                  ANSYS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
      NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                       September 30, 2000
                           (UNAUDITED)

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements included herein have been prepared by ANSYS, Inc. (the
"Company") in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information for commercial and
industrial companies and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule
10-01 of Regulation S-X.  The financial statements as of and for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 should be read
in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial
statements (and notes thereto) included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.
Accordingly, the accompanying statements do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the
opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a
fair presentation of the financial statements have been included,
and all adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.
Operating results for the three months and nine months ended
September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2000.

2. ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

As of December 31, 1999, accumulated other comprehensive income,
as reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, was
comprised of unrealized gains on securities available for sale.

3. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

ACQUISITION OF PACIFIC MARKETING AND CONSULTING, INC.

On August 30, 2000, ANSYS, Inc. and GenesisOne Acquisition
Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary
of ANSYS, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
"Merger Agreement") with Pacific Marketing and Consulting, Inc.,
a California corporation ("PMAC"), and its officers and
stockholders.  The transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement were consummated on August 31, 2000 with the merger of
PMAC with and into GenesisOne.

In the merger, each share of common stock of PMAC outstanding at
the time of the Merger ceased to be outstanding and each such
share was converted into the right to receive the initial merger
consideration provided for under the Merger Agreement.  Holders
of PMAC's Class A voting and Class B non-voting common stock
received initial merger consideration consisting of an aggregate
of 618,992 shares of ANSYS common stock, valued for purposes of
such issuance at $10.01563 per share, and cash in an aggregate
amount of  $5,832,531. Holders of PMAC's Class C non-voting
common stock received initial merger consideration aggregating
$367,290 solely in cash.  Of the total initial stock
consideration, an aggregate of 123,795 shares of ANSYS common
stock were delivered into escrow, to be released on August 31,
2001 or, if later, upon the resolution of any outstanding
indemnification claims secured by such shares.  In addition,
$3,000,000 of the initial aggregate cash consideration was
delivered into escrow, to be released during the first quarter of
2001 upon and subject to the determination of certain post-
closing adjustments and claims.

The Merger Agreement also provides for certain additional future
payments if the acquired business achieves certain performance
criteria. Such additional contingent consideration will be paid
to the former holders of PMAC Class A and Class B common stock
48.4737% in cash and 51.5263% in shares of ANSYS common stock,
valued for such purposes at the average closing price for the
twenty consecutive trading days preceding the date of such
payment.  The total number of shares of ANSYS common stock that
will be issued under the Merger Agreement therefore will depend
on the future value of ANSYS common stock.  The total amount of
funds required to pay the initial aggregate cash consideration
was $6,199,821, which was obtained from the working capital of
ANSYS.  The aggregate merger consideration was determined on the
basis of arms' length negotiations between representatives of
ANSYS and PMAC.

The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and,
accordingly, the operating results of PMAC have been included in
the Company's consolidated financial statements since the date of
acquisition, August 31, 2000.  The total purchase price was
allocated to the assets and liabilities of PMAC based upon their
estimated fair market values.  The allocation of the purchase
price was based on an independent valuation and included an
allocation of $8,242,000 to identifiable intangibles (including
$2,700,000 to assembled workforce, $2,345,000 to existing
software, $1,790,000 to non-compete agreements and $1,407,000 to
customer list) and $9,501,000 to goodwill.  The identified
intangibles and goodwill are being amortized over three to five
years.

The following unaudited pro forma information presents the
results of operations of the Company as if the acquisition had
occurred at the beginning of the nine month periods ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

            REVIEW REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
          --------------------------------------------



To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
  ANSYS, Inc. and Subsidiaries:


We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance
sheet of ANSYS, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2000,
and the related condensed consolidated statements of income for
each of the three-month and nine-month periods ended September
30, 2000 and 1999 and the condensed consolidated statements of
cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000
and 1999. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of
interim financial information consists principally of applying
analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of
persons responsible for financial accounting matters.  It is
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which
is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements
taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications
that should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated
interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.

We previously audited in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America, the
consolidated balance sheet of ANSYS, Inc. and Subsidiaries
as of December 31, 1999 and the related consolidated statements
of income, stockholders' equity and of cash flows for the year
then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated
January 27, 2000, we expressed an unqualified opinion on
those consolidated financial statements.  In our opinion, the
information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated
balance sheet as of December 31, 1999, is fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet
from which it has been derived.

Item 2.
             MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
          FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

ANSYS, Inc. (the "Company") is a leading international supplier
of analysis and engineering software for optimizing the design of
new products.  The Company is committed to providing the most
open and flexible analysis solutions to suit customer
requirements for engineering software in today's competitive
marketplace.  In addition, the Company partners with leading
design software suppliers to develop state-of-the-art computer-
aided design ("CAD") integrated products.  Sales, support and
training for customers are provided primarily through the
Company's global network of independent ANSYS Support
Distributors ("ASDs"). The Company distributes and supports its
ANSYS(r) and DesignSpace(r) product lines through its ASDs, certain
direct sales offices, as well as a network of independent
distributors and dealers. The following discussion should be read
in conjunction with the attached unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto for the three-month and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000 and September 30,
1999 and with the Company's audited financial statements and
notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.

This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including statements
below concerning future trends related to paid-up and lease
license revenue, expectations of sales growth in the Company's
DesignSpace and ANSYS/Professional products, the Company's
intentions related to continued investments in sales and
marketing and research and development, plans related to future
capital spending, the sufficiency of existing cash and cash
equivalent balances to meet future working capital and capital
expenditure requirements, comments regarding the effective tax
rate and cost of sales increases in future quarters, as well as
statements which contain such words as "anticipates", "intends",
"believes", "plans" and other similar expressions.  The Company's
actual results could differ materially from those set forth in
forward-looking statements. Certain factors that might cause such
a difference include risks and uncertainties detailed in the
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" section in the 1999 Annual Report to
Shareholders and in "Certain Factors Regarding Future Results"
included herein as Exhibit 99 to this Form 10-Q.


Results of Operations

Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared to Three Months
Ended September 30, 1999

Revenue. The Company's total revenue increased 16.8% in the 2000
quarter to $16.7 million from $14.3 million in the 1999 quarter.
Revenue for the third quarter of 2000 includes revenue of
approximately $961,000 from the acquisition of Pacific Marketing
and Consulting, Inc.("ICEM CFD").  The remaining increase in
revenue resulted primarily from higher paid-up license sales.
Higher maintenance and service revenue, primarily from
maintenance contracts sold in association with increased paid-up
licenses in both the current and recent quarters, also
contributed to the overall revenue increase.

Software license revenue increased 13.5% in the 2000 quarter to
$8.6 million from $7.6 million in the 1999 quarter, resulting
primarily from increased sales of paid-up licenses. Revenue from
the sale of paid-up licenses increased 27.3% to $6.6 million from
$5.2 million in the prior year quarter. The Company anticipates
that revenue from sales of paid-up licenses will increase as
sales of its DesignSpace and ANSYS/Professional products grow.
These products are priced at much lower price points compared to
the traditional high-end product offerings and are sold primarily
as paid-up licenses.  Also contributing to the license revenue
growth was approximately $600,000 in revenue from the acquisition
of ICEM CFD.

The increases in software license revenue discussed above were
partially offset by a $509,000 reduction in noncancellable annual
lease license revenue and a $447,000 reduction in monthly lease
license revenue. The decrease in noncancellable annual lease
license revenue was principally attributable to the conversion of
existing noncancellable annual leases to paid-up licenses in both
the current and recent quarters. The Company believes that a 1999
increase in its annual lease price was a primary economic factor
in influencing certain noncancellable annual lease conversions.
The decrease in monthly lease license revenue is consistent with
recent quarterly trends and resulted from existing monthly leases
being renewed as noncancellable annual leases or converted to
paid-up licenses.  The Company believes that the reduction in
lease license revenue on a quarterly comparison basis will
continue throughout the remainder of 2000.

Maintenance and service revenue increased 20.6% in the 2000
quarter to $8.0 million from $6.7 million in the 1999 quarter.
The increase was primarily a result of maintenance contracts sold
in association with the paid-up license sales discussed above.
Also contributing to the maintenance and service revenue growth
was approximately $400,000 in revenue from the acquisition of
ICEM CFD.

Of the Company's total revenue for the 2000 quarter,
approximately 56.6% and 43.4%, respectively, were attributable to
international and domestic sales, as compared to 56.0% and 44.0%,
respectively, in the 1999 quarter.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit.  The Company's total cost of
sales increased 31.7% to $2.1 million, or 12.5% of total revenue
for the 2000 quarter, from $1.6 million, or 11.1% of total
revenue for the 1999 quarter.  The increase in the 2000 quarter
was principally attributable to higher royalty costs, as well as
costs associated with consulting services provided by ICEM CFD.
The Company anticipates that total cost of sales as a percentage
of revenue will increase slightly in future quarters as a result
of the ICEM CFD acquisition.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company's gross profit
increased 15.0% to $14.6 million in the 2000 quarter from $12.7
million in the 1999 quarter.

Selling and Marketing.  Total selling and marketing expenses
increased from $3.4 million, or 23.7% of total revenue in the
1999 quarter, to $4.3 million, or 25.8% of total revenue in the
2000 quarter.  The increase was attributable primarily to costs
associated with the Company's biannual worldwide users'
conference.  Increased sales consulting costs related to sales
training initiatives for both the direct and indirect sales
channels also contributed to the increase.  The Company
anticipates that it will continue to make significant investments
in its global sales and marketing organization to strengthen its
competitive position, to enhance major account sales activities
and to support its worldwide sales channels and marketing
strategies.

Research and Development.  Research and development expenses
increased 11.2% to $3.5 million, or 20.7% of total revenue for
the 2000 quarter, from $3.1 million, or 21.8% of total revenue
for the 1999 quarter. The increase in the 2000 quarter was
attributable to development costs associated with the acquisition
of ICEM CFD.  The Company has traditionally invested significant
resources in research and development activities and intends to
continue to make significant investments throughout the remainder
of 2000.

Amortization.  Amortization expense increased to $523,000 for the
2000 quarter compared to $187,000 for the 1999 quarter. The
increase resulted from amortization associated with the
acquisition of ICEM CFD.

General and Administrative.  General and administrative expenses
increased 20.2% to $2.5 million, or 15.0% of total revenue in the
2000 quarter, from $2.1 million, or 14.6% of total revenue in the
1999 quarter.  The increase was primarily the result of
approximately $275,000 in one-time charges associated with the
acquisition of ICEM CFD, as well as consulting costs related to
implementation of the Company's customer relationship management
system.  These increases were partially offset by a reduction in
legal costs.

Other Income.  Other income increased 28.6% to $877,000 for the
2000 quarter as compared to $682,000 for the 1999 quarter.  This
increase was attributable to an increasing interest rate
environment as compared to the prior year quarter.

Income Tax Provision. The Company's effective rate of taxation
was 30.0% for the 2000 quarter as compared to 27.0% for the 1999
quarter.  The effective rate increased from the prior year
quarter as a result of certain non-deductible amortization associated
with the acquisition of ICEM CFD.  These rates are lower than
the federal and state combined statutory rate as a result
of the utilization of a foreign sales corporation, as well
as the generation of research and experimentation credits.
As a result of the acquisition of ICEM CFD, the Company
anticipates that the effective tax rate will increase in
the fourth quarter of 2000 and will reach a rate in
the range of 35% early in 2001.

Net Income.  The Company's net income in the 2000 quarter was
$3.3 million as compared to $3.4 million in the 1999 quarter.
Diluted earnings per share increased to $.21 in the 2000 quarter
as compared to $.20 in the 1999 quarter. The weighted average
shares used in computing net income per diluted common share were
16.0 million in the 2000 quarter and 17.0 million in the 1999
quarter.




Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared to Nine Months
Ended September 30, 1999

Revenue. The Company's total revenue increased 10.5% for the 2000
nine months to $50.3 million from $45.5 million for the 1999 nine
months. The increase was attributable primarily to an increase in
paid-up licenses associated with increased sales of new paid-up
licenses and, to a lesser extent, the conversion of existing
leases to paid-up licenses.  Higher maintenance and service
revenue, resulting primarily from maintenance contracts sold in
association with increased paid-up license sales, and
approximately $961,000 of revenue associated with the third
quarter acquisition of ICEM CFD, also contributed to the
increase.

Software license revenue totaled $28.6 million for the 2000 nine
months as compared to $26.6 million for the 1999 nine months, an
increase of 7.2%.  The increase resulted principally from an
increase in sales of paid-up licenses.  Revenue from the sale of
paid-up licenses increased 25.4% for the 2000 nine-month period
to $21.0 million from $16.7 million in the comparable prior year
period.

The increase in sales of paid-up licenses was partially offset by
a $1.6 million decrease in noncancellable annual lease license
revenue and a $1.3 million reduction in monthly lease license
revenue for the 2000 nine-month period as compared to the
comparable 1999 period. The decrease in noncancellable annual
lease license revenue was principally attributable to the
conversion of existing noncancellable annual leases to paid-up
licenses in recent periods.  The Company believes that a 1999
increase in its annual lease price was a primary economic factor
in influencing certain noncancellable annual lease conversions.
The reduction in monthly lease license revenue resulted from
existing monthly leases being renewed as noncancellable annual
leases or converted to paid-up licenses.

Maintenance and service revenue increased 15.0% in the 2000 nine-
month period to $21.8 million from $18.9 million in the
comparable 1999 period.  The increase was primarily the result of
maintenance contracts sold in association with the paid-up
license sales discussed above.

Of the Company's total revenue for the 2000 six months,
approximately 56.3% and 43.7%, respectively, were attributable to
international and domestic sales, as compared to 56.7% and 43.3%,
respectively, for the 1999 nine months.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit.  The Company's total cost of
sales increased 21.1% to $5.9 million, or 11.7% of total revenue
for the 2000 nine months, from $4.9 million, or 10.7% of total
revenue for the 1999 nine months.  The increase in the 2000
period was principally attributable to higher salaries and
related expenses associated with increased headcount to support
the growth in license and service sales, as well as increased
royalty costs. The Company anticipates that total cost of sales
as a percentage of revenue will increase slightly in future
quarters as a result of the ICEM CFD acquisition.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company's gross profit
increased 9.2% to $44.4 million for the 2000 nine months from
$40.7 million for the 1999 nine months.

Selling and Marketing.  Selling and marketing expenses increased
10.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 to $12.2
million, or 24.2% of total revenue, from $11.0 million, or 24.2%
of total revenue for the comparable 1999 period.  The increase
was primarily the result of higher salaries and related expenses
associated with the hiring of key personnel to bolster the
Company's sales and marketing capabilities, as well as costs
associated with the Company's biannual worldwide users'
conference.

Research and Development. Research and development costs
increased 3.4% to $10.1 million, or 20.0% of total revenue for
the 2000 nine months, from $9.7 million, or 21.4% of total
revenue for the 1999 nine months.  The increase in the 2000
period was principally attributable to higher consulting costs as
well as development costs associated with the acquisition of ICEM
CFD.

Amortization. Amortization expense increased to $922,000 for the
2000 nine months compared to $588,000 for the 1999 nine months.
The increase resulted from amortization associated with the
acquisition of ICEM CFD.

General and Administrative.  General and administrative expenses
increased 7.4% for the 2000 nine months to $7.5 million, or 14.8%
of total revenue, from $6.9 million, or 15.2% of total revenue
for the 1999 nine months.  The increase was primarily the result
of a $500,000 one-time charge in the first quarter related to the
expiration of an ASD distribution agreement, as well as
approximately $275,000 in one-time charges associated with the
acquisition of ICEM CFD.

Other Income.  Other income increased 51.0% to $2.8 million in
the 2000 nine-month period as compared to $1.8 million in the
1999 nine-month period.  This increase was attributable to an
increasing interest rate environment as compared to the
comparable prior year period and a $151,000 one-time gain related
to the sale of investment securities in the first quarter of
2000.

Income Tax Provision. The Company's effective rate of taxation
was 28.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, as
compared to 25.3% for the comparable 1999 period. The 1999 rate
was favorably impacted by a one-time tax benefit related to an
amended prior year tax return.   These percentages are less than
the federal and state combined statutory rate as a result of the
utilization of a foreign sales corporation, as well as the
generation of research and experimentation credits.  As a result
of the acquisition of ICEM CFD, the Company anticipates that the
effective tax rate will increase in the fourth quarter of 2000
and will reach a rate in the range of 35% early in 2001.

Net Income.  The Company's net income in the first nine months of
2000 totaled $11.9 million as compared to net income of $10.6
million in the first nine months of 1999.  As a result of the
increase in net income, diluted earnings per share increased to
$0.73 in the 2000 nine months as compared to diluted earnings per
share of $0.63 in the 1999 nine months. The weighted average
shares used in computing net income per diluted common share
totaled 16.3 million and 16.7 million in the 2000 and 1999 nine-
month periods, respectively.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2000, the Company had cash, cash equivalents
and short-term investments totaling $50.6 million and working
capital of $41.5 million, as compared to cash, cash equivalents
and short-term investments of $57.1 million and working capital
of $52.7 million at December 31, 1999.  The short-term
investments are generally investment grade and liquid-type, which
allows the Company to minimize interest rate risk and to
facilitate liquidity in the event an immediate cash need arises.

The Company's operating activities provided cash of $17.9 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and $13.5 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.  The increase in
the Company's cash flow from operations for the 2000 nine-month
period as compared to the comparable 1999 period was a result of
increased earnings, improved accounts receivable collections and
the timing of payments related to certain operating expenses.
Net cash generated by operating activities provided sufficient
resources to fund increased headcount and capital needs, as well
as to sustain share repurchase activity under the Company's
announced share repurchase program.

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $4.4 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and $14.1 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1999.  Cash used in the 2000
nine-month period primarily related to the acquisition of ICEM
CFD and capital expenditures.  These costs were partially offset
by net maturities of short-term investments.  Cash used in the
1999 nine-month period related primarily to net purchases of
short-term investments and capital expenditures. The Company
currently plans additional capital spending of approximately
$500,000 throughout the remainder of 2000; however, the level of
spending will be dependent upon various factors, including growth
of the business and general economic conditions.

Financing activities used net cash of $12.5 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 and provided cash of $753,000 for
the comparable 1999 period. In 2000, cash outlays related to the
Company's share repurchase program were partially offset by
proceeds from the issuance of common stock under employee stock
purchase and option plans. In the 1999 quarter, cash provided
from financing activities related primarily to proceeds from the
issuance of common stock under employee stock purchase and option
plans.

The Company believes that existing cash and cash equivalent
balances together with cash generated from operations will be
sufficient to meet the Company's working capital and capital
expenditure requirements, as well as cash required for the
Company's share repurchase program through the remainder of 2000.
The Company's cash requirements in the future may also be
financed through additional equity or debt financings.  There can
be no assurance that such financings can be obtained on favorable
terms, if at all.

Conversion to the Euro

On January 1, 1999, eleven of the member countries of the
European Union established fixed conversion rates between their
existing currencies and one common currency, the euro.  The
legacy currencies will remain legal currency in the participating
countries during a transition period through January 1, 2002.
Beginning on this date, new euro-denominated currency will be
issued and the legacy currencies will be withdrawn from
circulation.

The Company is currently in the process of identifying and
addressing issues that may result from the euro conversion such
as changes to information systems to accommodate euro-denominated
transactions, long-term competitive implications and the exposure
to market risk with respect to financial instruments.  Although
the Company's assessment of the impact of the euro conversion is
not yet complete, it currently does not believe that the
conversion will have a material adverse impact on its financial
position or results of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
FASB Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions
Involving Stock Compensation."  This Interpretation clarifies
such issues as: (a) the definition of employee for purposes of
applying APB Opinion No. 25, (b) the criteria for determining
whether a plan qualifies as a noncompensatory plan, (c) the
accounting consequence of various modifications to the terms of a
previously fixed stock option or award, and (d) the accounting
for an exchange of stock compensation awards in a business
combination. This Interpretation is effective July 1, 2000, but
certain conclusions in this Interpretation cover specific events
that occur after either December 15, 1998, or January 12, 2000.
To the extent that this Interpretation covers events occurring
during the period after December 15, 1998, or January 12, 2000,
but before the effective date of July 1, 2000, the effects of
applying this Interpretation are recognized on a prospective
basis from July 1, 2000. The adoption of this Interpretation did
not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or
results of operations.
