1.   Condensed financial statements

Certain information and note disclosures normally included
in financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted
from these condensed financial statements.  These condensed
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the

The balance sheet at December 31, 1994 has been condensed
from the audited balance sheet as of that date.  The results
of operations for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1995 and 1994 are not necessarily indicative
of the operating results for the full year.

     In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of
     normal recurring adjustments, have been made to present
     fairly the Company's financial position at September 30,
     1995 and the results of its operations and its cash flows
     for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
     1995 and 1994.

2.   Stock split

     On April 25, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors approved
     a three-for-two stock split to shareholders of record on
     May 5, 1995.  The number of shares issued as of December 31,
     1994 as shown on the condensed balance sheets and the
     earnings per share amounts and weighted common shares
     outstanding shown on the condensed statements of operations
     for the three months ended September 30, 1994 and the nine
     month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 have been

         Operation

TIMBERLINE SOFTWARE CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
- ----------------------------------------------------------------

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

NET REVENUE.  Net revenue increased 5 percent to $5,766,000 in
the three months ended September 30, 1995 compared to $5,492,000
in the comparable period in 1994.  The major component of net
revenue, software sales, decreased 1 percent to $3,071,000 in the
1995 period from $3,115,000 in the 1994 period.  Construction
Gold software sales increased 28 percent in the three months
ended September 30, 1995 over the same period in 1994.  However,
there was also a sharp decline in property management software
sales due to large national account software sales in the 1994
period which did not reoccur in the 1995 period.  Software sales
represented 53 percent of net revenue in the three months ended
September 30, 1995 compared to 57 percent of net revenue in the
comparable period in 1994.

Service fees from maintenance, support and training, which
represented 45 and 42 percent of net revenue for the three months
ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, increased 14
percent to $2,618,000 in the 1995 period from $2,305,000 in the
1994 period.  The increase in service fees was principally due to
increased maintenance and support fees resulting from the
Company's larger customer base.  This increase was offset by a
decline in on-site training fees from national accounts which
have purchased the Company's property management software.  The
Company anticipates that service fees will continue to represent
a significant percentage of net revenue as the Company's
installed customer base continues to increase.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, net revenue
increased 17 percent to $17,631,000 from $15,076,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1994.  Software sales increased 10
percent to $9,363,000 compared to $8,538,000 in the same period
for 1994, primarily due to increased sales of construction
accounting software, particularly Construction Gold, and
estimating software.  Construction Gold software sales increased
40 percent and estimating software sales increased 11 percent in
the nine months ended September 30, 1995 over the same period in
1994.  Property management software sales in the first nine
months of 1995 dropped significantly compared to the same period
in 1994 due to a sharp decline in sales to national accounts in
the third quarter of 1995 as discussed above.  Architect and
engineer software sales also declined in the 1995 period compared
to the 1994 period.  Software sales represented 53 percent of
total revenue for the first nine months of 1995 compared to 57
percent for the same period in 1994.

Service fees, which represented 45 percent and 42 percent of net
revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994,
respectively, increased 27 percent to $8,003,000 in the 1995
period from $6,289,000 in the 1994 period.  The increase in
service fees was principally due to increased maintenance and
support fees resulting from the Company's larger customer base.

COST OF REVENUE.  Cost of revenue decreased to 9 percent of net
revenue for the three months ended September 30, 1995 compared to
14 percent for the comparable period in 1994.  For the nine
months ended September 30, 1995, cost of revenue decreased to 11
percent of net revenue from 14 percent for the same period in
1994.  These decreases were due primarily to service fees
representing a greater percentage of net revenue in the 1995
periods, lower costs and royalties associated with software sales
and a refund for services rendered from a vendor which provided
software assembly and shipping services to the Company.

OPERATING EXPENSES.  Operating expenses increased 15 percent to
$4,889,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1995 from
$4,234,000 for the same period in 1994.  Operating expenses
increased 20 percent to $14,728,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 from $12,235,000 for the comparable period in
1994.

Customer support expenses increased 27 percent to $1,292,000 for
the three months ended September 30, 1995 from $1,019,000 for the
same period in 1994.  Customer support expenses increased 28
percent to $3,694,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
1995 from $2,894,000 for the comparable period in 1994.  The
increases were primarily due to increased personnel, equipment,
and telephone costs required to handle the increased demand for
support, consulting and training services resulting from
increased sales of Construction Gold software.  The Company
anticipates continued increases in customer support expenses in
order to meet the demands of its customers and to maintain a high
quality level of service.

Product development expenses increased 18 percent to $1,247,000
for the three months ended September 30, 1995 from $1,055,000 for
the same period in 1994.  Product development expenses increased
31 percent to $3,777,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
1995 from $2,876,000 for the same period in 1994.  The increases
were primarily due to additional personnel necessary to maintain
the Company's existing products and to develop and test new
software products in the graphical user interface ("GUI")
environment.  Additional personnel were also needed to meet the
Company's software development schedule due to the complexity
involved in developing and testing GUI software products.  The
Company anticipates that eventually all of its products will
operate in the GUI environment.

Sales and marketing expenses increased 7 percent to $1,462,000 in
the three months ended September 30, 1995 from $1,368,000 for the
same period in 1994.  Sales and marketing expenses increased 10
percent to $4,390,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
1995 from $3,973,000 in the comparable period in 1994.  The
increases were primarily due to increased personnel costs in the
sales and telemarketing areas.  As a percent of net revenue,
sales and marketing expenses remained constant at 25 percent in
the three months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994.  As a percent
of net revenue, these expenses declined to 25 percent in the
first nine months of 1995 from 26 percent in the comparable 1994
period.

General and administrative expenses increased 12 percent to
$888,000 for the three months ended September 30,1995 from
$791,000 for the same period in 1994 and increased, as a
percentage of net revenue, to 15 percent in the three months
ended September 30, 1995 from 14 percent for the comparable
period in 1994.  The increase in general and administrative
expenses was due primarily to an increase in personnel and
equipment costs.

General and administrative expenses increased 15 percent to
$2,868,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 from
$2,493,000 for the same period in 1994.  This was primarily due
to a $204,000 increase in bad debt expense over the prior year as
the Company wrote off a large amount owed from a Canadian
customer in 1995.  Despite this, general and administrative
expenses, as a percent of net revenue, declined to 16 percent in
1995 from 17 percent in the first nine months of 1994.

OTHER INCOME.  Other income increased to $85,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1995 from $41,000 for the comparable
period in 1994.  For the nine months ended September 30, 1995,
other income increased to $270,000 from $118,000 for the
comparable period in 1994.  These increases were due to increased
interest income as a result of larger amounts of investable
funds.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES.  As a percent of income before income
taxes, the provision for income taxes was 31 percent for the
three months ended September 30, 1995 compared to 40 percent for
the comparable period in 1994.  For the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 and 1994, these percentages were 36 percent
and 39 percent, respectively.  The decrease in the year-to-date
tax percentage in 1995 was due primarily to a lower state tax
rate in 1995 and an increase in research tax credits.  The
decrease in the tax percentage rate for the three months ended
September 30, 1995 was due primarily to the factors discussed
above and the effect of changing the year-to-date income tax
provision to the revised estimated income tax rate for 1995.

Capital Resources and Liquidity
- -------------------------------

For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, net cash provided
by operations was $2,330,000 compared to $3,165,000 for the same
period in 1994.  This decrease, despite the increase in net
income in 1995 over the same period in 1994, was primarily due to
the increase in income tax payments in 1995.  Working capital
increased to $2,968,000 at September 30, 1995.  Cash, cash
equivalents and temporary cash investments, which represented 49
percent of the Company's total assets at September 30, 1995,
increased $1,525,000 during the first nine months of 1995 due
principally to the increase in cash provided by operations.  Net
accounts receivable at September 30, 1995 decreased $880,000
since December 31, 1994 reflecting a seasonal decline in sales in
September 1995 compared to December 1994 and the write-off of a
large receivable from a Canadian customer.  Other current assets
increased $275,000 primarily due to an increase in prepaid
expenses.

Accrued income taxes decreased $589,000 during the first nine
months of 1995 as a result of the payment of federal income taxes
owed for 1994 and estimated income tax payments for 1995. 
Deferred revenues increased $948,000 in the same period primarily
due to increased billings for annual maintenance and support
services.  Revenue from these billings is recognized monthly over
the term of the contracts.  Accrued employee expenses decreased
$125,000 during the first nine months of 1995 primarily due to
lower amounts owed for profit sharing bonuses.

The Company repurchased 27,000 shares of Common Stock during the
nine months ended September 30, 1995.  As of that date, the
Company's Board of Directors had authorized management to
repurchase up to 188,250 additional shares on the open market.

During the first nine months of 1995, the Company declared three
quarterly cash dividends amounting to $274,000.  In October 1995,
the Company's Board of Directors declared another cash dividend
of $.03 per share.

As of September 30, 1995, the Company had expended $750,000 of
its 1995 capital expenditure budget of $1,200,000 for computer
and telecommunication equipment.  The Company anticipates that it
will not spend all that it had budgeted in 1995 as some
expenditures will be delayed until 1996.  Subsequent capital
expenditures in 1995 are expected to be funded through current
cash balances and cash provided from operations.  The Company has
a $1,000,000 working capital line of credit that expires in May
1996.  At September 30, 1995, there were no outstanding
borrowings under the line of credit.
