TIMBERLINE SOFTWARE CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- ----------------------------------------------------------------

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
financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1995.
The balance sheet at December 31, 1995 has been condensed
from the audited balance sheet as of that date.  The results
of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and
1995 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 March 31, 1996
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
three month ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.


2.   Accounting pronouncement

In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation."  SFAS No. 123 requires expanded disclosures
of stock-based compensation arrangements with employees and
encourages (but does not require) compensation cost to be
measured based on the fair value of the equity instrument
awarded.  Companies are permitted, however, to continue to
apply Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock issued to Employees," which recognizes
compensation cost based on the intrinsic value of the equity
instrument awarded.  The Company will continue to apply APB
Opinion No. 25 to its stock-based compensation awards to
employees and will disclose the required pro forma effect on
net income and earnings per share in its financial
statements for the year ending December 31, 1996.


3.   Subsequent event - stock split

On April 18, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors approved
a three-for-two stock split to shareholders of record on 
May 3, 1996.  All common shares and per share amounts in
these condensed financial statements have been retroactively
adjusted to reflect this change.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of         
          Operation

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

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

NET REVENUE.  Net revenue increased 13 percent to $6,678,000 in
the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to $5,894,000 in
the comparable period in 1995.  The major component of net
revenue, software sales, increased 11 percent to $3,384,000 in
the 1996 period compared to $3,062,000 in the 1995 period.  Gold
Extended Edition software sales increased 25 percent in the three
months ended March 31, 1996 over the same period in 1995. 
Estimating software sales increased 32 percent in the three
months ended March 31, 1996 over the comparable period in 1995. 
These increases were offset in part by a 47 percent decrease in
property management software sales primarily due to a software
sale to a large national account in March 1995 that did not
reoccur in the 1996 period.  Software sales represented 51
percent of net revenue in the three months ended March 31, 1996
compared to 52 percent for the same period in 1995.

Service fees from maintenance, support and training, which
represented 47 and 46 percent of net revenue for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, increased 15 percent
to $3,133,000 in the 1996 period from $2,729,000 for the
comparable period in 1995.  The increase in service fees was due
to the increase in maintenance and support fees resulting from
the Company's larger user base.  The Company continues to
anticipate that service fees will represent a significant
percentage of net revenue.

COST OF REVENUE.  Cost of revenue, as a percentage of net
revenue, increased to 12 percent for the three months ended 
March 31, 1996 from 11 percent for the comparable period in 1995. 
The increase was primarily due to higher royalties expense and to
increased expenses related to training and consulting fees.

OPERATING EXPENSES.  Operating expenses increased six percent to
$5,226,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 from
$4,949,000 for the comparable period in 1995.  Customer support
expenses increased 24 percent to $1,486,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 from $1,196,000 for the same period in 1995,
primarily due to additional personnel costs required to handle
the increased demand for support, consulting and training
services resulting from the increased sales of Gold Extended
Edition software.  The Company anticipates 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 decreased 10 percent to $1,126,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1996 from $1,249,000 for the
comparable period in 1995.  The decrease in expenses was
principally due to the capitalization of $247,000 of expenses
related to the development of new Windows-based software products
for the estimating and construction markets.  The Company
anticipates releasing these new products in the summer of 1996. 
Without the effect of the capitalization of product development
expenses, total product development expenses increased 10 percent
in the three months ended March 31, 1996 over the same period in
1995, primarily due to additional personnel required to maintain
the Company's existing software products and to develop and test
the new software products in the Windows environment.  The
Company anticipates that eventually all of its products will
operate in the Windows environment and that additional personnel
will be required in 1996.

Sales and marketing expenses increased 19 percent to $1,682,000
in the three months ended March 31, 1996 from $1,418,000 for the
comparable period in 1995 primarily due to increases in marketing
personnel and trade show expenses.  As a percentage of net
revenue, sales and marketing expenses increased to 25 percent for
the three months ended March 31, 1996 from 24 percent for the
same period in 1995.

General and administrative expenses decreased 14 percent to
$932,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 from
$1,086,000 for the comparable period in 1995 primarily due to a
$155,000 reduction in bad debt expense.  General and
administrative expenses in the 1995 period included a large bad
debt expense for the write-off of a receivable from a Canadian
customer that went bankrupt in 1995.  As a percentage of net
revenue, general and administrative expenses decreased to 14
percent for the three months ended March 31, 1996 from 18 percent
for the same period in 1995.

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

During the three months ended March 31, 1996, net cash provided
by operations was $1,227,000 compared to $958,000 for the same
period in 1995.  Working capital increased slightly since
December 31, 1995 to $3,969,000.  Cash, cash equivalents and
temporary cash investments, which represented 53 percent of total
assets at March 31, 1996, increased $602,000 since December 31,
1995, principally due to the increase in cash and cash
equivalents provided by operations.  Net accounts receivable at
March 31, 1996 decreased $463,000 since December 31, 1995, due
primarily to the seasonal decline in sales in the first quarter
of 1996 compared to the fourth quarter of 1995.  Other current
assets increased $129,000 since December 31, 1995, primarily due
to an increase in prepaid insurance costs.  Net capitalized
software costs increased $204,000 since December 31, 1995,
primarily due to the addition of $247,000 of capitalized software
development costs during the first three months of 1996 related
to the development of new Windows-based software products for the
estimating and construction markets.  The Company anticipates
further capitalization of software development costs for the
remainder of 1996 as it develops Windows-based software products
for all of its product lines.

Accounts payable increased $143,000 since December 31, 1995
primarily due to accrued expenses for regional training classes
and a national users' conference.  Deferred revenues increased
$524,000 in the same period primarily due to increased billings
for annual maintenance and support services and for training
classes.  Revenue from annual maintenance and support service
billings are recognized monthly over the terms of the contracts
while revenue from training fees are recognized when the training
occurs.  Accrued employee expenses decreased $464,000 during the
first three months of 1996 primarily as a result of the payment
of the Company's 1995 contribution to its 401(k) plan and
payments to employees for 1995 profit sharing bonuses.

In January 1996, the Company declared a regular cash dividend of
$138,000, representing $.0267 per share, after giving effect to
the subsequent three-for-two stock split to shareholders.  See
Note 3 of Notes to Condensed Financial Statements.  The Company
anticipates continuing to pay quarterly cash dividends.

As of March 31, 1996, the Company had expended $240,000 of its
1996 capital expenditure budget of $1,300,000.  Subsequent
capital expenditures in 1996 are expected to be funded through
current cash balances and cash provided from operations.  

The Company had a $1,000,000 working capital line of credit that
expired May 1, 1996.  The Company decided not to renew its line
of credit at this time because its cash reserves are sufficient
to provide anticipated working capital needs.
