                          THE MACNEAL-SCHWENDLER CORPORATION
                      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                     (UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1:  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial information is condensed
from that which would appear in the annual financial statements and should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in The
MacNeal-Schwendler Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
January 31, 1997.

    Supplemental cash flow information for taxes paid during the six months
ended July 31, 1997 and 1996 were $2,257,000 and $2,159,000, respectively.
Additionally, the Company paid interest of $2,227,000 on its Convertible
Subordinated Debentures due 2004 during both six month periods ended July 31,
1997 and July 31, 1996, respectively.

    Fully-diluted earnings per share calculated under the treasury method were
anti-dilutive for the three and six months ended July 31, 1997 and for the same
periods ended July 31, 1996.  Fully-diluted earnings per share under the
treasury method are calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, adjusted for the
pro forma effects of stock option exercises and debenture conversions.

    In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings per Share."  SFAS
No. 128 establishes a different method of computing earnings per share than is
currently required under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 15.  Under SFAS No. 128, the Company will be required to present both basic
earnings per share and diluted earnings per share.  Basic earnings per share for
the three and six months ended July 31, 1997 would have been $0.18 and $0.32,
respectively, $0.14 and $0.26 for the same periods of 1996.  Diluted earnings
per share for the three and six months ended July 31, 1997 and 1996 would have
been anti-dilutive.  The Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 128 in its fourth
quarter of the current fiscal year, and at that time all historical earnings per
share data presented will be restated to conform to the provisions of SFAS No.
128.

    All interim financial data is unaudited but, in the opinion of management,
reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation thereof.  However, it
should be understood that accounting measurements at interim dates may be less
precise than at year end.  Operating results for the six months ended July 31,
1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ended January 31, 1998.

    Certain reclassifications have been made to the financial information for
the three months and six months ended July 31, 1996 in order to conform to the
July 31, 1997 presentation.

                       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1997 VS. THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1996

    Consolidated revenues were $32,292,000 in the second quarter, compared to
revenues of $32,557,000 in the second quarter of the prior fiscal year.
Current-quarter revenues were adversely affected by the sale of the MSC/EMAS
product line in the second quarter of the prior fiscal year.  If MSC/EMAS
revenues were excluded from prior year revenues, consolidated second quarter
revenues would have increased by 4% in the current year.  In addition, second
quarter revenues, measured in U.S. dollars, were adversely affected by the
strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Japanese yen and German mark
compared to the same quarter last year.  Had the U.S. dollar remained at the
same foreign exchange levels as the prior year, consolidated second quarter
revenues would have been higher by approximately $1,881,000, or 6%.  The amount
of service revenue was not material to total revenues for the quarters ended
July 31, 1997 and July 31, 1996.

    Excluding prior year MSC/EMAS revenues, Asia Pacific and European revenues,
measured in local currency, increased by 16% and 10%, respectively, and the
Americas revenues increased by 5%.  On a geographical basis, the Americas
represented 44%, Europe represented 28%, and Asia Pacific represented 28% of
total revenues for the quarter.

    Cost of revenue increased $1,262,000, or 26%, entirely as a result of an
increase in the amortization of capitalized software costs compared to the
second quarter of the prior fiscal year.  Royalty expense is included in cost of
revenue and paid to third parties under various agreements.  The Company does
not consider any royalty expense related to individual agreements to be
material.  Research and development costs, which are reported net of capitalized
software costs, decreased $3,439,00, or 55%, due to several factors.  In the
second quarter, the amount of research and development costs capitalized
increased by $1,152,000 compared to the second quarter of the prior year, due to
the increased level of new product development in the current quarter.  The
amount of research and development costs capitalized fluctuates from quarter to
quarter, depending in part on the number of products and their stage of
development.  Software capitalization consists primarily of the costs of writing
code and quality assurance testing.  Excluding software capitalization, the
decrease in research and development expenses was 28%, due mostly to changes in
development staffing and exchange rate fluctuations that reduced overseas
development expenses measured in dollars.  In the second quarter, the amount of
selling, general and administrative costs increased by $1,228,000 worldwide
compared to the same period of the prior year, due to increased staffing
resulting from the build-up of infrastructure and increased related expenses
from that growth.  The resulting changes as described above generated an overall
decrease in operating expenses of 3%, to $27,529,000, compared to the same
quarter last year.



    The Company's resulting operating income for the quarter ended July 31,
1997 was $4,763,000, a 16% increase from operating income of $4,101,000 during
the second quarter last year.  The net effect of the capitalization of software
development costs and the amortization of such capitalized costs was a net
benefit of $152,000 for the three months ended July 31, 1997, compared to a net
benefit of $317,000 for the three months ended July 31, 1996.  Excluding net
software capitalization, operating income for the three months ended July 31,
1997 rose 22% compared to the three months ended July 31, 1996.


    Other income includes interest income, investment income, foreign exchange
gain/loss and other income.  The increase in other income for the quarter 
ended July 31, 1997, compared to the same period last year, was 
predominantly due to an increase in interest income.  The Company did not
experience a material foreign currency transaction gain or loss during the
quarters ended July 31, 1997 and July 31, 1996.





                                          8

    Net income was $2,458,000 compared to net income of $1,850,000 in the prior
year, an increase of 33%.  Primary earnings per share for the three months ended
July 31, 1997 were $0.18 compared to $0.14 for the three months ended July 31,
1996.  The stronger U.S. dollar had an adverse effect on second quarter
earnings.  Had exchange rates for the three months ended July 31, 1997 remained
the same as for the three months ended July 31, 1996, net income and primary
earnings per share would have been higher by $628,000 and $0.04, respectively.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1997 VS. SIX MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1996

    Consolidated revenues were $64,228,000 for the six months ended July
31,1997 compared to revenues of $64,578,000 for the same period of the prior
fiscal year.  Current year to date revenues were adversely affected by the sale
of the MSC/EMAS product line in the second quarter of the prior fiscal year.  If
MSC/EMAS revenues were excluded from prior year revenues, consolidated second
quarter revenues would have increased by 3% in the current year.  In addition,
year to date revenues, measured in U.S. dollars, were adversely affected by the
strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Japanese yen and German mark
compared to the same period last year.  Had the U.S. dollar remained at the
same foreign exchange levels as the prior year, consolidated year to date
revenues would have been higher by approximately $4,076,000, or 6%.  The amount
of service revenue was not material to total revenues for the six months ended
July 31, 1997 and July 31, 1996.

    Excluding prior year MSC/EMAS revenues, Asia Pacific and European revenues,
measured in local currency, increased by 17% and 6%, respectively, and the
Americas revenues increased by 8%.  On a geographical basis, the Americas
represented 42%, Europe represented 30%, and Asia Pacific represented 28% of
total revenues for the six month period ended July 31, 1997.

    Cost of revenue increased $2,318,000, or 24%, entirely as a result of an
increase in the amortization of capitalized software costs compared to the six
month period of the prior fiscal year. Royalty expense is included in cost of
revenue and paid to third parties under various agreements.  The Company does 
not consider any royalty expense related to individual agreements to be 
material.  Research and development costs, which are reported net of capitalized
software costs, decreased $5,096,000, or 46%, due to several factors.  In the
six month period, the amount of research and development costs capitalized
increased by $1,584,000 compared to the same period of the prior year, due to
the increased level of new product development in the current six month period.
The amount of research and development costs capitalized fluctuates from period
to period, depending in part on the number of products and their stage of
development.  Software capitalization consists primarily of the costs of writing
code and quality assurance testing.  Excluding software capitalization, the
decrease in research and development expenses was 22%, due mostly to changes in
development staffing and exchange rate fluctuations that reduced overseas
development expenses measured in dollars. In the six month period, the amount of
selling, general and administrative costs increased by $1,505,000 worldwide
compared to the same period of the prior year, due to increased staffing
resulting from the build-up of infrastructure and increased related expenses
from that growth.  The resulting changes as described above generated an overall
decrease in operating expenses of 2%, to $55,361,000, compared to the same
quarter last year.

    The Company's resulting operating income for the six months ended July 31,
1997 was $8,867,000, a 12% increase from operating income of $7,944,000 during
the same period of last year.  The net effect of the capitalization of software
development costs and the amortization of such capitalized costs was a net
benefit of $152,000 for the six months ended July 31, 1997, compared to a net
benefit of $901,000 for the six months ended July 31, 1996.  Excluding net
software capitalization, operating income for the six months ended July 31, 1997
rose 24% compared to the six months ended July 31, 1996.

    Other income includes interest income, investment income, foreign exchange
gain/loss and other income.  The increase in other income for the six months 
ended July 31, 1997, compared to the same period of last year, was predominantly
due to an increase in interest income.  The Company did not experience a
material foreign currency transaction gain or loss during the six months ended
July 31, 1997 and July 31, 1996.

    Net income was $4,384,000 compared to net income of $3,527,000 in the prior
year, an increase of 24%.  Primary earnings per share for the six months ended
July 31, 1997 were $0.32 compared to $0.26 for the six months ended July 31,
1996.  The stronger U.S. dollar had an adverse effect on earnings.  Had exchange
rates for the six months ended July 31, 1997 remained the same as for the six
months ended July 31, 1996, net income and primary earnings per share would have
been higher by $1,390,000 and $0.10, respectively.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    Historically, working capital needed to finance the Company's operations
and growth has been provided by cash on hand and cash flow from operations.
Management believes that cash generated from operations will continue to be
sufficient for working capital needs in the foreseeable future.  Net cash from
operating activities was $10,754,000 in the six months ended July 31, 1997,
compared with $9,313,000 during the comparable period of the prior year.  Cash
and short-term investments were $26,258,000 at July 31, 1997 compared to
$25,068,000 at January 31, 1997.  The increase in cash and short-term
equivalents was a composite result of the Company's normal business cycle.  The
Company generally experiences an increase in cash during the first six months
of a fiscal year resulting from cash receipts related to strong year-end sales
activity.  The Company's working capital was $36,998,000 at July 31, 1997, an
increase from $33,029,000 at January 31, 1997. The Company has an agreement
for a $15,000,000 unsecured line of credit with its principal bank at the
prevailing prime rate.  No amounts were outstanding under this agreement at
July 31, 1997.


    The Company issued convertible subordinated debentures in connection with
the PDA acquisition in the aggregate amount of approximately $56,608,000. The
debentures bear interest at 7-7/8%, with interest payments due semi-annually in
March and September.  A debenture interest payment of $2,226,000 was made in
March 1997.  The amount of interest will decrease if the debentures are
converted into common stock.  The debentures mature in August 2004.

    Management expects to continue to reinvest the Company's revenues in the
research and development of new computer software products and the enhancement
of existing products.  Total research and development costs were $12,013,000 and
$14,776,000 for the six months ended July 31, 1997 and July 31, 1996,
respectively, of which $5,915,000 and $3,582,000 were capitalized.  Product
development costs and the capitalization rate vary depending in part on the
number of products in process and the stage of development of those products.

    During the six months ended July 31, 1997 and July 31, 1996, the Company
acquired $2,379,000 and $2,409,000, respectively, of new property and equipment.
Capital expenditures during the current and prior fiscal years included upgrades
to computer equipment and facilities worldwide.  The Company's capital
expenditures vary from year to year as required by business needs.  The Company
intends to continue to expand the capabilities of its computer equipment, which
is used in the development and support of its proprietary software products.
Management expects overall expenditures for property and equipment in fiscal 
years 1998 and 1999 to be consistent with those for the fiscal year ended
January 31, 1997.
