I.   Accounting Comments

     With respect to the unaudited statements for the interim periods included

the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 17, 1995, which incorporates
the financial statements and notes thereto, including a summary of significant

     The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the
results for the entire year.








FORM 10-Q

                             BGS SYSTEMS, INC.
                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
             OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Material Changes in Results of Operations

Operating revenues for the first nine months of fiscal year 1996 increased 17%
over the prior year.  Sales of the Company s newer UNIX products pushed
license fee growth to 21% for the nine-month period and 17% for the third
quarter.  Sales of the Company s Datacenter and Visualizer products kept pace
with the prior year s demand.  License fee revenue from the Company's
international operations showed improvement in the third quarter.  The
Company's German operations posted improved results, with the balance of the
Company's international operations continuing to show growth.   The timing and
frequency of large software purchases by the Company's customers continues to
impact the performance of one or more of the Company's operating units each
quarter, and continues to be of concern because of the increased potential for
unevenness in the total revenue of the Company for the foreseeable future.

Maintenance fee revenue grew approximately 14% in the nine month period and
16% in the third quarter over the comparable periods of the prior year.  The
Company continues to experience a high degree of nonrenewal for its more
mature products and an unpredictable and uneven renewal of some large
maintenance contracts relating to the sales of newer products.  If this were
to continue, it will adversely impact maintenance revenue not only in the
latter part of the year, but also in the next fiscal year.  The Company is
continuing to monitor the renewal of its newer UNIX products to determine if
the renewal of these products will follow the model of its more mature product
lines.  

Other revenue for both the nine-month period and the third quarter was
essentially even with the comparable periods of the prior fiscal year. 
Usually, consulting revenue is earned at a comparable level from quarter to
quarter as the Company does not seek to expand this business beyond the
immediate requirements of its customers.  The level of third party development
contract revenue continues at a minimum maintenance level and is not expected
to vary significantly over the next few quarters.
                                           
Aggregate costs and expenses for the third quarter and the nine-month period
increased 16% and 20% over the comparable periods of the prior year.  Sales
and marketing expenses were higher for both periods as a result of increased
marketing activity relating to the Company's new products, especially
introductory marketing expenses for the UNIX products, and the higher level of
commissionable revenue.  The level of growth in sales and marketing expenses
moderated in the third quarter as some advertising programs were completed. 
Product development and maintenance expenses increased approximately 18% for
the first nine months of the current fiscal year primarily as a result of an
increased investment in the development of both new products for distributed
systems and continued investment in the Company's mainframe products and the
continued porting of the Company's UNIX based products to additional UNIX
platforms.




FORM 10-Q


Gross margin, defined by the Company as net revenue less product development
and maintenance expenses, decreased slightly to 68% or $19,533,000 for the
nine-month period of the current fiscal year from 69% or $16,876,000 for the
comparable period of the prior fiscal year.  The gross margins for the first
two quarters of the prior fiscal year were down primarily because of the UNIX
product development costs that were incurred prior to the product's release.
The gross margin for the third quarter of both fiscal years was 68%.  Research
and development costs were $3,910,000 for the first nine months of the current
fiscal year versus $3,006,000 for the comparable period of the prior fiscal
year.  For the third quarter, research and development costs were $1,585,000
for the current year versus $1,317,000 for the prior year. 

Interest income improved in both periods as a result of an increase in both
interest rates and in the amount of funds invested.  The Company does not
enter into any forward exchange contracts. 


Net income grew approximately 8% for the first nine months and 10% for the
third quarter.  Earnings per share grew 8% for the nine-month period and 9%
for the third quarter.  The effective tax rate increased slightly to 35% in
the current fiscal year from 33% last fiscal year. 


Material Changes in Financial Condition/Liquidity


Cash and marketable securities increased $1,800,000 primarily as a result of
the collections of fiscal year 1995 fourth quarter sales and current year
earnings.  The decrease in accounts receivable from January 31 is primarily
due to the collection of outstanding accounts and the lower sales levels in
the first and second quarters of the current fiscal year versus the normal
increased sales activity during the fourth quarter.


The Company entered into an agreement to purchase land and a building for its
future headquarters.  The agreement calls for the Company to complete the
purchase by the end of the current calendar year.  The purchase and cost of
remodelling will require the outlay of approximately $8.7 million over the
next twelve months.  The lease for the Company's current headquarters expires
on January 31, 1997.  The Company does not expect that this purchase will have
an impact on its dividend policy.  For additional information relative to the
Company's purchase of the property, reference is made to the Company's Form
8-K filed with the Commission on November 17, 1995.

The Company's cash resources are considered sufficient to finance the
Company's growth in the foreseeable future.
