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

Operating revenues for both the second quarter the first six months of fiscal 
year 1997 increased 17% over the comparable periods of the prior year.  A 
combination of the increased sales of the Company s newer UNIX products and 
growth from the Company's German and French operations pushed license fee 
growth to 26% for the six month period and 23% for the second quarter.  Sales of
the Company's Datacenter and Visualizer products continued at levels similar to
the prior year's.  Additionally, the Company entered into several agreements 
which call for the delivery of products in the third and fourth quarters of the
current fiscal year, resulting in a backlog of approximately $1,270,000.  

Maintenance fee revenue grew increased 5% for the six-month period and 4% for 
the second quarter.  As expected, maintenance renewals of the Company's older 
product lines such as VM, SNA and Crystal are declining at a faster pace than in
the past as our customers replace their older technology with new systems.  The
benefits of an improved domestic operations maintenance renewal rate and 
maintenance renewals of the Company's newer products will not have a positive 
impact on maintenance revenue for several quarters.  

Other revenue for the six-month period increased 36% and increased 65% for the 
second quarter.  Consulting revenue, which is usually earned at a comparable 
level from quarter to quarter, increased as more of the Company's customers 
required additional services.  Revenue from third party development contracts 
was at a minimum maintenance level and did not vary significantly from the 
levels of either period last year.

Aggregate costs and expenses for both the second quarter and the six-month 
period increased approximately 18%.  Sales and marketing expenses were higher 
for both periods as a result of increased marketing activity relating to the 
Company's newer UNIX and Network products and the higher level of commissionable
revenue.  This trend should continue for the foreseeable future.

The increased cost of software reflects the continuation of the increased 
investment in both people and equipment required for the Company to develop 
products for distributed systems.  The Company currently markets and supports 21
versions of UNIX products and has recently released several different products 
for computer networks and Windows NT.  The Company expects that this trend will
continue as more companies enter the market and drive up the cost of the 
resources needed to develop products in this area, especially the cost of labor.
Maintenance and support costs also increased in the current fiscal year 
primarily for the same reason as software costs and are expected to follow a 
trend line similar to that of software costs.  Margins for both license fee 
revenue and maintenance revenue will be slightly lower than in the past until 
revenue growth catches up with the increased costs of both product 
development and product support.  Research and development costs declined in the
current fiscal year as more products were released to production and less work 
could be characterized as pure research.    




                                                                           8
FORM 10-Q



The growth in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to normal
inflation and is expected to continue to grow slowly for the near term.  The 
cost of consulting and other revenue increased in as a result of the 
temporary allocation of additional resources for providing the revenue related 
services.   

Interest income declined for both periods as funds that were invested in the 
prior year's first several quarters was used to purchase a building that will 
serve as the Company's new headquarters.  Other income improved primarily as a 
result of rental income, from tenants currently occupying a portion of the 
aforementioned building, and currency transaction exchange gains incurred in the
normal course of business. The Company does not enter into any forward exchange
contracts. 


Net income grew approximately 13% over  last year's first six months and 15% 
over last year's second quarter.  The effective tax rate was approximately 34% 
for both years. 


Material Changes in Financial Condition/Liquidity


Cash and marketable securities increased $2,133,000 primarily as a result of the
collections of fiscal year 1996 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's cash resources are considered sufficient to finance the Company's
growth in the foreseeable future.

Accounts payable and accrued expenses declined primarily as a result of a 
lower level of spending in the second quarter as compared to the fourth 
quarter and earlier payment of vendors invoices at the end of the second 
quarter.  Accrued compensation declined as a result of the payment of 
year-end bonuses in the first quarter of the current fiscal year.  Deferred 
revenue declined as revenue from maintenance contracts pre-billed last year 
was partially recognized during the first two quarters of the current fiscal
year.  


Trends and Uncertainties


The Company has several new product offerings available for release in the third
quarter of the current fiscal year.  These products continue the Company's push
into markets not currently served by the Company's product lines.  The 
long-term success of these products is contingent upon these products being 
accepted by customers who normally do not purchase the Company's products.

The 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.
