Item 1.  Financial Statements (continued)

     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  Basis of Presentation:  The consolidated condensed balance sheet 
as of March 31, 1996 and the consolidated condensed statements of 
operations for the three months and six months ended March 31, 1996 
and 1995, and the consolidated condensed statements of cash flows 
for the six months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 are unaudited. In 
the opinion of management these statements include all adjustments 
necessary for the fair presentation of the financial data for such 
periods.  The results of operations for the interim periods are not 
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full 
year.

2.  Inventories:  The Company accounts for its inventories using a 
standard cost methodology. Inventories were comprised of the 
following: 

                               March 31,      September 30,  
                                 1996             1995      

     Raw materials            $ 209,913       $ 198,917
     Work in process             15,767           2,974
     Finished goods              90,084          60,637
                              ---------       ---------
     TOTAL                    $ 315,764       $ 262,528

3.  Business Combinations:  On March 12, 1996, the Company acquired 
all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of WorkGroup Systems 
Limited ("WorkGroup") in exchange for an aggregate of 1,437,000 
shares of the Company's Common Stock, $.01 par value per share.  The 
acquisition has been accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. As a result of
the pooling-of-interests, WorkGroup changed its fiscal 
year end from December 31 to September 30 effective with the fiscal 
year beginning October 1, 1994.  Operating results of WorkGroup for 
the three months ended December 31, 1994 were included in the 
results of operations for both the fiscal year ended September 30, 
1994 and the six months ended March 31, 1995.  Accordingly, 
accumulated deficit was decreased by $194,093 to account for its 
inclusion in both periods. Revenues and net losses for WorkGroup for 
the period from October 1, 1995 through March 12, 1996 were 
approximately $3,700,000 and $66,000 respectively.  As of March 31, 
1996, WorkGroup had an overdraft facility in place which allowed it 
to draw up to approximately $150,000, which was fully utilized at 
that time.



Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition 
        and Results of Operations

GENERAL

DATAWATCH CORPORATION (the "Company" or "DATAWATCH"), is engaged 
in the design, development, manufacture, marketing and support of 
personal computer software.

On October 13, 1995, the Company acquired all of the outstanding 
shares of the capital stock of Pole Position Software GmbH ("Pole 
Position") in exchange for 300,000 shares of the Company's common 
stock.  On March 12, 1996, the Company acquired all of the 
outstanding capital stock of WorkGroup Systems Limited 
("WorkGroup"), a United Kingdom based provider of help-desk and 
asset management software, in exchange for 1,437,000 shares of the 
Company's common stock. Both acquisitions have been accounted for 
as pooling of interests.  As a result, DATAWATCH's operating 
results have been adjusted to include both WorkGroup's and Pole 
Position's operating results for both the three and six month 
periods ending March 31, 1995 and 1996, as discussed herein.

DATAWATCH's principal products are:  Monarch (trademark) for Windows, which 
provides data access, translation, and reporting capability to
users of networked PCs; VIREX (trademark) and VIREX for the PC, which 
detect, repair and monitor for virus infections for both the Apple 
Macintosh and IBM compatible PCs, respectively;  Quetzal
(internationally) or Q-Support (trademark) for Windows (in the United

From time to time, information provided by the Company, statements 
made by its employees or information in its filings with the 
Securities and Exchange Commission (including statements in this 
Form 10-Q) may contain statements which are not historical facts, 
so called "forward-looking statements", and are made pursuant to 
the safe harbor provision of the Private Securities Litigation 
Reform Act of 1995 and releases of the Securities and Exchange 
Commission.  In that regard, the discussion in this Item 2 
contains forward looking statements which involve certain risks 
and uncertainties, including statements related to liquidity and 
capital resources.  The Company's operating results may continue 
to vary significantly from quarter to quarter or from year to year 
depending on a number of factors, including technological changes, 
competition and general market trends.  The Company's current 
planned expense levels are based in part upon expectations as to 
future revenue.  Consequently, operating results may vary 
significantly from quarter to quarter or year to year based on 
timing of revenue.  Revenue or net income in any period will not 
necessarily be indicative of results of subsequent periods and 
there can be no assurance that the Company will maintain 
profitability or that revenue growth can be sustained in the 
future. 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1996 were 
$7,532,000, which represents an increase of $1,823,000 or 32% from 
the net sales of $5,709,000 for the three months ended March 31, 
1995.  This increase in sales results from growth in all of 
DATAWATCH's products.  Monarch, which amounted to approximately 
41% of sales, increased by 27%; Quetzal and Q-Support, which 
amounted to approximately 39% of sales, increased by 58%; Virex, 
which amounted to approximately 15% of sales, increased by 4%; and 
netOctopus, which amounted to approximately 3% of sales, increased 
by 391%.  For the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Company's 
products for the IBM compatible PC accounted for approximately 81% 
of sales while the Company's products for the Apple PC accounted 
for approximately 19%.

The Company's cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 
1996 was $1,080,000 or approximately 14% of net sales.  Cost of 
sales for the three months ended March 31, 1995 was $868,000 or 
approximately 15% of net sales.  This decrease as a percentage of 
net sales is principally due to higher sales volumes which allow 
for increased absorption of overheads.

Engineering and product development expenses were $553,000 for the 
three months ended March 31, 1996, compared to $555,000 for the 
three months ended March 31, 1995.  These expenses remained 
reasonably level when comparing the three months ended March 31, 
1996 to the same period a year earlier.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $5,850,000 for 
the three months ended March 31, 1996.  Included in these expenses
 were non-recurring expenses associated with the acquisition of 
WorkGroup amounting to approximately $450,000.  Excluding the non-
recurring expenses, selling, general and administrative expenses 
increased by $1,172,000 or approximately 28% from the $4,228,000 
for the three months ended March 31, 1995.  This increase is 
primarily attributable to increases in personnel within the sales 
and marketing organizations principally for Quetzal and Q-Support 
and to increases in promotional costs, principally for Monarch.

As a result of the foregoing, the net income for the three months 
ended March 31, 1996 was $38,000, a decrease of $19,000 when 
compared to the net income of $57,000 for the three months ended 
March 31, 1995.  The Company recorded only a de minimis tax 
provision for both domestic and international operations during 
the period because of its net operating loss carryforwards.

Six Months Ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.

Net sales for the six months ended March 31, 1996 were 
$14,297,000, which represents an increase of $3,531,000 or 33% 
from the net sales of $10,766,000 for the six months ended March 
31, 1995.  This increase in sales results from growth in all of 
DATAWATCH's products.  Monarch, which amounted to approximately 
41% of sales, increased by 22%; Quetzal and Q-Support, which 
amounted to approximately 39% of sales, increased by 61%; Virex, 
which amounted to approximately 16% of sales, increased by 13%; 
and netOctopus, which amounted to approximately 3% of sales, 
increased by 305%.

The Company's cost of sales for the six months ended March 31, 
1996 was $2,155,000 or approximately 15% of net sales.  Cost of 
sales for the six months ended March 31, 1995 was $1,795,000 or 
approximately 17% of net sales. This decrease as a percentage of 
net sales is principally due to higher sales volumes which allow 
for increased absorption of overheads.

Engineering and product development expenses were $1,072,000 for 
the six months ended March 31, 1996, compared to $1,083,000 for 
the six months ended March 31, 1995.  The expenses remained 
reasonably level when comparing the six months ended March 31, 
1996 to the same period a year earlier.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $10,966,000 for 
the six months ended March 31, 1996.  Included in these expenses 
were non-recurring expenses associated with the acquisition of 
WorkGroup amounting to approximately $450,000.  Excluding the non-
recurring expenses, selling, general and administrative expenses 
increased by $2,556,000 or approximately 32% from the $7,960,000 
for the six months ended March 31, 1995.  This increase is 
primarily attributable to increases in personnel within the sales 
and marketing organizations principally for Quetzal and Q-Support 
and to increases in promotional costs, principally for Monarch.

As a result of the foregoing, the net income for the six months 
ended March 31, 1996 was $103,000, an increase of $169,000 when 
compared to the net loss of $66,000 for the six months ended March 
31, 1995.  The Company recorded only a de minimis tax provision 
for both domestic and international operations during the period 
because of its net operating loss carryforwards.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's management believes that its currently anticipated 
capital needs for future operations of the Company will be
 satisfied through at least the end of fiscal 1996 by funds 
currently available and its unused $1,500,000 bank line of credit. 
 WorkGroup has an overdraft facility in place which allowed it to 
draw up to approximately $150,000.  As of March 31, 1996 the 
facility was fully utilized, however the facility was increased to 
approximately $500,000 subsequent to March 31, 1996.  The Company 
currently has warrants outstanding to purchase approximately 
170,000 shares of common stock for a price of $7.50 per share.  
These warrants expire on May 28, 1996.  If Datawatch's common 
stock price is in excess of $7.50 at or prior to the expiration 
date, the Company expects that some of the holders may choose to 
exercise the warrant thus providing the Company with additional 
working capital.  As of May 13, 1996 the closing price on the 
Nasdaq National Market was $9.50 per share.  For the six months 
ended March 31, 1996, working capital increased by approximately 
$301,000.  Management believes that the Company's current 
operations are not materially impacted by the effects of 
inflation.

                     COMPUTATION OF NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

Computation of weighted average number of shares outstanding used in
determining income (loss) per share was as follows:

                                      Three Months Ended      Six Months Ended

NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE:

   Primary                        $     .00  $     .01    $     .01  $   (.01)
   Fully-diluted                  $     .00  $     .01    $     .01  $   (.01)


(a)  Common stock equivalent shares were excluded from the calculation for the
six months ended March 31, 1995 due to the antidulitive effect the inclusion 
of such shares would have had on loss per share.
