     NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.   Basis of Presentation:  The consolidated condensed balance sheet
as  of  June  30, 1997 and the consolidated condensed  statements  of
operations for the three months and nine months ended June  30,  1997
and 1996, and the consolidated condensed statements of cash flows for
the  nine months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 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.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction  with
the  Company's  audited  financial  statements  for  the  year  ended
September 30, 1996 which appear in the Company's Form 10-K.

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

                           June 30,      September 30,
                             1997             1996

  Raw materials            $ 343,524       $ 218,615
  Work in process              2,639           2,458
  Finished goods             511,814         259,685
                           ---------       ---------
  TOTAL                    $ 857,977       $ 480,758


3.    Acquisitions: On November 7, 1996, the Company acquired all  of
the   outstanding   capital  stock  of  Guildsoft  Holdings   Limited
("Guildsoft"),  a  United  Kingdom  based  software  distributor,  in
exchange  for an aggregate of 125,000 shares of the Company's  common
stock,  with  12,500  of  such shares held in escrow  for  contingent
liabilities.  The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and  as
such,  the  $933,532 difference between the fair value of the  assets
acquired and the consideration was recorded as goodwill.

On November 21, 1996 and in connection with the settlement of certain
contingent  liabilities of WorkGroup Systems Limited, a wholly  owned
subsidiary of the Company ("WorkGroup"), the company redeemed  32,052
shares  of  its common stock that were previously held in  escrow  in
connection with the Company's acquisition of WorkGroup in March 1996.
Accordingly, $140,388 was recorded as treasury stock.

4.    Long-term  Debt:   During  the quarter  ended  March  31,  1997
DATAWATCH  paid down its overdraft facilities with a $1,500,000  term
loan  which calls for monthly principal payments beginning  in  March
1998  and  ending in February 2001. This term loan bears interest  at
1.5% above the prime rate, is collateralized by certain assets of the
Company, and has priority over all debt incurred.

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

GENERAL

       On   November  7,  1996,  the  Company  acquired  all  the
outstanding shares of capital stock of Guildsoft Holdings Limited
("Guildsoft"),  located  in  Plymouth,  England,  which  provides
software  companies  with multi-lingual  telesales,  support  and
fulfillment  services throughout Europe, in exchange for  125,000
shares  of DATAWATCH common stock. This acquisition was accounted
for  as  a purchase.  Guildsoft's results of operations  for  the
period  from the date of acquisition through June 30,  1997  have
been  included  in  the  Company's  consolidated  statements   of
operations and statements of cash flows.

       DATAWATCH's  principal  products  are:  Monarch(TM), which 
provides data access, translation, and  reporting  capability  to 
users  of  networked  PCs; VIREX(R) and VET(TM) for the PC, which
detect,  repair  and  monitor  for  virus  infections  for  Apple
Macintosh and IBM compatible PCs, respectively; Q-Support(TM) for 
Windows(in the United States), or Quetzal(TM)(internationally), a
complete help desk and asset management system; and netOctopus(TM),
a network management and administration system.

     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 year to year depending on a number  of
factors, including technological changes, competition and general
market  trends, and the other factors identified in the Company's
Securities  and  Exchange Commission filings (including  but  not
limited to its Form 10-K for the year ended September 30,  1996).
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 June 30, 1997 and 1996.

Net  sales  for  the  three  months  ended  June  30,  1997  were
$7,608,000, which represents a decrease of $419,000  or  5%  from
the  net sales of $8,027,000 for the three months ended June  30,
1996.   This  decrease results from a decrease  in  international
sales  of DATAWATCH's Quetzal product. Overall, Monarch accounted
for approximately 41% of sales, while Quetzal/Q-Support accounted
for approximately 29%.  For the three months ended June 30, 1997,
the  Company's  products for the IBM compatible PC accounted  for
approximately 78% of sales while the Company's products  for  the
Apple PC accounted for approximately 22%.

The  Company's cost of sales for the three months ended June  30,
1997  was $1,488,000 or approximately 20% of net sales.  Cost  of
sales for the three months ended June 30, 1996 was $1,292,000  or
approximately 16% of net sales.  The increase in cost  of  sales,
as  a  percentage  of net sales, results from  the  inclusion  of
Guildsoft's product sales which bear lower gross margins than the
Company's other products. Cost of sales, as a percentage  of  net
sales,  for the June 30, 1997 period, excluding Guildsoft,  would
have  been  17%, which is higher, as a percentage of  net  sales,
than  the  comparable prior year period due to a lower  level  of
sales on which to amortize order fulfillment overheads.

Engineering  and product development expenses were  $790,000  for
the three months ended June 30, 1997, an increase of $145,000  or
approximately 22% from $645,000 for the three months  ended  June
30,  1996.   Included in the expenses for the three months  ended
June  30,  1997 were approximately $80,000 of expenses associated
with   organizational  changes.   Excluding   those   costs   the
engineering and product development expenses for the three months
ended  June  30,  1997  increased by  $65,000  or  10%  from  the
comparable period in the prior year.  This increase is  primarily
attributable to additions in personnel and expenses necessary for
continued  development  of  the  Q-Support  product  and  quality
assurance for the Monarch product.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $6,737,000  for
the  three  months ended June 30, 1997, an increase of $1,358,000
from  $5,379,000  for  the  three months  ended  June  30,  1996.
Included in the expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1997
were  $531,000 of expenses associated with organizational changes
within   the  Company's  wholly-owned  international  subsidiary,
WorkGroup  Systems  Limited ("WorkGroup"), which  is  principally
responsible  for  the  Company's  Quetzal  product  line.    Also
included  were  approximately  $77,000  of  expenses  related  to
marketing programs which have been discontinued. Excluding  these
expenses  the  increase would have been $750,000 or approximately
14%.   This  increase is primarily attributable to  increases  in
personnel   within   the   sales  and   marketing   organizations
principally  for  Q-Support and Monarch,  and  the  inclusion  of
Guildsoft's operating expenses for the period which accounted for
approximately 33% of the increase.

<PAGE>

As  a  result of the foregoing, the loss from operations for  the
three  months ended June 30, 1997 was $1,408,000, which  compares
to  income from operations of $711,000 for the three months ended
June  30, 1996. The net loss for the three months ended June  30,
1997 was $1,437,000 which compares to net income of $681,000  for
the three months ended June 30, 1996.  The net loss for the three
months  ended  June  30,  1997 was  larger  than  the  loss  from
operations  for  the  same  period principally  due  to  interest
expenses  incurred  during  the  period.   The  Company  in  1996
recorded  only  a  minimal tax provision due to  its  ability  to
utilize  net  operating  loss carryforwards.   In  1997,  from  a
domestic perspective, no tax benefits will be realized because of
the net losses.


Nine Months Ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.

Net   sales  for  the  nine  months  ended  June  30,  1997  were
$24,024,000,  which represents an increase of  $1,700,000  or  8%
from  the net sales of $22,324,000 for the nine months ended June
30,  1996.   This  increase  results  from  growth  in  sales  of
DATAWATCH's   Monarch  and Virex products and  the  inclusion  of
$1,444,000   of  sales  from  Guildsoft.  Monarch   amounted   to
approximately  40% of sales; Q-Support amounted to  approximately
34%  of  sales.   For the nine months ended June  30,  1997,  the
Company's  products  for  the  IBM compatible  PC  accounted  for
approximately 82% of sales while the Company's products  for  the
Apple PC accounted for approximately 18%.

The  Company's cost of sales for the nine months ended  June  30,
1997  was $4,403,000 or approximately 18% of net sales.  Cost  of
sales  for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 was $3,447,000  or
approximately 15% of net sales.  The increase in cost  of  sales,
as  a  percentage  of net sales, results from  the  inclusion  of
Guildsoft's product sales which bear lower gross margins than the
Company's other products. Excluding Guildsoft, the Company's cost
of sales, as a percentage of net sales, for the nine months ended
June  30,  1997  would  have  been 16%,  which  is  substantially
consistent with the prior period.

Engineering and product development expenses were $2,105,000  for
the  nine months ended June 30, 1997, an increase of $388,000  or
approximately 23% from $1,717,000 for the nine months ended  June
30, 1996.  The increase (net of approximately $80,000 of expenses
associated with organizational changes) is primarily attributable
to  additions  in personnel and expenses necessary for  continued
development  of the Q-Support product and quality  assurance  for
the Monarch product.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $18,398,000 for
the  nine  months ended June 30, 1997, an increase of  $2,054,000
from  $16,344,000  for  the  nine months  ended  June  30,  1996.
Included in the expenses for the nine months ended June 30,  1997
were  $531,000 of expenses associated with organizational changes
within  WorkGroup.  Also included were approximately  $77,000  of
expenses   related  to  marketing  programs   which   have   been
discontinued. Included in the expenses for the nine months  ended
June  30,  1996  were  $450,000 of expenses associated  with  the

<PAGE>

acquisition of WorkGroup in March 1996.  Excluding these expenses
the   increase   in  expenses  would  have  been  $1,896,000   or
approximately  12%.  This increase is primarily  attributable  to
increases   in   personnel  within  the   sales   and   marketing
organizations  principally for Q-Support  and  Monarch,  and  the
inclusion of Guildsoft's operating expenses for the period  which
accounted for 25% of the increase.

As  a  result of the foregoing, the loss from operations for  the
nine  months ended June 30, 1997 was $882,000, which compares  to
the  income from operations of $816,000 for the nine months ended
June  30,  1996. The net loss for the nine months ended June  30,
1997  was $929,000, which compares to the net income for the nine
months  ended June 30, 1996 of $783,000.  The net loss  increases
and  the  net  income  decreases in both periods  is  principally
attributable  to interest expense. The Company in  1996  recorded
only  a  minimal tax provision due to its ability to utilize  net
operating   loss  carryforwards.   In  1997,  from   a   domestic
perspective, no tax benefits will be realized because of the  net
losses.


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  1997  by  funds
currently  available and by funds available through the Company's
$1,500,000  working capital line of credit (the "Working  Capital
Line") and the Company's $1,500,000 equipment line of credit (the
"Equipment  Line") with its bank pursuant to a  letter  agreement
with  the  bank.   As of June 30, 1997, the Company  was  not  in
compliance with two of the financial covenants contained  in  the
letter agreement with the bank.  The bank has waived any defaults
under the Working Capital Line and Equipment Line as a result  of
the  Company's  non-compliance with such financial  covenants  at
June  30,  1997.  Management believes that the Company's  current
operations  are  not  materially  impacted  by  the  effects   of
inflation.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In   October  1995,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board
("FASB")   issued  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standard
("SFAS")  No.  123,  "Accounting for  Stock-Based  Compensation",
which  is  effective for the Company's fiscal  year  1997.   This
standard    requires   expanded   disclosures   of    stock-based
compensation arrangements with employees and encourages (but does
not  require) compensation costs to be measured based on the fair
value  of stock options awarded.  The Company has evaluated  this
standard  and, as permitted under SFAS No. 123, has decided  that
it  will not adopt the fair value method and will continue to use
APB  No. 25 for the measurement and recognition of employee stock
based  transactions.  As a result, compliance with this  standard
during  fiscal  1997  will have no impact on the  Company's  1997
financial   statements,  other  than  the   required   additional
disclosure  of the proforma effect of SFAS No. 123 on net  income
and earnings per share.

<PAGE>

In  February  1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128,  "Earnings  per
Share"  which will become effective during the fourth quarter  of
fiscal  1998. SFAS No. 128 replaces the presentation  of  primary
earnings  per share with basic earnings per share, which excludes
dilution, and requires the dual presentation of basic and diluted
earnings per share.  The Company has evaluated this standard  and
does  not  expect the adoption to have a material effect  on  the
Company's earnings per share.

In   June   1997,  the  FASB  issued  SFAS  No.  130,  "Reporting
Comprehensive  Income",  and  SFAS No.  131,  "Disclosures  about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", both of which
will  be effective for the Company in fiscal 1998.  SFAS No.  130
establishes   standards  for  the  reporting   and   display   of
comprehensive  income  and  its components  (revenues,  expenses,
gains  and  losses)  in a full set of general  purpose  financial
statements.  SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for the way  that
public  business  enterprises report selected  information  about
operating segments in annual and interim financial reports.  SFAS
131  also  established  standards for related  disclosures  about
products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. The
implementation  of SFAS 130 and 131 are not expected  to  have  a
material effect on the Company's financial statements.
