NOTE 1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements were prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. The Summary of Accounting
Policies and Notes to Financial Statements included in the 1995 Form 10-K
should be read in conjunction with the accompanying statements. These
statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
accruals) which the Company believes are necessary for a fair presentation
of the statements. The interim operating results are not necessarily
indicative of the results for a full year.


NOTE 2.  NOTE PAYABLE TO RELATED PARTY

     In order to provide a source of funds to assist the launching of the
new Asset Insight product, Safeguard Scientifics, Inc.("Safeguard"), a 71%
shareholder of the Company, has agreed to provide a $1 million line of
credit to the Company at prime rate plus 1%.  During the quarter ending
September 30, 1996, the $450,000 outstanding balance under the note at
June 30, 1996 was fully repaid.  Under the terms of the line of credit, any
amounts outstanding are due thirteen months after the date of demand.


NOTE 3.   SALE OF LAN DIVISION

     In March, 1996, the Company sold the assets and liabilities of the LAN
division, acquired from Knozall Systems, Inc. in 1994, to its former owner,
who was an officer and director of the Company until the date of sale.  In
exchange for the cancellation of $850,000 of the $1 million note issued in
connection with the acquisition of Knozall, the Company transferred all of
the net assets of the LAN division, made a cash payment of $213,000 at the
date of sale and issued a $300,000 note due in 24 equal installments.  The
buyer elected to convert the remaining $150,000 of the $1 million note into
shares of Tangram common stock.  In addition, the Company retained rights
to certain technology developed in the LAN division since August 1, 1994.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
        AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

     Tangram Enterprise Solutions, Inc.(the Company) develops and markets
asset tracking and electronic software distribution solutions, including
Asset Insight(TM) and AM:PM(R).  Asset Insight, a new business management
solution for information technology (IT) executives, provides: 1)
automatic identification of hardware and software assets currently
installed throughout the enterprise, 2) information on historical trends
of IT assets, and 3) concise, one-page analyses that transforms raw data
into useful information for management decisions.  The Company made the
first sale of its new Asset Insight product late in June, 1996.  With Asset
Insight, Tangram has also launched a new indirect channel program, and
intially, Asset Insight is offered through CompuCom Systems, Inc.
Relationships with additional resellers are being developed.  Safeguard
owns 50% of CompuCom and 71% of Tangram.

     Previously, the Company's main product line was AM:PM which provides
distributed resource management across heterogeneous networks.  AM:PM is
available for MVS, UNIX, NetWare, Windows NT, Windows 95, DOS and Macintosh
platforms.  AM:PM accomplishes such tasks as software and data distribution,
data collection, asset management and remote resource management.
Beginning in the first quarter of 1996, the Company began to redirect
resources previously allocated to AM:PM in order to fill the additional
demands of preparing for the introduction and release of the Asset Insight
product.  As a result, sales of AM:PM have decreased in 1996 as compared to
the prior year and this trend is expected to continue in the future.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 declined by 30%
from same period in 1995 because sales of Asset Insight have not yet replaced
the decrease in the traditional AM:PM revenue stream.

     Selling and marketing expenses for the quarter ended September 30,
1996 decreased 29% from the same period in 1995 due to elimination of the
expenses related to the LAN division which was sold in March, 1996 as well
as lower sales commissions resulting from lower revenue.  Selling and
marketing expenses as a percentage of sales in the third quarter of 1996
vs. 1995 remained constant at approximately 55%.  As the Company begins to
heavily promote Asset Insight, selling and marketing expenses are expected
to increase.

<PAGE>

     The Company is focusing development activities primarily on the Asset
Insight product while continuing to enhance existing technologies in its
distributed resource management (AM:PM) product line.  Development activity
is summarized in the table below:

</TABLE>

     General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended September
30, 1996 remained relatively stable compared to the same period in 1995.
However, it is anticipated that expenses will increase in the future in
order to provide additional infrastructure to support the Asset Insight
product rollout.

     At December 31, 1995 the Company had net operating loss carryforwards
of approximately $25.9 million.  The net operating loss carryforwards
expire in various amounts from 1998 through 2010.


LIQUIDITY

     Cash generated from operations has been adequate to fund the Company's
development and finance activities.  In the past, the Company has generated
cash from operating activities despite its net losses due to the signifi-
cant levels of depreciation and amortization.  Cash requirements have
increased in 1996 due to the additional expenditures required for the
introduction and launching of the Asset Insight product.  As stated in Note
2 above, Safeguard Scientifics, Inc. has agreed to assist the Company's
launching of the Asset Insight product by providing a $1 million line of
credit to fund cash requirements.  However, the Company believes that the
line of credit may not be adequate to meet the new product rollout cash
requirements in the near future.  As a result, the Company is pursuing
other sources of funds including, but not limited to, debt or equity
financing.
