               NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


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.  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,
an officer and director of the Company.  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
enterprise network software.  AM:PM (registered trademark), the Company's
leading product, provides distributed resource management across
heterogeneous networks, accomplishing such tasks as software and data
distribution, data collection, asset management and remote resource
management.  AM:PM is available for MVS, UNIX, NetWare, Windows NT, Windows
95, DOS and Macintosh platforms.

     The Company recently announced its new Asset Insight (trademark)
product, the first business management tool for information technology
executives.  Tangram will focus sales efforts for Asset Insight through
indirect channels using major resellers.  Initially, Tangram will offer Asset
Insight through CompuCom Systems, Inc.  CompuCom is 50% owned by Safeguard
Scientifics, Inc. and Tangram is 72% owned by Safeguard.  Asset Insight is
currently undergoing beta testing and will be available for general delivery
later in the second quarter.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Total revenues declined for the first quarter of 1996 due to delays in
closing AM:PM and associated consulting services contracts which resulted
from the reallocation of resources to fill the additional demands of
preparing for the introduction and release of the Asset Insight product.  In
addition, some customers have deferred orders for AM:PM until the Asset
Insight product is available.  Lower sales of the gateway product line
resulting from the overall decline in the gateway market also contributed to
the decrease in revenues in this quarter.

     Selling and marketing expenses for 1996 increased to 62% of revenue
compared to 50% for the same period in 1995.  The increase reflects the
additional staff and expenditures incurred to support the Company's new Asset
Insight product including the initiation of a channel marketing program and
strategic partnership efforts.  The Company expects the percentage of selling
and marketing expenses to decline as a percentage of revenue as the new
product revenues increase.

     The Company's development activities are currently focused primarily on
the Asset Insight product.  In addition, the Company continues to enhance
existing technologies in its distributed resource management product line
with elimination of development expenses on non-strategic products.

     Development activity is summarized in the table below:

</TABLE>

     General and administrative expenses for 1996 decreased 11% from the same
period in 1995.  The decline reflects the Company's continuing efforts to
leverage existing infrastructure while investing in selling and marketing
expenses.

     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 historically has been adequate to fund
the Company's development and finance activities.  However, the Company
believes that its existing cash resources, together with cash provided by
operations, will not be adequate to meet its cash requirements through 1996
due to the additional expenditures required for the introduction and
launching of the Asset Insight product.  Safeguard Scientifics, Inc. has
committed to provide the Company with a $1 million line of credit to fund
cash requirements which the Company believes will be adequate to meet its
1996 cash requirements.
