PART I.      FINANCIAL INFORMATION


Item 1. Financial Statements.

The  financial statements set forth below for the three
and  six month periods ended October 31, 1997 and  1996
are  unaudited, and have been prepared pursuant to  the
rules  and  regulations of the Securities and  Exchange
Commission.   Certain information and note  disclosures
normally   included  in  annual  financial   statements
prepared   in   accordance  with   generally   accepted
accounting  principles have been condensed  or  omitted
pursuant  to  those  rules and regulations.  INTERSOLV,
Inc. believes that the disclosures made are adequate to
make  the  information presented not  misleading.   The
results  for  the  three and six  month  periods  ended
October 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of  the
results for the fiscal year.

In   the   opinion  of  management,  the   accompanying
condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all
necessary  adjustments that are necessary  for  a  fair
presentation of results for the periods presented.   It
is suggested that these financial statements be read in
conjunction   with  the  latest  audited   consolidated
financial statements and the notes thereto (included in
the  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for  the  fiscal  year
ended April 30, 1997).

statements,  as filed with the Securities and  Exchange
Commission on Form 10-K, for the year ended  April  30,
1997.

Operations

and  support of computer software products and services
in  three  major  solution areas:   automated  software
quality, data connectivity and Year 2000 renewal.

Revenues from North America and International were  72%
and 28%, respectively, for the three months ended October
31, 1997 as compared to 67% and 33%, respectively for the
same period last year.  For the six months ended October
31, 1997, revenues from North America and International
were 73% and 27% compared to 67% and 33% for the same
period last year.
Revenues

The  Company's product and service offerings are  focused
in  three key solution areas:  Automated Software Quality
(or "ASQ", which   includes   the   PVCS  products   for
Software Configuration  Management and QualityWorks  
products  for Automated  Software  Testing), Data  
Connectivity  (which includes  DataDirect  products for
data  middleware)  and Year  2000 Renewal.  Total revenues
for the three  months ended  October  31, 1997 increased
27% to $47.8  million, compared to $37.7 million for the
same period last  year. Revenues from the three key 
solution areas totaled  $43.5 million,  which  is a 43% 
increase from the  same  period last  year.  On a year to
date basis, total revenues grew 27% to $89.1 million while 
key area revenues grew 43%  to $88.3 million.

ASQ revenues grew 39% and 35% in the respective three and
six  month periods due to the continued growth of the
PVCS  line  and  to  the introduction  of  the new
QualityWorks line.  DataDirect revenues grew 2% and  3%,
in  the  second  quarter  and first  half,  respectively,
primarily  due to increases in North America  which  were
partially offset by declines of sales in Japan.   Revenue
from Year 2000 Renewal services, which was negligible  in
the  prior  year, grew to $5.9 million and $11.7 million 
for the three and six months ended October 31, 1997, 
respectively.  Other  revenues, which   consist   of   
non-strategic   and   discontinued businesses,  comprised
9% of total revenue  but  declined 38% from the prior 
year's quarter.  Growth in the ASQ and DataDirect  product
lines was due to  increases  in  new license sales and 
increased demand for services.   Growth in the Year 2000
Renewal area was due to increased demand for such services.

On  a  geographical basis, the Company had revenue growth
in  both  North  America and Europe,  while  Asia/Pacific
experienced  a  decline.   Changes  in  foreign  currency
exchange rates between periods resulted in a net decrease
in  revenue of $0.8 million and $1.2 million in the three
and six month periods respectively.

Cost of Products

Cost   of  products  includes  cost  of  software  media,
freight,   royalties  and  amortization  of   capitalized
software   development  costs  and  purchased  technology
costs,   with  amortization  expense  being  the  largest
component.  Cost of products for the three and six months
ended  October  31, 1997 decreased 63% and  67%  to  $1.4
million  and $2.6 million, respectively.  In  the  fourth
quarter   of   fiscal  1997,  the  Company   wrote   down
approximately $19.1 million of capitalized and  purchased
software.    As   a   result,  the  level   of   software
amortization dropped significantly in the three  and  six
month  periods ended October 31, 1997, when  compared  to
the prior year.

Cost of Services

Cost  of services includes personnel and related indirect
costs   incurred  to  provide  consulting  and   training
services, as well as telephone support to customers under
maintenance contracts.  Cost of services increased to 85%
and  80%  for the three and six months ended October  31,
1997  to  $14.3  million and $26.7 million, respectively.
Costs have increased to support the demand for Year  2000
renewal  services as well as consulting services for  the
other  products.  The cost increases relate primarily  to
personnel growth needed to perform the services.

Sales and Marketing

Sales  and marketing expenses for the three months  ended
October  31,  1997  were unchanged at a  level  of  $17.8
million.  These expenses grew 5% to $26.7 million for the
year  to  date period.  The Company was able to  increase
its investments in field sales, telesales and third party
selling  channels,  as  well as expanding  its  marketing
capabilities during the six months ended October 31, 1997.
Much of this increase was offset by reductions of sales 
and marketing  expenses  formerly expended on discontinued 
products.

Research and Development

Research   and   development  ("R&D")  expenses   include
personnel and related overhead costs incurred to  develop
the  Company's  products,  less  amounts  capitalized  in
accordance  with  FAS  86.  Amortization  of  capitalized
software  is included in cost of products.  R&D  expenses
were $5.7 million in the second quarter ended October 31,
1997,  which is 59% more than last year's level  of  $3.6
million.  R&D expenses grew 84% to $12.3 million for  the
six  month period.  The increase in R&D expenses  is  the
result  of  lower  capitalization of software  costs,  as
fewer products met the Company's capitalization policy.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses were $3.2 million and
$6.0  million  in the second quarter and  first  half  of
fiscal  1998, respectively.  G&A expenses grew 8% and  6%
in  the  three and six month periods, respectively,  when
compared to the prior year period.

Non-recurring Charges

During  the  quarter ended October 31, 1997, the  company
incurred   a  $176,000  charge  related  to  discontinued
products.   This  non-recurring  item  included  a   $1.5
million  charge  to  close  the Allegris  component-based
product  development area.  This loss was offset somewhat
by  the  gain  realized on the sale of other discontinued
products.

Operating Income

The Company reported operating income of $5.3 million and
$6.3  million for the three and six months ended  October
31,  1997,  as  compared to an operating profit  of  $2.1
million  and $2.0 million for the respective  prior  year
periods.

Other Income (Expense), net

Other  income  (expense), which is  primarily  investment
income  net of interest expense, decreased when  compared
to  the same period last year as the Company utilized its
working capital facility.

Income Taxes

The Company's tax rate for the three and six months ended
October  31,  1997  was  35%, based  upon  the  Company's
assessment of the realizability of existing deferred  tax
assets, which include tax credits and net operating  loss
carryforwards.

Financial Condition - Liquidity and Capital Resources

During  the six months ended October 31, 1997, operations
used  $6.6 million of cash, due primarily to an  increase
in accounts receivable.  Financing activities provided  a
net  $11.1  million, with $5.0 million derived  from  the
sale of stock through stock option exercises and employee
stock   purchase  programs  and  $6.1  million   of   net
borrowings  from  existing credit facilities.   Investing
activities  used $5.2 million as the Company  invested  a
net  $3.2  million  in  fixed assets;  the  Company  also
accepted  a long term receivable in connection  with  the
sale  of  a non-strategic business in the amount of  $2.0
million.   Overall cash and cash equivalents  were  $19.7
million  at October 31, 1997, which is down $0.5  million
from $20.2 million at the beginning of the fiscal year.

The  Company has a bank line of credit arrangement  which
allows short-term borrowings of up to $15 million.  As of
October  31,  1997,  $12.0 million was outstanding  under
this  line  of  credit.  Management  believes  that  cash
generated  from  operations, cash on hand  and  available
borrowings  are sufficient to meet the Company's  capital
requirements for the foreseeable future.
