                               ANSOFT CORPORATION
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) Basis of Presentation

         The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for
a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations have been
made. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
results which may be expected for a full year. The information included in this
Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the fiscal year
ended April 30, 1998 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Commission.

         The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The
estimates and assumptions used in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements are based on management's evaluation of the relevant facts and
circumstances as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual
results may differ from those estimates.

(2) Borrowings

         The Company has available a secured line of credit from a domestic
financial institution at an interest rate varying from a minimum of 2% below the
Broker Call Rate to a maximum equaling the Broker Call Rate. The line of credit
is secured by the marketable securities held with the institution. As of July
31, 1998, there was no outstanding balance on the line of credit.

(3)  Comprehensive income (loss)

On May 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"), which establishes
requirements for disclosure of comprehensive income. The objective of SFAS 130
is to report all changes in equity that result from transactions and economic
events other than transactions with owners. Comprehensive income is the total of
net income and all other non-owner changes in equity. Adoption of SFAS 130 did
not impact the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations
or cash flows for the three months ended July 31, 1998 and 1997. The
reconciliation of net loss to comprehensive income (loss) is as follows (in
thousands):

                                                  Three Months Ended July 31,

(4) Net income (loss) per share

         Net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average
number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.
Common equivalent shares are not included in the per share calculations where
their inclusion would be antidilutive.

         In February 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128
"Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS 128") was issued by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board. SFAS 128 requires the presentation of both basic and diluted
earnings per share. Under SFAS 128, "basic earnings (loss) per share" is
calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares actually
outstanding, and "diluted earnings per share" is calculated based upon the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding and other potential common
shares if they are dilutive. SFAS 128 was adopted in the Company's third quarter
of fiscal 1998. Prior periods have been restated to conform with SFAS 128.

     The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the
basic and diluted EPS computations for the periods presented:

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

         The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations contains certain forward-looking statements
that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. When used in this Prospectus,
the words "anticipate," "plan," "believe," "estimate," "expect" and similar
expressions as they relate to the Company or its management are intended to
identify such forward-looking statements. The Company's actual results,
performance or achievements could differ materially from the results expressed
in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or
contribute to such differences include those discussed in "Risk Factors" section
included in the Company's report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April
30, 1998.

Overview

         Ansoft Corporation ("Ansoft" or the "Company") develops, markets and
supports electronic design automation ("EDA") software based on fundamental
electromagnetic principles. The Company's products are used by design engineers
in a wide range of industries, including the rapidly evolving wireless
communications and RF markets as well as the semiconductor, computer, automotive
and consumer electronics industries. The Company's software is used in the
design of high performance electrical devices and systems, such as cellular
phones, communications systems, computer circuit boards and motors.

         License revenue consists principally of revenue from the licensing of
the Company's software and is generally recognized when the software has been
shipped and there are no significant remaining obligations. Service revenue
consists of maintenance fees for providing system updates, user documentation
and technical support for software products, and is recognized ratably over the
term of the maintenance agreement. Other revenue consists primarily of revenue
earned on development contracts with government-sponsored entities. Revenue
under these arrangements is recognized as the service is performed.

         In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 86, the Company has evaluated the establishment of technological feasibility
of its various products during the development phase. Due to the dynamic changes
in the market, the Company has concluded that it cannot determine, with any
reasonable degree of accuracy, technological feasibility until the development
phase of the project is nearly complete. The time period during which costs
could be capitalized from the point of reaching technological feasibility until
the time of general product release is generally very short and, consequently,



                                     Page 6


<PAGE>   9





the amounts that could be capitalized pursuant to SFAS No. 86 are not material
to the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Therefore, the Company charges all research and development expenses to
operations in the period incurred.

         Effective July 24, 1996, April 9, 1997 and August 8, 1997, the Company
acquired the Electronic Business Unit (the "EBU") of The MacNeal Schwendler
Company ("MSC"), Compact Software Inc. ("Compact"), and Boulder Microwave
Technologies, Inc. ("Boulder"), respectively. The cost of these acquisitions has
been allocated on the basis of the estimated fair value of the assets acquired
and the liabilities assumed. The acquisitions have been accounted for as
purchases, and their respective financial results have been included in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements since the date of their
respective acquisitions.

Results of Operations

         The following table sets forth the percentage of total revenue of each
item in the Company's consolidated statements of operations:

Comparison of The Three Months Ended July 31, 1998 and 1997

         Revenue. Total revenue in the three-month period ended July 31, 1998
decreased 3% to $5.2 million from $5.3 million in the comparable period of the
preceding fiscal year. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower sales in
the Asia-Pacific region. License revenue during the three-month period ended
July 31, 1998 decreased 19% to $3.2 million from $4.0 million during the
comparable period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in licenses revenue is
primarily attributable to lower sales in the Asia-Pacific region. The increase
in service and other revenue is primarily attributable to the continued growth
of the installed base of customers and increased focus on marketing annual
maintenance agreements.

         International revenue accounted for 51% and 55% of the Company's total
product revenue in the three-month period ended July 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

         In 1989, the Company entered into a distribution arrangement with
Hewlett-Packard Corporation ("HP") under which HP formerly distributed the
Company's HFSS product on an exclusive basis (the "HP Agreement"). The HP
Agreement has since expired, and HP has no right to distribute the Company's
HFSS 4.0 product. Ansoft currently sells the latest version of its HFSS product,
Ansoft HFSS 6.0, through its own sales force and other distributors. Revenue
from the HP Agreement accounted 7% of total revenue in the three-month period
ended July 31, 1997. Management believes that the expiration of the HP Agreement
has not had a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or
results of operations.

         Sales and marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses consist of
salaries, commissions paid to internal sales and marketing personnel and
international distributors, promotional costs and related operating expenses.
Sales and marketing expenses increased by 66% to $4.3 million in the three-month
period ended July 31, 1998, as compared to $2.6 million in the same period in
the previous fiscal year. The increase is attributable to an increase in the
Company's sales force as a result of the acquisitions as well as increased
marketing efforts, including advertising in trade publications and increased
participation in industry trade shows. Sales and marketing expenses represented
83% and 48% of total revenue in the three-month period ended July 31, 1998 and
1997, respectively.

         Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses
include all costs associated with the development of new products and
enhancements to existing products. Research and development expenses for the
three-month period ended July 31, 1998 increased 37% to $2.1 million, as
compared to $1.5 million for the same period in the previous fiscal year. The
increase is due to increased research and development personnel primarily as a
result of the acquisitions. Research and development expenses represented 40%
and 28% of total revenue in the three-month period ended July 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. The Company anticipates that research and development expenses
will increase in absolute dollars in future periods.

         General and administrative expenses. General and administrative
expenses for the three-month period ended July 31, 1998 increased 35% to
$635,000, as compared to $470,000 for the same period in the previous fiscal
year. The increase is due to additional costs required to support the increase
in operations, including the hiring of additional administrative personnel.
General and administrative expenses represented 12% and 9% of total revenue in
the three-month period ended July 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The Company
anticipates that general and administrative expenses will increase in absolute
dollars in future periods.

         Amortization expense. Amortization expense for the three-month period
ended July 31, 1998 increased to $422,000, as compared to $314,000 for the same
period in the previous fiscal year. The increase is due to the amortization of
the additional intangible assets acquired during fiscal 1998.


                                     Page 8


<PAGE>   11





         Other income. Other income for the three-month period ended July 31,
1998 increased to $379,000, compared to $91,000 for the same period in the
previous fiscal year. Other income increased due to the higher net investment
balance due to the proceeds from the public offering of 2,000,000 shares in
March of 1998.

         Income taxes. In the three-month period ended July 31, 1998, the
Company recorded a net income tax benefit of $550,000. In the three-month period
ended July 31, 1997, the Company recorded a net income tax benefit of $170,000,
resulting from the partial recognition of previously unrecognized deferred tax
assets in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's SFAS No.
109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         As of July 31, 1998, the Company had $5.0 million in cash and cash
equivalents and working capital of $25.2 million. Net cash used in operating
activities was $735,000 and $83,000 in the three months ended July 31, 1998 and
1997, respectively. Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was
$(14.9) million and $2.3 million in the three months ended July 31, 1998 and
1997, respectively. Capital expenditures, consisting primarily of purchases of
computer equipment, were $385,000 and $291,000 in the three months ended July
31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities
includes cash proceeds from the issuance of Common Stock totaling $57,000 and
$5,000 in the three months ended July 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. During
the three months ended July 31, 1997, the Company repaid $1.7 million on its
line of credit with a financial institution.

YEAR 2000 ISSUES

         The Company is currently reviewing its products, internal systems and
infrastructure in order to identify and modify those products and systems that
are not Year 2000 compliant. The Company expects any required modification to be
made on a timely basis and does not believe that the cost of any such
modifications will have a material adverse effect on the Company's operating
results. There can be no assurance, however, that there will not be a delay in,
or increased costs associated with, implementation of any such modifications and
the Company's inability to implement such modifications could have an adverse
affect on the Company's future operating results.
