Management's Discussion and Analysis 
- ------------------------------------
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


Parametric Technology Corporation is the leading supplier of software tools used
to automate the mechanical development of a product from its conceptual design
through production.

     Any forward-looking statements, including projections about growth and the
Company's business, are based on certain assumptions made by management.
Important information about the basis for those assumptions and factors that may
cause actual results to differ materially from those projected is contained in
"Proposed Acquisition" and "Important Factors Regarding Future Results."


Proposed Acquisition

On November 4, 1997, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement
to acquire Computervision Corporation ("Computervision") in a stock-for-stock
transaction. Under the terms of the proposed transaction, each share of
Computervision common stock will be exchanged for .0866 shares of the Company's
common stock and Computervision will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company. The transaction is intended to be accounted for as a pooling of
interests and to qualify as a tax-free reorganization. Subject to several
conditions, including approval of Computervision's shareholders, the
transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of fiscal 1998. The
discussion and analysis below, except where otherwise noted, do not reflect the
effects of the transaction. As a pooling of interests, upon completion of the
transaction, the historic results of Computervision will be combined with those
of the Company. In addition, the Company expects to recognize a non-recurring
charge of approximately $75,000,000 to $95,000,000 related to certain merger-
related, debt prepayment, consolidation and integration expenses during the
quarter in which the transaction closes. Also, the Company will assume
approximately $240,000,000 in debt from Computervision, and expects to use cash
and short-term investment balances to repay a substantial portion of such debt.


Results of Operations

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997, the Company's revenue and net
income increased 35% and 38%, respectively, over the previous fiscal year,
excluding a non-recurring acquisition related charge in fiscal 1996. For the
fiscal year ended September 30, 1996, revenue and net income excluding non-
recurring acquisition related charges increased 52% and 61%, respectively, over
fiscal year 1995. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997, net income as a
percentage of revenue was 27% as compared to 26% and 25%, excluding the non-
recurring acquisition related charges, in fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Operating income as a percentage of revenue was 40% in fiscal 1997 compared to
39% and 38%, excluding the non-recurring acquisition related charges, in fiscal
1996 and 1995, respectively. Net income for fiscal year 1996 excludes a non-
recurring acquisition related charge of $32,119,000 related to the acquisition
of Reflex technology ("Reflex"). Net income for fiscal year 1995 excludes the
non-recurring acquisition related charges of $10,438,000 related to the merger
of Rasna Corporation ("Rasna") into the Company and $19,000,000 related to the
acquisition of the Conceptual Design and Rendering System ("CDRS") software
business. Including the non-recurring acquisition related charges, the Company's
net income as a percentage of revenue was 27%, 23% and 20% in fiscal 1997, 1996
and 1995, respectively.

     The following table sets forth certain consolidated financial data as a
percentage of revenue for the fiscal years ended September 30, 1997, 1996 and
1995.

Revenue

The Company derives its revenue from the sale and support of software used in
the mechanical segment of the CAD/CAM/CAE (computer-aided design, manufacturing
and engineering) industry. In fiscal 1997, the Company licensed 93% of its
products directly to end-user customers and 7% via third-party distributors as
compared with 91% directly to end-user customers and 9% via third party
distributors in both fiscal 1996 and 1995. The overall revenue growth in fiscal
1997 and 1996 reflects the continued worldwide acceptance of the Company's
products and services and the Company's ongoing investment in expanding its
worldwide direct sales force.

     License and service revenue for fiscal years 1997, 1996 and 1995 were:

</TABLE>

     The increase in license revenue results from an increase in the number of
seats of software licensed and from a higher price realized per seat. A seat of
software generally consists of various software products configured to serve the
needs of a single end-user. The Company licensed approximately 29,950 seats of
software in fiscal 1997, an increase of 30% from fiscal 1996's 23,000 seats,
which was 45% higher than fiscal 1995's 15,900 seats. The increase in the number
of seats licensed was achieved as a result of continued market penetration of
the Company's products, with strong growth in fiscal 1997 in North America. The
decrease in license revenue growth from 56% to 32% is due in part to the lower
rate of growth of international license revenue. The average price per seat
during fiscal 1997 was approximately $19,800, compared with an average price of
approximately $19,500 in 1996 and $18,100 in 1995. The average price per seat
has increased as a result of customers purchasing configurations of software
seats containing more modules.

     Service revenue is derived from the sale of software maintenance contracts
and the performance of training and consulting services. This revenue increased
during both fiscal 1997 and 1996 as a result of the growth in the Company's
installed customer base and, to a lesser extent, increased training and
consulting services performed for these customers.

</TABLE>

     The Company derived 54%, 56% and 50% of its revenues from sales to
international customers in fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Direct
export sales were $127,715,000, $84,537,000 and $45,147,000 in fiscal 1997, 1996
and 1995, respectively. The decrease in the percentage of revenue derived from
international sales from fiscal 1996 to fiscal 1997 is attributable primarily to
the strengthening of the dollar in relation to the yen and the major European
currencies and to weaker revenues in Japan due to internal execution issues. The
Company has taken measures to strengthen its sales and support infrastructure in
Japan and to rebuild capacity in order to re-accelerate revenue growth in this
region, but does not expect Japan's year-over-year revenue growth to contribute
to overall revenue growth until at least the second quarter of fiscal 1998.

     The Company expects that total revenue will increase in fiscal 1998 from
continued penetration in the mechanical CAD/CAM/CAE industry. However, the rate
of continued revenue growth in fiscal 1998 depends upon the Company's ability to
implement recent measures taken to strengthen results in Japan, adequately
manage exposure to foreign currency fluctuations, continue to penetrate the
mechanical segment of the CAD/CAM/CAE industry, attract and retain skilled
personnel, and deliver timely product enhancements. In addition, there can be no
assurance that quarterly revenue growth rates or growth rates for particular
geographic areas will be comparable to those in fiscal 1997. Fiscal 1998
performance could also be affected by the efforts to integrate Computervision's
operations with those of the Company and the success of those integration
efforts.

</TABLE>

     Cost of license revenue consists of the amortization of capitalized
computer software costs, costs associated with reproducing and distributing
software and documentation, and royalties. The absolute increase in cost of
license revenue is a result of the increase in the number of seats licensed and
the variable costs associated with software media, documentation and royalties
during each of the last three fiscal years. Cost of service revenue includes
costs associated with training and consulting personnel, such as salaries and
related costs and travel, and costs related to software maintenance, including
costs incurred for customer support personnel and the release of maintenance
updates. Absolute increases in cost of service revenue resulted primarily from
growth in the staffing necessary to generate and support increased worldwide
service revenue and provide ongoing quality customer support to its increasing
installed base. As a percentage of revenue, total cost of revenue has remained
constant at 9% over the past three fiscal years.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
- ------------------------------------ 
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses primarily include salaries, sales commissions,
travel and facility costs. These expenses also include programs aimed at
increasing revenues, such as advertising, trade shows, and various sales and
promotional seminar programs. While sales and marketing expenses as a percentage
of revenue have declined slightly over the three most recent fiscal years, the
absolute increases in these expenses were due principally to worldwide expansion
of the sales force and sales commissions associated with higher revenue. Total
sales and marketing headcount increased to 2,093 in fiscal 1997 from 1,645 in
fiscal 1996 and 1,098 in fiscal 1995. International sales and marketing expenses
represented 60% of total sales and marketing expenses in fiscal 1997, compared
with 58% in 1996 and 52% in 1995. The Company expects to continue the growth of
its worldwide sales and marketing organization during fiscal 1998, reflecting
the Company's commitment to focus its resources on expanding worldwide
acceptance for its products. The Company's ability to meet this expectation
depends primarily upon its ability to attract and retain highly skilled
technical, managerial and sales personnel.


Research and Development

The Company continued to make investments in research and development,
consisting principally of salaries and benefits, expenses associated with
product translations, costs of computer equipment used in software development
and facility expenses. The Company believes that research and development
expenditures are essential to maintaining its competitive position in the
CAD/CAM/CAE industry and expects the expenditure levels to increase in absolute
dollars in fiscal 1998. Research and development expenses as a percentage of
revenues remained consistent at 6.6% in fiscal 1997 as compared with 6.6% and
6.5% in fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively.


General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses include the costs of the corporate, finance,
information technology, human resources and administrative functions of the
Company. The absolute increases in these expenses were principally due to the
hiring of additional employees necessary to support the Company's worldwide
growth, and in the information technology area as the Company upgraded its
internal management information systems. As a percentage of revenue, general and
administrative expenses were 4.8% in fiscal 1997 as compared with 4.8% and 5.2%
in fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively.


Non-recurring Acquisition and Related Costs

The Company recorded a non-recurring acquisition related charge of $32,119,000
related to the write-off of purchased research and development in process in
conjunction with the Reflex acquisition in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996. In
the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company recorded a non-recurring
acquisition related charge of $10,438,000 in conjunction with the Rasna merger
consisting primarily of transaction fees and costs associated with integrating
the businesses. In conjunction with the CDRS acquisition in the third quarter of
fiscal 1995, the Company recorded a non-recurring charge of $19,000,000 related
to the write-off of purchased research and development in process.

</TABLE> 

     Other income, net, primarily includes interest income, foreign currency
gains and losses, and the costs associated with managing the Company's foreign
exchange exposure. Interest income increased to $17,096,000 in fiscal 1997 from
$13,914,000 in fiscal 1996 and $10,159,000 in fiscal 1995 due primarily to
higher average cash and investment balances partially offset by lower average
annual returns. As the international portion of its business continues to
expand, a growing percentage of the Company's revenue and expenses is transacted
in foreign currencies. In order to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in
foreign exchange rates, the Company from time to time engages in hedging
transactions involving the use of forward foreign exchange contracts and foreign
exchange option contracts in the primary European and Asian currencies.

</TABLE>

     The difference between the effective and statutory federal tax rate was due
primarily to the benefits of tax exempt interest income and the income from
foreign sales corporation, offset by the impact of state income taxes and, in
fiscal 1995, the non-deductible acquisition costs associated with the Rasna
merger. The effective tax rate decreased to 35% in fiscal 1997 from 36% in
fiscal 1996 primarily due to tax credits.

</TABLE>

     Net cash generated by operating activities and proceeds from issuance of
the Company's stock under stock plans provided sufficient resources to fund the
Company's headcount growth, capital assets needs, stock repurchases and
acquisitions in all periods presented.

     The increase in fiscal 1997 and 1996 in cash and cash equivalents provided
by operations was primarily due to higher net income before depreciation and
amortization, and increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses, accrued
compensation, income taxes and deferred revenue, offset by increases in accounts
receivable and other current assets.

     Excluding the investment of excess cash, investing activities for the
periods presented used cash primarily to purchase property and equipment and to
acquire technology and businesses. In fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995, the Company
acquired $28,809,000, $29,650,000 and $12,868,000, respectively, of capital
equipment consisting principally of computer equipment, computer software and
office equipment. In fiscal 1998, the Company expects to spend at least as much
as was spent in fiscal 1997, but the level of spending will be dependent on
various factors, including the growth of the business and general economic
conditions.

     Net cash was used by financing activities in fiscal 1997 and 1996 primarily
to repurchase $184,780,000 and $66,563,000, respectively, of the Company's
stock, offset by proceeds of $65,514,000 and $40,763,000 from the issuance of
the Company's common stock under stock plans. In fiscal 1995, net cash was
provided by financing activities primarily from issuance of the Company's common
stock under stock plans.

     On May 12, 1994, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had
authorized a plan that allowed the Company to repurchase up to 6,000,000 shares
of its common stock. During fiscal 1997, the Company repurchased 3,720,000
shares at a cost of $184,780,000, of which 524,000 remained in treasury at
September 30, 1997, to partially offset the dilution caused by the exercise of
stock options under the Company's option plans and the purchase of shares under
the employee stock purchase plan. Since the inception of the plan, the Company
has repurchased 5,813,000 shares. The repurchases have been funded through the
use of available cash, cash generated from operations and cash received from
stock option exercises and stock purchase plan purchases. On September 11, 1997,
the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized an increase in
the number of shares of common stock that the Company may repurchase under the
repurchase program from 6,000,000 to 12,000,000 shares. In anticipation of the
Computervision acquisition, the Company has suspended repurchases and the Board
of Directors has rescinded authorization of the repurchase program.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results 
of Operations


     On July 10, 1996, the Company acquired project modeling and management
software (Reflex) technology for $32,119,000, which included the issuance of
113,000 shares of the Company's common stock with a fair value of $5,000,000 at
the time of the acquisition. Payments of $5,000,000 in fiscal 1997 and
$22,119,000 in fiscal 1996 were from the Company's existing cash balances. The
acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase. The purchase price was
allocated to purchased research and development in process, as no other tangible
or intangible assets were identified. The purchased research and development in
process had not reached technological feasibility, had no alternative future use
and was valued using expected future cash flows, discounted for risks and
uncertainties related to the target markets and the completion of the products.
As a result, at the date of acquisition, the $32,119,000 allocated to purchased
research and development in process was recorded as a non-recurring charge.

     The Company believes that existing cash and short-term investment balances
together with cash generated from operations and the issuance of the Company's
common stock under stock plans will be sufficient to meet the Company's working
capital, financing and capital expenditure requirements through at least fiscal
1998. Following completion of the Computervision acquisition, the Company
expects to use its existing cash and short-term investment balances to repay a
substantial portion of Computervision's $240,000,000 of debt and the $75,000,000
to $95,000,000 of merger-related, debt prepayment, consolidation and integration
expenses that will be recorded as a non-recurring charge.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings per
Share." SFAS No. 128 establishes a different method of computing net income per
share than is currently required under the provisions of Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 15. Under SFAS No. 128, the Company will be required to
present both basic net income per share and diluted net income per share. The
Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 128 in its first quarter of fiscal 1998 and at
that time all historical net income per share data presented will be restated as
follows to conform to the provisions of SFAS No. 128:

Diluted net income per share    $1.64  $1.04  $0.60
</TABLE>

     In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income," which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive
income and its components (revenue, expenses, gains and losses) in a full set of
general-purpose financial statements. Management has not yet evaluated the
effects of this change on its reporting of income. The Company will adopt SFAS
No. 130 for its fiscal year ending September 30, 1999.

     In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information," which changes the way public companies
report information about operating segments. SFAS No. 131, which is based on the
management approach to segment reporting, establishes requirements to report
selected segment information quarterly and to report entity-wide disclosures
about products and services, major customers and the material countries in which
the entity holds assets and reports revenue. Management is currently evaluating
the effects of this change on its reporting of segment information. The Company
will adopt SFAS No. 131 for its fiscal year ending September 30, 1999.

     In October 1997, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
issued Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition," which
provides guidance on applying generally accepted accounting principles in
recognizing revenue on software transactions and supersedes SOP 91-1, "Software
Revenue Recognition." The Company will adopt SOP 97-2 for its fiscal year ending
September 30, 1999 and does not expect any material impact on its revenue
recognition policies.


Financial Risk Management

In January 1997, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission issued Financial
Reporting Release No. 48 which expands disclosure requirements for certain
derivative and other financial instruments. The Company adopted the sensitivity
analysis approach effective in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997. The
sensitivity approach presents the hypothetical change in fair value resulting
from hypothetical changes in market rates.

     As a global concern, the Company faces exposure to adverse movements in
foreign currency exchange rates. These exposures may change over time as
business practices evolve and could have a material adverse impact on the
Company's financial results. Historically, the Company's primary exposures have
been related to local currency revenue in Japan and Europe and local currency
operating expenses in Europe, Japan and Asia/Pacific. Historically, the Company
has hedged currency exposures associated with certain accounts receivable
denominated in local currencies and certain anticipated foreign currency revenue
transactions. The hedging activity undertaken by the Company is intended to
offset the impact of currency fluctuations on certain local currency accounts
receivable and certain anticipated foreign currency revenue transactions. The
success of this activity depends upon forecasts of transaction activity
denominated in various currencies. To the extent that these forecasts are
overstated or understated during periods of currency volatility, the Company
could experience unanticipated currency gains or losses.

Outstanding forward foreign exchange contracts at September 30, 1997 mature
within one month, and therefore movement in the exchange rates is not expected
to have a material impact on the Company's financial results.

     The carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated balance sheets for cash
and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair
value due to the short maturities of these instruments. The fair values
represent estimates of possible value that may not be realized in the future.

     The Company maintains investment portfolio holdings of various issuers,
types and maturities. These securities are generally classified as available for
sale, and consequently, are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value with
unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate component of stockholders'
equity. Given the short maturities and investment grade quality of the portfolio
holdings at September 30, 1997, a sharp rise in interest rates should not have a
material adverse impact on the fair value of the Company's investment portfolio.
As a result, the Company does not currently hedge these interest rate exposures.

     The following table presents hypothetical changes in fair values in the
financial instruments held by the Company at September 30, 1997 that are
sensitive to changes in interest rates. These instruments are not leveraged and
are held for purposes other than trading. The modeling technique used measures
the change in fair values arising from selected potential changes in interest
rates. Market changes reflect immediate hypothetical shifts in the yield curve
of plus or minus 50 basis points ("BP"), and 100 BP. Fair values represent the
market principal plus accrued interest, dividends and certain interest rate-
sensitive securities considered cash, cash equivalents and investments for
financial reporting purposes at September 30, 1997.

Important Factors Regarding Future Results

Information provided by the Company, including information contained in this
Annual Report, or by its spokespersons from time to time may contain forward-
looking statements concerning projected financial performance, market and
industry segment growth, product development and commercialization or other
aspects of future operations. Such statements, made pursuant to the safe harbor
established by recent securities legislation, will be based on the assumptions
and expectations of the Company's management at the time such statements are
made. The Company cautions investors that its performance (and, therefore, any
forward-looking statement) is subject to risks and uncertainties. Various
important factors, including, but not limited to the following, may cause the
Company's future results to differ materially from those projected in any
forward-looking statement.

Fluctuations in Operating Results

While the Company's sales cycle varies substantially from customer to customer,
a high percentage of the Company's revenues are expected to be realized in the
third month of each fiscal quarter and tend to be concentrated in the latter
half of that month. The Company's orders early in a quarter will not generally
be large enough to assure that it will meet its revenue targets for any
particular quarter. In addition, the Company's operating expenses are based on
expected future revenue and are relatively fixed for the short term.
Accordingly, the Company's quarterly results may be difficult to predict until
the end of the quarter and a shortfall in shipments or contract orders at the
end of any particular quarter may cause the results for that quarter to fall
short of anticipated levels. In turn, this could adversely impact the market
price of the Company's stock.

Stock Market Volatility

Market prices for securities of software companies have generally been volatile.
In particular, the market price of the Company's common stock has been and may
continue to be subject to significant fluctuations as a result of factors
affecting the computer industry or the securities markets in general. These
factors include, but are not limited to, quarterly variations, announcements of
technological innovations by the Company or competitors, changes in prices by
the Company or competitors, changes in product mix and changes in revenue or
revenue growth rates for geographic areas or products.

  In addition, a large percentage of the Company's common stock traditionally
has been held by institutional investors. Consequently, actions with respect to
the Company's common stock by certain of these institutional investors could
have a significant impact on the market price for the stock. For more
information, please see the Company's proxy statement with respect to its most
recent annual meeting of stockholders and Schedules 13D and 13G filed with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the Company's common
stock.

Market Growth

Any Company projections of revenue growth are based on the assumptions that the
Company will be able to continue to penetrate the relevant markets, execute
management initiatives, and that the mechanical CAD/CAM/CAE industry will
continue to grow at a predicted annual rate. Failure of these assumptions to
materialize could adversely impact the Company's operating results.

Rapid Technological and Market Changes

The mechanical CAD/CAM/CAE industry is highly competitive, and is characterized
by rapid technological advances. Accordingly, the Company's ability to realize
its expectations will depend on its success at enhancing its current offerings,
licensing technology from third parties, developing new products and services
that keep pace with developments in technology and meeting evolving customer
requirements, and delivering those products through appropriate distribution
channels. This will require, among other things, correctly anticipating customer
needs, hiring and retaining personnel with the necessary skills and creativity,
providing adequate funding for the development efforts and managing distribution
channels effectively. In addition, the Company's software has historically been
available on a variety of platforms. However, the Company is aware of efforts by
competitors to focus on single platform applications. There can be no assurance
that multiple platform applications will provide the Company with any
competitive advantage.

  The Company has continued to enhance its existing products through updated
product releases. The Company has recently announced that those product releases
will be less frequent in order to permit customers to more effectively absorb
upgrades. The Company's competitive position and operating results could be
adversely affected by failure to anticipate or respond adequately to customer
requirements or to technological developments, particularly those of our
competitors; or by significant delays in the development, production, testing,
marketing or availability of new or enhanced products or services; or by the
failure of customers to accept such products or services.

Possibility of New Product Delays

As is common in the computer software industry, the Company may from time to
time experience delays in its product development and "debugging" efforts.
Significant delays in developing, completing or shipping new or enhanced
products could adversely affect the Company's financial performance. Among other
things, such delays could cause the Company to incorrectly predict the fiscal
quarter in which revenue from the shipment of the new or enhanced product will
be realized and give the Company's competitors a greater opportunity to market
competing products.

Management of Growth Through Acquisitions

The Company's product range and customer base have increased in the recent past
due in part to acquisitions. The Company may acquire additional businesses or
product lines in the future. In particular, the Company has announced that it
has entered into an agreement to acquire Computervision, subject to several
factors including approval of Computervision's shareholders. The probability of
success of any acquisition may be dependent upon the Company's ability to
integrate the acquired business or products successfully and to retain key
personnel and customers associated with the acquisition. Failure to do so, or a
material increase in the cost of integration, could cause actual results to
differ from those projected in management's forward-looking statements.

Competition

The Company believes that the principal bases for competition in its markets are
product functionality, price/performance characteristics, product portability,
ease of product use, sales and marketing strength, support services and
corporate reputation. In particular, the Company believes that the current
success of its Pro/ENGINEER product line is due in part to the mechanical and
functional superiority of such products over competitive offerings. The Company
is aware of a number of efforts to develop technically equivalent competitive
products and to market these products at lower prices. Should a competitor
successfully bring such a product to market and be able to sell it at a lower
price in the future, the Company's operating results could be adversely
affected. In addition, the Company is aware of ongoing efforts by competitors,
some of whom have greater resources than the Company, to emulate the performance
and functionality of the Company's products, and competitors may develop

Operations

equivalent or superior technology. The Company's future success will depend in a
large part on its ability to license additional products and services to its
existing customer base as well as to the installed customer bases of traditional
mechanical CAD/CAM/CAE suppliers.

Dependence on Key Personnel

The Company's success depends upon its ability to attract and retain highly
skilled technical, managerial and sales personnel. While the Company has not to
date experienced any significant difficulty in hiring or retaining qualified
personnel, competition for such personnel in the computer industry in general,
and the mechanical CAD/CAM/CAE industry in particular, is intense. Management's
projections necessarily assume that the Company will continue to attract and
retain such personnel and the failure to do so could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's ability to develop and market competitive products and
its ability to achieve projected operating results.

Risks Associated with International Business

A significant and growing portion of the Company's business comes from outside
the United States. A consequence of increased international business is that a
growing percentage of the Company's revenue and expenses are denominated in
foreign currencies, which subjects the Company's results of operations to
foreign exchange fluctuations. Although the Company may enter into forward
foreign exchange contracts and foreign exchange option contracts to offset a
portion of the foreign exchange fluctuations, unanticipated events may
materially and adversely affect its results. Additional risks associated with
international business include, but are not limited to, unexpected changes in
regulatory practices and tariffs, staffing and managing foreign operations,
longer collection cycles in certain areas, potential changes in tax laws,
greater difficulty in protecting intellectual property rights and general
economic and political conditions.

Protection of Intellectual Property and Other Proprietary Rights

The Company regards its software products as proprietary and attempts to protect
its intellectual property rights by relying on copyrights, trademarks, patents
and common law safeguards, including trade secret protection, as well as
restrictions on disclosures and transferability in its agreements with other
parties. Although the Company intends to protect its intellectual property
rights, there can be no assurance that the laws of all jurisdictions in which
the Company's products are or may be developed, manufactured or sold will afford
the same protections to its products and intellectual property, or will be
enforced or enforceable by the Company, to the same extent as under the laws of
the United States. The software industry is characterized by frequent litigation
regarding copyright, patent and other intellectual property rights. While the
Company has not, to date, had any significant claims of such nature asserted
against it, there can be no assurance that third parties will not assert such
claims against the Company with respect to existing or future products or that,
if asserted, such claims would be resolved in a satisfactory manner. In the
event of litigation to determine the validity of any third party claims, such
litigation could result in significant expense to the Company and divert the
efforts of the Company's technical and management personnel, whether or not such
litigation is determined in favor of the Company.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements




A. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in the financial statements. Certain
reclassifications have been made for consistent presentation.

     On August 1, 1995, the Company completed its merger with Rasna Corporation
("Rasna"), a developer and marketer of software products for mechanical
computer-aided engineering. The merger was accounted for as a pooling of
interests. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have
been retroactively combined to reflect this transaction.


Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Foreign Currency Translation

Foreign currency financial statements of international subsidiaries, where the
local currency is the functional currency, are translated using exchange rates
in effect at period end for assets and liabilities and at average rates during
the period for results of operations. The resulting foreign currency translation
adjustments are reflected as a separate component of stockholders' equity. For
international subsidiaries where the U.S. dollar is the functional currency,
monetary assets and liabilities are translated using exchange rates in effect at
period end, nonmonetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical
rates and results of operations are translated at average rates for the period.
The resulting foreign currency translation adjustments are included in income.
Any gains or losses from foreign exchange transactions are included in income
and are immaterial for all periods presented.


Revenue Recognition

Revenue is derived from the licensing of computer software products and from
service revenue consisting of training, consulting and maintenance. License
revenue is recognized upon shipment, unless collection is not reasonably
assured. Revenue from software maintenance contracts is recognized ratably over
the contract period and other service revenue is recognized upon performance.


Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and
cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair
value due to the short maturities of these instruments.


Cash Equivalents and Investments

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents. Short-term investments are those
with maturities in excess of three months but less than one year. Marketable
investments are those with maturities in excess of one year but less than two
years. All cash equivalents and short-term and marketable investments have been
classified as available for sale and are reported at fair value with unrealized
gains and losses included in stockholders' equity.

     The Company invests its non-operating cash in debt instruments of financial
institutions, government entities, corporations and mutual funds. The Company
has established guidelines relative to credit ratings, diversification and
maturities that maintain safety and liquidity. The Company has not experienced
any losses on its investments.


Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company places its cash, cash equivalents and investments with financial
institutions with high credit standing. The Company's customer base consists of
large numbers of geographically diverse customers dispersed across many
industries. As a result, concentration of credit risk with respect to trade
receivables is not significant.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements




Derivatives

The Company enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge specific
foreign currency denominated receivables, which require the Company to exchange
foreign currencies for U.S. dollars at maturity at rates agreed to at inception
of the contracts. Exchange gains or losses arising from such transactions are
included in other expense. All forward foreign exchange contracts are designated
as effective hedges and are highly inversely correlated to the hedged item as
required by generally accepted accounting principles. As of September 30, 1997
and 1996, the Company had approximately $50,170,000 and $11,766,000,
respectively, of foreign exchange contracts outstanding. All contracts mature
within one year. At September 30, 1997 and for all fiscal years presented,
unrealized and realized gains and losses associated with exchange rate
fluctuations on forward foreign exchange contracts are immaterial. Cash flows
from the forward foreign exchange contracts are classified with the related
receivables.

     The Company purchases foreign exchange option contracts from time to time
to limit potential losses from adverse exchange rate movements on certain
anticipated revenue transactions. The contracts are primarily in European
currencies and Japanese yen and have maturities of less than one year. All 
foreign exchange option contracts are designated as hedges, the purpose of which
is to protect against the potential appreciation of the U.S. dollar for certain
anticipated revenue transactions. Premiums to purchase foreign exchange option
contracts are capitalized to other current assets and amortized to other expense
over the life of the contract. Gains on option contracts, if any, are included
in license and service revenues in the period in which the related local
currency revenue is reported. For 1997 these transactions were immaterial.
There were no outstanding option contracts at September 30, 1997.


Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-
line method over the estimated useful lives, typically three years. Leasehold
improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful lives or the remaining
terms of the related leases. Property and equipment under capital leases are
amortized over the lesser of the lease terms or the estimated useful lives.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred; additions and
improvements are capitalized. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of the disposed
asset and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and
any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to income.


Capitalized Computer Software Costs and Intangible Assets

The Company incurs costs to develop computer software to be licensed or
otherwise marketed to customers. Development costs incurred in the research and
development of new software products and enhancements to existing products are
expensed in the period incurred unless these costs qualify for capitalization.
Capitalized computer software costs are amortized over the economic lives of the
related products, typically three years, beginning at their initial shipment
date. Capitalized computer software costs of $1,687,000 and $3,174,000, included
in other assets, are net of accumulated amortization of $8,002,000 and
$5,672,000 at September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Amortization charged to
expense was $2,329,000, $2,021,000 and $1,334,000 for the fiscal years ended
September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

     In fiscal 1995, purchased software of $3,400,000 and intangible assets of
$11,083,000 (including goodwill of $7,703,000) were capitalized and were
attributable to the acquisition of the Conceptual Design and Rendering System
("CDRS") software business operated by the Design Software Division of Evans &
Sutherland Computer Corporation. These assets, included in other assets, are
amortized on a straight-line basis, over three and seven years, respectively.
Amortization charges related to intangible assets, the majority of which were
reflected in general and administrative expenses, totaled $1,570,000, $1,580,000
and $725,000 for the fiscal years ended September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.

     The Company evaluates the net realizable value of capitalized computer
software costs and intangible assets on an ongoing basis relying on a number of
factors including operating results, business plans, budgets and economic
projections.

Income Per Common Share

Income per common share is computed based upon the weighted average number of
common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the year. Fully
diluted and primary earnings per common share are the same amounts for each of
the years presented. Dilutive common equivalent shares consist of stock options
and are calculated using the treasury stock method.

B. ACQUISITIONS

On July 10, 1996, the Company acquired project modeling and management software
("Reflex") technology from Greenshire License Co. for $32,119,000, which
included the issuance of 113,000 shares of the Company's common stock with a
fair value of $5,000,000 at the time of the acquisition. Payments of $5,000,000
in fiscal 1997 and $22,119,000 in fiscal 1996 were from the Company's existing
cash balances. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase. The
purchase price was allocated to purchased research and development in process as
no other tangible or intangible assets were identified. The purchased research
and development in process had not reached technological feasibility, had no
alternative future use and was valued using expected future cash flows,
discounted for risks and uncertainties related to the target markets and the
completion of the products. As a result, at the date of acquisition, the
$32,119,000 allocated to purchased research and development in process was
recorded as a non-recurring charge. The operating results of Reflex have not
been material in relation to those of the Company and are included in the
Company's consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition.

     On August 1, 1995, the Company acquired Rasna by merging it into the
Company pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of May 30, 1995.
Based on the number of shares of Rasna common stock outstanding, the Company
issued 7,541,000 shares of common stock and reserved 1,045,000 shares of its
common stock for outstanding Rasna stock options assumed. The merger was
accounted for as a pooling of interests. In conjunction with the Rasna merger,
the Company recorded a non-recurring charge of $10,438,000, which included
approximately $6,028,000 for transaction fees, $1,722,000 for severance related
expenses, and $2,688,000 related to integration costs and lease and distributor
termination costs.

     The following information shows revenue and net income of the separate
companies during the period preceding the combination. Adjustments recorded to
conform the accounting policies of the companies were not material to the
consolidated financial statements.

</TABLE>

     On April 12, 1995, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and
specified liabilities of CDRS for $33,507,000 in cash, which was paid by the
Company from its existing cash balances. The acquisition was accounted for as a
purchase. The purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired,
including certain intangible assets, such as purchased computer software and
research and development in process, based on their respective fair values. The
excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets
acquired has been recorded as goodwill ($7,703,000), which is being amortized on
a straight-line basis over seven years. In conjunction with the acquisition, the
Company recorded a non-recurring charge of $19,000,000 related to the write-off
of purchased research and development in process. CDRS's results of operations
have been included in the consolidated results of operations since the date of
acquisition.

September 30, 1997 and 1996, property and equipment (principally computer
hardware) includes assets under capital leases of $175,000 and $312,000, less
accumulated amortization of $140,000 and $167,000, respectively.

E. INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense includes U.S. and international income taxes. Certain items
of income and expense are not reported in tax returns and financial statements
in the same year. The tax effect of this difference is reported as deferred
income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the
expected future tax consequences, utilizing current tax rates, of temporary
differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and
liabilities. Deferred tax assets are recognized, net of any valuation allowance,
for the estimated future tax effects of deductible temporary differences and tax
operating loss and credit carryforwards. Deferred tax expense represents the
change in the deferred tax asset or liability balances.

     The net operating loss carryforwards of $2,186,000 at September 30, 1997
will expire in fiscal 2000. Ownership changes, as defined in the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, limit the amount of the net operating loss
carryforwards that can be utilized annually. The Company has recorded a
valuation allowance for the tax benefit of certain foreign net operating loss
carryforwards since realization of these future benefits is not sufficiently
assured at September 30, 1997.

F. COMMON STOCK

On February 13, 1997, the stockholders approved an amendment to the Company's
Articles of Organization to increase the number of authorized shares of the
Company's common stock from 215,000,000 to 350,000,000.

     On February 8, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors declared a one-
for-one stock dividend on all shares of common stock, which became effective on
February 29, 1996 to all stockholders of record on February 22, 1996. These
financial statements and related notes have been retroactively adjusted, as
appropriate, to reflect this one-for-one stock dividend.

     On May 12, 1994, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had
authorized a plan that allowed the Company to repurchase up to 6,000,000 shares
of its common stock. During fiscal 1997, the Company repurchased 3,720,000
shares at a cost of $184,780,000, of which 524,000 remained in treasury at
September 30, 1997, to partially offset the dilution caused by the exercise of
stock options under the Company's option plans and the purchase of shares under
the employee stock purchase plan. During fiscal 1996, the Company repurchased
1,779,000 shares at a cost of $66,563,000. Since the inception of the plan, the
Company has repurchased 5,813,000 shares. On September 11, 1997, the Company
announced that its Board of Directors had authorized an increase in the number
of shares of common stock that the Company may repurchase under the repurchase
program from 6,000,000 to 12,000,000 shares. In anticipation of the
Computervision acquisition (see Note K), the Company has suspended repurchases
and the Board of Directors has rescinded authorization of the repurchase
program.

G. STOCK PLANS

Stock Options

Under the 1987 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "Stock Option Plan"), the Board
of Directors may grant options to key employees to purchase shares at an option
exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant. The options
are exercisable at such times, in installments or otherwise, as the Board of
Directors may determine. Generally, these options vest ratably over a period of
four years and expire ten years from the date of grant. The Stock Option Plan
limits the number of options that may be granted to any eligible employee in any
fiscal year to 1,000,000 options. In fiscal 1996, the stockholders approved an
increase in the number of shares issuable under this plan from 42,792,000 to
48,792,000 and a change to the designation of persons eligible to receive
options under the Stock Option Plan to include consultants.

     On February 13, 1997, the stockholders approved the 1997 Incentive Stock
Option Plan (the "1997 Stock Option Plan") for which 6,000,000 shares of common
stock have been reserved, and the Board of Directors also approved the 1997 Non-
Qualified Stock Option Plan (the "1997 Non-Qualified Plan") for which 3,100,000
shares of common stock have been reserved. The 1997 Stock Option Plan and the
1997 Non-Qualified Plan (collectively the "1997 Plans") replace and essentially
have the same terms and conditions as the Stock Option Plan. No additional
options will be granted under the Stock Option Plan, but the rights and
privileges of holders of outstanding options under the Stock Option Plan will
continue under the terms of that plan. Under the 1997 Plans, the Board of
Directors may grant options to employees and consultants to purchase shares at a
price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant. Persons subject to
Section 16 of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are not eligible to receive
options under the 1997 Non-Qualified Plan. The options are exercisable at such
time, in installments or otherwise, as the Board of Directors may determine.
Generally, these options vest ratably over a period of four years and expire ten
years from the date of grant.

     Under the 1992 Director Stock Option Plan (the "1992 Director Plan"),
640,000 shares of common stock have been reserved. The purpose of the 1992
Director Plan is to attract and retain qualified persons who are not also
officers or employees of the Company (the "Eligible Directors") to serve as
Directors of the Company and to encourage stock ownership in the Company by such
Directors. Options granted under the 1992 Director Plan, at an option price
equal to the fair market value on the date of grant, shall become exercisable in
four equal annual installments following the date of grant if, and only if, the
optionee is a Director of the Company on such anniversary date. The options
expire ten years from the date of grant. Options to purchase 80,000 shares of
common stock were granted in fiscal 1995 to Eligible Directors of the Company.

     In fiscal 1996, the stockholders approved the 1996 Director Stock Option
Plan (the "1996 Director Plan") for which 180,000 shares of common stock have
been reserved. The 1996 Director Plan replaces the 1992 Director Plan. The terms
of the 1996 Director Plan are essentially the same as the 1992 Director Plan,
except that each Eligible Director is automatically granted options to purchase
20,000 shares of common stock at the time of initial election to the Board of
Directors, and immediately following the meeting of stockholders every year,
each Eligible Director continuing in office after such meeting will
automatically be granted options to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock. No
additional options will be granted under the 1992 Director Plan, but the rights
and privileges of holders of outstanding options under the 1992 Director Plan
are not adversely affected by the 1996 Director Plan.

     In conjunction with the Rasna merger, the Company assumed 1,045,000
outstanding options on August 1, 1995. These assumed options were granted at
prices equal to the fair market value at the date of grant, become exercisable
in installments (generally ratably over four years) and expire ten years from
the date of grant. The Company does not intend to issue any additional options
under the Rasna stock option plan. At September 30, 1997, options remaining
under the assumed plan were approximately 173,000.

     Options available for grant at September 30, 1997 were 3,949,000. Options
exercisable at September 30, 1997 were 4,635,000 as compared with 4,554,000 and
2,354,000 for fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively. The average exercise price for
options exercisable at September 30, 1997 was $22.57 as compared with $14.35 and
$8.19 for fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively.

     Certain employees have disposed of stock acquired through the exercise of
incentive stock options earlier than the mandatory holding period required for
such options. The tax benefits allowed to the Company because of these
dispositions, together with the tax benefits realized from the exercise of
nonqualified stock options, have been recorded as increases to additional
paid-in capital.

Stock Purchase Plan

The 1991 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "1991 Purchase Plan") enables
eligible employees to purchase the Company's common stock at 85% of the fair
market value of the stock on the date an offering commences or on the date an
offering terminates, whichever value is lower. The 1991 Purchase Plan covers
substantially all employees, subject to certain limitations. Each employee may
elect to have up to 10% of his or her base pay withheld and applied toward the
purchase of shares in such offering (provided that the aggregate amount of his
or her base pay withheld may not exceed $10,000 in any fiscal year). The 1991
Purchase Plan covers an aggregate of up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock to
be issued and sold to participating employees of the Company through a series of
six-month offerings, beginning April 1, 1991. Purchases under the 1991 Purchase
Plan for fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995 were 176,705, 169,425 and 154,722 shares,
generating proceeds to the Company of $6,488,000, $4,906,000 and $2,459,000,
respectively. In fiscal 1997, the average purchase price was $36.82. At
September 30, 1997, approximately 933,000 shares of common stock were reserved
for purchases under the 1991 Purchase Plan.

1991 Purchase Plan, collectively called "options") under the fair value method
of SFAS No. 123. The fair value of the options granted has been estimated at the
date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model assuming an expected
life of five years (.5 years for 1991 Purchase Plan shares), no dividends,
volatility of .40, and risk-free interest rates of 6.2%, 6.0% and 6.5% in 1997,
1996 and 1995, respectively.

     For purposes of pro forma disclosure, the estimated fair value of the
options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. Had
compensation cost for options been determined based on the Black-Scholes option
pricing model at the grant date as prescribed by SFAS No. 123, pro forma
information would have been:

     The pro forma disclosures above include the amortization of the fair value
of all options vested during 1997, 1996 and 1995. If only options granted during
1997 and 1996 were valued, as prescribed by SFAS No. 123, pro forma net income
would have been $185,696,000 and $126,820,000, and pro forma net income per
share would have been $1.44 and $0.97 for 1997 and 1996, respectively.

     The Black-Scholes option pricing model was developed for use in estimating
the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly
subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Because
the Company's options have characteristics significantly different from those of
traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can
materially affect the fair value estimate, in the opinion of management, the
existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable measure of the fair value
of its options. The weighted average estimated fair value of employee stock
options granted during fiscal years 1997, 1996 and 1995 was $22.33, $17.35 and
$11.06 per share, respectively. The weighted average estimated fair value of
shares granted under the 1991 Purchase Plan during fiscal years 1997, 1996 and
1995 was $12.26, $9.25 and $5.04 per share, respectively.

     The effects on pro forma disclosures of applying SFAS No. 123 are not
necessarily representative of the effects on pro forma disclosures of future
years.


H. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

The Board of Directors in 1989 adopted the Parametric Technology Corporation
401(k) Savings Plan (the "Plan"), which is intended to qualify under Section
401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Plan covers
substantially all employees. Each employee may elect to contribute to the Plan,
through payroll deductions, up to 15% of his or her salary, subject to certain
limitations. The Company makes matching contributions on behalf of each
participating employee in an amount equal to 50% of the amount contributed by
the employee up to a maximum 10% employee contribution. The employee's
entitlement to such Company contributions vests at a rate of 25% per year of
service. For the fiscal years ended September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995, the
Company made matching contributions to the Plan which totaled $2,293,000,
$1,867,000 and $1,034,000, respectively.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the
ordinary course of business. Management currently believes that resolving these
matters will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial
position or its results of operations.


K. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On November 4, 1997, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement
to acquire Computervision Corporation ("Computervision") in a stock-for-stock
transaction. Based on the November 3, 1997 closing price of the Company's stock,
the aggregate equity value of the transaction is approximately $260,000,000. The
Company will also assume approximately $240,000,000 in debt from Computervision.

     Under the terms of the proposed transaction, each share of Computervision
common stock will be exchanged for .0866 shares of the Company's common stock
and Computervision will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The
transaction is intended to be accounted for as a pooling of interests and to
qualify as a tax-free reorganization. Subject to several conditions, including
approval of Computervision's shareholders, the transaction is expected to close
in the second quarter of fiscal 1998. The Company expects to recognize a non-
recurring charge of approximately $75,000,000 to $95,000,000 related to certain
merger-related, debt prepayment, consolidation and integration expenses during
the quarter in which the transaction closes.


L. SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

The Company is engaged in one industry segment: the development, marketing and
support of software products for the mechanical segment of the CAD/CAM/CAE
(computer-aided design, manufacturing and engineering) industry.

     The Company licenses products to customers on a worldwide basis. Sales and
marketing operations outside the United States are conducted principally through
the Company's foreign sales subsidiaries throughout Europe and Asia/Pacific.

     Intercompany sales and transfers between geographic areas are accounted for
at prices which are designed to be representative of unaffiliated party
transactions.

Report of Independent Accountants


TO THE STOCKHOLDERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
PARAMETRIC TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION:

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Parametric
Technology Corporation as of September 30, 1997 and 1996, and the related
consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the
years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. The financial statements of Parametric
Technology Corporation for the year ended September 30, 1995, were audited by
other auditors whose report dated October 19, 1995, except as to Notes F and G
which are as of November 17, 1995, expressed an unqualified opinion on those
statements.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the 1997 and 1996 financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Parametric Technology Corporation as of September 30, 1997 and 1996, and the
consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
