                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          March 31, 1997
                           (Unaudited)



1.  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been 
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles for interim financial information and with the 
instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. 
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and 
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles 
for fiscal year end financial statements.  In the opinion of 
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring 
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been 
included.  Certain amounts in the 1996 financial statements have 
been reclassified to conform to the 1997 presentation.  Operating 
results for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 are not 
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for 
the year ended December 31, 1997.  For further information, refer 
to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the 
Catalyst International, Inc. annual report on Form 10-KSB for the 
year ended December 31, 1996.

2. Net Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock

Net income (loss) per share of common stock is computed based on 
the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding 
for each period presented.  Net income (loss) per share of common 
stock also includes the dilutive effect of stock options 
calculated using the "treasury stock method."

Item 2.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

The following discussion contains statements identified as "the 
Company expects" or "the Company believes" or otherwise stated as 
the Company's predictions for the future, which are forward-
looking statements and which involve certain risk factors. The 
Company's actual results may differ materially from the results 
discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might 
cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, those 
herein identified, those discussed in the Company's Registration 
Statement on Form SB-2, filed with the SEC and other factors 
identified from time to time as risks in the Company's reports 
filed with the SEC.

Total Revenues

The Company's total revenues for the first quarter of 1997 were 
$4.1 million, which represented a decrease of 36% over first 
quarter 1996 total revenues of $6.4 million.  The decrease in 
total revenues for the three month period is due, in part, to the 
conclusion of the revenue stream from the larger than usual 
number of implementations which occurred in the first quarter of 
1997 and were not completely replaced with license fee revenue 
from new sales.

International revenues were $1.1 million in the first quarter of 
1997, which represented a decrease of 15.4% over first quarter 
1996 international revenues of $1.3 million.  International 
revenues represented 26.9% of total revenues for the first 
quarter of 1997 compared to 19.7% in the same period of 1996. The 
decrease in international revenues from 1996 to 1997 is due to 
fewer new international sales in the first quarter of 1997 
compared to 1996; the increase in international revenues as a 
percentage of total year to date revenues is due, in general, to 
the lower revenues experienced in the US during the quarter.


Software License Fees

The first quarter of 1997 software license fee revenues of $1.3 
million represented a decrease of 60.2% from the first quarter of 
1996 software license fee revenues of $3.3 million, attributable 
to decreased license fee revenues for Catalyst WMS in the first 
quarter of 1997.  Based on the large number of implementations in 
the first quarter ended March 31, 1997 the Company believes that 
Release 6.0 was well received in the marketplace; in addition, 
based on sales of Release 7.0 in the first quarter, the Company 
believes that Catalyst WMS Release 7.0 was well received in the 
market.

Services and Maintenance

Services and maintenance revenues decreased 10.6% to $2.8 million 
in the first quarter of 1997, down from $3.2 million in the first 
quarter of 1996.  The components of services and maintenance
revenues as a percentage of total revenues in the first quarter 
of 1997 were 17.1% for software modifications, 33.1% for 
professional services and 18.3% for maintenance agreements 
compared with 21.1%, 18.4% and 9.7%, respectively, in the first 
quarter of 1996.  Services and maintenance revenues decreased in 
the first quarter due to the decreased number of modifications 
required by new customers, the combined effect of an increased 
number of Catalyst WMS implementations, rollouts of additional 
sites on corporate licenses and upgrades to new releases of 
Catalyst WMS and renewals of maintenance agreements.


Hardware and Other

Hardware and other revenues do not represent a material 
percentage of total revenues in the first quarter of either 1997 
or 1996.  The Company has no immediate plans to resell hardware 
but may consider doing so in future periods to meet changing 
customer demand.


Cost of Software License Fees

In the first quarter of 1997 cost of software license fees 
increased 15.5% to $97,000 in 1997 from $84,000 in the same 
period of 1996.  The Company continues to expense all software 
development costs as product development expenditures as 
incurred.  This may change in future periods in the event that 
the Company changes to a point release development philosophy, 
which could lead to the lengthening of the period of time between 
major releases of Catalyst WMS.


Cost of Services and Maintenance

There was no material change in cost of services and maintenance, 
which was $2.9 million for each of the first quarters of 1997 and 
1996. The cost of services and maintenance stayed relatively 
constant notwithstanding the fact that the number of employees 
has grown.  There were 165 employees in services and maintenance 
at March 31, 1997 compared to 150 employees at March 31, 1996.


<PAGE>  10

Product Development

Product development expenses as a percentage of total revenues 
for the first quarter of 1997 increased to 22.9% from 14.9% in 
the first quarter of 1996.  Actual product development expenses 
were $943,000 in the first quarter of 1997 compared to $954,000 
in the first quarter of 1996, representing a decrease of 1.2%.  
The decrease in product development costs is primarily due to the 
reorganization which occurred in the first quarter of 1997, the 
effects of which may also be seen in future periods.  The product 
development staff consisted of 55 employees at March 31, 1997 and 
March 31, 1996.


Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenues 
for the first quarter of 1997 increased to 30.3% from 18.7% in 
the first quarter of 1996.  Actual sales and marketing expenses 
remained consistent at $1.2 million in the first quarters of 1997 
and 1996.  The increase in sales and marketing expenses as a 
percentage of total revenues in the first quarter of 1997 is due 
to an increase in international sales and marketing efforts 
resulting from the addition of sales and marketing employees in 
the UK and the establishment of sales offices in Brazil and 
France.  There were 28 and 23 sales and marketing employees at 
March 31, 1997 and March 31, 1996, respectively.


General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total 
revenues for the first quarter of 1997 increased to 30.7% from 
8.9% in the first quarter of 1996.  Actual general and 
administrative expenses increased 122.3% to $1.3 million in the 
first quarter of 1997 from $570,000 in the first quarter of 1996.  
There were 26 and 20 employees in general and administrative 
roles at March 31, 1997 and March 31, 1996, respectively.  The 
increase in general and administrative expenses is due to 
enhancement of the Company's infrastructure, accomplished in 
fiscal 1996, the reorganization which occurred in the first 
quarter of 1997 and a change in department classifications which 
resulted in the reflection of internal Information Technology 
expenses as well as all executive officer salary expenses in 
General and Administrative expenses.

Other Income and Expense

Interest income for the first quarter of 1997 was $78,000, offset 
by $4,000 of interest and other expenses compared to $261,000 of 
interest income offset by $9,000 of interest and other expenses 
in the first quarter of 1996.  The decrease in interest income 
was due to lower cash levels in the first quarter of 1997 as the 
Company's operating cash needs increased.  Interest income was 
higher in the first quarter of 1996 as a result of the investment 
of the proceeds from the Company's initial public offering in 
November 1995.


Income Tax Expense

No Federal and state tax expense was recorded for the quarter 
ended March 31, 1997 due to the Company's federal and state net 
operating loss position.  No deferred tax expense has been 
recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 1997 as the Company 
continues to record a valuation allowance to reserve for the net 
deferred tax assets.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash used in operating activities was $2.6 million for the 
three months ended March 31, 1997, compared to $972,000 for the 
three months ended March 31, 1996.  The increase in net cash used 
by operations in the first three months of 1997 from the first 
three months of 1996 is due primarily to the net loss incurred 
for the quarter ended March 31, 1997.

The decrease in cash used for investing activities from $642,000 
during the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $253,000 during 
the three months ended March 31, 1997 was due to decreased 
equipment and leasehold improvement purchases.

Financing activities used cash of $1.1 million in the first three 
months of 1997 compared to $117,000 in the first three months of 
1996.  The increase in cash used for financing activities is due 
to the repurchase of approximately 226,000 shares of the 
Company's common stock from the Company's former president and 
chief executive officer for $1.1 million.

<PAGE>  12

As of March 31, 1997, the Company had $5.4 million in cash, cash 
equivalents and short-term investments, which consist primarily 
of money market funds and commercial paper.  In addition, the 
Company has a line of credit (the "Revolving Credit Facility") 
with Bank One, West Bend, Wisconsin of $1.0 million.  As of March 
31, 1997,  there were no amounts outstanding under the Revolving 
Credit Facility.

Longer term cash requirements, other than normal operating 
expenses, are anticipated for the development of new software 
products and enhancement of existing products; the financing of 
anticipated growth; potential repurchases of the Company's common 
stock; and possible acquisition of software products or 
technologies complementary to the Company's business.  The 
Company believes that its existing cash, cash equivalents, short-
term investments and available line of credit, along with 
anticipated cash generated from operations will be sufficient to 
satisfy its cash requirements for at least the next 12 months.
