                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          June 30, 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 and June 30, 1997 
financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 
1997 presentation.  Operating results for the six month period 
ended June 30, 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 Loss Per Share of Common Stock

Net 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 loss per share of common stock 
is 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-


<PAGE>
Page  9

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 second quarter of 1997 were 
$5.0 million, which represented a decrease of 18.7% over second 
quarter 1996 total revenues of $6.2 million.  For the first six 
months of 1997, total revenues were $9.2 million, or a decrease 
of 27.4%, over 1996 total revenues of $12.6 million for the same 
period.  Revenues for the second quarter of 1997 increased over 
the first quarter of 1997 revenues of $4.1 million by 22.1%, or 
$911,000 due to new business in the quarter, increased focus on 
third party software sales, and increased modifications revenues.

International revenues were $889,000 in the second quarter of 
1997, which represented a decrease of 13.9% over second quarter 
1996 international revenues of $1.0 million.  International 
revenues represented 17.7% of total revenues for the second 
quarter of 1997 compared to 16.7% in the same period of 1996. The 
decrease in international revenues from 1996 to 1997 is due to 
fewer new international sales in the second quarter of 1997 
compared to 1996.


Software License Fees

The second quarter of 1997 software license fee revenues of $1.8 
million represented a decrease of 30.4% from the second quarter 
of 1996 software license fee revenues of $2.6 million.  Second 
quarter of 1997 license fee revenue increased by 39.7% over the 
first quarter of 1997 license fee revenues of $1.3 million.


Services and Maintenance

Services and maintenance revenues decreased 8.8% to $3.2 million 

<PAGE>
Page  10

in the second quarter of 1997, down from $3.5 million in the 


second quarter of 1996.  The components of services and 
maintenance revenues as a percentage of total services and 
maintenance revenues in the second quarter of 1997 were 34.5% for 
software modifications, 38.3% for professional services and 27.2% 
for maintenance agreements compared with 50.2%, 31.2% and 18.6%, 
respectively, in the second quarter of 1996.  Second quarter 
services and maintenance revenues increased over the first 
quarter of 1997 of$2.8 million by 12.2%, or $344,000.  The 
Company believes that the increase in professional services and 
maintenance revenue as a percentage of total services and 
maintenance revenues is attributable to the large number of 
implementations of the Catalyst WMS in the second quarter.  The 
decrease in modification revenues as a percentage of total 
services and maintenance revenues is due to fewer modifications 
to the Catalyst WMS performed during second quarter of 1997 
versus 1996.  The Company expects this trend to continue as 
future sales lead to implementations of the Catalyst WMS with 
fewer modifications.


Hardware and Other

Hardware and other revenues have not been a material percentage 
of total revenues in recent periods; however, this may change in 
future periods due to the Company's decision to sell selected 
hardware items later this year to meet certain customers' demand
for a "turn key" solution.  The Company does not expect to 
inventory hardware but, rather, expects to sell hardware on a 
commission-only basis when margins so warrant.


Cost of Software License Fees

In the second quarter of 1997, cost of software license fees 
increased by over 450% to $188,000 from $33,000 in the same 
period of 1996.  Year to date cost of software license fees 
increased 143.6% from $117,000 in 1996 to $285,000 in 1997.  
This increase in cost of software license fees results 
from the Company's increased focus on sales of third party 
database software.  The Company expects this cost to remain 
relatively consistent in future periods.

Cost of Services and Maintenance

Cost of services and maintenance increased by $304,000, or 9.9%, 
in the second quarter of 1997 compared to the second quarter of 
1996.  Part of that increase resulted from a $100,000 accrual for 
estimated future project costs, a new accoutning practice in the 
second quarter of 1997.  Without this accrual, cost of services 
and maintenance for the second quarter of 1997 would have been 
$3.3 million, an increase of 6.7% over the same period of 1996.  
Year to date cost of services and maintenance increased 5.1%, or 
$306,000, to $6.3 million in 1997, from $6.0 million for the same 
period of 1996. There were 166 employees in services and 
maintenance at June 30, 1997 compared to 170 employees at June 
30, 1996.


Product Development

Product development expenses as a percentage of total revenues 
for the second quarter of 1997 decreased to 12.2% from 17.0% in 
the second quarter of 1996.  Actual product development expenses 
were $615,000 in the second quarter of 1997 compared to $1.1 
million in the second quarter of 1996, representing a decrease of 
41.5%.  The decrease in product development costs is due to a 
smaller product development staff, resulting from the 
reorganization which occurred in the first quarter of 1997; this 
may change in future periods as the Company continues to examine
its operations. 

The Company continues to expense all software development costs 
as product development expenditures as incurred; however, the 
Company expects that this may change in future periods.  In past 
years, the Company produced new releases of Catalyst WMS on an 
annual basis; the Company is presently transitioning to a point 
release development philosophy, which could lengthen the 
release cycle of Catalyst WMS and require the Company to 
capitalize development costs in future periods. The product 
development staff consisted of 30 employees at June 30, 1997 and 
52 employees at June 30, 1996.


Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenues 
for the second quarter of 1997 increased to 27.2% from 20.8% in 

<PAGE>
Page  12

the second quarter of 1996.  Actual sales and marketing expenses 
were $1.4 million for the second quarter of 1997 and $1.3 million 
for the second quarter of 1996.  The increase in sales and 
marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenues in the 
second quarter of 1997 is due to lower revenues in the current 
quarter.  There were 33 and 32 sales and marketing employees at 
June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996, respectively.


General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total 
revenues for the second quarter of 1997 increased to 19.9% from 
10.7% in the second quarter of 1996.  Actual general and 
administrative expenses increased 50.9% to $1.0 million in the 
second quarter of 1997 from $665,000 in the second quarter of   
1996.  Included in general and administrative expenses is  
$200,000 attributable to a reserve for doubtful accounts and 
$67,000 attributable to one-time miscellaneous charges.  Without 
these charges, second quarter 1997 general and administrative 
expenses would have been $737,000, or a 10.8% increase over the 
same period of 1996 expenses of $665,000.  There were 21 and 19 
employees in general and administrative roles at June 30, 1997 
and June 30, 1996, respectively.


Other Income and Expense

Interest income for the second quarter of 1997 was $62,000, 
offset by $8,000 of interest and other expenses compared to 
$290,000 of interest income offset by $47,000 of interest and 
other expenses in the second quarter of 1996.  The decrease in 
interest income was due to lower cash levels in the second 
quarter of 1997 compared to the second quarter of 1996; the
reduction in cash levels year over year is due, in part, to the
repurchase by the Company of its stock during teh year to year 
to year period, teh cost of which exceeded $8.75 million.


Income Tax Expense

No federal or state tax expense was recorded for the quarter or 
six month period ended June 30, 1997 due to the Company's federal 
and state net operating loss position.  No deferred tax expense 
has been recorded in the quarter or six month period ended June 
30, 1997 as the Company continues to record a valuation allowance 
to reserve in full for the net deferred tax assets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company experienced a net decrease in cash and cash 
equivalents of $4.2 million in the first half of 1997 compared to 
a net decrease of $4.1 million for the same period of 1996.  In 
1997, cash of $1.1 million was used to repurchase approximately 
226,000 shares of the Company's common stock from its former 
president and chief executive officer.

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the second quarter of 
1997 were $5.2 million, compared to $5.4 million at the end of 
the first quarter of 1997.

The $5.2 million in cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 1997 
included short-term investments, which consisted primarily of 
money market funds and commercial paper with maturities of less 
than three months.  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 June 30, 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, 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.
