PARAMETRIC TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Parametric Technology Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries
(the "Company") (See Note 2), and have been prepared by the Company in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Certain
reclassifications have been made to the prior year's statements to conform with
the fiscal 1998 presentation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying
unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting
only of those of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of
the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the
dates and for the periods indicated. While the Company believes that the
disclosures presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, these
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and related notes included in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997.

The results of operations for the six-month period ended April 4, 1998 are not
necessarily indicative of the results expected for the remainder of the fiscal
year.

2. ACQUISITION AND NON-RECURRING CHARGES

Acquisition

On January 12, 1998, the Company completed its acquisition of Computervision
Corporation ("Computervision") by issuing approximately 5.8 million shares of
its common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of
Computervision. In addition, the Company reserved approximately 822,000 shares
of its common stock for outstanding Computervision stock options assumed. The
transaction is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization and has been
accounted for as a pooling of interests. Accordingly, the Company's consolidated
financial statements have been restated to include the accounts and operations
of Computervision for all periods presented.

Due to the differing year-ends of the Company and Computervision, financial
information for dissimilar fiscal years has been combined. Computervision's
results of operations for its fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 were combined
with the Company's results of operations for the fiscal year ended September 30,
1997. In order to conform Computervision's fiscal year end to the Company's
September 30, 1997 fiscal year end, Computervision's results of operations for
the three months ended December 31, 1997 were combined with the Company's
results of operations for the three months ended January 3, 1998. Balance sheet
information as of September 30, 1997 includes the financial position of
Computervision as of December 31, 1997 and the Company as of September 30, 1997.
Accordingly, Computervision's net loss of $20.2 million for the three-month
period ended December 31, 1997, which has been included in the combined
statements of income for both the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997 and the first
quarter of fiscal 1998, has been reflected as an adjustment to the Company's
beginning balance of fiscal 1998 retained earnings. Due to the change in
Computervision's year-end, Computervision's cash flow activity for the three-
month period ended December 31, 1997 has been shown as a separate component of
the cash flow statement.

Revenue and net income (loss) of the combined entities for the three-month
period prior to the merger and the corresponding period in the prior year are
presented in the following table. Prior to the merger, there were no
intercompany transactions between the two companies. The Computervision results
for fiscal 1997 include revenue and expenses from the hardware support services
business (other services), which was sold by Computervision on July 18, 1997.
The results presented in the following table do not reflect the non-recurring
charge or the extraordinary loss associated with the Computervision acquisition.

Non-Recurring Charges

In connection with the acquisition, the Company incurred a one-time charge of
approximately $77 million ($63 million after tax, or $0.22 per share) for
acquisition related integration, consolidation and merger costs during the
second quarter of fiscal 1998. The charge included approximately $18 million of
severance and termination benefits related to the elimination of approximately
450 positions at Computervision, $13 million for the write-off of assets, $8
million for related transaction costs, $18 million of contract costs associated
with revised estimates, $7 million for the closing of leased facilities and $13
million of other accruals. As of April 4, 1998, approximately $14 million of the
unutilized non-recurring charge is included in accrued compensation, $25 million
in other current liabilities and $15 million in other long-term liabilities. Of
the $23 million utilized during the quarter, $13 million were non-cash
transactions.

In connection with the acquisition and the resulting combination of
Computervision's balance sheet with the Company's, the consolidated balance
sheets presented herein include restructuring charges previously recorded by
Computervision. The components of the restructuring liability acquired included
$23 million in severance and termination benefits and $61 million in excess
facilities costs. As of April 4, 1998, approximately $6 million of the non-
recurring charge is included in accrued compensation, $15 million in other
current liabilities and $48 million in other long-term liabilities. All amounts
utilized during the quarter were cash transactions.

The Company currently anticipates that a substantial portion of the
restructuring costs will be incurred over the next twelve months, except for
certain long-term obligations, principally related to leased facilities.


3. EXTRAORDINARY LOSS

In connection with the Computervision merger, the Company assumed a revolving
note payable of $34.6 million and long-term debt obligations totaling $211.7
million. On January 13, 1998, the Company paid $34.9 million for settlement of
the outstanding balance on the revolving note payable plus accrued interest, and
related fees. On February 11, 1998, the Company prepaid Computervision's 11 3/8%
Senior Subordinated Notes at 101.96% of par, the 8% Computervision Debentures at
par and the 5 3/4% Prime Debentures at par. The total cash outlay for
settlement of the long-term obligations plus accrued interest and related fees
was $241.0 million. During the second quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company
incurred an extraordinary after-tax loss of $19.0 million related to the write-
off of deferred financing costs and other prepayment costs associated with this
debt.


4. EARNINGS PER SHARE

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share" ("EPS"), effective for fiscal periods ending after December 15, 1997. The
Company adopted this standard during the first quarter of fiscal 1998.
Accordingly, all prior period EPS data presented has been restated to conform to
the provisions of SFAS No. 128. Computation of basic and diluted EPS (as
adjusted for the Company's stock dividend, See Note 5), including a
reconciliation of the numerator and denominators used, is shown below.

Options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock of 4,107,000 and
4,125,000 for the three and six months ended April 4, 1998, respectively, and
1,962,000 for the six months ended March 29, 1997, were outstanding but were not
included in the computations of diluted EPS because the price of the options was
greater than the average market price of the common stock for the period
reported. For the three months ended March 29, 1997, approximately 17,028,000
options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock were excluded from the
computation of diluted earnings per share as the inclusion of these shares would
have been anti-dilutive.


5. COMMON STOCK DIVIDEND

On February 12, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors declared a one-for-one
stock dividend applicable to stockholders of record on February 27, 1998 and
payable March 6, 1998. The distribution on March 6, 1998 increased the number
of shares outstanding from approximately 134,930,000 to 269,860,000. Share and
per share data for all periods presented have been restated to reflect this
stock dividend.


6. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

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.

7.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On April 27, 1998, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement to
acquire ICEM Technologies, a German based division of Control Data Systems,
Inc., for $45 million in cash, subject to adjustment. Provided that certain
closing conditions are satisfied, the Company expects to complete its
acquisition during the third quarter of fiscal 1998. The acquisition will be
accounted for as a purchase. In connection with the acquisition, the Company
anticipates a one-time, non-cash charge for a portion of the purchase price
related to the write-off of in-process research and development will be taken
during the third quarter of fiscal 1998. Headquartered in Frankfurt, Germany,
ICEM Technologies provides advanced surfacing and reverse engineering software
tools used by body and styling engineers in the automotive and aerospace
industries.

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


Parametric Technology Corporation develops, markets and supports a family of
software products that automate the complete product development process within
the mechanical computer-aided design, manufacturing and engineering
("CAD/CAM/CAE") industry. The Company's products include applications in the
areas of industrial design; mechanical design; functional simulation; product
applications; information technology applications and implementation solutions.

Information provided by the Company, including information contained in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or by its spokespersons from time to time, may
contain forward-looking statements concerning projected financial performance,
acquisition integration efforts, market and industry segment growth, product
development and commercialization or other aspects of future operations. Such
statements are based on the assumptions and expectations of 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 those
discussed herein, may cause the Company's future results to differ materially
from those projected in any forward-looking statement. Important information
about such factors and the basis for those assumptions is discussed below and is
also contained in "Important Factors Regarding Future Results" included in the
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" section in the 1997 Annual Report to Stockholders and in the "Risk
Factors" section of the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 12, 1997, which sections are
incorporated herein by reference.


ACQUISITION

On January 12, 1998, the Company completed its acquisition of Computervision
Corporation ("Computervision") by issuing approximately 5.8 million shares of
its common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of
Computervision. In addition, the Company reserved approximately 822,000 shares
of its common stock for outstanding Computervision stock options assumed. The
transaction is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization and has been
accounted for as a pooling of interests. Accordingly, the Company's consolidated
financial statements have been restated to include the accounts and operations
of Computervision for all periods presented.

In connection with the acquisition, the Company incurred a one-time charge of
approximately $77 million ($63 million after tax, or $0.22 per share) for
acquisition related integration, consolidation and merger costs during the
second quarter of fiscal 1998. The charge included approximately $18 million of
severance and termination benefits related to the elimination of approximately
450 positions at Computervision, $13 million for the write-off of assets, $8
million for related transaction costs, $18 million of contract costs associated
with revised estimates, $7 million for the closing of leased facilities and $13
million of other accruals. As of April 4, 1998, approximately $14 million of the
unutilized non-recurring charge is included in accrued compensation, $25 million
in other current liabilities and $15 million in other long-term liabilities. Of
the $23 million utilized during the quarter, $13 million were non-cash
transactions.

In connection with the acquisition and the resulting combination of
Computervision's balance sheet with the Company's, the consolidated balance
sheets presented herein include restructuring charges previously recorded by
Computervision. The components of the restructuring liability acquired
included $23 million in severance and termination benefits and $61 million in
excess facilities costs. As of April 4, 1998, approximately $6 million of the
non-recurring charge is included in accrued compensation, $15 million in other
current liabilities and $48 million in other long-term liabilities. All amounts
utilized during the quarter were cash transactions.

The Company currently anticipates that a substantial portion of the
restructuring costs will be incurred over the next twelve months, except for
certain long-term obligations, principally related to leased facilities.

In connection with the Computervision merger, the Company assumed a revolving
note payable and long-term debt obligations. During the second quarter of fiscal
1998, the Company paid $275.7 million for settlement of the

8
outstanding note, debt obligations, accrued interest and related fees. During
the second quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company incurred an extraordinary after-
tax loss of $19.0 million related to the write-off of deferred financing costs
and other prepayment costs associated with this debt.

Other services revenue and costs reported in fiscal 1997 represent the hardware
support services business of Computervision which was sold in July 1997. Since
there was no activity associated with this business during fiscal 1998, the
results of this business in comparison to the current period have been excluded
from the following discussion where appropriate.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net income for the first six months of fiscal 1998, including the non-recurring
charge and the extraordinary after-tax loss in the second quarter, was
$26,191,000 compared to $8,797,000 for fiscal 1997. The Company reported a net
loss of $15,942,000 for the second quarter of 1998 compared to a net loss of
$6,710,000 for the second quarter of 1997. Excluding non-recurring charges and
the extraordinary after-tax loss, net income would have been $108,096,000 and
$65,963,000 for the six and three-month periods of 1998, respectively, compared
to $63,688,000 and $38,422,000 for the comparative 1997 periods. Excluding non-
recurring charges and the extraordinary after-tax loss, net income as a
percentage of total software revenue would have been 21% and 25% for the six and
three-month periods ended April 4, 1998, respectively, compared to 13% and 15%
for the corresponding 1997 periods.

Software revenue, including license and service revenues, was $264,071,000 and
$522,939,000 for the three-month and six-month periods ended April 4, 1998,
respectively. Software revenue increased 6% and 10% over the $249,600,000 and
$474,462,000 reported for the three-month and six-month periods ended March 29,
1997, respectively. The increase in total software revenue during the three and
six-month periods ended April 4, 1998 reflects the continued demand for the
Company's products and services among both existing customers and first-time
buyers, and the Company's ongoing investment in the expansion of its worldwide
direct sales force.

License revenue, which is derived from the sale of the Company's software
products, was $162,558,000 for the three-month period and $320,816,000 for the
six-month period ended April 4, 1998. Compared to the corresponding three and
six-month periods of fiscal 1997, license revenue decreased 4% for the second
quarter of fiscal 1998 but increased slightly on a year-to-date basis. The
Company licensed 8,445 and 16,716 seats of software in the three-month and six-
month periods ended April 4, 1998, respectively, a decrease of 7% and 1% from
9,066 and 16,904 seats of software in the comparable periods in fiscal 1997. A
seat of software generally consists of various software products configured to
serve the needs of a single end user. The decrease in license revenue and seats
for the three month period is due to continued weakness in the Company's
operations in the Asia Pacific region and the inclusion of the results of
Computervision's performance, which declined over the reported periods.

Service revenue is derived from the sale of software maintenance contracts and
the performance of training and consulting services. Service revenue was
$101,513,000 and $202,123,000 for the three-month and six-month periods ended
April 4, 1998, respectively, an increase of 25% and 30% over the comparable
periods in fiscal 1997. Service revenue as a percentage of total software
revenue increased to 38% and 39% for the three and six-month periods ended April
4, 1998, respectively, compared to 32% and 33% for the corresponding periods of
fiscal 1997. The increase in service revenue and service revenue as a percentage
of total software revenue is a result of the growth in the Company's installed
customer base and the increased training and consulting services performed for
these customers.

The Company derived approximately 55% of total software revenue from sales to
international customers during both the three-month and six-month periods ended
April 4, 1998, compared with 59% for the same periods in fiscal 1997. The
decrease in the percentage of the software revenue derived from international
sales is primarily attributable to weakness in the Company's Asian results,
especially in Japan. The Company has increased its investment in this area in
the past six months and believes that this region will make a contribution to
revenue growth. The timing of this contribution, however, is uncertain given
the economic difficulties in the region. The decrease in the percentage of the
software revenue derived from international sales was also attributable to the
strengthening of the dollar in relation to the major European and Asian
currencies.

9
The Company anticipates that total software revenue will increase during the
remainder of fiscal 1998 and expects to begin shipping its new Windchill product
line, web-based technology in the area of enterprise information, in late June
1998. However, the rate of continued software revenue growth in the remainder of
fiscal 1998 depends upon the Company's ability to successfully generate and fill
current software license orders, effectively implement the measures taken to
strengthen results in Japan, adequately manage exposure to foreign currency
movements, attract and retain skilled personnel, and deliver timely product
enhancements. Additionally, performance during the remainder of fiscal 1998
could also be affected by the efforts to integrate Computervision's operations
with those of the Company, the success of those integration efforts, the timely
introduction of the new Windchill product and its market acceptance and the
ongoing economic uncertainties in the Asia Pacific region. Also, there can be no
assurance that quarterly software revenue growth rates in general or for
particular geographical areas will be comparable to those achieved in prior
periods.

As previously discussed, the Company incurred a non-recurring charge of
approximately $77 million for acquisition related integration, consolidation and
merger costs during the second quarter of fiscal 1998. The charge included the
elimination of approximately 450 positions at Computervision, the write-off of
assets, related transaction costs, contract costs and the closing of several
leased facilities. Accordingly, certain expenses incurred during fiscal 1998
reflect the reduction in costs attributable to this non-recurring charge. The
comparative fiscal 1997 period reflects a restructuring charge of $45 million
taken by Computervision prior to the merger for severance and termination
benefits for approximately 250 positions and excess leased facilities which have
been included in the combined results of the Company due to the pooling-of-
interests accounting treatment.

Cost of license revenue consists of costs associated with reproducing software,
printing user manuals, royalties, packaging, shipping and the amortization of
capitalized computer software costs. Cost of service revenue includes the costs
associated with training and consulting personnel, such as salaries and related
costs and travel, and the costs related to software maintenance, including costs
incurred for customer support personnel and the release of maintenance updates.
Combined, the cost of license and service revenues decreased to $37,553,000 for
the three-month period and increased to $78,958,000 for the six-month period
ended April 4, 1998 from $38,893,000 and $75,307,000 for the corresponding
periods in fiscal 1997, respectively. Total cost of software revenue as a
percentage of total software revenue decreased to 14% and 15% for the three and
six-month periods ended April 4, 1998 compared with 16% for each of the
corresponding periods in fiscal 1997. Cost of license revenue decreased
primarily due to a decrease in royalties associated with license revenue. This
decrease was offset by an increase in cost of service revenue resulting
primarily from growth in the staffing necessary to generate and support
increased worldwide service revenue and provide ongoing quality customer support
to the Company's increasing installed base.

Sales and marketing expenses primarily include salaries, sales commissions,
travel and facility costs. Sales and marketing expenses decreased to
$92,897,000 and $189,190,000 for the three and six-month periods ended April 4,
1998, respectively, from $99,372,000 and $192,777,000 for the corresponding
periods in fiscal 1997. These costs decreased as a percentage of total software
revenue to 35% and 36% for the three and six-month periods ended April 4, 1998,
respectively, compared with 40% and 41% for the comparable periods of fiscal
1997. The decrease is primarily attributable to a reduction in work force and
elimination of excess facility costs associated with the acquisition of
Computervision. Notwithstanding the reduction in workforce, total sales and
marketing headcount increased to 2,364 at April 4, 1998, an increase of 5% from
2,251 at March 29, 1997. 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 increasing its installed base and
expanding worldwide acceptance for its products. The continued growth in the
worldwide sales and marketing organization depends upon the Company's ability to
attract and retain highly skilled technical, managerial and sales personnel.

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. Research and development expenses were $20,717,000 and
$46,031,000 for the three and six-month periods ended April 4, 1998,
respectively, compared to $22,886,000 and $45,323,000 for the corresponding
periods in fiscal 1997. On a year-to-date basis, research and development
expenses decreased from 10% of total software revenue for the first six months
of fiscal 1997 to 9% for the same period in fiscal 1998. Similarly, the second
quarter research and development expenses as a percentage of total software
revenue decreased from 9% in fiscal 1997 to 8% in fiscal 1998. The decreases
were primarily attributable to the impact of workforce reductions and

10
write-offs associated with the acquisition of Computervision. The Company
continues to make investments in research and development.

General and administrative expenses include the costs of corporate, finance,
information technology, human resources and administrative functions of the
Company. These expenses decreased to $12,589,000 and $28,318,000 for the three-
month and six-month periods ended April 4, 1998, respectively, from $15,410,000
and $30,957,000 for the corresponding periods in fiscal 1997. The decreases
were primarily attributable to the impact of workforce reductions and write-offs
associated with the acquisition of Computervision. As a percentage of total
software revenue, general and administrative expenses decreased to 5% for both
the three-month and six-month periods ended April 4, 1998, respectively,
compared to 6% and 7% for the corresponding periods of fiscal 1997.

Other expense, net, includes interest income, interest expense and costs
associated with managing the Company's foreign exchange exposure including
foreign currency gains and losses. Other expense, net, decreased to $371,000
and $6,249,000 for the three and six-month periods ended April 4, 1998,
respectively, compared with $6,048,000 and $11,214,000 for the corresponding
periods in fiscal 1997. The decrease is primarily attributable to reduced
interest costs associated with Computervision's debt which the Company paid
during the second quarter of fiscal 1998.

The Company's effective tax rate for the three and six-month periods ended
April 4, 1998 was 87% and 54%, respectively, compared with 131% and 86% for the
same periods in fiscal 1997. The effective tax rate for all periods was
significantly impacted by the non-deductibility of certain expenses included in
the non-recurring charge and the impact of the pre-acquisition operating
losses of Computervision which are included in the combined results. Excluding
these items, the Company's effective tax rate for the second quarter was 34%.

The number of worldwide employees decreased 7% to 4,547 at April 4, 1998
compared with 4,898 at March 29, 1997, due primarily to the reduction in
workforce associated with the Computervision acquisition.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of April 4, 1998, the Company had $255,443,000 of cash and cash equivalents
and $182,743,000 of investments. Net cash provided by operating activities,
consisting primarily of net income from operations before depreciation and
amortization and changes in working capital, was $92,762,000 for the six-month
period ended April 4, 1998, compared with $118,192,000 for the corresponding
period in fiscal 1997. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was
primarily attributable to payments associated with the extraordinary loss and
non-recurring charges as well as an increase in other current assets principally
associated with the increase of software maintenance billings related to
deferred revenue.

Net cash provided by investing activities totaled $207,249,000 for the six-month
period ended April 4, 1998 compared to a use of $63,593,000 for the first six
months of fiscal 1997. The increase is principally due to net proceeds of
$217,745,000 from sales of investments, which were used to pay debt, interest
and related fees of $275,694,000 assumed in connection with the Computervision
merger. The Company acquired $10,496,000 of capital equipment, consisting
primarily of computer equipment, software, and office equipment to meet the
needs resulting from the growth in employee headcount and increased investment
in information technologies.

Financing activities for the first six months of fiscal 1998 used $223,991,000
compared to $59,830,000 for the same period of fiscal 1997. The principal
financing use during fiscal 1998 was the $275,694,000 payoff of debt, interest
and related fees associated with the acquisition of Computervision. During
fiscal 1997, the Company used $95,020,000 for the repurchase of its common
stock. During fiscal 1998, the Company suspended repurchases of common stock
and the Board of Directors' subsequently rescinded the Company's stock
repurchase program in anticipation of the Computervision acquisition. Financing
uses during both periods were offset by proceeds from the issuance of common
stock under the Company's stock plans.

On April 27, 1998, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement to
acquire ICEM Technologies, a German based division of Control Data Systems,
Inc., for $45 million in cash, subject to adjustment. Provided that certain
closing conditions are satisfied, the Company expects to complete its
acquisition during the third quarter of fiscal 1998. The acquisition will be
accounted for as a purchase. In connection with the acquisition, the Company

11
anticipates a one-time, non-cash charge for a portion of the purchase price
related to the write-off of in-process research and development will be taken
during the third quarter of fiscal 1998. Headquartered in Frankfurt, Germany,
ICEM Technologies provides advanced surfacing and reverse engineering software
tools used by body and styling engineers in the automotive and aerospace
industries.

The Company believes that existing cash and short-term investment balances,
together with cash generated from operations and issuance of the Company's
common stock under stock plans, will be sufficient to meet the Company's
currently projected working capital, financing and capital expenditure
requirements, including the cost of the proposed acquisition of ICEM
Technologies, through at least fiscal 1998.


YEAR 2000 COMPUTER SYSTEMS COMPLIANCE

Concerns have been widely expressed regarding the inability of certain computer
programs to process date information beyond year 1999. These concerns focus on
the impact of the Year 2000 problem on business operations and the potential
costs associated with identifying and addressing the problem. The Company is in
the process of evaluating and taking steps to deal with the potential impact of
this problem in areas under its control, in particular its products and its
administrative and business systems.

Based on its review to date, the Company believes that its own products are
largely "Year 2000 compliant." Legacy systems historically sold by
Computervision may in some cases not be completely compliant. The Company is in
the process of making modifications to currently offered legacy systems to bring
them into compliance with Year 2000 requirements and anticipates that these
corrections will be completed by the end of calendar 1998. The Company is in the
process of upgrading its administrative and business systems and does not
anticipate any material problems. The Company has commenced a program to survey
all major suppliers of such systems to determine the status and schedule for
their Year 2000 compliance. Where it believes that a particular supplier's
situation poses unacceptable risks, the Company plans to identify an alternative
source.

Costs incurred in the compliance effort will be expensed as incurred. While the
Company's Year 2000 compliance evaluation is not yet complete, the Company does
not at this time foresee a material impact on its business or operating results
from the Year 2000 problem. The Company cannot, of course, predict the nature
or materiality of the impact on its operations or operating results of
noncompliance by parties outside its control.
