NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1996
(UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by ANSYS, Inc. (the "Company") in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information for commercial and industrial companies and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. The financial statements as of and for the three months ended June 30, 1996 should be read in conjunction with the Company's Consolidated financial statements (and notes thereto) included in the Company's Form S-1 dated June 20, 1996 which includes the year ended December 31, 1995. Accordingly, the accompanying statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements have been included, and all adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Operating results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1996.
2. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
Effective June 20, 1996, the Company completed its initial public offering of 3,500,000 shares of Common Stock at $13.00 per share. The net proceeds (after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses) totaled $41.1 million and were used as follows: i) the repayment of approximately $18.5 million of senior secured indebtedness (the "1994 Loan"), including accrued and unpaid interest; ii) the repayment of $17.5 million of 10% Subordinated Notes (the "Subordinated Notes"); and iii) the redemption of $5.1 million of Redeemable Preferred Stock, including accumulated dividends.
3. EXTRAORDINARY ITEM
The Company incurred an extraordinary item for the three months ended June 30, 1996 of $343,000, net of income tax benefit. In connection with the acquisition of its business in 1994 (the "1994 Acquisition"), the Company capitalized $925,000 of debt issuance costs and $179,000 associated with an interest rate cap agreement, the unamortized portion of which totaled $552,866 at June 20, 1996. As a result of the early repayment of the 1994 Loan with a portion of the net proceeds from its initial public offering in June 1996, the Company has written-off the unamortized balance as an extraordinary non-cash charge in the second quarter of 1996.

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors ANSYS, Inc. and Subsidiaries
We have reviewed the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of ANSYS, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1996, the unaudited statements of consolidated income for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, and consolidated cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, which are included in ANSYS's Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of ANSYS's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the consolidated balance sheet of ANSYS, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995, and the related statements of consolidated income, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein). In our report dated April 19, 1996, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1995, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
ANSYS, Inc. (the "Company") is a leading international supplier of analysis and engineering software for optimizing the design of new products. The Company is committed to providing the most open and flexible analysis solutions to suit customer requirements for engineering software in today's competitive marketplace. In addition, the Company partners with leading design software suppliers to develop state-of-the-art CAD integrated products. A global network of ANSYS Support Distributors provides sales, support and training for customers. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the attached unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the periods ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995 and with the Company's audited financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 1996 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1995
Revenue. The Company's revenue increased 21.4% for the 1996 quarter to $11.3 million from $9.3 million for the 1995 quarter. This increase was attributable principally to increased international and domestic sales of paid-up licenses and increased maintenance and services revenue, both of which resulted primarily from the Company's increased marketing emphasis, market acceptance of new product releases and broader customer usage of maintenance and support services in response to accelerated frequency of product releases and the Company's increased emphasis on marketing its maintenance services.
Software licenses revenue increased 12.1% for the 1996 quarter to $8.8 million from $7.9 million for the 1995 quarter, resulting from increased sales of paid- up licenses in international and domestic markets. Revenue from sales of paid- up licenses increased 33.2% for the 1996 quarter to $4.4 million from $3.3 million for the 1995 quarter. The Company also experienced a 3.1% decrease in lease license revenue to $4.4 million for the 1996 quarter from $4.6 million for the 1995 quarter. Maintenance and service revenue increased 72.0% for the 1996 quarter to $2.5 million from $1.5 million for the 1995 quarter, as a result of a substantial increase in the sale of paid-up licenses, broader customer usage of maintenance and support services and reduction in the warranty period.
Of the Company's total revenue for the 1996 quarter, approximately 57.5% and 42.5% were attributable to international and domestic sales, as compared to 55.7% and 44.3% for the 1995 quarter.
Cost of Sales and Gross Profit. The Company's total cost of sales increased 14.2 % to $1.5 million, or 13.6% of total revenue, for the 1996 quarter from $1.3 million, or 14.5% of total revenue, for the 1995 quarter. The Company's cost of sales for software license revenue decreased 19.6% for the 1996 quarter to $816,000, or 9.2% of software license revenue, from $1,015,000, or 12.9% of software license revenue, for the 1995 quarter. The decrease was due primarily to a reduction of expenses through lower headcount and cost controls and implementation of a more efficient multi-platform development environment for the Company's product releases and was partially offset by increased royalty fees. The Company's cost of sales for maintenance and service revenue was $724,000 and $334,000, or 28.9% and 22.9% of maintenance and service revenue, for the 1996 and 1995 quarters, respectively, reflecting the substantial increase in maintenance and service revenue in the 1996 quarter.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company's gross profit increased 22.7% to $9.8 million for the 1996 quarter from $8.0 million for the 1995 quarter.
Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expenses increased 33.0% for the 1996 quarter to $2.3 million, or 20.1% of total revenue, from $1.7 million, or 18.3% of total revenue, for the 1995 quarter. This growth was attributable principally to increased personnel costs, including costs associated with increased headcount and compensation expenses related to building a sales and marketing organization, as well as increased commissions associated with increased revenue.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses increased 14.9% for the 1996 quarter to $2.3 million, or 20.7% of total revenue, from $2.0 million, or 21.9% of total revenue, for the 1995 quarter. This increase resulted primarily from employment of additional staff and independent contractors to develop and enhance the Company's products, including a dedicated team working on the development of the Company's DesignSpace product, costs associated with quality assurance, and equipment costs to implement an enhanced multi-platform development environment.
Amortization. Amortization expense was $2.7 million in the second quarter in both 1996 and 1995. This amortization expense resulted from the 1994 Acquisition and relates primarily to intangible assets, including goodwill, which are being amortized from the date of the 1994 Acquisition, March 14, 1994. The unamortized portion of the goodwill and capitalized software acquired in connection with the 1994 Acquisition will be fully amortized in the first quarter of 1997.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased 20.3% to $1.8 million, or 15.9% of total revenue, for the 1996 quarter from $1.5 million, or 16.1% of total revenue, for the 1995 quarter. The Company has maintained a relatively stable headcount while adding administrative support services, such as computerized order fulfillment and corporate-wide information technology systems, to support its future operations. Additionally, accounting and legal expenses have increased due to the support of the Company's increased level of operations.
Interest. Interest expense decreased 23.5% for the 1996 quarter to $781,000 from $1,021,000 for the 1995 quarter. This decrease was attributable to a reduction in the outstanding principal of the 1994 Loan, as well as a reduction in the effective interest rate from period to period. Interest expense will decrease substantially commencing in the third quarter of 1996 due to the early repayment of the 1994 Loan and the Subordinated Notes with the net proceeds from the initial public offering in June 1996.
Income Tax Benefit. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The Company's effective rate of taxation was 37.2% for the 1996 quarter, as compared to 33.3% for the 1995 quarter. These percentages are less than the federal and state combined statutory rate of approximately 39.0% due primarily to the utilization of research and experimentation credits.
Net Loss. The Company's net loss before extraordinary item decreased in the second quarter of 1996 to $41,000 from a net loss of $604,000 in the 1995 quarter. The net loss including the extraordinary item in the second quarter of 1996 was $384,000.
Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1995
Revenue. The Company's revenue increased 25.7% for the 1996 six months to $22.1 million from $17.6 million for the 1995 six months. This increase was attributable principally to increased international and domestic sales of paid- up licenses and increased maintenance and services revenue, both of which resulted primarily from the Company's increased marketing emphasis, market acceptance of new product releases and broader customer usage of maintenance and support services in response to accelerated frequency of product releases and the Company's increased emphasis on marketing its maintenance services.
Software license revenue increased 14.9% for the 1996 six months to $17.2 million from $15.0 million for the 1995 six months, resulting principally from increased sales of paid-up licenses in international and
domestic markets. Revenue from sales of paid-up licenses increased 31.3% for the 1996 six months to $8.0 million from $6.1 million for the 1995 six months. The Company also experienced a 3.7% increase in lease license revenue to $9.2 million for the 1996 six months from $8.9 million for the 1995 six months. Maintenance and service revenue increased 88.3% for the 1996 six months to $4.9 million from $2.6 million for the 1995 six months, as a result of a substantial increase in the sale of paid-up licenses, broader customer usage of maintenance and support services and reduction in the warranty period.
Of the Company's total revenue for the 1996 six months, approximately 53.7% and 46.3% respectively, were attributable to international and domestic sales, as compared to 55.0% and 45.0% respectively, for the 1995 six months.
Cost of Sales and Gross Profit. The Company's total cost of sales increased 6.1 % to $2.7 million, or 12.4% of total revenue, for the 1996 six months from $2.6 million, or 14.7% of total revenue, for the 1995 six months. The Company's cost of sales for software license revenue decreased 24.8% for the 1996 six months to $1.5 million, or 8.6% of software license revenue, from $2.0 million, or 13.1% of software license revenue, for the 1995 six months. The decrease was due primarily to a reduction of expenses through lower headcount and cost controls and implementation of a more efficient multi-platform development environment for the Company's product releases and was partially offset by increased royalty fees. The Company's cost of sales for maintenance and service revenue was $1,253,000 and $607,000, or 25.8% and 23.5% of maintenance and service revenue, for the 1996 and 1995 six months, respectively, reflecting the substantial increase in maintenance and service revenue in the 1996 six months.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company's gross profit increased 29.0% to $19.3 million for the 1996 six months from $15.0 million for the 1995 six months.
Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expenses increased 32.3% for the 1996 six months to $4.4 million, or 20.1% of total revenue, from $3.4 million, or 19.1% of total revenue, for the 1995 six months. The increase in selling and marketing expenses resulted primarily from increased personnel costs, including costs associated with increased headcount and compensation expenses related to the establishment of a sales force to support the Company's distribution network, as well as increased commissions associated with increased revenue.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses increased 15.1% for the 1996 six months to $4.7 million, or 21.2% of total revenue, from $4.1 million, or 23.1% of total revenue, for the 1995 six months. This increase resulted primarily from employment of additional staff and independent contractors to develop and enhance the Company's products, including a dedicated team working on the development of the Company's DesignSpace product, costs associated with quality assurance and equipment costs to implement an enhanced multi-platform development environment.
Amortization. Amortization expense was $5.4 million for the 1996 six months and $5.3 million for the 1995 six months. This amortization expense resulted from the 1994 Acquisition and relates primarily to intangible assets, including goodwill, which are being amortized from the date of the 1994 Acquisition, March 14, 1994. The unamortized portion of the goodwill and capitalized software acquired in connection with the 1994 Acquisition will be fully amortized in the first quarter of 1997.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased 22.1% for the 1996 six months to $3.7 million, or 16.6% of total revenue, from $3.0 million, or 17.1% of total revenue, for the 1995 six months. The Company has maintained a relatively stable headcount while adding administrative support services, such as a computerized order fulfillment and corporate-wide information technology systems, to support its future operations. Additionally, accounting and legal expenses have increased due to the support of the Company's increased level of operations.
Interest. Interest expense decreased 17.2% for the 1996 six months to $1.7 million from $2.0 million for the 1995 six months. This decrease was attributable to a reduction in the outstanding principal of the 1994 Loan, as well as a reduction in the effective interest rate from period to period. Interest expense will decrease substantially commencing in the third quarter of 1996 due to the early repayment of the 1994 Loan and the Subordinated Notes with the net proceeds from the initial public offering in June 1996.
Income Tax Benefit. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The Company's effective rate of taxation was 38.3% for the 1996 six months, as compared to 33.4% for the 1995 six months. These percentages are less than the federal and state combined statutory rate of approximately 39.0% due primarily to the utilization of research and experimentation credits.
Net Loss. The Company's net loss before extraordinary item decreased in the six months of 1996 to $242,000 from a net loss of $1,789,000 in the 1995 six months. The net loss including the extraordinary item in the 1996 six months was $585,000.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 1996, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $8.7 million and working capital of $10.1 million, as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $8.1 million and working capital of $3.2 million at December 31, 1995. The improvement in the working capital position was due primarily to the net proceeds of $41.1 million received from the Company's initial public offering on June 25, 1996. The proceeds from the offering were used to repay the 1994 Loan and the Subordinated Notes, including accrued and unpaid interest, and retire all of the Company's outstanding Redeemable Preferred Stock, including accumulated dividends. Previously, the Company also had available to it a $1.0 million revolving line of credit with a commercial bank under a credit facilities agreement. During the second quarter of 1996, the Company elected to terminate the line of credit.
The Company's operating activities provided cash of $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995. The Company's cash flow from operations decreased for the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 1995. This was a result of increased working capital requirements, primarily relating to an increase in accounts receivable, resulting from the substantial increase in maintenance and service revenue.
Cash used in investing activities was $658,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and $922,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995. The Company's use of cash in these periods was substantially related to capital expenditures and internally developed software costs. The Company expects to spend approximately $2.5 million for capital equipment in 1996 principally for the acquisition of computer hardware, software and equipment.
Financing activities used net cash of $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995. Cash provided from financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was due primarily to the net proceeds of $41.1 million received from the Company's initial public offering on June 25, 1996 (see Note 2). Cash used for financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was the result of the repayment of the 1994 Loan and Subordinated Notes, payment of related unpaid interest and the redemption of the Preferred Stock and accumulated dividends. Cash used for the six months ended June 30, 1995 was the result of principal repayments made on the 1994 loan.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of." The new standard was implemented in the first quarter of 1996 and did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

ARTICLE V
Any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders and may not be taken or effected by a written consent of stockholders in lieu thereof.
ARTICLE VI
The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors except as otherwise provided herein or required by law.
Election of Directors need not be by written ballot unless the By-laws of the Corporation shall so provide.
The number of Directors of the Corporation shall be fixed by resolution duly adopted from time to time by the Board of Directors. The Directors, other than those who may be elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation, shall be classified, with respect to the term for which they severally hold office, into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible. The initial Class I Directors of the Corporation shall be Peter J. Smith and Dr. John A. Swanson; the initial Class II Directors of the Corporation shall be Roger J. Heinen, Jr., Roger B. Kafker and Jacqueline C. Morby; and the initial Class III Directors of the Corporation shall be Gary B. Eichhorn and John F. Smith. The initial Class I Directors shall serve for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 1997, the initial Class II Directors shall serve for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 1998, and the initial Class III Directors shall serve for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 1999. At each annual meeting of stockholders, the successor or successors of the class of Directors whose term expires at that meeting shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at such meeting and shall hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders held in the third year following the year of their election. The Directors
elected to each class shall hold office until their successors are duly elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever, pursuant to the provisions of Article IV of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock shall have the right, voting separately as a series or together with holders of other such series, to elect Directors at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, the election, term of office, filling of vacancies and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation and any certificate of designations applicable thereto, and such Directors so elected shall not be divided into classes pursuant to this Section 3.
During any period when the holders of any series of Preferred Stock have the right to elect additional Directors as provided for or fixed pursuant to the provisions of Article IV hereof, then upon commencement and for the duration of the period during which such right continues: (i) the then otherwise total authorized number of Directors of the Corporation shall automatically be increased by such specified number of Directors, and the holders of such Preferred Stock shall be entitled to elect the additional Directors so provided for or fixed pursuant to said provisions, and (ii) each such additional Director shall serve until such Director's successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, or until such Director's right to hold such office terminates pursuant to said provisions, whichever occurs earlier, subject to such Director's earlier death, disqualification, resignation or removal. Except as otherwise provided by the Board in the resolution or resolutions establishing such series, whenever the holders of any series of Preferred Stock having such right to elect additional Directors are divested of such right pursuant to the provisions of such stock, the terms of office of all such additional Directors elected by the holders of such stock, or elected to fill any vacancies resulting from the death, resignation, disqualification or removal of such additional Directors, shall forthwith terminate and the total and authorized number of Directors of the Corporation shall be reduced accordingly.
Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect Directors and to fill vacancies in the Board of Directors relating thereto, any and all vacancies in the Board of Directors, however occurring, including, without limitation, by reason of an increase in size of the Board of Directors, or the death, resignation, disqualification or removal of a Director, shall be filled solely by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining Directors then in office, even if less than a quorum of the Board of Directors. Any Director appointed in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of Directors in which the new directorship was created or the vacancy occurred and until such Director's successor shall have been duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation or removal. Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect Directors, when the number of Directors is increased or decreased, the Board of Directors shall determine the class or classes to which the increased or decreased number of
Directors shall be apportioned; provided, however, that no decrease in the number of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent Director. In the event of a vacancy in the Board of Directors, the remaining Directors, except as otherwise provided by law, may exercise the powers of the full Board of Directors until the vacancy is filled.
Subject to the rights, if any, of any series of Preferred Stock to elect Directors and to remove any Director whom the holders of any such stock have the right to elect, any Director (including persons elected by Directors to fill vacancies in the Board of Directors) may be removed from office (i) only with cause and (ii) only by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the total votes which would be eligible to be cast by stockholders in the election of such Director. At least 30 days prior to any meeting of stockholders at which it is proposed that any Director be removed from office, written notice of such proposed removal shall be sent to the Director whose removal will be considered at the meeting. For purposes of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, "cause," with respect to the removal of any Director shall mean only (i) conviction of a felony, (ii) declaration of unsound mind by order of court, (iii) gross dereliction of duty, (iv) commission of any action involving moral turpitude, or (v) commission of an action which constitutes intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law if such action in either event results both in an improper substantial personal benefit and a material injury to the Corporation.
ARTICLE VII
A Director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a Director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the Director's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL or (iv) for any transaction from which the Director derived an improper personal benefit. If the DGCL is amended after the effective date of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of Directors, then the liability of a Director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended.
Any repeal or modification of this Article VII by either of (i) the stockholders of the Corporation or (ii) an amendment to the DGCL, shall not adversely affect any right or protection existing at the time of such repeal or modification with respect to any acts or omissions occurring before such repeal or modification of a person serving as a Director at the time of such repeal or modification.
ARTICLE VIII
Except as otherwise provided by law, the By-laws of the Corporation may be amended or repealed by the Board of Directors.
The By-laws of the Corporation may be amended or repealed at any annual meeting of stockholders, or special meeting of stockholders called for such purpose, by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the total votes eligible to be cast on such amendment or repeal by holders of voting stock, voting together as a single class; provided, however, that if the Board of Directors recommends that stockholders approve such amendment or repeal at such meeting of stockholders, such amendment or repeal shall only require the affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes eligible to be cast on such amendment or repeal by holders of voting stock, voting together as a single class.
ARTICLE IX
The Corporation reserves the right to amend or repeal this Restated Certificate of Incorporation in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute and this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, and all rights conferred upon stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation. No amendment or repeal of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation shall be made unless the same is first approved by the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 242 of the DGCL, and, except as otherwise provided by law, thereafter approved by the stockholders. Whenever any vote of the holders of voting stock is required, and in addition to any other vote of holders of voting stock that is required by this Restated Certificate of Incorporation or by law, the affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes eligible to be cast by holders of voting stock with respect to such amendment or repeal, voting together as a single class, at a duly constituted meeting of stockholders called expressly for such purpose shall be required to amend or repeal any provisions of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation; provided, however, that the affirmative vote of not less than 80% of the total votes eligible to be cast by holders of voting stock, voting together as a single class, shall be required to amend or repeal any of the provisions of Article VI or Article IX of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation .
I, Peter J. Smith, President of the Corporation, for the purpose of restating the Corporation's Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, do make this certificate, hereby declaring and certifying that this is my act and deed on behalf of the Corporation this 10th day of July, 1996.

(B) Each Independent Director who is serving as director of the Company on the fifth business day after each annual meeting of stockholders, beginning with the 1997 annual meeting, shall automatically be granted on such day a Non- Qualified Stock Option to acquire that number of shares of Stock determined by dividing $75,000 by the Option Exercise Price.
(A) The Option Exercise Price per share for the Stock covered by a Stock Option granted under this Section 5(c) shall be equal to the lesser of (1) the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date of grant or (2) the average of the Fair Market Value of the Stock for a period of ten consecutive trading days prior to the date of grant.
(B) Each Stock Option granted under this Section 5(c)
shall be exercisable in annual installments over four years. No
such Option shall be exercisable after the tenth anniversary of
the date it was granted.
(C) If an optionee ceases to be a director for any
reason, each Stock Option granted to such optionee under this
Section 5(c) shall terminate immediately with respect to all
shares of Stock for which it is not then exercisable. With
respect to the remaining shares, such Option shall terminate 60
days after the date the optionee ceases to be a director or at
the expiration of the stated term of the Option, if earlier;
provided, however, that (1) if the optionee dies while a
director, such Option may be exercised for such remaining shares by the personal representative or legatee of the optionee for a period of one year from the date of death or until the expiration of the stated term of the Option, if earlier; or (2) if the optionee ceases to be a director by reason of disability, such Option may be exercised for such remaining shares by the director for six months after the date the optionee ceases to be a director or until the expiration of the stated term of the Option, if earlier.
(D) A Stock Option granted under this Section 5(c) may be exercised only by written notice to the Company specifying the number of shares to be purchased. Payment of the full purchase price of the shares to be purchased may be made by one or more of the methods specified in Section 5(a)(v). An optionee shall have the rights of a stockholder only as to shares acquired upon the exercise of an Option and not as to unexercised Options.
contained in the written instrument evidencing the Restricted Stock Award. Unless the Committee shall otherwise determine, certificates evidencing the Restricted Stock shall remain in the possession of the Company until such Restricted Stock is vested as provided in Section 6(e) below.
Each participant shall, no later than the date as of which the value of an Award or of any Stock or other amounts received thereunder first becomes includable in the gross income of the participant for Federal income tax purposes, pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding payment of, any federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such income. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the participant.
For purposes of the Plan, the following events shall not be deemed a termination of employment:
(a) a transfer to the employment of the Company from a Subsidiary or from the Company to a Subsidiary, or from one Subsidiary to another; or
(b) an approved leave of absence for military service or sickness, or for any other purpose approved by the Company, if the employee's right to re- employment is guaranteed either by a statute or by contract or under the policy pursuant to which the leave of absence was granted or if the Committee otherwise so provides in writing.
The Board may, at any time, amend or discontinue the Plan and the Committee may, at any time, amend or cancel any outstanding Award (or provide substitute Awards at the same or reduced exercise or purchase price or with no exercise or purchase price in a manner not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan), but such price, if any, must satisfy the requirements which would apply to the substitute or amended Award if it were then initially granted under this Plan) for the purpose of satisfying changes in law or for any other lawful purpose, but no such action shall adversely affect rights under any outstanding Award without the holder's consent. If and to the extent determined by the Committee to be required by the Act to ensure that Awards granted under the Plan are exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Act, or that Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan are qualified under Section 422 of the Code, Plan amendments shall be subject to approval by the Company stockholders who are eligible to vote at a meeting of stockholders.
With respect to the portion of any Award which has not been exercised and any payments in cash, Stock or other consideration not received by a participant, a participant shall have no rights greater than those of a general creditor of the Company unless the Committee shall otherwise expressly determine in connection with any Award or Awards. In its sole discretion, the Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the Company's obligations to deliver Stock or make payments with respect to Awards hereunder, provided that the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the foregoing sentence.
No shares of Stock shall be issued pursuant to an Award until all applicable securities law and other legal and stock exchange or similar requirements have been satisfied. The Committee may require the placing of such stop-orders and restrictive legends on certificates for Stock and Awards as it deems appropriate.
This Plan shall become effective upon approval by the holders of a majority of the shares of Stock of the Company present or represented and entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders. Subject to such approval by the stockholders and to the requirement that no Stock may be issued hereunder prior to such approval, Stock Options and other Awards may be granted hereunder on and after adoption of this Plan by the Board.
This Plan shall be governed by Delaware law except to the extent such law is preempted by federal law.
Adopted and Effective: April 19, 1996
EXHIBIT 10.2
ANSYS, INC.
EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
The purpose of the ANSYS, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("the
Plan") is to provide eligible employees of ANSYS, Inc. (the "Company") and its
subsidiaries with opportunities to purchase shares of the Company's common
stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"). Two hundred ten thousand
(210,000) shares of Common Stock in the aggregate have been approved and
reserved for this purpose. The Plan is intended to constitute an "employee
stock purchase plan" within the meaning of Section 423(b) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and shall be interpreted in
accordance with that intent.
Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") or by a committee appointed by the
Board for such purpose (the "Committee"). The Board or the Committee has
authority to make rules and regulations for the administration of the Plan, and
its interpretations and decisions with regard thereto shall be final and
conclusive. No member of the Board or the Committee shall be liable for any
action or determination with respect to the Plan or any option granted
hereunder.
eligible employees to purchase the Common Stock under the Plan ("Offerings").
The initial Offering will begin on August 1, 1996 and will end on January 31,
1997. Thereafter, an Offering will begin on the first business day occurring on
or after each February 1 and August 1 and will end on the last business day
occurring on or before the following July 31 and January 31, respectively. The
Committee may, in its discretion, choose an Offering period of six months or
less for each of the Offerings and choose a different Offering period for each
Offering.
employees who are also directors of the Company) and all employees of each
Designated Subsidiary (as defined in Section 11) are eligible to participate in
any one or more of the Offerings under the Plan, provided that as of the first
day of the applicable Offering (the "Offering Date") they are customarily
employed by the Company or a Designated Subsidiary for more than twenty (20)
hours a week.
may participate in such Offering by submitting an enrollment form to his or her
appropriate payroll location at least fifteen (15) business days before the
Offering Date (or by such other deadline as shall be established for the
Offering). The form will (a) state a whole percentage to be deducted from such
employee's Compensation (as defined in Section 11) per pay period, (b) authorize
the purchase of Common Stock for such employee in each Offering in accordance
with the terms of the Plan and (c) specify the exact name or names in which
shares of Common Stock purchased for such employee are to be issued pursuant to
Section 10. An employee who does not enroll in accordance with these procedures
will be deemed to have waived the right to participate. Unless an employee
files a new enrollment form or withdraws from the Plan, such employee's
deductions and purchases will continue at the same percentage of Compensation
for future Offerings, provided such employee remains eligible. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, participation in the Plan will neither be permitted nor be denied
contrary to the requirements of the Code.
authorize payroll deductions at a minimum of one percent (1%) up to a maximum of
ten percent (10%) of his or her Compensation for each pay period. The Company
will maintain book accounts showing the amount of payroll deductions made by
each participating employee for each Offering. No interest will accrue or be
paid on payroll deductions.
payroll deduction during any Offering, but may decrease his or her payroll
deduction for the remainder of the Offering. An employee may also terminate his
or her payroll deduction for the remainder of the Offering, either with or
without withdrawing from the Offering under Section 7. To reduce or terminate
his or her payroll deduction (without withdrawing from the Offering), an
employee must submit a new enrollment form at least fifteen (15) business days
(or such shorter period as shall be established) before the payroll date on
which the change becomes effective. Subject to the requirements of Sections 4
and 5, an employee may either increase or decrease his or her payroll deduction
with respect to the next Offering by filing a new enrollment form at least
fifteen (15) business days before the next Offering Date (or by such other
deadline as shall be established for the Offering).
the Plan by delivering a written notice of withdrawal to his or her appropriate
payroll location. The employee's withdrawal will be effective as of the next
business day. Following an employee's withdrawal, the Company will promptly
refund such employee's entire account balance under the Plan (after payment for
any Common Stock purchased before the effective date of withdrawal). Partial
withdrawals are not permitted. The employee may not begin participation again
during the remainder of the Offering, but may enroll in a subsequent Offering in
accordance with Section 4.
grant to each eligible employee who is then a participant in the Plan an option
("Option") to purchase on the last day of such Offering (the "Exercise Date"),
at the Option Price hereinafter provided for, a maximum of nine hundred sixty
(960) shares of Common Stock reserved for the purposes of the Plan, or such
other maximum number of shares as shall have been established by the Board or
the Committee in
advance of the offering. The purchase for each share purchased under such Option
(the "Option Price") will be 85% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on
the Offering Date or the Exercise Date, whichever is less.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no employee may be granted an option
hereunder if such employee, immediately after the option was granted, would be
treated as owning stock possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total
combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or any
Parent or Subsidiary (as defined in Section 11). For purposes of the preceding
sentence, the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the Code shall apply in
determining the stock ownership of an employee, and all stock which the employee
has a contractual right to purchase shall be treated as stock owned by the
employee. In addition, no employee may be granted an Option which permits his
or her rights to purchase stock under the Plan, and any other employee stock
purchase plan of the Company and its Parents and Subsidiaries, to accrue at a
rate which exceeds $25,000 of the fair market value of such stock (determined on
the option grant date or dates) for each calendar year in which the Option is
outstanding at any time. The purpose of the limitation in the preceding
sentence is to comply with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code.
who continues to be a participant in the Plan on the Exercise Date shall be
deemed to have exercised his or her Option on such date and shall acquire from
the Company such number of whole shares of Common Stock reserved for the purpose
of the Plan as his or her accumulated payroll deductions on such date will
purchase at the Option Price, subject to any other limitations contained in the
Plan. Any amount remaining in an employee's account at the end of an Offering
solely by reason of the inability to purchase a fractional share will be carried
forward to the next Offering; any other balance remaining in an employee's
account at the end of an Offering will be refunded to the employee promptly.
of Common Stock purchased under the Plan may be issued only in the name of the
employee, in the name of the employee and another person of legal age as joint
tenants with rights of survivorship, or in the name of a broker authorized by
the employee to be his or her nominee for such purpose.
The term "Compensation" means the amount of total cash compensation,
prior to salary reduction pursuant to either Section 125 or 401(k) of the Code,
including base pay, overtime, commissions and bonuses, but excluding allowances
and reimbursements for expenses such as relocation allowances or travel
expenses, income or gains on the exercise of Company stock options, and similar
items.
The term "Designated Subsidiary" means any present or future
Subsidiary (as defined below) that has been designated by the Board or the
Committee to participate in the Plan. The Board or the Committee may so
designate any Subsidiary, or revoke any such designation, at any time and from
time to time, either before or after the Plan is approved by the stockholders.
The term "Fair Market Value of the Common Stock" means (i) if the
Common Stock is admitted to trading on a national securities exchange or the
National Association of Securities Dealers National Market System, the closing
price reported for the Common Stock on such exchange or system for such date or,
if no sales were reported for such date, for the last date preceding such date
for which a sale was reported, or (ii) if clause (i) does not apply but the
Common Stock is admitted to quotation on the National Association of Securities
Dealers Automated Quotation System ("NASDAQ"), the average of the highest bid
and lowest asked prices of the Common Stock reported on NASDAQ for such date or,
if no bid and asked prices were reported for such date, for the last day
preceding such date for which such prices were reported.
The term "Parent" means a "parent corporation" with respect to the
Company, as defined in Section 424(e) of the Code.
The term "Subsidiary" means a "subsidiary corporation" with respect to
the Company, as defined in Section 424(f) of the Code.
employee's employment terminates for any reason before the Exercise Date for any
Offering, no payroll deduction will be taken from any pay due and owing to such
employee and the balance in such employee's account will be paid to such
employee or, in the case of death, to such employee's designated beneficiary as
if such employee had withdrawn from the Plan under Section 7. An employee will
be deemed to have terminated employment, for this purpose, if the corporation
that employs such employee, having been a Designated Subsidiary, ceases to be a
Subsidiary, or if such employee is transferred to any corporation other than the
Company or a Designated Subsidiary.
contrary, the Board or the Committee may adopt special rules applicable to the
employees of a particular Designated Subsidiary, whenever the Board or the
Committee determines that such rules are necessary or appropriate for the
implementation of the Plan in a jurisdiction where such Designated Subsidiary
has employees; provided that such rules are consistent with the requirements of
Section 423(b) of the Code. Such special rules may include (by way of example,
but not by way of limitation) the establishment of a method for employees of a
given Designated Subsidiary to fund the purchase of shares other than by payroll
deduction, if the payroll deduction method is prohibited by local law or is
otherwise impracticable. Any special rules established pursuant to this Section
13 shall, to the extent possible, result in the employees subject to such rules
having substantially the same rights as other participants in the Plan.
Option to an employee nor the deductions from his or her pay shall constitute
such employee a holder of the shares of Common Stock covered by an Option under
the Plan until such shares have been purchased by and issued to such employee.

of a dividend in Common Stock, the number of shares approved for the Plan, and
the share limitation set forth in Section 8, shall be increased proportionately,

or the Committee. In the event of any other change affecting the Common Stock,
such adjustment shall be made as may be deemed equitable by the Board or the
Committee to give proper effect to such event.

without the approval, within twelve (12) months of such Board or Committee
action, by the holders of a majority of the shares of stock of the Company
present or represented and entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders, no
amendment shall be made increasing the number of shares approved for the Plan or
making any other change that would require stockholder approval in order for the
Plan, as amended, to qualify as an "employee stock purchase plan" under Section
423(b) of the Code.
Common Stock that would otherwise be purchased on any Exercise Date plus the
number of shares purchased under previous Offerings under the Plan exceeds the
maximum number of shares issuable under the Plan, the shares then available

deductions accumulated on behalf of each participant that would otherwise be
used to purchase Common Stock on such Exercise Date.

EXHIBIT 99 Certain Factors Regarding Future Results
Information provided by the Company or 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 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.
Potential Fluctuations in Operating Results. The Company may experience significant fluctuations in future quarterly operating results. Fluctuations may be caused by many factors, including the timing of new product releases or product enhancements by the Company or its competitors; the size and timing of individual orders; software errors or other product quality problems; competition and pricing; customer order deferrals in anticipation of new products or product enhancements; reduction in demand for the Company's products; changes in operating expenses; mix of software license and maintenance and service revenue; personnel changes; and general economic conditions. A substantial portion of the Company's operating expenses is related to personnel, facilities and marketing programs. The level of personnel and personnel expenses cannot be adjusted quickly and is based, in significant part, on the Company's expectation for future revenues. The Company does not typically experience significant order backlog. Further, the Company has often recognized a substantial portion of its revenue in the last month of a quarter, with this revenue frequently concentrated in the last weeks or days of a quarter. As a result, product revenues in any quarter are substantially dependent on orders booked and shipped in the latter part of that quarter, and revenues for any future quarter are not predictable with any significant degree of accuracy.
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.
In addition, a large percentage of the Company's common stock is 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.
Rapidly Changing Technology; New Products; Risk of Product Defects. The markets for the Company's products are generally characterized by rapidly changing technology and frequent new product introductions that can render existing products obsolete or unmarketable. A major factor in the Company's future success will be its ability to anticipate technological changes and to develop and introduce in a timely manner enhancements to its existing products and new products to meet those changes. If the Company is unable to introduce new products and respond to industry changes on a timely basis, its business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. The introduction and marketing of new or enhanced products require the Company to manage the transition from existing products in order to minimize disruption in customer purchasing patterns. There can be no assurance
that the Company will be successful in developing and marketing, on a timely basis, new products or product enhancements, that its new products will adequately address the changing needs of the marketplace, or that it will successfully manage the transition from existing products. Software products as complex as those offered by the Company may contain undetected errors or failures when first introduced or as new versions are released, and the likelihood of errors is increased as a result of the Company's commitment to accelerating the frequency of its product releases. There can be no assurance that errors will not be found in new or enhanced products after commencement of commercial shipments. Any of these problems may result in the loss of or delay in market acceptance, diversion of development resources, damage to the Company's reputation, or increased service or warranty costs, any of which could have a materially adverse effect upon the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
Dependence on Distributors. The Company distributes its products principally through its global network of 35 independent, regional ANSYS Support Distributors ("ASDs"). The ASDs sell ANSYS products and other noncompeting products to new and existing customers, expand installations within their existing customer base, offer consulting services and provide the first line of ANSYS technical support. The ASDs have more immediate contact with most customers who use ANSYS software than does the Company. Consequently, the Company is highly dependent on the efforts of the ASDs. Difficulties in ongoing relationships with ASDs, such as delays in collecting accounts receivable, ASDs' failure to meet performance criteria or to promote the Company's products as aggressively as the Company expects, and differences in the handling of customer relationships, could adversely affect the Company's performance. Additionally, the loss of any major ASD for any reason, including an ASD's decision to sell competing products rather than ANSYS products, could have a materially adverse effect on the Company. Moreover, the Company's future success will depend substantially on the ability and willingness of its ASDs to continue to dedicate the resources necessary to promote the Company's products and to support a larger installed base of the Company's products. If the ASDs are unable or unwilling to do so, the Company may be unable to sustain revenue growth.
Competition. The CAD, CAE and computer-aided manufacturing ("CAM") market is intensely competitive. In the traditional CAE market, the Company's primary competitors include MacNeal- Schwendler Corporation, Hibbitt, Karlsson and Sorenson, Inc. and MARC Analysis Research Corporation. The Company also faces competition from smaller vendors of specialized analysis applications in fields such as computational fluid dynamics. In addition, certain integrated CAD suppliers such as Parametric Technology Corporation and Structural Dynamics Research Corporation provide varying levels of design analysis and optimization and verification capabilities as part of their product offerings.
The entrance of new competitors would be likely to intensify competition in all or a portion of the overall CAD, CAE and CAM market. Some of the Company's current and possible future competitors have greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than the Company, and some have well established relationships with current and potential customers of the Company. It is also possible that alliances among competitors may emerge and rapidly acquire significant market share or that competition will increase as a result of software industry consolidation. Increased competition may result in price reductions, reduced profitability and loss of market share, any of which would materially adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
Dependence on Senior Management and Key Technical Personnel. The Company is highly dependent upon the ability and experience of its senior executives, Peter J. Smith and Dr. John A. Swanson, and its key technical and other management employees. Although the Company has entered into employment agreements with Mr. Smith and Dr. Swanson, the loss of either of these senior executives or a number of the Company's other key employees could adversely affect the Company's ability to conduct its operations.
Risks Associated with International Activities. A significant and growing portion of the Company's business comes from outside the United States. Risks inherent in the Company's international business activities include imposition of government controls, export license requirements, restrictions on the export of critical technology, political and economic instability, trade restrictions, changes in tariffs and taxes, difficulties in staffing and managing international operations, longer accounts receivable payment cycles, and the burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws and regulations. Effective copyright and trade secret protection may not be available in every foreign country in which the Company sells its products. The Company's business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks.
Dependence on Proprietary Technology. The Company's success is highly dependent upon its proprietary technology. The Company does not have patents on any of its technology and relies on contracts and the laws of copyright and trade secrets to protect its technology. Although the Company maintains a trade secrets program, enters into confidentiality agreements with its employees and distributors and limits access to and distribution of its software, documentation and other proprietary information, there can be no assurance that the steps taken by the Company to protect its proprietary technology will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of its technology by third parties, or that third parties will not be able to develop similar technology independently. Although the Company is not aware that any of its technology infringes upon the rights of third parties, there can be no assurance that other parties will not assert technology infringement claims against the Company, or that, if asserted, such claims will not prevail.
Increased Reliance on Perpetual Licenses. The Company has historically maintained stable recurring revenue from the sale of time-based licenses for its software products. Recently, the Company has experienced an increase in customer preference for perpetual licenses that involve payment of a single up-front fee and that are more typical in the computer software industry. Although lease license revenue currently represents a majority of the Company's software license fee revenue, to the extent that perpetual license revenue increases as a percent of total software license fee revenue, the Company's revenue in any period will increasingly depend on sales completed during that period.
