Important Factors Regarding Future Results

Information provided by the Company, including information contained in this
Annual Report on Form 10-K, or by its spokespersons from time to time may
contain forward-looking statements concerning projected financial performance,
market and industry segment growth, product development and commercialization,
or other aspects of future operations. Such statements, made pursuant to the
safe harbor established by recent securities legislation, are based on the
assumptions 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 the basis for those assumptions is
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 1996 Annual Report to Stockholders, which section is
incorporated herein by reference.


PART I

ITEM 1: Business

General

Parametric Technology Corporation (the "Company") develops, markets and supports
the Pro/ENGINEER(R) family of software products - a suite of more than 70
application modules that automate the design-through-manufacturing process
within the mechanical computer-aided design, manufacturing and engineering
("CAD/CAM/CAE") industry. The Company's Pro/ENGINEER product line includes
capabilities in industrial design; mechanical design, including large assembly
management; functional simulation; manufacturing; information management; and
data exchange.

Mechanical CAD/CAM/CAE is a complex, iterative process encompassing a broad
spectrum of distinct engineering disciplines which is essential to the
development of virtually all manufactured products, ranging from consumer
products to jet aircraft. Manufacturers compete on the basis of cost, time to
market and product performance criteria, which are significantly affected by the
quality and length of the design process. The Company's mechanical CAD/CAM/CAE
products offer a high-performance, fully integrated solution which enables end-
users to reduce the time to market and manufacturing costs for their products
and to improve product quality by easily evaluating multiple design
alternatives. The Company believes that its Pro/ENGINEER product line offers
better price/performance, greater ease of use, and more complete integration of
multiple engineering disciplines than other available mechanical CAD/CAM/CAE
products.

The Company's Pro/ENGINEER product line is based on an innovative software
architecture that incorporates a unique parametric, feature-based solid modeling
technology. The Company's Pro/ENGINEER software uses a single data structure to
capture changes made in any stage of the design-through-manufacturing process
and to automatically update designs and all engineering deliverables. The single
data structure allows all changes to be propagated automatically throughout the
design and manufacturing process, thus enabling users to integrate multiple
engineering activities in the mechanical design process and conduct them on a
concurrent basis. In addition, as a result of the data structure of the
Company's products, engineers can create, process, modify and store designs
quickly and easily, in a highly efficient manner.

The Pro/ENGINEER product line runs on all major UNIX(R) and Microsoft(R) Windows
NT(TM) and Windows(R) 95 Workstation Operating System platforms, and is
hardware-independent. The product is written in "C" programming language, which
allows for portability from one standard workstation to another. The
Pro/ENGINEER product line primarily competes in the high-end of the mechanical
CAD/CAM/CAE
market.

Acquisitions

On July 10, 1996, the Company acquired project modeling and management software
("Reflex") technology from Greenshire License Co. NV for $32,119,000 which
included the issuance of 113,000 shares of the Company's common stock with a
fair value of $5,000,000 at the time of acquisition and $5,000,000 payable in
the fourth quarter of fiscal

2


1997. Payments of $22,119,000 in fiscal 1996 were from the Company's existing
cash balances. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase.

On August 1, 1995, the Company acquired Rasna Corporation ("Rasna"), a
developer and marketer of software products for mechanical computer-aided
engineering, by merging it into the Company pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of
Merger dated as of May 30, 1995. Based on the number of shares of Rasna common
stock, the Company issued 7,541,000 shares of common stock and reserved
1,045,000 shares of its common stock for outstanding Rasna stock options
assumed. The merger was accounted for as a pooling of interests.

On April 12, 1995, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and
specified liabilities of the Conceptual Design and Rendering System ("CDRS")
software business operated by the Design Software Division of Evans & Sutherland
Computer Corporation for approximately $33,507,000 in cash, which was paid by
the Company from its existing cash balances. The acquisition has been accounted
for as a purchase.



Product Development

The mechanical CAD/CAM/CAE industry is characterized by rapid technological
advances. Accordingly, the Company's future success will depend upon its
ability to enhance its current products and develop and introduce new products
and modules which keep pace with technological developments and address
increasingly sophisticated needs of its customers. The Company expects to
continue to expand the scope of applications of its Pro/ENGINEER product family,
to expand the functionality set of each of the acquired technologies, and to
fully integrate all of the product families. The Company's ability to develop
new products rapidly is facilitated by the modular structure of its software
code, which enables functional subroutines used in existing products to be
accessed and utilized by new software modules, thereby reducing the amount of
new code required to develop additional products. The major benefit of this
approach is rapid development of new functionality. The Company intends to
focus its ongoing product development efforts on additional products within the
Pro/ENGINEER product family, including tools for fully simulating the design,
manufacturing, and function of our customers' products, and tools to manage all
of the resulting engineering data. The Company intends to further accelerate
these efforts to provide a completely integrated suite of tools for our
customers. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be
successful in developing and marketing product enhancements or new products and
modules that respond to technological changes by others, or that its new
products will adequately address the needs of the marketplace.

The Company's practice has been to issue two major releases of its product line
per year, each of which has generally included several new modules. In
connection with each release, the Company works closely with its customers to
define improvements and enhancements, which are then integrated into the
products. Using this approach, customers become involved in the product design
process to validate feasibility and to influence functionality early in the
product's life-cycle. In addition, the Company's Cooperative Software Program
("CSP") provides the mechanisms and environment to facilitate the integration of
complementary products with the Pro/ENGINEER product line. Through the
Company's open software toolkit, the CSP members can build tightly integrated
solutions that satisfy various requirements of the Company's customers.

As of September 30, 1996, the Company's product development was performed by 453
employees at its Waltham, Massachusetts, headquarters; its San Jose, California
and Salt Lake City, Utah offices; and abroad. The development group includes
experts in mechanical engineering, advanced mathematical techniques, database
structures and operating systems technology.

During the years ended September 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994, the Company incurred
expenses of $39,476,000, $25,591,000 and $19,882,000, respectively, on research
and development.


Sales

The Company focuses its marketing and sales efforts primarily on the
electronics, aerospace, automotive, consumer products, medical equipment,
industrial equipment and telecommunications industries. The Company derives
more than

3


90% of its revenue from products distributed directly to its customers and the
remainder through third-party distributors. The Company's sales force manages
the activities of all distribution channels within a geographic area.

As of September 30, 1996, the Company's sales and marketing organization
consisted of 668 people in the United States and 977 people abroad. The Company
has sales and/or support offices located in 84 cities across the United States
and in 91 cities in 26 foreign countries.

Since inception, the Company has licensed software products for more than 71,500
seats to nearly 11,500 companies. A seat of software generally consists of the
Company's core product, Pro/ENGINEER, together with several other software
modules, configured to serve the needs of a single end user. End users of the
Company's products range from small companies to some of the world's largest
manufacturing organizations. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of
the Company's revenue in fiscal 1996.

Information with respect to foreign and domestic operations and export sales may
be found in Note L to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Annual Report
to Stockholders for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1996 ("1996 Annual
Report to Stockholders"), which financial statements are included in Exhibit
13.1 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Competition

The mechanical CAD/CAM/CAE industry is highly competitive, and is characterized
by rapidly advancing technology. In order to maintain or improve its position
in this industry, the Company must continue to enhance its current products and
develop, in a timely fashion, new products which address the rapidly changing
needs of the marketplace.

The Company competes most directly with the CADAM(R) and CATIA(R) products
developed by Dassault and marketed by IBM(R), the CADDS(R) product marketed by
Computervision Corporation, the UNIGRAPHICS(R) product marketed by EDS, the
I/EMS(TM) product marketed by Intergraph Corporation and the I-DEAS Master
Series(TM) product marketed by Structural Dynamics Research Corporation. The
Company believes that the principal bases for competition in its markets are
product functionality, price/performance characteristics, product portability,
ease of product use, sales and marketing strength, support services and
corporate reputation. The Company is aware of ongoing efforts by competitors,
some of whom have greater resources than the Company, to develop equivalent or
superior technology and market these products at lower prices. Should a
competitor successfully bring such a product to market and be able to sell it at
a lower price in the future, the Company's operating results could be adversely
affected. The Company's future success will depend in a large part on its
ability to license additional products and services to its existing customer
base as well as the installed customer bases of traditional mechanical
CAD/CAM/CAE suppliers.

Proprietary Rights

The Company regards its software products as proprietary and attempts to protect
its intellectual property rights by relying on copyrights, trademarks, patents
and common law safeguards, including trade secret protection, as well as
restrictions on disclosures and transferability in its agreements with other
parties. The Company distributes its products under software license
agreements, which grant customers perpetual licenses to, rather than ownership
of, the Company's products and which contain various provisions protecting the
Company's ownership of and the confidentiality of the underlying technology.
The Company also limits access to and distribution of its software,
documentation and other proprietary information. The source code of the
Company's products is protected as a trade secret and as an unpublished
copyright work. Despite these precautions, it may be possible to copy or
otherwise obtain and use the Company's products or technology without
authorization. In addition, effective copyright and trade secret protection may
be unavailable or limited in certain foreign countries.

The Company believes that, due to the rapid pace of innovation within its
industry, factors such as the technological and creative skills of its personnel
are more important to establishing and maintaining a technology leadership
position within the industry than are the various legal protections surrounding
its technology. The Company believes that its products and technology do not
infringe any existing proprietary rights of others, although there can be no
assurance that third parties will not assert infringement claims in the future.

Pro/ENGINEER and Parametric Technology Corporation are registered trademarks and
all product names in the PTC product family and the PTC logo are trademarks of
Parametric Technology Corporation in the United States and other countries.

Backlog

The Company generally ships its products within 30 days after acceptance of a
customer purchase order and execution of a software license agreement.
Accordingly, the Company does not believe that its backlog at any particular
point in time is indicative of future sales levels.

Employees

The Company's success depends upon its ability to attract and retain highly
skilled technical, managerial and sales personnel. Competition for such
personnel in the computer industry in general, and the mechanical CAD/CAM/CAE
industry in particular, is intense. Although the Company has not experienced
any significant difficulty to date in attracting and retaining skilled
personnel, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in
attracting and retaining the personnel it requires to continue to grow and
operate profitably, both domestically and internationally.

As of September 30, 1996, the Company had 2,774 employees, including 1,645 in
sales, marketing and support activities; 418 in customer support, training and
consulting; 258 in management, finance and administration; and 453 in product
development. Of these employees, 1,477 were located in the United States and
1,297 were located in foreign countries.

ITEM 2: Properties

The Company's executive offices are located in approximately 262,000 square feet
of office space in Waltham, Massachusetts which is leased for an annual rent of
approximately $5,384,000. The Company also leases 176 additional sales and/or
support offices and development offices in the United States and, through its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, abroad. The Company believes that its facilities are
adequate for its present needs, but will continue to evaluate the need for
additional space as the growth of the business requires.

ITEM 3: Legal Proceedings

Not applicable.

ITEM 4: Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the last quarter
of fiscal 1996.
