4.     Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Effective January 1, 2002,Acquisition of CFX

On February 4, 2003, the Company adopted Statementsigned a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142 (Statement 142), "Goodwillthe shares in certain entities and Other Intangible Assets,"assets (hereinafter collectively referred to as “CFX”) for existing goodwilla purchase price of approximately $21.5 million in cash. 

CFX is a leading supplier of computational fluid dynamics software and otherservices.  Computational fluid dynamics is the second largest segment of the computer-aided engineering market behind  the solid mechanics segment, where ANSYS is well recognized as a global market leader.  By acquiring CFX, ANSYS will broaden the scope of engineering physics solutions it can offer to its customers, gain access to new customers and enter new markets.

CFX represents the Company’s second acquisition in the CFD market.  The Company had previously acquired ICEM CFD Engineering in August 2000.  CFX’s mathematical representations for simulating the physics involved in CFD applications will complement the pre- and post-processing capabilities of ICEM CFD Engineering.

The operating results of CFX have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial results since the date the acquisition was consumated, February 26, 2003.

The total purchase price was allocated to the assets and liabilities of CFX based upon their estimated fair market values.  The allocation of the purchase price was based, in part, on an independent valuation and included an allocation of $11.5 million to identifiable intangible assets including(including $9.5 million to existing software, $1.1 million to trademark and $900,000 to customer list) and $11.4 million to goodwill.  The trademark is not being amortized as it is determined to have an indefinite life; the non-amortizationremaining identifiable intangible assets are being amortized over three to five years.

In valuing deferred revenue for inclusion on the CFX opening balance sheet as of February 26, 2003, the Company complied with the fair value provisions of this standard arisingEmerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 01-3 “Accounting in a Business Combination for Deferred Revenue of an Acquiree.”  In accordance with EITF 01-3, acquired deferred software license revenue of approximately $4.8 million was recorded on the opening balance sheet. 

CFX reported revenue of approximately $19 million for its fiscal year ended March 31, 2002.  The CFX business was a carve out entity from business combinations after June 30, 2001. This standard eliminates the amortizationacquiree and books and records were not maintained at a level where reliable stand-alone financial statements could be produced.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended September 30, 2002March 31, 2003 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2001 March 31, 2002

Revenue.  The Company'sCompany’s total revenue increased 5.5%15.7% in the 2003 first quarter to $24.6 million from $21.3 million in the 2002 third quarter to $21.7 million from $20.6 millionfirst quarter.  Total revenue in the 2001 third quarter. Reported revenue for the prior year was affected by a modificationfirst quarter of the Company's revenue recognition policy2003 included approximately $2.3 million related to noncancellable annual software leases. As previously disclosed, in 2001certain entities and assets acquired during the Company modified its revenue recognition policy for annual software leasesfirst quarter (hereinafter referred to comply with Technical Practice Aid ("TPA"as “CFX”) 5100.53 "Fair Value of PCS in a Short-Term Time-Based License and Software Revenue Recognition," issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Prior to the revenue recognition modification, the Company recognized a portion of the license fee from annual software leases upon inception or renewal of the lease, while the remaining portion was recognized ratably over the lease period. The TPA requires all revenue from noncancellable annual software lease licenses to be recognized ratably over the lease term. Had this revenue recognition policy modification been initially made in January 2002, third quarter 2002 revenue would have been approximately $21.0 million. .

Software license revenue increased 6.2%9.8% in the 20022003 quarter to $11.0$12.4 million from $10.4$11.3 million in the 20012002 quarter.  The quarterly revenue increase in 2002 was primarily the result of an increase in license revenueapproximately $1.2 million related to annual software leases, which resulted from the adverse impact of the revenue recognition policy modification discussed above on reported revenue in the third quarter of 2001. Also contributing to the increase in the 2002 quarter was higher license revenue from the Company's ICEM CFD Engineering product line. CFX.

Maintenance and service revenue increased 4.8%22.4% in the 20022003 quarter to $10.7$12.2 million from $10.2$9.9 million in the 20012002 quarter. This increase was primarily the result of maintenance contracts sold in association with paid-up license sales in recent quarters. quarters, as well as approximately $1.1 million in revenue related to the acquisition of CFX.

In valuing deferred revenue for inclusion on the CFX opening balance sheet as of February 26, 2003, the Company complied with the fair value provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 01-3 “Accounting in a Business Combination for Deferred Revenue of an Acquiree.”  In accordance with EITF 01-3, acquired deferred software license revenue of approximately $4.8 million was recorded on the opening balance sheet.  This amount was approximately $3.4 million lower than the historical carrying value.  Although this purchase accounting requirement will have no impact on the Company’s business or cash flow, it will adversely impact the Company’s reported GAAP software license revenue for the first twelve months post-acquisition.  The adverse impact on reported revenue was approximately $454,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003, and is expected to be approximately $1.1 million, $900,000 and $500,000 for the quarters ending June 30, 2003, September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2003, respectively.  The adverse impact on reported revenue for the year ending December 31, 2004 is expected to be approximately $400,000.

The Company has recently developed and introduced many new software products.  Certain of these products require a higher level of sales and support expertise.  The ability of the Company'sCompany’s sales channel, in particularparticularly the indirect channel, to obtain this expertise and sell the new product offerings effectively could have an effect on the Company'sCompany’s sales in future periods.  Additionally, royalties and consulting engagements associated with the new software products may result in the Company'sCompany’s cost of sales increasing as a percentage of revenue in future periods. 12

As the Company has grown, it has become increasingly subject to the risks arising from adverse changes in domestic and global economic conditions.  As a result of the current economic slowdown, many companies are delaying or reducing technology

13


purchases, which has had an impact on the Company'sCompany’s visibility into the closing of new business, as opposed to ourits recurring business.  This slowdown has also contributed to, and may continue to contribute to, reductions in sales, longer sales cycles and increased price competition.  Each of these items could adversely affect the Company'sCompany’s sales in future periods.

Of the Company'sCompany’s total revenue in the 20022003 quarter, approximately 56.5%64.8% and 43.5%35.2%, respectively, were attributable to international and domestic sales, as compared to 58.3%56.1% and 41.7%43.9%, respectively, in the 20012002 quarter.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit.  The Company'sCompany’s total cost of sales increased 11.4% to $3.0$4.1 million, or 13.9%16.6% of total revenue, in the 2003 first quarter from $2.9 million, or 13.4% of total revenue, in the 2002 third quarter from $2.7 million, or 13.2% of total revenue, in the 2001 thirdfirst quarter.  The increase in the 20022003 quarter was principallyprimarily attributable to contracted technical support costs in France,associated with engineering consulting services provided by CFX, as well as serviceroyalty costs associated with the Company's recently acquired CADOE subsidiary. CFX software sales.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company'sCompany’s gross profit increased 4.6%11.5% to $18.7$20.5 million in the 2003 quarter from $18.4 million in the 2002 quarter from $17.9 million inquarter.

The CFX business has historically included a higher percentage of engineering consulting services than has the 2001 quarter. core ANSYS business.  As a result, the Company expects total cost of sales as a percentage of revenue to increase over the comparable 2002 period for the remainder of 2003.

Selling and Marketing.  Total selling and marketing expenses increased from $4.4$5.2 million, or 21.2%24.3% of total revenue in the 20012002 quarter, to $4.7$5.5 million, or 21.6%22.4% of total revenue in the 2003 quarter.  The increase resulted from the addition of headcount and facility costs associated with CFX.  The Company anticipates that it will continue to make significant investments throughout the remainder of 2003 in its global sales and marketing organization to strengthen its competitive position, to enhance major account sales activities and to support its worldwide sales channels and marketing strategies.

Research and Development.  Research and development expenses increased in the 2003 first quarter to $5.7 million, or 23.0% of total revenue, from $4.8 million, or 22.7% of total revenue, in the 2002 quarter. The increase primarily resulted from higher salaries and related headcount costs associated with the addition of personnel within the Company's direct sales and sales support organization. These additions include personnel associated with the Company's recently established direct sales offices in India and France. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in discretionary advertising and promotion expenditures. Research and Development. Research and development expenses increased 18.3% in the 2002 third quarter to $5.2 million, or 23.7% of total revenue, from $4.4 million, or 21.1% of total revenue, in the 2001 quarter. The increase primarily resulted from additional headcount and related costs including thoserelated to the development and introduction of new and enhanced products.  Headcount and facility costs associated with CFX also contributed to the CADOE acquisition, as well as resources necessary to support the continued expansion of our various product offerings.increase.  The Company has traditionally invested significant resources in research and development activities and intends to continue to make significant investments in this area.

Amortization.  Amortization expense decreasedincreased to $557,000$748,000 in the 2002 third2003 first quarter from $1.3 million$599,000 in the prior year quarter.  The reduction primarily relatedincrease relates to the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. This standard eliminates the amortization of goodwill and otherexpense associated with intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and requires annual testing for impairment. Had this standard beenacquired in effect for the third quarter of 2001, amortization expense in that quarter would have been approximately $440,000. 13 CFX purchase.

General and Administrative.  General and administrative expenses decreasedincreased from $4.5$2.3 million, or 21.9% of total revenue in the 2001 quarter, to $2.5 million, or 11.6%11.0% of total revenue in the 2002 quarter, to $2.6 million, or 10.7% of total revenue in the 2003 quarter.  The decrease wasincrease primarily related to a $2.0 million non-recurring charge ingeneral and administrative costs associated with the prior year quarter related to the settlement of a dispute with a former distributor. CFX business.

The Company maintains commercial insurance to protect against and manage the risks involved in conducting business.  The cost to obtain insurance coverage for such risks has significantly increased due to the environment within the commercial insurance industry.  Additionally, the Company has recently renewed its contract for employee health insurance coverage in 2003.  The new contract results in significantly higher health insurance costs than in prior years.  Because these insurance costs relate to personnel, they are allocated to each functional area of the Company and will increase cost of sales, sales and marketing, research and development, and general and administrative expenses in future periods. 

On July 30, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Act"“Act”) was signed into law.  The Act contains far-reaching corporate governance reforms and new disclosure requirements for public companies.  Certain of the Act'sAct’s provisions became effective immediately, while other provisions will be implemented over the course of the next twelve months.  Costs to comply with the provisions of the Act, including legal and accounting fees, couldwill result in higher general and administrative expenses in future periods.

Other Income.  Other income decreasedincreased to $32,000$534,000 in the 2002 third2003 first quarter from $483,000$171,000 in the prior year quarter.  The decrease was primarily attributableincrease related to a reduced interest rate environmenthigher average cash and investment balances in the 2002 third quarter2003, as compared to that in the 2001 third quarter, and, to a lesser extent, equity affiliate andprior year period, as well as foreign currency transaction losses in the current year period. gains.

Income Tax Provision. The Company'sCompany’s effective rates of taxation were 30.0%34.2% in the 20022003 quarter and 31.1%31.5% in the 20012002 quarter. These rates are lower than the federal and state combined statutory rate as a result of benefits related to export sales,benefits, as well as the generation of research and experimentation credits.  The increase in the effective tax rate in the 2003 period relates to the impact of the CFX acquisition.  The Company expects that the effective tax rate will remain in the range of 30.0%33% - 31.0%35% for the remainder of the year.

In November 2000, the United States enacted the FSC Repeal and Extraterritorial Income Exclusion Act (the "Act"“Act”) in response to a challenge from the World Trade Organization ("WTO"(“WTO”) that the existing tax benefits provided by foreign sales corporations were prohibited tax subsidies. The Act generally repeals the foreign sales corporation and implements an extraterritorial income ("ETI"(“ETI”) tax benefit. Recently, the European Union stated that it did not believe the ETI provisions bring U.S. tax law into WTO-compliance and asked the WTO to rule on the matter. On August 30, 2002, the WTO ruled that the European Union may impose up to $4 billion per year in retaliatory duties against U.S. exports. As a result, there may be further related changes to U.S. export tax law in connection with this ruling.

15


In April 2003, the Job Protection Act of 2003 (H.R. 1769) was introduced into the House of Representatives.  The Act would repeal the ETI tax regime and replace it with a permanent rate deduction for companies with production activities in the US.  In its current form, the Act provides general transition relief through 2008 based upon the 2001 ETI benefit.  In fiscal year 2002, export benefits reduced the Company'sCompany’s effective tax rate by 6.6%approximately 4.3%. Any such prospective changes regarding tax benefits associated with the Company'sCompany’s export sales or other federal and state tax planning vehicles may result in an increase inadversely impact the Company'sCompany’s effective tax rate and decrease its net income in future periods.

Net Income.  The Company'sCompany’s net income in the 20022003 quarter was $4.1$4.3 million as compared to $2.7$3.9 million in the 20012002 quarter.  Diluted earnings per share increased to $.26$.27 in the 20022003 quarter as compared to $.17$.25 in the 20012002 quarter as a result of the increase in net income.  The weighted average shares used in computing diluted earnings per share were 15.515.6 million in the 2003 quarter and 15.8 million in the 2002 quarter and 15.6 million in the 2001 quarter.   14 Excluding acquisition-related amortization, net income increased 25.1% to $4.4 million, or diluted earnings per share of $0.28, in the 2002 quarter as compared with $3.5 million, or diluted earnings per share of $0.23, in the 2001 quarter. Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2001 Revenue. The Company's total revenue increased 10.0% for the 2002 nine months to $65.7 million from $59.8 million for the 2001 nine months. Reported revenue for the first nine months of 2001 was affected by a modification of the Company's revenue recognition policy related to noncancellable annual software leases. As previously disclosed, in 2001 the Company modified its revenue recognition policy for annual software leases. Had this revenue recognition policy modification been initially made in January 2002, revenue for the first nine months of 2002 would have been approximately $62.3 million. Software license revenue totaled $34.1 million in the 2002 nine months as compared to $30.9 million in the 2001 nine months, an increase of 10.3%. The revenue increase was primarily the result of an increase in license revenue related to annual software leases, which resulted from the adverse impact of the revenue recognition policy modification on reported revenue during 2001. Maintenance and service revenue increased 9.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 to $31.6 million from $28.8 million in the comparable 2001 period. This increase was primarily the result of maintenance contracts sold in association with paid-up license sales in recent quarters, and, to a lesser extent, an increase in consulting revenue. Of the Company's total revenue in the 2002 nine months, approximately 55.3% and 44.7%, respectively, were attributable to international and domestic sales, as compared to 55.1% and 44.9%, respectively, in the 2001 nine months. Cost of Sales and Gross Profit. The Company's total cost of sales increased 4.3% to $8.7 million, or 13.2% of total revenue, for the 2002 nine months as compared to $8.3 million, or 13.9% of total revenue, for the 2001 nine months. The increase in 2002 was principally attributable to contracted technical support costs in France, as well as service costs associated with the Company's recently acquired CADOE subsidiary. As a result of the foregoing, the Company's gross profit increased 10.9% to $57.1 million in the 2002 nine-month period from $51.4 million in the comparable 2001 period. 15 Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expenses increased 4.7% in the nine months ended September 30, 2002 to $15.1 million, or 23.0% of total revenue, from $14.4 million, or 24.1% of total revenue, in the comparable 2001 period. The increase primarily resulted from higher salaries and related headcount costs associated with the addition of personnel within the Company's direct sales and sales support organization. These additions include personnel associated with the Company's recently established direct sales offices in India and France. Also contributing were costs associated with the Company's biennial worldwide users' conference, which occurred in the second quarter. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in discretionary advertising and promotion expenditures, as well as reduced commissions related to major account sales. Research and Development. Research and development expenses increased 18.6% in the 2002 nine months to $14.9 million, or 22.7% of total revenue, from $12.6 million, or 21.0% of total revenue, in the 2001 nine months. The increase primarily resulted from additional headcount and related costs, including those associated with the CADOE acquisition, related to the development and introduction of new and enhanced products. The Company has traditionally invested significant resources in research and development activities and intends to continue to make significant investments in this area. Amortization. Amortization expense decreased to $1.7 million in the 2002 nine-month period from $3.9 million in the comparable prior year period. The reduction primarily related to the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. This standard eliminates the amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and requires annual testing for impairment. Had this standard been in effect for the first nine months of 2001, amortization expense in that period would have been approximately $1.4 million. General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased 21.6% to $7.6 million, or 11.5% of total revenue, in the 2002 nine months, as compared to $9.6 million, or 16.1% of total revenue, in the 2001 nine months. The decrease was primarily related to a $2.0 million non-recurring charge in the prior year related to the settlement of a dispute with a former distributor. Other Income. Other income decreased from $1.6 million in the 2001 nine-month period to $526,000 in the comparable 2002 period. The decrease was primarily attributable to a declining interest rate environment, and, to a lesser extent, equity affiliate and foreign currency transaction losses in the current year. Income Tax Provision. The Company's effective rates of taxation were 30.7% for the 2002 nine months and 31.1% for the 2001 nine months. These rates are lower than the federal and state combined statutory rate as a result of benefits related to export sales, as well as the generation of research and experimentation credits. The Company expects that the effective tax rate will be in the range of 30.0% - 31.0% for the remainder of the year. 16 Net Income. The Company's net income in the 2002 nine months was $12.7 million as compared to $8.6 million in the 2001 nine months. Diluted earnings per share increased to $.81 in the 2002 period as compared to $.56 in the 2001 period as a result of the increase in net income. The weighted average shares used in computing diluted earnings per share were 15.7 million and 15.4 million in the 2002 and 2001 nine-month periods, respectively. Excluding acquisition-related amortization, net income increased 21.2% to $13.5 million, or diluted earnings per share of $0.86, in the 2002 nine months as compared with $11.2 million, or diluted earnings per share of $0.73, in the 2001 nine months.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2002,March 31, 2003, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaling $55.3$51.8 million and working capital of $49.5$39.1 million, as compared to cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $53.4$61.1 million and working capital of $40.0$56.9 million at December 31, 2001.2002.  The short-term investments are generally investment grade and liquid, which allows the Company to minimize interest rate risk and to facilitate liquidity in the event an immediate cash need arises.

The Company'sCompany’s operating activities provided cash of $16.0$11.5 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2002March 31, 2003 and $14.9$2.9 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2001.March 31, 2002.  The increase in the Company'sCompany’s cash flow from operations in the 2002 nine-month2003 three-month period as compared to the comparable 20012002 period was primarily a result of cash collections associated with increased earnings after the effect of non-cash expenses such as depreciation, amortization and deferred income taxes. This increase was partially offset by thesales activity.  The prior year period also included a nonrecurring payment in 2002 of approximately $2.0 million associated with the settlement of a dispute with a former distributor.  This settlement amount was fully accruedAlso contributing to the increase in the third quarter of 2001. Netcash were lower income tax payments and approximately $1.1 million in cash generated by operating activities provided sufficient resources to fund increased headcount and capital needs, as well as to sustain share repurchase activity under the Company's ongoing share repurchase program. CFX business. 

The Company'sCompany’s investing activities used cash of $11.5$22.2 million inand $11.6 million for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2003 and 2002, and provided cash of $8.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2001.respectively.  In the 2002 nine-month2003 three-month period, cash outlays primarily related to net purchasesthe acquisition of CFX.  In the 2002 three-month period, cash usage primarily related to the purchase of short-term investments, and aas well as the final payment of $2.6 million related to the 2000 acquisition of ICEM CFD Engineering. In the 2001 nine-month period, cash was primarily generated from net maturities of short-term investments. The Company currently plans additional capital spending of approximately $400,000$2.5 million throughout the remainder of 2002;2003; however, the level of spending will be dependent upon various factors, including growth of the business and general economic conditions.

16


Financing activities generated cash of $1.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2003 and used cash of approximately $7.7 million and $11.7$1.1 million in the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2002.  In the 2003 period, cash was provided by proceeds from the issuance of common stock under employee stock purchase and option plans.  In the 2002 and 2001, respectively. In both periods,period, cash outlays related to the Company'sCompany’s share repurchase program were partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of common stock under employee stock purchase and option plans. The Company repurchased 504,900 shares during the first nine months of 2002. 17

The Company believes that existing cash and cash equivalent balances, together with cash generated from operations, will be sufficient to meet the Company'sCompany’s working capital and capital expenditure requirements through the remainder of fiscal 2002.2003.  The Company'sCompany’s cash requirements in the future may also be financed through additional equity or debt financings.  There can be no assurance that such financings can be obtained on favorable terms, if at all.

The Company does not have any special purpose entities or off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

ANSYS believes that the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. ANSYS recognizes revenue in accordance with SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition,” and related interpretations. Revenue forfrom perpetual licenses is recognized upon delivery of the licensed product and the utility which enables the customer to request authorization keys, provided that acceptance by the customerhas occurred and receipt of a signed contractual obligation provided that no significant Company obligations remainhas been received, the price is fixed and collectiondeterminable, and collectibility of the receivable is probable. Revenue for software lease licenses is recognizedrecorded ratably over the period of the lease contract. Revenue is recorded atnet of the net price to ANSYSdistributor fee for sales through the ANSYS distribution network. The Company estimates the value of post-contract customer support sold together with perpetual licenses by reference to published price lists which generally represent the prices at which customers could purchase renewal contracts for such services. Revenue from maintenance contracts is recognized ratably over the term of the contract. Revenue from training, support and other services is recognized as the services are performed.

ANSYS maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Management specifically analyzes accounts receivable, historical bad debts, credit concentrations and customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. If the financial condition of ANSYS customers, including ANSYS distributors, were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

17


ANSYS capitalizes internal labor costs associated with the development of product enhancements subsequent to the determination of technological feasibility. Amortization of capitalized software costs, both for internally developed as well as for purchased software products, is computed on a product-by-product basis over the estimated economic life of the product, which is generally three years. The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of capitalized software and impairmentsan impairment will be recognized in the results of operations if the expected future undiscounted operating cash flow derived from the capitalized software is less than its carrying value.

The Company tests goodwill for impairment at least annually by comparing the fair value of the goodwill to its carrying value. Fair value is estimated using the discounted cash flow and other valuation methodologies that are based on projections of the amounts and timing of future revenues and cash flows.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures
Regarding Market Risk

As the Company continues to expand its direct sales presence in international regions, the portion of its revenue and expenses denominated in foreign currencies continues to increase.  As a result, changes in currency exchange rates from time to time may affect the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. There werewas no material changeschange in the Company'sCompany’s exposure to market risk from December 31, 2001. 2002.
