                        WORKGROUP TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. NATURE OF BUSINESS

   Workgroup Technology Corporation (the "Company"), incorporated in May 1992,
   develops and markets CMS, a production-proven product data management
   solution that facilitates the management of product information and work
   processes performed by multi-functional product development teams.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   Basis of Presentation

   The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes do not
   include all of the disclosures made in the Company's Annual Report on Form
   10-K for fiscal 1999, which should be read in conjunction with these
   statements.  However, in the opinion of management, the statements include
   all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the quarterly results.
   All adjustments made to these financial statements were considered to be of a
   normal and recurring nature.  The results for the six month period ended
   September 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
   expected for the full fiscal year.

   Risks and Uncertainties

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
   accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
   that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of
   contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
   the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
   Actual results could differ from those estimates and would impact future
   results of operations and cash flows.

3. NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

   The Company's basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net
   loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and
   diluted net loss per common share is based on the same computation but also
   includes dilutive potential common shares.  Potential common shares include
   shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options or warrants, net of shares
   assumed to have been purchased with the proceeds.  Potential common shares,
   which consisted only of stock options, were antidilutive for each of the
   periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 and therefore the basic and diluted
   net loss per common share were the same for those periods.

   Options to purchase weighted average shares of the Company's common stock of
   1,554,070 and 1,913,873 were outstanding for the periods ended September 30,
   1999 and 1998, respectively, at weighted average prices of $3.45 and $4.01,
   respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings
   per share because they were antidilutive.

4. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

   In October 1999, the Board of Directors authorized management actions that
   will result in the discontinuance of development, sales and marketing efforts
   related to the WTC OpCenter product and the Company will begin exploring
   opportunities for the potential license or sale of the product line. As a
   result of this, the Company reduced its workforce by approximately 20 percent
   and will record a related one-time charge during the third quarter of fiscal
   2000.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------

Revenue.  The Company's revenue consists of license fees for its CMS family of
software products and fees for professional services and software maintenance.
Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 decreased 4.4% to $1,955,000 from
$2,046,000 compared with the same period of fiscal 1999.  Revenue for the six
month period ended September 30, 1999 increased 2.2% to $3,996,000 from
$3,910,000 in the comparable period of fiscal 1999.

Software license revenue for the three and six month periods ended September 30,
1999 decreased 47.3% and 32.8%, respectively, to $427,000 and $1,000,000 from
$811,000 and $1,487,000 in the same periods of fiscal 1999.  The three and six
month periods ended September 30, 1998 were favorably impacted by higher sales
from the initial promotion of the Weblink and View/Markup products.

Maintenance and services revenue for the three and six month periods ended
September 30, 1999 increased 23.7% and 23.6%, respectively, to $1,528,000 and
$2,996,000 from $1,235,000 and $2,423,000 in the comparable periods of fiscal
1999.  This increase resulted primarily from higher maintenance revenue as a
result of an increase in the customer maintenance base as well as an increase in
revenue from consulting services.

Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit.  The Company's cost of software license
revenue consists primarily of third party royalties payable upon the license of
products for which another party is entitled to receive compensation, as well as
costs associated with media, packaging, documentation and delivery of the
Company's product. Gross profit associated with software license revenue for the
second quarter of fiscal 2000 decreased to $138,000 or 32.3% of software license
revenue from $735,000 or 90.6% of software license revenue in the second quarter
of fiscal 1999.  For the six months ended September 30, 1999, gross profit from
software license revenue decreased to $616,000 or 61.6% of software license
revenue from $1,355,000 or 91.1% for the same period of fiscal 1999.  These
changes result primarily from lower software license revenue, a one-time charge
in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 for the write-off of prepaid royalties
related to the WTC OpCenter product line and, to a lesser extent, the mix of
products sold during each of the periods which required royalty payments to
another party.

Cost of maintenance and services revenue consists primarily of personnel and
related costs for the Company's customer support and professional services
organizations. The Company's gross profit on maintenance and services revenue
increased to $809,000 or 52.9% of maintenance and services revenue in the second
quarter of fiscal 2000 from $474,000 or 38.4% of maintenance and service revenue
in the second quarter of fiscal 1999.  For the six months ended September 30,
1999, gross profit on the maintenance and services revenue increased to
$1,467,000 or 49.0% from $816,000 or 33.7% of the associated revenue in the
comparable period of fiscal 1999.  These increases in gross profit are due
primarily to higher maintenance revenue as well as lower personnel costs and
higher revenue productivity in the consulting organization.

Total gross profit as a percentage of total revenue decreased to 48.4% and 52.1%
for the three and six months ended September 30, 1999 from 59.1% and 55.5% in
the same periods of fiscal 1999.  These decreases are the result of lower
software margins and a one-time charge in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 for
the write-off of prepaid royalties related to the WTC OpCenter product line,
partially offset by an improvement in services margins.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Selling and Marketing.  Selling and marketing expenses increased 6.3% and 10.8%
for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 1999 to $1,748,000 and
$3,746,000 from $1,644,000 and $3,380,000, respectively, for the same periods of
fiscal 1999. These increases resulted from higher costs for marketing programs
and external market research consultants. As a result of these increases,
selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to 89.4% and
93.7% in the three and six month periods of fiscal 2000 from 80.4% and 86.4% in
the same periods of fiscal 1999.

Research and Development.  Research and development expenses decreased 1.5% and
6.8% for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 1999 to $1,677,000
and $3,173,000 from $1,703,000 and $3,406,000, respectively, for the same
periods of fiscal 1999.  The decrease for the six month period resulted
primarily from lower headcount in the development organization.  As a result of
these decreases, research and development expenses as a percentage of revenue
decreased to 79.4% in the six month period of fiscal 2000 from 87.1% in the same
period of fiscal 1999.  For the second quarter, research and development
expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to 85.8% in fiscal 2000 from 83.2%
in fiscal 1999 as a result of lower revenue.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased 33.2%
and 15.7% for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 1999 to
$602,000 and $1,017,000 from $452,000 and $879,000, respectively, for the same
periods of fiscal 1999.  These increases are primarily the result of expenses
associated with the hiring of a new president during the quarter and an increase
in the accounts receivable reserve. As a result of these increases, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to 30.8% and 25.5%
for the three and six month periods of fiscal 2000 from 22.1% and 22.5% for each
of the same periods of the previous fiscal year.

Interest and Other Income, (Net).  Interest and other income, net consists
primarily of interest earned on cash and cash equivalents and other income,
offset by interest expense associated with equipment financing.  Interest and
other income for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 1999
decreased $103,000 or 27.9% and $252,000 or 32.6%, respectively, from the same
periods of fiscal 1999.  A decrease in interest income due to lower cash and
cash equivalent balances was partially offset by other income during the
quarter.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
-------------------------------

Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 1999 decreased $6,307,000 to
$15,743,000 from $22,050,000 at March 31, 1999.  This decrease resulted
primarily from cash used in operations, as well as capital expenditures of
$228,000, during the six month period ended September 30, 1999.  Working capital
decreased $5,258,000 to $13,538,000 at September 30, 1999 from $18,796,000 at
fiscal year end.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company repurchased 10,000 shares
of its common stock for $13,000.  At September 30, 1999, approximately 600,000
shares of the 750,000 shares authorized by the Board of Directors had been
repurchased by the Company.

In October 1999, the Board of Directors authorized management actions that will
result in the discontinuance of development, sales and marketing efforts related
to the WTC OpCenter product and the Company will begin exploring opportunities
for the potential license or sale of the product line.  As a result of this, the
Company reduced its workforce by approximately 20 percent and will record a
related one-time charge during the third quarter of fiscal 2000.

The Company believes its existing cash and cash equivalent balances will be
sufficient to meet its cash requirements for at least the next year.

To date, neither foreign currency exposure nor inflation has had a material
impact on the Company's financial results.

                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
----------------------------------------

Background.  The Year 2000 ("Y2K") issue is the result of computer programs
using a two-digit format, as opposed to four digits, to indicate the year.
Computer systems based on a two-digit format will be unable to interpret dates
beyond the year 1999, which could cause a system failure or other computer
errors, leading to disruptions in operations.

Assessment.  The Y2K issue could affect the Company's products, computers,
software and other equipment used, operated, or maintained by the Company.
Accordingly, the Company has developed a Y2K readiness plan focused on:
(1) assessing the readiness of its software product offerings, internal
infrastructure and major suppliers; (2) addressing Y2K issues; and (3) planning
and budgeting for reasonably likely contingencies.

Software Product Offerings.  The Company has completed testing its current
product offerings for Y2K compliance. Based on its review to date, the Company
believes that the current version of its products are Y2K compliant. However,
management also believes that it is not possible to determine with complete
certainty that all Y2K issues affecting the Company's software products have
been identified or corrected due to the complexity of these products and the
fact that these products interact with other third-party vendor products and
operate on computer systems which are not under the Company's control.

Internal Infrastructure.  The Company believes that it has identified the major
computers, software applications and related equipment used in connection with
its mission critical internal operations and has completed an assessment of
these systems in regards to Y2K compliance. The Company expects to continue
testing its internal systems and to undertake corrective measures, if necessary,
throughout calendar year 1999.

Major Suppliers.  The Company has communicated with its third-party suppliers of
the major computers, software and other equipment used, operated, or maintained
by the Company to identify and, to the extent possible, to resolve issues
involving Y2K. Based on information received to date, no material Y2K issues
have been identified. However, the Company has limited or no control over the
actions of these third-party suppliers. Where the Company believes that a
particular vendor or supplier poses unacceptable Y2K risks, it has identified or
will identify an alternative supply source.

Cost of Year 2000 Compliance.  Costs incurred in our Y2K compliance effort
include the allocation of personnel to test our products and systems as well as
to upgrade internal systems. To date, costs incurred by the Company for Y2K
compliance have not been material nor does the Company expect the Y2K problem to
have a material impact on its business or operating results.

Risk of Year 2000 Issues.  The Company expects to identify and resolve Y2K
issues that could materially adversely affect its business operations. However,
management believes that it is not possible to determine with complete certainty
that all Y2K issues affecting the Company have been identified or corrected. The
Company cannot predict the nature or materiality of the impact on its operations
or operating results of Y2K disruption by parties over whom it has no control.
Furthermore, the purchasing patterns of the Company's customers or potential
customers may be affected by Y2K issues if they must expend significant
resources to correct their own systems. As a result, they may have fewer funds
available to purchase the Company's products and services.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Contingency Plans.  As part of its Y2K compliance planning process, the Company
is also considering contingency plans to be implemented if the need arises.
Depending on the systems affected, these plans could include accelerated
replacement of affected equipment or software, short- to medium-term use of
backup equipment and software, increased work hours for Company personnel or use
of contract personnel to correct on an accelerated schedule any Y2K issues that
arise or to provide manual workarounds for information systems, and similar
approaches. If the Company is required to implement any of these contingency
plans, it could affect the Company's financial condition and results of
operations.


CERTAIN FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
----------------------------------------------

The Company does not provide forecasts of its future financial performance.
However, from time-to-time information provided by the Company or statements
made by its employees may contain "forward-looking" information that involves
risks and uncertainties. In particular, statements contained in filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (including this Form 10-Q), press releases
and oral statements which are not historical facts constitute forward-looking
statements and are made under the safe harbor provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company's actual results of
operations and financial condition have varied and may in the future vary
significantly from those stated in any forward-looking statements and there can
be no assurance that the results set forth in those statements will be achieved.
Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to, the
factors discussed below. Each of these factors, and others, are discussed from
time to time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, including the Company's Form 10-K filed in June 1999.

The Company's future results are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties.
Because the Company derives a substantial portion of its revenue from software
license fees, the Company's quarterly and annual operating results are sensitive
to the size, timing and shipment of individual orders, customer order deferrals
in anticipation of new products or the lengthening of the sales cycle either
generally or with respect to individual customers. In addition, the Company's
continued growth is dependent on achieving broader market acceptance of its
products, the growth of the product data management market, and the ability of
the Company to introduce enhancements and additional integrations to its
products in a timely manner to meet the evolving needs of its customers. The
Company also relies on certain intellectual property protections to preserve its
intellectual property rights. Any invalidation of the Company's intellectual
property rights or lengthy and expensive defense of those rights could have a
material adverse effect on the Company. The segment of the software industry in
which the Company is engaged is extremely competitive. Certain current and
potential competitors of the Company are more established and benefit from
greater market recognition and have substantially greater financial, development
and marketing resources than the Company. The Company's ability to achieve Year
2000 compliance, and the level of incremental costs associated therewith, could
be adversely impacted by, among other things, the availability and cost of
programming and testing resources, vendors' ability to modify proprietary
software, and unanticipated problems identified in the ongoing compliance
review.

<PAGE>

                       WORKGROUP TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION
                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company's quarterly and annual operating results are impacted by a variety
of factors that could materially adversely affect revenues and profitability,
including the timing and shipment of enhancements to the Company's products and
changes or anticipated changes in economic conditions.  Because the Company's
operating expenses are relatively fixed, an unanticipated shortfall in revenue
in a quarter may have an adverse impact on the Company's results of operations
for that quarter.  As a result of the foregoing and other factors, the Company
may experience material fluctuations in future operating results on a quarterly
or annual basis which could materially and adversely affect its business,
financial condition and stock price.

                        WORKGROUP TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION
                          PART II   OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

        The Company is not a party to any litigation that it believes would have
        a material impact on its business.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

        On July 30, 1999, the Company held its Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
        At the meeting, the Stockholders acted upon a proposal to elect one
        Class I director to serve for a three-year term or until his or her
        successor is elected and qualified. The Board of Directors nominated and
        recommended that Mr. James M. Carney, who is currently a director, be
        elected a Class I director. The proposal was approved by the
        Stockholders. Holders of 6,865,115 shares of common stock voted for the
        proposal. Holders of 15,285 shares abstained and there were no broker
        non-votes. The terms of directors Stephen J. Gaal, Charles E. Moran and
        John P. McDonough continued after the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. In
        addition, on September 20, 1999, Mr. John P. McDonough resigned as a
        Class II director and the Board of Directors elected Mr. Patrick H.
        Kareiva as a Class II director to hold office until the 2000 Annual
        Meeting of Stockholders or until his successor is duly elected and
        qualified.

Item 5. Other Information

        In October 1999, the Board of Directors authorized management actions
        that will result in the discontinuance of development, sales and
        marketing efforts related to the WTC OpCenter product and the Company
        will begin exploring opportunities for the potential license or sale of
        the product line. As a result of this, the Company reduced its workforce
        by approximately 20 percent and will record a related one-time charge
        during the third quarter of fiscal 2000.

        Proposals of stockholders intended for inclusion in the proxy statement
        to be furnished to all stockholders entitled to vote at the next Annual
        Meeting of Stockholders of the Company must be received at the Company's
        principal executive offices not later than March 2, 2000. The deadline
        for providing timely notice to the Company of matters that stockholders
        otherwise desire to introduce at the next annual meeting of stockholders
        of the Company is March 2, 2000, provided, however, notice shall not be
        given prior to February 1, 2000. Further, any proposals must comply with
        the other procedural requirements set forth in the Company's By-laws, a
        copy of which is on file with the SEC, and as set forth by the SEC. In
        order to curtail any controversy as to the date on which a proposal was
        received by the Company, it is suggested that proponents submit their
        proposals by Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested to Workgroup
        Technology Corporation, 91 Hartwell Avenue, Lexington, Massachusetts,
        02421, Attention: Corporate Secretary.
