ITEM 2

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

General

     Carnegie Group, Inc. ("Carnegie Group" or the "Company") provides
user-centered software solutions in two business areas: customer interaction
and logistics, planning, and scheduling. The Company's client/server systems
integrate advanced software technologies with clients' existing computing
infrastructures to automate and enhance complex business processes. The Company
targets its services to clients in the telecommunications, financial services,
manufacturing, government and healthcare industries.

     The Company's expertise encompasses a wide range of advanced software
technologies, including knowledge-based systems, object-oriented technology,
advanced graphical user interfaces, constraint-directed search and distributed
computing. The Company captures certain aspects of its business area experience
and advanced technology expertise in a portfolio of reusable software templates
that can be used as building blocks to create software solutions quickly and
effectively. In addition, Carnegie Group employs an iterative or "spiral"
approach to software design that begins with the construction of a prototype
and continues through testing of successive versions of the software against
project requirements. This iterative design facilitates rapid software
development, encourages client feedback and leads to greater congruence with
client needs and expectations.

     Since inception, Carnegie Group has emphasized relationships with leading
corporations in its targeted industries. These relationships have provided the
Company with opportunities for growth through the provision of additional
services to existing clients and through references to other companies within
the Company's targeted industries. Carnegie Group's clients include U S WEST
Communications, Inc., the United States Transportation Command, Caterpillar
Inc., the U.S. Army, BellSouth Telecommunications, Inc., First USA Bank, Ford
Motor Company and Blue Cross of Western Pennsylvania.

     Backlog at September 30, 1996 decreased to $11.6 million, compared to
$15.1 million at June 30, 1996 and $10.3 million at September 30, 1995. The
Company only includes in backlog signed contracts that either have milestones
yet to be attained or for which the Company can make a reasonable estimate of
work yet to be performed. As most of the contracts in backlog are terminable by
the Company or the client upon short notice, there can be no assurance that
contracts reflected in backlog are a reliable measure of future revenue.

COMPARISON OF QUARTER AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND SEPTEMBER
30, 1995.

         Revenue. Total revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 was
$6.5 million compared to $6.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1995,
an increase of $.1 million or 1.9%. For the nine months ended September 30,
1996 revenue was $21.5 million compared to $19.1 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995, an increase of $2.4 million or 12.8%. This growth
resulted principally from volume increases in sales of software services.

         Total software services revenue for the quarter ended September 30,
1996 was $6.1 million compared to $6.0 million for the quarter ended September
30, 1995, an increase of $.1 million or 1.4%. Software services revenue was
$20.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared to $17.9
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, an increase of $2.5
million or 13.9% These increases were primarily due to an extension of a
logistics, planning and scheduling engagement for a defense industry client.
This engagement was the primary reason that revenue from software
services-unrelated parties was $18.4 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 compared to $15.2 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995.  Revenue from software services-related parties was $2.0
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared to $2.7 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, a decrease of $.7 million or
24.3%. This decrease was primarily due to the completion of customer contact
engagements for a telecommunications industry client. Also, results for the
third quarter and the first nine months of 1996 were affected by the
renegotiation of a fixed-price contract, which resulted in engineers related to
that contract being underutilized.

         Revenue from software licenses was $398,000 for the three month period
ended September 30, 1996, compared to $361,000 for the same three month period
in 1995, an increase of $37,000 or 10.2%. Revenue from software licenses was
$1,061,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared to $1,122,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, a decrease of $61,000 or 5.4%.
The decrease was due to the fact that the sales of reusable software templates
to a telecommunications industry client in 1995 did not reoccur in the first
nine months of 1996.

         Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue consists primarily of salaries and
related benefits for personnel, and also includes an allocated portion of rent,
building services and expenses. For the third quarter of 1996, total cost of
revenue was $4.0 million compared to $3.7 million for the third quarter of
1995, an increase of $.3 million or 8.4%. For the nine months ended September
30, 1996, total cost of revenue was $13.4 million compared to $11.3 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1995, an increase of $2.1 million or 18.5%.
These increases were primarily attributable to the additional hiring of
professional staff to perform the increased volume of software services. Cost
of revenue-related parties was $1.3 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1996 compared to $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995,
a decrease of $.1 million or 8.2%. Cost of revenue-unrelated parties during the
same nine month period was $12.1 million compared to $9.9 million for the nine
month period ended September 30, 1995, an increase of $2.2 million or 22.2%.
The increase was primarily attributable to the reallocation of professional
staff to provide additional software services to unrelated parties following
the completion of customer contact engagements for a telecommunications
industry client. Also, as mentioned earlier, the increased revenue from
software services-unrelated parties for the extension of a logistics planning
and scheduling engagement for a defense industry client required an increase in
associated costs.

         Research and Development. Research and development expenses for the
quarter ended September 30, 1996 were $347,000 compared to $147,000 for the
third quarter of 1995, an increase of $200,000 or 136.6%. For the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 research and development expenses were $814,000
compared to $472,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, an increase
of $342,000 or 72.6%. These increases were primarily due to development of
various templates for the services areas of the business.

         Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and
administrative expenses include costs of proposal development and proposal
writing, marketing communications and advertising, sales and management staff,
and corporate services functions including accounting, human resources and
legal services, along with corporate executive staff. For the third quarter of
1996, selling, general and administrative expenses were $1.6 million compared
to $1.9 million for the third quarter of 1995, a decrease of $.3 million or
12.4%. This decrease was primarily due to lower expense accruals for
performance-based incentive compensation. Selling, general and administrative
expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 were $5.8 million
compared to $5.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, an
increase of $.5 million or 10.7%. These increases resulted primarily from
increased sales and marketing expenses needed to support the Company's total
revenue growth along with increased insurance and professional services
expenses related to being a newly public company. As a percentage of total
revenue, these expenses decreased slightly from 27.6% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 to 27.1% in 1996.

         Other Income (Expense). Total other income for the third quarter of
1996 was $157,000 compared to total other expense of $10,000 in 1995, an
increase of $167,000 or 1,682.7%. For the nine months ended September 30, 1996,
total other income was $459,000 compared to total other expense of $23,000 in
1995 an increase of $482,000 or 1,982.2%. These increases were due primarily to
interest income earned on the net proceeds received in December, 1995 from the
Company's initial public offering, which were invested in an interest-bearing
account.

         Income Tax Provision. An income tax provision of $276,000 was recorded
for the third quarter of 1996 and $758,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 1996 compared to $118,000 and $359,000 respectively for the quarter and
nine months ended September 30, 1995. The effective tax rates for 1996 are
higher than the effective rates for the comparable periods of 1995, due
principally to changes in estimates of the realization of deferred tax assets
related to the Company's net operating loss carryforwards in accordance with
Accounting Standard No. 109.

         SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," requires a valuation
allowance when it is "more likely than not that some portion or all of the
deferred tax assets will not be realized." It further states that "forming a
conclusion that a valuation allowance is not needed is difficult when there is
negative evidence such as cumulative losses in recent years." The ultimate
realization of its deferred income tax asset depends on the Company's ability
to generate sufficient taxable income in the future. The Company has weighed
the negative objective evidence of recent results and dependence upon limited
number of customers, as well as other risk factors on the one hand, and the
positive subjective evidence of future expectations, on the other hand, and has
concluded that retaining a portion of the valuation allowance is appropriate.

         In estimating the amount of its realizable deferred tax asset, the
Company gives substantial weight to recent historical results. Significant
changes in circumstances or in enacted tax laws which affect the valuation
allowance are recorded when they occur. The Company's annual strategic business
planning process takes place in the fourth quarter of the year, and the
valuation allowance is adjusted for future years' income expectations resulting
from that process. When preparing subsequent interim and annual financial
statements, the Company reevaluates whether there has been any significant
change in the assumptions underlying its plan and adjusts the valuation
allowance as necessary.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The Company has funded its operations in recent years primarily
through cash generated from operations and the use of cash reserves. In 1995
the Company also funded its operations in


                                       9

part through borrowing under available lines of credit and through the net 
proceeds of the initial public offering of its Common Stock consummated in 
December 1995.

         During the first nine months of 1996 the Company had a net cash
increase of $1,801,000 on increases in cash from operating activities.

         The Company experienced growth in revenue earned but not yet billed for
the quarter ended September 30, 1996. Due to strong collection efforts,
receivables billed and collected have decreased. The net change of all accounts
receivable was a decrease of $538,000 for the quarter. Invoicing of amounts to
clients generally occurs within 45 days of time and materials cost incurrence,
unless a specific schedule is agreed upon, and payment follows invoicing in
accordance with customary terms. The Company has not experienced any significant
write-downs of receivables, nor does the Company expect that payments are
doubtful; accordingly, the Company has not made any allowance for doubtful
accounts.

         Advance billings and deferred revenue at September 30, 1996 increased
$76,000 when compared to December 31, 1995. Advanced billings and deferred
revenue balances normally will change from period to period. Any increase would
reflect billings in advance of revenue earned, but which were billed in
accordance with established or agreed billings schedules. These amounts are
recorded as deferred revenue until earned. The timing and magnitude of such
advance billings vary from contract to contract and from client to client.

         The Company has a committed line of credit agreement in the amount of
$3.5 million in place with PNC Bank, N.A. (the "Bank"). No borrowings were
outstanding against the committed line of credit at September 30, 1996 and
December 31, 1995. Borrowings under this agreement are collateralized by
accounts receivable. This line of credit bears interest at the Bank's prime
interest rate and the Bank charges a 0.15% fee per annum on the unused portion
of that line of credit. The Bank's prime interest rate at September 30, 1996
was 8 1/4% compared to 8 1/2% at December 31, 1995.

         The Company believes that the net proceeds from the sale of Common
Stock in the Company's initial public offering, together with cash balances,
cash generated from operations and borrowing available under its line of
credit, will satisfy the Company's working capital and capital expenditure
requirements during fiscal year 1996 and the foreseeable period thereafter. In
the longer term, the Company may require additional sources of liquidity to
fund future growth. Such sources of liquidity may include additional equity
offerings or debt financings. Capital expenditures are typically made for
computing equipment, software, physical plant, and furniture and fixtures in
order to seek enhancements in the productivity of the Company's employees and
to support growth.

         In the normal course of business, the Company evaluates acquisitions
of businesses, products and technologies that complement the Company's
business.  The Company has no present plans, intentions, understandings,
commitments or agreements, nor is it currently engaged in any negotiations,
with respect to any such transaction. However, the Company may acquire
businesses, products or technologies in the future.

         To the extent that any written or oral statement made by the Company,
including statements made herein, are deemed to be forward looking statements,
reference is made to the factors beginning on page 27 of the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995, as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, as important factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those in any such forward looking
statements.
