NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been
prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These
condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's annual
report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 1995.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein
reflect all adjustments (which include only normal, recurring adjustments) that
are, in the opinion of management, necessary to state fairly the results for the
periods presented. The results for such periods are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

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 disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company's fiscal year is determined based upon the 52 - 53 week period
ending on the Saturday closest to December 31.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD

In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based
Compensation" which was adopted by the Company this year. SFAS No. 123 allows
companies that have stock-based compensation arrangements with employees to
adopt a new fair-value basis of accounting for stock options and other equity
instruments, or to continue to apply the existing rules under Accounting
Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees" but with additional financial statement disclosure. The Company
continues to account for employee stock-based compensation arrangements under
APB Opinion No. 25, and therefore SFAS No. 123 did not have a material impact on
its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NET INCOME PER SHARE

Net income per share for each period is calculated by dividing net income by the
weighted average shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding
during the period (calculated using the modified treasury stock method). Common
stock equivalents consist of dilutive shares issuable upon the exercise of
outstanding common stock options and warrants. Fully diluted net income per
share is substantially the same as primary net income per share. Net income per
share has been adjusted to retroactively reflect the three-for-two stock split
discussed in the Subsequent Events note to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements.

INVENTORIES

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is involved in various disputes and litigation matters which have
arisen in the ordinary course of business. These include disputes and lawsuits
related to intellectual property, contract law and employee relations matters.

The Company filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the
Northern District of California on December 6, 1995 against Avant! Corporation
(formerly known as ArcSys, Inc., "Avant!") and certain of its employees for
misappropriation of trade secrets, copyright infringement, conspiracy and other
illegalities.

On January 16, 1996, Avant! filed various counterclaims against the Company and
the Company's President and CEO, alleging, inter alia, that the Company and its
President and CEO had cooperated with the Santa Clara County District Attorney
and initiated and pursued its complaint against Avant! for anticompetitive
reasons, engaged in wrongful activity in an attempt to manipulate Avant!'s stock
price and utilized certain pricing policies and other acts to unfairly compete
against Avant! in the marketplace. The counterclaim also alleges that certain
unspecified Company insiders engaged in illegal insider trading with respect to
Avant!'s stock. On April 12, 1996, Avant! filed a First Amended Counterclaim
against the Company and its President and CEO. The Company and its President and
CEO continue to believe that each has meritorious defenses to Avant!'s amended
counterclaims, and each intends to defend such action vigorously.

On April 19, 1996, the Company filed a motion seeking a preliminary injunction
to prevent Avant! from continuing to market ArcCell and ArcCell XO, two software
lines which the Company alleges were misappropriated. A hearing on the motion is
anticipated to take place in the third quarter of 1996.

Management believes that the ultimate resolution of the disputes and litigation
matters discussed above will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's
financial position or results of operations.

PUT WARRANTS AND CALL OPTIONS

The Company has an authorized stock repurchase program. In total, as of March
30, 1996, the Company had authorized the repurchase of 55.6 million shares of
which approximately 43.0 million shares had been repurchased. The Company
repurchases common stock in part to satisfy estimated requirements for shares to
be issued under its employee stock option and stock purchase plans as well as in
connection with acquisitions.

Since 1994, as part of its authorized stock repurchase program, the Company sold
15.1 million put warrants through private placement. As of March 30, 1996, 14.4
million of these warrants had expired out of the money. The remaining
outstanding .7 million warrants entitle the holder to sell one share of common
stock to the Company on a specified date at a specified price ranging from
$22.00 to $22.02 per share. Additionally, during this same period, the Company
purchased approximately 11.4 million call options that entitled the Company to
buy on a specified date one share of common stock, at a specified price. As of
March 30, 1996, the Company had repurchased 10.8 million common shares pursuant
to the exercise of call options for $112.7 million. The remaining .6 million
outstanding call options range in price from $22.22 to $22.24 per share.


7
8
The Company has the right to settle the put warrants with stock, cash or a
combination of stock and cash equal to the difference between the exercise price
and the fair value at the date of exercise. Settlement of the put warrants with
stock could cause the Company to issue a substantial number of shares, depending
on the amounts of the repurchase obligations and the per share fair value of the
Company's common stock at the time of exercise. In addition, settlement of put
warrants in stock or cash could lead to the disposition by put warrant holders
of shares of the Company's common stock that such holders may have accumulated
in anticipation of the exercise of the put warrants or call options, which may
impact the trading price of the Company's common stock. At March 30, 1996, the
Company had both the unconditional right and the intent to settle these put
warrants with stock, and therefore, no amount was classified out of
stockholders' equity in the accompanying balance sheet. The effect of the
exercise of these put warrants and call options is reported in stockholders'
equity.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In April 1996, the Company entered into a senior secured revolving credit
facility (the "Facility") which allows the Company to borrow up to $120 million
through April 1999. The security for the Facility includes the majority of the
Company's property, plant and equipment, cash, investments, intangibles, and
certain other assets. The Company has the option to pay interest based upon
LIBOR (London Interbank Offering Rate) plus 1.5% or the higher of the federal
funds effective rate plus .5% or prime. The Company must comply with certain
covenants and conditions as defined in the Facility. As of May 10, 1996, the
Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Facility.

On May 3, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors declared a three-for-two stock
split, payable May 31, 1996, in the form of a dividend of one additional share
of the Company's common stock for every two shares owned by stockholders as of
the record date, May 16, 1996. Par value remained at $0.01 per share. The stock
split will result in the issuance of approximately 26.0 million additional
shares of common stock from authorized but unissued shares. Accordingly, all
share and per share data have been adjusted to retroactively reflect the stock
split.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Except for the historical information contained herein, the following
discussion contains forward looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those
discussed herein. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences
include, but are not limited to, those discussed below in Factors That May
Affect Future Results.

====== ======
Sources of Revenue as a Percent of Total Revenue

Product 55% 54%
Service 14% 9%
Maintenance 31% 37%
</TABLE>

Revenue from international sources was approximately $74.9 million and $63.1
million or 46% and 54% of total revenue for the three months ended March 30,
1996 and April 1, 1995, respectively. The increase in domestic revenue as a
percentage of total revenue was attributable to increased sales volume in the
product and service areas. During the quarter ended March 30, 1996, there was a
negative impact of $2.5 million on revenue as the result of the weakening of
certain foreign currencies, primarily the Japanese yen, in relation to the U.S.
dollar as compared to the quarter ended April 1, 1995.

Product revenue for the first quarter ended March 30, 1996 increased 45%
compared with the same period of the prior year. The increase in product revenue
was primarily the result of increased demand for the Company's products which
enable customers to meet complex design challenges, including deep sub-micron IC
design. This was exemplified by increased sales volume of its custom layout,
automatic place and route and verification products.

Service revenue increased significantly in the first quarter of 1996 when
compared to the first quarter of 1995. The increase in service revenue was the
result of increased demand for the Company's Spectrum Services offerings.
Additionally, revenue for the quarter ended March 30, 1996 included a full
quarter of revenue related to the March 1995 outsourcing agreement with Unisys
Corporation ("Unisys") to assume substantial portions of Unisys' internal
silicon design operation.

The increase in maintenance revenue for the quarter ended March 30, 1996 as
compared to the quarter ended April 1, 1995, was attributable to an increase in
the Company's installed base of products as well as the Company's continued
effort toward obtaining customer renewals of maintenance.

Maintenance $ 5.2 $ 3.9 32%

Cost of Revenue as a Percent of Related Revenue

Product 12% 19%
Service 76% 88%
Maintenance 10% 9%
</TABLE>

Cost of product revenue includes costs of production personnel, packaging and
documentation, amortization of capitalized software development costs and costs
of the Company's automated test equipment ("ATE") hardware business. The
decrease in cost of product in absolute dollars and as a percentage of product
revenue for the quarter ended March 30, 1996 as compared to the quarter ended
April 1, 1995 was primarily due to consolidation of the software release and
production process, partly offset by increased cost of revenue associated with
its ATE products resulting from higher product demand.

Cost of service revenue includes personnel and related costs associated with
providing services to customers and the infrastructure to manage a services
organization, as well as costs to recruit, develop and retain services
professionals. Cost of service increased in total dollars due to the development
of this line of business. Additionally, the costs for the quarter ended March
30, 1996 included a full quarter of expenses related to the March 1995
outsourcing agreement with Unisys Corporation to assume substantial portions of
Unisys' internal silicon design operation. As part of this agreement, the
Company retained approximately 180 hardware and software designers and acquired
fixed assets and certain intangibles. While primarily focused on serving the
needs of Unisys, the design and service resources acquired by Cadence are also
intended to be used to support other customers' design needs. In the first
quarter of 1996, as the Company utilized more of its design and service
resources to generate revenue, cost of service as a percentage of service
revenue decreased as compared to the prior year. However, until these design and
service resources are utilized through additional revenue contracts or until
further operating efficiencies are obtained, service gross margins could
continue to be adversely affected. Additionally, the cost of integrating new
services professionals performing a growing number of service offerings will
also put pressure on service gross margins until operating efficiencies are
obtained.

Cost of maintenance revenue includes the cost of customer services such as
hot-line and on-site support and the production cost of the maintenance renewal
process. Cost of maintenance increased in total dollars due to additional costs
necessary to support a larger installed base.

Expenses as a Percent of Total Revenue

Marketing and sales 32% 36%
Research and development 16% 18%
General and administrative 8% 8%
</TABLE>

The increase in marketing and sales expenses was primarily the result of a $9.6
million increase in employee related expenses attributable to increased
headcount and increased commissions and sales incentives due to higher bookings.
Marketing and sales expenses were favorably impacted by $.7 million in the
quarter ended March 30, 1996 as compared to the quarter ended April 1, 1995 as
the result of the weakening of certain foreign currencies in relation to the U.S
dollar.

The Company's investment in research and development, prior to the reduction for
capitalization of software development costs, was $29.2 and $23.8 million for
the quarters ended March 30, 1996 and April 1, 1995, respectively, representing
18% and 21% of total revenue. The increase of $5.4 million was driven by an
increase of $3.0 million of salary related costs due to increased headcount and
an increase of $1.3 million in consulting and other outside services costs.
Capitalization of software development costs for the quarters ended March 30,
1996 and April 1, 1995 was $3.2 million and $2.9 million, respectively, which
represented 11% and 12% of total research and development expenditures made in
each of those periods. In any given period, the amount of capitalized software
development costs may vary depending on the exact nature of the development
performed.

General and administrative expenses increased in the quarter ended March 30,
1996 as compared to the same period of the prior year primarily as a result of
higher legal costs of $1.9 million. In addition, the Company incurred higher
outside service and consulting costs of $.5 million and increased headcount
related expenses.

As compared to the quarter ended April 1, 1995, net other expense was relatively
constant at $.4 million for the first quarter ended March 30, 1996.

The Company's estimated annual effective tax rate for fiscal 1996 is 33% as
compared to an annual effective tax rate of 28% for fiscal 1995. This estimated
increase in the tax rate is based on the limited availability of net operating
losses and tax credits and the potential effect of earnings generated in
countries which have a tax rate greater than the U.S. tax rate.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At March 30, 1996, the Company's principal sources of liquidity consisted of
$83.2 million of cash and short-term investments as compared to $111.2 million
at April 1, 1995. In addition, subsequent to March 30, 1996, the Company entered
into a three year, $120 million secured revolving line of credit agreement. As
of May 10, 1996, the Company had no borrowings under the revolving line of
credit.

Cash generated from operating activities increased $1.7 million for the quarter
ended March 30, 1996, as compared to the quarter ended April 1, 1995. The
increase was due to higher net income and an increase in accrued liabilities and
payables; offset by an increase in accounts receivable.

At March 30, 1996, the Company had a working capital deficit of $13.1 million
compared with a working capital surplus of $6.5 million at December 30, 1995.
The primary reasons for the deficit were increases in deferred revenue of $22.1
million and a decrease in cash and short-term investments of $13.5 million,
partly offset by a decrease in accrued liabilities and income taxes payable of
$10.9 million. The increase in deferred revenue was attributable to increased
maintenance renewals and an increase in deferred product revenue in accordance
with the


11
12
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 91-1
entitled "Software Revenue Recognition." The decrease in cash was primarily due
to the Company's stock repurchase activity in the quarter ended March 30, 1996.
The decrease in accrued liabilities and income taxes payable was due to
commissions and incentive bonus payments during the quarter and payment of
income taxes.

In addition to its short-term investments, the Company's primary investing
activities were purchases of property and equipment, purchases of software and
intangibles and the capitalization of software development costs, which
combined, represented $23.6 million and $15.4 million of cash used for investing
activities in the quarters ended March 30, 1996, and April 1, 1995,
respectively.

The Company has an authorized stock repurchase program. In total, as of March
30, 1996, the Company had authorized the repurchase of 55.6 million shares, of
which approximately 43.0 million shares had been repurchased. The Company
repurchases common stock in part to satisfy estimated requirements for shares to
be issued under the Company's employee stock option and stock purchase plans as
well as in connection with acquisitions. Past repurchase activity should not be
considered an indicator of future repurchases.

Since 1994, as part of its authorized stock repurchase program, the Company has
sold 15.1 million put warrants and purchased 11.4 million call options through
private placements. The Company had a maximum potential obligation related to
the put warrants at March 30, 1996 to buy back .7 million shares of its common
stock at an aggregate price of approximately $16.3 million. The put warrants
expired out of the money in April 1996.

Anticipated cash requirements for fiscal 1996 include the purchase of treasury
stock through the exercise of the Company's call options and in the open market.
The Company repurchased .6 million shares through the exercise of call options
during April 1996 at a cost of approximately $12.4 million. Other cash
requirements for the remainder of fiscal 1996 include contemplated additions of
property, plant and equipment of approximately $45 million.

As part of its overall investment strategy, the Company has committed to
participating in a venture capital partnership as a limited partner. The
Company's total committed investment of at least $25 million will be made over
the next three to four years. As of March 30, 1996, the Company had contributed
approximately $2.0 million, which is reflected in other assets in the
accompanying balance sheet.

The Company anticipates that current cash and short-term investment balances,
cash flows from operations, and the $120 million revolving line of credit will
be sufficient to meet its working capital and capital expenditure requirements
on a short and long-term basis.

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

The Company competes in the highly competitive EDA market which continues to be
characterized by aggressive pricing practices, rapid technological change and
new market entrants. The Company's success is dependent upon its ability to
develop innovative, cost-competitive EDA software products and services, and to
bring them to market in a timely manner.

The Company's future operating results are dependent on the Company's ability to
successfully implement its strategy to help its customers meet their business
objectives by developing custom solutions that leverage and improve the people,
process and technology they use for product development. The Company
accomplishes this through a combination of technology and services. Inherent in
implementing this strategy are a number of risks that the Company must manage
and that could affect its future operating results. These risks include the
ability to successfully recruit, train and retain its skilled services
professionals and the ability to profitably deliver solutions to increasingly
complex customer design challenges. Growth of the services business is
constrained by the Company's ability to hire and train services professionals to
keep pace with demand. The Company's profitability could be adversely affected
if it is unable to develop its services business as expected.

It is anticipated that international revenue will continue to constitute a
significant portion of total revenue. International revenues are subject to
certain additional risks normally associated with international operations,
including, among others, adoption and expansion of government trade
restrictions, volatile foreign exchange


12
13
rates, currency conversion risks, limitations on repatriation of earnings and
reduced protection of intellectual property rights.

The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the impact
of foreign currency fluctuations. Though the Company attempts to reduce the
impact of foreign currency fluctuations, significant exchange rate movements may
have a material adverse impact on the Company's results of operations.

The Company's operating expenses are partially based on its expectations of
future revenue. The Company's results of operations may be adversely affected if
revenue does not materialize in a quarter as expected. Since expense levels are
usually committed in advance of revenues and because only a small portion of
expenses vary with revenue, the Company's operating results may be impacted
significantly by lower revenue. Based on the Company's operating history and
factors that may cause fluctuations in the quarterly results, quarter to quarter
comparisons should not be relied upon as indicators of future performance.

Due to the foregoing, as well as other factors, past financial performance
should not be considered an indicator of future performance. In addition, the
Company's participation in a highly dynamic industry often results in
significant volatility of the Company's common stock price. Any change in
revenues or operating results below levels expected by securities analysts for
the Company or its competitors, and the timing of the announcement of such
shortfalls, could have an immediate and significant adverse effect on the
trading price of the Company's common stock in any given period.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is involved in various disputes and litigation matters which have
arisen in the ordinary course of business. These include disputes and lawsuits
related to intellectual property, contract law and employee relations matters.

The Company filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the
Northern District of California on December 6, 1995 against Avant! Corporation
(formerly known as ArcSys, Inc., "Avant!") and certain of its employees for
misappropriation of trade secrets, copyright infringement, conspiracy and other
illegalities.

On January 16, 1996, Avant! filed various counterclaims against the Company and
the Company's President and CEO, alleging, inter alia, that the Company and its
President and CEO had cooperated with the Santa Clara County District Attorney
and initiated and pursued its complaint against Avant! for anticompetitive
reasons, engaged in wrongful activity in an attempt to manipulate Avant!'s stock
price and utilized certain pricing policies and other acts to unfairly compete
against Avant! in the marketplace. The counterclaim also alleges that certain
unspecified Company insiders engaged in illegal insider trading with respect to
Avant!'s stock. On April 12, 1996, Avant! filed a First Amended Counterclaim
against the Company and its President and CEO. The Company and its President and
CEO continue to believe that each has meritorious defenses to Avant!'s amended
counterclaims, and each intends to defend such action vigorously.

On April 19, 1996, the Company filed a motion seeking a preliminary injunction
to prevent Avant! from continuing to market ArcCell and ArcCell XO, two software
lines which the Company alleges were misappropriated. A hearing on the motion is
anticipated to take place in the third quarter of 1996.

Management believes that the ultimate resolution of the disputes and litigation
matters discussed above will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's
financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

On May 3, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors effected a three-for-two stock
split, payable May 31, 1996, in the form of a dividend of one additional share
of the Company's common stock for every two shares owned by stockholders as of
the record date, May 16, 1996. Par value remained at $0.01 per share. The stock
split will result in the issuance of approximately 26.0 million additional
shares of common stock from authorized but

14
unissued shares. Accordingly, all share and per share data have been adjusted to
retroactively reflect the stock split.
