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.

INVENTORIES

Inventories, which consist primarily of test equipment, are stated at the lower

and manufacturing overhead. Inventories consisted of the following (in

NOTE PAYABLE

In May 1996, the Company's wholly owned real estate partnership, River Oaks
Place Associates L.P. (the Partnership), entered into a $20 million long-term
financing arrangement (the Loan) with a bank. The financing agreement expires on
December 31, 2005, and requires quarterly principal payments beginning on
September 30, 1996 in amounts ranging from $.4 million to $.7 million. The
Partnership has the option to pay interest at the London Interbank Offering Rate
(LIBOR) plus 1.5% or the higher of the bank's prime rate plus 0.5% or the
Federal Funds rate plus 1.5%. The Loan is secured by the real and personal
properties of the Partnership. In connection with the Loan agreement, the
Company extended its lease agreements with the Partnership until December 31,
2005 and minimum lease payments under the agreements have been assigned as
security under the Loan agreement.

LINE OF CREDIT

In April 1996, the Company entered into a senior secured revolving credit
facility (the Facility) which allows the Company to borrow up to $120.0 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 plus 1.5%, or the higher of the federal funds effective rate plus .5% or
prime. The Company must comply with certain financial covenants and conditions
as defined in the Facility which the Company was in compliance with at June 29,
1996. As of June 29, 1996, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the
Facility.

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
(Avant!, formed by a merger of companies formerly known as ArcSys, Inc. and ISS,
Inc.) 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, and on April 12, 1996, Avant! filed a First
Amended Counterclaim. The amended counterclaim alleges, 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 amended
counterclaim also alleges that certain Company insiders engaged in illegal
insider trading with respect to Avant!'s stock. 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. By an
order dated July 13, 1996, the court bifurcated Avant!'s counterclaim from the
Company's complaint.

5
8
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 effect 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 June 29,
1996, the Company had authorized the repurchase of 55.6 million shares, of which
approximately 44.0 million shares had been repurchased. Included in the
authorized 55.6 million shares are 4.5 million shares authorized for repurchase
by the Board of Directors in May 1996, that are subject to certain constraints.
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 has
sold 15.7 million put warrants through private placement. As of June 29, 1996,
15.1 million of these warrants had expired out of the money. The remaining
outstanding .6 million warrants entitle the holder to sell one share of common
stock to the Company on a specified date at $34.92 per share. Additionally,
during this same period, the Company purchased approximately 11.8 million call
options that entitled the Company to buy on a specified date one share of common
stock, at a specified price. As of June 29, 1996, the Company had repurchased
11.4 million common shares pursuant to the exercise of call options for $125.1
million. The remaining .4 million outstanding call options have a price of
$35.17 per share. Subsequent to June 29, 1996 the Company sold an additional 1.9
million put warrants which entitle the holder to sell one share of common stock
to the Company on a specified date at a specified price ranging from $34.39 to
$36.11 per share and purchased 1.4 million call options that entitle the Company
to buy on a specified date one share of common stock, at a specified price
ranging from $34.64 to $36.36 per share.

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 exercise price of the put warrants 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 June 29, 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.

STOCK SPLIT

In May, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors effected a three-for-two stock
split, which was paid 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 resulted in the issuance of approximately 38.5 million additional
shares of common stock from authorized but unissued shares. All share and per
share data have been adjusted to 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.

</TABLE>


International revenue was approximately $91.1 million and $61.9 million or 51%
and 48% of total revenue for the three months ended June 29, 1996 and July 1,
1995, respectively. For the six month period ended June 29, 1996, revenue from
international sources was $166.0 million, representing 49% of total revenue as
compared to $125.0 million, representing 51% of total revenue for the comparable
period in 1995. The increases in revenue from international sources when
comparing 1996 results to the comparable 1995 periods are attributable to sales
growth and new Spectrum service contracts in all regions. The increase in
international revenue in the second quarter of 1996 compared with the second
quarter of 1995 more than offset the negative impact of $7.3 million on revenue
as the result of the weakening of certain foreign currencies, primarily the
Japanese yen, in relation to the U.S. dollar.

The increase in product revenue for the three and six months ended June 29, 1996
as compared with the same periods of the prior year 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 automatic place and route, physical
verification and timing-driven design process tools.

Service revenue increased for the three and six months ended June 29, 1996 as
compared with the same periods of the prior year. The increase in service
revenue was the result of increased demand for the Company's Spectrum Services
offerings. Additionally, revenue for the six months ended June 29, 1996 included
a full six months 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 three and six month periods ended
June 29, 1996 as compared to the three and six month periods ended July 1, 1995,
was attributable to an increase in the Company's installed base of products.

</TABLE>


Cost of product revenue includes costs of production personnel, packaging and
documentation, amortization of capitalized software development costs and
purchased software costs and costs of the Company's automated test equipment
hardware business. The increase in cost of product in absolute dollars for the
quarter and six months ended June 29, 1996 as compared to the quarter and six
months ended July 1, 1995 was due to higher amortization of purchased software
costs resulting from 1996 purchases and the write-off of approximately $1.6
million of capitalized software development costs related to products at the end
of their life cycle. The decrease in cost of product as a percentage of product
revenue for the quarter and six months ended June 29, 1996 as compared to the
quarter and six months ended July 1, 1995 was primarily due to consolidation and
centralization of the Japanese production process.

Cost of service revenue includes personnel and related costs associated with
providing services to customers and the infrastructure to manage a service
organization, as well as costs to recruit, develop and retain service
professionals. Cost of service increased in total dollars due to increased
service revenue and the continued development of this line of business.
Additionally, the costs for the six months ended June 29, 1996 included a full
six months of expenses related to the March 1995 outsourcing agreement with
Unisys 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 the Company are also intended to be used to
support other customers' design needs. In the first half 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 fully utilized
through additional revenue contracts or until further operating efficiencies are
obtained, service gross margins could continue to be negatively impacted.
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 and as a percentage of
maintenance revenue due to additional on-site support costs necessary to support
a larger installed base.

The increase in marketing and sales expenses, for the three and six month
periods ended June 29, 1996, as compared to the same periods in the prior year,
was primarily the result of increases in employee related expenses attributable
to increased headcount. Weakening of certain foreign currencies in relation to
the U.S. dollar favorably impacted marketing and sales expenses by approximately
$2.3 million and $3.1 million for the three and six month periods ended June 29,
1996, respectively, as compared to the prior year.

The Company's investment in research and development, prior to the reduction for
capitalization of software development costs, was $32.9 million and $25.6
million for the quarters ended June 29, 1996 and July 1, 1995, respectively,
representing 19% and 20% of total revenue. Capitalization of software
development costs for the quarters ended June 29, 1996 and July 1, 1995 was $3.7
million and $2.9 million, respectively, which represented 11% of total research
and development expenditures made in each of those periods. For the six months
ended June 29, 1996, gross research and development expenses were $62.1 million
compared to $49.4 million for the same period in 1995, after capitalization of
$6.9 million and $5.9 million which represented 11% and 12% of total research
and development expenditures made in those periods, respectively. The expense
increases for the three and six month periods of 1996 as compared to 1995 were
primarily attributable to increases in salary related costs due to increased
headcount and higher consulting and other outside service costs. 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 three and six month periods
ended June 29, 1996 as compared to the same periods of the prior year primarily
as a result of higher legal costs of $1.8 million and $3.7 million,
respectively. In addition, the Company incurred higher outside service and
consulting costs and increased headcount related expenses.

Net other expense for the quarter ended June 29, 1996 was $.8 million of expense
compared with $.2 million of income for the same period in 1995. For the six
months ended June 29, 1996, net other expense was $1.2 million of expense
compared with $.2 million of expense for the same period in 1995. The increase
in net other expense for the three and six month periods ended June 29, 1996 was
primarily the result of a $.9 million and $1.5 million increase, respectively,
in minority interest expense primarily related to Integrated Measurement
Systems, Inc., the Company's majority-owned subsidiary.

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 June 29, 1996, the Company's principal sources of liquidity consisted of
$99.1 million of cash and short-term investments as compared to $76.5 million at
July 1, 1995 and a three-year, $120 million secured revolving line of credit
agreement. As of June 29, 1996, the Company had no borrowings under the
revolving line of credit.

Cash generated from operating activities increased $12.2 million for the six
months ended June 29, 1996, as compared to the six months ended July 1, 1995.
The increase was due to higher net income and an increase in accrued liabilities
and payables and deferred revenue; offset by an increase in accounts receivable.

At June 29, 1996, the Company had a working capital surplus of $1.8 million
compared with $6.5 million at December 30, 1995. The primary reasons for the
decrease were increases in deferred revenue of $22.7 million, partly offset by a
decrease in income tax payable of $8.3 million and an increase in prepaid
expenses and other current assets of $8.2 million. The increase in deferred
revenue was attributable to increased maintenance renewals and an increase in
deferred product revenue in accordance with the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants Statement of Position 91-1 entitled "Software Revenue
Recognition." The increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets was due
to an increase in other receivables.

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 $45.9 million and $25.1 million of cash used for investing
activities in the six months ended June 29, 1996 and July 1, 1995, respectively.

The Company has an authorized stock repurchase program. In total, as of June 29,
1996, the Company had authorized the repurchase of 55.6 million shares, of which
approximately 44.0 million shares had been repurchased. Included in the
authorized 55.6 million shares are 4.5 million shares authorized for repurchase
by the Board of Directors in May 1996, that are subject to certain constraints.
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 as an indicator of future repurchases.

Since 1994, as part of its authorized stock repurchase program, the Company has
sold 15.7 million put warrants and purchased 11.8 million call options through
private placements. The Company had a maximum potential obligation related to
the put warrants at June 29, 1996 to buy back .6 million shares of its common
stock at an aggregate price of approximately $20.0 million. The put warrants
will expire in June 1997. Subsequent to June 29, 1996, the Company sold an
additional 1.9 million put warrants which entitle the holder to sell one share
of common stock to the Company on a specified date at a specified price ranging
from $34.39 to $36.11 per share and purchased 1.4 million call options that
entitle the Company to buy on a specified date one share of common stock, at a
specified price ranging from $34.64 to $36.36 per share.

Anticipated cash requirements for fiscal 1996 include the purchase of treasury
stock through the exercise of call options and in the open market and the
contemplated additions of property, plant and equipment of approximately $32.0
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 $25.0 million will be made over
the next three to four years. As of June 29, 1996, the Company had contributed
approximately $5.0 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 service
professionals and the ability to profitably deliver solutions to increasingly
complex customer design challenges. Growth of the service business is
constrained by the Company's ability to hire and train service professionals to
keep pace with demand. The Company's profitability could be adversely affected
if it is unable to develop its service business as expected.

It is anticipated that international revenue will continue to constitute a
significant portion of total revenue. International revenue is subject to
certain additional risks normally associated with international operations,
including, among others, adoption and expansion of government trade
restrictions, volatile foreign exchange 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
(Avant!, formed by a merger of companies formerly known as ArcSys, Inc. and ISS,
Inc.) 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, and on April 12, 1996, Avant! filed a First
Amended Counterclaim. The amended counterclaim alleges, 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

11
14
unfairly compete against Avant! in the marketplace. The amended counterclaim
also alleges that certain Company insiders engaged in illegal insider trading
with respect to Avant!'s stock. 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. By an order dated July 13,
1996, the court bifurcated Avant!'s counterclaim from the Company's complaint.

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 effect on the Company's
financial position or results of operations.
