                 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                     (UNAUDITED)
                                           

1.  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 ("SEC").  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 for the year ended 
    December 31, 1996 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

    The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein 
    reflect all 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 ending December 31, 1997, or any other future 
    periods.

2.  NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

    In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") 
    issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, 
    "Earnings Per Share," which will be adopted by the Company in the fourth 
    quarter of 1997. SFAS No. 128 requires companies to compute net income 
    per share under two different methods, basic and diluted, and to disclose 
    the methodology used for the calculation.  SFAS No. 128 requires 
    restatement of all prior-period earnings per share data presented.  If 
    SFAS No. 128 had been applied by the Company during the second quarter of 
    1997 and 1996, basic net income per share would have been $.07 and $.04 
    and diluted net income per share would have been $.07 and $.03, 
    respectively.  If SFAS No. 128 had been applied by the Company for the 
    six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, basic net income per share would 
    have been $.14 and $.07 and diluted net income per share would have been 
    $.13 and $.05, respectively.

    In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 129, "Disclosure Information 
    about Capital Structure", which will be adopted by the Company in the 
    fourth quarter of 1997.  SFAS No. 129 requires companies to disclose 
    certain information about their capital structure.  The Company does not 
    anticipate that SFAS No. 129 will have a material impact on its financial 
    statement disclosures.

    In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued 
    Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting 
    Comprehensive Income," which is effective for fiscal periods beginning 
    after December 15, 1997.  The Company anticipates that this adoption will 
    not have a material effect on its financial statements.

    In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued 
    Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 131, 
    "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," 
    which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.  
    The Company anticipates that this adoption will not have a material 
    effect on its financial statements.

3.  NET INCOME PER SHARE

    Net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of 
    common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.  
    Common equivalent shares consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of 
    stock options using the treasury stock method.  Pursuant to SEC Staff 
    Accounting Bulletins ("SAB") and staff policy, such computations for the 
    three and six months ended June 30, 1996 

                                    6
<PAGE>

    include all common and common equivalent shares issued within the 12 
    months preceding the filing date of the Company's Initial Public Offering 
    as if they were outstanding for the entire period presented (using the 
    treasury stock method and an initial public offering price of $12.00 per 
    share for stock options).

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

OVERVIEW  The Company was founded in 1979 to develop, market and support 
physical simulation software for IC design and manufacturing.  The Company's 
original products were based on research done at Stanford University, and, 
until 1988, the Company was focused primarily on research and development.  
In 1988, the Company hired additional management, established an engineering 
strategy, added distribution channels and marketing capabilities and began to 
position its products with a more commercial focus.  Today, the Company sells 
twelve products in six product groups and strives to offer regular updates 
for its products.

The Company's revenue consists primarily of fees for licenses of the 
Company's software products and fees for maintenance and customer support.  
Products typically are licensed on a perpetual basis, with pricing determined 
by the number of concurrent users.  The Company recognizes revenue from 
software licenses when software has been shipped and there are no significant 
remaining vendor obligations.  When the Company receives payment prior to 
shipment and fulfillment of significant vendor obligations, such payments are 
recorded as deferred revenue and customer deposits and are recognized as 
revenue only upon shipment and fulfillment of any significant vendor 
obligations.

The Company sells its products directly through its own sales organization in 
North America and Europe.  In Asia, the Company uses an exclusive distributor 
in Japan and exclusive sales representatives in Korea, Taiwan and other 
markets. The Japanese distributor purchases the Company's products at a fixed 
price and, in turn, resells them to its customers.  The Asian sales 
representative firms are paid commissions directly by the Company based on 
their licensing of the Company's products.

The Company also earns revenue from maintenance agreements for customer support
and product enhancements.  Maintenance fees are paid in advance and are not
refundable.  Maintenance revenue for ongoing customer support and product
enhancements is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance agreement,
which is generally twelve months.  Beginning in the three months ended June 30,
1996, the Company began offering professional services, whereby the Company
provides customers with methodologies for integrated circuit design and
manufacturing to improve design and production efficiencies and calibration
services to customize the Company's products to each customer's unique
manufacturing processes.  The Company recognizes revenue under professional
service agreements on the percentage of completion method of accounting based
upon the achievement of contractual goals.

</TABLE>


THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996

REVENUE  Revenue for licensing the Company's software is generally recognized 
when the software has been shipped and there are no significant remaining 
obligations.  Maintenance and other revenue consists primarily of fees for 
providing system updates, user documentation and technical support for 
software products, and is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance 
agreement. Professional services revenue is based upon customer contracts, 
and is recognized under the percentage of completion method.  Funded 
development revenue consists of revenue earned on development contracts with 
government-sponsored and private entities and is recognized under the 
percentage of completion method.

Total revenue increased 24.0% to $5.3 million for the three months ended June 
30, 1997 from $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 
increased 28.8% to $10.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from 
$8.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996.


                                     8

International sales were $3.8 million and $2.7 million for the three months 
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, representing 71.9% and 64.5% of 
total revenue for the respective periods.  International sales were $7.2 
million and $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, 
respectively, representing 69.6% and 68.6% of total revenue for the 
respective periods.  The increase in both total and international revenue was 
due primarily to increased licensing and maintenance and other revenue from 
Asia and North America.  It is anticipated that international revenue will 
continue to constitute a significant portion of total revenue for the 
foreseeable future.  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 rates, foreign withholding taxes, limitations on 
repatriation of earnings and reduced protection of intellectual property 
rights.  It has been the Company's experience that some of its large Korean 
customers institute significant upgrades of their design tools relatively 
infrequently and their purchasing patterns are hard to predict.

License revenue increased 13.2% to $3.3 million for the three months ended 
June 30, 1997 from $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 
increased 16.5% to $6.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from 
$5.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  The primary reason for 
the increase in license revenue was additional licensing of the Company's 
process simulation and device simulation products in the U.S. and Japan, 
offsetting a decrease in Europe.  Europe accounts for only 4% of total 
product revenue.
 
Maintenance and other revenue increased 36.2% to $1.4 million for the three 
months ended June 30, 1997 from $1.0 million for the three months ended June 
30, 1996 and increased 44.1% to $2.8 million for the six months ended June 
30, 1997 from $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  The 
increase in maintenance and other revenue was attributable to an increase in 
the Company's installed base of products and the Company's continued effort 
toward obtaining customer renewals of maintenance.

Professional services revenue increased to $498,000 for the three months 
ended June 30, 1997 from $100,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996 
and increased to $830,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from 
$100,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  It was not until the three 
months ended June 30, 1996 that the Company commenced performing services and 
recognizing revenue from contracts obtained by the Company's professional 
services group.

In 1995, the Company deliberately reduced its participation in funded 
development programs and decided not to pursue new contracts.  Consequently, 
there was no funded development revenue for the three or six months ended 
June 30, 1997.

COST OF REVENUE  Cost of revenue consists primarily of the costs of media and 
shipping of licensed products, the costs of providing maintenance support to 
the Company's customers, royalties payable and the cost of the Company's 
professional services group.  Cost of license revenue as a percentage of 
license revenue increased to 10.7% for the three months ended June 30, 1997 
from 8.6% of license revenue for the three months ended June 30 1996.  Cost 
of license revenue as a percentage of license revenue increased to 9.6% for 
the six months ended June 30, 1997 from 8.9% of license revenue for the six 
months ended June 30, 1996.  Cost of license revenue increased primarily due 
to increased royalty expenses incurred on revenues from third party software 
products sold by the Company.  Cost of maintenance and other revenue as a 
percentage of maintenance and other revenue decreased to 11.7% for the three 
months ended June 30, 1997 from 17.1% for the three months ended June 30, 
1996.  Cost of maintenance and other revenue as a percentage of maintenance 
and other revenue decreased to 14.4% for the six months ended June 30, 1997 
from 20.8% for the six months ended June 30, 1996, as revenue increased at a 
faster rate than the costs of providing maintenance support to the Company's 
customers.  The cost of professional services increased to $250,000 for the 
three months ended June 30, 1997 from $102,000 for the three months ended 
June 30, 1996 and increased to $511,000 for the six months ended June 30, 
1997 from $159,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, as the Company 
hired additional personnel to meet the obligations under the revenue 
contracts obtained by the Company.

SALES AND MARKETING  Sales and marketing expenses include the costs 
associated with sales and marketing personnel, commissions, promotional 
events (such as trade show and technical conference attendance) and 
advertising and public relations programs.  Sales and marketing expenses 
increased to $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $1.5 
million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and increased as a 
percentage of total revenue to 36.1% from 34.3% for the three months ended 
June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  Sales and marketing expenses increased 
to $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from $2.7 million for 
the six months ended June 30, 1996 and increased as a percentage of total 
revenue to 35.2% from 34.0% for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, 
respectively.  Sales and marketing expenses increased primarily due to the 
addition of sales and marketing personnel, the costs associated with the 
sales reorganization completed in the second quarter of 1997 and the ongoing 
expenses of sales offices opened in mid-1996 in Boston, Portland and Milan, 
Italy.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT  Research and development expenses include 
engineering and operations personnel, the costs of creating new products and 
developing enhancements to existing products and providing operations 
support.  Software development costs have been expensed as incurred, because 
software development has generally been completed concurrently with the 
establishment of technological feasibility.  Research and development 
expenses increased to $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997 
from $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996, and increased as 
a percentage of total revenue to 31.6% from 31.4% for the three months ended 
June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  Research and development expenses 
increased to $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from $2.5 
million for the six months ended June 30, 1996, and increased as a percentage 
of total revenue to 32.0% from 30.9% for the six months ended June 30, 1997 
and 1996, respectively.  Research and development costs increased primarily 
due to increased headcount.  

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE  General and administrative expenses include the 
costs associated with the Company's executive office, human resources and 
finance functions.  General and administrative expenses decreased slightly to 
$417,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $430,000 for the three 
months ended June 30, 1996, and decreased as a percentage of total revenue to 
7.9% from 10.1% for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, 
respectively, due to costs associated with the move to a new corporate 
facility in 1996.  For the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, general 
and administrative expenses increased to $908,000 from $856,000, but 
decreased as a percentage of total revenue to 8.8% from 10.7% for the six 
months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  General and 
administrative expenses increased primarily due to increased headcount and 
the costs of being a public company.  The decrease as a percentage of revenue 
was due to revenues increasing at a faster rate than the increase in general 
and administrative expenses. 

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET  Other income is primarily interest income earned 
on excess cash balances.  Other expense is primarily interest paid on notes 
payable and under capitalized lease obligations.  Other income was $447,000 
and $27,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, 
and $921,000 and $61,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, 
respectively. Other expense was $26,000 and $35,000 for the three months 
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and $55,000 and $59,000 for the 
six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The increase in other 
income was due to the interest earned on proceeds received from the Company's 
initial public offering during the third quarter of 1996. 

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAX  Provision for income tax consists primarily of 
federal income taxes, state taxes and international withholding taxes.  The 
Company's effective rate of taxation was 40.3% for the six months ended June 
30, 1997 as compared with 52.4% for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  
Because the Company generates a significant portion of its total revenue from 
international sales, the Company historically has had a significant amount of 
foreign tax withheld, and has not been able to utilize all of its available 
tax credits.  Accordingly, the Company generated significant tax credit 
carryforwards.  Given the uncertainty over ultimate utilization of these 
credits, they have not been fully benefited in the 1996 tax provision, which 
resulted in an effective rate of taxation in excess of the U.S. statutory 
rate.  Because of increases in domestic


                                      10
<PAGE>

income, the Company's effective tax rate in 1997 has declined, due to the 
anticipated utilization of available tax credits.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Historically, the Company has financed its operations through private sales 
of equity securities and with cash generated from operations.  During 1996, 
approximately $31.0 million in cash, net of expenses, was raised through the 
Company's initial public offering.

For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company used $191,000 for 
operating activities.   The use of funds resulted primarily from an increase 
in accounts receivable offset by net income and an increase in accrued 
liabilities and deferred revenue.  Cash used in investing activities of $6.4 
million was primarily for net purchases of short-term investments and capital 
equipment.

As of June 30, 1997, the Company had working capital of $34.8 million and cash
and equivalents and short-term investments of $33.8 million.  As of June 30,
1997, the Company had no bank indebtedness and no long-term commitments other
than operating lease obligations.  The Company expects to spend approximately
$1.0 million on capital items in the next 12 months.  The Company believes that
the existing cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and funds
generated from operations will provide the Company with sufficient funds to
finance its operations for at least the next 12 months.  The Company may require
additional funds to support its working capital requirements or for other
purposes and may seek to raise such additional funds through public or private
financing or from other sources.  No assurance can be given that additional
financing will be available or that, if available, such financing will be
obtainable on terms favorable to the Company or its shareholders.

                        FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
                                           
    Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters 
discussed in this Form 10-Q are forward looking statements that include risks 
and uncertainties, including but not limited to those listed below and from 
time to time in the Company's other reports filed with the SEC.  The actual 
results that the Company achieves may differ materially from any forward 
looking statements due to such risks and uncertainties.

    POTENTIAL FLUCTUATIONS IN QUARTERLY RESULTS:  SEASONALITY.  The Company's 
operating results have varied in the past, and may vary significantly in the 
future, depending on factors such as size and timing of significant customer 
orders, timing and levels of operating expenses, increased competition, 
timing of new product announcements and releases by the Company and its 
competitors, market acceptance of new and enhanced versions of the Company's 
products, gain or loss of significant customers, distributors or sales 
representatives, renewal rates of maintenance contracts, pricing changes by 
the Company or its competitors, personnel changes, and economic conditions in 
general and in the semiconductor industry specifically.  Any unfavorable 
change in these or other factors could have a material adverse effect on the 
Company's operating results.

    In particular, revenue and operating results depend on the volume and 
timing of orders received during the quarter.  A significant portion of the 
Company's revenue in each period results from licenses entered into during 
that period, and the Company historically has operated with little order 
backlog. There can be no assurance that the Company will attain a significant 
backlog in the future.  The Company's expense levels are relatively fixed and 
are based, in part, on expectations regarding future revenue.  Furthermore, 
the Company often recognizes a substantial portion of its license revenue in 
the last month or even weeks of a quarter, and, therefore its net income, if 
any, may be disproportionately affected by a reduction in revenue because 
only a small portion of the Company's expenses vary with its revenue.  
Because of the relatively large dollar size of the Company's typical software 
license, any delay in the closing of a transaction may have a significant 
impact on the Company's operating results for a particular period.

    In addition, the Company's revenue and results of operations have been 
and may continue to be affected by seasonal trends, which may result in 
higher revenue in certain periods due to customers' purchasing and budgetary 
practices. There can be no assurance that seasonal trends in customer 
purchasing will not materially adversely affect the Company's results of 
operations in future periods.  Consequently, operating results in any period 
should not be considered indicative of the results to be expected for any 
future period.

    INTENSE COMPETITION.  The historical competition for TCAD products has 
come from design automation or research and development groups working within 
established IC manufacturing companies.  These companies, some of which are 
customers of the Company, have access to significantly greater financial 
resources than the Company and may be able to develop their own simulation 
tools, thus reducing their reliance upon products from independent companies 
such as the Company.  Established IC manufacturers or design companies may 
elect in the future to market their internally developed products and compete 
directly with the Company for other customers.  If these or other established 
companies enter the market, competitive pressures could intensify due to 
their significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources, as 
well as the name recognition that these companies possess.

    In addition, Silvaco International, Inc. and at least one other small 
private company offer products that compete with a number of the Company's 
products.  Other companies offer a single product that competes with one of 
the Company's products.  Because these competitors are private companies for 
which little public information is available, the Company can only estimate 
their size and market penetration.  The Company has experienced pricing 
pressures in the past, and increased competition from current competitors or 
new market entrants could result in additional price reductions, reduced 
margins or loss of market share, any of which could have a material adverse 
effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial 

                                      12
<PAGE>

condition.  In addition, it is possible that large, well established EDA 
companies may acquire the technology of one or more of the Company's private 
competitors in order to gain access to the markets in which the Company 
competes.  With significantly more financial resources than the Company and 
large existing customer bases, these potential competitors could increase the 
competition faced by the Company.  Because of the changing nature of the EDA 
and TCAD markets and actual and potential competition, there can be no 
assurance that the Company will be able to maintain its market share or that 
its competitors will not increase their market share of the TCAD market.

    RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE AND NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT.  The EDA industry 
is characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product 
introductions and enhancements of existing products, evolving industry 
standards and rapidly changing customer requirements.  The Company must meet 
the challenges of the EDA industry by introducing new products and product 
enhancements, and must continue to address customers' current and future 
needs in a timely manner.  There can be no assurance that the Company will 
not experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the development, the 
introduction of the marketing of these products.  Additionally, there can be 
no assurance that the Company's new products and product enhancements, if 
developed, will meet the requirements of the marketplace, will be of 
acceptable quality or will achieve market acceptance or that the introduction 
of new products or new industry standards will not render existing products 
obsolete and unmarketable.

    GEOGRAPHICAL CONCENTRATION IN ASIA:  DEPENDENCE UPON DISTRIBUTORS AND 
REPRESENTATIVES.  In 1996, 1995, 1994 and the first six months of 1997, 
licensing and maintenance of the Company's software products in Asia, 
primarily Japan, Korea and Taiwan, accounted for approximately 60.0%, 61.5% 
55.9% and 58.0%, respectively, of the Company's total revenue.  Sales of the 
Company's product licenses to customers in Japan are made exclusively through 
a single distributor, Innotech Corporation ("Innotech"). In Korea, licenses 
to customers are made through a single independent sales representative, C&G 
Technology, Inc. ("C&G").  Sales to customers in Taiwan were also carried out 
through a single independent sales representative, Business Technology, Inc. 
("BTI").  The Company expects that sales to customers in Japan, Korea and 
Taiwan will continue to make up a significant proportion of the Company's 
total product revenue for the foreseeable future.  Since the Company's 
products are used by highly skilled professional engineers, in order to be 
effective, a distributor or sales representative must possess sufficient 
technical, marketing and sales resources and must devote these resources to a 
lengthy sales cycle, customer training and product service and support.  Only 
a limited number of distributors and sales representatives possess such 
resources.  There can be no assurance that any or all of the agreements with 
Innotech, C&G and BTI will continue for any substantial period of time or 
that these companies will continue to distribute the Company's software 
products, and there is no assurance that the Company could replace these 
entities without significant difficulty.

    In addition, international sales inherently involve a number of risks, 
including currency fluctuations, unexpected changes in governmental 
regulatory requirements, tariffs and taxes, difficulties in staffing and 
managing foreign operations, longer payment cycles, greater difficulty in 
accounts receivable collection, limited protection of the Company's products 
and intellectual property rights under the laws of certain foreign countries 
and political instability and economic recession in foreign markets.  There 
can be no assurance that such factors will not have a material adverse effect 
on future international licensing and maintenance revenue and, consequently, 
on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition.

    PRODUCT CONCENTRATION.  The Company derived a significant majority of its 
total revenue in 1996 and the first six months of 1997 from the licensing and 
maintenance of two software products, TSUPREM-4 and Medici, and the Company 
expects to continue to derive a substantial portion of its total revenue from 
these two products for the foreseeable future.  As a result, the Company's 
future operating results are significantly dependent upon continued market 
acceptance of TSUPREM-4 and Medici.  There can be no assurance that the 
Company will successfully develop new products or that such products will 
find market acceptance or meet customer expectations.  The Company's two 
principal products may be rendered obsolete by future technical advances by 
the Company's competitors or even by certain of its customers or 

                                      13
<PAGE>

marketing partners.  The failure of the Company to maintain and enhance the 
capabilities of its current products or to introduce new products 
successfully into the market could have a material adverse effect on the 
Company's business, operating results and financial condition.

    LENGTHY SALES CYCLE.  Because of the complexity and substantial cost of 
the Company's products, licensing these products to the Company's customers 
typically involves a significant technical evaluation and commitment of cash 
and other resources, with the attendant delays frequently associated with 
customers' internal procedures to approve large expenditures and to evaluate 
and accept new technologies that affect key operations.  In addition, certain 
of the Company's foreign customers have lengthy purchasing cycles that may 
increase the amount of time the Company must dedicate to placing its products 
with these customers. For these and other reasons, the sales cycle associated 
with the licensing of the Company's products is lengthy and subject to a 
number of significant risks, including customers' budgetary constraints and 
internal acceptance evaluations that are beyond the Company's control.  
Because of the lengthy sales cycle and the large size of customers' average 
orders, if revenue projected from a specific customer for a particular period 
is not realized in that period, the Company's operating results for that 
period could be materially adversely affected.
