* Tripos numbers for 1994 represent results for two months & five months
respectively because the Tripos Spin-off occurred June 1, 1994


Sales decreased $13,170,000 in the second quarter of 1994 as compared with the
same period in 1993.  Of this amount, 23% or $2,992,000 is related to the spin-
off of Tripos which took place on June 1, 1994.  For the six months ended July
1, 1994 sales decreased $16,226,000 from the comparable period in 1993.  Tripos
accounted for 20% of this reduction.

Sales in the civil pilot training sector continue to reflect the weak condition
of the aerospace industry.  The Company announced during the quarter the
termination of its agreement with Thomson-CSF for the exclusive sale of E&S
image generators in the civil pilot training market.  At the same time, it was
also announced that the Company is now offering a full range of integrated
visual systems to the civil pilot training market.  With these developments,
as the civil pilot training market begins to recover, the Company will be well
positioned to serve this market with superior products and services.

Sales in the U. S. and International Government sectors are slower than
expected. However, second half sales in the U.S. should increase as delivery of
systems for the Close Combat Tactical Training (CCTT) program occur.  Sales for
the international sector are expected to remain at their present rate through
the balance of the year.

Growth in the education and entertainment market is slower than expected,
although sales are up from the previous year's second quarter.  The first
commercial installation of Virtual Adventures is now open at the Nauticus Museum
in Norfolk, Virginia and public reaction 

                                     -10-

is positive. Jointly developed with Iwerks, this location-based entertainment
attraction is scheduled for its second installation in Connecticut in the fourth
quarter. Orders for the Company's Digistar II system continue to be received
with three systems to be delivered during the remainder of 1994.

Design systems sales are lower for the second quarter by $2,311,000 from the
previous year's second quarter.  The recent announcement of an OEM agreement
with Hewlett-Packard to supply high performance Freedom Series graphics
accelerators with Hewlett-Packard workstations combined with earlier and similar
announcements with IBM and Sun Microsystems now places the Company in a position
to show improved performance in this sector.  With these agreements, the Company
is provided the most substantial OEM marketing channel available for high
performance graphics accelerators.  These OEM agreements along with the just
announced signing of a letter of intent to purchase Portable Graphics, Inc.
(PGI) of Austin, Texas should accelerate sales of graphics hardware and software
solutions.  PGI is a small company and a leading supplier of GL-based software
development libraries and tool kits for developing 3D graphics applications for
all major hardware platforms.

Cost of Sales
- -------------

Cost of sales, as a percentage of sales, was 49.7% for the three months of 1994
compared to the 47.7% rate experienced during the corresponding 1993 period.
The main reason for the increase is due to lower cost of sales with Tripos
software sales.  Since the Tripos spin-off was effective June 1, 1994, only  two
months are included in the second quarter 1994 figures as compared with three
months for 1993.  Cost of sales in the other sectors have remained at the same
levels for all periods when Tripos costs are discounted.

Expenses
- --------

Expenses for the second quarter of 1994 are lower than the same quarter of 1993
by $2,995,000 (16%).  All expenses are lower as a result of restructuring
efforts that took place in January of this year.  Cost reductions have improved
the Company's efficiency and have not impaired its ability to operate.

Other Income (Expense), Net
- ---------------------------

Other income increased during the quarter over the second quarter of the
previous year by $373,000.  The primary reasons for the increase is due to
foreign currency exchange gains in 1994 of $103,000 compared to losses of
$87,000 in 1993 and interest expense reductions in 1994 due to the Company's
repurchasing of interest-bearing convertible debentures.

Income Taxes
- ------------

Tax expense for 1994 is based on an effective tax rate of 38% compared to an
effective rate of 40% for 1993.  The rate for 1994 is estimated to be lower due
to improved performance from the Company's foreign subsidiaries.

Inflation
- ---------
Inflation has not had a significant impact in the Company's results of 
operations during any of the last three fiscal years.

LIQUIDITY & CAPITAL COMMITMENTS
- -------------------------------

Funds to support the Company's operations are generated primarily from net cash
provided by operating activities, sales of marketable securities, and proceeds
from employee stock purchase and option plans.  The Company also has cash
equivalents and temporary cash investments which can be used as needed for
operating funds.  No major capital expenditures are expected for the balance of
the year.

                                     -11-
<PAGE>
 
Cash and cash equivalents and temporary cash investments decreased $8,602,000 to
$69,934,000 during the first six months of 1994 principally due to cash
expenditures related to the Tripos spin-off and due to the repurchase of the
Company's subordinated debt.  The value of Company owned marketable securities
declined $4,555,000 to $9,652,000 during the same six month period.
Approximately $2,000,000 of the decline is due to the sale  of VLSI shares and
the balance is  a result of changing market values of shares held.
