                         RISK FACTORS


          History of Losses; Repeated Restructuring Charges. 
In the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992, and 1991, the
Company incurred net losses of $32,073,000, $50,861,000, and
$61,613,000, respectively, including restructuring charges of
$24,800,000, $12,900,000, and $27,100,000, respectively.  The
1993 restructuring charge related to a restructuring plan
approved in December 1993 aimed at reducing operating expenses
by streamlining and reorganizing Company operations.  The 1992
and 1991 restructuring charges related to restructuring plans
aimed at improving the Company's focus on its core businesses
of integrated circuit design and electronic systems design. 
Revenues for the past three years have been negatively impacted
by a poor international economy.  While difficult to predict,
the Company's revenues will likely continue to be negatively
impacted by the economic recessions in Japan and in Europe. 
There can be no assurance as to the Company's ability to avoid
future restructuring charges or to achieve sustained
profitability.

          Shift Away From Hardware Sales.  The Company
historically has sold complete EDA systems including software
provided by the Company and hardware purchased from third party
suppliers, principally Hewlett-Packard Company and Sun
Microsystems, Inc.  During the last two years, the Company has
been executing a plan to exit from the hardware business and to
sell software only.  This transition has been slow as the
Company attempts to meet the demands of some customers who
prefer to purchase their EDA solutions from one vendor.  The
majority of the Company's customers now meet their hardware
needs by working directly with hardware vendors.  Hardware
revenue is expected to become immaterial to the Company's
financial statements in 1994.

          Technological Change.  The market for the Company's
products is characterized by rapidly changing technology,
evolution of new industry standards and frequent introductions
of new products and product enhancements.  The Company's
success will depend upon its continued ability to enhance its
existing products, to introduce new products on a timely and
cost-effective basis to meet evolving customer requirements, to
achieve market acceptance for new product offerings and to
respond to emerging industry standards and other technological
changes.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be
successful in developing new products or enhancing its existing
products or that such new or enhanced products will receive
market acceptance.

          Competition.  The EDA industry is highly competitive
and has been characterized by rapid technological advances in
application software, operating systems and hardware.  Some of




the Company's competitors and potential competitors may have
greater financial and marketing resources than the Company. 
There can be no assurance that the Company will have the
financial resources, marketing, distribution and service
capability, depth of key personnel or technological knowledge
to compete successfully in the EDA market.

          Key Personnel.  The Company's success depends in part
upon its executive officers, none of whom are subject to long-
term employment contracts.  The success of the Company also
depends on its ability to attract and retain qualifiedtechnical, 
managerial and marketing personnel.  Competition forsuch personnel 
is intense in the software industry and therecan be no assurance 
that the Company will be successful inattracting and retaining 
such personnel.

          Possible Volatility of Stock Price.  The market price
of the Company's Common Stock may be subject to wide
fluctuations in response to quarter-to-quarter variations in
operating results, changes in earnings estimates by analysts,
announcements of technological innovations or new products by
the Company or its competitors, general conditions in the
software and computer industries and other events or factors. 
In addition, the stocks of many technology companies have
experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations which have
often been unrelated to the companies' operating performance. 
Such market fluctuations, as well as general economic,
political and market conditions, may adversely affect the
market price of the Company's Common Stock.


                     SELLING SHAREHOLDERS 
 
          The Selling Shareholders are all former shareholders 
of CheckLogic Systems, Inc. ("CheckLogic"), who acquired the 
Shares offered hereby in connection with the merger of Mentor 
Graphics Acquisition, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the 
Company, with and into CheckLogic.  All of the Selling 
Shareholders, other than Mr. Chiang, are now employees of the 
Company.  No Selling Shareholder is an officer of the 
Company.  The following table sets forth certain information 
provided to the Company by the Selling Shareholders.

     exercisable prior to March 1, 1994. 




                      PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION 
 
          The Shares may be sold from time to time by the 
Selling Shareholders, or by pledgees, donees, transferees or 
other successors in interest.  Such sales may be made in the 
over-the-counter market or otherwise at prices and at terms 
then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market 
price, or in negotiated transactions.  In addition, Wu-Tung 
Cheng may sell up to 2,787 Shares to Susheel Chandra for $.072 
per share pursuant to an option granted by Mr. Cheng to Mr. 
Chandra.  The Shares may be sold by one or more of the 
following methods:  (a) block trades in which the broker or 
dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the Shares as agent but 
may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to 
facilitate the transaction; (b) purchases by a broker or dealer 
as principal, in a market maker capacity or otherwise, and 
resale by such broker or dealer for its account pursuant to 
this Prospectus; and (c) ordinary brokerage transactions and 
transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers.  In 
effecting sales, brokers or dealers engaged by the Selling 
Shareholders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to 
participate.  Brokers or dealers will receive commissions or 
discounts from the Selling Shareholders in amounts to be 
negotiated immediately prior to the sale.  The Selling 
Shareholders, such brokers or dealers, and any other 

participating brokers or dealers may be deemed to be 
"underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 
(the "Act") in connection with such sales.  In addition, any 
securities covered by this Prospectus which qualify for sale 
pursuant to Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144 rather than 
pursuant to this Prospectus. 
 
          Upon the Company being notified by a Selling 
Shareholder that any material arrangement has been entered into 
with a broker or dealer for the sale of Shares through a block 
trade or any other purchase by a broker or dealer as principal, 
other than a purchase as a market maker in an ordinary trading 
transaction, a supplemented prospectus will be filed, if 
required, pursuant to Rule 424 under the Act, disclosing (i) 
the name of such Selling Shareholder and of the participating 
brokers or dealers, (ii) the number of Shares involved, (iii) 
the price at which such Shares will be sold, (iv) the 
commission paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such 
brokers or dealers, where applicable, (v) that such brokers or 
dealers did not conduct any investigation to verify the 
information set out or incorporated by reference in this 
Prospectus, and (vi) other facts material to the transaction. 
 



   

                              RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

The following table shows certain information relating to the 
Company's results of operations for the quarters ended March 
31, 1994 and 1993, respectively:

Quarter ended March 31,                  1994          1993  

Total Revenues                      $ 84,451,000     $ 82,639,000

Operating income (loss)             $  4,174,000     $ (3,317,000)
 
Net income (loss)                   $  3,792,000     $ (4,298,000)

Net income (loss) per common 
and common equivalent share             $    .08     $       (.09)

Weighted average number of  common and 
 common equivalent shares outstanding 49,542,000       45,803,000


The improvement in revenues was primarily the result of 
increased service and support revenue volume.  The Company 
began shipping Version 8.2 of its software late in the first 
quarter of 1993.  Increased service and support revenue is a 
result of this improved release and continued customer 
acceptance of the Company's software support programs.  
Improvement in the results of operations is attributable to 
higher gross margins and lower operating expenses.  The Company 
has been implementing a plan to exit the hardware business over 
the last 2 years resulting in a mix shift to more higher margin 
software only sales. Operating expenses declined as the Company 
continued to execute against its fourth quarter 1993 
restructuring plan aimed at reducing operating expenses and 
reorganizing Company operations.

Item 15.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers. 
 
          Article V of the Company's Bylaws indemnifies 
directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the 
Oregon Business Corporation Act (Act).  The effects of Article 
V are summarized as follows: 
 
     (a)  The Article grants a right of indemnification in 
respect of any action, suit, or proceeding (other than an 
action by or in the right of the Company) against expenses 
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid 
in settlement actually and reasonably incurred, if the person 
concerned acted in good faith and in a manner the person 
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best 
interests of the Company, was not adjudged liable on the basis 
of receipt of an improper personal benefit and, with respect to 
any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to 
believe the conduct was unlawful.  The termination of an 
action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, 
conviction, or plea of nolo contendere does not, of itself, 
create a presumption that the person did not meet the required 
standards of conduct. 
 
     (b)  The Article grants a right of indemnification in 
respect of any action or suit by or in the right of the Company 
against the expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and 
reasonably incurred if the person concerned acted in good faith 
and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not 

                                II-1

opposed to the best interests of the Company, except that no 
right of indemnification will be granted if the person is 
adjudged to be liable to the Company. 
 
     (c)  Every person who has been wholly successful on the 
merits of a controversy described in (a) or (b) above is 
entitled to indemnification as a matter of right. 
 
     (d)  The Company is required to promptly indemnify a 
director or officer unless it is determined by a majority of 
disinterested directors or by independent counsel that the 
person's actions did not meet the relevant standard for 
indemnification.  If the disinterested directors or independent 
counsel determine that the indemnification is not required, the 
person seeking indemnification may petition a court for an 
independent determination.  In any court action, the Company 
will have the burden of proving that indemnification would not 
be proper.  Neither the disinterested directors' failure to 
make a determination regarding indemnification for the claim 
nor an actual determination that the person failed to meet the 
applicable standard will be a defense to such action or create 
a presumption that the person is not entitled to 
indemnification. 
 
     (e)  The Company will advance to a director or officer the 
expenses incurred in defending any action, suit or proceeding 
in advance of its final disposition if the director or officer 
affirms in good faith the he or she is entitled to indemnification 
and undertakes to repay any amount advanced if it is determined by 
a court that the person is not entitled to indemnification. 
 
     (f)  The Company may obtain insurance for the protection 
of its directors and officers against any liability asserted 
against them in their official capacities. 
 
 
          The rights of indemnification described above are not 
exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which the 
persons indemnified may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, 
vote of shareholders or directors, or otherwise. 
 
          The Company has also entered into Indemnity 
Agreements with all directors and officers.  While the 
Indemnity Agreements in large part incorporate the indemnification 
provisions of the Act as described above, they vary from the Act 
in several respects.  The Indemnity Agreements obligate the 
Company to provide the maximum indemnification protection allowed 
under Oregon law, which is intended to provide indemnification 
broader than that expressly authorized by the Act.  The most 
significant effect of the 


                                 II-2

Indemnity Agreements is to add indemnification for judgments 
and settlements of derivative lawsuits to the fullest extent 
permitted by law as may be limited by public policy considerations 
applied by the courts.

Item 17.  Undertakings. 
 
     (a)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: 
 
          (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or 
sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this 
registration statement: 
 
               (i)  To include any prospectus required by 
section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; 
 
              (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or 
events arising after the effective date of the registration 
statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) 
which, individually or in the aggregate, represents a fundamental 
change in the information set forth in the registration statement; 
 
             (iii)  To include any material information with 
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in 
the registration statement or any material change to such 
information in the registration statement; 
 
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do 
not apply if the information required to be included in a post- 


                                II-3


effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in 
periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to section 13 
or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that 
are incorporated by reference in the registration statement. 
 
          (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any 
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each new 
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new 
registration statement relating to the securities offered 
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall 
be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. 
 
          (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post- 
effective amendment any of the securities being registered 
which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. 
 
     (b)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, 
for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities 
Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report 
pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities 
Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the 
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration 
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the 
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be 
the initial bona fide offering thereof. 
 
     (c)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising 
under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, 
officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to 
the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been 
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange 
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as 
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the 
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities 
(other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred 
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the 
registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or 
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or 
controlling person in connection with the securities being 
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its 
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, 
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question 
whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as 
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final 
adjudication of such issue.

                         SIGNATURES 
 
     Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 
1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds 
to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing 
on Form S-3 and has duly caused this amendment to the registration 
statement to be on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly 
authorized, in the City of Wilsonville, State of Oregon, on 
May 10, 1994.
