                    MENTOR GRAPHICS CORPORATION
              Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                            (Unaudited)

(1)     General - The accompanying financial statements have been 
prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.  However, 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 the rules and regulations of the Securities 
and Exchange Commission.  In the opinion of management, the
statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of the results of the interim periods presented.
Certain reclassifications have been made in the accompanying 
financial statements for 1993 to conform with the 1994 
presentation.


(2)     Change in Accounting Principle, Accounting for Certain 
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities- In May 1993, the 
Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial 
Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments 
in Debt and Equity Securities."  Statement No. 115 requires 
reporting of investments as either held to maturity, trading or 
available for sale.  The Company owns common stock and common 
stock warrants of an independent public company with an original 
carrying cost of $0 and a market value of $900 as of June 30, 
1994.  Under Statement No. 115, the securities have been 
classified as held for sale, which required the difference between 
original carrying cost and market value to be recognized which is 
included on the consolidated balance sheet in prepaid and other 
assets, and as a reduction of the same amount in accumulated 
deficit.  No other investments owned by the Company are expected 
to be materially impacted by provisions of this Statement as the 
underlying carrying values approximate market.



(3)     Capitalization of Software Development Costs - During the 
first six months of 1994 and 1993, $3,073 and $2,394 of new 
product development costs were capitalized and included in other 
assets on the consolidated balance sheets, respectively.
Amortization of previously capitalized software development costs 
amounted to $3,487 and $3,448 for the six months ended June 30, 
1994 and 1993, respectively, and is included in system and 
software cost of revenues on the consolidated statements of 
operations.


(4)     Supplemental Disclosures of Cash Flow Information - The 
following provides additional information concerning cash flow 
activities:

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

(All numerical references are in thousands, except for dividend 
payment amount and percentages)


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

REVENUES AND GROSS MARGINS

System and Software

System and software revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1994, 
totaled $43,485, a decrease of  $7,942 or 15% from the second 
quarter of 1993.  For the first six months of 1994, system and 
software revenues declined $7,945 or 8% from the same period a 
year ago.  Second quarter system and software gross margins 
increased to 80% in 1994 compared to 74% in the same period of 
1993.  For the first six months of 1994, system and software gross 
margins improved to 79%, up from 73% in the same period of 1993.  

During the first half of 1994 system and software revenues were 
flat for the international regions compared to the same period 
last year while North America experienced a 15% reduction for the 
same periods.  Revenues for the past three years have been
negatively impacted by a poor international economy.  Japan 
realized improvement over the first half of last year, offset by 
reduced sales in the Pacific Rim.  From December 31, 1993 to June 
30, 1994, the U.S. dollar weakened approximately 12% against the 
Japanese yen, resulting in higher U.S. dollar revenue from 
Japanese yen based sales.  Exclusive of currency exchange rate 
changes, the Japanese economy continues to reflect weakness.  
While difficult to predict, the Company's revenues may continue to 
be negatively impacted by the economic recession in Japan for the 
next several quarters.  In addition, the North American sales
force executed a reorganization during the first quarter of 1994 
which resulted in reduced productivity in the region.  The goal of 
the reorganization was to streamline operations by reducing two
layers of management and better align the sales team with their 
respective territories.  

Historically the Company experiences improved order activity and 
revenue levels in the second and fourth quarters while the first 
and third quarters are slower.  Japan usually has posted stronger 
third quarter order activity which somewhat offset an otherwise 
seasonally slow quarter for the Company.  Due to continued 
weakness in the Japanese economy and reduced third quarter order 
levels in other regions, the results of the Company's third 
quarter system and software revenue may be consistent with 
historical seasonality.  System and software revenue levels are 
dependent on order activity, as such sustained revenue performance 
for the next quarter is not guaranteed. 

While the software component of system and software revenue was 
comparable for the first halves of 1994 and 1993, the level of 
hardware sales continues to decline.  The Company continues to 
experience some hardware sales to meet customer requests.  In the 
first half of 1994, the hardware component of system and software 
revenue declined to 9% from 17% for the same period last year.  
This mix shift resulted in improved gross margins as software 
gross margins are much higher compared to hardware gross margins.  
The Company expects the decline of hardware revenue to continue as 
the year progresses which should benefit gross margins.   



Gross margins are significantly impacted by levels of third party 
software content for which royalties are paid, and amortization of 
previously capitalized software development costs.  Amortization 
of previously capitalized software development costs to system and 
software cost of revenues was $1,477 and $3,487 for the second 
quarter and first half of 1994, respectively, compared to $1,920 
and $3,448 for the same periods a year ago.  Amortization levels 
have declined in the second quarter as several capitalized 
projects became fully amortized.  Levels of third party software 
content in future revenues are difficult to predict as they are 
based on customer demand for non-Company owned software, which has 
historically varied from quarter to quarter.

Service  and Support

Service and support revenues for the second quarter of 1994 were 
$38,045, an increase of 3% from the comparable quarter of 1993.  
For the first six months of 1994, service and support revenues 
totaled $73,657, an increase of 4% from the same period of 1993.  

The increase in service and support revenues is attributable to 
growth in the Company's installed customer base, and continued 
success of the Company's software support programs.  These 
positive factors were offset by a reduction in hardware support 
revenues as many customers contracted directly with primary 
providers of hardware service.  Renewal of annual software 
maintenance contracts was seasonally slow during the first quarter 
of 1994, as it also was in the comparable period of 1993.  
Renewals rebounded in the second quarter of 1994 consistent with 
historical service and support revenue trends.  Company accounting 
policy dictates that revenue on renewal of maintenance contracts 
is recognized only when customer purchase orders are received and 
services are delivered, which results in the first versus second 
quarter revenue trend described above.

Service and support gross margins were 55% and 49% for the 
quarters ended June 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively, and 55% and 
51% for the first six months of 1994 and 1993, respectively.  The 
increase in service and support gross margins is primarily 
attributable to the mix shift in revenues towards higher gross 
margin software support and away from lower gross margin hardware 
support.  In the first half of 1994, the hardware component of 
service and support revenue declined from 6% to 2% compared to the 
same period last year.  

Professional service revenue increased 6% in the first half of 
1994 compared to the same period of 1993. The expected trend for 
professional services is an increase in revenue levels over time 
as the business develops.  A first quarter 1994 reorganization of 
the professional service team worldwide negatively impacted the 
progress of professional service revenues.  



Operating Expenses

Gross research and development (R&D) expenses were $19,232 and 
$38,649 for the second quarter and first six months of 1994, 
respectively, compared to $21,074 and $41,475 for the same periods 
of 1993, respectively.  During the second quarter and first six 
months of 1994, the Company capitalized R&D costs of $2,200 and 
$3,073, respectively, compared to $1,031 and $2,394 for the same 
periods of 1993, respectively.  Net R&D costs were $17,032 for the 
quarter ended June 30, 1994, compared to $20,043 for the same 
period of 1993.  For the first six months of 1994 and 1993, net 
R&D costs were $35,576 and $39,081, respectively. 
 
Lower gross R&D expenses are attributable to lower headcount due 
to attrition and some planned reductions in force.  The Company 
closed an Integrated Circuit Division R&D site during the first 
quarter of 1994, consolidating activities with other pre-existing 
locations.  Expense reductions for R&D should continue as the 
Company further executes against its fourth quarter 1993 plan for 
restructuring.  See restructuring costs discussion below.

During the second quarter and the first six months of 1994, 
marketing, general and administration expenses (MG&A) were $34,241 
and $69,442, respectively, compared to $35,538 and $72,188 for the 
same periods of 1993, respectively.  The reduction of MG&A 
expenses is attributable primarily to lower headcount.  Expense 
reductions for MG&A should continue as the Company further 
executes against its fourth quarter 1993 plan for restructuring.  

RESTRUCTURING COSTS

Implementation of the Company's restructuring plan approved by 
management in December, 1993, proceeded as originally anticipated 
during the first half of 1994.  There have been no material 
changes in the primary elements of the restructure accrual of 
$24,800, which was recorded in 1993.  Costs to be incurred in 
executing the restructuring plan consist primarily of direct costs 
associated with severance and relocation of employees, facilities 
closures, and write-offs of excess equipment and intangible 
software technology assets related to discontinued product 
development activities.

Management continues to estimate that implementation of the 
restructuring plan should reduce expenses by approximately $10,000 
in 1994.  These savings may be partially offset by increased 
expenditures in other areas.  When all elements of the 
restructuring plan have been fully implemented, the Company 
expects future expenses may be reduced even further.

Approximately $21,000 of the 1993 restructuring charge should 
result in cash outflows during 1994.  For the first half, 
restructure-related cash outflows were approximately $5,000.  For 
the third quarter of 1994, disbursements are anticipated to be 
near $5,000, with the balance of $11,000 scheduled for the fourth 
quarter of the 1994.  Approximately $4,000, primarily related to 
facilities closures and employee relocation, is expected to be 
disbursed after 1994.



Other Income (Expense)

During the second quarter and the first six months of 1994, other 
income was $331 and $889, compared to other expense of $271 and 
$524 for the same periods of 1993, respectively.  Interest income 
from investments was $990 and $2,082 for the second quarter and 
first half of 1994, respectively, compared to $971 and $2,178 for 
the same periods of 1993.  During the second quarter and first 
half of 1994, interest expense amounted to $869 and $1,504, 
respectively, down from $976 and $2,600 for the comparable periods 
in 1993.  The reduction in interest expense is attributable to 
lower average debt outstanding during the comparable periods.  

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes amounted to $960 for the quarter 
ended June 30, 1994, as compared to $72 for the same period in 
1993.  For the first six months of 1994, the provision for income 
taxes was $1,900 compared to $800 for the same period a year ago.  
The Company's income tax position for each year combines the 
effects of available tax benefits in certain countries where the 
Company does business, benefits from available net operating loss 
carrybacks, and tax expense for subsidiaries with pre-tax income.  
As such, the Company's income tax position and resultant effective 
tax rate is uncertain for the remainder of 1994.

Effects of Foreign Currency Fluctuations

The Company experienced a foreign currency transaction gain of $38 
and loss of $53 during the second quarter and first half of 1994, 
respectively, compared to a net gain of $264 and $405 during the 
same periods a year ago. These amounts are comprised of realized 
gains and losses on cash transactions involving various foreign 
currencies, and unrealized gains and losses related to foreign 
currency receivables and payables resulting from exchange rate 
fluctuations between the various currencies in which the Company 
operates.  Foreign currency gains and losses are included as a 
component of other income.  The "foreign currency translation 
adjustment", as reported in the equity section of the consolidated 
balance sheet at June 30, 1994, increased to $12,249 from $7,539 
at the end of 1993.  This reflects the increase in the value of 
net assets denominated in foreign currencies against the U.S. 
dollar since year-end 1993.

From December 31, 1993 to June 30, 1994, the U.S. dollar weakened 
approximately 12% against the Japanese yen.  In addition, the U.S. 
dollar weakened approximately 6% against the European currencies 
during the first half of 1994.  Generally, a weakening of the U.S. 
dollar makes the Company's products less expensive in foreign 
markets, which has a positive impact on the Company's revenues 
over time.  In addition, a weakening U.S. dollar results in higher 
reported revenues and operating expenses due to translation of 
local currency activity to U.S. dollars for consolidated financial 
reporting.  

The Company generally realizes approximately half of its revenue 
outside the United States and expects this to continue in the 
future.  As such, the Company's business and operating results may 
be impacted by the effects of future foreign currency 
fluctuations.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


Cash and Investments

Total cash and investments at June 30, 1994 were $147,243 compared 
to $139,568 at the end of 1993.  Cash provided by operations was 
$7,693 for the first six months of 1994 compared to  $10,598 
during the same period of 1993.  Cash provided by operations was 
negatively impacted by late quarter shipments and a large software 
and services contract, resulting in an increase in trade 
receivable balances of $8,307.  In addition, there was an increase 
in long-term receivables of $2,379 for the long-term portion of 
the same large software and services contract, classified in other 
assets.   Also, accrued liabilities decreased $5,002 in the first 
half of 1994 due primarily to restructure-related cash outflows.  
Cash and short-term investments for the six months ended June 30, 
1994 were positively impacted by proceeds from the issuance of 
common stock of $6,062 as a result of increased employee option 
exercises due to an improved average stock price during the first 
quarter, offset by investment in property, plant and equipment of 
$6,456.


Inventory

Inventory levels at June 30, 1994 totaled $677, down $1,622 since 
December 31, 1993.   The reduction in inventory reflects the 
Company's shift towards a software-only business model resulting 
in the reclassification of demonstration equipment to property, 
plant and equipment.  In 1994 it is anticipated that the hardware 
business will be immaterial to the Company's operations and as a 
result demonstration equipment will not be promoted for sale as it 
was in prior years.  The remaining balance in inventory primarily 
consists of documentation and CD ROM media for software updates.  
Inventory is expected to be at approximately current levels for 
the balance of 1994. For any remaining hardware requests from 
customers, the Company will use a drop ship approach, shipping 
directly from the hardware vendor to the customer.  


Other Assets

Other assets increased to $23,909 at June 30, 1994 from $20,584 at 
year-end 1993.  Net capitalized software development costs 
decreased by $414 as capitalization and amortization were $3,073 
and $3,487, respectively, during the first half of 1994.  Long-
term receivables increased by $2,379 as a result of a long-term 
customer contract calling for software products and professional 
services.


Capital Resources

Total capital expenditures decreased to $6,456 through June 30, 
1994, compared to $16,162 for the same period of 1993.  The 
decrease in capital expenditures is a result of completing a 
planned transition of the Company's R&D equipment to a more 
complete UNIX-based operating system environment in 1993.  Future 
capital expenditure plans include maintaining a state of the art 
development environment, maintaining updated sales demonstration 
equipment, and implementing a new global information system which 
should begin in the fourth quarter of this year.
