System and Software

   System and software revenues declined 10% from 1992 to 1993 and 
19% from 1991 to 1992.  The primary factors contributing to the 
decline in system and software revenues include a significant 
reduction in hardware revenues and a generally poor world-wide 
economy, partially offset by the transition of customers to the 
Company^s Version 8 software.  During the last two years, the 
Company has been executing a plan to exit from the hardware 
business.  This transition has been slow while the Company 
attempted to meet the demands of some customers who prefer to 
purchase their electronic design automation (EDA) solutions from 
one vendor.  The majority of the Company^s customers 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.  
   The software component of system and software revenues 
increased 14% from 1992.  During the first quarter of 1993 the 
Company shipped Version 8.2 of its software.  This release 
included enhanced performance and reliability and was a key factor 
in the Company^s ability to increase the conversion of existing 
customers.  Customers who have transitioned or are in the process 
of transitioning from Version 7 to Version 8 increased from 30% in 
1992 to approximately 80% at the end of 1993.  With a reliable 
production quality release in place the Company will concentrate 
more effort toward identifying and developing enhancement options 
for the Version 8 software.   
   Revenues for the past three years continued to be negatively 
impacted by a poor international economy.  In 1993, the Company 
experienced improved order activity in North America while 
Japan and Europe results continued to reflect weakness.  The 
situation in Japan was particularly unfavorable as customers 
remain extremely cautious in their capital spending.  While 
difficult to predict, the Company^s revenue will likely continue 
to be negatively impacted by the economic recessions in Japan and 
Europe.
   System and software gross margin percentage improvements in 
1993 and 1992 are a result of increased software versus hardware 
sales each year.  This mix shift is expected to continue to 
favorably impact gross margin percentage at a much less 
accelerated rate as hardware product revenues will likely become 
immaterial in 1994.  Gross margins were negatively impacted by 
amortization of previously capitalized software development costs 
to system and software cost of revenues totalling $7,449, $5,875, 
and $3,961 for 1993, 1992, and 1991, respectively.   The 
increase is the result of higher levels of capitalization during 
development of Version 8 software products.  In 1994, 
amortization is expected to decrease as some Version 8 software 
products become fully amortized.

Service and Support

   The increase in service and support revenue in 1993 and 1992 is 
attributable to continued growth in professional services and 
continued customer acceptance of the Company^s software support 
programs.  The Company has focused resources in the past two years 
on development of a professional service business which provides 
consulting and training to meet customer needs for 
comprehensive EDA solutions.  The response to these services has 
been favorable as many customers seek external help to improve 
their EDA processes. In 1993, the Company received 
several large orders for combined software and services.  
Increased professional service revenue is expected in 1994 based 
on anticipated growth in customer demand. 
   The Company also recognized a one-time benefit from an 
individual service contract in the third quarter of 1993 
increasing service and support revenue by $2,100.  These positive 
factors were offset by reduced hardware service revenues as the 
Company continued to deemphasize hardware-related activities.
   Service and support gross margins have improved in 1993 and 
1992 as a result of exiting the hardware service business and 
focusing on higher margin software support.  The Company also 
experienced lower software update costs by implementing CD ROM 
technology for paperless documentation, and reducing the number of 
major update releases in the last two years. 
   Consistent with consulting and training business models, gross 
margins generated by the Company^s professional services 
activities have been, and are expected to continue to be, lower 
than software support.  Lower overall service and support gross 
margins are anticipated as growth in the professional service 
business is expected to be higher than growth in software support.

Research and Development

   Gross research and development (R&D) costs were $81,207 for 
1993, a 1% increase from 1992 and a 9% reduction from 1991.  R&D 
expenditures were approximately flat in 1993 while the Company 
focused on performance improvements of its Version 8 software 
release.  Offsetting these expenses was a reduction in headcount 
for the year due to voluntary attrition.  
   1992 gross R&D costs were reduced from 1991 as a result of 
lower headcount due to Company restructuring.  In addition, 1991 
R&D costs included a charge of $2,106 related to the write-off of
previously purchased technology.  
   During 1993, the Company capitalized R&D costs of $3,609, 
compared to $6,120 and $9,917 for 1992 and 1991, respectively.  
The decline in R&D capitalization during 1993 relates to 
substantial completion of development activities associated with 
Version 8, a focus on performance improvements, and an effort 
toward transition of customers to the new software. Capitalization 
is expected to increase in 1994 as more resources are directed 
toward development of new products and enhancement of existing 
products.  
   Gross R&D costs are expected to decline from 1993 levels due to 
the Company restructuring plan approved in December 1993.  See 
Restructuring Costs discussion below.  These cost savings are 
expected to be realized in phases throughout 1994 as product group 
management will execute separate plans to meet their 1994 
financial goals.  Also, improvement of product development 
processes are expected to increase productivity in the coming 
year.   Negatively impacting R&D expenses will be the lifting of 
the October 1992 Company-wide salary freeze, which occurred in the 
third quarter of 1993.  Maintaining a competitive salary structure 
is a stated goal of management.  

Marketing, General, and Administration

   Marketing, general and administration (MG&A) expenses were 
$146,577 for 1993, a 3% and 5% reduction from 1992 and 1991, 
respectively.  The decline in 1993 represents continued headcount 
reductions due to  voluntary attrition, partially offset by 
increased recruiting costs associated with the successful hiring 
of several key management positions.   
   In 1994, MG&A expenses are expected to decline as actions 
associated with the December 1993 restructuring take place.  
Negatively impacting MG&A expenses will be the lifting of the 
October 1992 Company-wide salary freeze.  Also, the Company will 
experience additional costs for implementation of a new global 
information system in the coming year.  This system is expected to 
significantly improve management^s ability to capture and analyze 
financial and non-financial data.      

Restructuring Costs

   In December 1993, management of the Company approved a 
restructuring plan aimed at reducing operating expenses by 
streamlining and reorganizing Company operations.  Restructure 
costs of $24,800 to be incurred in executing this plan were 
recognized in 1993.  These costs consist primarily of costs 
directly related to the severance and relocation of employees, 
facilities closures, and write-offs of excess equipment and 
intangible software technology assets related to discontinued 
product development activities.  The plan will be implemented in 
phases throughout 1994.  The plan will be carried out within 
divisional and regional units based on their individual 
business plans.
   In 1994, implementation of the restructuring plan is expected 
to reduce expenses by approximately $10,000 which 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 costs and expenses to be reduced even 
further.  Also, approximately $22,000 of the 1993 restructure 
charge is expected to result in cash expenditures in 1994.  
Spending associated with certain facilities closures may extend 
beyond 1994.
   In August 1992 and 1991, the Company executed 
restructuring plans aimed at improving its focus on the core 
businesses of integrated circuit design and electronic 
systems design.  Costs associated with the restructurings of 
$12,900 and $27,100 were recognized in 1992 and 1991, 
respectively.  Restructuring costs included direct costs related 
to the severance and relocation of employees, consolidation of 
facilities, and write-offs of intangible software technology 
assets related to discontinued product lines.  The 1991 charge was 
offset by a net gain on the sale of certain assets and the 
subcontracting of the Company^s North America hardware service 
business to Hewlett-Packard Company.  See note 2 of Notes to 
Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other Income (Expense)

   Interest income has declined significantly in the last three 
years due to reduced average cash balances and much lower interest 
rates on investments.  Interest expense declined significantly in 
1993 as a result of a reduction in the notional amount of the 
Company^s interest rate swap agreement from $50,000 to $17,500, 
and lower average debt outstanding through management of 
the Company^s long-term committed revolving credit facility.  The 
reduction in notional amount results in subjecting $32,500 of 
borrowings to more favorable floating rates.  The interest rate 
swap agreement converts floating rates on the remaining borrowings 
of $17,500 to a fixed rate of 9.55%.  1992 interest expense was 
relatively flat with 1991 levels, primarily a result of the 
interest rate swap agreement which essentially fixed interest 
rates on $50,000 of borrowings in each year.  
   Other expense for 1992 includes a charge of $6,150 related to 
termination of a contractual relationship with a third-party 
software supplier. The Company paid $4,250 in the fourth quarter 
of 1992 and took a write-off of $1,900 in balance sheet amounts 
related to the contract.  In exchange, the supplier relinquished 
all future claims against the Company, including cancellation of 
the obligation to pay royalties on sales of certain products 
through September 30, 1994.   Other expense also includes write-
downs for certain non-operating assets to net realizable value, 
totaling $1,148 and $7,838 for 1992 and 1991, respectively. In 
addition, the Company recorded a one-time benefit of $1,000 in 
other income related to the proceeds received from a key-man life 
insurance policy during 1991.  The Company is not the beneficiary 
of any other life insurance policy on any employee.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes

   The provision for income taxes was $2,424 and $2,590 in 1993 
and 1992, respectively.  The Company recorded a benefit for income 
taxes of $1,390  in 1991.  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 in 
1994.  
   Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, ^Accounting for Income 
Taxes.^  The cumulative effect of the change in the method of 
accounting for income taxes was not material to the Company^s 
financial statements, and is therefore not disclosed separately in 
the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended 
December 31, 1993.

Effects of Foreign Currency Fluctuations

   The Company experienced net gains from foreign currency 
transactions of $247, $297 and $827 in 1993, 1992 and 1991, 
respectively.  These amounts are composed 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 and expense.  
   The ^foreign currency translation adjustment,^ as reported in 
the stockholders^ equity section of the Consolidated Balance 
Sheets, increased to $7,539 at December 31, 1993, from $5,467 at 
the end of 1992.  This reflects the increase in the value of net 
assets denominated in foreign currencies since year-end 1992, as a 
result of a weaker U.S. dollar at the close of 1993.  
   During 1993 and 1992, the U.S. dollar was volatile against the 
European currencies in which the Company does business, primarily 
the Deutsche mark, British pound, and French franc.  The U.S. 
dollar strengthened relative to the European currencies during the 
first three months and last six months of the year.  The dollar 
weakened when compared to the yen during the first nine months of 
1993 and rebounded slightly in the fourth quarter. Foreign 
currency fluctuations in Europe and Japan resulted in a slightly 
weaker U.S. dollar overall during 1993.  A weaker U.S. dollar 
results in the Company^s products being more affordable in foreign 
markets, which generally results in favorable economics for the 
Company.  The weakening of the dollar relative to the foreign 
currencies also has a positive impact on revenues as local 
currency revenues translate into more U.S. dollars.  However, this 
translation also results in higher reported expenses in U.S. 
dollar terms.  
   In 1994, the Company implemented a hedging strategy focused on 
further reducing its exposure to foreign currency exchange rate 
fluctuations.  This strategy effectively hedges a percentage of 
anticipated future foreign currency revenues against exchange rate 
fluctuations.  The Company generates approximately half of its 
revenues outside of the United States and expects this to 
continue in the future.  As such, the Company^s business and 
operating results will continue to be impacted by the effects of 
future foreign currency fluctuations.

Cash and Investments

   Total cash and investments remained relatively flat with an 
increase of $785 during 1993.  Cash provided by operating 
activities was $25,289, an increase of $11,679 from 1992.  
Negatively impacting cash provided by operating activities was the 
net loss incurred for the year and reductions in accounts payable. 
These uses of cash were offset by a reduction in trade accounts 
receivable, continued transition out of the hardware business 
resulting in lower inventory levels, and increased accrued 
liabilities associated with the year-endrestructuring.  
   Cash and short-term investments were positively impacted by the 
proceeds from issuance of common stock upon exercise of stock 
options and employee stock plan purchases in the amount of 
$10,672.   This increase was offset by dividends paid to 
stockholders during 1993 of $8,291.  See Dividends discussion 
below.  In addition, the Company spent $22,790 for property, plant 
and equipment which was primarily UNIX-based design environment 
equipment.  See Capital Resources discussion below.

Inventory

   Inventory was down $7,384 from December 31, 1992 as a result of 
the Company^s move away from selling hardware to emphasize 
software sales.  As this transition has been implemented, the 
Company has instituted drop shipment programs to minimize the risk 
of holding inventory for resale. Operating inventory levels are 
near zero as the transition to a software-only business model is 
in the final stages.  Demonstration equipment included in 
inventory amounted to $1,835 and $4,626 at December 31, 1993 and 
1992, respectively.  

Other Assets

   Other assets were down $10,414 from December 31, 1992.  Net 
capitalized software development costs were lower by $4,364 as 
amortization and restructuring-related write-offs exceeded 
capitalization for the year.  In September 1993, the Company 
received a partial refund of a rent deposit totalling $4,800 as a 
result of renegotiating a long-term office lease in Japan.

Capital Resources

   Total capital expenditures decreased to $23,145 for 1993, 
compared to $23,439 and $38,255 for 1992 and 1991, respectively.  
Expenditures for property and equipment were $22,790 and $18,784 
in 1993 and 1992, respectively.  During 1992, the Company 
continued its commitment to invest in a high quality software 
development environment, purchasing the latest workstations for 
engineers.  In 1993, the Company made additional investments in 
new computer equipment for development engineers as the Company^s 
research and development efforts were fully transitioned to a 
UNIX-based design environment.  Future capital expenditure plans 
include maintaining a state-of-the-art design environment for 
research and development, maintaining updated sales demonstration 
equipment, and implementing a new global information system.  
Also, approximately $22,000 of the 1993 restructure charge of 
$24,800 is expected to result in cash expenditures during 1994.  
Spending associated with certain facilities closures may extend 
beyond 1994.    

Long-term Debt

   Long-term debt decreased $1,388 from December 31, 1992.  As of 
December 31, 1993 the Company had no commercial paper outstanding 
compared to borrowings of $3,096 as of December 31, 1992.  The 
Company does not anticipate issuing commercial paper in the 
foreseeable future.  
   The Company had borrowings outstanding of $55,000 and $50,000 
under its $55,000 committed revolving credit facility as of 
December 31, 1993 and 1992 respectively.  Due to required 
commitment reductions of $840 annually beginning in July 1994, the 
Company classified $840 of the credit facility borrowings as 
current which are included in short-term borrowings on the 
Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 1993. 
   During the third quarter of 1992, the Company^s Japanese 
subsidiary entered into an agreement to borrow 300 million Yen 
($2,681 and $2,405 at December 31, 1993 and 1992 exchange rates, 
respectively).  These borrowings mature on July 20, 1994 and have 
a maximum interest rate of 5.95%.  As such, the debt is classified 
as current and is included in short-term borrowings on the 
Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 1993.  

Dividends 

   In October 1993, the Board of Directors voted to discontinue 
paying a quarterly dividend to shareholders.  The Company intends 
to reinvest future earnings in opportunities for growth.  
Dividends were paid during the first three quarters of 1993 
totalling $8,291.

1. Summary of Significant 
Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

   The consolidated financial statements include the financial 
statements of Mentor Graphics Corporation and its wholly owned and 
majority-owned subsidiaries (the Company).  All significant 
intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in 
consolidation.

Foreign Currency Translation

   Local currencies are the functional currencies in the Company^s 
foreign subsidiaries except for the Netherlands and Singapore 
where the U.S. dollar is used as the functional currency.  Assets 
and liabilities of foreign operations are translated to U.S. 
dollars at current rates of exchange, and revenues and expenses 
are translated using weighted average rates.  Gains and losses 
from foreign currency translation are included as a separate 
component of stockholders^ equity.  Foreign currency transaction 
gains and losses are included as a component of other income and 
expense (note 12).

Financial Instruments

   The Company enters into forward foreign exchange contracts as a 
hedge against foreign currency sales commitments.  Remeasurement 
gains and losses on these contracts are deferred and recognized 
when the sales occur.  All subsequent remeasurement gains and 
losses are recognized as they occur to offset remeasurement gains 
and losses recognized on the related foreign currency accounts 
receivable balances (note 14).
   The Company has entered into an interest rate swap agreement to 
manage exposure to interest rate fluctuations.  The differential 
to be paid or received is accrued and recognized over the life of 
the agreement as an adjustment to interest expense (note 8).
   The Company places its cash equivalents and short-term 
investments with major banks and financial institutions.  The 
investment policy limits the Company^s creditexposure to any one 
financial institution.  Concentrations of credit risk with respect 
to trade receivables are limited due to the large number of 
customers comprising the Company^s customer base, and their 
dispersion across different businesses and geographic areas.  The 
carrying amounts of cash equivalents, short-term investments, 
trade receivables, accounts payable, and short-term borrowings 
approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these 
instruments. 
   The Company has evaluated Statement of Financial Accounting 
Standards No. 115, ^Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and 
Equity Securities,^ issued in May 1993.  As required, the Company 
will adopt Statement No. 115 effective January 1, 1994, 
prospectively.  The Statement 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 a carrying cost of $0 and a market 
value of $1,375 as of December 31, 1993.  Pursuant to rule 144 
under the Securities Act of 1933 the Company must follow a 
restricted schedule for selling these equity securities.  It is 
anticipated that the shares will be sold when restriction 
milestones have been met.  Accordingly, under Statement No. 115, 
the securities will be classified as held for sale which, upon 
adoption in the first quarter of 1994, will require the difference 
between carrying cost and market value to be recognized and 
included as a separate component of stockholders^ equity.  No 
other investments owned by the Company are expected to be 
materially impacted by the provisions of this Statement as the 
underlying carrying values approximate market.   

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Short-Term Investments

   The Company classifies highly liquid investments purchased with 
an original maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents.  
Short-term investments consist of certificates of deposit, 
commercial paper and other highly liquid investments with original 
maturities in excess of three months.  It is the Company^s intent 
to hold these investments for less than one year.

Inventory 

   Inventory, consisting principally of computer hardware and 
demonstration equipment, is stated at the lower of average cost or 
market.  Demonstration equipment comprised $1,835 and $4,626 of 
the total inventory balance at December 31, 1993 and 1992, 
respectively.

Property, Plant and Equipment

   Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost and consists of 
land and land improvements, buildings and building equipment, 
computer equipment and furniture, leasehold improvements, 
and service spare parts (note 5).  Expenditures for additions to 
property, plant and equipment are capitalized.  The cost of 
repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred.  Depreciation of 
buildings and building equipment, and land improvements, is 
computed on a straight-line basis over lives of forty and 
twenty years, respectively.  Depreciation of computer equipment 
and furniture is computed principally on a straight-line basis 
over the estimated useful lives of the assets,  generally three to 
five years.  Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-
line basis over the lesser of the term of the lease or estimated 
useful lives of the improvements.  Service spare parts are 
amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful 
lives, generally four years.

Income Taxes

   In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board 
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, 
^Accounting for Income Taxes^.  Statement No. 109 requires a 
change from the deferred method under APB Opinion 11 to the asset 
and liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Under the 
asset and liability method, deferred income taxes are 
recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to 
temporary differences between the financial statement carrying 
amounts and tax balances of existing assets and liabilities.  
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax 
rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which 
those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
settled.  Under Statement No. 109, the effect on deferred taxes of 
a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that 
includes the enactment date.
   Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement No. 
109.  The cumulative effect of that change in the method of 
accounting for income taxes was not material to the Company^s 
financial statements, and is therefore not disclosed separately in 
the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ending 
December 31, 1993.
   Pursuant to the deferred method under APB Opinion 11, which was 
applied in 1992 and prior years, deferred income taxes are 
recognized for income and expense items that are reported in 
different years for financial reporting purposes and income tax 
purposes using the tax rate applicable for the year of 
calculation.  Under the deferred method, deferred taxes are not 
adjusted for subsequent changes in tax rates.

Revenue Recognition

   Revenues from system sales and software licenses are recognized 
at the time of shipment.  Contract service revenues are billed in 
advance and recorded as deferred revenue.  Service 
revenues are then recognized ratably over the contractual period 
as the services are performed.  Training and consulting revenues 
are recognized as the related services are performed.  Custom 
design and software porting revenues are recognized using the 
percentage of completion method or as contract milestones are 
achieved.

Software Development Costs

   The Company capitalizes certain software development costs 
incurred.  These capitalized costs are amortized over the 
estimated economic life of the software, not exceeding three 
years, computed principally on a straight-line basis.  
Amortization is included in system and software cost of 
revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.  All other 
research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Net Loss Per Common and Common Equivalent Share

   For 1993, 1992 and 1991, the weighted average number of common 
and common equivalent shares outstanding was calculated using only 
common shares outstanding.  Common stock equivalents, related to 
stock options outstanding, are anti dilutive as the Company is in 
a loss situation and, therefore, are not included.  

Reclassifications

   Certain reclassifications have been made in the accompanying 
consolidated financial statements for 1991 and 1992 to conform 
with the 1993 presentation.

2. Restructuring

   In December 1993, the Company recorded a charge of $24,800 
associated with a restructuring plan aimed at reducing operating 
expenses by streamlining and reorganizing company operations.  
These costs consist primarily of direct costs related to the 
severance and relocation of employees, facilities closures, and 
write-offs of excess equipment and intangible software technology 
assets related to discontinued product development.  The plan will 
be implemented in phases during 1994.
   In August 1992 and 1991, the Company executed restructuring 
plans aimed at improving its focus on the core businesses of 
integrated circuit design and electronic systems design.  
Restructure costs of $12,900 and $27,100 were recognized in 1992 
and 1991, respectively.  These restructuring costs included direct 
costs related to the severance and relocation of employees, 
consolidation of facilities, and write-offs of intangible software 
technology assets related to discontinued product 
lines.  The 1991 restructure costs were offset by a net gain on 
the sale of certain assets and the subcontracting of the Company^s 
North American hardware service business to Hewlett-Packard
Company.
   Following is a summary of the major elements of the 
restructure charges:

Year ended December 31,            1993         1992         1991
Employee severance
     and relocation            $ 19,400     $  5,700     $  9,700
Asset write-offs 
     and product 
     discontinuance costs         2,300        6,435       16,300
Facilities closures and 
     consolidation                4,300        1,800        2,600

     Total                     $ 24,800     $ 12,900     $ 27,100

3. Business Acquisition

   On December 1, 1993, the Company issued approximately 421 
shares of its common stock for all the outstanding common and 
preferred stock of CheckLogic Systems, Inc. (CheckLogic).  In 
addition, up to 35 common shares were reserved for issuance with 
respect to CheckLogic employee stock options outstanding.  
CheckLogic is a developer of automatic test pattern generation 
point tools used to test designs of application specific 
integerated circuits.  The Company has accounted for this 
transaction as a pooling of interests, and the financial results 
for the year ended December 31, 1993 include the accounts of 
CheckLogic.  The separate financial results of CheckLogic prior to 
the acquisition are not material, and accordingly the consolidated 
financial statements for 1992 and 1991 have not been restated.

4. Income Taxes

   As discussed in Note 1, the Company adopted Statement No. 109 
as of January 1, 1993.  The cumulative effect of this change in 
accounting for income taxes was not material to the Company^s 
financial statements, and is therefore not disclosed separately in 
the Consolidated Statement of Operations, for the year ended 
December 31, 1993.  Prior years^ financial statements have not 
been restated to apply the provisions of Statement No. 109.
   Domestic and foreign pre-tax income (loss) is as follows:

Year ended December 31,          1993          1992          1991

     Total                   $(29,649)     $(48,271)     $(63,003)

The provision (benefit) for income taxes 
is as follows:

     Total                   $  2,424     $   2,590     $  (1,390)

The effective tax (benefit) rate differs from the Federal 
statutory rates as follows:

Year ended December 31,          1993          1992          1991

The significant components of deferred income tax expense for the 
year ended December 31, 1993 are as follows:

Net changes in deferred tax 
     assets and liabilities                             $  (8,205)
Increase in beginning-of-year

     Total                                              $    545

   For the years ended December 31, 1992 and 1991, deferred income 
tax expense of $2,512 and $3,594, respectively, results from 
timing differences in the recognition of income and expense for 
income tax and financial reporting purposes.  The sources and tax 
effects of those timing differences are presented below:

As of December 31,                            1992          1991
Depreciation                               $ 1,198      $ (5,267)

     Total                                $  2,512      $  3,594

The tax effects of temporary differences and carryforwards which 
gave rise to significant portions of deferred tax assets and 
liabilities were as follows:

As of December 31,                                          1993
Deferred tax assets:
Property and equipment, principally 
 due to differences in depreciation 
 and capitalized interest                               $    810
Inventories, principally due to adjustments 
 to lower of cost or market                                3,358
Accounts receivable, principally due 
 to allowance for doubtful accounts                        1,241
Compensated absences and other 
 compensation, principally due to accrual 
 for financial reporting purposes                          3,105
Restructure costs, principally due to accrual 
 for financial reporting purposes                          9,642
Net operating loss carryforwards                          29,576
Tax credit carryforwards                                  11,523
Other, net                                                 1,663
     Total gross deferred tax assets                      60,918
     Less valuation allowance                            (58,495)
     Net deferred tax assets                               2,423
Deferred tax liabilities:
Capitalization of software development 
 costs for financial reporting purposes                   (3,634)
Net deferred tax liabilities                            $ (1,211)

   The Company has established a valuation allowance for certain 
current deferred tax assets, and net operating loss and tax credit 
carryforwards. Statement No. 109 requires that such a valuation 
allowance be recorded when it is more likely than not that some 
portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  The 
valuation allowance as of January 1, 1993 was $49,745. 
   The effect of Statement No. 109 on the consolidated effective 
tax rate for 1993 and future years, compared to those rates which 
would have applied under APB Opinion 11, is not expected to be 
material to the Company^s financial statements.
   As of December 31, 1993, the Company has net operating loss 
carryforwards for income tax purposes of approximately $74,100.  
Such carryforwards will expire from 1996 to 2008 if not 
used by the Company to reduce income taxes payable in future 
periods. 
   As of December 31, 1993 the Company has foreign tax credits and 
research and experimentation tax credits totaling approximately 
$11,500.  These tax credits can be applied against Federal tax 
liabilities from 1994 through 2008 subject to various limitations 
under current tax law.  
   The Company has not provided for Federal income taxes on 
approximately $64,600 of undistributed earnings of foreign 
subsidiaries at December 31, 1993, since these earnings have 
been invested indefinitely in subsidiary operations.  Upon 
repatriation, some of these earnings would generate foreign tax 
credits which will reduce the Federal tax liability associated 
with any future foreign dividend.  
   The Company has settled its Federal income tax obligations 
through 1991.  The Company believes the provisions for income 
taxes for years since 1991 are adequate.

        equipment, net                     $104,912      $109,580

   In January, 1993, the Company entered into an agreement to 
lease a portion of its headquarters site in Wilsonville, Oregon.  
Under terms of the five-year agreement, approximately 150 square 
feet of space will be made available to a third party on a firm 
take-down schedule.  The agreement results in rental payments of 
$3,985 over the remaining term of the lease.

   The Company capitalized software development costs of $3,609, 
$6,120, and $9,917 in 1993, 1992, and 1991, respectively.  Related 
amortization expense of $7,449, $5,875, and $3,961 was 
recorded for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992, and 1991, 
respectively.  
   Purchased technology is carried at cost and is 
amortized over the estimated economic life of the technology, 
generally three years.  Related amortization expense of $565, 
$636, and $3,183 was recorded for the years ended December 31, 
1993, 1992, and 1991, respectively.  
   During 1993, 1992 and 1991, certain purchased technology and 
software development costs were written off due to product 
discontinuances resulting from the December 1993, August 1992 and 
August 1991 restructurings.  These write-offs, combined with 
write-downs of certain other software development, prepaid 
royalties, and purchased technology to net realizable value, 
totaled $812, $1,005 and $11,774 in 1993, 1992 and 1991, 
respectively.

7. Short-Term Borrowings

   Short-term borrowings represent drawings by subsidiaries under 
multi-currency unsecured credit agreements and the current portion 
of long-term debt.  Interest rates are generally based on the 
applicable country^s prime lending rate depending on the currency 
borrowed.  The Company has available lines of credit of 
approximately $25,255 as of December 31, 1993.  Certain agreements 
require compensatory balances which the Company has met.  

8. Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt is comprised of the following:
As of December 31,                             1993          1992
Revolving term credit facility             $ 55,000      $ 50,000

Other                                           161           299
                                             57,842        55,800
Less current portion                         (3,521)          (91)
     Total                                 $ 54,321      $ 55,709

   Effective December 31, 1992, the Company amended its committed 
credit facility with First Interstate Bank of Oregon, N.A.  Under 
terms of the amendment, the revolving credit facility 
remains in effect until July 2000 and the commitment level was 
established at $55,000.  Interest on borrowings under the credit 
facility remain floating-rate based.  Borrowings are 
collateralized by cash and investments of $30,000 and a trust deed
on the Company^s headquarters site in Wilsonville, Oregon of 
$25,000.  The amendment requires commitment reductions of $840 
annually beginning in July 1994, therefore $840 is classified as 
current and included in short-term borrowings on the Consolidated 
Balance Sheet as of December 31, 1993.
   In conjunction with the loan amendment, the Company also 
modified its interest rate swap agreement with First Interstate 
Bank of Oregon, N.A., reducing the notional amount from $50,000 
to $17,500 without any negative financial impact.  The interest 
rate swap agreement effectively converts floating rates on $17,500 
of borrowings to a fixed rate of 9.55% until expiration of the 
agreement in January 2000.  The amendment allowed the Company to 
subject $32,500 of 9.55% fixed rate borrowings to more favorable 
floating rates.  The average floating interest rate as of 
December 31, 1993 was approximately 5%.  While the Company may be 
exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by the 
counterparty to the interest rate swap agreement, the risk of 
incurring losses due to nonperformance by the counterparty is 
considered remote 
   During 1992, the Company^s Japanese subsidiary borrowed 300 
million Yen ($2,681 and $2,405 at December 31, 1993 and 1992 
exchange rates, respectively) from a local bank to finance its 
local operations.  The interest rate on these borrowings is 
floating-rate based with a cap of 5.95%.  The effective rate on 
these borrowings during 1993 was approximately 4%.  The entire 
bank note matures on July 20, 1994 and is classified as current 
and included in short-term borrowings on the Consolidated Balance 
Sheet as of December 31, 1993.
   The fair market value of the Company^s long-term debt 
approximates its carrying value as the interest rates on 
borrowings are floating-rate based.  The Company would incur a 
cost of approximately $3,660 to terminate its interest rate swap 
agreement as of December 31, 1993.  This cost is based on dealer 
quotes taking into consideration current interest rates and the 
current creditworthiness of the counterparties.

9. Incentive Stock Plan

   The Board of Directors has the authority to issue incentive 
stock in one or more series and to determine the relative rights 
and preferences of the incentive stock (note 10).  The incentive 
stock is convertible into common stock upon attainment of 
specified objectives or upon the occurrence of 
certain events to be determined by the Board of Directors.

10. Employee Stock and Savings Plans

   The Company has five stock option plans.  The three common 
stock option plans provide for the granting of incentive and 
nonqualified stock options to key employees, officers, and non-
employee directors of the Company and its subsidiaries.  
   The three stock option plans are administered by the 
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, and permit 
accelerated vesting of outstanding options upon the occurrence of 
certain changes in the control of the Company.
   The Company also has a stock plan which provides for the sale 
of common stock to key employees of the Company and its 
subsidiaries.  Shares can be awarded under the plan at no purchase 
price as a stock bonus, and the stock plan also provides for the 
granting of nonqualified stock options.
   In addition, the Company has an incentive stock option plan and 
has reserved 600 shares of incentive stock for issuance.  No 
options have been granted under this plan.
   Options under all five plans generally become exercisable over 
a five-year period from the date of grant or from the commencement 
of employment at prices generally not less than the fair market 
value at the date of grant.  The excess, if any, of the fair 
market value of the shares at the measurement date over the option 
price is charged to operations ratably over the vesting period.  
At December 31, 1993, options for 2,451 shares were exercisable, 
19,810 shares were reserved for issuance, and 1,674 shares were 
available for future grant.  Stock options outstanding and 
transactions involving the stock option plans are summarized as 
follows:
                                                        Price per
                                         Shares           Share

   In October 1992, the Board of Directors adopted a resolution to 
offer employees holding incentive and nonqualified stock options 
for 5,840 shares the opportunity to exchange their existing 
options for nonqualified stock options.  The exchange allowed 
employees to receive options for the same number of shares at 
$6.00 per share, the then current market price.  The new options 
vest ratably over between two to five years, depending on the 
vesting status of exchanged options as of January 2, 1993.  The 
offer was made because the Board of Directors believes lower-
priced options provide a greater incentive to key employees and 
officers.  Options holders elected to exchange options covering 
3,808 shares.
   In May 1989, the shareholders adopted the 1989 Employee Stock 
Purchase Plan and reserved 1,400 shares for issuance.  In April 
1992, the shareholders amended the plan to reserve an 
additional 2,000 shares for issuance.  Under the plan, each 
eligible employee may purchase up to six hundred shares of stock 
per quarter at prices no less than 85% of its fair market value 
determined at certain specified dates.  Employees purchased 605 
and 569 shares under the plan in 1993 and 1992, respectively.  At 
December 31, 1993, 1,324 shares remain available for future 
purchase under the plan.  The plan will expire upon either 
issuance of all shares reserved for issuance or at the discretion 
of the Board of Directors.  There are no plans to terminate the 
plan at this time.
   The Company has an employee savings plan (the Savings Plan) 
that qualifies as a deferred salary arrangement under Section 
401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.  Under the Savings Plan, 
participating U.S. employees may defer a portion of their pretax 
earnings, up to the Internal Revenue Service annual contribution 
limit.  The Company currently matches 50% of eligible employee^s 
contributions, up to a maximum of 6% of the employee^s earnings.  
Employer matching contributions vest over 5 years, 20% for each 
year of service completed.  The Company^s matchingcontributions to 
the Savings Plan were $1,896, $1,989, and $2,140 in 1993, 1992, 
and 1991, respectively.

11. Commitments

The Company leases a majority of its field office facilities under 
noncancellable operating leases.  In addition, the Company leases 
certain equipment used in its research and development activities.  
This equipment is generally leased on a month-to-month basis after 
meeting a six-month lease minimum.  
   The Company rents its Japanese facilities under a two-year 
cancellable lease with a six month notice of cancellation.  The 
total commitment under this cancellable lease is $6,444, of which 
the first six month^s payments in 1994 of $1,878 are included in 
the schedule below.  Future minimum lease payments under 
noncancellable operating  leases are approximately as follows:

14. Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts

   At December 31, 1993 and 1992, the Company had forward 
contracts outstanding of $13,847 and $18,899, respectively, to buy 
and sell various foreign currencies.  These contracts generally 
have maturities which do not exceed six months.  At December 31, 
1993, the estimated fair value of these contracts was $13,797 
based on dealer quotes.  The Company does not anticipate non-
performance by the counterparties to these contracts.

15. Industry and Geographic Information

   The Company designs, manufactures, markets and provides related 
service for electronic design automation software for the 
integrated circuit (IC) and systems design markets.  The Company^s 
software products enable engineers and designers to design, 
analyze, place, route, layout and test custom ICs, application 
specific ICs (ASIC), printed circuit boards, multichip modules and 
other electronic systems and subsystems
   Foreign operations consist of offices whose principal 
activities are the sale, distribution, and service of the 
Company^s products.  Foreign offices purchase the computer 
workstations on which the Company^s software operates principally 
from suppliers located in each respective geographic area.  
Software reproduction facilities operate in both Europe and 
Asia-Pacific to supply the Company^s software directly to these 
market areas.
   Intercompany transfers are accounted for at amounts generally 
above cost.  Corporate expenses are general expenses which are not 
allocated to the operations of each geographic area.  For the 
purposes of determining operating income, research and development 
and certain marketing expenses are allocated based on each 
region^s percentage of total revenue contribution.  Corporate 
assets are comprised of capital assets used in research and 
development activities, short-term investments, and cash and 
investments classified as long-term in the consolidated balance 
sheets.  Geographic information for 1993, 1992 and 1991 is set 
forth in the table below.

Report of Management

   Management of Mentor Graphics Corporation is responsible for 
the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial 
statements.  The consolidated financial statements have been 
prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting 
principles appropriate in the circumstances and necessarily 
include some amounts which represent the best estimates and 
judgments of management.  The consolidated financial statements 
have been audited by KPMG Peat Marwick, independent auditors, 
whose report is included on this page.
   The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is comprised of 
two directors who are not officers or employees of Mentor Graphics 
Corporation or its subsidiaries.  These directors meet with 
management and the independent auditors in connection with their 
review of matters relating to the Company^s annual financial 
statements, the Company^s system of internal accounting controls, 
and the services of the independent auditors.  The Committee meets 
with the independent auditors, without management present, to 
discuss appropriate matters.  The Committee reports its findings 
to the Board of Directors and also recommends the selection and 
engagement of independent auditors.

Independent Auditors^ Report
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Mentor Graphics 
Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of 
Mentor Graphics Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 
1993 and 1992, and the related consolidated statements of 
operations, stockholders^ equity, and cash flows for each of the 
years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1993.  These 
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the 
Company^s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion 
on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
   We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted 
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and 
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether 
the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An 
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the 
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit 
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and 
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating 
the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our 
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
   In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred 
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial 
position of Mentor Graphics Corporation and subsidiaries as of 
December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the results of their operations 
and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year 
period ended December 31, 1993, in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles.
   As discussed in Notes 1 and 4 to the consolidated financial 
statements, the Company adopted the provisions of the Financial 
Accounting Standards Board^s Statement of Financial Accounting 
Standards No. 109, ^Accounting for Income Taxes^ in 1993.
