                       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 1994 to conform with
     the 1995 presentation.


(2)  Acquisitions -  On May 4, 1995, the Company completed the
     acquisition of Axiom Datorer Skandinavien AB (Axiom).  Axiom is
     primarily engaged in developing, marketing and supporting
     software library tools used to model electronic components
     primarily for the printed circuit board and to a lesser extent
     the application specific integrated circuit markets of the
     electronic design automation (EDA) industry.  Axiom's product
     offerings are complementary to the CompanyOs current broad line
     of EDA tools and systems.  The total purchase price was $480 in
     addition to Axiom's net deficit of $413 for a total acquisition
     cost basis of $893.  The transaction was accounted for as a
     purchase, and therefore, the Consolidated Balance Sheet of
     Axiom has been included in the accompanying Consolidated
     Balance sheets as of June 30, 1995.  The cost of the
     acquisition was allocated on the basis of estimated fair value
     of the assets and liabilities assumed.  This allocation
     resulted in a charge for in-process R&D of $400, goodwill
     capitalization of $398 and technology capitalization of $95.
     The charge for in-process R&D was a result of allocating a
     portion of the acquisition cost to Axiom's in-process product
     development that had not reached technological feasibility.
     The goodwill costs will be amortized over a three year period
     to R&D expense primarily to recognize the value of the
     development work-force acquired. The technology costs will be
     amortized over a three year period to system and software cost
     of revenues.  Financial results subsequent to the acquisition
     date have been included in the Consolidated Statements of
     Operations and Cash Flows.  The separate operational results of
     Axiom were not material compared to the CompanyOs overall
     results of operations, and accordingly pro-forma financial
     statements of the combined entities have been omitted.
     On May 31, 1995, the Company issued 1,512 shares of its common
     stock for all outstanding common stock of Exemplar Logic, Inc.
     (Exemplar).  Exemplar develops, markets and supports a family
     of software tools for high-level-design-automation for the
     application specific integrated circuit and field programmable
     gate array markets.  Exemplar's product offerings are
     complementary to the Company's line of EDA tools and systems.
     The Company accounted for this transaction as a pooling of
     interests.  The balance sheet of Exemplar is included in the
     accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 1995 and
     Exemplar's results of operations are included in the
     accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations for all of
     1995.  The Company's prior year financial statements were not
     restated due to the relative materiality of Exemplar's separate
     financial statements for 1994 and prior.  Merger expenses of
     $350 were for services rendered to facilitate completion of the
     merger agreement and severance costs.

(3)  Restructuring-   Implementation of the Company's restructuring
     plan approved by management in December 1993, and modified in
     1994 continued during the second quarter of 1995.  Costs
     remaining 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.

     During the second quarter of 1995, several elements of the
     restructuring plan were adjusted due to updated information.
     Costs associated with an international reorganization have been
     modified due to additional cost information related to
     implementation activities associated with a new global
     information system.  In addition, certain actions associated
     with a product discontinuance plan will not be taken as the
     technology will be used by the Company's consulting
     organization.  As a result, the Company recorded a $2,040
     credit during the second quarter of 1995 reflecting these lower
     costs.


(4)  Capitalization of Software Development Costs - During the first
     six months of 1995 and 1994, $3,060 and $3,073 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 $2,472 and $3,487 for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and
     1994, respectively, and is included in system and software cost
     of revenues on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.


(5)  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 percentages)


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

REVENUES AND GROSS MARGINS

System and Software

System and software revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1995,
totaled $46,956, representing an increase of  $2,367 or 5% from the
second quarter of 1994.  For the first six months of 1995, system
and software revenues declined $3,929 or 4% from the same period a
year ago.  Second quarter system and software gross margins slightly
decreased to 82% in 1995 compared to 83% in the same period of 1994.
For the first six months of 1995 and 1994, system and software gross
margins were 82%.

System and software revenues were lower in the first half of 1995
versus the same period of 1994 due to a one-time contract which
yielded approximately $11,000 in the first quarter of 1994.  This
year-to-year decline was off-set by the acquisitions of Anacad
Electrical Engineering Software GmbH (Anacad), Exemplar and Axiom
which contributed approximately $3,600 of system and software
revenues for the first six months of 1995 compared to zero for the
same period a year ago.  System and software product revenues are
shifting from maturing product offerings to new product offerings.
The extent to which sales of new products will off-set declining
sales of older products will remain difficult to predict for some
time.

System and software gross margin levels are dependent on such
factors as third party software content for which royalties are
paid, lower margin hardware revenue levels, and amortization of
previously capitalized software development costs and purchased
technology costs.  Third party software royalty costs have been
favorably impacted by acquisitions of third parties where existing
agreements were in place. The Company continues to have other third
party contracts that contribute varying levels of revenues and cost
of revenues quarter to quarter.  Future trends of third party
revenue content are difficult to predict since they are dependent on
such variables as new third party agreements, potential acquisitions
of third parties where existing agreements are in place, and varying
levels of customer demand for third party product offerings.

The overall mix of hardware versus software continues to move toward
software.  The Company experienced some hardware sales to meet
customer requests when gross margins were above a minimum level.  In
the first half of 1995, the hardware component of system and
software revenue declined to 8% from 9% for the period last year.
The Company expects hardware revenue to decline at a moderate rate
for the second half of 1995.

Amortization of previously capitalized software development costs to
system and software cost of revenues was $1,336 and $2,472 for the
second quarter and first six months of 1995, respectively, compared
to $1,477 and $3,487 for the same periods a year ago.  In 1994,
amortization reflected a higher level of capitalized costs
accumulated during development of Version 8 software products.  The
amortization level declined in the first half of 1995 as several
capitalized projects became fully amortized during the prior year.
Purchased technology amortization to system and software cost of
goods sold was $1,109 and $106 for the six months ended June 30,
1995 and 1994, respectively.  The increase in purchased technology
amortization is due to various technology acquisitions in 1994,
including the purchase of Anacad on September 30, 1994.  Exclusive
of additional acquisitions, amortization of capitalized software
development and purchased technology costs are expected to be
approximately flat for the next several quarters.


Service  and Support

Service and support revenues for the second quarter of 1995 were
$46,812, representing an increase of 27% from the comparable quarter
of 1994.  For the first six months of 1995, service and support
revenues totaled $89,601, representing an increase of 26% from the
same period of 1994.

Growth in software support revenue is attributable to growth in the
Company's installed customer base, and continued success of the
Company's software support programs.  The Company continues to
experience higher renewal rates for its software support program due
partially to the improved quality of the current software product
offerings.  Since growth in software support is dependent on
continued success of the software product offerings and increases in
the Company's installed customer base, future software support
revenue levels are difficult to predict.

Professional and other service revenues for the second quarter of
1995 were $13,000, an increase of 71% from the comparable quarter of
1994.  For the first six months of 1995, professional and other
service revenues totaled $24,900, an increase of 51% from the same
period of 1994.  Overall professional service revenues are expected
to continue to grow.  In particular, integrated circuit technology
center (ICTC) custom design services are experiencing increased
demand.  Over the past year, the Company has added resources to the
ICTC business in response to the increased demand resulting in
higher revenue levels as more design contracts are completed.

Service and support gross margins were 57% for each of the quarters
ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, and 57% for each of the first six
months of 1995 and 1994, respectively.  Service and support gross
margins were favorably impacted by higher software support revenue
volume and unfavorably impacted by professional service margins.
Consistent with consulting and training business models, gross
margins generated by the Company's professional service activities
have been and are expected to continue to be lower than software
support.  Service and support gross margins are expected to be lower
as growth in the professional service business is expected to be
higher than growth in software support.


OPERATING EXPENSES

The following summarizes research and development (R&D) costs:

                        Three Months Ended     Six Months Ended
                               June 30,            June 30,


                          1995      1994        1995      1994
  Gross R&D             $18,697   $18,332     $37,863   $36,639
  Capitalized R&D        (1,096)   (2,200)     (3,060)   (3,073)
     Net R&D            $17,601   $16,132     $34,803   $33,566


Higher gross R&D expenses are attributable to merger and acquisition
activity off-set by lower base business head count.  The
acquisitions of Anacad, Exemplar and Axiom resulted in additional
R&D expenses of $2,866 in the first half of 1995, compared to zero
in the same period of 1994.  The Company closed an Integrated
Circuit Division R&D site during the first quarter of 1994,
consolidating activities with other pre-existing locations resulting
in lower expense levels for the first six months of 1995 compared to
the same period of 1994.  R&D expenses are expected to increase as
new business opportunities are funded for the second half of 1995.

During the second quarter and the first six months of 1995,
marketing, general and administration (MG&A) expenses were $37,638
and $72,638, respectively, compared to $36,562 and $73,760 for the
same periods of 1994, respectively.  The increase in MG&A expenses
is principally attributable to merger and acquisition activity
discussed above, off-set by  lower base business head count.  The
acquisitions of Anacad, Exemplar and Axiom resulted in additional
MG&A expenses of $4,200 in the first half of 1995, compared to zero
in the same period of 1994.   In 1994, the Company streamlined its
North American, European and Japanese organizations to improve the
ratio of selling and administrative expense compared to regional
revenue levels.  This process was executed throughout 1994 resulting
in lower expense levels as the year progressed.  In addition,
corporate administrative costs have been reduced to better align
spending levels with industry business model standards.  Spending
levels should remain approximately flat with second quarter levels
exclusive of normal seasonality and possible future acquisitions.
Normal seasonality is expected to result in slightly lower MG&A
costs in the third quarter and increased MG&A costs in the fourth
quarter.

MERGER RELATED CHARGES

Merger related charges are the result of a write-off of in-process
R&D of $400 associated with the Axiom transaction and $400 in
expenses primarily associated with the acquisition of Exemplar for
services rendered to facilitate completion of the merger agreement
and severance costs.  On May 4, 1995, the Company completed the
acquisition of Axiom.  The total purchase price of Axiom was $480 in
addition to Axiom's net deficit of $413 for a total acquisition cost
basis of $893. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase.  The
cost of the acquisition has been allocated on the basis of estimated
fair value of the assets and liabilities assumed.  This allocation
resulted in a one-time charge for in-process R&D of $400,
capitalization of goodwill of $398 and capitalization of technology
of $95.  The charge for in-process R&D was a result of allocating a
portion of the acquisition cost to Axiom's in-process product
development that had not reached technological feasibility.   On May
31, 1995, the Company completed the merger with Exemplar.  The
transaction was accounted for as a pooling of interests.  The
CompanyOs prior year financial statements were not restated due to
relative materiality of Exemplar's separate financial statements for
1994 and prior years.

RESTRUCTURING COSTS

Implementation of the Company's restructuring plan approved by
management in December 1993, and modified in 1994 continued during
the second quarter of 1995.  Costs remaining 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.

During the second quarter of 1995, several elements of the
restructuring plan were adjusted due to updated information.  Costs
associated with an international reorganization have been modified
due to additional cost information related to implementation
activities associated with a new global information system.  In
addition, certain actions associated with a product discontinuance
plan will not be taken as the technology will be used by the
Company's consulting organization.  As a result, the Company
recorded a $2,040 credit during the second quarter of 1995
reflecting these lower costs.

Approximately $9,000 of the December 31, 1995 restructuring accrual
of $11,897 should result in cash outflows during 1995.  For the
first half of 1995, restructure-related cash outflows were
approximately $2,300.  For the second half of 1995, disbursements
are anticipated to be near $7,000.  Approximately $1,000, primarily
related to facilities closures, is expected to be disbursed after
1995.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)

During the second quarter and the first six months of 1995, other
income was $1,827 and $2,988, compared to other income of $331 and
$889 for the same periods of 1994, respectively.  Interest income
from investments was $2,338 and $4,008 for the second quarter and
first six months of 1995, respectively, compared to $990 and $2,082
for the same periods of 1994.  The increase in interest income is
primarily attributable to higher average cash, cash equivalents and
short term investments outstanding during the comparable quarters.
During the second quarter and first six months of 1995, interest
expense amounted to $465 and $1,106, respectively, down from $869
and $1,504 for the comparable periods in 1993.  The decrease in
interest expense is due to lower average debt outstanding and lower
average interest rates for the comparable periods.


PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes amounted to $1,330 for the quarter
ended June 30, 1995, as compared to $960 for the same period in
1994.  For the first six months of 1995, the provision for income
taxes was $3,030 compared to $1,900 for the same period a year ago.

Effective January 1, 1993 the Company adopted Statement No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes."  At that time a valuation allowance
for certain current deferred tax assets, and net operating loss and
tax credit carryforwards was established.  The valuation allowance
as of December 31, 1994 was $46,213, of which $1,974 was related to
deferred tax assets of the Company's Japanese subsidiary.  The
reserve was established when it was more likely than not that some
portion of the deferred tax asset would not be realized.  Based on
current operating income levels before tax for the Company's
Japanese subsidiary, it has been determined that it is now more
likely than not that Japan's deferred tax assets will be realized.
As such, the tax provision for the second quarter and the last six
months of 1995 has been adjusted for the reversal of the valuation
allowance for the Japanese deferred tax assets.  This reversal,
in addition to changes in operating income forecasts of certain tax 
jurisdictions, results in a lower effective tax rate than was posted 
in the first quarter of 1995.  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 1995.


EFFECTS OF FOREIGN CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS

The Company experienced a net gain from foreign currency
transactions of $57 and $153 during the second quarter and first six
months of 1995, respectively, compared to a net gain of $38 and a
net loss of $53 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, 1995,
increased to $19,796 from $12,674 at the end of 1994.  This reflects
the increase in the value of net assets denominated in foreign
currencies against the U.S. dollar since year-end 1994.

During the period from December 31, 1994 to June 30, 1995, the U.S.
dollar weakened approximately 15% against the Japanese yen and 7%
against the European currencies.  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, 1995 were $174,694 compared
to $137,856 at the end of 1994.  Cash provided by operations was
$37,498 for the first six months of 1995 compared to $8,707 during
the same period of 1994.  Cash provided by operations was positively
impacted by net income of $18,430 for the first six months of 1995
compared to $9,463 for the same period of 1994.  In addition, strong
collection efforts decreased trade receivables by $8,718 offset by
decreased accounts payable of $4,273 due primarily to higher year
end activity in an attempt to match costs with fiscal year budgets.
Cash and short-term investments at June 30, 1995 were positively
impacted by proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $11,310,
offset by decreased short-term borrowings of $1,066, investment in
property, plant and equipment of $9,260, and new business
investments of $2,930.

TRADE  ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Trade accounts receivable decreased to $76,025 at June 30, 1995 from
$82,285 at year-end 1994.  This decrease was attributable to a more
evenly distributed shipment pattern during the first six months of
1995 compared to the fourth quarter of 1994.  As a result, a higher
percent of shipments made during the second quarter of 1995 were
converted into cash collections before the period ended.

OTHER ASSETS

Other assets increased to $29,376 at June 30, 1995 from $28,090 at
year-end 1994.  Net capitalized software development costs increased
by $588 as capitalization and amortization were $3,060 and $2,472,
respectively, during the first six months of 1995.  This increase
was also attributable to the purchase of Axiom for $493 and  $1,700
spent on investment in other technology companies in which the
Company owns a minority interest.  This increase in other assets was
offset by amortization of goodwill and purchased technology of
$1,791.


CAPITAL RESOURCES

Total capital expenditures increased to $9,260 through June 30,
1995, compared to $6,537 for the same period of 1994.  The increase
in capital expenditures is primarily a result of costs associated
with a new global information system.  These expenditures will
continue as the year progresses.  The Company anticipates that
current cash balances, anticipated cash flows from operating
activities, and existing credit facilities will be sufficient to
meet its working capital needs for at least the next twelve months.
