            NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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.

         In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long- Lived Assets to Be Disposed
Of." Statement No. 121 provides specific guidance regarding when impairment
of Long-Lived assets such as plant, equipment and certain intangibles
including goodwill and capitalized technology should be recognized and how
impairment losses of such assets should be measured. The Company is
preparing to adopt Statement No. 121 in January 1996 and expects the impact
on its Statements of Operations and Financial Position will not be
material.

2.       ACQUISITIONS

         On May 4, 1995, the Company completed the acquisition of Axiom
Datorer Skandinavien AB (Axiom), headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden. 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 Company's 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 Company's 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)
headquartered in Alameda, California. 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

                                     6
<PAGE>
accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 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 which was
approved by management in December of 1993 and modified in 1994, continued
during 1995. During the second quarter of 1995, the Company recorded a
$2,040 restructure adjustment which is summarized below:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                                                             Nine Months
                                                                Ended
                                                            September 30,
                                                                 1995
                                                           -----------------
<S>                                                                  <C>     
Employee severance and relocation..........................          $(1,540)
Asset write-offs and product discontinuance costs..........             (500)
                                                           -----------------
Total......................................................          $(2,040)
                                                           =================
</TABLE>

         The adjustment was primarily associated with the 1993 charge and
was mainly the result of reduced estimates for severance costs associated
with replacement and globalization of the Company's information systems.
Information system implementation delays culminated when a key project plan
milestone was missed during the quarter, resulting in lower estimated costs
for write-offs of old equipment due to prolonged in-service periods. In
addition, certain actions associated with a product discontinuance plan
were not taken when management determined that the technology could be used
by the Company's consulting organization and sold as a custom integrated
service rather than as a commercial design tool.

         Costs remaining to be incurred in executing the restructuring plan
consist primarily of direct costs associated with severance of employees,
product discontinuance activities, and facility closure activities.
Remaining severance and relocation accruals are for continued changes in
product development and field sales organizations. Senior management
changes in both organizations were finalized in the second half of 1995
which should accelerate implementation of the final stages of the
restructuring plan. In addition, costs associated with globalization of the
Company's information systems remain accrued until the new system is
implemented in 1996. The following is a summary of the major elements of
the remaining restructure accrual:

                                                                                    As of
                                                                                September 30,          December 31,

                                                                              ------------------     -----------------

Total........................................................................             $6,460               $11,897

</TABLE>

         Approximately $6,000 of the December 1994 restructuring accrual of
$11,897 should result in cash outflows in 1995. For the first nine months
of 1995, restructure related cash outflows were approximately $3,400, in
addition to the second quarter adjustment of $2,040. For the fourth quarter
of

                                     7
<PAGE>
1995, disbursements are anticipated to be approximately $2,500. The
remaining accrual of approximately $4,000 is expected to be disbursed in
the first half of 1996.

4.       CAPITALIZATION OF SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS

         During the first nine months of 1995 and 1994, $5,002 and $4,064
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 $3,653 and
$5,027 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively,
and is included in system and software cost of revenues on the Consolidated
Statements of Operations.

         The following provides additional information concerning cash flow
activities:

</TABLE>

6.       STOCK REPURCHASE

         In August, 1995 the Company's Board of Directors approved a plan
to repurchase, from time to time over the next eighteen months on the open
market, up to $50,000 in market value of the Company's common shares.
During the third quarter of 1995, the Company repurchased 110 shares on the
open market with a market value of $2,250. All 110 shares repurchased
during the third quarter of 1995 were subsequently re-issued through the
Company's stock option plan exercises prior to consummation of the October
16, 1995 acquisition of Precedence Incorporated (Precedence) described in
Note 7.

7.       SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

         On October 16, 1995, the Company issued 735 shares of its common
stock for all outstanding common stock of Precedence headquartered in Santa
Clara, California. Precedence is primarily engaged in developing, marketing
and supporting simulation backplane technology and co-simulation solutions
for the electronic design automation industry. Precedence's product
offerings are complementary to the Company's current broad line of EDA
tools and systems. the Company accounted for this transaction as a pooling
of interest. Since the acquisition was consummated subsequent to September
30, 1995, the results of Precedence are not included in the Consolidated
Financial Statements. The Company's prior year financial statements will
not be restated due to the relative materiality of Precedence's separate
financial statements for 1994 and prior. In addition, the separate
operating results of Precedence are not material compared to the Company's
overall results of operations, and accordingly, pro forma financial
statements of the combined entities have been omitted.

         On October 9, 1995, the Company entered into a merger agreement
with Microtec, headquartered in Santa Clara, California. Under terms of the
Agreement, which is subject to approval by the shareholders of Microtec and
certain other conditions, the Company will issue an estimated 6,500 shares
of its common stock for all outstanding common stock of Microtec. The
Company anticipates that the transaction will be completed on or about
February 1, 1996. When consummated, the merger will be

                                     8
<PAGE>
accounted for as a pooling of interests. Microtec is primarily engaged in
developing and marketing products to optimize the development and operation
of embedded systems across hardware/software boundaries. Microtec's
integrated software product solutions enable embedded systems developers to
increase productivity, thereby decreasing costs of product development and
reducing time-to-market for new products. Microtec's product offerings are
complementary to the Company's current broad line of EDA tools and systems.
Since the acquisition has not been consummated, the results of Microtec are
not included in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

         The following is a summary of certain information concerning pro
forma consolidated financial information for the Company and Microtec for
the interim periods presented:

ITEM 2.       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
              AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(All numerical references are in thousands, except for percentages)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

System and Software Revenues and Gross Margins

         System and software revenues for the quarter ended September 30,
1995, totaled $47,290, representing an increase of $5,616 or 13% from the
third quarter of 1994. For the first nine months of 1995, system and
software revenues increased $1,687 or 1% from the same period a year ago.
Third quarter system and software gross margins increased slightly to 83%
in 1995 compared to 81% in the same period of 1994. For the first nine
months of 1995 and 1994, system and software gross margins were 82%.

         System and software revenues experienced only modest growth in the
first nine months 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.
The acquisitions of Anacad, Exemplar Logic, Inc. (Exemplar) and Axiom
Datorer Skandinavian AB (Axiom) contributed approximately $5,400 of system
and software revenues for the first nine months of 1995 compared to zero
for the same period a year ago. In addition, a general weakening of the
U.S. dollar of approximately 3% to 4%, resulted in higher reported system
and software revenues due to translation of local currency activity to U.S.
dollars for the first nine months of 1995 versus 1994.

         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. In addition, revenue levels for newly
acquired entities are difficult to predict due to such variables as
integration of engineering and sales personnel.

         Increasingly Mentor Graphics seeks to expand existing product
offerings and pursue new lines of business through acquisitions.
Acquisitions accommodate Mentor Graphics' strategic requirements including
filing gaps in existing products and technologies, eliminating dependencies
on third parties and creating avenues into new lines of business. During
the fourth quarter of 1995 Mentor Graphics announced the acquisition of
Precedence Incorporated (Precedence) and entered into a merger agreement
with Microtec which is pending approval by the shareholders of Microtec and
certain other conditions. Both transactions are expected to be accounted
for as a pooling of interests. The impact of these acquisitions are not
reflected in the accompanying financial statements since the transactions
were not consummated during the third quarter of 1995.

         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. Mentor Graphics
continues to have other third party contracts that contribute varying
levels of revenues and cost of revenues quarter to quarter. Similar to
Anacad, Exemplar and MTI, the fourth quarter 1995 Precedence acquisition
represents a business combination where a third party agreement was in
place. 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.


                                     10
<PAGE>
         Amortization of previously capitalized software development costs
to system and software cost of revenues was $1,181 and $3,653 for the third
quarter and first nine months of 1995, respectively, compared to $1,540 and
$5,027 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 nine
months 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 $1,671 and $214 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The increase in purchased
technology amortization is due primarily 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 is expected to be approximately
flat for the next several quarters.

Service and Support Revenues and Gross Margins

         Service and support revenues for the third quarter of 1995 were
$48,038, representing an increase of $8,345 or 21% from the comparable
quarter of 1994. For the first nine months of 1995, service and support
revenues totaled $137,639, representing an increase of 24% from the same
period of 1994.

         Growth in software support revenue is attributable to growth in
Mentor Graphics' installed customer base, acquisitions of Anacad and
Exemplar, and favorable effects of currency fluctuations. Mentor Graphics
continues to experience increases of installed customer base due to
improved and expanded software product offerings. In addition, a general
weakening of the U.S. dollar resulted in higher reported software support
revenues due to translation of local currency activity to U.S. dollars for
the first nine months of 1995 versus 1994. Since growth in software support
is dependent on continued success of the software product offerings,
increases in Mentor Graphics' installed customer base, and the impact of
acquisitions, future software support revenue levels are difficult to
predict.

         Professional and other service revenues for the third quarter of
1995 were approximately $12,200, an increase of 51% from the comparable
quarter of 1994. For the first nine months of 1995, professional and other
service revenues totaled approximately $37,100, 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, Mentor Graphics 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 59% and 58% for the
quarters ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively and 58% and 56%
for the first nine 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 volume.
Consistent with consulting and training business models, gross margins
generated by Mentor Graphics professional service activities have been and
are expected to continue to be lower than software support. Professional
service gross margins improved for the quarter and year to date but remain
substantially lower than software support. Future 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) expenses:

                                                         =============     ============      ============     ============
</TABLE>

         Higher gross R&D expenses are attributable to merger and
acquisition activity and accelerating depreciation of file-server equipment
used by Mentor Graphics' engineers, off-set by lower base business head
count. The acquisitions of Anacad, Exemplar and Axiom resulted in
additional R&D expenses of approximately $4,400 in the first nine months of
1995, compared to zero in the same period of 1994. Mentor Graphics
accelerated depreciation on the remaining book value of its Wilsonville
file-server environment in the third quarter of 1995 which resulted in a
one-time charge to R&D of $1,440. Through an evaluation of the file- server
environment, Mentor Graphics determined that changes in technology had
rendered the existing equipment obsolete. R&D expenses are expected to
increase as new business combinations are consummated in the fourth quarter
of 1995.

         During the third quarter and the first nine months of 1995,
marketing, general and administration (MG&A) expenses were $35,118 and
$107,755, respectively, compared to $33,124 and $106,884 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 approximately $5,800 in the
first nine months of 1995, compared to zero in the same period of 1994. In
1994, Mentor Graphics 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. MG&A expenses are
expected to increase in the fourth quarter of 1995 as new business
combinations are consummated and selling costs increase due to a seasonally
strong 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, Mentor Graphics 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, Mentor Graphics
completed the merger with Exemplar. The transaction was accounted for as a
pooling of interests. Mentor Graphics' prior year financial statements were
not restated due to relative materiality of Exemplar's separate financial
statements for 1994 and prior years. It is expected that merger related
charges associated with the acquisitions will result in a fourth quarter
charge of approximately $1,000. In addition, as a result of the Merger with
Microtec, Mentor Graphics expects to incur a merger charge totaling between
$3,000

                                     12
<PAGE>
and $4,000 in the first quarter of 1996. The costs associated with such
charges include elimination of duplicate facilities, severance costs
related to the termination of certain employees, the write-off of certain
property and equipment and legal and accounting fees associated with
administration of the merger activities.

Restructuring Costs

         Implementation of Mentor Graphics' restructuring plan which was
approved by management in December of 1993 and modified in 1994, continued
during 1995. During the second quarter of 1995, Mentor Graphics recorded a
$2,040 restructure adjustment. The adjustment was primarily associated with
the 1993 charge and was mainly the result of reduced estimates for
severance costs associated with replacement and globalization of Mentor
Graphics' information systems. Information system implementation delays
culminated when a key project plan milestone was missed during the quarter,
resulting in lower estimated costs for write-offs of old equipment due to
prolonged in-service periods. In addition, certain actions associated with
a product discontinuance plan were not taken when management determined
that the technology could be used by Mentor Graphics' consulting
organization and sold as a custom integrated service rather than as a
commercial design tool.

         Costs remaining to be incurred in executing the restructuring plan
consist primarily of direct costs associated with severance of employees,
product discontinuance activities, and facility closure activities.
Remaining severance and relocation accruals are for continued changes in
product development and field sales organizations. Senior management
changes in both organizations were finalized in the second half of 1995
which should accelerate implementation of the final stages of the
restructuring plan. In addition, costs associated with globalization of
Mentor Graphics' information systems remain accrued until the new system is
implemented in 1996.

         Approximately $6,000 of the December 1994 restructuring accrual of
$11,897 should result in cash outflows in 1995. For the first nine months
of 1995, restructure related cash outflows were approximately $3,400, in
addition to the second quarter adjustment of $2,040. For the fourth quarter
of 1995, disbursements are anticipated to be approximately $2,500. The
remaining accrual of approximately $4,000 is expected to be disbursed in
the first half of 1996.

Other Income (Expense)

         During the third quarter and the first nine months of 1995, other
income was $874 and $3,682, compared to other income of $1,214 and $2,122
for the same periods of 1994, respectively. Interest income from
investments was $1,975 and $5,983 for the third quarter and first nine
months of 1995, respectively, compared to $1,369 and $3,452 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 third quarter and
first nine months of 1995, interest expense amounted to $679 and $1,785,
respectively, up from $351 and down from $1,855 for the comparable periods
in 1994. In addition, Mentor Graphics experienced a net loss from foreign
currency transactions of $335 and $181 during the third quarter and first
nine months of 1995, respectively, compared to a net gain of $194 and $141
during the same periods a year ago.

Provision for Income Taxes

         The provision for income taxes amounted to $1,760 for the quarter
ended September 30, 1995, as compared to $900 for the same period in 1994.
For the first nine months of 1995, the provision for income taxes was
$4,790 compared to $2,800 for the same period a year ago.

                                     13
<PAGE>
         Effective January 1, 1993 Mentor Graphics 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
Mentor Graphics' 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
Mentor Graphics' Japanese subsidiary, it has been determined that it is now
more likely than not that the Japanese subsidiary's deferred tax assets
will be realized. As such, the tax provision for the third quarter and the
last nine 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 for certain tax
jurisdictions, results in a lower effective tax rate than was posted in the
first quarter of 1995. Mentor Graphics' income tax position for each year
combines the effects of available tax benefits in certain countries where
Mentor Graphics does business, benefits from available net operating loss
carrybacks, and tax expense for subsidiaries with pre-tax income. As such,
Mentor Graphics' income tax position and resultant effective tax rate is
uncertain for the remainder of 1995.

Effects of Foreign Currency Fluctuations

         Mentor Graphics experienced a net loss from foreign currency
transactions of $335 and $181 during the third quarter and first nine
months of 1995, respectively, compared to a net gain of $194 and $141
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 Mentor Graphics 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 September 30, 1995, increased to $13,568 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 third quarter of 1995, Mentor Graphics entered into a
three year forward contract to stabilize the currency effects on a portion
of Mentor Graphics' net investment in its Japanese subsidiary. The contract
to sell Yen 2.2 billion will guarantee Mentor Graphics $25,400 at the
contract's expiration. Any differences between the contracted currency rate
and the currency rate at each balance sheet date will impact the foreign
currency translation adjustment component of the stockholders' equity
section of the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The result is a partial off-set
of the effect of Japanese currency changes on stockholders' equity during
the contract term. This forward contract should not impact current or
future Consolidated Statements of Operations.

         During the period from December 31, 1994 to September 30, 1995,
the U.S. dollar weakened approximately 1% against the Japanese yen and 6%
against the European currencies. Generally, a weakening of the U.S. dollar
makes Mentor Graphics' products less expensive in foreign markets, which
has a positive impact on Mentor Graphics' 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.

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


                                     14

Fourth Quarter

         Mentor Graphics anticipates that net income per share for the
fourth quarter of 1995 will be within the average range of street estimates
of financial analysts. Mentor Graphics believes such range to be
approximately $.30-$.35 per share.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and Cash Investments

         Total cash and investments at September 30, 1995 were $185,844
compared to $137,856 at the end of 1994. Cash provided by operations was
$60,327 for the first nine months of 1995 compared to $33,852 during the
same period of 1994. Cash provided by operations was positively impacted by
net income of $31,305 for the first nine months of 1995 compared to $14,530
for the same period of 1994. In addition, strong collection efforts
decreased trade receivables by $5,838 offset by decreased accounts payable
of $3,622 due primarily to lower quarter-end purchasing activity versus
higher year end activity due to the final quarter attempt to match costs
with fiscal year budgets. Cash and short-term investments at September 30,
1995 were positively impacted by proceeds from the issuance of common stock
of $14,504, offset by repurchase of common stock of $2,250, investment in
property, plant and equipment of $14,957, and new business investments of
$3,820.

Trade Accounts Receivable

         Trade accounts receivable decreased to $76,755 at September 30,
1995 form $82,285 at year end 1994. This decrease was attributable to a
more evenly distributed shipment pattern during the first nine months of
1995 compared to the fourth quarter of 1994. As a result, a higher percent
of shipments made during the third quarter of 1995 were converted into cash
collections before the period ended.

Other Assets

         Other assets increased to $29,436 at September 30, 1995 from
$28,090 at year-end 1994. Net capitalized software development costs
increased by $1,349 as capitalization and amortization were $5,002 and
$3,653, respectively, during the first nine months of 1995. This increase
was also attributable to the purchase of Axiom for $493 and $1,990 spent on
investment in other technology companies in which Mentor Graphics owns a
minority interest. This increase in other assets was offset by amortization
of goodwill and purchased technology of $2,760.

Capital Resources

         Total capital expenditures increased to $14,957 through September
30, 1995, compared to $8,425 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. As a result of the Merger with Microtec, Mentor Graphics
expects to incur a merger charge totaling between $3,000 and $4,000. The
expected cash outflow associated with this charge is expected to occur over
the next twelve months. Mentor Graphics 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.
