In June 1996, the Company entered into an agreement whereby Silicon Valley
Research was granted the exclusive marketing rights to Bell Labs' CLOVER line of
deep submicron verification products worldwide, with the exception of Japan and
Taiwan, where the Company will co-market with Bell Labs' existing distributors.
Pursuant to the agreement, the Company agreed to make future payments to Bell
Labs as follows: $500 in fiscal 1997, $1,250 in fiscal 1998, and $1,000 in
fiscal 1999, which are guaranteed.
During the quarter ended September 30, 1996, the Company received a large
purchase order for products in which the license fees will be paid in
installments over fifteen months. Accordingly, the Company will recognize
revenue on this sale as the payments become due under the purchase order.
Note 4: Litigation
The Company is subject to certain types of litigation during its normal course
of business. In December, 1994, the Company was named as defendant in an action
brought by a competitor in the Santa Clara County Superior Court alleging unfair
competition and breach of contract. The third amended complaint, the operative
pleading, alleges unfair competition, breach of contract, breach of implied
covenant of good faith and fair dealing, unjust enrichment and fraud. The
plaintiff is seeking attorneys' fees and damages, and enforcement of the
contract. The litigation is in the discovery stage and the ultimate outcome
cannot presently be determined. Accordingly, no provision for any liability that
may result upon adjudication has been made in the consolidated financial
statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(In thousands)
This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations includes a number of forward-looking statements which reflect the
Company's current view with respect to future events and financial performance.
These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties,
including those discussed in the Other Factors section of this Item 2, elsewhere
in this Form 10-Q and as set forth in the Company's form 10-K on file with the
SEC that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results
or those anticipated. In this report, the words "anticipates," "believes,"
"expects," "intends," "future," and similar expressions identify forward-looking
statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
REVENUE
Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal year 1997, which ended September 30,
1996, decreased to $1,160 from $2,496 in the second quarter a year ago. The 54%
decrease in revenues was due to lower than anticipated sales during the quarter
ended September 30, 1996. Also contributing was the continued slowness in the
marketplace, particularly in the Japanese market. During the quarter, the
Company received a large purchase order for products in which the license fees
will be paid in installments over fifteen months. Accordingly, the Company will
recognize revenue on this sale as the payments become due under the purchase
order. Revenue for the six month period ended September 30, 1996, decreased to
$4,271 from $5,139 over the six month period ended September 30, 1995. This 17%
decrease is the result of the lower than anticipated revenues in the quarter
ended September 30, 1996 and the large deferred order partially offset by
increased sales in the prior quarter. International sales, primarily Japan and
the Far East accounted for 29% of total revenue in the second quarter of fiscal
1997 compared to 49% in the second quarter a year ago.
The Company's expense levels are based, in part, on its expectations as to
future revenue levels, which are difficult to predict. A substantial portion of
the Company's revenues in each quarter results from shipments during the last
month of that quarter, and for that reason among others, the Company's revenues
are subject to significant quarterly fluctuations. If revenue levels are below
expectations, as in the quarter ended September 30, 1996, operating results may
be materially and adversely affected. In addition, the Company's quarterly and
annual results may fluctuate as a result of many factors, including the size and
timing of software license fees, timing of co-development projects with
customers, timing of operating expenditures, increased competition, new product
announcements and releases by the Company and its competitors, gain or loss of
significant customers or distributors, expense levels, renewal of maintenance
contracts, pricing changes by the Company or its competitors, personnel changes,
foreign currency exchange rates, and economic conditions generally and in the
electronics industry specifically.
COST OF REVENUE
Cost of license fees and other for the second quarter of fiscal year 1997 was
$215, compared to $88 in the second quarter of fiscal 1996. Cost of sales of
license fees for the six months ended September 30, 1996 was $334, compared to
$154 in the six months ended September 30, 1995. Cost of sales of license fees
is primarily the amortization of software development costs and royalty payments
due to third parties and both increased for the quarter and six months ended
September 30, 1996.
Cost of maintenance fees for the second quarter of fiscal year 1997 was $137
compared to $98 in the second quarter of fiscal 1996. Cost of maintenance fees
for the six months ended September 30, 1996 was $236 compared to $222 for the
six months ended September 30, 1995. Cost of maintenance fees is primarily the
cost of providing technical support and technical documentation.
ENGINEERING, RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES
Engineering, research and development expenses for the second quarter of fiscal
year 1997 were $844 compared to $820 in the second quarter a year ago. Comparing
the second quarter of fiscal 1997 and the second quarter of fiscal 1996,
engineering, research and development expenses were 73% and 33% of total
revenue, respectively. The slight dollar increase in engineering, research and
development expenses during this period is due to depreciation of improved
capital equipment and software acquisitions partially offset by
Page 7 of 13
<PAGE>
capitalized software development costs and reduced costs in Taiwan with lower
salary and expense rates. The percentage increase was primarily due to lower
than anticipated revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 1997.
Engineering, research and development expenses for the six months ended
September 30, 1996, were $1,512 compared to $1,634 for the six months ended
September 30, 1995. Comparing these periods, engineering, research and
development expenses were 35% and 32% of total revenue, respectively. The
decrease in absolute dollars is due to lower costs in the first quarter of
fiscal 1997 with increased capitalized software development costs and a
temporary reduction in headcount in the United States with increases in Taiwan
at lower salary and expense rates. The percentage increase was primarily due to
lower than anticipated revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 1997. The
Company continues to strengthen its engineering capabilities with increased
staffing and increased emphasis on development of new technology.
SELLING & MARKETING EXPENSES
Selling and marketing expenses for the second quarter of fiscal year 1997
increased to $1,781 from $1,224 in the second quarter a year ago. In the second
quarter of fiscal 1997 and the second quarter of fiscal 1996, selling and
marketing expenses were 154% and 49% of total revenue, respectively. Selling and
marketing expenses for the six months ended September 30, 1996, increased to
$3,349 from $2,584 in the six months ended September 30, 1995. Comparing the six
month periods, selling and marketing expenses were 78% and 50% of total revenue,
respectively. The dollar increases are due to the addition of sales and
marketing personnel and an increase in the reserve for bad debt. The percentage
increases were primarily due to lower than anticipated revenues, however, the
Company expects that selling and marketing expenses will continue to increase if
revenue increases.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
General and administrative expenses increased to $695 for the second quarter of
fiscal year 1997, from $194 in the second quarter a year ago. In the second
quarter of fiscal 1997 and the second quarter of fiscal 1996, selling, general
and administrative expenses were 60%, and 8% of total revenue, respectively.
General and administrative expenses for the six months ended September 30, 1996,
increased to $1,103 from $384 in the six months ended September 30, 1995.
Comparing the six month periods, general and administrative expenses were 26%
and 7% of total revenue, respectively. The absolute dollar increase is
attributed to increases to the senior management team, relocation expenses,
consulting expenses and legal expenses and the percentage increase is primarily
due to reduced revenues. The Company expects that general and administrative
expenses will decline in future quarters due to lower head count and cost
controls.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)
Other income (expense) increased to $80 from $(9) comparing the second quarter
of fiscal year 1997 to the second quarter of fiscal 1996. Other income (expense)
increased to $185 from $(28) comparing the six months ended September 30, 1996
with the six months ended September 30, 1995. Other expenses are primarily
interest income and expense and the increases are due to investing the proceeds
received in the secondary offering.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the six months ended September 30, 1996, cash and cash equivalents
decreased $4,165 from $10,238 to $6,073. This decrease resulted primarily from
cash used by operating activities of $1,988 and $2,385 of cash used for
investing activities. The Company's primary unused sources of funds at September
30, 1996, consisted of cash and cash equivalents of approximately $6,073 and a
bank line of credit of $2,000. The Company believes its cash and cash generated
from operations and available borrowings will be sufficient to finance its
operations for at least the next twelve months. The Company's cash requirements
in the future may also be financed through additional equity or debt financings.
There can be no assurance that such financing can be obtained at favorable
terms, if at all. The Company's open commitments for the purchase of capital
assets as of September 30, 1996 were approximately $100.
The Company is currently engaged in litigation with Mentor Graphics. Regardless
of the outcome of this pending litigation, the litigation may result in
substantial cost and expenses to the Company and significant diversion of
efforts by the Company's technical and management personnel. In addition, an
adverse ruling in the litigation could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, operating results or financial condition.

OTHER FACTORS AFFECTING FUTURE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues from sales of the SVR GARDS family of products have historically
represented a substantial majority of the Company's revenues. Although the
Company has recently introduced its SVR FloorPlacer and SVR SonIC products, the
Company expects that revenues from the sale of SVR GARDS products will continue
to account for a significant portion of the Company's revenues for the
foreseeable future. The life cycles of the Company's products are difficult to
predict due to the effect of new product introductions or product enhancements
by the Company or its competitors, market acceptance of new and enhanced
versions of the Company's products and competition in the Company's marketplace.
Declines in the demand for the SVR GARDS family of products, whether as a result
of competition, technological change, price reductions or otherwise, could have
a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and
financial condition.
The EDA industry is characterized by extremely rapid technological change,
frequent new product introductions and enhancements, evolving industry standards
and rapidly changing customer requirements. The development of more complex ICs
embodying new technologies will require increasingly sophisticated design tools.
The Company's future results of operations will depend, in part, upon its
ability to enhance its current products and to develop and introduce new
products on a timely and cost-effective basis that will keep pace with
technological developments and evolving industry standards and methodologies, as
well as address the increasingly sophisticated needs of the Company's customers.
The Company has in the past and may in the future experience delays in new
product development and product enhancements. The Company began commercial
shipments of its new SVR FloorPlacer software products in the quarter ended
March 31, 1995, and of its new SVR SonIC software products in the quarter ended
June 30, 1995. There can be no assurance that these new products will gain
market acceptance or that the Company will be successful in developing and
marketing product enhancements or other new products that respond to
technological change, evolving industry standards and changing customer
requirements, that the Company will not experience difficulties that could delay
or prevent the successful development, introduction and marketing of these
products or product enhancements, or that its new products and product
enhancements will adequately meet the requirements of the marketplace and
achieve any significant degree of market acceptance. In addition, all of the
Company's current products operate in, and planned future products will operate
in, the Unix operating system. In the event that another operating system, such
as Windows NT, were to achieve broad acceptance in the EDA industry, the Company
would be required to port its products to such an operating system, which would
be costly and time consuming and could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, operating results or financial condition. Failure of the
Company, for technological or other reasons, to develop and introduce new
products and product enhancements in a timely and cost-effective manner would
have a material and adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results
and financial condition. In addition, the introduction or even announcement of
products by the Company or one or more of its competitors embodying new
technologies or changes in industry standards or customer requirements could
render the Company's existing products obsolete or unmarketable. Such deferment
of purchases could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
operating results or financial condition.
Software products as complex as those offered by the Company may contain defects
or failures when introduced or when new versions are released. The Company has,
in the past, discovered software defects in certain of its products and may
experience delays or lost revenue to correct such defects in the future.
Although the Company has not experienced material adverse effects resulting from
any such defects to date, there can be no assurance that, despite testing by the
Company, errors will not be found in new products or releases after commencement
of commercial shipments, resulting in loss of market share or failure to achieve
market acceptance. Any such occurrence could have a material effect upon the
Company's business, operating results or financial condition.
A small number of customers account for a significant percentage of the
Company's total revenue. There can be no assurance that sales to these entities,
individually or as a group, will reach or exceed historical levels in any future
period. Any substantial decrease in sales to one or more of these customers
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating
results or financial condition. The Company currently sells and markets its
products overseas, other than in Japan, through a limited number of
distributors. The Company hired new distributors in Taiwan, Korea, Europe and
Singapore within the last year. The Company has little history of performance by
its new distributors. In addition, there can be no assurance that the
distributors will be able to successfully distribute and support the Company's
products on a timely basis or that such distributors will not reduce their
efforts devoted to selling the Company's products or terminate their
Page 9 of 13
<PAGE>
relationship with the Company as a result of competition with other suppliers'
products. The loss of or changes in the relationship with or performance by one
or more of the Company's international distributors could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial
condition. There can also be no assurance that the Company's distributor
strategy will be successful or that the Company will be able to retain current
distributors or to identify new distributors in the future that are acceptable
to the Company.
The licensing and sales of the Company's software products generally involves a
significant commitment of capital by prospective customers, with the attendant
delays frequently associated with large capital expenditures and lengthy
acceptance procedures. For these and other reasons, the sales cycle associated
with the licensing of the Company's products is typically lengthy and subject to
a number of significant risks over which the Company has little or no control.
Because the timing of customer orders is hard to predict, the Company believes
that its quarterly operating results are likely to vary significantly in the
future. Actual results of the Company could vary materially as a result of
factors, including, without limitation, the high average selling price and long
sales cycle for the Company's products, the relatively small number of orders
per quarter, dependence on sales to a limited number of large customers, timing
of receipt of orders, successful product introduction and acceptance of the
Company's products and increased competition.
The Company is dependent upon the semiconductor and more generally, the
electronics industries. Each of these industries is characterized by rapid
technological change, short product life cycles, fluctuations in manufacturing
capacity and pricing and gross margin pressures. Each of these industries is
highly cyclical and has periodically experienced significant downturns, often in
connection with, or in anticipation of declines in general economic conditions
during which the number of new IC design projects often decreases. Purchases of
new licenses from the Company are largely dependent upon the commencement of new
design projects, and factors negatively affecting any of these industries could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results or
financial condition. The Company has experienced some order delays as the
semiconductor industry is experiencing a slowdown. The Company's business,
operating results and financial condition may, in the future, reflect
substantial fluctuations from period to period as a consequence of patterns and
general economic conditions in either the semiconductor or electronics industry.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
