ITEM 1.   BUSINESS

GENERAL

IKOS Systems, Inc. ("IKOS" or the "Company") designs, develops,
manufactures, markets and supports high-performance hardware-assisted systems
for simulation of integrated circuits (ICs) and IC-based electronic systems. The
Company's strategy is to serve the needs of a growing universe of IC designers
for fast, accurate simulation of complex IC designs through its family of
hardware and software simulation systems. Headquartered in Cupertino,
California, IKOS supports a direct sales operation in North America, France, and
Germany, and a distributor network covering the remainder of Europe and in Asia.
IKOS is publicly traded on the Nasdaq National Market (NASDAQ) under the symbol
IKOS.

IKOS specializes in the Electronic Design Automation (EDA) market.  The
Company's products are used by designers of electronic systems to determine
whether a system design functions properly  prior to  incurring the cost and
time to build the actual system, thereby producing a more efficient design
process.  This is a critical step in the design process because the manufacture
of electronic systems which contain large amounts of ASICs or full custom
circuits is expensive and time consuming.  Logic simulation of system
components, or entire systems, is much more cost effective than finding design
problems after manufacturing a prototype system. The Company sells its products
to a broad range of customers in the communications, semiconductor,
multimedia/graphics, computer, aerospace and consumer electronics industries,
such as S3, Cirrus Logic, Advanced Micro Devices, SGS-Thomson Microelectronics,
Texas Instruments, AT&T and Fuji-Xerox.

BACKGROUND

There has been substantial growth in the market for high performance, complex
ICs for communications, multimedia, graphics, computing and other application
products. These application products have been enabled, in significant part, by
improvements in silicon process technology which have made possible the design
and manufacture of increasingly complex, high performance ICs. Semiconductor
manufacturers have integrated an increasing number of functions onto a single
IC, causing the complexity of these semiconductor devices to increase
exponentially over the last 15 years. Designers currently are creating ICs
consisting of, in some cases, millions of gates implemented in deep submicron,
or less than 0.6 micron, geometries.

The EDA industry has provided technology and design automation tools which have
been essential to the advances that have occurred within the electronics
industry over the last 20 years. EDA was first used to help manage design
complexity in the 1970's with computer-aided design tools for automating the
design of the physical layout of ICs and printed circuit boards. In the early
1980's, computer-aided engineering ("CAE") was introduced to further manage
the complexity of logic design. In the late 1980's, the development of high
level design automation ("HLDA") tools enabled design creation that was faster
and at higher levels of abstraction than previous CAE tools. Hardware
description languages such as IEEE standard "VHDL" or VHSIC Hardware Description
Language (VHSIC stands

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
for Very High Speed Integrated Circuit) and Verilog were used to create complex
designs expressed in English.  These languages, which act in a manner similar to
high level software languages such as C++, Cobol and Fortran, allow the
expression of design ideas and functionality at a level that is independent of
the silicon implementation. Logic synthesis is then used to convert the
language-based design to the detailed gate level description required for
physical layout tools that generate manufacturing information. However, while
EDA design tools have brought greater efficiency and productivity to the IC
design process, advances in EDA simulation technology have not kept pace with
the requirements for simulating more complex IC designs.

Simulation is the process of utilizing computer models of circuit logic and test
programs to evaluate the functionality and performance of the designed
electronic circuits before committing to prototyping the actual design. The
individual components of an IC may be represented at different levels of
abstraction. For example, an IC can be described at different levels of detail
or hierarchy, ranging from transistors to gates (typically groups of four
transistors) to functional or behavioral blocks, which can be comprised of a
large number of gates. The traditional approach to simulation, before the advent
of language-based design, was at the gate level. Language-based or functional
simulation creates an opportunity to simulate designs earlier in the design
cycle, or at the functional or behavioral block level, before the gate level
structure of a design is known. Software simulators operating on general purpose
workstations are customarily used to verify the high level specifications and
detect design inconsistencies

With the advancing complexity of IC designs, simulation of such IC designs has
become increasingly difficult to accomplish because increased functional
complexity demands more thorough verification, increased gate count demands more
simulation capacity and increased gate density demands more timing accuracy. The
Company believes that the need for accurate and timely simulation and
verification of complex IC designs cannot be satisfied by existing software
simulators operating on general purpose workstations. Due to lack of simulation
capacity, software simulation of complex IC designs at the lower, or gate, level
of abstraction can take multiple hours or days to be completed. Software
simulators can verify more complex designs by simulating at higher, or the
behavioral, level of abstraction but without the ability to accurately model
timing information required for the interconnection of gates and transistors of
the IC. The Company believes that this high level simulation is not sufficiently
comprehensive because timing problems inherent in complex ICs have not been
effectively addressed at the behavioral level.

COMPANY SOLUTIONS

The Company believes that rapid and comprehensive simulation of complex ICs
(defined as designs with 100,000 or more gates) can best be achieved by
simulation systems incorporating dedicated hardware and software.  The
combination of these technologies enable the iterative, mixed-level simulation
demanded by the complex IC designs.  Simulation most efficiently begins at the
behavioral level so that architectural problems can be found before the time and
effort is expended to implement the gate level design. Simulation must then be
performed at the gate level to address timing problems. Using an IKOS system, a
designer may iteratively simulate at the behavioral level and the gate level
under a consistent framework and intuitive user interface to ensure that the
design is correct. In addition, IKOS products provide for mixed-level simulation
or the ability to perform behavioral level simulation in tandem with gate level
simulation. Mixed-level simulation allows an IC designer to extract newly
developed gate level details from the behavioral level design and simultaneously
simulate at both levels of abstraction, thereby reducing the time to simulate
and verify a complex IC design.

IKOS designs and markets systems which include software and hardware based
simulation algorithms. The hardware algorithm is implemented in a proprietary
processor used to form a massively parallel simulation engine. The IKOS
simulation systems reduce the time-consuming process of simulation of an IC
design, thereby potentially improving time-to-market of the final product and
the productivity of the IC designer. The software components of the IKOS
simulation systems run on Sun Microsystems, Inc. and Hewlett-Packard Company
workstations.

MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT

The Company provides hardware and software maintenance and support on a
contractual basis after the initial product warranty has expired.  Annual
maintenance revenues approximate 12% of the purchase price.  Hardware
maintenance is provided on an on-site or on a return and repair basis.  The
Company also provides application support via a toll-free telephone line.
Customers with software maintenance coverage also receive software releases, if
any, from the Company.  Foreign distributors generally provide customer
training, service and support for the products they sell.  For the three years
ended September 30, 1995, maintenance revenues, as a percent of total revenues,
represented 17% in 1995, 17% in 1994 and 22% in 1993.  The decrease in
percentage of maintenance from 1993 to 1994 was a result of the shift in the
customer base to the new series of products.  Maintenance as a percentage of
total revenues for fiscal years 1995 and 1994 were similar as the rate of growth
for both product revenues and maintenance revenues were comparable.

COMPETITION

     The EDA industry is highly competitive and rapidly changing. The Company's
products are specifically targeted at the emerging portion of the industry
relating to complex designs that the Company believes benefit from hardware-
assisted simulation. To date, substantially all of the Company's revenue has
resulted from sales to this segment of the market. The Company currently
experiences competition from hardware-assisted simulation-based systems sold by
Zycad and traditional software verification methodologies from vendors, such as
Mentor Graphics, Cadence, Viewlogic and Synopsis. As a result of the lack of
general familiarity by potential users of hardware-assisted simulation systems,
the Company must educate potential customers with respect to the benefits of
hardware-assisted simulation in order for such customers to consider the
Company's systems for use within their EDA design process. The Company expects
competition in the market for verification tools at all levels of simulation to
increase as other companies attempt to introduce new products and product
enhancements. Moreover, the Company competes, and expects that it will continue
to compete, with established EDA companies. A number of these companies have
longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical and
marketing resources, greater name recognition and larger installed customer
bases than the Company. In addition, many of these competitors and potential
competitors have established relationships with current and potential customers
of the Company and offer a broader and more comprehensive product line.
Increased competition could result in price reductions, reduced margins and loss
of market share, all of which could materially adversely affect the Company. In
addition, current competitors or other entities may develop other products that
have significant advantages over the Company's products. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully against current
and future competitors or that competitive pressures faced by the Company will
not materially adversely affect its operating results.

                                       4

     The Company competes on the basis of certain factors, including product
performance, price, support of industry standards, technical support and
customer service, timely introduction of new products, ease of use and
reputation. The Company believes that it currently competes favorably overall
with respect to these factors, particularly, product performance including the
ability of customers to reduce design time or iterations, and technical support
and customer service.

CUSTOMERS, MARKETING AND SALES

IKOS sells its products to a broad range of companies including those in the
communications, semiconductor, multimedia/graphics, computer, aerospace and
consumer electronics industries. The Company markets its products and services
primarily through its direct sales and service organization. The Company employs
a technically-oriented sales force and application engineering team to serve the
needs of existing and prospective customers. IKOS' direct sales strategy
concentrates on those companies that it believes are key users and designers of
ICs and IC-based systems for high-performance applications. For the fiscal year
ended September 30, 1995, one distributor, Itochu & Co., Ltd. (Itochu) in Japan
accounted for approximately 15% of net revenues. In fiscal 1994, one customer,
Motorola, Inc., and one distributor, Itochu, accounted for approximately 18% and
10% of net revenues, respectively. In fiscal 1993, no customer accounted for
more than 10% of net revenues.

Direct Sales.  IKOS currently maintains direct sales and support offices in the
following states: Arizona, California, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey and
Texas.  IKOS makes direct sales internationally in Canada, in Japan through its
wholly-owned subsidiary and in central Europe through its wholly-owned
subsidiary, ICOS Systems GmbH, and through its sales offices in France and
England.  Direct sales, including sales in Canada and maintenance fees,
accounted for 79% of the Company's net revenues in fiscal 1995.

Distributors.  IKOS believes that international markets are an important source
of the Company's revenues.  Accordingly, the Company has developed distributor
relationships in ten foreign countries in Europe and Asia.  Sales to a variety
of customers in Japan, through the Company's exclusive Japanese distributor,
Itochu & Co., Ltd., constituted approximately 15% of total sales for fiscal
1995.

International Sales. International sales, excluding Canada accounted for
approximately 37%, 26% and 20% of the Company's net revenues in fiscal 1995,
1994 and 1993, respectively. Sales to a variety of customers in Japan, through
the Company's exclusive Japanese distributor, Itochu & Co., Ltd., constituted
approximately 15% of total sales for fiscal 1995. The Company's current
agreement with Itochu provides for discounts to Itochu that are similar to those
offered by the Company to its other foreign distributors. Sales in all foreign
countries are denominated in U.S. dollars. Although the Company has attempted to
reduce the risk of fluctuations in exchange rates associated with international
revenues by selling its systems for United States currency only, the Company
pays the expenses of its international operations in local currencies and does
not engage in hedging transactions with respect to such obligations. Currency
exchange fluctuations in countries in which the Company sells its systems could
have a material adverse effect on the Company by resulting in pricing that is
not competitive with prices denominated in local currencies.

                                       5

Conducting business in international markets requires compliance with applicable
laws and regulations, such as safety and telecommunication laws and regulations
of foreign jurisdictions and import duties and quotas.  To date, the Company has
not experienced any difficulty in obtaining export licenses from the U.S.
Department of Commerce for foreign sales; however, there can be no assurance
that the Company will not experience difficulties in the future.

MANUFACTURING AND SUPPLIERS

The Company performs final assembly and test of all its products in its
Cupertino, California facility. The Company utilizes third parties for all major
subassembly manufacturing, including printed circuit boards and custom ICs. The
Company has a testing and qualification program to ensure that all subassemblies
meet the Company's specifications before going into final assembly and test.

The capacity and speed of IKOS' hardware results from its basic design and
architecture, rather than from custom components or components that are required
to perform near technological limits.  Therefore, IKOS is able to assemble the
hardware from components that are based on standard technologies.  Certain of
these components, including gate arrays and power supplies, are each available
only from a single source.  The Company believes that it could obtain
alternative sources in a short period of time, although the interruption in the
Company's supply of such components could have a material adverse effect on its
business in the short term.  The Company endeavors to maintain an ample supply
of such components at all times through order generation based on tracking of
sales projections, production and inventories, and by ordering critical
components for delivery over an extended period.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

The Company's ongoing product development activities include the enhancement of
current products, such as the ability to simulate and verify the design of
higher gate count ICs and to offer a greater degree of integration with EDA
tools.  Furthermore these product development activities include the development
of new product options and features, such as new library tools and the research
and development of new technologies for use in future products.

The Company's research and product development organization included 31
engineers at September 30, 1995 of whom 25 were engaged principally in software
development. During fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company spent approximately
$4.0 million, $3.9 million and $7.9 million, respectively, on research and
development. Included in the 1993 amount is approximately $3.6 million of
expenses related to the amended joint development agreement with Racal-Redac and
about $600,000 of non-recurring engineering expenses related to the fabrication
of prototype ASICs developed for the Company's Nsim simulator.  The Company's
research and development costs, including costs of software development before
technological feasibility, are expensed as incurred.

PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS

Due to the rapid pace of technological advancement, the Company believes it is
less dependent on the protection of proprietary product information than on its
ability to develop and market new products.  The Company protects its
proprietary product information through the use of employee nondisclosure
agreements and by limiting access to confidential information.  The Company
presently has three United States patents, two of which expire on November 22,
2005, and the third expiring on June 30, 2009, that cover various aspects and
features of its products, including its overall system architecture and certain
features in the hardware.  Although the Company may file additional patent
applications in the future, it does not expect to rely extensively on patents to
protect its products.

The Company also relies on certain software which it licenses from third
parties, including software which is integrated with internally developed
software and used in the Company's systems to perform key functions.

The Company's tradename, "IKOS," its facing parrots logo and its product series
named "Voyager" are registered trademarks of the Company.

EMPLOYEES

As of September 30, 1995 the Company employed a total of 130 persons, consisting
of 77 in marketing, sales and support, 9 in manufacturing, 31 in research,
development and engineering, and 13 in finance, administration and other
capacities. The Company has never had a work stoppage. None of its employees is
represented by a labor organization, and the Company considers its relations
with its employees to be good.


ITEM 2.   PROPERTIES

The Company's principal executive offices, as well as its principal
manufacturing, marketing, research and development, and engineering facility,
are located in approximately 57,000 square feet of leased office building space
in Cupertino, California. The lease on this facility expires September 2000,
with options to extend the lease for up to nine years. The Company subleases
9,000 square feet of its leased office building space in Cupertino, California.
In addition, the Company leases sales office space domestically in Arizona,
California, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey and Texas and internationally
in England, France, Germany and Japan. The Company believes that its existing
facilities are adequate for its current needs and that additional space will be
available as needed.

ITEM 7.   MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
          OF OPERATIONS

NET REVENUES

Net revenues increased 32% to $28,600,000 for the fiscal year ended September
30, 1995 as compared to $21,636,000 for fiscal 1994. The primary reason for the
increase was continued growth in sales of  Voyager systems and the introduction
of  new Gemini systems in the fourth quarter. These product lines contributed
the vast majority of product net revenues for the year.  Maintenance revenue was
$4,887,000 and $3,750,000 for the fiscal years 1995 and 1994, respectively,
representing 17% and 17% of net revenues.   The increase in maintenance revenue
is a result of the continued acceptance of the new products by the growing
customer base. International revenues increased by 89% and domestic revenues
increased by 12% over this same period.

Net revenues for fiscal 1994 were $21,636,000 as compared to net revenues in
fiscal 1993 of $16,528,000. This 31% increase was the result of the broader
acceptance of the Voyager systems, partially offset by a decrease in revenues
from aging products.

International sales (export sales and sales shipped by the Company's European
operation) were $10,560,000, $5,583,000 and $3,330,000 for the fiscal years
1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.   These sales represents 37%, 26%  and 20% of
net revenues. The increases in international sales is a result of the increased
customer acceptance of the new product offerings, increased economic demand,
particularly in Europe, increased focus on the international market and
increased presence in the Far East marketplace as the Company opened its
subsidiary in Japan during fiscal 1995.  It is expected that international
revenues should increase as a percentage of revenues in fiscal 1996.

The Company believes that revenues may increase in fiscal 1996, as the Company
continues to upgrade and add to its current product offerings.  The Company also
anticipates continued growth in maintenance revenues.  The Company first
released its Voyager Series product, the VHDL software simulator (VS) in 1992
and has since released its mixed level simulator, its next generation hardware
accelerator and its software gate level simulator.  The Company entered the
Verilog market with its Gemini product during 1995 and has recently released its
Voyager fault simulator (Voyager FS).  Although the Company believes its product
offering has been accepted very favorably, there can be no assurances that there
will not be any new products offerings by competitors or changes in the
marketplace that could adversely affect the Company's sales and profits.


GROSS PROFITS

Gross profit was $21,461,000, $15,706,000 and $10,197,000 or 75%,  73% and 62%
of total net revenues for fiscal years 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The
increases in gross margin were  primarily the result of a change in product mix
to a greater percentage of the newer product offerings which have higher
margins.  The Voyager products and the new Gemini products have a much higher
content of software which contributes to the higher margins. In addition to
the product mix but to a lesser extent, the absorption of fixed manufacturing
costs over a broader

                                      10
<PAGE>
 
revenue base also contributed to higher overall margins.  The Company believes
margins may improve slightly in fiscal 1996 as the Company believes it will
continue to recognize increased manufacturing efficiencies and continued  sales
of products with higher margins.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES

Research and development expenses were $3,999,000, $3,861,000 and $7,896,000 for
fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.  As a percent of net revenues,
research and development expenses were 14%, 18% and 48% for fiscal 1994, 1993
and 1992, respectively, as the Company had completed a build-up in staffing and
expenses to effect its major product development program that began in fiscal
1991. Research and development expenses in fiscal 1993 were substantially higher
than both fiscal 1994 and 1995 because of a $3.6 million charge to research and
development resulting from in process research and development acquired under
the amended joint development agreement with Racal. In addition, the Company
incurred a non-recurring engineering expense of approximately $600,000 in
connection with the development of its Nsim simulator.  Research and development
expenses are expected to increase both in absolute dollars and as a percentage
of revenues as the Company pursues product enhancement, new product development
and technology development programs.

SALES AND MARKETING EXPENSES

Sales and marketing expenses were $11,763,000, $9,447,000 and $9,303,000 in
fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993 or 41%, 44% and 56% of net revenues, respectively.
The primary cause of the increase in absolute dollars has been an increase in
the amount of presale support and benchmarking performed by field application
engineers and increased commission expenses. Spending has increased in the
foreign sales offices to support the increased activity in both Europe and Asia.
Sales and marketing expenses are expected to increase in absolute dollars in
fiscal 1996 but decrease as a percentage of revenues.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

General and administrative expenses were $2,301,000, $1,596,000 and 1,873,000
for fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, or 8%, 7% and 11% of net revenues, respectively.
This increase in 1995 was primarily due to additional headcount, as the Company
filled the President and Chief Operating Officer positions which were vacant in
fiscal 1994. This vacancy is the primary reason for the decrease in expenses
from fiscal 1993 to fiscal 1994.  General and administrative expenses are
expected to increase in absolute dollars in fiscal 1996 but decrease slightly as
a percentage of revenues.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)

Net interest income in fiscal 1995 of $52,000 was the result of interest income
of $159,000 being earned on an increasing cash, cash equivalent and short-term
investments during the year, net of interest paid on long-term debt borrowings
of $107,000.  Net interest expense in fiscal 1994 was the result of $75,000 of
interest expense on the long-term debt.  Net interest income of $130,000 for
fiscal 1993 represents interest income earned on cash, cash equivalents and
short-term investments with no related interest expense.  Other income in fiscal
1995, 1994 and 1993 was $117,000, $140,000 and $48,000, respectively and
primarily relates to rental income from

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
property that the Company began leasing in 1993.  Interest income is expected to
increase in both absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenues, as the cash,
cash equivalents and short-term investment balances are expected to grow with a
decreasing offset of interest expense as the long-term debt is repaid.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The Company's tax provision for fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993 consists primarily of
federal alternative minimum tax, state taxes and foreign withholding taxes. As
of September 30, 1995, the Company had federal and state net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $10,000,000 and $400,000 respectively. The
Company also had federal and California research and development tax credit
carryforwards of approximately $1.0 million and $300,000 respectively. The net
operating loss and credit carryforwards will expire at various dates beginning
in 1997 through 2009, if not utilized.

Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (FAS 109), deferred
tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial
reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the
enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are
expected to reverse.  The Company has provided a full valuation allowance
against its net deferred tax assets due to uncertainties surrounding their
realization, primarily due to the Company having cumulative losses in the last
three years, which causes predictability of earnings in the early future years
to be uncertain.

EXTRAORDINARY CREDIT - FORGIVENESS OF DEBT

In April 1994, the Company and Racal re-negotiated the terms of the July 1, 1993
agreement regarding the transfer, joint development and joint ownership in
certain Racal technology. The new terms reduce overall payments to Racal from
IKOS by $750,000 and extend the scheduled payments into fiscal 1998. This
resulted in an extraordinary credit of $664,000 after being offset by certain
related expenses.

OTHER

The Company has experienced virtually no gains or losses on foreign currency
translation since substantially all of its international sales to date have been
billed and collected in U.S. dollars. The Company pays the expenses of its
international operations in local currencies and does not engage in hedging
transactions with respect to such obligations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Since inception, the Company has financed its operations, including increases in
accounts receivable and inventory and capital equipment acquisitions, primarily
through private and public sales of equity securities and a loan secured by
capital equipment. During fiscal 1995 the Company's cash, cash equivalents and
short-term investments increased to $7,755,000 from $3,982,000 in fiscal 1994.
The increase was a result of $4,502,000 cash provided by operating activities
and $324,000 provided by financing activities offset by $943,000 for investment
activities.

                                       12

Operating Activities - The Company's operating activities provided cash of
$4,502,000 during fiscal 1995, $1,398,000 in fiscal 1994 and used cash of
$686,000 in fiscal 1993. For fiscal 1995 and 1994, net cash provided by
operating activities resulted primarily from net income adjusted for
depreciation and amortization, which was partially offset by increases in
accounts receivable, inventories and accounts payable associated with increases
in revenue activity. In fiscal 1993, the net cash used in operating activities
was primarily the result of net losses.

Investing Activities - Other than the purchase and sale of short-term
investments, investment activities were comprised primarily of capital
expenditures of $1,053,000, $959,000, $1,037,000 for fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. Capital expenditures were primarily for evaluation equipment,
engineering workstations and the Company's own hardware simulators which were
used for research and development and benchmarking purposes.

The Company capitalized no software costs in fiscal 1995 and 1994, as such
capitalizable costs were insignificant and thus charged to research and
development expenses for the respective periods.  The Company capitalized
software costs of  $513,000 in fiscal 1993 for the development of the VHDL
simulator and other Voyager series products.

Financing Activities - During fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company received
cash of $1,078,000, $68,000 and $50,000, respectively, upon the exercise of
options to purchase Common Stock. During these same periods, the Company's
principal payments on long-term borrowings were $754,000, $683,000 and $335,000,
respectively.

The Company's primary unused sources of funds at September 30, 1995 consisted of
$7,305,000 of cash and cash equivalents, in addition to $450,000 of short-term
investments.   In October 1995, the Company sold 1,150,000 shares of common
stock in a public offering resulting in net proceeds to the Company of
approximately $10,500,000.

The Company expects to make capital expenditures throughout fiscal 1996. The
Company expects that capital expenditures to increase as compared to capital
expenditures incurred in fiscal 1995.  The Company believes that net proceeds
from the recently completed public offering, together with cash and cash
generated from operations, will be sufficient to finance its operations through
at least the end of fiscal 1996. To the extent necessary, the Company may also
use bank borrowings and capital leases depending on the terms available. The
Company's cash requirements in the future may also be financed through
additional equity or debt financing. There can be no assurance that such
financing can be obtained on favorable terms, if at all.

               REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS



Board of Directors and Stockholders
IKOS Systems, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of IKOS Systems,
Inc. as of  September 30, 1995 and October 1, 1994 and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended September 30, 1995.  These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these 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 consolidated financial position of IKOS
Systems, Inc. at  September 30, 1995 and October 1, 1994, and the consolidated
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended September 30, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.  Also in our opinion, the related financial statement
schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as
a whole, present fairly in all material respects the information set forth
therein.

1.   Nature of operations and summary of significant accounting policies
     -------------------------------------------------------------------

     Basis of presentation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements
     ---------------------                                                    
     include the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries after elimination of
     all significant inter-company accounts and transactions.

     On October 20, 1994, the Board of Directors approved a one-for-two reverse
     stock split of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. The
     reverse stock split was effected on April 24, 1995 and has been presented
     retroactively within these financial statements.
   
     Fiscal year: The Company is on a 52-53 week year. Accordingly, September 
     -----------   
     30, 1995, October 1, 1994 and October 2, 1993 are the fiscal year-ends for
     1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Fiscal year ended October 2, 1993 was a
     53-week fiscal year.
   
     Cash equivalents and short-term investments: All liquid investments with
     -------------------------------------------                             
     original maturities of three months or less when purchased are considered
     to be cash equivalents. Short-term investments are stated at cost, which
     approximates market, and consist primarily of U.S. treasury securities,
     commercial paper and other corporate obligations. The Company is exposed to
     credit risks in the event of default by the financial institutions or
     issuers of investments to the extent of amounts recorded on the balance
     sheet.
   
     In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of
     Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 (FAS 115), "Accounting for Certain
     Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," effective for fiscal years
     beginning after December 15, 1993. Under the rules, debt securities that
     the Company has both positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are
     carried at amortized cost. Debt securities that the Company does not have
     the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity and all marketable
     equity securities are classified as available-for-sale or trading and
     carried at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses on securities
     classified as available-for-sale are reported as part of equity while
     unrealized holding gains and losses on securities classified as trading are
     reported in earnings.
   
     The Company adopted FAS 115 on October 2, 1994 and all debt securities are
     classified as held-to-maturity. The adoption of FAS 115 had no material
     impact on the Company's financial position or its operating results during
     fiscal 1995. The fair values for marketable debt and equity securities are
     based on quoted market prices. The fair value of marketable securities is
     substantially equal to their carrying value as of September 30, 1995.
   
     At September 30, 1995, all held-to-maturity securities were U.S. corporate
     debt securities.

     Equipment and leasehold improvements: Equipment and leasehold improvements
     ------------------------------------                                      
     are stated at cost and are depreciated or amortized using the straight-line
     method over the estimated useful life (generally two to five years) of the
     related asset, or in the case of leasehold improvements, the term of the
     lease.
   
     Software development costs: The Company capitalizes software development
     --------------------------                                              
     costs upon achievement of technological feasibility, subject to net
     realizable value considerations in accordance with Statement of Financial
     Accounting Standards No. 86. The Company has defined technological
     feasibility as completion of a working model. Such capitalized costs are
     amortized upon product release on a straight-line basis over the estimated
     useful life of two years or the ratio of current revenue to the total of
     current and anticipated future revenues, whichever is greater. For fiscal
     1993, the Company capitalized $513,000, respectively. For fiscal 1995 and
     1994, such capitalized costs were insignificant and thus charged to
     research and development expenses for the respective periods in the
     accompanying financial statements. During the fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993,
     the Company amortized $257,000, $864,000, $662,000, respectively, of
     previously capitalized software development costs.
     
     Income taxes: The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the
     ------------                                                              
     provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109 (FAS
     109), "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under FAS 109, the liability method
     is used in accounting for income taxes.
     
     Revenue recognition: Product revenues, which include licensing and software
     -------------------                                                        
     revenues, are generally recognized on shipment provided that no significant
     vendor or post-contract support obligations remain outstanding and
     collection of the resulting receivable is deemed probable. Insignificant
     vendor and post-support obligations are accrued upon shipment. Revenue
     under maintenance contracts is recognized ratably over the term of the

     Racal-Redac Agreement - In July 1993, the Company and Racal-Redac, Inc.

     ("Racal") amended the May 1991 Technology Transfer and Joint Development
     Agreement which provided for the exchange of certain VHDL technologies and
     for the joint ownership in certain Racal technology for cash, common stock
     and future payments based on future sales. Under the terms of the July
     agreement the original agreement was amended to require payments of
     $3,600,000 (payable over four years) in lieu of the future payments based
     on product sales. In April 1994, the Company and Racal re-negotiated the
     terms of the July 1993 agreement. The new terms reduced overall payments to
     Racal from the Company by $750,000 and extended the scheduled payments into
     fiscal 1998. This resulted in an extraordinary credit of $664,000, after
     being offset by certain related expenses. The Company has also granted
     Racal a security interest in certain VHDL software developed by the Company
     with respect to the promissory note to Racal by the Company. In the event
     that the Company defaults in the payment of the promissory note, Racal may
     obtain all rights to the software, including access to the source code of
     the software.

5.   Income taxes (continued)
     ------------------------

     Utilization of the net operating losses and credits may be subject to an
     annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the
     Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and similar state provisions.
     The annual limitation could result in the expiration of net operating
     losses and credits before utilization.

     for federal and state income taxes as of September 30, 1995 and October 1,

     The net valuation allowance decreased by $1,300,000 and $800,000 during the
     twelve months ended September 30, 1995 and October 1, 1994.
  
     Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (FAS 109),
     deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences
     between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are
     measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when
     the differences are expected to reverse. The Company has provided a full
     valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets due to
     uncertainties surrounding their realization, primarily due to the Company
     having cumulative losses in the last three years, which causes
     predictability of earnings in the early future years to be uncertain.
  
  
6.   Geographic, major customers and concentration of credit risks
     -------------------------------------------------------------
  
     The Company and its subsidiaries operate in one segment, principally the
     development, manufacture, sale and service of high performance hardware-
     assisted systems for simulation of integrated circuits (ICs) and IC-based
     electronic systems. The Company sells its products to a broad range of
     customers in the communications, semiconductor, multimedia/graphics,
     computer, aerospace and consumer electronics industries. The Company
     performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not
     require collateral. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit
     losses and such losses have been within management's expectations.

                                   AGREEMENT

     This Agreement (the "Agreement") is made and entered into the 19th day of
June, 1995, by and between IKOS Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), and William B. Fazakerly (the "Employee").

     WHEREAS, the Company desires to continue to retain the services of the 
Employee in connection with the conduct of its business and the Employee is 
willing to continue to render such services, subject to receipt of the benefits 
described in this Agreement.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual 
covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth,the parties agrees as follows:

COMPENSATION AND EMPLOYMENT:  The Company agrees that Employee shall continue to
- ----------------------------
receive salary, vacation, sick leave, insurance, and health benefits as follows:

a.   Base salary of $168,000/year with annual review and appropriate raises.

b.   An advance bonus of $36,000/year, payable in equal installments each pay
     period (every two weeks). This bonus will be offset dollar-for-dollar by
     profit sharing and other bonuses Employee would be eligible to receive each
     year. In the event Employee's profit sharing and other bonuses add up to
     less than the amount paid to Employee ($36K) on an annual basis (COLA and
     advance bonus for calendar 1995), then the difference will be forgiven at
     the end of the year. In the event Employee's profit sharing and other
     bonuses add up to more than the amount paid to Employee ($36K) on an annual
     basis (COLA and advance bonus for calendar 1995), then the difference will
     be paid to Employee at the time IKOS issues the appropriate bonus checks
     for the respective year.

c.   Vacation, sick leave, insurance, and health benefits commensurate with the 
     above base salary.

d.   Any other compensation which is made available to all Company officers, as 
     directed and approved by the CEO or the Board of Directors.

e.   Normal vesting of stock options.

Employee agrees to continue as a full-time employee of the Company, and to use 
best efforts to perform his job assignment (as hereinafter defined).

JOB ASSIGNMENT:  Employee's title will continue as Chief Technical Officer and 
- --------------
Director of Corporate Strategy. Employee will formulate corporate market and
product strategy in response to industry developments and make appropriate
recommendations to senior management. Employee will also present this strategy
to customers, potential customers, investors, and market analysts. Near-term
efforts will include definition of the Company's ASIC library strategy and
definition of the Company's next generation product. Employee will report to the
Company's CEO and will work closely with the senior staff and other employees in
the pursuit of objectives. An outline of near-term tasks and objectives is
contained in Exhibit A.

RELOCATION:  If at any time the Company and the employee mutually agree to 
- ----------
Employee's relocation to Cupertino, California, the Company agrees to pay
expenses incurred by Employee as a result of this relocation. These expenses

SEVERANCE:  If (a) the Employee's employment with the Company is terminated
- ---------
without cause, or (b) Employee terminates his employment with the Company for
cause (as hereinafter defined), Employee shall continue to receive salary, 
insurance, health benefits, and stock vesting as he would have received if he 
were continually employed by the Company for a period of six (6) months 
following the Date of Termination (as hereinafter defined). Such severance 
benefits will be discontinued if Employee is employed before the six-month 
period has elapsed.

Cause Defined:  For the purposes of termination by the Company, termination for
- ------------- 
cause  will include, but not be limited to, the following: (i) the continued 
neglect by Employee of his responsibilities and duties to the Company, (ii) any 
act of dishonesty or falsification of records by Employee relating to Employee's
employment, (iii) conviction of Employee for any felony or a crime involving 
embezzlement or fraud, (iv) Employee's violation or failure to comply with any 
of the Company's reasonable rules and regulations, or (v) Employee's failure to 
serve less than forty (40) hours per week with the Company.

For the purposes of termination by Employee, termination for cause will include,
but not be limited to, the following: (1) requirement for Employee to work at a 
location other than Waldwick New Jersey without Employee's consent, (ii) 
reduction in Employee's base salary, expenses, or benefits without Employee's 
consent, or (iii) alteration of Employee's job requirements or responsibilities 
without Employee's consent.

Date of termination:  For the purposes hereof, in the event the Company
- ------------------- 
terminates Employee's employment with the Company, the Date of Termination shall
be the date that Employee is notified, in writing, by the Company. In the event 
that the Employee terminates employment with the Company, the Date of 
Termination shall be the date Employee notifies the Company, in writing, that he
is terminating his employment.

Waiver or Modification:  Any waiver, modification or amendment of any provision
- ---------------------- 
of this Agreement shall be effective only if in writing in a document that 
specifically refers to this Agreement and such document is signed by the parties
against whom enforcement thereof is sought.

Entire Agreement:  This Agreement constitutes the full and complete
- ---------------- 
understanding and agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject 
matter covered herein and supersedes all prior oral and written understandings 
and agreements with respect thereto.

Severability:  If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable
- ------------ 
in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such unenforceability shall
not affect the remaining provisions of this Agreement, but this Agreement shall 
be construed as if such unenforceable provision had been limited or modified 
(consistent with its general intent) to the extent necessary so that the 
provision shall be enforceable. If it is not possible to so limit or modify such
unenforceable provision, the Agreement shall be construed as if such 
unenforceable provision had never been contained herein and the parties will use
their best efforts to substitute an enforceable provision which implements the 
purposes and intents and provides the same economic benefit to the parties as 
the unenforceable provision.

Notices:  Any notice to be given by either party hereunder shall be in writing
- -------
and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered or mailed, certified or
registered mail, postage prepaid, as follows: to the Company at: 19050 
Pruneridge Avenue, Cupertino, CA 95014, attention: Chief Executive Officer, and 
to the Employee at his address as it appears on the payroll records of the 
Company, or to such other address as may be furnished to the other party by 
written notice.
