NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements at July 1,
2000 and for the three and nine months ended July 1, 2000 and July 3, 1999,
have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles, consistent with those applied in, and should be read in
conjunction with, the audited consolidated financial statements for the
year ended October 2, 1999 included in the Form 10-K as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on December 20, 1999. The unaudited
interim financial information reflects all normal recurring adjustments
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of
results for the interim periods presented. The results for the three and
nine month periods ended July 1, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of
results expected for the full year.
Certain reclassifications, none of which affected net income, have been
made to prior year's amounts to conform to the current year's presentation.

5. Line of Credit Facility
In April, the Company completed the establishment of a line of credit with
its bank. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will be able to
utilize up to $3,000,000 for working capital purposes and an additional
$1,500,000 for capital acquisitions. The Company has offset a portion of
the working capital line for use as collateral for letter of credits
relating to its new facility leases. As of July 1, 2000, approximately
$1,500,000 remains available for used under the line of credit facility.
6. Facility Lease Agreements

7. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin 101, (SAB 101), "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements." SAB 101 provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and
disclosure of revenue in the financial statements of public companies. The
accounting profession is currently exploring practical means of
implementing the guidelines established by SAB 101. To the extent that SAB
101 is applicable to the Company, the Company will be required to change
its revenue recognition policy. In June 2000, the SEC issued SAB 101B that
delays the effective date of SAB 101 until no later than the fourth fiscal
quarter of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1999. The Company will
be required to adopt SAB 101 by the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001.
Financial information for prior quarters would be restated with the
cumulative effect adjustment reflected in the fourth quarter of 2001 in
accordance with FASB Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in
Interim Financial Statements. In subsequent periods, the Company would
disclose the amount of revenue, if material, recognized in those periods
that were included in the cumulative effect adjustment. The Company
currently cannot determine what effect, if any, that SAB 101 will have on
the Company's financial statements. Management believes that SAB 101, to
the extent it is applicable to the Company, will not effect the underlying
strength or weakness of the Company's business operations as measured by
the dollar value of the Company's shipments and cash flows.
In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued FASB
Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock
Compensation - an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25" ("FIN 44"). FIN 44
clarifies the application of APB Opinion No. 25 and among other issues
clarifies the 6 following: the definition of an employee for purposes of
applying APB Opinion No. 25; the criteria for determining whether a plan
qualifies as a noncompensatory plan; the accounting consequences of various
modifications to the terms of previously fixed stock options or awards; and
the accounting for an exchange of stock compensation awards in a business
combination. FIN 44 is effective July 1, 2000, but certain conclusions in
FIN 44 cover specific events that occurred after either December 15, 1998
or January 12, 2000. The Company does not expect the application of FIN 44
to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Cautionary Statement
The statements in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations that are forward looking involve numerous
risks and uncertainties and are based on current expectations. Actual results
may differ materially from those projected. Such risks and uncertainties may be
more fully described in other reports and information filed by the Company with
the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain of these risks and uncertainties
are discussed under the caption "Factors That May Affect Future Results of
Operations."
Net Revenues
Net revenues for the three and nine month periods ending July 1, 2000 were
$18,443,000 and $50,647,000, respectively, representing a 23% and 26% increase
over the same periods of the prior year. This increase was a result of
increases in product of 25% and maintenance revenues of 17%. For the three
months ended July 1, 2000, product revenues increased as result of increases in
emulation sales during the quarter. Emulation revenues increased approximately
72% over the prior year's quarter and 41% over the immediately preceding
quarter, as demand continues to increase for the Company's latest emulation
product offering. For the nine month period, emulation revenues grew by over 53%
when compared to the prior year nine month period. The increase is a result of
the growing acceptance of the Company's current emulation offerings and the
ongoing upgrades to the product itself. Simulation revenues were 10% lower than
the prior year's quarter and 14% lower than the previous quarter. For the nine
month period, simulation revenues increased 20% when compared to the same period
in fiscal 1999. While the Company has realized stronger than expected sales of
its simulation product for the nine month period, the third quarter decrease is
believed to be indicative of the expected trend of simulation product sales.
The Company's newer simulation products are still in demand, however, the
Company anticipates that the ongoing revenue growth will be mainly from its
emulation products and the simulation revenues will show flat to lower results
as the transition to emulation continues.
For the three and nine month period ended July 1, 2000, maintenance revenues
have increased primarily due to the Company's increasing installed base of
emulation customers. In addition, maintenance revenues on the Company's
simulation products are slightly higher for the nine month period as customers
continue to renew and maintain their simulation product investment. Maintenance
revenues are expected to continue to grow, as they relate to the emulation
products. However, the overall growth of maintenance revenues may be limited
due to fewer customers renewing their maintenance for the simulation products as
this business evolves.
International revenues for the quarter ended July 1, 2000, totaled $6,814,000 or
approximately 37% of total revenues. International revenues for the quarter
increased 53% when compared to the prior year quarter. For the nine month
period, international revenues totaled $19,015,000 or 38% of total revenues and
represents an increase of 43% from the same period a year ago. The increase in
international revenues is due in part to timing of orders coupled with continued
strong demand for the simulation products internationally and growing demand for
emulation products.

<PAGE>
Gross Profit Margins
Gross profit margins for the three and nine month periods ended July 1, 2000
were 79% and 78%, respectively. Gross profit margins for the three and nine
month periods ended July 3, 1999 were 75%. The increase in gross profit margins
for the three and nine month periods ended July 1, 2000 as compared to the same
periods in the previous year are a result of the sales of higher margin products
and the increased manufacturing efficiencies. Product margins increased due to
the higher margin products and volume while maintenance margins decreased as a
result of higher support costs related to newer products.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses for the three and nine month periods ending
July 1, 2000 were approximately $4,198,000 and $11,405,000, respectively or 23%
of net revenues. This represented an increase of 23% over the third quarter of
1999 and 16% for the nine month period. Research and development expenses
increased primarily as a result of increased salaries and prototype costs. As
the Company continues to research verification tool methodologies and introduce
new products, research and development costs are expected to increase in
absolute dollars over the remainder of the year.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses for the three and nine month periods ending July 1,
2000 were approximately $6,161,000 and $17,842,000, respectively or 33% and 35%
of net revenues. This represented an increase of 8% and 13% over the same three
and nine month periods in fiscal 1999. The increase over the prior year quarter
and nine month period is primarily related to increase salaries, commissions,
consulting expenses and trade show expenses.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative costs for the three and nine month periods ending
July 1, 2000 were $1,231,000 and $3,572,000 or 7% of net revenues. For the
three and the nine month periods, the general and administrative expenses were
comparable with the prior year in terms of percentage of revenues although
slightly higher in absolute dollars as a result of increased salaries and
related expenses. General and administrative costs are expected to remain flat
as a percentage of revenues over the remainder of fiscal 2000.
Income Taxes
The Company's effective tax rate on the consolidated pretax income for the three
and nine month periods ended July 1, 2000 is 25%, as compared to an effective
tax rate of 25% and 23% for the three and nine month periods of fiscal 1999. The
Company's 2000 effective tax rate for the three and nine month periods ended
July 1, 2000 differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to benefits
associated with its net operating loss carryforward. The Company's 1999
effective tax rate for the three and nine month periods ended July 3, 1999
differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to benefits associated
with its net operating loss carryforward.

Other
The Company has experienced minimal 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 to date the Company has not
engaged in hedging transactions with respect to such obligations. The Company
has reorganized its operations at its Japan subsidiary and is engaging in
transactions in the Japanese local currency. As such, the Company periodically
enters into foreign exchange contracts to minimize foreign exchange risk
relating to the Japanese subsidiary's sales that are denominated in yen. A
forward exchange contract obligates the Company to exchange predetermined
amounts of a specified foreign currency at a specified exchange rate on a
specified date or to make an equivalent US dollar payment equal to the value of
such exchange. These contracts are accounted for as hedges of identifiable
receivables denominated in Japanese yen. Realized gains or losses are
recognized upon maturity of the contracts and offset the underlying asset or
liability. Through July 1, 2000, the impact of such hedging arrangements have
been immaterial to the Company operations.
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin 101, (SAB 101), "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements". SAB 101 provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and
disclosure of revenue in the financial statements of public companies. The
accounting profession is currently exploring practical means of implementing the
guidelines established by SAB 101. To the extent that SAB 101 is applicable to
the Company, the Company will be required to change its revenue recognition
policy. In June 2000, the SEC issued SAB 101B that delays the effective date of
SAB 101 until no later than the fourth fiscal quarter of fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1999. The Company will be required to adopt SAB 101 by the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2001. Financial information for prior quarters would be
restated with the cumulative effect adjustment reflected in the fourth quarter
of 2001 in accordance with FASB Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in
Interim Financial Statements. In subsequent periods, the Company would disclose
the amount of revenue, if material, recognized in those periods that were
included in the cumulative effect adjustment. The Company currently cannot
determine what effect, if any, that SAB 101 will have on the Company's financial
statements. Management believes that SAB 101, to the extent it is applicable to
the Company, will not effect the underlying strength or weakness of the
Company's business operations as measured by the dollar value of the Company's
shipments and cash flows.
In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued FASB

Compensation - an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25" ("FIN 44"). FIN 44
clarifies the application of APB Opinion No. 25 and among other issues clarifies

effective July 1, 2000, but certain conclusions in FIN 44 cover specific events
that occurred after either December 15, 1998 or January 12, 2000. The Company
does not expect the application of FIN 44 to have a material impact on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.

Factors that May Affect Future Results of Operations
Potential Fluctuations in Quarterly Results - The Company's quarterly operating
-------------------------------------------
results have in the past and may in the future vary significantly depending on
factors including the timing of customer development projects and purchase
orders, new product announcements and releases by the Company and other
companies, gain or loss of significant customers, price discounting of the
Company's products, the timing of expenditures, customer product delivery
requirements, availability and cost of components or labor and economic
conditions generally and in the electronics industry specifically. Any
unfavorable change in these or other factors could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's operating results for a particular quarter. Many of the
Company's customers order on an as-needed basis and often delay issuance of firm
purchase orders until their project commencement dates are determined. Quarterly
revenue and operating results will therefore depend on the volume and timing of
orders received during the quarter, which are difficult to forecast accurately.
Moreover, a significant portion of the Company's revenue may result from
shipments during the last few weeks of the quarter from orders generally
received in the last month of the quarter. Any concentration of sales at the end
of the quarter may limit the Company's ability to plan or adjust operating
expenses and production and inventory levels. Therefore, if anticipated
shipments in any quarter do not occur or are delayed, expenditure levels could
be disproportionately high as a percentage of revenue, and the Company's
operating results for that quarter would be adversely affected. In addition,
sales of individual systems with high average sales prices can constitute a
significant percentage of the Company's quarterly revenue. Operating results in
any period should not be considered indicative of the results to be expected for
any future period, and there can be no assurance that the Company's net revenues
will increase or that the Company will remain profitable in any future period.
Sales Trends - Over the past several years the marketplace for the Company's
------------
products has evolved substantially. The Company has seen a significant reduction
in sales of its simulation products as revenues have declined from approximately
$37,044,000 in fiscal 1997 to approximately $19,463,000 in fiscal 1999.
Simulation revenues were approximately $17,184,000 for the first nine months of
fiscal 2000. While the overall decrease is due in part to the evolution of the
market, the primary cause of the decrease is the result of the Company's focus
on its new emerging product line of emulation solutions. The Company has seen
its revenues from its emulation products increase from approximately $6,000,000
in fiscal 1997 to $20,143,000 through nine months of fiscal 2000. The Company
anticipates that the simulation product revenue will continue to decrease,
however, at a slower rate over the next year and its emulation revenues will
increase resulting in increased sales overall. There can be no assurance that
the Company will be able to maintain these expected trends. These trends will be
dependent upon the Company introducing new products and methodologies.
Furthermore, increased overall sales will also depend on an increasing number of
complex ICs designed for electronic systems, integration of the Company's
products with other tools for IC design, the ability of the Company's products
to shorten overall customer design cycles and increased industry acceptance of
the Company's verifications solutions. Because the market for hardware-assisted
verification products is evolving, it is difficult to predict with any assurance
whether the markets for such solutions will continue to expand. There can be no
assurances that such market will expand, or even if such market expands, that
the Company's products will achieve and maintain the market acceptance required
to maintain revenue growth and profitability in the future.
Major Accounts - The Company believes that in order to grow revenues, the
--------------
Company must establish volume purchase relationships with large customers who
will
12
<PAGE>
make routine and recurring purchases of the Company's products and represent
major accounts to the Company. The Company believes that through these
relationships, it can achieve its growth objectives. However, there can be no
assurance that the Company can successfully establish such relationships with
certain large customers whereby the customer purchases product on a routine and
recurring basis. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that such relationships
if established would in fact provide for increasing revenues to meet the
Company's growth objectives.
New Product Development - To continue its expected revenue growth, the Company
-----------------------
needs to continue to invest in new product development. The Company continues to
focus most of its development resources on its emulation products. Since fiscal
1997, when the Company released its first generation emulator, the Company has
released two new generations of its emulation product. The Company has seen
favorable results with its latest release; however, there can be no assurance
that the product will continue to meet the requirements of the marketplace.
There continues to be further development of the emulation product as well as
other verification products, and as the Company continues to develop such
products, which are based on the new technology, there can be no assurance that
the enhanced products or other developed products resulting from this
development will provide the necessary solutions for customer design
verification needs, be of acceptable quality or achieve further market
acceptance. The success of the Company in developing, introducing, selling and
supporting verification products will depend on a variety of factors, including
but not limited to, the timely and successful enhancement of current products,
completion of product design and development of future products, the timely and
efficient implementation of manufacturing processes, effective sales, marketing
and customer service. However, performance problems or other difficulties that
may require design modifications and related expenses may hinder or damage
market acceptance of the products. While the Company's verification systems are
designed to provide cost and ease of use advantages intended to broaden the
market for hardware-assisted verification, there can be no assurance that its
products will be able to achieve such goals. Moreover, there can be no assurance
that the market for such verification solutions will broaden beyond the current
set of users.
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 its
verification products. The Company currently competes with traditional software
verification methodologies, including product offerings sold by Cadence,
Synopsis and Mentor Graphics. The Company's main competition for the sale of
emulation systems is Quickturn/Cadence. The Company expects competition in the
market for verification tools 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.
13
<PAGE>
New Products and Technological Change - The EDA industry is characterized by
-------------------------------------
extremely rapid technological change in both hardware and software development,
frequent new product introductions, evolving industry standards and changing
customer requirements. The introduction of products embodying new technologies
and the emergence of new industry standards can render existing products
obsolete and unmarketable. The Company's future success will depend upon its
ability to enhance its current series of simulation and emulation systems and to
design, develop and support its future simulation and emulation products on a
timely basis. These efforts require a high level of expenditures for research
and development by the Company to address the increasingly sophisticated needs
of the customers. For example, all of the Company's current products operate in,
and planned future products will operate in, the Unix operating environment, an
industry standard in the EDA market. In the event that another operating system,
such as Windows NT, becomes an industry standard, the Company may be required to
port its products to such new standard. In addition, the Company's simulation
systems generally accept designs in the broadly accepted hardware description
language, Verilog-XL, which Cadence has developed and made available to the
Company. In the event Cadence adopts a less cooperative stance toward the
Company in the future, the Company's systems may not be able to accept designs
based on Verilog-XL and the Company may be required to develop software to
accept designs of other hardware description languages. The inability to accept
designs in Verilog-XL may materially adversely affect the Company's results of
operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in
developing and marketing product enhancements or new products that respond to
technological change or evolving industry standards or 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 that its new products and product enhancements will adequately meet
the requirements of the marketplace, will be of acceptable quality or will
achieve market acceptance. If the Company is unable, for technological or other
reasons, to develop and introduce products in a timely manner in response to
changing market conditions or customer requirements, the Company's business,
operating results and financial condition will be materially and adversely
affected. Moreover, from time to time, the Company may announce new products or
technologies that have the potential to replace the Company's existing product
offerings. There can be no assurance that the announcement of new product
offerings will not cause customers to defer purchases of existing Company
products, which could adversely affect the Company's results of operations for
any particular quarter.
Dependence on Electronics Industry - The Company is dependent upon the
----------------------------------
electronics industry and, in particular, new system and IC design projects. The
electronics industry is characterized by rapid technological change, short
product life cycles, fluctuations in manufacturing capacity and pricing and
margin pressures, all of which cause it to be volatile. As a result, the
electronics industry has historically experienced sudden and unexpected
downturns, at which time the number of new system and IC design projects
decrease. Because most of the Company's sales occur upon the commencement of new
projects for system and IC products, the Company is dependent upon the rate of
commencement of new system and IC design projects. Accordingly, negative factors
affecting the electronics industry could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's results of operations.
Dependence Upon Certain Suppliers - Certain key components used in the Company's
---------------------------------
products are presently available from sole or limited sources. The inability to
develop alternative sources for these sole or limited source components or to
obtain sufficient quantities of these components could result in delays or
reductions in product shipments which could adversely affect the Company's
operating results. The Company's systems use proprietary ASICs and FPGAs that
are currently manufactured solely by American Microsystems, Inc. ("AMI") and
Xilinx, Inc. ("Xilinx"), respectively.
14
<PAGE>
The Company generally purchases these components, including semiconductor
memories used in the Company's verification hardware, pursuant to purchase
orders placed from time to time in the ordinary course of business and has no
supply arrangements with any of its source suppliers that require the suppliers
to provide components in guaranteed quantities or at set prices. Moreover, the
manufacture of these components can be extremely complex, and the Company's
reliance on the suppliers of these components exposes the Company to production
difficulties and quality variations that may be experienced by these suppliers.
Therefore, the Company's reliance on its sole and limited source suppliers
involves several risks, including a potential inability to obtain an adequate
supply of required components, reduced control over pricing and timely delivery
and quality of acceptable components. While the timeliness and quality of
deliveries to date from such suppliers have been acceptable, there can be no
assurance that problems will not occur in the future. Any prolonged inability to
obtain components or subassemblies in sufficient quantities or quality or on
favorable pricing or delivery terms, or any other circumstances that would
require the Company to seek alternative sources of supply, could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's operating results and could damage the Company's
relationships with its customers.
Customer Concentration - A relatively limited number of customers have
----------------------
historically accounted for a substantial portion of the Company's net revenues.
During fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997, sales to the Company's top ten customers
accounted for approximately 60%, 45% and 52%, respectively, of the Company's net
revenues. The Company expects that sales of its products to a limited number of
customers will continue to account for a high percentage of net revenues for the
foreseeable future. The loss of a major customer or any reduction in orders by
such customers, including reductions due to market or competitive conditions in
the electronics or EDA industries, would have an adverse effect on the Company's
results of operations. Moreover, the Company's ability to increase its sales
will depend in part upon its ability to obtain orders from new customers, as
well as the financial condition and success of its existing customers and the
general economy. There can be no assurance that such increases will occur.
Sales Support Personnel - Due the complex and technical environment, in which
-----------------------
the Company operates, the Company's products require a significant level of pre-
sale support and in certain instances post-sale support. Due to the current
competitive environment for these support resources, the Company is faced with
many challenges in hiring, training and retaining the best application support
resources available. While the Company has been successful in the past in
hiring and training sales support personnel, there are no guarantees that the
Company can continue to hire and retain new employees as needed. Should the
Company be unable to attract and maintain an adequate level of application
support personnel, the Company's sales and support operations could be adversely
impacted. It is the Company's position to be competitive in the hiring,
training and retention of such personnel.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since inception, the Company has financed its operations, including increases in
accounts receivable, inventory and capital equipment acquisitions, primarily
through private and public sales of equity securities and a loan secured by
capital equipment. The Company's cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments increased to $17,303,000 at July 1, 2000 from $10,534,000 at October
2, 1999. The increase was a result of $7,492,000 of cash provided by operating
activities, $1,700,000 of cash used in investing activities (excluding short-
term investment activities) and $977,000 of cash provided by financing
activities.
15
<PAGE>
Operating Activities - The Company's operating activities provided cash of
--------------------
$7,492,000 during the first nine months of fiscal 2000. The $7,492,000 of cash
provided by operations was primarily due to net income adjusted for
depreciation, amortization, accumulated translation adjustments and accrued
rent, decreases in prepaid expenses and other assets, combined with increases in
accrued payroll and related expenses, deferred revenues and income taxes
payable. These increases in cash were partially offset by increases in accounts
receivable and inventories combined with decreases in accounts payable, accrued
commissions and other accrued liabilities.
Investing Activities - Net cash used in investing activities for the first nine
--------------------
months of 2000 was $2,856,000. The $2,856,000 of cash used was primarily the
result of purchases of short-term investments of $4,999,000 and acquisition of
capital equipment of $1,700,000 offset by $3,843,000 obtained from maturities of
short-term investment.
Financing Activities - Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine
--------------------
months ended July 1, 2000, was $977,000 and was primarily related to the net
sales of stock under stock option and purchase plans during the nine months.
The Company's primary unused sources of funds at July 1, 2000 consisted of
$13,277,000 of cash and cash equivalents, in addition to $4,026,000 of short-
term investments. In April 2000, the Company completed the signing of a new
credit facility that provides a $3,000,000 working capital line and a $1,500,000
capital equipment line. Of this total the Company has approximately $1,750,000
available under the working capital line as the remainder serves as collateral
under two letter of credit arrangements the Company has outstanding relating to
its facilities. The Company believes that its current cash, cash equivalents,
short-term investments and its available credit facility, together with cash and
cash equivalents generated from operations will be sufficient to finance its
operations for at least the next twelve months. Should the Company require other
financing arrangements, there can be no assurance that such financing will be
available, if at all, on terms favorable or acceptable to the Company.
