Item 1.           Financial Statements


The condensed  consolidated  interim financial  statements  included herein have
been  prepared by  Integrated  Systems,  Inc. (the  "Company"),  without  audit,
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Although  certain  information  and footnote  disclosures  normally  included in
financial  statements  prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles   have  been  condensed  or  omitted   pursuant  to  such  rules  and
regulations, the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make
the  information  presented not  misleading.  It is suggested that the condensed
consolidated  interim  financial  statements  be read in  conjunction  with  the
consolidated  financial  statements  and  the  notes  thereto  included  in  the
Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  February 28, 1998. The
February 28, 1998 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from the
audited financial  statements,  but does not include all disclosures required by
generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying  condensed  consolidated interim financial statements have been
prepared in all material respects in conformity with the standards of accounting
measurements set forth in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28 and, in the
opinion  of  management,  reflect  all  adjustments,  consisting  only of normal
recurring  adjustments,  necessary to summarize  fairly the financial  position,
results of operations,  and cash flows for the periods indicated. The results of
operations for the interim periods  presented are not necessarily  indicative of
the results to be expected for the full year.

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
   (Information for the three months ended May 31, 1998 and 1997 is unaudited)


1.       Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The  condensed   consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  accounts  of
Integrated Systems, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, after elimination of
all significant  intercompany  accounts and transactions,  and should be read in
conjunction  with the  Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
February 28, 1998.  These  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements do not
include all  disclosures  normally  required by  generally  accepted  accounting
principles.

Certain  amounts  in the  fiscal  year  1998  condensed  consolidated  financial
statements   have  been   reclassified  to  conform  to  the  fiscal  year  1999
presentation.  These  reclassifications  had no  effect on  previously  reported
results of operations or shareholders' equity.

2.       Revenue Recognition

The Company  has adopted the  provisions  of  Statement  of Position  97-2 ("SOP
97-2"), "Software  Revenue  Recognition"  as amended  by SOP 98-4 ("SOP  98-4"),
"Deferral of the Effective  Date of Certain  Provisions  of SOP 97-2"  effective
March 1, 1998. SOP 97-2 and SOP 98-4 provide  guidance on recognition of revenue
on software  transactions and supersede Statement of Position 91-1 ("SOP 91-1").
The  adoption  of SOP 97-2 and SOP 98-4 did not have a  material  effect  on the
Company's current licensing or revenue recognition practices.

3.       Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share is computed in  accordance  with the  provisions of Financial
Accounting  Standards Board Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards No. 128
("SFAS 128"),  "Earnings Per Share." Basic  earnings per share is computed using
the weighted  average  numbers of common shares  outstanding  during the period.
Diluted  earnings  per share is computed  using the weighted  average  number of
common and common  equivalent  shares  outstanding  during  the  period.  Common
equivalent  shares result from the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options
that have a dilutive effect when applying the treasury stock method.

The following table sets forth the calculations of earnings per share:

4.   Comprehensive Income

In  March  1998,  the  Company  adopted  financial  Accounting  Standards  Board
Statement  of Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 130 ("FAS 130"),  "Reporting

from  transactions  and other events and  circumstances  excluding  transactions
resulting  from  investments  by owners and  distributions  to  owners.  For the
Company,  the primary  difference  between net income and  comprehensive  income
results from foreign currency  translation  adjustments and unrealized gains and
losses on available-for-sale marketable securities.

Comprehensive  income  for the three  months  ended May 31,  1998 and 1997 is as
follows:

5.   Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company enters into foreign currency  forward  exchange  contracts to reduce
the  impact of  currency  exchange  rate  fluctuations  on  monetary  assets and
liability positions.  The objective of these contracts is to minimize the impact
of exchange rate  fluctuations  on the Company's  operating  results.  Gains and
losses  associated with exchange rate  fluctuations on foreign  currency forward
exchange contracts are recorded in income as they offset corresponding gains and
losses on the foreign currency  denominated assets and liabilities being hedged.
The costs of the foreign currency  forward exchange  contracts are also recorded
in income.  All foreign currency forward exchange  contracts entered into by the
Company have  maturities of less than one year. At May 31, 1998, the Company had
approximately  $5.2  million  of foreign  currency  forward  exchange  contracts
outstanding,  all in  Japanese  yen.  There  were no  foreign  currency  forward
exchange  contracts at February 28, 1998.  Unrealized  gains on foreign currency
forward exchange contracts at May 31, 1998 totaled $366,000.

Other than the use of foreign  currency  forward  exchange  contracts  discussed
above,  the Company does not  currently  invest in or hold any other  derivative
financial instruments.

6.    Income Taxes

In May 1998, the Company made an election with the Internal  Revenue  Service to
treat the Company's Austrian  Subsidiary,  TakeFive GmbH, as a foreign branch of
the Company in the United States tax return. For financial  statement  purposes,
this  election  resulted in a one-time  tax benefit of $2.4 million in the first
quarter of fiscal year 1999.

7.       Contingencies

In October 1997, Greenhills Software, Inc.  ("Greenhills"),  a supplier, filed a
demand for arbitration against the Company,  alleging among other things, breach
of contract,  fraud,  negligent  misrepresentation and misappropriation of trade
name. In December 1997, the Company  responded to the  arbitration  demand,  and
filed  a  counter-claim   against  Greenhills.   The  Company  believes  it  has
meritorious defenses to all claims against the Company and intends to defend the
claims  vigorously.  No accrual has been made in the  accompanying  consolidated
financial  statements  related  to this  dispute,  as the  ultimate  outcome  is
presently  not  determinable.  The  dispute,  however,  is subject  to  inherent
uncertainties  and thus,  there  can be no  assurance  that it will be  resolved
favorably to the Company or that it will not have a material  adverse  effect on
the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims,  either asserted
or unasserted,  which arise in the ordinary course of business. While management
does not  believe  that the  outcome  of any of the  legal  matters  will have a
material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position,  legal
matters  are  subject  to  inherent  uncertainties  and  thus,  there  can be no
assurance that these matters will be resolved favorably to the Company.

8.       Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 1997,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued  Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 ("SFAS 131"),  "Disclosure About Segments
of  an  Enterprise  and  Related   Information,"   which  specifies   disclosure
requirements for segment  reporting.  The statement  supersedes SFAS 14 and SFAS
18, is  effective  for fiscal years  beginning  after  December  15,  1997,  and
requires  earlier  periods  to be  restated  if  practicable.  The impact of the
adoption of this statement,  if any, on the Financial  Statements of the Company
has not yet been determined.

In April 1998, the American  Institute of Certified  Public  Accountants  issued
Statement of Position 98-1 ("SOP 98-1"),  "Accounting  for the Costs of Computer
Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." SOP 98-1 provides guidance for
determining whether computer software is internal-use software and on accounting
for the  proceeds of computer  software  originally  developed  or obtained  for
internal use and then subsequently sold to the public. It also provides guidance
on  capitalization  of the costs  incurred  for computer  software  developed or
obtained for internal  use. The Company has not yet  determined  the impact,  if
any, of adopting this statement.  The disclosure  prescribed by SOP 98-1 will be
effective for the Company's fiscal year ending February 28, 2000.

Revenue

Revenue  consists of fees from the licensing  and sale of software  products and
providing related maintenance and support, customer training and engineering and
consulting  services.  Total revenue  increased by 28% from $24.6 million in the
first  quarter  of fiscal  year 1998 to $31.5  million  in the first  quarter of
fiscal year 1999.  Product revenue increased 25% from $13.8 million in the first
quarter of fiscal year 1998 to $17.2  million in fiscal year 1999.  The increase
in product revenue was primarily due to an increase in the number of licenses of
the Company's  pRISM+(TM)  product,  which was released in the second quarter of
fiscal  year  1998,  as  well  as  from  increased  licensing  of the  Company's
SNiFF+(TM) and MATRIXxR products.

Services revenue increased 32% from $10.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal
year  1998 to $14.3  million  in the first  quarter  of fiscal  year  1999.  The
increase is due primarily to continued growth of the installed customer base and
the renewal of maintenance and support contracts,  and from growth in consulting
and engineering services.

Price  increases were not a material  factor in the Company's  revenue growth in
the periods presented.

The  percentage  of  the  Company's   total  revenue  from   customers   located
internationally  was 33% and 45% in the first  quarters of fiscal years 1998 and
1999,  respectively.  The increase in  international  revenue as a percentage of
total revenue in the first quarter of fiscal year 1999, as compared to the first
quarter of fiscal  year 1998,  was due  primarily  to revenue in Europe  growing
faster than revenue in the United States.

In Europe and Japan,  revenues and expenses are primarily  denominated  in local
currencies.   In  the  first  quarter  of  fiscal  year  1999  the  U.S.  dollar
strengthened  against many foreign  currencies,  particularly  the Japanese yen,
which resulted in relatively  lower revenues and expenses when  translated  into
U.S.  dollars.  In the first  quarter  of fiscal  year  1998,  revenue  was less
influenced by fluctuations in foreign  exchange rates.  The Company's  operating
and pricing  strategies  take into account  changes in exchange rates over time,
however,  the Company's  results of operations may be significantly  affected in
the short term by fluctuations in foreign currency  exchange rates. In addition,
in recent  months the  currencies of many  countries in the Asia Pacific  region
have lost  significant  value  against  the dollar.  As a result,  sales in this
region could be adversely affected  throughout fiscal year 1999. More generally,
recent  instability  in the Asian  currency and stock  markets  could  adversely
affect the economic  health of the entire  region and adversely  affect  revenue
throughout fiscal year 1999.

Costs and Expenses

Cost of  product  revenue  includes  third-party  royalties,  costs  of  product
packaging,  documentation,  amortization  of  capitalized  software  development
costs, and the costs related to equipment hardware. Cost of product revenue as a
percentage  of product  revenue was 20% and 21% in the first  quarters of fiscal
year 1998 and fiscal year 1999, respectively.

Cost of services revenue includes  personnel and related direct costs associated
with providing  training,  maintenance,  engineering and consulting  services to
customers  and  the  infrastructure  to  manage  a  services  organization.  The
Company's cost of services  revenue as a percentage of services  revenue was 51%
and 38% in the first quarters of fiscal years 1998 and 1999, respectively.  Cost
of services  revenue as a percentage  of services  revenue can  fluctuate due to
shifts in the services revenue mix between higher margin maintenance and support
revenues and lower margin  engineering  and  consulting  services  revenues.  In
addition,  the cost of services  revenue as a percentage of services revenue can
fluctuate  due to  shifts  in the  proportion  of fixed  price  versus  time and
material  engineering  and consulting  contracts.  Fixed price  engineering  and
consulting  contracts  generally have lower gross margins than time and material
contracts.  Cost  of  services  revenue  as a  percentage  of  services  revenue
decreased in the first quarter of fiscal year 1999 compared to the first quarter
of fiscal year 1998 due to a higher  percentage of total services revenues being
derived from  maintenance  and support.  In  addition,  in the first  quarter of
fiscal year 1998 there was a higher  proportion of fixed price  engineering  and
consulting services contracts than in the first quarter of fiscal year 1999.

Marketing  and sales  expenses  increased  by 29% from $9.4 million in the first
quarter of fiscal year 1998 to $12.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal year
1999 and represented  38% of total revenue in both periods.  The dollar increase
in marketing and sales expenses in the first quarter of fiscal year 1999 was due
to  continued  growth  of the  domestic  and  international  sales  and  support
infrastructure.

The Company  believes  that  significant  investment  for product  research  and
development  is  essential  to product and  technical  leadership.  Research and
development  expenses  increased  13% from $4.8 million in the first  quarter of
fiscal year 1998 to $5.4 million in the first  quarter of fiscal year 1999,  but
decreased as a percentage  of total revenue from 20% to 17%,  respectively.  The
dollar  increase in research and  development  expenses was due  primarily to an
increase  in  personnel  and  consulting  costs  associated  with the  Company's
continued  emphasis on developing new products and enhancing  existing products.
The  decrease in  research  and  development  expense as a  percentage  of total
revenue was due to having  significant costs in the first quarter of fiscal year
1998 related to the  development  effort  associated  with the Company's  pRISM+
product.  The Company  anticipates  that it will continue to devote  substantial
resources to product research and development throughout fiscal year 1999.

                                      -11-

<PAGE>


General and administrative expenses were $2.5 million or 10% of total revenue in
the first  quarter of fiscal year 1998  compared to $3.4 million or 11% of total
revenue in the first  quarter of fiscal year 1999.  The  increase in general and
administrative  expenses  was due  primarily  to an  increase in  personnel  and
personnel  related expenses and due to the Company  incurring higher legal costs
and other outside service costs.

Interest and other income  increased  from $0.8 million in the first  quarter of
fiscal  year 1998 to $0.9  million in the first  quarter of fiscal year 1999 due
primarily to an increase in the amount of interest-bearing  cash equivalents and
marketable securities.

Net income in the first quarter of fiscal year 1999 was positively impacted by a
$2.4 million  one-time federal tax benefit related to a tax election made during
the quarter.  Excluding  this tax benefit,  the effective tax rate for the first
quarter of fiscal year 1999 was 32%.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 1997,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued  Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 ("SFAS 131"),  "Disclosure About Segments
of  an  Enterprise  and  Related   Information,"   which  specifies   disclosure
requirements for segment  reporting.  The statement  supersedes SFAS 14 and SFAS
18, is  effective  for fiscal years  beginning  after  December  15,  1997,  and
requires  earlier  periods  to be  restated  if  practicable.  The impact of the
adoption of this statement,  if any, on the Financial  Statements of the Company
has not yet been determined.

In April 1998, the American  Institute of Certified  Public  Accountants  issued
Statement of Position  98-1 ("SOP 98-1")  "Accounting  for the Costs of Computer
Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use". SOP 98-1 provides guidance for
determining whether computer software is internal-use software and on accounting
for the  proceeds of computer  software  originally  developed  or obtained  for
internal use and then subsequently sold to the public. It also provides guidance
on  capitalization  of the costs  incurred  for computer  software  developed or
obtained for internal  use. The Company has not yet  determined  the impact,  if
any, of adopting this statement.  The disclosure  prescribed by SOP 98-1 will be
effective for the Company's fiscal year ending February 28, 2000.

"Year 2000" Issues

The Company believes that all its most current releases of its products will not
cease to perform nor generate  incorrect or ambiguous data or results solely due
to a  change  in date to or after  January  1,  2000,  and  will  calculate  any
information  dependent  on such  dates  in the  same  manner,  and with the same
functionality, data integrity, and performance, as such products do on or before
December 31, 1999  (collectively,  "Year 2000 Compliance").  However the Company
does not currently have complete information concerning Year 2000 Compliance for
all of its suppliers and customers. In addition, the Company is currently in the
process of evaluating its internal  information  technology  infrastructure  for
Year 2000 Compliance.  In the event that the Company's  significant suppliers or
customers  do not  successfully  and timely  achieve Year 2000  Compliance,  the
Company's  business,  financial  condition  and results of  operations  could be
adversely affected.

"Euro" Issues

The Economic and Monetary Union ("EMU") and the  introduction  of a new currency
(the "Euro"),  will begin in Europe on January 1, 1999. The new currency enables
the European  Union ("EU") to blend the economies of EU's member states into one
large  market with  unrestricted  and  unencumbered  trade and  commerce  across
borders.  Eleven  European  countries are expected to  participate  in the first
membership wave of EMU, including the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany,
France,  Ireland,  Finland,  Austria,  Italy,  Spain and Portugal.  Other member
states are expected to join in the years to come.  The Company has not evaluated
the impact of the  introduction  of the new currency and has not  determined the
impact, if any, on the Company's  financial  position,  results of operations or
cash flows.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company had funded its  operations  to date  principally  through cash flows
from operations. As of May 31, 1998, the Company had $72.8 million of cash, cash
equivalents  and  marketable  securities.  This  represents  an increase of $5.3
million from  February 28, 1998.  During the first  quarter of fiscal year 1998,
the Company  announced that the Board of Directors had authorized the Company to
repurchase up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock for cash, from time-to-time at
market  prices,   pursuant  to  a  repurchase  program.  To  date,  the  Company
repurchased 135,000 shares of common stock for $1.7 million under this program.

Net cash  provided by operating  activities  was $5.4  million  during the first
quarter of fiscal year 1999. This represents a decrease of $2.9 million from the
amount  generated  in the first  quarter  of  fiscal  year  1998.  Net cash from
operating activities decreased in the first quarter of fiscal year 1999, despite
higher net income than in the first quarter of fiscal year 1998 due primarily to
larger  payments of income  taxes and an increase  in  deferred  tax assets.  In
addition,  in the first quarter of fiscal year 1998 deferred  revenue  increased
$5.3  million  compared  to a decrease of $0.6  million in the first  quarter of
fiscal  year 1999.  The  increase in  deferred  revenue in the first  quarter of
fiscal year 1998 was due to advanced customer  payments on engineering  services
contracts.

Net cash provided by investing  activities was $3.4 million in the first quarter
of fiscal year 1999.  This compares to net cash used in investing  activities of
$14.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 1998. The  difference  between
the two  comparative  quarters is due  primarily to the timing of purchases  and
maturities of marketable securities.

Net cash  provided by  financing  activities  totaled  $1.8 million in the first
quarter of fiscal  year 1999  compared to $0.9  million in the first  quarter of
fiscal year 1998. The increase in net cash provided by financing  activities was
due to primarily to an increase in the proceeds  from the exercise of options to
purchase common stock and purchases under the employee Stock Purchase Plan.

The Company believes that the cash flows from operations, together with existing
cash and  investment  balances,  will be  adequate  to meet the  Company's  cash
requirements for working capital, capital expenditures and stock repurchases for
the next 12 months and the foreseeable future.


Risk Factors that May Affect Future Results of Operations

Fluctuations in Quarterly Results

The Company's quarterly operating results can vary significantly  depending on a
number of factors, including the volume and timing of orders received during the
quarter,  the mix of and changes in customers to whom the Company's products are
sold, the timing and acceptance of new products and product  enhancements by the
Company or its competitors,  changes in pricing,  buyouts of run-time  licenses,
product life cycles,  the level of the Company's  sales of third party products,
purchasing  patterns  of  customers,  competitive  conditions  in the  industry,
foreign  currency  exchange rate  fluctuations,  business  cycles  affecting the
markets in which the Company's products are sold,  extraordinary events, such as
litigation or acquisitions,  including related charges,  and economic conditions
generally  or in various  geographic  areas.  All of the  foregoing  factors are
difficult to forecast. The future operating results of the Company may fluctuate
as a result of these and other  factors,  including  the  Company's  ability  to
continue to develop innovative and competitive products.

The Company historically has operated with insignificant product backlog because
its products are generally shipped as orders are received. As a result,  product
revenue in any  quarter  depends on the volume and timing of orders  received in
that  quarter.  In addition,  the Company  generally  recognizes  a  substantial
portion of its total revenue from sales orders  received and shipped in the last
two weeks of the quarter.  As such, the magnitude of quarterly  fluctuations may
not  become  evident  until  very  late in,  or after  the end of, a  particular
quarter. In addition, an increasing amount of the Company's sales orders involve
products  and  services  which  yield  revenue  over  multiple  quarters or upon
completion of performance. Because the Company's staffing and operating expenses
are based on  anticipated  total revenue  levels,  and a high  percentage of the
Company's costs are fixed in the short term and do not vary with revenue,  small
variations   between   anticipated   orders  and  actual  orders,   as  well  as
non-recurring  or large  orders,  can cause  disproportionate  variations in the
Company's operating results from quarter to quarter.

The procurement  process of the Company's  customers typically ranges from a few
weeks to several  months or longer  from  initial  inquiry to order,  making the
timing of sales and license fees difficult to predict. Moreover, as licensing of
the Company's  products  increasingly  becomes a more strategic decision made at
higher  management  levels,  there can be no assurance that sales cycles for the
Company's  products will not lengthen.  In addition,  a portion of the Company's
revenues from services are earned pursuant to fixed price  contracts.  Variances
in costs associated with those contracts could have a material adverse effect on
the  Company's  business and results of  operations.  The  Company's  results of
operations may also be affected by seasonal trends. While the Company's revenues
are not generally seasonal in nature, the Company's total revenue and net income
during the first fiscal quarter have  historically  been lower than the previous
fourth  fiscal  quarter for a variety of reasons,  including  customer  purchase
cycles  related to  expiration  of budgetary  authorizations.  Due to all of the
foregoing factors, the Company believes that period-to-period comparisons of its
results of operations  are not  necessarily  meaningful and should not be relied
upon as an indication of future  performance.  During previous fiscal years, the
Company has experienced  actual  performance  that did not meet financial market
expectations.  It is  likely  that,  in  some  future  quarters,  the  Company's
operating  results will again be below the expectations of stock market analysts
and investors.

Rapid Technological Change; Dependence on New Products

The market for embedded  applications  is  fragmented  and is  characterized  by
ongoing  technological  developments,  evolving  industry  standards  and  rapid
changes in customer requirements. The Company's success depends upon its ability
to continue to develop and  introduce in a timely  manner new products that take
advantage of technological advances, to continue to enhance its existing product
lines, to offer its products across a spectrum of  microprocessor  families used
in  the  embedded   systems  market  and  to  respond   promptly  to  customers'
requirements and preferences.  The Company must continuously update its existing
products to keep them  current  with  changing  technology  and must develop new
products to take advantage of new  technologies  that could render the Company's
existing  products   obsolete.   The  Company  has  experienced  delays  in  the
development  of new  products and the  enhancement  of existing  products.  Such
delays are commonplace in the software industry and are likely to be experienced
by the Company in the future.  The Company's  future  prospects  depend upon the
Company's ability to increase the

                                      -13-

<PAGE>


functionality  of  existing  products  in a timely  manner  and to  develop  new
products  that  address new  technologies  and achieve  market  acceptance.  New
products and enhancements  must keep pace with competitive  offerings,  adapt to
evolving industry standards and provide additional functionality.  The inability
of the Company,  due to resource  constraints or technological or other reasons,
to develop and introduce new products or product enhancements in a timely manner
could  have a  material  adverse  effect on the  Company's  business,  financial
condition  or  results  of  operations.  From time to time,  the  Company or its
competitors may announce new products,  capabilities  or technologies  that have
the  potential to replace or shorten the life cycles of the  Company's  existing
products.  There can be no assurance that  announcements of currently planned or
other new products will not cause customers to defer purchasing existing Company
products.  Any failure by the Company to  anticipate  or respond  adequately  to
changing market conditions,  or any significant delays in product development or
introduction,  would have a material  adverse effect on the Company's  business,
financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Associated with New or Emerging Markets

From  time to time,  the  Company  embarks  on  product  development  for new or
emerging  markets.  Currently,  the Company is continuing to expend  substantial
time and financial  resources to develop product lines for applications that use
Internet  technology with embedded  microprocessors.  The Company has introduced
both   embedded   operating   software  and   development   tools  for  Internet
applications. The commercial Internet market has only recently begun to develop,
is rapidly changing and is characterized by an increasing number of new entrants
with competitive products. It is difficult to predict with any assurance whether
the Internet will prove to be a viable commercial marketplace, or whether demand
for Internet related  products and services will increase in the future.  If the
Internet market,  or any other new market targeted by the Company in the future,
fails to develop or develops more slowly than  anticipated or becomes  saturated
with  competitors,  or if the Company's  products and services do not achieve or
sustain  market  acceptance,  the Company's  business,  financial  condition and
results of operations would be materially adversely affected.

Competition.

The market for  commercially  available  software  tools and embedded  operating
systems is fragmented,  highly  competitive and is characterized by pressures to
incorporate new features and accelerate the release of new product versions. The
Company's  products  compete  with  software  developed  internally  by embedded
systems  manufacturers  and  software  offered  by  other  third  parties.  Many
organizations that internally  develop and maintain real-time  operating systems
have substantial  programming  resources and can develop  specific  products for
their needs.  Many of these  companies  have  significant  investments  in their
existing software and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
persuade existing and potential customers to replace or augment their internally
developed real-time operating systems with the Company's products. The Company's
principal  competitors for third-party  embedded  software and related tools are
Wind River Systems,  Inc.,  Microsoft  Corporation,  through its introduction of
Windows CE and Sun  Microsystems,  Inc.,  with its  acquisition  of Chorus.  The
MATRIXx product family competes with products offered by Mathworks  Incorporated
and a number of other  companies that provide design and analysis,  modeling and
simulation,  and code  generation  products.  The Company also  competes  with a
number of other  vendors that address one or more  segments of the system design
process,   including   vendors  that  have  modified  general  purpose  software
engineering products for real-time and control design applications.

As the  industry  continues  to develop,  the  Company  expects  competition  to
increase in the future from existing  competitors  and from other companies that
may enter the  Company's  existing or future  markets with similar or substitute
solutions that may be less costly or provide better performance or functionality
than the  Company's  products.  Some of the  Company's  existing and many of its
potential competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, marketing
and sales  resources  than the  Company and there can be no  assurance  that the
Company will be able to compete  successfully  against these  companies.  In the
event that price  competition  increases  significantly,  competitive  pressures
could cause the Company to reduce the prices of its products, which would result
in reduced profit  margins.  Prolonged price  competition  would have a material
adverse  effect on the Company's  business,  financial  condition and results of
operations. Also, run-time licenses, which provide for per-unit royalty payments
for each embedded system that  incorporates  the Company's  real-time  operating
systems,  may be subject to significant  pricing  pressures.  A variety of other
potential actions by the Company's  competitors,  including  increased promotion
and accelerated  introduction of new or enhanced products, could have a material
adverse  effect on the Company's  business,  financial  condition and results of
operations.


Acquisition-Related Risks

The Company  completed a number of  acquisitions  in fiscal year 1996 and one in
fiscal year 1997 and may complete  additional  acquisitions  in the future.  The
process  of  integrating  an  acquired  company's  business  into the  Company's
operations may result in unforeseen operating  difficulties and expenditures and
may absorb  significant  management  attention that would otherwise be available
for the ongoing development of the Company's business. Moreover, there can be no
assurance  that the  anticipated  benefits of an  acquisition  will be realized.
Future  acquisitions  by  the  Company  could  result  in  potentially  dilutive
issuances  of  equity   securities,   the  incurrence  of  debt  and  contingent
liabilities and  amortization  expenses related to goodwill and other intangible
assets,  which could have a material  adverse effect on the Company's  business,
financial condition and results of operations. In addition, acquisitions involve
numerous risks,  including  difficulties in the  assimilation of the operations,
technologies  and products of the

                                      -14-

<PAGE>


acquired  companies,  difficulties  in  managing  diverse  geographic  sales and
research and development operations,  the diversion of management attention from
other business  concerns,  risks of entering markets in which the Company has no
or limited  direct prior  experience  and the potential loss of key employees of
the  acquired  company.  From  time to time,  the  Company  evaluates  potential
acquisitions of businesses, products or technologies. The Company has no present
understandings,   commitments  or  agreements   with  respect  to  any  material
acquisition  of other  businesses,  products  or  technologies,  and no material
acquisition  is  currently  being  pursued  actively.  In the event that such an
acquisition were to occur, however, there can be no assurance that the Company's
business,  operating  results and  financial  condition  would not be materially
adversely affected.

Risks Associated with International Operations

In fiscal years 1996, 1997 and 1998, the Company derived approximately 34%, 38%,
and 41%, respectively, of its total revenue from sales outside of North America.
In the first quarter of fiscal year 1999 the Company  generated 45% of its total
revenue  from  sales  outside  of  North  America.   The  Company  expects  that
international  sales will continue to generate a  significant  percentage of its
total revenue in the foreseeable future. International operations are subject to
a number of special risks,  including  foreign  government  regulation,  reduced
protection of intellectual property rights, longer receivable collection periods
and greater difficulty in accounts receivable collection, unexpected changes in,
or  imposition  of,  regulatory   requirements,   tariffs,   import  and  export
restrictions  and other  barriers  and  restrictions,  potentially  adverse  tax
consequences,  the burdens of complying with a variety of foreign laws, staffing
and managing foreign operations,  general  geopolitical risks, such as political
and economic instability,  hostilities with neighboring countries and changes in
diplomatic  and  trade  relationships,  possible  recessionary  environments  in
economies  outside the United States and other factors beyond the control of the
Company. The Company generally  denominates sales to and by foreign subsidiaries
in local  currency,  and an increase in the relative value of the dollar against
such currencies, as has recently occurred, would reduce the Company's revenue in
dollar terms or make the  Company's  products  more  expensive  and,  therefore,
potentially  less competitive in foreign  markets.  In particular,  revenue from
sales in Japan during fiscal years 1997, 1998 and in the first quarter of fiscal
year 1999 were adversely affected by the weakness of the yen against the dollar.
Continued weakness of the yen could affect revenue from Japan during fiscal year
1999. The Company has little  experience in hedging its foreign  currency sales,
but has done so on a limited basis. There can be no assurance that the Company's
future  results  of  operations  will  not be  adversely  affected  by  currency
fluctuations.  In recent  months,  the  currencies of many countries in the Asia
Pacific  region have lost  significant  value  against  the dollar,  notably the
currencies  of Korea and  Taiwan.  As a  result,  the  Company's  sales in these
countries could be adversely  affected.  More generally,  recent  instability in
Asian currency and stock markets could  adversely  affect the economic health of
the entire region and could have an adverse  effect on the Company's  results of
operations.  The Company relies on distributors and representatives for sales of
its products in certain  foreign  countries  and,  accordingly,  is dependent on
their ability to promote and support the Company's  products and, in some cases,
to  translate  them  into  foreign   languages.   The  Company's   international
distributors and  representatives  generally offer products of several different
companies,  including  in some  cases  products  that are  competitive  with the
Company's products, and such distributors and representatives are not subject to
any minimum purchase or resale requirements.  There can be no assurance that the
Company's  international  distributors  and  representatives  will  continue  to
purchase the Company's products or provide them with adequate levels of support.

Risks of Product Defects; Product and Other Liability; Year 2000 Compliance

As a result of their complexity, software products may contain undetected errors
or compatibility  issues,  particularly when first introduced or as new versions
are released. There can be no assurance that, despite testing by the Company and
testing and use by current and potential customers,  errors will not be found in
new products after commencement of commercial shipments.  The occurrence of such
errors could result in loss of or delay in market  acceptance  of the  Company's
products,  which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial  condition  and  results  of  operations.  The  increasing  use of the
Company's  products for applications in systems that interact  directly with the
general public, particularly applications in transportation, medical systems and
other markets where the failure of the embedded  system could cause  substantial
property  damage or personal  injury,  could  expose the Company to  significant
product  liability  claims.  In addition,  the  Company's  products are used for
applications  in  mission-critical  business  systems  where the  failure of the
embedded  system  could be linked to  substantial  economic  loss.  The  Company
believes that all of its most current releases of its products will not cease to
perform nor  generate  incorrect or  ambiguous  data or results  solely due to a
change in date to or after January 1, 2000, and will  calculate any  information
dependent  on such dates in the same  manner,  and with the same  functionality,
data integrity,  and performance,  as such products do on or before December 31,
1999  (collectively,  "Year 2000  Compliance").  Year 2000 Compliance issues may
arise with  respect to any  modifications  made to the  Company's  products by a
party other than the  Company or from the  combination  or use of the  Company's
products with any other  software  programs or hardware  devices not provided by
the  Company,  and  therefore  may  result in  unforeseen  Year 2000  Compliance
problems for some of the Company's customers,  which may have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Company's license and other agreements with its customers  typically contain
provisions  designed  to limit  the  Company's  exposure  to  potential  product
liability  and other  claims.  It is likely,  however,  that the  limitation  of
liability  provisions contained in the Company's agreements are not effective in
all circumstances and in all jurisdictions.  The Company currently does not have
insurance  against product  liability risks or errors or omissions  coverage and
there can be no assurance  that such  insurance will be available to the Company
on commercially  reasonable terms or at all. A product  liability claim or claim
for economic loss brought against the Company, or a product recall involving the
Company's

                                      -15-

<PAGE>


software,  could  have a  material  adverse  effect on the  Company's  business,
financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, as with any company
with a computing  infrastructure  and  utilizing  business-application  software
programs  written over many years,  the  Company's  internal  operations  may be
subject to Year 2000 Compliance issues.  The Company's  operations are dependent
on its ability to protect its computer  equipment and the information  stored in
its  databases   against   damage  by  fire,   natural   disaster,   power  loss
telecommunications  failure,  unauthorized  intrusion,  and  other  catastrophic
events.  The Company believes it has taken prudent measure to reduce the risk of
interruption  in its operations.  However,  there can be no assurance that these
measures are sufficient.  Any damage or failure that causes  interruption in the
Company's  operations  could have a  material  adverse  effect on its  business,
financial condition, and results of operations.

Dependence on Key Personnel; Need for Additional Personnel

The  Company's  future  performance  depends to a  significant  degree  upon the
continued  contributions  of its key  management,  product  development,  sales,
marketing  and  operations  personnel.  The  Company  does not  have  employment
agreements  with any of its key  personnel  and does not maintain any key person
life insurance  policies.  In addition,  the Company believes its future success
will also  depend in large part upon its  ability to attract  and retain  highly
skilled managerial, engineering, sales, marketing and operations personnel, many
of whom are in great demand.  Competition for such personnel is intense in Santa
Clara County, California,  where the Company is headquartered,  and there can be
no assurance  that the Company will be successful  in  attracting  and retaining
such personnel. The failure of the Company to attract, assimilate and retain the
necessary  personnel  could  have a  material  adverse  effect on the  Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations.

Limited Protection of Proprietary Technology

The Company's success is heavily dependent upon its proprietary  technology.  To
protect  its  proprietary  rights,  the  Company  relies  on  a  combination  of
copyright,  trade secret,  patent and trademark  laws,  nondisclosure  and other
contractual  restrictions on copying and  distribution  and technical  measures.
Despite the  Company's  efforts to protect  its  proprietary  rights,  it may be
possible for  unauthorized  third parties to copy the  Company's  products or to
reverse  engineer  or obtain and use  information  that the  Company  regards as
proprietary.  Policing  unauthorized use of the Company's products is difficult,
and while the Company is unable to determine the extent to which software piracy
of its  products  exists,  software  piracy can be expected  to be a  persistent
problem. In addition,  effective protection of intellectual  property rights may
be  unavailable  or limited in certain  countries.  The status of United  States
patent  protection in the software  industry is not well defined and will evolve
as the United  States Patent and Trademark  Office  grants  additional  patents.
Patents have been granted on fundamental  technologies in software,  and patents
may  issue  that  relate  to  fundamental  technologies  incorporated  into  the
Company's products.

As the number of patents, copyrights, trademarks and other intellectual property
rights in the Company's industry increases, products based on its technology may
increasingly  become  the  subject  of  infringement  claims.  There  can  be no
assurance  that third parties will not assert  infringement  claims  against the
Company in the  future.  Any such  claims  with or without  merit  could be time
consuming, result in costly litigation, cause product shipment delays or require
the  Company to enter into  royalty or  licensing  agreements.  Such  royalty or
licensing agreements, if required, might not be available on terms acceptable to
the  Company,  or at all,  which  could  have a material  adverse  affect on the
Company's business,  financial condition and results of operations. In addition,
the  Company  may  initiate  claims or  litigation  against  third  parties  for
infringement of the Company's proprietary rights or to establish the validity of
the Company's  proprietary  rights.  Litigation to determine the validity of any
claims,  whether or not such  litigation  is determined in favor of the Company,
could result in significant expense to the Company and divert the efforts of the
Company's technical and management personnel from productive tasks. In the event
of an adverse ruling in any such litigation,  the Company may be required to pay
substantial damages, discontinue the use and sale of infringing products, expend
significant resources to develop non-infringing technology or obtain licenses to
infringing  technology.  The  failure  of the  Company  to  develop or license a
substitute  technology  could have a material  adverse  affect on the  Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations.

Dependence on Licenses from Third Parties. The Company licenses certain software
development  tool  products  from other  companies  to  distribute  with its own
products.  The inability of such third parties to provide  competitive  products
with  adequate  features and high quality on a timely basis or to provide  sales
and marketing  cooperation could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business,  financial  condition  and results of  operations.  In  addition,  the
Company's  products  compete with products  produced by certain of the Company's
licensors. There can be no assurance that, upon the termination or expiration of
these licenses,  such licenses will be available on reasonable  terms or at all,
or that similar  products could be obtained to substitute  into the tool suites.
The inability to license such products  could have a material  adverse effect on
the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Volatility of Stock Price

The prices for the Company's  common stock have  fluctuated  widely in the past.
The  management  of the Company  believes that such  fluctuations  may have been
caused by actual or anticipated  variations in the Company's  operating results,
announcements  of  technical  innovations  or new  products  or  services by the
Company or its competitors, changes in earnings estimates by securities analysts
and other  factors,  including  changes in  conditions of the software and other
technology  industries in general.  Stock markets have experienced extreme price
volatility in

                                      -16-

<PAGE>


recent years. This volatility has had a substantial  effect on the market prices
of securities issued by the Company and other high technology  companies,  often
for reasons unrelated to the operating performance of the specific companies. In
the past,  following  periods of  volatility  in the market price of a company's
securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against
such a company.  Such  litigation,  if  instituted,  could result in substantial
costs and a diversion of management attention and resources,  which would have a
material  adverse  effect on the  Company's  business,  financial  condition and
results of operations  even if the Company is  successful  in such suits.  These
market  fluctuations,   as  well  as  general  economic,  political  and  market
conditions  such as  recessions,  may  adversely  affect the market price of the
common stock.

Financial Statements are Based on Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  recorded  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities  at the date of the
financial  statements and the recorded  amounts of revenues and expenses  during
the reporting period. A change in the facts and circumstances  surrounding these
estimates could result in a change to the estimates and impact future  operating
results.
