        NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Balance sheet information as of January 31, 1995 was
derived from the Company's audited consolidated financial
statements.   All other information is unaudited, but in the
opinion of management, includes all adjustments (consisting
only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present
fairly the results of the interim period. The results of
operations for the quarter ended July 31, 1995 are not
necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the
entire year.

   This report on form 10-Q should be read in conjunction
with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements
for the year ended January 31, 1995 and notes thereto
included in the Form 10-K Annual Report previously filed
with the Commission.

2. Inventories consisted of the following:

                             ===========       ==========

3. Net loss per share was based  on the weighted
average common shares and dilutive common share equivalents.
Common equivalent shares were excluded in periods with
losses as they were anti-dilutive.

4. Interest and other income for the three months ended
July 31, 1995 includes a $886,000 gain from the sale of
investment in Silicon Magic Corporation, a semiconductor
company.

5. The net losses for the three months and six months ended
July 31, 1995 include $4.5 million that was accrued for
obsolete inventories and other related costs in connection 
with plans to focus on chip set and OEM sales for the next 
generation of REALmagic products.  The net loss for the six 
months ended July 31, 1995 also includes $3.9 million that 
was recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 1996 related to 
the write down of certain assets of SDIS to net realizable 
value in connection with the sale of SDIS' assets and liabilities.


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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company had a net loss of $6.0 million ($0.79 per share)
on net sales of $4.9 million for the fiscal quarter ended
July 31, 1995 compared to net loss of $1.7 million ($0.23
per share) on net sales of $9.3 million for the same quarter
in the prior year.  The loss for the quarter was primarily due 
to accruals for obsolete inventories and other costs related to
plan to focus on chip set and OEM sales, and lower than expected 
sales. Sales of multimedia products represented 95% of net sales 
as compared with 70% for the same quarter last year.  Sales of
high-resolution display systems accounted for 5% of net
sales as compared with 14% for the same quarter in the prior
year.  Sales to one of domestic retail customer accounted for
15% of net sales in the quarter ended July 31, 1995.  The  
Company's international sales represented 56% of net sales in
the second fiscal quarter ended July 31, 1995 as compared with
17% in the comparable quarter of the prior year.  The increase
in the percentage of international sales was primarily due to 
stronger market acceptance of REALmagic products in Asia as
compared to domestic markets.  Sales to two international retail
customers accounted for 13% and 15% of net sales each in the 
fiscal quarter ended July 31, 1995.

In July, in connection with efforts to reduce operating costs
and focus in the direction of chip set and OEM sales, the Company 
reduced its work force by approximately 20%.  This effort was
necessary in order for the Company to focus its resources in the
areas where potentials for sustained growth and profitability
exist.

Also in July, the Company announced that its subsidiary, Sigma
Designs Imaging Systems,Inc., sold substantially all of its
assets and liabilities to Sigma Interactive Solutions, Corp., 
a Delaware Company.  After the transaction, Sigma Designs no 
longer participates in the document image management market; 
this is consistent with the Company's corporate objective of
focusing its resources and efforts in the MPEG-based multimedia
market where the Company believes that it will receive the 
highest expected return for its investment.

The Company's gross margin as a percentage of net sales for
the quarter ended July 31, 1995 increased to 20.9%
(excluding $3.7 million of inventory reserve which 
was included in the cost of goods sold) from 13.7% in the
same period of the prior year. The increase was primarily
due to a change in product mix to include sales of REALmagic
producer which has a higher profit margin.

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $854,000 (44.9%)
in the quarter ended July 31, 1995 as compared to the 
corresponding period of the prior year.  Most ofthe increase 
was due to $734,000 write off of advance royalties that had 
been paid to software developers and other costs related to
plans to focus on chip set and OEM sales.  Research and
development expenses for the quarter ended July 31, 1995
decreased by $57,000 (5.4%) as compared to the same period of 
the prior year.  The decrease was due to  reduced research and 
development efforts on new display systems by SDIS.  General 
and administrative expenses for the second fiscal quarter ended
July 31, 1995 decreased by $259,000 (36.0%) as compared to the 
same corresponding period of the prior year.  The decrease was
primarily due to reductions in costs related to the sale of 
SDIS, and the reversal of previously established reserves and
accruals for accounts receivable and commitments that were 
assumed by the purchaser of SDIS.

Interest and other income of $863,000 primarily consist of a
$886,000 gain from the sale of investment in Silicon Magic
Corporation, a semiconductor company.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company had cash and equivalents and short term investments 
of $8.1 million at July 31, 1995, as compared with $ 8.2 
million at January 31, 1995.   The Company's primary sources of 
funds to date have been cash generated from operations and
proceeds from  previous stock offerings.  The Company requires
substantial funds to continue to develop the market for its 
MPEG technology and to take advantage of the opportunities in
this market.  The Company believes that its current cash and 
cash equivalents, its existing $6.0 million cash-secured line 
of credit and a $6.0 million assets-secured line of credit will 
be sufficient to satisfy its needs until such time as the 
Company begins to generate cash from operations.  However, there 
can be no assurance that the Company will not require additional 
financing, or that required funding will be available on terms 
acceptable to the Company.  In the event that such financing is 
required by the Company but cannot be raised on acceptable terms, 
the Company could scale back the levels of investment in the 
development of these markets and continue to satisfy its needs 
with existing resources for the next twelve months.
