                          CADENCE DESIGN SYSTEMS, INC.
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been
prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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. However, the Company believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These
condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein
reflect all adjustments (which include only normal, recurring adjustments) that
are, in the opinion of management, necessary to state fairly the results for the
periods presented. The results for such periods are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current
year presentation.

2.       CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR END

Effective December 31, 1994 the Company changed its fiscal year from December 31
to the 52-53 week period ending on the Saturday closest to December 31.
Beginning in fiscal 1995, each quarter will be 13 weeks in length. The effect of
the change is not material to the Company's current year financial statements.

3.       PURCHASE OF REDWOOD DESIGN AUTOMATION, INC.

In August 1994, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Redwood
Design Automation, Inc. ("Redwood") for approximately .6 million shares of the
Company's common stock valued at $4.6 million. Prior to the acquisition of
Redwood the Company made $1.8 million of net advances to Redwood which were not
repaid. Redwood was a development stage company formed to design, develop and
market software for use in electronic system design. The acquisition was
accounted for as a purchase, and the results of Redwood from the date of
acquisition forward have been recorded in the Company's consolidated financial
statements. In connection with the acquisition, net intangibles of $6.8 million
were acquired, of which $4.7 million was reflected as a one-time charge to
operations in the third quarter of 1994, for the write-off of in-process
research and development that had not reached technological feasibility and, in
management's opinion, such research had no probable alternative future use. The
one-time charge was reflected in the Company's statement of income for the
quarter ended September 30, 1994 as an unusual item within operating expenses.
The remaining intangibles of $2.1 million are included in purchased software and
intangibles in the accompanying balance sheet and are being amortized over a
useful life of two years.

4.       NET INCOME PER SHARE

Net income per share for each period is calculated by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding
during the period (calculated using the modified treasury stock method). Common
stock equivalents consist of dilutive shares issuable upon the exercise of
outstanding common stock options and warrants. Fully diluted net income per
share is substantially the same as primary net income per share. Net income per
share has been adjusted to retroactively reflect the three-for-two stock split
discussed in Note 8 to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

6.       PUT WARRANTS AND CALL OPTIONS

The Company has an authorized stock repurchase program. In total, as of
September 30, 1995, the Company had authorized the repurchase of 34.1 million
shares and approximately 24.6 million shares had been repurchased. The Company
repurchases common stock, in part, to satisfy estimated requirements for shares
to be issued under its employee stock option and stock purchase plans as well as
in connection with acquisitions.

Throughout 1995 and 1994, as part of its authorized stock repurchase program,
the Company sold 2.1 million and 7.5 million put warrants, respectively, through
private placement. As of September 30, 1995 6.0 million of these warrants had
expired out of the money. The remaining outstanding 3.6 million warrants entitle
the holder to sell one share of common stock to the Company on a specified date
at a specified price ranging from $13.73 to $26.39 per share. Additionally,
during 1995 and 1994, the Company purchased approximately 1.6 million and 5.6
million call options, respectively, that entitle the Company to buy on a
specified date one share of common stock, at a specified price. As of September
30, 1995 the Company had repurchased 4.5 million common shares pursuant to the
exercise of call options for $55.7 million. The remaining 2.7 million
outstanding call options range in price from $15.23 to $26.71 per share.
Subsequent to September 30, 1995 the Company sold an additional .5 million put
warrants which entitle the holder to sell one share of common stock to the
Company on a specified date at a specified price ranging from $32.99 to $33.03
per share and purchased .4 million call options that entitle the Company to buy
on a specified date one share of common stock, at a specified price ranging from
$33.33 to $33.37. The Company has the right to settle the put warrants with
stock, or a cash or stock settlement equal to the difference between the
exercise price and market value at the date of exercise. These put warrants and
call options are exercisable on various dates between November 1995 and April
1996.

At September 30, 1995 the Company has both the unconditional right and the
intent to settle these put warrants with stock, and therefore, no amount has
been classified out of stockholders' equity in the accompanying balance sheet.
Gains or losses from the exercise of these put warrants and call options are
reported in stockholders' equity.

Settlement of the put warrants with stock could cause the Company to issue a
substantial number of shares, depending on the amounts of the repurchase
obligations and the per share value of the Company's common stock at the time of
exercise. In addition, settlement of put warrants in stock or cash could lead to
the disposition by put warrant holders of shares of the Company's common stock
that such holders may have accumulated in anticipation of the exercise of the
put warrants or call options.

7.       INTEGRATED MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS, INC. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

In July 1995, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Integrated Measurement
Systems, Inc. ("IMS") sold to the public approximately 3.0 million shares of
common stock at $11 per share in a registered initial public offering. Of these
shares, approximately .4 million were sold by IMS and approximately 2.6 million
were sold by the Company as the sole selling stockholder of IMS. The sale
generated net proceeds to the Company, after underwriting, discounts and
commissions, of approximately $26.8 million and a pre-tax gain of approximately
$18.9 million, which is reflected as other income in the accompanying statements
of income for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1995. In addition,
IMS

<PAGE>   8

received net proceeds of approximately $3.8 million. As a result of the offering
and sale of shares by the Company, the Company's ownership interest in IMS
decreased to 55%. The minority interest liability related to IMS is recorded in
minority interest in the accompanying September 30,1995 balance sheet.

8.       SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On October 5, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors declared a three-for-two
stock split, payable October 30, 1995, in the form of a dividend of one
additional share of the Company's common stock for every two shares owned by
stockholders as of the record date, October 16, 1995. Par value remained at
$0.01 per share. The stock split resulted in the issuance of approximately 18.3
million additional shares of common stock from authorized but unissued shares.
The issuance of authorized but unissued shares resulted in the transfer of
approximately $.2 million from additional paid in capital to common stock,
representing the par value of the shares issued. Accordingly, all share and per
share data have been adjusted to retroactively reflect the stock split.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenue for the third quarter ended September 30, 1995 was $140.1 million
compared with $109.6 million for the same period of the prior year, an increase
of 28%. For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, revenue was $384.7
million, an increase of 25% from revenue of $307.4 million recorded for the same
period of 1994.

Product revenue increased $13.8 million from $60.5 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 1994 to $74.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1995.
For the nine month period ended September 30, 1995, product revenue was $202.1
million as compared to $173.5 million for the comparable period in 1994. The
increase in product revenue was primarily the result of increased demand for the
Company's top-down design (HDL), IC and automated test engineering (ATE)
products.

Service revenue increased to $17.0 million for the third quarter ended September
30, 1995 from $7.5 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 1994, an
increase of $9.4 million, or 125%. For the nine month period ended September 30,
1995, service revenue was $44.3 million as compared to $18.3 million for the
comparable period in 1994. The increase in service revenue was the result of
increased demand for the Company's Spectrum Services consulting business
relating principally to one outsourcing contract with Unisys Corporation
("Unisys") signed in the first quarter of 1995.

Maintenance revenue was $48.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1995,
an increase of $7.2 million, or 17%, from the amount reported for the quarter
ended September 30, 1994. For the nine month period ended September 30, 1995,
maintenance revenue was $138.2 million as compared to $115.6 million for the
comparable period in 1994. The increase in maintenance revenue was attributable
to an increase in the Company's installed base of products as well as the
Company's continued effort toward obtaining customer renewals of maintenance.

Revenue from international sources was approximately $68.3 million and $59.3
million, 49% and 54% of total revenue for the three months ended September 30,
1995 and September 30, 1994, respectively. For the nine month period ended
September 30, 1995, revenue from international sources was $193.3 million,
representing 50% of total revenue as compared to $163.6 million, representing
53% of total revenue for the comparable period in 1994. Sales volume increased
primarily in Europe for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 as compared to the
same period in the prior year and increased primarily in Japan and Europe for
the nine months ended September 30, 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994.
Although international sales volume increased for the quarter and nine months
ended September 30, 1995, the percentage of total sales related to international
sources decreased due to increased sales volume in North America as a percentage
of total revenues. In addition, $2.7 million and $11.6 million of the increase
in international source revenue for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1995, respectively, was due to the favorable impact on revenue of
foreign exchange rates as the result of the strengthening of certain foreign
currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar as compared to the same periods in the
prior year. It is anticipated that international revenue will continue to
constitute a significant portion of total revenue.

International revenues are subject to certain additional risks normally
associated with international operations, including, among others, adoption and
expansion of government trade restrictions, volatile foreign exchange rates,
currency conversion risks, limitations on repatriation of earnings and reduced
protection of intellectual property rights.

Cost of product was $11.6 million and $12.8 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1995 and September 30, 1994, respectively. The decrease was due to
lower royalty expense and other operating cost reductions. For the nine month
period ended September 30, 1995, cost of product was $34.2 million as compared
to $39.7 million for the comparable period in 1994. The decrease in cost of
product was partially the result of a $.8 million decrease in the amortization
of purchased software and capitalized software development costs and a $1.3
million decrease in product royalties expense.

Cost of service increased from $6.0 million for the quarter ended September 30,
1994 to $14.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1995. For the nine
months ended September 30, 1995, cost of service was $38.2 million as compared
to $15.4 million for the comparable period ended September 30, 1994. These
increases were due to the addition of Unisys personnel retained as part of the
outsourcing agreement signed in the first quarter of 1995 as discussed below. In
addition, the increases were due to additional employee related costs
attributable to increased headcount required to meet the higher demand for the
Spectrum Services consulting business.

Cost of maintenance was $4.2 million and $3.2 million for the quarters ended
September 30, 1995 and September 30, 1994, respectively. For the nine month
period ended September 30, 1995, cost of maintenance was $12.4 million as
compared to $10.8 million for the comparable period in 1994.

Product gross margin increased from 79% and 77% in the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 1994, respectively, to 84% and 83% for the same
periods ended September 30, 1995. As more fully described above, the improvement
in gross margin was the result of increased product revenue combined with lower
product costs in 1995 as compared to 1994.

Service gross margin decreased from 21% for the quarter ended September 30, 1994
to 15% for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 due to additional costs in 1995
as discussed above. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 1994 and
September 30, 1995, service gross margin decreased from 16% to 14%. In March
1995 the Company signed a five year $75 million outsourcing agreement with
Unisys to assume substantial portions of Unisys' internal silicon design
operation. As part of this agreement, the Company retained approximately 180
hardware and software designers and acquired fixed assets and certain
intangibles. While primarily focused on serving the needs of Unisys, the design
and service resources acquired by Cadence are also intended to be used to
support other customers' design needs. Until these newly acquired design and
service resources are more fully utilized through additional revenue contracts
or until further operating efficiencies are obtained, service gross margins are
expected to be adversely affected.

Maintenance gross margin was 91% for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1995 as compared to 92% and 91% for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 1994, respectively.

Marketing and sales expenses increased to $45.5 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 1995 compared to $40.6 million for the same period in 1994, an
increase of 12%. For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, marketing and
sales expenses were $130.4 million as compared to $119.0 million for the same
period in the prior year. The increase in marketing and sales expenses was the
result of an increase in employee related expenses, of which approximately $1.0
million and $4.7 million was attributable to the effect of the strengthening of
certain foreign currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1995, respectively, as compared to the same periods
in the prior year. The remaining increase in employee related expenses was due
to an increase in compensation expenses that vary with bookings. The increase
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 was partially offset by lower
facilities costs.

Research and development expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 were
$21.7 million as compared to $20.0 million for the same period of the prior
year, an increase of 9%. Capitalization of software development costs for the
quarters ended September 30, 1995 and September 30, 1994 were $2.9 million and
$2.1 million, which represented 12% and 10% of total research and development



9
<PAGE>   10

expenditures made in each of those periods, respectively. For the nine months
ended September 30, 1995, research and development expenses were $65.2 million
compared to $57.4 million for the same period in 1994, after capitalization of
$8.8 million and $8.2 million, which represented 12% and 13% of total research
and development expenditures made in those periods, respectively. The amount of
software development costs capitalized in any given period may vary depending on
the exact nature of the development performed. Gross research and development
expenditures before capitalization increased from $22.1 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1994 to $24.6 million for the same period in the
current year and increased to $74.0 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1995 from $65.7 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase
in 1995 was due to increased employee related expenses primarily resulting from
increased headcount. These increased costs were partially offset by lower
facilities related costs.

General and administrative expenses were $9.9 million for each of the quarters
ended September 30, 1995 and 1994. For the nine months ended September 30, 1995,
general and administrative expenses were $29.1 million as compared to $30.3
million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995, as compared to the prior year, was primarily the
result of decreased bad debt expense of $.7 million and legal fees of $.6
million due to the settlement of the stockholder class action lawsuits at the
end of the first quarter of 1994.

In 1994 the Company recorded a provision of $10.0 million for settlement costs
and legal fees related to two stockholder class action lawsuits filed against
the Company and certain of its officers and directors in 1991 and 1993. The
$10.0 million provision was recorded as an unusual item within operating
expenses in the accompanying statement of income.

Net other income for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 was $17.2 million of
income compared with $.2 million of income for the same period in 1994. For the
nine months ended September 30, 1995, net other income was $17.0 million as
compared to $1.0 million of income for the same period in 1994. The increase in
net other income for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30,
1995 was primarily the result of an $18.9 million pre-tax gain from the sale of
shares of common stock of the Company's subsidiary, Integrated Measurement
Systems, Inc. in a registered initial public offering and a $.7 million and $1.0
million increase, respectively, in interest income. These increases were offset
by a $1.5 million write-off of fixed assets recorded in the third quarter of
1995 and a $.5 million and $1.4 million increase for the quarter and nine months
ended September 30, 1995, respectively, in interest expense related to a secured
loan assumed as part of a 1994 purchase of corporate facilities.

The Company's estimated annual effective tax rate for fiscal 1995 is 28% as
compared to 25% in 1994. The 1995 and 1994 tax rates reflect the reduction in
the valuation allowance primarily from the utilization of net operating losses
generated in prior years.

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

The Company's operating expenses are partially based on its expectations of
future revenue. The Company's results of operations may be adversely affected if
revenue does not materialize in a quarter as expected. Since expense levels are
usually committed in advance of revenues and because only a small portion of
expenses vary with revenue, the Company's operating results may be impacted
significantly by lower revenue. Based on the Company's operating history and
factors that may cause fluctuations in the quarterly results, quarter to quarter
comparisons should not be relied upon as indicators of future performance.

The Company's future operating results are dependent on the Company's ability to
successfully implement its strategy to help its customers meet their business
objectives through optimized product design environments ("PDEs"). The Company
provides these PDEs through a combination of software products and services.
Inherent in implementing this strategy are a number of risks that the Company
must manage and which could affect its future operating results.

The Company competes in the highly competitive EDA market which continues to be
characterized by aggressive pricing practices, rapid technological change and
new market entrants. The Company's success is dependent upon its ability to
develop innovative, cost- competitive EDA software products and services, and to
bring them to market in a timely manner.



10
<PAGE>   11

Another important part of the Company's strategy is to help its customers
through an increased offering of services. While the Company has provided
services to its customers for a number of years, there are a number of risks the
Company must successfully address in order to develop this portion of its
business. These risks include the ability to successfully recruit, train and
retain a skilled consulting force and the ability to profitably deliver
consulting services that meet customer expectations. Growth of the service
business is constrained by the Company's ability to hire and train its
consulting force to keep pace with demand. The Company's profitability could be
adversely affected if it is unable to develop its consulting services business
as expected.

Due to the foregoing, as well as other factors, past financial performance
should not be considered a reliable indicator of future performance. In
addition, the Company's participation in a highly dynamic industry often results
in significant volatility of the Company's common stock price. Any change in
revenues or operating results below levels expected by securities analysts for
the Company or its competitors, and the timing of the announcement of such
shortfalls, could have an immediate and significant adverse effect on the
trading price of the Company's common stock in any given period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the nine months ended September 30, 1995 the Company's cash and cash
investments and short-term investments increased $28.3 million from $96.9
million to $125.2 million. This increase was primarily due to net cash provided
by operating activities exceeding net cash used for investing (excluding
purchases and maturities of short-term investments) and financing activities.
Cash generated by operating activities included an increase in accrued
liabilities of $19.4 million, a $16.1 million increase in deferred revenue
attributable to increased deferred maintenance due to a larger customer base and
continued focus on customer renewals and an increase in certain deferred product
revenue deferred in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants Statement of Position 91-1 entitled "Software Revenue Recognition";
and a decrease of $14.1 million in accounts receivable due to increased
collections and improved days sales outstanding. Cash used for investing
activities included $18.6 million for purchases of equipment, $8.8 million for
software development costs and $8.1 million for other assets and purchased
software. These uses of cash were offset by the net proceeds of $29.9 million 
received from the sale of stock of Integrated Measurement Systems, Inc., 
a previously wholly-owned subsidiary, in an initial public offering. Cash used 
for financing activities included approximately  $107.5 million of treasury 
stock purchases and the purchase of a warrant  related to 1.2 million shares 
of the Company's common stock for $17.2 million. These costs were offset by 
$21.6 million of cash generated by the sale of common stock through the 
exercise of stock options.

The Company had positive working capital at September 30, 1995 of $20.3 million
compared to $27.5 million at December 31, 1994. The decrease was primarily the
result of an increase of $20.8 million in deferred revenue and a decrease of
$13.0 million in accounts receivable, offset by an increase in cash, cash
investments and short-term investments of $28.3 million.

The Company has an authorized stock repurchase program. Prior to 1993, the
Company had authorized the repurchase of up to 4.2 million shares of common
stock in the open market. In 1993 and 1994, the Company authorized the
repurchase of an additional 6.0 million and 20.1 million shares, respectively,
of common stock from time to time. In addition, in August 1995, the Company
authorized the repurchase of an additional 3.8 million shares of common stock.
In total, as of September 30, 1995, approximately 24.6 million shares had been
repurchased. Some repurchases are necessary to satisfy estimated requirements
for shares to be issued under the Company's employee stock option and stock
purchase plans as well as in connection with acquisitions. During 1995 and 1994,
as part of its authorized stock repurchase program, the Company sold 2.1 million
and 7.5 million put warrants, respectively, and purchased 1.6 million and 5.6
million call options, respectively, through private placement. As of September
30, 1995, 6.0 million put warrants had expired out of the money and the Company
had repurchased approximately 4.5 million shares of common stock pursuant to the
exercise of call options for approximately $55.7 million. The Company had a
maximum potential obligation related to the put warrants at September 30, 1995,
to buy back 3.6 million shares of its common stock at an aggregate price of
approximately $73.5 million. The put warrants are exercisable on various dates
between November 1995 and March 1996. Subsequent to September 30, 1995, the
Company sold .5 million put warrants which entitle the holder to sell one share
of common stock to the Company on a specified date at a specified price ranging
from $32.99 to $33.03 per share and



11
<PAGE>   12

purchased .4 million call options that entitle the Company to buy on a specified
date one share of common stock, at a specified price ranging from $33.33 to
$33.37. Alternatively, the Company can elect to settle the put warrants with
stock which could cause the Company to issue a substantial number of shares,
depending on the amounts of the repurchase obligations and the per share value
of the Company's common stock at the time of exercise. In addition, settlement
of put warrants in stock or cash could lead to the disposition by put warrant
holders of shares of the Company's common stock that such holders may have
accumulated in anticipation of the exercise of the put warrants or call options.

At September 30, 1995, the Company had $125.2 million in cash and cash
investments and short-term investments. The Company's $10.0 million bank line of
credit expired in June 1995. The Company is currently in negotiations with
various lenders regarding a potential line of credit, but there can be no
assurance that mutually acceptable terms can be reached and that the Company
will have a bank line of credit available in the short-term.

Anticipated cash requirements for fiscal 1995 include the purchase of treasury
stock through the exercise of the Company's call options and in the open market.
The Company has the right to purchase 3.1 million shares through the exercise of
call options in the fourth quarter of 1995 and the first half of 1996 at a cost
of approximately $69.4 million. In November 1995, the Company paid off a $23.3
million secured loan assumed as part of a 1994 purchase of corporate facilities.
The Company is currently in negotiation with various lenders regarding a
potential $20 million secured loan, but there can be no assurance that mutually
acceptable terms can be reached. Other cash requirements for the remainder of
fiscal 1995 include contemplated additions of capital equipment of approximately
$5 million.

The Company anticipates that current cash and short-term investment balances,
cash flows from operations, and potential short and long-term borrowing
capabilities will be sufficient to meet its working capital and capital
expenditure requirements on a short and long-term basis. To the extent the
Company does not utilize bank lines of credit or borrowings to fund its
operations on a short-term basis, the Company may continue to reduce its current
cash and may experience future working capital deficits on a short-term basis.
