         NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 419,000 shares of the Company's common stock
valued at $4.6 million and $1.8 million of net advances made
to Redwood, prior to the acquisition, 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, 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 (Loss) 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.  Net loss per share is
calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding.  Fully diluted net
income (loss) per share is substantially the same as primary
net income (loss) per share.

5.   Inventories

Inventories, which consist primarily of testing equipment,
are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method)
or market.  Cost includes labor, material and manufacturing
overhead.  Inventories consisted of the following (in

6.   Commitments and Contingencies

Securities class action lawsuits were filed against the
Company and certain of its officers and directors in the
United States District Court for the Northern District of
California, San Jose Division, on April 8 and 9, 1991.  The
lawsuits, which were consolidated into a single action,
allege violation of certain federal securities laws by
maintaining artificially high market prices for the
Company's common stock through alleged misrepresentations
and nondisclosures regarding the Company's financial
condition.  Court rulings in response to the Company's
motions to dismiss the lawsuit limited the class period to
include purchasers of the Company's common stock between
January 29, 1991 and April 3, 1991.

On March 23, 1993 a separate class action lawsuit was filed
against the Company and certain of its directors and
officers in the United States District Court, Northern
District of California, San Jose Division.  This lawsuit,
which was consolidated into a single action with two
virtually identical lawsuits filed later in March and in
April 1993, alleges violation of certain federal securities
laws by maintaining artificially high market prices for the
Company's common stock through alleged misrepresentations
and nondisclosures regarding the Company's financial
condition.  On November 18, 1993, the District Court granted
the Company's motion to dismiss the 1993 complaint.  The
effect of the ruling was to dismiss the complaint except as
to a statement allegedly made on January 28, 1993, but
plaintiffs were granted leave to further amend their
complaint.

In April 1994 the Company entered into tentative agreements
to settle both of the above class action lawsuits for a
combined settlement of $16.5 million, of which approximately
$7.5 million was covered by the Company's insurance
carriers.  Reflected in the Company's operating expenses as
an unusual item at March 31, 1994 is the net settlement cost
of $9.0 million, $1.0 million of legal fees and $2.1 million
of additional settlement and legal costs expected to be
incurred as the result of a dispute with one of the
Company's insurance carriers.  In May 1994, after
negotiation, the Company's secondary insurance carrier
agreed to provide coverage on the second lawsuit.
Accordingly, the results of operations for the second
quarter ended June 30, 1994 included a $2.1 million credit
to operating expenses for the additional insurance proceeds
received and the reduction of accruals for legal expenses
relating to the provision taken in the first quarter.  The
total settlement amount has been remitted into escrow.

7.   Put Warrants and Call Options

The Company has an authorized stock repurchase program.  In
total, as of April 1, 1995, the Company had authorized the
repurchase of 20.2 million shares and approximately 12.4
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 1994 as part of its authorized stock repurchase
program, the Company sold 5.0 million put warrants through
private placement.  Each warrant entitles the holder to sell
one share of common stock to the Company on a specified date
at a specified price ranging from $13.13 to $20.59 per
share.  Additionally, during this same period, the Company
purchased approximately 3.8 million call options that
entitle the Company to buy on a specified date one share of
common stock, at a specified price ranging from $14.94 to
$22.84 per share.  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.  The put warrants and call
options outstanding at April 1, 1995 are exercisable on
various dates between April 1995 and November 1995.
<PAGE> 8

At April 1, 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.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
          Condition and Results of Operations

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenue for the first quarter ended April 1, 1995 was $116.0
million compared with $96.8 million for the same period of
the prior year, an increase of 20%.  Product revenue
increased $5.7 million from $56.4 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 1994.  The increase in product revenue was
primarily the result of increased demand for the Company's
top-down design (HDL), systems and automated test
engineering (ATE) products.  Service revenue increased to
$10.5 million for the first quarter ended April 1, 1995 from
$4.7 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 1994, an
increase of $5.7 million.  The increase in service revenue
was the result of increased demand for the Company's
Spectrum Services consulting business.  Maintenance revenue
was $43.4 million for the quarter ended April 1, 1995, an
increase of $7.8 million from the amount reported for the
quarter ended March 31, 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 $63.1
million and $53.5 million or 54% and 55% of total revenue
for the three months ended April 1, 1995 and March 31, 1994,
respectively.  In addition to increased sales volume in
Japan, $3.8 million of the $9.6 million increase in
international source revenue 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 quarter ended March 31,
1994.  Although the Company experienced increased revenue
from Japan in the first quarter of 1995 as compared to the
first quarter of 1994, there can be no assurance that the
Company's revenue volume in Japan will continue to
strengthen.  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 $11.9 million and $13.8 million for the
three months ended April 1, 1995 and March 31, 1994,
respectively.   The decrease in cost of product was the
result of a $.7 million decrease in product royalties and a
$1.0 million decrease in purchased software amortization due
to the write-off of purchased software in the first quarter
of 1994.  Cost of service increased from $4.6 million for
the quarter ended March 31, 1994 to $9.2 million for the
quarter ended April 1, 1995 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 $3.9 million
and $4.0 million for the quarters ended April 1, 1995 and
March 31, 1994, respectively.

Product gross margin increased from 76% in the quarter ended
March 31, 1994 to 81% for the quarter ended April 1, 1995.
As more fully described above, the improvement in gross
margin was the result of increased product revenue combined
with lower product costs in the first quarter of 1995 as
compared to the first quarter of 1994.  Service gross margin
increased from 4% for the quarter ended March 31, 1994 to
12% for the quarter ended April 1, 1995.  Service gross
margin for the first quarter of 1994 was adversely affected
due to the Company's addition of consulting services staff
at a faster rate than revenue growth.  Maintenance gross
margin increased from 89% in the first quarter of 1994 to
91% in the first quarter of 1995 due to the increase in
maintenance revenue while the cost of maintenance remained
relatively constant.

<PAGE> 9

In March 1995 the Company signed a five year $75 million
outsourcing agreement with Unisys Corporation 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.

Marketing and sales expenses increased to $42.2 million for
the quarter ended April 1, 1995 compared to $39.0 million
for the same period in 1994, an increase of 8%.  The
increase in marketing and sales expenses was the result of a
$4.4 million increase in employee related expenses of which
approximately $1.7 million was attributable to the effect of
the strengthening of certain foreign currencies in relation
to the U.S. dollar as compared to the quarter ended March
31, 1994.  The remaining increase in employee related
expenses was due to an increase in compensation expenses
that vary with bookings.  These increased costs were
partially offset by lower facilities related costs.

Research and development expenses for the quarter ended
April 1, 1995 were $20.9 million as compared to $18.2
million for the same period of the prior year, an increase
of 15%.  Capitalization of software development costs for
the quarters ended April 1, 1995 and March 31, 1994 were
$3.0 million and $3.4 million, which represented 13% and 16%
of total research and development expenditures made in each
of 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 $21.6 million for the three
months ended $23.8 million for the same period in the current year.  
The increase in 1995 was primarily due to $2.4 million of increased 
employee related expenses primarily resulting from increased 
headcount. These increased costs were partially offset by lower 
facilities related costs of $.7 million.

General and administrative expenses decreased to $9.5
million for the quarter ended April 1, 1995 from $10.6
million for the same period in 1994, a decrease of 10%.
This decrease was primarily the result of decreased bad debt
expense of $.5 million and decreased legal fees of $.2
million due to the settlement of the stockholder class
action lawsuits at the end of the first quarter of 1994.

In March 1994 the Company recorded a provision of $12.1
million for settlement of the stockholder class action
lawsuits filed against the Company and certain of its
officers and directors in 1991 and 1993.  This provision was
recorded as an unusual item within operating expenses in the
accompanying statement of income. The provision was
comprised of a net settlement amount of $9.0 million, $1.0
million of legal fees and $2.1 million of additional
settlement and legal costs expected to be incurred as the
result of a dispute with one of the Company's insurance
carriers.  In May 1994, after negotiation, the Company's
secondary insurance carrier agreed to provide coverage on
the second lawsuit.  Accordingly, the results of operations
for the second quarter ended June 30, 1994 included a $2.1
million credit to operating expenses for the additional
insurance proceeds received and the reduction of accruals
for legal expenses relating to the provision taken in the
first quarter.

Net other expense for the first quarter ended April 1, 1995
was $.4 million compared with $.3 million of net other
income for the same period in 1994.  The decrease in net
other income for the three month period ended April 1, 1995
was primarily the result of a $.5 million increase in
interest expense related to a secured loan obtained as part
of the Company's acquisition, in the fourth quarter of 1994,
of all third party interests in a real estate partnership
which owns certain of the Company's facilities.

The Company's estimated annual effective tax rate for fiscal
1995 and 1994 is 25%.

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 on its ability
to develop innovative, cost-competitive EDA software
products and to bring them to market in a timely manner.

In order to more effectively work with customers to help
them build optimized PDEs, the Company has realigned its
sales force along industry lines.  The Company expects this
industry focus will allow the sales force to better
understand and prepare solutions to its customers' business
needs thereby increasing revenue.  Should the benefits of
this realignment take longer to realize than expected, the
Company's revenues could be adversely affected.

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.  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 three months ended April 1, 1995 the Company's
cash and cash investments and short-term investments
increased $14.3 million from $96.9 million to $111.2
million.  This increase was primarily due to net cash
generated by operating activities exceeding net cash used
for investing (excluding purchases and maturities of short-
term investments) and financing activities.  Cash provided
by operating activities included a decrease of  $18.3
million in accounts receivable due to increased collections
and improved days sales outstanding.  Also included in the
cash generated by operating activities was a $17.4 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".  Cash used for financing activities included
approximately $21.4 million of treasury stock purchases and
the purchase of a warrant related to 1.0 million shares of
the Company's common stock for $12.1 million, partially
offset by $8.7 million of cash generated by the sale of
common stock through the exercise of stock options.

Working capital at April 1, 1995 was $18.4 million compared
to $27.5 million at December 31, 1994.  The decrease is
primarily the result of a decrease of $15.2 million in
accounts receivable and an increase of $18.2 million in
deferred revenue offset by an increase in cash, cash
investments and short-term investments of $14.3 million and
a decrease in accrued liabilities of $7.2 million.

The Company has an authorized stock repurchase program.
Prior to 1993, the Company had authorized the repurchase of
up to 2.8 million shares of common stock in the open market.
In 1993 and 1994, the Company authorized the repurchase of
an additional 4.0 million and 13.4 million shares,
respectively, of common stock from time to time.  In total,
as of April 1, 1995, approximately 12.4 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 1994, as
part of its authorized stock repurchase program, the Company
sold 5.0 million put warrants and purchased 3.8 million call
options through private placement.  The Company had a
maximum potential obligation related to the put warrants at
April 1, 1995 to buy back 5.0 million shares of its common
stock at an aggregate price of approximately $81.3 million.
The put warrants are exercisable on various dates between
April 1995 and November 1995.  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.  Subsequent to
April 1, 1995 1.0 million of the put warrants expired out of
the money and the Company repurchased approximately .8
million shares of common stock through the exercise of call
options for a total cost of approximately $17.8 million.

In addition to the $111.2 million in cash and cash
investments and short-term investments at April 1, 1995, the
Company had available $10.0 million under a bank line of
credit, which expires in June 1995.  The Company is
currently in negotiations with the bank regarding possible
extension/expansion of this line of credit, but there can be
no assurance that mutually acceptable terms can be reached.

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.  Excluding
the .8 million shares of common stock purchased subsequent
to April 1, 1995 and discussed above, the Company has the
right to purchase an additional 3.0 million shares through
the exercise of call options during 1995 at a cost of
approximately $55.0 million.  Other cash requirements for
the remainder of fiscal 1995 include contemplated additions
of capital equipment of approximately $30.0 million and the
repayment in August 1995, if not refinanced, of a $23.5
million secured loan assumed as part of a 1994 purchase of
corporate facilities.

The Company anticipates that current cash and short-term
investment balances, cash flows from operations and 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.

                  CADENCE DESIGN SYSTEMS, INC.
                    A Delaware Corporation
                1993 DIRECTORS STOCK OPTION PLAN
                   As Adopted July 22, 1993


     1.   Purpose.  This Stock Option Plan ("Plan") is
established to provide equity incentives for members of the
Board of Directors of Cadence Design Systems, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company") who are not employees
of the Company, by granting such persons options to purchase
shares of stock of the Company.

     2.   Adoption and Stockholder Approval.  This Plan
shall become effective on the date that it is adopted by the
Board of Directors (the "Board") of the Company.  This Plan
shall be approved by the stockholders of the Company within
twelve months before or after the date this Plan is adopted
by the Board.

     3.   Types of Options and Shares.  Options granted
under this Plan  (the "Options") shall be nonqualified stock
options  ("NQSOs").  The shares of stock that may be
purchased upon exercise of Options granted under this Plan
(the "Shares") are shares of the common stock of the
Company.

     4.   Number of Shares.  The maximum number of Shares
that may be issued pursuant to Options granted under this
Plan is 107,223 Shares*, subject to adjustment as provided
in this Plan.  If any Option is terminated for any reason
without being exercised in whole or in part, the Shares
thereby released from such Option shall be available for
purchase under other Options subsequently granted under this
Plan.  At all times during the term of this Plan, the
Company shall reserve and keep available such number of
Shares as shall be required to satisfy the requirements of
outstanding Options under this Plan.

     5.   Administration.  This Plan shall be administered
by the Board or by a committee of not less than two members
of the Board appointed to administer this Plan (the
"Committee").  As used in this Plan, references to the
Committee shall mean either such Committee or the Board if
no committee has been established.  The interpretation by
the Committee of any of the provisions of this Plan or any
Option granted under this Plan shall be final and binding
upon the Company and all persons having an interest in any
Option or any Shares purchased pursuant to an Option.

     6.   Eligibility.  The Directors Plan provides that
options may be granted only to such directors of the Company
(collectively, "Optionees" and individually "Optionee") as
the Committee shall select from time to time; provided,
however, that no director of the Company who is also an
employee of the Company or of any parent or subsidiary of
the Company may be granted an Option.  Optionees may be
granted more than one Option; provided, however, that the
aggregate number of shares subject to all Options granted to
an Optionee will be as follows: (i) 100,000 shares, in the
case of Options granted to the Chairman of the Board and
(ii) 50,000 shares, in the case of Options granted to any
other director.  Options will be granted on the date or
dates specified in Section 7(d) below. The provisions of
this Section 6 shall not be amended more than once every six
months, other than to comply with changes in the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended or the rules thereunder.
<PAGE> 16

     7.   Terms and Conditions of Options.  The Committee
shall determine all terms and conditions of the Option,
subject to the following terms and conditions:

          (a)  Form of Option Grant.  Each Option granted
under this Plan shall be evidenced by a written Stock Option
Grant ("Grant") in such form (which need not be the same for
each Optionee) as the Committee shall from time to time
approve, which Grant shall comply with and be subject to the
terms and conditions of this Plan.

          (b)  Exercise Price.  The exercise price of an
Option shall be the fair market value of the Shares, at the
time that the Option is granted, as determined by the
Committee in good faith; provided, however, that where there
is a public market for the Company's Common Stock, the fair
market value per Share shall be the average of the high and
low closing sales price of the Company's Common Stock on the
date of grant, as quoted on the New York Stock Exchange.

*Does not include 337,777 Options granted under the
predecessor plan (the 1988 Directors Stock Option Plan).

          (c)  Exercise Period.  Options shall be
exercisable as to 1/3rd of the Shares on the first
anniversary of the Grant Date and as to an additional 1/36th
of the Shares for each full month thereafter, and remain
exercisable for a period of ten years; provided, however,
that no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of
ten years from the date of grant, and provided further that
notwithstanding anything to the contrary, with respect to
the initial grant of an Option, if an Optionee ceases to
serve as Chairman of the Board but continues to serve as a
member of the Board, then Options to purchase in excess of
an aggregate of 50,000 shares ("Extra Options") held by such
Optionee shall terminate and may not be exercised, except
within the time periods and to the extent described in the
Grant, with the date of such cessation deemed the
Termination Date, and the fact of such cessation deemed the
cessation or termination of service as a Director, within
the meaning of those Sections with respect only to such
Extra Options.

          (d)  Date of Grant.  The initial Option grant to a
director shall be for 20,000 shares and such Option will be
deemed granted on the date of appointment to the position of
director.  Subsequent grants in increments of 15,000 shares
up to the maximum of 50,000 shares shall be immediately
after the date on which his or her outstanding options
become fully exercisable.  The date of grant of an Extra
Option for the Chairman of the Board and Chairman of the
Compensation Committee shall be immediately upon election to
such position, whichever is later, or upon stockholder
approval of an amendment to the Plan, authorizing such Extra
Option. The Grant representing the Option shall be delivered
to the Optionee within a reasonable time after the granting
of the Option.

     8.   Exercise of Options.

          (a)  Notice.  Options may be exercised only by
delivery to the Company of written notice and exercise
agreement in a form approved by the Committee, stating the
number of Shares being purchased, the restrictions imposed
on the Shares and such representations and agreements
regarding the Optionee's investment intent and access to
information as may be required by the Company to comply with
applicable securities laws, together with payment in full of
the exercise price for the number of Shares being purchased.

          (b)  Payment.  Payment for the Shares may be made
(i) in cash (by check), (ii) by surrender of shares of
common stock of the Company having a fair market value equal
to the exercise price of the Option: (iii) where permitted
by applicable law, by tender of a full recourse promissory
note having such terms as may be approved by the Committee;
or (iv) by any combination of the foregoing.

          (c)  Withholding Taxes.  Prior to issuance of the
Shares upon exercise of an Option, the Optionee shall pay or
make adequate provision for federal or state withholding
obligations of the Company, if applicable.

          (d)  Limitations on Exercise.  Notwithstanding the
exercise periods set forth in the Grant, exercise of an
Option shall always by subject to the following limitations:

               (i)  An Option shall not be exercisable
unless such exercise is in compliance with the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and all applicable state securities
laws, as they are in effect on the date of exercise.

               (ii) An Option shall not be exercisable until
this Plan has been approved by the stockholders of the
Company.

               (iii)     The Committee may specify a
reasonable minimum number of Shares that may be purchased on
any exercise of an Option, provided that such minimum number
will not prevent the Optionee from exercising the full
number of Shares as to which the Option is then exercisable.

     9.   Nontransferability of Options.  During the
lifetime of the Optionee, an Option shall be exercisable
only by the Optionee.  No Option may be sold, pledged,
assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any
manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution.
<PAGE> 17

     10.  Privileges of Stock Ownership.  No Optionee shall
have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to any
Shares subject to an Option until the Option has been
validly exercised.  No adjustment shall be made for
dividends or distributions or other rights for which the
record date is prior to the date of exercise, except as
provided in this Plan.  The Company shall provide to each
Optionee a copy of the annual financial statements of the
Company, at such time after the close of each fiscal year of
the Company as they are released by the Company to its
stockholders.

     11.  Adjustment of Option Shares.  In the event that
the number of outstanding shares of common stock of the
Company is changed by a stock dividend, stock split, reverse
stock split, combination, reclassification or similar change
in the capital structure of the Company without
consideration, the number of Shares available under this
Plan and the number of Shares subject to outstanding Options
and the exercise price per share of such Options shall be
proportionately adjusted, subject to any required action by
the Board or stockholders of the Company and compliance with
applicable securities laws; provided, however, that no
certificate or scrip representing fractional shares shall be
issued upon exercise of any Option and any resulting
fractions of a Share shall be ignored.

     12.  No Obligation to Retain.  Nothing in this Plan or
any Option granted under this Plan shall confer to any
Optionee any right to continue as a Director of the Company.

     13.  Compliance with Laws.  The grant of Options and
the issuance of Shares upon exercise of any Options shall be
subject to and conditioned upon compliance with all
applicable requirements of law, including without limitation
compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, any
required approval by the Commissioner of Corporations of the
State of California, compliance with all other applicable
state securities laws and compliance with the requirements
of any stock exchange on which the Shares may be listed.
The Company shall be under no obligation to register the
Shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission or to
effect compliance with the registration or qualification
requirement of any state securities laws or stock exchange.

     14.  Acceleration of Options on Acquisition.  In the
event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, a
merger in which the Company is not the surviving
corporation, or the sale of substantially all of the assets
of the Company, any or all outstanding Options shall,
notwithstanding any contrary terms of the Grant, accelerate
and become exercisable in full prior to the consummation of
such dissolution, liquidation, merger or sale of assets.

     15.  Amendment or Termination of Plan.  Subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 6 above, the Committee may
at any time terminate or amend this Plan in any respect
(including, but not limited to, any form of Grant, agreement
or instrument to be executed pursuant to this Plan);
provided, however, that the Committee shall not, without the
approval of the stockholders of the Company, increase the
total number of Shares available under this Plan (except by
operation of the provisions of this Plan) or change the
class of persons eligible to receive Options.  In any case,
no amendment of this Plan may adversely affect any then
outstanding Options or any unexercised portions thereof
without the written consent of the Optionee.

     16.  Term of Plan.  Options may be granted pursuant to
this Plan from time to time within a period of ten years
from the date this Plan is adopted by the Board of
Directors.
