                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Ambit Design Systems, Inc.:

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related
consolidated statements of operations and shareholders' equity and of cash flows
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ambit Design
Systems, Inc. and subsidiary at June 30, 1998 and 1997, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the years ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management: our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

                           AMBIT DESIGN SYSTEMS, INC.
                   NOTES CONSOLIDATED TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 1.   FORMATION AND BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY:

      Ambit Design Systems, Inc. is in the business of developing,
      manufacturing, and marketing specialized Electronic Design Automation
      (EDA) application software products. The Company was incorporated under
      the laws of the State of California on June 14, 1994.

 2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

         PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION:

         The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ambit
         Design System, Inc. and its subsidiary (the Company). All significant
         intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the
         preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

         USE OF ESTIMATES:

         Preparation of the accompanying financial statements in conformity with
         generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
         certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
         assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
         liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
         amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual
         results could differ from those estimates.

         CERTAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES:

         The Company's products and services are concentrated in a single
         segment in the EDA sector of the high technology industry which is
         characterized by rapid technological advances, changes in customer
         requirements and evolving regulatory requirements and industry
         standards. The success of the Company depends on the management's
         ability to anticipate or to respond quickly and adequately to
         technological developments in its industry, changes in customer
         requirements or changes in regulatory requirements or industry
         standards. Any significant delays in the development or introduction of
         products or services could have a material adverse effect on the
         Company's business and operating results.

         CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK:

         The Company's cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 1998 and 1997
         are deposited with one U.S. financial institution and exceed federal
         insured amounts. The Company monitors customers' payment history and
         establishes reserves for bad debt as warranted.

                   NOTES CONSOLIDATED TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued:

         SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS:

         For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, one customer accounted for
         25%, of the Company's consolidated revenue. For fiscal year ended June
         30, 1997, another customer accounted for 55% of the Company's
         consolidated revenue. As of June 30, 1998, one customer accounted for
         28% of accounts receivable. As of June 30, 1997, another customer
         accounted for 40% of accounts receivable.

         FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

         The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments including cash
         and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued
         expenses, notes payable and other liabilities approximate fair value
         due to their short maturities.

         CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:

         The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original
         maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash
         equivalents.

         PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:

         Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated on a
         straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related
         assets, generally three to five years. Leasehold improvements are
         depreciated over the lease term or the useful lives of assets,
         whichever is shorter. Gains and losses upon asset disposal are taken
         into income in the year of disposition.

         REVENUE RECOGNITION:

         Revenues from the sale of software products are recognized upon
         delivery of the product if remaining vendor obligations are
         insignificant and collection of the resulting receivable is probable.

         Services and other revenues include software maintenance revenues and
         other service revenues, primarily from consulting and training.
         Software maintenance revenues are deferred and recognized ratably over
         the life of the service contract. Other service revenues are recognized
         as the related services are performed.

 2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued:

         RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS:

         Costs related to research, design and development of products are
         charged to research and development expense as incurred. Software
         development costs are capitalized beginning when a product's
         technological feasibility has been established and ending when a
         product is available for general release to customers. To date,
         completing a working model of the Company's products and general
         release have substantially coincided. As a result, the Company has not
         capitalized any software development costs since such costs have not
         been significant.

         ADVERTISING:

         Advertising expenditures are charged to operations as incurred.
         Advertising costs for fiscal year 1998 and 1997 were $351,760 and
         $166,935, respectively.

         INCOME TAXES:

         The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Under
         this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based
         on the differences between financial reporting and tax basis of assets
         and liabilities, measured at tax rates that will be in effect when the
         differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are
         established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts
         expected to be realized.

         RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

         In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
         Statement No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income". This statement
         established requirements for disclosure of comprehensive income and is
         effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
         after December 15, 1997, with reclassification of earlier financial
         statements for comparative purposes. Comprehensive income generally
         represents all changes in shareholders' equity except those resulting
         from investments or contributions by shareholders.

         Also in June 1997, the FASB issued FASB No. 131, "Disclosures about
         Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." This Statement will
         change the way companies report information about segments of their
         business in financial statements. It also requires entity-wide
         disclosures about the products and services an entity provides, the
         material countries in which it holds assets and reports revenues, and
         its major customers. The Statement is effective for fiscal years
         beginning after December 15, 1997.

 2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued:

         RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS, continued:

         In October 1997, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
         (AICPA) issued Statement of Position No. 97-2, "Software Revenue
         Recognition." This statement provides recognition and measurement
         guidance in accounting for revenue from selling, leasing or licensing
         of software and is effective for transactions entered into in fiscal
         years beginning after December 15, 1997.

         In March 1998, AICPA issued Statement of Position No. 98-4, "Deferral
         of the Effective Date of a Provision of SOP 97-2." This statement
         applies to all multiple element software arrangement and is effective
         as of March 31, 1998.

         The Company is evaluating the impact, if any, of the above
         pronouncement on its financial statements.

         Rent expense was $688,800 and $231,373 for the years ended June 30,
         1998 and 1997, respectively.

         CONTINGENCY:

         In July 1997, a former officer filed suit against the Company and
         certain officers, alleging claims for breach of fiduciary duty and
         interference with contract. The Company accrued approximately $480,000
         for the estimated cost to settle this litigation in fiscal year 1997.

         In fiscal year 1998, the Company entered into a settlement agreement
         with the former employee. Under the settlement agreement, the Company
         granted the employee the right to purchase 157,894 shares of Series E
         preferred stock at $0.95 per share. This purchase price was below the
         fair value of the Company's preferred stock of $4.00 per share at the
         date of grant. The excess of the fair value of the Series E preferred
         stock over the purchase price of $481,577 represents the actual cost to
         settle this litigation. In June 1998, the former employee exercised the
         right to purchase these shares.

 5.   NOTES PAYABLE:

      In October 1996, the Company negotiated a $250,000 Equipment Line of
      Credit with Silicon Valley Bank. The terms of the agreement allowed the
      Company to make draws against the Equipment Line of Credit on an interest
      only basis until March 31, 1997 at which time the outstanding balance was
      converted to a term loan with monthly payments of principal and interest
      over 30 months. The interest rate on the loan as of June 30, 1998 was
      10.25% (the bank's prime rate plus 2 1/2%). The outstanding balance on

         Under the 1994 Stock Option Plan (the Plan), the Company initially
         reserved 4,100,000, common shares for issuance to employees, officers,
         directors, and consultants of the Company. In fiscal year 1996 and
         1998, the Company reserved an additional 900,000 and 1,500,000 shares,

         restated) bringing the cumulative shares reserved for issuance to
         employees, officers, directors, and consultants of the Company to
         6,500,000 shares.

         Options granted under the Plan generally are exercisable to the extent
         of 25% of the shares granted twelve months from the vesting
         commencement date and the remainder to the extent of 1/36th of the
         options granted each month thereafter, such that all options granted
         will be exercisable four years from the vesting commencement date.
         Options granted expire ten years from the date of grant.

         Under the Plan incentive options to purchase the Company's common stock
         may be granted to employees at prices not lower than fair market value
         at the date of grant, as determined by the Board of Directors.
         Nonqualified stock options (options that do not qualify as incentive
         stock option) may be granted to employees, directors, and consultants,
         at prices not lower than 85% of fair market value at the date of grant,
         as determined by the Board of Directors. The Board also has the
         authority to set the term of the options (no longer than ten years from

         STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION:

         The Company has adopted the disclosure only provisions of Statement of
         Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS No. 123) "Accounting for
         Stock-Based Compensation." Had compensation costs been determined based
         on the fair value at the grant date for awards in 1998 and 1997,
         consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company's net loss
         for the year ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 would not have been
         materially different from the reported net loss.

         As the provisions of SFAS No. 123 are only applied to stock options
         granted after January 1, 1995 in the above pro forma amounts, the
         impact of the pro forma stock compensation cost will likely continue to
         increase, assuming future option grants, as the vesting period for the
         Company's options and the period over which the stock compensation is
         charged to expense is generally four years.

         The fair value of each option grant has been estimated on the date of
         the grant using the minimum value method with the following weighted
         average assumptions for year ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.

      state credits of approximately $186,000 and $176,000 respectively,
      available to offset future regular and alternative minimum taxable income.

      The Company has established a 100% valuation allowance because at this
      time it appears more likely than not that no benefit will be realized for
      its deferred tax assets.


 9.   EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:

      The Company maintains a Profit Sharing Salary Deferral 401(k) Plan for all
      of its employees. This Plan allows eligible employees to defer up to 15%,
      but no greater than $9,500, of their pretax compensation in certain
      investments at the discretion of the employee. Under the 401(k) Plan the
      Company is not required to make Plan contributions. The Company has not
      made any contributions to the Plan as of June 30, 1998.

10.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

      The Company earned revenues of $560,816 and $143,332 in fiscal year 1998
      and fiscal 1997, respectively, from a customer who is also a holder of
      1,430,723 shares of Series G preferred stock.

      In December 1997, the Company issued 500,000 shares of Series I preferred
      stock to a customer for $2,000,000 and recognized revenues of $2,595,524
      from this customer in fiscal year 1998. In March 1998, the Company also
      issued 500,000 shares of Series H preferred stock to another customer and
      its affiliates for $2,000,000 and recognized revenues of $931,220 from
      this customer and its affiliates in fiscal year 1998.

                    UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

CADENCE AND AMBIT UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

         On September 30, 1998, Cadence Design Systems, Inc. ("Cadence") 
acquired Ambit Design Systems, Inc. ("Ambit"), a privately held California 
corporation that specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing 
specialized Electronic Design Automation (EDA) application software products. 
The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. The following unaudited pro 
forma combined financial statements give effect to the acquisition and should 
be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and related 
notes thereto for both Cadence and Ambit.

         The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations 
for the fiscal year ended January 3, 1998 and the nine-month period ended 
October 3, 1998 give effect to the acquisition as if the acquisition was 
completed at the beginning of each period, and combines Cadence's and Ambit's 
statements of operations for each company's respective period. The required 
pro forma balance sheet with respect to the acquired business is incorporated 
by reference to Cadence's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended 
October 3, 1998 filed with the Commission on November 16, 1998. The pro forma 
combined results for the nine-month period ended October 3, 1998 excludes 
acquisition-related charges of $214.4 million for purchased in-process 
technology related to Ambit.

         This method of combining historical financial statements for the 
preparation of the pro forma condensed combined financial statements is for 
presentation only. Actual statements of operations of the companies will be 
combined from the acquisition date with no retroactive restatements. The

       NOTES TO THE PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The pro forma condensed combined 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 consolidated 
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 pro forma 
condensed combined financial statements should 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 fiscal year ended January 3, 
1998 and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended October 3, 
1998.

         The preparation of pro forma condensed combined financial statements 
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires 
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts 
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities 
at the date of the pro forma condensed combined financial statements and the 
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual 
results could differ from those estimates.

PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

         Certain pro forma adjustments have been made to the accompanying pro 
forma condensed combined Statements of Operations as described below:

         a)   Reflects amortization of goodwill and identified intangible assets
              for nine month period ended October 3, 1998 ($5.2 million per year
              for 7 years).

         b)   Reflects amortization of goodwill and identified intangible assets
              for twelve month period ended January 3, 1998 ($5.2 million per
              year for 7 years).

         c)   Reflects tax benefit at the statutory rate of 40% relating to the
              pro forma adjustments.

             Cash payment to Ambit Shareholders              $      252,990

IN-PROCESS TECHNOLOGY

         The acquisition of Ambit was accounted for as a purchase, allocating 
the purchase price based upon the estimated fair value of the assets acquired 
and the liabilities assumed. In connection with the acquisition, net 
intangibles of $250.9 million were acquired. Management estimates that $214.4 
million of the purchased intangibles was purchased in-process technology that 
had not yet reached technological feasibility and has no alternative future 
use. This amount was expensed in the period ended October 3, 1998 but is 
excluded from the pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for 
that period included herein. The value assigned to purchased in-process 
technology, based on a valuation prepared by a third-party appraisal company, 
was determined by identifying research projects in areas for which 
technological feasibility has not been established. The remaining intangible 
assets of $36.5 million were assigned to goodwill and identified intangible 
assets and will be amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated 
useful lives of seven years. Management believes that the unamortized balance 
is recoverable through future operating results. If these projects are not 
successfully developed, business, operating results, and financial condition 
of the Company may be adversely affected. Additionally, the value of the 
other intangible assets acquired may become impaired.
