NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
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 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 condensed consolidated 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.
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.
The preparation of condensed consolidated 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Certain amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of
January 3, 1998 and for the three months ended March 29, 1997, have been
reclassified to conform with the 1998 presentation.
Restatement of Financial Statements
In May 1997, the Company merged with Cooper & Chyan Technology, Inc. (CCT),
whose software products are used to design sophisticated integrated circuits and
high-speed printed circuit boards. The merger was accounted for using the
pooling of interest method of accounting. At the time of this transaction, the
Company believed that the operations of CCT were not material to the Company's
consolidated operations and financial position. Therefore, prior-period
consolidated financial statements were not restated and the results of CCT were
only recorded in the Company's consolidated financial statements prospectively
from the date of acquisition. Following discussions with the staff of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, Cadence has restated all prior period
financial statements as if the merger took place at the beginning of such
periods, in accordance with required pooling of interests accounting
disclosures. Reconciliation of the current condensed consolidated financial
statements and previously reported information is presented below:

In March 1998, the Company acquired Excellent Design, Inc. (EXD) and in
February 1998, the Company acquired Symbionics Group Limited (Symbionics). The
acquisitions were accounted for as business combinations using the purchase
method of accounting. The estimated fair value of the in-process technology
(IPR&D), of $42.0 million and $40.0 million for EXD and Symbionics,
respectively, was charged to expense in the quarter ended April 4, 1998 (the
period in which the acquisition was consummated). Subsequent to the Securities
and Exchange Commission's letter to the AICPA, dated September 9, 1998,
regarding its views on IPR&D, the Company had discussions with the staff of the
Securities and Exchange Commission and revised the purchase price allocations
and restated its financial statements. As a result, the Company has made
adjustments to decrease the amounts previously expensed as IPR&D in 1998 and
to increase goodwill and intangible assets by similar amounts.
The effect of these adjustments on the previously reported condensed
consolidated financial statements follows:

Revenue Recognition
Effective January 4, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Position (SOP)
97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition." SOP 97-2 provides guidance on applying
generally accepted accounting principles in recognizing revenue on software
transactions. The adoption of SOP 97-2 did not have a material impact on the
Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Acquisitions
In March 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of
Excellent Design, Inc. (EXD), a Japanese corporation, for cash. The total
purchase price was $40.9 million, and the acquisition was accounted for as a
purchase. The results of operations of EXD and the estimated fair value of the
assets acquired and liabilities assumed are included in the Company's financial
statements from the date of acquisition. Intangibles arising from the
acquisition are being amortized on a straight-line basis over five years.
Management estimates that $28.4 million of the purchase price represents
purchased in-process technology that has not yet reached technological
feasibility and has no alternative future use. Accordingly, this amount was
immediately expensed in the consolidated statements of operations upon
consummation of the acquisition. The value assigned to purchased in-process
technology was determined by identifying research projects in areas for which
technological feasibility has not been established. The value was determined by
estimating the costs to develop the purchased in-process technology into
commercially viable products, estimating the resulting net cash flows from such
projects, and discounting the net cash flows back to their present value. The
discount rate includes a factor that takes into account the uncertainty
surrounding the successful development of the purchased in-process technology.
If these projects are not successfully developed, future revenue and
profitability of the Company may be adversely affected. Additionally, the value
of other intangible assets acquired may become impaired.
In February 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of
Symbionics Group Limited (Symbionics), a U.K. corporation, for approximately
1.0 million shares of the Company's common stock and $21.3 million of cash. The
total purchase price was $46.1 million, and the acquisition was accounted for as
a purchase. The results of operations of Symbionics and the estimated fair
value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are included in the
Company's financial statements from the date of acquisition. Intangibles
arising from the acquisition are being amortized on a straight-line basis over
five years.
Management estimates that $28.5 million of the purchase price represents
purchased in-process technology that has not yet reached technological
feasibility and has no alternative future use. Accordingly, this amount was
immediately expensed in the consolidated statements of operations upon
consummation of the acquisition. The value assigned to purchased in-process
technology was determined by identifying research projects in areas for which
technological feasibility has not been established. The value was determined by
estimating the costs to develop the purchased in-process technology into
commercially viable products, estimating the resulting net cash flows from such
projects, and discounting the net cash flows back to their present value. The
discount rate includes a factor that takes into account the uncertainty
surrounding the successful development of the purchased in-process technology.
If these projects are not successfully developed, future revenue and
profitability of the Company may be adversely affected. Additionally, the value
of other intangible assets acquired may become impaired.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)
In 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income,"
which was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 1998. SFAS No. 130
requires companies to report a new, additional measure of income on the income
statement or to create a new financial statement that has the new measure of
income on it. "Comprehensive income" includes foreign currency translation
gains and losses and other unrealized gains and losses that have been previously
excluded from net income and reflected instead in equity.
A summary of comprehensive income (loss) follows:

</TABLE>
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income
(loss) by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the
period, and for diluted net income (loss) per share, net income (loss) is
divided by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding and potential
common shares during the period. Potential common shares included in the
diluted calculation consist of dilutive shares issuable upon the exercise of
outstanding common stock options, warrants, and put warrants computed using the
treasury stock method. For periods in which the Company had losses, potential
common shares from common stock options, warrants, and put warrants are excluded
from the computation of diluted net loss per share as their effect is
antidilutive.

The following is a reconciliation of the weighted average common shares
used to calculate basic net income (loss) per share to the weighted average
common and potential common shares used to calculate diluted net income (loss)

Had the Company recorded net income in the first quarter of 1998, dilutive
weighted outstanding options would have been 24.7 million shares and weighted
outstanding warrants and other dilutive contingent shares would have been 0.2

Contingencies
Refer to Part II, Item 1 for a description of legal proceedings.
Put Warrants and Call Options
The Company has authorized two seasoned systematic stock repurchase
programs under which the Company repurchases common stock to satisfy estimated
requirements for shares to be issued under its Employee Stock Purchase Plan
(ESPP) and the 1997 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan (the 1997 Plan),
respectively. Share repurchases are intended to cover the Company's expected
reissuances under the ESPP and the 1997 Plan for the next 12 months and 24
months, respectively.
As part of its authorized repurchase programs, the Company has sold put
warrants through private placements. At April 4, 1998, there were 4.8 million
put warrants outstanding which entitle the holder to sell one share of common
stock to the Company on a specified date and at a specified price ranging from
$23.29 to $24.34 per share. Additionally, during this same period, the Company
purchased call options that entitle the Company to buy one share of common stock
at a specified price to satisfy anticipated stock repurchase requirements under
the Company's systematic stock repurchase programs. At April 4, 1998, the
Company had 3.4 million call options outstanding at prices ranging from $23.42
to $24.47 per share. The put warrants and call options outstanding at April 4,
1998 are exercisable on various dates through February 26, 1999 and the Company
can elect to exercise the options prior to their expiration.
If exercised, the Company has the right to settle the put warrants with
stock equal to the difference between the exercise price and the fair value at
the date of exercise. Settlement of the put warrants with stock could cause the
Company to issue a substantial number of shares, depending on the exercise price
of the put warrants and the per share fair value of the Company's common stock
at the time of exercise. In addition, settlement of put warrants in stock 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, which may adversely affect the price of the
Company's common stock. At April 4, 1998, the Company had the ability to settle
these put warrants with stock and, therefore, no amount was classified out of
stockholders' equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Except for the historical information contained herein, the following discussion
contains forward-looking statements based on current expectations that involve
certain risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ
materially from those discussed herein. Factors that could cause or contribute
to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below in
"Factors That May Affect Future Results" and "Liquidity and Capital Resources."

Maintenance.................. 24% 28%
</TABLE>
In the first quarter of 1998, product revenue increased $46.0 million or
43%, as compared to the first quarter of 1997. The increase in product revenue
for the first quarter of 1998 was attributable primarily to increased demand for
products used by customers to develop integrated circuits (ICs) and deep
submicron designs, including design entry tools, custom layout tools, analog
design tools, automatic place-and-route tools, and verification tools.
Services revenue increased $18.6 million or 55% in the first quarter of
1998, when compared to the first quarter of 1997. The increase in services
revenue was primarily the result of increased demand for the Company's services
offerings throughout the world.
The increase in maintenance revenue for the quarter ended April 4, 1998, as
compared to the quarter ended March 29, 1997, was attributable primarily to an
increase in the Company's installed base of products and the sale of higher
priced maintenance contracts which on average require higher support levels.
Revenue from international sources was approximately $117.0 million and
$99.6 million or 43% and 51% of total revenue for the first quarters of 1998 and
1997, respectively. The increase in total revenue from international sources in
the first quarter of 1998, as compared to the first quarter of 1997, was
attributable to overall revenue growth partially offset by a $3.7 million
negative impact on revenue as a result of the weakening of certain foreign
currencies, primarily the Japanese yen, in relation to the U.S. dollar. The
decrease in revenue from international sources as a percentage of total revenue
for the first quarter of 1998, as compared with the first quarter of 1997, was
due to domestic revenue growing at a faster rate than international revenue.
Domestic revenue was approximately $153.2 million and $96.7 million for the
first quarters of 1998 and 1997, respectively, representing an increase of 50%
from 1997 to 1998. The increase in domestic revenue was attributable to
increased sales volume for products and services.

</TABLE>
Cost of product revenue includes costs of production personnel, packaging
and documentation, and the amortization of capitalized software development
costs. Cost of products increased for the first quarter of 1998, as compared
with the first quarter of 1997, primarily due to higher amortization costs
associated with software development costs.
Cost of services revenue includes personnel and related costs associated
with providing services to customers and the infrastructure to manage a services
organization, as well as costs to recruit, develop, and retain services
professionals. Cost of services revenue increased in total dollars due to the
continued investment in developing new services offerings and the addition of
services professionals by the Company, primarily through acquisitions and
increased hiring. Services gross margins have been and may continue to be
adversely affected by the Company's inability to fully utilize its services
resources and achieve operating efficiencies with its services resources. In
addition, services gross margins have been adversely affected by the cost of
integrating new services professionals and a growing number of services
offerings.
Cost of maintenance revenue includes the cost of customer services such as
hot-line and on-site support and the production cost of the maintenance renewal
process. Cost of maintenance revenue increased in total dollars and as a percent
of associated revenues primarily due to additional costs associated with
supporting a larger installed base of products and additional costs to provide
higher support levels to customers.

</TABLE>
The increase in marketing and sales expenses in the first quarter of 1998,
as compared to the same period of the prior year, was primarily the result of an
increase of $6.2 million in employee related expenses attributable to increased
headcount, commissions, and sales incentives, as well as an increase in sales
support costs in Japan of $2.9 million. The increase in marketing and sales
expenses in the first quarter of 1998 was partially offset by a $1.7 million
decrease resulting from the weakening of certain foreign currencies in relation
to the U.S. dollar in the first quarter of 1998, as compared to the same period
of the prior year.
The Company's investment in research and development, prior to the
reduction for capitalization of software development costs, was $47.2 million
and $36.5 million for the first quarters of 1998 and 1997, respectively,
representing 17% and 19% of total revenue, respectively. The increase in net
research and development expenses was primarily attributable to employee related
costs due to increased headcount of $5.5 million, facility costs of $3.4
million, and management information systems costs of $1.7 million. The Company
capitalized $5.5 million and $3.2 million of software development costs for the
first quarters of 1998 and 1997, respectively, which represented 12% and 9%,
respectively, of total research and development expenditures made in each of
those periods, resulting primarily from general increases in new product
development. In any given period, the amount of capitalized software
development costs may vary depending on the exact nature of the development
performed.
General and administrative expenses increased in the first quarter of 1998,
as compared to the same period of the prior year, primarily as a result of an
increase in consulting services fees for information services of $1.5 million
and employee related expenses of $1.5 million.

Acquisitions and In-Process Technology
In March 1998, Cadence acquired all of the outstanding stock of EXD for
cash. The total purchase price was $40.9 million, and the acquisition was
accounted for as a purchase.
Upon consummation of the EXD acquisition, Cadence immediately charged to
expense $28.4 million representing purchased in-process technology that had not
yet reached technological feasibility and had no alternative future use. The
value was determined by estimating the costs to develop the purchased in-process
technology into commercially viable products, estimating the resulting net cash
flows from such projects and discounting the net cash flows back to their
present value. The discount rate included a factor that took into account the
uncertainty surrounding the successful development of the purchased in-process
technology. The in-process projects were expected to be commercially viable on
dates ranging from the end of 1998 through the year 2000. Expenditures to
complete these projects are expected to total approximately $7.0 million.
At the time of its acquisition by Cadence, EXD was working on several
significant research and development projects that, if successful, would
represent the introduction of new products and technologies to meet tomorrow's
market needs. These efforts included the development of new tools for library
generation, delay calculation, memory compilation and semiconductor intellectual
property technology. These new technologies were intended to be fully
supportive of deep submicron design functions, which were a critical market
requirement. The nature of the efforts required to complete the research and
development projects relate, to varying degrees, to the completion of all
planning, designing, prototyping, verification and testing activities that are
necessary to establish that the proposed technologies meet their design
specifications including functional, technical and economic performance
requirements.
14
<PAGE>
In February 1998, Cadence acquired all of the outstanding stock of
Symbionics for approximately 1.0 million shares of Cadence's common stock and
$21.3 million of cash. The total purchase price was $46.1 million, and the
acquisition was accounted for as a purchase.
Upon consummation of the Symbionics acquisition, Cadence immediately
charged to expense $28.5 million representing purchased in-process technology
that had not yet reached technological feasibility and had no alternative future
use. The value was determined by estimating the costs to develop the purchased
in-process technology into commercially viable products, estimating the
resulting net cash flows from such projects and discounting the net cash flows
back to their present value. The discount rate includes a factor that took into
account the uncertainty surrounding the successful development of the purchased
in-process technology. The in-process projects were expected to be commercially
viable on dates ranging from the end of 1998 through the year 2000.
Expenditures to complete these projects are expected to total approximately $6.0
million.
At the time of its acquisition by Cadence, Symbionics was working on
several significant research and development projects that, if successful, would
meet future market needs. These efforts involve digital television, wireless
home networking, cellular roaming and digital voice technologies, which were
intended to insure the long-term success and survival of the organization. The
nature of the efforts required to complete the research and development projects
relate, to varying degrees, to the completion of all planning, designing,
prototyping, verification and testing activities that are necessary to establish
that the proposed technologies meet their design specifications including
functional, technical and economic performance requirements.
As evidenced by their continued support for these projects, management
believes Cadence is well positioned to successfully complete the remaining major
research and development programs. However, there is risk associated with the
completion of the projects and there is no assurance that each will meet with
either technological or commercial success.
The net cash flows resulting from the projects underway at EXD and
Symbionics, which were used to value the purchased in-process technology, were
based on management's estimates of revenues, cost of revenues, research and
development costs, selling, general and administrative costs, and income taxes
from such projects. The revenue projections are based on the potential market
size that the projects are addressing, Cadence's ability to gain market
acceptance in these segments, and the life cycle of in-process technology.
Estimated total revenues from the purchased in-process product areas peak
in years 2001-2002 and decline rapidly thereafter as other new products are
expected to enter the market. In addition, a portion of the anticipated
revenues has been attributed to enhancements of the base technology under
development, and has been excluded from net cash flow calculations. Existing
technology was valued at $9.1 million and $6.0 million related to the EXD and
Symbionics acquisitions, respectively. There can be no assurances that these
assumptions will prove accurate, or that Cadence will realize the anticipated
benefit of the acquisitions. The net cash flows generated from the in-process
technology are expected to reflect earnings before interest and taxes are
estimated to be approximately 31% to 39% for the sales generated from EXD's and
Symbionics' in-process technology.
The discount applied to the net cash flows to calculate their present value
was based on the weighted average cost of capital (WACC). The discount rates
used to discount the net cash flows from purchased in-process technology range
from 22% to 30% for EXD and Symbionics. The discount rates are sometimes higher
than the WACC due to the inherent uncertainties in the estimates, including the
uncertainty surrounding the successful development of the purchased in-process
technology, the useful life of such technology, the profitability levels of such
technology, if any, and the uncertainty of technological advances, all of which
are unknown at this time.
If these projects are not successfully developed, Cadence's business,
operating results and financial condition may be adversely affected in future
periods. In addition, the value of other intangible assets acquired may become
impaired.
To date, EXD's and Symbionics' results have not differed significantly from
the forecast assumptions. Cadence's research and development expenditures since
the acquisitions have not differed materially from
15
<PAGE>
expectations. The risks associated with the research and development are still
considered high, and no assurance can be made that upcoming products will meet
market expectations.
In 1997, Cadence wrote off $4.9 million of acquired in-process technology
associated with its acquisition of Synthesia AB. These costs reflected in-
process technology that had not reached technological feasibility and, in
management's opinion, had no probable alternative future use.
Other Income (Expense), net and Income Taxes
Other income (expense), net decreased in the first quarter of 1998, as
compared to the first quarter of 1997, primarily due to the $13.1 million gain
on the sale of Integrated Measurement Systems, Inc. (IMS) stock recorded in the
first quarter of 1997. Additionally, interest income decreased in the first
quarter of 1998 due to a lower average balance of invested cash and lower
interest rates.
The Company's estimated effective tax rate in the first quarter of 1998 was
28.5%, excluding the effect of the write-off of acquired in-process technology
of $56.9 million, which is not deductible for income tax purposes. This compares
to 30% for the same period of the prior year. The decrease in the effective
rate is due to the difference in tax rates between domestic and foreign
operations.
New Accounting Standards
Effective January 4, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Position (SOP)
97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition." SOP 97-2 provides guidance on applying
generally accepted accounting principles in recognizing revenue on software
transactions. The adoption of SOP 97-2 did not have a material impact on the
Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At April 4, 1998, the Company's principal sources of liquidity consisted of
$292.5 million of cash and short-term investments, compared to $304.2 million at
January 3, 1998, and a $110.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility.
As of May 8, 1998, the Company had no borrowings under the revolving line of
credit.
Cash generated from operating activities increased $40.1 million for the
first quarter of 1998, as compared to the first quarter of 1997. The increase
was due primarily to increases in net income excluding unusual items and other
non-cash charges, partially offset by changes in the balances of operating
assets and liabilities.
At April 4, 1998, the Company had working capital of $323.9 million
compared with $340.3 million at January 3, 1998. Working capital increases were
driven primarily by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of
$29.5 million. Working capital reductions were generated by a decrease in cash
and short-term investments of $11.7 million, a decrease in prepaid expenses and
other of $24.1 million, and an increase in deferred revenues of $10.6 million.
The decrease in cash was primarily due to the repurchase of the Company's stock,
capital expenditures, and acquisitions.
In addition to its short-term investments, the Company's primary investing
activities were acquisitions, purchases of property and equipment, purchases of
software, intangibles, and other assets, and the capitalization of software
development costs that in the aggregate represented $102.7 million and $29.9
million of cash used for investing activities in the first quarters of 1998 and
1997, respectively. Additionally, net proceeds related to the sale of IMS stock
contributed $18.6 million, which was partially offset by the loss to the Company
of IMS cash of $9.5 million due to deconsolidation.
As part of its authorized stock repurchase programs, the Company has sold
put warrants and purchased call options through private placements. The Company
has a maximum potential obligation related to put warrants at April 4, 1998 to
buy back 4.8 million shares of its common stock at an aggregate price of
approximately $114.2 million.
16
<PAGE>
Anticipated cash requirements for the remainder of 1998 include the
purchase of treasury stock through the exercise of call options for the
Company's stock repurchase programs and the contemplated additions of property,
plant, and equipment of approximately $70.0 million.
As part of its overall investment strategy, the Company has committed to
invest $50.0 million in a venture capital partnership as a limited partner over
the next three to four years. As of April 4, 1998, the Company had contributed
approximately $22.2 million, which is reflected in other non-current assets in
the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, net of operating losses.
The Company anticipates that current cash and short-term investment
balances, cash flows from operations, and the $110.0 million revolving credit
facility will be sufficient to meet its working capital requirements on a short-
and long-term basis.
Factors That May Affect Future Results
Rapid Technological Change; Dependence on New Products
The EDA industry and the commercial electronic design and consulting
industry in which the Company competes are subject to rapid technological
developments, evolving industry standards, changes in customer requirements, and
frequent new product introductions and enhancements. As a result, the Company's
future revenues and operating results will depend on its ability to develop or
acquire new products and enhance its existing products and processes on a timely
basis to keep pace with innovations in technology and to support a range of
changing computer software, hardware platforms, and customer preferences.
Changes in manufacturing technology may render the Company's software tools
obsolete. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able successfully
to develop new products to address new customer requirements and technological
changes, or that such products will achieve market acceptance. Lack of market
acceptance or significant delays in product development could result in a loss
of competitiveness of the Company's products, with a resulting loss of revenues.
Fluctuations in Quarterly Results of Operations
The Company's operating expenses are partially based on its expectations
regarding future revenue. Since expenses are usually committed in advance of
revenues, and because only a small portion of expenses vary with revenue, the
Company's consolidated results of operations may be disproportionately impacted
by lower than expected revenue. Factors that may affect operating results
include, among other things: (i) the timing and introduction of new products;
(ii) the mix of products and services sold; (iii) the timing of significant
orders from and shipments to or implementations for customers; (iv) product and
services pricing and discounts; (v) the timing of completion of acquisitions;
and (vi) general economic conditions. In addition, the Company's focus on
providing services is relatively recent, and therefore quarter to quarter
comparisons may not be meaningful. For example, the percentage revenue growth
from this source from 1996 to 1997 may not be indicative of future growth.
Although the Company's revenues are not generally seasonal in nature, the
Company has experienced, and may continue to experience, decreases in first
quarter revenue compared with the preceding fourth quarter, which is believed to
result primarily from the budgeting and expenditure cycles of the Company's
customers.
Highly Competitive Market
The Company operates in the highly competitive EDA industry and in the
emerging commercial electronic design and consulting markets. The EDA industry
continues to be characterized by falling prices, 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 take them to
market in a timely manner. The Company competes with a number of companies,
including Avant! Corporation, Mentor Graphics Corp., Synopsys, Inc., and Zuken-
Redac. The Company also experiences competition from manufacturers of
electronic devices that have developed and/or have the capability to develop
their own EDA software. Some of these companies may have substantially greater
financial, marketing, and technological resources than the Company.
17
<PAGE>
The EDA industry has relatively low barriers to entry, and, therefore, the
number of the Company's actual and potential competitors is significant. A
potential competitor that possesses the necessary knowledge of electronic
circuit and systems design, production, and operations could develop competitive
EDA tools using a moderately priced computer workstation and take such tools to
market quickly. There can be no assurance that development of competitive
products will not result in a shift of customer preferences away from the
Company's products, resulting in a significant decrease in the sales of the
Company's comparable products. In addition, there can be no assurance that the
Company will successfully identify new product opportunities, develop and take
new products to market in a timely manner and achieve market acceptance of its
products. Failure to do so may have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, operating results and financial condition.
In the electronic design and consulting markets, the Company competes with
numerous EDA and other consulting companies. This emerging market represents
the outsourcing of an activity by electronics manufacturers that has
traditionally been performed in house, and is thus subject to the customers'
"make versus buy" decisions. As a result, the Company's services business must
also compete with the internal design capabilities of manufacturers of
electronic devices, many of which have substantially greater financial,
marketing, and technological resources than the Company. Therefore, the
Company's ability to obtain such business is dependent upon its ability to offer
better strategic concepts and technical solutions, competitive prices, a quicker
response or a combination of these factors. There can be no assurance the
Company will be able to effectively compete in this area, and any failure to
compete in the electronic design and consulting market may have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results, and financial
condition.
The electronic design and consulting service businesses have relatively low
barriers to entry and, therefore, EDA and other electronics companies and
management consulting firms have entered and may continue to enter into this
market. The pricing model for services is susceptible to labor supply and
demand as well as the Company's continuing ability to provide competitive time-
to-market benefits to its customers. Some of the Company's current and
potential competitors in the electronic design and consulting services
businesses may have substantially greater financial, marketing, and
technological resources than the Company. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to compete successfully in these businesses, and any
failure to compete in this business may have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, operating results, and financial condition.
Risk of Services Business
The Company has recently increased its focus on offering electronics design
and consulting services. The market for such services in the electronics design
area is relatively new and evolving rapidly. In order to increase revenues and
sustain operating results from the Company's services business, the Company must
continue to gain market acceptance for its professional services, which will
depend substantially on its ability to offer better strategic concepts and
technical solutions, competitive prices, a timely response or a combination of
these factors. Failure to successfully operate its services business would have
a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results, and
financial condition.
The Company's professional services contracts generally reflect a high
amount of revenue per order. The loss of individual orders, therefore, could
have a significant impact on the revenue and operating results of the Company.
The timing of revenue from the Company's services business is also difficult to
predict because of the length and variability of the sales and implementation
cycles. In addition, a substantial portion of the Company's revenues from
services are earned pursuant to fixed price contracts. Variances in costs
associated with those contracts could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, operating results, and financial condition.
The professional services business is labor-intensive. Accordingly, the
ability to expand its services business is dependent on its ability to hire and
retain adequate professional services personnel. The market for professional
services personnel is highly competitive. In general, the high component of
salaries in the cost structure of the professional services business results in
lower gross margins than in the Company's software business.
18
<PAGE>
Risks Associated with Mergers and Acquisitions
The Company has been involved, and may in the future be involved, in a
number of merger and acquisition transactions. These transactions have been
motivated by many factors, including the desire to obtain new technologies, the
desire to expand and enhance the Company's product and services lines and the
desire to attract personnel. Growth through acquisition has several
identifiable risks, including risks related to integration of the previously
distinct businesses into a single unit, the substantial management time devoted
to such activities, undisclosed liabilities, the failure to realize anticipated
benefits (such as cost savings and synergies) and issues related to product
transition (such as distribution, engineering and customer support).
Realization of any of these risks in connection with an acquisition by the
Company could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
operating results, and financial condition.
Dependence on Key Personnel
The Company is dependent upon the efforts and abilities of its senior
management, its research and development staff and a number of other key
management, sales, support, technical, and services personnel. The Company has
recently increased its focus on offering professional services to its customers,
the growth of which is directly dependent on the attraction and retention of
personnel. The market for highly skilled employees is intensely competitive.
To the extent that the Company is not able to attract, retain, train, and
motivate highly skilled employees, directly or through acquisition, who are able
to provide EDA and other design services that satisfy customer's expectations,
the Company's business, operating results, and financial condition could be
materially adversely affected.
Risks of International Operations
The Company expects that international revenues will continue to account
for a significant portion of its total revenues. The Company's international
operations involve a number of risks normally associated with such operations
including, among others, adoption and expansion of government trade
restrictions, volatile foreign exchange rates, currency conversion risks,
limitations on repatriation of earnings, reduced protection of intellectual
property rights, the impact of possible recessionary environments in economies
outside the U.S., longer receivables collection periods and greater difficulty
in accounts receivable collection, difficulties in managing foreign operations,
political and economic instability, unexpected changes in regulatory
requirements and tariffs and other trade barriers. In addition, political or
economic conditions in a specific country or region, government spending factors
and natural disasters could have a material adverse impact on the Company's
future international business as well as the Company's international operations.
Currency exchange fluctuations in countries in which the Company conducts
business could also materially adversely affect the Company's business,
operating results, and financial condition. The Company enters into forward
contracts to hedge the short-term impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
Although the Company attempts to reduce the impact of foreign currency
fluctuations, significant exchange rate movements may have a material adverse
impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations.
Dependence on Proprietary Technology; Risks of Infringement
The Company's success is dependent, in part, upon its proprietary
technology. The Company generally relies upon patents, copyrights, trademarks,
and trade secret laws to establish and maintain its proprietary rights in its
technology and products. Cadence has a program to file applications for and
obtain patents in the United States and in selected foreign countries where a
potential market for the Cadence's products exists. The Company has been issued
a number of patents; other patent applications are currently pending. There can
be no assurance that any of these patents will not be challenged, invalidated or
circumvented or that any rights granted thereunder will provide competitive
advantages to the Company. In addition, there can be no assurance that patents
will be issued from pending applications, or that claims allowed on any future
patents will be sufficiently broad to protect the Company's technology. In
addition, the laws of some foreign countries may not permit the protection of
the Company's proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United
States. Although the Company believes the protection afforded by its patents,
patent applications, copyrights and trademarks has value, the rapidly changing
technology in the EDA industry makes the Company's future success dependent
primarily on the
19
<PAGE>
innovative skills, technological expertise, and management abilities of its
employees rather than on patent, copyright, and trademark protection.
Because of the existence of a large number of patents in the EDA industry
and the rapid rate of issuance of new patents, it is not economically
practicable to determine in advance whether a product or any of its components
infringe patent rights of others. From time to time, the Company receives
notices from or is sued by third parties regarding patent or other intellectual
property claims or is called upon to defend or indemnify a customer against such
a claim of a third party. If infringement is alleged, the Company believes
that, based upon industry practice, any necessary license or rights under such
patents may be obtained on terms that would not have a material adverse effect
on the Company's business, operating results, and financial condition.
Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that the necessary licenses would be
available on acceptable terms, or at all, or that the Company would prevail in
any such challenge. Many of the Company's products are designed to include
software or other intellectual property licensed from third parties, and it may
be necessary in the future to seek or renew licenses relating to various aspects
of its products. The inability to obtain certain licenses or other rights or to
obtain such licenses or rights on favorable terms, or the need to engage in
litigation could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
operating results, and financial condition.
Risk of Failure to Obtain Export Licenses
The Company is required to comply with the regulations of the United States
Department of Commerce with respect to the shipment of its products and other
technologies outside the United States to certain countries and certain end
users. Although to date, the Company has not encountered any material
difficulty in complying with these regulations, any difficulty in such
compliance in the future could have an adverse effect on the Company's business,
operating results, and financial condition.
Risks of Business Interruption
The Company's operations are dependent on its ability to protect its
computer equipment and the information stored in its databases against damage by
fire, natural disaster, power loss, telecommunications failures, unauthorized
intrusion, and other catastrophic events. The Company believes it has taken
prudent measures to reduce the risk of interruption in its operations. However,
there can be no assurance that these measures will be sufficient. Any damage or
failure that causes interruptions in the Company's operations could have a
material adverse effect on its business, operating results, and financial
condition.
Implementation of New Systems
The Company is currently in the process of transitioning to new computer
software for its financial, accounting, project system accounting, and order
management information systems. The successful implementation of these new
systems is crucial to the efficient operation of the Company's business. There
can be no assurance that the Company will implement its new systems in an
efficient and timely manner or that the new systems will be adequate to support
the Company's operations. Problems with installation or initial operation of
the new systems could cause substantial management difficulties in operations
planning, financial reporting, and management and thus could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results, financial
condition, and results of operations.
Year 2000 Compliance
The Year 2000 computer issue creates risks for Cadence, the full extent and
scope of which have not yet been fully assessed. In the event that internal
products and systems, or those products and systems provided by, or utilized by
third parties, do not correctly recognize and process date data information
beyond the year 1999, it could have a material adverse effect on Cadence's
business, operating results and financial condition.
To address Year 2000 issues, Cadence initiated a program designed to
address the most critical Year 2000 items that would affect Cadence's products,
its worldwide business systems and the operations of the following
20
<PAGE>
functions: research and development, finance, sales, manufacturing and human
resources. Assessment and remediation efforts regarding these critical items are
proceeding in parallel. Cadence is also creating a plan to work with critical
suppliers and customers to determine that such suppliers' and customers'
operations and the products and services they provide are Year 2000 capable or
to monitor their progress towards Year 2000 capability. Cadence has commenced
work on contingency plans to address potential problems with its internal
systems or with suppliers, customers and other third parties.
In 1997, Cadence commenced a program to inventory, assess, remediate and
test the Year 2000 capability of its products. As a result of those efforts,
Cadence believes that the most current release of Cadence's software products,
as set forth in the Year 2000 Software Compliance List (available on Cadence's
web site), are Year 2000 Compliant. Cadence defines the term "Year 2000
Compliant" to mean that the software will not: (A) cease to perform due solely
to a change in date to or after January 1, 2000, nor (B) generate incorrect or
ambiguous data or results with respect to same-century and/or multi-century
formulas, functions, date values and date data interfaces. Cadence does not
believe that customers are using a significant amount of products that are not
determined to be Year 2000 Compliant. Cadence continues to further validate
current products, as well as new products, products acquired through
acquisitions, such as Ambit and BLDA, and releases through testing and code
reviews. All Cadence Year 2000 activities concerning Cadence's products are
expected to be completed by October 1999.
In 1995, Cadence also commenced a worldwide business systems replacement
project with systems that use programs primarily from SAP America, Inc. (SAP),
PeopleSoft, Inc. (PeopleSoft), and Siebel Systems, Inc. (Siebel). The new
systems are expected to make approximately 70% of Cadence's business computer
systems Year 2000 Compliant. In addition, during September 1997, Cadence
commenced an investigation of the condition of Year 2000 readiness for all of
its other internal business applications. This effort began with an inventory
to identify current business applications, an evaluation of their Year 2000
readiness status and development of plans for remediation and testing of all
discovered issues.
It is estimated that the 1999 budget for Year 2000 related costs to resolve
remaining readiness issues will be approximately $13.0 million. The costs of
implementing the SAP, PeopleSoft and Siebel business application systems are not
included in these cost estimates. The total cost associated with required
modifications to become Year 2000 compliant is not expected to have a material
adverse effect on Cadence's business, operating results and financial condition.
Cadence's current estimates of the amount of time and costs necessary to
implement and test its systems are based on the facts and circumstances existing
at this time. The estimates were derived utilizing multiple assumptions of
future events including the continued availability of certain resources,
implementation success and other factors. New developments may occur that could
affect Cadence's estimates for Year 2000 compliance. These developments
include, but are not limited to: (a) the availability and cost of personnel
trained in this area, (b) the ability to locate and correct all relevant
computer code and equipment, and (c) the planning and modification success
needed to achieve full implementation.
Readers are cautioned that the foregoing discussion regarding Year 2000
Update contains forward-looking statements based on current expectations that
involve risks and uncertainties and should be considered in conjunction with the
following. The failure to correct a material Year 2000 problem could result in
an interruption in, or a failure of, certain normal business activities or
operations of Cadence. Such failures could materially and adversely affect
Cadence's business, operating results and financial condition. Due in large
part to the uncertainty of the Year 2000 readiness of third-party suppliers and
customers, as well as the lack of remediation and testing for the remaining
internal business systems which are not yet assessed as Year 2000 Compliant,
Cadence is currently unable to determine whether the consequences of Year 2000
issues will have a material impact on Cadence's business, operating results or
financial condition.
Cadence's risks associated with non-information technology systems and
embedded systems are generally limited to systems that typically involve
environmental control systems, interruptible power systems, elevator systems and
security systems. Cadence feels confident that through its research, testing,
and corrective actions, the realized risks from embedded systems will be low.

<PAGE>
The reasonably likely worst case scenario of a Year 2000 problem for all of
Cadence's material systems is that Cadence's operations could be disrupted for a
few days before the problem could be identified and remediated. The reasonably
likely worst case scenario associated with Cadence products for a Year 2000
problem is that a customer project could be delayed for a short period of time
before the problem can be identified and remediated by Cadence's support
process. Because of the small amount of software code that could be involved,
it is anticipated that problems will be remediated within 5 business days from
when the problem is recreated by Cadence's support organization. Cadence uses
contract terms to limit indirect damages that may be incurred by customers,
although no assurance can be given that such terms are enforceable.
Because of uncertainties with Year 2000 issues, Cadence is currently unable
to determine whether and to what extent the Year 2000 problem will harm its
business, operating results or financial condition.
Volatility of Stock Price
Due to the foregoing, as well as other factors, past financial performance
should not be considered an 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. Factors such as
fluctuations in revenues or operating results, including failure to meet
expectations of securities analysts, announcements of technological innovations
or new products by the Company or its competitors, or developments in or
disputes regarding patents and proprietary rights could have a significant
adverse effect on the trading price of the Company's common stock in any given
period. Moreover, the stock market has from time to time experienced extreme
price and volume fluctuations, which have particularly affected the market for
technology companies, and which have often been unrelated to the operating
performance of such companies. These broad market fluctuations, as well as
general economic, political, and market conditions may adversely affect the
market price of the Company's common stock.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Disclosures about Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
The Company's exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates
primarily to the Company's investment portfolio. The Company places its
investments with high credit quality issuers and, by policy, limits the amount
of credit exposure to any one issuer. As stated in its policy, the Company is
averse to principal loss and seeks to preserve its invested funds by limiting
default risk, market risk, and reinvestment risk.
The Company mitigates default risk by investing in only high credit quality
securities that it believes to be low risk and by positioning its portfolio to
respond appropriately to a significant reduction in a credit rating of any
investment issuer or guarantor. The portfolio includes only marketable
securities with active secondary or resale markets to ensure portfolio
liquidity.
The table below presents the carrying value and related weighted average
interest rates for the Company's investment portfolio. The carrying value
approximates fair value at April 4, 1998. All investments mature in one year or
less.

Foreign Currency Risk
The Company transacts business in various foreign currencies, primarily in
Japan, emerging market countries in Asia, and certain European countries. The
Company has established a foreign currency hedging program, utilizing foreign
currency forward exchange contracts (forward contracts) to hedge certain foreign
currency transaction exposures in Japan, Canada, Asia, and certain European
countries. Under this program, increases or decreases in the Company's foreign
currency transactions are partially offset by gains and losses on the forward
contracts, so as to mitigate the possibility of short-term earnings volatility.
The Company does not use forward contracts for trading purposes. All
outstanding forward contracts at the end of a period are marked-to-market with
unrealized gains and losses included in other income (expense), and thus are
recognized in income in advance of the actual foreign currency cash flows. As
these forward contracts mature, the realized gains and losses are recorded and
are included in net income as a component of other income (expense). The
Company's ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to currency fluctuations
will depend on the currency exchange rates and other factors in effect as the
contracts mature.
The table below provides information as of April 4, 1998 about the
Company's material forward contracts. The information is provided in U.S.
dollar equivalent amounts. The table presents the notional amounts (at contract
exchange rates) and the weighted average contractual foreign currency exchange
rates. These forward contracts mature in less than thirty days.

Swedish krona....................... $(1.1) 7.93
Singapore dollars................... $ 1.8 1.61
Italian lira........................ $ 2.2 1,789.88
</TABLE>
The unrealized gain (loss) on the outstanding forward contracts at April 4,
1998 was immaterial to the Company's consolidated financial statements. Due to
the short-term nature of the forward contracts, the fair value at April 4, 1998
was negligible. The realized gain (loss) on these contracts as they matured was
not material to the consolidated operations of the Company.
Equity Price Risk
As part of its authorized repurchase program, Cadence has sold put warrants
through private placements. Additionally, Cadence has purchased call options
that entitle Cadence to buy on a specified day one share of common stock at a
specified price to satisfy anticipated stock repurchase requirements under
Cadence's seasoned systematic repurchase programs.
Cadence repurchases shares of its common stock under stock repurchase
programs in order to make sure it has enough shares for issuance under its
Employee Stock Purchase Plan, its 1997 Stock Option Plan and for other corporate
purposes. This may result in sales of a large number of shares and consequent
decline in the market price of Cadence common stock. As part of these
repurchase programs, Cadence has purchased and will purchase call options or has
sold and will sell put warrants.
* Call options allow Cadence to buy shares of its stock on a specified day at a
specified price. If the market price of the stock is greater than the exercise
price of a call option, Cadence will typically exercise the option and receive
shares of stock. If the market price of the stock is less than the exercise
price of a call option, Cadence typically will not exercise the option.
23
<PAGE>
* Call option issuers may accumulate a substantial number of shares of Cadence
common stock in anticipation of Cadence's exercising its call option and may
dispose of these shares if and when Cadence fails to exercise its call option.
This could cause the market price of Cadence common stock to fall.
* Put warrants allow the holder to sell to Cadence shares of Cadence common
stock on a specified day at a specified price. Cadence has the right to settle
the put warrants with shares of Cadence common stock valued at the difference
between the exercise price and the fair value of the stock at the date of
exercise.
* Depending on the exercise price of the put warrant and the market price of
the stock at the time of exercise, settlement of the put warrants with stock
could cause Cadence to issue a substantial number of shares to the holder of the
put warrants. The holder may sell these shares in the market, which could cause
the price of Cadence common stock to fall.
* Put warrant holders may accumulate a substantial number of shares of stock in
anticipation of exercising their put warrants and may dispose of these shares if
and when they exercise their put warrants and Cadence issues shares in
settlement of their put warrants. This could also cause the market price of
Cadence common stock to fall.
The table below provides information at April 4, 1998 about the Company's
put warrants and call options. The table presents the contract amounts and the

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time the Company is involved in various disputes and
litigation matters which arises in the ordinary course of business. These
include disputes and lawsuits related to intellectual property, licensing,
contract law, distribution arrangements, and employee relations matters.
The Company filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the
Northern District of California on December 6, 1995 against Avant! Corporation
(Avant!) and certain of its employees for misappropriation of trade secrets,
copyright infringement, conspiracy, and other illegalities.
On January 16, 1996, Avant! filed various counterclaims against the Company
and the Company's former President and Chief Executive Officer, and with leave
of the court, on January 29, 1998 filed a second amended counterclaim. The
second amended counterclaim alleges, inter alia, that the Company and its former
President and Chief Executive Officer had cooperated with the Santa Clara County
District Attorney and initiated and pursued its complaint against Avant! for
anticompetitive reasons, engaged in wrongful activity in an attempt to
manipulate Avant!'s stock price and utilized certain pricing policies and other
acts to unfairly compete against Avant! in the marketplace. The second amended
counterclaim also alleges that certain Company insiders engaged in illegal
insider trading with respect to Avant!'s stock. The Company and its former
President and Chief Executive Officer believe that each has meritorious defenses
to Avant!'s claims, and each intends to defend such action vigorously. By an
order dated July 13, 1996, the court bifurcated Avant!'s counterclaim from the
Company's complaint.
On April 19, 1996, the Company filed a motion seeking a preliminary
injunction to prevent further use of Cadence copyrighted code and trade secrets
by Avant!. On March 18, 1997, the District Court issued an order in which it
granted in part and denied in part that motion. On September 23, 1997, the
United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit reversed the District
Court's decision and directed the District Court (a) to issue an order
enjoining the sale of Avant!'s ArcCell products and (b) to determine whether
Avant!'s Aquarius software infringes Cadence's code and, if so, to enter an
order enjoining the sale of that software. In an order issued on December 19,
1997, as modified on January 26, 1998, the district court entered an injunction
barring any further infringement of Cadence's copyrights in Design Framework II
software, or selling, licensing, or copying such product derived from Design
Framework II, including but not limited to, Avant!'s ArcCell products. On
February 19, 1998, Avant! Filed a petition for writ of certiorai to the United
States Supreme Court, requesting a review of the Ninth Circuit Court's decision.
On April 17, 1998, the Company filed its opposition to Avant!'s Petition with
the Supreme Court.
By an order dated July 22, 1997, the District Court stayed most activity in
the case pending in that Court and ordered Avant! to post a $5.0 million bond,
in light of criminal proceedings pending against Avant! and several of its
executives. The District Court has not yet set a trial date. The Company
intends to pursue its claim vigorously.
Management believes that the ultimate resolution of the disputes and
litigation matters discussed above will not have a material adverse impact on
the Company's financial position or results of operations.
Item 5. Other Information
In February 1998, the Company issued 1,013,108 shares of its common stock,
$0.01 par value per share, to the stockholders of Symbionics Group Limited

of 100% of the outstanding stock of Symbionics. The Company's primary purpose
in acquiring the Symbionics shares was the acquisition of Symbionic's product
development and design services for integration into the Company's services
offerings.
In December 1997, the Company issued an additional 12,796 shares of its
common stock, $0.01 par value per share, to the former stockholders of Synthesia
AB, a Swedish limited liability company (Synthesia), subject to certain rights
of indemnification and setoff under the agreement of acquisition pursuant to
which the Synthesia
