             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The unaudited, condensed, consolidated financial statements included herein
have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information or footnote disclosure
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such
rules and regulations. The statements reflect all adjustments of a normal and
recurring nature which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair
statement of the results for the interim periods presented. These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year 1995 as filed with the Commission on March 30,
1996. The interim results presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the
results of operations that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending
December 31, 1996 or any other future periods.

NET INCOME PER SHARE

     Net income per share is based on the weighted average number of common and
dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the periods. Common
equivalent shares include common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options
using the treasury stock method.

PURCHASE OF UNICAD, INC.

     On August 28, 1996, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of
UniCAD, Inc. ("UniCAD"), a privately held company engaged in the development,
marketing and support of electrical integrity, analysis and optimization
software tools for PCB design. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company
issued 389,462 shares of its common stock to the stockholders of UniCAD.
Additionally, the Company assumed all outstanding options under the UniCAD stock
option plan which will result in the issuance of 71,273 additional shares of the
Company's common stock as the options are vested and exercised. The transaction
was structured to be a tax-free reorganization and was accounted for as a
pooling of interests. Due to the differing year-ends of the Company and UniCAD,
financial information for dissimilar periods has been combined. UniCAD's results
of operations for the nine month period ended June 30, 1995, has been combined
with the Company's results of operations for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1995. Balance sheet information as of December 31, 1995 includes
the financial position of UniCAD as of September 30, 1995. Accordingly, the
Company's statement of cash flows includes an adjustment to reflect the movement
in retained earnings for UniCAD for the period of three months ended December
31, 1995.

LITIGATION WITH CADENCE

     On July 29, 1996, the Company was sued by Cadence Design Systems, Inc.
("Cadence") in the Superior Court of Santa Clara County (Case No. CV759629) in
California. The complaint sought to enjoin the Company from selling a translator
that was created by a third party that allows the Company's integrated circuit
routing software (IC Craftsman) to connect to Cadence's software. The complaint
alleged that the product was not authorized by Cadence's license agreements with
the third party or the Company. The Company has sold the translator with a
limited number of IC Craftsman products over the last 11 months. The complaint
also sought unspecified damages from the Company.

     On September 12, 1996, the Company and Cadence settled the lawsuit filed
against the Company by Cadence. The Company's legal costs related to the lawsuit
are approximately $350,000 and are reflected in the financial statements for the
quarter ended September 30, 1996. The lawsuit and settlement are not expected to
have a material adverse impact on the Company's future results of operations or
financial condition.


AGREEMENT TO MERGE WITH CADENCE

     On October 28, 1996, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to be
acquired by Cadence, a leading supplier of business solutions for the design of
electronic components and systems. Under the terms of the agreement, each share
of CCT common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective
time of the acquisition will be exchanged for 0.85 shares of Cadence common
stock (with cash being payable for any fractional shares), and each option to
purchase shares of CCT common stock will be assumed by Cadence and will be
converted into an option to purchase that number of shares of Cadence common
stock determined by multiplying the number of shares of CCT common stock subject
to such option immediately prior to the effective time of the acquisition by
0.85. Based on the number of outstanding shares of CCT common stock and CCT
options on October 28, 1996, it is anticipated that Cadence will issue
approximately 11.0 million shares of Cadence common stock and assume employee
stock options to purchase approximately 1.9 million shares of Cadence common
stock.

     The acquisition was structured to be a tax-free reorganization and will be
accounted for as a pooling of interests. Consummation of the acquisition is
subject to review by the United States Department of Justice under the Hart-
Scott-

                                                                          Page 6

Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, approval by the
stockholders of the Company, and certain other closing conditions set forth in
the definitive agreement. Upon completion of the acquisition, the Company will
become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cadence.

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

OVERVIEW

     Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters
discussed in this Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements that involve risks
and uncertainties, including the timely availability and acceptance of new
products, the impact of competitive products and pricing, the management of
growth and the other risks detailed herein. The actual results that the Company
achieves may differ materially from any forward-looking statements due to such
risks and uncertainties.

     The Company develops, markets and supports software tools that help
designers route the physical wiring interconnections within high performance
printed circuit boards ("PCBs") and integrated circuits ("ICs"). The Company was
founded in 1989 and licensed its first product, SPECCTRA, for the PCB market in
December 1989. The Company has subsequently developed and released several new
versions of the product. As of September 30, 1996, SPECCTRA products were
available on a broad number of operating system platforms with several available
option packages. Until 1995, the Company derived substantially all of its
revenue from its SPECCTRA line of products and from the service activities
performed by UniCAD, its subsidiary. The IC Craftsman product line, introduced
in early 1995, has accounted for approximately 15% of the Company's total
revenue in 1995 and 29% of the Company's total revenue in the first nine
months of 1996.

     Revenue consists primarily of fees for licenses of the Company's software
products and for maintenance and customer support. The Company recognizes
revenue from software licenses after shipment of the products and fulfillment of
acceptance terms, if any, and when no significant contractual obligations remain
outstanding and collection of monies owed is probable. After delivering the
software, the Company determines the significance of remaining contractual
obligations, if any, based on an estimate of the costs and difficulty to fulfill
the obligations in comparison to the overall contract. When the Company receives
payment prior to shipment and fulfillment of significant vendor obligations,
such payments are recorded as deferred revenue and are recognized as revenue
upon shipment and fulfillment of significant vendor obligations.

     The Company also derives service revenue primarily from maintenance
agreements that provide customers access to product enhancements and customer
support.  In particular, a significant proportion of the Company's service
revenue is earned by UniCAD, its subsidiary.  Most of the Company's customers
have purchased annual maintenance contracts on initial licenses and have renewed
such contracts upon their expiration.  Maintenance revenue is deferred and
recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance agreement, which is
typically one year.  Revenue from customer training, support and other services
is recognized as the service is performed.

     Recently, the Company has significantly increased its research and
development and sales and marketing personnel. The increase in research and
development personnel was primarily to support the development of the IC
Craftsman product line. The increase in sales and marketing personnel was begun
in anticipation of the introduction of the IC Craftsman product line and was
continued in order to expand worldwide distribution, principally in Europe and
Japan. While the Company anticipates an increase in revenues as the IC Craftsman
product line gains further commercial acceptance and international sales
increase, there can be no assurance that the Company will achieve revenue levels
that justify the increased expenses.

     The Company's revenues and results of operations are affected by seasonal
trends that may include higher revenues in the Company's second and fourth
fiscal quarters and lower revenues in its first and third fiscal quarters as a
result of many customers' purchasing and budgetary practices, and lower revenues
in the summer months (particularly in Europe) when many businesses make fewer
purchases. The Company's expense levels are based, in part, on its expectations
as to future revenue. If revenue levels are below expectations due to delays
associated with customers' acceptance and evaluation procedures or for any other
reason, operating results are likely to be materially adversely affected. Net
income, if any, may be disproportionately affected by a reduction in revenue
because only a small portion of the Company's expenses varies with its revenue.

     Although the Company has recently experienced significant revenue growth,
such growth should not be considered to be indicative of future revenue growth,
if any, or of future operating results. The Company's recent revenue growth is a
result of increased unit volume and new product introductions. There can be no
assurance that the Company's revenue will grow or be sustained in future periods
or that the Company will remain profitable in any future period. In addition,
the rapid growth and expansion the Company has experienced, including the
acquisition of UniCAD, has placed and continues to place a significant strain
upon its management, and operational and 

                                                        
                                                                          Page 8

financial resources. The Company has grown from 115 permanent full time
employees at December 31, 1994 to 166 permanent full time employees at September
30, 1996, and currently plans to continue to expand its staff.

     To accommodate this recent growth, the Company is currently enhancing a
variety of new and upgraded operational and financial systems, procedures and
controls, including the improvement of its general ledger accounting and other
internal management systems, its customer database and its transaction
processing systems. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
continue to enhance these systems, procedures and controls successfully. The
failure of the Company to respond to and manage its growth and changing business
conditions, or to adapt its operational, management and financial control
systems to accommodate its growth, could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

     The increase in the number of the Company's employees and the Company's
market diversification and product development activities have resulted in
increased responsibilities for the Company's management. The Company's ability
to operate successfully will require such personnel to work together
effectively. Failure to do so could have a material adverse effect upon the
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

                                                                          Page 9

  Revenue

     Total revenue increased by 52% from $6.2 million in the third quarter of
1995 to $9.4 million in the third quarter of 1996. For the first nine months of
1996, total revenue was $25.7 million, an increase of 61% from total revenue of
$16.0 million for the first nine months of 1995.

     License revenue increased by 57% from $4.4 million in the third quarter of
1995 to $6.9 million in the third quarter of 1996. For the first nine months of
1996, license revenue was $18.1 million, an increase of 69% from license revenue
of $10.7 million for the first nine months of 1995. The increase in license
revenue from both the third quarter and the first nine months of 1995 to the
corresponding periods of 1996 was primarily attributable to increased licensing
of both the Company's SPECCTRA products and the Company's IC Craftsman products.

     License revenue increased 21% from the second quarter of 1996 to the third
quarter of 1996. This increase was attributable to an increase in IC Craftsman
revenue partially offset by a decrease in SPECCTRA revenue. The decrease in
SPECCTRA revenue was primarily attributable to a decrease in business with
Mentor Graphics Corporation ("Mentor Graphics") and a decrease in the Company's
revenue from the low-

                                                                         Page 10

end PCB design market generated by licensing SPECCTRA products with the PCB
industry's IBM compatible CAD systems.

     Service revenue increased by 39% from $1.8 million in the third quarter of
1995 to $2.5 million in the third quarter of 1996. For the first nine months of
1996, service revenue was $7.5 million, an increase of 42% from service revenue
of $5.3 million for the first nine months of 1995. The increase in service
revenue in the period was primarily attributable to maintenance contracts in
connection with the continued growth of the installed base of customers
licensing the Company's products. The percentage of the Company's total revenue
attributable to service revenue decreased from 29% and 33% in the third quarter
and the first nine months of 1995, respectively, to 27% and 29% in the
corresponding periods of 1996. The Company expects that service revenue in
absolute dollars will continue to increase. However, service revenue as a
percentage of total revenue may or may not increase depending upon a number of
factors, including new maintenance sales rates, maintenance renewal rates and
the level of consulting revenue.

     International license and service revenue accounted for $2.5 million in the
third quarter of 1995, rising to $4.1 million in the third quarter of 1996. For
the first nine months of 1996, international revenue was $10.6 million, versus
$7.6 million for the first nine months of 1995. The increase in international
revenue from quarter to quarter was principally due to an increase in sales in
Japan. Because a majority of the Company's European revenue is denominated in
U.S. dollars, the Company has not engaged in European currency hedging
activities there. However, in Japan, where the Company's revenue is denominated
in local currency, the Company has in the past, and may again in the future,
entered into foreign exchange contracts to hedge certain of its foreign currency
exposures. In the third quarter of 1996, the Company did not enter into any
foreign exchange contracts. In the first nine months of 1996, transaction gains
and losses from foreign exchange hedging activities were not significant. The
Company expects that international license and service revenue will continue to
account for a significant portion of its revenue in the short term, and as a
result, foreign currency exposure may increase.

     The Company's international revenue involves a number of risks, including
the impact of possible recessionary environments in economies outside the United
States, longer receivables collection periods and greater difficulty in accounts
receivable collection, unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, reduced
protection for intellectual property rights in some countries, tariffs and other
trade barriers, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, difficulties in
staffing and managing foreign operations, the burdens of complying with a
variety of foreign laws, potentially adverse tax consequences and political and
economic instability. There can be no assurance that the foregoing factors will
not have a material adverse effect on the Company's future international license
and service revenue and, consequently, on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations.

     In the third quarter of 1995, sales to Mentor Graphics accounted for 13% of
the Company's total revenue. For the corresponding period of 1996, sales to
Mentor Graphics represented 8% of the Company's total revenue. For the first
nine months of 1995, Mentor Graphics accounted for 12% of the Company's revenue
versus 10% for the first nine months of 1996. Additionally, the Company received
a significant order from Texas Instruments Inc. ("TI"). The value of the order
received was $4.8 million, of which $3.6 million was for product licenses and
$1.2 million was for maintenance on such products. Sales to TI for the quarter
ended September 30, 1996 amounted to $1.0 million or 11% of total revenue. The
remaining product licenses are to be delivered at the request of TI between
October 1, 1996 and December 31, 1997. The maintenance period extends from
September 30, 1996 until December 31, 1999. No other customer accounted for more
than 10% of revenue during either of these two periods.

     The proportion of revenue earned from distributors and OEMs was 13% and 18%
during the third quarter and the first nine months of 1996, respectively. The
Company is dependent upon the continued viability and financial stability of
these distributors and OEMs. Since the Company's products are used by highly
skilled professional engineers, an effective distributor or OEM representative
must possess sufficient technical, marketing and sales resources and must devote
these resources to a lengthy sales cycle, customer training and product service
and support. In addition, the Company's distributors and OEMs generally offer
products of several different companies, including, in some cases, products that
are competitive with the Company's products. Although the Company is not aware
of any financial difficulties being experienced by any of its significant OEMs
or distributors, there can be no assurance that Mentor Graphics or any of the
Company's distributors or other OEMs will be able to continue to market, service
and support the Company's products effectively, that economic conditions or
industry 

                                                                         Page 11
<PAGE>
 
demand will not adversely affect these distributors and OEMs, that Mentor
Graphics or any distributor or other OEM that licenses the Company's products
will choose to continue to license such products or that any of these
distributors and OEMs will not devote greater resources to marketing and
supporting products of other companies. The current OEM agreement with Mentor
Graphics will expire on March 31, 1998. There can be no assurance that the
Company will reach a subsequent agreement with Mentor Graphics. Should the
Company fail to reach a subsequent agreement with Mentor Graphics, there can be
no assurance that the Company would be successful in either securing alternative
channels of distribution for its products or expanding its own direct sales to
replace Mentor Graphics. The loss of, or a significant reduction in revenue
from, Mentor Graphics or any of the Company's distributors or other OEMs would
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition
and results of operations, at least to the extent such loss is not offset by a
corresponding increase in the Company's direct sales.


     Cost of Revenue

     Cost of license revenue includes personnel and related operating costs
associated with order processing, documentation and other production costs
related to the licensing of the Company's products.  Cost of license revenue
increased by 78% from $240,000 in the third quarter of 1995 to $437,000 in the
third quarter of 1996. The increases in cost of license revenue was primarily
attributable to an increase in licenses of the Company's products. Cost of
license revenue was 4% of total revenue for the third quarter of 1995 and 5% for
the third quarter of 1996.

     The cost of license revenue increased by 36% from $885,000 for the first
nine months of 1995 to $1.2 million in the first nine months of 1996. Cost of
license revenue was 5% of total revenue for both the first nine months of 1995
and 1996.

     Cost of service revenue includes personnel and related costs allocated to
maintenance and other customer support activities.  Cost of service revenue
increased by 22% from $187,000 in the third quarter of 1995 to $229,000 in the
third quarter of 1996. The increase in cost of service revenue was primarily
attributable to an increase in technical support personnel.  Cost of service was
3% of total revenue for the third quarter of 1995 and 2% of total revenue for
the third quarter of 1996.

     The cost of service revenue increased by 42% from $465,000 in the first
nine months of 1995 to $662,000 in the first nine months of 1996. Cost of
license revenue was 4% of total revenue for the first nine months of 1995 and
3% of total revenue for the first nine months of 1996.


     Research and Development

     Research and development expenses include all costs associated with the
development of new products and enhancements to existing products.  Research and
development expenses increased by 25% from $1.6 million in the third quarter of
1995 to $2.0 million in the third quarter of 1996.  These expenses were 26% and
21% of total revenue in the third quarter of 1995 and the third quarter of 1996,
respectively. Research and development expenses increased by 30% from $4.3
million in the first nine months of 1995 to $5.6 million in the first nine
months of 1996. The increase in expenses resulted principally from growth in the
number of research and development personnel. To date, all software development
costs have been expensed as incurred.  The Company anticipates that it will
continue to commit substantial resources to research and development in the
future. At least for the short term, the Company expects research and
development expenses to increase in absolute dollars but to stay flat or
decrease slightly as a percentage of total revenue, to the extent revenue
increases. However, there can be no assurance that there will be a corresponding
increase in revenue to justify the increase in expenditure.

     Sales and Marketing

     Sales and marketing expenses consist of salaries, commissions paid to
internal sales and marketing personnel and certain third parties, promotional
costs and related operating expenses. Sales and marketing expenses increased by
17% from $2.9 million in the third quarter of 1995 to $3.4 million in the third
quarter of 1996. These expenses were 46% and 37% of total revenue in the third
quarter of 1995 and the third quarter of 1996, respectively. Sales and marketing
expenses increased by 44% from $7.0 million in the first nine months of 1995 to
$10.1 million in the first nine months of 1996. The increases in sales and
marketing expenses in each period consist principally of the cost of additional
sales and marketing personnel related to the expansion of the Company's direct
sales 

                                                                         Page 12
<PAGE>
 
capability in the PCB market, to support the Company's entry into the IC
market and to expand worldwide distribution, principally in Europe and Japan,
and increases in variable sales compensation due to increased revenue. The
number of sales and marketing personnel increased from 56 at the end of the
third quarter of 1995 to 63 at the end of the third quarter of 1996. At least
for the short term, the Company expects sales and marketing expenses to increase
in absolute dollars, but to stay flat or decrease slightly as a percentage of
total revenue, to the extent revenue increases. This is due to the continuing
focus on direct sales. However, there can be no assurance that there will be a
corresponding increase in revenue to justify the increase in expenditure.

     The increase in sales and marketing personnel was begun in anticipation of
the introduction of the IC Craftsman product line and has been continued in
order to expand worldwide distribution.  While the Company anticipates an
increase in revenues as the IC Craftsman product line gains commercial
acceptance and international sales increase, there can be no assurance that the
Company will continue to achieve revenue levels that justify the increased
expenses.  The Company has relatively little experience in direct sales in the
IC market.  There can be no assurance that expansion of the Company's direct
sales efforts will succeed or that such expansion will result in increased
sales.   Although the success of this direct channel has reduced the Company's
dependence on the OEM channel, there can be no assurance that the expansion of
this channel will not have an adverse effect on the Company's relationship with
Mentor graphics or other existing distributor and OEM relationships.

     The Company has expanded its international sales and support organization,
which has resulted in an increase in sales and marketing expenses.  The Company
intends to further expand these organizations, resulting in additional increases
in sales and marketing expenses. However, the Company expects the growth rate of
such expenses to be lower than in the past.  There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to sustain or increase revenue derived from international
licensing and service.  Any failure to expand sales in foreign markets would
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition
and results of operations.

     General and Administrative

     General and administrative expenses increased 129% from $786,000 in the
third quarter of 1995 to $1.8 million in the third quarter of 1996.  These
expenses were 13% and 19% of total revenue in the third quarter of 1995 and the
third quarter of 1996, respectively. General and adminstrative expenses
increased by 82% from $2.2 million in the first nine months of 1995 to $4.0
million in the first nine months of 1996. The increases in general and
administrative expenses were primarily attributable to two non-recurring items.
First, professional fees associated with the settling of the Cadence lawsuit
amounted to approximately $350,000 in the quarter. Second, expenses associated
with the acquisition of UniCAD amounted to approximately $400,000 in the
quarter. Due to the impact of the non-recurring items, the Company expects the
level of general and administrative expenses to decrease in the final quarter of
1996. Excluding the non-recurring items, the Company expects general and
administrative expenses to increase in absolute dollars but to stay flat or
decrease slightly as a percentage of total revenue, to the extent revenue
increases. However, there can be no assurance that there will be a corresponding
increase in revenue to justify the increase in expenditure.

     Income Taxes

     The provision for income taxes as a percentage of pre-tax income was 33%
for 1995 and 34% for the first nine months of 1996. These percentages are less
than the federal and state combined statutory rate of approximately 40% due
primarily to the utilization of research and development credits in both
periods.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company has financed its operations to date with cash from operations
and through private and public sales of equity securities.  Private sales of
equity securities have yielded approximately $4.7 million, including the sale of
shares of Common Stock to Synopsys in May 1996, the proceeds of which  were
approximately $2.2 million.  In addition, in October 1995, the company completed
its initial public offering, raising approximately $22.4 million.


     Net cash provided by operating activities in the first nine months of 1996
was $2.7 million versus $264,000 cash used in the corresponding period of 1995.
The cash generated in the first nine months of 1996 resulted primarily from net
income and an increase in accrued salary and employee benefits, offset by
increases in accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, and
decreases in trade accounts payable, income
                                                                         Page 13
<PAGE>
 
taxes payable and deferred revenue. The increase in cash generated in the nine
months of 1996 versus the corresponding period of 1995, is due principally to
the higher level of net income in 1996 coupled with a lower rate of growth in
receivables, versus the same period in 1995, when net income was much lower, and
the growth in receivables was much more pronounced.

     Cash used in investing activities resulted primarily from additions to
property and equipment and purchases of available-for-sale securities.
Purchases of property and equipment, consisting primarily of computer equipment,
were $1.3 million in the first nine months of 1996 versus $1.4 million in the
corresponding period of 1995. Capital spending was particularly high during the
first nine months of 1995 due to the significant increase in headcount during
that period and the associated spending on equipment that was required to
support it.

     As of September 30, 1996, the Company had working capital of $32.5 million,
including cash, cash equivalents and short term investments of $31.4 million. As
of September 30, 1996, the Company had no bank indebtedness and no significant
long term commitments other than operating lease obligations. The Company
believes that existing cash balances and funds generated from operations will
provide the Company with sufficient funds to finance its operations in the near
future. Thereafter, the Company may require additional funds to support its
working capital requirements and for other purposes and may seek to raise such
additional funds through public or private equity financings or from other
sources. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available
or that, if available, such financing will be obtainable on terms favorable to
the Company or its stockholders.


OTHER FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS

     The Company expects that it will face increasing pricing pressures from its
current competitors and new market entrants. There can be no assurance that the
Company's competitors will not engage in pricing practices that are detrimental
to the Company. In addition, the Company believes that the amount of design work
done by the users of the Company's products on Windows-based personal computers
is increasing relative to UNIX-based workstations. This trend has led to a
decrease in the average selling prices of the Company's products. If this trend
continues, it may continue to negatively impact the Company's average selling
prices. There can be no assurance that such decreases in average selling price
will be offset by an increase in the volume of sales.

     Many of the Company's current and potential competitors have longer
operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, product
development and marketing resources, greater name recognition and larger
customer bases than the Company.  There can be no assurance that the Company's
competition will not be able to develop products comparable or superior to those
developed by the Company, adapt more quickly to new technologies, evolving
industry trends or customer requirements than the Company, or devote greater
resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products than the
Company.  In addition, current competitors of the Company have established and
may establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties
to increase the ability of their products to address the needs of the Company's
existing and prospective customers.  Such alliances among competitors could
present increased competition to the Company.  Moreover, the EDA industry has
become increasingly concentrated in recent years as the result of numerous
mergers and acquisitions.  The Company expects that competition may increase as
a result of this increased concentration.  There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to compete successfully against current and future
competitors or that competitive pressures faced by the Company will not have a
material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of
operations.

     In addition, the introduction or announcement by the Company or one or more
of its competitors of products embodying new technologies or features could
render the Company's existing products obsolete or unmarketable.  There can be
no assurance that the introduction or announcement of new product offerings by
the Company or one or more of its competitors will not cause customers to defer
purchases of existing Company products.  Such deferral of purchases could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations.

     The Company's success is heavily dependent upon its proprietary software
technology. The Company does not currently have any patents and relies
principally on trade secret, copyright and trademark laws, nondisclosure and
other contractual agreements and technical measures to protect its technology,
including its ShapeBased technology. The Company generally enters into
confidentiality and/or license agreements with its employees, distributors, OEMs
and customers, and limits access to and distribution of its software,
documentation and other 

                                                                         Page 14
<PAGE>
 
proprietary information. The Company's software is shipped with a software
security lock which limits software access to authorized users. In addition, the
Company generally does not license or release its source code, except in
connection with source code escrow arrangements. However, effective copyright
and trade secret protection may be unavailable or limited in certain foreign
countries. There also can be no assurance that the steps taken by the Company
will prevent misappropriation of its technology. Any failure by or inability of
the Company to protect its proprietary technology could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
Furthermore, such protections do not preclude competitors from developing
products with functionality or features similar to the Company's products, and
there can be no assurance that third parties will not independently develop
competing technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to the
Company's technologies. However, the Company believes that, due to the rapid
pace of innovation within the EDA industry, factors such as the technological
and creative skills of its personnel, new product developments, frequent product
enhancements, name recognition and reliable product maintenance are more
important to establishing and maintaining a technology leadership position than
are the various legal protections of its technology.

     The Company does not believe its products infringe the proprietary rights
of any third parties. However, there can be no assurance that infringement
claims will not be asserted against the Company or its customers. Furthermore,
the Company may initiate claims or litigation against third parties for
infringement of the Company's proprietary rights or to establish the validity of
the Company's proprietary rights. Litigation, either as plaintiff or defendant,
would cause the Company to incur substantial costs and divert management
resources from productive tasks, whether or not such litigation is resolved in
the Company's favor, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations. Parties making claims
against the Company could secure substantial damages, as well as injunctive or
other equitable relief, which could effectively block the Company's ability to
license its products in the United States or abroad. Such a judgment could have
a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations. If it appears necessary or desirable, the Company may
seek licenses to intellectual property that it is allegedly infringing. The
Company is not currently seeking any such license. There can be no assurance,
however, that licenses could be obtained on commercially reasonable terms, if at
all, or that the terms of any offered license would be acceptable to the
Company. The failure to obtain the necessary licenses or other rights could have
a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations. As the number of software products in the industry
increases and the functionality of these products further overlaps, the Company
believes that software developers may become increasingly subject to
infringement claims. Any such claims, with or without merit, can be time
consuming and expensive to defend and could adversely affect the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations.

     The Company's future depends in large part on the continued service of its
key technical personnel, in particular its founders, and its ability to continue
to attract and retain such personnel, many of whom are highly skilled. The
competition for such personnel in the software industry in general, and the EDA
industry in particular, is intense, and there can be no assurance that the
Company will retain its key technical personnel or continue to attract such
personnel in the future. There are only a limited number of qualified EDA
engineers, and competition for such individuals is especially intense. The
Company has at times experienced and continues to experience difficulty in
recruiting qualified technical personnel. Although such difficulties have not
had a material impact on the Company's business to date, there can be no
assurance that such difficulties will not do so in the future. Generally, the
Company's employees are not bound by employment or noncompetition agreements or
covered by key man life insurance policies. In addition, competitors may attempt
to recruit the Company's key employees. The loss of any key technical,
management or marketing personnel or the failure to recruit such personnel
successfully in the future could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations.

     The EDA industry is characterized by extremely rapid technological change,
frequent new product introductions and enhancements, evolving industry standards
and rapidly changing customer requirements.  Customers in the EDA industry
require software products that allow them to minimize their time-to-market,
differentiate their products, maximize their engineering productivity and reduce
design time and costs.  The Company's future success will depend upon its
ability to continually enhance its current products and develop and introduce
new products that keep pace with technological advancements and address the
increasingly sophisticated needs of its customers.  There can be no assurance
that the Company will be successful in developing and marketing product
enhancements or new products that respond to technological change, evolving
industry standards and changing customer requirements, that the Company will not
experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development,
introduction and marketing of these products or product enhancements or that its
new products and product enhancements will adequately meet the requirements of
the marketplace and achieve 

                                                                         Page 15
<PAGE>
 
any significant degree of market acceptance. Failure of the Company, for
technological or other reasons, to develop and introduce new products and
product enhancements in a timely and cost-effective manner would have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations. Any failure by the Company to anticipate or to respond adequately to
changing market conditions, or any significant delays in product development or
introduction, could cause customers to delay or decide against purchases of the
Company's products and would have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations.

     Software products as complex as those offered by the Company may contain
defects or failures when introduced or when new versions are released. The
Company has in the past discovered software defects in certain of its products
and may experience delays or lost revenue correcting such defects in the future.
Although the Company has corrected known material defects and has not
experienced material adverse effects resulting from any such defects to date,
there can be no assurance that, despite testing by the Company, errors will not
be found in new products or releases after commencement of commercial shipments.
Any such occurrence could result in loss of market share or failure to achieve
market acceptance and could have a material adverse effect upon the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations.

     The Company's future operating results are significantly dependent upon
continued enhancement and market acceptance of its SPECCTRA product line and
successful market acceptance of its IC Craftsman product line. There can be no
assurance that the SPECCTRA product line will continue to be adequately enhanced
to achieve continued market acceptance or that the Company will be successful in
marketing the IC Craftsman product line or any other new or enhanced products.
In particular, the Company believes that its future operating results are
significantly dependent upon market acceptance in Japan of the Company's IC
Craftsman products. The Company believes that a number of factors will be
necessary for its IC Craftsman products to achieve, and its SPECCTRA products to
continue to achieve, broad market acceptance. These factors include performance,
price, interoperability with existing systems and the customer's assessment of
the Company's technical, managerial, service and support expertise and
capability. Failure to succeed with respect to any of these factors could result
in the Company's failure to achieve market acceptance of its products, which
would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations. A decline in demand for any of the
Company's products as a result of competition, technological change or other
factors would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations. In addition, factors adversely
affecting the EDA market generally could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

     The sales cycle for the Company's products is relatively lengthy.  In
particular, orders for licenses of the Company's IC Craftsman products in a
given quarter are typically made by relatively fewer customers and in larger
amounts as compared to orders for licenses of the Company's SPECCTRA products.
Accordingly, because IC Craftsman revenues have increased as a percentage of the
Company's total revenues, such licenses ordered by a single customer can account
for a significant portion of a quarter's revenues.  Because the Company's
expenses are relatively fixed in the short term, the loss or delay of such
orders by a single customer or multiple customers could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

     In addition, the Company believes that its quarterly and annual operating
results have in the past and may in the future vary significantly depending on
factors such as variations in product development or operating expenditures,
increased competition, the purchasing patterns of its customers, the timing of
customer design and development projects, the timing of customer evaluation and
acceptance, the timing of expenditures by the Company in anticipation of product
releases or increased revenue, the timing of product enhancements and product
introductions by the Company and its competitors, market acceptance of new and
enhanced versions of the Company's products, the size, timing and structure of
significant licenses, changes in pricing policies of the Company and its
competitors, variations in the mix of products the Company licenses, delays in
processing orders, the mix of direct and indirect sales, changes in Company
strategy, personnel changes and general economic factors. Any unfavorable
changes in these or other factors could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

       The anticipated benefits of the recently completed acquisition of UniCAD
will not be achieved unless UniCAD and the Company are successfully combined in
an efficient and timely manner. It is possible that the process of combining the
two organizations, integrating their product offerings and coordinating their
research and development, production, administrative and sales and marketing
efforts, will cause an interruption of, or a loss of momentum in, the activities
of either or both of the companies' businesses, which could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations, at least in the near term. The

                                                                         Page 16
<PAGE>
 
difficulties of integration may be increased by the necessity of coordinating
geographically separated organizations and integrating personnel with disparate
business backgrounds. Furthermore, the process of combining the companies could
have a material adverse effect on employee morale and on the ability of the
Company to retain the key management, technical and sales and marketing
personnel who are critical to the Company's future operations. In addition, the
consummation of the acquisition could cause customers or potential customers to
delay or cancel orders for products as a result of uncertainty over the
integration and support of the Company's products. There can be no assurances
that the Company's current management will be capable of managing the combined
operations, or UniCAD's existing strategic relationships with its customers,
effectively.  In addition, it is possible that the business and management
changes brought by the acquisition may cause key employees to leave UniCAD or
cause the Company to terminate key employees of UniCAD. Any failure by UniCAD or
the Company to retain and attract key employees could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

     The anticipated benefits of the recently announced agreement to be acquired
by Cadence will not be achieved unless Cadence and the Company are successfully
combined in an efficient and timely manner. The announcement of the proposed
acquisition by Cadence could have a material adverse effect on employee morale
and on the ability of the Company to retain the key personnel who are critical
to the Company's future operations and could cause customers or potential
customers to delay or cancel orders for products as a result of uncertainty
over the integration and support of the Company's products, either of which 
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations.

                                                                         Page 17

                                    PART II


ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     On July 29, 1996, the Company was sued by Cadence in the Superior Court of
Santa Clara County (Case No. CV759629) in California. The complaint sought to
enjoin the Company from selling a translator that was created by a third party
that allows the Company's integrated circuit routing software (IC Craftsman) to
connect to Cadence's software. The complaint alleged that the product was not
authorized by Cadence's license agreements with the third party or the Company.
The Company has sold the translator with a limited number of IC Craftsman
products over the last 11 months. The complaint also sought damages from the
Company.

     On September 12, 1996, the Company and Cadence settled the lawsuit filed
against the Company by Cadence. The legal costs related to the lawsuit are
approximately $350,000. Except for the payment of such legal costs, the lawsuit
is not expected to have a material adverse impact on the Company's future
results of operations or financial condition.

     As part of the settlement, Cadence has become a preferred services provider
for the Company's IC and PCB design tools, giving Cadence's professional
services organization access to the Company's tools to fulfill service
agreements with mutual customers. In addition, the Company signed an expanded
agreement allowing its products to interface with Cadence's IC and PCB design
solutions.
 
ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES

     The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its common
stock. The Company currently anticipates that it will retain all future earnings
for use in its business and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the
forseeable future. On November 12, 1996, the Company filed a report on Form 8-K
describing an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization entered into with
Cadence on October 28, 1996 ("Reorganization Agreement"). The Company has
agreed not to declare or pay dividends on its common stock without the consent
of Cadence during the term of the Reorganization Agreement.
