ITEM  1.   BUSINESS.

     Viewlogic Systems, Inc. ("Viewlogic" or the "Company") was
founded in 1984 and is a leading supplier of Electronic Design
Automation (EDA) software which is used to accelerate and
automate the design and verification of advanced Application
Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC's), Printed Circuit Boards
(PCB's) and electronic systems. Viewlogic develops and markets a
comprehensive family of software products and consulting services
to help its customers optimize their design processes and deliver
high quality products to market sooner. Viewlogic markets its
products to many of the world's largest and most sophisticated
Integrated Circuit (IC) and electronic system manufacturers in
industries such as semiconductor, computer, communication,
automotive and consumer electronics. The Company sells its
products worldwide through a broad distribution channel
consisting of direct sales, distributors, value added resellers
(VAR's) and telesales.

ORGANIZATION AND PRODUCTS

     Viewlogic develops and sells EDA software to companies whose
end product may be a single IC, an ASIC, a Field Programmable
Gate Array (FPGA), a PCB or an entire electronic system. To best
address the diverse needs of its broad customer base, Viewlogic
is organized into four business groups.  The four business groups
are:  ASIC Group, Systems Group, Software Group and Advanced
Development Group.   Each group delivers products and solutions
which address the specific design challenges of its particular
customer segment. Technology is shared wherever possible to fully
leverage the Company's research and development investment.
  
ASIC GROUP

     The ASIC market has evolved rapidly, driven by advances in
silicon manufacturing technology.  The complexity of
semiconductor technology has increased dramatically for the last
fifteen years. With each new generation of technology came a new
set of design challenges. While it was possible to successfully
design a high-end ASIC two to three years ago with average design
tools, this is no longer the case. Complex ASIC design now
requires an integrated suite of  advanced tools and design
methodologies which consider both the logical and physical
aspects of the design.
     Viewlogic's ASIC Group develops state-of-the-art software
and methodologies required to design today's most complex ASIC's.
Viewlogic today offers some of the leading products used in the
complex ASIC design flow process. These products include the
Chronologic VCS(TM) simulator, Quad Motive(TM) static timing analyzer
and Sunrise TestGen(TM) design-for-test tool.  In 1996, the Company
initiated the ASIC 2000 Project which will combine the Company's
best-in-class tools with strategic third-party tools and support
from leading ASIC vendors. The project is designed to address the
new challenges of deep sub-micron silicon technology, which
require designers to consider the co-dependencies of the logical
and physical implementation of the design process. Most of the
ASIC Group's products operate on the Windows NT and UNIX
operating systems.
     
SYSTEMS GROUP

     The Systems Group develops products and services which
enable the design of FPGA's, PCB's, and complete electronic
systems. This group also develops much of the Company's
integration technology, such as data storage mechanisms, design
management and interoperability technology, which is required to
produce complete solutions. The Systems Group develops and
supports complete solutions for the Windows NT and UNIX operating
systems.
     The FPGA market has traditionally been very strong for
Viewlogic. In the early 1990's, the Company established strategic
relationships with many of the leading FPGA vendors under which
the vendors licensed and shipped Viewlogic design software as
part of an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) relationship to
offer a  complete solution. The vendors added their placement and
routing software which allowed users to create an optimal
physical implementation. These relationships created a customer
base to which the Company may sell other, complementary software.
     The FPGA market is currently going though significant
change. Driven by the same silicon manufacturing advances seen in
the ASIC market, the density of FPGA's has grown significantly
over the past few
                               2
<PAGE>
       
years. Devices with 100,0000 gates of available logic are now being
shipped requiring changes in design methodology similar to those
seen in ASIC more than five years ago.
     The PCB market is undergoing significant change as well. The
speed of PCBs is increasing rapidly and the number of components
on the board is decreasing due to the use of more ASIC's and
FPGA's. The PCB design problem has changed from one of verifying
the logic design to making sure that the interconnect between
components meets rigid timing and physical constraints. To
address these problems, Viewlogic introduced ISIS(TM) in 1996. ISIS
is a suite of tools, including Viewlogic's Quad XTK(TM) and Prevue(TM)
high speed board analysis technology, for electronic design
engineers involved in high speed PCB and systems design. ISIS
provides the tools needed to concurrently design both high speed
logic and PCB interconnect.
     The traditional offering of the Systems Group is solutions
optimized for the Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) portion of the
board design process. This includes design entry and analysis,
simulation, library and data management and interfaces to
physical design implementation. This is where at least 50% of the
board design process takes place. Viewlogic offers two product
lines targeted at this segment: Powerview(R) and Workview Office(R).
The Powerview product family consists of a broad range of tools
integrated into a comprehensive CAE solution and is based on an
open, standards-based environment. Powerview operates on the UNIX
operating system and most major industry hardware platforms.
     Workview Office was introduced in December 1995 and is
targeted at providing a comprehensive CAE solution operable on
the rapidly growing Windows NT operating systems.  Workview
Office combines UNIX-level performance with substantially
improved levels of tool interoperability on the PC platform.
Significant advancements in Personal Computer (PC) performance
together with new capabilities and robustness of the NT operating
system have made PC/ NT the operating platform of choice for many
customers. In fact, market research predicts that the PC-based
EDA market will reach $400 million by the year 2000. As in the
Powerview product line, Workview Office combines Viewlogic's
advanced technology into complete solutions which run on the PC.
The Company believes it is well positioned to take advantage of
the rapid growth in this market.
     
SOFTWARE GROUP
     
     Viewlogic's Software Group was founded in October 1996 and
strengthened in February of 1997 with the acquisition of Eagle
Design Automation ("Eagle").  Eagle was the first company to
deliver hardware (HW)/ software (SW) co-verification solutions
and continues to be a leader in this technology. HW/ SW co-
verification is the process of simulating the HW and SW component
of the electronic system together, before developing a prototype.
The group's charter is to provide tools, services and integration
to shorten the development time of embedded systems through HW/
SW co-development. The term embedded systems describes electronic
designs, either boards or ICs, which include a microprocessor or
microcontroller. With the growing software component in embedded
systems and the growing size of software programs, HW/ SW
integration is becoming a larger part of the overall design
cycle. An estimated 50% of the overall embedded systems design
time is spent in HW/ SW design and debug, and prototype debug.
Hardware and software development is becoming more interdependent
making it necessary to consider the interaction earlier in the
design cycle. This problem is expected to worsen with the
migration toward 32 bit and 64 bit embedded processors.
     Another emerging trend in embedded systems is the use of
embedded processors in system ASIC's. System Level Integration
(SLI) ASIC's, as market research firm (Dataquest) refers to them,
are defined as an ASIC which includes 100,000 gates of logic,
memory and at least one processor. Dataquest predicts that the
SLI market will reach $14 billion by the year 2000. When a
processor is embedded within the ASIC, designers must perform HW/
SW co-development. The high dollar cost of multiple SLI
iterations, in addition to the time to market penalty, will make
hardware/ software co-verification of system level ASIC's
essential. Viewlogic believes this is a very strategic technology
for the Company. Major products developed by the Software Group
include Eaglei(TM) which is used for full system integration testing
and EagleV(TM) which is used for verification of embedded processors
within an ASIC.
     
ADVANCED DEVELOPMENT GROUP

     Viewlogic's Advanced Development Group was formed in October
of 1996. It is chartered with investigating which new
technologies will be required in the next two to five years and
then performing the initial technical feasibility study and
preliminary research and development. The Advanced Development
Group is not charged with specific product development and
delivery, but is responsible for developing algorithms and new

                               3
<PAGE>

technology. These technologies will then be incorporated into new
products developed and supported by the Company's product groups.
The Advanced Development Group does primary research onsite and
also works with leading research groups and individuals within
academia and industry.

PRODUCT PACKAGING, LICENSING AND PRICING

     The Company generally licenses its products for use on a
single computer or for network use for a one-time fee. The end-
user license fee depends on the exact configuration and features
selected by the customer. The Company offers individual tools and
solution packages specifically tailored for each of several
electronic design categories including ASIC, FPGA, PCB, system
and software design. For UNIX-based systems, each of these
solutions bundles the design framework with a collection of tools
and library support, targeted at solving a particular design
problem.
     A range of capabilities is offered from basic design entry
to advanced solutions packages for sophisticated design needs.
For example, Powerview pricing ranges from $12,000 to $150,000
for packages. Workview Office pricing ranges from $2,000 to
$55,000. Motive and XTK pricing on Unix Workstations range from
$24,000 to $55,000. TestGen licenses for a single computer range
from $95,000 to $150,000. Prices for the Chronologic VCS
Simulator range from $20,000 to $40,000.

SALES
     
     Viewlogic has developed multiple distribution channels,
including a direct sales organization, telesales, independent
distributors, VARs, and strategic sales alliances with certain
significant semiconductor and PCB layout software vendors.
     DIRECT SALES ORGANIZATION - The Company markets its products
in North America, Europe and Japan primarily through a direct
sales organization, which consisted of 222 salespersons and
applications engineers as of February 28, 1997. The Company
currently has 29 sales offices located throughout North America,
Europe, Japan, India and the Far East.
     Direct sales teams, consisting of one salesperson and one
applications engineer, focus on large accounts in assigned
territories. These sales teams are responsible for all sales
activities within their assigned territories and coordinate the
activities of distributors, VARs and Silicon Design Alliance
(SDA) and PCB Design Alliance (PDA) partners. Applications
engineers specializing in certain products are assigned to each
sales territory and support individual sales teams.  Each member
of the Company's direct sales and support teams is assigned sales
quotas and has a significant portion of his or her compensation
based on sales performance. Approximately 50% and 30% of expected
compensation for salespersons and application engineers,
respectively, is typically based on sales performance.
     A Telesales channel was established in 1993 to complement
the sales activities of the direct sales organization and the
North American based VAR channel. The telesales channel consists
of telesales representatives covering assigned geographic
territories in North America. These representatives are an inside
counterpart to the field, focusing on upgrading and servicing the
installed customer base. They provide sales support for renewal
maintenance, handle all sales operations of Viewlogic's
University Program and otherwise upgrade existing customers by
selling additional seats and "after market" components.
Approximately 45% of expected compensation for a telesales
representative is based on sales performance.
     DISTRIBUTORS - Viewlogic appoints independent distributors to
market its products to customers not served by the Company's
direct sales organization. Viewlogic uses distributors as its
principal distribution channel in much of Asia, and currently has
distributors covering Israel, Taiwan, Korea, Australia,
Singapore, China and India. Distributors are also appointed in
the United States, Japan and Europe to supplement the Company's
direct sales efforts by focusing on customers not served by
direct sales teams.
     VAR - The Company has established a broad-based VAR
distribution network. This group primarily focuses on selling
Viewlogic's Workview Office tools to the small and medium size
accounts of electronic engineers in North America.
     STRATEGIC SALES ALLIANCES - Viewlogic has established
strategic relationships with certain significant semiconductor
suppliers who resell Viewlogic products along with their own
proprietary design kits as part of Viewlogic's SDA. These
partners include Actel Corporation, Altera Inc., Motorola Inc.,
Xilinx Inc., American Telephone & Telegraph Company, Atmel, NEC
Corporation, Lattice Semiconductor Corporation and Matsushita

                               4
<PAGE>

Electric Corporation. The Company believes that the SDA program
has allowed Workview Office to become widely used in the FPGA
design area. The SDA program has also facilitated the creation of
a significant installed base of the Company's products by
utilizing the sales organizations of the Company's partners, many
of which have greater sales and marketing resources than
Viewlogic. Viewlogic has established a similar alliance called
Viewlogic's PDA, with certain major PCB CAD companies, including
Harris EDA, Inc. and Zuken-Redac Ltd., who resell a range of
Viewlogic products along with their CAD design tools.
Additionally, Viewlogic is an OEM supplier to PADs Software and
Anacad, a subsidiary of Mentor Graphics. The Anacad partnership
also includes Viewlogic supplying its VCS Verilog simulator to
Anacad. Certain Quad products are resold on an OEM basis through
Intergraph Corporation, Racal-Redac and Mentor Graphics who sell
these tools in conjunction with their own design automation
solutions.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

     The Company's product development efforts are focused on
enhancing and broadening its current line of products, including
the development of new products and the release of improved
versions of existing products on a regular basis. Most of the
Company's new products to date have represented the evolution of
its core Workview Office and Powerview product lines, plus
ongoing developments leveraging resources and technologies gained
in recent acquisitions and partnerships. The Company also
maintains research programs in a number of advanced technical
areas including logic synthesis, simulation technology, VHDL
simulation, timing analysis, signal integrity, test, database
development and frameworks, which may generate future EDA
software products and consulting services. As of February 28,
1997, the Company's product development and customer support
staff consisted of 276 persons. The Company's product development
staff receives support from both the Company's engineering
services personnel and its product and industry marketing
organization to enable it to develop products that satisfy market
requirements.
     The Company maintains cooperative relationships with most
major hardware vendors on which the Company's products operate,
as well as with new hardware vendors who desire the Company to
port its products to their systems. Viewlogic believes that these
relationships allow it to design products that respond to
emerging trends in computing, graphics and networking
technologies. In certain instances, these relationships include
joint marketing agreements which primarily outline a procedure
for communication between Viewlogic and the vendor with respect
to technology and possible sales leads.
     During 1994, 1995 and 1996 Viewlogic's research and
development expenses were $20,255,000, $22,644,000, and
$27,412,000, respectively. The Company believes that it must
continue to commit substantial resources to enhance and extend
its product line to remain competitive. The Company intends to
continue to devote substantial resources to its internally-funded
product development and, if appropriate, to enter into
development agreements with third-parties.

SERVICE AND SUPPORT

     A key part of Viewlogic's strategy to help make its
customers successful is to provide a wide range of support
services including on-site and hot-line support for designers, in-
house and on-site training on all products and consulting
services for specialized tool development, tool and methodology
training and design work. The Company believes its focus on
customer service has helped it achieve a high degree of customer
satisfaction.
     Product support is provided pursuant to maintenance
agreements which extend for one year after the expiration of the
product warranty, which is generally thirty days, and are
renewable annually thereafter. The annual standard maintenance
fee charged to end-user customers is currently 15% of the then-
current list price for the product. The Company's distributors
and strategic sales partners charge their end-user customers for
maintenance and remit a negotiated portion to the Company.
Historically, approximately 80% of Viewlogic's customers have
renewed their maintenance agreements annually. Training and
consulting services are generally not included in the Company's
software license or maintenance fees and are usually provided on
a separately negotiated basis.
     PRODUCT REVISIONS AND UPGRADES - Customers with maintenance
agreements receive all product revisions without additional
charge. Product upgrades, which add significant new product
functionality, are provided to customers for a fee equal to the
difference between the list price for such upgrade and the
license fee previously paid by the customer for the applicable
product. Viewlogic also provides a credit to customers of its SDA
and PDA partners, who desire to upgrade to full-functionality
Workview Office or Powerview systems.

                              5
<PAGE>

     ON-SITE AND HOT LINE SUPPORT - Support is available to the
Company's software users on both a pre- and post-sale basis.
Application engineers work directly with the Company's direct
sales force to provide on-site support that is often needed
during critical stages of the user's evaluation and design
process.
     The majority of the Company's customers requiring support
contact the Company through Viewlogic's toll-free hot-lines,
which put users directly in touch with engineers who are
knowledgeable in the use of the product. Support is available
from 8:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. eastern time, Monday through Friday.
In addition to the Viewlogic hot-line, questions or suggestions
can be submitted by fax, an electronic bulletin board or the
Internet network mail system.
     In addition, post-sales product application support is
provided to customers through a series of automated support
channels:
- -    quarterly Technical Support Newsletter providing answers to
     common questions,
- -    electronic bulletin board system providing a forum for
     exchanging data and ideas and
- -    fax-on-demand system enabling customers to retrieve faxes of
     technical application notes.

     An automatic call distribution system transparently connects
North American support-callers with technical support engineers
based in Marlboro, Massachusetts and Fremont, California.
Additionally, technical support engineers based in Massachusetts,
California, the United Kingdom and Japan have immediate access to
shared, problem-solving technical information via a sophisticated
on-line software support system.
     CUSTOMER TRAINING - The Company offers a variety of training
programs for users ranging from introductory, broad-based courses
to advanced and specialized courses. Training is offered at the
Company's facilities in Marlboro, Massachusetts, Fremont,
California, London, Tokyo, Marseilles and Munich. On-site
training is also available.
     VIEWLOGIC CONSULTING SERVICES - The Viewlogic Consulting
Services Group (VCSG) is a global consulting organization staffed
by experts in electronic design. VCSG's goal is to meet the
diverse and demanding needs of customers designing today's
complex IC's, boards, and systems. VCSG provides a complete line
of consulting services including training, product jumpstart
programs, methodology assessment and re-engineering, custom
software development and partial or full design implementation.
Other specialized services include systems integration, design
database translation, and custom library development.

CUSTOMERS

     Over 51,000 Viewlogic systems have been sold to
approximately 3,500 companies. End-users of the Company's
products range from small companies to some of the world's
largest manufacturing organizations. Industries represented
include computers, consumer electronics, semi-conductors,
telecommunications, military/ defense, aerospace, industrial,
medical equipment and universities.

COMPETITION

     The EDA software industry is highly competitive and is
characterized by rapidly advancing technology. In order to
maintain or improve its position in this industry, the Company
must enhance its current products continually and develop and
introduce new products which address the rapidly changing needs
of the marketplace.
     The Company's competitors consist of large companies, many
of which have greater market share and substantially greater
financial and other resources than the Company; emerging
companies with new and innovative technology; and customers who
develop their own EDA tools.
     The Company believes that it competes effectively in the EDA
market on the basis of product functionality, price/performance
characteristics, product portability, ease of product use and
support services. However, there can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to continue to compete effectively in the
EDA market or that its profitability or financial performance
will not be adversely affected by increased competition.

PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

     The Company relies on a combination of contracts, patents,
copyright and trade secret law to establish and protect
proprietary rights in its technology.  The Company licenses and
distributes its products under written

                                6
<PAGE>

agreements providing for non-exclusive licenses.  The licensed
software may be used solely for internal operations on designated
computers at specified sites. The source code of the Company's
products is protected both as a trade secret and as an unpublished
copyrighted work and is not made available to third-parties. Despite
these precautions, it may be possible to unlawfully copy or otherwise
obtain and use the Company's products or technology without
authorization.
     The Company believes that, due to the rapid pace of
innovation within the CAE software industry, factors such as the
technological and creative skills of its personnel are more
important to establishing and maintaining a technology leadership
position than are the various legal protections of its
technology.
     The Company currently has two patents and six pending patent
applications.
     The Company has registered Viewlogic, Powerview, Workview
Office, ViewScript, ViewPLD, ViewDraw, ViewBase, ViewPlace,
ViewFPGA, ViewSynthesis, ViewFlow, WorkviewPLUS and other
trademarks in the United States and in various foreign countries.
The Company's United States trademark registrations have terms of
ten to twenty years and are renewable indefinitely for additional
ten-year terms so long as the Company continues to use the
trademarks subject to such registrations.  The Company also
asserts common law trademark protection for certain of its
products.

BACKLOG

     The Company generally ships its products within 30 days
after acceptance of a customer purchase order and execution of a
license agreement. Accordingly, the Company does not believe that
its backlog at any particular point in time is indicative of
future sales levels.

EMPLOYEES

     As of February 28, 1997, the Company had 693 employees,
including 280 in marketing and sales, 207 in product research and
development, 115 in customer support, consulting and training, 24
in manufacturing and sales administration and 67 in general and
administrative activities. None of the Company's employees is
represented by a labor union or is subject to a collective
bargaining agreement. The Company has never experienced a work
stoppage and believes that its employee relations are excellent.

TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS

At the beginning of 1996, we set out to achieve a difficult goal:
to shift our primary business focus from Electronic Design Automation
(EDA) for PCB design to EDA for ASIC design. We chose to make this radical
change because the ASIC segment of the market is growing considerably
faster than the PCB segment. We are pleased to report that our transition
has exceeded our internal plans.
     Sales of our ASIC solutions on both the NT and UNIX platforms
represented 44 percent of our annual revenues in 1996 compared with
approximately 30 percent in 1995. Year-over-year, our ASIC product revenues
grew 65 percent in 1996, and in the fourth quarter they grew 82 percent
compared with the 1995 fourth quarter. That strong ASIC performance, led by
our high-performance simulation, timing and test solutions, helped to
make the fourth quarter of 1996 the largest sales quarter in Viewlogic's
history.
     We obtained significant ASIC vendor endorsement of our technology
in 1996 in the form of sign-off support from five of the leading ASIC
vendors for our VCS(TM) simulator. VCS retained its leadership as the
fastest available simulator at the behavioral level, and attained a
new leadership position as the fastest simulator at the gate level.
And MOTIVE(TM), our timing analysis product, continues to be the only
commercially available static timing analysis tool worldwide with ASIC
vendor sign-off.
     Additionally, Workview Office(TM), our unique PC-based offering
which provides a complete suite of Windows(R) compliant electronic design
tools, achieved record customer acceptance in 1996. Sales of this product
suite were up 18 percent in 1996 compared with a year ago, and increased
29 percent in the fourth quarter compared with the same period in 1995.

                              25
<PAGE>

     Sales of the high-performance Windows NT segment exceeded our
expectations.
     Our introduction of software solutions for hardware/software co-
development also was extremely successful. We achieved in excess of
$1 million in orders for our Eagle(TM) software solutions in the fourth
quarter, and in February 1997, we completed the acquisition of Eagle
Design Automation. This strategic initiative is in recognition of
the growing importance of software in the product design process as
engineers pursue design methodologies which afford them maximum
flexibility and return on investment.
     Our balance sheet remains very strong. We have no debt, and we
continue to generate significant cash from operations. At year-end, our
cash and marketable securities balance was $67.3 million, an increase
of $6.0 million over year-end 1995. This increase occurred despite the
$7.0 million we paid out in our 1996 stock repurchase program and the $2.8
million we disbursed as part of the payment schedule for our acquisition
of Silerity, Inc.
     Internationally, our investment in direct sales and service operations
in Japan resulted in a 47 percent growth in revenues in Japan year-over-year. 
We appointed a new managing director for Europe in November, and commenced
direct operations in the Benelux nations following our acquisition of TCC,
our former distributor, in December.
     We also made several key appointments to strengthen the Company's
executive management group. Shiv Tasker, an EDA industry veteran, joined
the Company as Senior Vice President - Corporate Marketing and Consulting
Services. David Adey was appointed Vice President - Human Resources, and
Michael Northwood joined us as Managing Director - European Operations. Hal
Julsen completed his first full year as Senior Vice President -
World-wide Sales. (*Also see box, this page.) We believe these appointments
provide Viewlogic with an extraordinary depth of management talent.
     We are gratified by all that our employees accomplished in 1996,
and in particular, we are pleased with the pace of business with which we
finished the year. We believe Viewlogic is better equipped today to address
the challenges of the worldwide electronics marketplace, with a renewed
focus on the fastest growing segments of that market, a strong management
team, and a technology base and product leadership which will enable us to
help our customers succeed in their markets.

Sincerely,

WHAT IF...?

That's the question most frequently asked by product design engineers in
today's nanosecond world as they battle to develop new, complex electronic
systems which will satisfy the market's craving for products that are
faster, more powerful, less expensive, and easier to use.
     In industry after industry, the pace of electronics innovation is
staggering; the pursuit of change, relentless; the need to invent, improve
or enhance, imperative. Stop to smell the roses, and the competition
stomps your garden.
     The rapid pace of electronics innovation has substantially altered the
economies of product development, a major concern made even more challenging
by the demands for shorter time to-market, higher product quality, increased
production volumes, and lower unit costs.
     The adrenaline rush of product design is fueled by the urgency to adopt
new, more efficient electronic design methods, which are prerequisite to
further tightening the product development orbit.
     "What if we change...?"
     "What if we find a way?"
     "What if we could...?"
     "What if...?"
     "HERE'S HOW!"
     That is the response of Viewlogic's engineering teams as they focus on
developing computer-aided engineering solutions for product design engineers
in the burgeoning worldwide electronics marketplace.
     Their mission is to provide those engineers with the best Viewlogic(R)
solutions and services which will enable them to design electronic systems
faster and still meet all their requirements.
     Solutions which address the critical steps of the product design
process: design simulation, synthesis, timing analysis, signal integrity,
and test; sophisticated Viewlogic software solutions which move beyond
traditional hardware verification into the realm of hardware/software
co-development; and advanced initiatives in disciplines as varied as
electro-mechanical verification, power analysis, IC signal integrity
and timing analysis.
     Viewlogic's challenge is to anticipate: to understand not only
the problems faced today by product design engineers, but those they will
be battling tomorrow - and to deliver to those customers the range of
technologies, processes and services which will enable them to triumph.
     What if...?
     Here's how.

The telecommunications industry is literally rocketing into the Twenty-
first century, fueled by a worldwide demand to compress the planet by 
transmitting voice, video, and data communications at superfast speeds
using sophisticated wireless, mobile and satellite technologies
unavailable just a decade ago.
     These product design engineers function in a three dimensional
competitive pressure cooker which stretches outward around the globe as
well as skyward to earth-orbiting satellites; a kind of "Star Wars" 
technological battleground requiring superior electronic design tools
and high-performance design methodologies which enable them to develop,
simulate, test, analyze, and verify highly complex network products in
parallel, rather than serially, one component at a time.
     Viewlogic's Powerview(R) family of high-performance design automation
tools, in combination with the company's SpeedWave(TM) and VCS(TM) simulators,
enable engineers to modify multiple characteristics of a complex system
online, without time-consuming physical prototyping, and quickly evaluate
the impact of the alterations on real-life performance.

<PAGE>

The complex electronic designs which give thousands of consumer products
their sex appeal are a major migraine for product design engineers
confronted by the market's relentless demands for "cheaper/smaller/better/
faster - now!"
     Repeatedly infusing those products with innovative features, increased
power, and enhanced performance necessitates the development of integrated
circuits (ICs) with extraordinary chip densities and signal speeds. Engineers
are pushing miniaturization to the point where it begins to collide with
the rules of quantum physics. Detecting distortions such as cross-talk as 
electrons scream through submicron tunnels in these high-performance circuits
is critical to the successful production of semiconductors and printed 
circuit boards (PCBs).
     Product design engineers use Viewlogic's MOTIVE(TM) timing analysis and
XTK(TM) signal integrity solutions as the "critical enablers" to find
potential failure, isolate and control signal distortion, and simulate,
localize and quantify electromagnetic interference.

The ability to embrace new technologies and incorporate them into the design
of highly sophisticated, precision instruments is most evident in the field
of medical diagnostics, where discovery on the understanding and treatment 
of disease is often linked directly to the invention of equipment which makes
discovery possible.
     Product design engineers in this highly competitive industry face
tremendous technical challenges, as well as relentless pressure to perfect
the complex designs on tighter development schedules in order to meet the
demands of a market which feeds on innovation. Increasingly, they are
integrating the front-end logic and back-end physical design steps to improve
communication between what might work and what really does, a methodology 
which demands hardware and software design tools that possess extraordinary 
intelligence.
     Viewlogic's Workview Office(TM) suite is the dominant solution for
computer-assisted engineering of electronic systems design on Windows(R)
platforms, providing engineers with extraordinary design flexibility at an
affordable price.

                                34
<PAGE>

Among the most vexing product design problems faced by automotive
engineers is developing the electronic modules and interconnect harnesses
which link the complex web of mechanical and electrical systems that control
vehicle performance, safety, fuel efficiency and emissions, and operator/
passenger comfort.
     Their goal is to electronically "fabricate" the logic of a new module/
harness design and link it to a simulated physical wiring configuration 
without ever leaving their workstation keyboards; then analyze and verify
the "real world" performance of the entire system online, modifying,
adjusting and changing components and software without having to undertake
time-consuming and costly repetitive steps for each design iteration.
     Design engineers rely upon Viewlogic's Eagle(TM) hardware/software
co-development solutions to thoroughly check and test multiple software
configurations to create complex electro-mechanical systems which provide
the specific capabilities consumers require in their automobiles.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------
The Company's revenue increased 9.9% from $120,960,000 in 1995 to
$132,919,000 in 1996 and net income increased 294.1% from $2,861,000 in
1995 to $11,276,000 in 1996. Excluding the non-recurring expense of
$6,023,000 in 1995 associated with the fourth quarter acquisition
of Silerity, Inc. ("Silerity") and net gain from investments of $3,898,000
in 1996, net income was $8,884,000 in 1995 and $8,877,000 in 1996.
     On December 19, 1996, the Company acquired The CAE Company B.V. ("TCC")
and Electronic Design Automation Services Europe B.V. ("EDAS"). The 
acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase, and accordingly, the
consolidated financial statements and management's discussion and analysis
reflect the combined operations only after the December 19, 1996
closing date.
     This discussion contains certain forward-looking statements which
involve risks and uncertainties, and the Company's actual results may
differ from those discussed. Some of the factors that might cause such a 
difference are discussed below. (See "Factors That May Affect Future Results

</TABLE>

Revenue
- -------
The Company derives revenue primarily from the licensing of its software
products. In addition, the Company derives revenue from the provision of
maintenance, consulting and training services to customers. Maintenance
revenue constitutes the majority of services and other revenue.
     The Company's revenue increased by 2.0% from $118,580,000 in 1994 to
$120,960,000 in 1995 and increased by 9.9% to $132,919,000 in 1996. Software
revenue decreased 11.8% from 1994 to 1995 and increased 6.1% from 1995 to
1996. The increase in the revenue growth rate from 1995 to 1996 was
primarily due to the strong product sales of the Company's ASIC tool suite
and increased sales in Japan. Product revenue from the Company's ASIC tool
suite, which includes Viewlogic's Chronologic VCS(TM), Quad Design Motive(TM)
and Sunrise Testgen(TM) tools, increased over 50% from 1995 to 1996. These
increases were offset by less than expected sales in the European market. The
European market has historically been more oriented toward system design
products and offers less opportunity for the Company's ASIC tool offerings.
Services and other revenue increased 40.6% from 1994 to 1995 and increased
16.4% from 1995 to 1996. These increases were due to the increase in
maintenance and customer support revenue from a growing installed base of
customers, as well as increased consulting and customization services and
increased training programs. The larger growth rate in services and other
revenue in 1995 was largely attributable to a significant increase in
consulting revenue in 1995. For the immediate future, the Company anticipates
that the rate of growth of services and other revenue will be at least equal
to the software revenue growth rate. The Company's percentage of revenue
attributable to software product licenses decreased from 73.6% in 1994 to
63.6% in 1995 and to 61.4% in 1996 due to a larger increase in services and
other revenue.
     International revenue represented 34.5%, 35.1% and 35.1%, respectively,
of total revenue in 1994, 1995 and 1996. International revenues remained
constant in 1996 due to the positive impact of the Company's direct sales
operation in Japan where revenues increased 46.5% from 1995 to 1996, offset
by the decrease in revenues in Europe. Revenue from Europe, including export
sales, was $22,673,000, $22,080,000 and $20,163,000 or 19.1%, 18.3% and
15.2% of total Company revenue, respectively, in 1994, 1995 and 1996. No
customer accounted for more than 10% of revenue in 1994, 1995 or 1996.

                               37
<PAGE>

Cost of Software Revenue
- ------------------------
Cost of software revenue consists primarily of expenses associated with
product documentation, packaging, royalty costs, amortization of capitalized
software and purchased technology costs, duplication and order administration
costs. Cost of software revenue increased from $9,681,000 in 1994 to
$10,887,000 in 1995 and to $11,472,000 in 1996, representing 11.1%, 14.1% and
14.0% of software revenue, respectively. Cost of software revenue increased
in 1996 primarily due to increased amortization of purchased software
costs, increased amortization of capitalized software and increased costs in
Europe and Japan. These amounts are partially offset by decreased 
documentation costs. The increase in cost of software revenue as a percentage
of software revenue from 11.1% in 1994 to the 14.0% range in 1995 and 1996 is
largely attributable to higher royalty costs paid as a result of increased
third-party content in the Company's product offerings.

Cost of Services and Other Revenue
- ----------------------------------
Cost of services and other revenue consists primarily of customer support
and training expenses and the expense of consulting services provided to 
customers. Cost of services and other revenue increased from $9,348,000 in
1994 to $11,102,000 in 1995 and to $12,996,000 in 1996, representing 29.9%,
25.2% and 25.4% of services and other revenue, respectively. The increases in
1995 and 1996 reflect higher personnel-related costs associated with
increased customer support and training costs and an increase in outside
consulting fees required to support the Company's growing customer base. The
decrease in the expense as a percentage of revenue from 1994 to 1995 and 1996
reflects better utilization of customer support and consulting services.

Selling and Marketing Expenses
- ------------------------------
Selling and marketing expenses decreased from $56,226,000 in 1994 to
$55,021,000 in 1995 and increased to $58,294,000 in 1996. The decrease in
1995 was due in part to a cost-effective change in sales compensation policies
and lower bad debt expense. The increase in 1996 is due primarily to higher
personnel-related costs due to the increase in the number of sales and
marketing personnel from 259 in 1995 to 292 in 1996 and increased selling
and marketing costs in Japan required to support the establishment of a direct
sales operation. As a percentage of revenue, selling and marketing expenses
decreased from 47.4% in 1994 to 45.4% in 1995 and to 43.9% in 1996.

Research and Development Expenses
- ---------------------------------
Research and development expenses increased from $20,255,000 in 1994 to
$22,644,000 in 1995 and to $27,412,000 in 1996. Research and development
expenses as a percentage of revenue increased from 17.1% in 1994 to 18.7% in
1995 and to 20.6% in 1996. Increased research and development expenses in
1995 and 1996 resulted primarily from higher personnel-related costs and
outside consulting costs associated with the development of new products and
enhancement of existing products. The Company anticipates that it will 
continue to devote substantial resources to product research and development.
The increases in research and development expenses as a percentage of revenue
in 1995 and 1996 reflect the Company's commitment to continue to develop new
products and enhance existing products.
     Software development costs are accounted for in accordance with SFAS
No. 86, under which the Company is required to capitalize software development
costs once technological feasibility has been established. The amount of
software development costs capitalized for 1994, 1995 and 1996 was
$2,164,000, $2,349,000 and $2,759,000 respectively, representing 9.7%, 9.4%
and 9.1% of total research and development costs in those years. The
Company amortizes such amounts over four years. See Note 1 to Consolidated
Financial Statements. The amortization of capitalized software included in
cost of software revenue was $900,000, $1,837,000 and $2,137,000 in
1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

Purchased Research and Development
- ----------------------------------
The Company recorded non-recurring expenses of $15,377,000 in the third
quarter of 1994 and $6,023,000 in the fourth quarter of 1995 for purchased
research and development expenses associated with the Sunrise Test Systems,
Inc. ("Sunrise") and Silerity acquisitions, respectively.

General and Administrative Expenses
- -----------------------------------
General and administrative expenses decreased from $10,572,000 in 1994 to
$9,049,000 in 1995 and increased to $10,619,000 in 1996. As a percentage of
revenue, general and administrative expenses decreased from 8.9% to 7.5%
and increased to 8.0% during such periods. Non-recurring costs of $3,100,000

                                38
<PAGE>


associated with the merger with Chronologic Simulation ("Chronologic") are
included in the 1994 expenses. Excluding this non-recurring item, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue were 6.3% in 1994. The
increases in 1995 and 1996 are mainly due to increases in recruitment and
employee relocation costs arising from high turnover in the Company's sales
and product development organizations. The 1995 costs also included legal
fees resulting from increased litigation.

Income (Loss) from Operations
- -----------------------------
The Company's operating income increased from an operating loss of
$2,879,000 in 1994 to operating income of $6,234,000 in 1995 and
$12,126,000 in 1996. Operating income (loss) as a percentage of revenue
increased from (2.4%) in 1994 to 5.2% in 1995 and 9.1% in 1996. Excluding
the non-recurring costs associated with the Chronologic merger and the
Sunrise and Silerity purchases, the Company reported income from operations
in 1994 and 1995 of $15,598,000 and $12,257,000, respectively. Income
from operations as a percentage of revenue, excluding the non-recurring costs,
decreased from 13.2% in 1994 to 10.1% in 1995 and to 9.1% in 1996. The
decreases in 1995 and 1996 are primarily due to lower than anticipated sales
growth in those years on higher fixed expense bases.

Interest Income, Net
- --------------------
Net interest income increased from $1,538,000 in 1994 to $1,991,000 in
1995 and decreased to $1,982,000 in 1996. The increase in 1995 is primarily
due to higher interest income earned on increased cash and marketable
securities balances. The slight decrease in 1996 is primarily due to lower
interest rates earned on cash and marketable securities in that year.

Other Income (Expense), Net
- ---------------------------
Other expense, net in 1994 and 1995 are almost entirely attributable to
foreign exchange transaction losses of $25,000 and $400,000, respectively,
offset by a capital gain of $258,000 on the sale of marketable securities in
1995. Other income in 1996 primarily includes a gain of $6,598,000 on the
sale of an investment offset by $2,174,000 of losses recognized under the 
equity method of accounting for the Company's investment in Eagle Design
Automation, Inc. ("Eagle").

Income Taxes
- ------------
The provision for federal and state income taxes increased from
$4,928,000 in 1994 to $5,328,000 in 1995 and $7,056,000 in 1996. These tax
provisions represent effective tax rates of 35.2%, 37.5% and 38.5% in 1994,
1995 and 1996, respectively, after excluding the non-recurring costs of
$15,377,000 in 1994 and $6,023,000 in 1995 related to purchased research and
development associated with the Sunrise and Silerity acquisitions, 
respectively, which are not tax deductible. The effective tax rate increases in
1995 and 1996 primarily reflect higher tax rates incurred on increased
profitability in Japan in both of those years and non-deductible expenses
incurred under the equity method of accounting for the Company's investment
in Eagle for 1996.

Net Income (Loss)
- -----------------
Net income increased from a net loss of $6,317,000 ($0.36 per share) in 1994
to net income of $2,861,000 ($0.17 per share) in 1995 and $11,276,000
($0.66 per share) in 1996. Excluding the after-tax effect of non-recurring 
items ($17,609,000 in 1994 and $6,023,000 in 1995), net income was 
$11,292,000 or $0.65 per share in 1994 and $8,884,000 or $0.52 per share in
1995. After excluding the after-tax effect of the net gain on investments,
net income was $8,877,000, or $0.52 per share, in 1996. See Note 1 to
Consolidated Financial Statements.

Factors That May Affect Future Results and Financial Condition
- --------------------------------------------------------------
Future financial results are difficult or impossible to predict, despite the
Company's past financial performance. Intense competition and rapid
technological changes are inherent in the EDA industry. The Company faces the
many risks and uncertainties posed by that competition and technological
change, including success in continuously developing and marketing new
products; protection of its products by effective utilization of 
intellectual property laws; product quality, reliability, ease of use,
feature set and price; diversity of product line; general economic and
business conditions in the United States and abroad; the ability to hire,
retain and motivate highly qualified personnel; business conditions and
growth in the EDA industry; industry-wide price erosion; and customer
acceptance of the Company's products.
     The Company's products are in various stages of their life cycles. The
Company's success is dependent on its ability to develop complex and
competitive new products, to introduce them to the marketplace ahead of the
competition and to have them selected by customers. The Company is striving

                             39
<PAGE>

to bring new products to market to meet customer needs, but there is no
assurance that it will succeed in doing so. Since product life cycles are
continually becoming shorter, if new product introductions are delayed or if
new products do not address market needs then revenues and profits for current
and future products may be affected as customers may shift to competitors to
meet their requirements. The Company's competitors consist of large
companies, many of which have greater market share and substantially greater
financial and other resources than the Company; emerging companies with new
and innovative technology; and customers who develop their own EDA tools.
     As is common in the software industry, the Company frequently ships
more product in the third month of each quarter than in either of the first
two months of the quarter, and shipments in the third month are higher at the
end of that month. This pattern is likely to continue. The concentration of
sales in the last month of the quarter makes the Company's quarterly
financial results difficult to predict. Also, if sufficient business does not
materialize or a disruption in the Company's production or shipping occurs
near the end of a quarter, the Company's revenues for that quarter may be
materially adversely affected.
     A substantial portion of the Company's revenue is derived from its 
international operations. As a result, the Company's operations and financial
results could be significantly affected by international factors, such as
weak economic conditions in foreign markets and differing technology or 
product preferences in different countries.
     The highly technical nature of the Company's products and services and
the intense competition in the Company's markets heightens the need and
importance of hiring, retaining and motivating highly qualified technical
personnel. The intense competition in the EDA industry increases the
difficulty in doing so and has created a shortage of highly qualified
engineering and sales personnel.
     Because of these and other factors, past financial results may not be a
useful predictor of future results and any forward looking statements about
the Company's financial performance, business operations and other factors
should be viewed with caution. Also, the Company's participation in a highly
dynamic industry often results in significant volatility of the
Company's common stock price.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The Company has funded its operations to date primarily through sales of
equity securities, equipment financing leases, and since 1990, positive cash
flows from operations.
     As of December 31, 1996, the Company had $67,344,000 of cash and
marketable securities (including $5,565,000 classified as non-current). The
Company has $57,241,000 of working capital. As of December 31, 1996, the
Company had $44,126,000 in current liabilities and $17,141,000 in minimum
operating lease obligations. See Note 8 to Consolidated Financial
Statements.
     The Company has consistently generated cash from operations with net
cash generated by operating activities declining by 32.6% from $25,600,000
in 1994 to $17,262,000 in 1995 and growing by 14.7% to $19,808,000 in
1996. The Company's cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities
(both current and non-current) has increased by $12,127,000 over the two
year period from $55,217,000 as of December 31, 1994 to the $67,344,000
balance as of December 31, 1996. The increase occurred even though the
Company expended $6,767,000 to purchase Silerity, TCC and EDAS and
$10,568,000 to repurchase certain outstanding shares of the Company's common
stock. In October 1995, the Company's Board of Directors authorized
the Company to repurchase up to 2,000,000 shares of the Company's common
stock from time to time over the next year as market and business conditions
warrant in open market, negotiated and block transactions. This authorization
was later extended for an additional year to October 1997. The repurchased
shares will be used in the Company's stock option plans and employee stock
purchase plans and for general corporate purposes. As of December 31, 1996
the Company has spent $10,568,000 to repurchase 1,000,000 shares.
     On February 19, 1997, the Company purchased the 80% of the capital
stock of Eagle not previously owned by the Company for an initial cash payment
of $5,788,000 and certain future contingent payments. See Note 3 to
Consolidated Financial Statements.
     Based on its operating plan, the Company currently believes that its 
available cash and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to fund
the Company's operations for the foreseeable future.
     The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 125,
"Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and 
Extinguishments of Liabilities," as amended by SFAS No. 127, which is
effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments
of liabilities occurring after December 31, 1996. The Company will adopt SFAS
No. 125 in 1997, however management does not believe that adoption will have a
material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
         (In thousands, except share and per share data)

1.  NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business
- ------------------
Viewlogic Systems, Inc. (the "Company") was founded in 1984. Subsidiaries
of the Company operate in the United States, Europe, Japan and India and
include Viewlogic Europe BV, Viewlogic Systems Japan, Viewlogic Systems
India Private Ltd., Quad Design Technology, Inc. ("Quad"), Chronologic
Simulation ("Chronologic"), Sunrise Test Systems, Inc. ("Sunrise"), Silerity,
Inc. ("Silerity"), The CAE Company B.V. ("TCC") and Electronic Design
Automation Services Europe B.V. ("EDAS"). The Company and its subsidiaries
develop, market and support a comprehensive family of software products
that aid engineers in the design of advanced electronic products. The Company
markets its products in the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia, Australia,
Africa and South America.

Use of Estimates
- ----------------
The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and 
disclosure of certain assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date.
Actual results may differ from such estimates.

Principles of Consolidation
- ---------------------------
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Viewlogic
Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Investments in affiliates owned 20% or more are accounted for using the equity
method. Investments in affiliates which are less than 20% owned are recorded
under the cost method and are included in deposits and other.

Foreign Currency Translation
- ----------------------------
The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are translated in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 52.
Foreign currency gains and (losses) included in other income and expense were
$130, $(354) and $(25) for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.

Revenue Recognition
- -------------------
SOFTWARE - Revenue from the sale of software licenses is recognized upon
receipt of a signed order and software license agreement and shipment of
the product, provided that no significant obligations remain and collection of
the receivable is considered probable.

SERVICES AND OTHER - Revenue from training and consulting is recognized
as the related services are performed. Maintenance revenue is deferred and
recognized ratably over the maintenance period, generally twelve months.

Property and Equipment
- ----------------------
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided on the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets
(three to five years). Equipment leased under capital leases is amortized
over the lesser of its useful life or the lease term. During 1996, the Company
wrote off $7,391 of fully depreciated assets.

Capitalization of Software Costs
- --------------------------------
Certain software costs for products and product enhancements are capitalized
after technological feasibility has been established. Amortization is provided
over estimated lives of four years. Accumulated amortization was approximately
$5,523 and $4,280 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Goodwill
- --------
Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 7 years. The
carrying value of goodwill is reviewed whenever events or circumstances
occur which indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
Accumulated amortization was $527 and $294 at December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.

Purchased Technology
- --------------------
Purchased technology comprises acquired software and is recorded at cost.
Amortization is provided over estimated lives of five to six years.
Accumulated amortization was approximately $3,054 and $2,189 at December 31,
1996 and 1995, respectively.

Income Taxes
- ------------
Deferred income taxes are provided on items recognized in different periods
for financial reporting purposes than for income tax purposes. Deferred income
taxes relate primarily to temporary differences in the recognition of
depreciation expense, capitalized software costs, provisions for doubtful
accounts and the utilization of net operating losses for financial and tax
reporting purposes.

Foreign Exchange Contracts
- --------------------------
The Company enters into foreign exchange contracts as a hedge against certain
foreign accounts receivable. Market value gains and losses are recognized, and
the resulting credit or debit offsets foreign exchange gains or losses on
those

                              45
<PAGE>

receivables. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign exchange
contracts for fiscal year 1996 were insignificant.

Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities
- ------------------------------------------
Cash equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments, which consist
primarily of time deposits, money market and equity securities, purchased with
remaining maturities of three months or less. Marketable securities consist
primarily of municipal bonds, government debt securities and equity 
securities.
     Marketable securities, classified as available for sale, consist of
securities having maturity dates of more than three months and equity
securities and are stated at fair value. Marketable securities maturing more
than one year from the balance sheet date are classified as non-current.
Aggregate unrealized holding gains, net of tax, of $1,470 and $3,537 at 
December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, have been included as a separate
component of stockholders' equity in the accompanying consolidated balance 
sheets.

Income (Loss) Per Common Share
- ------------------------------
Income (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number
of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during each year. Common
stock equivalents consist of stock options and warrants (using the treasury 
stock method). Fully diluted and primary earnings per share are the same for
each year.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
- -----------------------------------
The estimated fair value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and
debt approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these
instruments. The fair value of marketable securities is based on current
market values.

Stock-Based Compensation
- -------------------------
The Company uses the intrinsic value-based method of Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 25, as permitted by SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-
Based Compensation," to account for employee stock-based compensation
plans.

Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 125, "Accounting
for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of
Liabilities," as amended by SFAS No. 127, which is effective for transfers and
servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring
after December 31, 1996. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 125 in 1997, however
management does not believe that adoption will have a material effect on
the Company's consolidated financial statements.

2.  ACQUISITIONS

The CAE Company B.V. and Electronic Design Automation Services Europe B.V.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
On December 19, 1996, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital
stock of TCC and EDAS, both companies under common ownership, for $900. 
This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and the total purchase
price of $908 including expenses of $8 was allocated to the assets acquired
and the liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values.
This allocation resulted in goodwill of $1,049. If TCC and EDAS had been
acquired as of the beginning of 1995, the effect on the consolidated results
of operations would not have been significant.

                             46

Silerity, Inc.
- --------------
On December 15, 1995, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital
stock of Silerity for $6,209 in cash and assumption of stock options valued at
$14, net of $6 in tax benefits plus certain contingent payments. This
acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and the total purchase price of
$6,373, including expenses of $156, was allocated to the assets acquired
and the liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values. Of the
total, $6,023 was allocated to purchased research and development and was
charged to expense as of the acquisition date. In addition, the purchase
agreement requires the Company to pay certain employee shareholders on
March 31, 1997 and on March 31 of each of the three subsequent years an
earnout amount based on target revenue from certain products. The maximum 
payout for calendar years 1997, 1998 and 1999 is $1,125, $1,500 and $1,875, 
respectively. These payouts will be recorded as compensation if earned. There
was no payout for 1996.
     In connection with the purchase of Silerity, the Chief Executive Officer
of the Company, who was formerly the President of Silerity, received $1,131
for his 20% share of Silerity's common stock. He will not participate in any
future earnout payments.

Sunrise Test Systems, Inc.
- --------------------------
On September 23, 1994, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital
stock of Sunrise for $16,412 in cash, assumption of stock options valued at
$1,430, net of $576 in tax benefits, and conversion of a $1,000 convertible
subordinated promissory note owed to the Company. This acquisition was
accounted for as a purchase and the total purchase price of $19,386, including
expenses of $1,120, was allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities
assumed based upon their estimated fair values. Of the total, $15,377 was
allocated to purchased research and development and was charged to expense
as of the acquisition date. This allocation resulted in goodwill of $1,635
which is being amortized over 7 years and purchased software of $4,088
to be amortized over 5 years.

Chronologic Simulation
- ----------------------
On March 31, 1994 Viewlogic VMS 3 Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary
of Viewlogic Systems, Inc., was merged with and into Chronologic with
Chronologic being the surviving corporation pursuant to an Agreement of
Reorganization (the "Reorganization Agreement") dated March 30, 1994. Under
the terms of the Reorganization Agreement, the holders of Chronologic's
common stock received 911,593 shares of Viewlogic common stock. The
merger was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests.
    In connection with the merger with Chronologic in March 1994 the Company
recorded one-time charges for merger and pooling costs of $3,100 to reflect
the combination of operations of the two companies. Included in these costs are
legal, investment banking and accounting fees associated with the
transactions and costs associated with combining the operations of previously
separate companies and instituting efficiencies. These costs also include 
costs associated with the cancellation of original equipment manufacturer
contracts with a competitor of Chronologic, as well as compensation expense of
approximately $960 attributable to grants of options by Chronologic prior to
the merger.

3.  OTHER INVESTMENTS

In January 1995, the Company acquired a 20% interest in Eagle Design
Automation, Inc. ("Eagle") for $500 in cash. From 1995 to February 1997, the
Company made additional net advances to Eagle of $2,516. The Company's
aggregate investment in Eagle represents 73% of the capital at risk in Eagle.
Accordingly, the Company has recognized losses of $350 and $2,321 in 1995
and 1996, respectively, representing 73% of Eagle's operating losses.
     On February 19, 1997, the Company purchased the 80% of Eagle capital
stock not previously owned for $5,788 in cash and assumption of net
liabilities. The Company is also required to pay the former shareholders of
Eagle additional payments based on the sale by the Company of Eagle's products
over the three year period beginning after certain sales targets have been
met. There are no minimum or maximum payments based on the sale of Eagle's
products; however, if current sales projections are met, such additional
payments could total approximately $5,500.
     A director of the Company was the President, director and principal
shareholder of Eagle. Another director of the Company is the President and
Chief Executive Officer of TTI Partners, the General Partner of Transitions
Three, Limited Partnership. Transitions Three, Limited Partnership also
owned 20% of Eagle.

5.  LINE OF CREDIT

The Company has a working capital line of credit (unused at December 31,
1996) which allows borrowings up to the lesser of 80% of eligible domestic
and international accounts receivable, or $12.5 million, and expires on
February 28, 1997. Interest is charged at the prime rate which was 8.25% at
December 31, 1996. The Company does not plan to renew this credit line.
     The line of credit agreement requires compliance with certain financial
ratios and, among other terms, requires maintenance of minimum levels of
working capital and tangible net worth.

6.  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Stock Option Plan
- -----------------
Under the Company's 1991 Restated Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"), non-
qualified and incentive stock options to purchase up to a maximum of
6,849,000 shares of common stock may be granted to certain employees,
officers, consultants and directors at exercise prices not less than fair
market value at the date of grant. Options become exercisable in installments
of 25% per year on each of the first through the fourth anniversaries of
the grant date and continue for the period determined by the Board of 
Directors but may not exceed ten years for incentive stock options and five 
years for incentive stock options granted to 10% shareholders. At December 31,
1996, 1,304,026 shares were available for grant under the Plan.
     During 1995, the Company adopted a Stock Exchange Program pursuant
to its 1991 Restated Stock Option Plan. The program provided grants to 
non-executive officer employees of new stock options with a new vesting
schedule in exchange for the cancellation of one or more of the stock
options then held by each employee. There were 1,325,248 options exchanged 
under this program in 1995.

Outside Director's Stock Option Plan
- ------------------------------------
In December 1995, the Company adopted the 1996 Outside Directors' Stock
Option Plan (the "1996 Director Plan") which permits the granting of 
non-qualified options to purchase up to a maximum of 400,000 shares of common
stock to non-employee members of the Board of Directors. The exercise price

                            48
<PAGE>

of the options may not be less than fair market value on the date of grant.
This 1996 Director Plan replaced a similar plan established in 1991. Options
under the 1996 Director Plan become exercisable upon grant and continue for
the period determined by the Board of Directors but may not exceed five years.
As of December 31, 1996, 340,000 shares were available for grant under the
1996 Director Plan.
     The following is a summary of all option activity under the Plan,
the 1996 Director Plan and the predecessor plan:

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
- ----------------------------
In February 1996, the Company adopted the 1996 Employee Stock Purchase
Plan (the "1996 Stock Purchase Plan"), which permits eligible employees to
purchase up to a maximum of 600,000 shares of common stock. Under the
terms of the plan, employees can choose semi-annually to have up to 10% of
their annual base earnings withheld to purchase the Company's common stock.
The purchase price of the stock is 85% of the lower of its beginning-of-period
or end-of-period market price. The 1996 Stock Purchase Plan replaced a similar
plan established in 1994. During 1996, 1995 and 1994, there were 169,290,
174,094 and 78,908 shares, respectively, issued under the Company's
1994 and 1996 Stock Purchase Plans.
     The weighted average fair value of purchase rights granted in
1996 and 1995 was $4.94 and $4.15, respectively.

Stock Repurchase
- ----------------
In October 1995, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the Company
to repurchase up to 2 million shares of the Company's common stock from
time to time over the next year as market and business conditions warrant
in open market, negotiated and block transactions. This authorization was
later extended to October 1997. The repurchased shares will be used in the
Company's stock option plans and employee stock purchase plans and for
general corporate purposes. During 1996 and 1995, the Company repurchased

                             49
<PAGE>

680,000 and 320,000 shares of common stock for $7,003 and $3,565,
respectively, which is shown as treasury stock.

Pro forma Disclosures
- ---------------------
As described in Note 1, the Company applies the intrinsic value method of
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and related Interpretations in
accounting for its stock option and purchase plans. Accordingly, no 
compensation cost has been recognized for its stock option plans and its stock
purchase plan. Had compensation cost been determined based on the fair value
at the grant dates for awards under those plans consistent with the method of
FASB Statement 123, the Company's net income and net income per share for the
years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 would have been as follows:

<TABLE>

Net income per common and
 common equivalent share                       $ 0.42        $ 0.01
</TABLE>

     For purposes of the pro forma disclosures, the fair value of the options
granted under the Company's stock option plans during 1996 and 1995 was
estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The fair value of employee purchase rights under the Company's stock purchase
plans was also estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
Key assumptions used to apply this pricing model are as follows:

     In 1987, one of the Company's subsidiaries received a tax grant from the
government of The Netherlands. The subsidiary's obligation to repay the grant
is reduced each year until 1997 by the amount of income taxes paid to The
Netherlands government. In January 1997 the grant was repaid. For financial
reporting purposes, the grant was recorded as a deferred tax liability.
The change from 1995 to 1996 results from the effect of foreign exchange
rates of $108.
     A reconciliation between statutory and effective federal income
tax rates is as follows:

8.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Leases
- ------
The Company leases its principal office facilities and certain computer
equipment under noncancelable operating leases expiring on various dates
through 2002. The Company's headquarters office lease includes three two-
year renewal options to extend the lease through 2008. The lease contains a
three-month rental abatement and a rental escalation clause, the effects of
which are being recognized ratably over the lease term. At December 31, 1996,
future minimum lease payments under these noncancelable leases were
approximately as follows: 1997, $4,733; 1998, $3,925; 1999, $2,866; 2000, 
$2,463; 2001, $1,751; 2002, $1,403. The Company leases other office 
facilities under operating lease agreements for which lease terms are one
year or less. Total rent expense was approximately $6,265, $5,874 and $4,587
for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express anopinion
on these financial statements based on our audits.
     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test 
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the 
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
     In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
Company at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 
31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
