ITEM 4.           CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.

         On March 23, 2000, pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization dated as of September 16, 2000 (the "Reorganization Agreement")
by and among the Registrant, Hood Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and
a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant ("Merger Sub"), and Viewlogic
Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Viewlogic"), Merger Sub merged with and
into Viewlogic with Viewlogic surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Registrant (the "Merger"). Pursuant to the terms of the Reorganization
Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), the
shares of capital stock of Viewlogic issued and outstanding immediately prior to
the Effective Time were automatically converted into shares of the Registrant's
common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock"). The shares of
Common Stock issued by the Registrant in the transaction were registered on a
Registration Statement on Form S-4 (Commission File No. 333-89491) which was
declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 14,
2000.

         Due to the conversion of Viewlogic's then-outstanding capital stock to
Common Stock, the former holders of Viewlogic's capital stock held as of the
Effective Time approximately 51% of the shares of Common Stock. As the former
stockholders of Viewlogic held a controlling interest in the Registrant as of
the Effective Time, for accounting purposes, the acquisition was a "reverse
acquisition", and Viewlogic was the "accounting acquirer". Therefore,
Viewlogic's accounts are being recorded at historical cost, and the assets and
liabilities of the Registrant are being recorded at their estimated fair value
as of the closing date of the Merger.

         Due to this accounting treatment of the Merger, subsequent to the
Effective Time management of the Registrant, together with the Audit
Committee of the Registrant's Board of Directors (the "Audit Committee"),
evaluated whether PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC"), then the Registrant's
independent auditors, or Deloitte & Touche LLP ("D&T"), Viewlogic's
independent auditors prior to the Merger, should be engaged as the
Registrant's independent auditors for the current fiscal year. On June 23,
2000, the Registrant dismissed PwC as its independent auditors and engaged
D&T to audit its financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ending
December 30, 2000. The decision to change auditors was recommended by the
Audit Committee and approved by the Registrant's Board of Directors.

         During the fiscal years ended December 31, 1998 and 1999 and through
the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, there has not been any
disagreement with PwC on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which
disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC would have caused
PwC to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection
with any report issued by PwC. The reports of PwC on the Registrant's
financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 1998 and
1999, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were
not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principles. <PAGE>

         During the Registrant's two most recent fiscal years and through the
date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Registrant did not consult with D&T
regarding: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified
transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that
might be rendered on the Registrant's financial statements, and either a written
report was provided to the Registrant or oral advice was provided that the
Registrant believes D&T concluded was an important factor considered by the
Registrant in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial
reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a
disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K)
or a reportable event (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of
Regulation S-K).
