ITEM 4.  Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

         As  of  December  12,  1996,  the  Registrant  has  dismissed   Roberts
Accountancy   Corporation  as  the  independent  accountant  for  Anagram,  Inc.
("Anagram"),  the  Registrant's  wholly owned subsidiary and appointed KPMG Peat
Marwick  LLP as  principal  accountants.  The  Registrant  acquired  Anagram  on
September  27,  1996,  and the  Registrant's  principal  accountants  previously
expressed  reliance  on  Roberts   Accountancy   Corporation's   report  in  the
Registrant's Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-11659).  The Audit
Committee of the board of directors of the  Registrant has approved the decision
to change accountants.

         The reports of Roberts  Accountancy  Corporation on Anagram's financial
statements  for each of the two years in the period ended  December 31, 1995 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.

         In connection with the audits of Anagram's financial statements for the
two years ended  December 31, 1995 and the subsequent  interim  periods prior to
September  20, 1996,  there were no  disagreements  between  Anagram and Roberts
Accouncy  Corporation  on any matters of  accounting  principles  or  practices,
financial statement  disclosure,  or auditing scope and procedures which, if not
resolved to the  satisfaction  of Roberts  Accountancy  Corporation,  would have
caused Roberts Accountancy  Corporation to make reference to the matter in their
reports.

         There were no reportable  events (as defined in Regulation S-K Item 304
(a)(1)(v))  during the two years  ended  December  31,  1995 and the  subsequent
interim periods prior to September 20, 1996.

         The Registrant requested Roberts Accountancy  Corporation to furnish it
with a letter  addressed  to the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  stating
whether or not Roberts Accountancy Corporation agrees with the above statements,
which letter is attached hereto as exhibit 16.1.

Item 5. Other Events.

         On October 29, 1996 and  November  27,  1996,  the Company  consummated
transactions  to acquire  Meta-Software,  Inc.  ("Meta")  and  FrontLine  Design
Automation,  Inc.("FrontLine"),  respectively,  in transactions accounted for as
poolings-of-interest. The Company is currently undertaking to file a Form S-3 to
register the shares issued in connection with the  acquisition of FrontLine.  In
accordance with SEC requirements, the Company is providing supplemental selected
financial  data,  supplemental  quarterly  financial  information,  supplemental
management's  discussion  and  analysis of  financial  condition  and results of
operations, and supplemental consolidated financial statements which give effect
to  the  acquisition  of  Meta  and  FrontLine.   These  supplemental  financial
statements will become the historical financial statements of Avant! Corporation
and subsidiaries after financial statements covering the respective dates of the
consummation of the business combinations are issued.

         In addition,  the Company is providing  historical  selected  financial
data,  historical  quarterly  financial  information,   historical  management's
discussion and analysis, and historical  consolidated financial statements which
give  effect to the  acquisition  of Anagram,  Inc.,  which was  consummated  on
September 27, 1996.

         The financial  information  referenced above is set forth as summarized

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         We were previously principal  accountants for Anagram,  Inc. and, under
the date of March 14, 1996 and  September 18, 1996, we reported on the financial
statements of Anagram,  Inc. as of and for the years ended December 31, 1995 and
1994.  In  December  1996,  our   appointment  as  principal   accountants  was

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF SUPPLEMENTAL
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Overview

Avant!  resulted  from the  merger of ArcSys,  Inc.  ("ArcSys")  and  Integrated
Silicon  Systems,  Inc.  ("ISS") on November 27, 1995.  Effective  September 27,
1996,  October  29,  1996,  and  November  27,  1996  Avant!   acquired  Anagram
Incorporated  ("Anagram"),  Meta-Software,  Inc.  (Meta),  and FrontLine  Design
Automation,  Inc.  ("FrontLine"), respectively. The ISS merger, and the Anagram,
Meta   and   FrontLine   acquisitions   have   been   accounted   for   by   the
pooling-of-interests method, and accordingly, Avant!'s supplemental consolidated
financial  statements  give  retroactive  effect for all  periods  presented  to
include the results of operations,  financial  position,  and cash flows of ISS,
Anagram, Meta, and FrontLine.


Avant!  develops,  markets,  and supports  software  products that assist design
engineers in the physical layout,  design,  verification,  simulation and timing
analysis  of  advanced  ICs.  Avant!'s  strategy  is to  focus  on  productivity
enhancing software for the ICDA segment of the EDA market.

ArcSys was founded in  February  1991,  and began  shipping  Aquarius  (formerly
ArcCell),  its cell-based place and route software  product,  in 1993. ISS began
shipping its initial  physical layout software  products in 1988. ISS introduced
Hercules (formerly VeriCheck),  its hierarchical physical verification software,
in the third  quarter of 1992.  ISS  introduced  its signal  integrity  analysis
software in 1994. Anagram was founded in March 1993, and began shipping ADM, its
high-capacity  circuit simulation and high-accuracy timing analysis software, in
December 1994.  Meta was founded in 1980,  when it introduced its simulation and
library  software  products  including  HSPICE.  FrontLine  was founded in 1993.
Substantially all of Avant!'s,  Anagram's,  Meta's and FrontLine's  revenue on a
combined basis for 1993, 1994, 1995 and the nine months ended September 30, 1996
was derived  from the  licensing  and  support of  Aquarius,  Hercules,  ADM and
HSPICE.

Revenue

Revenue consists  primarily of fees for licenses of Avant!'s software  products,
maintenance and customer support.  Revenue from the sale of software licenses is
recognized after shipment of the products,  delivery of permanent  authorization
codes,  and  fulfillment  of  acceptance  terms,  if  any,   providing  that  no
significant vendor and post-contract  support  obligations remain and collection
of the related  receivable is probable.  Any remaining  insignificant  vendor or
post-contract  support  obligations  are  accrued  at the  time the  revenue  is
recognized.  In  instances  where  there is a  contingency  regarding  the sale,
revenue  recognition is delayed until the  contingency  has been resolved.  When
Avant!  receives  advance  payment for  software  products,  such  payments  are
reported as deferred  revenue until all conditions for revenue  recognition  are
met. Avant!  has entered into certain license  agreements  under which software,
support and other  services are provided to a customer for a bundled price for a
specific period. Generally,  revenue under such agreements is recognized ratably
over the contract period. Maintenance revenue is deferred and recognized ratably
over the term of the maintenance  agreement,  which is typically  twelve months.
Revenue from customer training,  support and other services is recognized as the
service is performed.

Avant!'s total revenue  increased 74% from $22,560,000 in 1993 to $39,344,000 in
1994,  increased 75% to  $68,868,000  in 1995 from 1994,  and increased 62% from
$47,650,000  in the first nine months of 1995 to  $77,293,000  in the first nine
months of 1996.  The  percentage of Avant!'s  revenue  attributable  to software
licenses decreased slightly from 81% in 1993 to 79% in 1994, and to 80% in 1995,
and  decreased  from 80% in the first  nine  months of 1995 to 78% for the first
nine months of 1996.  This decrease is primarily due to the increased  user base
and resulting increase in maintenance revenue.

Software revenue  increased 70% from $18,238,000 in 1993 to $30,929,000 in 1994,
increased  78% to  $55,164,000  in  1995  from  1994,  and  increased  58%  from
$38,071,000  in the first nine months of 1995 to  $60,030,000  in the first nine
months of 1996.  Increases in software  revenue were due  primarily to increased
license  revenue  from  Avant!'s  place and  route,  physical  verification  and
simulation and timing software.  Services revenue  increased 95% from $4,322,000
in 1993 to $8,415,000 in 1994,  and  increased 63% to  $13,704,000  in 1995 from
1994,  and  increased  80% from  $9,579,000  in the first nine months of 1995 to
$17,263,000 in the first nine months of 1996, all such increases  reflecting the
growing base of installed  systems.  Through September 30, 1996, price increases
have not been a material  factor in Avant!'s  revenue  growth.  Avant!  does not
believe  that  period-to-period  comparisons  of past revenue  growth  should be
relied upon as indications of future performance.

As discussed in the supplemental  consolidated  financial statements,  Avant! is
involved in litigation with Cadence Design Systems,  Inc.  ("Cadence") and other
related actions.  As a result of such  litigation,  some customers may cancel or
postpone  orders  of  Avant!'s   products.   As  of  September  30,  1996,  such
cancellations  and  postponements  had not had a  material  financial  impact on
Avant!'s  revenues,  however,  a  significant  delay of orders in the future may
impact  Avant!'s  business,  financial  condition and results of operations.  An
adverse  ruling in the  litigation  could  result in Avant!'s  inability to sell
certain of its  products  and, as a result,  could  materially  affect  Avant!'s
business, financial condition and results of operations. In particular, Avant!'s
place and route products in dispute,  ArcCell-BV and ArcCell-XO (which have been
replaced by Aquarius-BV and  Aquarius-XO),  accounted for  approximately  20% of
Avant!'s total  supplemental  consolidated  revenues for the  three-year  period
ended December 31, 1995. See "Risk Factors--Litigation Risk."

Deferred revenue increased from $5,759,000 at December 31, 1994 to $9,585,000 at
December 31, 1995, and to $11,670,000 at September 30, 1996, due to the increase
in the number of maintenance  agreements and license  agreements  where software
and  services  are  provided  for a specific  period and  revenue is  recognized
ratably over the contract period.

Costs of Software

Costs  of  software  consist  primarily  of  expenses  associated  with  product
documentation  and  production  costs  as well as  amortization  of  capitalized
software  costs.  Costs  of  software  decreased  from  $1,364,000  in  1993  to
$1,122,000 in 1994,  and increased to  $1,529,000  in 1995,  and increased  from
$1,077,000  in the first  nine  months of 1995 to  $1,802,000  in the first nine
months of 1996. Costs of software included  amortization of capitalized software
amounting  to  $145,000,   $199,000  and  $228,000  in  1993,  1994,  and  1995,
respectively,  and  $155,000  and  $70,000 in the first nine  months of 1995 and
1996, respectively.

                                      SMDA-3
<PAGE>

Costs of Services

Costs of  services  consist of costs of  maintenance  and  customer  support and
direct costs  associated  with providing other  services.  Maintenance  includes
activities  undertaken  after the product is  available  for general  release to
customers to correct  errors and make routine  changes and  additions.  Customer
support  includes  any  installation  assistance,  training  classes,  telephone
question and answer services,  newsletters,  on-site visits and software or data
modifications. Costs of services increased from $1,904,000 in 1993 to $2,940,000
in 1994, and increased to $4,845,000 in 1995,  representing  44%, 35% and 35% of
services  revenue for 1993,  1994 and 1995,  respectively,  and  increased  from
$3,410,000  in the first  nine  months of 1995 to  $5,383,000  in the first nine
months of 1996,  representing 36% and 31% of services revenue for the first nine
months of 1995 and 1996,  respectively.  The increases in costs of services were
due  primarily  to an increase in personnel  and  expenses  necessary to support
Avant!'s growing base of installed software.  The reduction in costs of services
as a percentage of service revenue reflects the improved utilization of Avant!'s
customer support resources in servicing its increased customer base.

Selling and Marketing Expenses

Selling and  marketing  expenses  consist  primarily of costs,  including  sales
commissions, of all personnel involved in the sales process. This includes sales
representatives,  marketing  associates and application  engineers.  Selling and
marketing  expenses  also  include  costs  of  advertising,   public  relations,
conferences  and trade shows.  Selling and  marketing  expenses  increased  from
$8,065,000 in 1993 to $14,476,000 in 1994, and increased to $22,741,000 in 1995,
and increased  from  $15,770,000 in the first nine months of 1995 to $22,318,000
in the first nine months of 1996. The increases reflect higher sales commissions
associated  with  increased  sales  volumes and increases in sales and marketing
personnel. Selling and marketing expenses represented 36%, 37%, and 33% of total
revenue in 1993, 1994 and 1995,  respectively,  and 33% and 29% of total revenue
for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1995 and  1996,  respectively.  The
decrease in selling and marketing  expenses as a percentage of total revenue for
these  periods  resulted  primarily  from  revenue  growth  and  improved  sales
productivity.  The increase in selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of
total  revenue in 1994  resulted  from higher costs  associated  with  increased
international  sales compared to 1993.  Avant!  expects to hire additional sales
and marketing  personnel and to increase promotion and advertising  expenditures
throughout the remainder of 1996.

Research and Development Expenses

Research  and  development  expenses  include  all  costs  associated  with  the
development of new products and significant  enhancements of existing  products.
Research  and  development   expenses  increased  from  $6,979,000  in  1993  to
$9,728,000 in 1994,  and increased to  $15,318,000  in 1995,  and increased from
$10,676,000  in the nine months ended  September 30, 1995 to  $15,133,000 in the
nine  months  ended  September  30,  1996.  Research  and  development  expenses
represented  31%,  25%  and  22% of  total  revenue  in  1993,  1994  and  1995,
respectively,  and  22%  and 20% of  total  revenue  in the  nine  months  ended
September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. The increases resulted from increased
personnel-related  costs  associated  with the  development  of new products and
significant  enhancements of existing products.  Avant! anticipates that it will
continue to devote  substantial  resources to product  research and development.
During 1996,  capitalized software costs have not been material as products have
been made  available  for general  release  upon  achievement  of  technological
feasibility.

Software development costs are accounted for in accordance with the Statement of
Financial Accounting  Standards No. 86, under which Avant!  capitalizes software
development costs once  technological  feasibility has been established.  Avant!
amortizes  such  amounts over three  years.  The amount of software  development
costs  capitalized for 1993,  1994, and 1995 and the nine months ended September
30,  1995  and  1996  was  $140,000,   $143,000,   $63,000,  $63,000  and  none,
respectively,  representing  2%,  1%,  0%,  1%,  and 0% of  total  research  and
development expenses, respectively.

General and Administrative Expenses

General  and  administrative  expenses  increased  from  $3,017,000  in  1993 to
$4,130,000 in 1994,  and increased to  $6,362,000  in 1995,  and increased  from
$4,442,000  in the nine months ended  September 30, 1995 to  $10,609,000  in the
nine months ended  September  30, 1996.  The  increases  were  primarily  due to
increases in personnel and related costs  necessary to support  Avant!'s  growth
and legal and other costs  incurred in the first nine months of 1996 relating to
the litigation with Cadence.  General and  administrative  expenses  represented
13%, 11% and 9% of total revenue, in 1993, 1994, and 1995, respectively,  and 9%
and  14%  of  total  revenue  in  the  first  nine  months  of  1995  and  1996,
respectively.  The Company charged to expenses  approximately  $4,400,000 during
the nine months  ended  September  30,  1996,  net of expected  recoveries  from
insurance  related  to  the  Cadence  litigation.  Avant!  expects  these  legal
expenditures to continue at least through the remainder of 1996 and into 1997.

Acquisition of Technology

In April 1994, the Company purchased and expensed  in-process library generation
and  automated  cell  characterization  technology  now  embodied  in its MASTER
Toolbox  product.  As the  acquired  technology  had not  reached  technological
feasibility,  it was expensed upon  acquisition.  In November  1995, the Company
purchased  a  set  of  timing   simulator   algorithms  which  had  not  reached
technological  feasibility  and the  cost  associated  with the  technology  was
expensed upon  acquisition.  In September  1996, the Company  acquired rights to
certain software  technology under development.  As the acquired  technology had
not reached technological feasibility, it was expensed on acquisition.

Merger Expenses

In connection with the merger with ISS, costs of  approximately  $3,590,000 were
incurred.  These costs consisted  primarily of the following:  (a) approximately
$2,858,000 for transaction fees for attorneys,  accountants,  investment bankers
and other related  charges;  (b)  approximately  $233,000 for the elimination of
duplicate  facilities and equipment;  (c) approximately  $337,000 for severance;
and  (d)  approximately   $162,000  for  incremental   travel,   communications,
consulting  and other  costs  associated  with  internal  and  customer  related
integration  activities.  In connection  with the merger with Anagram,  costs of
$920,000 were recorded.  These costs consisted  primarily of the following:  (a)
approximately $300,000 for transaction fees for attorneys, accountants and other
related  charges;  (b)  approximately  $250,000 for the elimination of duplicate
facilities  and equipment;  and (c)  approximately  $370,000 for  severance.  In
connection  with the  merger  with Meta,  the  Company  expects to incur  direct
transaction costs and merger-related  integration expenses in the fourth quarter
of 1996 of  approximately  $5.7  million,  consisting  of  transaction  fees for
investment bankers, attorneys,  accountants,  financial printing and shareholder
meetings  of  approximately  $3.2  million  and  severance  costs,  charges  for
duplicate  facilities,  and certain other related  costs of  approximately  $2.5
million. In connection with the merger with FrontLine, costs of $2.3 million are
expected  to be  incurred in the fourth  quarter of 1996.  These  costs  consist
primarily for the following: (a) 2.2 million for transaction fees for attorneys,
accountants  and other related  charges and (b) 100,000 for the  elimination  of
duplicate   facilities  and  equipment.   As  of  September  30,  1996,  accrued
liabilities   included   approximately   $865,000   of   expected   future  cash
expenditures.


Income from Operations

Avant! had income from operations of $1,231,000,  $5,348,000, and $11,790,000 in
1993, 1994, and 1995, respectively, and $12,275,000 and $20,828,000 in the first
nine months of 1995 and 1996, respectively. The changes in operating results are
attributable  to revenue growth net of increased  expenses  necessary to support
Avant!'s growth.  Operating income  represented 5%, 14% and 17% of total revenue
in 1993, 1994 and 1995,  respectively,  and 26% and 27% of total revenue for the
nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

                                      SMDA-5
<PAGE>

Interest Income, Net

Net interest  income was $151,000,  $836,000,  and $2,787,000 in 1993,  1994 and
1995,  respectively,  and was $1,785,000 and $3,100,000 in the first nine months
of 1995 and 1996,  respectively.  Interest income increased in 1994 and 1995 and
the first nine months of 1996, due to larger cash balances  resulting  primarily
from the  proceeds of the ISS public  offering  which was  completed in February
1994, the ArcSys public offering, which was completed in June 1995, and the Meta
public  offering,  which  was  completed  in  November  1995.  Interest  expense
represents interest paid on capital leases.

Income Taxes

Avant! accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109. Prior to 1995,
Avant!  had  experienced  net operating  losses and had  established a valuation
allowance  against  its  deferred  tax  assets  relating  to the  resulting  net
operating loss carryforwards. As a result of the restatement of its consolidated
financial  statements  relating to the ISS merger,  the valuation  allowance was
eliminated  during 1993.  Pro forma  income  taxes have been  provided for 1993,
1994, and 1995 as if Meta (an S corporation  for income tax reporting  purposes)
had been a C corporation.  The pro forma provision (benefit) for income taxes as
a percentage of pre-tax income was (73%), 35%, 43%, and 34% for 1993, 1994, 1995
and the nine months ended  September 30, 1995,  respectively.  The provision for
income taxes was 36% of pretax  income for the nine months ended  September  30,
1996.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash provided by operations was $3,723,000,  $5,568,000,  and $19,696,000 in
1993,  1994 and 1995,  respectively,  and $18,078,000 and $9,602,000 in the nine
months ended  September 30, 1995 and 1996,  respectively.  The increases in cash
provided by  operations  through  1995  primarily  result from  increases in net
income.  The decrease in cash  provided by  operations  in the nine months ended
September  30, 1996 is primarily  due to increases  in accounts  receivable  and
other  assts,  offset  by a  continued  increase  in  net  income.  Avant!  used
$3,571,000,  $23,488,000,  and $28,267,000 of net cash in 1993,  1994, and 1995,
respectively, and $36,861,000 and $47,211,000 in the nine months ended September
30, 1995 and 1996,  respectively,  for  investing  activities.  Net cash used in
investing   activities   relates   primarily  to  net  purchases  of  short-term
"available-for-sale"  securities.  These securities,  consist of short-term debt
securities,  U.S.  Government  Agency  debt  securities,  U.S.  Treasury  Bills,
municipal/corporate  auction preferred stock, municipal bonds and demand deposit
investments in limited-maturity fixed-income mutual funds. Cash was also used to
acquire equipment, furniture and fixtures. Purchases of equipment, furniture and
fixtures primarily represent computer workstations and file servers for Avant!'s
employees.  Avant!  expects that purchases of equipment will likely  increase as
Avant!'s  employee  base grows.  Net cash provided by financing  activities  was
$3,441,000,  $17,953,000, and $48,656,000 in 1993, 1994, 1995, respectively, and
$31,777,000 and $2,670,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996,
respectively.  The increase in cash provided by financing  activities  primarily
results from the sale of preferred and common stock  through  1995.  The Company
did not issue any  significant  amounts  of common or  preferred  stock  through
September 30, 1996, except for stock issued in connection with option exercises.

Avant!'s  stated payment terms generally are net 30 days.  However,  in Avant!'s
experience,  many  customers  do not comply  with  stated  payment  terms due to
industry  practice,  slower payment by certain major  companies and most foreign
customers and general economic  conditions.  Avant!  periodically  increases its
allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect increased sales levels and collection
experience.  Avant!  believes  that  its  allowance  for  doubtful  accounts  is
adequate.


                                      SMDA-6
<PAGE>


As of  September  30,  1996,  Avant!  had  $104,542,000  of cash and  short-term
investments,   $113,890,000  in  working  capital  and  $24,532,000  in  current
liabilities,  including  $11,670,000  of deferred  revenue.  As of September 30,
1996,  there was no bank  indebtedness  outstanding and Avant!  had no long-term
commitments other than technology  acquisition payable and operating and capital
lease obligations.

Based on its operating plan, and absent any adverse  judgments in the litigation
with  Cadence,  Avant!  believes  that  it has  available  cash  and  short-term
investments  sufficient to fund Avant!'s operations through at least the next 12
months.


Factors That May Affect Future Results

         On December 6, 1995, Cadence filed an action against Avant! and certain
of its officers in the United States District Court for the Northern District of
California alleging copyright infringement, unfair competition, misappropriation
of trade secrets,  conspiracy,  breach of contract,  inducing breach of contract
and false advertising. In addition to actual and punitive damages, Cadence seeks
to enjoin the sale of certain place and route products and has filed a motion to
obtain a preliminary  injunction pending trial of the action. Avant! has filed a
counterclaim  alleging antitrust  violations,  racketeering,  false advertising,
defamation, trade libel, unfair competition,  unfair trade practices,  negligent
and intentional interference with prospective economic advantage and intentional
interference  with  contractual  relations.  The  Santa  Clara  County  District
Attorney's office also is investigating the allegations of  misappropriation  of
trade secrets set forth in Cadence's  lawsuit. A criminal  complaint,  if filed,
against  Avant!,  the Company's  management or its employees,  could result in a
loss of management  and other  personnel and could have other  material  adverse
effects on the Company.  The  litigation  with Cadence may result in canceled or
postponed customer orders and increased future expenditures.  Since only a small
portion  of  Avant!'s  expenses  varies  with its  revenue,  canceled  orders or
significant  expenses  related  to the  Cadence  litigation  may have an adverse
affect  on  Avant!'s  business,   operating  results  and  financial  condition.
Furthermore,  an  adverse  ruling  in the  Cadence  litigation  could  result in
Avant!'s inability to sell certain of its products and, as a result,  could have
a material adverse effect on Avant!'s business,  operating results and financial
condition.  In  particular,  Avant!'s  place  and  route  products  in  dispute,
ArcCell-BV  and  ArcCell-XO   (which  have  been  replaced  by  Aquarius-BV  and
Aquarius-XO),  accounted for  approximately  20% of Avant!'s total  supplemental
consolidated  revenues for the  three-year  period ended  December 31, 1995. See
"Risk Factors--Litigation Risk," in the Company's registration statement on Form
S-3 filed concurrently herewith.

         Avant!'s  products  compete with similar  products from both larger and
smaller EDA  vendors,  and with  dissimilar  EDA  products  for a share of their
customers' EDA budgets. The EDA industry, and as a result Avant!'s business, has
benefited from the rapid world-wide growth of the semiconductor industry.  There
can be no assurance that this rapid growth will continue.  The EDA industry as a
whole may experience  pricing and margin  pressures from a decrease in growth in
the  semiconductor   industry,   or  other  changes  in  the  overall  computing
environment.  In fact, during 1996 the semiconductor industry experienced slower
growth than in 1995. In addition, the EDA industry is experiencing consolidation
as the major EDA vendors are seeking to provide a complete range of EDA products
to  customers.  There can be no  assurance  that Avant!  will be able to compete
successfully  against current and future competitors,  or that market conditions
faced by Avant!  will not adversely affect its business,  operating  results and
financial condition.

         Avant!'s  future  success  depends upon its ability to improve  current
products and develop new products  that address the  increasingly  sophisticated
needs of its customers.  There can be no assurance that Avant!  will continue to
be  successful  in developing  technologically  acceptable  products on a timely
basis.  Avant!'s  ability to develop and improve  products is  dependent  on key
individuals  for  their  technical  and  other  contributions.  There  can be no
assurance  that Avant!  can continue to attract and retain these key  personnel.
Loss of certain key personnel could result in loss of Avant!'s market  advantage
and could adversely affect its operating results and financial condition.

         Avant!   has  adopted  SFAS  No.  123,   Accounting   for   Stock-Based
Compensation.  This  statement  establishes  financial  accounting and reporting
standards for stock-based employee compensation plans,  including employee stock
purchase  plans and stock option  plans.  Management  plans to use the pro forma
approach allowed by this standard,  but plans to remain on Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,  for purposes of
measurement of  compensation  expense.  Therefore,  the Company will provide the
disclosures  required by SFAS No. 123, but its adoption will not have a material
effect on Avant!'s consolidated results of operations.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Board of Directors
Avant! Corporation:

We have audited the  accompanying  supplemental  consolidated  balance sheets of
Avant!  Corporation and  subsidiaries  (the Company) as of December 31, 1994 and
1995,  and  the  related   supplemental   consolidated   statements  of  income,
shareholders'  equity,  and cash  flows for each of the years in the  three-year
period ended December 31, 1995. In connection with our audit of the accompanying
supplemental  consolidated  financial  statements,  we  also  have  audited  the
accompanying  supplemental  financial  statement  schedule.  These  supplemental
consolidated  financial statements and supplemental financial statement schedule
are the  responsibility of the Company's  management.  Our  responsibility is to
express an opinion on these supplemental  consolidated  financial statements and
supplemental financial statement schedule 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.

The supplemental  consolidated  financial  statements give retroactive effect to
the mergers of Avant!  Corporation and Meta-Software,  Inc. on October 29, 1996,
and  FrontLine  Design  Automation,  Inc. on November 27, 1996,  which have been
accounted  for  as  poolings  of  interests  as  described  in  Note  2  to  the
supplemental  consolidated  financial statements.  Generally accepted accounting
principles  proscribe  giving  effect  to  a  consummated  business  combination
accounted for by the pooling-of-interests method in financial statements that do
not include the date of consummation.  These financial  statements do not extend
through the  respective  dates of  consummation.  However,  they will become the
historical   consolidated   financial  statements  of  Avant!   Corporation  and
subsidiaries  after  financial  statements  covering  the  respective  dates  of
consummation of the business combinations are issued.

In our opinion, the supplemental  consolidated  financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Avant!
Corporation  and  subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles  applicable after financial  statements are issued for a period which
includes the respective dates of consummation of the business combinations. Also
in our opinion,  the related  supplemental  financial statement  schedule,  when
considered in relation to the  supplemental  consolidated  financial  statements
taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set
forth therein.

             NOTES TO SUPPLEMENTAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                        DECEMBER 31, 1993, 1994, AND 1995

                     (Information for the Nine Months Ended
                    September 30, 1995 and 1996 is Unaudited)


(1)      Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

         Nature of Business

         Avant!  Corporation  (the Company or Avant!),  formerly  ArcSys,  Inc.,
         develops,  markets and supports  software  products  that assist design
         engineers in the automated design, layout,  physical verification,  and
         analysis of advanced  integrated  circuits.  Its primary  customers are
         semiconductor manufacturers in the United States, Japan, Korea, Taiwan,
         and Europe.

         Principles of Presentation and Preparation and Use of Estimates

         The accompanying supplemental consolidated financial statements include
         the  accounts  of the Company and its wholly  owned  subsidiaries.  All
         significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated
         in consolidation.  The supplemental  consolidated  financial statements
         have been restated to reflect the effect of the mergers with Integrated
         Silicon  Systems,   Inc.  (ISS),   Anagram,   Incorporated   (Anagram),
         Meta-Software,  Inc.  (Meta),  and FrontLine  Design  Automation,  Inc.
         (FrontLine) discussed in Note 2.

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

         Revenue Recognition

         Revenue  consists  primarily  of fees  for  licenses  of the  Company's
         software products, maintenance, and customer support.

         Software Revenue

         Revenue from the sale of software  licenses is recognized upon shipment
         of  the  products,  delivery  of  permanent  authorization  codes,  and
         fulfillment of acceptance terms, if any,  providing that no significant
         vendor and post-contract  support  obligations remain and collection of
         the related receivable is probable. Any remaining  insignificant vendor
         obligations  are  accrued  at the time the  revenue is  recognized.  In
         instances  where there is a  contingency  regarding  the sale,  revenue
         recognition is delayed until the  contingency  has been resolved.  When
         the Company  receives  advance  payments  for software  products,  such
         payments  are reported as deferred  revenue  until all  conditions  for
         revenue  recognition  are met.  The Company has  entered  into  certain
         license  agreements under which software,  support,  and other services
         are provided to a customer for a bundled price for a specific period of
         time.  Generally,  revenue under such agreements is recognized  ratably
         over the contract period.

      NOTES TO SUPPLEMENTAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, (Continued)

                        DECEMBER 31, 1993, 1994, AND 1995

                     (Information for the Nine Months Ended
                    September 30, 1995 and 1996 is Unaudited)

         Services Revenue

         Maintenance revenue is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of
         the maintenance  agreement,  which is typically 12 months. Revenue from
         customer  training,  support,  and other  services is recognized as the
         service is performed.

         Cash and Cash Equivalents

         For  the  purpose  of  the   accompanying   supplemental   consolidated
         statements  of cash flows,  the  Company  considers  all highly  liquid
         investments  with an original  maturity  of three  months or less to be
         cash equivalents.

         Cash equivalents are stated at cost and consist  primarily of overnight
         Eurodollar deposits, certificates of deposit, and commercial paper. The
         carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.

         Short-Term Investments

         Short-term investments,  which consist of demand deposit investments in
         limited-maturity fixed-income mutual funds, short-term debt securities,
         U.S.   government   agency  debt  securities,   U.S.   Treasury  Bills,
         municipal/corporate  auction  preferred stock, and municipal bonds, are
         reported  at  fair  value  and  are  classified  as  available-for-sale
         securities.  The  cost of  securities  sold  is  determined  using  the
         specific  identification  method  when  computing  realized  gains  and
         losses.  Fair value is determined using available  market  information.
         There were no realized gains or losses on investments sold during 1993,
         1994, or 1995. As of December 31, 1994,  the gross  unrealized  loss on
         short-term  investments was $222,000.  As of December 31, 1995, the net
         unrealized  gain on  short-term  investments  of $89,000  consisted  of
         $136,000  of gross  unrealized  gains and  $47,000 of gross  unrealized
         losses.

         Equipment, Furniture, and Fixtures

         Equipment,  furniture,  and  fixtures  consist  primarily  of  computer
         workstations  and file servers for employees and are stated at cost net
         of accumulated depreciation of $3,422,000 and $5,127,000 as of December
         31,  1994 and  1995,  respectively.  Depreciation  is  provided  on the
         straight-line  method over the  estimated  useful  lives of the related
         assets (generally five years).

      NOTES TO SUPPLEMENTAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, (Continued)

                        DECEMBER 31, 1993, 1994, AND 1995

                     (Information for the Nine Months Ended
                    September 30, 1995 and 1996 is Unaudited)

         Software Development Costs

         Certain  software  development  costs  for  new  products  and  product
         enhancements  are capitalized  upon the  establishment of technological
         feasibility,  which is defined by the  Company as the  completion  of a
         working  model of the  software.  Capitalization  of computer  software
         development costs ceases, and amortization  begins, when the product is
         available for general release to customers.  The ongoing  assessment of
         the realizability of these costs requires considerable judgment related
         to anticipated  future product revenues,  estimated  economic life, and
         changes in hardware  and  software  technology.  The amount of software
         development  costs  capitalized for the years 1993,  1994, and 1995 was
         $140,000, $143,000, and $63,000, respectively. Accumulated amortization
         of  software  development  costs  was  $849,000  and  $1,077,000  as of
         December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively.

         Amortization   of   software   development   costs  is  provided  on  a
         product-by-product  basis.  Annual  amortization  is the greater of the
         amount computed using the ratio of current product revenue to the total
         of current and anticipated  future product revenue or the straight-line
         method over the remaining  estimated economic life of the product.  All
         current  products  have  estimated   economic  lives  of  three  years.
         Amortization of software  development  costs for the years 1993,  1994,
         and  1995  was  $145,000,   $199,000,   and   $228,000,   respectively.
         Amortization  of  software  development  costs is  included in costs of
         software in the accompanying  supplemental  consolidated  statements of
         income.

         Income Taxes

         Income taxes are provided under the asset and liability method, whereby
         deferred tax assets and  liabilities  are recognized for the future tax
         consequences   attributable   to  differences   between  the  financial
         statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
         respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
         using  enacted  tax rates  expected  to apply to taxable  income in the
         years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered
         or settled.  The effect on  deferred  tax assets and  liabilities  of a
         change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes
         the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary
         to reduce  deferred tax assets to the amounts  expected to be realized.
         Prior to 1995, the Company had experienced net operating losses and had
         established  a  valuation  allowance  against its  deferred  tax assets
         relating to the resulting net operating loss  carryforwards  due to the
         uncertainty regarding realization of the Company's deferred tax assets.
         In  connection  with the  merger  with ISS,  the  Company's  income tax
         provisions  were  restated and the valuation  allowance was  eliminated
         during 1993.

         The pro forma  provision  for  income  taxes for 1993,  1994,  and 1995
         reflects  the tax expense  that would have been  reported if Meta (an S
         corporation for income tax reporting purposes) had been a C corporation
         during those periods.

         Net Income and Pro Forma Net Income Per Common Share

         Net income per common  share is  computed  using the  weighted  average
         number of common and common equivalent shares  outstanding  during each
         period  presented  using  the  treasury  stock  method.   Common  stock
         equivalents  consist of stock  options and awards  (using the  treasury
         stock method).

         Pro forma net income per common  share is computed  using pro forma net
         income which  reflects the tax expense that would have been reported if
         Meta (an S corporation for income tax reporting  purposes) had been a C
         corporation. Common stock equivalents are excluded from the computation
         if their  effect is  antidilutive,  except that common stock issued and
         stock  options and awards  during the 12 months  preceding  the initial
         filing of the Registration  Statement for the Company's  initial public
         offering  have been  included in the  calculation  of common and common
         equivalent  shares  using  the  treasury  stock  method as if they were
         outstanding  for all periods  presented.  In addition,  the calculation
         includes shares deemed to be outstanding, which represent the number of
         shares to fund Meta's final S corporation distribution.

         Statements of Cash Flows

         Interest of $36,000,  $42,000, $51,000, $44,000, and $9,000 was paid in
         the years  ended  1993,  1994,  and  1995,  and the nine  months  ended
         September  30, 1995 and 1996,  respectively.  Income taxes of $823,000,
         $1,125,000,  $2,041,000,  $687,000,  and  $10,946,000  were paid in the
         years ended 1993,  1994, and 1995, and the nine months ended  September
         30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. Acquisition of equipment under capital
         lease  obligations  was  $247,000  and  $298,000  during 1993 and 1994,
         respectively.   Deferred  stock  compensation  of  $62,000,   $588,000,
         $588,000,  and  $2,122,000,  was recognized in the years ended 1994 and
         1995,  and  the  nine  months  ended   September  30,  1995  and  1996,
         respectively,  for stock options  issued below market value.  An income
         tax  benefit   attributable   to  employee  stock  plans  of  $647,000,
         $1,302,000,  $1,100,000,  and  $3,345,000 was credited to equity in the
         years ended 1994 and 1995, and the nine months ended September 30, 1995
         and 1996, respectively. In connection with the Company's initial public
         offering in 1995, mandatory redeemable  convertible preferred stock was
         converted to common stock in the amount of  $8,312,000.  Conversion  of
         long-term debt to common stock was $100,000 in 1995.

         Translation of Foreign Currencies

         The functional  currency of the Company's  foreign  subsidiaries is the
         U.S. dollar.  Resulting  foreign exchange gains and losses,  which have
         been insignificant, are included in the results of operations.

         Stock-Based Compensation

         The Company has various stock-based  compensation plans as discussed in
         Note 4. The  Company has  accounted  for its  stock-based  compensation
         plans under Accounting  Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for
         Stock  Issued to  Employees.  The  Company  has  adopted  Statement  of
         Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, and plans to use the pro
         forma approach allowed under this standard.  Disclosures under SFAS No.
         123 will be required in the  Company's  December 31, 1996  consolidated
         financial statements.

         Reclassification

         Certain amounts in the 1993, 1994, and 1995  supplemental  consolidated
         financial  statements  have been  reclassified  to  conform to the 1996
         presentation.

         Unaudited Interim Supplemental Consolidated Financial Statements

         The  accompanying   unaudited   supplemental   consolidated   financial
         statements  as of  September  30,  1996,  and for the nine months ended
         September 30, 1995 and 1996,  have been prepared on  substantially  the
         same  basis  as  the  audited   supplemental   consolidated   financial
         statements,  and include  all  adjustments,  consisting  only of normal
         recurring  adjustments,  which management  believes are necessary for a
         fair presentation of the financial information set forth herein.

(2)      Mergers

         On November 27, 1996, the Company issued approximately 1,812,000 shares
         of its  common  stock  for  all  of the  outstanding  common  stock  of
         FrontLine, and assumed approximately 410,000 warrants and stock options
         under option plans.

         On October 29, 1996, the Company issued approximately  4,471,000 shares
         of its common  stock for all of the  outstanding  common stock of Meta,
         and assumed approximately 608,000 stock options and subscriptions under
         option and purchase plans.

         On  September  27, 1996,  the Company  issued  approximately  2,154,000

         been  presented  as  common  stock  for all  periods  presented  in the
         supplemental consolidated financial statements.

         The  mergers  described  above have been  accounted  for as poolings of
         interests,  and, accordingly,  the Company's supplemental  consolidated
         financial  statements  have been  restated for all periods prior to the
         mergers to include the results of operations,  financial position,  and
         cash flows of FrontLine, Meta, and Anagram.

         In  connection  with the merger with ISS, the Company  recorded  merger
         related  costs  of  approximately  $3,600,000.  These  costs  consisted
         primarily  of   approximately   $2,858,000  for  transaction  fees  for
         attorneys, accountants,  investment bankers, and other related charges;
         approximately  $233,000 for the elimination of duplicate facilities and
         equipment;  approximately  $337,000 for  severance;  and  approximately
         $162,000 for incremental travel, communications,  consulting, and other
         costs  associated  with  internal  activities.  Of  the  $3,600,000  of
         merger-related   costs,   approximately   $3,400,000  related  to  cash
         expenditures while  approximately  $200,000 related to noncash charges.
         As of December  31,  1995,  accrued  liabilities  included  $392,000 of
         expected future cash expenditures.

         On  May 5,  1994,  ISS  completed  a  merger  with  Performance  Signal
         Integrity,  Inc.  (PSI),  a  Pennsylvania  corporation.  The  financial
         position, results of operations and cash flows of PSI were not material
         to ISS, and the merger was accounted  for as an  immaterial  pooling of
         interests.  Therefore, ISS's previously reported financial results were
         not restated for the PSI merger.

(3)      Mandatory Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock Conversion

         In  connection  with the  completion of the  Company's  initial  public
         offering  in  June  1995,  all  the  outstanding  mandatory  redeemable
         convertible   preferred   stock  was   automatically   converted   into
         approximately  3,570,000  shares  of the  Company's  common  stock.  In
         addition, outstanding warrants to acquire Series B preferred stock were
         automatically   converted  into  approximately  26,000  shares  of  the
         Company's common stock.

         As of December 31, 1994,  mandatory  redeemable  convertible  preferred

(4)      Shareholders' Equity

         Initial Public Offering and Changes in Authorized  Common and Preferred
         Stock

         In April 1995, the Company's Board of Directors  authorized the Company
         to issue  up to  5,000,000  shares  of  preferred  stock in one or more
         series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions
         thereof,  including dividend rights,  conversion rights, voting rights,
         terms of redemption,  liquidation preferences, and the number of shares
         constituting any series or the designation of such series,  without any
         further vote or action by the  shareholders.  In addition,  the Company
         increased  its  authorized  number  of  shares  of  common  stock  from
         10,000,000 to 25,000,000 shares.

         In June 1995, the Company closed its initial public  offering of common
         stock at $13.00  per  share.  The net  proceeds  of the  offering  were
         $27,713,000   after  deducting   applicable  costs  and  expenses.   In
         connection  with the  public  offering,  all the  outstanding  Series A
         preferred  stock  automatically  converted into  approximately  687,000
         shares of the Company's common stock.

         Common Stock

         The  Company  has  issued  to  the  Company's  founders  and  employees
         2,683,000  shares of its common stock,  which are subject to repurchase
         upon  termination of  employment.  The number of shares of common stock
         subject to the  Company's  right to  repurchase  declines 25% after the
         founder or employee has been employed one year, and thereafter  ratably
         over three years on a monthly basis.  As of December 31, 1994 and 1995,
         232,000 and 66,000 shares, respectively, were subject to repurchase.

         Shareholder Distributions

         Meta  (an  S  corporation  for  income  tax  reporting  purposes)  made
         distributions  to its  shareholders  to provide  them with funds to pay
         income taxes on corporate earnings. Prior to the completion of the Meta
         initial  public  offering  and  the  termination  of the S  corporation
         election in November  1995,  Meta  declared a  distribution  payable to
         existing   shareholders   of  Meta.   This   distribution   represented
         undistributed tax basis earnings of Meta through the termination of the
         S corporation election.

         1995 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan

         The Company  approved the 1995 Stock  Option/Stock  Issuance  Plan (the
         1995 Plan) in April 1995, under which all remaining  outstanding  stock
         options and shares  available for grant under the Company's  1993 Stock
         Option/Stock  Issuance  Plan and  1,000,000  additional  shares  of the
         Company's  common stock have been authorized for issuance,  for a total
         of 2,336,000  shares of the Company's  common  stock.  The 1995 Plan is
         intended  to  serve  as a  successor  to the  1993  Stock  Option/Stock
         Issuance  Plan (see  below) and has terms  similar to those of the 1993
         Stock Option/Stock  Issuance Plan. Under the 1995 Plan,  however,  each
         individual  serving as a nonemployee  member of the Company's  Board of
         Directors on the date the Underwriting Agreement for the initial public
         offering was executed  received an option grant on such date for 20,000
         shares of the Company's common stock,  provided such individual had not
         otherwise been in the prior employ of the Company.  Each individual who
         first becomes a nonemployee member of the Board of Directors thereafter
         will receive a 20,000  share  option grant on the date such  individual
         joins the Board of Directors  provided such  individual has not been in
         the  prior  employ  of  the  Company.  In  addition,   at  each  annual
         shareholders'  meeting,  beginning  with the 1996 Annual  Shareholders'
         Meeting,  each  individual who is to continue to serve as a nonemployee
         member of the Board of  Directors  after the  meeting  will  receive an
         additional  option  grant to  purchase  5,000  shares of  common  stock
         whether  or not such  individual  has been in the  prior  employ of the
         Company.

         1993 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan

         In  September  1993,  the Board of  Directors  approved  the 1993 Stock
         Option/Stock  Issuance Plan (the 1993 Plan).  Options granted under the
         1993 Plan may be either  incentive stock options or nonstatutory  stock
         options,  as designated by the Company's  Board of Directors.  The 1993
         Plan provides that the exercise price of an incentive  stock option and
         a  nonstatutory  option will be no less than the fair market  value and
         85% of the fair market value,  respectively,  of the  Company's  common
         stock at the date of grant,  as determined  by the  Company's  Board of
         Directors.

         The Company's Board of Directors also has the authority to set exercise
         dates (no longer than 10 years from the date of grant),  payment terms,
         and other  provisions for each grant.  Generally  options granted under
         the  1993  Plan  become  exercisable  as to 25% of  the  shares  on the
         anniversary  date of grant and thereafter  become  exercisable  ratably
         over three years.

         The Company has recorded a deferred  charge of  $650,000,  representing
         the difference  between the exercise price and the deemed fair value of
         the Company's  common stock for 355,000  shares subject to common stock
         options  granted in the fourth quarter of 1994 and the first quarter of
         1995. The deferred stock compensation will be amortized to compensation
         expense over the period  during which the options  become  exercisable,
         generally four years.

         ISS Option Plans

         In  connection  with the ISS merger  discussed  in Note 2,  various ISS
         option plans were assumed by the Company, thereby allowing participants
         to purchase  Avant!  stock in amounts and at prices adjusted to reflect
         the exchange ratio of the merger.

         The Company  incurred  stock  compensation  expense,  representing  the
         difference  between the exercise price and the deemed fair value of the
         Company's  common  stock,  relating to  nonqualified  stock  options of
         $151,000 during 1993 and $20,000 during 1994.

         Anagram Option Plans

         In  connection  with the Anagram  merger  discussed  in Note 2, various
         Anagram  option  plans were assumed by the  Company,  thereby  allowing
         participants to purchase Avant! stock in amounts and at prices adjusted
         to  reflect  a two for one  stock  split  effective  June  1996 and the
         exchange ratio of the merger.

         As of December 31, 1995,  there were  approximately  698,000  shares of
         Anagram  restricted  common  stock  outstanding  that were  subject  to
         repurchase by the Company.

         Meta Option Plans

         In  connection  with the Meta merger  discussed in Note 2, various Meta
         option plans were assumed by the Company, thereby allowing participants
         to purchase  Avant!  stock in amounts and at prices adjusted to reflect
         the exchange ratio of the merger.

         1992 Stock Option/Appreciation Plan

         Under  Meta's  1992  Stock  Option/Appreciation  Plan (the 1992  Plan),
         854,100  shares of common stock were reserved for the issuance of stock
         options for grant at not less than 90% of the fair market  value at the
         date of grant.  Fair  market  value,  in the  absence  of  trading on a
         national or regional  stock  exchange,  was  established  by the Meta's
         Board of Directors based on an independent  valuation of Meta.  Options
         generally  vested over a period of 1 to 4 years from the date of grant,
         expire 10 years from the date of grant,  and terminated,  to the extent
         not exercised, 1 month after termination of employment.

         The 1992 Plan  provides for the exercise of stock  appreciation  rights
         with respect to outstanding options in the absence of trading of Meta's
         stock on a national or regional  stock  exchange.  Upon the exercise of
         stock  appreciation   rights,  the  employee  surrendered  the  related
         unexercised option and received cash payment equal to the excess of the
         fair market value of the underlying shares at the time of exercise over
         the  aggregate  exercise  price  of the  related  option.  Compensation
         expense was recognized for the  appreciation  in value from the date of
         grant.

         During the months of June,  July,  and August  1995,  Meta entered into
         agreements with  substantially  all individual option holders under the
         1992 Plan  terminating  the stock  appreciation  right  feature  of the
         individual awards.  Compensation expense of $484,000,  representing the
         difference  between the exercise price and the fair market value of the
         stock,  was recorded based on the vested stock  appreciation  rights of
         the  individual   shareholders   through  the  date  such  rights  were
         terminated. Upon effectiveness of the Meta initial public offering, all
         stock  appreciation  rights  terminated,  and no  further  compensation
         expense was recorded.

         FrontLine Option Plan

         In  connection  with  the  FrontLine  merger  discussed  in Note 2, the
         FrontLine  option plan was  assumed by the  Company,  thereby  allowing
         participants to purchase Avant! stock in amounts and at prices adjusted
         to reflect the exchange ratio of the merger.

         In 1996, FrontLine adopted an Equity Incentive Plan (the 1996 Plan) and
         reserved  523,000 shares of common stock for issuance of stock options.
         Under the 1996  Plan,  options  may be granted at not less than 100% of
         the fair market value at the date of grant.  Options  generally  vested
         over a period  of 1 to 4 years  from the date of grant  and  expire  10
         years from the date of grant.

         The Company has recorded deferred stock compensation in the nine months
         ended  September  30, 1996 of  $735,000,  representing  the  difference
         between the exercise  price and the deemed fair value of the  Company's
         common stock for approximately 51,000 shares of common stock subject to
         common stock options  granted in 1996. The deferred stock  compensation
         will be amortized to compensation expense over the periods in which the
         options become exercisable, generally four years.

         Warrants

         During 1995, the Company issued a warrant to purchase  30,000 shares of
         common  stock at a price  of  $0.20  per  share  in  connection  with a
         technology development agreement.  These warrants expire on October 31,
         2000 and are exercisable upon completion of certain  milestones.  As of
         December 31, 1995, there were no warrants  exercisable.  Accounting for
         the value of these warrants will be determined  upon  completion of the
         milestones and will be charged to income at that time.

         Common Stock Awards

         An  agreement  with a  distributor  provides for the issuance of common
         stock in lieu of cash sales  commissions.  In April  1996,  the Company
         issued approximately 6,000 shares of common stock for sales commissions
         under the agreement  which  resulted in a charge to income of $140,000.
         The Company may issue up to 15,000 additional   shares of  common stock
         for future sales commissions through 1998.

(7)      Employee Benefit Plans

         401(k) Plan

         The Company has a 401(k) retirement savings plan covering substantially
         all  employees.  Contributions  are  matched at the  discretion  of the
         Company's Board of Directors.  The matching  contributions  amounted to
         $37,000, $77,000, and $115,000 for 1993, 1994, and 1995, respectively.

                    September 30, 1995 and 1996 is Unaudited)

         Employee Stock Purchase Plan

         The Company has a qualified Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which permits
         eligible employees to purchase newly issued common stock of the Company
         up to an aggregate of 500,000  shares.  Under this plan,  employees may
         purchase from the Company a designated number of shares through payroll
         deductions  at a price per share equal to 85% of the lesser of the fair
         market value of the Company's  common stock as of the date of the grant
         or the date the right to purchase is exercised.

(8)      Concentrations of Credit Risk

         The Company  maintains  excess cash  balances in a variety of financial
         instruments such as overnight Eurodollar deposits, securities backed by
         the  U.S.  government,  municipal/corporate  auction  preferred  stock,
         municipal  bonds,  short-term  debt  securities,   and  demand  deposit
         investments in limited-maturity  fixed-income mutual funds. The Company
         has not  experienced  any material  losses in any of the instruments it
         has used for excess cash balances.

         To reduce credit risk, the Company performs ongoing credit  evaluations
         of its customers' financial  condition.  The Company maintains reserves
         for potential  credit losses,  but historically has not experienced any
         significant  losses  related  to  individual  customers  or  groups  of
         customers in any geographic area. The Company's  allowance for doubtful
         accounts  was  $437,000  and $894,000 as of December 31, 1994 and 1995,
         respectively.

(9)      Business Segment and Geographic Information

         The Company operates primarily in one business segment,  comprising the
         electronic design automation industry.

         The Company's  export  revenues are all  denominated  in U.S.  dollars.
         International revenue,  principally to customers in Asia, accounted for
         approximately  26%,  33%,  and 32% of total  revenue in the years ended
         December 31, 1993, 1994, and 1995, respectively.

         In 1993, one key customer  accounted for 11% of the Company's  revenue.
         As of December  31, 1994 and 1995,  no customer  comprised in excess of
         10% of total accounts receivable.

(10)     Acquisitions of Technology

         In each of April 1994,  October 1995,  and September  1996, the Company
         acquired rights to certain software  technology under  development.  As
         the acquired software had not reached technological feasibility, it was
         expensed upon acquisition.

         Under the  October  1995  agreement,  the  Company  will make  payments
         through March 2000. The net present value of these payments is included
         in  technology  acquisition  payable in the  accompanying  supplemental
         consolidated balance sheets.

      NOTES TO SUPPLEMENTAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, (Continued)

                        DECEMBER 31, 1993, 1994, AND 1995

                  (Information for the Nine Months Ended

(11)     Commitments and Contingencies

         On December 6, 1995,  Cadence Design Systems,  Inc.  (Cadence) filed an
         action  against the Company and certain of its officers in the Northern
         California   United   States   District   Court   alleging    copyright
         infringement,  unfair  competition,  misappropriation of trade secrets,
         conspiracy,  breach of contract, inducing breach of contract, and false
         advertising.  The  essence  of the  complaint  is that  certain  Avant!
         employees  who were  formerly  Cadence  employees  misappropriated  and
         improperly copied source code for certain important functions of Avant!
         place  and  route  products  from  Cadence,  and that the  Company  has
         competed unfairly by making false statements concerning Cadence and its
         products.  The action also  alleges  that the Company  induced  certain
         individual  defendants to breach their  agreements  of  employment  and
         confidentiality  with  Cadence.  In  addition  to actual  and  punitive
         damages,  Cadence  seeks to enjoin the sale of certain  place and route
         products  and has  filed a motion to  obtain a  preliminary  injunction
         pending  trial of the  action.  The  Company  filed its  opposition  to
         Cadence's  motion on June 28, 1996.  Cadence  filed a reply to Avant!'s
         opposition on August 27, 1996. The preliminary  injunction hearing took
         place on September  10, 1996. No ruling on the  preliminary  injunction
         motion has been issued as of the date hereof.

         On January 16, 1996,  Avant!  filed a counterclaim  alleging  antitrust
         violations,  racketeering, false advertising,  defamation, trade libel,
         unfair competition,  unfair trade practices,  negligent and intentional
         interference  with  prospective  economic  advantage,  and  intentional
         interference with contractual relations.

         The Santa Clara County District Attorney's office is also investigating
         the  allegations  of  misappropriation  of trade  secrets  set forth in
         Cadence's  lawsuit,  described  above.  On December  5, 1995,  a search
         warrant was executed at the Company's Sunnyvale,  California,  facility
         to  determine  whether  there was  evidence  of  criminal  conduct.  No
         criminal  charges have been filed  against the Company,  the  Company's
         management  or its  employees,  but no assurance can be given that such
         charges will not be filed in the future. A criminal complaint, if filed
         against the Company, the Company's  management or its employees,  could
         result in a loss of management and other personnel and could have other
         material  adverse  effects on the Company.  On each of December 15, and
         19, 1995,  class action filings were made against the Company  alleging
         certain   securities  law   violations,   including   omission   and/or
         misrepresentation  of  material  facts.  The alleged  omissions  and/or
         misrepresentations  are largely  consistent  with those outlined in the
         Cadence claim.

                       AVANT! CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

      NOTES TO SUPPLEMENTAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, (Continued)

                        DECEMBER 31, 1993, 1994, AND 1995

                     (Information for the Nine Months Ended
                    September 30, 1995 and 1996 is Unaudited)

         It is the Company's  position that the  plaintiffs'  claims are without
         merit.  The  Company  believes  it has  sufficient  defenses to all the
         plaintiffs' claims and intends to defend itself vigorously. If however,
         Avant!  defenses  are  unsuccessful,  the Company may be enjoined  from
         selling  certain  place and route  products  and may be required to pay
         damages  to  Cadence.  In  such  event,  Avant!'s  business,  operating
         results,   and  financial  condition  would  be  materially   adversely
         affected. In particular,  Avant!'s place and route products in dispute,
         ArcCell-BV and ArcCell XO (which have been replaced by Aquarius-BV  and
         Aquarius-XO)  accounted  for  approximately  20% of total  supplemental
         consolidated  revenues for the  three-year  period  ended  December 31,
         1995. In addition, it is likely that an adverse judgment against Avant!
         would result in a steep decline in the market price of Avant!'s  common
         stock.  Although it is reasonably possible the Company may incur a loss
         upon  conclusion of these  claims,  an estimate of any loss or range of
         loss cannot be made, and the Company believes,  based on information it
         presently possesses,  that the conclusion of these claims will not have
         a material  adverse effect on the Company's  supplemental  consolidated
         financial position.  However, there can be no assurance that an adverse
         judgment,  if granted,  in any claim would not have a material  adverse
         effect on the Company's business,  supplemental  consolidated financial
         position, or supplemental consolidated results of operations.

         The Company is subject to other claims that have arisen in the ordinary
         course of business. In the opinion of management,  all such matters are
         without  merit or  involve  amounts  which  would  not have a  material
         adverse  effect on the Company's  supplemental  consolidated  financial
         position if unfavorably resolved.

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Overview

         Avant!  resulted  from  the  merger  of  ArcSys,  Inc.  ("ArcSys")  and
Integrated Silicon Systems,  Inc. ("ISS") on November 27, 1995. On September 27,
1996, Avant! acquired Anagram Incorporated  ("Anagram").  The ISS merger and the
acquisition  of  Anagram  have been  accounted  for by the  pooling-of-interests
method.  Avant!'s consolidated  financial statements give retroactive effect for
all periods presented to include the results of operations,  financial position,
and cash flows of ISS and Anagram.

         Avant!  develops,  markets,  and supports software products that assist
design engineers in the physical layout,  design,  verification,  simulation and
timing analysis of advanced ICs.  Avant!'s  strategy is to focus on productivity
enhancing software for the ICDA segment of the EDA market.

         ArcSys was  founded  in  February  1991,  and began  shipping  Aquarius
(formerly  ArcCell),  its cell-based place and route software product,  in 1993.
ISS began shipping its initial  physical layout  software  products in 1988. ISS
introduced Hercules (formerly VeriCheck), its hierarchical physical verification
software,  in the third quarter of 1992.  ISS  introduced  its signal  integrity
analysis software in 1994. Anagram was founded in March 1993, and began shipping
ADM, its  high-capacity  circuit  simulation and  high-accuracy  timing analysis
software, in December 1994.  Substantially all of Avant!'s and Anagram's revenue
on a combined basis for 1993, 1994, 1995 and the nine months ended September 30,
1996 was derived from the licensing and support of Aquarius, Hercules and ADM.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 1995,  1994 and 1993, and the Nine Months
Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995

         Revenue.  Revenue  consists  primarily of fees for licenses of Avant!'s
software  products,  maintenance and customer support.  Revenue from the sale of
software  licenses is recognized  after  shipment of the  products,  delivery of
permanent  authorization  codes,  and  fulfillment of acceptance  terms, if any,
providing  that no  significant  vendor and  post-contract  support  obligations
remain and  collection  of the related  receivable  is probable.  Any  remaining
insignificant  vendor or  post-contract  support  obligations are accrued at the
time the  revenue is  recognized.  In  instances  where  there is a  contingency
regarding the sale,  revenue  recognition is delayed until the  contingency  has
been resolved.  When Avant! receives advance payment for software products, such
payments  are  reported as deferred  revenue  until all  conditions  for revenue
recognition are met. Avant!  has entered into certain license  agreements  under
which  software,  support and other  services  are  provided to a customer for a
bundled price for a specific period. Generally, revenue under such agreements is
recognized ratably over the contract period. Maintenance revenue is deferred and
recognized  ratably  over  the  term  of the  maintenance  agreement,  which  is
typically  twelve  months.  Revenue from  customer  training,  support and other
services is recognized as the service is performed.

         Avant!'s  total  revenue  increased  120%  from  $8,708,000  in 1993 to
$19,199,000  in 1994,  increased  116% to  $41,512,000  in 1995 from  1994,  and
increased 70% from  $28,693,000  in the first nine months of 1995 to $48,823,000
in  the  first  nine  months  of  1996.  The  percentage  of  Avant!'s   revenue
attributable to software licenses  decreased slightly from 88% in 1993 to 87% in
1994,  and to 86% in 1995,  and  decreased  from 86% in the first nine months of
1995 to 80% for the first nine months of 1996. This decrease is primarily due to
the  increased  user  base  and  resulting  increase  in  maintenance   revenue.

         Software revenue  increased 118% from $7,648,000 in 1993 to $16,660,000
in 1994, increased 114% to $35,633,000 in 1995 from 1994, and increased 59% from
$24,703,000  in the first nine months of 1995 to  $39,236,000  in the first nine
months of 1996.  Increases in software  revenue were due  primarily to increased
license  revenue  from  Avant!'s  place and  route,  physical  verification  and
simulation and timing software.  Services revenue increased 140% from $1,060,000
in 1993 to  $2,539,000 in 1994,  and  increased  132% to $5,879,000 in 1995 from
1994,  and  increased  140% from  $3,990,000 in the first nine months of 1995 to
$9,587,000 in the first nine months of 1996, all such  increases  reflecting the
growing base of installed  systems.  Through September 30, 1996, price increases
have not been a material  factor in Avant!'s  revenue  growth.  Avant!  does not
believe  that  period-to-period  comparisons  of past revenue  growth  should be
relied upon as indications of future performance.  See "Risk  Factors--Potential
Fluctuations in Quarterly Results."

         As  discussed  in the  consolidated  financial  statements,  Avant!  is
involved in litigation with Cadence,  and other related actions.  As a result of
such  litigation,  some  customers  may cancel or  postpone  orders of  Avant!'s
products. As of September 30, 1996, such cancellations and postponements had not
had a material  financial  impact on Avant!'s  revenues;  however a  significant
delay of orders in the future may impact Avant!'s business,  financial condition
and results of operations.  An adverse ruling in the litigation  could result in
Avant!'s  inability  to sell  certain of its  products  and, as a result,  could
materially  affect  Avant!'s  business,   financial  condition  and  results  of
operations.  In  particular,  Avant!'s  place and  route  products  in  dispute,
ArcCell-BV  and  ArcCell-XO   (which  have  been  replaced  by  Aquarius-BV  and
Aquarius-XO),  accounted for approximately  one-third of Avant!'s total revenues
for the three-year period ended December 31, 1995. See "Risk Factors--Litigation
Risk."

         Deferred  revenue  increased  from  $2,308,000  at December 31, 1994 to
$5,545,000 at December 31, 1995, and to $6,567,000 at September 30, 1996, due to
the  increase in the number of  maintenance  agreements  and license  agreements
where  software and  services are provided for a specific  period and revenue is
recognized ratably over the contract period.

                                       MDA-2
<PAGE>

         Costs of  Software.  Costs of software  consist  primarily  of expenses
associated  with  product   documentation   and  production  costs  as  well  as
amortization  of capitalized  software costs.  Costs of software  increased from
$236,000 in 1993 to $341,000 in 1994,  and  increased  to $444,000 in 1995,  and
increased  from  $338,000  in the first nine  months of 1995 to  $687,000 in the
first  nine  months  of  1996.  Costs  of  software  included   amortization  of
capitalized software amounting to $145,000, $199,000 and $228,000 in 1993, 1994,
and 1995,  respectively,  and  $155,000  and $70,000 in the first nine months of
1995 and 1996, respectively.

         Costs of Services.  Costs of services  consist of costs of  maintenance
and customer  support and direct costs associated with providing other services.
Maintenance  includes  activities  undertaken after the product is available for
general  release to  customers to correct  errors and make  routine  changes and
additions.  Customer  support  includes any  installation  assistance,  training
classes, telephone question and answer services, newsletters, on-site visits and
software or data  modifications.  Costs of services  increased  from $614,000 in
1993 to  $1,352,000 in 1994,  and increased to $2,988,000 in 1995,  representing
58%, 53% and 51% of services revenue for 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively,  and
increased from  $2,066,000 in the first nine months of 1995 to $3,521,000 in the
first nine months of 1996,  representing 52% and 37% of services revenue for the
first nine  months of 1995 and 1996,  respectively.  The  increases  in costs of
services were due  primarily to an increase in personnel and expenses  necessary
to support Avant!'s growing base of installed  software.  The reduction in costs
of services as a percentage of service revenue reflects the improved utilization
of Avant!'s customer support resources in servicing its increased customer base.

         Selling and Marketing Expenses.  Selling and marketing expenses consist
primarily of costs,  including sales  commissions,  of all personnel involved in
the sales process. This includes sales representatives, marketing associates and
application  engineers.  Selling and  marketing  expenses  also include costs of
advertising,  public  relations,   conferences  and  trade  shows.  Selling  and
marketing  expenses increased from $3,305,000 in 1993 to $7,655,000 in 1994, and
increased to $13,722,000  in 1995,  and increased  from  $9,485,000 in the first
nine  months of 1995 to  $12,634,000  in the  first  nine  months  of 1996.  The
increases  reflect higher sales  commissions  associated  with  increased  sales
volumes and increases in sales and increases  marketing  personnel.  Selling and
marketing  expenses  represented 38%, 40% and 33% of total revenue in 1993, 1994
and 1995,  respectively,  and 26% and 33% of total  revenue  for the nine months
ended  September  30, 1995 and 1996,  respectively.  The decrease in selling and
marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenue for  these periods  resulted
primarily from revenue growth and improved sales  productivity.  The increase in
selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenue in 1994 resulted
from higher costs  associated  with  increased  international  sales compared to
1993.  Avant!  expects to hire additional  sales and marketing  personnel and to
increase  promotion and  advertising  expenditures  throughout  the remainder of
1996.

         Research and Development  Expenses.  Research and development  expenses
include  all  costs   associated  with  the  development  of  new  products  and
significant enhancements of existing products. Research and development expenses
increased  from  $3,309,000  in 1993 to  $4,963,000  in 1994,  and  increased to
$8,284,000  in 1995,  and  increased  from  $5,578,000  in the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 to  $9,228,000  in the nine months ended  September 30, 1996.
Research and development  expenses represented 38%, 26% and 20% of total revenue
in 1993,  1994 and 1995,  respectively,  and 19% and 20% of total revenue in the
nine months  ended  September  30, 1995 and 1996,  respectively.  The  increases
resulted from increased  personnel-related costs associated with the development
of new  products  and  significant  enhancements  of existing  products  and the
increase in the number of research and development personnel. Avant! anticipates
that it will continue to devote  substantial  resources to product  research and
development.

         Software  development  costs are accounted  for in accordance  with the
Financial   Accounting   Standards  Board's  ("FASB")   Statement  of  Financial
Accounting  Standards ("SFAS") No. 86, under which Avant!  capitalizes  software
development costs once  technological  feasibility has been established.  Avant!
amortizes  such  amounts over three  years.  The amount of software  development
costs  capitalized for 1993,  1994, and 1995 and the nine months ended September
30,  1995  and  1996  was  $140,000,   $143,000,   $63,000,  $63,000  and  none,
respectively,  representing  4%,  3%,  1%,  1%  and  0% of  total  research  and
development expenses, respectively.

         General  and  Administrative   Expenses.   General  and  administrative
expenses  increased from $1,626,000 in 1993 to $2,123,000 in 1994, and increased
to $3,615,000 in 1995,  and increased  from  $2,416,000 in the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 to  $7,917,000  in the nine months ended  September 30, 1996.
The  increases  were  primarily  due to increases in personnel and related costs
necessary to support  Avant!'s  growth and legal and other costs incurred in the
first nine months of 1996 relating to the litigation  with Cadence.  General and
administrative  expenses  represented 18%, 11% and 9% of total revenue, in 1993,
1994, and 1995, respectively,  and 16% and 8% of total revenue in the first nine
months of 1995 and 1996,  respectively.  Avant!  began to incur  legal and other
costs in the fourth  quarter of 1995  relating to the  litigation  with Cadence.
Avant!  expects  these  legal  expenditures  to  continue  at least  through the
remainder of 1996 and into 1997.

         Merger  Expenses.  In  connection  with the merger  with ISS,  costs of
approximately  $3,590,000 were incurred.  These costs consisted primarily of the
following:  (a)  approximately  $2,858,000 for  transaction  fees for attorneys,
accountants,  investment  bankers and other related charges;  (b)  approximately
$233,000  for  the  elimination  of  duplicate  facilities  and  equipment;  (c)
approximately  $337,000  for  severance;  and  (d)  approximately  $162,000  for
incremental travel,  communications,  consulting and other costs associated with
internal and customer related integration  activities.  Avant! incurred costs of
approximately  $920,000  in the third  quarter of 1996  related  to the  Anagram
Acquisition.  Avant!  expects to incur costs of approximately  $8 million in the
fourth quarter of 1996, related to the Meta and FrontLine Acquisitions.

         Income (Loss) from  Operations.  Avant!  had a loss from  operations of
$382,000 in 1993,  and income from  operations of $2,765,000  and  $8,869,000 in
1994 and 1995,  respectively,  and $8,810,000 and  $13,916,000 in the first nine
months of 1995 and 1996,  respectively.  The  changes in  operating  results are
attributable  to revenue growth net of increased  expenses  necessary to support
Avant!'s  growth.  The operating  loss  represented 4% of total revenue in 1993.
Operating  income  represented  14% and 21% of total  revenue  in 1994 and 1995,
respectively,  and 31% and 29% of  total  revenue  for  the  nine  months  ended
September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

         Interest Income and Expense.  Interest  income was $200,000,  $878,000,
and  $2,468,000 in 1993,  1994 and 1995,  respectively,  and was  $1,569,000 and
$2,541,000  in the first nine  months of 1995 and 1996,  respectively.  Interest
income  increased  in 1994 and 1995 and the first  nine  months of 1996,  due to
larger cash  balances  resulting  primarily  from the proceeds of the ISS public
offering which was completed in February  1994, and the ArcSys public  offering,
which was completed in June 1995.  Interest expense represents  interest paid on
capital leases.

         Income Taxes. Avant!  accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS
No. 109. Prior to 1995,  Avant!  had  experienced  net operating  losses and had
established a valuation  allowance  against its deferred tax assets  relating to
the resulting net operating loss  carryforwards.  As a result of the merger with
ISS, the consolidated  financial statements have been restated and the valuation
allowance was eliminated  during 1993. The provision  (benefit) for income taxes
as a percentage of pre-tax  income (loss) was (576%),  35%, 45%, 34% and 36% for
1993,  1994,  1995  and the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1995 and  1996,
respectively.  The percentage in 1993 was different  from the federal  statutory
rate of approximately 34% due to the elimination of the valuation allowance. The
percentage in 1995 was higher than the federal  statutory rate of  approximately
34% due to the  effect of  expenses  related  to the ISS  merger  which were not
deductible for income tax purposes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Net  cash  provided  by  operations   was  $726,000,   $2,307,000   and
$12,335,000 in 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively, and $5,852,000 and $12,856,000
in the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1995  and  1996,  respectively.  The
increases in cash  provided by  operations  through 1995  primarily  result from
increases in net income.  The decrease in cash provided  from  operations on the
nine months ended  September  30, 1996 is due  primarily to an increase in other
assets, offset by in increase in net income. Avant! used $2,698,000, $22,891,000
and  $27,186,000  of net  cash  in  1993,  1994,  and  1995,  respectively,  and
$36,079,000  and  $23,751,000  in the nine months ended  September  30, 1995 and
1996,  respectively,  for  investing  activities.  Net  cash  used in  investing
activities relates primarily to net purchases of short-term "available-for-sale"
securities.  These  securities,  which are accounted for in accordance with SFAS
No. 115,  consist of short-term debt  securities,  U.S.  Government  Agency debt
securities,  U.S. Treasury Bills,  municipal/corporate  auction preferred stock,
municipal bonds and demand deposit investments in limited-maturity  fixed-income
mutual funds.  Cash is also used to acquire  equipment,  furniture and fixtures.
Purchases of equipment,  furniture  and fixtures  primarily  represent  computer
workstations  and file  servers for  Avant!'s  employees.  Avant!  expects  that
purchases of equipment will likely increase as Avant!'s employee base grows. Net
cash  provided  by  financing  activities  was  $4,446,000,   $20,404,000,   and
$32,811,000 in 1993, 1994, 1995, respectively, and $32,103,000 and $3,531,000 in
the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996,  respectively.  Cash provided
by financing  activities primarily results from the sale of preferred and common
stock.

         Avant!'s  stated payment terms generally are net 30 days.  However,  in
Avant!'s experience,  many customers do not comply with stated payment terms due
to industry practice, slower payment by certain major companies and most foreign
customers and general economic  conditions.  Avant!  periodically  increases its
allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect increased sales levels and collection
experience.  Avant!  believes  that  its  allowance  for  doubtful  accounts  is
adequate.

         As of September 30, 1996, Avant! had $77,445,000 of cash and short-term
investments and $83,941,000 in working capital. As of September 30, 1996, Avant!
had  $13,584,000  in  current  liabilities,  including  $6,567,000  of  deferred
revenue.  As of September 30, 1996, there was no bank  indebtedness  outstanding
and Avant! had no long-term  commitments  other than operating and capital lease
obligations.

         Based on its operating  plan,  and absent any adverse  judgments in the
pending litigation with Cadence,  Avant! believes that it has available cash and
short-term  investments  sufficient to fund Avant!'s operations through at least
the next 12 months.

Factors That May Affect Future Results

         On December 6, 1995, Cadence filed an action against Avant! and certain
of its officers in the United States District Court for the Northern District of
California alleging copyright infringement, unfair competition, misappropriation
of trade secrets,  conspiracy,  breach of contract,  inducing breach of contract
and false advertising. In addition to actual and punitive damages, Cadence seeks
to enjoin the sale of certain place and route products and has filed a motion to
obtain a preliminary  injunction pending trial of the action. Avant! has filed a
counterclaim  alleging antitrust  violations,  racketeering,  false advertising,
defamation, trade libel, unfair competition,  unfair trade practices,  negligent
and intentional interference with prospective economic advantage and intentional
interference  with  contractual  relations.  The  Santa  Clara  County  District
Attorney's office also is investigating the allegations of  misappropriation  of
trade secrets set forth in Cadence's  lawsuit. A criminal  complaint,  if filed,
against  Avant!,  the Company's  management or its employees,  could result in a
loss of management  and other  personnel and could have other  material  adverse
effects on the Company.  The  litigation  with Cadence may result in canceled or
postponed customer orders and increased future expenditures.  Since only a small
portion  of  Avant!'s  expenses  varies  with its  revenue,  canceled  orders or
significant  expenses  related  to the  Cadence  litigation  may have an adverse
affect  on  Avant!'s  business,   operating  results  and  financial  condition.
Furthermore,  an  adverse  ruling  in the  Cadence  litigation  could  result in
Avant!'s inability to sell certain of its products and, as a result,  could have
a material adverse effect on Avant!'s business,  operating results and financial
condition.  In  particular,  Avant!'s  place  and  route  products  in  dispute,
ArcCell-BV  and  ArcCell-XO   (which  have  been  replaced  by  Aquarius-BV  and
Aquarius-XO),   accounted  for   approximately   one  third  of  Avant!'s  total
consolidated  revenues for the  three-year  period ended  December 31, 1995. See
"Risk Factors--Litigation Risk

         Avant!'s  products  compete with similar  products from both larger and
smaller EDA  vendors,  and with  dissimilar  EDA  products  for a share of their
customers' EDA budgets. The EDA industry, and as a result Avant!'s business, has
benefited from the rapid world-wide growth of the semiconductor industry.  There
can be no assurance that this rapid growth will continue.  The EDA industry as a
whole may experience  pricing and margin  pressures from a decrease in growth in
the  semiconductor   industry,   or  other  changes  in  the  overall  computing
environment.  In fact, during 1996 the semiconductor industry experienced slower
growth than in 1995. In addition, the EDA industry is experiencing consolidation
as the major EDA vendors are seeking to provide a complete range of EDA products
to  customers.  There can be no  assurance  that Avant!  will be able to compete
successfully  against current and future competitors,  or that market conditions
faced by Avant!  will not adversely affect its business,  operating  results and
financial condition.

         Avant!'s  future  success  depends upon its ability to improve  current
products and develop new products  that address the  increasingly  sophisticated
needs of its customers.  There can be no assurance that Avant!  will continue to
be  successful  in developing  technologically  acceptable  products on a timely
basis.  Avant!'s  ability to develop and improve  products is  dependent  on key
individuals  for  their  technical  and  other  contributions.  There  can be no
assurance  that Avant!  can continue to attract and retain these key  personnel.
Loss of certain key personnel could result in loss of Avant!'s market  advantage
and could adversely affect its operating results and financial condition.

         Avant!   has  adopted  SFAS  No.  123,   Accounting   for   Stock-Based
Compensation.  This  statement  establishes  financial  accounting and reporting
standards for stock-based employee compensation plans,  including employee stock
purchase  plans and stock option  plans.  Management  plans to use the pro forma
approach allowed by this standard,  but plans to remain on Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,  for purposes of
measurement of  compensation  expense.  Therefore,  the Company will provide the
disclosures  required by SFAS No. 123, but its adoption will not have a material
effect on Avant!'s consolidated results of operations.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



The Board of Directors
Avant! Corporation:

         We have audited the accompanying  consolidated balance sheets of Avant!
Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, and
the related consolidated  statements of income,  shareholders'  equity, and cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1995. In
connection with our audit of the accompanying consolidated financial statements,
we also have  audited  the  accompanying  financial  statement  schedule.  These
consolidated  financial  statements  and  financial  statement  schedule are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these  consolidated  financial  statements  and  financial  statement
schedule 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 Avant!
Corporation  and  subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period  ended  December 31, 1995.  Also in our  opinion,  the related  financial
statement  schedule,  when considered in relation to the consolidated  financial
statements taken as a whole,  presents  fairly,  in all material  respects,  the
information set forth therein.

                       AVANT! CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                        December 31, 1993, 1994, and 1995
            (Information for the nine months ended September 30, 1995
                             and 1996 is unaudited)


(1) Nature Of Business And Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies


Nature of Business

Avant!  Corporation (the Company or Avant!),  formerly ArcSys,  Inc.,  develops,
markets and  supports  software  products  that assist  design  engineers in the
automated  design,  layout,  physical  verification,  and  analysis  of advanced
integrated  circuits.  Its primary customers are semiconductor  manufacturers in
the United States, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Europe.

Principles of Presentation and Preparation and Use of Estimates

The accompanying  consolidated  financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts
and  transactions  have  been  eliminated  in  consolidation.  The  consolidated
financial  statements  have been  restated  to reflect the effect of the mergers
with Integrated Silicon Systems, Inc. (ISS) and Anagram,  Incorporated (Anagram)
discussed in Note 2.

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

Revenue Recognition

Revenue  consists  primarily  of fees for  licenses  of the  Company's  software
products, maintenance, and customer support.

Software Revenue

Revenue from the sale of software  licenses is  recognized  upon shipment of the
products,   delivery  of  permanent  authorization  codes,  and  fulfillment  of
acceptance terms, if any, providing that no significant vendor and post-contract
support obligations remain and collection of the related receivable is probable.
Any  remaining  insignificant  vendor  obligations  are  accrued at the time the
revenue is recognized.  In instances where there is a contingency  regarding the
sale,  revenue  recognition is delayed until the  contingency has been resolved.
When the Company receives advance payments for software products,  such payments
are reported as deferred  revenue until all conditions  for revenue  recognition
are met.  The Company has entered into certain  license  agreements  under which
software,  support and other  services  are provided to a customer for a bundled
price for a specific period of time. Generally, revenue under such agreements is
recognized ratably over the contract period.

Services Revenue

Maintenance  revenue is deferred  and  recognized  ratably  over the term of the
maintenance  agreement,  which is  typically 12 months.  Revenue  from  customer
training, support, and other services is recognized as the service is performed.

                       AVANT! CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                        December 31, 1993, 1994, and 1995
            (Information for the nine months ended September 30, 1995
                             and 1996 is unaudited)


Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purpose of the accompanying  consolidated  statements of cash flows, the
Company  considers all highly liquid  investments  with an original  maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost
and consist primarily of overnight Eurodollar deposits, certificates of deposit,
and  commercial  paper.  The  carrying  amount  of  cash  and  cash  equivalents
approximates fair value.

Short-Term Investments

Short-term   investments,   which  consist  of  demand  deposit  investments  in
limited-maturity  fixed-income  mutual funds,  short-term debt securities,  U.S.
government  agency debt  securities,  U.S.  Treasury Bills,  municipal/corporate
auction preferred stock, and municipal bonds, are reported at fair value and are
classified as  available-for-sale  securities.  The cost of  securities  sold is
determined  using the specific  identification  method when  computing  realized
gains and losses.  Fair value is determined using available market  information.
There were no realized gains or losses on investments sold during 1993, 1994, or
1995.  As of  December  31,  1994,  the  gross  unrealized  loss  on  short-term
investments  was $222,000.  As of December 31, 1995, the net unrealized  gain on
short-term  investments  of $89,000  consisted  of $136,000 of gross  unrealized
gains, and $47,000 of gross unrealized losses.

Equipment, Furniture, and Fixtures

Equipment,  furniture,  and fixtures consist primarily of computer  workstations
and file  servers  for  employees  and are  stated  at cost  net of  accumulated
depreciation  of  $1,421,000  and  $2,271,000  as of December 31, 1994 and 1995,
respectively.  Depreciation  is  provided on the  straight-line  method over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets (generally five years).

Software Development Costs

Certain software development costs for new products and product enhancements are
capitalized  upon  the  establishment  of  technological  feasibility,  which is
defined by the Company as the  completion  of a working  model of the  software.
Capitalization of computer software  development costs ceases,  and amortization
begins,  when the product is available  for general  release to  customers.  The
ongoing  assessment of the  realizability  of these costs requires  considerable
judgment  related to anticipated  future product  revenues,  estimated  economic
life,  and changes in hardware and software  technology.  The amount of software
development  costs  capitalized for the years 1993, 1994, and 1995 was $140,000,
$143,000,  and  $63,000,  respectively.  Accumulated  amortization  of  software
development  costs was  $849,000  and $997,000 as of December 31, 1994 and 1995,
respectively.

Amortization of software  development costs is provided on a  product-by-product
basis. Annual amortization is the greater of the amount computed using the ratio
of  current  product  revenue  to the total of current  and  anticipated  future
product  revenue  or the  straight-line  method  over  the  remaining  estimated
economic life of the product. All current products have estimated economic lives
of three years.  Amortization of software  development costs for the years 1993,
1994, and 1995 was $145,000, $199,000, and $228,000, respectively.  Amortization
of  software  development  costs  is  included  in  costs  of  software  in  the
accompanying consolidated statements of income.

                       AVANT! CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                        December 31, 1993, 1994, and 1995
            (Information for the nine months ended September 30, 1995
                             and 1996 is unaudited)


Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred
tax assets  and  liabilities  are  recognized  for the  future tax  consequences
attributable to differences  between the financial statement carrying amounts of
existing  assets and liabilities  and their  respective tax bases.  Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to
taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to
be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a
change in tax rates is  recognized  in income in the period  that  includes  the
enactment date.  Valuation  allowances are established  when necessary to reduce
deferred tax assets to the amounts  expected to be realized.  Prior to 1995, the
Company had  experienced  net operating  losses and had  established a valuation
allowance  against  its  deferred  tax  assets  relating  to the  resulting  net
operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes due to the uncertainty surrounding
the realization of such assets.  As a result of the mergers discussed in Note 2,
the Company's  income tax provisions  were restated and the valuation  allowance
was eliminated during 1993.

Net Income Per Common Share

Net income per common  share is computed  using the weighted  average  number of
common and common  equivalent  shares  outstanding  during each period presented
using the treasury stock method.

Common stock equivalents consist of stock options and awards (using the treasury
stock method) and  convertible  preferred  stock.  Common stock  equivalents are
excluded  from the  computation  if their  effect is  antidilutive,  except that
common stock issued and stock options and awards during the 12 months  preceding
the initial  filing of the  Registration  Statement  for the  Company's  initial
public  offering  have been  included  in the  calculation  of common and common
equivalent  shares using the treasury  stock method as if they were  outstanding
for all periods presented.

Statements of Cash Flows

Interest of $36,000,  $42,000, $51,000, $44,000 and $9,000 was paid in the years
ended 1993, 1994, and 1995, and the nine-month  periods ended September 30, 1995
and 1996 respectively. Income taxes of $619,000, $600,000, $1,311,000, $155,000,
and $8,401,000  were paid in the years ended 1993,  1994, and 1995, and the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. Acquisition of equipment
under capital lease obligations was $247,000 and $298,000 during 1993, and 1994,
respectively.  Deferred stock compensation of $62,000, $588,000, and $1,387,000,

In  connection  with the merger with  Anagram,  the Company  recorded  estimated
merger related costs of  approximately  $920,000 in the quarter ended  September
30, 1996.  These costs consist  primarily of the  following:  (i)  approximately
$300,000 for transaction fees for attorneys,  accountants,  investment  bankers,
and other related charges;  (ii)  approximately  $250,000 for the elimination of
duplicate facilities and equipment;  (iii) approximately $370,000 for severance,
relocation,  and related costs. All of the  merger-related  costs relate to cash
expenditures.

On November 27, 1995, the Company issued  approximately  6,400,000 shares of its
common  stock  for all of the  outstanding  common  stock  of ISS,  and  assumed
approximately  1,500,000 stock options and subscriptions under various ISS stock
option and purchase  plans.  The merger has been  accounted  for as a pooling of
interests, and accordingly, the Company's consolidated financial statements have
been  restated  for all  periods  prior to the merger to include  the results of
operations,  financial  position,  and  cash  flows of ISS.  As a result  of the

In  connection  with the merger with ISS, the Company  recorded  merger  related
costs of  approximately  $3,600,000.  These  costs  consisted  primarily  of the
following:  (i)  approximately  $2,858,000 for  transaction  fees for attorneys,
accountants,  investment bankers, and other related charges;  (ii) approximately
$233,000  for the  elimination  of duplicate  facilities  and  equipment;  (iii)
approximately  $337,000  for  severance;  and (iv)  approximately  $162,000  for
incremental travel, communications,  consulting, and other costs associated with
internal  activities.   Of  the  $3,600,000  million  of  merger-related  costs,
approximately  $3,400,000  related  to  cash  expenditures  while  approximately
$200,000  related  to  noncash  charges.   As  of  December  31,  1995,  accrued
liabilities included $392,000 of expected future cash expenditures.

On May 5, 1994, ISS completed a merger with Performance  Signal Integrity,  Inc.
(PSI), a Pennsylvania corporation. The financial position, results of operations
and cash flows of PSI were not material to ISS, and the merger was accounted for
as an immaterial  pooling of interests.  Therefore,  ISS's  previously  reported
financial results were not restated for the PSI merger.

(3) Mandatory Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock Conversion

In connection  with the completion of the Company's  initial public  offering in
June 1995, all the outstanding mandatory redeemable  convertible preferred stock
was automatically converted into approximately 3,570,000 shares of the Company's
common stock.  In addition,  outstanding  warrants to acquire Series B preferred
stock were  automatically  converted  into  approximately  26,000  shares of the
Company's common stock.

(4) Shareholders' Equity

Initial Public Offering and Changes in Authorized Common and Preferred Stock

In April 1995, the Company's Board of Directors  authorized the Company to issue
up to 5,000,000  shares of preferred  stock in one or more series and to fix the
rights,  preferences,  privileges,  and restrictions thereof, including dividend
rights,  conversion  rights,  voting rights,  terms of  redemption,  liquidation
preferences, and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation
of such  series,  without any  further  vote or action by the  shareholders.  In
addition,  the Company increased its authorized number of shares of common stock
from 10,000,000 to 25,000,000 shares.

In June 1995, the Company closed its initial public  offering of common stock at
$13.00 per share.  The net  proceeds  of the  offering  were  $27,713,000  after
deducting applicable costs and expenses. In connection with the public offering,
all the  outstanding  Series A  preferred  stock  automatically  converted  into
approximately 687,000 shares of the Company's common stock.

Common Stock

The Company has issued to the Company's founders and employees  2,683,000 shares
of its  common  stock,  which are  subject to  repurchase  upon  termination  of
employment.  The number of shares of common stock subject to the Company's right
to  repurchase  declines 25% after the founder or employee has been employed one
year, and thereafter ratably over three years on a monthly basis. As of December
31, 1994 and 1995,  232,000 and 66,000  shares,  respectively,  were  subject to
repurchase. In addition,  certain Anagram shares of common stock were subject to
repurchase.

1995 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan

The Company approved the 1995 Stock  Option/Stock  Issuance Plan (the 1995 Plan)
in April 1995,  under which all remaining  outstanding  stock options and shares
available for grant under the Company's  1993 Stock  Option/Stock  Issuance Plan
and  1,000,000  additional  shares  of the  Company's  common  stock  have  been
authorized for issuance, for a total of 2,336,000 shares of the Company's common
stock.  The 1995 Plan is  intended  to serve as a  successor  to the 1993  Stock
Option/Stock  Issuance  Plan (see  below) and has terms  similar to those of the
1993  Stock  Option/Stock  Issuance  Plan.  Under the 1995 Plan,  however,  each
individual  serving as a nonemployee  member of the Company's Board of Directors
on the date the  Underwriting  Agreement  for the initial  public  offering  was
executed  received  an  option  grant on such  date  for  20,000  shares  of the
Company's  common stock,  provided such individual had not otherwise been in the
prior employ of the Company. Each individual who first becomes a

nonemployee  member of the Board of  Directors  thereafter  will receive a share
option grant on the date such individual  joins the Board of Directors  provided
such individual has not been in the prior employ of the Company. In addition, at
each annual shareholders' meeting,  beginning with the 1996 Annual Shareholders'
Meeting,  each individual who is to continue to serve as a nonemployee member of
the Board of Directors after the meeting will receive an additional option grant
to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock whether or not such individual has been
in the prior employ of the Company.

1993 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan

In September 1993, the Board of Directors  approved the 1993 Stock  Option/Stock
Issuance Plan (the 1993 Plan). Options granted under the 1993 Plan may be either
incentive  stock options or  nonstatutory  stock  options,  as designated by the
Company's Board of Directors.  The 1993 Plan provides that the exercise price of
an  incentive  stock option and a  nonstatutory  option will be no less than the
fair  market  value  and 85% of the  fair  market  value,  respectively,  of the
Company's  common stock at the date of grant,  as  determined  by the  Company's
Board of Directors.

The Company's  Board of Directors  also has the authority to set exercise  dates
(no  longer  than 10 years  from the date of grant),  payment  terms,  and other
provisions for each grant.  Generally options granted under the 1993 Plan become
exercisable  as to 25% of the  shares  on the  anniversary  date  of  grant  and
thereafter become exercisable ratably over three years.  

The Company has recorded for financial  statement  purposes a deferred charge of
$650,000,  representing the difference between the exercise price and the deemed
fair value of the Company's  common stock for 355,000  shares  subject to common
stock  options  granted in the fourth  quarter of 1994 and the first  quarter of
1995. The deferred stock compensation will be amortized to compensation  expense
over the period  during which the options  become  exercisable,  generally  four
years.

ISS Option Plans

In connection with the ISS merger  discussed in Note 2, various ISS option plans
were assumed by the Company,  thereby  allowing  participants to purchase Avant!
stock in amounts and at prices  adjusted to reflect  the  exchange  ratio of the
merger.

The Company  incurred stock  compensation  expense, representing  the difference
between  the  exercise  price and the deemed fair value of the  Company's common
stock,  relating  to  nonqualified  stock  options of  $151,000  during 1993 and
$20,000, during 1994.

Anagram Option Plans

In  connection  with the Anagram  merger  discussed in Note 2,  various  Anagram
option plans were  assumed by the  Company,  thereby  allowing  participants  to
purchase Avant! stock in amounts and at prices adjusted to reflect a two for one
stock split effective June 1996 and the exchange ratio of the merger.

As of December  31, 1995,  there were  approximately  698,000  shares of Anagram
restricted  common stock  outstanding  which were subject to  repurchase  by the
Company.

(10) Commitments and Contingencies

On December 6, 1995,  Cadence Design  Systems,  Inc.  (Cadence)  filed an action
against  the Company and  certain of its  officers  in the  Northern  California
United  States   District  Court   alleging   copyright   infringement,   unfair
competition,  misappropriation of trade secrets, conspiracy, breach of contract,
inducing breach of contract, and false advertising. The essence of the complaint
is that the  Company  misappropriated  and  improperly  copied  source code from
Cadence,  and that the Company has competed  unfairly by making false statements
concerning  Cadence and its  products.  The action also alleges that the Company
induced certain  individual  defendants to breach their agreements of employment
and  confidentiality  with Cadence.  In addition to actual and punitive damages,
Cadence  seeks to enjoin the sale of certain  place and route  products  and has
filed a motion to obtain a preliminary  injunction  pending trial of the action.
Avant!  filed its opposition to Cadence's motion on June 28, 1996. Cadence filed
a reply to Avant!'s  opposition on August 27, 1996.  The preliminary  injunction

hearing  took  place  on  September  10,  1996.  No  ruling  on the  preliminary

racketeering,  false advertising,  defamation,  trade libel, unfair competition,
unfair trade practices,  negligent and intentional interference with prospective
economic advantage, and intentional interference with contractual relations.

The Santa Clara County  District  Attorney's  office is also  investigating  the
allegations of misappropriation of trade secrets set forth in Cadence's lawsuit,
described  above. On December 5, 1995, a search warrant was executed at Avant!'s
Sunnyvale,  California,  facility to  determine  whether  there was  evidence of
criminal  conduct.  No criminal  charges  have been filed  against  Avant!,  the
Company's  management or its employees,  but no assurance can be given that such
charges will not be filed in the future. A criminal complaint,  if filed against
the Company, the Company's  management or its employees,  could result in a loss
of management and other personnel and could have other material adverse effects.
On each of December 15 and 19,  1995,  class  action  filings  were made against
Avant!  alleging certain  securities law violations,  including  omission and/or
misrepresentation    of   material   facts.   The   alleged   omissions   and/or
misrepresentations  are largely  consistent  with those  outlined in the Cadence
claim.

It is the Company's  position that the plaintiffs' claims are without merit. The
Company  believes it has sufficient  defenses to all the plaintiffs'  claims and
intends  to  defend  itself  vigorously.   If  however,   Avant!   defenses  are
unsuccessful,  the Company may be enjoined from selling  certain place and route
products and may be required to pay damages to Cadence. In such event,  Avant!'s
business,  operating  results,  and  financial  condition  would  be  materially
adversely affected. In particular, Avant!'s place and route products in dispute,
ArcCell-BV  and  ArcCell  XO  (which  have  been  replaced  by  Aquarius-BV  and
Aquarius-XO)  accounted  for  approximately  one  third  of  total  consolidated
revenues for the three-year  period ended December 31, 1995. In addition,  it is
likely that an adverse judgment  against Avant!  would result in a steep decline
in the market price of Avant!'s common stock. Although it is reasonably possible
the Company may incur a loss upon conclusion of these claims, an estimate of any
loss or range  of loss  cannot  be  made,  and the  Company  believes,  based on
information it presently possesses, that the conclusion of these claims will not
have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position.
However,  there can be no assurance that an adverse judgment, if granted, in any
claim  would  not have a  material  adverse  effect on the  Company's  business,
consolidated financial position, or consolidated results of operations.

The Company is subject to other claims that have arisen in the  ordinary  course
of business. In the opinion of management, all such matters are without merit or
involve amounts which would not have a material  adverse effect on the Company's
consolidated financial position if unfavorably resolved.



11. Subsequent Events

On November 27, 1996, the Company issued  approximately  1,812,000 shares of its
common stock for all of the outstanding  common stock of FrontLine,  and assumed
approximately 410,000 warrants and stock options under option plans.

On October 29, 1996, the Company issued  approximately  4,471,000  shares of its
common  stock  for all of the  outstanding  common  stock of Meta,  and  assumed
approximately  608,000 stock options and subscriptions under option and purchase
plans.

The   mergers   described   above  are   expected   to  be   accounted   for  as
pooling-of-interests,  and, accordingly,  the Company's  consolidated  financial
statements  will be restated for all periods prior to the mergers to include the
results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of FrontLine and Meta.

In connection  with the mergers with Meta and FrontLine,  the Company expects to
incur  direct  transaction  costs and  merger-related  integration  expenses  of
approximately $8,000,000, consisting of transaction fees for investment bankers,
attorneys,   accountants,   financial  printing  and  shareholder   meetings  of
approximately  $4,400,000 and severance costs, charges for duplicate facilities,
and certain other related costs of approximately $3,600,000. As of September 30,
1996, accrued  liabilities  included  approximately  $865,000 of expected future
cash expenditures.
