NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a
fair presentation of financial position and results of operations have been
made. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
results which may be expected for a full year. The information included in this
Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the 1995
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's
annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Commission.
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.
2. INCOME PER SHARE
Income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and
common equivalent shares outstanding during each period presented. Fully diluted
and primary income per share are the same for each of the periods presented.
Common stock equivalents consist of stock options and awards (using the treasury
stock method).
3. STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS
Income taxes of $847,000 and $0 were paid during the three months ended March
31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Deferred stock compensation of $588,000 was
recognized during the three months ended March 31, 1995 for stock options issued
below market value. Interest of $4,000 and $14,000 was paid during the three
months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
4. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING OF STOCK
In June 1995, the Company closed its initial public offering of common stock
at $13 per share. The net proceeds of the offering were $27,713,000 after
deducting applicable issuance 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.
5. MERGER
On November 27, 1995, the Company issued approximately 6,400,000 shares of
its common stock for all of the outstanding common stock of Integrated Silicon
Systems, Inc. (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.

6. LITIGATION
The Company is involved in various litigation as discussed in Item 1 of Part
II of this Form 10-Q. The Company has incurred costs of approximately
$1,000,000, net of expected recoveries from insurance. The receivable for
expected recoveries from insurance is included in other current assets.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
The discussion in this Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ
materially from those discussed herein. Factors that could cause or contribute
to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in
"Quarterly Results" and "Factors That May Impact Future Operations" as well as
those discussed in this section and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, and the risks
discussed in the "Risk Factors" section included in the Company's Registration
Statement on Form S-1 as declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission on June 6, 1995 (Reg. No. 33-91128), the Registration Statement on
Form S-4 as declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on
October 23, 1995 (Reg. No. 33-96648), and other risks detailed from time to time
in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission reports, including the
report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.
OVERVIEW
Avant! Corporation (the "Company") resulted from the merger of ArcSys, Inc.
(ArcSys) and Integrated Silicon Systems, Inc. (ISS) on November 27, 1995.
Results and discussion for all periods relate to the Company, unless otherwise
indicated. 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.
The Company develops, markets, and supports software products that assist
design engineers in the physical layout, design, verification, and analysis of
advanced integrated circuits (ICs). The Company's strategy is to focus on
productivity enhancing software for the integrated circuit computer-aided design
(IC CAD) segment of the electronic design automation (EDA) market.
ArcSys was founded in February 1991, and began shipping ArcCell, its
cell-based place and route software product, in 1993. ISS began shipping its
initial physical layout software products in 1988. ISS introduced Vericheck, its
hierarchical physical verification software, in the third quarter of 1992. ISS
introduced its signal integrity analysis software in 1994. Substantially all of
the Company's revenue to-date was derived from the licensing and support of
ArcCell and Vericheck.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following table sets forth the percentage of total revenue for certain
items in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements (after giving effect to
rounding) for the periods indicated:

COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995 AND 1996
Revenue. Revenue consists primarily of fees for licenses of the
Company'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 the Company receives advance payment 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. 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.
The Company's revenue increased 75% from $7,458,000 in the first quarter of
1995 to $13,041,000 in the first quarter of 1996. The percentage of the
Company's revenue attributable to software licenses decreased from 87% in 1995
to 80% in 1996. This decrease is primarily due to the increased user base and
resulting increase in maintenance revenue. Increases in revenue were due
primarily to increased license revenue from the Company's place and route and
physical verification software. Revenue from international sources accounted for
approximately 31% of total revenue in the first quarter of 1995 compared to 50%
in the first quarter of 1996. To date, price increases have not been a material
factor in the Company's revenue growth. License revenue increased 61% from
$6,491,000 in the first quarter of 1995 to $10,479,000 in the first quarter of
1996. Revenue from services increased 165% from $967,000 in the first quarter of
1995 to $2,562,000 in the first quarter of 1996, reflecting the growing base of
installed systems.
7
<PAGE> 10
As discussed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements and Item
1 of Part II, the Company is involved in litigation with Cadence Design Systems,
Inc., and other related actions (collectively "the Cadence litigation"). As a
result of the Cadence litigation, some customers may cancel or postpone orders
of the Company's products. As of March 31, 1996, there had not been a material
financial impact on the Company; however significant order delays in the future
may impact the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations.
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
$106,000 in the first quarter of 1995 to $228,000 in the first quarter of 1996,
representing 2% of software revenue in 1995 and 1996. Costs of software included
amortization of capitalized software amounting to $57,000 and $27,000 in the
first quarters 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 $486,000 in the
first quarter of 1995 to $1,224,000 in the first quarter of 1996, representing
50% and 48% of services revenue, respectively. The increase in costs of services
was due primarily to an increase in personnel and expenses necessary to support
the Company's growing base of installed software. Customer service personnel
increased from 22 persons at March 31, 1995 to 43 persons at March 31, 1996. The
reduction in costs of services revenue as a percentage of service revenue in
1996 reflects improved utilization of the Company's customer support resources
in servicing its increasing 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,
benchmarking personnel and field application engineers. Selling and marketing
expenses also include costs of advertising, public relations, conferences and
trade shows. Selling and marketing expenses increased from $2,837,000 in the
first quarter of 1995 to $3,585,000 in the first quarter of 1996. The increase
reflects increases in sales commissions associated with increased sales volumes.
As a percentage of revenue, selling and marketing expenses decreased from 38% in
the first quarter of 1995 to 28% in the first quarter of 1996. Sales and
marketing personnel increased from 47 persons at March 31, 1995 to 48 persons at
March 31, 1996. At the time of the merger with ISS, several engineers were
transferred from sales to customer service. The decrease in selling and
marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue in the first quarter of 1995 as
compared to the first quarter of 1996 resulted primarily from lower commission
costs relating to certain international sales. The Company expects to hire
additional sales and marketing personnel and to increase promotion and
advertising expenditures throughout 1996.
Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses
include all costs associated with the development of new products and
significant enhancement of existing products. Research and development expenses
increased 81% from $1,526,000 in the first quarter of 1995 to $2,768,000 in the
first quarter of 1996. Research and development expenses represented 20% and 21%
of revenue in the first quarters of 1995 and 1996, respectively. The increases
in research and development expenses resulted from increased personnel-related
costs associated with the development of new products and enhancement of
existing products. The Company anticipates that it will continue to devote
substantial resources to product research and development.
8
<PAGE> 11
Software development costs are accounted for in accordance with the
Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 86, under which the Company is required to capitalize software
development costs once technological feasibility has been established. The
Company amortizes such amounts over three years. The amount of software
development costs capitalized in the first quarter of 1995 was $55,000, none in
the first quarter of 1996, representing 3% and 0% of total research and
development costs, respectively. During 1996, capitalized software costs have
not been material as products have been made available for general release upon
achievement of technological feasibility. The number of personnel associated
with the development of new products and enhancement of existing products
increased from 72 at March 31, 1995 to 96 persons at March 31, 1996.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
increased from $695,000 in the first quarter of 1995 to $1,862,000 in the first
quarter of 1996. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses
increased from 9% in the first quarter of 1995 to 14% in the first quarter of
1996. The increase was primarily due to legal and other costs incurred in the
first quarter of 1996 relating to the Cadence litigation. The Company has
incurred costs of approximately $1,000,000, net of expected recoveries from
insurance related to the Cadence litigation. The receivable for expected
recoveries from insurance is included in other current assets. The Company
expects these legal expenditures to continue during the remainder of 1996.
Income from Operations. The Company had operating income of $1,808,000 in
the first quarter of 1995 and $3,374,000 in the first quarter of 1996. The
change in operating results is attributable to revenue growth net of increased
expenses necessary to support the Company's growth. Operating income represented
24% and 26% of revenues in the first quarters of 1995 and 1996, respectively.
Interest Income and Expense. Interest income was $336,000 in the first
quarter of 1995 and $765,000 in the first quarter of 1996. Interest income
increased in 1996 over 1995 due to larger cash balances resulting primarily from
the proceeds of the Company's public offering which was completed in June, 1995.
Interest expense represents interest paid on capital leases.
Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the
Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109. The provision for income taxes was $697,000 in the first
quarter of 1995 and $1,449,000 in the first quarter of 1996. The provision for
income taxes as a percentage of pre-tax income was 33% and 35% for the first
quarters of 1995 and 1996, respectively.
QUARTERLY RESULTS
The Company's quarterly results have varied in the past and may be subject
to fluctuations resulting from a variety of factors, including purchasing
patterns of customers, the completion of product evaluations by customers, the
timing of product enhancements and product introductions by the Company and its
competitors, the timing of significant orders, and the resolution of pending
litigation. The customer evaluation process for the Company's products is
lengthy, and the timing and outcome of such evaluations have affected the
Company's historical quarterly performance and may impact future quarterly
results. A substantial portion of the Company's revenue in each quarter results
from orders received in the same quarter. The Company's expense levels are
based, in part, on its expectations as to future revenue. The Company continues
to expand and increase its operating expenses in order to generate and support
future revenue. If revenue levels are below expectations, operating results are
likely to be disproportionately affected because only a small portion of the
Company's expenses varies with its revenue. As a result, the Company believes
that period to period comparisons of financial results are not necessarily
meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.
Due to the factors noted above, the Company's future earnings and stock
price may be subject to significant volatility, particularly on a quarterly
basis. Any shortfall in revenues or earnings from levels
9
<PAGE> 12
expected by securities analysts could have an immediate and significant adverse
effect on the trading price of the Company's common stock. Additionally, the
Company may not learn of such shortfalls until late in a fiscal quarter, which
could result in an even more immediate and adverse effect on the trading price
of the Company's common stock. The Company's stock price may also be affected by
broader market trends that may be unrelated to the Company's performance.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash provided by operations was $2,485,000 in the first quarter of 1995
and $4,673,000 in the first quarter of 1996. The Company used $2,893,000 and
$16,884,000 of net cash in the first quarter of 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, which were
$2,033,000 in the first quarter of 1995 and $15,977,000 in the first quarter of
1996. The securities, which are accounted for in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, consist of short-term debt securities,
US 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 the
Company's employees. The Company expects that purchases of equipment will likely
increase as the Company's employee base grows.
The Company's stated payment terms generally are net 30 days. However, in
the Company'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. The Company periodically
increases its allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect increased sales levels
and collection experience. The Company believes that its allowance for doubtful
accounts is adequate.
As of March 31, 1996, the Company had $73,516,000 of cash and short-term
investments and $71,026,000 of working capital. As of March 31, 1996, the
Company had $14,328,000 in current liabilities, including $6,790,000 of deferred
revenue. As of March 31, 1996, there was no bank indebtedness outstanding and
the Company had no long-term commitments other than operating lease obligations.
Based on its operating plan, the Company believes that it has available
cash and short-term investments sufficient to fund the Company's operations for
at least the next twelve months.
FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
The Company'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 the Company'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 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 the Company will be
able to compete successfully against current and future competitors, or that
market conditions faced by the Company will not adversely affect its operating
results and financial condition.
10
<PAGE> 13
The Company'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 the Company will continue
to be successful in developing technologically acceptable products on a timely
basis. The Company's ability to develop and improve products is dependent on key
individuals for their technical and other contributions. There can be no
assurance that the Company can continue to attract and retain these key
personnel. Loss of certain key personnel could result in loss of the Company's
market advantage and could adversely affect its business, operating results and
financial condition.
The Cadence litigation may result in canceled or postponed customer orders
and increased future expenditures. Since only a small portion of the Company's
expenses varies with revenue, canceled orders or significant expenses related to
the Cadence litigation may have an adverse affect on the Company's business,
operating results and financial condition.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
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 appropriated 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 ArcCell products and has recently
filed a motion to obtain a preliminary injunction pending trial of the action.
The Company is presently scheduled to file its opposition to Cadence's motion
on June 28, 1996.
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 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.
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.
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. In the opinion of management, based on
information it presently possesses, the conclusion of these claims will not have
a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position.
Although 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, 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.
On May 12, 1995, Charles E. Cump, the Company's former Vice President,
Worldwide Sales and Marketing filed a complaint against the Company and the
Company's Chief Executive Officer in Superior Court, Santa Clara County. The
complaint alleges breach of contract, violation of public policy and several
tort claims in connection with the Company's alleged failure to pay the former
employee certain commissions and with respect to the modification of the
Company's commission plan. In addition, Mr. Cump claims that certain stock
options were improperly taken from him. Mr. Cump is seeking compensatory damages
according to proof, punitive damages, costs of suit and such other relief as the
court deems proper. The Company has conducted an internal investigation and
reviewed the matter with counsel, and believes that it has meritorious defenses
to these claims, and intends to defend this suit vigorously. Although there can
be no assurance that Mr. Cump will not prevail in whole or in part with respect
to his claims, the Company does not believe that the resolution of this suit
would have a material adverse effect on its business, consolidated operating
results and consolidated financial condition.
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.
