                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        (In thousands, except share data)
                                   (Unaudited)

(1)      BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The interim financial statements included herein have been prepared,
         without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
         and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures
         normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
         generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
         pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the management of the
         Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the
         information presented not misleading. Interim financial statements are
         by necessity somewhat tentative; judgments are used to estimate interim
         amounts for items that are normally determinable only on an annual
         basis. The financial information as of December 31, 1999 is derived
         from the Company's audited financial statements.

         The interim period information presented herein includes normally
         recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of the management of
         the Company, only necessary for a fair statement of the results of the
         respective interim periods. Results of operations for interim periods
         are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for an entire
         year.

 (2)     INVENTORIES

         Inventories, consisting principally of computer hardware, electronic
         sub-assemblies and test equipment, are valued at the lower of cost
         (first-in, first-out) or market. Costs used for inventory valuation
         purposes include material, labor and manufacturing overhead.

 (3)     EARNINGS PER SHARE

         Earnings per share amounts presented in the accompanying Statements of
         Income have been calculated in accordance with Statement of Accounting
         Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share." The following options to
         purchase common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted
         earnings per share because the options' exercise prices were greater
         than the average market price of the common stock and the effect would
         have been anti-dilutive.

(5)      (5)  REVENUE RECOGNITION

         Revenue from systems sales and software licenses is generally
         recognized as the product ships and when no significant obligations
         remain. Contract service and support revenues billed in advance are
         recorded as deferred revenue and recognized ratably over the
         contractual period as the services and support are performed. Revenue
         from other services, such as consulting and training, is recognized as
         the related services are performed or when certain milestones are
         achieved.

         In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission released Staff
         Accounting Bulletin, or SAB, No. 101 "Revenue Recognition in Financial
         Statements." SAB 101 provides guidance for public companies on the
         recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in their financial
         statements. The semiconductor equipment industry and the accounting
         profession are currently evaluating SAB 101 and the practical effects
         of its implementation are still uncertain. We have historically
         recognized revenue at the time our products are shipped which is the
         predominant method used by companies in the semiconductor equipment
         industry. SAB 101 would require that we recognize revenue at the time a
         shipped product has been accepted by a customer. This change in our
         revenue recognition policy would have to be reported as a change in
         accounting principle effective January 1, 2000. Implementation of this
         change has been deferred by the SEC to the fourth quarter of 2000. The
         change would result in the restatement of our financial statements for
         the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000, to record a significant
         non-operating charge against net income, as of the first day of the
         period, reflecting the deferral of revenue for shipments of our
         products previously reported as revenue in 1999 which had not been
         accepted by customers as of December 31, 1999. This deferred revenue
         would be recognized in the period in which formal customer acceptance
         has been obtained. The revenue recognized for each of the previously
         reported quarters during the year 2000 would be restated accordingly
         and could result in revenue recognition occurring outside the quarter
         in which product was shipped. While we are still evaluating the
         implementation of SAB 101, we believe it will affect the timing and
         predictability of ongoing revenue recognition and may require a portion
         of our quarterly and annual revenue in 2000 and beyond to be deferred.

OVERVIEW

We were founded in 1983 to design and develop integrated circuit validation
systems to test and measure complex electronic devices at the prototype stage.
We were acquired by Valid Logic Systems, Incorporated in 1989 and then by
Cadence in 1991 as a result of the merger of Valid Logic into Cadence. We were
operated as a separate subsidiary of Cadence. In July 1995, we completed our
initial public offering of common stock and in February 1997, completed our
secondary public offering of our common stock. Cadence sold shares in each of
those offerings, and as of June 30, 2000, continues to own approximately 33% of
our common stock.

Our net revenue is comprised of validation systems revenue, software revenue,
including validation systems software and our virtual test software, and service
revenue, which consists primarily of revenue derived from maintenance and
consulting contracts. Revenue from validation systems sales and software
licenses is generally recognized as the product ships and when no significant
obligations remain. Contract service and support revenues billed in advance are
recorded as deferred revenue and recognized ratably over the contractual period
as the services and support are performed. Revenue from other services, such as
consulting and training, is recognized as the related services are performed or
when specified milestones are achieved.

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) released Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (SAB 101), "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements." SAB 101 provides guidance for public companies on the recognition,
presentation and disclosure of revenue in their financial statements. The
semiconductor equipment industry and the accounting profession are currently
evaluating SAB 101 and the practical effects of its implementation are still
uncertain. We have historically recognized revenue at the time our products are
shipped which is the predominant method used by companies in the semiconductor
equipment industry. SAB 101 would require us to recognize revenue at the time a
shipped product has been accepted by a customer. This change in our revenue
recognition policy would have to be reported as a change in accounting
principles effective January 1, 2000. Implementation of this change has been
deferred by the SEC to the fourth quarter of 2000. The change would result in
the restatement of our financial statements for the quarter and six months ended
June 30, 2000 to record a significant non-operating charge against net income,
as of the first day of the period, reflecting the deferral of revenue for
shipments of our products previously reported as revenue in 1999 which had not
been accepted by customers as of December 31, 1999. This deferred revenue would
be recognized in the period in which formal customer acceptance has been
obtained. The revenue recognized for each of the previously reported quarters
during the year 2000 would be restated accordingly and could result in revenue
recognition occurring outside the quarter in which product was shipped. While we
are still evaluating the implementation of SAB 101, we believe it will affect
the timing and predictability of ongoing revenue recognition and may require a
portion of our quarterly and annual revenue in 2000 and beyond to be deferred.

                                       8
<PAGE>

We derive a substantial portion of our net revenue from the sale of validation
systems which typically range in price from $200,000 to $1.8 million per unit
and may be priced as high as $2.3 million for a single unit. As a result, the
receipt of a single order, and the timing of the receipt and shipment of a
single order can have a significant impact on our net revenue and results of
operations for a particular period. In addition, a substantial portion of our
net revenue can be realized during the last few weeks of each quarter. A
significant portion of our operating expenses is relatively fixed in nature, and
planned expenditures are based in part on anticipated orders. As a result, we
may be unable to reduce such expenses in a particular period if our revenue
goals for that period are not met. The inability to reduce spending quickly
enough to compensate for any revenue shortfall would magnify the adverse impact
of such revenue shortfall on our results of operations.

The industries in which we compete and the markets that we serve are highly
cyclical. During recent years, segments of these industries, including the
aerospace, automotive, computer, consumer electronics, data communications,
medical electronics, semiconductor and telecommunications industries, have
experienced significant economic downturns from time to time. The semiconductor
industry is particularly volatile due to rapid technological change, short
product life cycles, fluctuations in manufacturing capacity and pricing and
gross margin pressures. Our operations have in the past and may in the future
fluctuate substantially from period to period as a consequence of industry
patterns like these, or of general economic conditions affecting the timing of
significant orders from customers and other factors affecting capital spending.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET REVENUE

Net revenue increased 32% to $17.4 million for the three months ended June 30,
2000 from $13.2 million for the second quarter of 1999. Revenue from Intel
accounted for 51% of net revenue down from 55% during the same quarter last
year. Revenue from Level One accounted for 10% of net revenue for the three
months ended June 30, 2000. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of net
revenue during the quarters ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. International revenue
accounted for 16% of net revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2000, as
compared to 19% for the same quarter in 1999.

Systems revenue increased $3.9 million, or 42%, to $13.3 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 2000 from $9.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. This
increase is primarily attributable to increased revenue from sales of the
Vanguard logic validation systems and Electra MX mixed-signal validation
systems, both for the quarter and year-to-date.

Software revenue was relatively flat at $1.5 million for the current quarter
ended June 30, 2000 as compared to $1.6 million for the same quarter in 1999.
Lower sales of Virtual Test software accounted for the slight decrease.

Service revenue increased to $2.5 million, or $14%, for the quarter ended June
30, 2000 as compared to $2.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. This
increase is partially attributable to increased Virtual Test maintenance revenue
as the installed base for that product grows and partially to older generation
products remaining under maintenance contracts longer than planned.

Net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2000 were $33.1 million compared
to $24.4 million for the same period in 1999, an increase of $8.7 million or
36%. Revenue from Intel accounted for 48% of net revenue for the six months
ended June 30, 2000.

GROSS MARGIN

Gross margin was $10.5 million, or 60.4% of net revenue, in the second quarter
of 2000 and $8.3 million, or 62.8% of net revenue, for the same period of 1999.
As a percentage of net revenue the decrease in gross margin is attributable to
several factors: higher level of shipments of mixed signal products which have
lower gross margins because of significant third party content, net revenue from
higher-margin Virtual Test software representing a

                                       9
<PAGE>

smaller proportion of total net revenue, higher manufacturing overhead,
increased provision for inventory obsolescence and warranty costs, and an
increase in the amortization of capitalized software development costs.

For the six months ended June 30, 2000 gross margin increased to $20.0 million
from $15.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. As a percentage of
revenue, gross margin decreased to 60.3% for the period from 61.8% for the six
months ended June 30, 1999, reflecting the same factors discussed above.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Research, development and engineering (R&D) expenses consist of employee costs,
costs of materials consumed, depreciation of equipment and engineering related
costs net of capitalized software development costs. Net R&D expenses increased
to $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $2.1 million for
the second quarter of 1999. Net R&D expenses amounted to 14% of net revenue in
the three months ended June 30, 2000, compared to 16% in the three months ended
June 30, 1999. The increase in the dollar amount of net R&D expenses reflects
our continued investment in the development of the new Orion memory validation
systems and a decrease in the amount of software development costs we
capitalized. Software development costs capitalized for the quarter ended June
30, 2000 were $0.4 million as compared to $0.5 million for the same quarter last
year. The amount of amortization of capitalized software development costs
(included in cost of revenue) for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 increased to
$0.4 million from $0.3 million for the same period last year.

For the six months ended June 30, 2000, net R&D expenses increased to $4.7
million from $4.0 million for the same period in 1999. As a percentage of net
revenue, net R&D expenses were 14% for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and
17% for the same period in 1999. The decrease in net R&D expenses as a
percentage of net revenue both for the quarter and year-to-date were directly
attributable to the increase in net revenue discussed above.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses of $5.6 million for the
second quarter of 2000 increased 18% from $4.7 million in the same quarter of
1999. As a percentage of net revenue, SG&A expenses decreased to 32% in the
three months ended June 30, 2000 from 36% in the three months ended June 30,
1999. The increase in the dollar amount of SG&A expenses reflects normal annual
salary increases implemented in April 2000, increased sales commissions on
higher sales volumes, and investments in sales and marketing infrastructure.

For the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, SG&A expenses were $10.6
million and $9.1 million respectively. As a percentage of net revenue, SG&A
expenses decreased to 32% for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to 37%
for the same period in 1999. The decrease in SG&A expenses as a percent of net
revenue for both the quarter and year-to-date resulted directly from the
increase in net revenue discussed above.

OTHER INCOME, NET

Other income, net, increased to $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30,
2000 from $0.1 million in the quarter ended June 30, 1999 and to $0.7 million
from $0.2 million for the respective six-month periods. The increases were
primarily due to higher average cash and investments balances and to a $0.1
million gain resulting from the translation of foreign denominated receivables
into US dollars.

INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rate was 32% for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and
1999. Our income tax position includes the effects of available tax benefits in
certain countries where we do business, benefits for available net operating
loss carryforwards, and tax expense for subsidiaries with pre-tax income. While
management currently anticipates our effective tax rate to be approximately 32%
for the year 2000, this rate is sensitive to the geographic and product mix of
our net revenue, and therefore could be higher or lower in the future depending
upon actual net revenue realized.

                                       10
<PAGE>

NET INCOME

As a result of the various factors discussed above, net income for the first
half of 2000 increased to $3.6 million, or 11% of net revenue, and $0.43 per
diluted share compared to $1.5 million, or 6% of net revenue, and $0.19 per
diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of June 30, 2000, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of cash, cash
equivalents and short-term investments of approximately $31.6 million, and funds
available under an existing bank line of credit of $10.0 million. Cash, cash
equivalents and short-term investments increased by $9.0 million from December
31, 1999. Since 1988, we have relied on cash generated from operations and cash
raised through public stock offerings as our principal source of liquidity.

OPERATING ACTIVITIES

Cash generated from operating activities of $9.5 million increased by $3.4
million for the six month period ended June 30, 2000, from $6.1 million for the
same period last year. This improvement in operating cash flows was primarily
attributable to improved operating results and to the Company's asset management
programs aimed at increasing turnover of accounts receivable and inventories.

Trade receivables increased to $14.2 million at June 30, 2000 from $14.0 million
at December 31, 1999, primarily due to increased sales volume offset by improved
cash collection efforts (marked by a reduction in the days sales outstanding to
74 at June 30, 2000 from 109 at March 31, 2000). Inventories decreased to $12.4
million at June 30, 2000 from $13.2 million at December 31, 1999, as a result of
increased sales volume and focused inventory reduction programs. Deferred
revenue increased to $3.1 million at June 30, 2000 compared to $2.2 million at
December 31, 1999. This increase reflects the normal seasonal increase in
renewals of annual maintenance contracts by customers in the first quarter of
2000.

INVESTING ACTIVITIES

Investing activities provided net cash of $3.9 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 and used net cash of $4.7 million for the same period last year.
For the six months ended June 30, 2000, we converted $6.6 million of short-term
investments into cash equivalents, invested $1.4 million in capital
expenditures, $0.5 million in service spare parts and $0.8 million of software
development costs were capitalized.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES

Financing activities provided net cash of $2.1 million for the six-month period
ended June 30, 2000 as compared to using net cash of $17,000 for the comparable
period in 1999. This increase primarily resulted from proceeds generated from
the issuance of stock under our employee stock option and purchase plans
amounting to $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to
$0.2 million for the same period a year ago.

We realized reductions in current income tax liabilities of $0.8 million in the
six months ended June 30, 2000, resulting from the benefit of tax deductions of
employee gains upon exercise of Cadence and our employee stock options. During
the same period in 1999 no such benefits were recorded. The compensation for tax
purposes associated with stock option exercises are typically not treated as
expense for financial reporting purposes, and the exercise of Cadence stock
options does not increase the number of shares of our common stock outstanding.
The tax benefits available from the stock option deduction may decrease in the
future as employee holdings of Cadence stock options decline due to option
exercises and cancellations. Additionally, the timing and magnitude of such
decrease in tax benefits, if realized, is uncertain as the number of employee
stock options which are exercised, and

                                       11
<PAGE>

the amount of gains realized upon exercise, will be determined by, among other
factors, fluctuations in the market values of Cadence common stock and our
common stock.

We have obtained a $10.0 million revolving line of credit with U.S. National
Bank of Oregon, which is available for general corporate purposes as needed.
Under the agreement, we can borrow, with interest at the bank's prime lending
rate, or if lower, at certain margins above bankers' acceptance or interbank
offering rates. There have been no borrowings against the line of credit to
date. The term of the agreement ends April 30, 2001.

We believe that cash on hand, short-term investments, and cash generated from
operations, as well as cash available from the Company's existing $10.0 million
short-term line of credit, will be sufficient to meet the Company's working
capital and other cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.
Management is continually evaluating opportunities to develop and introduce new
products, and to acquire complementary businesses or technologies. At present,
the Company has no understandings, commitments or agreements with respect to any
such opportunities. Any transactions resulting from such opportunities, if
consummated, may necessitate funding from other sources. There can be no
assurance that such funding will be available or that, if available, such
funding will be obtainable on terms favorable to the company.

ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

INTEREST RATE RISK

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relate primarily to
our investment portfolio. We mitigate our risk by diversifying investments among
high credit quality securities in accordance with our investment policy. As of
June 30, 2000, our investment portfolio includes marketable debt securities of
$23.5 million. These securities are subject to interest rate risk, and will
decline in value if the interest rates increase. Due to the short duration of
our investment portfolio, an immediate 10 percent increase in interest rates
would not have a material effect on our financial condition or the results of
operations.

FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE RISK

The Euro is the functional currency of our subsidiaries in France, Germany and
Switzerland. The Yen is the functional currency of our subsidiary in Japan. We
maintain cash balances denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar in
order to meet minimum operating requirements of our foreign subsidiaries.

We have limited involvement with derivative financial instruments and do not use
them for trading purposes. Derivatives are used to manage well-defined foreign
currency risks. We enter into forward exchange contracts to hedge the value of
recorded short-term receivables and payables denominated in a foreign currency.
Accordingly, the impact of exchange rates on the forward contracts will be
substantially offset by the impact of such changes on the underlying
transactions. The effect of an immediate 10 percent change in exchange rates on
the forward exchange contracts and the underlying hedged positions denominated
in foreign currencies would not be material to our financial position or the
results of operation.
