MAGMA DESIGN AUTOMATION, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Magma Design Automation, Inc.
(Magma or the Company), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial
statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to these rules and regulations. However, management believes that the disclosures are adequate
to ensure that the information presented is not misleading. The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) to
present a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. The operating results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending April 6, 2008. The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys Form 10-K for the year ended April 1, 2007, as filed with the SEC on June 6, 2007. The accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated balance sheet at April 1, 2007 is derived from audited consolidated financial statements at that date.

Preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management periodically evaluates such estimates
and assumptions for continued reasonableness. Appropriate adjustments, if any, to the estimates used are made prospectively based upon such periodic evaluation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation

The
consolidated financial statements of Magma include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Accounts denominated in foreign-currency have been
translated from their functional currency to the U.S. dollar.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Specifically, the Company
modified its revenue and cost of revenue presentation in its unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and, accordingly, the related amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal
2007 period have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Fiscal Year End

The Company has a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the first Sunday subsequent to March 31. The Companys fiscal years consist of four quarters
of 13 weeks each except for each fifth or sixth fiscal year, which includes one quarter with 14 weeks. All references to years or quarters in these notes to consolidated financial statements represent fiscal years or fiscal quarters, respectively,
unless otherwise noted.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ratified a consensus opinion reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force
(EITF) on EITF Issue 07-3, Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received for Use in Future Research and Development Activities. The guidance in EITF 07-3 requires the Company to defer and
capitalize nonrefundable advance payments made for goods or services to be used in research and development activities until the goods have been delivered or the related services have been performed. If the goods are no longer expected to be
delivered nor the services expected to be performed, the Company would be required to expense the related capitalized advance payments. The consensus in EITF 07-3 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years,
beginning after December 15, 2007 and is to be applied prospectively to new contracts entered into on or after December 15, 2007. Early adoption is not permitted. Retrospective application of EITF 07-3 is also not permitted. The Company
intends to adopt EITF 07-3 effective January 1, 2008 and does not expect that the adoption of EITF 07-3 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies only to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit
fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this statement on its consolidated financial position or results of
operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 159, The
Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value.
SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this statement on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Note 2. Stock-Based Compensation

On
April 3, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R) which requires the fair value recognition of share-based payment arrangements. The stock-based
compensation recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations was as follows (in thousands):

The Company has adopted several stock incentive plans providing stock-based awards to employees,
directors, advisors and consultants, including stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units. The Company also has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), which enables employees to purchase shares of the Companys
common stock. Stock-based compensation expense by type of award was as follows (in thousands):

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of its stock
options and ESPP awards. The Black-Scholes option pricing model incorporates various highly subjective assumptions including expected future stock price volatility and expected terms of instruments. The Company established the expected term for
employee options and awards, as well as forfeiture rates, based on the historical settlement experience, while giving consideration to vesting schedules and to options that have life cycles less than the contractual terms. Assumptions for option
exercises and pre-vesting terminations of options were stratified for employee groups with sufficiently distinct behavior patterns. Expected future stock price volatility was developed based on the average of the Companys historical weekly
stock price volatility and average implied volatility. The risk-free interest rate for the period within the expected life of the option is based on the yield of United States Treasury notes at the time of grant. The expected dividend yield used in
the calculation is zero as the Company has not historically paid dividends.

As of July 1, 2007, there was approximately $18.2 million and $5.4 million of unrecognized
stock-based compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to stock option grants and ESPP awards, which will be recognized over the remaining weighted average vesting period of approximately 2.33 years and 1.18 years, respectively.

The cost of restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards is determined using the fair value of the Companys common stock on the
date of the grant, and compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period, which is generally two to four years. As of July 1, 2007, there was approximately $6.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively, of unrecognized stock-based
compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards, which will be recognized over the remaining weighted average vesting period of approximately 1.55 years and 1.54 years, respectively.

Note 3. Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share

The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common
stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted net income per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including stock
options and redeemable convertible subordinated notes using the as-if-converted method.

For the three months ended July 1, 2007 and
July 2, 2006, all potential common shares outstanding during the period were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as their effect was anti-dilutive. Such shares included the following (in thousands, except per share
data):

Note 8. Convertible Notes, Current and Long-Term

Current: Zero Coupon Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2008 (the 2008 Notes)

On May 22, 2003, the Company completed an offering of $150.0 million principal amount of the 2008 Notes due May 15, 2008 to qualified buyers
pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $145.1 million. The 2008 Notes do not bear coupon interest and were initially convertible into shares of the Companys
common stock at a conversion price of $22.86 per share, for an aggregate of 6,561,680 shares. The 2008 Notes are subordinated to the Companys existing and future senior indebtedness and effectively subordinated to all indebtedness and other
liabilities of the Companys subsidiaries. The Company paid approximately $4.5

million in transaction fees to the underwriters of the offering and approximately $0.4 million in other debt issuance costs. The Company is amortizing the
transaction fees and issuance costs over the life of the 2008 Notes using the effective interest method.

In order to minimize the dilutive
effect from the issuance of the 2008 Notes, the Company undertook the following additional transactions concurrent with the issuance of the Notes:



| |  |  | The Company repurchased approximately 1.1 million shares of its common stock at a price of $18.00 per share, or approximately $20.0 million, from one of the
initial purchasers of the 2008 Notes, and those shares were retired as of May 30, 2003.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The Company and Credit Suisse First Boston International (CSFB International) entered into convertible bond hedge and warrant transactions with respect
to the Companys common stock, the exposure for which is held by CSFB International. Under the convertible bond hedge arrangement, CSFB International agreed to sell to the Company, for $22.86 per share, up to 6,561,680 shares of Magma common
stock to cover the Companys obligation to issue shares upon conversion of the Notes. In addition, the Company issued CSFB International a warrant to purchase up to 6,561,680 shares of common stock for a purchase price of $31.50 per share.
Purchases and sales under this arrangement may be made only upon expiration of the 2008 Notes or their earlier conversion (to the extent thereof). Both transactions may be settled at the Companys option either in cash or net shares, and will
expire on the earlier of a conversion event or the maturity of the convertible debt on May 15, 2008. The transactions are expected to reduce the potential dilution from conversion of the 2008 Notes.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The net cost of $20.3 million incurred in connection with these arrangements, which consisted of the $56.2 million cost of the convertible bond hedge,
offset in part by the $35.9 million proceeds from the issuance of the warrant, was presented in stockholders equity as a reduction of additional paid-in-capital, in accordance with the guidance in Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-19,
Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Companys Own Stock. If the contracts are ultimately settled in a manner that results in the Company delivering or receiving cash, the amount
of cash paid or received should be reported as a reduction of, or an addition to, stockholders equity. The shares issuable under these arrangements were excluded from the calculation of earnings per share as their effect was anti-dilutive.

In May 2005, the Company repurchased, in privately negotiated transactions, in an aggregate principal amount of $44.5 million (or
approximately 29.7% of the total) of the 2008 Notes at an average discount to face value of approximately 22%. The Company spent approximately $34.8 million on the repurchase. The repurchase left approximately $105.5 million principal amount of the
2008 Notes outstanding. In addition, a portion of the hedge and warrant transactions was terminated in connection with the repurchase. In fiscal 2006, the Company recorded a gain of $9.7 million on the repurchase of the 2008 Notes, which was
partially offset by the write-off of $0.9 million of deferred financing costs associated with the 2008 Notes. The net proceeds of $140,000 from the termination of a portion of the hedge and warrant were charged to additional paid-in capital.

In May 2006, the Company repurchased, in privately negotiated transactions, in an aggregate principal amount of $40.3 million (or
approximately 38.2% of the remaining principal) of the 2008 Notes at an average discount to face value of approximately 13%. The Company spent approximately $35.0 million on the repurchases. The repurchase left approximately $65.2 million principal
amount of the 2008 Notes outstanding. In addition, a portion of the hedge and warrant transactions was terminated in connection with the repurchase. In the first quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company recorded a gain of $5.3 million on the repurchase,
which was partially offset by the write-off of $0.5 million of deferred financing costs associated with the 2008 Notes. The Company received 14,467 shares of Magma common stock, valued at approximately $102,000, as settlement for termination of a
portion of the hedge and warrant in connection with the repurchase. The amount was charged to additional paid-in-capital.

In March 2007,
the Company exchanged, in privately negotiated transactions, an aggregate principal amount of $49.9 million (or approximately 76.7% of the remaining principal) of the 2008 Notes for a new series of 2% convertible senior notes due May 2010. The
exchange left approximately $15.2 million principal amount of the 2008 Notes outstanding. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company recorded a gain of $2.1 million on the exchange, which was partially offset by the write-off of $0.4 million
of deferred financing costs associated with the 2008 Notes. Please see below under Long-Term: 2% Convertible Senior Notes due 2010 for further discussion of the exchange. In addition, a portion of the hedge and warrant was terminated in
connection with the exchange. The net proceeds of $88,000 from the termination of a portion of the hedge and warrant were charged to additional paid-in capital.

##### Table of Contents

As of July 1, 2007, the unamortized balance of transaction fees and debt issuance costs related to
the 2008 Notes was approximately $77,000. The shares issuable on the conversion of the 2008 Notes are included in fully diluted shares outstanding under the if-converted method of accounting for purposes of calculating diluted earnings
per share.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company reclassified the $15.2 million principal amount of the 2008 Notes from
long-term to current liabilities on its unaudited condensed balance sheets as of July 1, 2007, as the 2008 Notes became payable within one year. Similarly, the related $77,000 unamortized balance of transaction fees and debt issuance costs was
reclassified from long-term to current assets on the Companys unaudited condensed balance sheets as of July 1, 2007.

Long-Term: 2%
Convertible Senior Notes due 2010 (the 2010 Notes)

In March 2007, the Company exchanged, in privately negotiated
transactions, an aggregate principal amount of $49.9 million of the 2008 Notes for an equal aggregate principal amount of the 2010 Notes. The 2010 Notes mature on May 15, 2010 and bear interest at 2% per annum, with interest payable on
May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing May 15, 2007. The 2010 Notes are unsecured senior indebtedness of Magma, which rank senior in right of payment to the 2008 Notes and junior in right of payment to Magmas revolving
line of credit facility. In addition, after May 20, 2009, the Company will have the option to redeem the 2010 Notes for cash in an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount at the time of such redemption. The 2010 Notes
also contain a net share settlement provision which allows the Company, at its option, in lieu of delivery of some or all of the shares of common stock otherwise issuable upon conversion of the 2010 Notes, to pay holders of the 2010 Notes in cash
for all or a portion of the principal amount of the converted 2010 Notes and any amounts in excess of the principal amount which are due.

The 2010 Notes will be convertible upon the occurrence of certain conditions into shares of Magma common stock at an initial conversion price of $15.00 per share, which is equivalent to an initial conversion rate of approximately 66 shares
per $1,000 principal amount of 2010 Notes. The conversion price and the conversion rate will adjust automatically upon certain dilution events. The 2010 Notes are convertible into shares of Magma common stock on or prior to maturity at the option of
the holders upon the occurrence of certain change of control events. Conversions under these circumstances require Magma to pay a premium make-whole amount whereby the conversion rate on the 2010 Notes may be increased by up to 22 shares. The
premium make-whole amount shall be paid in shares of common stock upon any such automatic conversion, subject to Magmas option for net share settlement.

The 2010 Notes shall also be convertible at the option of the holders at such time as: (i) the closing price of Magma common stock exceeds 150% of the conversion price of the 2010 Notes, initially $15.00, for 20
out of 30 consecutive trading days; (ii) the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2010 Notes is less than 98% of the product of (x) the average price of common stock for each day during any five consecutive trading day period and
(y) the conversion rate per $1,000 principal amount of 2010 Notes; (iii) Magma distributes to all holders of common stock rights or warrants entitling them to purchase additional shares of common stock at less than the closing price of
common stock on March 5, 2007; (iv) Magma distributes to all holders of common stock any form of dividend which has a per share value exceeding 7.5% of the price of the common stock on the day prior to such date of distribution;
(v) the period beginning 60 days prior to May 15, 2010; (vi) there has been a designated change of control of Magma; or (vii) the 2010 Notes have been called for redemption by Magma. Any such conversions shall not entitle the
holders of the 2010 Notes to any premium make-whole payment by Magma.

The exchange offer was treated as an extinguishment of the 2008
Notes in accordance with EITF 96-19, Debtors Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments, as amended by EITF 06-6, Debtors Accounting for a Modification (or Exchange) of Convertible Debt Instruments.
The exchange resulted in a gain of $2.1 million on extinguishment of debt, which was partially offset by the write-off of $0.4 million of deferred financing costs associated with the 2008 Notes. The Company initially recorded the 2010 Notes at fair
value of $47.8 million, net of the debt discount of $2.1 million. The debt discount is being amortized to interest expenses over the term of the 2010 Notes. As of July 1, 2007, debt discount balance related to the 2010 Notes was $1.9 million.

The $1.4 million of underwriting and legal fees related to the 2010 Notes offering was capitalized upon issuance and is being amortized
over the term of the 2010 Notes using the effective interest method. As of July 1, 2007, the unamortized balance of debt issuance costs related to the 2010 Notes was approximately $1.2 million. The shares issuable on the conversion of the
2010 Notes are included in fully diluted shares outstanding under the if-converted method of accounting for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share.

Note 9. Restructuring charges

During the three months ended July 1, 2007, the Company recorded
restructuring charges of $0.3 million for costs related to termination of 21 employees resulting from the Companys realignment to current business conditions. As of July 1, 2007, substantially all of these termination costs had been paid
and the Company had not planned to incur additional costs related to this business realignment.

Note 10. Contingencies

The Company is subject to certain legal proceedings described below and from time to time, it is also involved in other disputes that arise in the ordinary course of business. The number and significance of these
litigation proceedings and disputes are increasing as the Companys business expands and grows larger. Any claims against the Company, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, require significant amounts
of management time and result in the diversion of significant operational resources. As a result, these litigation proceedings and disputes could harm the Companys business and have an adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements.
However, the results of any litigation or dispute are inherently uncertain and, at this time, no estimate could be made of the loss or range of loss, if any, from these litigation matters and disputes. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any
liabilities relating to these contingencies as of July 1, 2007. Litigation settlement and legal fees are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

02394, was filed in U.S. District Court, Northern District of California. The complaint alleges that defendants failed to disclose information regarding the risk of the Companys infringing intellectual property rights of Synopsys, Inc., in
violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and prays for unspecified damages. In March 2006, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint. Plaintiff filed a further
amended complaint in June 2006, which defendants again moved to dismiss. Defendants motion was granted in part and denied in part by an order dated August 18, 2006, which dismissed claims against two of the individual defendants. The case
is now proceeding on the remaining claims and is scheduled for trial on December 3, 2008. This case was also discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 1, 2007.

On July 26, 2005, a putative derivative complaint captioned Susan Willis v. Magma Design Automation, Inc. et al., No. 1-05-CV-045834,
was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Santa Clara. The Complaint seeks unspecified damages purportedly on behalf of the Company for alleged breaches of fiduciary duties by various directors and officers, as
well as for alleged violations of insider trading laws by executives during a period between October 23, 2002 and April 12, 2005. Defendants have demurred to the Complaint, and the action has been stayed pending further developments in the
putative shareholder class action referenced above. This case was also discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 1, 2007.

Narpat Bhandari v. Magma Design Automation, Inc. Cadence Design Systems, Inc., Dynalith Systems, Inc., Altera Corp., Mentor Graphics, Corp. and Aldec, Inc., Case No. 6:06-CV-480, United States District
Court, Eastern District of Texas, Tyler Division. On November 8, 2006, a complaint was filed alleging that the Company and several other named defendants infringe United States Patent No. 5,663,900. The complaint identifies our FineSim
software, and other unidentified devices or programs, as the products accused of infringement. The Company and the other Defendants moved to dismiss the complaint on the basis that the only named plaintiff, Bhandari, does not own the 900
Patent. On May 11, 2007, the Court issued a Memorandum Opinion and Order granting the motion to dismiss and dismissed the case without prejudice. This case was also discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
April 1, 2007.

Cadence Design Systems, Inc., Magma Design Automation, Inc., Altera Corp., and Mentor Graphics, Corp. v. Narpat
Bhandari and Vanguard Systems, Inc., Case No. C 07-00823, United States District Court, Northern District of California, San Francisco Division. The Company and the other named plaintiffs filed a complaint for declaratory judgment on
February 8, 2007, which complaint was amended on March 27, 2007. The amended complaint for declaratory judgment seeks five claims of relief: (1) declaratory judgment of non-infringement of the 900 Patent; (2) declaratory
judgment of invalidity of the 900 Patent; (3) lack of ownership of the 900 Patent; (4) the 900 Patent is unenforceable due to laches; and (5) declaratory judgment that unclean bars enforcement of the 900
Patent. The Company and the other Plaintiffs contend that LSI Logic is a joint owner of the 900 Patent and the Company has obtained a license from LSI. On April 6, 2007, Defendants Narpat Bhandari and Vanguard Systems, Inc. answered the
amended complaint and filed a counterclaim of patent infringement of the 900 Patent. As in the Texas Action, the claim for patent infringement against the Company identified our FineSim software, and other unidentified devices or programs, as
the products accused of infringement. The counterclaim seeks unspecified monetary damages, pre- and post-judgment interest, attorneys fees, and costs. The Court conducted a case management conference on May 21, 2007 and issued a case
management order on May 23, 2007 approving Plaintiffs and Defendants proposal to bifurcate the issue of LSIs ownership from all other remaining issues and stay activities relating to validity, enforceability, infringement, and
damages until after a bench trial to resolve the ownership issue. A trial to the Court on the issue of ownership of the 900 Patent is set for October 9, 2007. While the Company intends to vigorously pursue this litigation against Bhandari
and Vanguard Systems, the results of any litigation are inherently uncertain and the Company can not assure that it will be able to successfully defend against claims of patent infringement. The Company is currently unable

to assess the extent of damages and/or other relief, if any, that could be awarded. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the claims asserted by
Bhandari and Vanguard Systems. However, the results of any litigation are inherently uncertain and the Company can not assure that it will be able to successfully defend against the claims of Bhandari and Vanguard Systems. The Company is currently
unable to assess the extent of damages and/or other relief, if any, that could be awarded to Bhandari and Vanguard Systems. This case was also discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 1, 2007.

Indemnification Obligations

The Company enters into
standard license agreements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company agrees to indemnify its customers for losses suffered or incurred by them as a result of any patent, copyright, or other intellectual property
infringement claim by any third party with respect to the Companys products. These indemnification obligations have perpetual terms. The Companys normal business practice is to limit the maximum amount of indemnification to the amount
received from the customer. On occasion, the maximum amount of indemnification the Company may be required to provide may exceed the amount received from the customer. The Company estimates the fair value of its indemnification obligations to be
insignificant, based upon its historical experience concerning product and patent infringement claims. Accordingly, the Company has no liabilities recorded for indemnification under these agreements as of July 1, 2007.

The Company has agreements whereby its officers and directors are indemnified for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was,
serving at the Companys request in such capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, the Company has a directors and
officers liability insurance policy that reduces its exposure and enables the Company to recover a portion of future amounts paid. As a result of the Companys insurance policy coverage, the Company believes the estimated fair value of
these indemnification agreements is minimal. Accordingly, no liabilities have been recorded for these agreements as of July 1, 2007.

In connection with certain of the Companys recent business acquisitions, it has also agreed to assume, or cause Company subsidiaries to assume, the indemnification obligations of those companies to their respective officers and
directors. No liabilities have been recorded for these agreements as of July 1, 2007.

Warranties

The Company offers certain customers a warranty that its products will conform to the documentation provided with the products. To date, there have been
no payments or material costs incurred related to fulfilling these warranty obligations. Accordingly, the Company has no liabilities recorded for these warranties as of July 1, 2007. The Company assesses the need for a warranty accrual on a
quarterly basis, and there can be no guarantee that a warranty accrual will not become necessary in the future.

Note 11. Segment Information

The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information, which requires the reporting of segment information using the management approach. Under this approach, operating segments are identified in substantially the same manner as they are reported internally and used by the
Companys chief operating decision maker (CODM) for purposes of evaluating performance and allocating resources. Based on this approach, the Company has one reportable segment as the CODM reviews financial information on a basis
consistent with that presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 12. Income Taxes

On April 2, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes  An Interpretation of
FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). Under FIN 48, companies are required to apply the more likely than not threshold to the recognition and derecognition of tax positions. FIN 48 also provides guidance on the
measurement of tax positions, balance sheet classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized a $0.5 million increase to
liabilities for uncertain tax positions, which was accounted for as an adjustment to the April 2, 2007 balance of accumulated deficit.

Upon adoption of FIN 48, the Company also recognized additional long-term income tax assets of $6.9 million and additional long-term income tax liabilities of $6.9 million to present the unrecognized tax benefits as gross amounts on
its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition, the Company reclassified $3.0 million of income tax liabilities from current to long-term liabilities as the payment of cash is not anticipated within the next twelve months.

As of April 2, 2007, the Company had approximately $10.4 million of total gross unrecognized tax benefits, of which $3.5 million, if
recognized, would favorably affect its effective tax rate in future periods and $1.6 million, if recognized, would result in a credit to additional paid-in capital. The Company currently has a full valuation allowance against its U.S. net
deferred tax assets which would impact the timing of the effective tax rate benefit should any of these uncertain tax positions be favorably settled in the future.

Upon adoption of FIN 48, the Company adopted an accounting policy to classify interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. For years prior to adoption of FIN 48, the Company also reported
interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits as interest expense. As of April 2, 2007, the total amount of accrued interest and penalties was $248,000.

The Company is subject to income taxes in the United States and in numerous foreign jurisdictions and, in the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax
determination is uncertain. The statute of limitations for adjustments to the Companys historic tax obligations will vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The tax years 2001 to 2006 remain open to examination by the major tax jurisdictions
to which the Company is subject. At July 1, 2007, the Company does not anticipate that its total unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change due to any settlement of examination or expiration of statute of limitation within the next
twelve months.

|ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section should be read in conjunction with Selected
Consolidated Financial Data and our condensed consolidated financial statements and results appearing elsewhere in this report. Throughout this section, we make forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. You can often identify these and other forward looking statements by terms such as becoming, may, will, should,
predicts, potential, continue, anticipates, believes, estimates, seeks, expects, plans, intends, or comparable terminology. These
forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, our expectations about revenue and various operating expenses. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, and we have based
these expectations on our beliefs and assumptions, such expectations may prove to be incorrect. Our actual results of operations and financial performance could differ significantly from those expressed in or implied by our forward-looking
statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to: competition in the EDA market; Magmas ability to integrate acquired businesses and technologies; potentially higher-than-anticipated costs
of litigation; potentially higher-than-anticipated costs of compliance with regulatory requirements, including those relating to internal control over financial reporting; any delay of customer orders or failure of customers to renew licenses;
adoption of products by customers; weaker-than-anticipated sales of Magmas products and services; weakness in the semiconductor or electronic systems industries; the ability to manage expanding operations; the ability to attract and retain the
key management and technical personnel needed to operate Magma successfully; the ability to continue to deliver competitive products to customers; and changes in accounting rules. We do not intend to, and we do not undertake any additional
obligation to update these forward- looking statements after the date of this report to reflect actual results or future events or circumstances.

Overview

Magma Design Automation provides EDA software products and related services. Our software enables chip designers
to reduce the time it takes to design and produce complex integrated circuits used in the communications, computing, consumer electronics, networking and semiconductor industries. Our products are used in all major phases of the chip development
cycle, from initial design through physical implementation. Our focus is on software used to design the most technologically advanced integrated circuits, specifically those with minimum feature sizes of 0.13 micron and smaller.

As an EDA software provider, we generate substantially all our revenue from the semiconductor and electronics industries. Our customers typically fund
purchases of our software and services out of their research and development (R&D) budgets. As a result, our revenue is heavily influenced by our customers long-term business outlook and willingness to invest in new chip
designs.

The semiconductor industry is highly volatile and cost-sensitive. Our customers focus on controlling costs and reducing risk,
lowering R&D expenditures, decreasing the number of design starts, purchasing from fewer suppliers, and requiring more favorable pricing and payment terms from suppliers. In addition, intense competition among suppliers of EDA products has
resulted in pricing pressure on EDA products.

To support our customers, we have focused on providing the most technologically advanced
products to address each step in the integrated circuit design process, as well as integrating these products into broad platforms, and expanding our product offerings. Our goal is to be the EDA technology supplier of choice for our customers as
they pursue longer-term, broader and more flexible relationships with fewer suppliers.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we
achieved quarterly revenue of $50.2 million, slightly higher than the preceding quarter and increased by 22% from the same quarter in fiscal 2007. License sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 accounted for approximately 64% of total
revenue, compared to 62% in the preceding quarter and 56% in the same quarter in the prior year.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

In preparing our financial statements, we make estimates, assumptions and judgments that can have a significant impact on our revenue,
operating income or loss and net income or loss, as well as on the value of certain assets and liabilities on our balance sheet. We believe that the estimates, assumptions and judgments involved in the accounting policies described below have the
most significant potential impact on our financial statements, so we consider these to be our critical accounting policies. We consider the following accounting policies related to revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, allowance for
doubtful accounts, strategic investments, asset purchases and business combinations, valuation of long-lived assets and income taxes to be our most critical policies due to the estimation processes involved in each.

Revenue recognition

We recognize revenue in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, as modified by SOP 98-9, which generally requires revenue earned on software arrangements involving multiple elements (such as
software products, upgrades, enhancements, maintenance, installation and training) to be allocated to each element based on the relative fair values of the elements. The fair value of an element must be based on evidence that is specific to us. If
evidence of fair value does not exist for each element of a license arrangement and maintenance is the only undelivered element, then all revenue for the license arrangement is recognized over the term of the agreement. If evidence of fair value
does exist for the elements that have not been delivered, but does not exist for one or more delivered elements, then revenue is recognized using the residual method, under which recognition of revenue for the undelivered elements is deferred and
the residual license fee is recognized as revenue immediately.

Our revenue recognition policy is detailed in Note 1 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements on Form 10-K for the year ended April 1, 2007. Management has made significant judgments related to revenue recognition. Specifically, in connection with each transaction involving our products (referred to as
an arrangement in the accounting literature) we must evaluate whether our fee is fixed or determinable and we must assess whether collectibility is probable. These judgments are discussed below.

The fee is fixed or determinable. With respect to each arrangement, we must make a judgment as to whether the arrangement fee is fixed or
determinable. If the fee is fixed or determinable, then revenue is recognized upon delivery of software (assuming other revenue recognition criteria are met). If the fee is not fixed or determinable, then the revenue recognized in each period
(subject to application of other revenue recognition criteria) will be the lesser of the aggregate of amounts due and payable or the amount of the arrangement fee that would have been recognized if the fees were being recognized ratably.

Except in cases where we grant extended payment terms to a specific customer, we have determined that our fees are fixed or determinable at the
inception of our arrangements based on the following:



| |  |  | The fee our customers pay for our products is negotiated at the outset of an arrangement and is generally based on the specific volume of products to be delivered;
and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our license fees are not a function of variable-pricing mechanisms such as the number of units distributed or copied by the customer or the expected number of users
of the product delivered.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In order for an arrangement to be considered fixed or determinable, 100% of the arrangement
fee must be due within one year or less from the order date. We have a history of collecting fees on such arrangements according to contractual terms. Arrangements with payment terms extending beyond 12 months are considered not to be fixed or
determinable.

Collectibility is probable. In order to recognize revenue, we must make a judgment about the collectibility of
the arrangement fee. Our judgment of the collectibility is applied on a customer-by-customer basis pursuant to our credit review policy. We typically sell to customers for which there is a history of successful collection. New customers are
subjected to a credit review process, which evaluates the customers financial positions and ability to pay. If it is determined from the outset of an arrangement that collectibility is not probable based upon our credit review process, revenue
is recognized on a cash receipts basis (as each payment is collected).

Licenses revenue and bundled licenses and services revenue

We derive license revenue primarily from licenses of our design and implementation software and, to a much lesser extent, from licenses of
our analysis and verification products. We license our products under time-based and perpetual licenses.

We recognize license revenue
after the execution of a license agreement and the delivery of the product to the customer, provided that there are no uncertainties surrounding the product acceptance, fees are fixed or determinable, collection is probable and there are no
remaining obligations other than maintenance. For licenses where we have vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value (VSOE) for maintenance, we recognize license revenue using the residual method. For these licenses, license revenue
is recognized in the period in which the license agreement is executed assuming all other revenue recognition criteria are met. For licenses where we have no VSOE for maintenance, we recognize license revenue ratably over the maintenance period, or
if extended payment terms exist, based on the amounts due and payable.

For transactions in which we bundle maintenance for the entire
license term into a time-based license agreement, no VSOE of fair value exists for each element of the arrangement. For these agreements, where the only undelivered element is



17



---

##### Table of Contents

maintenance, we recognize revenue ratably over the contract term. If an arrangement involves extended payment termsthat is, where payment for less than
100% of the license, services and initial post contract support is due within one year of the contract datewe recognize revenue to the extent of the lesser of the portion of the amount due and payable or the ratable portion of the entire fee.
We classify the revenue recognized from these transactions separately as bundled licenses and services revenue in our consolidated statements of operations.

For our perpetual licenses and some time-based license arrangements, we unbundle maintenance by including maintenance for up to the first period of the license term, with maintenance thereafter renewable by the
customer at the substantive rates stated in their agreements with us. In these unbundled licenses, the aggregate renewal period is greater than or equal to the initial maintenance period. The stated rate for maintenance renewal in these contracts is
VSOE of the fair value of maintenance in both our unbundled time-based and perpetual licenses. Where the only undelivered element is maintenance, we recognize license revenue using the residual method. If an arrangement involves extended payment
terms, revenue recognized using the residual method is limited to amounts due and payable.

If we were to change any of these assumptions
or judgments, it could cause a material increase or decrease in the amount of revenue that we report in a particular period. Amounts invoiced relating to arrangements where revenue cannot be recognized are reflected on our balance sheet as deferred
revenue and recognized over time as the applicable revenue recognition criteria are satisfied.

Services revenue

We derive services revenue primarily from consulting and training for our software products and from maintenance fees for our products. Most of our
license agreements include maintenance, generally for a one-year period, renewable annually. Services revenue from maintenance arrangements is recognized on a straight-line basis over the maintenance term. Because we have VSOE of fair value for
consulting and training services, revenue is recognized as these services are performed or completed. Our consulting and training services are generally not essential to the functionality of the software. Our products are fully functional upon
delivery of the product. Additional factors considered in determining whether the revenue should be accounted for separately include, but are not limited to: degree of risk, availability of services from other vendors, timing of payments and impact
of milestones or acceptance criteria on our ability to recognize the software license fee.

Stock-based compensation

Effective April 3, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment using the modified prospective transition
method. Under SFAS 123R, stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense, net of estimated forfeitures, over the vesting period of the award.

Determining the fair value of stock-based awards at the grant date requires the input of various highly subjective assumptions, including expected future
stock price volatility, expected term of instruments and expected forfeiture rates. We established the expected term for employee options and awards, as well as forfeiture rates, based on the historical settlement experience, while giving
consideration to vesting schedules and to options that have life cycles less than the contractual terms. Assumptions for option exercises and pre-vesting terminations of options were stratified for employee groups with sufficiently distinct behavior
patterns. Expected future stock price volatility was developed based on the average of our historical weekly stock price volatility and average implied volatility. These input factors are subjective and are determined using managements
judgment. If actual results differ significantly from these estimates, stock-based compensation expense and our results of operations could be materially affected.

Unbilled accounts receivable

Unbilled accounts receivable represent revenue that has been recognized in advance of
being invoiced to the customer. In all cases, the revenue and unbilled receivables are for contracts which are non-cancelable, in which there are no contingencies and where the customer has taken delivery of both the software and the encryption key
required to operate the software. We typically generate invoices 45 days in advance of contractual due dates, and we invoice the entire amount of the unbilled accounts receivable within one year from the contract inception.

Allowances for doubtful accounts

We maintain
allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We regularly review the adequacy of our accounts receivable allowance after considering the size of the accounts
receivable balance, each customers expected ability to pay and our collection history with each customer. We review significant invoices that are past due to determine if an allowance is appropriate using the factors described above. We also
monitor our accounts receivable for concentration in any one customer, industry or geographic region.

---

##### Table of Contents

As of July 1, 2007, two of our customers accounted for more than 10% of total receivables. The
allowance for doubtful accounts represents our best estimate, but changes in circumstances relating to accounts receivable may result in a requirement for additional allowances in the future. If actual losses are significantly greater than the
allowance we have established, that would increase our general and administrative expenses and reported net loss. Conversely, if actual credit losses are significantly less than our allowance, this would decrease our general and administrative
expenses and our reported net income would increase.

Accounting for asset purchases and business combinations

We are required to allocate the purchase price of acquired assets and business combinations to the tangible and intangible assets acquired, liabilities
assumed, as well as in-process research and development based on their estimated fair values. Such a valuation requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets.

Critical estimates in valuing certain of the intangible assets include but are not limited to: future expected cash flows from license sales, maintenance
agreements, consulting contracts, customer contracts, acquired workforce and acquired developed technologies and patents; expected costs to develop the in-process research and development into commercially viable products and estimated cash flows
from the projects when completed; the acquired companys brand awareness and market position, as well as assumptions about the period of time the acquired brand will continue to be used in the combined companys product portfolio; and
discount rates. Managements estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. Assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate, and unanticipated events and
circumstances may occur.

Other estimates associated with the accounting for business combinations may change as additional information
becomes available regarding the assets acquired and liabilities assumed resulting in changes in the purchase price allocation.

Goodwill impairment

SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the
reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis and between annual tests in certain circumstances. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of
reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting unit, and determining the fair value of the reporting unit. We have determined that we have one reporting unit (see Note 11 to the unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements). Significant judgments required to estimate the fair value of reporting units include estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates
and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value for the reporting units. Any impairment losses recorded in the future could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Valuation of intangibles and long-lived assets

SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, requires that we record an impairment charge on finite-lived intangibles or long-lived assets to be held and used when we determine that the
carrying value of intangible assets and long-lived assets may not be recoverable. If one or more indicators of impairment exist, we will measure any impairment of intangibles or long-lived assets based on a projected discounted cash flow method
using a discount rate determined by our management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in our business model. Our estimates of cash flows require significant judgment based on our historical results and anticipated results and are subject to
many factors.

Income taxes

We
account for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Significant judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes. In the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions
and calculations where the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain. The amount of income taxes we pay could be subject to audits by federal, state, and foreign tax authorities, which could result in proposed assessments. Although we believe that our
estimates are reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final outcome of these tax matters will not be different than that which is reflected in our historical income tax provisions.

We assess the likelihood that our net deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the extent we believe that recovery is not
likely, we establish a valuation allowance. We consider all available positive and negative

evidence including our past operating results, the existence of cumulative losses in the most recent fiscal years, future taxable income, and ongoing prudent
and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the amount of the valuation allowance. We will continue to evaluate the realizability of the deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis. Future reversals or increases to our valuation allowance could
have a significant impact on our future earnings.

On April 2, 2007, we adopted FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes  An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. Under FIN 48, we are required to apply the more likely than not threshold to the recognition and derecognition of tax positions. FIN 48 also provides guidance on the
measurement of tax positions, balance sheet classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, we recognized a $0.5 million increase to liabilities for
uncertain tax positions, which was accounted for as an adjustment to the April 2, 2007 balance of accumulated deficit. At April 2, 2007, we had approximately $10.4 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits, $3.5 million of which, if
recognized, would favorably affect our effective tax rate in future periods.

Strategic investments in privately-held companies

Our strategic equity investments consist of preferred stock and convertible notes that are convertible into preferred or common stock of several
privately-held companies. As of July 1, 2007, $0.6 million of these notes has been converted into an investee companys preferred stock. The carrying value of our portfolio of strategic equity investments in non-marketable equity
securities (privately-held companies) and convertible notes totaled $1.1 million at July 1, 2007. Our ability to recover our investments in private, non-marketable equity securities and convertible notes and to earn a return on these
investments is primarily dependent on how successfully these companies are able to execute on their business plans and how well their products are accepted, as well as their ability to obtain additional capital funding to continue operations.

Under our accounting policy, the carrying value of a non-marketable investment is the amount paid for the investment unless it has been
determined to be other than temporarily impaired, in which case we write the investment down to its estimated fair value. For equity investments where our ownership interest is between 20% to 50%, we record our share of net equity income (loss) of
the investee based on our proportionate ownership. We review all of our investments periodically for impairment; however, for non-marketable equity securities, the fair value analysis requires significant judgment. This analysis includes assessment
of each investees financial condition, the business outlook for its products and technology, its projected results and cash flows, the likelihood of obtaining subsequent rounds of financing and the impact of any relevant contractual equity
preferences held by us or others. If an investee obtains additional funding at a valuation lower than our carrying amount, we presume that the investment is other than temporarily impaired, unless specific facts and circumstances indicate otherwise,
such as when we hold contractual rights that give us a preference over the rights of other investors. As the equity markets have experienced volatility over the past few years, we have experienced substantial impairments in our portfolio of
non-marketable equity securities. If certain equity market conditions do not improve, as companies within our portfolio attempt to raise additional funds, the funds may not be available to them, or they may receive lower valuations, with more
onerous investment terms than in previous financings, and the investments will likely become impaired. However, we are not able to determine at the present time which specific investments are likely to be impaired in the future, or the extent
or timing of individual impairments. We recorded impairment charges related to these non-marketable equity investments of $0.2 million each for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and 2007.

Results of Operations

Revenue

Revenue is comprised of licenses revenue, bundled licenses and services revenue, and services revenue. Licenses revenue consists of fees for time-based
or perpetual licenses of our software products. Bundled licenses and services revenue consists of fees for software licenses and post-contract customer support (PCS), where we do not have VSOE of fair value of PCS. Services revenue
consists of fees for services, such as customer training, consulting and PCS associated with unbundled license arrangements. We recognize revenue based on the specific terms and conditions of the license contracts with our customer for our products
and services as described in detail above in our Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates. For management reporting and analysis purposes we classify our revenue into the following four categories:



| |  |  | Ratable
| | - |  | -------



| |  |  | Due & Payable
| | - |  | -------------



| |  |  | Cash Receipts
| | - |  | -------------



| |  |  | Up-Front / Perpetual or Time-Based
| | - |  | ----------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

We classify our license arrangements as either bundled or unbundled. Bundled license contracts include
maintenance with the license fee and do not include optional maintenance periods. Unbundled license contracts have separate maintenance fees and include optional maintenance periods.

We use this classification of license revenue to provide greater insight into the reporting and monitoring of trends in the components of our revenue and
to assist us in managing our business. It is important to note that the characterization of an individual contract may change over time. For example, a contract originally characterized as Ratable may be redefined as Cash Receipts if that customer
has difficulty in making payments in a timely fashion. In cases where a contract has been re-characterized for management reporting purposes, prior periods are not restated to reflect that change. The following table shows the breakdown of license
revenue by category as defined for management reporting and analysis purposes (in thousands, except for percentage data):

Ratable. For bundled time-based licenses, we recognize license revenue ratably over the contract term, or as customer payments become due and
payable, if less. The revenue for these bundled arrangements for both license and maintenance is classified as bundled licenses and services revenue in our statement of operations. For unbundled time-based licenses with a term of less than 15
months, we recognize license revenue ratably over the license term. For management reporting and analysis purposes, we refer to both these types of licenses generally as Ratable and we generally refer to all time-based licenses
recognized on a ratable basis as Long-Term, independent of the actual length of term of the license.

We classify unbundled
perpetual or time-based licenses with a term of fifteen months or greater based on the payment term structure, as Due and Payable, Cash Receipts or Up-Front:

Due and Payable/Time-Based licenses with long-term payments. For unbundled time-based licenses where the payment terms extend greater than one
year from the arrangement effective date, we recognize license revenue on a due and payable basis and we recognize maintenance and services revenue ratably over the maintenance term. For management reporting and analysis purposes, we refer to this
type of license generally as Due and Payable/Long-Term Time-Based Licenses.

Cash Receipts. We recognize revenue
from customers who have not met our predetermined credit criteria on a cash receipts basis to the extent that revenue has otherwise been earned. Such customers generally order short-term time based licenses or separate annual maintenance. We
recognize license revenue as we receive cash payments from these customers. Maintenance is recognized ratably over the maintenance term as we received cash payments from these customers. For management reporting and analysis purposes, we refer to
this type of license revenue as Cash Receipts.

Up-Front/Perpetual license or Time-Based licenses with short-term
payments. For unbundled time-based and perpetual licenses, we recognize license revenue upon shipment if the payment terms require the customer to pay 100% of the license fee and the initial period of PCS within one year from the agreement
date and payments are generally linear. We recognize maintenance revenue ratably over the maintenance term. In all of these cases, the contracts are non-cancelable, and the customer has taken delivery of both the software and the encryption key
required to operate the software. For management reporting and analysis purposes, we refer to this type of license generally as Up-Front, where the license is either perpetual or time-based.

##### Table of Contents

Our license revenue in any given quarter depends upon the mix and volume of perpetual or short-term
licenses ordered during the quarter and the amount of long-term ratable or due and payable, and cash receipts license revenue recognized during the quarter. In general, we refer to license revenue recognized from perpetual or time-based licenses
during the quarter as Up-Front revenue, for management reporting and analysis purposes. All other types of revenue are generally referred to as revenue from backlog. We set our revenue targets for any given period based, in part, upon an
assumption that we will achieve a certain level of orders and a certain mix of short-term licenses. The precise mix of orders fluctuates substantially from period to period and affects the revenue we recognize in the period. If we achieve our target
level of total orders but are unable to achieve our target license mix, we may not meet our revenue targets (if we have more-than-expected long-term licenses) or may exceed them (if we have more-than-expected short-term or perpetual licenses). If we
achieve the target license mix but the overall level of orders is below the target level, then we may not meet our revenue targets as described in the risk factors in Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q.

Revenue



| |  |  | Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 was $50.2 million, up 22% from the same quarter in the prior year.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Licenses revenue increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the same quarter in the prior year primarily due to large orders executed during
the first quarter of fiscal 2008 in Asia-Pacific, Europe and Japan. These orders came from new and existing customers who extended license periods and added license capacity due

| | to the continued proliferation of existing and new Magma products among their design group designers. We do not factor any of our receivables to obtain
revenue. Two customers each accounted for greater than 10% of total revenue for both the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and 2007. Licenses revenue increased as a percentage of total revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the same
quarter in the prior year.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Bundled licenses and services revenue decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the same quarter in the prior year primarily driven by a
shift of new orders from a few of the Companys customers to the unbundled licensed revenue category. Bundled licenses and services revenue decreased in all regions except Asia-Pacific. Bundled licenses and services revenue orders came from
existing customers who extended license periods and added license capacity due to the continued proliferation of existing and new Magma products among their design group designers. Bundled licenses and services revenue decreased as a percentage of
total revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the same quarter in the prior year.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Services revenue increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the same quarter in the prior year. This was due to a $1.1 million increase in
maintenance revenue and $1.0 million in services and training revenue. The increase in maintenance revenue was primarily due to our growth in customer base. Services revenue as a percentage of total revenue increased in the first quarter of fiscal
2008 compared to the same quarter in the prior year.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Domestic revenuedecreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the same quarter in the prior year primarily due to a decrease in licenses revenue
from existing customers of $4.8 million, partially offset by an increase in maintenance and services revenue of $0.6 million. Domestic revenue as a percentage of total revenue decreased by 21% in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the same
quarter in the prior year.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | International revenue increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the same quarter in the prior year primarily due to an increase in purchases
from new and existing customers in Asia-Pacific, Europe and Japan. International revenue as a percentage of total revenue increased by 21% in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the same quarter in the prior year.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cost of Revenue



| |  |  | Cost of licenses revenue primarily consists of amortization of acquired developed technology and other intangible assets, software maintenance costs,
royalties and allocated outside sales representative expenses. Cost of license revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 remained at approximately the same level as the same quarter in the prior year. Amortization charges related to existing
intangible assets decreased due primarily to a major acquired technology license which was fully amortized as of the beginning of fiscal 2008. The decrease was mostly offset by increases in amortization charges related to intangible assets acquired
subsequent to the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and increases in costs allocated to cost of bundled licenses and services revenue.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Cost of bundled licenses and services revenue primarily consists of allocation of costs from cost of licenses and services. Cost of bundled licenses and
services revenue decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the same quarter in the prior year primarily due to decreases in bundled licenses and services revenue in fiscal 2008 compared to fiscal 2007.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Cost of services revenue primarily consists of personnel and related costs to provide product support, training and consulting services. Cost of services
revenue also includes stock-based compensation expenses, asset depreciation and allocated outside sales representative expenses. Cost of service revenue increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the same quarter in the prior year
primarily due to increases in payroll related costs and stock-based compensation expenses for application engineers that corresponded to higher consulting and maintenance activities in fiscal 2008 compared to fiscal 2007.

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | Research and development expense increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the same quarter in the prior year. The increase was due to
increases in payroll related expenses of $1.9 million, higher allocated common expenses, such as information technology and facility related expenses, of $0.7 million and increases in other individually insignificant items such as professional fees
and travel expenses. The increase in payroll related expenses was primarily due to increases in the number of employees and annual salary increases. At the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2008, the number of our research and development employees
increased by 47% through direct hiring and acquisitions compared to the same fiscal 2007 period. We expect our quarterly research and development expenses in each of the remaining three quarters of fiscal 2008 to increase moderately but will
decrease as a percentage of total revenue. Moderate growth in the number of our research and development employees will be the primary factor driving up both fixed and variable compensation levels.

| |  |  | Sales and marketing expense increased in the first quarter of 2008 compared to the comparable prior fiscal year quarter primarily due to an increase in
payroll related expenses of $2.1 million, an increase in commission expense of $0.3 million, an increase in travel expense of $0.5 million and increases in other individually insignificant items such as professional services and marketing
communications. The increases were partially offset by a $0.5 million increase in expenses allocated to cost of services revenue (primarily application engineering costs). The increases in payroll related charges were primarily due to increases in
the number of employees and annual salary increases. At the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2008, the number of employees in sales and marketing increased by 22% over the comparable fiscal 2007 period primarily due to growth in the number of
application engineer employees. We expect marketing expense to decrease in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2008, primarily due to higher marketing expense incurred during the first quarter of
fiscal 2008 relating to our annual industry tradeshow, the Design Automation Conference, or DAC. We expect that our quarterly sales and marketing expenses in the third and fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 to increase
moderately compared to the estimated expense for the second quarter, but will decrease as a percentage of total revenue. Moderate growth in number of our sales and marketing employees will be the primary factor driving up both fixed and
variable compensation levels.

| |  |  | General and administrative expense decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the same quarter in the prior year primarily due to a decrease
of $4.2 million in legal fees related to patent litigation with Synopsys and an increase of $1.0 million in allocated cost to other functional areas due to higher common expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the same quarter of
fiscal 2007. The decreases were partially offset by increases in office and facility related expenses of $0.7 million, payroll related expenses of $0.4 million and other professional fees of $0.2 million. We expect that our quarterly general
and administrative expenses in each of the remaining three quarters of fiscal 2008 will remain at levels comparable with the amount in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and will decrease as a percentage of total revenue.

| |  |  | Amortization of intangible assets decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the same quarter in fiscal 2007 primarily due to several existing
developed technologies and patents have been fully amortized as of the beginning of fiscal 2008.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Restructuring charges of $0.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 represented employee termination charges resulting from our realignment to current
business conditions. No such charge was incurred in fiscal 2007.

| |  |  | Interest income decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the same quarter in fiscal 2007 primarily due to our lower cash and investments
balance resulting from our use of cash in operations, to acquire intangible assets and to repurchase a portion of our 2008 Notes. The decrease was partially offset by higher interest rates on our cash and investments balance during the period.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Interest expense increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the same quarter in fiscal 2007 primarily due to an addition of $414,000 expense
related to debt discount amortization and the 2% interest payment on the 2010 Notes. The 2010 Notes offering was completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. The remainder of the fluctuation in interest expense was accounted for by other
individually insignificant items, such as amortization of debt issuance costs related to the 2008 and 2010 Notes, and interest expenses on the line of credit and capital leases.

| |  |  | Gain on extinguishment of debt in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 consisted primarily of a $4.8 million gain on repurchases of a portion of the 2008 Notes.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Other expense, net increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the same quarter in fiscal 2007 primarily due to a $0.6 million negative change
in foreign exchange gain/loss in fiscal 2008 period. The negative change in foreign exchange gain/loss was caused by an unfavorable exchange rate fluctuation between the U.S. Dollar and the Japanese Yen.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Provision for income taxes increased by $0.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the same quarter in fiscal 2007. The increase was
primarily due to an increase in tax provisions for taxes in foreign tax jurisdictions and for federal and state taxes on income from our business operations. The income tax expenses for the discrete items for the three months ended July 1, 2007
was immaterial. The income tax expense of $0.9 million for the three months ended July 2, 2006 consisted primarily of federal and state taxes provided for certain discrete items, such as gain on extinguishment of debt, impairment of equity
investments and cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, as well as the federal, state, and foreign taxes provided for the income from our business operations. The Companys effective tax rates vary from the U.S. statutory rate
primarily due to changes in its valuation allowance, state taxes, foreign income taxed at other than U.S. rates, stock compensation expense, research and development credits and foreign withholding taxes.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company is in a net deferred tax asset position, for which a full valuation allowance has been recorded. The Company will continue to provide a
valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets until it becomes more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realizable. The Company will continue to evaluate the realizability of the deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis.

In the event of a future change in ownership, as defined under federal and state tax laws, the Companys net operating loss and tax
credit carryforwards may be subject to an annual limitation. The annual limitations may result in an increase to the Companys current income tax provision and/or the expiration of the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards before
realization.

Our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, excluding restricted cash, were
approximately $34.9 million on July 1, 2007, a decrease of $10.4 million or 23% from April 1, 2007. The decrease primarily reflected cash used in operations, including the payments related to the Synopsys litigation settlement, legal fees
and annual employee bonuses, and for purchases of intangible assets and capital investments. These decreases were partially offset by proceeds from sale of short-term investments and issuance of common stock. As of July 1, 2007, we had a zero
balance of short-term investments.

We hold our cash and cash equivalents in the United States and in foreign accounts, primarily in the
Netherlands and Japan. As of July 1, 2007, we held an aggregate of $20.1 million in cash and cash equivalents in the United States and an aggregate of $14.8 million in foreign accounts.

Net cash used in operating activities

Net
cash used in operating activities increased by $18.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the same quarter in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to a $21.8 million increase in payments on accounts payable and
accrued liabilities balances, a $5.4 million increase in costs and expenses and a $0.5 million decrease in cash from interest income. These decreases in cash flow were partially offset by a $7.9 million increase in cash from customers in the fiscal
2008 period. The increase in cash from customers was primarily due to growth in revenue and strong cash collection in the fiscal 2008 period. The aggregated balance of accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased by $24.5 million and $2.7
million, respectively, in the fiscal 2008 period and the fiscal 2007 period. The decrease in accrued liabilities balances in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 was primarily due to payments on the Synopsys litigation settlement, legal fees and annual
employee bonuses.

Net cash provided by investing activities

Net cash provided by investing activities decreased by $11.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the same quarter in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to a $14.0 million decrease in
net proceeds from sales of short-term investments and a $2.1 million increase in purchases of property and equipment, partially offset by a $4.2 million decrease in purchases of intangible assets and equity investments. We expect to make capital
expenditures of approximately $6.1 million during the remainder of fiscal 2008. These capital expenditures will be used to support selling, marketing and product development activities. We will use capital lease financing as well as our cash and
cash equivalents to fund these purchases. In addition, we may make earnout payments related to prior acquisitions and acquire additional technologies and strategic equity investments in the future using our cash and cash equivalents.

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $42.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the same quarter in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to a $7.4 million increase in cash received from the
exercise of stock options and shares purchased under the employee stock purchase plan. In addition, we used $35.0 million to repurchase a portion of our 2008 Notes in the first quarter of fiscal 2007, which was absent for the first quarter of fiscal
2008. The increases were slightly offset by a $0.3 million increase in payments of capital lease obligations in the first quarter of fiscal 2008.

Capital resources

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to repay the 2008 Notes
of $15.2 million which is due in May 2008 and to meet our anticipated operating and working capital expenditure requirements in the ordinary course of business for at least the next 12 months. If we require additional capital resources to grow our
business internally or to acquire complementary technologies and businesses at any time in the future, we may use cash or need to sell additional equity or debt securities. The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities may result in
more dilution to our existing stockholders. Financing arrangements may not be available to us, or may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us.

Our acquisition agreements related to certain business combination and asset purchase transactions obligate us to pay certain contingent cash consideration based on meeting certain financial or project milestones and
continued employment of certain employees. The total amount of cash contingent consideration that could be paid under our acquisition agreements, assuming all contingencies are met, was $43.3 million as of July 1, 2007. These contingent
consideration obligations are not

expected to affect our estimate that our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to repay the 2008 Notes of $15.2 million which is due in May
2008 and to meet our anticipated operating and working capital expenditure requirements in the ordinary course of business for at least the next 12 months.

Contractual obligations

As of July 1, 2007, there were no material changes in our
reported payments due under contractual obligations as of April 1, 2007. Our principal contractual obligations consisted of operating lease commitments, with an aggregated future amount of $18.8 million through fiscal 2013 for office
facilities, repayments of the convertible notes of $15.2 million due in May 2008 and $49.9 million due in May 2010, and borrowings of $3.0 million under our revolving line of credit facility. Although we have no material commitments for capital
expenditures, we anticipate a substantial increase in our capital expenditures and lease commitments with our anticipated growth in operations, infrastructure, and personnel. In addition, we have other obligations for goods and services entered into
in the normal course of business. These obligations, however, either are not enforceable or legally binding or are subject to change based on our business decisions.

Income taxes

As of July 1, 2007, our unrecognized tax benefits amounted to $11.1 million
and were included in our long-term tax liabilities on our unaudited condensed balance sheets. We are not able to estimate the amount or timing of any cash payments required to settle these liabilities, however we do not anticipate the settlement of
the liabilities will require payment of cash within the next twelve months and do not believe that the ultimate settlement of these obligations will materially affect our liquidity.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

As of July 1, 2007, we did not have any significant off-balance-sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

Indemnification Obligations

We enter into standard license agreements in the ordinary course
of business. Pursuant to these agreements, we agree to indemnify our customers for losses suffered or incurred by them as a result of any patent, copyright, or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third party with respect to our
products. These indemnification obligations have perpetual terms. Our normal business practice is to limit the maximum amount of indemnification to the amount received from the customer. On occasion, the maximum amount of indemnification we may be
required to make may exceed its normal business practices. We estimate the fair value of our indemnification obligations as insignificant, based on our historical experience concerning product and patent infringement claims. Accordingly, we have no
liabilities recorded for indemnification under these agreements as of July 1, 2007.

We have agreements whereby our officers and
directors are indemnified for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving at our request in such capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification
agreements is unlimited; however, we have a directors and officers insurance policy that reduces our exposure and enables us to recover a portion of future amounts paid. As a result of our insurance policy coverage, we believe the estimated fair
value of these indemnification agreements is minimal. Accordingly, no liabilities have been recorded for these agreements as of July 1, 2007.

In connection with recent business acquisitions, we agreed to assume, or cause our subsidiaries to assume, indemnification obligations to the officers and directors of acquired companies.

Warranties

We offer our
customers a warranty that our products will conform to the documentation provided with the products. To date, there have been no payments or material costs incurred related to fulfilling these warranty obligations. Accordingly, we have no
liabilities recorded for these warranties as of July 1, 2007. We assess the need for a warranty accrual on a quarterly basis, and there can be no guarantee that a warranty accrual will not become necessary in the future.



|ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
|------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment portfolio.
The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while maximizing yields without significantly increasing risk.



27



---

##### Table of Contents

This is accomplished by investing in widely diversified short-term and long-term investments, consisting primarily of investment grade securities. As of
July 1, 2007, we had zero balance of short-term and long-term investments. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in approximately a $2,000 decline in the fair value of our cash equivalents.

The fair value of our fixed rate long-term debt is sensitive to interest rate changes. Interest rate changes would result in increases or decreases in
the fair value of our debt, due to differences between market interest rates and rates in effect at the inception of our debt obligation. Changes in the fair value of our fixed rate debt have no impact on our cash flows or consolidated financial
statements.

Credit Risk

We completed
an offering on May 22, 2003 of $150.0 million principal amount of the 2008 Notes. Concurrent with the issuance of the 2008 Notes, we entered into convertible bond hedge and warrant transactions with respect to our common stock, the exposure for
which is held by Credit Suisse First Boston International. Both the bond hedge and warrant transactions may be settled at our option either in cash or net shares and expire on May 15, 2008. The transactions are expected to reduce the potential
dilution from conversion of the 2008 Notes. Subject to the movement in the share price of our common stock, we could be exposed to credit risk in the settlement of these options in our favor. Based on a review of the possible net settlements and the
credit strength of Credit Suisse First Boston International and its affiliates, we believe that we do not have a material exposure to credit risk arising from these option transactions.

In May 2006 and May 2005, we repurchased $40.3 million and $44.5 million, respectively, face value of our 2008 Notes for $35.0 million and $34.8 million,
respectively. In doing so, we liquidated investments that generated a realized loss of approximately $0.7 million related to the May 2005 repurchases. There were no significant losses realized in connection with the May 2006 repurchases. Certain
portions of the hedge and warrant transactions entered into by us in 2003 were terminated in connection with the repurchases. We believe that it was in the best interests of the stockholders to reduce the balance sheet debt despite the one-time loss
resulting from the liquidation of marketable securities.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

A majority of our revenue, expense, and capital purchasing activities are transacted in U.S. dollars. However, we transact some portions of our business
in various foreign currencies, primarily related to a portion of revenue in Japan and operating expenses in Europe, Japan and Asia-Pacific. Accordingly, we are subject to exposure from adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. As of
July 1, 2007, we had approximately $8.2 million of cash and money market funds in foreign currencies. At this time, we are not hedging the effect of foreign currency fluctuations on our operating results using derivative financial instruments.
We assess the need to utilize financial instruments to hedge currency exposures on an ongoing basis.



|ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|------- | -----------------------

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and
Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the
time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control or to our knowledge, in
other factors that could significantly affect our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION



|ITEM 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
|------- | -----------------

We are subject to certain legal
proceedings described below and from time to time, we are also involved in other disputes that arise in the ordinary course of business. The number and significance of these litigation proceedings and disputes are increasing as our business expands
and we grow larger. Any claims against us, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, require significant amounts of management time and result in the diversion of significant operational resources. As a
result, these litigation proceedings and disputes could harm our business and have an adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements. However, the results of any litigation or dispute are inherently uncertain and, at this time, no estimate
could be made of the loss or range of loss, if any, from these litigation matters and disputes. Accordingly, we have not recorded any liabilities relating to these contingencies as of July 1, 2007. Litigation settlement and legal fees are
expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

On June 13, 2005, a putative shareholder class action lawsuit captioned The
Cornelia I. Crowell GST Trust vs. Magma Design Automation, Inc., Rajeev Madhavan, Gregory C. Walker and Roy E. Jewell., No. C 05 02394, was filed in U.S. District Court, Northern District of California. The complaint alleges that defendants
failed to disclose information regarding the risk of Magma infringing intellectual property rights of Synopsys, Inc., in violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and prays for unspecified
damages. In March 2006, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint. Plaintiff filed a further amended complaint in June 2006, which defendants again moved to dismiss. Defendants motion was granted in part and
denied in part by an order dated August 18, 2006, which dismissed claims against two of the individual defendants. The case is now proceeding on the remaining claims and is scheduled for trial on December 3, 2008. This case was also
discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 1, 2007.

On July 26, 2005, a putative derivative
complaint captioned Susan Willis v. Magma Design Automation, Inc. et al., No. 1-05-CV-045834, was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Santa Clara. The Complaint seeks unspecified damages purportedly
on behalf of us for alleged breaches of fiduciary duties by various directors and officers, as well as for alleged violations of insider trading laws by executives during a period between October 23, 2002 and April 12, 2005. Defendants
have demurred to the Complaint, and the action has been stayed pending further developments in the putative shareholder class action referenced above. This case was also discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
April 1, 2007.

Narpat Bhandari v. Magma Design Automation, Inc. Cadence Design Systems, Inc., Dynalith Systems, Inc., Altera
Corp., Mentor Graphics, Corp. and Aldec, Inc., Case No. 6:06-CV-480, United States District Court, Eastern District of Texas, Tyler Division. On November 8, 2006, a complaint was filed alleging that we and several other named
defendants infringe United States Patent No. 5,663,900. The complaint identifies our FineSim software, and other unidentified devices or programs, as the products accused of infringement. We and the other Defendants moved to dismiss the
complaint on the basis that the only named plaintiff, Bhandari, does not own the 900 Patent. On May 11, 2007, the Court issued a Memorandum Opinion and Order granting the motion to dismiss and dismissed the case without prejudice. This
case was also discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 1, 2007.

Cadence Design Systems, Inc.,
Magma Design Automation, Inc., Altera Corp., and Mentor Graphics, Corp. v. Narpat Bhandari and Vanguard Systems, Inc., Case No. C 07-00823, United States District Court, Northern District of California, San Francisco Division. Magma and the
other named plaintiffs filed a complaint for declaratory judgment on February 8, 2007, which we amended on March 27, 2007. The amended complaint for declaratory judgment seeks five claims of relief: (1) declaratory judgment of
non-infringement of the 900 Patent; (2) declaratory judgment of invalidity of the 900 Patent; (3) lack of ownership of the 900 Patent; (4) the 900 Patent is unenforceable due to laches; and (5) declaratory
judgment that unclean bars enforcement of the 900 Patent. We and the other Plaintiffs contend that LSI Logic is a joint owner of the 900 Patent and we have obtained a license from LSI. On April 6, 2007, Defendants Narpat Bhandari
and Vanguard Systems, Inc. answered the amended complaint and filed a counterclaim of patent infringement of the 900 Patent. As in the Texas Action, the claim for patent infringement against us identified our FineSim software, and other
unidentified devices or programs, as the products accused of infringement. The counterclaim seeks unspecified monetary damages, pre- and post-judgment interest, attorneys fees, and costs. The Court conducted a case management conference on
May 21, 2007 and issued a case management order on May 23, 2007 approving Plaintiffs and Defendants proposal to bifurcate the issue of LSIs ownership from all other remaining issues and stay activities relating to
validity, enforceability, infringement, and damages until after a bench trial to resolve the ownership issue. A trial to the Court on the issue of ownership of the 900 Patent is set for October 9, 2007. While we intend to vigorously
pursue this litigation against Bhandari and Vanguard Systems, the results of any litigation are inherently uncertain and we can not assure that we will be able to successfully defend against claims of patent infringement. We are currently unable to
assess the extent of damages and/or other relief, if any, that could be awarded. We intend to vigorously defend against the claims asserted by Bhandari and Vanguard Systems. However, the results of any litigation are inherently uncertain and we can

|ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS
|-------- | ------------

A restated description of the risk
factors associated with our business is set forth below. This description includes any material changes to and supersedes the description of the risk factors associated with our business previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 1, 2007.

Our business faces many risks. The risks described below may not
be the only risks we face. Additional risks that we do not yet know of or that we currently think are immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of the events or circumstances described in the following risk factors actually occur,
our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer, and the trading price of our common stock could decline.

Our limited
operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our business and prospects.

We were incorporated in April 1997 and introduced our
first major software product, Blast Fusion, in April 1999. We have a limited history of generating revenue from our software products, and the revenue and income potential of our business and market is still unproven. As a result of our short
operating history, we have limited financial data that can be used to evaluate our business. We have only been profitable in fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2004. Our software products represent a new approach to the challenges presented in the electronic
design automation market, which to date has been dominated by established companies with longer operating histories. Key markets within the electronic design automation industry may fail to adopt our proprietary technologies and use our software
products. Any evaluation of our business and our prospects must be considered in light of our limited operating history and the risks and uncertainties often encountered by relatively young companies.

We have a history of losses, except for fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2004, and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $209.7 million as of July 1, 2007. If we
continue to incur losses, the trading price of our stock would likely decline.

We had an accumulated deficit of approximately $209.7
million as of July 1, 2007. Except for fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2004, we incurred losses in all other fiscal years. If we continue to incur losses, or if we fail to achieve profitability at levels expected by securities analysts or investors, the
market price of our common stock is likely to decline. If we continue to incur losses, we may not be able to maintain or increase our number of employees or our investment in capital equipment, sales, marketing, and research and development
programs. Further, we may not be able to continue to operate.

Our quarterly results are difficult to predict, and if we fail to reach certain quarterly
financial expectations, our stock price is likely to decline.

Our quarterly revenue and operating results fluctuate from quarter to
quarter and are difficult to predict. It is likely that our operating results in some periods will be below investor expectations. If this happens, the market price of our common stock is likely to decline. Fluctuations in our future quarterly
operating results may be caused by many factors, including:



| |  |  | size and timing of customer orders, which are received unevenly and unpredictably throughout a fiscal year;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the mix of products licensed and types of license agreements;

| |  |  | higher than anticipated costs in connection with litigation;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | timing of customer license payments;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------



| |  |  | the relative mix of time-based licenses bundled with maintenance, unbundled time-based license agreements and perpetual license agreements, each of which has
different revenue recognition practices;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | size and timing of revenue recognized in advance of actual customer billings and customers with graduated payment schedules which may result in higher accounts
receivable balances and days sales outstanding (DSO);

We have faced lawsuits brought by Synopsys, Inc. related to patent infringement and other claims, and we may face additional intellectual property infringement claims or other litigation. Lawsuits can be costly to
defend, can take the time of our management and employees away from day-to-day operations, and could result in our losing important rights and paying significant damages.

Synopsys previously filed various suits, including an action for patent infringement, against us. In addition, a putative shareholder class action lawsuit
and a putative derivative lawsuit have been filed against us. All claims brought against us by Synopsys have been fully resolved by a settlement and a license under the asserted patents, although other similar litigation involving Synopsys or other
parties may follow (subject, in the case of Synopsys, to the terms of the settlement agreement with Synopsys pursuant to which we and Synopsys agreed not to initiate future patent litigation against each other for a period of two years commencing on
March 29, 2007 provided certain terms are met). In the future Synopsys or other parties may assert intellectual property infringement claims against us or our customers (subject, in the case of Synopsys, to the terms of our settlement agreement
with Synopsys). We may have acquired or may in the future acquire software as a result of our acquisitions, and we could be subject to claims that such software infringes the intellectual property rights of third parties. We also license technology
from certain third parties and could be subject to claims if the software which we license is deemed to infringe the rights of others. In addition, we are often involved in or threatened with commercial litigation unrelated to intellectual property
infringement claims such as labor litigation and contract claims, and we may acquire companies that are actively engaged in such litigation.

Our products may be found to infringe intellectual property rights of third parties, including third-party patents. In addition, many of our contracts contain provisions in which we agree to indemnify our customers from third-party
intellectual property infringement claims that are brought against them based on their use of our products. Also, we may be unaware of filed patent applications that relate to our software products. We believe that the patent portfolios of our
competitors generally are far larger than ours. This disparity between our patent portfolio and the patent portfolios of our competitors may increase the risk that they may sue us for patent infringement and may limit our ability to counterclaim for
patent infringement or settle through patent cross-licenses.

The outcome of intellectual property litigation and other types of
litigation, could be, in the case of intellectual property litigation, our loss of critical proprietary rights and, in the case of intellectual property litigation and other types of litigation, unexpected operating costs and substantial monetary
damages. Intellectual property litigation and other types of litigation are expensive and time-consuming and could divert our managements attention from our business. If there is a successful claim against us for infringement, we may be
ordered to pay substantial monetary damages (including punitive damages), we may be prevented from distributing all or some of our products, and we may be required to develop non-infringing technology or enter into royalty or license agreements,
which may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. Our failure to develop non-infringing technologies or license the proprietary rights on a timely basis would harm our business.

Publicly announced developments in our litigation matters may cause our stock price to decline sharply and suddenly. Other factors may reduce the market
price of our common stock, and we are subject to ongoing risks of securities class action litigation related to volatility in the market price for our common stocks.

We may not be successful in defending some or all claims that may be brought against us. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can result in substantial expense and could divert the efforts of our management and
technical personnel from our business. In addition, the ultimate resolution of the lawsuits could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows, and harm our ability to execute our business plan.

The price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly, which may make it difficult for our stockholders to resell
our stock at attractive prices.

Our common stock trades on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol LAVA. There have been
previous quarters in which we have experienced shortfalls in revenue and earnings from levels expected by securities analysts and investors, which have had an immediate and significant adverse effect on the trading price of our common stock.
Furthermore, the price of our common stock has fluctuated significantly in light of the recent litigation with Synopsys.

In March, 2007,
we completed exchanges, whereby certain holders of approximately $49.9 million in aggregate principal amount of our Zero Coupon Convertible Subordinated Notes due May 15, 2008 (the 2008 Notes) agreed to exchange their 2008 Notes for
an equal aggregate principal amount of 2% Convertible Senior Notes due May 15, 2010 (the 2010 Notes). The 2010 Notes were initially convertible into 3,329,267 shares of our common stock. Approximately $15.2 million aggregate
principal amount of the 2008 Notes remain outstanding, which is convertible into 664,916 shares of our common stock. Upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, the number of shares of our common stock that are issuable upon conversion of the
2010 Notes may be increased by up to an additional 1,098,658 shares of our common stock. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market following this note exchange, or any conversion of the 2010 Notes into shares
of our common stock or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline and could increase the fluctuations in our stock price.

The market price of our stock is subject to significant fluctuations in response to the risk factors set forth in this Item 1A., many of which are
beyond our control. Such fluctuations, as well as economic conditions generally, may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

In addition, the stock market in recent years has experienced extreme price and trading volume fluctuations that often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of individual companies. These broad market
fluctuations may adversely affect the price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance.

We may not be able to hire and/or retain the
number of qualified personnel required for our business, particularly engineering personnel, which would harm the development and sales of our products and limit our ability to grow.

Competition in our industry for senior management, technical, sales, marketing and other key personnel is intense. If we are unable to retain our existing
personnel, or attract and train additional qualified personnel, our growth may be limited due to a lack of capacity to develop and market our products.

In particular, we continue to experience difficulty in hiring and retaining skilled engineers with appropriate qualifications to support our growth strategy. Our success depends on our ability to identify, hire, train
and retain qualified engineering personnel with experience in integrated circuit design. Specifically, we need to continue to attract and retain field application engineers to work with our direct sales force to technically qualify new sales
opportunities and perform design work to demonstrate our products capabilities to customers during the benchmark evaluation process. Competition for qualified engineers is intense, particularly in the Silicon Valley area where our headquarters
is located.

Furthermore, in light of our adopting SFAS 123R in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2007, we changed our employee
compensation practices, and those changes could make it harder for us to retain existing employees and attract qualified candidates. If we lose the services of a significant number of our employees and/or if we cannot hire additional employees of
the same caliber, we will be unable to increase our sales or implement or maintain our growth strategy.

Our success is highly dependent on the
technical, sales, marketing and managerial contributions of key individuals who we may be unable to recruit and retain.

We depend on
our senior executives and certain key research and development and sales and marketing personnel, who are critical to our business. We do not have long-term employment agreements with our key employees, and we do not maintain any key person life
insurance policies. Furthermore, our larger competitors may be able to offer more generous compensation packages to executives and key employees, and therefore we risk losing key personnel to those competitors. If we lose the services of any of our
key personnel, our product development processes and sales efforts could be slowed. We may also incur increased operating expenses and be required to divert the attention of our senior executives to search for their replacements. The integration of
our new executives or any new personnel could disrupt our ongoing operations.

Customer payment defaults may cause us to be unable to recognize revenue from backlog, and changes in the type of
orders comprising backlog could affect the proportion of revenue recognized from backlog each quarter, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

A portion of our revenue backlog is variable based on volume of usage of our products by the customers or includes specific future deliverables or is
recognized in revenue on a cash receipts basis. Our management has estimated variable usage based on customers forecasts, but there can be no assurance that these estimates will be realized. In addition, it is possible that customers from whom
we expect to derive revenue from backlog will default and as a result we may not be able to recognize expected revenue from backlog. If a customer defaults and fails to pay amounts owed, or if the level of defaults increases, our bad debt expense is
likely to increase. Any material payment default by our customers could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our lengthy and unpredictable sales cycle, and the large size of some orders, make it difficult for us to forecast revenue and increase the magnitude of quarterly fluctuations, which could harm our stock price.

Customers for our software products typically commit significant resources to evaluate available software. The complexity of our products requires us to
spend substantial time and effort to assist potential customers in evaluating our software and in benchmarking our products against those of our competitors. As the complexity of the products we sell increases, we expect our sales cycle to lengthen.
In addition, potential customers may be limited in their current spending by existing time-based licenses with their legacy vendors. In these cases, customers delay a significant new commitment to our software until the term of the existing license
has expired. Also, because our products require our customers to invest significant time and incur significant costs, we must target those individuals within our customers organizations who are able to make these decisions on behalf of their
companies. These individuals tend to be senior management in an organization, typically at the vice president level. We may face difficulty identifying and establishing contact with such individuals. Even after those individuals decide to purchase
our products, the negotiation and documentation processes can be lengthy and could lead the decision-maker to reconsider the purchase. Our sales cycle typically ranges between three and nine months, but can be longer. Any delay in completing sales
in a particular quarter could cause our operating results to fall below expectations. Furthermore, technological changes, litigation risk or other competitive factors could cause some customers to shorten the terms of their licenses significantly,
and such shorter terms could in turn have an impact on our total results for orders for this fiscal year. In addition, the precise mix of orders is subject to substantial fluctuation in any given quarter or multiple quarter periods, and the actual
mix of licenses sold affects the revenue we recognize in the period. Even if we achieve the target level of total orders, we may not meet our revenue targets if we are unable to achieve our target license mix. In particular, we may fall short of our
revenue targets if we deliver more long-term or ratable licenses than expected, or we may exceed our revenue targets if we deliver more short-term licenses than expected.

We may be unable to make payments to satisfy our indemnification obligations.

We enter into standard
license agreements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these agreements, we agree to indemnify certain of our customers for losses suffered or incurred by them as a result of any patent, copyright, or other intellectual property
infringement claim by any third party with respect to our products. These indemnification obligations have perpetual terms. Our normal business practice is to limit the maximum amount of indemnification to the amount received from the customer. On
occasion, the maximum amount of indemnification we may be required to make may exceed our normal business practices. We estimate that the fair value of our indemnification obligations is insignificant, based upon our historical experience concerning
product and patent infringement claims. Accordingly, we have no liabilities recorded for indemnification under these agreements. If an indemnification event were to occur, we might not have enough funds to pay our indemnification obligations.
Further, any material indemnification payment could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and the results of our operations.

We have entered into certain indemnification agreements whereby certain of our officers and directors are indemnified for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving at our request in such capacity.
Additionally, in connection with certain of our recent business acquisitions, we agreed to assume, or cause our subsidiaries to assume, indemnification obligations to the officers and directors of the acquired companies. While we have a directors
and officers insurance policy that reduces our exposure and enables us to recover a portion of any future amounts paid pursuant to our indemnification obligations to our officers and directors, the maximum potential amount of future payments we
could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. However, as a result of our directors and officers insurance policy coverage, and our belief that our estimated potential exposure to our officers and directors for
indemnification liabilities is minimal, no liabilities have been recorded for these agreements as of April 1, 2007. Therefore, if an indemnification event were to occur, we might not have enough funds to pay our indemnification obligations.
Further, any material indemnification payment could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and the results of our operations.

We rely on a small number of customers for a significant portion of our revenue, and our revenue could decline due to
delays of customer orders or the failure of existing customers to renew licenses or if we are unable to maintain or develop relationships with current or potential customers.

Our business depends on sales to a small number of customers. For the first quarter of fiscal 2008, our top three customers together accounted for
approximately 31% of our revenue.

We expect that we will continue to depend upon a relatively small number of customers for a substantial
portion of our revenue for the foreseeable future. If we fail to sell sufficient quantities of our products and services to one or more customers in any particular period, or if a large customer reduces purchases of our products or services, defers
orders, or fails to renew licenses, our business and operating results could be harmed.

Most of our customers license our software under
time-based licensing agreements, with terms that typically range from 15 months to 48 months. Most of our license agreements automatically expire at the end of the term unless the customer renews the license with us or purchases a perpetual license.
If our customers do not renew their licenses, we may not be able to maintain our current revenue or may not generate additional revenue. Some of our license agreements allow customers to terminate an agreement prior to its expiration under limited
circumstancesfor example, if our products do not meet specified performance requirements or goals. If these agreements are terminated prior to expiration or we are unable to collect under these agreements, our revenue may decline.

Some contracts with extended payment terms provide for payments which are weighted toward the later part of the contract term. Accordingly, for
bundled agreements, as the payment terms are extended, the revenue from these contracts is not recognized evenly over the contract term, but is recognized as the lesser of the cumulative amounts due and payable or ratably. For unbundled agreements,
as the payment terms are extended, the revenue from these contracts is recognized as amounts become due and payable. Revenue recognized under these arrangements will be higher in the later part of the contract term, which puts our revenue
recognition in the future at greater risk of the customers continuing credit-worthiness. In addition, some of our customers have extended payment terms, which creates additional credit risk.

We compete against companies that hold a large share of the EDA market and competition is increasing among EDA vendors as customers tightly control their EDA spending
and use fewer vendors to meet their needs. If we cannot compete successfully, we will not gain market share and our revenue could decline.

We currently compete with companies that hold dominant shares in the electronic design automation market, such as Cadence, Synopsys and Mentor. Each of these companies has a longer operating history and significantly greater financial,
technical and marketing resources than we do, as well as greater name recognition and a larger installed customer base. Our competitors are better able to offer aggressive discounts on their products, a practice they often employ. Competition and
corresponding pricing pressures among EDA vendors or other factors might be causing or might cause in the future the overall market for EDA products to have low growth rates, remain relatively flat or even decrease in terms of overall dollars. Our
competitors offer a more comprehensive range of products than we do; for example, we do not offer logic simulation which can sometimes be an impediment to our winning a particular customer order. In addition, our industry has traditionally viewed
acquisitions as an effective strategy for growth in products and market share and our competitors greater cash resources and higher market capitalization may give them a relative advantage over us in acquiring companies with promising new chip
design products or companies that may be too large for us to acquire without a strain on our resources and liquidity.

Competition in the
EDA market has increased as customers rationalized their EDA spending by using products from fewer EDA vendors. Continued consolidation in the electronic design automation market could intensify this trend. Also, many of our competitors, such as
Cadence, Synopsys and Mentor, have established relationships with our current and potential customers and can devote substantial resources aimed at preventing us from establishing or enhancing our customer relationships. Competitive pressures may
prevent us from obtaining new customers and gaining market share, may require us to reduce the price of products and services or cause us to lose existing customers, which could harm our business. To execute our business strategy successfully, we
must continue our efforts to increase our sales worldwide. If we fail to do so in a timely manner or at all, we may not be able to gain market share and our business and operating results could suffer.

Also, a variety of small companies continue to emerge, developing and introducing new products which may compete with our products. Any of these
companies could become a significant competitor in the future. We also compete with the internal chip design automation development groups of our existing and potential customers. Therefore, these customers may not require, or may be reluctant to
purchase, products offered by independent vendors.

Our competitors may develop or acquire new products or technologies that have the
potential to replace our existing or new product offerings. The introduction of these new or additional products by competitors may either cause potential customers to defer purchases of our products or cause potential customers to decide against
purchasing our products. If we fail to compete successfully, we will not gain market share, or our market share may decrease, and our business may fail.

We may not be successful in integrating the operations of acquired companies and acquired technology.

We expect to continuously evaluate the possibility of accelerating our growth through acquisitions, as is customary in the electronic design automation
industry. Achieving the anticipated benefits of past and possible future acquisitions will depend in part upon whether we can integrate the operations, products and technology of acquired companies with our operations, products and technology in a
timely and cost-effective manner. The process of integrating acquired companies and acquired technology is complex, expensive and time consuming, and may cause an interruption of, or loss of momentum in, the product development and sales activities
and operations of both companies. In addition, the earnout arrangements we use, and expect to continue to use, to consummate some of our acquisitions, pursuant to which we agreed to pay additional amounts of contingent consideration based on the
achievement of certain revenue, bookings or product development milestones, can sometimes complicate integration efforts. We cannot be sure that any part or all of the integration will be accomplished on a timely basis, or at all. Assimilating
previously acquired companies such as Knights Technology, Inc. (Knights), ACAD Corporation (ACAD), Mojave, Silicon Metrics Corporation, or any other companies we have acquired or may seek to acquire in the future, involves a
number of other risks, including, but not limited to:



| |  |  | adverse effects on existing customer relationships, such as cancellation of orders or the loss of key customers;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | difficulties in integrating or retaining key employees of the acquired company;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the risk that earnouts based on revenue will prove difficult to administer due to the complexities of revenue recognition accounting;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the risk that actions incentivized by earnout provisions will ultimately prove not to be in our best interest if our interests may change over time;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | difficulties in integrating the operations of the acquired company, such as information technology resources, manufacturing processes, and financial and operational
data;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | difficulties in integrating the technologies of the acquired company into our products;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | diversion of our managements attention;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------



| |  |  | potential incompatibility of business cultures;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | potential dilution to existing stockholders if we incur debt or issue equity securities to finance acquisitions; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | additional expenses associated with the amortization of intangible assets.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our operating results may be harmed if our customers do not adopt, or are slow to adopt, 65-nanometer design geometries.

Many of our customers are currently working on 90-nanometer designs. We continue to work toward developing and enhancing our product line in anticipation of increased customer demand for 65-nanometer (sub-90
nanometer) design geometries. Similarly, we acquired Mojave personnel and technology to better address the needs of potential or existing customers to design and verify semiconductors that are manufacturable with higher yield and performance, which
is a key design parameter when moving to 65-nanometer geometries. Notwithstanding our efforts to support 65-nanometer geometries, customers may fail to adopt or may be slower to adopt 65-nanometer geometries and we may be unable to convince our
customers to purchase our related software products. Accordingly, any revenues we receive from enhancements to our products or acquired technologies may be less than the development or acquisition costs. If customers fail to adopt 65-nanometer
design geometries or are slow to adopt 65-nanometer design geometries, our operating results may be harmed. In addition, if customers are not able successfully to make profits as they adopt smaller geometries, demand for our products may be
adversely affected, and our operating results may be harmed.

Our operating results will be harmed if chip designers do not adopt Blast Fusion, Talus,
FineSim, the Quartz family of products or our other current and future products.

Blast Fusion has accounted for the largest portion of
our revenue since our inception and we believe that revenue from Blast Fusion, Talus, FineSim, and the Quartz family of products will account for most of our revenue for the foreseeable future. In addition, we have dedicated significant resources to
developing and marketing Talus and other products. We must



35

##### Table of Contents

gain market penetration of Blast Fusion, Talus, FineSim, the Quartz family of products and other products in order to achieve our growth strategy and
financial success. Moreover, if integrated circuit designers do not continue to adopt Blast Fusion, Talus, FineSim, the Quartz family of products or our other current and future products, our operating results will be significantly harmed.

In the event that the changes we made to our organizational structure in fiscal 2006 result in ineffective interoperability between our products or
ineffective collaboration among our employees, then our operating results may be harmed.

We changed our organizational structure in
fiscal 2006 to establish major business units that are responsible for our various products. If this new organizational structure results in ineffective interoperability between our products or ineffective collaboration among our employees, then our
operating results may be harmed. For example, if this new organizational structure is not successful, we could experience delays in new product development that could cause us to lose customer orders and thereby could harm our operating results.

If the industries into which we sell our products experience recession or other cyclical effects affecting our customers research and development
budgets, our revenue would be likely to decline.

Demand for our products is driven by new integrated circuit design projects. The
demand from semiconductor and systems companies is uncertain and difficult to predict. Slower growth in the semiconductor and systems industries, a reduced number of design starts, reduction of electronic design automation budgets or consolidation
among our customers would harm our business and financial condition.

The primary customers for our products are companies in the
communications, computing, consumer electronics, networking and semiconductor industries. Any significant downturn in our customers markets or in general economic conditions that results in the cutback of research and development budgets or
the delay of software purchases would likely result in lower demand for our products and services and could harm our business. The continuing threat of terrorist attacks in the United States, the ongoing events in Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, the Middle
East and North Korea and other worldwide events have increased uncertainty in the United States economy. If the economy declines as a result of this economic, political and social turmoil, existing customers may delay their implementation of our
software products and prospective customers may decide not to adopt our software products, either of which could negatively impact our business and operating results.

The electronics industry has historically been subject to seasonal and cyclical fluctuations in demand for its products, and this trend may continue in the future. These industry downturns have been, and may continue
to be, characterized by diminished product demand, excess manufacturing capacity and subsequent erosion of average selling prices. Any such seasonal cyclical industry downturns could harm our operating results.

Difficulties in developing and achieving market acceptance of new products and delays in planned release dates of our software products and upgrades may harm our
business.

To succeed, we will need to develop innovative new products. We may not have the financial resources necessary to fund all
required future innovations. Expanding into new technologies or extending our product line into areas we have not previously addressed may be more costly or difficult than we presently anticipate. Also, any revenue that we receive from enhancements
or new generations of our proprietary software products may be less than the costs that we incur to develop those technologies and products. If we fail to develop and market new products in a timely manner, or if new products do not meet performance
features as marketed, our reputation and our business could suffer.

Our costs of customer engagement and support are high, so our gross margin may
decrease if we incur higher-than-expected costs associated with providing support services in the future or if we reduce our prices.

Because of the complexity of our products, we typically incur high field application engineering support costs to engage new customers and assist them in their evaluations of our products. If we fail to manage our customer engagement and
support costs, our operating results could suffer. In addition, our gross margin may decrease if we are unable to manage support costs associated with the services revenue we generate or if we reduce prices in response to competitive pressure.

Product defects could cause us to lose customers and revenue, or to incur unexpected expenses.

Our products depend on complex software, which we either developed internally or acquired or licensed from third parties. Our customers may use our
products with other companies products, which also contain complex software. If our software does not meet our customers performance requirements or meet the performance features as marketed, our customer relationships may suffer. Also,
a limited number of our contracts include specified ongoing performance criteria. If



36



---

##### Table of Contents

our products fail to meet these criteria, it may lead to termination of these agreements and loss of future revenue. Complex software often contains errors.
Any failure or poor performance of our software or the third-party software with which it is integrated could result in:



| |  |  | delayed market acceptance of our software products;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | delays in product shipments;
| | - |  | ----------------------------



| |  |  | unexpected expenses and diversion of resources to identify the source of errors or to correct errors;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | damage to our reputation;
| | - |  | -------------------------



| |  |  | delayed or lost revenue; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------



| |  |  | product liability claims.
| | - |  | -------------------------

Our
product functions are often critical to our customers, especially because of the resources our customers expend on the design and fabrication of integrated circuits. Many of our licensing agreements contain provisions to provide a limited warranty.
In addition, some of our licensing agreements provide the customer with a right of refund for the license fees if we are unable to correct errors reported during the warranty period. If our contractual limitations are unenforceable in a particular
jurisdiction or if we are exposed to claims that are not covered by insurance, a successful claim could harm our business. We currently carry insurance coverage and limits that we believe are consistent with similarly situated companies within the
EDA industry, however, our insurance coverage may prove insufficient to protect against any claims that we experience.

Because much of our business is
international, we are exposed to risks inherent to doing business internationally that could harm our business. We also intend to expand our international operations. If our revenue from this expansion does not exceed the expenses associated with
this expansion, our business and operating results could suffer.

We generated 51% of our total revenue from sales outside North America
during the first quarter of fiscal 2008, compared to 32% in fiscal 2007 and 33% for fiscal 2006. While most of our international sales to date have been denominated in U.S. dollars, our international operating expenses have been denominated in
foreign currencies. As a result, a decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the foreign currencies could increase the relative costs of our overseas operations, which could reduce our operating margins.

As we expand our international operations, we will need to maintain sales offices in Europe, the Middle East, and the Asia Pacific region. If our revenue
from international operations does not exceed the expense of establishing and maintaining our international operations, our business could suffer. Additional risks we face in conducting business internationally include:



| |  |  | difficulties and costs of staffing and managing international operations across different geographic areas;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in currency exchange rates and controls;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | uncertainty regarding tax and regulatory requirements in multiple jurisdictions;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the possible lack of financial and political stability in foreign countries, preventing overseas sales growth;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | current events in North Korea, Iran, Iraq and the Middle East;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the effects of terrorist attacks in the United States; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any related conflicts or similar events worldwide.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------

Future changes in accounting standards, specifically changes affecting revenue recognition, could cause unexpected adverse revenue fluctuations for us.

Future changes in accounting standards or interpretations thereof, specifically those changes affecting software revenue recognition, could require us to change our methods of revenue recognition. These changes could
result in deferral of revenue recognized in current periods to subsequent periods or in accelerated recognition of deferred revenue to current periods, each of which could cause shortfalls in meeting the expectations of investors and securities
analysts. Our stock price could decline as a result of any shortfall. Implementation of internal controls reporting and attestation requirements, as further described below, will impose additional financial and administrative obligations on us and
will cause us to incur substantial implementation costs from third party consultants, which could adversely affect our results.

Changes in laws and regulations that affect the governance of public companies have increased our operating expenses
and will continue to do so.

Recently enacted changes in the laws and regulations affecting public companies, including the provisions
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the listing requirements for the Nasdaq Stock Market have imposed duties on us and on our executives, directors, attorneys and independent registered public accounting firms. In order to comply with these new
rules, we have hired additional personnel and use additional outside legal, accounting and advisory services, all of which have increased and may further increase our operating expenses over time. In particular, we have incurred and will continue to
incur additional administrative expenses relating to the implementation of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (Section 404), which requires that we implement and maintain an effective system of internal controls and annual
certification of our compliance by our independent auditor. For example, we have incurred significant expenses and will continue to incur expenses in connection with the implementation, documentation and continued testing of our internal control
systems. Management time associated with these compliance efforts necessarily reduces time available for other operating activities, which could adversely affect operating results. For the years ended April 1, 2007, April 2, 2006 and
March 31, 2005, our independent registered public accounting firms have certified that we were in compliance with the provision of Section 404 relating to effective internal control over financial reporting; however, our internal control
obligations are ongoing and subject to continued review and testing. If we are unable to maintain full and timely compliance with these and other regulatory requirements, we could be required to incur additional costs, expend additional management
time on remedial efforts and make related public disclosures that could adversely affect our stock price and result in securities litigation. Further, a failure to comply with Section 404 could cause us to delay filing our public reports,
potentially resulting in de-listing by the Nasdaq Stock Market and penalties or other adverse consequences under our existing contractual arrangements. In particular, pursuant to the indenture for the 2010 Notes, if we fail to file our annual or
quarterly reports in accordance with the terms of that indenture, or if we do not comply with certain provisions of the Trust Indenture Act specified in the indenture, after the passage of certain periods of time at the election of a certain minimum
number of holders of the 2010 Notes, we may be in default under the indenture unless we pay a fee equal to 1% per annum of the aggregate principal amounts of the 2010 Notes, or the extension fee, to extend the default date. Even if we pay the
applicable extension fee, we will eventually be in default for these filing failures if sufficient time passes and we have not made the applicable filing.

The effectiveness of disclosure controls is inherently limited.

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and
procedures, or our internal control over financial reporting, will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system objectives
will be met. The design of a control system must also reflect applicable resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. As a result of these inherent limitations, no evaluation of controls can provide
absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. Failure of the control systems to prevent error or fraud could materially adversely impact our financial results and our business.

Forecasting our tax rates is complex and subject to uncertainty.

Our management must make significant assumptions, judgments and estimates to determine our current provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and
liabilities, and any valuation allowance that may be recorded against our deferred tax assets. These assumptions, judgments and estimates are difficult to make due to their complexity, and the relevant tax law is often changing.

Our future effective tax rates could be adversely affected by the following:



| |  |  | an increase in expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes, including stock-based compensation and write-offs of acquired in-process research and development;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | future changes in ownership that may limit realization of certain assets;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in forecasts of pre-tax profits and losses by jurisdiction used to estimate tax expense by jurisdiction;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | assessment of additional taxes as a result of federal, state, or foreign tax examinations; or
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in tax laws or interpretations of such tax laws.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------

Our success will depend on our ability to keep pace with the rapidly evolving technology standards of the
semiconductor industry. If we are unable to keep pace with these evolving technology standards, our products could be rendered obsolete, which would cause our operating results to decline.

The semiconductor industry has made significant technological advances. In particular, recent advances in deep sub-micron technology have required
electronic design automation companies to continuously develop or acquire new products and enhance existing products. The evolving nature of our industry could render our existing products and services obsolete. Our success will depend, in part, on
our ability to:



| |  |  | enhance our existing products and services;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------



| |  |  | develop and introduce new products and services on a timely and cost-effective basis that will keep pace with technological developments and evolving industry
standards;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | address the increasingly sophisticated needs of our customers; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | acquire other companies that have complementary or innovative products.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------

If we are unable, for technical, legal, financial or other reasons, to respond in a timely manner to changing market conditions or customer requirements,
our business and operating results could be seriously harmed.

If we fail to offer and maintain competitive equity compensation packages for our
employees, or if our stock price declines materially for a protracted period of time, we might have difficulty retaining our employees and our business may be harmed.

In todays competitive technology industry, employment decisions of highly skilled personnel are influenced by equity compensation packages, which offer incentives above traditional compensation only where there
is a consistent, long-term upward trend over time of a companys stock price. Our stock price has declined significantly over the past several years due to market conditions and had recently been negatively affected by uncertainty surrounding
the outcome of our litigation with Synopsys, Inc. discussed above.

In August 2005, we implemented a stock option exchange program (the
Exchange Program) allowing non-executive employees holding options to purchase our common stock at exercise prices greater than or equal to $10.50 to exchange those options for a smaller number of new options at an exercise price equal
to $9.20, the fair market value on the date of grant. If this exercise price of $9.20 per share or the terms of the Exchange Program are not satisfactory to employees who participate in the Exchange Program, our ability to retain employees could be
affected.

If our stock price declines in the future due to market conditions, investors perceptions of the technology industry or
managerial or performance problems we might have, we may be forced to grant additional options to retain employees. This in turn could result in:



| |  |  | immediate and substantial dilution to investors resulting from the grant of additional options necessary to retain employees; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | compensation charges against us, which would negatively impact our operating results.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, the new accounting requirements for employee stock options discussed below has adversely affected our option grant practices and may affect
our ability to recruit and retain employees.

Due to changes in the accounting treatment for employee stock options, we have changed our employee
compensation practices, and our reported results of operations have been and will likely continue to be adversely affected.

Until
April 2, 2006, we accounted for the issuance of employee stock options under principles that do not require us to record compensation expense for options granted at fair market value. In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123R,
Share-Based Payment, which eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using APB 25, and generally requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value based method. Under SFAS 123R,
companies are required to recognize an expense for compensation cost related to share-based payment arrangements including stock options and employee stock purchase plans. We adopted the new rules in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2007. This
change in accounting treatment has resulted and will continue to result in significant additional compensation expense compared to prior periods and has adversely affected and will likely continue to adversely affect our reported results of
operations and hinder our ability to achieve profitability. We are continuing to assess the full impact of the adoption of SFAS 123R on our business practices and, as part of that assessment, have changed our employee compensation practices by, for
example, issuing more restricted stock and fewer stock options. These changes could make it harder for us to retain existing employees and attract qualified candidates.

If our sales force compensation arrangements are not designed effectively, we may lose sales personnel and resources.

Designing an effective incentive compensation structure for our sales force is critical to our success. We have experimented, and
continue to experiment, with different systems of sales force compensation. If our incentives are not well designed, we may experience reduced revenue generation, and we may also lose the services of our more productive sales personnel, either of
which would reduce our revenue or potential revenue.

Fluctuations in our growth place a strain on our management systems and resources, and if we fail
to manage the pace of our growth, our business could be harmed.

Periods of growth followed by efforts to realign costs when revenue
growth is slower than anticipated have placed a strain on our management, administrative and financial resources. For example, in first quarter of fiscal 2008, we decreased our workforce by 21 employees. Over time we have significantly expanded our
operations in the United States and internationally, and we plan to continue to expand the geographic scope of our operations. To pace the growth of our operations with the growth in our revenue, we must continue to improve administrative, financial
and operations systems, procedures and controls. Failure to improve our internal procedures and controls could hinder our efforts to adequately manage our growth, disrupt operations, lead to deficiencies in our internal controls and financial
reporting and otherwise harm our business.

If chip designers and manufacturers do not integrate our software into existing design flows, or if other
software companies do not cooperate in working with us to interface our products with their design flows, demand for our products may decrease.

To implement our business strategy successfully, we must provide products that interface with the software of other electronic design automation software companies. Our competitors may not support efforts by us or by our customers to
integrate our products into their existing design flows. We must develop cooperative relationships with competitors so that they will work with us to integrate our software into customers design flow. Currently, our software is designed to
interface with the existing software of Cadence, Synopsys and others. If we are unable to convince customers to adopt our software products instead of those of competitors (including competitors offering a broader set of products), or if we are
unable to convince other software companies to work with us to interface our software with theirs to meet the demands of chip designers and manufacturers, our business and operating results will suffer.

We may not obtain sufficient patent protection, which could harm our competitive position and increase our expenses.

Our success and ability to compete depends to a significant degree upon the protection of our software and other proprietary technology. We currently have
a number of issued patents in the United States, but this number is relatively small in relation to our competitors.

These legal
protections afford only limited protection for our technology. In addition, rights that may be granted under any patent application that may issue in the future may not provide competitive advantages to us. Further, patent protection in foreign
jurisdictions where we may need this protection may be limited or unavailable. It is possible that:



| |  |  | our pending U.S. and non-U.S. patents may not be issued;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | competitors may design around our present or future issued patents or may develop competing non-infringing technologies;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | present and future issued patents may not be sufficiently broad to protect our proprietary rights; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | present and future issued patents could be successfully challenged for validity and enforceability.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We believe the patent portfolios of our competitors are far larger than ours, and this may increase the risk that they may sue us for patent infringement
and may limit our ability to counterclaim for patent infringement or settle through patent cross-licenses.

We rely on trademark, copyright and trade
secret laws and contractual restrictions to protect our proprietary rights, and if these rights are not sufficiently protected, it could harm our ability to compete and generate income.

To establish and protect our proprietary rights, we rely on a combination of trademark, copyright and trade secret laws, and contractual restrictions,
such as confidentiality agreements and licenses. Our ability to compete and grow our business

could suffer if these rights are not adequately protected. We seek to protect our source code for our software, documentation and other written materials
under trade secret and copyright laws. We license our software pursuant to agreements, which impose certain restrictions on the licensees ability to utilize the software. We also seek to avoid disclosure of our intellectual property by
requiring employees and consultants with access to our proprietary information to execute confidentiality agreements. Our proprietary rights may not be adequately protected because:



| |  |  | laws and contractual restrictions in U.S. and foreign jurisdictions may not prevent misappropriation of our technologies or deter others from developing similar
technologies;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | competitors may independently develop similar technologies and software;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | for some of our trademarks, federal U.S. trademark protection may be unavailable to us;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our trademarks might not be protected or protectable in some foreign jurisdictions;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the validity and scope of our U.S. and foreign trademarks could be successfully challenged; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | policing unauthorized use of our products and trademarks is difficult, expensive and time-consuming, and we may be unable to determine the extent of this
unauthorized use.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The laws of some countries in which we market our products may offer little or no protection of our
proprietary technologies. Reverse engineering, unauthorized copying or other misappropriation of our proprietary technologies could enable third parties to benefit from our technologies without paying us for them, which would harm our competitive
position and market share.

Our directors, executive officers and principal stockholders own a substantial portion of our common stock and as a result
of this concentration of ownership may be able to elect most of our directors and delay or prevent a change in control of Magma.

Our
directors, executive officers and stockholders who currently own over 5% of our common stock beneficially own a substantial portion of our outstanding common stock. These stockholders, in a combined vote, will be able to significantly influence all
matters requiring stockholder approval. For example, they may be able to elect most of our directors, delay or prevent a transaction in which stockholders might receive a premium over the market price for their shares or prevent changes in control
or management.

We may need additional capital in the future, but there is no assurance that funds would be available on acceptable terms.

In the future we may need to raise additional capital in order to achieve growth or other business objectives. This financing may not
be available in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us and may be dilutive to existing stockholders. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, our ability to expand, develop or enhance services or
products, or respond to competitive pressures would be limited.

Our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and Delaware corporate law contain
anti-takeover provisions which could delay or prevent a change in control even if the change in control would be beneficial to our stockholders. We could also adopt a stockholder rights plan, which could also delay or prevent a change in control.

Delaware law, as well as our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, contain anti-takeover provisions that could delay or prevent a
change in control of our company, even if the change of control would be beneficial to the stockholders. These provisions could lower the price that future investors might be willing to pay for shares of our common stock. These anti-takeover
provisions:



| |  |  | authorize our Board of Directors to create and issue, without prior stockholder approval, preferred stock that can be issued increasing the number of outstanding
shares and deter or prevent a takeover attempt;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | prohibit stockholder action by written consent, thereby requiring all stockholder actions to be taken at a meeting of our stockholders;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | establish a classified Board of Directors requiring that not all members of the board be elected at one time;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | prohibit cumulative voting in the election of directors, which would otherwise allow less than a majority of stockholders to elect director candidates;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | limit the ability of stockholders to call special meetings of stockholders; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | require advance notice requirements for nominations for election to the Board of Directors and proposals that can be acted upon by stockholders at stockholder
meetings.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and the terms of our stock option plans
may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company. That section generally prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for three years after the date the stockholder became
an interested stockholder. Also, our stock option plans include change-in-control provisions that allow us to grant options or stock purchase rights that will become vested immediately upon a change in control of us.

Our board of directors also has the power to adopt a stockholder rights plan, which could delay or prevent a change in control of us even if the change
in control is generally beneficial to our stockholders. These plans, sometimes called poison pills, are sometimes criticized by institutional investors or their advisors and could affect our rating by such investors or advisors. If our
board were to adopt such a plan it might have the effect of reducing the price that new investors are willing to pay for shares of our common stock.

We
are subject to risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

We transact some portions of our business in various
foreign currencies. Accordingly, we are subject to exposure from adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. This exposure is primarily related to a portion of revenue in Japan and operating expenses in Europe, Japan and Asia-Pacific,
which are denominated in the respective local currencies. As of July 1, 2007, we had approximately $8.2 million of cash and money market funds in foreign currencies. At this time, we are not hedging the effect of foreign currency fluctuations
on our operating results using derivative financial instruments. While we assess the need to utilize financial instruments to hedge currency exposures on an ongoing basis, our assessments may prove incorrect.

The convertible notes we issued in May 2003 and the convertible notes we issued in March 2007 are debt obligations that must be repaid in cash in May 2008 and May
2010, respectively, if they are not redeemed or converted into shares of our common stock at an earlier date, which is unlikely to occur if the price of our common stock does not exceed the conversion price.

In May 2003, we issued $150.0 million principal amount of the 2008 Notes. In May 2005, we repurchased, in privately negotiated transactions, $44.5 million
face amount (or approximately 29.7% of the total) of the 2008 Notes at an average discount to face value of approximately 22%. In addition, in May 2006, we repurchased another $40.3 million face amount (approximately 38.2% of the remaining
principal) of the 2008 Notes at an average discount to face value of approximately 13%. We spent an aggregate of approximately $34.8 million and $35.0 million, respectively, on the repurchases in May 2005 and May 2006. In March 2007, we exchanged,
in privately negotiated transactions, an aggregate principal amount of $49.9 million of the 2008 Notes for an equal aggregate principal amount of the 2010 Notes. We will be required to repay the $15.2 million remaining principal amount of the 2008
Notes in full in May 2008 and the $49.9 million principal amount of the 2010 Notes in full in May 2010, unless the holders of those notes elect to convert them into shares of our common stock before the repayment dates or these notes are otherwise
redeemed. The conversion price, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, is $15.00 for the 2010 Notes and $22.86 for the 2008 Notes. If the price of our common stock does not rise above the applicable conversion price, conversion of the notes
is unlikely and we would be required to repay the principal amounts of the notes in cash. There have been previous quarters in which we have experienced shortfalls in revenue and earnings from levels expected by securities analysts and investors,
which have had an immediate and significant adverse effect on the trading price of our common stock. In addition, the stock market in recent years has experienced extreme price and trading volume fluctuations that often have been unrelated or
disproportionate to the operating performance of individual companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the price of our stock, regardless of our operating performance. Because the notes are convertible into shares of our common
stock, volatility or depressed prices for our common stock could have a similar effect on the trading price of the notes.

We may have insufficient cash
flow to meet our debt service obligations, including payments due on our convertible notes.

We will be required to generate cash
sufficient to conduct our business operations and pay our indebtedness and other liabilities, including all amounts, both principal and interest, due on our outstanding 2008 Notes and 2010 Notes. The aggregate outstanding principal amount of these
notes was $15.2 million and $49.9 million, respectively, at April 1, 2007. The 2010 Notes bear interest at 2% per annum, with interest payable on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing on May 15, 2007. We may not be
able to cover our anticipated debt service obligations from our cash flow. This may



42

##### Table of Contents

materially hinder our ability to make payments on the 2008 Notes and the 2010 Notes. Our ability to meet our future debt service obligations will depend upon
our future performance, which will be subject to financial, business and other factors affecting our operations, many of which are beyond our control. Accordingly, we cannot assure that we will be able to make required principal and interest
payments on the 2008 Notes and the 2010 Notes when due.

The conversion of our outstanding convertible notes would result in dilution to our current
stockholders.

We currently have outstanding 2008 Notes in the principal amount of $15.2 million and 2010 Notes in the principal amount
of $49.9 million. The 2008 Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $22.86 per share, subject to adjustment. The 2010 Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $15.00 per
share, subject to adjustment. At current conversion prices, an aggregate of approximately 3,995,000 shares of our common stock would be issued upon the conversion of all outstanding notes at these exchange rates, which would dilute the voting power
and ownership percentage of our existing stockholders.

Hedging transactions and other transactions may affect the value of our common stock and our
convertible notes.

We entered into hedging arrangements with Credit Suisse First Boston International at the time we issued the 2008
Notes, with the objective of reducing the potential dilutive effect of issuing common stock upon conversion of the notes. Although at the time of our May 2005 and May 2006 repurchases and our March 2007 exchanges of the 2008 Notes portions of the
hedging arrangements were retired, the remaining portions of these hedging arrangements are likely to have caused Credit Suisse First Boston International and others to take positions in our common stock in secondary market transactions or to enter
into derivative transactions at or after the sale of the notes. Any market participants entering into hedging arrangements are likely to modify their hedge positions from time to time prior to conversion or maturity of the notes by purchasing and
selling shares of our common stock or other securities, which may increase the volatility and reduce the market price of our common stock.

We may be
unable to meet the requirements under the indentures to purchase our 2008 Notes and 2010 Notes upon a change in control.

Upon a change
in control, which is defined in the indentures relating to the 2008 Notes and 2010 Notes to include some cash acquisitions and private company mergers, note holders may require us to purchase all or a portion of the notes they hold. If a change in
control were to occur, we might not have enough funds to pay the purchase price for all tendered notes. Future credit agreements or other agreements relating to our indebtedness might prohibit the redemption or repurchase of the notes and provide
that a change in control constitutes an event of default. If a change in control occurs at a time when we are prohibited from purchasing the notes, we could seek the consent of our lenders to purchase the notes or could attempt to refinance this
debt. If we do not obtain a consent, we could not purchase the notes. Our failure to purchase tendered notes would constitute an event of default under the indenture, which might constitute a default under the terms of our other debt. In such
circumstances, or if a change in control would constitute an event of default under our senior indebtedness, the subordination provisions of the indenture would possibly limit or prohibit payments to note holders. Our obligation to offer to purchase
the notes upon a change in control would not necessarily afford note holders protection in the event of a highly leveraged transaction, reorganization, merger or similar transaction involving us.

Failure to obtain export licenses could harm our business by preventing us from transferring our technology outside of the United States.

We are required to comply with U.S. Department of Commerce regulations when shipping our software products and/or transferring our technology outside of
the United States or to certain foreign nationals. We believe we have complied with applicable export regulations, however, these regulations are subject to change, and future difficulties in obtaining export licenses for current, future developed
and acquired products and technology, or any failure (if any) by us to comply with such requirements in the past, could harm our business, financial conditions and operating results.

Our business operations may be adversely affected in the event of an earthquake or other natural disaster.

Our corporate headquarters and much of our research and development operations are located in San Jose, California, in Californias Silicon Valley region, which is an area known for its seismic activity. An earthquake, fire or other
significant natural disaster could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, on April 2, 2007, we issued 210,265
shares of our common stock as part of the contingent consideration in connection with our acquisition of Mojave, Inc. pursuant to a definitive agreement signed on February 23, 2004. The contingent share consideration was based on Mojaves
achievement of certain technology milestones and product orders. We may issue additional contingent share consideration of up to $34.9 million based on additional product orders over the period ending March 31, 2009. These securities were
issued in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 provided by Section 3(a)(10) thereof.
