other revenue decreased 22% to $2,296,000 in the third fiscal quarter this

operations for the quarter," said Gary Arnold, Chairman, CEO and President of
Analogy.
    "The previously announced acquisition of Analogy by Avant! Corporation is
proceeding according to our expectations.  The company is planning its special
meeting of shareholders to approve the transaction for mid-March.  The
acquisition is expected to be completed shortly thereafter."
    The statements above regarding the company's expectations concerning the
acquisition by Avant! Corporation are forward-looking statements, which are
made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Act of 1995.  The forward-looking statements involve risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the
forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, the failure to
satisfy conditions necessary to consummate the proposed acquisition which are
outside of Analogy's and Avant!'s control, including certain regulatory
approval actions.  The forward-looking statements should be considered in
light of these risks and uncertainties, as well as those highlighted in the
company's reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
