3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONSDiscontinued Operations

In November 2000, the Company completed the sale of WPI Instruments, Inc. and WPI Magnetec, Inc. to an investor group led by WPI Instruments management for approximately $6.1 million in cash and a $1.0 million promissory note, subject to final purchase price adjustments. The proceeds from the sale were applied to the outstanding bank debt and permanently reducedreduce the outstanding bank loans by $5.0 million.

4. ACQUISTION

In May 2001, the Company completed the acquistion of Diversified Software Industries, Inc. an independent software developer. In connection with the acquisition, NEXIQ Technologies issued 1,714,285 shares of common stock in exchange for all the outstanding shares of Diversified Software. In addition, NEXIQ Technologies granted nonstatutory stock options to acquire 1.0 million shares of NEXIQ common stock to certain employees of Diversified Software. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase with excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired of approximately $3.9 million. The Company has not completed the final allocation of the components of intangible assets, and has assigned the excess principally to goodwill. Accordingly, the purchase price allocations are estimates and could change upon the completion of asset valuations, which are on-going as of the date of this filing.

The following pro forma results of operations reflect this transaction as if it had occurred on September 27, 1999. The pro forma data does not purport to be indicative of the results that would actually have been reported if the transaction had occurred on such date (unaudited):

6. NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is calculated by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Other obligations, such as stock options and warrants, are considered to be potentially dilutive common shares. Diluted EPS assumes the issuance of potential dilutive common shares outstanding during the period and adjusts for any changes in income and the repurchase of common shares that would have occurred from the assumed issuance.

During the three and nine month periods ended June 24, 2001, options and warrants to purchase 5,217,000 and 4,224,000 shares of common stock, respectively, were outstanding and were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the comparable three and nine month periods ended June 25, 2000, options and warrants to purchase 1,157,000 and 1,025,000 shares of common stock, respectively, were outstanding and were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.
