 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
     In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a consistent
basis with the March 31, 1997 audited consolidated financial statements and
include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments,
necessary to provide a fair statement of the results for the interim periods
presented. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 1997. For
presentation purposes, the Company has indicated its first quarter as ending on
June 30, whereas in fact, the Company's first quarter of fiscal 1998 ended on
July 4, 1997 and its first quarter of fiscal 1997 ended on June 28, 1996. The
results of operations for the three month period ended June 30, 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

 3. NET INCOME PER SHARE
 
     The Company's net income per share, weighted average common and common
equivalent shares outstanding, and other share information included in these
interim financial statements reflect the two-for-one split of its common stock
approved by its Board of Directors in November 1996.
 
     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, (SFAS 128) "Earnings Per Share,"
which the Company is required to adopt beginning in the third quarter of fiscal
1998. Under SFAS 128 primary earnings per share will be replaced by basic
earnings per share and the dilutive effect of stock options will be excluded.
Fully diluted earnings per share will be replaced with diluted earnings per
share. The statement requires retroactive presentation of all earnings per share
amounts. Following are pro forma disclosures of basic and diluted earnings per
share as if the Company had applied SFAS 128 during the periods presented below:
 


                                                             THREE MONTH PERIOD

                Pro forma diluted earnings per share......   $ 0.51       $ 0.16

 
 4. INCOME TAXES
 
     Income tax provisions for interim periods are based on estimated annual
income tax rates. The effective income tax rate varies from the U.S. federal
statutory income tax rate primarily due to income earned in Singapore where the
Company is subject to a significantly lower effective tax rate.
 
                                        6

5. ACQUISITIONS
 
     On April 9, 1996, the Company acquired certain assets and the ongoing
business of Western Digital's Connectivity Solutions Group (CSG) for $33 million
cash. CSG supplies silicon solutions for the SCSI disk drive market.
Additionally, on June 28, 1996, the Company acquired certain technologies from
Corel, Inc. for $12 million cash.
 
     The Company accounted for these acquisitions using the purchase method of
accounting, and excluding the $26.5 million write-off of purchased in-process
technology from these companies, the aggregate impact on the Company's results
of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 was not material.
 
     The allocation of the Company's aggregate purchase price to the tangible
and identifiable intangible assets acquired was based on independent appraisals
and is summarized as follows (in thousands):

     The first quarter of fiscal 1998 contained three additional business days
compared to the corresponding quarter of the prior year. The additional days had
no significant effect on the Company's results of operations.
 
NET REVENUES
 
     Net revenues increased 34% to $271 million for the first quarter of fiscal
1998 from $202 million for the corresponding quarter of fiscal 1997. This
increase was primarily due to increased shipments of the Company's host adapters
and proprietary integrated circuits (ICs) used in peripheral technology
solutions. These increases reflect growth in the high-performance microcomputer
markets, continued demand for SCSI in the client/server environment, and an
increase in the use of diverse peripherals in microcomputer systems compared to
the corresponding prior year period.
 
                                        7

GROSS MARGIN
 
     The Company's gross margin for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 was 60%
compared to 57% for the corresponding quarter of fiscal 1997. The increase in
gross margin was primarily due to component cost reductions and increased
manufacturing efficiencies. Gross margin was also favorably affected by
increased shipments of the Company's higher margin SCSI host adapters.
 
OPERATING EXPENSES
 
     As a percentage of net revenues, expenditures for research and development
remained at approximately 14% for both the first quarter of fiscal 1998 and for
the corresponding quarter of fiscal 1997. In absolute dollars, spending for
research and development increased 40% to $39 million for the first quarter of
fiscal 1998 from $28 million for the corresponding prior year quarter. This
increased spending is a result of the Company's ongoing commitment to invest in
its core products as well as newer hardware and software including
1394/FireWire, Fibre Channel, and optical technologies.
 
     As a percentage of revenues, selling, marketing and administrative expenses
increased to 18% for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 compared with 17% for the
corresponding quarter of fiscal 1997. In absolute dollars, spending for selling,
marketing and administrative expenses increased 45% to $49 million for the first
quarter of fiscal 1998 from $34 million for the corresponding quarter of fiscal
1997. The increase in spending was primarily a result of increased staffing
levels to support the Company's worldwide growth.
 
     During the first quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company acquired complementary
businesses recorded under the purchase method of accounting, resulting in
write-offs of acquired in-process technology of $26.5 million. During the first
quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company did not complete any acquisitions.
 
INTEREST AND INCOME TAXES
 
     Interest income, net of interest expense, increased 46% to $3.9 million for
the first quarter of fiscal 1998 from $2.7 million for the first quarter of
fiscal 1997. The increase was primarily due to higher average cash and
marketable securities balances as a result of proceeds received in connection
with $230 million of Convertible Subordinated Notes that the Company issued in
February 1997, offset by higher interest expense as a result of higher average
outstanding debt balances.
 
     The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $19.9 million for the
first quarter of fiscal 1998 representing 25% of income before income taxes
compared with 41% for the corresponding quarter of fiscal 1997. The 41% rate in
the prior quarter was higher than the 25% rate primarily due to book write-offs
of in-process technology which are not deductible for tax purposes. The
difference between the Company's effective tax rate and the U.S. statutory rate
is primarily due to income earned in Singapore where the Company is subject to a
significantly lower effective tax rate.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
  OPERATING ACTIVITIES
 
     Net cash generated from operating activities for the first quarter of
fiscal 1998 of $117 million was higher by $80 million compared to the $37
million generated in the corresponding quarter of fiscal 1997. This increase was
primarily due to increased net income and two amounts totaling $25.7 million
collected during the first quarter of fiscal 1998. The two amounts collected
during the first quarter of fiscal 1998 comprised of a refund of a deposit
totaling $14.7 million from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
("TSMC") and $11 million received from Lucent Technologies, Inc. ("Lucent")
under an agreement in which the Company sold equipment that it had previously
purchased in connection with a separate agreement. The amounts from TSMC and
Lucent had both been previously classified as prepaid expenses.

INVESTING ACTIVITIES
 
     Purchases of property and equipment of $37 million during the first quarter
of fiscal 1998 included an investment of $11 million for land located in Irvine,
California to provide for the Company's future growth and $8 million relating to
the implementation of new information systems. The Company will begin utilizing
its new information systems during the second quarter of fiscal 1998. During the
first quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company continued to make various building and
leasehold improvements to its facilities and to invest in equipment for product
development and manufacturing to support increased demand for its products and
future business requirements. During the first quarter of fiscal 1997, the
Company paid a total of $45 million cash for the acquisition of Western
Digital's Connectivity Solutions Group and certain technologies from Corel, Inc.
 
     The Company anticipates capital expenditures relating to property and
equipment will total approximately $65 million for the remainder of fiscal 1998.
The Company may also make investments in increased wafer fabrication capacity or
for acquisitions of complimentary businesses, products, or technologies. During
the first quarter of fiscal 1998 the Company continued to invest significant
amounts of funds in marketable securities, consisting mainly of various tax
advantaged U.S. government and municipal securities.
 
FINANCING ACTIVITIES
 
     During April 1997, the Company entered into an agreement with TSMC whereby
the Company will make advance payments totaling $35 million to secure additional
wafer capacity for future technology through 2001. The Company signed a $35
million promissory note for the advance payments, which becomes due in two equal
installments in January 1998 and June 1998. During the first quarter of fiscal
1997, the Company paid a short term note of $46 million due to TSMC in return
for guaranteed future wafer capacity.
 
     During the first quarter of fiscal 1998 and fiscal 1997, the Company
received proceeds from common stock issued under the employee stock option and
employee stock purchase plans totaling $12 million and $6 million, respectively.
 
     At June 30, 1997, the Company's principal sources of liquidity consisted of
$640 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and an
unsecured $17 million revolving line of credit which expires on December 31,
1998. The Company believes existing working capital, together with expected cash
flows from operations and available sources of bank, equity, debt and equipment
financing, will be sufficient to support its operations through fiscal 1998.
