ITEM 7.           FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.

(a)      FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         See Exhibit 99.1 for audited financial statements of the Telinnovation
Entities.

(b)      PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

         The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial
statements, including the notes thereto, are qualified in their entirety by
reference to, and should be read in conjunction with, the historical
financial statements and notes thereto of the Company included in the
Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-86691) filed
September 8, 1999, as amended October 4, 1999, and its final prospectus
contained therein filed October 5, 1999 under Rule 424(b) of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and the Company's  October 31, 1999 unaudited
quarterly financial statements on Form 10-Q filed December 14, 1999, with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, and the historical financial statements
and notes thereto of the Telinnovation Entities, included as exhibits herein.

         The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements
assume a business combination between the Company and the Telinnovation
Entities accounted for on a purchase basis and are based on each entity's
respective historical financial statements and notes thereto, which are
included herein or are otherwise publicly available. The unaudited pro forma
condensed combined balance sheet combines the Company's condensed balance
sheet as of October 31, 1999 with the Telinnovation Entities' condensed
combined balance sheet as of October 31, 1999, giving effect to the
Acquisition as if it had occurred on October 31, 1999. The unaudited pro
forma condensed combined statements of operations combine the Company's
historical results for the six months ended October 31, 1999 and the year
ended April 30, 1999 with the Telinnovation Entities' historical results for
the six months ended October 31, 1999 and the year ended April 30, 1999,
respectively, giving effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred at
May 1, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The combined statements of operations of
the Telinnovation Entities included in the pro forma statements have been
adjusted to conform the fiscal periods with those of the Company.

         The unaudited pro forma information is presented for illustrative
purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results or
financial position that would have occurred if the Acquisition had been
consummated at the beginning of the earliest period presented, nor is it
necessarily indicative of future operating results or financial position.

      NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

       Effective February 1, 2000, the Company acquired from the
Telinnovation Entities the operating assets relating to an echo cancellation
business.

       The allocation of the stock purchase price is summarized below (in
thousands):

Developed technology                                                $  25,914
In-process research and development                                     8,684
Goodwill                                                               11,213
Net assets acquired                                                        89
                                                              ----------------

           Total purchase price                                     $  45,900
                                                              ----------------
                                                              ----------------

       The amount allocated to in-process research and development represents
the purchased in-process technology for projects that, as of the date of the
acquisition, had not yet reached technological feasibility and had no
alternative future use. Based on preliminary assessments, the value of these
projects was determined by estimating the resulting net cash flows from the
sale of the products resulting from the completion of the projects, reduced
by the portion of the revenue attributable to core technology and the
percentage completion of the project. The resulting cash flows were then
discounted back to their present value at appropriate discount rates.

       The nature of the efforts to develop the purchased in-process research
and development into commercially viable products principally relates to the
completion of all planning, designing, prototyping and testing activities
that are necessary to establish that the product can be produced to meet is
design specification including function, features and technical performance
requirements. The resulting net cash flows from such products are based on
estimates of revenue, cost of revenue, research and development costs, sales
and marketing costs, and income taxes from such projects.

       The amount allocated to in-process research and development will be
charged to the statement of operations in the period of the acquisition.

       The Telinnovation Purchase Agreement includes the issuance of 200,000
restricted shares to the General Partners with a value of $22,950,000. These
restricted shares vest over a three year period following the closing of the
Acquisition. This stock has been recorded as deferred stock compensation and
will be charged to the statement of operations as stock compensation over the
three year vesting period.

2.     PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

       (a)     To eliminate the Telinnovation Entities' assets, equity,
               revenues or expenditures not relating to the portion of the
               business acquired or assumed in the acquisition of the echo
               cancellation business.

       (b)     To reflect the purchase price and deferred stock compensation
               and the resulting in-process research and development charge,
               as if the acquisition had occured on October 31, 1999.

       (c)     To reflect the amortization of stock compensation, developed
               technology and goodwill, as if the acquisition had occurred on
               May 1, 1998 or 1999 as applicable. In-process research and
               development has not been charged in the pro forma adjustments
               to the statements of operations due to its non-recurring
               nature.

       (d)     To reflect elimination of inter-company transactions, being the
               payment of royalties and the purchase of technology.

       (e)     To reflect elimination of proceeds from sale of the Company's
               common stock by the Telinnovation Entities.

       (f)     To reflect income taxes/benefits on pro forma profits/(losses)
               of the Telinnovation Entities at an assumed rate of 40.3%.
