NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form
10-Q have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
information and footnote disclosures, normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have been
condensed or omitted, pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the
Company's 1996 Annual Report and Form 10-K.
The condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein as of
March 31, 1997 and for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 1997 and
1996, reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which, with the
exception of the restructuring charge, consist only of normal, recurring
adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial
position and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the
periods presented. The consolidated results of operations for any interim
period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
2. INVESTMENT IN AETHERWORKS CORPORATION
Through March 31, 1997, under a financing arrangement, the Company purchased
$8,796,525 of convertible notes from AetherWorks Corporation, a development
stage company engaged in the development of wireless and dial-up remote access
technology. At March 31, 1997, the Company is obligated to purchase up to an
additional $5 million of convertible notes from time to time at the request of
AetherWorks, based on certain conditions. The convertible notes held by the
Company at March 31, 1997 are convertible into 56.2% of AetherWorks' common
stock, and upon the purchase of the additional $5 million of convertible notes,
the Company's ownership interest upon conversion would increase to 62.7%, based
on AetherWorks' present capitalization. In connection with the financing
arrangement, the Company has also guaranteed $2.8 million of lease obligations
of AetherWorks.
The Company has reported its investment in AetherWorks on the equity method
and has reported losses of $1,589,681 and $3,109,470 for the three month and
six month periods ended March 31, 1997, and recorded losses of $655,990 and
$935,297 for the corresponding three and six month periods ended March 31,
1996. Such losses represent 100% of the AetherWorks net losses for these
periods. The percentage of AetherWorks' net losses included in the Company's
financial statements is based upon the percentage of financial support
provided by the Company (versus other investors) to AetherWorks during such
periods.

3. INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined
on the first-in, first-out method. Inventories at March 31, 1997 and
September 30, 1996 consisted of the following:
March 31 September 30
-------- ------------
Raw materials $12,786,935 $19,145,019
Work in process 9,061,793 10,469,315
Finished goods 8,160,715 3,757,830
4. (LOSS) INCOME PER SHARE
Net (loss) income per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the
weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding
during each period. Common stock equivalents result from dilutive stock
options. No common stock equivalents were included in determining the
weighted average common and common stock equivalents outstanding for the
three and six month periods ended March 31, 1997, because their effect would
be antidilutive.
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 128 "Earnings Per Share." This Statement establishes standards for
computing and presenting basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) for
financial statements issued for both interim and annual periods ending after
December 15, 1997. The adoption of this Statement will not have a material
effect on the Company's reported EPS.
5. RESTRUCTURING CHARGE
During the three month period ended March 31, 1997, the Company's Board of
Directors approved a restructuring plan which resulted in a restructuring
charge of $10,471,482 ($8,283,681, net of tax benefits or $0.62 per share).
The restructuring charge related to the closing of the Cleveland
manufacturing facility, the reduction of selected product lines and the
consolidation and closing of certain research and development facilities.
These costs included (i) write downs of the carrying values of fixed assets
related to the closed manufacturing and research and development facilities,
(ii) write downs of the carrying values of goodwill and identifiable
intangible assets (primarily licensing agreements related to the discontinued
product lines) and related inventories and (iii) the accrual of severance
costs associated with the elimination of 105 positions (total workforce
reduction was 150).
7
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
5. RESTRUCTURING CHARGE (CONTINUED)
The restructuring charge consists of $1,449,979 in cash expenditures
(primarily severance), of which $201,121 had been paid as of March 31, 1997,
and $9,021,503 resulting from the write down of asset carrying values. As of
March 31, 1997, $9,222,624 had been charged to this restructuring reserve and
the remaining reserve of $1,248,858 is expected to be essentially utilized
during fiscal 1997.
6. RECLASSIFICATION OF REBATE EXPENSES
Rebates to customers of approximately $525,000 and $675,000 for the three and
six month periods ended March 31, 1996, now reflected as a reduction of
sales, were previously included in sales and marketing expenses. This
reclassification had no impact on previously reported operating income, net
income or stockholders' equity.
7. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Discussion of legal matters is incorporated by reference from Part II, Item I
of this Form 10-Q "Legal Proceedings" and should be considered an integral
part of these Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and Accompanying
Notes.

REVIEW REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of
Digi International Inc.:
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of
Digi International Inc. and Subsidiaries as of March 31, 1997, and the
related condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three month
and six month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 and cash flows for the
six month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. These condensed
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures
to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial
and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit
conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the
objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial
statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to
above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1996, and the
related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the year
then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated December 20, 1996,
we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial
statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying
condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1996, is fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet
from which it has been derived.

NET SALES
Sales for the three month and six month periods ended March 31, 1997 were
lower than sales for the corresponding periods ended March 31, 1996 by
$7,580,053 and $9,060,101 or 15.8% and 9.9%, respectively. The majority of
decline was primarily due to a conscious effort by the Company to reduce
inventory levels in the distribution channel in the three month period ended
March 31, 1997 and softness in demand for networking products during the
first quarter of fiscal 1997. In addition, sales for the three month and six
month periods ended March 31, 1997 were also reduced by customer rebates of
$700,750 and $2,000,750, respectively, an increase in such rebates of
$175,750 and $1,325,750, respectively, over the corresponding period ended
March 31, 1996. Such increases were due to providing incentives to the
distribution market in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 that carried over
into the second quarter.
10
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONTINUED)
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Net sales to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), as a percentage of
total net sales, rose to 25.0% and 22.4% for the three and six month periods
ended March 31, 1997, as compared to 20.7% and 17.6% for the comparable
periods in 1996. Sequentially, net sales from OEMs for the three month
period ended March 31, 1997 increased 5.1% as compared to the three month
period ended December 31, 1996. The increase for the three month period was
due primarily to seasonal replenishment by OEM customers. The Company expects
the OEM portion of the Company's business to remain relatively stable with
the current level in the third quarter.
Net sales from the distribution markets, as a percentage of total sales,
declined to 60.6% and 64.8% for the three month and six month periods ended
March 31, 1997, as compared to 65.1% and 67.6% for the comparable periods for
1996. Sequentially, sales from the distribution market for the three month
period ended March 31, 1997 declined 8.4%, as compared to the three month
period ended December 31, 1996. The decline was due primarily to a conscious
effort to reduce inventory levels in the distribution channel in the three
month period ended March 31, 1997.
The effort by the Company to reduce inventory levels in the distribution
channel is expected to continue in the third quarter.
GROSS MARGIN
Gross margin for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 1997
declined to 47.8% and 47.1%, respectively, as compared to 52.9% and 53.6% for
the comparable periods in 1996. Such decline was principally due to the
increase of OEM and LAN Connect net sales as a percentage of total net sales.
Net sales of OEM and LAN Connect products generally provide lower gross
margins, as compared to sales made through the distribution markets. In
addition, due to the lower sales levels for the three and six month periods
ended March 31, 1997, which are anticipated to continue into the third
quarter of 1997, the Company has increased its reserves for excess and
obsolete inventories by approximately $300,000 and $1,500,000 in the three
and six month periods ended March 31, 1997.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 increased
66.5% over operating expenses for the corresponding period ended March 31,
1996 and increased as a percentage of sales to 72% for the three month period
ended March 31, 1997 from 36.4% for the three month period ended March 31,
1996. Operating expenses for the six month period ended March 31, 1997
increased by 47.6% over the corresponding period ended March 31, 1996, and
11
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONTINUED)
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
OPERATING EXPENSES (CONTINUED)
increased as a percentage of sales to 61% for the six month period ended
March 31, 1997, from 37.3% for the corresponding period in 1996. These
increases were due principally to the restructuring charge of $10.5 million,
recorded in the three month period ended March 31, 1997. The restructuring
charge related to the closing of the Cleveland manufacturing facility, the
elimination of selected product lines and the consolidation and closing of
certain research and development facilities. These costs included (i) write
downs of the carrying values of fixed assets related to the closed
manufacturing and research and development facilities, (ii) write downs of
the carrying values of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets (primarily
licensing agreements related to the discontinued product lines) and related
inventories and (iii) the accrual of severance costs associated with the
elimination of 105 positions (total workforce reduction was 150).
The increases in operating expense also resulted partially from increased
general and administration expenses due to the opening of new research and
development facilities in Huntsville, Ala. and Redmond, Wash in the second
half of fiscal 1996. In addition, general and administrative expenses
increased due to severance expenses, not a part of the restructuring
previously discussed, and expansion and upgrades to the Company's
infrastructure.
Sales and marketing, research and development and general and administrative
costs declined from $23.3 million and $21.4 million in the three month
periods ended September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1996, respectively, to
$18.6 million in the three month period ended March 31, 1997. Such decline
was due to decreased marketing costs and a reduction of funding levels for
new product development. The Company expects to continue to reduce such
costs during the remainder of fiscal 1997.
OTHER INCOME
Other income for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 1997
decreased to $127,203 and $226,234, respectively, as compared to $151,275 and
$544,635 for the corresponding periods in 1996. The decline was due to lower
interest income resulting from a decrease in invested funds.
AETHERWORKS CORPORATION NET LOSS
In connection with the purchase of convertible notes from AetherWorks
Corporation, a development stage company engaged in the development of
wireless and dial-up remote access technology, the Company has the ability,
under certain conditions, to convert its investment into a majority of
AetherWorks' common stock. The Company has reported its investment in
AetherWorks on the equity method and has recorded $1,589,681 and $3,109,470
of net losses for

AETHERWORKS CORPORATION NET LOSS (CONTINUED)
the three and six month periods ended March 31, 1997, respectively. The
Company recorded AetherWorks net losses of $655,990 and $935,297 for the
corresponding three and six month periods ended March 31, 1996. These net
losses represent 100% of AetherWork's net losses for such periods. The
percentage of AetherWorks' net losses included in the Company's financial
statements is based upon the percentage of financial support provided by the
Company (versus other investors) to AetherWorks during such periods. The
Company anticipates that AetherWorks' net losses for the remainder of fiscal
1997 will be at levels similar to or higher than those incurred during the
three and six month periods ended March 31, 1997.
INCOME TAXES
Due to the net losses incurred in both the three and six month periods ended
March 31, 1997, the Company has recorded an income tax benefit of $1,843,473
and $2,425,905, respectively. Such benefits are not higher due to the
non-deductibility of certain intangible assets written off as part of the
restructuring charge and the AetherWorks net losses.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company has financed its operations principally with funds generated from
operations and proceeds from earlier public offerings. Investing activities
for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 1997 consisted of
purchases of equipment and capital improvements, including a new enterprise
wide computer system, and the purchase of additional convertible notes from
AetherWorks Corporation. Such notes purchases totaled $1.5 million and $3.5
million in the three and six month periods ended March 31,1997, respectively.
As of March 31, 1997, the Company is obligated to purchase up to an additional
$5 million in convertible notes from time to time at the request of
AetherWorks. See also Note 2 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements.
At March 31, 1997, the Company had working capital of $64 million and no
debt. The Company has negotiated a $5 million unsecured line of credit with
its bank, but has not utilized such line. The Company's management believes
that current financial resources, cash generated from operations and the
Company's potential capacity for debt and/or equity financing will be
sufficient to fund current and anticipated business operations, including the
Company's obligation to purchase additional convertible notes from
AetherWorks Corporation.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
Substantially all of the Company's foreign transactions are negotiated,
invoiced and paid in U.S. dollars.

INFLATION
Management believes inflation has not had a material effect on the Company's
operations or on its financial position.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements made above, which are summarized below, are
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, and actual
results may be materially different. Factors that could cause actual results
to differ include those identified below:
THE EXPECTATION THAT THE OEM PORTION OF THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS WILL REMAIN
RELATIVELY STABLE WITH THE CURRENT LEVEL IN THE THIRD QUARTER. This
expectation may be impacted by unanticipated revenue opportunities or changes
in ordering levels that may reduce current levels of net sales to OEMs.
THE EFFORT TO REDUCE INVENTORY LEVELS IN THE DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL WILL CONTINUE
IN THE NEXT QUARTER. General market conditions and competitive conditions
within these markets may impact sales levels either unfavorably or favorably.
THE EXPECTATION THAT LOWER SALES LEVELS ARE ANTICIPATED TO CONTINUE INTO THE
THIRD QUARTER OF 1997. General market conditions and competitive conditions
within these markets may impact sales levels either unfavorably or favorably.
THE EXPECTATION THAT THE REDUCTION IN SALES AND MARKETING, RESEARCH AND
DEVELOPMENT AND GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS WILL CONTINUE DURING THE
REMAINDER OF FISCAL 1997. This expectation may be impacted by presently
unanticipated revenue opportunities or by unanticipated expenses.
THE EXPECTATION THAT THE AETHERWORKS CORPORATION NET LOSSES FOR THE REMAINDER
OF FISCAL 1997 WILL BE SIMILAR OR GREATER THAN THOSE INCURRED DURING THE
THREE AND SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997. This expectation may be
impacted by presently unanticipated revenue opportunities or by unanticipated
expenses.
THE BELIEF THAT THE COMPANY'S CURRENT FINANCIAL RESOURCES, CASH GENERATED
FROM OPERATIONS AND THE COMPANY'S POTENTIAL CAPACITY FOR DEBT AND/OR EQUITY
FINANCING WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO FUND CURRENT AND ANTICIPATED BUSINESS
OPERATIONS. Changes in anticipated operating results, credit availability
and equity market conditions may further enhance or inhibit the Company's
ability to maintain or raise appropriate levels of cash.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On January 3, 1997, the Company and certain of its previous officers were
named as defendants in a putative securities class action lawsuit in the
United States District Court for the District of Minnesota on behalf of an
alleged class of purchasers of its common stock during the period January 25,
1996, through December 23, 1996, inclusive, which is captioned DENNIS
D'HONDT, INDIVIDUALLY AND ON BEHALF OF ALL PERSONS SIMILARLY SITUATED,
PLAINTIFF, VS. DIGI INTERNATIONAL INC., ERVIN F. KAMM, JR., GERALD A. WALL,
AND GARY L. DEANER, DEFENDANTS. The complaint in the action alleges the
Company and certain of its previous officers violated federal securities laws
by, among other things, misrepresenting and/or omitting material information
concerning the Company's operations and financial results. The complaint
seeks compensatory damages in an unspecified amount plus interest against all
defendants, jointly and severally, and an award of attorneys' fees, experts'
fees and costs.
On January 17, 1997, February 6, 1997 and February 14, 1997, three additional
putative securities class action lawsuits were filed in the United States
District Court for the District of Minnesota captioned RUTH LINEHAN,
INDIVIDUALLY AND ON BEHALF OF ALL PERSONS SIMILARLY SITUATED, PLAINTIFF AND
RUSSELL SIEGEL AND ANNE BUTLER, AS EXECUTRIX OF THE ESTATE OF MICHAEL BUTLER,
ON BEHALF OF THEMSELVES AND ALL OTHER SIMILARLY SITUATED, PAUL HOLM,
INDIVIDUALLY AND ON BEHALF OF ALL PERSONS SIMILARLY SITUATED, PLAINTIFFS, VS.
DIGI INTERNATIONAL INC., ERVIN F. KAMM, JR., GERALD A. WALL, AND GARY L.
DEANER, DEFENDANTS, which make the same allegations against the same
defendants as those asserted in the lawsuit described in the previous
paragraph.
On February 25, 1997, an additional securities lawsuit was filed in the
United States District Court for the District of Minnesota captioned
LOUISIANA STATE EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT SYSTEM IN BEHALF OF ITSELF AND IN BEHALF
OF ALL OTHER PARTIES SIMILARLY SITUATED AND CIRCUMSTANCED WHO DESIRE TO
PERSONALLY JOIN IN THIS ACTION AND TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE COSTS AND EXPENSES
THEREOF, PLAINTIFFS, VS. DIGI INTERNATIONAL INC., GARY L DEANER, ERVIN F.
KAMM, JR., GERALD A. WALL, AND "JOHN DOE AND "RICHARD ROE" BEING FICTITIOUS,
THE PARTIES INTENDED BEING THOSE PARTIES, PRESENTLY UNKNOWN TO THE PLAINTIFF,
WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE WRONGFUL ACTS SET FORTH HEREIN, DEFENDANTS, which
make the same allegations as those asserted in the lawsuit described in the
first paragraph above. This lawsuit, unlike the other lawsuits, is not a
class action.
On March 7, 1997, an additional securities class action lawsuit was filed in
the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota captioned
EDWARD HENRY CHAPMAN, III ON BEHALF OF HIMSELF AND ALL OTHERS SIMILARLY
SITUATED, PLAINTIFF, VS. DIGI INTERNATIONAL INC.; ERVIN F. KAMM, JR.; GERALD
A. WALL; JONATHON E. KILLMER; AND GARY L. DEANER, DEFENDANTS, which make the
same allegations as those asserted in the lawsuit described in the first
paragraph above.
By Memorandum Order dated April 2, 1997, the District Court consolidated all
of the above lawsuits for pretrial purposes, and consolidated the five class
action lawsuits for all purposes including trial. The District Court
appointed 21 persons to serve as lead plaintiffs in the consolidated class
actions, and granted the lead plaintiffs 30 days from April 2, 1997 within
which to file and serve a consolidated class action complaint that will
supersede the five separate complaints. To date, plaintiffs have not filed
or served a consolidated class action complaint.
