ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.
On March 16, 2000, Netrix Corporation, a Delaware corporation doing business
under the name Nx Networks ("Nx Networks"), completed its acquisition of
AetherWorks Corporation, a privately held Minnesota corporation that provides
innovative voice and data carrier class convergence solutions for the
telecommunications industry ("AetherWorks"). The acquisition was effected
through the merger of AetherWorks with and into Nx1 Acquisition Corp., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Nx Networks (the "Merger"), pursuant to an Agreement
of Plan of Merger executed by all three parties, dated as of December 31, 1999.
In the Merger, Nx Networks issued 2,622,000 shares of its common stock for all
outstanding shares of AetherWorks. Each holder of an option or warrant to
acquire AetherWorks common stock became entitled to acquire 1.377 shares of Nx
Networks common stock per AetherWorks share originally underlying the option or
warrant, and the exercise price per share was reduced proportionately.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, a further adjustment will be made to
the merger consideration if the closing price of Nx Networks common stock on the
Nasdaq Stock Market for the 15 trading day period ended October 31, 2000 does
not equal or exceed $22.50 per share. In such event, additional shares of Nx
Networks common stock will be issued such that the consideration per share of
AetherWorks common stock is equal to $22.50 per share based upon that average
closing price; provided the total number of shares of Nx Networks common stock
issued in the Merger will not exceed 19.9% of the total Nx Networks outstanding
shares.
The Merger constituted a tax-free reorganization.

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
AetherWorks Corporation (the "Company") was formed on February 24, 1993 as a
development stage company engaged in the design and development of hardware and
software which will integrate voice and data. In addition, the software
developed provides a computer telephony framework on which software applications
can operate in the telephony environment.
2. GOING CONCERN
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has
accumulated a deficit during its development stage. The Company may be unable to
maintain solvency unless it continues to obtain additional financing to continue
as a going concern. The Company intends to obtain additional debt or equity
financing in fiscal 2000 to fund operations.
Because of uncertainties regarding the achievability of management's plans, no
assurances can be given as to the Company's ability to continue in existence.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible
future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amount
and classification of liabilities that my result from the possible inability of
the Company to continue as a going concern.
3. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

herein have been prepared by the Company in accordance with general accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for

disclosures required for complete financial statements are not included herein.
It is recommended that these condensed financial statements be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and related notes of the Company as
reported on Netrix Corporation Form S-3 (No. 333-96165) filed with the SEC in
February 2000.
In the opinion of management all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring
adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed
consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at the
dates and for the periods presented have been included. The condensed balance
sheet presented as of September 30, 1999 has been derived from the financial
statements that have been audited by the Company's independent public
accountants. The results of operations for the three months ended December 31,
1999 may not be indicative of future results.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three
months or less than purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are
carried at cost which approximates market value.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets of three to five years.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred.

Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial
statements to conform to the current period presentation.

(b) Pro Forma Financial Information.
NETRIX UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The following unaudited pro forma Consolidated Statement of Operations of NX
Networks for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and the year ended December
31, 1999 illustrate the effect of the mergers with OpenROUTE and AetherWorks.
The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations assume that the
mergers with OpenROUTE and AetherWorks were completed as of the beginning of the
periods presented, January 1, 2000 and January 1, 1999, respectively. Certain
reclassifications have been made to OpenROUTE and AetherWorks' financial
statements to conform with NX Networks presentation.
Under the terms of the OpenROUTE transaction, the holders of OpenROUTE common
stock and stock options received one share of NX Networks common stock for each
OpenROUTE share converted. Under the terms of the AetherWorks transaction,
options will receive an aggregate of l.38 shares of NX Networks common stock.
ACCOUNTING TREATMENT
NX Networks recorded the OpenROUTE and AetherWorks mergers as purchase
transactions. For accounting purposes, NX Networks is deemed to be the acquiring
corporation in each merger.
The pro forma adjustments are based upon currently available information and
assumptions that Netrix management believes are reasonable and certain
information provided by OpenROUTE management and AetherWorks management. NX
Networks will account for each merger based upon the estimated fair market value
of the net tangible assets, intangible assets and liabilities acquired at the
date of acquisition. The adjustments included in the Unaudited Pro Forma
Consolidated Financial Statements represent the preliminary determination of
these adjustments based upon available information. NX Networks cannot assure
you that the actual adjustments will not differ significantly from the pro forma
adjustments reflected in the Unaudited Pro Forma consolidated Financial
Statements.
For illustrative purposes, NX Networks has made a preliminary allocation of
excess cost over estimated net assets acquire to goodwill as OpenROUTE's assets
and liabilities are estimated to approximate fair value. The final allocation of
purchase price to asset and liabilities acquired will depend upon the final
purchase price and final estimates of fair values of assets and liabilities of
OpenROUTE at the closing date. NX Networks will undertake a study to determine
the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired and will allocate the purchase
price accordingly. NX Networks believes that the carrying value of current
assets and current liabilities approximated fair value and that the excess of
cost over historical net assets acquired will be allocated to property and
equipment, goodwill and other identifiable intangibles. However, there can be no
assurance that the actual allocation will not differ significantly form the pro
forma allocation.
For illustrative purposes, NX Networks has made a preliminary allocation of
excess cost over estimated net assets acquired to goodwill as AetherWorks'
assets and liabilities are estimated to approximate fair value. For purposes of
this Pro forma Financial Information, NX Networks assumed the price per share to
be $22.50, as guaranteed in the merger agreement. NX Networks also engaged an
independent third party to determine the amount of the excess purchase price
related to purchased in-process research and development. The final allocation
of purchase price to assets and liabilities acquired will depend upon the final
purchase price and final estimated of fair values of assets and liabilities of
AetherWorks at closing date. NX Networks will undertake a study to determine the
fair values of assets and liabilities acquired and will allocate the purchase
price accordingly. NX Networks believes that the carrying value of current
assets and current liabilities approximated fair value and that the excess of
cost over historical net assets acquired will be allocated to property and
equipment, in-process research and development, goodwill and other identifiable
intangibles. However, there can be no assurance that the actual allocation will
not differ significantly form the pro forma allocation.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements are not necessarily
indicative of either future results of operations or results that might have
been achieved if the mergers with OpenROUTE and AetherWorks had been consummated
as of the indicated dates. The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial
Statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial
statements of NX Networks, OpenROUTE, and AetherWorks, together with the related
notes thereto, which are incorporated by reference into this registration
statement.
