NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not contain all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary
for a fair presentation of the Company's financial condition as of September 30,
1996 and December 31, 1995, the results of its operations for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, and its cash flows for the nine
month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995. These financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the
Company as of December 31, 1994 and 1995 and for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1995, including notes thereto, included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K (Commission File No. 0-23970).
Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September
30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ending December 31, 1996 or for any other future period.
2. NET INCOME PER SHARE
Net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of
common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the periods. Common
equivalent shares consist of stock options (using the treasury stock method).
Common equivalent shares from stock options are excluded from the computation if
their effect is antidilutive.

5. ACQUISITION OF NUCOM
Effective March 21, 1996 the Company completed its acquisition of NuCom
Systems, Inc. (NuCom), a Taiwan-based company, by purchasing all the outstanding
shares of NuCom in exchange for $11,158,134 in cash, and 440,748 shares of
Network Peripheral's common stock valued at $5,341,866, for an aggregate
purchase price of $17.1 million. The transaction was accounted for using the
purchase method; accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair market values at
the date of acquisition. The research and development in process represents the
estimated current fair market value, using a risk-adjusted income approach, of
specifically identified technologies which had not reached technological
feasibility and had no future uses. The results of operations of NuCom are
included with those of the Company beginning with the quarter ended June 30,
1996. The allocation of the purchase price is as follows (in thousands):
Research and development, in process $ 13,032
Other intangible assets 1,716
Current assets 4,495
Non-current assets 613
Property and equipment 479

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Results of Operations
The forward-looking statements included in the succeeding paragraphs
are made in reliance upon the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Lititgation Reform Act of 1995. The future events described in such statements
involve risks and uncertainties, including:
* the timely development and market acceptance of new products;
* the market demand by customers for the Company's existing products,
including demand by OEM customers for custom products, and the
distribution channels through which such demand is satisfied;
* competitive actions, including pricing actions and the introduction of new
competitive products, that may affect the volume of sales and margins of
the Company's products;
* uninterrupted supply of key components, including semiconductor devices
and other materials, some of which are sourced from a single supplier;
* the cost of materials and components;
* the ability of the Company to recruit, train and retain key personnel,
including engineers and other technical professionals;
* the development of new technologies rendering existing technologies and
products obsolete; and
* resources devoted to developing distribution channels and the success of
these efforts.
In evaluating these forward-looking statements, consideration should also be
given to the Business Risks discussed below in this interim report.
Net Sales
For the three months ended September 30, 1996, net sales were $14.1
million as compared to $9.7 million for the three months ended September 30,
1995, an increase of $4.4 million or 45%. New Fast Ethernet products,
principally switches and switching hubs, accounted for $3.4 million of this
increase. The Company had no sales from Fast Ethernet products in 1995. The
remainder of the increase was attributable to increased sales of FDDI adapter
products, primarily to OEM customers. For the nine months ended September 30,
1996 and 1995, net sales were relatively unchanged at $37.0 million and $36.7
million, respectively. Sales of new Fast Ethernet products, principally switches
and switching hubs, totaled $5.8 million in nine month period, offset by lower
sales of FDDI products, primarily reduced sales of FDDI switching products.
Gross Profit/Margin
Gross margin was 47.5% for the three months ended September 30, 1996,
as compared to 49.4% for the three months ended September 30, 1995. The decrease
was primarily the result of the amortization of intangible assets related to the
acquisition of NuCom Systems, Inc. (the Acqusition) and changes in the product
mix. For the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, gross margins were
44.9% and 47.4%, respectively. The decrease was attributable to amortization of
intangible assets related to the NuCom acquisition, nonrecurring charges in the
first quarter of 1996, including start-up costs for several of the new Fast
Ethernet products and extraordinary costs to expedite production to meet
shipping requirements for certain OEM customers, and changes in product mix.
Continued changes in the product mix and the sales channel mix, variables in the
development, introduction and marketing of a new product line, fluctuations in
the cost of materials and components, as well as competitive factors, may
adversely impact the gross margin in future periods.
Acquired Research and Development In-Process and Product Integration Costs
In the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Company incurred
one-time charges of $13.0 million for the acquisition of in-process research and
development costs and $700,000 for product integration related to the
Acquisition that occurred in March 1996 (refer to Note 5).
Research and Development
Research and development expense was $2.3 million, or 17% of net sales,
for the three months ended September 30, 1996, as compared to $1.1 million, or
11% of net sales, for the corresponding period in 1995. For the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, research and development expenses were $6.3
million, or 17% of sales, and $3.8 million, or 10% of sales, respectively. The
expenses in the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 are net of
8
contract funding of $108,000 and $379,000, respectively, compared to $465,000 in
both the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995. The increase in
expenditures reflected the addition of staff, facilities and equipment resulting
from the Acquisition, as well as costs for new product development. The Company
expects the dollar level of research and development expense to remain
relatively constant during the final quarter of 1996.
Marketing and Selling
Marketing and selling expense was $3.1 million, or 22% of net sales,
for the three months ended September 30, 1996, as compared to $2.1 million, or
21% of net sales, for the corresponding period in 1995. For the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, marketing and selling expenses were $7.8
million, or 21% of net sales, and $5.2 million, or 14% of sales, respectively.
The increase in expenditures reflected the addition of staff, facilities and
equipment resulting from the Acquisition. Additionally, the Company incurred
expenses during 1996 while pursuing its marketing strategy to penetrate the
global markets, including Asia and Europe, and to establish brandname
recognition. The cost of implementing this strategy includes the addition of
sales staff and related overhead costs, and the cost of advertising and
promotional campaigns. The Company expects the dollar level of marketing and
selling expense in the final quarter of 1996 to remain at approximately the
same percentage of net sales as in the most recent quarter.
General and administrative
General and administrative expense was $944,000, or 6.7% of net sales,
for the three months ended September 30, 1996, as compared to $601,000, or 6.2%
of net sales, for the corresponding period in 1995. For the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995, general and administrative expenses were $2.5
million, or 6.7% of sales, and $1.7 million, or 4.5% of sales, respectively. The
increase in expenditures reflected the addition of staff, facilities and
equipment resulting from the Acquisition and additional staff to support the
increased activities of the Company. The Company expects the dollar level of
general and administrative expense to remain relatively constant for the final
quarter of 1996.
Interest Income
Interest income was $424,000 for the three months ended September 30,
1996, as compared to $542,000 for the corresponding period in 1995. For the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, interest income was $1.4 million and
$1.6 million, respectively. The decline in interest income was the result of a
reduced level of invested funds following the Acquisition, which occurred during
the quarter ended March 31, 1996.
Income Taxes
The Company's effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995 was 35%, excluding the non-recurring charge of
in-process research and development, a non-deductible item for tax purposes. The
rate was unchanged from the rate applied throughout 1995 and is less than the
combined federal and state statutory rate due principally to the effects of tax
exempt interest income and tax credits available to the Company.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Company recorded a
loss of $12.6 million due principally to a non-recurring charge for in-process
research and development purchased in connection with the Acquisition.
Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 was $1.5 million, primarily due to a net increase in current
liabilities and a net decrease in other assets, offset in part by an increase in
accounts receivable and inventory. The increases in current liabilities are
attributable principally to a low level of accounts payable at the end of the
prior year and the net decrease in other assets is attributable to the
amortization of intangible assets associated with the Aquisistion and
amortization of prepaid assets. The increase in accounts receivable is primarily
attributable to increased shipments recorded in the quarter ended September 30,
1996.
9
Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September
30, 1996 was $25.4 million, of which $10.4 million, was attributed to the
acquisition of NuCom, reduced by $1.1 million retained in the transaction. The
remainder of the cash used was for the purchase of computer equipment and
short-term investments.
Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 primarily resulted from the issuance of common stock under
the Company's stock option program.
At September 30, 1996, the Company's principal sources of liquidity
were its cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $42.9 million and
its $10 million line of credit. As of September 30, 1996, there were no
borrowings outstanding under the line of credit. The Company believes that its
existing cash balances and funds provided by future operating activities will be
sufficient to meet the Company's capital and operating requirements for the
foreseeable future.
Business Risks
In addition to the factors addressed in the preceding sections, certain
characteristics and dynamics of the Company's markets, technologies and
operations create risks to the Company's long-term success and to predictable
quarterly results. These risks will also affect the Company's ability to achieve
the results anticipated by the forward-looking statements contained in this
interim report. The Company's quarterly results have in the past varied, and are
expected in the future to vary significantly as a result of factors such as the
timing and shipment of significant orders, new product introductions or
technological advances by the Company and its competitors, market acceptance of
new or enhanced versions of the Company's products, changes in pricing policies
by the Company and its competitors, the mix of distribution channels through
which the Company's products are sold, the mix of products sold, the accuracy of
resellers' forecast of end-user demand, the ability of the Company to obtain
sufficient supplies of sole or limited source components for the Company's
products and general economic conditions. In response to competitive pressures
or new product introductions, the Company may take certain pricing or marketing
actions that could materially and adversely affect the Company's operating
results. In the event of a reduction in the prices of its products, the Company
has committed to providing retroactive price adjustments on inventories held by
its distributors, which could have the effect of reducing margins and operating
results. In addition, changes in the mix of products sold and the mix of
distribution channels through which the Company's products are sold may cause
fluctuations in the Company's gross margins. The Company's expense levels are
based, in part, on its expectations of its future revenue and, as a result, net
income would be disproportionately affected by a reduction in revenue. The
absence of significant Company experience with new products limits the Company's
ability to plan for production, market demand and sales and may adversely affect
operating results if the Company misallocates resources to a new product. Due to
the potential quarterly fluctuation in operating results, the Company believes
that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of its results of operations are not
necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as indicators of future
performance.
The markets for the Company's products are characterized by rapidly
changing technology, evolving industry standards, frequent new product
introductions and short product life cycles. These changes can adversely affect
the business and operating results of industry participants. The Company's
success will depend upon its ability to enhance its existing products and to
develop and introduce, on a timely and cost-effective basis, new products that
keep pace with technological developments and emerging industry standards and
address increasingly sophisticated customer requirements. The inability to
develop and manufacture new products in a timely manner, the existence of
reliability, quality or availability problems in the products or their component
parts, the failure to obtain reliable subcontractors for volume production and
testing of mature products, or the failure to achieve market acceptance would
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and operating results.
10
The markets in which the Company competes are also characterized by
intense competition. Several of the Company's competitors have significantly
broader product offerings and greater financial, technical, marketing and other
resources and finished installed bases than the Company. These larger
competitors may also be able to obtain higher priority for their products from
distributors and other resellers that carry products of many companies. A number
of the Company's competitors were recently acquired, which is likely to permit
these competitors to devote significantly greater resources to the development
and marketing of competitive products. These competitive pressures could
adversely affect the Company's business and operating results.
