NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited 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 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 June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the results of its operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, and its cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996, 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 six month period ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1997 or for any other future period. 2. NET LOSS PER SHARE Net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during these 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. Net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. Common stock equivalents have been excluded from the calculation of weighted average shares as a result of the operating losses in the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. 3.

ACQUISITION OF NETVISION Effective April 29, 1997, the Company acquired NetVision Corporation (NetVision), a privately held company engaged in the development of very high bandwidth LAN switching and Gigabit Ethernet technologies. The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method at a cost of $6.5 million, including payments to NetVision stockholders, the assumption of certain liabilities, and transaction expenses. The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair market values at the date of acquisition. The research and development in process represents the estimated current fair market value of specified technologies, which had not reached technological feasibility and had no future uses. The allocation of the purchase price is as follows in (thousands): Research and development, in process $ 6,462 Goodwill 200 Assets 44 Liabilities assumed (257) ------- $ 6,449 ======= 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 Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The future events described in such statements involve risks and uncertainties, including: o the timely development and market acceptance of new products; o 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; o competitive actions, including pricing actions and the introduction of new competitive products, that may affect the volume of sales of the Company's products; o uninterrupted supply of key components, including semiconductor devices and other materials, some of which are sourced from a single supplier; o the cost of materials and components; o the ability of the Company to recruit, train and retain key personnel, including engineers and other technical professionals; o the development of new technologies rendering existing technologies and products obsolete; and o general market conditions. In evaluating these forward-looking statements, consideration should also be given to the Business Risks discussed below in this interim report. Net Sales Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1997 were $10.6 million, as compared to $12.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996, a decrease of 17%. Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1997 were $22.6 million, as compared to $22.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996, a decrease of 1%. The decreases in the three and six month periods reflected price reductions resulting from competitive pressures and a decline in shipments of the Company's FDDI adapters, offset in part by increased shipments of Fast Ethernet switching products. Net sales of Fast Ethernet products increased to 30% and 29% of total sales in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997, respectively, as compared to 17% and 11% in the comparable periods in 1996, respectively, reflecting increased demand for products based on Fast Ethernet technology. As a result of its declining sales in mature FDDI product lines, the Company does not expect growth in sales for future periods in 1997. Gross Profit/Margin Gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was 39%, as compared to 47% for the three months ended June 30, 1996. The decrease was attributed to price reductions, price credits associated with those price reductions, and non-recurring charges, including the write-off of excess FDDI inventory and the costs associated with the transfer of production of FDDI products from internal operations to an external turnkey-manufacturing partner. Gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was 44%, as compared to 43% for the six months ended June 30, 1996. Non-recurring charges and adjustments for excess inventory were primary contributors for the lower than historical gross margin for both six month periods in 1997 and 1996. Additionally, price reductions and credits also contributed to the low gross margin in the 1997 period. The Company does not believe the gross margin for the three and six month periods are indicative of future gross margins. The Company believes that gross margins will improve to historical levels to the extent the Company is able to increase sales of higher margin Fast Ethernet products and to minimize non-recurring charges. However, due to the Company's lack of experience with turnkey manufacturing, competitive price pressures, fluctuations in the cost of materials and components, product and channel mix, and other factors, the Company may be unable to improve gross margin. Acquired Research and Development In-Process For the quarter ended June 30, 1997, the Company incurred a non-recurring charge of $6.5 million for in-process research and development costs related to the acquisition of NetVision Corporation (refer to Note 6). Research and Development Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1997 were $2.4 million, or 22% of net sales, as compared to $2.3 million, or 18% of net sales, for the corresponding period in 1996. For the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, research and development expenses were $4.8 million, or 21% of sales, and $4.0 million, or 17% of sales, respectively. The expenses in the three and six month periods in 1997 are net of contract funding of $168,000 and $217,000, respectively. For the three and six month periods in 1996 contract funding was $121,000 and $271,000, respectively. The increase in expenditures in the three and six month periods reflected the addition of staff, facilities and equipment resulting from the acquisitions of NetVision and NuCom. The increase is also attributable to the development of new technologies, including Gigabit Ethernet, and the enhancement and expansion of existing technologies, including Ethernet switching and network management. The Company believes it is essential to continue this level of investment in research and development and expects the dollar level of spending will increase in the future periods of 1997. Marketing and Selling Marketing and selling expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1997 were $4.0 million, or 37% of net sales, compared to $2.7 million, or 21% of net sales, for the corresponding period in 1996. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, and 1996, marketing and selling expenses were $7.8 million, or 35% of sales, and $4.7 million, or 21% of sales, respectively. The increase in expenditures in both three and six month periods reflected the addition of staff, facilities and equipment resulting from the acquisition of NuCom. Additionally, the Company continued to incur expenses pursuing its marketing strategy to penetrate the global markets and to establish brand name recognition. The cost of implementing this strategy included the addition of sales staff and related overhead costs, and the cost of advertising and promotional campaigns, and trade shows. The Company expects to realign its marketing resources and focus on increasing its OEM customer base. This renewed strategy is expected to decrease total expenditures for marketing and selling in future periods of 1997. General and Administrative General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1997 were $1.2 million, or 11% of net sales, compared to $951,000, or 7% of net sales, in the corresponding period in 1996. For the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, general and administrative expenses were $2.5 million, or 11% of sales, and $1.5 million, or 7% of sales, respectively. The increase in expenditures reflected the addition of staff, facilities and equipment resulting from the acquisition of NuCom. Additionally, to enhance the Company's information system infrastructure to support future growth, the Company incurred costs associated with increased staffing, equipment and overhead. The Company expects the dollar level of general and administrative expenses to remain relatively unchanged in the future periods of 1997. Interest Income Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was $369,000, compared to $374,000 in the corresponding period in 1996. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, and 1996, interest income was $783,000, and $929,000, respectively. The decrease was the result of reduced level of invested funds as a result of operating losses and the acquisitions of NetVision and NuCom. Income Taxes The Company recorded a tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 using an effective tax rate of 35%. In recording the benefit, the Company expects to carry-back its net operating loss to prior years. In the three months ended June 30, 1996, the Company recorded a tax provision using an effective tax rate of 35%, less than the statutory rate as a result of tax exempt interest income. Liquidity and Capital Resources For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company recorded a net loss of $9.1 million, of which, $6.5 million was due to a non-recurring charge for in-process research and development purchased in connection with the acquisition of NetVision. Cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $5.5 million, primarily due to the operating loss for the period of $4.2 million, net of the non-recurring charge for in process research and development of $6.5 million, and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $2.0 million, of which $6.5 million was attributed to the acquisition of NetVision, offset in part by the sale of short term investments of $6.0 million. The remainder of the cash was used for the purchase of equipment to enhance the information system infrastructure. Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $667,000 resulting from the exercise of stock options. At June 30, 1997, the Company's principal sources of liquidity were its cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $33.1 million, and $10.0 million available for borrowing under the Company's line of credit. As of June 30, 1997, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Company's bank line of credit. The Company believes that its balance of cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, and available borrowing capacity will be sufficient to meet the Company's capital and operating requirements for the foreseeable future. Acquisition Effective April 29, 1997, the Company acquired NetVision Corporation. Refer to Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. 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. 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. 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. These competitive pressures could adversely affect the Company's business and operating results. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 4.
