Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements containing the words "believes, "anticipates," "expects," "estimates" and words of similar import. The Company's actual results could differ materially from any forward-looking statements, which reflect management's opinions only as of the date of this report, as a result of such risks and uncertainties. The Company undertakes no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements. Readers should carefully review the risk factors set forth below in "Risk Factors" and in other documents the Company files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Item 1. Description of Business Entrada Networks, Inc., through its three wholly owned subsidiaries, is in the business of developing, marketing and selling products for network connectivity. Our Torrey Pines Networks ("Torrey Pines") segment is currently in the design, development and product introduction phase and we are working toward the manufacture, marketing and selling of storage area network ("SAN") transport products. Our Rixon Networks ("Rixon") segment designs, manufactures, markets and sells a line of fast and gigabit Ethernet products that are incorporated into the remote access and other server products of Original Equipment Manufacturers ("OEM"). In addition, some of its products are deployed by telecommunications network operators, applications service providers, internet service providers, and the operators of corporate local area and wide area networks for the purpose of providing access to and transport within their networks. Our Sync Research ("Sync") segment designs, manufactures, markets, sells and services frame relay products for some of the major financial institutions in the U.S. and abroad. In September 2000, our Board of Directors concluded that the operations of our frame relay business would not contribute to our profitability or toward our goal of entering the storage area networking market space and adopted a formal plan to discontinue the Sync business. On September 6, 2001, we announced a restructuring plan creating three separate wholly owned subsidiaries. The discontinued frame relay business was retained as Sync Research, Inc. as one of the three subsidiaries. Sync Research, Inc. continues to serve its current frame relay customers and provide manufacturing, service and repair facilities for the other subsidiaries. On September 18, 2001 our Board of Directors approved a plan to reclassify Sync Research as an operating unit. In this capacity, Sync Research, Inc. became an integral part of Entrada Networks. Our financial statements reflect the retained financial position of the frame relay business. Prior financial periods have been reclassified to reflect the Sync retention. Unless otherwise specifically noted, this Annual Report refers to the Entrada business that includes our Rixon Networks, Sync Research, and Torrey Pines subsidiaries. Understanding Our Market (A glossary can be found beginning on page 12 for technical terms used throughout this document.) Our Strategic Plan o Develop Storage over Light Transport Products. Torrey Pines has been engaged in developing the next generation products that extend the range of the storage area networks. We have received certifications for our first Silverline'TM'-CWDM product line, and are in the process of introducing it into the market. Designed to interconnect geographically separate data centers, the Silverline'TM'-CWDM is our first fully optical Linux based 8-channel/4-port coarse wave division multiplexing ("CWDM") product line that is based on our patent-pending technology. It is a multi-protocol aggregation device that supports Fibre Channel, Gigabit Ethernet, fibre connectivity ("FICON") or enterprise system connection ("ESCON") to a mainframe and SONET, on one fully customized system. o Continue Providing Network Connectivity Products. Rixon continues providing products including network interface, or "adapter," cards that allow computers, servers, load balancers and other devices to connect to a local area network ("LAN"). These network interface cards support both the widely employed fast Ethernet protocol and the emerging gigabit Ethernet protocol. Our products have already achieved acceptance among OEM's of server and other network products. 1 <Page> o Continue Providing Services to Business Critical Applications Needing Packetized Frame Relay Devices. Sync develops, manufactures, markets, supports and sells wide-area network ("WAN") access and management products and services designed to economically and reliably support business critical applications across carrier provided packetized transmission services, such as frame relay. Frame relay is a low-latency frame-switched WAN protocol recognized for, its deployment flexibility and its ability to combine incompatible "protocols," such as International Business Machines Corporation's mainframe Systems Network Architecture ("SNA") and client/server Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol ("TCP/IP"), onto a single telecommunications circuit. Frame relay represents a cost-effective and stable technology that provides a smooth migration to asynchronous transfer mode and other broadband services generally used in the backbone of many of these service providers. Sync's strategy is to produce reliable and value-added network access devices and management software applications that are engineered to support mission-critical applications over frame relay and other digital services at a favorable cost of ownership. Sync's FrameNode'TM'- line of frame relay access devices and frame relay access routers converge business critical SNA, IP/IPX and voice/fax branch applications across frame relay. Sync's circuit management solutions consist of WAN probes and application software that improve the availability and performance of frame relay networks by providing extensive problem isolation and troubleshooting capabilities and proactive performance and service-level management. Sync's TyLink'TM'- line of digital transmission products including data service units and channel service units ("DSU/CSU") and Integrated Services Digital Network ("ISDN") termination products, are the basic elements that provide low cost connectivity to a digital WAN. Today, many mainframe or similarly hosted data networks use expensive leased lines to connect remote sites to central computing facilities or data centers. Due to favorable carrier pricing and technical suitability, frame relay is a less expensive, more efficient, direct substitute for such traditional leased line connections and due to its maturity, is stable as compared to other technology based alternatives, including the internet or other IP based services. Sync sells to resellers, distributors, OEM partners and a number of Regional Bell Operating Companies and Inter-exchange Carriers. Current partners include, AT&T, MCI WorldCom, Electronic Data Systems and Geico. Sync believes that its relationships provide sufficient alternative channels of fulfillment to serve the needs of middle and upper market customers. Also, Sync utilizes a distribution and value-added reseller ("VAR") channel as a primary distribution channels for its digital transmission products. Markets for Our Products Our products address the growing connectivity needs for networked high bandwidth data communications. The networking industry has experienced dramatic growth since the early 1990's as corporations discovered increasing value in connecting desktop devices through local area networks. The emergence of the Internet as a cost-efficient data transport medium accelerated this movement and moved the revenue opportunity beyond the LAN to the MAN and WAN environments. Our products address the demand for connectivity solutions in the traditional data networking markets plus the emerging market for storage area networking. There can be no assurance that the prospects for growth cited in the following discussion regarding the traditional data networking markets or of the storage area networking market will prove accurate. Storage Area Networking Market The technology behind storage area networks is similar to that of LANs and WANs. Storage area networks are essentially separate local area networks that consist of servers, storage devices (such as disc drives) and the networking equipment used to connect and route traffic among them. These devices include adapters, hubs, switches and routers supporting the Fibre Channel standard. Storage area networks create a shared storage resource that is readily available, highly scalable and designed to be easily protected and managed. While storage area networks are not new, we believe that trends already under way will move them into the mainstream of distributed networking and that they may likely become the standard way of accessing stored information. 2 <Page> Sales and Marketing Rixon's current sales and marketing activities are concentrated on increasing market and account penetration for the existing fast and gigabit Ethernet network connectivity product lines whose customers are primarily OEM server, computer and peripheral vendors. Torrey Pines' is concentrating on gaining customer acceptance of the Silverline'TM'-CWDM product line by large OEMs. Sync's sales and marketing strategy focuses on developing relationships with end-user middle market enterprises through its existing customer base and promote Sync's products and drive demand for its products and services. The primary roles of Sync's sales efforts are (i) to assist end user customers in addressing complex network problems; (ii) to differentiate the features and capabilities of Sync's products from competitive offerings; and (iii) provide support to channel partners. Our sales and marketing organization for the three subsidiaries at January 31, 2003 consisted of six (6) individuals, including managers, sales representatives, and support personnel. The current channel mix is approximately 63.4% OEM, 7% indirect and 29.6% other. We support our customers by providing product training, regular mailing of promotional and technical material, telephone and other technical support. Customers and Markets Rixon's sales and marketing strategy is focused on communicating key benefits of our server class fast & gigabit Ethernet adapter cards to our OEM customer base and the end-user market that the OEMs service. Torrey Pines' sales and marketing strategy is focused on communicating key benefits of SAN transport to both our OEM customer base and the end-user market that the OEMs service. Sync follows a sales strategy relying primarily on leveraging resellers, distributors, and a number of Service Providers as delivery channels for its products, including several partners serving the international market. Sync utilizes a distribution and value-added reseller channel as its primary distribution channel for the digital transmission products. Sync has from time to time entered into OEM relationships with selected internetworking companies and will continue to develop such relationships as appropriate. For fiscal 2003, Cisco accounted for 56.9% of our net revenues. Cisco accounted for 19.6% and Solectron accounted for 11.3% of our net revenue for the year ended January 31, 2002, and CISCO accounted for 40.0% and Solectron accounted for 25.2% of our net revenue for the year ended January 31, 2001. Customer Service and Support Our customer service organization is structured to assist OEM and system integrator accounts. Post-sales support for all of our customers include, product warranty against defects in material and workmanship. The length of product warranties varies by product, from 12 months in some instances, to 60 months for a broad range of products, and previously, lifetime warranties for certain legacy products. Telephone technical support programs for hardware and software generally cover the first 12 months from purchase. On-site support and shared support agreements are designed to provide a high level of service to fulfill a broad spectrum of customer needs. As of January 31, 2003 there were three (3) employees working in customer service and support. Engineering, Research and Development As of January 31, 2003, there were eight (8) employees working in our engineering, research and development area. Our research and development expenditures were $1.2 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2003. Our efforts are targeted to achieve technological advances that will allow us to introduce innovative products to market. Product introduction is driven by a combination of rapidly evolving technology and standards, as well as changing customer requirements. Our team works closely with our systems engineering staff performing continuous evaluations of customer needs, emerging trends and technical challenges in order to identify new market opportunities while simultaneously focusing on our customers' strategic requirements. Manufacturing and Quality Our products are manufactured on an outsourced basis from various contract manufacturers. Final assembly, test and quality assurance are performed by us at our Irvine, California facility. 3 <Page> Our manufacturing strategy is to outsource all repetitive operations to top-tier, third party contract manufacturers. These manufacturers provide us with access to enhanced supply chain agreements, volume purchasing power, a lower cost labor base, and improved quality and process control. We concurrently undertake manufacturing engineering with development engineering to ensure that reliable, high yield and low cost manufacturing processes that meet our customers' manufacturing standards are designed into our products from inception. We perform final integration and testing at our Irvine, California facility. We actively manage our components supply chain. Network connectivity and frame relay product assemblies consist of approximately 500 individual part types, and all of these parts have been qualified to current, purchasing customers' standards. For approximately 90% of these parts we have qualified second or third sources in place. We believe that our strategy of outsourcing the majority of our manufacturing activities to third party contract manufacturers enables us to react quickly to market demand and avoid the significant capital investment that would be required to establish and maintain full manufacturing facilities. We are therefore able to focus our manufacturing resources on final assembly, burn-in and final testing to ensure reliability and quality assurance for our products. We have a quality assurance program in place and continually evaluate this process to ensure quality practices throughout the organization and to monitor the performance of our third party vendors. As of January 31, 2003, there were ten (10) employees working in our manufacturing, repair, test, shipping, receiving, purchasing, inventory control. Working Capital Practices We have historically maintained high levels of inventories to meet the output requirements of our customers and to ensure an uninterrupted flow of inputs from our suppliers. As of January 31, 2003, we had 183 days of inventory on hand. Between fiscal 2001 and Fiscal 2002, we changed our inventory strategy to better support our customers. Our inventory turnover ratio (cost of sales/average net inventory) was 1.8 in fiscal 2002 compared to 4.0 in fiscal 2001. The drop in turnover ratio or the relatively high level of inventory reflects the drop in sales from fiscal 2001 to fiscal 2002 and the retention of the Sync Research inventories. We have made significant increases to our reserves as shown below in our inventory recap from the form 10-K from January 31, 2002 with the increase in reserves from 41.9% on January 31, 2001 to 57.1% on January 31, 2002. The inventory we carry allows us to have resources available to anticipate a market upswing. Many of our products require custom parts with longer than average lead times and our inventory levels support our ability to provide fast response to increased customer needs at the same time recognizing the need for conservative inventory valuations. We have continued this strategy during fiscal year 2003. During fiscal year 2003, $2.4 million in raw material parts was disposed of and written off against the valuation reserve.

These forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, are not historical facts but rather reflect current expectations concerning future results and events. Words such as "believes," "expects," "intends," "plans," "anticipates," "likely," "will" and similar expressions identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control that could cause actual results to differ materially from those forecast or anticipated in such forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, the technical and commercial success of the Company's current and future products, reliance on vendors and product lines, competition, performance of new products, performance of affiliates and their future operating results, our ability to establish successful strategic alliances, quarterly and seasonal fluctuations, dependence on senior management and possible volatility of stock price. These factors are discussed generally in greater detail under the caption "Risk Factors" in this form 10-K We wish to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. These risks and uncertainties are described in the following section. We specifically decline any obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions that may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements, or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Risk Factors In connection with the safe harbor contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 we are hereby identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf. Any such statement is qualified by reference to the following cautionary statements: o Our industry is highly competitive, and we may not have the resources required to compete successfully. The market for network connectivity products and services and SAN transport equipment is extremely competitive and we expect competition to continue to intensify in the future. Our primary sources of competition include Adaptec, Intel Corporation, Interphase, CNT, Vixel, ADVA, ONI Systems Corporation, and many other companies. We may also face competition from a number of other companies that have announced plans for new products to address the same problems that our products address. Many of our current and potential competitors have significantly greater sales and marketing, technical, manufacturing, financial and other resources as well as greater name recognition and larger MCI Worldcomase than us. Our competitors may have more extensive customer relationships than us, including relationships with our potential customers. In particular, established companies in the telecommunications equipment or computing industries may seek to expand their product offerings by designing and selling products using competitive technology that could render our products obsolete or have a material adverse effect on our revenue. We operate in a market where emerging companies enter the markets in which we are competing and new products and technologies are introduced. Increased competition may result in further price reductions, reduced gross margins and loss of market share, any of which could materially and adversely affect its business, operating results and financial condition. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors, or that the competitive factors we will face will not have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. o Our business will be seriously harmed if we are not able to develop and commercialize new or enhanced products. Our growth depends on our ability to successfully develop new or enhanced products. Our next generation of network management products as well as our wavelength division multiplexing products are currently 5 <Page> under development. We cannot be sure whether these or other new products will be successfully developed and introduced to the market on a timely basis or at all. We will need to complete each of the following steps to successfully commercialize these and any other new products: complete product development, qualify and establish component suppliers, validate manufacturing methods, conduct extensive quality assurance and reliability testing, complete any software validation, and demonstrate systems interoperability. Each of these steps presents serious risks of failure, rework or delay, any one of which could adversely affect the rate at which we are able to introduce and market our products. If we do not develop these products in a timely manner, our competitive position and financial condition could be adversely affected. In addition, as we introduce new or enhanced products, we must also manage the transition from older products to newer products. If we fail to do so, we may disrupt customer ordering patterns or may not be able to ensure that adequate supplies of new products can be delivered to meet anticipated Wells Fargo Bankemand. Any failure to effectively manage this transition may cause us to lose current and prospective customers. o Concentration of revenue and accounts receivables. We have a limited number of customers which account for a significant proportion of our net revenues and accounts receivables. The loss of one or more major customers, or their inability to pay, could materially and adversely effect our business, operating results and financial condition. o Prior to the fiscal year 2003, ending January 31, 2003, we incurred net losses over the previous three years and may experience future losses. We have incurred losses from continuing operation during the years ended January 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000 and of $10.7 million, $17.7 million, and $3.4 million, respectively. We have financed these losses through a combination of debt issuances, bank lines of credit and security placements. We believe we have sufficient credit lines and working capital to meet our planned level of operations in the future. However, there can be no assurance that our working capital requirements will not exceed our ability to generate sufficient cash to support our requirements and the needed capital will have to be obtained from additional external sources. o Our future growth depends on our ability to attract new customers, and on our customers' ability to sell additional services to their own customers. Most of our potential customers evaluate our network connectivity and storage area products for integrated deployment in larger systems. There are a limited number of potential customers for our products. If we are not selected by a potential Solectronor particular system projects, our business may be seriously harmed. Similarly, our growth depends on our customers' success in selling integrated solutions based on our products and complementary products from others. Our success will depend on our ability to effectively anticipate and adapt to customer requirements and offer products and services that meet Wells Fargo Bankemands. Any failure of our current or prospective customers to purchase products from us for any reason, including a downturn in their business, would seriously harm our ability to grow our business. o The time that our customers and potential customers require for testing and qualification before purchasing our networking products can be long and variable, which may cause our results of operations to be unpredictable. Before purchasing our products, potential customers must undertake a lengthy evaluation, testing and product qualification process. In addition, potential customers require time-consuming field trials of our products. Our sales effort requires the effective demonstration of the benefits of our products to, and significant training of, potential customers. In addition, even after deciding to purchase our products, our customers may take several years to deploy our products. The timing of deployment depends on many factors, including the sophistication of a CISCOnd the complexity and size of a customer's networks. Our sales cycle, which is the period from the time a sales lead is generated until the recognition of revenue, can often be longer than one year. The length and variability of our sales cycle is influenced by a variety of factors beyond our control, including: our customers' build out and deployment schedules, our customers' access to product purchase financing, our customers' needs for functional demonstration and field trials, and the manufacturing lead time for our products. Because our sales cycles are long and variable, our results of operations may be unpredictable. o Our products may have errors or defects that we find only after deployment, which could seriously harm our business. Our products can only be fully tested after deployment. Our customers may discover errors or defects in our products, and our products may not operate as expected. If we are unable to fix errors or other problems that may be identified, we could experience: loss of or delay in revenues and loss of market share, loss of customers, failure to attract new customers or achieve market acceptance, diversion of engineering resources, increased service and warranty costs, and legal actions by our customers. Any failure of our current or planned products to operate as expected could delay or prevent their adoption and seriously harm our business. 6 <Page> o If our products do not interoperate with our customers' systems, installations will be delayed or cancelled or our products could be returned. Many of our customers require that our products be designed to interoperate with their existing networks, each of which may have different specifications and utilize a variety of protocols. Our customers' networks contain multiple generations of products that have been added over time as these networks have grown and evolved. Our products must interoperate with all of the products within these networks as well as future products in order to meet our customers' requirements. If we are required to modify our product design to be compatible with our customers' systems to achieve a sale, it may result in a longer sales cycle, increased research and development expense and reduced margins on our products. If our products do not interoperate with those of our customers' networks, installations could be delayed, orders for our products could be cancelled or our products could be returned, any of which could seriously harm our business. o If we fail to establish and successfully maintain strategic alliances, our business may be harmed. Strategic alliances are an important part of our effort to expand our revenue opportunities and technological capabilities. We cannot be certain that we will be able to enter strategic alliances on terms that are favorable to us. Our business may be harmed if we fail to establish and maintain strategic alliances. o Our business may be seriously harmed if we are unable to establish successful relationships with distributors and systems integrators. We believe that our future success is dependent upon our ability to establish successful relationships with a variety of distributors and systems integrators. As we expand domestically and internationally, we will increasingly depend on distributors and systems integrators. If we are unable to establish and expand these relationships, we may not be able to increase market awareness or sales of our products, which may prevent us from achieving and maintaining profitability. o Our emerging business for storage area networking products may be seriously harmed if the market for storage area networking products does not develop as we expect. Our planned product offerings are focused on the needs of providers that service storage area networks. The market for storage area networking products is new, and we cannot be certain that a viable market for our products will develop or be sustainable. If this market does not develop, or develops more slowly than we expect, our business may be seriously harmed. Furthermore, the storage area networking industry is subject to rapid technological change and newer technology or products developed by others could render our products non-competitive or obsolete. In developing our products, we have made, and will continue to make, assumptions about the networking standards that our customers and competitors may adopt. If the standards adopted are different from those that we have chosen to support, market acceptance of our products would be significantly reduced and our business will be seriously harmed. o We depend upon contract manufacturers and any disruption in these relationships may cause us to fail to meet the demands of our customers and damage our customer relationships. We use contract manufacturers to manufacture and assemble our products in accordance with our specifications. We do not have long-term contracts with any of them, and none of them are obligated to perform services for us for any specific period or at any specified price, except as may be provided in a particular purchase order. We may not be able to effectively manage our relationships with these manufacturers and they may not meet our future requirements for timely delivery or provide us with the quality of products that we and our customers require. Each of our contract manufacturers also builds products for other companies. We cannot be certain that they will always have sufficient quantities of inventory available to fill our orders, or that they will allocate their internal resources to fill these orders on a timely basis. Qualifying a new contract manufacturer and commencing volume production is expensive and time consuming and could result in a significant interruption in the supply of our products. If we are required to change contract manufacturers, we may suffer delays that could lead to the loss of revenue and damage our customer relationships. o We rely on a limited number of suppliers for some of our components, and our business may be seriously harmed if our supply of any of these components is disrupted. We and our contract manufacturers currently purchase several key components of our products from a limited number of suppliers. We purchase each of these components on a purchase order basis and have no long-term contracts for these components. In addition, the availability of many of these components to us is dependent in part by our ability to provide suppliers with accurate forecasts of our future requirements. In the event of a disruption in supply or if we receive an unexpectedly high level of purchase orders, we may not be able to develop an alternate source in a timely manner or at favorable 7 <Page> prices. Any of these events could hurt our ability to deliver our products to our customers and negatively affect our operating margins. In addition, our reliance on our suppliers exposes us to potential supplier production difficulties or quality variations. Any such disruption in supply would seriously impact our present and future sales. o If we are unable to hire or retain highly skilled personnel, we may not be able to operate our business successfully. Our future success depends upon the continued services of our key management, sales and marketing, and engineering personnel, many of whom have significant industry experience and relationships. Many of our personnel, in particular, Dr. Kanwar J.S. Chadha, our President and Chief Executive Officer and Dr. Davinder Sethi, our Chief Financial Officer would be difficult to replace. We do not have "key person" life insurance policies covering any of our personnel. The loss of the services of any of our key personnel could delay the development and introduction of, and negatively impact our ability to sell, our products. In addition, we will need to hire additional personnel for most areas of our business, including our sales and marketing and engineering operations.. o We may be unable to protect our intellectual property, which could limit our ability to compete. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws and restrictions on disclosure to protect our intellectual property rights. We also enter into confidentiality or license agreements with our employees, consultants and corporate partners, and control access to, and distribution of, our software, documentation and other proprietary information. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain and use our products or technology. Monitoring unauthorized use of our products is difficult, and we cannot be certain that the steps we have taken will prevent unauthorized use of our technology, particularly in foreign countries where the laws may not protect our proprietary rights as fully as in the United States. If competitors gain access to our technology, our ability to compete could be harmed. o We could become subject to litigation regarding intellectual property rights, which could seriously harm our business and require us to incur significant costs. In recent years, there has been significant litigation in the United States involving patents and other intellectual property rights. We may be a party to litigation in the future to protect our intellectual property or as a result of an allegation that we infringe others' intellectual property. Any parties asserting that our products infringe upon their proprietary rights would force us to defend ourselves and possibly our customers or manufacturers against the alleged infringement. These claims and any resulting lawsuits, if successful, could subject us to significant liability for damages and invalidation of our proprietary rights. Additionally, any claims and lawsuits, regardless of their merits, would likely be time-consuming and expensive to resolve and would divert management time and attention. Any claims of infringement of the intellectual property of others could also force us to do one or more of the following: stop selling, incorporating or using our products that use the challenged intellectual property; obtain from the owner of the infringed intellectual property right a license to sell or use the relevant technology, which may not be available to us on reasonable terms, or at all; or redesign those products that use such technology. If we are forced to take any of the foregoing actions, our business may be seriously harmed. o If necessary licenses of third-party technology are not available to us or are very expensive, our products could become obsolete. We may be required to license technology from third parties to develop new products or product enhancements. We cannot assure you that third-party licenses will be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. If we are required to obtain any third-party licenses to develop new products and product enhancements, we could be required to obtain substitute technology, which could result in lower performance or greater cost, either of which could seriously harm the competitiveness of our products. o The markets that our products address are governed by regulations and evolving industry standards. The market that we sell and deploy our products into is characterized as being highly regulated and industry standards intensive, with many standards evolving as new technologies are deployed. In the United States, our products must comply with various regulations defined by the Federal Communications Commission and standards established by Underwriters Laboratories. In addition, there are industry standards established by various organizations such as Fibre Channel Industry Association, American National Standards Institute, and Internet Engineering Task Force. We design our products to comply with those industry standards so that each particular product can be accepted by its intended customers and we are not aware of any standards based product modifications currently required. To the extent non-compliance with such standards has a detrimental effect on CISCOcceptance, we must address such non-compliance in the design of our products. Standards for new services and network management are still 8 <Page> evolving. We are a member of several standards committees, which enables us to participate in the development of standards for emerging technologies. However, as the standards evolve, we will be required to modify our products or develop and support new versions of our products. The failure of our products to comply or delays in compliance, with the various existing and evolving industry standards could delay introduction and acceptance of our products, which could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. In foreign countries, our products may be subject to a wide variety of governmental review and certification requirements. If we fail to conform our products to these regulatory requirements, we could lose revenue and our business could be seriously harmed. Additionally, any failure of our products to comply with relevant regulations could delay their introduction and require costly and time-consuming engineering changes. o We are subject to various risks associated with international sales and operations. We expect that we will eventually have international sales. These sales will be subject to a number of risks, including: changes in foreign government regulations and telecommunications standards, import and export license requirements, tariffs, taxes and other trade barriers, fluctuations in currency exchange rates, difficulty in collecting accounts receivable, the burden of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws, treaties and technical standards, difficulty in staffing and managing foreign operations, and political and economic instability. All of our sales have been denominated in U.S. dollars. All of our expenses are denominated in the U.S. dollar, however in the future a portion of our sales could also be denominated in non-U.S. currencies. As a result, currency fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the currencies in which we would do business could cause foreign currency translation gains or losses that we would recognize in the period incurred. We cannot predict the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on our future operating results because of the number of currencies involved, the variability of currency exposure and the potential volatility of currency exchange rates. We do not currently engage in foreign exchange hedging transactions to manage our foreign currency exposure. o Our future revenues are unpredictable and our financial results may fluctuate. Our revenue and operating results could fluctuate substantially from quarter to quarter and from year to year. This could result from any one or a combination of factors such as the cancellation or postponement of orders, the timing and amount of significant orders from our largest customers, our success in developing, introducing and shipping product enhancements and new products, the mix of products we sell, new product introductions by competitors, pricing actions taken by us or our competitors, the timing of delivery and availability of components from suppliers, changes in material costs and general economic conditions. o Our backlog at any point may not be a good indicator of expected revenues. Our backlog at the beginning of each quarter typically is not sufficient to achieve expected revenue for the quarter. To achieve our revenue objective, we are dependent upon obtaining orders during each quarter for shipment during that quarter. Furthermore, our agreements with our customers typically provide that they may change delivery schedules and cancel orders within specified time frames, typically 30 days or more prior to the scheduled shipment date, without significant penalty. Our customers have in the past built, and may in the future, build significant inventory in order to facilitate more rapid deployment of anticipated major projects or for other reasons. Decisions by such customers to reduce their inventory levels have led and could lead to reductions in purchases from us. These reductions, in turn, have and could cause fluctuations in our operating results and have had and could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations in periods in which the inventory is reduced. Our product backlog on January 31, 2003 was approximately $2.5 million, compared with a backlog of $1.9million at January 31, 2002. In addition to this our service backlog on January 31, 2003 was approximately $0.6 million. We include in our backlog only orders confirmed with a purchase order for products and services to be shipped or provided to our customers with approved credit status within twelve months. o Seasonality. Our revenues are impacted by the buying patterns of our customers, including but not limited to cultural and religious holidays in Asia, Europe and the United States, and other factors. Our revenue have historically been weaker in the first half of a fiscal year and stronger in the second half. o Our business may be adversely affected by competitive pressures, which we must react to. The industry we compete in is characterized by declining prices of existing products, therefore continual improvements of 9 <Page> manufacturing efficiencies and introduction of new products and enhancements to existing products are required to maintain gross margins. In response to Wells Fargo Bankemands or competitive pressures, or to pursue new product or market opportunities, we may take certain pricing or marketing actions, such as price reductions, volume discounts, or provisions of services at below market rates. These actions could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. o If we do not effectively manage our growth, we may not be able to successfully expand our business. Growth of our business will place a significant strain on our management systems and resources. Our ability to successfully offer our products and implement our business plan in a rapidly evolving market requires an effective planning and management process. We will need to continue to improve our financial, managerial and manufacturing process and reporting systems, and will need to continue to expand, train and manage our workforce worldwide. Failure to effectively manage our growth and address the above requirements, it could affect our ability to pursue business opportunities and expand our business. o A substantial number of our common shares are eligible for future sale. No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that future sales of common stock that we may make, or the availability of common stock for future sales, will have on the market price of common stock prevailing from time to time. Sales of a substantial number of shares of common stock in the public market could adversely affect the market price for our common stock and reported earnings per share. o Availability of raw materials. Many of our products require components that may not be readily available. These include microprocessors, custom integrated circuits and other electronic components. To minimize the risks of component or product shortages, we attempt to maintain multiple supply sources. However, there can be no assurance that such sources will be adequate to meet our needs. o Patents, trademarks and licenses. We currently hold nine patents and have two patents pending for our Silverline'TM'product design. Although we attempt to protect our intellectual property rights through patents, trademarks, and copyrights, by maintaining certain technology as trade secrets and by other measures, we cannot assure you that any patent, trademark, copyright or other intellectual property rights owned by us will not be invalidated, circumvented or challenged; that such intellectual property rights will provide competitive advantages to us; or that any of our future patent applications, if any, will be issued with the scope of the claims sought by us, if at all. We cannot assure you that others will not develop technologies that are similar or superior to our technology, or that our competitors will not duplicate our technology or "design around" the patents that we own. In addition, effective patent, copyright and trade secret protection may be unavailable or limited in certain foreign countries in which we do business or intend to do business in the future. We believe that the future success of our business will depend on our ability to translate the technological expertise and innovation of our personnel into new and enhanced products. We cannot assure you that the steps taken by us will prevent misappropriation of our technology. In the future, we may take legal action to enforce its patents and other intellectual property rights, to protect its trade secrets, to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others, or to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity. Such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could harm our business and operating results. As is common in our industry, we have from time to time received notification from other companies claiming that certain of our products may infringe intellectual property rights held by such companies. Any claim or litigation, with or without merit, could be costly, time consuming and could result in a diversion of management's attention, which could harm our business. If we were found to be infringing the intellectual property rights of any third party, we could be subject to liabilities for such infringement, which could be material, and could be required to seek licenses from other companies or to refrain from using, manufacturing or selling certain products or using certain processes. Although holders of patents and other intellectual property rights often offer licenses to their patent or other intellectual property rights, no assurance can be given that licenses would be offered, that the terms of any offered license would be acceptable to us or that failure to obtain a license would not cause its operating results to suffer. 10 <Page> o Environmental compliance. Our operations are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations with respect to environmental matters. We believe that we are in material compliance with all such federal, state and local laws and regulations. o Employees. As of January 31, 2003 we had 35 employees and independent contractors, including eight (8) in engineering, ten (10) in manufacturing, test, repair and quality assurance, six (6) in sales, sales support and marketing, three (3) in customer service and support, seven (7) in administration, and one (1) executive. None of our employees are represented by a collective bargaining agreement, and we believe that relations with our employees are good, but we could be at risk if one or more employees choose to leave. o Fluctuations in revenue and operating results. The industries we operate in are subject to fluctuation. Our operating results may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including the timing of orders from, and shipments to, customers; the timing of new product introductions and the market acceptance of those products; increased competition; changes in manufacturing costs; availability of parts; changes in the mix of product sales; the rate of end-user adoption and carrier and private network deployment of our solutions; factors associated with international operations; and changes in world economic conditions. 11 <Page> Definitions As used in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the following terms have the meanings indicated: "CWDM" means Coarse Wave Division Multiplexing, which is a sophisticated optoelectronics technology that uses multiple wavelengths of light very efficiently to greatly increase the number of video, data or voice channels of information that can be sent on a single optical fiber in a transmission system. CWDM has a wider wavelength range than DWDM and permits the use of lower cost lasers and components. "DWDM" means Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing, which is a sophisticated optoelectronics technology that uses multiple wavelengths of light very efficiently to greatly increase the number of video, data or voice channels of information that can be sent on a single optical fiber in a transmission system. "ESCON" means Enterprise System CONnection, a protocol for 200 Mbps signal transmission speed over fiber optic cable. "Ethernet" means a 10 Mbps speed network that runs over thick coaxial cable (10BASE5), thin coaxial cable (10BASE2), twisted-pair (10BASE-T), and fiber-optic cable. It is the most widely used LAN technology and the most popular form of Ethernet is 10BASE-T. Ethernet is network specification that was developed at Xerox Corp's Palo Alto Research Center, and made into a network standard by Digital, Intel, and Xerox. "Fast Ethernet" means a 100 Mbps speed network that runs over thick coax, twisted-pair, and fiber-optic cable. Fast Ethernet is 10 times faster than Ethernet. "FDDI" means a Fiber Distributed Data Interface and is a fiber optic network that supports transmission speeds up to 100 Mbps. "FICON" means FIbre CONnectivity, a Fibre Channel based, packet switched, channel architecture offering greater bandwidth per channel than the older ESCON. "IP" means Internet Protocol, the standard for communication over the Internet. "IT" means Information Technology, the general field of managing the transmission and storage of information. "ISDN" means an Integrated Services Digital Network and is an all-digital communications network that provides a wide range of services on a switched basis. Voice, data and video can be simultaneously transmitted on one line from a source. "ISO" means International Standards Organization. Founded in 1946, ISO is an international organization composed of national standards bodies from over 75 countries. ISO has defined a number of important computer standards, the most significant of which is perhaps OSI (Open Systems Interconnection), a standardized architecture for designing networks. "ISP" means an Internet Service Provider. "LAN" means a Local Area Network and is a high-speed communications system designed to link computers for the purpose of sharing files, programs and various devices such as printers and high-speed modems within a small geographic area such as a workgroup, department or single floor of a multi-story building. LANs may include dedicated computers or file servers that provide a centralized source of shared files and programs. "MAN" means a Metropolitan Area Network and is a high-speed communications system designed to link computers within a geographic area the size of large city. "Multiplexing" means a process that combines a number of lower speed data transmissions into one high-speed data transmission by splitting that total available bandwidth into narrower bands (frequency division) or by allotting a common channel to several different transmitting devices one at a time in sequence (time division). "OEM" means Original Equipment Manufacturer. "Packet" means the "envelope" in which the network software places a message being sent from one station to another station in a network. One of the key features of a packet is that it contains the destination address in addition to the data. "Protocol" means a standard developed by international standards bodies, individual equipment vendors, and ad hoc groups of interested parties to define how to implement a group of services in one or more layers of the OSI model. The Open Systems Interconnect ("OSI") reference model was developed by the ISO to define all the services a LAN should 12 <Page> provide. Ethernet and Token Ring, for example, are both protocols that define different ways to provide the services called for in the Physical and Data Link Layers of the OSI model. "Router" means a network translator that reads network-addressing information within packets to provide greater selectivity in directing traffic over multiple network segments. It is a more complex inter-networking device. "SAN" means Storage Area Network, a secure information infrastructure that interconnects servers and routers to facilitate universal access to data and systems. "Switch" means a device that allows the network operator to vary and select connections between network nodes at very high speeds. "TCP/IP" means Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol, which is a suite of protocols used for communications between two or more devices. "WAN" means a Wide Area Network and is a communications network that connects geographically dispersed users. Typically, a WAN consists of two or more LANs. The largest WAN in existence is the Internet. 13 <Page> Item 2. Properties. We lease 58,000 square feet of office, manufacturing and distribution space as detailed below.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Certain statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including, without limitation, statements containing the words "believes", "anticipates", "estimates", "expects", and words of similar import constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Readers are referred to the "Risk Factors" section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K contained herein, which identifies important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. The results of operations reflect our activities and our wholly owned subsidiaries; this consolidated group is referred to individually and collectively as "We" and "Our". Our subsidiaries operate in different business segments. Revenue and gross profit information for the subsidiaries is provided, we plan to provide additional financial information on the subsidiaries as it becomes formalized in future form 10-Q's and form 10-K's. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated audited financial statements and related notes thereto. In September 2000, our Board of Directors concluded that the operations of our frame relay business would not contribute to our profitability or toward our goal of entering the storage area networking market space and adopted a formal plan to discontinue this business operated by Sync. On September 6, 2001, we announced our restructuring plan creating three separate wholly owned subsidiaries. The discontinued frame relay business was retained as Sync Research, Inc. as one of the three subsidiaries. Sync Research, Inc. will continue to serve its current frame relay customers and provide manufacturing, service and repair facilities for the other subsidiaries. On September 18, 2001 our Board of Directors approved a plan to reclassify Sync Research as an operating unit. In this capacity, Sync Research, Inc. became an integral part of the Entrada Networks. Our financial statements reflect the operations and financial position of the frame relay business as a discontinued operation for some of the periods reported. Unless otherwise specifically noted, this Annual Report refers to the Entrada business and not to the former Sync business. Certain statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including, without limitation, statements containing the words "believes", "anticipates", "estimates", "expects", and words of similar import constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Readers are referred to the "Other Risk Factors" section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as the "Financial Risk Management" and "Future Growth Subject to Risks" sections contained herein, which identify important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Results of Operations: Comparison of the Years Ended January 31, 2003 and January 31, 2002 Net revenue. Our consolidated net revenue from continuing operations was $13.6 million for fiscal 2003, compared with $13.3 million for fiscal 2002. Product revenues increased to $12.2 million for fiscal 2003 from $10.1 million in fiscal 2002. The increase in product revenue for fiscal 2003 resulted primarily from increased revenue from OEMs and end users of networking adapter card products. Service revenue decreased from $3.1 million in fiscal 2002 to $1.4 million in fiscal 2003. The decrease was due primarily to a decline in major frame relay service customer renewals. Our Sync Research net revenues from the frame relay and service business declined 63.9% to $1.9 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2003 compared to $5.5 million net revenues for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2002. The largest portion of the drop for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2003 came from a 75.6% drop in frame relay product net revenues from $2.2 million in the fiscal year ended January 31, 2002 to $0.5 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2003. This drop was due to several large one-time orders in fiscal year 2002 and market impact of the discontinuance of the business prior to it being retained. Our Sync Research service revenue declined $1.8 million or 55% compared to fiscal year 2002 primarily due to the loss of several major service customers. Our Rixon Networks net revenues were primarily from adapter card product revenues. These product revenues increased $3.8 million or 47.2% to $11.7 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2003 over $7.9 million the fiscal year ended January 31, 2002. This was primarily due to an increase in our original equipment manufacturer's business. We had no revenues in our Torrey Pines Network subsidiary. Gross profit. Cost of revenues consists principally of the costs of components, subcontract assembly from outside contract manufacturers, and in-house system integration, quality control, final testing, configuration costs and outside service costs. Gross profit increased to $6.5 million for the fiscal 2003 from $5.5 million for fiscal 2002. Our gross margin increased to 47.8% for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2003 from 41.5% for fiscal 2002. The increase in gross margins resulted primarily from our cost reductions that included both facility consolidations and personnel reductions. Our Sync Research gross profit of $1.1 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2003 dropped by $2.1 million or 70.0% compared to $3.0 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2002. This was primarily due to a 48% drop in service gross profit to $1.1 million due to fewer support customers and a frame relay product gross profit drop to $0.0 million due to close outs done during the period. Our Rixon Networks gross profit of $5.4 million increased by $2.9 million or 116% for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2003 over the gross profit of the prior fiscal year of $2.5 million. Increased net revenues and personnel and facility cost reductions during the fiscal year in combining our Annapolis Junction, MD and our San Diego, CA facilities into our Irvine, CA facility of $0.9 million were the major elements of the increase. Selling and marketing. Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of employee compensation and related costs, commissions to sales representatives, tradeshow expenses and travel expenses. Selling and marketing expenses decreased to $0.8 million for fiscal 2003 from $3.4 million for fiscal 2002. The reduction in selling and marketing costs reflects personnel reductions and facility consolidations in fiscal 2002. As a percentage of revenue, selling and marketing expenses decreased to 6.1% for fiscal 2003 from 25.9% for fiscal 2002. Engineering, research and development. Engineering, research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation related costs for engineering personnel, facilities costs, and materials used in the design, development and support of our technologies. All research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Engineering, research and 18 <Page> development expenses decreased to $1.2 million, or 8.6% of net revenue, for fiscal 2003, compared with $6.5 million, or 49.0% of net revenue, for fiscal 2002. The decrease in research and development expenses was primarily due to cost savings achieved through the consolidation of facilities and personnel reductions. General and administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee compensation and related costs, legal and accounting fees, public company costs, and occupancy costs. General and administrative expenses were $2.1 million, or 15.7% of net revenue, for fiscal 2003, compared with $4.0 million, or 30.4% of net revenue, for fiscal 2002. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to the consolidation of all of our operations in our Irvine, CA facility and organizational restructuring during fiscal year 2003 Other operating expenses. Other operating expenses for fiscal 2003 include a $0.5 million reserve recorded against our closed facility in Annapolis Junction, MD. This is a decrease from the fiscal 2002 other operating expense of $1.7 million which included expenses from the staff reductions and severance through the closure of our Annapolis Junction, MD and San Diego, CA facilities and the reduction in our marketing, sales, and research and development. Income taxes. There was no provision for income taxes for fiscal years 2003 and 2002. We have carry forwards of domestic federal net operating losses, which may be available, in part, to reduce future taxable income in the United States. However, the Internal Revenue Code limits the application of net operating loss carry forwards in the event of ownership changes of greater than 50%. We had a change of ownership in fiscal year 2001 that will limit the amount of any net operating loss carry forward we may use in a particular year. Discontinued operations. In September 2000, our Board of Directors had concluded that the operations of our frame relay business would not contribute to our profitability or toward our goal of entering the storage area networking market space and adopted a formal plan to discontinue this business operated by Sync. On September 6, 2001, we announced our restructuring plan creating three separate wholly owned subsidiaries. The discontinued frame relay business was retained as Sync Research, Inc. as one of the three subsidiaries. Sync Research, Inc. will continue to serve its current frame relay customers and provide manufacturing, service and repair facilities for the other subsidiaries. On September 18, 2001 our Board of Directors approved a plan to reclassify Sync Research as an operating unit. In this capacity, Sync Research, Inc. became an integral part of the Entrada Networks. For more details on the discontinued operation, please refer to the "Results of Operations: Comparison of the Years Ended January 31, 2002 and January 31, 2001", Discontinued operations section. Results of Operations: Comparison of the Years Ended January 31, 2002 and January 31, 2001 With the reclassification of Sync Research, Inc. as an operating unit during the third quarter of fiscal year ended January 31, 2002, the historical figures for the "Loss from Discontinued Operations" for twelve months ended January 31, 2001, as previously reported of $(155,000), was reclassified as an adjustment to operating expenses in cost of sales of $67,000; selling and marketing of $18,000; engineering of $30,000; and general and administrative of $40,000. To provide comparable financial statements, the prior period statements of operations reflect the reclassification of the impaired inventory of $2.2 million as a charge to "cost of sales", and $4.8 million as of January 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively of the disposal to "other expenses" leaving $3.4 million remaining as the (income) loss on discontinued operations. The $3.4 million offsetting balances in fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2002 income statements are the balance of the goodwill of $4.3 million reduced by the $0.9 million Sync Research income at the interim period when Sync was retained. As a result of the decision to discontinue and retain Sync Research, Inc., there were no material commitments or contingencies. The historical figures for net loss did not change for the year ended January 31, 2001 and 2000. The details of the discontinued operation and its subsequent retention are detailed in "Discontinued Operations" below. As a result of the decision to discontinue and then retain Sync Research, Inc., there were no material commitments or contingencies. The historical figures for net income (loss) did not change. There is also a separate $2.8 million inventory impairment charge included in Cost of Revenues that is described in more detail under the section "Gross Profit" below. Net revenue. Our consolidated net revenue from continuing operations was $13.3 million for fiscal 2002, compared with $25.7 million for fiscal 2001. Ninety three percent (93.0%) of the decrease in net revenue for fiscal 2002 resulted primarily from decreased revenue of networking adapter products to our largest OEM's which decreased by $11.5 million or 65.9% in fiscal 2002 as compared to fiscal 2001. This was due to the significant market downturn in calendar year 2001 and to a lesser degree to distributors of remote access and print server products. Gross profit. Cost of sales consists principally of the costs of components, subcontract assembly from outside contract manufacturers, and in-house system integration, quality control, final testing and configuration costs. Gross profit increased to $5.5 million for the fiscal 2002 from $4.5 million for fiscal 2001. The increase in gross margins resulted primarily from the Company returning to normal margins. 19 <Page> There were two distinct and separate inventory adjustments that occurred in fiscal 2001. First was a $2.8 million valuation adjustment for Rixon Networks' legacy products included in continuing operations. The second was the $2.2 million inventory impairment for the discontinuance of Sync Research. A gross margin for fiscal 2001 that would exclude the two adjustments would have been 37.6%. The gross margin including the $2.2 million, but excluding the $2.8 million adjustment was 28.6%, and the gross margin including both adjustments is 17.7%. For fiscal 2002, the gross margin increased to 41.5% due primarily to the retention of the Sync Research subsidiary whose products sell at a more profitable gross margin of 54.9%. Selling and marketing. Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of employee compensation and related costs, commissions to sales representatives, tradeshow expenses and travel expenses. Selling and marketing expenses decreased to $3.4 million for fiscal 2002 from $5.2 million for fiscal 2001. The reduction in selling and marketing costs reflects personnel reductions and facility consolidations in fiscal 2002. As a percentage of revenue, selling and marketing expenses increased to 25.9% for fiscal 2002, from 20.4% for fiscal 2001. The increase in selling and marketing costs as a percentage of revenue is due to lower revenue for fiscal 2002 compared with the prior year. Engineering, research and development. Engineering, research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation related costs for engineering personnel, facilities costs, and materials used in the design, development and support of our technologies. All research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Engineering, research and development expenses decreased to $6.5 million, or 49.0% of net revenue, for fiscal 2002, compared with $6.9 million, or 26.7% of net revenue, for fiscal 2001. The decrease in research and development expenses was primarily due to cost savings achieved through the consolidation of facilities towards the end of the fiscal year. General and administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee compensation and related costs, legal and accounting fees, public company costs, and allocable occupancy costs. General and administrative expenses were $4.0 million, or 30.4% of net revenue, for fiscal 2002, compared with $2.9 million, or 11.4% of net revenue, for fiscal 2001. The increase in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to costs incurred in fiscal 2002 relating to the establishment of our headquarters facility in San Diego, CA. These additional expenses were partially offset by cost savings from the consolidation of our facilities. As a result of the merger and establishment of our headquarters in San Diego, CA, we added a layer of senior management and incurred additional costs associated with operating as a public company, including the costs of proxies, mailing, annual reports and stockholders' meetings. Other operating expenses. Other operating expenses for fiscal 2002 include a $1.7 million expense recorded against the staff and facility reductions. We reduced our staff by 107 through the closure of our Annapolis Junction, MD and San Diego, CA facilities and the reduction in our marketing, sales, and research and development. This is a decrease from the fiscal 2001 other operating expense of $6.9 million which included expenses from the discontinued operation of Sync Research, Inc. Income taxes. There was no provision for income taxes for fiscal years 2002 and 2001. We have carry forwards of domestic federal net operating losses, which may be available, in part, to reduce future taxable income in the United States. However, the Internal Revenue Code limits the application of net operating loss carry forwards in the event of ownership changes of greater than 50%. We had a change of ownership in fiscal year 2001 that will limit the amount of any net operating loss carry forward we may use in a particular year. Discontinued operations. In September 2000, our Board of Directors had concluded that the operations of our frame relay business would not contribute to our profitability or toward our goal of entering the storage area networking market space and adopted a formal plan to discontinue this business operated by Sync. 20 <Page> The $10.4 million loss on the disposal of Sync during the fiscal year ended January 21, 2001 is as follows: Amount Item (millions) Description - ---- ---------- ----------- Inventory impairment $ 2.2 This adjustment records a full reserve against the cost basis of Sync's inventory based upon the intent to abandon the inventory. This assumes that as a discontinued operation, the inventory value is zero as the need to dispose of inventory would result in minimal return. Severance 1.1 This adjustment records the costs associated with the termination of our employees and assumes the elimination of all of the Sync employees: 45 people including 8 change of control/contract personnel. Vendor payables 1.1 We recorded an accrual for costs due and payable under the termination provisions of an agreement with a contract manufacturing vendor. Lease termination accrual 0.7 We recorded an accrual for the remaining lease costs and lease related costs for the physical location of the discontinued operations, net of sub lease income. Goodwill impairment 4.3 Assumes 4.2 million shares at $2.75 per share offset by the valuation of Sync Research of $8.4 million at August 30, 2000 with the addition of $1.1 million merger expenses. Fixed asset impairment 1.0 This adjustment assumed that the Sync fixed asset book value would be fully reserved as a discontinued operation due to the abandonment of fixed assets. ----- Total Loss $10.4 ===== On September 6, 2001, we announced our restructuring plan creating three separate wholly owned subsidiaries. The discontinued frame relay business was retained as Sync Research, Inc. as one of the three subsidiaries. Sync Research, Inc. will continue to serve its current frame relay customers and provide manufacturing, service and repair facilities for the other subsidiaries. On September 18, 2001 our Board of Directors approved a plan to reclassify Sync Research as an operating unit. In this capacity, Sync Research, Inc. became an integral part of Entrada Networks. With the reclassification of Sync Research, Inc. as an operating unit during the third quarter of fiscal year ended January 31, 2002, the historical figures for the "Loss from Discontinued Operations" for twelve months ended January 31, 2001, as previously reported of $(155,000), was reclassified as an adjustment to operating expenses in cost of sales of $67,000; selling and marketing of $18,000; engineering of $30,000; and general and administrative of $40,000. To provide comparable financial statements, the prior period statements of operations reflect the reclassification of the impaired inventory of $2.2 million as a charge to "cost of sales", and $4.8 million as of January 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively of the disposal to "other expenses" leaving $3.4 million remaining as the (income) loss on discontinued operations. The $3.4 million offsetting balances in fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2002 income statements are the balance of the goodwill of $4.3 million reduced by the $0.9 million Sync Research income at the interim period when Sync was retained. As a result of the decision to discontinue and retain Sync Research, Inc., there were no material commitments or contingencies. The historical figures for net loss did not change for the year ended January 31, 2001 and 2000. 21 <Page> The following table presents, at January 31, 2003, our obligations and commitments to make future payments under contracts and contingent commitments. Payment Due by Period as of January 31, 2003 Less After (In thousands) than 1-3 4-5 5 Contractual Obligations Total 1Year Years Years Years - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Short Term Debt $ 474 $ 474 $ -- $-- $-- Capital Lease Obligations 68 68 -- -- -- Operating Leases 1,482 632 850 -- -- ------ ------ ---- --- --- Total Contractual Cash Obligations $2,024 $1,174 $850 $ $ Liquidity and Capital Resources At January 31, 2003, our working capital was $3.5 million and cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were $0.9 million. At January 31, 2002, our working capital was $1.1 million and cash and cash equivalents were $0.7 million. Cash flow provided by operations was $0.8 million during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2003 compared with cash flow used by operations of $4.2 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2002. Cash flow provided by operations in fiscal 2003 reflects $1.7 million of net profit from operations, adjustments for non-cash expenses including depreciation, amortization, and reserves, less a $1.7 million decrease in accounts payable, less a $1.5 million decrease in accrued expenses, plus a $0.6 million decrease in accounts receivable and a $0.5 million decrease in inventories. During fiscal 2002, our cash flow used in operations reflects $7.2 million of net loss from operations including adjustment for non-cash expenses including depreciation, amortization, and reserves, plus a $0.7 million decrease in accounts payable, a $1.6 million increase in gross inventories and a $2.6 million decrease in accrued expenses and a $2.7 million decrease in accounts receivable. Our investing activities consist primarily of purchases of property, plant and equipment a. We purchased $25,500 and $2.0 million in equipment during the fiscal years ended January 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Our financing activities during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2003 included repayments on our bank loan of $0.2 million and the repayment of the $250,000 senior convertible debenture with its beneficial conversion feature. Our Silicon Valley Bank credit facility has a maximum limit of $2.0 million, subject to a limitation equal to 65% of our eligible receivables plus the lesser of $1.0 million or 40% of the liquidation value of our eligible inventory. Borrowings under the credit line bear interest at the bank's prime rate plus 2.5% (10.7% at January 31, 2003). In connection with the line of credit, we issued Silicon Valley Bank five-year warrants to purchase 75,757 shares of our common stock at $3.30 per share. These warrants were valued at $54,000. The $54,000 deferred interest was amortized as interest expense over the twelve-month term of the credit arrangement in the previous fiscal year of 2002. The credit arrangement is subject to covenants regarding our tangible net worth, and is collateralized by accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. The credit facility will expire on October 31, 2003. In March 2003 the bank increased our eligible receivables limit to 80% of eligible accounts receivable. We are in compliance with our bank line of credit covenants as of January 31, 2003. We anticipate that our available cash resources will be sufficient to meet our presently anticipated capital requirements through fiscal 2004. We are always pursuing external equity financing arrangements that could enhance our liquidity position in the coming years. Nonetheless, our future capital requirements may vary materially from those now planned 22 <Page> including the need for additional working capital to accommodate infrastructure needs. There can be no assurances that our working capital requirements will not exceed our ability to generate sufficient cash internally to support our requirements and that external financing will be available or that, if available, such financing can be obtained on terms favorable to us and our shareholders. Effects of Inflation and Currency Exchange Rates We believe that the relatively moderate rate of inflation in the United States over the past few years has not had a significant impact on our revenue or operating results or on the prices of raw materials. There can be no assurance, however, that inflation will not have a material adverse effect on our operating results in the future. All of our revenue and expenses are currently denominated in U.S. dollars and to date our business has not been affected by currency fluctuations. In the future, however, we could conduct business in several different countries and thus fluctuations in currency exchange rates could cause our products to become relatively more expensive in particular countries, leading to a reduction in revenue in that country. In addition, inflation in such countries could increase our expenses. In the future, we may engage in foreign currency denominated revenue or pay material amounts of expenses in foreign currencies and, in such event, may experience gains and losses due to currency fluctuations. Our operating results could be adversely affected by such fluctuations. New Accounting Standards In June 2001, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 143 (SFAS No. 143), "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Statement requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred. When the liability is initially recorded, the entity capitalizes a cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Over time, the liability is accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. Upon settlement of the liability, an entity either settles the obligation for its recorded amount or incurs a gain or loss upon settlement. The adoption of SFAS No. 143 did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations. In April 2002, FASB issued Statement No. 145 (SFAS No. 145), "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections" effective on or after May 15, 2002. This Statement rescinds SFAS No. 4 and an amendment of that Statement, and SFAS No. 64. This Statement also rescinds SFAS No. 44. SFAS No. 145 prevents gains or losses on the extinguishment of debt that do not meet the criteria of APB 30 to be treated as extraordinary. This Statement amends SFAS No. 13, to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. This Statement also amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. The adoption of SFAS No. 145 did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations. In June 2002, FASB issued Statement No. 146 (SFAS No. 146), "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities," effective for activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." The adoption of SFAS No. 146 did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations. In December 2002, FASB issued Statement No. 148 (SFAS No. 148), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation -- Transition and Disclosure -- An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123." SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The Company is required to follow the prescribed format and provide the additional disclosures required by SFAS No. 148 in its annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002 and must also provide the disclosures in its quarterly reports containing condensed financial statements for interim periods beginning 23 <Page> with the quarterly period ended March 31, 2003 (April 30, 2003 for us). The adoption of SFAS No. 148 did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations. The adoption of SFAS No. 148 did result in a modification of disclosure in our financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and will result in modified disclosure in our quarterly financial statements included in future quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others." In the course of business the Company has contractual guarantees in the form of warranties. However, these warranties are limited and do not represent significant commitments or contingent liabilities of the indebtedness of others. This pronouncement is effective for financial statements issued after December 15, 2002 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities," an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements." This pronouncement requires the consolidation of variable interest entities, as defined, and is effective immediately for variable interest entities created after January 31, 2002, and for variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. We have no variable interest entities and thus this interpretation is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to our valuation of inventory and our allowance for uncollectable accounts receivable. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may materially differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements: o Inventory is evaluated on a continual basis and reserve adjustments are made based on management's estimate of future sales value, if any, of specific inventory items. Reserve adjustments are made for the difference between the cost of the inventory and the estimated market value and charged to operations in the period in which the facts that give rise to the adjustments become known. o Accounts receivable balances are evaluated on a continual basis and allowances are provided for potentially uncollectable accounts based on management's estimate of the collectability of CISCOccounts. If the financial condition of a customer were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, an additional allowance may be required. Allowance adjustments are charged to operations in the period in which the facts that give rise to the adjustments become known. Other Matters From time to time, we are involved in various legal proceedings and claims incidental to the conduct of our business. Although it is impossible to predict the outcome of any outstanding legal proceedings, we believe that such legal proceedings and claims, individually and in the aggregate, are not likely to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations or cash flows. Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk We are exposed to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. Our exposure to interest rate risk is the result of our need for periodic additional financing for our large operating losses and capital expenditures. The interest rate that we will be able to obtain on debt financing will depend on market conditions at that time, and may differ from the rates we have secured on our current debt. Additionally, the interest rates charged by our present lenders adjust on the basis of the lenders' prime rate. All of our revenues and expenses have been denominated in U.S. dollars and to date our business has not been affected by currency fluctuations. In the future, however, we could conduct business in several different countries and thus fluctuations in currency exchange rates could cause our products to become relatively more expensive in particular countries, leading to a reduction in revenue in that country. In addition, inflation in such countries could increase our expenses. In the future, we may engage in foreign currency denominated revenue or pay material amounts of expenses in foreign currencies and, in such event, may experience gains and losses due to currency fluctuations. Our operating results could be adversely affected by such fluctuations. 24 We do not hold or issue derivative, derivative commodity instruments or other financial instruments for trading purposes. Investments held for other than trading purposes do not impose a material market risk. We believe that the relatively moderate rate of inflation in the United States over the past few years and the relatively stable interest rates incurred on short-term financing have not had a significant impact on our revenue, operating results or prices of raw materials. There can be no assurance, however, that inflation or an upward trend in short-term interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our operating results in the future should we require debt financing in the future. Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data The information required by Item 8 is set forth in Item 14 of this Form 10-K. Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure None. 25 <Page> PART III Item 10.

F-6 <Page> ENTRADA NETWORKS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (In Thousands, except share and per share amounts) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A. THE COMPANY, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS Entrada Networks, Inc., through its wholly owned subsidiaries, (the "Company", "we", "our" or "us"), is in the business of developing, marketing and selling products for the network connectivity segments. Our Torrey Pines Networks ("Torrey Pines") subsidiary's product line is currently in the design, development and product introduction phase and we are working toward the manufacture, marketing and selling of storage area network ("SAN") transport products. Our Rixon Networks ("Rixon") subsidiary designs, manufactures, markets and sells a line of fast and gigabit Ethernet products that are incorporated into the remote access and other server products of Original Equipment Manufacturers ("OEM"). In addition, some of its products are deployed by telecommunications network operators, applications service providers, internet service providers, and the operators of corporate local area and wide area networks for the purpose of providing access to and transport within their networks. And, our Sync Research ("Sync") subsidiary designs, manufactures, markets, sells and services frame relay products for some of the major financial institutions in the U.S. and abroad. We operate from our facility in Irvine, California. The Company, incorporated in Delaware as Sync Research, Inc., is the product of a reverse merger completed on August 31, 2000 with a wholly owned subsidiary of Sorrento Networks Corporation. This subsidiary was doing business as Entrada Networks. We acquired all the outstanding capital of Entrada Networks for 4,244,155 shares of our common stock, and the issuance of an additional 2,431,818 shares for cash of $8,025. Entrada Networks' obligation to its former parent of $25,469 was contributed to our capital as part of the merger. Subsequent to the merger, the former parent of Entrada Networks disposed of 5,517,500 of its shares of our common stock and holds approximately 1,152,500 or 8.9% of our common shares outstanding as of January 31, 2003. As a result of the merger, the former shareholder of Entrada Networks held a majority interest in the combined entity, which was renamed Entrada Networks, Inc. from Sync Research, Inc. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require in certain circumstances that a company whose shareholders retain the majority voting interest in the combined business be treated as the acquirer for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the merger was accounted for as a "reverse merger," whereby Entrada Networks was deemed to have purchased Sync Research, Inc. However, Sync remains the legal entity and the Registrant for Security and Exchange Commission reporting purposes and the financial statements of the combined entity now reflect the historical information of Entrada Networks prior to August 31, 2000. The merger is also accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, which requires the inclusion of the results of operations of Sync from the date acquired. The periods presented in the accompanying financial statements include the results of operations of Sync beginning on September 1, 2000. The aggregate fair value of assets acquired and the net cash invested in this business was $7,982. The excess of the aggregate cost over the fair value of net assets acquired was $4,326, which was recorded as goodwill in the quarter ended October 31, 2000 and was written off in 2001 as a component of other operating expense. We had also changed our year-end to that of Entrada Networks. For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2003, we began to formally quantify subsidiary financial information. We will provide additional detailed financial information in future form 10-Q and 10-K reports as appropriate. Discontinued operations. In September 2000, our Board of Directors had concluded that the operations of our frame relay business would not contribute to our profitability or toward our goal of entering the storage area networking market space and adopted a formal plan to discontinue this business operated by Sync. F-7 <Page> ENTRADA NETWORKS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (In Thousands, except share and per share amounts) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The $10.4 million loss on the disposal of Sync during the fiscal year ended January 21, 2001 is as follows: Amount Item (millions) Description - ---- ---------- ----------- Inventory impairment $ 2.2 This adjustment records a full reserve against the cost basis of Sync's inventory based upon the intent to abandon the inventory. This assumes that as a discontinued operation, the inventory value is zero as the need to dispose of inventory would result in minimal return. Severance 1.1 This adjustment records the costs associated with the termination of our employees and assumes the elimination of all of the Sync employees: 45 people including 8 change of control/contract personnel. Vendor payables 1.1 We recorded an accrual for costs due and payable under the termination provisions of an agreement with a contract manufacturing vendor. Lease termination accrual 0.7 We recorded an accrual for the remaining lease costs and lease related costs for the physical location of the discontinued operations, net of sub lease income. Goodwill impairment 4.3 Assumes 4.2 million shares at $2.75 per share offset by the valuation of Sync Research of $8.4 million at August 30, 2000 with the addition of $1.1 million merger expenses. Fixed asset impairment 1.0 This adjustment assumed that the Sync fixed asset book value would be fully reserved as a discontinued operation due to the abandonment of fixed assets. ----- Total Loss $10.4 ===== On September 6, 2001, we announced our restructuring plan creating three separate wholly owned subsidiaries. The discontinued frame relay business was retained as Sync Research, Inc. as one of the three subsidiaries. Sync Research, Inc. will continue to serve its current frame relay customers and provide manufacturing, service and repair facilities for the other subsidiaries. On September 18, 2001 our Board of Directors approved a plan to reclassify Sync Research as an operating unit. In this capacity, Sync Research, Inc. became an integral part of Entrada Networks. With the reclassification of Sync Research, Inc. as an operating unit during the third quarter of fiscal year ended January 31, 2002, the historical figures for the "Loss from Discontinued Operations" for twelve months ended January 31, 2001, as previously reported of $(155,000), was reclassified as an adjustment to operating expenses in cost of sales of $67,000; selling and marketing of $18,000; engineering of $30,000; and general and administrative of $40,000. To provide comparable financial statements, the prior period statements of operations reflect the reclassification of the impaired inventory of $2.2 million as a charge to "cost of sales", and $4.8 million as of January 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively of the disposal to "other expenses" leaving $3.4 million remaining as the (income) loss on discontinued operations. The $3.4 million offsetting balances in fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2002 income statements are the balance of the goodwill of $4.3 million reduced by the $0.9 million Sync Research income at the interim period when Sync was retained. As a result of the decision to discontinue and retain Sync Research, Inc., F-8 <Page> ENTRADA NETWORKS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (In Thousands, except share and per share amounts) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- there were no material commitments or contingencies. The historical figures for net loss did not change for the year ended January 31, 2001 and 2000. For the year ended January 31, 2001, Sync had net accounts receivables of $0.6 million, net inventory of $0.5 million, and prepaid expenses of $0.2 million offset by current liabilities of $2.0 million. The net increase in shareholder equity from the retention of Sync increased $3.4 million at January 31, 2001. B. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES All references to a fiscal year refer to the fiscal year ending on the January 31 of that year. For example, references to fiscal 2003 refer to the fiscal year beginning on February 1, 2002 and ending on January 31, 2003. Principles of Consolidation - The balance sheets as of January 31, 2003 and 2002 and the consolidated statement of operations for the years ended January 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 reflect our accounts and all subsidiaries controlled by us after the elimination of significant inter-company transactions and balances. Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, the values of purchased assets and assumed liabilities in acquisitions and the loss on disposal of discontinued operations. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents - All cash on hand and in banks, certificates of deposit and other highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents. Restricted Cash - Restricted cash represents amounts pledged as collateral for remaining lease payments on the facility occupied by us in Irvine, California. Accounts Receivable - In the normal course of business, we extend unsecured credit to our customers related to the sales of various products. Typically, credit terms require payment within thirty days from the date of shipment. We evaluate and monitor the creditworthiness of each customer on a case-by-case basis. We provide an allowance for doubtful accounts based on our continuing evaluation of our customers' credit risk. We generally do not require collateral from our customers. Inventory - Inventories, comprised of raw materials, work in process, finished goods and spare parts, are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. Inventories at January 31, 2003 and 2002 consist of: 2003 2002 ------- ------- Raw material $ 3,736 $ 6,599 Work in process 163 27 Finished goods 3,486 2,932 ------- ----- 7,385 9,558 Less: Valuation reserve (3,809) (5,459) ------ ------ $ 3,576 $ 4,099 ======= ======= Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The fair value of financial instruments is determined by reference to various market data and other valuation techniques as appropriate. We believe that there are no material differences between the recorded book values of our financial instruments and their estimated fair value. Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are recorded at historical cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided over the estimated useful lives of the individual assets or the terms of the leases, if shorter, using accelerated and straight-line methods. Useful lives for property and equipment range from 3 to 7 years. F-9 <Page> ENTRADA NETWORKS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (In Thousands, except share and per share amounts) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capitalized leases are initially recorded at the present value of the minimum payments at the inception of the contracts, with an equivalent liability categorized as appropriate under current or non-current liabilities. Such assets are depreciated on the same basis as described above. Interest expense, which represents the difference between the minimum payments and the present value of the minimum payments at the inception of the lease, is allocated to accounting periods using a constant rate of interest over the lease. Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the asset's undiscounted expected cash flows are not sufficient to recover its carrying amount. We measure impairment loss by comparing the fair market value, calculated as the present value of expected future cash flows, to its net book value. Impairment losses, if any, are recorded currently. Software Development - Software development costs where technological feasibility has not been established are expensed in the period in which they occurred. Internal software development costs are capitalized in accordance with Statement of Position 98-1. Otherwise, development costs that will become an integral part of our products are deferred in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86. The deferred costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product or the ratio that current revenues for the product bear to the total of current and anticipated future revenues for that product. Internal software that was terminated and expensed for the years ended January 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 was $0, $0, and $787, respectively. Research and Development - We expense research and development costs as incurred in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 2, "Accounting for Research and Development Costs". Research and development costs are costs associated with products or processes for which technological feasibility has not been proven and future benefits are uncertain. In-process research and development purchased by us includes the value of products and processes in the development stage and have not reached technological feasibility; this amount is expensed at the date of purchase. Revenue Recognition - We generally recognize product revenue when the products are shipped, all substantial contractual obligations, if any, have been satisfied, and the collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Revenue from installation is recognized as the services are performed to the extent of the direct costs incurred. Revenue from service obligations is deferred and recognized over the life of the contract. Inventory or demonstration equipment shipped to potential customers for field trials is not recorded as revenue. We accrue for estimated sales returns and other allowances at the time of shipment. Although some of our products contain a software component, the software is not sold separately and we are not contractually obligated to provide software upgrades to our customers. Warranty and Customer Support - We typically warrant our products against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one to five years from the date of sale and a provision for estimated future warranty and customer support costs is recorded when revenue is recognized. To date, warranty and customer support costs have not been material. Income Taxes - Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes." The statement employs an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting of deferred income taxes generally allowing for recognition of deferred tax assets in the current period for future benefit of net operating loss and research credit carry forwards as well as items for which expenses have been recognized for financial statement purposes but will be deductible in future periods. A valuation allowance is recognized if, on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. (See Note J). Advertising - We expense advertising expenditures as incurred. Advertising expenses consist of direct expenditures. Advertising expenses for fiscal 2003, 2002, and 2001 were $0, $184, and $30, respectively. Income and Loss Per Common Share -Basic income and loss per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period presented. Diluted EPS is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding as well as dilutive potential common shares, which in our case consist of shares issuable under stock option plans F-10 <Page> ENTRADA NETWORKS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (In Thousands, except share and per share amounts) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- and warrants. Potential common shares would not be included in the diluted loss per share computation for fiscal 2002 and 2001, as they would be anti-dilutive. (See Note K). Stock-Based Compensation - In December 2002, FASB issued Statement No. 148 (SFAS No. 148), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation -- Transition and Disclosure -- An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123." SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The Company is required to follow the prescribed format and provide the additional disclosures required by SFAS No. 148 in its annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002 and must also provide the disclosures in its quarterly reports containing condensed financial statements for interim periods beginning with the quarterly period ended March 31, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 148 did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations. The adoption of SFAS No. 148 did result in a modification of disclosure in our financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and will result in modified disclosure in our quarterly financial statements included in future quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. All stock options issued to employees have an exercise price not less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant, and in accordance with the accounting for such options utilizing the intrinsic value method there is no related compensation expense recorded in our financial statements. Options which were granted prior to our August 31, 2000 merger were valued as part of the consideration for the merger. Had compensation cost for stock-based compensation been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates in accordance with the method delineated in Statement of Accounting Standards No. 123 our net income and income per share for the year ended January 31, 2003 would decrease and our net loss and loss per share for the years ended January 31, 2002 and 2001, would have been increased to the pro forma amounts presented below: Fiscal Year --------------------------- 2003 2002 2001 ------ ------- -------- Net income (loss): As reported $1,742 $(7,249) $(21,129) Add: Stock based employee compensation expense -- -- -- Deduct: Total stock based employee compensation expense determined under fair value method (15) (836) (287) Pro forma 1,727 (8,085) (21,416) Income (loss) per share: Basic and diluted EPS as reported $ 0.14 $ (0.66)) $ (2.98) Pro forma basic and diluted EPS 0.13 (0.74) (3.02) New Accounting Pronouncements Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations - In June 2001, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 143 (SFAS No. 143), "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Statement requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred. When the liability is initially recorded, the entity capitalizes a cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Over time, the liability is accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. Upon settlement of the liability, an entity either settles the obligation for its recorded amount or incurs a gain or loss upon settlement. The adoption of SFAS No. 143 will not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations. Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections - In April 2002, FASB issued Statement No. 145 (SFAS No. 145), "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections" effective on or after May 15, 2002. This Statement rescinds SFAS No. 4 and an amendment of that Statement, and SFAS No. 64. This Statement also rescinds SFAS No. 44. SFAS No. 145 prevents gains or losses on the extinguishment of debt that do not meet F-11 <Page> ENTRADA NETWORKS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (In Thousands, except share and per share amounts) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the criteria of APB 30 to be treated as extraordinary. This Statement amends SFAS No. 13, to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. This Statement also amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. The adoption of SFAS No. 145 did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations. Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities - In June 2002, FASB issued Statement No. 146 (SFAS No. 146), "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities," effective for activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." The adoption of SFAS No. 146 did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations. In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others." In the course of business the Company has contractual guarantees in the form of warranties. However, these warranties are limited and do not represent significant commitments or contingent liabilities of the indebtedness of others. This pronouncement is effective for financial statements issued after December 15, 2002 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities," an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements." This pronouncement requires the consolidation of variable interest entities, as defined, and is effective immediately for variable interest entities created after January 31, 2002, and for variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. We have no variable interest entities and thus this interpretation is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements. C.

Borrowings under the credit line bear interest at the bank's prime rate plus 2.5% (10.7% Interest at January 31, 2003). In connection with the line of credit, we issued Silicon Valley Bank five-year warrants to purchase 75,757 shares of our common stock at $3.30 per share. The warrants were valued at $54,000 at the time of issuance. The $54,000 of deferred interest was amortized as interest expense over the twelve month term of the credit arrangement in the fiscal year 2002. The credit arrangement is subject to covenants regarding our tangible net worth, and is collateralized by accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. The credit facility will expire on October 31, 2003. In March 2003 the bank increased our eligible receivables limit to 80% of eligible accounts receivable. We are in compliance with our bank line of credit covenants as of January 31, 2003. We were in compliance with our debt covenants at January 31, 2003. E.

LONG-TERM DEBT Long-term debt at January 31, 2003 and 2002 consisted of the following: 2003 2002 ---- ---- $250 senior convertible note bearing interest at 10% per annum due January 29, 2004. Monthly interest payments with principal due upon maturity. The note was convertible into 1,923,077 shares of our common stock at $0.13 per share. The issuance of warrants with the debt which are convertible into 1,923,077 shares of our common stock at $0.13 per share expiring January 29, 2007 resulted in a beneficial conversion feature to the note holder. We recorded the debt net of a discount of $229 resulting from the value attributed to the warrants issued with the note and the beneficial conversion feature. We repaid the note on January 17,2003. -- 21 Obligations under finance leases (See Note H) 68 121 --- ---- 68 142 68 115 Less: Current portion --- ---- $-- $ 27 === ==== F-13 <Page> ENTRADA NETWORKS, INC.

In the merger agreement between Sync Research and our former parent, Sorrento Networks Corporation, Sorrento agreed to indemnify and hold us harmless against any liability arising after the merger in connection with the termination of a certain pension plan maintained by Entrada. A consultant retained by Sorrento and by the successor corporation to the entity from whom Sorrento originally purchased the company that became Entrada, has advised them that the cost of termination of the pension plan in question is in excess of $3 million. Our obligation is to oversee the administration of the plan. I. LITIGATION From time to time we are involved in various litigation and proceedings incidental to the normal conduct of our business. Although it is impossible to predict the outcome of any outstanding legal proceedings, we believe that such legal proceedings and claims, individually and in the aggregate, are not likely to have a material effect on our financial position, the results of operations or cash flows. J. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY We are authorized to issue the following shares of stock: 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock ($.001 par value) 2,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock ($.001 par value) None of our preferred stock was outstanding during the years ended January 31, 2003 and 2002. K. STOCK OPTION PLANS AND STOCK AWARD PLAN We have four stock options plans: The 1991 Stock Option Plan, the 1996 Stock Option Plan, the 1999 Stock Option Plan and the 2000 Stock Option Plan. Only the 2000 Stock Option Plan is in effect. This plan provides for the granting of incentive or non-statutory stock options to certain key employees, non-employee members of the Board of Directors, consultants and independent contractors. Options are granted at a price equal to 100% of the fair market value of our common stock at the date of grant. Options typically vest at a rate of 25% of the shares on the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date and 1/36th of the remaining shares at the end of each month and expire not later than 10 years from the date of grant. The purpose of this plan is to attract, retain, motivate and reward our officers, directors, employees and consultants to maximize their contribution toward our success. As a result of the accounting for our reverse merger with Entrada Networks (see Note A), we are considered as having no options to acquire our common stock outstanding prior to the August 31, 2000 merger date. The following table summarizes the activity in our plans: F-14 <Page> ENTRADA NETWORKS, INC.

L. INCOME TAXES At January 31, 2003, our deferred income tax assets consists of net operating loss carry forwards. At December 31, 2002 the Company had available federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $76 million and $26.8 million, respectively, for income tax purposes. The federal and state losses will expire in varying amounts through 2021 and 2007, respectively. As of January 2003, 2002 and 2001 our effective income tax rate differs from the federal statutory income tax rate due to state taxes net of federal benefit, and other items. The utilization of the loss carry forwards as an offset to future taxable income is subject to limitations under U.S. federal income tax laws. One such limitation is imposed when there is a greater than 50% ownership change. We believe that such an ownership change occurred on August 31, 2000. Of the approximately $76 million and $26.8 million NOL for federal and state taxes, approximately $64 million and $20.6 million will be subject to such limitation, respectively. At January 31, 2003 and 2002, a we recorded a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred F-15 <Page> ENTRADA NETWORKS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (In Thousands, except share and per share amounts) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- tax asset to zero because the recognizition of the tax benefit could not be assured. M. EARNINGS PER SHARE CALCULATION The following data show the amounts used in computing basic and diluted earnings per share. 2003 2002 2001 ----------- ----------- ---------- Net income (loss) available to common shareholders used in basic EPS $ 1,742 $ (7,249) $ (21,129) =========== =========== ========== Average number of common shares used in basic EPS 12,800,555 10,994,240 7,082,659 =========== =========== ========== We incurred a net loss from continuing operations for the years ending January 31, 2002 and 2001. Accordingly, the effect of dilutive securities including vested and non-vested stock options, warrants, and convertible debt, to acquire common stock are not included in the calculation of EPS because their effect would be antidilutive. The following data shows the effect on income and the weighted average number of shares of dilutive potential common stock. 2003 2002 2001 ----------- ----------- ---------- Net income (loss) available to common shareholders used in basic EPS $ 1,742 $ (7,249) $ (21,129) =========== =========== ========== Average number of common shares used in basic EPS 12,800,555 10,994,240 7,082,659 Effect of dilutive securities: stock benefit plans 84,134 -- -- ----------- ----------- ---------- Average number of common shares and dilutive potential common stock used in diluted EPS 12,884,689 10,994,240 7,082,659 =========== =========== ========== For the fiscal years ended January 31, 2002 and January 31, 2001, 148,495 and 92,065 options, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per shares because their exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares for the period. N. SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW DISCLOSURES On May 20, 2002, the board authorized the conversion of unpaid past due board fees, contributed capital, and compensation to be paid in stock. $189 of unpaid expenses were converted into 1,358,162 shares at prices between $0.13-$0.16 per share, the fair market value of our common stock at the date of grant. O. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of temporary cash investments and trade receivables. As regards the former, we place our temporary cash investments with high credit financial institutions and limit. At times such amounts may exceed F.D.I.C. limits. F-16 <Page> ENTRADA NETWORKS, INC.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On April 7, 2003 HandsOn Ventures, LLC. partially exercised their warrant for 240,000 shares of common stock in a cashless exercise that netted to 125,294 shares. The unexercised warrant balance is now 1,683,077 shares of common stock. The warrants expire on January 16, 2007. Cisco has advised that it will discontinue purchasing from us an adapter card starting from the third quarter of the current fiscal year. This will have a major impact on our future revenues and there can be no assurance that the sales of this legacy product line could be restored to its current levels. This adapter card was scheduled to go out of production last year but had been kept in production at Cisco's request while it qualified a replacement card. Q. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Effective October 12, 2001, our subsidiary Torrey Pines Network, Inc. sold on a non-exclusive basis rights relating to the Silverline'TM' -WDM product to Meret Communications, Inc. for $200, which was paid in full at that time. We have no further obligations to Meret regarding this technology. Meret is a subsidiary of Sorrento Networks Corporation, the owner of approximately 8.9% of our outstanding shares of common stock. Dr. Chadha's brother is the managing member of HandsOn Ventures, LLC, which had purchased the $250 senior convertible debenture due January 2004 and warrants due January 2007. The debenture was fully paid and retired in January 2003. R.
