AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein as of March 31, 2000, and for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which, other than the second quarter 2000 impairment loss as described in Note 2, consist only of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The consolidated results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. 2. IMPAIRMENT LOSS In March 2000, the Company recorded a charge of $18.1 million reflecting the write-down of the carrying value of all of the intangible assets associated with the NetBlazer technology and some of the goodwill acquired in the Company's July 1998 purchase of ITK. The write-down resulted from the Company's March 2000 decision to discontinue development of the NetBlazer technology when the key technical members of the NetBlazer technology team elected to leave the Company and the Company concluded that it would not be able to successfully develop a competitive product from the technology. Accordingly, the Company determined that future undiscounted cash flows from the acquired ITK assets would be substantially reduced and, therefore, the carrying value of the acquired ITK assets would be impaired. The Company utilized a discounted cash flows valuation method as described in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," to measure the adjustment to the carrying value of the acquired ITK long-lived assets. The write-down of the carrying value of the long-lived assets consisted of the following: ------------------------------------------------------------------ Impairment Description Loss ------------------------------------------------------------------ Current Technology $10,491,837 Assembled Workforce 252,646 Goodwill 7,323,766 ----------- TOTAL $18,068,249 ----------- 6 7 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 3. RESTRUCTURING In March 1999, the Company's Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan related to the reorganization of sales and marketing functions in Germany, England and the United States, by consolidating worldwide sales and marketing resources into strategic locations. The original related charge of $1,452,909 ($581,164 net of tax benefits) consisted of $151,038 of existing commitments for rent on facilities vacated by the Company in Hamburg, Nurnberg, and Frankfurt, Germany and $1,301,871 of termination payments associated with the elimination of 44 positions in Dortmund, Germany; Bagshot, England; Sunnyvale, California; and Minneapolis, Minnesota. As of December 31, 1999, the Company had paid $906,299 of termination costs relating to the elimination of 33 positions. Restructuring activities were completed as of December 1999. During the second quarter of fiscal 2000, the final severance and termination expenses were paid, and the Company adjusted the remaining restructuring accrual to zero. Adjustments to the restructuring accrual were reflected as a reduction in the restructuring accrual and a corresponding increase to operating income. A summary of payments and adjustments as of March 31, 2000 is included in the table below. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance at Change in Balance at September 30, Estimate March 31, Description 1999 Payments Adjustments 2000 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Severance and termination costs $271,704 $(146,767) $(124,937) $0 Rent commitments 20,472 (7,312) (13,160) 0 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL $292,176 $(154,079) $(138,097) $0 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- In July 1998, the Company's Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan related to the consolidation of its offices in Germany and England. The restructuring plan relates to the closure of existing leased facilities rendered redundant by the acquisition of ITK. The original charge of $1,020,000 ($647,000 net of tax benefits), consisted of $61,483 of noncancellable rent commitments the Company expected to incur following closure of the Cologne, Germany facility; $100,110 of contractual payment obligations for office furniture and other equipment the Company expected to incur following the closure of the Cologne, Germany facility; $202,039 related to the write-off of leasehold improvements in connection with the closure of the Cologne, Germany facility; and $656,368 of termination payments associated with the elimination of six positions in Cologne, Germany and Bagshot, England. The Company closed the Cologne facility in December 1998. Restructuring activities were completed as of June 1999. Adjustments to the restructuring accrual were reflected as a reduction in the restructuring accrual and a corresponding increase to operating income. The accrual balance represents remaining commitments on the Cologne, Germany facility. A summary of payments, adjustments, and the remaining costs accrued as of March 31, 2000 is included in the table below. 7 8 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 3.

Components of the original estimated liability included $1,844,000 of termination payments associated with 10 employees the Company expected to eliminate at the Chelmsford, Massachusetts ITK location and 20 employees the Company expected to eliminate at the Dortmund, Germany location and $1,640,000 of noncancellable rent obligations for facilities the Company expected to incur following closure of facilities in Chelmsford, Massachusetts and Bristol and Newbury, England. The Company vacated the Chelmsford, Bristol, and Newbury facilities in March 1999, October 1998 and May 1999, respectively. Restructuring activities were completed as of June 1999. Adjustments to the restructuring accrual were reflected as changes to the restructuring accrual with corresponding offsets to goodwill. During the second quarter of fiscal 2000, the final severance, termination and facility closure costs were paid. A summary of payments and adjustments as of March 31, 2000 is included in the table below. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance at Change in Balance at September 30, Estimate March 31, Description 1999 Payments Adjustments 2000 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Severance and termination costs $22,869 $(5,217) $(17,652) $0 Facility closures 35,397 (1,928) (33,469) 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TOTAL $58,266 $(7,145) $(51,121) $0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ In connection with the Company's acquisition of CDC, the Company formulated a plan of reorganization and, accordingly, recognized a $750,000 restructuring liability which the Company has included as a component of total liabilities assumed in the acquisition.

NET LOSS PER SHARE Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average of common shares outstanding during the period. Net loss per share, assuming dilution, is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during each period. The Company's only common stock equivalents are those that result from dilutive common stock options. The calculation of diluted loss per share for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 excluded such equivalent shares because their effect would be antidilutive. These equivalent shares were 1,155,230 and 767,273 for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2000, and 268,311 and 276,223 for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 1999. Shares used in the computations for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 are as follows: Three months ended Six months ended March 31 March 31 ------------------------------ ------------------------------ 2000 1999 2000 1999 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Weighted average shares, basic and diluted 15,062,575 14,590,771 15,015,184 14,581,396 7. RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 101 "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." The SAB summarizes certain of the SEC's views regarding revenue recognition. The provisions of SAB 101, as amended by SAB No. 101A, are effective for the quarter ended December 31, 2000. The Company has analyzed the effect of the guidance outlined in SAB Nos. 101 and 101A, and does not believe that it will impact the Company's revenue recognition practices or consolidated financial statements. 8. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Discussion of legal matters is incorporated by reference from Part II, Item I of this Form 10-Q "Legal Proceedings" and should be considered an integral part of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. 10 11 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Digi International Inc.: We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Digi International Inc. and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2000, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations for each of the three month and six month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We previously audited in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1999, and the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated December 15, 1999 we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1999, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived. /s/ PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP Minneapolis, Minnesota April 17, 2000 11 12 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth selected information derived from the Company's interim condensed consolidated statements of operations expressed as percentages of sales: Three months % Six months % ended Increase ended Increase March 31 (decrease) March 31 (decrease) ---------------- ----------- ----------------- ---------- 2000 1999 2000 1999 ---- ---- ---- ---- Net sales 100.0 100.0 (39.5)% 100.0 100.0 (29.9)% Cost of sales 52.4 56.7 (44.0) 47.8 52.2 (35.8) ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------- Gross margin 47.6 43.3 (33.6) 52.2 47.8 (23.4) ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------- Operating expenses: Sales and marketing 30.7 25.7 (27.7) 24.1 24.4 (30.6) Research and development 23.2 13.8 1.5 18.9 13.1 0.9 General and administrative 18.9 15.9 (28.1) 16.8 14.0 (16.1) Impairment loss 70.0 - - 27.4 - - Restructuring (0.5) 3.4 109.5 (0.2) 1.5 109.5 ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------- Total operating expenses 142.3 58.8 46.3 87.0 53.1 14.9 ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------- Operating loss (94.7) (15.5) (269.8) (34.8) (5.3) (360.5) Other income (expense) 33.7 (0.1) - 13.9 (0.3) 3,830.3 ------ ------ ------ ------ ------- Loss before income taxes (61.0) (15.6) (137.0) (20.9) (5.6) (163.7) Income tax benefit (9.5) (10.3) (44.1) (2.3) (3.7) (56.0) ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------- Net loss (51.5) (5.3) (490.0)% (18.6) (1.9) (590.3)% ====== ====== ====== ====== ====== ======= NET SALES Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2000, were lower than net sales for the corresponding three months ended March 31, 1999, by $16.8 million or 39.5%; net sales for the six months ended March 31, 2000 were lower than net sales for the corresponding six months ended March 31, 1999, by $28.1 million or 29.9%. Net sales of the products added in connection with the July 1998 acquisitions of ITK and CDC generated revenues of $6.4 million and $13.4 million for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2000, respectively, versus $9.6 million and $23.3 million in the comparable periods of 1999. The Company also experienced a decline in sales of its legacy asynchronous products in the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2000, resulting in reduced revenues of $14.8 million and $19.8 million, respectively. A decrease in demand for the Company's physical layer products resulted in reduced revenues of $0.5 million and $3.7 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2000, versus the comparable periods in 1999. Net sales of the Company's new digital RAS products were $2.6 million and $7.4 million during the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2000, as compared to $0.8 million and $2.0 million in the comparable year ago periods. The Company's reduction in net sales during both the three and six month periods ending March 31, 2000, is attributed to an industry-wide slowdown in purchasing patterns as a result of concerns relating to the Year 2000 changeover, as well as an apparent erosion of the asynchronous serial port market. Management believes that the sales slowdown due to Year 2000 concerns will not be a material factor in the future. The Company has begun an initiative to focus its investment in 12 13 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONTINUED) NET SALES (CONTINUED) the growth markets of the heritage board product lines, specifically terminal server and USB, in an effort to mitigate the effect that the decline in the asynchronous products has had on net sales. In addition, the Company will also strategically focus on the fiber connectivity market in the MiLAN business and the convergence gateway markets in the wide area network arena. The Company believes that the new strategy of focus and execution in these emerging markets will drive future revenue growth. The following table sets forth revenue by principal product group expressed as a percentage of net sales: Three months Six months ended March 31 ended March 31 -------------- -------------- 2000 1999 2000 1999 ---- ---- ---- ---- Server Based 88.3% 91.6% 91.6% 90.2% Physical Layer 11.7% 8.4% 8.4% 9.8% ------- ------- ------- ------- Total 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% GROSS MARGIN Gross margin for the three and six months ended March 31, 2000 was 47.6% and 52.2%, as compared to 43.3% and 47.8% for the three and six months ended March 31, 1999. For the three months ended March 31, 2000, gross margin as a percent of net sales exceeded the prior year percent, largely due to nonrecurring charges in the German location in March 1999 to write down obsolete inventories and to dispose of remaining Telebit modem products at discounted prices. For the six months ended March 31, 2000, gross margin was positively impacted by the increased proportion of sales from higher margin server-based communication products and decreased sales of lower margin physical layer LAN products. OPERATING EXPENSES Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2000 decreased $4.9 million (excluding the impairment charge of $18.1 million and the restructuring adjustment of $0.1 million recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2000) or 20.6% as compared to operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1999 (excluding the second quarter of fiscal 1999 restructuring charge of $1.5 million). These expense decreases can be attributed to reductions in workforce, decreased marketing costs and other cost savings achieved through the closing of certain German sales offices and other restructuring activities. Variable operating costs, such as commissions, coop advertising, and other marketing expenses were also lower given the reduced revenues for the quarter. Operating expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2000 decreased $9.0 million (excluding the impairment charge of $18.1 million and the restructuring adjustment of $0.1 million recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2000) or 18.7% as compared 13 14 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONTINUED) OPERATING EXPENSES (CONTINUED) to operating expenses for the six months ended March 31, 1999 (excluding the second quarter of fiscal 1999 restructuring charge of $1.5 million). Expense decreases realized as a result of the restructuring plan enacted in 1999 accounted for approximately $2.2 million of the total decrease in operating expenses. Additional expense decreases at the Dortmund, Germany location were $2.3 million, a result of the reorganization in connection with the Company's acquisition of ITK. Savings in the U.S. were $4.5 million, primarily attributable to lower revenues and restructuring activities that took place during fiscal 1999 as described in Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Sales and marketing expenses for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2000, were $7.9 million and $15.9 million, versus $11.0 million and $22.9 million in the comparable periods a year ago. The decrease is due to various restructuring activities that took place during fiscal 1999. In addition, revenue related expenses, such as commissions and coop advertising, are lower than they were in fiscal 1999 due to the shortfall in sales in fiscal 2000 compared to the year ago period. Compensation costs have also been lower than 1999 due to unfilled sales and marketing positions. Management anticipates an increase in absolute dollars of these expenses as personnel are hired in the second half of fiscal 2000. Research and development expenses were $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000, an increase of $0.1 million over the comparable period in the prior year. For the six months ended March 31, 2000, research and development expenses were $12.5 million, as compared to $12.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 1999. The Company continues to invest in developing new digital RAS products, as well as new product line extensions in the LAN market. General and administrative expenses for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2000, were $4.9 million and $11.1 million, versus $6.8 million and $13.2 million in the comparable periods a year ago. Expenses declined in fiscal 2000 as a result of restructuring activities such as the integration of the CDC and Chelmsford administrative functions into the Company's corporate headquarters. IMPAIRMENT LOSS As indicated in Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company recorded a charge of $18.1 million reflecting the write-down of the carrying value of all of the intangible assets associated with the NetBlazer technology and some of the goodwill acquired in the Company's July 1998 purchase of ITK. The write-down resulted from the Company's March 2000 decision to discontinue development of the NetBlazer technology when the key technical members of the NetBlazer technology team elected to leave the Company and the Company concluded that it would not be able to successfully develop a competitive product from the technology. Accordingly, the Company determined that future undiscounted cash flows from the acquired ITK assets would be substantially reduced and, therefore, the carrying value of the acquired ITK assets would be impaired. The Company utilized a discounted cash flows valuation method as described in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," to measure the adjustment to the carrying value of the acquired ITK long-lived assets. 14 15 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONTINUED) ACQUIRED IN-PROCESS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT During July, 1998 the Company acquired ITK and CDC. These transactions were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase prices were allocated to the net assets acquired based on their estimated fair market values at the date of the acquisitions. The portion of the purchase price allocated to purchased in-process technology was related to research projects for which technological feasibility had not been established, including Voice-over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology ($11.3 million) and Universal Serial Bus (USB) technology ($4.8 million). See the IMPAIRMENT LOSS section of MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION for discussion related to the discontinuation of the NetBlazer product line, which utilized the acquired VoIP technology. The Company has developed the acquired in-process USB research and development and has developed and released USB products, with initial product revenues generated during November 1998. Since acquisition, total revenues through March 31, 2000 from the first release of certain USB products are approximately $484,000 of which $73,000 was generated during the quarter ended March 31, 2000. Actual total USB revenues are below original projections due to delays in the release and marketing of certain USB products. The Company believes that these delays will not materially reduce expected revenues to be generated from USB products. However, these expectations are subject to change, depending upon changes in market conditions. OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE) Other income for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2000, was $8.7 million and $9.2 million. During the second fiscal quarter of 2000, the Company received an $8.0 million payment from Nx Networks, the company which acquired AetherWorks Corporation. This represents payment in full of a non-convertible note receivable from AetherWorks (assumed by Nx Networks), previously recorded by the Company as having no carrying value, due to significant uncertainty as to its collectability. Other income also includes interest earned on cash and cash equivalents, partially offset by interest expense on line of credit borrowings and long-term debt. Other expense for the three months and six months ended March 31, 1999, was $0.04 million and $0.2 million, representing interest on the debt assumed in the acquisition of ITK, offset by earnings on cash and cash equivalents. INCOME TAXES Income taxes have been provided for at an estimated annual effective rate of 11% for the six months ended March 31, 2000, compared to an estimated annual effective rate of 66% for the six months ended March 31, 1999. The lower estimate effective tax rate in 2000 is primarily due to the accounting treatment of deferred tax liabilities related to the ITK intangible asset impairment loss (see Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). 15 16 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONTINUED) FINANCIAL CONDITION LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company has financed its operations principally with funds generated from operations. The Company's working capital increased from $59.9 million at September 30, 1999, to $66.7 million at March 31, 2000. Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended March 31, 2000, was $14.6 million, compared to net cash provided by operations of $9.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 1999. The impairment loss incurred in the second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2000, as discussed in Note 2 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and other non-cash charges, reduced operating and net income, but did not affect the Company's cash flow. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2000, consisted of net purchases of marketable securities of $14.0 million and $1.6 million was used for purchase of equipment and capital improvements. For the six months ended March 31, 1999, $3.1 million was used for purchases of equipment and capital improvements, and the Company received proceeds of $0.9 million from the sale of fixed assets. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six month period ended March 31, 2000, was $1.2 million, mostly resulting from employee stock benefit plan transactions. For the six months ended March 31, 1999, $6.0 million in payments were made on line of credit and debt obligations. During the quarter ended March 31, 1999, the Company used $0.8 million of cash to purchase 105,000 shares of the Company's stock at an average price of $7.76 per share for use in the Company's benefit plans and the Company received $0.7 million from employee stock plan transactions. The Company's management believes that current financial resources, cash generated from operations and the Company's potential capacity for additional debt and/or equity financing will be sufficient to fund current and future capital requirements. FOREIGN CURRENCY Effective January 1, 1999, eleven countries of the European Union converted to a common currency called the "Euro." All invoicing activity within the European Union is required to be transacted in Euros, effective January 1, 2002. This action will cause some of the Company's European transactions to be negotiated, invoiced, and paid in Euros. Additional currency risk may exist when sales from the United States into the European Union are transacted in Euros rather than U.S. dollars. Such costs and risks are not quantifiable at this time. For the three months and six months ended March 31, 2000, the Company had approximately $11.7 million and $26.4 million of net sales related to foreign customers, respectively. For the three month period ended March 31, 2000, $10.3 million was denominated in U.S. dollars and $1.4 million was denominated in Deutschemarks. For the six month period ended March 31, 2000, $23.2 million was denominated in U.S. dollars and $3.2 million was denominated in Deutschemarks. In future periods, a significant portion of sales will be made in Deutschemarks 16 17 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONTINUED) FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONTINUED) FOREIGN CURRENCY (CONTINUED) until full integration of the Euro is achieved. The Company has not implemented a hedging strategy to reduce the risk of foreign currency translation exposures. YEAR 2000 ISSUES The Company experienced no adverse systems effects of the Year 2000 issue. However, the Company has experienced some adverse operational effects from the Year 2000 issue as a result of the industry wide slowdown in sales, as discussed in the Net Sales section of Management's Discussion and Analysis, Consolidated Results of Operations. While the Company has not been able to quantify the effects of the Year 2000 sales impact versus other market factors, management believes that there will be no further material adverse effects on sales from the Year 2000 issue. INFLATION Management believes inflation has not had a material effect on the Company's operations or on its financial position.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONTINUED) FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONTINUED) RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 101 "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." The SAB summarizes certain of the SEC's views regarding revenue recognition. The provisions of SAB 101, as amended by SAB No. 101A, are effective for the quarter ended December 31, 2000. The Company has analyzed the effect of the guidance outlined in SAB Nos. 101 and 101A , and does not believe that it will impact the Company's revenue recognition practices or financial statements. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company does not have material exposure to market risk from market risk sensitive financial instruments other than the currency risk associated with certain transactions being denominated in Deutschemarks. 18 19 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Between January 3, 1997 and March 7, 1997, the Company and certain of its previous officers were named as defendants in putative securities class action lawsuits filed in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota by 21 lead plaintiffs on behalf of an alleged class of purchasers of the Company's common stock during the period January 25, 1996 through December 23, 1996. The putative class actions were thereafter consolidated (Master File No. 97-5 DWF/RLE). The Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint ("Consolidated Amended Complaint") alleges that the Company and certain of its previous officers violated the federal securities laws by, among other things, misrepresenting and/or omitting material information concerning the Company's operations and financial results. On February 25, 1997, the Company and certain of its previous officers also were named as defendants in a securities lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota by the Louisiana State Employees Retirement System (Civil File No. 97-440, Master File No. 97-5 DWF/RLE) (the "Louisiana Amended Complaint"). The Louisiana Amended Complaint alleges that the Company and certain of its previous officers violated the federal securities laws and state common law by, among other things, misrepresenting and/or omitting material information concerning the Company's operations and financial results. In a decision issued on May 22, 1998, the Court dismissed without leave to replead all claims asserted in both cases, except for certain federal securities law claims based upon alleged misrepresentations and/or omissions relating to the accounting treatment applied to the Company's AetherWorks investment. The Court also limited the claims asserted in the Louisiana Amended Complaint to the 11,000 shares of the Company's stock held subsequent to November 14, 1996, for which the Louisiana Amended Complaint claims damages of $184,276.40 and seeks an award of attorneys' fees, disbursements and costs. The Consolidated Amended Complaint seeks compensatory damages of approximately $43.1 million, plus interest, against all defendants, jointly and severally, and an award of attorneys' fees, experts' fees and costs. The claims in the two actions remain pending against the Company and its former officers Ervin F. Kamm, Jr. and Gerald A. Wall. Discovery in all of the actions has been completed. The 21 lead plaintiffs have moved for class certification with respect to the claims asserted in the Consolidated Amended Complaint. The Company and its former officers have opposed the motion and have also filed a motion to remove the lead plaintiffs for failure to conduct themselves properly as lead plaintiffs. Both the class certification motion and the motion to remove the lead plaintiffs are scheduled to be heard by the Court on June 8, 2000. The Company and its former officers served motions for summary judgment in all actions on November 19, 1999. A hearing on the motions was held before the Court on April 28, 2000, at which time the motions were taken under advisement by the Court. The ultimate outcomes of these actions cannot be determined at this time, and no potential assessment of their effect, if any, on the Company's financial position, liquidity or future operations can be made. 19 20 PART II.
