EXPLANATORY NOTE This Form 10-Q relates to quarterly periods prior to consummation of Datalink Corporation's initial public offering.

The words "aim," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate" and other expressions which indicate future events and trends identify forward-looking statements. Actual future results and trends may differ materially from historical results or those anticipated depending upon a variety of factors, including, but not limited to: the Company's dependence on supplier relationships, competition in the market for open systems storage, competitive pricing pressures, dependence of the Company on key personnel, possible strain placed on the Company's resources by growth and expansion, the Company's reliance of its suppliers to meet the needs of rapid technological change, risks associated with possible future acquisitions, fluctuations in quarterly operating results, risk associated with the Company's use of proceeds from its initial public offering, the possibility of denial of the Company's prior S corporation status by the Internal Revenue Service for any or all of the periods during which the Company claimed such status and the consequent tax burden on its income and the impact of Year 2000 issues on the Company and its operations.

Datalink Corporation Notes To Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (Unaudited) 1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated results of operations for the three month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998. These unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated audited financial statements and notes thereto included in Datalink's Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 2. Net Income Per Share Basic and diluted Basic net income per share has been computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding. The diluted net income per share includes the effect of common stock equivalents for each period. There were no common stock equivalents for the three month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998. -4- 5 Pro forma Concurrent with the IPO, the Company terminated its status as an S corporation and became subject to federal and state income taxes. Accordingly, for informational purposes, the accompanying statements of operations for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, include a pro forma adjustment for the income taxes to have been recorded had the Company been a C corporation, based on then applicable tax laws. Pro forma net income per share is computed by dividing pro forma net income by the weighted average number of shares and equivalent shares outstanding for the applicable period after giving effect to the estimated number of shares required to be sold at the IPO price and after deducting the underwriting discounts to fund the distribution to the S corporation stockholders of all previously taxed, but undistributed, S corporation earnings. 3. Comprehensive Income The Company has no comprehensive income other than net income. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. The information contained under the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" section of the Definitive Prospectus is incorporated herein by reference except for (i) the full-year 1998, 1997 and 1996 information under the caption "Results of Operations" and (ii) the information under the caption "Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996." References to the "offering" mean Datalink's initial public offering of its Common Stock. In addition, the following information is part of this Item 2: COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 AND 1998 Net Sales. Net sales increased $9.8 million, or 49.0%, to $29.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999, from $20.0 million for the comparable period in 1998. The increased sales were primarily attributable to the July 1998 acquisition of DCSI, the hiring of DCSI's and other new sales and engineering personnel and the opening of new sales offices. Additionally, the higher sales reflect the increasing demand for more complex data storage products, which has resulted in higher equipment, software and services revenues. Gross Profit. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales remained relatively constant at 25.6% for the three months ended June 30, 1999, as compared to 25.5% for the comparable period in 1998. Although the Company increased its percentage of sales of large, sophisticated storage systems to end-user customers, which typically have generated higher margins than sales to VAR and OEM customers, this was offset by higher installation and maintenance contract costs. -5- 6 Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses totaled 11.3% of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1999, compared to 8.1% of net sales for the comparable period in 1998. The Company has incurred increased costs relating to the hiring of new sales and marketing personnel in addition to absorbing the incremental costs related to the operations of DCSI. Approximately 70% of sales and marketing costs are directly variable with sales. General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses were 6.4% of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1999, compared to 3.8% of net sales for the comparable period in 1998. Of the increased general and administrative expenses, approximately $205,000 or 0.7% of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was amortization of identifiable intangible assets and goodwill related to the Company's acquisition of DCSI. Depreciation expense related to the Company's new information systems implemented in late 1998 increased significantly from the comparable period in 1998. In addition, rent and communications expense increased relative to the comparable period in 1998 due primarily to the acquisition of DCSI and the opening of additional sales offices. Profit sharing and professional services expenses also increased relative to the comparable period in 1998. Engineering. Engineering expenses increased to 2.0% of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1999, compared to 1.9% of net sales for the comparable period in 1998. The Company has continued to add new engineering personnel and has increased the compensation levels for its engineers in order to more effectively compete for engineering human resources. Additionally, the Company's costs for engineering travel have increased as sales have increased. Income Taxes. The Company has elected to be taxed as an S corporation under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and comparable state income tax law. Under those provisions, the Company's income is reported on the individual tax returns of the Company's stockholders. As such, the Company is generally not subject to corporate income taxes. The only exceptions are a few states that do not recognize the S corporation status. The $39,000 shown as tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 1999 is the tax provision related to these states. Concurrent with the closing of the Company's proposed initial public offering, the Company's S corporation status will terminate and its taxable income will be subject to federal and state C corporation income tax regulation. PART II OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. As of the date hereof, the Company is not involved in any material legal proceedings. -6- 7 ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS. (c) In June 1999, the Company authorized the grant of non-incentive options under its Incentive Plan to the four non-employee directors that vested coincident with the first closing on the Company's initial public offering to purchase an aggregate of 36,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. These options are exercisable for ten years from the date of grant at an exercise price of $7.50 per share. In June and July 1999, the Company authorized the grant of incentive options under the Incentive Plan to 130 employees of the Company to purchase an aggregate of 711,300 shares of the Company's Common Stock. All of the incentive options vest 25% per year over four years and, once vested, will be exercisable for ten years from the date of the Board action at an exercise price of $7.50 per share. The Company believes that the grant of all of these options (which occurred coincident with the first closing of the Company's initial public offering) was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, because no sale of securities occurred. ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES. None ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS. On June 11, 1999, the stockholders of the Company voted by unanimous written action to approve an amendment and restatement of the Datalink Corporation Incentive Compensation Plan increasing the authorized number of options and other rights thereunder to cover up to 1,350,000 shares and to provide for annual options grants to non-employee directors commencing as of the Company's 2000, rather than 1999, annual meeting of stockholders.
