These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Polaris Communications, Inc. as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1999 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. /s/ KPMG LLP Portland, Oregon February 18, 2000 F-2 5 POLARIS COMMUNICATIONS, INC.

F-6 9 POLARIS COMMUNICATIONS, INC. Notes to Financial Statements (1) DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) BACKGROUND Polaris Communications, Inc., founded in 1988 and incorporated in the State of Oregon, designs, develops and markets computer communication interfaces and systems. The Company's primary focus is on high-speed connectivity to IBM and plug-compatible mainframe channels. (b) USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. (c) RISK AND UNCERTAINTIES The Company's products are concentrated in the network storage industry which is highly competitive and subject to rapid technological change. The Company's products are manufactured under contract by one supplier. The loss of a major customer, interruption of product from the contract manufacturer or significant technological change in the industry could affect operating results adversely. (d) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and on deposit. The Company considers highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, cash equivalents consisted of money market funds and mutual funds and were deposited with one financial institution. While the Company's cash and cash equivalents are on deposit with a high quality FDIC insured financial institution, at times such deposits exceed insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. (e) ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Accounts receivable are net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $26,000 and $-0- at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. (f) INVENTORIES Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method, net of an allowance for old and obsolete items. F-7 10 POLARIS COMMUNICATIONS, INC. Notes to Financial Statements (g) PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT The Company's property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally three to five years for equipment and computer software and seven years for office furniture and fixtures. Expenditures that increase the value or extend the life of the assets are capitalized, while the cost of maintenance and repairs is expensed as incurred. Upon retirement or disposition of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and the related gains or losses are reflected in operations. (h) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The fair values of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate carrying value due to their short maturities. (i) REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company recognizes revenue upon shipment of goods to its customers for product sales. Service revenue is recognized upon certain milestones being met or upon the completion of the contract. (j) RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. (k) INCOME TAXES The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. (l) CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of trade accounts receivable. The Company extends credit to its customers based upon an evaluation of the customer's financial condition and credit history and generally does not require collateral. The Company has historically incurred minimal credit losses. The Company had one significant customer in 1999, 1998 and 1997 that accounted for greater than 10% of the Company's revenues. F-8 11 POLARIS COMMUNICATIONS, INC. Notes to Financial Statements (m) ADVERTISING COSTS Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising expenses were $70,181, $95,540, and $29,245 for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. (n) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the Financial Accounting Standard Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS 123), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. This statement permits a company to choose either a fair-value-based method of accounting for its stock-based compensation arrangements with employees or to comply with the Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25 (APB Opinion 25) intrinsic-value-based method adding pro forma disclosures of net (loss) income computed as if the fair-value-based method had been applied in the financial statements. The Company applies SFAS No. 123 by retaining the APB Opinion 25 method of accounting for stock-based compensation for employees with annual pro forma disclosures of net (loss) income. Stock-based compensation for non-employees is accounted for using the fair-value-based method. (o) COMPREHENSIVE LOSS The Company did not have any significant components of other comprehensive loss for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997. (p) SEGMENT REPORTING The Company adopted SFAS No. 131, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (SFAS 131). Based on definitions contained within SFAS 131, the Company has determined that it operates in one segment. (q) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133). SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative financial instruments and hedging activities related to those instruments, as well as other hedging activities. Because the Company does not currently hold any derivative instruments and does not engage in hedging activities, the Company expects that the adoption of SFAS 133 will not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company will be required to adopt SFAS 133 for the year ended December 31, 2001 in accordance with FASB SFAS No. 137, which delayed implementation of SFAS 133. F-9 12 POLARIS COMMUNICATIONS, INC. Notes to Financial Statements (2) INVENTORIES Inventories consist of the following: DECEMBER 31, -------------------------- 1999 1998 ---------- ---------- Raw materials $ 297,060 385,053 Finished goods 150,340 53,520 ---------- ---------- 447,400 438,573 Less inventory reserve (47,000) (77,000) ---------- ---------- $ 400,400 361,573 ========== ========== (3) PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment consist of the following: DECEMBER 31, -------------------------- 1999 1998 ---------- ---------- Equipment $ 219,096 177,833 Office furniture and fixtures 25,028 21,758 Computer software 53,202 53,200 Other fixed assets 13,767 13,768 ---------- ---------- 311,093 266,559 Less accumulated depreciation (218,083) (169,590) ---------- ---------- $ 93,010 96,969 ========== ========== (4) COMMITMENTS The Company leases office space under a long-term operating lease agreement which expires on December 31, 2001. Rental expense under this agreement was approximately $116,487, $98,172 and $98,172 for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997. The minimum annual future rentals under terms of the lease is as follows: Fiscal year: 2000 $120,509 2001 125,412 -------- $245,921 ======== F-10 13 POLARIS COMMUNICATIONS, INC. Notes to Financial Statements (5) INCOME TAXES The provision (benefit) for income taxes consists of the following: YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, ------------------------------------ 1999 1998 1997 -------- -------- -------- Current: Federal $(27,852) (6,914) 109,776 State 10 10 16,807 -------- -------- -------- Total current (27,842) (6,904) 126,583 -------- -------- -------- Deferred: Federal 26,425 (16,300) -- State (5,325) (8,700) -- -------- -------- -------- Total deferred 21,100 (25,000) -- -------- -------- -------- Provision (benefit) for income taxes $ (6,742) (31,904) 126,583 ======== ======== ======== The benefit (provision) for income taxes differs from the amounts computed by applying the federal statutory rate to income before income taxes: YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, ------------------------------------- 1999 1998 1997 -------- -------- -------- Tax computed at federal statutory rate (34.4)% 34.0 34.0 State income tax, net of federal effect 2.0 4.0 1.9 Nondeductible expenses 4.1 3.2 .9 Increase (decrease) in valuation allowance 81.2 5.3 4.7 Research credits (40.9) (65.3) (8.9) Graduated rates (13.5) (12.6) -- Other (4.9) (4.2) .2 -------- -------- -------- Effective tax rate (6.4)% (35.6) 32.8 ======== ======== ======== F-11 14 POLARIS COMMUNICATIONS, INC. Notes to Financial Statements The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are approximately as follows: 1999 1998 ---------- ---------- Deferred tax assets: State operating loss and contribution carryforwards $ 5,000 -- Research and experimentation credits 85,400 25,000 Inventory reserve 18,000 29,500 Allowance for doubtful accounts 10,000 -- Fixed assets 1,000 -- Other -- 500 ---------- ---------- Total deferred tax assets 119,400 55,000 Less valuation allowance (85,500) -- ---------- ---------- Net deferred tax assets $ 33,900 55,000 ========== ========== The total valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of January 1, 1999 and 1998 was $-0-. The net change in the total valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 was an increase of $85,500, $-0- and $-0-, respectively. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the change of ownership discussed in note 9, management does not believe it is more likely than not the Company will realize all the benefits of all deductible differences. Consequently, a valuation allowance has been established in an amount equal to the deferred tax asset for research and experimentation credit carryforwards. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company has state net operating loss and contribution carryforwards of approximately $103,000 and $-0-, respectively, and research and experimentation credit carryforwards of $93,000 and $27,500, respectively. These carryforwards will expire between 2003 and 2019. A provision of the Internal Revenue Code requires the utilization of net operating losses and research and experimentation credits be limited when there is a change of more than 50% in ownership of the Company. The net operating losses and research and experimentation credit carryforwards will be subject to limitations due to the subsequent ownership change as discussed in note 9. F-12 15 POLARIS COMMUNICATIONS, INC. Notes to Financial Statements (6) RETIREMENT PLAN The Company sponsors a Simplified Employee Pension Plan (SEP). At the discretion of management, contributions are made to the SEP Plan on behalf of employees. All contributions are fully vested. The Company's contributions to the SEP Plan for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 were $200,308, $167,930 and $161,885, respectively. (7) STOCK REPURCHASE In March 1999, the Company repurchased 100 shares from one of the Company's founders for $112,500. (8) STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN Effective March 1999, the Company adopted the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan (the Plan) which provides for the granting of stock options to employees, directors and consultants. Under the terms of the Plan, eligible employees may receive statutory and nonstatutory stock options, stock bonuses and stock appreciation rights for purchase of shares of the Company's common stock at prices, vesting, exercisability and such other terms as determined by the board of directors. Cancelled options are available for future grant. The Company has reserved 95 shares of its common stock for issuance under the Plan. The Company has computed, for pro forma disclosure purposes, the value of all options granted during the year ended December 31, 1999 using the minimum value method using the following weighted average assumptions for grants for the year ended December 31, 1999: Divided yield $ -- Risk-free interest rate 5.1% Expected life 7 years The Company applies Accounting Principle Bulletin Opinion No. 25 in accounting for stock options issued to employees and directors under the Plan and, accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for these stock options in the financial statements. Had the Company determined compensation expense based on the fair value at the grant date for its stock options under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, the Company's net loss would have been increased to the pro forma amounts indicated below: 1999 --------- Net loss: As reported $ (97,927) Pro forma (113,809) F-13 16 POLARIS COMMUNICATIONS, INC. Notes to Financial Statements A summary of the status of the Company's Plan at December 31, 1999 and changes during the year then ended is presented in the following table: WEIGHTED AVERAGE EXERCISE OPTIONS PRICE ---------- ---------- Outstanding, March 2, 1999 (date of Plan adoption) -- $ -- Granted 95 1,125 Exercised -- -- Canceled -- -- ---------- ---------- Outstanding, December 31, 1999 95 $ 1,125 ========== ========== The outstanding stock options have an exercise price of $1,125 and a weighted average remaining contractual life of nine years. At December 31, 1999, a total of 22 options were vested at a weighted average exercise price of $1,125 per share and with a weighted average remaining contractual life of nine years. The per share average fair value of options granted during the year ended December 31, 1999 was $338. The total fair value of options granted during the year ended December 31, 1999 was $32,085, which would be amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the options. (9) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS The Company entered into a definitive purchase agreement as of February 3, 2000 with Crossroads Systems, a developer and manufacturer of fibre channel storage routers. The transaction will be accounted for as a purchase and is expected to close in March. F-14 17 CROSSROADS SYSTEMS, INC.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the combined financial position or results of operations for future periods or the results that actually would have been realized had Polaris and Crossroads been a combined company during the specified periods. The pro forma consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, are qualified in their entirety by reference to, and should be read in conjunction with, the Company's Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three-months ended January 31, 2000 and in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 1999, and the audited financial statements of Polaris as of and for the three years ended December 31, 1999, which are included within this filing. The pro forma consolidated financial statements give effect to the acquisition of Polaris using the purchase method of accounting. The pro forma consolidated financial statements are based on the historical audited and unaudited financial statements of Polaris and Crossroads. Polaris' 1999 fiscal year ended December 31, 1999. Crossroads' 1999 fiscal year ended October 31, 1999.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The following notes identify the pro forma adjustments made to the historical amounts in the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements: (a) The adjustments to the unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet give effect to the Company's allocation of the Polaris purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets acquired, based on an independent third-party appraisal. The purchase price of $46.6 million was based on $44.5 million in Crossroads' common stock, $1.9 million in Crossroads' stock options exchanged for Polaris' stock options and other direct acquisition costs estimated to be approximately $0.2 million. The value of the 428,625 shares of Crossroads' common stock issued, par value $0.001 per share, is based on the share value of approximately $103.78 calculated as the average market price of Crossroads common stock during the five business days immediately preceding and subsequent to the date of the merger agreement. The value of the Crossroads stock options exchanged for the Polaris stock options (21,375 equivalent shares) was determined by using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Any adjustment from the acquisition cost estimates to actual costs will be recorded later in fiscal 2000 as an adjustment to goodwill. The Company's preliminary allocation of the Polaris purchase price of $46.6 million is as follows: Proven research and development - $1.0 million; Assembled workforce - $1.8 million; Customer base - $0.4 million; Fair value of other tangible assets acquired - $2.4 million; and Goodwill - $41.0 million. (b) These adjustments reflect the amortization expense resulting from the allocation of the purchase price including intangible assets recorded at their estimated fair market value and the recording of goodwill associated with the acquisition. Assigned lives for intangible assets are as follows: Proven research and development - 3 to 7 years; Assembled workforce - 4 years; Customer base - 15 years; and Goodwill - 3 years. Assigned lives for property and equipment are as follows: Machinery and Equipment - 1 to 3 years; and Furniture and Fixtures - 3 to 5 years; (c) This adjustment reflects the net effect of the elimination of the historical capital structure of Polaris from the unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet. F-20 23 CROSSROADS SYSTEMS, INC. NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (d) The net deferred tax liability resulting from the temporary differences, which has arisen out of the Company's purchase business combination with Polaris (primarily related to the exchange of Crossroads' stock options for Polaris' stock options and the recording of identifiable intangible assets), has been offset against the Company's existing valuation allowance for net deferred tax asset in connection with the purchase accounting for the acquisition. (e) Since the Pro Forma Statement of Operations results in a loss from continuing operations, the pro forma basic and diluted loss from continuing operations per common share are computed by dividing the loss from continuing operations available to common stockholders' by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The calculation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding assumes that the 428,625 shares of the Company's common stock issued in the acquisition of the Polaris were outstanding at the beginning of the respective periods. (f) These adjustments reflect the pro forma adjustments required to conform to the Company's accounting policies as if the acquisition occurred at the beginning of the period, such as a consistent allocation of overhead, depreciation and classification of sales commissions and license fees.
