                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

                  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
         include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries,
         and have been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally
         accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, these
         unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments,
         consisting only of those of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a
         fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results of
         operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods indicated.
         The results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods
         ended June 29, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results
         expected for the full fiscal year. While the Company believes that the
         disclosures presented are adequate to make the information not
         misleading, these consolidated financial statements should be read in
         conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related
         notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
         fiscal year ended December 30, 1995.

         In June 1996, the Company issued approximately 691,587 shares of its
         common stock in exchange for all the outstanding shares of AirSoft,
         Inc. (the "AirSoft Acquisition"). AirSoft, Inc. ("AirSoft") designs,
         manufactures and sells performance enhancement software products. The
         AirSoft Acquisition has been accounted for as a pooling of interests,
         and therefore the consolidated financial statements for all periods
         prior to the AirSoft Acquisition have been restated to include the
         accounts and operations of AirSoft with those of the Company.

         Certain amounts have been reclassified with regard to presentation of
         the financial information of the two companies. Revenues and net income
         (loss) for each of the previously separate companies for the periods
         prior to the AirSoft Acquisition are as follows (in thousands):

         In connection with the AirSoft Acquisition, the Company incurred
         charges to operations of $1,987,000 in the quarter ended June 29, 1996,
         the quarter in which the acquisition was consummated. Such charges
         include: (a) transaction costs to effect the acquisition, consisting of
         financial advisor fees of $1,350,000 plus $325,000 for legal,
         regulatory and accounting expenses and (b) employee severance payments
         and other miscellaneous expenses of $312,000.

2.       NET INCOME PER SHARE:

         Net income per share is calculated based on the weighted average number
         of common shares and common equivalent shares assumed outstanding
         during the period.

3.       COMMON STOCK:

         On April 2, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors declared a
         two-for-one stock split, payable in the form of a stock dividend, on
         all shares of its common stock, which was paid on April 22, 1996 to
         stockholders of record on April 12, 1996. These financial statements
         and related notes have been retroactively adjusted, where appropriate,
         to reflect this two-for-one stock split.

         At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders on May 15, 1996, the stockholders
         of the Company approved (1) an increase in the number of authorized
         shares of common stock of the Company from 50,000,000 to 100,000,000
         shares and (2) an increase in the number of shares available for
         issuance under the Company's Amended and Restated 1988 Stock Plan from
         4,100,000 to 4,850,000 shares.

4.       CASH EQUIVALENTS AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS:

         The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an
         original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents, and
         those with maturities of greater than three months as short-term
         investments. At June 29, 1996, the Company had $4,992,000 of short-term
         investments, including an unrealized gain of $112,000, recorded as a
         separate component of stockholders' equity in accordance with Statement
         of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
         Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." The Company's short-term
         investments at June 29, 1996, classified as available-for-sale, consist
         of U.S. Treasury securities with various maturity dates through
         September 1996. Realized gains or losses on the sale of securities are
         calculated using the specific identification method. The Company has
         had no realized gains or losses on its securities to date.

5.       INVENTORIES:


         Inventories consist of the following:


                                               June 29,        December 30,

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED JUNE 29, 1996 COMPARED WITH THE THREE-MONTH PERIOD
ENDED JULY 1, 1995.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         REVENUES. Revenues increased by 95%, to $51,485,000, for the
three-month period ended June 29, 1996, from $26,376,000 in the comparable
period in fiscal 1995. This increase was principally due to higher revenues
from the Company's remote access products. Remote access product revenues
increased by 145%, to $43,639,000, in the three-month period ended June 29,
1996 from $17,782,000 during the comparable period in fiscal 1995, principally
due to higher revenues from the Company's LanRover[Registered Trademark]
product family, including the LanRover Access Switch[Trademark]. Sales to
OEM customers accounted for 24% of revenues in the three months ended
June 29, 1996 and were not significant in the comparable period in fiscal 1995.
These increases were partially offset by a 16% decline in revenues from the
Company's other communications products. The Company anticipates that revenues
from other communications products will continue to decline and will account
for a decreasing percentage of revenue in future periods. The Company provides
its distributors and resellers with product return rights for stock balancing
and product evaluation. Revenues were reduced by provisions for product returns
of $2,291,000 and $2,104,000 in the three month periods ended June 29, 1996 and
July 1, 1995, respectively, representing 4% and 7% of gross revenues,
respectively. International revenues increased to $18,390,000, or 36% of
revenues, in the three-month period ended June 29, 1996, from $12,972,000, or
49% of revenues, in the comparable period in fiscal 1995.

         GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues was 58% in each
of the three-month periods ended June 29, 1996 and July 1, 1995. Increases in
gross profit that resulted from increased revenues from the Company's LanRover
product family, which carry higher gross margins than the Company's other
products, were offset by increased revenues from lower margin OEM remote access
products.

         RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development expenses increased
to $5,462,000, or 11% of revenues, in the three-month period ended June 29,
1996, from $3,537,000, or 13% of revenues, during the comparable period in
fiscal 1995. The absolute increase in these expenses was primarily due to the
hiring of additional research and development staff. Research and development
expenses during the three-month period ended June 29, 1996 related primarily to
continued enhancements and development of the Company's remote access products,
including the LanRover Access Switch and the Shiva AccessPort[Trademark], a new
ISDN client router. Customer-funded development fees reimbursed to the Company,
which are reflected as an offset to research and development expenses, were 
$564,000 in the three-month period ended June 29, 1996 compared to $250,000 for
the comparable period in fiscal 1995. Capitalized software development costs 
were $147,000 in the three-month period ended June 29, 1996. No software 
development costs were capitalized in the three-month period ended July 1, 
1995. The Company anticipates continued significant investment in research and 
development.

         SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased to $16,801,000 for the three-month period
ended June 29, 1996 from $10,280,000 for the comparable period in fiscal 1995.
These expenses represented 33% and 39% of revenues in the three-month periods
ended June 29, 1996 and July 1, 1995, respectively. The absolute increase in
expenses was primarily due to worldwide expansion of the Company's sales,
marketing and administrative operations necessary to support the Company's
growth. The Company plans to further invest in its distribution channels in
order to continue its global market penetration.

         MERGER EXPENSES. In connection with the AirSoft Acquisition, the
Company incurred charges to operations of $1,987,000 in the quarter ended June
29, 1996, the quarter in which the acquisition was consummated. Such charges
include: (a) transaction costs to effect the acquisition, consisting of
financial advisor fees of $1,350,000 plus $325,000 for legal, regulatory and
accounting expenses and (b) employee severance payments and other miscellaneous
expenses of $312,000. Approximately $778,000 of such expenses were paid in the
quarter ended June 29, 1996, and the remaining $1,209,000 of these charges are
expected to be cash outflows in the third quarter of fiscal 1996.

         INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE. The Company had higher interest income
during the three-month period ended June 29, 1996, due to higher investment
balances related to funds generated by the Company's secondary public offering
in November 1995. Interest expense decreased due to the Company's repayment of
the outstanding 



                                       8
   9

debt of Spider Systems, Ltd. ("Spider") assumed as part of the Company's
acquisition of Spider on August 22, 1995, (the "Spider Acquisition") with the
exception of the European Coal and Steel Community Fund loans, in the third
quarter of fiscal 1995.

         INCOME TAX PROVISION. The Company's effective tax rate was 25% for the
three-month period ended June 29, 1996, compared to 41% for the comparable 
period in fiscal 1995. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the 
three-month period ended June 29, 1996 was due to a reduction in the net 
deferred tax asset valuation allowance as a result of certain net operating 
losses that could now be realized, partially offset by non-deductible merger 
expenses.

SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED JUNE 29, 1996 COMPARED WITH THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED
JULY 1, 1995.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         REVENUES. Revenues increased by 82%, to $94,794,000, for the six-month
period ended June 29, 1996, from $52,113,000 in the comparable period in fiscal
1995. This increase was principally due to higher revenues from the Company's
remote access products. Remote access product revenues increased by 136%, to
$79,016,000, in the six-month period ended June 29, 1996, from $33,497,000
during the comparable period in fiscal 1995, principally due to higher revenues
from the Company's LanRover product family, including the LanRover AccessSwitch.
Sales to OEM customers accounted for 20% of revenues in the six months ended
June 29, 1996 and were not significant in the comparable period in fiscal 1995.
These increases were partially offset by a 24% decline in revenues from the
Company's other communications products. The Company anticipates that revenues
from other communications products will continue to decline and will account for
a decreasing percentage of revenue in future periods. The Company provides its
distributors and resellers with product return rights for stock balancing and
product evaluation. Revenues were reduced by provisions for product returns of
$3,978,000 and $4,077,000 in the six month periods ended June 29, 1996 and July
1, 1995, respectively, representing 4% and 7% of gross revenues, respectively.
International revenues increased to $37,247,000, or 39% of revenues, in the
six-month period ended June 29, 1996, from $27,259,000, or 52% of revenues, in
the comparable period in fiscal 1995.

         GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased as a percentage of revenues to 59%
in the six-month period ended June 29, 1996, compared to 57% for the comparable
period in fiscal 1995. This increase was primarily attributable to increased
revenues from the Company's LanRover product family, which carry higher gross
margins than the Company's other products, partially offset by increased
revenues from lower gross margin OEM remote access products.

         RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development expenses increased
to $10,656,000, or 11% of revenues, in the six-month period ended June 29, 1996
from $6,356,000, or 12% of revenues, during the comparable period in fiscal
1995. The absolute increase in these expenses was primarily due to the hiring of
additional research and development staff. Research and development expenses
during the six-month period ended June 29, 1996 related primarily to continued
enhancement and development of the Company's remote access products, including
the LanRover Access Switch and the Shiva AccessPort, a new ISDN client router.
Customer-funded development fees reimbursed to the Company, which are reflected
as an offset to research and development expenses, were $851,000 in the
six-month period ended June 29, 1996, compared to $515,000 for the comparable
period in fiscal 1995. Capitalized software development costs were $593,000 in
the six-month period ended June 29, 1996 compared to $264,000 in the comparable
period in fiscal 1995.

         SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased to $31,506,000 for the six-month period ended
June 29, 1996, from $20,032,000 for the comparable period in fiscal 1995. These
expenses represented 33% and 38% of revenues in the six-month periods ended June
29, 1996 and July 1, 1995, respectively. The absolute increase in expenses was
primarily due to worldwide expansion of the Company's sales, marketing and
administrative operations necessary to support the Company's growth. The Company
plans to further invest in its distribution channels in order to continue its
global market penetration.

         MERGER EXPENSES. In connection with the AirSoft Acquisition, the
Company incurred charges to operations of $1,987,000 in the quarter ended June
29, 1996, the quarter in which the acquisition was consummated. Such charges
include: (a) transaction costs to effect the acquisition, consisting of
financial advisor fees of $1,350,000 plus $325,000 for legal, regulatory and
accounting expenses and (b) employee severance payments and other miscellaneous
expenses of $312,000. Approximately $778,000 of such expenses were paid in the
quarter ended June 29, 1996, and the remaining $1,209,000 of these charges are
expected to be cash outflows in the third quarter of fiscal 1996.

         INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE. The Company had higher interest income
during the six-month period ended June 29, 1996, due to higher investment
balances related to funds generated by the Company's secondary public offering
in November 1995. Interest expense decreased due to the Company's repayment of
the outstanding debt of Spider assumed as part of the Spider Acquisition, with
the exception of the European Coal and Steel Community Fund loans, in the third
quarter of fiscal 1995.

         INCOME TAX PROVISION. The Company's effective tax rate was 33% for the
six-month period ended June 29, 1996 compared to 41% for the comparable period
in fiscal 1995. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the six-month period
ended June 29, 1996 was due to a reduction in the net deferred tax asset
valuation allowance as a result of certain net operating losses that could now
be realized, partially offset by non-deductible merger expenses.


FOREIGN CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS

         A substantial portion of the Company's international revenues is
denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar and is consequently subject
to foreign exchange fluctuations. The net income impact of such fluctuations is
offset to the extent that expenses of the Company in international operations
are incurred in the same currencies as its revenues. Foreign currency
fluctuations did not have a significant impact on the comparison of results of
operations in the three-month or six-month periods ended June 29, 1996 with
those of the comparable periods in fiscal 1995.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         As of June 29, 1996, the Company had $95,233,000 of cash and cash
equivalents and $4,992,000 of short-term investments. Working capital increased
to $117,882,000 at June 29,1996 from $109,376,000 at December 30, 1995.

         Net cash provided by operations totaled $5,616,000 for the six-month
period ended June 29, 1996, compared with net cash provided by operations of
$4,418,000 during the comparable period in fiscal 1995. Net cash provided by
operations during the six-month period ended June 29, 1996 consisted primarily
of net income adjusted for non-cash expenses including depreciation and
amortization, and increased current liabilities, partially offset by increased
accounts receivable and inventories. The increase in accounts receivable was due
to increased revenue levels. The increase in inventories is necessary to support
the Company's revenue growth and the introduction of the LanRover Access Switch
product.

         Net cash used by investing activities totaled $4,435,000 for the
six-month period ended June 29, 1996, compared to $12,875,000 during the
comparable period in fiscal 1995. Investment activity in the six months ended
June 29, 1996 consisted primarily of purchases of property and equipment to
support the Company's growth, partially offset by proceeds from short-term
investments upon maturity. Investment activity for the comparable period in
fiscal 1995 consisted primarily of purchases of short-term investments and
property, plant and equipment.

          Net cash provided by financing activities, which consisted of proceeds
from stock option exercises, partially offset by payments on long-term debt and
capital lease obligations, totaled $899,000 for the six-month period ended June
29, 1996. Net cash used by financing activities was $1,084,000 during the
comparable period in fiscal 1995, and consisted primarily of payments on the
Company's outstanding debt and capital lease obligations.

         The Company has a $5,000,000 unsecured revolving credit facility with a
bank which expires in June 1997. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility
bear interest at the bank's prime rate. The terms of the Credit Agreement
require the Company to maintain a minimum level of profitability and specified
financial ratios. The Company had no borrowings outstanding under this line at
June 29, 1996. The Company also has a foreign credit facility of approximately
$1,552,000, of which approximately $587,000 was available at June 29, 1996.
Available borrowings under this facility are decreased by the value of the
outstanding debt payable to the European Coal and Steel Community Fund and
guarantees on certain foreign currency transactions. The terms of the foreign
credit facility require the Company to maintain a minimum level of profitability
and specified financial ratios. There were no borrowings outstanding under this
foreign credit facility at June 29, 1996.


                                       10
   11


         The Company enters into forward exchange contracts to hedge against
certain foreign currency transactions for periods consistent with the terms of
the underlying transactions. The forward exchange contracts have maturities that
do not exceed one year. At June 29, 1996, the total amount of forward exchange
transactions covered by hedging contracts was $17,020,000.

         The Company believes that its existing cash and short-term investment
balances, together with available borrowings available under the Company's bank
credit facilities, are sufficient to meet the Company's cash requirements for
the foreseeable future.


FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

         From time to time, information provided by the Company or statements
made by its employees may contain `forward-looking' information which involve
risks and uncertainties. In particular, statements contained in the Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations which
