NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Fiscal Year The Company's fiscal year is the 52 or 53 weeks ending on the last Sunday in July. Fiscal years 1996 and 1995 are both 52 week years. Basis of Presentation The consolidated balance sheet as of January 28, 1996, and the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the periods ended January 28, 1996 and January 29, 1995, have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 30, 1995. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the three and six month periods ended January 28, 1996 and January 29, 1995, have been made. The results of operations for the period ended January 28, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. The July 30, 1995 balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. Computation of Net Income Per Share Net income per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive common equivalent shares consist of stock options. Recent Accounting Pronouncements During October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 123 (SFAS No. 123), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." This standard, which establishes a fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans, also permits an election to continue following the requirements of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" with disclosures of pro forma net income and earnings per share under the new method. The Company is reviewing the implications of SFAS No. 123 and evaluating the effect, if any, on the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. SFAS No. 123 will be effective for the Company's fiscal year 1997. 6 7 2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS In September 1995, the Company acquired Combinet Inc. ("Combinet"), a privately held manufacturer of remote access networking products. The Company issued approximately 3,500,000 shares of common stock for all the outstanding stock of Combinet in a transaction accounted for as a pooling of interests. In addition, the Company assumed options and warrants to purchase Combinet stock that remain outstanding as options to purchase approximately 407,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The historical operations of Combinet are not material to the Company's consolidated operations and financial position individually and when aggregated with previous acquisitions, therefore the Company's financial statements have not been restated. Additionally, in September 1995, the Company acquired Internet Junction, Inc., a developer of Internet gateway software that connects desktop users with the Internet. The Company issued 162,000 shares of stock for the net assets of Internet Junction in a transaction accounted for as a purchase. Accordingly, the results of operations of the acquired business and the fair market values of the acquired assets and liabilities were included in the Company's financial statements as of the acquisition date. Amounts allocated to goodwill will be amortized on a straight-line basis over a four year period. A pro forma summary is not presented as the historical operations of Internet Junction are not material to the Company's consolidated operations and financial position. In November 1995, the Company acquired Grand Junction Networks, Inc. ("Grand Junction") a privately held manufacturer of Fast Ethernet (100BaseT) and Ethernet desktop switching products. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company issued approximately 9,180,000 shares of common stock for all the outstanding stock of Grand Junction in a transaction accounted for as a pooling of interests. The Company also assumed options to purchase Grand Junction stock that remain outstanding as options to purchase approximately 737,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The historical operations of Grand Junction are not material to the Company's consolidated operations and financial position. In December 1995, the Company acquired Network Translation, Inc. ("NTI") in a transaction accounted for as a pooling of interests. NTI develops and sells address translation and firewall products for use in accessing the Internet. Financial terms of the transaction are not material to the Company's consolidated operations and financial position. The historical operations of NTI are not material to the Company's consolidated operations and financial position individually and when aggregated with previous acquisitions, therefore the Company's financial statements have not been restated. On January 23, 1996, the Company announced the signing of an agreement to acquire TGV Software Inc ("TGV"). Under the terms of the agreement, two (2) shares of the Company's common stock will be exchanged for every five (5) outstanding shares of TGV common stock in a transaction to be accounted for as a pooling of interests. The agreement is subject to receipt of certain government approvals and approval by TGV shareholders and is expected to be consummated in March 1996. 7 8 3. SHAREHOLDER'S EQUITY A two-for-one stock split of the Company's common stock was approved by the Board of Directors on January 23, 1996 payable to shareholders of record on February 2, 1996 and was effective February 16, 1996. Share and per-share data for all periods presented have been adjusted to give effect to the two-for-one stock split. 4.

INCOME TAXES The Company paid income taxes of $135.3 million for the six months ended January 28, 1996 and $ 122.9 million for the six months ended January 29, 1995. The Company's income taxes currently payable for both federal and state purposes have been reduced by the tax benefit from stock option transactions. This benefit totaled $76.9 million in the first six months of 1996, and was credited directly to shareholders' equity. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net sales grew from $454.9 million in the second quarter of 1995 to $826.5 million in the second quarter of 1996. Net sales for the first half of 1995 were $847.8 million, compared to $1,536.7 million in the first half of 1996. The 81.7% increase in net sales between the two three month periods and the 81.2% increase in net sales between the two six month periods was primarily the result of increasing unit sales of the Cisco 2500 product family, the Cisco 4500, and also reflects the market acceptance of new LAN switching products such as the Catalyst 5000 and also high end routers, primarily the Cisco 7500 product family. These increases were partially offset by decreasing unit sales of the Company's older product lines, consisting of the AGS+ and Cisco 4000, as well as lower average selling prices for the Cisco 7000. Sales to international customers increased from 42.8% of net sales in the second quarter of 1995, to 51.6% for the second quarter of 1996. International sales in the first six months of 1996 were 49.9% of net sales compared with 41.0% of net sales for the same period in 1995. These increases reflect the Company's continued expansion into new geographic markets and growth in existing European and Asian markets. Sales growth between the first and second quarters of fiscal 1996 in Asia exceeded the growth in other international areas. Gross margins decreased from 67.4% in both the second quarter and the first six months of 1995 to 66.4% and 66.7% for the second quarter and the first six months of 1996, respectively. Gross margins were 8 9 affected by several factors, including higher material costs as a result of certain component shortages and the continued shift in revenue mix to the Company's lower margin products consisting primarily of products in the Company's Access and Workgroup business units. The Company expects this trend of decreasing gross margins to continue in the future, although quarterly fluctuations may occur due to certain factors such as component availability, mix of products sold, manufacturing efficiencies, software content, and warranty costs. Research and development expenses increased $35.1 million from the second quarter of 1995 to the second quarter of 1996, and increased $68.0 million between the first six months of 1995 and the first six months of 1996. This represents an increase from 8.4% to 8.9% of net sales in the quarter to quarter period and from 8.0% to 8.9% of net sales for the first six months of each fiscal year. The increase reflects the Company's continued commitment to develop new technologies internally, including the further development of its CiscoFusion architecture; as well as the acquisition of technologies to bring a broad range of innovative products to market in a timely fashion. A significant portion of the increase was due to the addition of new personnel, primarily from hiring and to a lesser extent through acquisitions, as well as higher material costs for prototypes and depreciation on new equipment. All of the Company's research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Sales and marketing expenses increased $68.4 million between the second quarters of 1995 and 1996, and $129.1 million from the first six months of 1995 to the same period of 1996. This represents increases from 17.2% to 17.8% of net sales in the quarter to quarter period and from 17.3% to 18.0% of net sales for the first six months of each fiscal year. The increases in these expenses resulted from an increase in the size of the Company's direct sales force and related commissions, additional marketing programs to support the launch of new products, the entry into new markets, both domestic and international, and expanding distribution channels. General and administrative expenses rose $12.8 million between the second quarters of 1995 and 1996, but remained at 3.5% of net sales for each period. These expenses increased $23.6 million from the first half of 1995 to the first half of 1996, representing a slight decrease from 3.7% to 3.6% of net sales for the comparable six month periods. The dollar increase in these expenses was due primarily to increased personnel costs, costs associated with the structuring and integration of the Company's various acquisitions (see note 2), as well as to the amortization of goodwill associated with the acquisition of LightStream Corporation in fiscal year 1995. During October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 123 (SFAS No. 123), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." This standard, which establishes a fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans, also permits an election to continue following the requirements of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" with disclosures of pro forma net income and earnings per share under the new method. The Company is reviewing the implications of SFAS No. 123 and evaluating the effect, if any, on the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. SFAS No. 123 will be effective for the Company's fiscal year 1997. 9 10 Future Growth Subject to Risks The Company's operating performance each quarter is subject to various risks and uncertainties as discussed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for 1995. This Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with such Annual Report, particularly "Other Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contained therein. The Company's growth is dependent upon market growth and its ability to enhance its existing products and introduce new products on a timely basis. The Company must also maintain its ability to manage any such growth effectively. Failure to manage growth effectively could materially and adversely affect the Company's business and operating results. The Company's growth and ability to meet customer demand also depend, in part, on its ability to obtain timely supplies of parts from its vendors. While lead times for commodity components have improved recently, some components, particularly proprietary ASIC's and other networking specific components, continue to be in short supply. An inability to obtain these items at reasonable prices could have a material and adverse effect on the Company's growth. Each year with the exception of fiscal year 1995 and fiscal year 1996 to date, the Company generally has had one quarter of a fiscal year when backlog has been reduced. Traditionally, it has been the third quarter. While such a reduction did not occur in the past 18 months, such reductions are extremely difficult to predict and may occur in the future. In addition, in response to customer demand, the Company has, from time to time, reduced its product manufacturing lead times and its backlog of orders. To the extent that backlog is reduced during any particular period, it would result in more variability and less predictability in the Company's quarter-to-quarter net sales and operating results. Recently, however, the Company's backlog has been increasing. Resulting lead times for certain parts of its business have seen a corresponding increase. In particular, in the quarter ended January 28, 1996, backlog of orders increased. If manufacturing lead times are not reduced, the Company's customers may cancel, or not place, orders if shorter lead times are available from other manufacturers. The Company expects that gross margins may be adversely affected by increases in material or labor costs, heightened price competition, changes in channels of distribution or in the mix of products sold. In particular, the Company broadened its product line by introducing its first network access product in August 1992. Since that time, sales of these products, which are generally lower-priced and carry lower gross margins than the Company's core products, have increased more rapidly than the sales of the core products. The introduction of the CiscoPro product line during the first quarter of fiscal year 1996, as well as the increasing growth rates experienced in the switching markets, may accelerate this trend. The Company also expects that its operating margins may decrease as it continues to hire additional personnel and increases other operating expenses to support its business. The results of operations for the first six months of 1996 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected in future periods, and the Company's operating results may be subject to quarterly fluctuations as a result of a number of factors. These factors include the integration of people, operations, and products from acquired businesses and technologies; increased competition, which the Company expects; the introduction and market acceptance of new products, including high-speed switching and ATM 10 11 technologies; variations in sales channels, product costs, or mix of products sold; the timing of orders and manufacturing lead times; and changes in general economic conditions, any of which could have an adverse impact on operations and financial results. Volatility of Stock Price The Company's Common Stock has experienced substantial price volatility, particularly as a result of variations between the Company's actual or anticipated financial results and the published expectations of analysts and as a result of announcements by the Company and its competitors. In addition, the stock market has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market price of many technology companies in particular and that have often been unrelated to the operating performance of these companies. These broad market fluctuations, as well as general economic and political conditions, may adversely affect the market price of the Company's Common Stock. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash, short-term investments, and investments increased by $238.1 million from July 30, 1995 to January 28, 1996, primarily as a result of cash generated by operations and to a lesser extent through the exercise of employee stock options. This increase was partially offset by capital expenditures of approximately $82.0 million and by the repurchase of $112.7 million of common stock during this time. Accounts receivable increased 27.8% from July 30, 1995 to January 28, 1996, primarily as a result of higher sales levels. Days sales outstanding in receivables improved from 56 days at July 30, 1995 to 54 days at January 28, 1996. Inventories increased 211.4% between July 30, 1995 and January 28, 1996 which was a planned investment necessary to support the higher sales volumes and desired manufacturing lead times. Additionally, strategic purchases of certain components in short supply contributed to the increase. As a result, inventory turnover on an annualized basis decreased from 11.7 turns at July 30, 1995 to 7.0 turns at January 28, 1996. Accounts payable increased 160.0% from July 30, 1995 to January 28, 1996 because of increases in capital expenditures, operating expenses, and material purchases to support the growth in net sales. The 33.8% increase in accrued payroll and related expenses can be attributed to an increase in personnel during the six month period. Other accrued liabilities increased by 36.1%, primarily due to increases in deferred service contracts. At January 28, 1996, the Company had a line of credit totaling $100.0 million, which expires April 1998. There have been no borrowings under this agreement. The Company has entered into certain lease arrangements in San Jose, California, and Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, where it has established its headquarters operations and certain research and development and customer support activities, respectively. In connection with these transactions, the Company pledged $189.5 million of its investments as collateral for certain obligations of the leases. The restricted investments balance will continue to increase as the Company phases in operations at these lease sites. 11 12 Under the Company's ongoing stock repurchase program, shares are purchased periodically to meet employee stock plan requirements. During the six months ended January 28, 1996, the Company purchased and retired approximately 3.0 million shares for an aggregate price of $112.7 million. As of January 28, 1996, the Company was authorized to repurchase up to an additional 6.8 million shares of its common stock in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. The Company's ability to repurchase shares has been restricted, and is expected to continue to be restricted from time to time by virtue of business combinations and limitations imposed under pooling-of-interests accounting. The Company's management believes that its current cash and equivalents, short-term investments, line of credit, and cash generated from operations will satisfy its expected working capital and capital expenditure requirements through 1996. 12 13 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES A two-for-one stock split of the Company's common stock was approved by the Board of Directors on January 23, 1996 payable to shareholders of record on February 2, 1996 and declared effective February 16, 1996. Share and per-share data for all periods presented have been adjusted to give effect to the two-for-one stock split. ITEM 4.
