EXHIBIT 99.2 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of ITK International, Inc. In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the related consolidated statements of operations, of changes in stockholders' deficit and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ITK International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") at June 30, 1998 and 1997, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. 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 of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above. As described in Note 13, the Company was acquired on July 29, 1998.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS ITK International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") design, manufacture, sell, market and support a broad range of high performance remote network access products. These products enable customers to build: (i) dial-up local area network ("LAN") inter-networks that provide remote offices, telecommuters and mobile computer user access to corporate networks; (ii) remote LAN access networks that provide access to the Internet; and (iii) mission critical wide area network access facilities that provide LAN or host access over the public switched telephone network. The Company markets its products worldwide through distributors, value added resellers and service providers. The Company also sells its modem products to certain original equipment manufacturers. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF PRESENTATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. On August 7, 1997, Telebit Incorporated ("TI") consummated a merger (the "Merger") with ITK Telekommunikation AG ("ITK AG"), a German corporation. The Company's common stock was recapitalized and ITK AG's stockholders received an aggregate of 19,179,680 previously unissued shares of common stock of the Company, representing 66.5% of the common stock outstanding upon consummation of the Merger. Due to the majority ownership received by ITK AG's stockholders, the Merger was accounted for as a "reverse acquisition" such that TI was designated as the acquired entity and ITK AG the acquirer. Accordingly, the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 1997 and the related consolidated statements of operations, of cash flows and of changes in stockholders' equity (deficit) for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 1997 represent the historical results of ITK AG and its subsidiaries. The results of operations of TI are included in the consolidated financial statements from August 7, 1997. In addition, the Company changed its name concurrent with the Merger from "Telebit Incorporated" to "ITK International, Inc." See Note 3. All shares of common stock, options and per share amounts included in the accompanying financial statements have been adjusted to give retroactive effect to the recapitalization for all years presented. 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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 6 ITK INTERNATIONAL, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue relating to products sold is recognized upon transfer of legal title, which is generally upon shipment. The Company derives a significant percentage of its revenue from sales to distributors. Under the Company's standard distribution agreements, distributors are granted certain "stock balancing" and "price protection" rights. The Company provides reserves for such returns or price adjustments at the time the related revenue is recorded, based on historic rates of returns or price adjustments. The Company's stock balancing and price protection obligations have historically been within management's expectations. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its cash with financial institutions which management believes are of high credit quality. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The carrying amount of the Company's financial instruments, which include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable and long-term debt, approximates their fair value at the balance sheet dates. INVENTORIES Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis, or market. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is based on the following estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method: Buildings 25 years Office equipment 4-10 years Expenditures for additions, renewals and betterments of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. As assets are retired or sold, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations. INTANGIBLE ASSETS Intangible assets, comprised primarily of acquired technology (Note 3), are recorded at their fair value determined at time of acquisition. Amortization is based on the estimated useful lives of the assets of 4 years, using the straight-line method. The Company periodically analyzes intangible assets for potential impairment, assessing the appropriateness of lives and recoverability of unamortized balances through measurement of undiscounted operating cash flows on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. 7 ITK INTERNATIONAL,INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INCOME TAXES The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using currently enacted tax rates for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE For each of the years presented, basic and diluted earnings per share are the same due to the antidilutive effect of potential common shares outstanding. Antidilutive potential common shares excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share for the fiscal year 1998 include 4,617,848 common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options. FOREIGN CURRENCY The accounts of foreign subsidiaries are translated using exchange rates in effect at period-end for assets and liabilities and at average exchange rates during the period for results of operations. The local currency for all foreign subsidiaries is the functional currency. The related transaction adjustments are reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity (deficit). Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in other income (expense) and were immaterial for all periods presented. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income". The statement establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. It includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. This standard will require that an enterprise display an amount representing total comprehensive income for the period. SFAS No. 130 will be effective for the Company's fiscal year ending June 30, 1999. Adoption of SFAS No. 130 is not expected to impact the Company's financial position or results of operations. In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" which supersedes SFAS No. 14. This statement changes the way that public business enterprises report segment information, including financial and descriptive information about their operating segments, in annual financial statements and would require that those enterprises report selected segment information in interim financial reports to stockholders. Operating segments are defined as revenue-producing components of the enterprise which are generally used internally for evaluating segment performance. SFAS No. 131 will be effective for the Company beginning with the Company's fiscal year ending June 30, 1999. Adoption of SFAS No. 131 will not impact the Company's financial position or results of operations. 8 ITK INTERNATIONAL,INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The statement requires that all derivative instruments be recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction. The ineffective portion of all hedges will be recognized in current-period earnings. SFAS No. 133 will be effective for the Company beginning with the Company's fiscal year ending June 30, 2000. As the Company has no derivative instruments and is not involved in hedging activity, the Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 133 to have an impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. 3. MERGER OF TELEBIT INCORPORATED AND ITK AG As described in Note 1, on August 7, 1997, Telebit Incorporated ("TI") consummated a merger (the "Merger") with ITK Telekommunikation AG ("ITK AG"), a German corporation. The Merger was accounted for using the purchase method. The purchase price for financial accounting purposes was determined to be $11,724,000, based upon an independent appraisal of the 7,609,860 shares of common stock and the 2,051,000 options to purchase common stock of the Company received upon the Merger by former stockholders and option holders of TI. The following summarizes the allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of August 7, 1997 (in thousands): Assets acquired: Cash $ 3,111 Accounts receivable 3,183 Inventories 4,126 Prepaid expenses and other current assets 172 Property, plant and equipment 1,054 Other assets 259 Identifiable intangible assets 4,650 Cost in excess of net assets acquired 262 Liabilities assumed: Accounts payable (1,922) Accrued expenses (3,171) -------- Total purchase price $11,724 -------- -------- The identifiable intangible assets consist primarily of acquired technology valued at $3,900,000, as well as established customer base, workforce and trademark. The identifiable intangible assets were fair valued by an independent appraisal based on discounted cash flow analyses. 9 ITK INTERNATIONAL,INC.

Under this loan facility, Digi International Inc. has advanced $5,000,000 to the Company as a demand note payable. The outstanding balance of this demand note payable bears interest at 8 percent. The Company has pledged as collateral for this demand note payable 98,400 common shares of ITK AG. At June 30, 1998, short-term liabilities exist with banks in the amount of $9,168,000. These amounts are due daily. Interest is calculated quarterly and is also due daily. The weighted average interest rate on demand notes payable was 4.6% and 4.9% at June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. 11 ITK INTERNATIONAL,INC.

STOCK PLANS The Company maintains two stock plans. The 1996 Stock Option Plan (the "1996 Plan") provided for the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the grant of incentive and non-qualified stock options. The Company does not intend to issue any additional options under the 1996 Plan, but options that are forfeited will become available for grant under the 1997 Stock Option Plan (the "1997 Plan"). 12 ITK INTERNATIONAL,INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Under the terms of the 1997 Plan, employees, directors and certain other individuals may be awarded incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options or restricted stock. The 1997 Plan provides for the issuance of a maximum of 3,000,000 shares of common stock, plus such additional number of shares that become available due to the forfeiture of options granted under the 1996 Plan. Non-qualified options may be granted to any employee, officer, director or consultant at an exercise price per share to be determined by the Board of Directors on the date of grant. Options granted under the 1997 Plan are exercisable over periods determined by the Board of Directors, not to exceed ten years from the date of grant. In fiscal year 1997, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." SFAS No. 123 requires that companies either recognize compensation expense for grants of stock, stock options and other equity instruments based on fair value or provide pro forma disclosure of net income and earnings per share in the notes to the financial statements as if such method had been applied. The Company adopted the pro forma disclosure provisions of SFAS No 123 in fiscal 1997 and has applied APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for all of its stock option grants. Stock option activity is summarized as follows: WEIGHTED AVERAGE NUMBER EXERCISE OF SHARES PRICE --------- --------- Outstanding at June 30, 1997 -- $ -- Options of acquired company 2,707,167 0.10 Granted 4,595,000 0.10 Forfeited (2,085,494) 0.10 Exercised (598,825) 0.10 ----------- ------- Outstanding at June 30, 1998 4,617,848 0.10 ----------- ------- Options available for future grant 2,755,344 Information related to the stock options outstanding at June 30, 1998 is as follows: WEIGHTED EXERCISABLE NUMBER AVERAGE NUMBER RANGE OF OF REMAINING OF EXERCISE PRICE OPTIONS CONTRACTUAL LIFE OPTIONS -------------- ------- ---------------- -------- $ .10 4,617,848 9.36 years 2,213,468 Had compensation cost for the Company's stock option grants been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates, as calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 123, the Company's net loss and net loss per common share (both basic and diluted) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998 would not have been materially different from the amount reported. Because options vest over several years and additional option grants are expected to be made in subsequent years, the pro forma impact above is not representative of the pro forma effects for future years. The fair value of each option granted during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998 was estimated 13 ITK INTERNATIONAL, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- on the date of grant using the minimum value method utilizing the following weighted-average assumptions: (1) expected risk-free interest rate of 5.4% to 5.7%; (2) expected option life of 7 years; (3) expected stock volatility of 0%; and (4) expected dividend yield of 0%. The weighted average fair value per option for options granted in fiscal year 1998 was $1.11. In accordance with APB No. 25, deferred compensation recorded under the 1997 Plan during the year ended June 30, 1998 was $5,100,000 which is being amortized to expense over the vesting periods of the related options. The related compensation expense recorded for the year ended June 30, 1998 was $1,793,000. As discussed in Note 13, on July 29, 1998, Digi International Inc. acquired the Company. In connection with the acquisition, each option holder of the Company received an option to purchase common stock of Digi International Inc. 10. INCOME TAXES The income tax provision consisted entirely of current foreign tax expense of $17,000, $169,000 and $963,000 in fiscal years 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

A subsequent change in the Company's ownership as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code may significantly limit the future utilization of the federal NOL carryforwards incurred prior to an ownership change. In fiscal year 1997 and in July 1998, substantial changes in the ownership of the Company occurred. At June 30, 1998, the Company's foreign subsidiaries had NOL carryforwards of approximately $24,586,000. 15 ITK INTERNATIONAL, INC.
