SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20549 FORM 8-K/A AMENDMENT NO. 3 CURRENT REPORT PURSUANT TO SECTION 13 OR 15(d) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 Date of Report (DATE OF EARLIEST EVENT REPORTED) May 10, 1999 EXCEL SWITCHING CORPORATION (EXACT NAME OF REGISTRANT AS SPECIFIED IN ITS CHARTER) MASSACHUSETTS ---------------------------------------------- (STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION OF INCORPORATION) 0-23263 04-2992806 - ------------------------- --------------------------------- (COMMISSION FILE NUMBER) (IRS EMPLOYER IDENTIFICATION NO.) 255 INDEPENDENCE DRIVE HYANNIS, MASSACHUSETTS 02601 ----------------------------------------------------- (ADDRESS OF PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES) Registrant's telephone number, including area code: (508) 862-3000 -------------- This Amendment No. 3 is being filed to amend the Report on Form 8-K dated May 10, 1999 and filed with the Commission on May 25, 1999, as amended by Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A, dated May 10, 1999 and filed with the Commission on July 23, 1999 and as further amended by Amendment No. 2 on Form 8-K/A, dated May 10, 1999 and filed with the Commission on July 29, 1999 (as amended, the "Report"). This Amendment No. 3 is being filed to add Exhibit 99.6 (Consolidated Financial Statements of Excel Switching Corporation as of December 27, 1997 and December 31, 1998 and the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of Excel Switching Corporation as of March 31, 1999) to the Report. No other changes to the Report are being made. Generally accepted accounting principles do not allow for the restatement of historical financial statements for a pooling of interests transaction until results that include post-merger activity have been issued. The Company has previously filed as Exhibit 99.4 (Supplemental Consolidated Financial Statements of Excel Switching Corporation as of December 27, 1997 and December 31, 1998 and the unaudited Supplemental Consolidated Financial Statements of Excel Switching Corporation as of March 31, 1999) which present supplemental financial statements reflecting the transaction as if Excel and RAScom had operated as one entity since inception. On August 16, 1999, the Company filed with the Commission a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. This report presented results that included post-merger activity. Accordingly, the supplemental financial statements described above can now be reflected as the Company's historical financial statements. Exhibit 99.6 updates the financial statements originally presented in Exhibit 99.4 by removing the supplemental designation of the financial results and by modifying the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for subsequent events that have occurred since the date of auditors' report.
