ITEM 2:  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

Extended Systems Incorporated and certain subsidiaries ("ESI") entered into an
Asset Purchase Agreement, dated May 30, 2001, pursuant to which ESI agreed to
sell various assets, including all assets primarily used in ESI's printing
solutions business, to Troy Group, Inc ("Troy").

Pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, on May 31, 2001, ESI
transferred to Troy certain inventory, equipment, patents, trademarks and other
intellectual property rights, customer and supplier lists and rights under
certain contracts that existed as of the close of business on May 30, 2001. Troy
also assumed from ESI certain contractual and warranty obligations and purchase
commitments. ESI's printing solutions business includes its network print server
and non-network printer sharing products.

We determined the aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.8 million in
cash, on the basis of arm's length negotiations with Troy.

You should refer to the full text of the Asset Purchase Agreement, which is
filed as an exhibit to this report, for a complete description of the
agreement's terms.

               NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information is qualified in its
entirety by reference to, and should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements in our reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, and have been adjusted to
exclude the effect of the discontinuance of the printing solutions business on
each respective financial statement.

The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information is presented for
illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating
results or financial position that would have actually occurred if the
disposition had been consummated as of the date indicated, nor is it necessarily
indicative of future operating results or financial position.

The pro forma calculation of the gain on the disposition of our printing
solutions business to Troy is summarized below and is reflected in the
adjustments to the unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet as of March 31,
2001 as if the disposition occurred as of that date. (Amounts in thousands.)

           Net assets sold and liabilities transferred:

                                                            =======

The gain on the sale of our printing solutions business is reflected as an
increase in retained earnings in the unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet
as of March 31, 2001.

Other adjustments to the pro forma condensed balance sheet as of March 31, 2001
were made to exclude other assets and liabilities that were directly
attributable to our printing solutions business.

Adjustments made in the pro forma condensed statements of operations include
historical results for our printing solutions business that agree to the segment
information presented in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2001, and
our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, adjusted to exclude
certain expenses that were previously allocated but are not directly
attributable to our printing solutions business.
