                              VISUAL NETWORKS, INC.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 MARCH 31, 1998

(1)        NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Visual Networks, Inc. ("Visual" or the "Company") is engaged in developing, 
manufacturing and marketing wide-area-network service level management systems.
The Company's operations are subject to certain risks and uncertainties
including, among others, successful implementation of the Company's sales and
distribution model, dependence on a very limited number of significant
customers, rapidly changing technologies, current and potential competitors
with greater financial, technological, production, and marketing resources,
dependence on key management personnel, limited protection of intellectual
property and proprietary rights, integration of its recent acquisition of
Net2Net corporation, uncertainty of future profitability and possible
fluctuations in financial results.

NET2NET ACQUISITION
 
     On May 15, 1998, Visual acquired Net2Net Corporation ("Net2Net") in a
merger transaction accounted for as a pooling of interests. Net2Net is engaged
in developing, manufacturing and marketing Asynchronous Transfer Mode ("ATM")
wide-area-network management and analysis systems. Visual issued 2,056,204
shares of its common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding preferred and
common stock of Net2Net. In addition, outstanding Net2Net stock options were
converted into options to purchase 189,733 shares of Visual common stock. The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been retroactively restated
to reflect the combined financial position and combined results of operations
and cash flows for all periods presented, giving effect to the acquisition as if
it had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented (hereafter,
Visual and Net2Net are collectively referred to as the "Company").
 
FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

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, the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

These financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared by the Company
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements, and it is suggested that these
financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements, and
the notes thereto, included in the Company's Registration Statement filed on
Form S-1 dated July 2, 1998. In the opinion of management, the comparative 
financial statements for the fiscal periods presented herein include all
adjustments that are normal and recurring which are necessary for a fair
statement of the results for the interim periods. The results of operations for
the three months ended March 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the
results for the entire year ending December 31, 1998.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company generally recognizes revenue from sales of its products upon
delivery and passage of title to the customer. Where agreements provide for
evaluation or customer acceptance, the Company recognizes revenue upon
completion of the evaluation process and acceptance of the product by the
customer. Maintenance contracts call for the Company to provide technical
support and software



<PAGE>   6


updates to customers. The Company recognizes product support and maintenance
revenue, including maintenance revenue that is bundled with product sales,
ratably over the term of the contract period, which ranges from one to three
years.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of
three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. As of
March 31, 1998 cash equivalents are currently invested in short-term U.S.
Treasury obligations and repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Treasury
securities.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying values of current assets and current liabilities approximate fair
value because of the relatively short maturities of these instruments.

INVENTORY

Inventory is stated at the lower of average cost or market. Inventory consists
of the following (in thousands):

</TABLE>

INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statements of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes". Under SFAS
No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based on the
difference between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and
liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate. SFAS No. 109 requires that the
net deferred tax asset be reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the
weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or
all of the net deferred tax asset will not be realized.

NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

     In March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share". SFAS No. 128 requires dual presentation of
basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic loss per share includes no dilution
and is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.
 
     Diluted loss per share includes the potential dilution that could occur if
securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted
into common stock. Options to purchase 1,463,772 and 2,040,107 shares of common
stock that were outstanding at at March 31, 1997 and 1998 were not included in
the computation of diluted loss per share as their effect would be
anti-dilutive. The effect of preferred stock convertible into 10,605,735 shares
of common stock as of March 31, 1997 was not included in the computation of
diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 1997, as such effect
would have been anti-dilutive. The effect of preferred stock convertible into
10,605,735 shares of common stock outstanding from January 1, 1998 to February
11, 1998 was not included in the computation of diluted loss per share for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 as such effect would have been anti-dilutive.
The effect of the conversion of the preferred stock into 10,605,735 shares of
common stock is included in the computation of both basic and diluted loss per
share from the date of conversion on February 11, 1998. As a result, the basic
and diluted loss per share amounts are identical for all periods presented. Pro
forma basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding assumes the
conversion of all of the Company's outstanding convertible preferred stock into
common stock for each period presented.

(2)        NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income" and No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information." These statements become effective for the
Company's 1998 financial statements. The adoption of these new pronouncements
