                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To:  The shareholders of A.R. Data Security, Ltd.

         We have audited the  consolidated  balance sheets of A.R. Data Security
Ltd.  and its  subsidiaries  as of December  31, 1996 and 1995,  and the related
consolidated  statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity (deficiency)
and cash flows for each of the three  years in the period  ending  December  31,
1996.  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 in accordance with generally  accepted auditing
standards in the United  states and Israel,  including  those  prescribed by the
Israel Auditors Regulations (Mode of Performance), 1973. Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable  assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material  misstatement,  either originating
within the financial statements  themselves,  or due to any misleading statement
included  therein.  An  audit  includes  examining,  on a test  basis,  evidence
supporting  the amounts and  disclosures in the financial  statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by  management  as well  as  evaluating  the  overall  financial  statement
presentation.  We  believe  that our audits  and the  reports of other  auditors
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

         In our  opinion,  based on our  audits  and the  reports  of the  other
auditors,  the  consolidated  financial  statements  referred  to above  present
fairly, in all material  respects,  the consolidated  financial  position of the
Company as of  December  31, 1996 and 1995 and the  consolidated  results of its
operations  and its cash flows for each of the three  years in the period  ended
December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted  accounting  principles
in Israel.  As permitted by  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  rules,  these
financial  statements have been prepared in accordance with the  requirements of
Item 17 of Form 20-F. For a description  of the  differences  between  generally
accepted  accounting  principles in Israel and United States generally  accepted
accounting principles as applicable in these financial statements see Note 15.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                (In U.S. dollars)

Note 1  -  General

           A.R.  Data  Security Ltd. and its  subsidiaries  ("the  Company") are
           engaged in providing  cryptographic solutions to security problems of
           large  organizations.  The Company  provides  high-level,  integrated
           solutions  that  enable  organizations  to  take  full  advantage  of
           advanced computing  environments without incurring the security risks
           attached to such systems.

           The Company's  primary  markets have been in Europe and the Far East.
           The North  American  market is one of the targets of a new  marketing
           strategy and preparations are underway to penetrate this market.

           Organization

           In 1985,  Algorithmic  Research  Ltd.  ("A.R.  Ltd.")  was  formed to
           provide  cryptographic   solutions  to  security  problems  of  large
           organizations.

           In  1994,  certain  shareholders  of  A.R.  Ltd.  established  Algart
           Holdings Ltd.  ("Algart") and  concurrently,  Algart  acquired 34% of
           A.R.  Ltd. In 1995,  Algart  increased  its holdings in A.R.  Ltd. by
           acquiring additional shares in A.R. Ltd. from certain shareholders.

           In 1996,  A.R.  Data  Security  Ltd.  was  formed  as a result of the
           transfer of all shares of A.R. Ltd. and Algart into,  and in exchange
           of, all the outstanding shares of the newly formed  corporation.  The
           activities of all the companies  have been combined and accounted for
           in a manner similar to a pooling of interests.

           In 1992,  A.R.  Ltd.  established  and  acquired a 49%  interest in a
           foreign  subsidiary  "A.R.  GmbH"  and in December  1995 acquired the
           remaining 51%.

           In 1996,  the  Company  established  a  wholly  owned  subsidiary  in
           Singapore, "A.R. PTE Ltd." to further penetrate the Far East market.

Note 2  -  Significant Accounting Policies

           a. General

           The financial  statements presented herein are prepared in accordance
           with generally  accepted  accounting  principles in Israel  ("Israeli
           GAAP").

           The  preparation  of the  financial  statements  in  conformity  with
           generally accepted accounting  principles requires management to make
           estimates  and  assumptions  that affect the amounts  reported in the
           financial  statements and  accompanying  notes.  Actual results could
           differ from those estimates.

           b. Financial statements in U.S. dollars

           The majority of the Company's sales are made in United States dollars
           or are  dollar  linked by  virtue  of the fact that a portion  of its
           sales are based on contracts  that are stated in both dollars and New
           Israeli  Shekels ("NIS") and are paid in NIS linked to changes in the
           exchange rate between the dollar and the NIS. In addition,  a portion
           fo the Company's  costs are incurred in dollars.  Since the dollar is
           the primary currency in the economic environment in which the Company
           operates,  the dollar is its functional  currency,  and  accordingly,
           monetary accounts  maintained in currencies other than the dollar are
           remeasured using the foreign exchange rate at the balance sheet date.
           Operational  accounts  and  nonmonetary  balance  sheet  accounts are
           measured  and  recorded  at  rates  in  effect  at  the  date  of the
           transaction.  The  effects  of  foreign  currency  remeasurement  are
           reported in current operations.

           The  functional   currency  of  the  foreign   subsidiaries  are  the
           respective  local  currencies,  and not  the  U.S.  dollar.  However,
           remeasurement  effects  are not  material  and have been  reported in
           current operations.

           c. Consolidated financial statements

           The   consolidated   financial   statements   include  the  financial
           statements  of the Company and its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries,  A.R.
           GmbH  and  A.R.  PTE  Ltd.  Intercompany  transactions  and  balances
           therefrom have been eliminated in consolidation.

           d. Marketable securities

           The  Company   classifies  its  marketable   securities  as  "trading
           securities" in accordance with Statement No. 115 of the FASB.

           Realized and  unrealized  holding gains and losses related to trading
           securities are included in financial income and expenses.

           e. Property and equipment

           Property  and   equipment   are  stated  at  cost  less   accumulated
           depreciation.  Depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method
           over the  estimated  useful  lives of the assets as  estimated by the
           Company.

           Annual depreciation rates are as follows:


                                                             %
                                                          -------
           Building                                          4
           Computers and related equipment                 20-33
           Motor vehicles                                    15
           Office furniture and equipment                   6-10

           f. Revenue recognition

           Revenue from software license  agreements is recognized upon delivery
           of  the  software  and  execution  of  a  signed  contract  where  no
           significant  vendor  obligations  remain  and the  collection  of the
           related receivable is probable.

           The Company recognizes  revenues from fixed price contracts using the
           percentage of completion  method of accounting  based on the contract
           value of the total work performed to the balance sheet date, based on
           the ratio of actual costs to total costs.

           Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted  contracts are made in
           the period in which such losses are determined.

           Maintenance  revenue  is  recognized  ratable  over  the  term of the
           agreement.

           g. Royalty-bearing grants

           Royalty-bearing  grants from the  Government of Israel for funding of
           marketing activity and for research and development are recognized at
           the time the  Company is  entitled to such grants on the basis of the
           related costs incurred.

           h. Research and development costs

           Research  and  development  costs are  charged  to the  statement  of
           operations  as incurred.  SFAS No. 86,  "Accounting  for the Costs of
           Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed", requires
           capitalization  of certain software  development  costs subsequent to
           the  establishment  of  technological   feasibility.   Based  on  the
           Company's product development process,  technological  feasibility is
           established upon completion of a working model. Costs incurred by the
           Company  between  completion  of the  working  model and the point at
           which  the   product  is  ready  for   general   release   have  been
           insignificant. Therefore, such costs have been expensed.

           i. Deferred income taxes

           Deferred   income   taxes  are   provided  in  respect  of  temporary
           differences  in the  recognition  of certain income and expense items
           for financial  reporting and tax purposes.  The Company  utilizes the
           asset and  liability  method of  accounting  for income  taxes as set
           forth in SFAS No. 109.

           j. Cash equivalents

           For the purpose of the  statement of cash flows,  liquid  investments
           with a maturity  of three  months or less at date of  investment  are
           considered by the Company to be cash equivalents.

           k. Restricted cash

           The  restricted  cash pertains to a portion of the funds  received in
           the 1996 private  placement  offering  which will be available to the
           Company in the third quarter of 1997.

           l. Goodwill

           Goodwill is amortized by the straight-line method over ten years. The
           Company  assesses  the  recoverability  of this  intangible  asset by
           determining whether the amortization of the goodwill balance over its
           remaining life can be recovered through undiscounted future operating
           cash flows of the acquired operation and other considerations.

           m. Concentration of risks

           Financial  instruments  which  potentially  subject  the  Company  to
           concentrations   of  credit   risk   consist   principally   of  cash
           equivalents,  marketable  securities  and  accounts  receivable.  The
           Company  invests  primarily in money market  accounts and  marketable
           securities and places its  investments  with high quality  financial,
           government  or  corporate   institutions.   The  Company's   accounts
           receivable are derived from sales to customers  located  primarily in
           Europe  and in the Far East.  The  Company  performs  ongoing  credit
           evaluations of its customers. No collateral was required.

           n. Fair value of financial instruments

           The  following  methods and  assumptions  were used by the Company in
           estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

           Cash and cash  equivalents  and short term  deposits  - The  carrying
           amount  reported in the balance  sheet for cash and cash  equivalents
           and short term deposits approximates its fair value.

           Marketable securities - The fair values for marketable securities are
           based on quoted market prices.

Note 9  -   Accrued Severance Pay

            The company's  liability for severance pay, pursuant to Israeli law,
            is fully provided. Part of the liability is funded through insurance
            policies which are not under the control of the Company.

Note 10 -  Commitments and Contingencies

           a.   Royalties are due to financing  participants  in the development
                of  certain  products  mainly  to  the  Chief  Scientist  of the
                Ministry  of  Industry  and Trade in the  Government  of Israel.
                Under the Company's research and development agreements with the
                Chief  Scientist and pursuant to applicable  law, the Company is
                required  to pay  royalties  at the  rate of 2% - 3% of sales of
                products  developed with funds provided by the Chief  Scientist,
                up to an amount  equal to 100% - 150% of the  Chief  Scientist's
                research and development  grants (dollar linked) related to such
                projects.

                For the years  ended  December  31,  1996,  1995 and  1994,  the
                Company  recognized  grants in the amount of $147,851,  $201,430
                and $126,230, respectively, which are presented in the financial
                statements  as an  offset to  research  and  development  costs.
                Related to the grants,  the Company has expensed  royalties  for
                the three years ended  December 31,  1996,  1995 and 1994 in the
                amount of $160,544, $67,372 and $30,394, respectively.

           b.   The Israel  Government,  through the Fund for  Encouragement  of
                Marketing   Activities,   awarded   the   Company   grants   for
                participation in marketing expenses  overseas.  These grants are
                awarded for specific  marketing expenses incurred by the Company
                overseas  and  these   expenses  are  reported  to  the  Israeli
                government  accordingly.  All marketing grants received from the
                Israeli  government are payable only in the form of 3% royalties
                as a percentage of increased  export sales.  Total royalties are
                not to exceed the amounts of the grants received by the Company,
                linked to the U.S.
                dollar.

                However,  if the Company  does not achieve an increase in export
                sales,  it has no  obligation  to pay any royalties or to return
                any  funds  received  from  these  grants.  Accordingly,   these
                proceeds are presented in the financial  statements as an offset
                to marketing  expenses.  The Company recognized grants amounting
                to $144,969 and $95,523 for the years  ending  December 31, 1995
                and 1994,  respectively,  which  are  offset  against  marketing
                expenses.

                Repayment of such grants is not required in the event that there
                are no sales of products with respect to such grants.

Note 11 -  Shareholders' Equity

           In 1996,  the Company  issued  20,520  shares in a private  placement
           offering and raised  proceeds in the amount of  $4,051,106,  and also
           sold 8,450 shares of its  treasury  stock in exchange for proceeds in
           the  amount  of  $80,000.  Additionally  in 1996,  the  Company  paid
           $637,863 in dividends to its  shareholders  from the  accumulated net
           after-tax earnings.

Note 13 -  Income Taxes

           a.   Domestic

                1. Approved Enterprises:

                Tax  benefits  under the Law for the  Encouragement  of  Capital
                Investments, 1959 (hereafter "the law"):

                The  Company's  operations  have  been  granted  the  status  of
                "approved  enterprise"  under the law.  Income derived from such
                enlargement  during a period  of  seven  years  from the year in
                which this enterprise first realizes  taxable income,  is exempt
                from income tax and subject to a corporate tax of 25%.

                Under the provisions of the law, the Company has chosen to enjoy
                "alternative  benefits"  - waiver of  grants  in return  for tax
                exemption - and,  accordingly,  the Company's income will be tax
                exempt  for a period of four years  commencing  with the year it
                first earns  taxable  income.  In the  remaining  three years of
                benefits, the Company will be subject to a corporate tax rate of
                25%.

                In 1996, the Company received approval for an enlargement of its
                "approved  enterprise."  Accordingly,  the Company's income from
                the enlargement will be tax exempt for a period of two years and
                will be subject to a reduced  tax rate of 25% for an  additional
                period of three years.

                If a dividend  is  distributed  out of such  tax-exempt  profits
                deriving  from the  approved  enterprise,  the  Company  will be
                liable to corporate tax at the rate of 25%.

                The period of tax benefits described above, is subject to limits
                of 12 years from the  commencement  of  production,  or 14 years
                from the approval date, whichever is earlier.

                The  law  also   grants   entitlement   to   claim   accelerated
                depreciation  on machinery and  equipment  used by the "approved
                enterprise."

                Any income  derived from outside or other  sources is subject to
                the regular  corporate tax rate, which is 37% in 1995 and 36% in
                1996 and thereafter.

                2. Israeli Tax Law:

                Measurement of results for tax purposes under the Income Tax Law
                (Inflationary  Adjustments) - 1985:

                Under this law,  the  Company  is  entitled  to deduct  from its
                taxable  income  an  "Equity   Preservation   Deduction"  (which
                partially compensates for the decrease in value of shareholders'
                equity  resulting from the annual increase in the Israel CPI) or
                has to add to its taxable income an  "Additional  Amount" (which
                reflects  the effect of such  increase in the Israeli CPI on the
                excess of depreciated  costs of fixed assets over  shareholders'
                equity).

                3. Tax assessments:

                The Company has not  received  final tax  assessments  since its
                inception.

           b.   Foreign

                Tax assessments:

                The Company has not yet  received  assessments  from foreign tax
                authorities since its inception.

           c.   Deferred income taxes

                Deferred  income taxes  reflect the net tax effects of temporary
                differences   between   the   carrying   amount  of  assets  and
                liabilities  for  financial  reporting  purposes and the amounts
                used for  income tax  purposes.  Significant  components  of the
                Company's deferred tax liabilities and assets are as follows:

Note       15 - Effect of Material  Differences  Between Israel and U.S. GAAP on
           the Financial Statements

           The  consolidated  financial  statements  of A.R.  Data Security Ltd.
           conform with accounting principles generally accepted in Israel which
           differ in certain  respects from those  followed in the United States
           as described below.

           Treatment of compensation expenses for warrants issued to employees:

<PAGE>

           The benefit  component  (compensation  expense of warrants  issued to
           employees)  is usually not  recognized  in the  financial  statements
           under Israeli GAAP.

           Under  U.S.  GAAP,  the excess of the  quoted  market  price over the
           exercise price of an option at the date of the grant is recognized as
           compensation  expense of the periods in which the  employee  performs
           the  services  for  which  the   compensation   was  granted.  

Note 16 -  Subsequent Event (Unaudited)

           In September  1997,  A.R.  Data  Security  Ltd.  entered into a stock
           purchase   agreement  with  Cylink   Corporation   ("Cylink"  or  the
           "Acquiring  Company") to sell all of the outstanding  common stock of
           Algart and A.R. Ltd. to Cylink.  Subsequent to this transaction,  the
           only  remaining  assets of A.R.  Data  Security  were cash and equity
           securities received from the Acquiring Company.

Item 7 (b).   Pro Forma Financial Information

           Included are the unaudited pro forma combined condensed statements of
operations  for the six month  period ended June 27, 1997 and for the year ended
December 31, 1996.

           On September 8, 1997,  Cylink acquired all of the outstanding  shares
of Algorithmic Research,  Ltd. and Algart Holdings,  Ltd. (hereafter referred to
on a combined basis as "Algorithmic Research"), both limited liability companies
organized under the laws of the State of Israel. Consideration for this purchase
was $44,881,000 in cash, net of cash acquired,  including  transaction  expenses
paid and accrued of $2,996,000 and $531,000,  respectively; and 2,593,169 shares
of Cylink's  common stock and 409,641  fully vested  options to purchase  common
stock of Cylink for $0.01 per share.  The total value placed on the common stock
and options  issued was  $29,525,000.  The common  stock and options  issued are
subject to decreasing  restrictions on trading and exercise,  respectively,  for
three years from the  transaction  date. The  acquisition was recorded under the
purchase method of accounting; and accordingly, the purchase price was allocated
to assets acquired and liabilities  assumed based upon the fair market values at
the date of acquisition.

           The  following  unaudited  pro  forma  combined  condensed  financial
information  gives effect to the  acquisition  as if the  transaction  had taken
place at the beginning of 1996. A pro forma combined  condensed balance sheet is
not being  filed  pursuant to Rule 11-02 of  Regulation  S-X.  The  consolidated
balance  sheet  of  Cylink  filed in  connection  with  the  Cylink  Corporation
Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 26, 1997 includes
the  balance  sheet  data for  Algorithmic  Research.  The  unaudited  pro forma
combined  condensed  statements of operations are not necessarily  indicative of
the  operating  results  that would have been  achieved if the  transaction  had
occurred on the date indicated and should not be construed as  representative of
future operations.  The historical  financial  statements of A.R. Data Security,
Ltd.  are  included  elsewhere  in this  filing,  and the  unaudited  pro  forma
financial  information presented herein should be read in conjunction with those
financial statements and related notes.

       (b) To  reflect  the  reduction  in  interest  income  resulting  from  a
           decreased   level  of  invested  funds  due  to  cash  used  for  the
           acquisition of Algorithmic Research.

       (c) To reflect the tax benefit  resulting  from the  decrease in interest
           income  calculated  at  the  estimated  combined  federal  and  state
           statutory rates.  The amortization of capitalized  intangibles is not
           deductible for income tax purposes.

Note 3 -   Nonrecurring Charges

           The nonrecurring charge resulting from acquired in-process technology
           is not  reflected  in the  pro  forma  information  presented  herein
           pursuant  to Article  11 of  Regulation  S-X.  Amounts  allocated  to
           technology  were  estimated  using a risk  adjusted  income  approach
           applied   to   specifically   identified   technologies.   In-process
           technology  was  expensed  upon  acquisition  because   technological
           feasibility had not been  established and no alternative  future uses
           existed.  The charge  resulting  from  in-process  technology  is not
           deductible for income tax purposes.
