                          Independent Auditors' Report

The Board of Directors
Netopia, Inc. and subsidiaries:

     We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Netopia, Inc. and
subsidiaries (the Company) as listed in the accompanying index. In connection
with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we have also audited
the financial statement schedule as listed in the accompanying index. These
consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement
schedule based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards 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. 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 provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Netopia,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of September 30, 1999 and 1998 and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period
ended September 30, 1999 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when
considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a
whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth
herein.

     Principles of Consolidation

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries located in France, Germany and the
Netherlands. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.

     Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments

     Cash equivalents consist of instruments with purchased maturities of 90
days or less. Certain cash equivalents and all of the Company's investments are
classified as available-for-sale under the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
and Equity Securities. The securities are carried at fair value, which
approximates cost.

     The amortized cost of available-for-sale debt securities is adjusted for
amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Such
amortization is included in other income, net. Realized gains and losses, and
declines in value judged to be other than temporary on available-for-sale
securities are included in other income, net. The cost of securities sold is
based on the specific identification method. Interest and dividends on
securities classified as available-for-sale are included in other income, net.

     Cash equivalents and short-term investments classified as available-for-
sale as of September 30, 1999 and 1998, consisted of the following (in

     Revenue Recognition

     The Company recognizes revenue from sales of its hardware products upon
shipment of the product. The Company recognizes revenues from licenses of
computer software provided that a firm purchase order has been received, the
software and related documentation have been shipped, collection of the
resulting receivable is deemed probable, and no other significant vendor
obligations exist. Maintenance and service revenues are recognized over the
period in which services are provided. Certain of the Company's sales are made
to customers under agreements permitting right of return for stock balancing and
price protection. Revenue is recorded net of an estimated allowance for returns.

     In October 1997, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee (AcSec) of
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of
Position (SOP) No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition. The Company adopted SOP
97-2 for software transactions entered into beginning October 1, 1998.  SOP 97-2
generally requires revenue earned on software arrangements involving multiple
elements (i.e., software products, upgrades, enhancements, postcontract customer
support, installation and training) to be allocated to each element based on the
relative fair values of the elements. The fair value of an element must be based
on evidence which is specific to the vendor. The revenue allocated to software
products, including specified upgrades or enhancements generally is recognized
upon delivery of the products. The revenue allocated to post contract customer
support generally is recognized ratably over the term of the support, and
revenue allocated to service elements generally is recognized as the services
are performed. If evidence of the fair value for all elements of the arrangement
does not exist, all revenue from the arrangement is deferred until such evidence
exists or until all elements are delivered. Adoption of SOP 97-2 did not have a
material impact on the Company's results of operations.

     In December 1998, AcSec issued SOP 98-9, Software Revenue Recognition, With
Respect to Certain Transactions, which requires recognition of revenue using the
"residual method" in a multiple-element arrangement when fair value does not
exist for one or more of the delivered elements in the arrangement. Under the
"residual method," the total fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred
and subsequently recognized in accordance with SOP 97-2. The Company does not
expect a material change to its accounting for revenues as a result of the
provisions of SOP 98-9.

     Concentrations of Credit Risk

     Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations
of credit risk principally consist of cash, cash equivalents, short-term
investments, and accounts receivable.

     The Company limits the amounts invested in any one type of investment. The
Company maintains its cash investments with two financial institutions.
Management believes the financial risks associated with such deposits are
minimal.

     The Company sells its products primarily through distributors and
resellers. Sales are generally not collateralized, credit evaluations are
performed as appropriate, and allowances are provided for estimated credit
losses. Historically, the Company has not experienced significant losses on
trade receivables from any particular customer, industry, or geographic region.

     Inventories

     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined
by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment

     Furniture, fixtures, and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the
shorter of estimated useful lives or related lease terms ranging from one to
seven years.

     Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, Including Intangible Assets

     The Company evaluates long-lived assets and certain identifiable
intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of
assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of
an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such
assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is
measured by the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of
the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying
values or fair values, less costs of disposal.

     Intangible assets consist of items related to our business combinations.
Goodwill is amortized over a four-year period.  Acquired technology is being
amortized over its estimated useful life of approximately three years.

     Software Development Costs

     Research and development costs include costs related to software products
that are expensed as incurred until the technological feasibility of the product
has been established. The Company has defined technological feasibility as
completion of a working model. After technological feasibility is established,
any additional software development costs are capitalized in accordance with
SFAS No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased,
or Otherwise Marketed. Product development costs capitalized are amortized over
a future period.

     Amortization of capitalized product development costs begins when the
products are available for general release to customers, and is computed on a
product-by-product basis as the greater of: (i) the ratio of current gross
revenue for a product to the total of current and anticipated future gross
revenues for the product; or (ii) the straight-line method over the remaining
estimated economic life of the product, which is generally two years. All other
research and development expenditures are charged to research and development
expense in the period incurred. During fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997, $656,000,
$237,000 and $350,000, respectively, of product development cost incurred
subsequent to delivery of a working model, under a development agreement with a
third party, have been capitalized.

     Advertising Costs

     The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense was
$1.7 million, $1.3 million and $1.0 million for fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

     Income Taxes

     Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years that those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in

                                       9

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided
to the extent such deferred tax assets may not be realized.

     Stock-Based Compensation

     The Company has elected to continue to use the intrinsic value-based method
as allowed under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees, to account for all of its stock-based employee
compensation plans. Pursuant to SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, the Company is required to disclose the pro forma effects on
operating results as if the Company had elected to use the fair value approach
to account for all its stock-based employee compensation plans.

     Use of Estimates

     The preparation of the consolidated 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 date of the consolidated
financial statements and the recorded amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     Per Share Calculations

     Basic net income (loss) per share (EPS) is based on the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net
income (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding during the period and dilutive common equivalent shares
from options and warrants outstanding during the period. No common equivalent
shares are included for loss periods as they would be anti-dilutive. Dilutive
common equivalent shares consist of options and warrants.

     Potentially dilutive common shares have been excluded from the computation
of diluted EPS for fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997 since their effect on EPS is
antidilutive due to the losses incurred in each period. Consequently, the number
of shares in the computations of basic and diluted EPS is the same for each
period. Potentially dilutive common shares which were excluded from the
computation of diluted

     EPS consisted of options to purchase common stock totaling 4,040,520 in
fiscal 1999, 3,520,899 in fiscal 1998 and 2,867,200 in fiscal 1997, and 60,000
warrants in fiscal years 1999, 1998 and 1997.

     Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In March 1998, AcSec issued SOP 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer
Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use. SOP 98-1 requires that certain
costs related to the development

     or purchase of internal-use software be capitalized and amortized over the
estimated useful life of the software. SOP 98-1 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. The
Company does not expect the adoption of SOP 98-1 will have a material impact on
its results of operations.

     In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative and
Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards
for derivative instruments (including derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts) and for hedging activities.  SFAS No. 133, as

amended by SFAS No. 137, is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000. To date, the Company has not entered into any
derivative financial instruments or hedging activities.

(2)  Acquisitions

   On December 17, 1998, the Company closed a transaction to purchase
substantially all of the assets and assume certain liabilities and the existing
operations of Serus LLC ("Serus"), a Utah limited liability company. Serus is
developing a java-based web site editing software product which would allow web
site owners to modify and edit the appearance of their web site through their
web browser with minimal knowledge of Hypertext Markup Language ("HTML"). Upon
completion of the development of such products, Netopia intends to market the
products both independently and along with its Netopia Virtual Office software
platform to allow users more flexibility in customizing their web sites. In
accordance with the Serus Asset Purchase Agreement, Netopia acquired
substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Serus and its
existing operations which included in-process research and development. The
maximum aggregate purchase price of the Serus transaction is approximately $7.0
million including (i) $3.0 million of cash paid on the closing date of the
transaction, (ii) 409,556 shares of the Company's Common Stock issued on the
closing date, and (iii) a $1.0 million earnout opportunity based upon certain
criteria as set forth in the Serus Purchase Agreement. The excess purchase price
over the net book value acquired was $6.0 million, of which, based upon the
Company's estimates prepared in conjunction with a third party valuation
consultant, $3.9 million was allocated to acquired in-process research and
development and $2.1 million was allocated to intangible assets. The amounts
allocated to intangible assets include assembled workforces of $100,000 and
goodwill of $2.0 million. The Company used the income approach to appraise the
value of the business and projects acquired. Such method takes into
consideration the stage of completion of the project and estimates related to
expected future revenues, expenses and cash flows which are then discounted back
to present day amounts. Based upon these estimates, material net cash flows from
the acquired business are expected to occur during the calendar year 2001. These
cash flows were discounted using a discount rate of 44.0%. Based upon the
expenses incurred and the development time invested in the product prior to the
acquisition and the estimated expenses and development time to complete the
product, the Company determined the product to be approximately 85% complete at
the time of acquisition. On November 15, 1999, the Company launched the product
and is marketing the product under the Net Jane product brand name. Since the
acquisition date, the Company expended approximately $664,000 to complete
development of the product. The $1.0 million earnout opportunity described above
shall be accounted for when it is deemed probable that the earnout will be
earned. The Company will amortize goodwill related to the Serus transaction over
the next four years. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1999, goodwill
amortization related to the Serus transaction was $398,000.

     On December 31, 1998, the Company closed a transaction to purchase from
Network Associates' substantially all of the assets and assume certain
liabilities related to the netOctopus systems management software
("netOctopus"). The netOctopus software is a suite of administration tools under
development that allows for simultaneous system support of multiple users across
MacOS computer networks. Upon completion of the development of the Windows
versions of the netOctopus software products, Netopia intends to market the
products both independently and along with its Timbuktu Pro software. In
accordance with the netOctopus Purchase Agreement, Netopia acquired
substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities related to the
netOctopus software and its existing operations which included in-process
research and development. The maximum aggregate purchase price of the netOctopus
transaction was $1.1 million of cash paid on the closing date of the
transaction. In addition, there is a $300,000 earnout opportunity based upon
certain criteria as set forth in the netOctopus Purchase Agreement. The excess
purchase price over the net book value acquired was $1.1 million, of which,
based

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

upon the Company's estimates prepared in conjunction with a third party
valuation consultant, $400,000 was allocated to acquired in-process research and
development and $753,000 was allocated to intangible assets. The amounts
allocated to intangible assets include assembled workforces of $60,000,
developed technology of $540,000 and goodwill of $100,000. The Company used the
income approach to appraise the value of the business and projects acquired.
Such method takes into consideration the stage of completion of the project and
estimates related to expected future revenues, expenses and cash flows which are
then discounted back to present day amounts. Based upon these estimates,
material net cash flows from the acquired business are expected to occur during
the calendar year 2000. These cash flows were discounted using a discount rate
of 25.0%. Based upon the expenses incurred and the development time invested in
the product prior to the acquisition and the estimated expenses and development
time to complete the product, the Company determined the product to be
approximately 70% complete at the time of acquisition. In fiscal 1999, the
Company completed the development of the Windows versions of the product. From
the acquisition date, the Company expended approximately $287,000 to complete
development of the product. The Company is amortizing the goodwill related to
the netOctopus transaction over the next four years. During the fiscal year
ended September 30, 1999, goodwill amortization related to the netOctopus
transaction was $145,000.

     The Company has not presented pro-forma financial statements giving effect
to the aforementioned acquisitions as the pro forma results would not materially
differ from the financial statements presented herein for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 1999.

(3)  Discontinued Operations

     On August 5, 1998, the Company sold its Farallon Local Area Networking
(LAN) Division (the LAN Division) including the LAN Division's products,
accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, intellectual property
and other related assets to Farallon Communications, Inc. (Farallon), formerly
known as Farallon Networking Corporation, a Delaware corporation and an
affiliate of Gores

     Technology Group (Gores). The consideration the Company received for the
sale of the LAN Division consisted of the following (in thousands):

     The note receivable is for $1.0 million payable on July 31, 2000, bearing
interest at 8% per annum. The value of the note has been discounted to reflect a
rate of 15%, the assumed fair market rate of interest for a similar financial
instrument.

     The royalties receivable are based upon Farallon's total annual revenues
over each of the next five fiscal years ending on July 31, 2003. If total annual
revenues of at least $15.0 million are reached, the royalty rate applies to
total revenues, including the first $15.0 million. The royalties to be received
are based on the following schedule:

</TABLE>

     The value of the royalties accrued at the close of the transaction was
based upon the present value of the Company's assumptions as to the projected
future revenue of the LAN Division. Royalties accrued; however, were not
recorded to the extent that total consideration on the transaction exceeded the
net asset value of the LAN Division assets being sold.

     Additionally, the Company received and valued warrants to purchase up to 5%
of the equity of Farallon as of the closing of the transaction.

     The disposition of the LAN Division in August 1998 has been accounted for
as a discontinued operation in accordance with APB Opinion No. 30, and prior
period consolidated financial statements have been restated to reflect the LAN
Division's operations as a discontinued operation. Revenue from discontinued
operations was $15.1 million and $32.0 million in fiscal 1998 and 1997,
respectively. The income from discontinued operations of $602,000 and $3.0
million in fiscal 1998 and 1997, respectively, represents operating income, net
of taxes, of the discontinued operation. The loss on sale of discontinued
operations of $3.1 million in fiscal 1998 is principally comprised of the
transaction expenses and costs incurred and accrued as a result of the sale of
the LAN Division. Such expenses are directly attributable to the sale
transaction and are primarily related to reserves taken against the lease of the
Company's Alameda, California headquarters, investment advisory, legal and
accounting fees and certain expenses related to employees of the LAN Division.
Of the amount recorded as a loss on the sale of discontinued operations, $1.2
million and $2.5 million is included in accrued liabilities at September 30,
1999 and 1998, respectively.

     The following approximates the accrued liabilities of the LAN Division
which are included in the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 1999
and 1998 (in thousands):

     The net change in the total valuation allowance for the years ended
September 30, 1999 and 1998 was increases of $2,772,000 and $6,082,000,
respectively.

     At September 30, 1999 and 1998, the Company believed that based upon
available objective evidence, there was sufficient uncertainty regarding the
realizability of its deferred tax assets to warrant a full valuation allowance.
The factors considered included the relative shorter life cycles in the high
technology industry and the uncertainty of longer-term taxable income estimates
related thereto and as a result of the sale of the historically profitable LAN
Division.

     At September 30, 1997, the Company believed that based upon the then
available objective evidence, there was sufficient uncertainty regarding the
realizability of certain of its tax assets to warrant a partial valuation
allowance, primarily related to the expected realizability of its research
credit carryforwards. The factors considered included the relative shorter
product life cycles in the high technology industry and the uncertainty of
longer-term taxable income estimates related thereto and limits on the carryback
potential for realizing deferred tax assets.

     At September 30, 1999, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $12.0 million for federal tax purposes and $6.0 million for state
tax purposes. If not earlier utilized, the federal net operating loss
carryforwards will expire in 2019 and the state net operating loss carryforwards
will expire in 2004. At September 30, 1999, the Company had research credit
carryforwards of approximately $1.5 million for federal tax purposes and
$382,000 for state tax purposes. If not earlier utilized, the federal research
credit carryforwards will expire in years 2009 through 2019.  The Company's
future ability to utilize the net operating loss carryforwards and research
credit carryforwards may be subject to limitations in the event of ownership
changes as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

(7)  Stockholders' Equity and Stock Option Plan

     On April 23, 1996 the Company was reincorporated in the State of Delaware.
The Company's authorized capital consists of 25,000,000 shares of $0.001 par
value common stock and 5,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value Preferred Stock.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     Common Stock

     The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all
matters to be voted upon by the stockholders. Subject to preferences that may be
applicable to any outstanding Preferred Stock, the holders of common stock are
entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time
to time by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available. In the event
of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of
common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment
of liabilities, subject to prior distribution rights of Preferred Stock, if any,
then outstanding. The common stock has no preemptive or conversion rights or
other subscription rights.

     Preferred Stock

     Upon the Company's initial public offering of its Common Stock on June 13,
1996, all shares of issued and outstanding Preferred Stock were converted to
5,591,207 shares of Common Stock. Following the conversion, the Company had no
Preferred Stock outstanding.

     Common Stock Warrants

     Warrants to purchase 60,000 shares of common stock were issued in fiscal
1997 for consulting services provided. The warrants will expire on April 22,
2002. The exercise price of the warrants was $4.00. The Company recognized an
expense of $60,000 for the estimated fair value of the warrants issued.

     Stock Option Plan

     On April 16, 1996, the Board adopted the 1996 Stock Option Plan (the 1996
Plan) providing for the issuance of incentive or non-statutory options to
directors, employees, and non-employee consultants. Options are granted at the
discretion of the Board of Directors. As of September 30, 1999 the 1996 Plan
share reserve of 4,170,714 shares is comprised of (i) 4,040,520 shares subject
to outstanding options and (ii) 130,194 shares available for grant.

     Incentive stock may be granted at not less than 100% of the fair market
value per share and non-statutory stock options may be granted at not less than
85% of the fair market value per share at the date of grant as determined by the
Board of Directors or committee thereof, except for options granted to a person
owning greater than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of
stock of the Company, for which the exercise price of the options must be not
less than 110% of the fair market value.

     Included in the 1996 Plan is a provision for the automatic grant of non-
statutory options to non-employee Board of Director members of 25,000 shares on
the effective date of the Company's initial public offering at the initial
offering price. These options were granted to three non-employee Board of
Director members, of which two currently remain on the Company's Board of
Directors. Thereafter, each new director will be granted an option to purchase
25,000 shares of common stock on the date they become a Board member of the
Company at the then current fair market value. Options issued to Directors after
December 31, 1996 will become exercisable in five successive and equal annual
installments over the non-employee Board member's period of continued service as
a Board member, beginning one year from the grant date of the option.

     The Board of Directors, on July 24, 1996, unanimously amended the Notice of
Grant to provide for a four year vesting schedule commencing on the date of the
grant. Grants prior to that date normally vest over five years commencing on the
date of the grant.

     In the first quarter of fiscal 1999 in connection with the sale of the LAN
Division to Gores, the Company provided a 90-day extension of the exercise
period for all LAN Division employees with outstanding stock options priced at
$4.00 or higher in the Company. This resulted in a total compensation charge of
$33,000. Also in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 in connection with the sale of
the LAN Division to Gores, the Company provided for an accelerated vesting
period to certain employees of the LAN Division for their outstanding stock
options in the Company. This resulted in a total compensation charge of
approximately $143,000.

     In 1990, the Company effected a recapitalization whereby each share of the
Company's common stock outstanding or reserved for issuance upon exercise of
options was converted into a unit for one share of common stock and one share of
Series A Preferred Stock.  There are currently no options remaining on the
converted shares.  In January 1997, the Company repriced 180,840 outstanding
options to $5.63, no directors or officers of the Company received repriced
options. The options relating to this action are reflected in the table below.

     The following table summarizes activity under the 1996 Plan (and its
predecessor):

     1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

     On April 16, 1996, the Board adopted the 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
(the Purchase Plan) and reserved 300,000 shares of common stock for issuance
under the Purchase Plan. To date an additional 450,000 shares have been approved
for issuance under the Purchase Plan. Employees may purchase shares of common
stock at a price per share that is 85% of the lesser of the fair market value as
of the beginning or the end of the semi-annual option period.

     Shares issued under the Purchase Plan totaled 199,721 in fiscal 1999,
153,157 in fiscal 1998 and 178,236 in fiscal 1997. As of September 30, 1999,
531,114 shares have been issued under the Purchase Plan and 218,886 shares were
reserved for future issuances under the plan.

     Pro Forma Disclosure -- Compensatory Stock Arrangements

     Stock options are granted at not less than the fair market value of the
common stock on the date of grant. All options expire no later than 10 years
from the date of grant. The Company has adopted the disclosure provisions of
SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, which was issued in
October 1995. As permitted by the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company
applies APB Opinion 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its stock
option plans.

     If the Company had elected to recognize compensation cost based on the fair
value of the options granted at grant date and the fair value of shares
purchased under the plan as prescribed by SFAS No. 123, net income (loss) and
per share results would have been the pro forma amounts indicated in the table
below (in thousands, except per share amounts):

</TABLE>

     The effect on net loss and net loss per share is not expected to be
indicative of the effects on results in future years.

     The effect of applying SFAS No. 123 for disclosing compensation costs may
not be representative of the effects on reported net loss for the future years
because pro forma net loss reflects compensation costs only for stock options
granted in fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997. The weighted average fair value of
employee stock options granted during fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997 was $8.08,
$3.48 and $3.05 respectively.

     The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in
estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions
and are fully transferable while the Company's employee stock options have
characteristics significantly different from those of traded options. In
addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective
assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. The fair value of
each option grant and share purchased under the Purchase Plan are estimated on
the date of grant or share purchase using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model
with the following assumptions:

     Litigation

     The Company is involved in various legal matters that have arisen in the
normal course of business. Management believes, after consultation with counsel,
any liability that may result from the disposition of such legal matters will
not have a material adverse effect on the Company's operating results and
financial condition.

     Plan for Savings and Investments

     The Company maintains a plan for savings and investments under which
eligible employees may contribute up to 15% of their annual compensation. In
addition, the Company may make discretionary retirement contributions to the
plan. No discretionary retirement contributions were made in any period
presented.

(9)  Geographic, Segment and Significant Customer Information

     The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 131, Disclosure about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, during fiscal year 1999. SFAS
No. 131 establishes standards for the reporting by public business enterprises
of information about operating segments, products and services, geographic
areas, and major customers. The methodology for determining what information is
reported is based on the organization of operating segments and the related
information that the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) uses for operational
decisions and financial performance assessments. The Company's Chief Executive
Officer (CEO) is considered its CODM. For purposes of making operating decisions
and assessing financial performance, the CEO reviews financial information
presented on a consolidated basis accompanied by disaggregated information for
revenues and gross margins by product group as well as revenues by geographic
region and by customer. Currently, operating expenses and assets are not
disaggregated by product group for purposes of making operating decisions and
assessing performance.

(10)    Subsequent Event

  On October 13, 1999, the Company acquired StarNet Technologies, Inc.,
("StarNet"), a California corporation in a merger transaction in which StarNet
merged into a newly formed, wholly owned, subsidiary.  StarNet has been
developing a voice channel technology architecture that allows the transmission
of up to eight voice lines over a digital subscriber line along with the
simultaneous transmission of standard data packets. The Company intends to
integrate StarNet's technology into its Internet connectivity product
development and begin offering voice and data integrated access devices. Any
delay in the completion of the development of the products would cause the
Company to incur additional unplanned development expenses as well as the loss
or deferral of customer purchases, either of which could adversely affect the
Company's business.

     The Company will account for the transaction under the purchase method.
The aggregate consideration constituting the purchase price is approximately
$27.5 million at closing (which includes

                                       23

$1.0 million of the potential earnout payments discussed below), and may
increase by up to an additional $4.9 million depending on the actual amount of
potential earnout payments. The aggregate consideration includes:

 .  $8.4 million in cash paid on the closing date of the transaction;

 .  447,852 shares of the Company's common stock issued on the closing date;

 .  A series of potential cash earnout payments aggregating up to approximately
   $5.9 million at various times after the closing date if certain technical and
   revenue milestones are achieved. These earnout opportunities will be included
   in the purchase price for accounting purposes when it is deemed probable that
   the earnout will be earned. At the acquisition date, the Company has deemed
   probable and recorded approximately $1.0 million in earnout payments;

 .  The substitution of stock options to purchase the Company's common stock in
   replacement of the StarNet options held by StarNet's former employees, who
   joined the Company after the closing, valued at approximately $1.4 million
   using the following assumptions for valuation purposes: volatility of 101%,
   expected life of 4 years, interest rate of 4.9%, and no dividends; and,

 .  Transaction costs of approximately $800,000 which include legal fees,
   accounting fees, fees paid for an independent fairness opinion, and fees for
   other related professional services.

     Approximately 30,673 shares of common stock will be held in escrow for a
period of time after the closing to satisfy StarNet's indemnification
obligations under the definitive acquisition agreements.

     The issuance of shares in the merger was not registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance upon the Securities Act's
exemption from the registration requirements for nonpublic offerings, and resale
of the shares is restricted under the Securities Act. The Company has agreed to
file a registration statement on Form S-3 registering the resale of the shares.
Resale of the shares under the registration statement will be subject to certain
customary restrictions.

     The acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase and will result in
goodwill and other intangible assets of approximately $22.0 million which will
amortized over three to four years and a charge for acquired in process research
and development of $5.7 million which will be recorded in the first fiscal
quarter of 2000.

     The Company used the income approach to appraise the value of the business
and projects acquired. Such method takes into consideration the stage of
completion of the project and estimates related to expected future revenues,
expenses and cash flows which are then discounted back to present day amounts.
Based upon these estimates, material net cash flows from the acquired business
are expected to occur during the calendar year 2000. These cash flows were
discounted using a weighted average discount rate of 20%. Based upon the
expenses incurred and the development time invested in the products prior to the
acquisition and the estimated expenses and development time to complete the
products, the Company determined the products to be approximately 73% complete
at the time of acquisition.

     The funds used to pay the cash portion of the purchase price were derived
from the Company's existing working capital.

     All of StarNet's former full time employees became employees of the
Company.  Each of StarNet's founders, and certain other key employees, entered
into non-competition agreements in connection with the acquisition.

The Board of Directors
StarNet Technologies, Inc.:

     We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of StarNet Technologies,

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based

reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting

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 provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of StarNet Technologies, Inc.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)  Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     (a)  Nature of Business

     StarNet Technologies, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in the state of
California in January 1996 to develop and market business communication products
using Internet access devices. The operations of the Company include product
customization services relating to this sector.

     (b)  Cash and Cash Equivalents

     The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an
original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

     (c)  Revenue Recognition

     Revenue from product sales is recognized upon shipment provided that a
purchase order has been received or a contract has been executed, there are no
uncertainties regarding customer acceptance, the fee is fixed and determinable
and collectibility is deemed probable. If uncertainties regarding customer
acceptance exist, revenue is recognized when such uncertainties are resolved.
Product customization revenue is recognized when services are completed, as the
duration of the projects is typically three to six months.

     (d)  Inventories

     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined
by the weighted-average method. Inventories consisted of raw materials as of
September 30, 1999.

     (e) Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets

     Prepaid expenses and other assets include capitalized license fees. License
fees are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated lives which
range from one to two years.

     (f)  Property and Equipment

     The Company capitalizes property and equipment that have an acquisition
cost of $5,000 or greater. During the years ended September 30, 1999 and 1998,
the Company did not capitalize any property and equipment.

(g)  Income Taxes

     Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years that those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
period that includes the enactment date.

                          STARNET TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     (h)  Stock-Based Compensation

     The Company has elected to continue to use the intrinsic value-based method
as allowed under APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,
to account for all of its stock-based employee compensation plans. Pursuant to
Statement of Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, the Company is required to disclose the pro forma effects on
operating results as if the Company had elected to use the fair value approach
to account for all its stock-based employee compensation plans.

     (i)  Comprehensive Loss

     On October 1, 1998, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 130,
Reporting Comprehensive Income. SFAS No. 130 establishes standards of
comprehensive income (loss) and its components in a full set of financial
statements. The Company's comprehensive loss consists of net loss. SFAS No. 130
requires only additional disclosures in the financial statements; it does not
affect the Company's financial position or results of operations.

     (j) Financial Instruments and Concentrations of Credit Risks

     The carrying value of the Company's financial instruments, including cash
and cash equivalents and accounts receivable approximates fair market value due
to their short-term nature. Financial instruments that subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and
accounts receivable.

     Credit risk is concentrated in North America. The Company performs ongoing
credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and, generally,
requires no collateral from its customers. The Company has had immaterial write-
offs of accounts receivable to date. Based on its ongoing credit evaluations,
the Company has adequately reserved for doubtful accounts as of the date of each
balance sheet presented herein.

     (k)  Segment Information

     On October 1, 1998, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 131,
Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. SFAS No.
131 establishes annual and interim reporting standards for operating segments of
a company. SFAS No. 131 requires disclosures of selected segment-related
financial information and descriptive information about products, major
customers and geographic areas. The Company has one operating segment because it
is not organized by multiple segments for purposes of making operating decisions
or assessing performance. The chief operating decision maker is the Chief
Executive Officer (CEO). The CEO evaluates performance, makes operating
decisions and allocates resources based on financial data consistent with the
presentation in the accompanying financial statements. All of the Company's
long-lived assets are located in the United States.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
     (l)  Use of Estimates

     The preparation of the 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 date of the financial
statements and the recorded amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     (m) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments (including derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts) and for hedging activities. SFAS No. 133, as
amended by SFAS No. 137, is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000. To date, the Company has not entered into any
derivative financial instruments or hedging activities.

     In March 1998, AcSec issued SOP 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer
Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use. SOP 98-1 requires that certain
costs related to the development or purchase of internal-use software be
capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the software. SOP
98-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1998. The Company does not expect the adoption of SOP 98-1
will have a material impact on its results of operations.

(2)  Income Taxes

     Income tax expense for the years ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 was
$800, the minimum California state income tax. Income tax expense differs from
the amounts computed by applying the statutory income tax rate of 34% to pretax
loss as a result of net operating losses not benefited.

     The Company has gross deferred tax assets of approximately $1,040,000 and
$480,000 as of September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, consisting primarily
of its net operating loss carryforwards. The deferred tax assets were fully
offset by a valuation allowance. The change in the valuation allowance was
$560,000 for September 30, 1999.

     As of September 30, 1999, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards
of approximately $2.6 million for federal and state tax purposes. If not earlier
utilized, the federal net operating loss carryforwards will expire beginning
2011 through 2019 and the state net operating loss carryforwards will expire in
2004. The Company's future ability to utilize the net operating loss
carryforwards may be subject to limitations in the event of ownership changes as
defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

(3)  Stockholders' Equity and Stock Option Plan

     (a)  Convertible Preferred Stock

     The Series A and B preferred stock have no par value. The holders of shares
of Series A preferred stock are entitled to receive dividends at a rate of $0.01
per share per annum. The holders of shares of Series B preferred stock are
entitled to receive dividends in preference to holders of common stock at an
annual rate of $0.0375. Such dividends shall be payable only when and if
declared by the Board of Directors and shall be noncumulative. No dividends are
payable on any common stock of the Company during any fiscal year of the Company
until dividends in the amounts of $0.01 per share and $0.0375 per share on the
Series A and Series B preferred stock, respectively, have been paid or declared
and set apart during the fiscal year. No dividends have been declared to date.

     In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company,
either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of Series A and Series B preferred
stock are entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of
the assets or surplus funds of the Company to the holders of common stock, the
amount of $0.20 per share plus declared but unpaid dividends on each share of
Series A preferred stock and the amount of $0.75 per share plus all declared but
unpaid dividends on each share of Series B preferred stock. All assets remaining
after payment of liabilities, subject to prior distribution rights of Series A
preferred stock and Series B preferred stock, are distributed among the holders
of the Series A and Series B preferred stock and common stock pro rata based on
the number of shares held by each (assuming conversion of all Series A and B
preferred stock).

     Each share of preferred stock is convertible into common stock at the
option of the holder, at any time, on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain
adjustments for antidilution. Each share of preferred stock will automatically
convert into one share of common stock, subject to certain adjustments for
antidilution, upon the earlier of (1) the vote of the majority of the preferred
stock shareholders; or (2) the closing of an underwritten public offering with a
per share price in excess of $2.00, subject to certain adjustments for
antidilution, and with gross proceeds in excess of $7,500,000. The holders of
preferred stock have voting rights on an "as if converted" basis.

     (b)  Common Stock

     In 1997, the Company issued 4,750,000 shares of common stock to the
founders for $47,500. The Company has promissory notes receivable from certain
common stockholders in consideration for shares of the Company's common stock
issued to the stockholders. The interest rate is 6.9% per annum on the unpaid
balance of the principal sum. Principal sum and interest are due and payable on
August 25, 2001. The related shares of common stock are pledged as security for
the notes.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     (c)  Preferred Stock Warrants

     Warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of Series B preferred stock were issued
in fiscal 1999 in connection with the financing of a bridge loan. The warrants
will terminate upon the earliest to occur of the following (a) October 6, 2000,
(b) the sale, conveyance, disposal of substantially all of the Company's
property business or the Company's merger or (c) the closing of a Company
commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to a registration statement
under the Securities Act. The exercise price of the warrants is $0.75 per share
and the fair value of the warrants was $2,000, which was recognized as interest
expense in fiscal 1999. The fair value of the warrants was estimated on the date
of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions:
risk-free rate of 5.0%; expected life of 2 years; expected volatility of 60%;
and no dividends.

     (d)  Stock Option Plan

     The Company has reserved 5,717,500 shares of common stock under its 1997
Stock Plan (the 1997 Plan), amended February 1998 and June 1999, providing for
the issuance of incentive or non-statutory options for common stock shares to
directors, employees, and non-employee consultants. Options are granted at the
discretion of the Board of Directors.

     Under the terms of the 1997 Plan, incentive stock options may be granted at
an exercise price not less than 100% of the estimated fair market value per
share and non-statutory stock options may be granted at not less than 85% of the
fair market value per share at the date of grant as determined by the Board of
Directors, except for options granted to a person owning greater than 10% of the
total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, for which
the exercise price of the options must be not less than 100% of the fair market
value. Incentive stock options may be granted only to employees.

     Options granted under the terms of the 1997 Plan generally vest over a
period of 24 or 48 months. During fiscal 1999, the Company accelerated the
vesting for 25,000 options granted to the Board of Directors and to two
consultants resulting in a total compensation expense of approximately $43,000.

     The Company recorded compensation expense of $98,465 and $1,083 in fiscal
1999 and 1998, respectively, for options granted to non-employee consultants
where the performance commitment had been reached. Compensation expense was
charged to operating expense. The fair value of the options to non-employees was
estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following
assumptions: risk-free rate of 5.0%; expected life of 3 years; expected
volatility of 60%; and no dividends.

     The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in
estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions
and are fully transferable while the Company's employee stock options have
characteristics significantly different from those of traded options. In
addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective
assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. The fair value of
each option grant and share purchased under the Purchase Plan are estimated
using the minimum value method on the date of grant or share purchase using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

(7)  Subsequent Event

     On October 13, 1999, the Company was acquired by Netopia, Inc. (Netopia) in
a merger transaction in which the Company merged into a newly formed, wholly
owned, subsidiary of Netopia. Netopia intends to integrate StarNet's technology
into its Internet connectivity product development and begin offering voice and
data integrated access devices.

     The aggregate consideration constituting the purchase price is
approximately $27.5 million at closing (which includes $1.0 million of the
potential earnout payments discussed below), and may increase by up to an
additional $4.9 million depending on the actual amount of potential earnout
payments. The aggregate consideration includes:

 .  $8.4 million in cash paid on the closing date of the transaction;

 .  447,852 shares of Netopia's common stock issued on the closing date;

 .  A series of potential cash earnout payments aggregating up to approximately
   $5.9 million at various times after the closing date if certain technical and
   revenue milestones are achieved.

 .  The substitution of stock options to purchase Netopia's common stock in
   replacement of the Company's options held by the Company's former employees,
   who joined Netopia after the closing valued at approximately $1.4 million;
   and,

 .  Transaction costs of approximately $800,000 which include legal fees,
   accounting fees, fees paid for an independent fairness opinion, and fees for
   other related professional services.

     Approximately 30,673 shares of common stock will be held in escrow for a
period of time after the closing to satisfy the Company's indemnification
obligations under the definitive acquisition agreements.

     The issuance of shares in the merger was not registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance upon the Securities Act's
exemption from the registration requirements for nonpublic offerings, and resale
of the shares is restricted under the Securities Act.  Netopia has agreed to
file a registration statement on Form S-3 registering the resale of the shares.
Resale of the shares under the registration statement will be subject to certain
customary restrictions.

     All of the Company's former full time employees became employees of
Netopia.  Each of the Company's founders, and certain other key employees,
entered into non-competition agreements in connection with the acquisition.

a)  This amount represents the elimination of a $198,000 technology license we
    acquired from StarNet before the acquisition date of October 13, 1999.

b)  There will be a one time write-off for acquired-in-process research and
    development in the amount of approximately $5.7 million as determined by
    an independent third party analysis which will be recorded in the first
    quarter of fiscal 2000. We have not presented this item on the face of the
    pro forma statements of operations because it is significant and unusual
    in nature.

    The Company used the income approach to appraise the value of the business
    and projects acquired. Such method takes into consideration the stage of
    completion of the project and estimates related to expected future revenues,
    expenses and cash flows which are then discounted back to present day
    amounts. Based upon these estimates, material net cash flows from the
    acquired business are expected to occur during the calendar year 2000. These
    cash flows were discounted using a weighted average discount rate of 20%.
    Based upon the expenses incurred and the development time invested in the
    product prior to the acquisition and the estimated expenses and development
    time to complete the product, the Company determined the product to be
    approximately 72.5% complete at the time of acquisition.

    We believe we followed recent guidance disseminated by the SEC in the
    valuation of in-process research and development. However, in the event the
    SEC concludes that a different valuation is appropriate, we may have to re-
    state the charges to operations taken in connection with this transaction

c)  This amount represents the following:

 .  Amortization of $1.2 million of goodwill which we will begin amortizing in
   the first quarter of fiscal 2000 over a 4 year period.

 .  Amortization of $5.7 million of other intangible assets which we will begin
   amortizing in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 over a 3 year period.
