UNAUDITED PROFORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
On June 8, 2000, VeriSign, Inc. ("VeriSign") completed the acquisition of
Network Solutions, Inc. ("Network Solutions"), through the merger of a wholly-
owned subsidiary of VeriSign with and into Network Solutions, with Network
Solutions surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of VeriSign (the "Merger").
The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial information has
been prepared to give effect to the Merger, to be accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting. This financial information reflects certain
assumptions deemed probable by management regarding the Merger (e.g., the share
information used in the unaudited pro forma information approximates actual
share information at the effective date). The total estimated purchase cost of
the Merger has been allocated on a preliminary basis to assets and liabilities
based on management's best estimates of their fair value with the excess cost
over the net assets acquired allocated to goodwill. The adjustments to the
unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial information are subject to
change pending a final analysis of the total purchase cost and the fair value of
the assets and liabilities assumed. The impact of these changes could be
material.
The unaudited pro forma combined condensed balance sheet as of March 31, 2000
gives effect to the Merger as if it had occurred on March 31, 2000, and combines
the historical consolidated balance sheet of VeriSign and the historical
consolidated balance sheet of Network Solutions as of that date.
The unaudited pro forma combined condensed statement of operations for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 combines the historical consolidated statement
of operations of VeriSign for the three months ended March 31, 2000 with the
historical consolidated statement of operations of Network Solutions for the
three months ended March 31, 2000.
The unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial information is based on
estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions are preliminary and
have been made solely for purposes of developing this pro forma information.
Unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial information is presented for
illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the combined
financial position or results of operations of future periods or the results
that actually would have been realized had the entities been a single entity
during this period. This unaudited pro forma combined financial information is
based upon the respective historical consolidated financial statements of
VeriSign and Network Solutions and notes thereto, previously filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with those
statements and the related notes.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED
CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheet
The unaudited pro forma combined condensed balance sheet, gives effect to the
Merger as if it had occurred on March 31, 2000 with respect to the balance
sheets of VeriSign and Network Solutions.
On March 7, 2000 VeriSign announced it would acquire all the outstanding
capital stock of the Network Solutions in exchange for approximately 72,334,364
shares of VeriSign common stock. In addition, VeriSign assumed options to
purchase an equivalent total of approximately 8,064,487 shares of VeriSign
common stock in exchange for all issued and outstanding Network Solutions
options. The following adjustments have been reflected in the unaudited pro
forma combined condensed balance sheet:
(a) To record common stock and options issued to the shareholders of
Network Solutions, and the application of purchase accounting, excluding the
effect on deferred revenue (see b below), but including the write-off of
purchased in-process research and development (IPR&D).
The total purchase price of approximately $19.3 billion consists of
approximately 72.3 million shares of VeriSign's common stock with an estimated
fair value of $17.8 billion, vested and unvested stock options with an
estimated fair value of $1.4 billion, and estimated direct transaction costs
of approximately $50.0 million. The fair value of VeriSign's common stock was
determined as the average market price from March 3, 2000 to March 9, 2000,
which includes two trading days prior and two trading days subsequent to the
public announcement of the Merger. The fair value of the common stock options
was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
weighted-average assumptions:
. risk-free interest rate of 6.5 percent,
. expected life of 3.4 years,
. expected dividend rate of 0 percent, and
. volatility of 85 percent.
The amounts and components of the estimated purchase price is presented
below.
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

<S> <C>
Common stock..................................... $ 72
Fair value of Network Solutions options assumed.. 1,426,582
Additional paid-in capital....................... 17,801,024
Transaction costs................................ 50,000
-----------
Total purchase price............................. $19,277,678
===========
</TABLE>
Under purchase accounting, the total purchase price will be allocated to
Network Solutions' assets and liabilities based on their fair values.
Allocations are subject to valuations as of the date of the consummation of
the merger. The total purchase price is expected to be allocated to tangible
assets and liabilities, intangible assets, including goodwill, and IPR&D. The
goodwill and other intangible assets are expected to be amortized over three
to four years and the IPR&D will be written-off upon consummation of the
Merger.

VERISIGN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED
CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)
The fair value assigned to IPR&D was estimated by discounting, to present
value, the cash flows attributable to the technology once it has reached
technological feasibility. A discount rate consistent with the risks of the
project was used to estimate the present value of cash flows. The IPR&D
discount rate of 22 percent represents a premium over the calculated weighted
average cost of capital of 12 percent. The value assigned to IPR&D was the
amount attributable to the efforts of the seller up to the time of
acquisition. This amount was estimated through application of the "stage of
completion" calculation by multiplying the estimated present value of future
cash flows, excluding costs of completion, by the percentage of completion of
the purchased research and development project at the time of acquisition.
The preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the net assets acquired
is presented below.
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
(In thousands)
<S> <C>
Book value of net assets of Network Solutions.......................... $ 716,621

Intangible assets:

Deferred tax liability attributable to identifiable intangible assets.. (365,800)
-----------
Net assets acquired.................................................... $19,277,678
===========
</TABLE>
The actual allocation of the purchase price will depend upon the
composition of Network Solutions' net assets on the closing date and
VeriSign's evaluation of the fair value of the net assets as of the date
indicated. Consequently, the actual allocation of the purchase price could
differ from that presented above.
(b) To record a reduction in deferred revenue and related deferred tax
effect arising from the estimated calculation of VeriSign's obligation to
perform life cycle services around registry and registrar services equal to
the discounted expected costs to perform the services, plus a normal profit
margin.

Note 2. Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Statement of Operations
The unaudited pro forma combined condensed statement of operations gives
effect to the merger had it occurred at the beginning of the period presented.
The following adjustments have been reflected in the unaudited pro forma
combined condensed statement of operations:
(c) Adjustment to remove the amortization of historical goodwill and other
intangible assets previously recorded by Network Solutions in general and
administrative expenses and to record the amortization of goodwill and
intangible assets resulting from the allocation of the purchase price. The pro
forma adjustment assumes goodwill and other intangible assets will be
amortized on a straight-line basis over the following estimated lives:
Workforce in place......................... 4.0 years
Contracts with ICANN and customer list..... 3.4 years
Technology in place........................ 3.0 years
Network Solutions' trade name.............. 4.0 years
Goodwill................................... 4.0 years
The ultimate lives assigned will be determined at the date of acquisition
based on the facts and circumstances existing at that date.
(d) To reduce income tax expense for the effect of the pro forma
adjustments.
(e) To reflect the estimated shares and options to be issued as
consideration for the merger, and to reduce the number of shares used to
calculate the dilutive net loss per share as their effects were anti-dilutive.
