NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Three and Nine months
Ended April 30, 1997 and 1996
(unaudited)
1. Access Beyond, Inc. ("Access Beyond") was incorporated on July 23, 1996,
and filed a Form S-1 Registration Statement with the Securities and
Exchange Commission which became effective October 17, 1996. On November
19, 1996 Penril DataComm Networks, Inc. ("Penril") distributed a dividend
to its stockholders of record one share of common stock of Access Beyond
for each share of Penril common stock held. And Penril transferred all of
the assets and liabilities of Penril's remote access business to Access
Beyond before becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Bay Networks, Inc. on
November 19, 1996. As the successor company to Penril, Access Beyond
retains the historical financial information of Penril until November 19,
1996, when Penril was merged into Bay Networks, Inc. For accounting
purposes, the disposition of the modem business, as a result of the
merger agreement with Bay Networks, Inc., has been accounted for as a
reduction of paid in capital.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, should be
read in conjunction with Form 10-K of Penril DataComm Networks, Inc and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries for the year ended July 31, 1996, and the
Form S-1 of Access Beyond which became effective October 17, 1996. The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all
adjustments which are in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
presentation of the Company's consolidated financial position as of April
30, 1997 and the results of operations for the three months and nine
months ended April 30, 1997 and April 30, 1996. The results of operations
for such periods, however, are not necessarily indicative of the results
to be expected for a full fiscal year.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period consolidated
financial statements to conform to the April 30, 1997 presentation.
The Company's policy is to maintain its uninvested cash at minimal
levels. Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid debt instruments
purchased with a maturity of three months or less.
2. On November 19, 1996 Penril DataComm Networks, Inc. transferred all of
its remote access business assets and liabilities to Access Beyond as
part of its spin-off of Access Beyond. Assets and liabilities related to
the modem business remained with Penril DataComm Networks, Inc. and
Penril became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bay Networks, Inc. as part of
the Merger Agreement with Bay. Revenues from the modems prior to the sale
of the modem business to Bay was $4.2 million in fiscal 1997. Under the
terms of the Merger Agreement with Bay, assets and liabilities related to
the modem business included the following at the date of the closing.
Dollar amounts are reported in thousands.

3. On October 10, 1996 Penril completed the sale of its wholly-owned
subsidiary Technipower, Inc., for $4.3 million of which $2.9 million was
paid. The remaining $1.4 million is payable, pursuant to the schedule of
payments, on or before July 1997. Technipower, Inc. had been previously
reported as a discontinued operation in the financial statements of
Penril. The proceeds from the sale of Technipower were transferred to
Access Beyond as part of the spin-off of Access Beyond and a charge of
$93,000 was taken for the loss on disposal of Technipower.
During fiscal 1996, the Board of Directors of Penril decided to sell
Electro-Metrics, Inc. ("EMI"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Penril. As a
result of the decision, EMI was reported as a discontinued operation in
fiscal 1996. In November 1996, EMI became a wholly owned subsidiary of
Access Beyond as part of the spin-off of Access Beyond.
The following table sets forth the selected financial data of EMI's
discontinued operations (in thousands):

Because the Company expects to retain the tax benefits associated with
the discontinued operation, no income tax benefit has been recorded for
any year.
The loss from operations for the first nine months of fiscal 1997 was
included in the loss on disposal of discontinued operations in fiscal
1996. An additional loss on disposal of $500,000 was recorded in the
first nine months of fiscal 1997 to reflect the adjustment to
estimated operating loss through the estimated disposal date.

4. In September, 1996 Penril settled a law suit with Standard Micro Systems
Corp. In October 1996 Penril received $3.5 million in cash after all
related expenses had been paid. The proceeds from this settlement were
transferred to Access Beyond as part of the spin-off transaction, and
reported as Other Income of Access Beyond for the nine months ended April
30, 1997.
5. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996, Penril recorded a restructuring
charge of $9.7 million for the write-down of costs in excess of net
assets acquired ($5.0 million), for the write-down of purchased
technology ($1.0 million), and for a provision for the write-down of
inventory ($2.2 million). This charge also included a provision for
employee severance ($400,000) and obligations for leased facilities ($1.0
million). As of April 30, 1997 a provision remained for the write-down of
inventory ($1.8 million) and for obligations for leased facilities
($574,000).
6. As a result of the merger with Bay Networks, Inc., all of the outstanding
employee and non-employee stock options of Penril became fully vested and
were exercised in fiscal 1997 generating $6.1 million in cash. All of the
cash proceeds generated from the exercise of stock options which remained
as of November 18, 1996 was transferred to Access Beyond as part of the
spin-off transaction.
On March 6, 1997, the stockholders of Access Beyond voted in favor of
adopting the Amended as Restated 1996 Long-Term Incentive Plan and the
Amended as Restated 1996 Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan. The
Amended as Restated 1996 Long-Term Incentive Plan reserves 2,000,000
shares of Access Beyond common stock for issuance under the plan. The
Amended as Restated 1996 Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan
reserves 250,000 shares of Access Beyond common stock for issuance under
the plan.
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Access Beyond
granted 1,080,000 options to officers and key employees of Access Beyond
at an exercise price of $6.625 and an additional 75,000 options at an
exercise price of $6.75, which was the fair market value of shares of
Common Stock on the dates of grant. All such options vest at the rate of
30% after one year, 60% after two years and 100% after three years,
subject to acceleration in certain circumstances.
In accordance with the provisions of the 1996 Non-Employee Directors'
Stock Option Plan, each non-employee director was granted 25,000 options
on November 18, 1996 at the exercise price of $7.7375, which was the fair
market value of shares of Common Stock on the date of grant. All such
options vest at the rate of 30% after one year, 60% after two years and
100% after three years, subject to acceleration in certain circumstances.
7. On November 19, 1996, pursuant to the merger agreement, the line of
credit which Penril had with its principal bank was assumed by Bay
Networks, Inc. As of April 30, 1997, Access Beyond had no outstanding
line of credit with its principal bank.
8. In March 1997, Access Beyond entered into an agreement with Hibbing
Electronics Corporation in which Hibbing will manufacture and sell
printed circuit card products to Access Beyond. Under the agreement,
Hibbing has the right to use the lower level of Access Beyond's 1300
Quince Orchard Blvd, Gaithersburg, Maryland, facility as well as certain
equipment needed for the manufacturing process. Hibbing will pay Access
Beyond 50% of the monthly rent, and utilities associated with that
facility, and will pay the current installment amounts on the equipment
that Access Beyond leases. This agreement expires August 31, 1998 at
which time Hibbing shall have the option to purchase all of the
equipment covered under the agreement and Access Beyond will assign all
right, title and interest in the covered leases and equipment to Hibbing
in exchange for Hibbing's agreement to pay and perform Access Beyond's
obligations under those leases.
On May 2, 1997, Access Beyond issued 503,704 shares of its
unregistered common stock to Paradyne Corporation in connection with
the purchase of Paradyne's Windows NT Remote Access Server technology
("Hawk"). The stock purchase agreement requires the Company to file a
registration statement with the SEC soon as reasonably practicable and
to use its best efforts to secure effectiveness on or before
November 2, 1997. In addition, the Company purchased $400,000 of Hawk
inventory from Paradyne.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As a result of the merger agreement between Penril and Bay Networks, Inc.
("Bay"), certain assets and liabilities related to the modem business were
transferred to Bay. The assets included $2.7 million in accounts receivables,
$2.9 million in inventory, $1.7 million in deferred tax assets, and $762,000 in
other assets. The liabilities included the $4 million line of credit, $1.4
million in accounts payables, and $771,000 in other liabilities.
On November 19, 1996, Penril completed the spin-off of Access Beyond and
merger with Bay. Prior to the spin-off, Penril received approximately $6.1
million in cash from the exercise of Penril's stock options, approximately $3.5
million in cash from the settlement of the law suit with Standard Micro Systems
Corp., and cash received from the closing of the contract to sell Technipower,
Inc. The cash generated from these non-operating sources was used by Penril for
the expenditures related to the spin-off of Access Beyond and merger with Bay.
These expenditures included legal and accounting fees of approximately $700,000,
investment banker fees of approximately $1.6 million and change of control
payments due to certain officers of Penril of $1.8 million. As part of the
Merger Agreement with Bay, all cash as well as the right to receive an
additional cash from the sale of Technipower was transferred to Access Beyond.
In addition, Access Beyond received $1.5 million in cash pursuant to the
Transitional Services Agreement with Penril.
In fiscal 1996, Penril recorded a restructuring charge of $9.7 million.
The reserves remaining at the time of the spin-off were transferred to Access
Beyond. At April 30, 1997 the Company had reserves of $1.8 million for inventory
and $574,000 for unused leased facilities. The reserve for unused leased
facilities is expected to be liquidated over the remaining life of the lease
with $83,000 due in fiscal 1997, $137,000 due in fiscal 1998 and $354,000 due
after fiscal 1998. Severance payments of approximately $297,000 were paid during
the first half of fiscal 1997. As of April 30, 1997, no additional severance
payments related to the restructuring were due.
Contributing to the cash flow during the first nine months of fiscal
1997, was a reduction in accounts receivables of $226,000 (after adjusting for
the transfer of accounts receivables to Bay). This reduction was primarily due
to lower sales volumes from the modems prior to the transfer of the modem
business to Bay.
Inventory increased $572,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 1997
(after adjusting for the transfer of inventory to Bay). In February 1997, Access
Beyond completed its agreement with Hibbing Electronics, Inc. in which Hibbing
began, as of March 1, 1997, operating at Access Beyond's facility and assumed
all expenses for the board level manufacturing operation, including all
facilities and personnel costs.
Accounts payable at April 30, 1997 increased $354,000 compared (after
adjusting for the transfer of accounts payable to Bay) to the amount reported
at the end of the prior fiscal year.
In March 1997, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell
Electro-Metrics, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary which was classified as a
discontinued operation by Penril in fiscal 1996) for $4 million. The Company
expects this transaction to close before the end of fiscal year 1997 with
payment of $2 million in cash and the balance due, pursuant to the terms of the
contract.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
As a result of the Merger Agreement with Bay and the spin-off of Access
Beyond, the financial statements of Access Beyond include revenue and expenses
of Penril for the period from August 1, 1996 through November 19, 1996.
REVENUES
For the first nine months of fiscal 1997, the Company had revenue of
$15.2 million compared to $26.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal
1996. Revenue for the quarter ended April 30, 1997 was $3.7 million compared to
$9.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1996. The decline in revenue was the
primarily due to the sale of the modem business to Bay Networks which closed in
second quarter of fiscal 1997. Revenue from modem license fees also declined
from $1.6 million in fiscal 1996 to $500,000 in fiscal 1997.
GROSS PROFIT MARGINS
Gross profit margins for the first nine months of fiscal 1997 were 35%
compared to 41% for the first nine months of fiscal 1996. Gross profit margins
for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 were 48% compared to 37% for the third
quarter of fiscal 1996. Gross margins improved significantly after March 1, 1997
as a result of the outsourcing of board level manufacturing to Hibbing
Electronics, Inc.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
For the first nine months of fiscal 1997, selling, general and
administrative expenses were $10.1 million compared to $13.1 million for the
first nine months of fiscal 1996. Expenses for the quarter ended April 30, 1997
were $2.7 million compared to $4.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 1996.
The reduction of expenses was primarily the result of the restructuring of
Penril in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996, and the sale of the modem business
to Bay Networks. The Company is investing significantly in sales and marketing
for the launch of its new products.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES
For the first nine months of fiscal 1997 product development expenses
were $4.7 million compared to $5.3 million for the same period in the prior
fiscal year. During the third quarter of fiscal 1997 product development
expenses decreased from $1.8 million for the third quarter of fiscal 1996 to
$1.2 million. This decrease in the third quarter was primarily the result of
the sale of the modem business to Bay Networks and the corresponding transfer
of modem engineers to Bay Networks early in the third quarter of fiscal 1997.
MERGER RELATED EXPENSES
As a result of the spin-off of Access Beyond the merger of Penril into
Bay Networks, Inc., the Company paid legal and accounting fees of approximately
$700,000, investment banker fees of $1.6 million and change of control payments
due to certain officers of Penril of $1.8 million.
INTEREST INCOME (EXPENSE)
Interest income for the first nine months of fiscal 1997 was $143,000
compared with interest expense of $572,000 in the same period of fiscal 1996.
Interest income for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 was $71,000 compared to
interest expense of $96,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 1996. Excess cash
was invested in highly liquid financial instruments with a maturity of three
months or less, resulting in interest income during the first nine months of
fiscal 1997.
OTHER INCOME
9
<PAGE> 10
In September, 1996 Penril settled a law suit with Standard Micro Systems
Corp. In October 1996 Penril received $3.5 million in cash after all related
expenses had been paid. The proceeds from this settlement were transferred to
Access Beyond as part of the spin-off transaction, and reported as Other Income
of Access Beyond for the nine months ended April 30, 1997. On November 19, 1997,
pursuant to the merger with Bay Networks, Inc., the Company signed a
transitional services agreement. The Company recognized $100,000 as Other income
in the third quarter of fiscal 1997.
NEW DEVELOPMENTS
In May, 1997 the Company issued approximately 500,000 shares of its
common stock in connection with the purchase of Windows NT Remote Access Server
technology from Paradyne Corporation.
