              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (unaudited)


1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine month
periods ended September 29, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2000.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of WJ
Communications, Inc. (the "Company") for the fiscal year ended December 31,
1999, which are included in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 16, 2000.

The balance sheet at December 31, 1999 has been derived from the audited
financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principals for complete
financial statements.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include those of the Company and
its subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany balances and transactions.
The Company disposed of its Government Electronics segment in October 1997,
Semiconductor Equipment segment in July 1999, and Telecommunications segment in
January 2000. The consolidated financial statements reflect such dispositions
and results of operations of these businesses as discontinued operations.

On August 18, 2000, the Company sold 6.21 million shares of common stock in an
initial public offering ("IPO") for $16 per share. The initial public offering
resulted in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $88.4 million after the
payment of the underwriters' commission and deduction of offering expenses.
Simultaneous with the closing of the initial public offering, the Company's
outstanding shares of preferred stock were automatically converted into
1,498,800 shares of common stock. The Company recorded a $10 million preferred
stock dividend related to the assumed beneficial conversion of the Company's
preferred shares and their conversion into common shares. See also note 6.

In August 2000, the Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the IPO
to repay the outstanding balances of notes payable of approximately $40.0
million. In conjunction with this debt repayment, the Company recorded an
extraordinary item of $3.3 million (or $2.1 million after tax) related to the
write-off of the remaining unamortized debt financing costs. The remainder of
the proceeds have been invested in securities with maturities of 3 months or
less and are included in cash and equivalents as of September 29, 2000.

Markets Corp., among others. This Facility is comprised of a $15.0 million
five-year revolver, a $25.0 million five-year term A loan, and a $15.0 million
six-year term B loan. The Company borrowed $25.0 million under the term A loan
and $15.0 million under the term B loan as part of the recapitalization merger.
The outstanding debt under the Facility was repaid by the Company with a portion
of the proceeds from the IPO.

-    The Company incurred approximately $3.6 million in financing costs in

3.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash Equivalents and Investments--Cash and equivalents consist of municipal bond
funds and commercial paper acquired with remaining maturity periods of 90 days
or less and are stated at cost plus accrued interest which approximates market
value. Investments at December 31, 1999 consisted of high-grade debt securities
(AA rating or better) with maturity greater than 90 days from the date of
acquisition and are classified as "available-for-sale." Investments classified
as available-for-sale are reported at fair market value with unrealized gains or
losses excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of
stockholders' equity, net of tax, until realized.

Inventories--Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, using first-in,
first-out and average-cost basis, or market. Cost of inventory items is based on
purchase and production cost. Inventories at September 29, 2000 and December 31,
1999 consisted of the following (in thousands):

Revenue Recognition--Revenues from product sales are recognized when all of the
following conditions are met: the product has been shipped, the Company has the
right to invoice the customer at a fixed price, the collection of the receivable
is probable and there are no significant obligations remaining. Generally, title
passes upon shipment of the Company's products. Beginning in March 2000, our
contract with a significant customer converted to a consignment arrangement
under which title does not pass until this significant customer utilizes our
products in its production processes. As a consequence, we recognize revenue on
this contract only when this customer notifies us of product consumption. Any
anticipated losses on contracts are charged to earnings when identified. The
Company provides a warranty on standard products and components and products
developed for specific customers or program applications. The Company estimates
the cost of warranty based on its historical field return rates. To date, the
Company has had no significant warranty returns.

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements. SAB 101 provides
guidance on applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue
recognition in financial statements. The Company has adopted SAB 101 and the
adoption had no material effect on the accompanying financial statements.


Fiscal Year - The Company's fiscal year ends on December 31st of each year.
The three months ended September 24, 1999 and September 29, 2000 included 13
weeks. The nine months ended September 24, 1999 and September 29, 2000
included 39 weeks.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements--In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." In June 1999,
the FASB issued SFAS 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of SFAS 133." These Statements
require companies to record derivatives on the balance sheet as assets or
liabilities, measured at fair value. Gains and losses resulting from changes in
the fair market values of those derivative instruments would be accounted for
depending on the use of the instrument and whether it qualifies for hedge
accounting. SFAS 133 will be effective for the company's year ending December
31, 2001. Management is in the process of evaluating any impact on the company's
financial condition or results of operations resulting from these Statements. As
of September 29, 2000 we have no foreign exchange contracts outstanding.

3.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

In March 2000, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Board
Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock
Compensation--an interpretation of APB No. 25. Interpretation No. 44 was
effective July 1, 2000. The Interpretation clarifies the application of Opinion
25 for various issues, specifically the definition of an employee; the criteria
for determining whether a plan qualifies as a non-compensatory plan; the
accounting consequence of various modifications to the terms of a previously
fixed stock option or award; and the accounting for an exchange of stock

4.   LEASES AND REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS

In October, 2000 the Company moved its operations from Palo Alto, California to
San Jose, California. The net capital lease obligation associated with the Palo
Alto facility of $2.7 million is included in accrued expenses as of September
29, 2000 due to the intent to sell the facility within the next twelve months.

The new facility will consist of two buildings: a current structure of
approximately 82,000 feet and a smaller (approximately 42,000 square foot)
building which is being constructed at the landlord's expense. Occupancy of the
smaller building is expected to begin no later than the end of the second
quarter of 2001. Both buildings are leased for ten years from the beginning of
occupancy. The larger building has a beginning base monthly rent of $158,340 for
the first twelve months, which increases by 4% over each succeeding twelve month
period. The smaller building will have a beginning base monthly rent of $94,500
for the first twelve months which will also increase by 4% over each succeeding
twelve month period. Rental payments on the second building are expected to
begin during the Company's first quarter of 2001.


5.   ASSUMED BENEFICAL CONVERSION OF PREFERRED STOCK

In July, 2000, the Company sold 1,498,800 shares of its Series A Preferred
Stock to one strategic investor and one financial investor. Net proceeds from
the sales totaled approximately $11.2 million. Under the terms of the Series
A Preferred Stock, the shares converted into common stock of the Company
simultaneous with the Company's IPO in August, 2000. In connection with this
conversion, the Company recorded a $10 million noncash preferred stock
dividend based on an assumed beneficial conversion during the three month
period ended September 29, 2000.

7.   DEFERRED STOCK COMPENSATION

In conjunction with the issuance of certain stock options in 2000, 14,522,544
options were granted at an average exercise price of $1.37 per share which
was equal to the weighted average fair value of $1.37 per share at the date
of grant. This fair value was determined by using the same fair value used in
the recapitalization merger transaction which was completed in January, 2000.
Additionally, the Company granted 791,000 options where the weighted average
exercise price of $5.31 per share was less than the deemed weighted average
fair value of $10.08 per share subsequent to the Company's initial public
offering. In addition, the Company sold 81,000 shares of common stock where
the weighted average sales price of $3.82 per common share was less than the
deemed weighted average fair value of $9.51 per share. The Company has
recorded deferred stock compensation in the aggregate amount of $4,236,000
representing the differential between the deemed fair value of the Company's
common stock and the exercise price at the date of grant for options or date
of sale for stock purchases. The Company is amortizing this amount over the
vesting period of the stock purchased and the options granted. The Company
recorded $0.8 million of deferred stock compensation expense for the nine
months ended September 29, 2000 in the accompanying financial statements.


8.   DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On January 14, 2000, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of the
Telecommunications segment's assets to a unit of Marconi North America, Inc., a
subsidiary of the General Electric Company p.l.c. of the United Kingdom. Net
proceeds from the sale of about $57.0 million and an estimated pre-tax gain of
more than $40.0 million are included in the Company's financial results in the
first quarter of 2000.

The net assets of discontinued operations, current, was $20.2 million as of
December 31, 1999. All significant amounts related to discontinued operations
have been settled as of September 29, 2000.

Current Operations and Business Outlook


Third Quarter 2000 Compared to Third Quarter 1999

Sales - Sales increased 112% to $35.0 million in the third quarter of 2000 from
$16.5 million in the third quarter of 1999. This increase is attributable to
increased shipments of products related to all three of our broadband
infrastructure product categories, particularly fiber optic products which
increased by 311% to $15.6 million in the third quarter of 2000. The increase in
our fiber optics sales was related to strong demand for OC-192 oscillators,
which we sell to a significant customer. Fiber optic sales represented 45% of
total sales for the quarter. Wireless product sales during the third quarter of
2000 totaled $13.5 million, representing 38% of total sales for the quarter and
an increase of 60% over the third quarter of 1999. Semiconductor sales during
the third quarter totaled $5.9 million, representing 17% of total sales for the
quarter and an increase of 37% over the third quarter of 1999.

Gross profit - Our gross profit increased 91% to $13.0 million in the third
quarter of 2000 from $6.8 million in the third quarter of 1999. This increase
was related to the increase in sales described above. As a percentage of sales,
our gross profit margin declined to 37.3% in the third quarter of 2000 from
41.4% in the third quarter of 1999. This decline in our gross profit margin was
a result of several new products being transitioned from development to
manufacturing as well as higher facility costs associated with our new facility
in San Jose. In general, we achieve lower gross profit margins on products that
have recently been transitioned into manufacturing and which are in low rate
production as compared to products in higher rate production, that we have more
manufacturing experience producing and which absorbs greater amounts of
overhead.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

         Research and development - Research and development expenses
         increased $0.4 million to $4.8 million in the third quarter of 2000
         from $4.4 million in the third quarter of 1999. The increase in
         research and development expenses relates to an increase in the
         Company's engineering staff. As a percentage of sales, research and
         development expenses declined to 13.8% of sales in the third quarter
         of 2000 from 26.4% of sales in the third quarter of 1999. The
         decrease in research and development expenses as a percentage of
         sales primarily relates to the increase in sales described above.

         Selling and administrative - Selling and administrative expenses in
         the third quarter of 2000 increased $3.6 million to $4.8 million
         from $1.2 million in 1999. The increase in selling and
         administrative expense is primarily related to higher levels of
         selling related expenses, corporate support expenses, bad debt
         provisions and recruiting expenses in the third quarter of 2000. As
         a percentage of sales, selling and administrative expenses increased
         to 13.7% of sales in the third quarter of 2000 from 7.1% in the
         third quarter of 1999.

         Amortization of deferred stock compensation - Prior to the Company's
         initial public offering, certain common stock options were granted to
         employees at prices which were deemed to be below fair market value. As
         a result, the Company recorded deferred stock compensation which is
         being amortized over the vesting period of the related stock options.
         During the third quarter of 2000, the Company recorded amortization of
         deferred stock compensation of $0.3 million.

         Corporate administrative expenses - During the third quarter of 2000,
         corporate administrative expenses totaled $0 versus $1.2 million in
         the third quarter of 1999. After January 31, 2000, the date of our
         recapitalization merger, corporate administrative expenses were
         included with selling and administration expenses.

         Recapitalization merger and other - Recapitalization merger and other
         totaled $0 during the third quarter of 2000 as compared to $1.6 million
         in the third quarter of 1999. Recapitalization merger and other
         expenses during the third quarter of 1999 related to expenses incurred
         in connection with the sale of our telecommunications group.

         Interest Income - Interest income decreased $0.4 million to $0.7
         million in the third quarter of 2000 compared to $1.1 million in the
         third quarter of 1999. The decrease was primarily due to less funds
         available for investment in the third quarter of 2000 due to the
         recapitalization merger which closed on January 31,2000.

         Interest expense - Interest expense increased $0.7 million to $0.8
         million in the third quarter of 2000 from $0.1 million in the third
         quarter of 1999. The increase in interest expense primarily relates to
         the debt the Company incurred in connection with the recapitalization
         merger, which closed on January 31, 2000. The Company repaid this debt
         with a portion of the net proceeds from its initial public offering.

         Other income (expense)- net - Other income (expense)- net decreased
         $0.4 million to other expense of $0.2 million in the third quarter of
         2000 from other income of $0.2 million in the third quarter of 1999.
         During the third quarter of 2000, other (expense) primarily relates to
         expenses in excess of sublease payments on certain real estate the
         Company subleased to an independent company. In the third quarter of
         1999, other income primarily related to net rental income from the
         aforementioned property.

         Gain on disposition of real property - In the third quarter of 1999, we
         completed the sale of a San Jose, California facility for net proceeds
         of approximately $16.9 million which resulted in a pretax gain of $9.7
         million.

         Income tax provision - Our effective tax rate for continuing operations
         was 33.1% in the third quarter of 2000 as compared to 31.9% in the
         third quarter of 1999.

         Extraordinary item, net of taxes - During the third quarter of 2000, we
         repaid all of the outstanding borrowings under our credit facility and
         wrote-off, as an extraordinary item, the remaining unamortized deferred
         financing cost of $3.3 million before income taxes of $1.25 million.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

         Assumed preferred stock dividend - beneficial conversion - Under the
         terms of our preferred stock, it converted into 1,498,800 shares of
         common stock at the time of our initial public offering. In connection
         with this conversion, we recorded an assumed preferred stock dividend
         of $10.0 million based on an assumed beneficial conversion.

         YEAR-TO-DATE 2000 COMPARED TO YEAR-TO-DATE 1999

         Sales - Sales increased 25% to $79.6 million during the first nine
         months of 2000 from $63.7 million in the first nine months of 1999. The
         increase is primarily related to a 217% increase in the sales of fiber
         optic products, particularly OC-192 oscillators shipped to one of our
         largest customers. For the first nine months of 2000, fiber optic sales
         totaled $34.0 million and comprised 43% of total sales. Also during the
         first nine months of 2000, sales of semiconductor products rose 39% to
         $16.0 million from $11.5 million in the first nine months of 1999,
         primarily due to higher shipments of our highly linear amplifier
         products. In comparison with the first nine months of 1999, wireless
         product sales declined by 29% to $29.6 million during the first nine
         months of 2000. In the first nine months of 1999, the Company completed
         a fixed wireless project for a major customer in an emerging country.
         Sales for this project totaled $22.3 million or 35% of total sales for
         the first nine months of 1999.

         Gross Profit - Our gross profit increased 24.5% to $30.2 million in the
         first nine months of 2000 from $24.2 million in the first nine months
         of 1999. The increase in gross profit dollars generated was related to
         the increase in sales. As a percentage of sales, our gross profit
         margin stayed relatively constant at 37.9% of sales in the first nine
         months of 2000 as compared to 38.0% during the first nine months of
         1999. Throughout the first nine months of 2000, economies of scale
         achieved by higher volumes of manufacturing have been offset by higher
         costs primarily associated with new products being transitioned from
         development to production. The Company has also experienced higher
         facilities costs during the first nine months of 2000 associated with
         the relocation of the Palo Alto manufacturing facility to San Jose.

         Research and development - Research and development expenses
         increased 4% to $13.6 million in the first nine months of 2000 from
         $13.0 million in the first nine months of 1999. The increase in
         research and development expenses relates to an increase in the
         Company's research and development staff, which resulted in higher
         levels of salaries and benefit cost. As a percentage of sales,
         research and development expenses declined to 17.1% of sales in the
         first nine months of 2000 from 20.4% of sales in the first nine
         months of 1999. The decline as a percentage of sales relate to the
         Company's increased sales.

         Selling and administrative - Selling and administrative expenses
         increased to $10.7 million in the first nine months of 2000 from
         $3.7 million in the first nine months of 1999. The increase in
         selling and administrative primarily related to higher levels of
         selling related expenses, corporate support expenses, bad debt
         provisions and recruiting expenses in the first nine months of 2000.
         As a percentage of sales, selling and administrative expenses
         increased to 13.5% of sales in the first nine months of 2000 from
         5.8% in the first nine months of 1999.

         Amortization of deferred stock compensation - Prior to the Company's
         initial public offering, certain common stock options were granted to
         employees at prices which were deemed to be below fair market value. As
         a result, the Company recorded deferred stock compensation which is
         being amortized over the vesting period of the related stock options.
         During the first nine months of 2000, the Company recorded amortization
         of deferred stock compensation of $0.8 million.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

         Corporate administrative expenses - After January 31, 2000, the Company
         began including corporate administrative expenses in selling and
         administrative expenses. For the first nine months of 2000, corporate
         administrative expenses totaled $0.3 million versus $3.0 million in the
         first nine months of 1999.

         Recapitalization merger and other - Recapitalization merger and other
         totaled $35.5 million during the first nine months of 2000 as compared
         to $1.6 million during the first nine months of 1999. The
         recapitalization merger and other expenses we incurred in the first
         nine months of 1999 related to the sale of our telecommunications
         group. The recapitalization merger expenses we incurred in the first
         nine months of 2000 related to our recapitalization merger and
         included: $16.8 million of compensation expenses related to payments to
         former option holders; $9.8 million of compensation expenses related to
         bonus, retention, and severance amounts for certain employees; $4.7
         million of legal, consulting and accounting fees; and $4.2 million of
         financial services and other expenses related to the recapitalization
         merger transaction.

         Interest income - Interest income decreased $0.6 million to $2.1
         million in the first nine months of 2000 from $2.7 million in the first
         nine months of 1999. The decrease primarily related to less average
         funds being available for investment in the first nine months of 2000
         as compared to the first nine months of 1999.

         Interest expense - Interest expense increased $2.7 million to $3.1
         million in the first nine months of 2000 from $0.4 million in the first
         nine months of 1999. The increase primarily related to interest
         incurred on debt we incurred as part of our recapitalization merger.

         Other income (expense)- net - Other income (expense) -net decreased
         $1.2 million to other expense of $0.9 million in the first nine months
         of 2000 from other income of $0.3 million in the first nine months of
         1999. During the third quarter of 2000, other (expense) primarily
         relates to expenses in excess of sublease payments on certain real
         estate the Company subleased to an independent company. In the first
         nine months of 1999, other income primarily related to net rental
         income from the aforementioned property.

         Gain on disposition of real property - During the first nine months of
         2000 we realized a gain of $0.8 million related to reimbursement of
         property development costs associated with a San Jose facility which
         was sold in 1999. In the first nine months of 1999, we completed the
         sale of a San Jose, California facility for net proceeds of
         approximately $16.9 million, which resulted in a pretax gain of $9.7
         million.

         Income tax provision (benefit) - Our effective tax rate for continuing
         operations for the first nine months of 1999 was a provision of 32.1%.
         In the first nine months of 2000 we had an effective tax benefit rate
         for continuing operations of (26.4%) due to certain nondeductible
         items.

         Extraordinary item, net of taxes - During the first nine months of
         2000, we repaid all the outstanding borrowing under our credit facility
         and wrote-off, as an extraordinary item, the remaining unamortized
         deferred financing cost of $3.3 million before income taxes of $1.25
         million.

         Assumed preferred stock dividend - beneficial conversion - Under the
         terms of our preferred stock, it converted into 1,498,800 shares of
         common stock at the time of our initial public offering. In connection
         with this conversion, we recorded an assumed preferred stock dividend
         of $10.0 million based on an assumed beneficial conversion.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

         Liquidity and Capital Resources

         On September 29, 2000, cash and equivalents and short-term
         investments totaled $73.1 million, a decrease of $100.7 million from
         the year-end balance of $173.8 million. The net decrease was
         primarily attributable to cash used in connection with our
         recapitalization merger on January 31, 2000. During the third
         quarter, the Company realized approximately $11.2 million of net
         proceeds from the sales of our Series A Preferred Stock and
         approximately $88.4 million of net proceeds from the sale of our
         common stock in the Company's IPO on August 18, 2000. In addition,
         during the first nine months of 2000, the Company realized
         approximately $62.3 million of net proceeds from the disposition of
         discontinued operations, and approximately $60.7 million of net
         proceeds from the sale of common stock during the recapitalization
         merger.

         Net Cash Provided (Used) by Continuing Operating Activities - Net
         cash provided (used) by continuing operations was $3.6 million and
         $8.3 million in the first nine months of 2000 and 1999 respectively.
         Net income (loss) for the first nine months of 2000 and 1999 was
         comprised of a loss of ($23.4) million and income of $10.3 million
         from continuing operations and income of $30.9 million and $13.0
         million from discontinued operations, respectively. Significant
         items impacting the difference between income (loss) from continuing
         operations and cash flows from continuing operations in the first
         nine months of 2000 were $13.9 million used in working capital,
         $35.5 million of recapitalization and merger cost and a $2.1 million
         extraordinary item related to the write-off of unamortized deferred
         financing cost. The $13.9 million used in working capital relates to
         a $9.4 million increase in receivables, a $9.0 million increase in
         inventories and a $2.4 million decrease in accruals and payables
         partially offset by a $6.9 million decrease in other assets.
         Significant items impacting the difference between net income from
         continuing operations and cash flows from continuing operations for
         the first nine months of 1999 were $5.3 million provided by working
         capital and $9.7 million related to a gain on the disposition of
         property plant and equipment. The $5.3 million provided by working
         capital primarily relates to a $15.3 million decrease in other
         assets and a $1.9 million decrease in receivables partially offset
         by a $11.8 million decrease in accruals and payables. The $9.7
         million gain on disposal of property plant and equipment relates to
         the Company's sale of an unused facility located in San Jose.

         Net Cash Provided (Used) by Investing Activities - Net cash provided by
         investing activities was $96.5 million and $32.8 million in the first
         nine months of 2000 and 1999, respectively. The primary items providing
         cash from investing activities in the first nine months of 2000 were
         the sale of short-term investments totaling $43.1 million and the sale
         of discontinued operations totaling $62.3 million partially offset by
         $9.0 million in capital expenditures. The primary items providing cash
         from investing activities during the first nine months of 1999 were the
         sales of real property totaling $16.9 million, the sale of discontinued
         operations totaling $19.9 million and the sale of short-term
         investments totaling $24.9 million partially offset by purchases of
         short-term investments totaling $24.9 million and capital expenditures
         totaling $4.1 million.

         Net Cash Used in Financing Activities - Net cash used in financing
         activities increased $143.3 million in the first nine months of 2000
         to $145.5 million from $2.2 million in the first nine months of
         1999. During the first nine months of 2000, the Company used cash in
         financing activities to repurchase $270.2 million of its common
         stock in connection with our recapitalization merger, pay
         recapitalization merger expenses of $35.5 million and to pay
         long-term debt of $40.1 million. These items were partially offset
         by the proceeds from the sale of common and preferred stock totaling
         $160.3 million and borrowings under our credit facility totaling
         $40.0 million. The proceeds from the issuance of common and
         preferred stock included a $60.7 million investment in common stock
         which occurred in connection with our recapitalization merger, the
         sale of preferred stock, which subsequently converted into common
         stock, for net proceeds of $11.2 million and the sale of common
         stock in our initial public offering for net proceeds of
         approximately $88.4 million.

         The Company believes its cash and equivalents on hand will be
         sufficient to fund current operations for the next twelve months.

ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

         The following discussion about the Company's market risk disclosures
         involves forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ
         materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. The
         Company is exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates.
         The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for
         speculative or trading purposes.

         Cash Equivalents and Investments--Cash equivalents consist of municipal
         bond funds and commercial paper acquired with remaining maturity
         periods of 90 days or less and are stated at cost plus accrued interest
         which approximates market value. Investments at December 31, 1999
         consisted of high-grade debt securities (AA rating or better) with
         maturity greater than 90 days from the date of acquisition and are
         classified as "available-for-sale." Investments classified as
         available-for-sale are reported at fair market value with unrealized
         gains or losses excluded from earnings and reported as a separate
         component of stockholders' equity, net of tax, until realized.

         The following table provides information about the company's investment
         portfolio and constitutes a "forward-looking statement." For investment
         securities, the table presents principal cash flows and related
         weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates.

ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

         The Company completed its initial public offering ("IPO") on August
         18, 2000, pursuant to a Registration Statement Form S-1 (File No.
         333-38518), which was declared effective by the Securities and
         Exchange Commission on August 17, 2000. In the IPO we sold an
         aggregate of 6,210,000 shares of common stock, par value of $0.01
         per share. The sale of the shares of common stock generated
         aggregate proceeds of $99.4 million. The aggregate net proceeds were
         approximately $88.4 million after deducting underwriters discounts
         and commissions of approximately $7.0 million and directly paid
         expenses of the offering of $4.0 million. Chase H&Q, CIBC World
         Markets and Thomas Weisel Partners LLC were the lead underwriters
         for the IPO.

         The Company used approximately $40.0 million of the net proceeds to
         repay outstanding debt amounts. The remainder of the net proceeds
         will be used for several corporate purposes including working
         capital and capital expenditures, pending such uses, the net
         proceeds are invested in short-term liquid investments.

         In July, 2000, the Company sold 1,498,800 shares of its Series A
         preferred stock to one strategic and one financial investor for gross
         proceeds of $12.5 million. The net proceeds of $11.2 million were
         remaining after $1.3 million of expenses relating to the sale,
         primarily commissions related to the sale. These shares of preferred
         stock were converted to an equivalent number of shares of common
         stock concurrently with the completion of the IPO on August 18, 2000.
