ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

On August 4, 1999, Extended Systems Incorporated (the "Company" or "ESI")
completed an acquisition (the "Acquisition") of all of the outstanding stock of
Oval (1415) Limited ("Oval") pursuant to an acquisition agreement, dated as of
August 4, 1999. Oval, based in Bristol, England, is the parent company of
Advance Systems Limited. ("ASL"), a developer of server-based synchronization
software for portable computing devices and high-end cellular phones and Zebedee
Software Limited, a software consulting company. As consideration in the
Acquisition, the shareholders of Oval received $5.0 million in cash and 625,000
of ESI Common Stock. The total purchase price is valued at approximately $8.5
million, including acquisition expenses. The source of the funds used for the
acquisition was the Company's existing cash and short-term investments. For
accounting purposes, the acquisition will be treated as a purchase.

The ESI Common Stock issued in the transaction has not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is therefore subject to certain
restrictions on resale.

A summary of the total net assets acquired at the date of the Acquisition, as
determined in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16,
"Business Combinations", is as follows

                    STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES

Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each
financial period which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the
company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing
those financial statements, the directors are required to:

     -   select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;

     -   make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

     -   prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it
         is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.

The directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which
disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the
company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with
the Companies Act 1985. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of
the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and
detection of fraud and other irregularities.




                                                        On behalf of the board

                                AUDITORS' REPORT


                       AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF
                             ADVANCE SYSTEMS LIMITED

We have audited the financial statements on pages F-6 to F-11 which have been
prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller
Entities, under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set
out on page F-8.

RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS AND AUDITORS
As described on page F-4, the company's directors are responsible for the
preparation of financial statements. It is our responsibility to form an
independent opinion, based on our audit, on those statements and to report
our opinion to you.

BASIS OF OPINION
We conducted our audit in accordance with Auditing Standards issued by the
Auditing Practices Board. An audit includes examination, on a test basis, of
evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. It
also includes an assessment of the significant estimates and judgements made by
the directors in the preparation of the financial statements, and of whether the
accounting policies are appropriate to the company's circumstances, consistently
applied and adequately disclosed.

We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and
explanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with
sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements
are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error or other
irregularity. In forming our opinion we also evaluated the overall adequacy of
the presentation of information in the financial statements.

OPINION
In our opinion the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state
of the company's affairs as at 30 June 1999 and of its profit for the period
then ended and have been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act
1985.

                                  30 JUNE 1999

1       ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
        The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost
        accounting rules.

        The company has taken advantage of the exemption from preparing a cash
        flow statement as conferred by Financial Reporting Standard No. 1
        (Revised 1996) on the grounds that it qualifies as a small company under
        the Companies Act 1985.

        TURNOVER
        Turnover represents the amount derived from the provision of goods and
        services falling within the company's activities after deduction of
        trade discounts and value added tax.

        DEPRECIATION
        Depreciation of fixed assets is calculated to write off their cost or
        valuation less any residual value over their estimated useful lives as
        follows:

            Plant and equipment                            33% reducing balance

2       TURNOVER

        In the opinion of the directors, 10% of the turnover of the company is
        attributable to geographical markets outside the UK. (1998 10%)

                    STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES


Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each
financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the
company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing
those financial statements, the directors are required to:

     -   select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;

     -   make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

     -   prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it
         is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.

The directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which
disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the
company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with
the Companies Act 1985. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of
the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and
detection of fraud and other irregularities.




                                                       On behalf of the board

                                AUDITORS' REPORT


                       AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF

                             ADVANCE SYSTEMS LIMITED

We have audited the financial statements on pages F-19 to F-24 which have been
prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller
Entities, under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set
out on page F-21.

RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS AND AUDITORS
As described on page F-17, the company's directors are responsible for the
preparation of financial statements. It is our responsibility to form an
independent opinion, based on our audit, on those statements and to report our
opinion to you.

BASIS OF OPINION
We conducted our audit in accordance with Auditing Standards issued by the
Auditing Practices Board. An audit includes examination, on a test basis, of
evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. It
also includes an assessment of the significant estimates and judgements made by
the directors in the preparation of the financial statements, and of whether the
accounting policies are appropriate to the company's circumstances, consistently
applied and adequately disclosed.

We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and
explanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with
sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements
are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error or other
irregularity. In forming our opinion we also evaluated the overall adequacy of
the presentation of information in the financial statements.

OPINION
In our opinion the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state
of the company's affairs as at 30 September 1998 and of its loss for the year
then ended and have been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act
1985.

1       ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
        The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost
        accounting rules.

        The company has taken advantage of the exemption from preparing a cash
        flow statement as conferred by Financial Reporting Standard No. 1
        (Revised 1996) on the grounds that it qualifies as a small company under
        the Companies Act 1985.

        TURNOVER
        Turnover represents the amount derived from the provision of goods and
        services falling within the company's activities after deduction of
        trade discounts and value added tax.

        DEPRECIATION
        Depreciation of fixed assets is calculated to write off their cost or
        valuation less any residual value over their estimated useful lives as
        follows:

            Plant and machinery                         33% reducing balance

                            EXTENDED SYSTEMS INCORPORATED
                   AND ADVANCE SYSTEMS LIMITED COMBINED COMPANY

                UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION


BASIS OF PRESENTATION

On August 4, 1999, Extended Systems Incorporated ("ESI") completed an
acquisition (the "Acquisition") of all of the outstanding stock of Oval
(1415) Limited ("Oval") pursuant to an Acquisition Agreement, dated as of
August 4, 1999. Oval, based in Bristol, England, is the parent company of
Advance Systems Limited ("ASL"), a developer of server-based synchronization
software for portable computing devices and high-end cellular phones, and
Zebedee Software Limited ("Zebedee"), a software consulting company.

In May of 1999, Oval was formed by the shareholders of ASL and Zebedee. Oval
subsequently purchased ASL and Zebedee in stock for stock exchanges. For
accounting purposes, all ASL was determined to be the acquiring company.
Substantially all of the net assets owned by, and operations of, the Oval
consolidated company are attributable to ASL. The following unaudited pro
forma combined financial information is based upon the consolidated financial
statements of ESI and the financial statements of ASL, combined with pro
forma adjustments to give effect to the Acquisition.

The following unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations was
prepared based upon the audited consolidated statement of operations of ESI
and the unaudited statement of operations of ASL for the year ended June 30,
1999 and gives effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred on July 1,
1998.

The following unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet was prepared based
upon the audited consolidated balance sheet of ESI and the unaudited balance
sheet of ASL as of June 30, 1999 and gives effect to the Acquisition as if it
had occurred on such date.

These unaudited pro forma combined financial statements and the notes thereto
should be read in conjunction with ESI's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended June 30, 1999 and the financial statements of ASL as of and for
the nine months ended June 30, 1999 and as of and for the year ended
September 30, 1998 (see Item 7(a)).

For accounting purposes, the acquisition was treated as a purchase.
Accordingly, ESI's cost to acquire Oval (the "Purchase Price") of
approximately $8.5 million, net of cash proceeds, was allocated to the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed according to their respective fair values,
with any excess Purchase Price being allocated to intangible assets. The
Purchase Price was based on the $5.5 million of cash paid, including
acquisition expenses, and 625,000 shares of ESI Common Stock valued at $3.0
issued to the shareholders of Oval on the date of the Acquisition.
Independent appraisers determined the valuation of the intangible assets
acquired from Oval, including $2,4 of acquired in-process research and
development, $1.9 million of developed technology and $3.9 million of an
established workforce and other goodwill-type assets. The acquired in-process
research and development will be charged to operations as of the date of the
Acquisition. The developed technology and other goodwill-type assets will be
amortized over the estimated useful live of 5 years using the straight-line
method.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are not necessarily
indicative of the results of operations or financial position of the combined
company that would have occurred had the Acquisition occurred at the
beginning of the period presented or on the date indicated, nor are they
necessarily indicative of future operating results or financial position.

The acquisition is expected to have a significant effect on the Company's
future results of operations and cash flows, including, but not limited to:
the acquired in process research and development charged to operations in the
first quarter of fiscal 2000; increased amortization expense as a result of
the intangible assets associated with the Acquisition; costs related to the
assimilation of the acquired operations; and increased capital spending
relating to the acquired facilities.
