                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To VST Technologies, Inc.:

     We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of VST Technologies, Inc.
(a Delaware corporation) as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 and the related
statements of operations, redeemable convertible preferred stock and
stockholders' deficit and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1999. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of VST Technologies, Inc. as
of December 31, 1999 and 1998 and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999 in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               DECEMBER 31, 1999

(1) OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     VST Technologies, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in Delaware to
develop, manufacture, distribute, market, sell and service peripheral computer
products for portable and desktop personal computers.

     The Company is subject to the risks associated with emerging,
technology-oriented companies. Primary among these risks are competition from
substitute products and the need to successfully develop and market its current
and future products and, if it becomes necessary, to obtain additional
financing to fund operations. Management believes that the Company's current
cash position along with the availability under its line of credit and current
operating plan will be sufficient to fund operations for the next fiscal year.

     On March 6, 2000, the Company was acquired by SmartDisk Corporation
(SmartDisk), a publicly held Company, for approximately $16.4 million in cash,
approximately 1.1 million shares of SmartDisk common stock and options to
acquire approximately 443,000 shares of SmartDisk common stock.

     The accompanying financial statements reflect the application of the
accounting policies described below.

(A) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

     The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a
remaining maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December
31, 1998 and 1999, the Company's cash equivalents consist entirely of money
market funds.

(B) INVENTORIES

     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or
market and consist of the following at December 31, 1998 and 1999:

</TABLE>

(C) DEPRECIATION

     The Company provides for depreciation by charges to operations using the
straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the related assets,
as follows:

<TABLE>

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

(1) OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)

reviews its long-lived assets (which consist primarily of property and
equipment) for impairment as events and circumstances indicate the carrying
amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates the
realizability of its long-lived assets based on profitability and cash flow
expectations for the related asset. Management believes that, as of each of the
balance sheet dates presented, none of the Company's long-lived assets were
impaired.

(D) REVENUE RECOGNITION

     The Company recognizes revenue upon product shipment, at which time
ownership of the product is transferred. In addition, the Company also reserves
for anticipated product returns and customer allowances at that time.

(E) RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

     Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred.

(F) USE OF ESTIMATES

     The preparation of 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
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(G) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     The estimated fair market value of the Company's financial instruments,
which include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts
payable, approximates the carrying values of those instruments.

(H) CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

     SFAS No. 105, DISCLOSURE ABOUT FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH
OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT
RISK, requires disclosure of any significant off-balance-sheet and credit risk
concentrations. Financial instruments that subject the Company to significant
concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents
and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents
balances with well capitalized financial institutions. To control accounts
receivable credit risk, the Company performs credit evaluations of its
customers and maintains allowances for potential credit losses. The Company has
not experienced any significant loss on any particular customer during 1998 or
1999.

(I) COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

     Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss), as well as other
changes in stockholders' equity (deficit) except stockholder investments and
distributions. The Company's comprehensive income (loss) is equal to net income
(loss) for all periods presented.

(1) OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)

(J) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

     The Company records stock-based compensation issued to employees using the
intrinsic value method, and stock-based compensation issued to nonemployees
using the fair value method. Stock-based compensation is recognized on options
issued to employees if the option exercise price is less than the market price
of the underlying stock on the date of grant.

(K) NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

     The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE. Under the provisions of SFAS
No. 128, net income (loss) per share is measured at two levels: basic net
income (loss) per share and diluted net income (loss) per share. Basic net
income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
net income (loss) per is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted
average number of dilutive common shares, options and warrants outstanding
during the period. Diluted weighted average shares reflects the dilutive
effect, if any, of common stock options and warrants based on the treasury
stock method. No common stock equivalents are considered dilutive in periods in
which a loss is reported because all such common equivalent shares are
antidilutive. The number of common stock equivalents that were excluded from
the calculation, as their effect would have been antidilutive, was 175,300,
208,764 and 86,446 in 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively.

     The calculations of basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding
are as follows:

</TABLE>

(L) RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS
No. 133, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES. SFAS No. 133
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and
hedging activities. SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 137, will be effective
for the Company's financial reporting beginning in the first quarter of 2001.
SFAS No. 133 will require the Company to recognize all derivatives as either
assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those
instruments at fair value. The accounting for gains and losses from changes in
the fair value of a particular derivative will depend on the intended use of
the derivative. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 133 to
have a material impact on the results of its operations or financial position.

     In December 1999, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101
"Revenue Recognition." This bulletin, as amended, established guidelines for
revenue recognition and is effective for periods beginning after March 15,
2000. The Company does not expect that the adoption of the guidelines required
by SAB 101 will have a material impact on the financial statements.

                               DECEMBER 31, 1999

(2) LINE OF CREDIT

     During 1999, the Company entered into a new line of credit agreement (the
line) with a bank under which the Company may borrow up to $5,000,000 based
upon a borrowing base of 80% of eligible accounts receivable, as defined. The
line expires on June 30, 2000. Borrowings under the line are collateralized by
substantially all of the Company's assets and bear interest at the bank's prime
rate (8.50% at December 31, 1999) plus an incremental rate based on financial
performance. This incremental rate was 0.50% at December 31, 1999. The
agreement requires compliance with several financial covenants, with which the
Company was in compliance at December 31, 1999. As of December 31, 1999, there
was $4,500,000 outstanding under the line.

     During 1999, the Company issued a warrant to a bank for the purchase of
6,348 shares of Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock (the Series C
preferred stock) (see Note 5(a)) at an exercise price of $8.10 per share. No
value has been ascribed to these warrants, as they have an immaterial effect on
the financial statements.

(3) CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBT

     The Company issued convertible demand notes payable (the 1997 notes) in
the amount of $1,535,000 during 1997. At December 31, 1997, $600,000 of these
notes were outstanding. In 1998, the Company issued an additional $2,556,600 of
such notes (the 1998 notes). In conjunction with the issuance of the 1998
notes, the outstanding 1997 notes were canceled and reissued as part of the
1998 notes. The 1998 notes were unsecured and bore interest at 12% per annum.
In connection with the issuance of the 1997 notes, the Company issued an
aggregate of 15,745 warrants, to which the Company allocated $144,539 of the
gross proceeds. The resulting original issuance discount was fully amortized in
1997.

     In conjunction with the sale of the Series C preferred stock (see Note
5(a)), all principal plus accrued interest on the 1998 notes was converted into
292,633 shares of Series C preferred stock and the Company issued warrants to
purchase common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 (see Note 6(b)).

(4) INCOME TAXES

     The Company provides for income taxes under the liability method in
accordance with SFAS No. 109, ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES. Under the provisions
of SFAS No. 109, the Company recognizes a current tax liability or asset for
current taxes payable or refundable and a deferred tax liability or asset for
the estimated future effects of temporary differences between the carrying
value of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and tax reporting
purposes to the extent that they are realizable.

</TABLE>

     During 1999, the Company recorded a deferred tax asset of $1,485,000 in
the accompanying balance sheet, as it was determined that it was more likely
than not that the Company would be able to realize this asset.

     At December 31, 1998, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance
against its deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty surrounding the timing of
the realization of these tax benefits. Realization of these tax benefits were
dependent on generating sufficient taxable income.

Company's effective tax rate is as follows:

(5) REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

     During 1995, the Company issued 137,734 shares of Series A redeemable
convertible preferred stock (Series A preferred stock), $0.01 par value, at an
issuance price of $14.50 per share for net proceeds of approximately
$1,900,000. In 1997, the Company issued 76,246 and 109,264 shares of Series A
preferred stock and Series B redeemable preferred stock (Series B preferred
stock), respectively, pursuant to the conversion of $3,161,850 of convertible
subordinated debt and accrued interest. On May 6, 1997, the Company sold 25,642
shares of Series B preferred stock for net proceeds of $471,000. On December
23, 1998, the Company issued 553,744 shares of Series C preferred stock for net
cash proceeds of $1,810,000 and the conversion of $2,620,329 of convertible
subordinated debt and accrued interest. The rights and privileges of the Series
A, Series B and Series C preferred stock are as follows:

(5) REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK--(CONTINUED)

LIQUIDATION

     In the event of liquidation, the Series A, Series B and Series C preferred
stockholders are entitled to $14.50, $19.50 and $8.10 per share plus accrued
and unpaid dividends (compounded at 8%, 8% and 10% of the original purchase
price), respectively, prior to any distribution to common stockholders. The
liquidation rights of the Series C preferred stockholders are senior to those
of both the Series A and Series B preferred stockholders.

VOTING

     The preferred stockholders are entitled to voting rights equivalent to the
number of shares of common stock into which each preferred share can be
converted.

CONVERSION

     Each class of preferred stock is convertible into common stock at a rate
of one share of common stock for each share of preferred stock, adjustable for
certain dilutive events. Each share of preferred stock will be automatically
converted into shares of common stock upon the closing of a public offering of
the Company's common stock, at a price per share of not less than $24.30 per
share (as adjusted for any stock dividend or stock distribution) and aggregate
gross proceeds of not less than $15,000,000.

RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

     The preferred stockholders have certain rights of first refusal that allow
them to participate ratably in any future issuance of stock to maintain their
original ownership percentage. This right terminates upon a public offering, as
defined.

DIVIDENDS

     Cumulative dividends on preferred stock are paid out of available
earnings, as defined, if and when declared by the Board of Directors, at a rate
of 8%, 8% and 10% for Series A, Series B and Series C preferred stock,
respectively.

REDEMPTION

     The Company may be required, upon an affirmative vote of the holders of at
least 50% of the then outstanding preferred shares, to redeem all of the
preferred stock in three equal installments, with the first installment on or
after December 1, 2003, and the second and third installments on the first and
second anniversary of such date, respectively. The redemption price of the
Series A, Series B and Series C preferred stock is $14.50, 19.50 and $8.10 per
share, respectively, plus an amount equal to an annual compounded rate of 8%,
8% and 10% of the original purchase price, respectively.

     The warrants may be exercised at any time after issuance and expire at
various dates through 2007. The warrants are subject to certain antidilution
provisions that allow the holders of these warrants to participate in property
and security dividends issued by the Company to common stockholders and to
participate in any common stock dividends or splits.

     In addition to the preferred stock warrants granted above, in 1997, the
Company granted warrants for the purchase of 1,026 shares of common stock at an
exercise price of $19.50 per share and in 1998, the Company granted warrants to
purchase 138,436 shares of common stock, an exercise price of $0.10 per share,
in connection with the conversion of the convertible subordinated debt
described in Note 3 and the issuance of the Series C preferred stock (Note 5).
The warrants may be exercised at anytime after issuance and expire at various
dates through 2008. No value has been ascribed to these warrants, as they have
an immaterial effect on the financial statements.

     Under the 1995 Stock Option Plan as amended (the Plan), the Company may
grant options to purchase up to 536,994 shares of common stock to be granted to

                                      F-16



                                                                    EXHIBIT 99.2

           UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed statement of
operations for the year ended December 31, 1999, and the unaudited pro forma
combined condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 1999 give effect to the VST
acquisition as if it had occurred on (i) January 1, 1999 in the case of the
statement of operations and (ii) December 31, 1999 in the case of the balance
sheet. These unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements are
based upon the historical financial information of VST appearing elsewhere in
this Form 8-K/A and of SmartDisk included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1999.

         The VST acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase business
combination for financial accounting purposes. The total purchase price of the
acquisition was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities
of VST based upon their respective fair values as of the date of the closing of
the acquisition, pending final determination of certain acquired balances. In
the opinion of management, the appropriate adjustments have been made to the
historical financial statements which are necessary to fairly present the pro
forma combined condensed financial statements. These pro forma adjustments are
described in the notes accompanying these unaudited pro forma combined condensed
financial statements. These unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial
statements are provided for information purposes only and do not purport to
represent what our results of operations or financial position would actually
have been had the transactions in fact occurred at such dates or to project our
results of operations or financial position at or for any future date or period.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1.       UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED BALANCE SHEET

         The pro forma combined condensed balance sheet gives effect to the
acquisition as if it had occurred on December 31, 1999.

         On March 6, 2000, SmartDisk Corporation acquired all the outstanding
shares of VST stock in exchange for approximately 1.073 million shares of
SmartDisk common stock and approximately $16.4 million in cash. In addition,
SmartDisk issued options to purchase a total of approximately 443,000 shares of
SmartDisk common stock in exchange for all issued and outstanding VST options.
The following adjustment has been reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined
condensed balance sheet.

(a)      To reflect cash, common stock and options issued to the shareholders of
         VST, and applicable purchase accounting entries, including the
         elimination of VST's common stock, capital in excess of par value and
         retained earnings. The Company also recorded additional goodwill and a
         deferred income tax liability associated with separately identified
         intangible assets.

         Under purchase accounting, the total purchase price of the acquisition
was allocated to VST's assets and liabilities based on their relative fair
values as of the date of the closing of the acquisition, pending final
determination of certain acquired balances. The amounts and components of the
purchase price along with the allocation of the purchase price to net assets
acquired are presented below (in thousands).

NOTE 2.    UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

         The pro forma combined condensed statement of operations gives effect
to the acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 1999.

(b)      Adjustment to reflect the amortization of goodwill and other intangible
         assets resulting from the allocation of purchase price. The pro forma
         adjustment assumes goodwill and other intangible assets will be
         amortized on a straight-line basis over the following lives. Historical
         amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets for SmartDisk has
         been included in general and administrative expenses.

              Intangible assets:
                    Non-compete agreements                               2 years
                    Distribution channels                                2 years
                    VST trade name                                       2 years
                    Patents                                              3 years
                    Workforce in place                                   4 years
              Goodwill                                                   5 years

(c)      To reflect an increase in interest expense assuming we borrowed the
         approximately $16.4 million cash paid to VST security holders at
         SmartDisk's effective borrowing rate of 8.5% on January 1, 1999 until
         the date of our IPO at which time we would have paid down the debt. The
         resulting decrease in cash proceeds would correspondingly decrease
         interest income associated with cash, cash equivalents and short-term
         investments.

(d)      To reflect income tax expense at a rate of approximately 40% on income
         earned by VST less pro forma interest expense.

(e)      To reflect an income tax benefit at a rate of approximately 40% on
         amortization expense on separately identified intangible assets.

(f)      To reflect the shares issued as consideration for the acquisition.
