                             NetScout Systems, Inc.
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

      The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of September 30,
2000 and for the three and six months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 are
unaudited. In the opinion of NetScout's management, the September 30, 2000 and
1999 unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all
adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial position and results of operations for that
period. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended
September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations
for the year ended March 31, 2001.

      The balance sheet at March 31, 2000 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 principles for complete
financial statements.

      For further information refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in NetScout's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended March 31, 2000, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
June 23, 2000.

2. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

      NetScout considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity
of three months or less to be cash equivalents and those with maturities greater
than three months are considered to be marketable securities. Cash equivalents
and marketable securities are stated at amortized cost plus accrued interest,
which approximates fair value. Cash equivalents and marketable securities
consist primarily of money market instruments and U.S. Treasury bills.

      NetScout accounts for its investments in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." Under the provision of SFAS No. 115,
NetScout has classified its investments as "available-for-sale" and any
associated unrealized gains or losses, if material, are recorded as a separate
component of stockholders' equity until realized. At September 30, 2000 and
March 31, 2000, any unrealized gains or losses were not significant.

3. Inventories

      Inventories consist of the following (in thousands):

                                                 September 30,     March 31,

5. Acquisition

      In July 2000, NetScout acquired all of the outstanding common and
preferred stock of NextPoint Networks, Inc. ("NextPoint") in exchange for
1,831,518 shares of NetScout common stock and $19.6 million in cash. NetScout
also issued options and warrants exercisable for 298,647 shares of NetScout
common stock in exchange for all outstanding options and warrants exercisable
for NextPoint common stock. The value of the acquisition was $53.1 million
based on the fair value of the consideration paid plus direct acquisition
costs. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method. In
addition, 267,602 shares of NetScout common stock have been reserved and will
be released during a two-year period subsequent to the acquisition to two
founding shareholders of NextPoint as they continue employment by NetScout.
NetScout recorded $4.0 million as deferred compensation related to these
reserved shares, which will be amortized to stock-based compensation expense
over the two-year period of employment. Accordingly, the results of
operations of NextPoint subsequent to July 7, 2000 have been included in
NetScout's statements of operations for the three and six months ended
September 30, 2000. The preliminary purchase price allocation is as follows
(in thousands):

Tangible net assets                                         $3,709
Intangible assets acquired:
         Goodwill                                           45,142
         Completed technology                                2,166
         Customer base                                       1,100
         Assembled workforce                                   700
         In-process research and  development                  268
                                                           -------
Total purchase price allocation                            $53,085
                                                           =======


      Tangible net assets acquired include cash, accounts receivable, fixed
assets, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable, accrued
expenses, deferred revenue and notes payable, in addition to net deferred tax
asset related to net operating losses carried forward from NextPoint,
partially offset by deferred tax liabilities created with the acquisition of
intangible assets other than goodwill, and deferred compensation related to
unvested options exchanged as part of the acquisition. Goodwill and other
intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over estimated
useful lives of two to five years (Note 4).

<PAGE>

      A portion of the purchase price was allocated to acquired in-process
research and development ("IPR&D") and completed technology. Completed
technology and IPR&D were identified and valued through interviews and analysis
of data provided by management regarding products under development.
Developmental projects that had reached technological feasibility were
classified as completed technology and will be amortized over three years.
Projects that had not reached technological feasibility and had no future
alternative uses were classified as IPR&D and charged to expense on the day of
the acquisition. The value of IPR&D was determined considering the project's
stage of completion, the time and resources needed for completion, the
contribution of core technology, and the projected discounted cash flows of
completed products. The discount rate was determined considering weighted
average cost of capital and the risk surrounding the successful completion of
the projects under development.

      The summary table below, prepared on an unaudited pro forma basis,
combines NetScout's results of operations with NextPoint's results of operations
as if NextPoint had been acquired as of April 1, 1999 (in thousands, except per
share data):

                                                       Six Months Ended
                                                         September 30,
                                                         -------------
                                                      2000          1999
                                                      ----          ----
      Revenue ................................      $54,990       $39,971
      Net income (loss) ......................         $358         $(392)
      Basic net income (loss)per share .......        $0.01        $(0.02)
      Diluted net income (loss) per share ....        $0.01        $(0.02)

      The proforma results are not necessarily indicative of what would have
occurred if the acquisitions had been in effect for the periods presented. In
addition, they are not intended to be a projection of future results and do not
reflect any synergies that might be achieved from combined operations.

      Our effective tax rate before non-deductible costs related to the
acquisition of NextPoint and stock-based compensation expense was 35.5% and 36%
for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

6. Contingencies

      On November 5, 1999, a former employee of NetScout filed an action against
the Company and an employee stockholder of NetScout in the Massachusetts
Superior Court Department of the Trial Court, Middlesex County, alleging claims
of discrimination on the basis of sex and sexual harassment. On December 30,
1999, NetScout filed a Notice of Removal to the United States District Court for
the District of Massachusetts, thereby removing the action to that Court.
NetScout has filed an Answer denying these allegations and plans to vigorously
defend this matter. NetScout has recorded an accrual to address this matter.
However, since the matter is at a preliminary stage, NetScout is unable to
predict the outcome or amount of related expense, or loss, if any.

      In addition to the matter noted above, from time to time NetScout is
subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. In
the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate expense with respect to any
other current legal proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse
effect on NetScout's financial position or results of operations.

7. Geographic Information

      Revenue was distributed geographically as follows (in thousands):

      Other international ........     2,564     2,428     4,507     6,057
                                     -------------------------------------
                                     $28,819   $20,304   $53,988   $39,375
                                     =====================================

      The North America revenue figures include sales made by NetScout to
      domestic resellers. These domestic resellers may sell NetScout product to
      international locations. NetScout still reports these shipments as North
      America revenue since NetScout ships the product to a domestic location.
      Substantially all of NetScout's identifiable assets are located in the
      United States.

8. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

      In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,"
as amended by SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities - Deferral of Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133"
and SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain
Hedging Activities - an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133", which
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and
hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as
either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and
measure those instruments at fair value. NetScout, to date has not engaged in
derivative and hedging activities, and accordingly does not believe that the
adoption of SFAS No. 133 will have a material impact on the financial
reporting and related disclosures of the company. NetScout will adopt SFAS
No. 133 as required by SFAS No. 137 in fiscal year 2002.

      In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No.101 "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements", as amended by SAB No.101A and 101B. SAB No.101 summarizes the SEC's
views in applying generally accepted accounting principles to selected revenue
recognition issues in financial statements. The application of the guidance of
SAB No. 101 will be required in the Company's fourth quarter of fiscal 2001. The
Company is currently determining the impact, if any, that SAB No. 101 will have
on its financial position and results of operations.
