ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

         On July 7, 2000, NetScout Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation,
completed its acquisition of NextPoint Nextworks, Inc., a Delaware corporation,
by means of a merger of NextPoint with and into NetScout Service Level
Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of NetScout,
pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of June 13, 2000.
The Merger was effected by the filing of a Certificate of Merger with the
Secretary of State of Delaware on July 7, 2000. NextPoint was a provider of
integrated application and network management software solutions to traditional
enterprises, e-businesses and application and management services providers.

         Upon the effective time of the Merger on July 7, 2000, NetScout issued
an aggregate of 2,099,120 shares of NetScout common stock, par value $0.001 per
share and $19,532,517 in cash in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of
capital stock of NextPoint. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, upon
the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of capital stock of
NextPoint converted into the right to receive the number of shares NetScout
common stock and the amount of cash as follows:

    -    Each  outstanding  share of NextPoint  Series A  Convertible  Preferred
         Stock as  converted  into the right to receive  .277 shares of NetScout
         Common Stock and $2.59 in cash.

    -    Each  outstanding  share of NextPoint  Series B  Convertible  Preferred
         Stock was  converted  into the right to receive .477 shares of NetScout
         Common Stock and $4.45 in cash.

    -    Each  outstanding  share of NextPoint  Series C  Convertible  Preferred
         Stock was  converted  into the right to receive .640 shares of NetScout
         Common Stock and $5.97 in cash.

    -    Each outstanding share of NextPoint Common Stock was converted into the
         right to receive  .233  shares of  NetScout  Common  Stock and $2.17 in
         cash.

         Each holder of NextPoint capital stock who is otherwise entitled to a
fraction of a share of NetScout common stock will receive cash in lieu thereof,
equal to a fraction multiplied by $13.32. In accordance with the terms of the
Merger Agreement and an escrow agreement, 314,887 shares of NetScout common
stock and $2,936,267 in cash have been placed in an escrow account to secure
certain indemnification obligations of NextPoint under the Merger Agreement. In
addition, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, NetScout assumed
outstanding warrants to purchase shares of NextPoint Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock. NetScout has reserved an aggregate of 24,741 shares of its
common stock and $230,732.72 in cash for issuance upon the exercise of these
warrants. NetScout also assumed outstanding options to purchase shares of
NextPoint common stock pursuant to NextPoint's 1997 Stock Incentive Plan and
2000 Stock Incentive Plan. NetScout has reserved an aggregate of 273,906 shares
of its common stock for issuance upon exercise of these options.

         The NetScout common stock issued in connection with the merger was
issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2)
of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended. NetScout used proceeds raised by
NetScout in its initial public offering of common stock, which was consummated
in August 1999, to pay for the cash portion of the merger consideration.

                                      2

         The purchase price and terms for the transaction were determined in
arms-length negotiations. The acquisition of NextPoint is intended to qualify a
tax-free reorganization under Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended. NetScout will account for the transaction under the purchase method
of accounting.

         The terms of the Merger are more fully described in the Merger
Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, which are each filed as Exhibit
2.1 and 10.1, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
NextPoint Networks, Inc.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related
consolidated statements of operations, of redeemable preferred stock and
stockholders' deficit and of cash flows present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of NextPoint Networks, Inc. and its subsidiary
at December 31, 1998 and 1999, and the results of their operations and their
cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States. 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 of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States, which 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, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

1.       NATURE OF THE BUSINESS

         NextPoint Networks, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated as a Delaware
         corporation in November 1996. The Company develops, markets and
         supports a family of software products for monitoring and reporting
         network and application performance. Providing both network and
         end-user views of network performance data, the Company's products
         enable real-time management of distributed networks varying in size.

         The Company was considered a development stage enterprise, as defined
         in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 7, during
         the year ended December 31, 1998. In 1999, principal operations have
         commenced and, accordingly, the Company's consolidated financial
         statements are no longer presented as those of a development stage
         enterprise.

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         Significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the
         financial statements are as follows:

         PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
         The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company
         include the accounts of NextPoint Networks, Inc. and its wholly-owned
         subsidiary, NextPoint Networks Securities Corporation, a Delaware
         corporation. All significant intercompany transactions and balances
         have been eliminated in consolidation.

         CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
         All highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months
         or less are considered to be cash equivalents. The Company invests
         excess cash primarily in money market funds of major financial
         institutions. Accordingly, these investments are subject to minimal
         credit and market risk. At December 31, 1998 and 1999, the Company's
         cash equivalents were $8,893,920 and $927,389, respectively. These
         investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.

         FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
         The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash
         equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes payable, and
         other accrued expenses. The carrying amounts of these instruments at
         December 31, 1998 and 1999 approximates their fair values.

         ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK AND
         SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS
         Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to
         concentrations of credit risk include cash and cash equivalents and
         accounts receivable. The Company maintains substantially all of its
         money market funds with one financial institution which management
         believes has a high credit standing. To minimize credit risk related to
         accounts receivable, ongoing credit evaluations of customers' financial
         condition are performed.

         Revenue of $132,000 (36% of total revenue), $60,000 (15% of total
         revenue), $69,000 (18% of total revenue) and $46,000 (11% of total
         revenue) was attributable to individual customers in the year ended
         December 31, 1998. Revenue of $161,000 (10% of total


                                      F-6

<PAGE>

         revenue) was attributable to one customer in the year ended December
         31, 1999. At December 31, 1998, accounts receivable from four customers
         were $154,000 (94% of gross accounts receivable). At December 31, 1999,
         accounts receivable from one customer was $128,000 (16% of gross
         accounts receivable).

         FIXED ASSETS
         Fixed assets are recorded at cost and depreciated using the
         straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Repair and
         maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are
         retired or disposed of, the assets and related accumulated depreciation
         are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is
         reflected in income.

         LONG-LIVED ASSETS
         In accordance with SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
         Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," the Company
         periodically evaluates the net realizable value of its long-lived
         assets and records impairment losses on those assets when indicators of
         impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be
         generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amounts.
         Through December 31, 1999, the Company has not recognized an impairment
         loss on its long-lived assets.

         REVENUE RECOGNITION
         Revenue is derived from the licensing of computer software products and
         from maintenance and support services. The Company has adopted the
         guidelines of Statement of Position 97-2, "Software Revenue
         Recognition" ("SOP 97-2"), as amended by Statement of Position 98-9,
         "Modification of SOP No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, with
         Respect to Certain Transactions" ("SOP 98-9"), both which provide
         guidance on applying generally accepted accounting principles in
         recognizing revenue on software transactions.

         Purchasers of the Company's software licenses generally enter an
         initial annual maintenance and support contract, and, as such, the
         Company considers these multiple elements of a single arrangement. As
         software licenses are not sold individually, the Company employs the
         "residual method" of accounting for revenue recognition, as defined by
         SOP 98-9. The residual method requires that the portion of the total
         arrangement fee attributable to undelivered elements, as indicated by
         vendor specific objective evidence of fair value ("VSOE"), is deferred
         and subsequently recognized in accordance with SOP 97-2. The difference
         between the total arrangement fee and the amount deferred for the
         undelivered elements is recognized as revenue related to the delivered
         elements, if all other revenue recognition criteria of SOP 97-2 are
         met. VSOE for maintenance and support services is determined based upon
         the prices charged to customers when these elements are sold
         separately, typically from the renewal of the annual service contracts.

         Software licenses are typically sold subject to a customer evaluation
         period, and requires some installation services prior to their
         effective use. In accordance with SOP 97-2, the Company does not
         recognize revenue from the sale of licenses until the evaluation and
         installation period ends, and the license is deemed delivered and
         accepted, provided that the Company has received a signed purchase
         order or contract, the license fee is fixed or determinable, and
         collection of the fee is probable. The Company recognizes revenue from
         maintenance and support services ratably over the contract period,
         recording any up-front payments as deferred revenue.


                                      F-7

<PAGE>

         Revenue on sales through resellers is not recognized until the end user
         completes the evaluation period.

         COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
         SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," requires a full set of
         general purpose financial statements to be expanded to include the
         reporting of "comprehensive income." Comprehensive income is comprised
         of two components, net income and other comprehensive income. For all
         periods presented, the Company's only component of comprehensive income
         or loss was the Company's reported net losses.

         RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AND SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS
         Costs associated with the research and development of the Company's
         products are expensed as incurred. Costs associated with the
         development of computer software are expensed prior to establishing
         technological feasibility, as defined by SFAS No. 86, "Accounting for
         the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise
         Marketed," and capitalized thereafter until commercial release of the
         software products. Software development costs eligible for
         capitalization have not been significant to date.

         ADVERTISING COSTS
         The Company expenses as incurred costs of producing advertising and
         sales-related collateral materials. Advertising expense for the periods
         ended December 31, 1998 and 1999, was $162,336 and $34,965,
         respectively.

         ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
         The Company accounts for stock-based awards to its employees using the
         intrinsic value based method as prescribed in Accounting Principles
         Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
         Employees," and related interpretations. Accordingly, compensation
         expense is recorded for options issued to employees in fixed amounts to
         the extent that the fixed exercise prices are less than the fair value
         of the Company's common stock at the date of the grant. The Company
         follows the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123, "Accounting for
         Stock-Based Compensation." All stock-based awards to nonemployees are
         accounted for at their fair value.

         INCOME TAXES
         Deferred taxes are determined based on the difference between the
         financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using
         enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are
         expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are provided if, based upon
         the weighted available evidence, it is more likely than not that some
         or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

         RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
         The Company's future results of operations involve a number of risks
         and uncertainties that could affect the Company's future operating
         results and cause actual results to vary materially from expectations.
         Those factors include, but are not limited to, dependence on strategic
         partners, limited operating history, ability to fund and manage growth,
         and technological change.

         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 periods. Actual results could differ
         from those estimates.

                                      F-8

         RECLASSIFICATIONS
         Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
         current year's presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on
         the Company's results of operations.

         RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued SFAS No.
         133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities"
         ("SFAS 133"). SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards
         for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
         embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as
         "derivatives"), and for hedging activities. SFAS 133, as amended by
         SFAS 137, is effective for all fiscal quarters of all years beginning
         after June 15, 2000, with earlier application encouraged. The Company
         does not currently use derivative instruments or engage in hedging
         activities.

         In November 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued
         Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 100, "Restructuring and Impairment
         Charges" ("SAB 100"). In December 1999, the SEC issued Staff Accounting
         Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB
         101"). SAB No. 100 expresses the views of the SEC staff regarding the
         accounting for and disclosure of certain expenses commonly reported in
         connection with exit activities and business combinations. The Company
         does not expect the provisions of SAB No. 100 to have a material impact
         on its financial statements. SAB No. 101 expresses the views of the SEC
         staff in applying generally accepted accounting principles to certain
         revenue recognition issues. The Company is currently determining the
         impact that SAB No. 101 will have on its financial position and results
         of operations.

         In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued FASB
         Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving
         Stock Compensation - an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25" ("FIN
         44"). FIN 44 clarifies the application of APB Opinion No. 25 and among
         other issues clarifies the following: the definition of an employee for
         purposes of applying APB Opinion No. 25; the criteria for determining
         whether a plan qualifies as a noncompensatory plan; the accounting
         consequence of various modifications to the terms of previously fixed
         stock options or awards; and the accounting for an exchange of stock
         compensation awards in a business combination. FIN 44 is effective July
         1, 2000, but certain conclusions in FIN 44 cover specific events that
         occurred after either December 15, 1998 or January 12, 2000. The
         Company does not expect the application of FIN 44 to have a material
         impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

3.       NOTE RECEIVABLE FROM STOCKHOLDER

         In November 1996, the Company loaned $25,000 to an employee. In July
         1997, it loaned an additional $10,000 to the employee under the same
         agreement. The note bears interest at an annual rate of 6.6% compounded
         annually. The note is collateralized by the common stock owned by the
         employee.

         The principal and all unpaid accrued interest is payable on the earlier
         of (i) November 12, 2005, (ii) the closing of an initial public
         offering of the Company's common stock, (iii) the sale, transfer or
         assignment of substantially all the Company's assets, (iv) the
         liquidation of the Company or merger or consolidation of the Company
         into or with another entity, unless the shareholders of the Company
         immediately prior to such event own more than 50% of the voting power
         of the surviving entity immediately after the merger or consolidation,
         or (v) the termination of the borrower's employment.

</TABLE>

         Depreciation expense, including amortization, was $124,070 and $279,230
         for the years ended December 31,1998 and 1999, respectively.

5.       DEBT

         The Company has agreements with a bank for a revolving working capital
         line of credit and an equipment line of credit. Borrowings under the
         revolving line of credit are collateralized by substantially all of the
         Company's assets and may not exceed the lesser of $1,000,000 or
         eligible accounts receivable, as defined by the agreements. Interest is
         payable monthly at the bank's prime rate plus 0.5%. The revolving
         working capital line of credit expired unused on July 14, 1999 and was
         subsequently amended on January 18, 2000 (Note 13).

         Under the equipment line of credit, the Company may borrow up to
         $500,000 for the purchase of property and equipment. Interest is
         payable monthly at the bank's prime rate (9.25% at December 31, 1999)
         plus 0.75%. Drawings under this line were permitted through January 14,
         1999, at which time the line converted to a term note, payable in 36
         equal monthly installments of principal and interest beginning on
         February 14, 1999. Borrowings are secured by all assets of the Company.

                                      F-10

<PAGE>

         Under these agreements, the Company must meet certain financial and
         reporting covenants. The Company was in violation of certain of these
         covenants at December 31, 1999; however, a waiver of the violations was
         subsequently granted (Note 13). In connection with the revolving line
         of credit, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 5,428 shares of
         Series C Preferred Stock at $9.21 per share. The warrant was fully
         exercisable upon issuance and expires on July 14, 2005. The value
         ascribed to the warrant was not significant.

         In December 1997, the Company entered into a note payable with a third
         party related to certain leasehold improvements. The note is payable in
         monthly installments with a stated interest rate of 10% per year
         through May 2003. The note is guaranteed by the Company's landlord.

         At December 31, 1999, aggregate principal maturities of long-term debt
         are as follows:

6.       REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

         At December 31, 1999, the Company's outstanding Series A Redeemable
         Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series A preferred stock"), Series B
         Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series B preferred stock") and
         Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series C preferred
         stock") had the following characteristics:

         VOTING
         Holders of Series A, Series B and Series C preferred stock are entitled
         to the number of votes equal to the number of common shares into which
         the shares of preferred stock are convertible.

         DIVIDENDS
         The holders of the Series A, Series B and Series C preferred stock are
         entitled to cash dividends, out of funds legally available, when and if
         declared by the Board of Directors. In addition, the holders of the
         Series A, Series B and Series C preferred stock are entitled to receive
         a payment equal to any dividend declared or paid by the Company in
         respect to common stock for each share of common stock into which the
         convertible preferred stock is then convertible.

         LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE
         In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the
         affairs of the Company, the holders of Series A, Series B and Series C
         preferred stock are entitled to receive, prior to and in preference to
         holders of common stock, an amount equal to $1.00, $5.53 and $9.21 per
         share, respectively, plus any declared but unpaid dividends, or, if the
         remaining assets of the Company are insufficient to pay the full
         amounts entitled, the holders of Series A, Series B and Series C
         preferred stock will share ratably in the distribution of the remaining
         assets.

                                      F-11

         The merger or consolidation of the Company into or with another
         corporation (except a merger or consolidation in which the holders of
         capital stock of the Company immediately prior to such merger or
         consolidation continue to hold immediately following such transaction
         at least 50% by voting power of the capital stock of the surviving
         corporation), or the sale of all or substantially all the assets of the
         Corporation, shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or
         winding up of the Company for the purposes of this characteristic.

         CONVERSION
         Each Series A, Series B and Series C preferred share may be converted
         at any time, at the option of the stockholder, into one share of common
         stock, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments. The number of
         resulting shares of common stock is determined by dividing the original
         issuance price of the preferred stock, $1.00, $5.53 and $9.21 for
         Series A, Series B and Series C preferred stock, respectively, by the
         conversion price of each share of preferred stock in effect at the time
         of conversion. At December 31, 1999, the conversion price of Series A,
         Series B and Series C preferred stock was $1.00, $5.53 and $9.21,
         respectively. The Series A, Series B and Series C preferred stock is
         automatically converted into common stock upon the closing of an
         initial public offering with net proceeds of at least $25 million and
         with a price per common share of at least $23.03 or in the event that
         the holders of two-thirds of the total number of each class of
         preferred shares elects to convert.

         REDEMPTION
         At any time on or after January 24, 2004, upon the written request
         of any holder of Series A, Series B or Series C preferred stock,
         each holder of outstanding shares of Series A, Series B or Series C
         preferred stock shall have the right to cause the Company to redeem
         the then outstanding shares over a three-year period at the
         respective original per share purchase price plus any declared but
         unpaid dividends in increments as follows:

7.       COMMON STOCK

         Each share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all
         matters submitted to a vote of the Company's stockholders. Common
         stockholders are entitled to receive dividends, if any, as may be
         declared by the Board of Directors, subject to the preferential
         dividend rights of the Series A, Series B and Series C preferred
         stockholders.

         At December 31, 1999, the Company had 3,495,648 shares of its common
         stock reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Series A, Series B
         and Series C preferred stock and the exercise of stock options.

         RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENTS
         The Company has entered into stock restriction agreements with certain
         common stockholders. The agreements provide that, in the event these
         individuals are no longer employed by the Company, the Company has the
         right to repurchase any or all unvested shares. Shares subject to
         restriction vest over a three or four year period. At

                                      F-12

<PAGE>

         December 31, 1999, 16,800 shares of common stock were subject to
         repurchase by the Company, at a price of $0.01 per share. The Company
         repurchased 30,750 and 13,250 shares of common stock from shareholders
         during the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1999, respectively, at a
         total purchase price of $1,208 and $132, respectively.

         At December 31, 1999, the Company's outstanding common stock is subject
         to certain restrictions as to sale or transfer. The Company and its
         stockholders are entitled to a right of first refusal on shares offered
         for sale at the then-current fair market value.

8.       STOCK OPTION PLAN

         In 1997, the Company adopted the NextPoint Networks, Inc. 1997 Stock
         Incentive Plan (the "1997 Plan") which provides for the grant of
         incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options, stock awards
         and stock purchase rights for the purchase of up to 700,000 shares of
         the Company's common stock by officers, employees, consultants and
         directors of the Company. The Board of Directors is responsible for
         administration of the 1997 Plan. The Board determines the term of each
         option, the option exercise price, the number of shares for which each
         option is granted and the rate at which each option is exercisable.
         Incentive stock options may be granted to any officer or employee at an
         exercise price per share of not less than the fair value per common
         share on the date of the grant (not less than 110% of fair value in the
         case of holders of more than 10% of the Company's voting stock) and
         with a term not to exceed ten years from the date of the grant (five
         years for incentive stock options granted to holders of more than 10%
         of the Company's voting stock). Nonqualified stock options may be
         granted to any officer, employee, consultant or director at an exercise
         price per share of not less than the book value per share.

         Under the 1997 plan, all restricted stock and all other stock-based
         awards, other than options and stock appreciation rights, become
         immediately vested in full and free of all restrictions and conditions
         upon (i) the merger or consolidation of the Company which results in
         the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to
         such event representing less than 60% of the combined voting power of
         the voting securities of the surviving company or acquiring entity
         after such event, (ii) any sale of all or substantially all of the
         assets of the Company, (iii) the complete liquidation of the Company,
         or (iv) the acquisition of 50% or more of the voting power of the
         Company's then outstanding securities by another entity.

         Under the 1997 plan, all options and stock appreciation rights become
         immediately exercisable in full and free of all restrictions and
         conditions, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, upon (i) the
         merger or consolidation of the Company which results in the voting
         securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such event
         representing less than 60% of the combined voting power of the voting
         securities of the surviving company or acquiring entity after such
         event, (ii) any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the
         Company, or (iii) the complete liquidation of the Company. All options
         and stock appreciation rights become immediately exercisable in full
         and free of all restrictions and conditions upon the acquisition of 50%
         or more of the voting power of the Company's then outstanding
         securities by another entity.

         During 1999, the Company granted stock options to purchase 358,000
         shares of its common stock at various exercise prices. The Company
         recorded compensation expense and deferred compensation relating to
         these options totaling $127,899 and $1,053,433,

                                      F-13

<PAGE>

         respectively, representing the differences between the estimated fair
         market value of the common stock on the date of grant and the exercise
         price. Compensation relating to these options is recorded as a
         component of stockholders' deficit and is being amortized over the
         vesting periods of the related options.

         In May 1999, the Company granted options to purchase 1,250 shares of
         common stock to a consultant. The fair value ascribed to the shares was
         $4,300 which was recorded as deferred compensation at the date of
         grant, and fully amortized to expense during the year ended December
         31, 1999.

         In September 1999, the Company granted 87,650 stock options to purchase
         common stock at $0.90 per share to certain employees. At the grant
         date, the Company estimated the fair value of its common stock to be
         $1.25 per share. In accordance with APB No. 25, the Company recorded
         $30,678 of deferred compensation which will be charged to the Company's
         operations over the vesting period of the options, generally four
         years. For the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company recorded
         $1,917 of compensation expense related to these options.

         In December 1999, the Company granted 2,500 stock options to purchase
         common stock to a consultant in exchange for services performed. The
         fair value ascribed to the shares was $7,945 which was recorded as
         deferred compensation at the date of grant, and fully amortized to
         expense during the year ended December 31, 1999.

         Activity under the Option Plan during 1998 and 1999 was as follows:

         Except as described above, no compensation costs has been recognized
         for employee stock-based compensation to date. Had compensation cost
         been determined based on the estimated fair value at the grant dates
         consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company's net loss
         for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1999 would have been the pro
         forma amounts indicated below. Because options vest over several years

         fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant
         using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following
         assumptions for grants in 1998 and 1999: no dividend yield; no
         volatility; risk-free interest rates of 4.9% and 5.7%, respectively;
         and expected lives of five years.

</TABLE>
         Under generally accepted accounting principles, the benefit associated
         with future deductible differences is recognized if it is more likely
         than not that the benefit will be realized. Management believes that,
         based on the Company's historical results of operations, it is more
         likely than not that a substantial amount of the Company's deferred tax
         assets will not be realized. Accordingly, the Company has recorded a
         valuation allowance of $2,999,571 and $6,473,465 at December 31, 1998
         and 1999, respectively. Management believes that the net deferred tax
         asset represents management's best estimate, based upon the weight of
         available evidence, of the deferred tax asset that will be realized. If
         such evidence were to change, based upon near-term operating results
         and longer-term projections, the amount of the valuation allowance
         recorded against the gross deferred tax asset may be decreased or
         increased.

         At December 31, 1999, the Company had federal and state net operating
         loss carryforwards of approximately $14,692,200 and $14,649,261,
         respectively, available to reduce future taxable income which expire at
         various dates between 2001 and 2019. The Company also has federal and
         state research and development tax credit carryforwards of
         approximately $305,051 and $232,551, respectively, available to reduce
         future tax liabilities which expire at various dates between 2001 and
         2019.

         Under the provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, certain
         substantial changes in the Company's ownership may limit the amount of
         federal net operating loss carryforwards and research and development
         credit carryforwards which could be utilized annually to offset future
         federal taxable income and taxes payable.

         Plan covers substantially all employees of the Company who meet minimum
         age and service requirements, and allows participants to defer a
         portion of their annual compensation on a pre-tax basis. Company
         contributions to the 401(k) Plan may be made at the discretion of the
         Board of Directors. The Company has not made any contributions to the
         401(k) Plan through December 31, 1999.

13.      SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

         On January 18, 2000, the Company entered into a loan modification
         agreement with its bank, which, among other things, increased the
         amount available under its revolving line of credit to $1,500,000,
         extended the terms of its revolving line of credit and equipment credit
         line to January 18, 2001 and June 1, 2003, respectively, and
         established a committed bridge loan (the "bridge loan"). The bridge
         loan provided advances to the Company of up to $2,000,000, $1,000,000
         of which was available to the Company through January 31, 2000, and an
         additional $1,000,000 of which was available to the Company contingent
         upon its ability to obtain a commitment to raise $2,000,000 in
         additional subordinated debt from a third party and the Company's
         receipt of a commitment to purchase certain capital stock in the
         Company. The bridge loan matured on April 18, 2000, and was
         subsequently extended to June 30, 2000 by a second loan modification
         agreement, dated June 9, 2000. Pursuant to the second loan modification
         agreement, the revolving line of credit and certain unused portions of
         the equipment credit line were terminated. In exchange for such
         extension, the Company granted warrants to purchase 15,648 shares of
         the Company's Series C preferred stock at an exercise price of $5.53
         per share. The warrants are exercisable immediately and expire

                                      F-17

<PAGE>

         on June 9, 2005. Additional warrants are to be granted under the
         agreement upon the maturity of the bridge loan, and as of each 30th
         day thereafter, so long as the bridge loan borrowings are
         outstanding. The number of Series C preferred shares to be issued
         under each subsequent warrant is determined by multiplying the then
         outstanding principal amount under the bridge loan and the equipment
         loan by a factor of 0.025, and dividing by $9.21 per share.
         Borrowings under the modified equipment credit line and bridge loan
         accrued interest at the prime rate plus 0.75% and the prime rate
         plus 2.00%, respectively. The agreement for this facility requires
         that the Company maintain certain financial ratios and the initial
         loan modification agreement waives the bank's right to accelerate
         payments on borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 1999, due to
         certain violations of covenants in effect at that date. On January
         27, 2000, the Company borrowed $1,000,000 under the bridge loan
         facility. This facility is secured by a lien against substantially
         all of the Company's assets, and is guaranteed by a subsidiary of
         the Company.

         In conjunction with this facility, the Company issued a warrant to
         purchase 17,589 shares of the Company's Series C preferred stock at an
         exercise price of $9.21 per share. The exercise price for such shares
         was reduced to $5.53 per share by the second loan modification
         agreement. This warrant was exercisable immediately and expires on
         January 18, 2005.

         On January 21, 2000, the Company entered into a demand convertible loan
         and security agreement with certain investors in the Company. The
         agreement establishes a $2,000,000 revolving credit loan, payable on
         the earlier of demand or one hundred eighty days after the initial draw
         under the bank bridge loan. Interest on borrowings under the revolving
         credit loan accrues at 10.00% per year, until notice of demand or
         maturity, after which, interest accrues at 15.00% per year until such
         borrowings are paid in full. Borrowings under this revolving credit
         loan were subject to the Company borrowing $1,000,000 under its bridge
         loan with its bank and is secured by a junior lien against
         substantially all the assets of the Company. Upon a qualified financing
         transaction, defined as a sale of the Company's common or preferred
         stock for at least an aggregate of $10,000,000, the outstanding
         principal amounts under the revolving credit loan are convertible, at
         the holder's option, into shares of such financing at that financing's
         per share price. In the event of a merger or sale of the Company,
         outstanding principal amounts are convertible, at the holder's option,
         into shares of Series C preferred stock at a per share price of the
         lesser of (i) $9.21 per share, (ii) 75% of the preferred stock per
         share price as established by the terms of the merger, or (iii) $5.53
         per share if borrowings under the loan have not been repaid 60 days
         following its maturity date. The agreement for this facility requires
         that the Company maintain certain financial ratios.

         On March 13, 2000, the Company borrowed $1,000,000 under this facility
         and issued to the investors initial warrants to purchase an aggregate
         of 10,857 shares of the Company's Series C preferred stock at an
         exercise price of $9.21 per share. This warrant was exercisable
         immediately and expires on March 13, 2005. Additional warrants to
         purchase an aggregate of 21,715 shares of the Company's Series C
         preferred stock was issued on May 12, 2000, and further warrants are to
         be granted under the agreement as of each 30th day thereafter, so long
         as the borrowings are outstanding. The number of Series C preferred
         shares to be issued under each subsequent warrant is determined by
         multiplying the then outstanding principal amount under the revolving
         credit loan by a factor of 0.10, and dividing by the exercise price of
         the warrants. The exercise price of the warrants is the lesser of (i)
         $9.21 per share, or (ii) $5.53 per share if borrowings under the loan
         have not been repaid 60 days following its maturity date. The term of
         these additional warrants will be five years from the date of issuance.
         Total warrants to be issued under these terms cannot exceed an
         aggregate exercise price of $800,000.

         On February 9, 2000, a reseller filed suit against the Company in the
         Superior Court of California, seeking specific performance for certain
         alleged obligations of the Company or an award of actual consequential
         and punitive damages and recovery of all legal costs. The suit alleges,
         among other things, that the Company materially breached obligations
         under certain contractual agreements and committed acts of fraud
         against the plaintiff. Subsequent motions were filed and granted,
         moving the venue of the case to the federal courts. Motions to move the
         case to the Massachusetts state courts were filed on March 17, 2000. On
         April 10, 2000, the Company filed a motion to dismiss all claims, and
         on May 19,2000, the court dismissed the resellers claims for improper
         venue. Discovery on these claims has not yet begun, and, therefore, the
         Company cannot predict the outcome or range of possible loss, if any.
         The Company intends to vigorously defend against these claims.

         On February 10, 2000, the Board of Directors approved the NextPoint
         Networks, Inc. 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, with an authorization to
         grant awards of up to 750,000 shares of common stock.

         On July 7, 2000, the Company was acquired by NetScout Systems, Inc.

         prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
         for interim financial information. 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 the Company's management, the June 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 six-month period ended
         June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results of
         operations that may be expected for any future period.

         The balance sheet as of December 31, 1999 has been derived from the
         audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of

               UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information gives effect
to the acquisition by NetScout Systems, Inc. ("NetScout") of NextPoint
Networks, Inc. ("NextPoint") on July 7, 2000 in a transaction to be accounted
for using the purchase method. The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet
is based on the individual balance sheets of NetScout and NextPoint and has
been prepared as if the acquisition by NetScout of NextPoint occurred on June
30, 2000. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations are based
on the individual statements of operations of NetScout and NextPoint, and
combines the results of operations of NetScout for the year ended March 31,
2000 and NextPoint for the year ended December 31, 1999 as if the acquisition
occurred on April 1, 1999 and the results of operations of NetScout for the
three months ended June 30, 2000 and NextPoint for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 as if the acquisition occurred on April 1, 2000. The
allocation of the purchase price to tangible and intangible assets, including
deferred income taxes, as well as the related amortization expense, is
preliminary and based on estimates only and may change materially as a result
of the completion of NetScout's evaluation of the fair value of the net
assets acquired.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information is presented for
illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the financial
position or operating results that would have been achieved if the acquisition
had been consummated as of the beginning of the period presented, nor are they
necessarily indicative of the future financial position or operating results of
NetScout. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not give
effect to any cost savings or restructuring and integration costs which may
result from the integration of NetScout and NextPoint's operations. Such costs
related to restructuring and integration have not yet been determined and
NetScout expects to charge such costs to operations during the quarter incurred.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information should be read in
conjunction with NetScout's audited consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31,
2000 and its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30,
2000 and NextPoint's financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 8-K/A.

            NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1.   PRO FORMA BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ADJUSTMENTS

The foregoing unaudited pro forma combined financial information gives effect
to the acquisition by NetScout of NextPoint in a transaction accounted for
using the purchase method. The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet is
based on the individual balance sheets of NetScout and NextPoint and has been
prepared as if the acquisition by NetScout of NextPoint occurred on June 30,
2000. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations are based on
the individual statements of operations of NetScout and NextPoint, and
combines the results of operations of NetScout for the year ended March 31,
2000 and NextPoint for the year ended December 31, 1999 as if the acquisition
occurred on April 1, 1999 and the results of operations of NetScout for the
three months ended June 30, 2000 and NextPoint for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 as if the acquisition occurred on April 1, 2000.

On July 7, 2000, NetScout acquired all of the outstanding common and preferred
stock of NextPoint in exchange for 1,831,518 shares of NetScout common stock and
$19.5 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 for NextPoint common stock. In addition, 267,602 shares of NetScout
common stock have been reserved and will be issued to two founding shareholders
and employees of NextPoint in accordance with the terms of the acquisition. The
initial value of the

                                      F-28

<PAGE>

acquisition was $52.9 million based on the fair value of the consideration
paid plus direct acquisition costs.

The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary and based on estimates
only. A final allocation of the purchase price will be determined in
NetScout's second quarter and changes will result in a change to the amounts
allocated to tangible and intangible assets, including deferred income taxes,
recorded in connection with the acquisition.

2.       PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS TO PRO FORMA COMBINED CONSOLIDATED
         FINANCIAL INFORMATION

A.       The initial purchase price of $52.9 million is based on the
         consideration paid to NextPoint stockholders including common stock,
         options, warrants and cash, plus acquisition related expenses. For the
         purposes of the presentation of the unaudited pro forma combined
         financial information, NetScout has allocated $1.8 million of the
         purchase price to net liabilities assumed of $0.2 million based on
         the book values as of June 30, 2000, deferred income taxes of
         $1.0 million and deferred compensation of $1.0 million. The
         remainder of $51.1 million has been allocated to intangible assets
         which are expected to include: completed technology, workforce,
         trademarks, noncompetition agreements and goodwill. Based on an
         estimated useful life of three to five years for such intangible
         assets, the unaudited pro forma combined financial information
         includes an adjustment of $12.2 million for the year ended March 31,
         2000 and $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 for
         amortization expense. The allocation of the purchase price to tangible
         and intangible asset, as well as the related amortization expense, may
         change materially as a result of the completion of NetScout's
         evaluation of the fair value of the net assets acquired.

B.       Elimination of NextPoint equity accounts.

C.       Increase in accrued expenses for estimated acquisition related expenses
         of $1.4 million.

D.       Elimination of intercompany balances between NetScout and NextPoint.

E.       Decrease in interest income resulting from cash payment of $19.5
         million and the repayment of notes payable of $3.3 million.

F.       Decrease in notes payable to reflect NetScout repayment subsequent to
         the acquisition.

G.       Decrease in provision for income taxes as a result of the various pro
         forma adjustments.

H.       The net effect of an increase in deferred income tax assets for
         applicable net operating losses acquired from NextPoint and an
         increase in deferred income tax liabilities related to intangible
         assets, other than goodwill.

                                      F-29

<PAGE>

I.       Increase in deferred compensation and additional paid-in capital for
         the fair value of common stock to be issued to two founding
         shareholders and employees of NextPoint as they remain continuously
         employed by NetScout through June 30, 2002.

J.       Elimination of stock-based compensation expense related to options
         issued by NextPoint prior to the acquisition.

K.       Increase in research and development, sales and marketing, and general
         and administrative expense for the amortization of deferred
         compensation on unvested options issued by NetScout in exchange for
         unvested NextPoint options and for the amortization of deferred
         compensation on common stock issued to two founding shareholders and
         employees of NextPoint during the unaudited pro forma period presented.

L.       Basic and diluted net loss per share assumes that the 1,831,518 shares
         of NetScout's common stock issued in the acquisition were outstanding
         for the entire period and assumes that 46,138 and 22,097 shares of
         NetScout's common stock were issued to two founding shareholders and
         employees of NextPoint as they remained continuously employed by
         NetScout during the unaudited pro forma combined statements of
         operations for the year ended March 31, 2000 and for the three months
         ended June 30, 2000, respectively. All potential common stock have
         been excluded from the calculation of pro forma net loss per share
         as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
