                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

     GlobeSpan,  Inc.  ("GlobeSpan"  or the  "Company")  is a leading  worldwide
developer of advanced digital  subscriber line (DSL)  integrated  circuits which
enable  high-speed  data  transmission  over  the  existing  network  of  copper
telephone wires known as the local loop.  GlobeSpan sells integrated circuits as
chip sets to  manufacturers  of DSL  equipment for  incorporation  into products
which are sold to telecommunications service providers and end users.

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

     The  accompanying  unaudited  consolidated  financial  statements have been
prepared by GlobeSpan  and reflect all  adjustments,  consisting  only of normal
recurring  adjustments,  which in the opinion of  management  are  necessary  to
present  fairly the  financial  position and the results of  operations  for the
interim  periods.  The balance  sheet at December 31, 1999 has been derived from
audited  financial  statements at that date. The financial  statements have been
prepared in  accordance  with the  regulations  of the  Securities  and Exchange
Commission,  but omit certain information and footnote  disclosure  necessary to
present  the  statements  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted   accounting
principles.  Certain  reclassifications  have been made to  conform  prior  year
financial statements to the current year presentation.  For further information,
refer to the  financial  statements  and notes thereto  included in  GlobeSpan's
Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
March 30, 2000.  Results for the interim periods are not necessarily  indicative
of results for the entire fiscal year.

Stock Split

     On January 21, 2000,  the Company's  board of directors  approved a 3-for-1
stock split applicable to all issued and outstanding shares of our common stock,
par value  $0.001.  This 3-for-1 stock split was effected in the form of a stock
dividend and became effective on February 25, 2000, when  stockholders of record
received two  additional  shares of common stock for each  outstanding  share of
common stock held as of the record date.

Earnings Per Share

     The Company has adopted  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.
128,  Earnings per Share ("FAS 128"),  which requires the  presentation of basic
earnings per share ("Basic EPS") and diluted  earnings per share ("Diluted EPS")
by all entities  that have  publicly  traded  common  stock or potential  common
stock. Basic EPS is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders
by the weighted average number of common shares  outstanding  during the period.
Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive  potential  common  shares  outstanding
during the period.

     As of September 30, 2000 and 1999, the Company had outstanding  options and
warrants to purchase an aggregate of 16,455,725  and 6,934,152  shares of common
stock, respectively,  which were not included in the calculation of earnings per
share for such periods, due to the anti-dilutive nature of these instruments.

Inventories

Inventories,  substantially  all of which are finished goods,  are stated at the
lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis.


                                       4

Revenue Recognition

     Revenue from product  sales is  recognized  upon  shipment to the customer,
when no  significant  vendor  obligations  exist and collection of the resulting
receivable is probable. Substantially all of our revenue is from product sales.

Concentration of Risk and Customer Information

     Three customers accounted for 31.0%, 18.0% and 15.7% of net revenues in the
three months ended  September 30, 2000. For the three months ended September 30,
1999,  three  customers  accounted  for  48.9%,  9.3% and 4.9% of net  revenues,
respectively.  For the nine months ended  September  30, 2000,  three  customers
accounted for 30.1%, 18.7% and 10.9% of net revenues, respectively. For the nine
months ended September 30, 1999, three customers  accounted for 46.1%,  7.7% and
7.2% of net revenues, respectively.

     At  September  30,  2000  and  December  31,  1999,  five of the  Company's
customers   accounted   for  76.8%  and  67.1%  of  net   accounts   receivable,
respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In December  1999 the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  issued  Staff
Accounting Bulletin 101 (SAB 101), as amended in June 2000, which summarizes the
staff's views in applying  generally accepted  accounting  principles to revenue
recognition in financial  statements.  The Company will adopt SAB 101 during the
fourth quarter of 2000.  The adoption will not have a significant  effect on our
consolidated results of operations or financial position.

     In June 1998,  FASB issued FAS No. 133,  "Accounting  for  Derivatives  and
Hedging  Activities," which establishes  accounting and reporting  standards for
derivative  instruments,  including certain derivative  instruments  embedded in
other  contracts  and for hedging  activities.  FAS No. 133 is effective for all
fiscal quarters or fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000, as amended by FAS
No.  137,  "Accounting  for  Derivative  Instruments  and Hedging  Activities  -
Deferral of the Effective  Date of FASB Statement No. 133," issued in June 1999.
The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a significant
impact  on  the  Company's  consolidated  results  of  operations  or  financial
position.

2.   Acquisitions

     On January 31, 2000, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding
shares of Ficon Technology,  Inc. ("Ficon"),  a leading provider of solutions in
the areas of IP, ATM and Voice over Packet,  which enable  service  providers to
build  next  generation  communications  infrastructure.   The  acquisition  was
accounted for as a purchase transaction.  The Company acquired such Ficon shares
for $5 million in cash and the right for Ficon  shareholders  to receive up to a
maximum of 1,959,999  shares of the company's  common stock.  A portion of these
shares  may be issued in the  future  based  upon the  continued  employment  of
certain Ficon shareholders and the completion of development milestones mutually
agreed to by the parties.

     On February 24, 2000, the Company acquired certain technology and employees
of the  Microelectronics  Group of  PairGain  Technologies,  Inc.  ("PairGain"),
designers  of  integrated  circuits  and  software  for  DSL  applications.  The
acquisition  was  accounted  for as a purchase  transaction.  The  Company  paid
3,243,591  shares of its  common  stock and issued to  PairGain a $90.0  million
subordinated  redeemable  convertible  note (the "Note").  The terms of the Note
gave the  Company the option to redeem the Note,  in cash,  within the first six
months after its issue,  or thereafter,  be converted at the option of PairGain,
into 2,919,237  shares of the Company's  common stock.  The Company redeemed the
Note for a cash  payment of $90.0  million  during the three month  period ended
September  30,  2000,  plus  interest,  which  accrued at an annual rate of 5.0%
through the date of  redemption.  In connection  with the repayment of the Note,
the Company  recognized  the redemption of the  beneficial  conversion  feature,
previously recorded,  for $47.3 million and a gain on the associated  redemption
of $43.4 million  during the third quarter of 2000.  The  beneficial  conversion
feature was recorded upon issuance of the Note and reflected the intrinsic value
of the  beneficial  conversion  feature.  Such amount was  amortized as interest
expense  non-cash over the period the  beneficial  conversion  feature was first
available.  For the three and nine month periods ended  September 30, 2000 $10.4
million  and  $43.4  million  were  recorded  as  interest   expense   non-cash,
respectively.

     On April 27,  2000,  we acquired all the issued and  outstanding  shares of
T.sqware,  Inc. ("T.sqware"),  a provider of fully programmable scalable network
processors  supporting  high  speed data  communications.  The  transaction  was
accounted  for as a purchase  transaction.  We paid for these  shares by issuing
2,022,182  shares of our own common stock and assuming the outstanding  T.sqware
options for the equivalent of 177,569 options to purchase our common stock.

     On June 30, 2000, we acquired all of the issued and  outstanding  shares of
iCompression,  Inc., ("iCompression"),  a supplier of advanced signal processing
technology for delivering voice, video and data for the broadband infrastructure
in  applications  such as broadband  video  conferencing.  The  transaction  was
accounted  for as a purchase  transaction.  We paid for these  shares by issuing
3,470,152  shares of our common stock and assuming the outstanding  iCompression
options for the equivalent of 529,727 options to purchase our common stock.

     On September 21, 2000, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares
of ATecoM  Inc.,  ("ATecoM"),  a provider  of  technology  which  allows for the
transmission  of video over ATM  ("asynchronous  transfer mode")  networks.  The
transaction  was  accounted  for as a  purchase  transaction.  We paid for these
shares by  issuing  42,668  shares of our own  common  stock  and  assuming  the
outstanding  ATecoM  options for the equivalent of 8,446 options to purchase our
common stock.

     The following is a summary of all  consideration  paid for the acquisitions
of Ficon, PairGain,  T.sqware,  iCompression,  and ATecoM during the nine months
ended September 30, 2000:

       Fair value of common stock issued                          $686,468
       Subordinated redeemable convertible note issued              90,000

                                                                  --------
       Total purchase price                                       $791,386

     The assets and liabilities of the acquired  entities were recorded at their
appraised fair market value at the dates of acquisition. The allocations were as
follows:

       Cash and short term investments                            $ 36,364
       Accounts receivable                                           1,022
       Prepaid and other assets                                      2,297
       Property and equipment                                        4,441
       Goodwill and intangibles                                    733,452
                                                                  --------
                                                                   777,576

       In process research and development                          44,854
       Liabilities assumed                                         (31,044)
                                                                  --------
       Total purchase price                                       $791,386
                                                                  ========

     All of the  acquisitions  have been  included in the  Company's  results of
operations  from their  effective  dates.  The excess of purchase price over the
fair value of net assets  acquired,  reflected as  intangible  assets,  is being
amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from two to four years.

     The amount  allocated to in process  research and development  ("IPR&D") of
$44.9  million was expensed  upon  acquisition,  as it was  determined  that the
underlying  projects had not reached technical  feasibility,  had no alternative
future use and successful  development  was uncertain.  In the allocation of the
acquisition  purchase price to IPR&D,  consideration  was given to the following
for the project at the time of the acquisition:

-    the  present  value of the  forecasted  cash  flows  and  income  that were
     expected to result from the project;
-    the status of the project;
-    completion costs;
-    project risks;
-    the value of core technology; and
-    the stage of completion of the project


                                       6
<PAGE>

     In valuing core technology, the relative allocations to core technology and
IPR&D  were  consistent  with the  relative  contribution  of the  project.  The
determination  of the value of IPR&D was based on  efforts  completed  as of the
date the respective entities were acquired.

     Some of the shares of common  stock issued to the  principals  of Ficon are
subject to  forfeiture  if their  employment  ceases with the  Company,  and are
recorded  as  deferred  stock  compensation.  The  deferred  stock  compensation
recorded was $28.8  million,  which  reflects the estimated fair value of common
stock issued.  This amount is being amortized over the three year vesting period
on a straight line basis.

     The Company also granted  stock options to  employees,  including  those of
other acquired  entities,  at various  discounts to fair market value as part of
its long-term employee retention strategy and has recorded  additional  deferred
stock  compensation  associated  with  such  option  grants  amounting  to $60.8
million,  during the nine months ended  September  30, 2000.  These  amounts are
being  amortized over vesting periods ranging from six months to four years on a
straight line basis.

     The following  unaudited pro forma information  represents a summary of the
results of operations as if the Ficon,  Pairgain,  T.sqware,  iCompression,  and
ATecoM acquisitions occurred on January 1, 1999.

     The  pro  forma  results  are  based  on  various  assumptions  and are not
necessarily  indicative of what would have occurred had these  transactions been
consummated  on January 1, 1999.  The $44.9 million of IPR&D are included in all
periods presented.

3.   Supplemental Cash Flow Data:

     The Company acquired cash of approximately $31.9 million in connection with
the  acquisitions  of  T.sqware  and  iCompression  completed  during the second
quarter of 2000 and used cash of approximately  $12.9 million in connection with
the purchases of Ficon,  certain technology and employees of PairGain and ATecoM
completed during the first quarter and third quarters of 2000,  resulting in net
cash received from  acquisitions of approximately  $19.0 million during the nine
month period ended September 30, 2000 as follows:

4.   Related Party Transactions

     In March 1999, the Company and Paradyne Corporation agreed to terminate the
Cooperative   Development   Agreement.   In  connection  with  such  termination
agreement, the Company agreed to pay Paradyne an aggregate of $1.5 million, less
the amounts previously paid of approximately $0.4 million (or approximately $1.1
million) to  terminate  the July  discount  pricing  arrangement  with  Paradyne
Corporation. Such payment was made in July 1999 and was charged to cost of sales
during the three  months  ended  March 31,  1999.  In  addition,  GlobeSpan  and
Paradyne  Corporation  as part of the  Termination  Agreement  affirmed that the
earlier technology license provisions of the Cooperative  Development  Agreement
were never  implemented.  In  conjunction  with the  signing of the  Termination
Agreement,  GlobeSpan  and  Paradyne  Corporation  also entered into a four-year
Supply Agreement which gave Paradyne Corporation  preferential pricing and other
terms  in  connection  with  the  sale by  GlobeSpan  of  products  to  Paradyne
Corporation. In addition, under the terms of the Supply Agreement,  GlobeSpan is
required to honor  Paradyne  Corporation's  orders for  GlobeSpan's  products in
quantities  at  least  consistent  with  Paradyne  Corporation's  past  ordering
practices and must afford  Paradyne  Corporation  at least the same priority for
Paradyne  Corporation's orders as GlobeSpan affords its other similarly situated
customers.  GlobeSpan  also granted  Paradyne  Corporation  a standard  customer
immunity under GlobeSpan's  intellectual  property rights with respect to any of
Paradyne  Corporation's  products which incorporate  GlobeSpan's  products.  Net
revenues for the three months ended  September 30, 1999 were $1.6  million.  Net
revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 were $8.9 million
and $2.7 million, respectively.

5.   Stockholders' Equity

     On August 2, 2000,  we completed a follow-on  public  offering of 8,625,000
million  shares  of common  stock at a price of  $100.00  per  share  (including
1,125,000 shares sold by selling  shareholders upon exercise by the underwriters
of their over-allotment  option). Of the 8.6 million shares of common stock, 1.4
million shares were sold by the Company, resulting in proceeds from the offering
of $134.0 million, net of related expenses,  and 7.2 million shares were sold by
selling  shareholders.  The Company did not receive any of the proceeds from the
sales of shares by the selling shareholders.  The Company used the proceeds from
this offering to repay the subordinated redeemable convertible note issued by us
in connection  with our acquisition of the  Microelectronics  Group of PairGain,
and the  balance is intended to be for  general  corporate  purposes,  including
working capital, sales and marketing  expenditures,  development of new products
and services and acquisitions.

6.   Income Taxes

     The Company  recorded a provision  for income taxes of $8.2 million for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2000. This provision is comprised of a
current expense of $9.7 million,  net of a deferred benefit of $1.5 million. The
Company  had  taxable  losses in  previous  years,  for  which a full  valuation
allowance  was recorded  against the tax  benefits.  The  provision  reflects an
effective  tax rate of 7.5% for the nine months ended  September  30, 2000.  The
difference  between the effective  rate and the statutory rate of 35% relates to
permanent  differences  resulting from IPR&D and  non-deductible  goodwill,  and
changes in the  valuation  allowance,  net of the  utilization  of net operating
losses.  The provision for income taxes excludes current tax benefits related to
the exercise of stock options credited directly to stockholders'  equity of $8.7
million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000.

Results of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999

Net  Revenues.  Our net revenues  were $110.3  million and $17.0  million in the
     three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.  This amounts
     to an increase of 547.9%.  This  increase in net revenues was primarily due
     to the increase in unit volume shipments to existing  customers,  expansion
     of our customer base, introduction of new products and, to a lesser extent,
     net revenues from acquired businesses.

Cost of Sales and Gross  Profit.  Our gross  profit was $65.2  million and $10.4
     million  in  the  three   months  ended   September   30,  2000  and  1999,
     respectively.  This amount  represents  an  increase  of 524.3%.  Our gross
     margin was 59.1% and 61.3% in the three months ended September 30, 2000 and
     1999,  respectively.  The  decrease  in gross  margin was  related to lower
     average selling prices due to increased unit volume  shipped.  The increase
     in gross profit  dollars was the result of higher net  revenues.  We expect
     gross  margins  may  decrease  in the  future  due to a number of  factors,
     including  pressures on average  selling  prices,  product mix and customer
     mix.

Research and  Development.  Our research  and  development  expenses  were $29.1
     million and $6.9 million in the three months ended  September  30, 2000 and
     1999, respectively.  This amount represents an increase of 320.4%. Research
     and development  expenses  represented  26.5% and 40.7% of net revenues for
     the three  months  ended  September  30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  The
     increase  in  dollars  is the  result  of  the  inclusion  of  acquisitions
     completed  during the current  fiscal  year and an increase in  development
     efforts in advance of anticipated  revenues from such efforts. In addition,
     we added new personnel and related support from acquisitions and new hiring
     and  incurred  higher  amounts of  engineering  expenses.  The  decrease in
     research and development expense as a percentage of net revenues was due to
     higher net revenues.  Our research and development  expense may increase in
     the future due to planned  additional  increases in  personnel  and related
     support  expenses,   prototyping  costs  and  depreciation  resulting  from
     increased capital investment.

Selling, General and  Administrative.  Our selling,  general and  administrative
     expense was $14.7 and $4.3 million for the three months ended September 30,
     2000 and 1999, respectively.  This amount represents an increase of 239.8%.
     Selling,  general and administrative expense represented 13.3% and 25.4% of
     net  revenues  for the three  months  ended  September  30,  2000 and 1999,
     respectively.  The increase in dollars resulted from the increase in sales,
     marketing  and  administrative  personnel  and related  expenses  including
     expenses from our acquisitions,  increased  commissions and  administrative
     costs.   This  decrease  in  the   percentage   of  selling,   general  and
     administrative  expense as a  percentage  of net revenues was due to higher
     net revenues. Our selling,  general and administrative expense may increase
     in the  future  due to  increases  in  personnel,  higher  commissions  and
     administrative costs.

Amortization of Intangible Assets.  During the nine month period ended September
     30, 2000, we completed several acquisitions.  The increase in dollar amount
     and percentage of amortization  expense is the result of our amortizing the
     intangible assets acquired.

Non-cash Compensation. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2000, we
     granted certain employees stock options at less than fair market value. The
     deferred  stock recorded is being  amortized  over the  respective  vesting
     periods  ranging from six months to four years.  The increase in the dollar
     amount  and  percentage  of  non-cash  compensation  is the  result  of our
     amortizing the deferred compensation.

Interest  (Income)  Expense,  Net.  Interest  expense for the three months ended
     September  30, 2000 was $0.9  million,  offset by  interest  income of $1.7
     million,  resulting in net interest  income of $0.8  million.  Net interest
     income for the three  months  ended  September  30, 1999 was $0.6  million,
     which  resulted  from interest on cash  balances.  The increase in interest
     expense  of $.9  million  was  primarily  the  result  of  interest  on our
     subordinated  redeemable  convertible note. The increase in interest income
     of $1.1 million was the result of investment of excess cash balances.


                                       10

Interest  Expense  Non-cash.  We  amortized  $43.4  million  of  the  beneficial
     conversion  feature  through  August  9,  2000,  the  date  we  repaid  the
     subordinated redeemable convertible note. The increase in the dollar amount
     and  percentage  of  interest   expense  non-cash  is  the  result  of  our
     amortization.

Provision for income taxes.  The income tax  provision of $8.2 million  recorded
     during the third quarter of 2000 represents a provision of 26.0%, excluding
     the tax effect of  non-cash  interest  expense and the  extraordinary  gain
     related  to  the  subordinated   redeemable   convertible  note  issued  in
     connection with the PairGain acquisition. The effective rate is impacted by
     permanent differences which resulted from the Company's  acquisitions,  and
     changes in the valuation allowance, net of the utilization of net operating
     losses.

Extraordinary  Gain.  In  connection  with  the  repayment  of the  subordinated
     redeemable   convertible  note  issued  by  us  to  PairGain,  the  Company
     recognized  a gain of $43.4  million on the  redemption  of the  beneficial
     conversion feature.


Results of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999

Net  Revenues.  Our net revenues  were $217.3  million and $35.1  million in the
     nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  This amounts
     to an increase of 519.0%.  This  increase in net revenues was primarily due
     to the increase in unit volume shipments to existing  customers,  expansion
     of our customer base, introduction of new products and, to a lesser extent,
     net revenues from acquired businesses.

Cost of Sales and Gross  Profit.  Our gross profit was $131.4  million and $21.3
     million in the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
     This amount  represents  an increase of 517.6%.  Our gross margin was 60.4%
     and  60.6%  in  the  nine  months  ended   September  30,  2000  and  1999,
     respectively.  The slight  decrease  in gross  margin was  related to lower
     average  selling prices due to increased unit volume  shipped,  offset by a
     one-time  termination  charge  related  to  the  termination  of a  royalty
     agreement with Paradyne  Corporation in the nine months ended September 30,
     1999.  Without  this  termination  charge,  our gross  margins  would  have
     decreased from 63.8% to 60.4%. The increase in gross profit dollars was the
     result of higher net revenues.  We expect gross margins may decrease in the
     future due to a number of factors,  including  pressures on average selling
     prices, product mix and customer mix.

Research and  Development.  Our research  and  development  expenses  were $63.2
     million and $17.8  million in the nine months ended  September 30, 2000 and
     1999, respectively.  This amount represents an increase of 255.1%. Research
     and development expense represented 29.0% and 50.7% of net revenues for the
     nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  The increase
     in dollars is the result of the inclusion of acquisitions  completed during
     the nine months  ended  September  30, 2000 and an increase in  development
     efforts in advance of anticipated  revenues from such efforts. In addition,
     we added new personnel and related support from acquisitions and new hiring
     and incurred higher amounts of engineering  expenses and one-time licensing
     fees related to new  products.  The  decrease in research  and  development
     expense as a percentage of net revenues was due to higher net revenues. Our
     research and development  expense may increase in the future due to planned
     additional increases in personnel and related support expenses, prototyping
     costs and depreciation resulting from increased capital investment.

Selling, General and  Administrative.  Our selling,  general and  administrative
     expense was $32.1 and $10.2 million for the nine months ended September 30,
     2000 and 1999, respectively.  This amount represents an increase of 214.3%.
     Selling,  general and administrative expense represented 14.8% and 29.1% of
     net  revenues  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000 and  1999,
     respectively.  The increase in dollars resulted from the increase in sales,
     marketing  and  administrative  personnel  and related  expenses  including
     expenses from our acquisitions,  increased  commissions and  administrative
     costs.   The   decrease  in  the   percentage   of  selling,   general  and
     administrative  expense as a  percentage  of net revenues was due to higher
     net revenues. Our selling,  general and administrative expense may increase
     in the  future  due to  increases  in  personnel,  higher  commissions  and
     administrative costs.

Amortization of Intangible Assets.  During the nine month period ended September
     30, 2000, we completed several acquisitions.  The increase in dollar amount
     and percentage of amortization  expense is the result of our amortizing the
     intangible assets acquired.

Non-cash  Compensation.  During the nine months ended  September  30,  2000,  we
     exchanged our common stock with employee  principals of an acquired  entity
     which was considered  compensation  and we granted certain  employees stock
     options at less than fair market  value.  The deferred  stock  compensation
     recorded is being  amortized over the respective  vesting  periods  ranging
     from six  months to four  years.  The  increase  in the  dollar  amount and
     percentage in non-cash  compensation  is the result of our  amortizing  the
     deferred stock compensation.

In-Process Research and Development.  During the nine months ended September 30,
     2000, our  acquisitions of Ficon  Technologies,  Inc.,  T.sqware,  Inc. and
     iCompression,  Inc.,  each had development  projects not yet complete.  The
     amounts allocated to in-process research and development  ("IPR&D")of $44.9
     million  was  expensed  upon  acquisition,  as it was  determined  that the
     underlying  projects  had not  reached  technological  feasibility,  had no
     future  alternative use and successful  development  was uncertain.  In the
     allocation of the acquisition  purchase price to IPR&D,  consideration  was
     given to the present  value of  forecasted  cash flows and income that were
     expected from the projects,  the status of the projects,  completion costs,
     project  risks,  the  value  of the  core  technology,  and  the  stage  of
     completion  of each  project.  In valuing  core  technology,  the  relative
     allocations to core  technology and IPR&D were consistent with the relative
     contributions  of the  projects.  The  determination  of IPR&D was based on
     efforts completed as of the date the respective entities were acquired.

Interest  (Income)  Expense,  Net.  Interest  expense for the nine months  ended
     September  30,  2000 was $2.6  million  offset by  interest  income of $3.3
     million  resulting in net  interest  income of $0.7  million.  Net interest
     income for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was $0.3 million, which
     resulted from interest income of $0.7 million,  offset by interest  expense
     of $0.4 million.  The increase in interest expense was primarily the result
     of interest on our subordinated  redeemable  convertible note. The increase
     in interest income was the result of investment of excess cash balances.

Interest  Expense  Non-cash.  We  amortized  $43.4  million  of  the  beneficial
     conversion  feature  through  August  9,  2000,  the  date  we  repaid  the
     subordinated redeemable convertible note. The increase in the dollar amount
     and  percentage  of  interest  expense,  non-cash  is  the  result  of  our
     amortization.

Provision for income taxes. The income tax provision of $8.2 million  recognized
     during the third  quarter of 2000,  represents  a provision  of 7.5% of the
     loss after  extraordinary  gain,  and  reflects the  Company's  anticipated
     effective  tax rate for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000.  The
     effective rate is impacted by permanent differences which resulted from the
     Company's acquisitions,  and changes in the valuation allowance, net of the
     utilization of net operating losses.

Extraordinary  Gain.  In  connection  with  the  repayment  of the  subordinated
     redeemable   convertible  note  issued  by  us  to  PairGain,  the  Company
     recognized  a gain of $43.4  million on the  redemption  of the  beneficial
     conversion feature.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

     As of September 30, 2000, we had working  capital of  approximately  $123.8
million,  $91.6  million  in cash and cash  equivalents  and  $10.1  million  in
short-term marketable securities.

     Net cash  provided by  operating  activities  was $5.0  million in the nine
months  ended  September  30,  2000,  compared  to net  cash  used in  operating
activities  of $6.1 million in the nine months  ended  September  30, 1999.  The
increase  was  primarily  due to higher  revenues  during the nine months  ended
September 30, 2000 compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 1999.

     Investing  activities,  which primarily consisted of net cash received from
the acquisition of businesses of $19.0 million, amounted to $14.9 million during
the nine months ended  September  30, 2000.  Purchases of property and equipment
and  marketable  securities  of  $12.1  and  $7.4  million,  respectively,  were
partially  offset by proceeds from the  maturities of marketable  securities and
the sale of an intangible asset of $14.9 million and $.5 million,  respectively,
during the nine months ended September 30, 2000.

     Cash flows  provided by financing  activities of $46.9  million  during the
nine months ended  September  30, 2000  primarily  consisted of proceeds  from a
follow-on  public offering and other proceeds from the issuances of common stock
of  $136.8  million,  offset  by a $90.0  million  repayment  of a  subordinated
redeemable  convertible  note issued by us in connection with our acquisition of
the Microelectronics Group of PairGain.


                                       12
<PAGE>

     We believe  that our sources of  capital,  including  internally  generated
funds  and the net  proceeds  from our  follow-on  public  offering,  after  the
repayment of the subordinated  redeemable  convertible note, will be adequate to
satisfy our  anticipated  working capital and capital  expenditure  needs for at
least one year. After that, we may need to raise additional funds, and we cannot
be certain  that we will be able to obtain  additional  financing  on  favorable
terms, if at all. We may also require  additional capital for the acquisition of
businesses  and  products  and  technologies  that  are  complimentary  to ours.
Further,  if we  issue  equity  securities,  the  ownership  percentage  of  our
stockholders  would be reduced,  and the new equity  securities may have rights,
preferences  or  privileges  senior to those of  existing  holders of our common
stock. If we can not raise needed funds on acceptable  terms, we may not be able
to develop or enhance our products,  take advantage of future  opportunities  or
respond to  competitive  pressures or  unanticipated  requirements,  which could
seriously harm our business, operating results or financial condition.

Although We Experienced No Significant Year 2000 Disruptions We Will Continue to
Monitor Developments

     The "Year 2000 Issue"  refers  generally to the problems that some software
may have in  determining  the  correct  century of the year.  In late  1999,  we
completed  our Year 2000  compliance  project.  As a result of our  efforts,  we
experienced no significant disruptions related to Year 2000. We are not aware of
any material problems resulting from Year 2000 issues, either with our products,
our internal systems, or the products and services of suppliers. The incremental
costs  related to the Year 2000  project were not material to the our results of
operations,  financial  position  or cash  flows.  We have not  experienced  any
significant  issues  and will  continue  to  monitor  throughout  Year  2000 our
critical computer applications,  and those of our suppliers,  to ensure that any
Year 2000 matters that may arise are addressed promptly.


Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

     The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal
while at the same time  maximizing  the income we receive  from our  investments
without significantly increasing risk. Some of the securities that we may invest
in may be  subject  to market  risk.  This  means  that a change  in  prevailing
interest  rates may cause the principal  amount of the  investment to fluctuate.
For example, if we hold a security that was issued with a fixed interest rate at
the  then-prevailing  rate and the  prevailing  interest  rate later rises,  the
principal amount of our investment will probably decline.  To minimize this risk
in the future,  we intend to maintain  our  portfolio  of cash  equivalents  and
short-term  investments in a variety of securities,  including commercial paper,
money  market  funds,   government  and   non-government   debt  securities  and
certificates  of deposit.  As of September  30, 2000,  substantially  all of our
investments  were in money  market  funds,  certificates  of  deposits,  or high
quality commercial paper.
