INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Polaris Communications, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Polaris Communications, Inc.
as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related statements of operations,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1999. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Polaris Communications, Inc. as
of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1999 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

POLARIS COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
Notes to Financial Statements
(1) DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) BACKGROUND
Polaris Communications, Inc., founded in 1988 and incorporated
in the State of Oregon, designs, develops and markets computer
communication interfaces and systems. The Company's primary
focus is on high-speed connectivity to IBM and plug-compatible
mainframe channels.
(b) 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.
(c) RISK AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Company's products are concentrated in the network storage
industry which is highly competitive and subject to rapid
technological change. The Company's products are manufactured
under contract by one supplier. The loss of a major customer,
interruption of product from the contract manufacturer or
significant technological change in the industry could affect
operating results adversely.
(d) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and on
deposit. The Company considers highly liquid investments with
original maturities of three months or less to be cash
equivalents. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, cash equivalents
consisted of money market funds and mutual funds and were
deposited with one financial institution. While the Company's
cash and cash equivalents are on deposit with a high quality
FDIC insured financial institution, at times such deposits
exceed insured limits. The Company has not experienced any
losses in such accounts.
(e) ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts receivable are net of an allowance for doubtful
accounts of $26,000 and $-0- at December 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.
(f) INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
determined using the first-in, first-out method, net of an
allowance for old and obsolete items.
F-7
<PAGE> 10
POLARIS COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
Notes to Financial Statements
(g) PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
The Company's property and equipment are recorded at cost.
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally three
to five years for equipment and computer software and seven years
for office furniture and fixtures. Expenditures that increase the
value or extend the life of the assets are capitalized, while the
cost of maintenance and repairs is expensed as incurred. Upon
retirement or disposition of assets, the cost and related
accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and the
related gains or losses are reflected in operations.
(h) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The fair values of the Company's cash and cash equivalents,
accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses
approximate carrying value due to their short maturities.
(i) REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenue upon shipment of goods to its
customers for product sales. Service revenue is recognized upon
certain milestones being met or upon the completion of the
contract.
(j) RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
(k) INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the asset
and liability method. Under the asset and liability method,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the expected
future tax consequences of temporary differences between the
financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using
enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences
are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when
necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to
be realized.
(l) CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to
concentration of credit risk consist primarily of trade accounts
receivable. The Company extends credit to its customers based upon
an evaluation of the customer's financial condition and credit
history and generally does not require collateral. The Company has
historically incurred minimal credit losses.
The Company had one significant customer in 1999, 1998 and 1997
that accounted for greater than 10% of the Company's revenues.

Notes to Financial Statements
(m) ADVERTISING COSTS
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising
expenses were $70,181, $95,540, and $29,245 for the years
ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
(n) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the
Financial Accounting Standard Board's Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS 123), Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation. This statement permits a company to
choose either a fair-value-based method of accounting for its
stock-based compensation arrangements with employees or to
comply with the Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25 (APB
Opinion 25) intrinsic-value-based method adding pro forma
disclosures of net (loss) income computed as if the
fair-value-based method had been applied in the financial
statements. The Company applies SFAS No. 123 by retaining the
APB Opinion 25 method of accounting for stock-based
compensation for employees with annual pro forma disclosures
of net (loss) income. Stock-based compensation for
non-employees is accounted for using the fair-value-based
method.
(o) COMPREHENSIVE LOSS
The Company did not have any significant components of other
comprehensive loss for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998
and 1997.
(p) SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company adopted SFAS No. 131, Disclosures About Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information (SFAS 131). Based on
definitions contained within SFAS 131, the Company has
determined that it operates in one segment.
(q) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133). SFAS No. 133
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
financial instruments and hedging activities related to those
instruments, as well as other hedging activities. Because the
Company does not currently hold any derivative instruments and
does not engage in hedging activities, the Company expects
that the adoption of SFAS 133 will not have a material impact
on its financial position, results of operations or cash
flows. The Company will be required to adopt SFAS 133 for the
year ended December 31, 2001 in accordance with FASB SFAS No.
137, which delayed implementation of SFAS 133.

The Company leases office space under a long-term operating lease
agreement which expires on December 31, 2001. Rental expense under this
agreement was approximately $116,487, $98,172 and $98,172 for the years
ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997. The minimum annual future rentals

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant
portions of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are approximately as
follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
1999 1998
---------- ----------
<S> <C> <C>

Total deferred tax assets 119,400 55,000
Less valuation allowance (85,500) --
---------- ----------
Net deferred tax assets $ 33,900 55,000
========== ==========
</TABLE>
The total valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of January 1,
1999 and 1998 was $-0-. The net change in the total valuation allowance
for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 was an increase of
$85,500, $-0- and $-0-, respectively.
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management
considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of
the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of
deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable
income during the periods in which those temporary differences become
deductible. Management considers projected future taxable income and tax
planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the change of
ownership discussed in note 9, management does not believe it is more
likely than not the Company will realize all the benefits of all
deductible differences. Consequently, a valuation allowance has been
established in an amount equal to the deferred tax asset for research and
experimentation credit carryforwards.
At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company has state net operating loss
and contribution carryforwards of approximately $103,000 and $-0-,
respectively, and research and experimentation credit carryforwards of
$93,000 and $27,500, respectively. These carryforwards will expire
between 2003 and 2019.
A provision of the Internal Revenue Code requires the utilization of net
operating losses and research and experimentation credits be limited when
there is a change of more than 50% in ownership of the Company. The net
operating losses and research and experimentation credit carryforwards
will be subject to limitations due to the subsequent ownership change as
discussed in note 9.

(6) RETIREMENT PLAN
The Company sponsors a Simplified Employee Pension Plan (SEP). At the
discretion of management, contributions are made to the SEP Plan on
behalf of employees. All contributions are fully vested. The Company's
contributions to the SEP Plan for the years ended December 31, 1999,
1998 and 1997 were $200,308, $167,930 and $161,885, respectively.
(7) STOCK REPURCHASE
In March 1999, the Company repurchased 100 shares from one of the
Company's founders for $112,500.
(8) STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
Effective March 1999, the Company adopted the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan
(the Plan) which provides for the granting of stock options to
employees, directors and consultants. Under the terms of the Plan,
eligible employees may receive statutory and nonstatutory stock
options, stock bonuses and stock appreciation rights for purchase of
shares of the Company's common stock at prices, vesting, exercisability
and such other terms as determined by the board of directors. Cancelled
options are available for future grant. The Company has reserved 95
shares of its common stock for issuance under the Plan.
The Company has computed, for pro forma disclosure purposes, the value
of all options granted during the year ended December 31, 1999 using
the minimum value method using the following weighted average
assumptions for grants for the year ended December 31, 1999:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Divided yield $ --
Risk-free interest rate 5.1%
Expected life 7 years
</TABLE>
The Company applies Accounting Principle Bulletin Opinion No. 25 in
accounting for stock options issued to employees and directors under
the Plan and, accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized
for these stock options in the financial statements. Had the Company
determined compensation expense based on the fair value at the grant
date for its stock options under Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 123, the Company's net loss would have been
increased to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are
presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of
the combined financial position or results of operations for future periods or
the results that actually would have been realized had Polaris and Crossroads
been a combined company during the specified periods. The pro forma consolidated
financial statements, including the notes thereto, are qualified in their
entirety by reference to, and should be read in conjunction with, the Company's
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three-months
ended January 31, 2000 and in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
October 31, 1999, and the audited financial statements of Polaris as of and for
the three years ended December 31, 1999, which are included within this filing.
The pro forma consolidated financial statements give effect to the acquisition
of Polaris using the purchase method of accounting. The pro forma consolidated
financial statements are based on the historical audited and unaudited financial
statements of Polaris and Crossroads. Polaris' 1999 fiscal year ended December
31, 1999. Crossroads' 1999 fiscal year ended October 31, 1999. The acquired
assets and liabilities of Polaris are stated at values representing the
allocation of the purchase price based upon the estimated fair market values at
the date of acquisition. The unaudited pro forma financial statements also
reflect the amortization of goodwill and other intangibles resulting from the
acquisition.
The pro forma consolidated balance sheet assumes that the business combination
took place January 31, 2000 and combines Polaris' audited December 31, 1999
balance sheet with Crossroads' unaudited January 31, 2000 balance sheet. The pro
forma consolidated statements of operations assume the business combination took
place as of November 1, 1998 and combines Polaris' and Crossroads' unaudited
statements of operations for the three months ended December 31, 1999 and
January 31, 2000, respectively, and Polaris' and Crossroads' audited statements
of operations for the years ended December 31, 1999 and October 31, 1999,
respectively.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The following notes identify the pro forma adjustments made to the historical
amounts in the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements:
(a) The adjustments to the unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet give
effect to the Company's allocation of the Polaris purchase price to the tangible
and intangible assets acquired, based on an independent third-party appraisal.
The purchase price of $46.6 million was based on $44.5 million in Crossroads'
common stock, $1.9 million in Crossroads' stock options exchanged for Polaris'
stock options and other direct acquisition costs estimated to be approximately
$0.2 million. The value of the 428,625 shares of Crossroads' common stock
issued, par value $0.001 per share, is based on the share value of approximately
$103.78 calculated as the average market price of Crossroads common stock during
the five business days immediately preceding and subsequent to the date of the
merger agreement. The value of the Crossroads stock options exchanged for the
Polaris stock options (21,375 equivalent shares) was determined by using the
Black-Scholes valuation model. Any adjustment from the acquisition cost
estimates to actual costs will be recorded later in fiscal 2000 as an adjustment
to goodwill.
The Company's preliminary allocation of the Polaris purchase price of $46.6
million is as follows:
Proven research and development - $1.0 million;
Assembled workforce - $1.8 million;
Customer base - $0.4 million;
Fair value of other tangible assets acquired - $2.4 million; and
Goodwill - $41.0 million.
(b) These adjustments reflect the amortization expense resulting from the
allocation of the purchase price including intangible assets recorded at their
estimated fair market value and the recording of goodwill associated with the
acquisition.
Assigned lives for intangible assets are as follows:
Proven research and development - 3 to 7 years;
Assembled workforce - 4 years;
Customer base - 15 years; and
Goodwill - 3 years.
Assigned lives for property and equipment are as follows:
Machinery and Equipment - 1 to 3 years; and
Furniture and Fixtures - 3 to 5 years;
(c) This adjustment reflects the net effect of the elimination of the historical
capital structure of Polaris from the unaudited pro forma consolidated balance
sheet.

CROSSROADS SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(d) The net deferred tax liability resulting from the temporary differences,
which has arisen out of the Company's purchase business combination with Polaris
(primarily related to the exchange of Crossroads' stock options for Polaris'
stock options and the recording of identifiable intangible assets), has been
offset against the Company's existing valuation allowance for net deferred tax
asset in connection with the purchase accounting for the acquisition.
(e) Since the Pro Forma Statement of Operations results in a loss from
continuing operations, the pro forma basic and diluted loss from continuing
operations per common share are computed by dividing the loss from continuing
operations available to common stockholders' by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding. The calculation of the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding assumes that the 428,625 shares of the Company's
common stock issued in the acquisition of the Polaris were outstanding at the
beginning of the respective periods.
(f) These adjustments reflect the pro forma adjustments required to conform to
the Company's accounting policies as if the acquisition occurred at the
beginning of the period, such as a consistent allocation of overhead,
depreciation and classification of sales commissions and license fees.
