3.  AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

On August 8, 1994, Network Systems Corporation ("NSC") and Storage Technology
Corporation ("STC") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger
Agreement"), pursuant to which a newly formed subsidiary of STC will be merged
(the "Merger") into NSC, with NSC as the surviving corporation and a wholly
owned subsidiary to STC.  In connection with the Merger, each outstanding share
of Common Stock of NSC will be converted into .2618 shares of Common Stock of
STC.  In addition, at the effective time of the Merger, NSC will redeem from its
stockholders all of the rights outstanding under its Amended and Restated Rights
Agreement at a redemption price of $.05 per right.  The Merger is expected to be
completed in January 1995.

With the exception of the $.05 per share for redemption of special preference
stock rights, the Merger is intended to be tax free for federal income tax
purposes to the holders of NSC Common Stock receiving shares of STC Common Stock
and is to be accounted for as a "pooling of interests."

The Merger is subject to various conditions, including the approval of the
stockholders of NSC. If the merger has not been consumated, either party may
terminate the agreement after February 28, 1995. In the event the average
price of STC Common Stock is below $30.37 per share for the ten day trading
period ending two trading days before the closing, the Company may terminate its
obligation to complete the merger unless STC agrees to make an adjustment to
the exchange ratio.

Through September 30, 1994, one-time merger charges of approximately
$540,000 have been deferred. These merger charges will be recognized in the
period the merger is consumated.

4.  ACQUISITION

In September 1994, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Bus-Tech, Inc.,
acquired the assets and assumed certain liabilities of TMD Products, Inc.
("TMD") in return for cash.  The accompanying financial statements include TMD's
results of operations since the acquisition.  The purchase price, including
acquisition expenses, totaled approximately $9,040,000.  The acquired assets and
liabilities have been recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of
acquisition.  The value of software acquired is approximately $8,940,000.  The
acquired software is included in other intangible assets and is being amortized
to cost of sales over its estimated 5-year life.

total revenues for the third quarter 1994 over third quarter 1993 is due to the
addition of revenues from the acquisition of Bytex Corporation ("Bytex")
acquired in fourth quarter 1993.  The increase in total revenues for the nine-
months 1994 over the nine-months 1993 is also due to the addition of revenues
from the Bytex acquisition along with revenues added by the acquisition of Bus-
Tech, Inc. ("BTI") acquired in second quarter 1993. While total revenues
increased in 1994 over the comparable periods of 1993, revenue growth for the
third period of 1994 was lower than expected, largely due to higher
than normal sales personal turnover and managements' loss of focus due to
the pending merges. The Company's shareholders are expected to vote on the
proposed merger in early 1995. The results of the shareholder's vote will remove
the uncertainty about the merger proposal and allow management to focus on the
Company's operations.

Product sales include sales of the Company's family of networking hardware,
licensing of associated software, and other related income.  The Company
summarizes its product revenues by market applications.  For the three-months
ended September 30, 1994 and 1993, market applications for CPU Connection
represented 22 and 22 percent, Channel Extension 22 and 31 percent, and
Internetworking 25 and 17 percent of total revenues, respectively.  For the
nine-months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993, market applications for CPU
Connection represented 23 and 22 percent, Channel Extension 22 and 25 percent,
and Internetworking 24 and 21 percent of total revenues, respectively.

As a percentage of total revenues, sales to customers in the United States
("Domestic") and customers outside the United States ("International") are:

The increase in domestic revenue for the third quarter and nine-months of 1994
over the same periods in 1993 reflects the source of the growth in total
revenues.  The growth in total revenues is the result of the acquisitions of
Bytex and BTI.  Bytex and BTI had fewer international sales channels and due to
their recent acquisition, the Bytex and BTI products have not been fully
integrated into all of the Company's international sales channels.

The Company's management team is continuing with the process of implementing its
strategic plan to re-engineer the Company's operations.  In January the Company
introduced its sales force to a new solutions selling approach.  To provide
products for certain solution packages the Company signed several OEM
agreements.  Finally, the Company reorganized around three strategic business
units.  The strategic business units will be responsible for their products from
product development through marketing of the products.  The Company anticipates
the new solution selling approach and business unit reorganization will take
some time to become effective.  In addition, some of the Company's products are
reaching the end of their product life.  However, with revenue growth from the
Bytex and BTI acquisitions, the Company expects modest increases in revenues for
1994, and with the addition of several new products including its new Enterprise
Routing Switch family of products, increased revenue growth for 1995.

Gross profit as a percentage of total revenues is 1.1 percent lower for the
three-months and .4 percent lower for the nine-months of 1994 than the
comparable periods in 1993.  During second quarter 1994 the Company completed
its movement of the majority of Bytex manufacturing operations to Minneapolis.
The Company believes the cost savings from reducing the number of manufacturing
locations and expected increased in product volume will lead to improvement in
the Company's overall gross profit for 1994.

Research and development costs as a percentage of total revenues increased by
approximately 2 percent for both the third quarter of 1994 and the nine months
of 1994 compared with the same periods in 1993.  The third quarter 1994
expenditures were 25 percent higher than for 1993, and for the nine-months, 1994
expenditures were 36 percent higher than in 1993.  The Company is devoting a
significant amount of resources to reduce the backlog for new product
development.  Through acquisitions, partnerships, and future product
development, the Company is developing the products to meet its commitment to
selling solutions.  The Company anticipates it will be required to continue
making significant investments in product developments to keep pace with
technological advancements in the networking field.  Total research and
development expenditures for the year 1994 are expected to be greater than for
the year 1993.

With the acquisition of Bytex and BTI, selling, general, and administrative
expense are 15 and 18 percent higher for the third quarter and nine-months than
for the same periods in 1993.  As a percentage of total revenue the increase is
reflected only in the three-month period.  For three months selling, general,
and administrative expense is approximately 35 percent of total revenues in 1994
compared to approximately 33 percent of total revenues in 1993.  However, for
the nine months, selling, general, and administrative expense is approximately
33 percent of total revenue for both 1994 and 1993.  The Company is continuing
its re-engineering of processes and procedures to improve efficiency throughout
the Company. And in connection with this re-engineering process, additional cost
cutting may be required.  Efficiencies from consolidating certain Bytex
operations and continued gains from re-engineering are expected to help the
Company maintain control of operating costs.

Net interest income, including capital gains, was $847,000 and $2,956,000 in
this year's third quarter and nine-months.  This compares with $1,536,000 and
$5,840,000 in the respective 1993 periods.  The decrease  in net interest income
is largely a result of the decrease in average invested cash balances.  Cash
balances in 1994 are lower than the same periods in 1993 due to the acquisitions
of BTI during the second quarter of 1993 and Bytex during the fourth quarter of
1993.


The Company's income tax provision was 39.8 and 37.5 percent for the three- and
nine-month periods of 1994, respectively.  This compares with effective income
tax rates of 36.8 percent for both  the three- and nine month periods of 1993.
The addition of nondeductible goodwill associated with the acquisition of Bytex
caused the Company to increase its estimated effective tax rate for 1994.  The
Company reviews the tax rate quarterly and could make adjustments to reflect
changing estimates.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and short-term investments and marketable securities decreased $12.8
million during the nine-months ended September 30, 1994, to a level of $21.0
million.  Operating activities, net of the effect of exchange rate changes,
provided $9.6 million.  This includes the receipt of $23.9 million from the
Internal Revenue Service for the refund of its assessment of an accumulated
earnings tax and related interest for the years 1983 through 1986 received
during second quarter 1994.  The accumulated earnings tax


                                     Page 12
<PAGE>

assessment issues for the 1987 and 1988 years are still being disputed.  Payment
of the accumulated earnings tax and related interest remain in income tax
deposits for the 1987 and 1988 years.  Financing activities, for proceeds from
the sale of common stock through employee plans net of cash used for the
repurchase of common stock, provided $3.8 million.  Net investing activities
used approximately $26.2 million, including $8.9 million net cash for the
acquisition of TMD Products, Inc., with the balance for the addition of
equipment, for capitalized software development expenditures, and funding of
officer notes receivable. At September 30, 1994 the Company's accounts
receivable and inventory levels are higher than anticipated. Accounts receivable
collections fell short of expected levels due to the acquisition of Bytex
Corporation and billing delays related to installation of a new billing system.
The 1994 transfer of Bytex Corporation accounts receivable administration to
Company personnel resulted in slower collections. The Company believes its
accounts receivable collections will return to normal levels as Company
personnel gain familiarity with Bytex Corporation customers and its new billing
system. The inventory levels were primarily affected by the previously described
revenue shortfall. As previously noted, the shareholder vote on the Company's
merger proposal, expected to occur in early 1995, will remove uncertainty
regarding the merger proposal allowing the Company to return to more normal
operations.

The Company's principal sources of liquidity are its cash and short-term
investments and marketable securities of $21.0 million at September 30, 1994,
revolving credit agreements with various banks that make approximately $3.0
million of credit available to the Company's foreign subsidiaries, loan value
available from $22.0 million of cash values in company-owned life insurance
policies, and a one year $10.0 million bank line of credit negotiated in March
1994.  The Company believes that this liquidity, together with cash flows from
operations, will meet its 1994 operating requirements, fund the payment of its
restructuring accruals of approximately $2.0 million, and provide cash for
additional business opportunities that may become available in 1994.
