Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common
shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Dilutive net income per share is computed by dividing net income available to
common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
plus the dilutive effect of options, warrants and convertible preferred stock.
The dilutive effect of options and warrants is calculated under the treasury
stock method using the average market price for the period. The dilutive effect
of the convertible preferred stock is calculated under the if-converted method.

products, continued industry consolidation, the development of competing
technology, and the Company's ability to achieve its strategic objectives. For
additional information concerning these and other important factors which may

Results of Operations

Net Sales for the thirteen-week period ended September 29, 2000 were $78.3
million, an increase of 11% from the prior year's sales of $70.9 million for the
same period. Telecommunications Equipment segment sales increased by 5% to $65.2
million during the thirteen-week period, compared to $62.0 million for the same
period of the prior year. The increase was attributable primarily to increased
sales of fiber optics products as we continue to expand our product offering
through development of new products and strategic partnerships to meet domestic
and international customer demands. Broadband Management Services (BMS) segment
sales increased by 47% to $13.1 million during the thirteen-week period,
compared to $8.9 million for the same period of the prior year. The increase was
primarily attributable to technical services performed in our customers' plants,
including system sweep, reverse path activation, ingress mitigation, node
certification and system maintenance.

Domestic sales increased by 7% for the thirteen-week period ended September 29,
2000 to $68.9 million from $64.3 million for the same period of the prior year.
This growth occurred in our BMS segment sales, primarily for technical services.
We believe the continuation of network upgrade activities to enable two-way
interactive broadband services has translated into increased demand for our
products and services. Total domestic sales were 88% of net sales for the
thirteen-week period ended September 29, 2000, as compared to 91% for the same
period of the prior year.

International sales increased by 43% for the thirteen-week period ended
September 29, 2000 to $9.4 million from $6.6 million for the same period of the
prior year. This growth was principally in sales of telecommunications equipment
and reflected sales to a major customer in Canada and increased demand from
customers in the EuroPacific region. We expect international markets will
continue to represent a substantial portion of our sales base, but believe
demand will continue to be highly variable. The international markets represent
distinct markets in which capital spending decisions for hybrid fiber coax (HFC)
network distribution equipment can be impacted by a variety of factors including
access to financing and general economic conditions. Our total international
sales were 12% of consolidated net sales for the thirteen-week period ended
September 29, 2000, as compared to 9% for the same period of the prior year.

Gross margin was 27.2% for the thirteen-week period ended September 29, 2000,
compared to 26.3% for the same period of the prior year. For the
Telecommunications Equipment segment, gross margin was 26.7% for the
thirteen-week period ended September 29, 2000, compared to 28.0% for the same
period of the prior year. The decrease in gross margin resulted primarily from
changes in product mix. For the BMS segment, gross margin was 29.6% for the
thirteen-week period ended September 29, 2000, compared to 14.2% for the same
period of the prior year. The increase in gross margin is due primarily to
improvements in productivity and changes in various costs associated with our
technical services, as we have substantially completed the integration of our
legacy service organization with the acquisitions of Worldbridge Broadband
Services, Inc. and Advanced Communications Services, Inc., consummated in the
third quarter of fiscal year 2000.

Selling and administrative expenses were $8.9 million (11.3% of net sales) for
the thirteen-week period ended September 29, 2000, compared to $8.9 million
(12.5% of net sales) for the same period of the prior year. The Company's
selling and administrative expenses remained flat for the quarter, but we
anticipate increasing selling and administrative expense in future periods,
related to international expansion, although these expenses may vary as a
percentage of net sales.

Research and product development expenses were $4.4 million (5.6% of net sales)
for the thirteen-week period ended September 29, 2000, compared to $3.2 million
(4.5% of net sales) for the same period of the prior year. The increase in
research and product development expenditures resulted from higher personnel
costs and additional expenses primarily for development of fiber optic
transmission products and the continued development of network management
products and capabilities. We anticipate continuing increases in research and
product development expenses in future periods, related to ongoing initiatives,
although these expenses may vary as a percentage of net sales.

Operating income (excluding non-recurring business combination costs) for the
Telecommunications Equipment segment for the thirteen-week period ended
September 29, 2000, was $7.8 million, compared to $7.5 million for the same
period of the prior year. The increase in operating income was attributable
primarily to increased volume. Operating income (excluding non-recurring
business combination costs) for the BMS segment for the thirteen-week period
ended September 29, 2000, was $232,000, compared to an operating loss of
$916,000 for the same period of the prior year. The improvement in operating
income derives from higher volumes, which absorbed our fixed operating costs, as
well as improved gross margin deriving from our technical services. These
improved factors were offset partially by a continued increase in investment and
development costs associated with our network management products.

Interest expense was $13,000 for the thirteen-week period ended September 29,
2000, compared to $621,000 for the same period of the prior year. The decrease
in interest expense resulted from reductions of long-term debt and borrowings on
various short-term credit facilities, and a decrease in the amortization related
to the fair market value of warrants issued in fiscal year 1999 in connection
with certain debt financing arrangements by Silicon Valley Communications,
Inc.(SVCI), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

Investment income was $2.0 million for the thirteen-week period ended September
29, 2000, compared to $63,000 for the same period of the prior year. The
increase in investment income resulted from short-term investments of the net
proceeds received in our follow-on public offering completed on November 12,
1999.

Our overall effective income tax rate was 40.4% for the thirteen-week period
ended September 29, 2000, compared to 83.0% for the same period of the prior
year. The higher effective income tax rate in the prior year resulted primarily
from permanent differences for non-deductible business combination costs
incurred in relation with the mergers with Convergence.com Corporation
(Convergence) and SVCI.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In November 1999, we completed a follow-on public offering of our common stock,
resulting in net proceeds (after deducting issuance costs) of $133.3 million.
As of September 29, 2000, cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities
totaled $142.7 million, up from $137.5 million at June 30, 2000.

Net cash and cash equivalents provided by operating activities were $11.3
million for the thirteen-week period ended September 29, 2000, compared to net
cash and cash equivalents used in operating activities of $4.5 million for the
same period of the prior year. The increase in net cash and cash equivalents
provided by operating activities was primarily due to the increase in net income
for the period, as well as higher accounts payable and reductions in
inventories, and were partially offset by increases in accounts receivable and
reductions of accrued liabilities.

Net cash and cash equivalents used in investing activities were $6.4 million for
the thirteen-week period ended September 29, 2000, compared to $3.3 million for
the same period of the prior year. The increase in cash and cash equivalents
used in investing activities was primarily due to purchases of marketable
securities and other short-term investments. Other investing activities included
our purchases of property, plant and equipment for $493,000, as compared to $3.3
million for the same period of the prior year.

Net cash and cash equivalents used in financing activities were $5.7 million for
the thirteen-week period ended September 29, 2000, compared to $3.5 million of
net cash and cash equivalents provided by financing activities for the same
period of the prior year. The increase in cash used in financing activities
resulted primarily from the purchase of treasury stock during the period.

On September 25, 2000, we announced that we were beginning a stock repurchase
program, effective September 22, 2000. The new program allows the Company to
repurchase up to 2,000,000 shares of C-COR.net common stock. The shares may be
purchased from time to time in the open market through block or privately
negotiated transactions, or otherwise. The Company intends to use its currently
available capital resources to fund the purchases. The repurchased stock is
expected to be held by the Company as treasury stock to be used to meet the
Company's obligations under its present and future stock option plans and for
other corporate purposes. As of September 29, 2000, 449,900 shares were
repurchased under this stock repurchase program. Our other financing activities
consisted primarily of payments on short-term and long-term debt and proceeds
from the exercise of employee stock options and warrants.

We have a credit agreement with three banks under which we may borrow up to
$70.0 million. Under the credit agreement, $20.0 million is available as a
revolving line-of-credit, subject to an aggregate sub-limit of $2.0 million for
issuance of letters of credit which is committed through November 30, 2000. The
credit agreement also permits us to borrow up to $50.0 million, for strategic
acquisitions and/or investments, which is also committed through November 30,
2000. Credit pricing on these facilities is a function of our total funded
indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
(EBITDA) ratio. Borrowings under the credit agreement bear interest at various
rates, at our option, and are limited to three times EBITDA. Borrowings on these
facilities are unsecured, subject to a negative pledge on all business assets,
and we are required to maintain certain financial ratios and comply with
indebtedness tests. As of September 29, 2000, we had no borrowings outstanding
under the credit agreement and based upon our EBITDA, as measured on a rolling
four quarter basis, the full $70.0 million facility was available. We anticipate
renewing this credit agreement on or before November 30, 2000.

Management believes that operating cash flow, proceeds received from the
follow-on public offering, as well as the aforementioned credit agreement, will
be adequate to provide for all cash requirements for the foreseeable future,
subject to requirements that strategic developments might dictate.
