NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(IN THOUSANDS)

(1)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the
information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. These consolidated financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
accompanying notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1999 as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

(2) CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR

On January 12, 2000, the Company changed its fiscal year to end on January 31,
rather than December 31. The Company has included information for the transition
period from January 1-January 31, 2000 in its Form 10-Q filing for the three
month period ended April 30, 2000 pursuant to rule 13a-10 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934.

(3) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The Company has determined that it will proceed with a divestiture of its
Enterprise Integration Solutions Division. Accordingly, the Enterprise
Integration Solutions Division has been accounted for as a discontinued
operation in the accompanying financial statements. The Enterprise Integration
Solutions Division develops and sells EAI software that automates the
integration of computer software applications, and business workflow processes,
as well as our traditional server gateways and tools, which enable multiple
desktop computers and mainframe terminals to communicate with one another.
Management estimates that the disposition of this business segment
will not result in a loss. Summary financial information for the discontinued
operations was as follows:

Two employees, who were former shareholders of IntelliFrame, a company we
acquired, will be eligible for aggregate bonus payments of up to $10,000,000
through December 31, 2001 if future revenue from products of the Enterprise
Integration Solutions Division exceed defined targets, or if certain products
are sold in a transaction that does not constitute a change in control. The
potential bonus payments increase to a maximum of $12,000,000 if the Company
were to divest certain specified products of the division in calendar year 2000.
The employees may also be entitled to bonus payments of up to an aggregate of
$8.0 million (offset by bonuses previously paid) upon certain failures to market
specified products of the division prior to December 31, 2001. No bonus payments
have been made in connection with this agreement.

During the six months ended July 31, 2000 and June 30, 1999, the Company
received additional payments, from an earlier sale of the vision product line of
$1,210,000 and $667,000, respectively, which were recognized as income in the
first quarter of each year and included in results from discontinued operations.
There are no additional payments to be received from the sale of the vision
product line.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS

Overview

     We are a leading provider of hardware and software products and related
professional services in the rapidly growing storage networking market. We focus
primarily on helping our clients design, develop, deploy and manage SANs. Our
storage networking products represent our core business and account for a
substantial majority of our revenue and profit. Our SAN products consist
primarily of our UltraNet(R) and Channelink(R) families of products. We also
market our established channel networking products, which enable computers to
transmit data over unlimited distances. We also have an Enterprise Integration
Solutions Division.

     On January 12, 2000, we changed our fiscal year end to January 31, from
December 31. References in this Form 10-Q to the second quarter and first half
of 2000 represent the three and six months ended July 31, 2000. References in
this Form 10-Q to the second quarter and first half of 1999 represent the three
and six months ended June 30, 1999. We have not submitted financial information
for the three and six months ended July 31, 1999 in this Form 10-Q because the
information is not practical or cost beneficial to prepare. We believe that the
three and six months ended June 30, 1999 provide a meaningful comparison to the
second quarter and first half of fiscal 2000. There are no factors, of which we
are aware, seasonal or otherwise, that would impact the comparability of
information or trends, if results for the three and six months ended July 31,
1999 were presented in lieu of results for the three and six months ended June
30, 1999.

Discontinued Operations -- Divestiture of Enterprise Integration Solutions
Division

     Our Enterprise Integration Solutions Division develops and sells our EAI
software that automates the integration of computer applications and business
workflow processes, as well as our traditional server gateways and tools which
enable multiple desktop computers and mainframe terminals to communicate with
one another. Our board of directors has determined to sell or spin off our
Enterprise Integration Solutions Division in order to focus all of our resources
on our SAN and other storage networking products. The board has set January 31,
2001 as a target date for completing any sale. As a result of this decision, the
Enterprise Integration Solutions Division is shown as a discontinued operation
in our consolidated statements of operations, meaning that the division's
revenues, costs and expenses are not shown and its net income (loss) for all
periods are included under the "Discontinued Operations" caption. For additional
information regarding the results of operations of the Enterprise Integration
Solutions Division, see note 3, "Discontinued Operations" to the consolidated
financial statements included in this Form 10-Q. Certain general and
administrative, facility and information technology infrastructure costs that
had previously been allocated to and reported in the operating results of the
Enterprise Integration Solutions Division have been reallocated and reported in
the results for continuing operations.

Revenue

     Revenue from product sales for the second quarter and first half of 2000
totaled $31.7 million and $59.0 million, respectively, increases of 46 percent
and 39 percent, respectively, when compared to the same periods of 1999. SAN
applications for both open systems and mainframes continued to drive our new
product revenue. SAN related product revenue for the second quarter and
first half of 2000 totaled $21.9 million and $37.5 million, respectively,
increases of 61 percent and 47 percent, respectively, when compared to the same
periods of 1999. Sales of channel extension product applications for the second
quarter and first half of 2000 totaled $9.8 million and $21.6 million,
respectively, increases of 21 percent and 26 percent, respectively, when
compared to the same periods of 1999.

     During the fourth quarter of 1999, we introduced the first product for
remote disk mirroring over standard IP-based networks. During the second quarter
and first half of 2000 we recorded $1.9 million and $2.4 million, respectively,
of IP-related product revenue. Our partner relationships with STK and Compaq
have also generated significant product revenue. During the second quarter and
first half of 2000, sales of the DXE product to STK contributed $2.7 million and
$5.3 million of product revenue, respectively. Our OEM relationship with Compaq
contributed $1.6 million and $2.1 million of product revenue in the second
quarter and first half of 2000, respectively.

    Service revenue for the second quarter and first half of 2000 totaled $12.6
and $23.9 million, respectively, increases of 45 percent and 39 percent
respectively, when compared to the same periods of 1999. Professional service
revenue for the second quarter and first half of 2000 totaled $2.3 million and
$4.1 million, respectively, increases of 133 percent and 88 percent,
respectively, when compared to the same periods of 1999 as a result of
increased demand for our new professional service offerings. Traditional
maintenance services accounted for the remaining increase in revenue due to the
growing installed base of customers using our networking products.

  General

     Revenue generated from the sale of products and services outside the United
States for the six months ended July 31, 2000 totaled $21.7 million, a decrease
of 1% when compared to the same period of 1999.

     No single customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenue during the
first half of 2000 or 1999.  Revenue increases in 2000 and 1999 were
attributable to increases in sales of SAN products and additional services.
Price increases for our products and services did not have a significant impact
on revenue in the first half of 2000 or 1999.

     During the six months ended July 31, 2000, approximately 26%, 4% and 8% of
our product revenue was derived from businesses in the financial services,
telecommunications and information outsourcing industries, respectively.

     We derive an increasingly significant portion of our revenue from sales of
our storage networking products. As a result of product maturation, revenue
derived from traditional channel networking declined in 1999. We expect that
revenue from traditional channel networking products will continue to decline in
the future as we continue to focus more of our resources on our SAN products.

     We primarily sell our storage networking products directly to end-user
customers in connection with joint marketing activities with our business
partners and OEMs. OEMs combine our products with their own products and sell
the combined products to their customers. For a new customer, the initial sales
and design cycle, from first contact through shipment, can vary from 90 days to
12 months or more. We expect that this cycle will continue.

     We expect continued quarter-to-quarter fluctuations in revenue in both
domestic and international markets. The timing of sizable orders, because of
their relative impact on total quarterly sales, may contribute to such
fluctuations. The level of product sales reported by us in any given period will
continue to be affected by the receipt and fulfillment of sizable new orders in
both domestic and international markets.

Gross Profit Margin

    Gross profit margin from the sale of products for the second quarter and
first half of 2000 was 60 percent and 59 percent, respectively, compared to 61
percent for both periods of 1999. The decrease in the gross margin
was due to our sale of the DXE product to STK, and the UltraNet Gateway product
to Compaq, both of which carry lower gross margin, but comparable operating
margin, than our Channelink and UltraNet products sold through direct channels.

    Gross profit margin from services for the second quarter and first half of
2000 was 41 percent, compared to 46 and 44 percent, respectively, for the same
periods of 1999. The decrease in gross margin was due to new professional
services employees who have been added over the past nine months, in
anticipation of future growth in professional services.

Operating Expenses

    Sales and marketing expense for the second quarter and first half of 2000
increased by $1.3 million and $2.8 million, respectively, or 15 percent and 16
percent, respectively, when compared to the same periods of 1999. The increase
in expense resulted from higher commissions and additional headcount required to
generate the increase in revenue.

    Engineering and development expense for the second quarter and first half of
2000 increased by $1.3 million and $2.6 million, respectively, or 29 percent and
30 percent, respectively, when compared to the same periods of 1999. The
increases were primarily due to continued development of our UltraNet family of
products that provide customers with additional applications to satisfy their
growing SAN capabilities. During the first half of 2000, we announced SAN over
standard IP solutions, including tape, SCSI and Fibre Channel over IP to
strengthen our presence in the IP solutions market.

    General and administrative expenses for the second quarter and first half of
2000 increased by $467,000 and $842,000, respectively, increases of 27 percent
and 24 percent, respectively, when compared to the same periods of 1999. The
increases were due to higher costs for wages, insurance and professional fees.

                                       10

Other

    Other income for the second quarter and first half of 2000 increased by
$271,000 and $329,000, respectively, when compared to the same periods of 1999,
due to an increase in interest income resulting from higher
balances of cash and marketable securities available for investment.

    We recorded a provision for income taxes for the second quarter and first
half of 2000 at an effective income tax rate of 33 percent, compared to 34
percent, for the same periods of 1999. Fluctuations in our effective income tax
rate are primarily due to the amount of nondeductible foreign losses and
fluctuations in the level of benefit from our foreign sales corporation. Based
on an assessment of our taxable earnings history and prospective future taxable
income, we have determined it to be more likely than not that our net deferred
tax asset will be realized in future periods. We may be required to provide a
valuation allowance for this asset in the future if we do not generate
sufficient taxable income as planned.

Discontinued Operations

     Discontinued operations consisting of our Enterprise Integration Solutions
Division generated a loss after income taxes in the second quarter and first
half of 2000 of $1.9 million and $2.0 million, respectively, compared to income
after income taxes in the second quarter and first half of 1999 of $532,000 and
$1.9 million, respectively. The decrease in profitability is primarily
attributed to a 64 percent and 69 percent decline in revenue from sales of
server gateways and tools products in the second quarter and first half of 2000
to $1.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively, from $3.1 million and $6.9
million, respectively, in the same periods of 1999. In addition, maintenance
revenue from our traditional server gateways and tools products declined in the
first half of 2000 to $1.8 million, from $2.7 million in the first half of 1999,
due to a drop off in the installed base of customers using our traditional
server gateways and tools products.

Discontinued Operations -- Acquisitions

     On December 3, 1998, we acquired, for $2.0 million, all of the outstanding
stock of IntelliFrame, a start-up software and services company that develops
technology for integrating legacy systems with client/server systems and the
Internet. Two employees who were former shareholders of IntelliFrame are
eligible for aggregate bonus payments of up to $10.0 million through December
31, 2001 if future revenue from specified products of the Enterprise Integration
Solutions Division exceed defined targets or if certain products are sold in a
transaction that does not constitute a change of control. The potential bonus
payments increase to a maximum of $12.0 million if we engage in certain
divestitures of specified products of the division in calendar year 2000. The
employees may also be entitled to bonus payments of up to an aggregate of $8.0
million (offset by bonuses previously paid) upon certain failures to market
specified products of the division prior to December 31, 2001. To date, no bonus
payments have been made under these agreements. We do not know if any bonus
payments will become due under these agreements as a result of the divestiture
of the Enterprise Integration Solutions Division, as a transaction has not yet
been structured.

     On October 24, 1997, we acquired substantially all of the assets, including
in-process research and development, of the Internet Solutions Divisions of
Apertus, a provider of EAI and server gateways and tools. The purchase price of
$16.4 million included a cash payment of $11.4 million at closing and assumption
by us of $5.0 million of liabilities and related acquisition costs. The assets
we acquired from IntelliFrame and Apertus are part of the Enterprise Integration
Solutions Division.

Discontinued Operations -- Stock Options

    We have issued options for the purchase of approximately 2.8 million shares
of common stock in RealLegacy.com, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary including
our EAI business, to our directors and employees and officers of RealLegacy.com,
Inc. The options generally have an exercise price of $2.00 per share, equal to
their estimated fair market value on the date of grant, and have individually
defined terms and vesting periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    We have historically financed our operations through the public and private
sale of equity securities, bank borrowings under lines of credit, capital and
operating equipment leases and cash generated by operations.

    Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at July 31, 2000 totaled
$29.6 million, an increase of $13.0 million since January 31, 2000. Operations
and proceeds from the exercise of stock options provided cash for the first half
of 2000 of $20.6 million and $2.2 million, respectively. Uses of cash for the
first half of 2000 included the purchase of property and equipment and field
support spares totaling $8.3 million.

    Expenditures for capital equipment and field support spares have been, and
will likely continue to be, a significant capital requirement. We believe that
our current balances of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, when
combined with anticipated cash flows from operations, will be adequate to fund
our operating plans and meet our current anticipated aggregate capital
requirement, at least through fiscal 2000.

    We believe that inflation has not had a material impact on our operations or
liquidity to date.

New Accounting Pronouncement

    Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS No. 133), effective for us
on February 1, 2001, establishes new standards for recognizing all derivatives
as either assets or liabilities, and measuring those instruments at fair value.
Currently, we do not anticipate that SFAS No. 133 will have a material impact on
our financial position or results of operations.

     In December 1999, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101,
"Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements". SAB 101 summarizes certain of the
SEC staff's view in applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue
recognition in financial statements. We are currently analyzing whether SAB 101
will have any impact on our financial statements. SAB 101 will become effective
for us during the quarter ending January 31, 2001.

Market Risk

     We have no derivative financial instruments in our cash and cash
equivalents. We mainly invest our cash and cash equivalents in investment grade,
highly liquid investments, consisting of money market instruments, bank
certificates of deposits and investments in commercial paper.

     At July 31, 2000, our marketable securities included a $582,000 investment
in a Standard and Poors 500 stock price index fund and a $104,000 investment in
a NASDAQ 100 index tracking stock. These investments were purchased to directly
offset any investment gains or losses owed to participants under our executive
deferred compensation plan which has been established for selected key
employees.

     We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in foreign exchange
rates because some sales transactions, and the assets and liabilities of our
foreign subsidiaries, are denominated in foreign currencies, primarily French
francs, the euro and British pounds sterling. As of July 31, 2000, we have
hedged a portion of our risk by purchasing forward exchange contracts for 1.2
million British pounds sterling that settle at various times through January 31,
2001.

Change in Fiscal Year

     On January 12, 2000, we changed our fiscal year end to January 31, rather
than December 31. Our January 2000 results were reported in our Report on Form
10-Q for the three month period ended April 30, 2000. Our summary January 2000
results are as follows; revenues $4.3 million; gross profit $1.3 million;
operating expenses $5.3 million; net loss from continuing operations $2.6
million; net loss from discontinued operations $1.0 million; and net loss $3.6
million. We typically incur significant losses in the first month following the
completion of a quarter because our revenue is significantly less than the
average monthly revenues we generate in any quarterly or annual period.

Forward Looking Statements

     This Form 10-Q and other documents we have filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission contain forward-looking statements, which may include
statements about our:

     -    anticipated receipt of orders;

and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 1999. We assume no
obligation to update any forward-looking statements. These statements are only
predictions. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the
forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results,
levels of activity, performance or achievements.
