NOTE 1. General
- ---------------

     The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have not been 
audited by independent auditors but, in the opinion of the Company, such 
unaudited statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring 
accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial 
position as of June 28, 1996, and the consolidated results of operations for the
three month period ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995 and cash flows for the 
three month period ended June 28, 1996 and June 30, 1995.  Certain information 
and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in 
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or 
omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange 
Commission.  Nevertheless, the Company believes that the disclosures in these 
financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not 
misleading.  Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for 
the full fiscal year.

     On May 13, 1996 the Company elected to change its fiscal year from the last
Friday in December to the last Friday in March beginning with March 1996.  The 
Company has elected to disclose the consolidated results of operations and cash 
flows for the three month period ended June 28, 1996 in comparative form with 
the three month period ended June 30, 1995 because it believes comparability is 
improved.

     The three month period ended June 28, 1996 represented the first period for
which the Company's results of operations excluded those of the hard disk drive
business operated under the name "Micropolis Corporation" and sold by the
Company as of March 29, 1996.

     These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in 
conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and the notes 
thereto included in the Company's Transition Report on Form 10-K for the three 
month period ended March 29, 1996 filed with the Securities and Exchange 
Commission.

- ------------------------

Acquisition of FWB Inc.

      Effective July 1, 1996 the Company purchased all of the net assets related
to the hardware business of FWB Software Inc., a developer of performance 
computer storage products for pre-press, multi-media and graphics applications.

1996.


                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                    ---------------------------------------
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                 ---------------------------------------------

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Three Months Ended June 28, 1996 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1995
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

      Net sales decreased 84% to $11.2 million in the June 1996 quarter as
compared to $70.1 million in the June 1995 quarter. The decline in revenues was
due to the sale of the hard disk drive business by the Company as of March 29,
1996. Revenue for the June 1996 quarter included those of the Company's family
of high performance and fault-tolerant RAID solutions and the family of video
server systems. Such June 1996 quarter revenues slightly exceeded those of the
June 1995 quarter for similar products. Backlog as of June 28, 1996 was $1.9
million.

      Cost of sales as a percent of sales increased to 93.5% in the June 1996 
quarter from 78.1% in the June 1995 quarter resulting in a gross margin of 6.5% 
in the 1996 quarter as compared to 21.9% in the 1995 quarter.  The decrease 
in margin during the 1996 quarter was a result of increased costs and 
inefficiences experienced by the Company during the period of transition 
following the sale of the hard disk drive business.
       
       Research and development expense were 22.0% of sales in the June 1996
quarter as compared to 14.8% in the June 1995 quarter. The percentage increase
is the result of lower sales, offset partially by a decrease in expense of $7.9
million. The decrease in expense was the result of the sale of the hard disk
drive business by the Company as of March 29, 1996, and the termination of the
Company's funding of the costs incurred by Tulip Memory Systems, Inc., a start-
up company formed to develop substrates which are to be used in the manufacture
of computer disk drives. The remaining research and development expense was
incurred for the Company's family of high performance and fault-tolerant RAID
solutions and the family of video server systems. Research and development
expense for such products amounted to approximately $3.1 million in the June
1995 quarter. The decrease of $635,000 is attributable to a reduction in expense
incurred on the video server systems and the Company's cost reduction efforts.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses were 24.8% of sales in the
June 1996 quarter as compared to 14.7% in the June 1995 quarter. The percentage
increase is the result of lower sales, offset by a decrease in expense of $7.5
million. The decrease in expense was the result of the sale of the hard disk
drive business by the Company as of March 29, 1996.

                                      -6-

<PAGE>
 
     Interest expense was $1.4 million in the June 1996 quarter (12.5% of sales)
as compared to $1.5 million in the June 1995 quarter (2.1% of sales). The
decrease in expense was a result of interest incurred during the June 1996
quarter on the Company's 10% Subordinated Notes offset by fees associated with
the Company's Term Loan Facility in the June 1995 quarter. Interest income was
$377,000 in the June 1996 quarter as compared to $486,000 in the June 1995
quarter as a result of lower cash equivalent and short-term investment balances.

      As a result of the above, loss before income taxes was $5.5 million in the
June 1996 quarter as compared to $6.3 million in the June 1995 quarter.  Net
loss for the June 1996 quarter was $5.5 million compared to $6.3 million in the
June 1995 quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

      Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments increased to $45.9 
million as of June 28, 1996 from $40.5 million as of March 29, 1996.  Net cash 
provided by operations of $2.2 million is primarily due to the collection of a 
substantial amount of the trade accounts receivable not sold as part of the hard
disk drive business, offset by the Company's net loss of $5.5 million and 
decrease in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities of $5.6 million.

      The Company's capital expenditures in the June 1996 quarter were $250,000
as compared to $7.0 million in the June 1995 quarter. Capital expenditures in
the June 1995 quarter related primarily to the construction of a new
manufacturing facility in Singapore to replace the leased facility and for
equipment and tooling to support new products. The new facility was completed in
1996 and sold as part of the sale of the hard disk drive business. The Company
had obtained a term loan facility to fund the expenditures associated with the
construction of the building. The buyer of the hard disk drive business assumed
the Company's term loan facility and, in addition, assumed the Company's
obligations under contracts to build an ESD safe cleanroom for the production of
MR-based disk drives, and certain other contracts for the facilitation of the
factory. The Company currently anticipates that its fiscal 1997 capital spending
will be substantially less than that of fiscal 1995 and will be principally for
equipment and tooling required for the Company's new products.

       During October 1995, the Company completed the private placement to an
institutional investor of $20,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 10%
Convertible Subordinated Notes (the "Notes"), due October 15, 1998. The Notes
were convertible at the option of the holder into shares of Common Stock of the
Company at a conversion price of $6.00 per share, a premium to the market price
of the Company's Common Stock at the time of issuance. The Notes are senior to
the Debentures and are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the
Company. During March 1996, the Company obtained the required consent of the
holder of the Notes to allow consummation of the Sale and in consideration for
such consent, agreed to repay the Notes on July 2, 1996 and issued warrants to
purchase 1,500,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at a price of $4 per
share. On April 5, 1996, the Company repaid $10,000,000 of the Notes, and on
July 1, 1996, the Company repaid the remaining $10,000,000 of the Notes.
Interest on the Notes was payable semiannually on April 15 and October 15.

       In consideration of the sale of the hard disk drive business as of March 
29, 1996, the Company received total cash consideration of approximately $54 
million.  $39.7 million of such cash consideration was received as of the March 
29, 1996 closing, $13 million in cash consideration was received on June 6,

Market for StreamLogic Common Stock
- -----------------------------------

     As of June 28, 1996, the Company's net tangible assets did not meet the
criteria for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq National Market System. If the
Company's Common Stock is no longer approved for inclusion on the Nasdaq
National Market System, and the Company cannot obtain listing elsewhere,
trading, if any, in the Company's Common Stock may thereafter be conducted in
the over-the-counter market and its stock quoted in the so-called "pink
sheets" or, if then available, the "OTC Bulletin Board Service." As a result, it
could be more difficult to trade, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the
value of, the Company's Common Stock and the spread between the "bid" and "ask"
prices for the Common Stock could materially increase. However, as of August 12,
1996 the Company's Common Stock was still included on the Nasdaq National Market
System. The Company has undertaken discussions with Nasdaq seeking the continued
inclusion of the Company's Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market System
based on the Company's plans for increasing its net tangible assets, however
there can be no assurance that the Common Stock will continue to be approved for
inclusion.


StreamLogic Strategic and Financial Alternatives
- ------------------------------------------------

    Although the Company anticipates operating losses in the near term, the
Company is considering and will consider strategic and financial alternatives to
improve its results of operations, cash flows and net worth, including
restructuring of debt, acquisitions and other alternatives. The Company expects
revenues, margins and operating expenses to increase during the September 1996
quarter following the purchase of the hardware business of FWB Software, Inc.
Management believes its cash, cash equivalents, short term investments and other
working capital will be sufficient to fund operations over the next year.

                    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER

    Except as set forth in the Schedule of Exceptions attached hereto as
SCHEDULE 4, Seller hereby represents and warrants to Buyer that the following
facts and circumstances are and, except as contemplated hereby, at all times up
to the Closing date will be true and correct, and hereby acknowledge that such
facts and circumstances constitute the basis upon which Buyer is induced to
enter into and perform this Agreement.  Each representation and warranty set

or on behalf of Buyer.

duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of
California, has all necessary 

                                       4

corporate powers to own its properties and to carry on its business as now owned
and operated by it, and is duly qualified to transact intrastate business and is

its properties makes such qualification necessary.

    4.2 REAL PROPERTY.  SCHEDULE 1.1 to this Agreement is a complete and
accurate legal descriptions of each parcel of real property leased to Seller,
and used by Seller in connection with the Hardware Business.  The Real Property
Lease is valid and in full force, and to Seller's knowledge there does not exist
any material default or event that with notice or lapse of time, or both, would
constitute a material default under that lease.  All the buildings, fixtures and
leasehold improvements used by Seller in its Hardware Business are located on
the Real Property.  Seller is in compliance with all applicable federal, state,
and local laws relating to emissions, discharges and releases of hazardous
materials into the environment and the generation, treatment, storage,
transportation and disposal of hazardous wastes, the noncompliance with which
would be likely to have a material adverse effect on the Hardware Business.

    4.3 INVENTORY.  The Inventory consists of items of a quality and quantity
useable and salable in the ordinary course of business by Seller, except for
obsolete and slow-moving items and items below standard quality, all of which
have been written down on the books of Seller to net realizable market value or
have been provided for by adequate reserves.  All items included in the
Inventories are the property of Seller, except for sales made in the ordinary
course of business; for each of these sales either the purchaser has made full
payment or the purchaser's liability to make payment is reflected in the
Accounts Receivable.  Except as set forth in SCHEDULE 4.6, no items included in
the Inventory have been pledged as collateral or are held by Seller on
consignment from others.

    4.4 ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE.  The Accounts Receivable arose from bona fide sales
and deliveries of goods, performance of services or other transactions in the
ordinary course of Seller's business.  SCHEDULE 1.5 is a complete and current
summary of the Accounts Receivable arising out of the Seller's Hardware Business
as of April 27, 1996, based on a reasonable allocation of accounts receivable
between Seller's Hardware Business and Software Business.

    4.5 TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY.  The Owned Equipment and Leased Equipment
described in Sections 1.2 and 1.3 of this Agreement constitute all of the items
of tangible personal property used by Seller in connection with its Hardware
Business, except Inventory and tangible personal property used by Seller in
connection with its Software Business listed in SCHEDULE 4.5.

    4.6 TITLE TO ASSETS.  Except for the matters set forth in SCHEDULE 4.6,
Seller has good and marketable title to all its Assets and interests in Assets,
whether real, personal, mixed, tangible, and intangible; and all assets are free
and clear of mortgages, liens, pledges, charges, encumbrances, equities, claims,
easements, rights of way, covenants, conditions, or restrictions, except for
minor matters that, in the aggregate, are not substantial in amount and do not
materially detract from or interfere with the present or intended use of any of
these Assets, nor materially impair business operations.  Seller is in quiet
possession of the Leased Real Property.

                                       5

current list of all current OEMs and other resellers of the products of Seller's
Hardware Business together with summaries of the sales made to each customer
during the most recent fiscal year.  Seller has received no notice of
termination or intended termination from any OEM, reseller, or customer who,
during the most recent fiscal year has represented five percent (5%) or more of
the annual sales of Seller's Hardware Business.

    4.8 EXISTING EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS.  SCHEDULE 4.8 to this Agreement is a list
of all employment contracts and collective bargaining agreements, and all
pension, bonus, profit-sharing, stock option, or other agreements or
arrangements providing for employee remuneration or benefits to which Seller is
a party or by which Seller is bound, which relate to Employees as defined in
Section 7.3.  All these contracts and arrangements are in full force and effect,
and neither Seller nor any other party is in material default under them.  There
have been no claims of material defaults and, to the Seller's best knowledge,
there are no facts or conditions which if continued, or upon notice, will result
in a material default under these contracts or arrangements.  There is no
pending or, to the Seller's best knowledge, threatened labor dispute, strike, or
work stoppage affecting Seller's Hardware Business.

    4.9 INSURANCE POLICIES.  SCHEDULE 4.9 to this Agreement is a description of
all insurance policies held by Seller concerning the Assets.  All these policies
are in the respective principal amounts set forth in SCHEDULE 4.9.  Seller has
maintained and now maintains (i) insurance on all the Assets of a type
customarily insured, covering property damage and loss of income by fire or
other casualty, and (ii) adequate insurance protection against all liabilities,
claims, and risks against which it is customary to insure.

    4.10 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.  To the best of Seller's knowledge, Seller has
complied with, and is not in violation of, applicable federal, state, or local
statutes, laws, and regulations (including, without limitation, any applicable
building, zoning, or other law, ordinance, or regulation) affecting its Assets
or the operation of its Hardware Business.

    4.11 LITIGATION.  Except as set forth in SCHEDULE 4.11 there is no suit,
action, arbitration, or legal, administrative, or other proceeding, or
governmental investigation pending or, to the Seller's best knowledge,
threatened, against or affecting Seller's Hardware Business or the Assets.  The
matters set forth in SCHEDULE 4.10 if decided adversely to Seller will not
result in a material adverse change in the business of Seller's Hardware
Business or the Assets.

    4.12 AGREEMENT WILL NOT CAUSE BREACH OR VIOLATION.  Except as set forth in
SCHEDULE 4.12, neither the entry into this Agreement nor the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby will result in or constitute any of the
following:  (i) a breach of any term or provision of this Agreement; (ii) a
default or an event that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would be a
default, breach, or violation of the articles of incorporation or bylaws of
Seller or any lease, license, promissory note, conditional sales contract,
commitment, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, or other agreement, instrument,
or arrangement to which Seller is a party or by which Seller or the Assets are
bound; (iii) an event that would permit any party to terminate any agreement or
to accelerate the maturity of any indebtedness or other obligation of Seller;
(iv) the creation or imposition of any lien, charge, or encumbrance on any of
the Assets; or (v) the 

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
violation of any law, regulation, ordinance, judgment, order, or decree
applicable to or affecting Seller or the Assets, in each case except as such as
would not result in a material adverse effect on Seller or the Assets. Seller's
March 30, 1996 financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP.

has the right, power, legal capacity and authority to enter into, and perform
its obligations under this Agreement, and no approvals or consents of any other
persons are necessary in connection with it.  The execution and delivery of this
Agreement by Seller have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action
of Seller (including any necessary action by Seller's security holders), and
this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Seller
enforceable in accordance with its terms.

    4.14 INFORMATION FURNISHED TO BUYER FOR BULK TRANSFER NOTICE.  SCHEDULE 4.13
is a true, complete and correct list of all names and business addresses used by
Seller within the preceding three years, and accurately sets forth the present
location of the Assets.

    4.15 WARRANTY RESERVES.  Warranty reserves are calculated using a formula
which when applied to Seller's Hardware Business has historically resulted in
adequate reserves and comply with GAAP where applicable.

                              AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO
                           ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT

     FWB Software, Inc. ("Seller") and StreamLogic Corporation ("Buyer") 
pursuant to the authority reserved by them in Section 14.11 of that certain 
Asset Purchase Agreement dated June 7, 1996 by and between Seller and Buyer (the
"Purchase Agreement") hereby agree to amend the Purchase Agreement as follows.  
Capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 1 without definition shall have the
meanings ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreement:

     1.  In lieu of Buyer's assumption of the Credit Agreement as contemplated 
by Sections 2.1(b) and 3.1(a) of the Purchase Agreement, Buyer shall pay off all
indebtedness and other amounts due and owing under the Credit Agreement at the 
Closing and, notwithstanding Section 2.1(a) of the Purchase Agreement, the 
amount of such payment shall be deducted from the Purchase Price in lieu of a 
deduction of the amount assumed by Buyer with respect to the Credit Agreement.

     2.  The first sentence of Section 4.14 of the Purchase Agreement is amended
in its entirety to read as follows:

     "SCHEDULE 4.14 is a true, complete and correct list of all
     names and business addresses used by the Seller within the
     preceding three years, and accurately sets forth the present
     locations of the Assets."

     3. Buyer has waived satisfaction of the condition to Closing set forth in
the last clause of Section 8.2 of the Purchase Agreement and Buyer agrees that
it will not make any claims against Seller for indemnification for Seller's
failure to satisfy such condition.

<PAGE>
 
          4.   Notwithstanding Section 10.1 of the Purchase Agreement, the 
Closing shall be postponed until 10:00 a.m. on July 8, 1996 (or such later time 
and date as the parties may agree to), but the Purchase Agreement and all 
documents contemplated thereby or executed in connection therewith shall be 
dated as of July 1, 1996, the Closing contemplated by the Purchase Agreement 
shall be deemed to have taken place at 12:01 a.m. on July 1, 1996 and the Buyer 
shall be deemed to have acquired the Assets at 12:01 a.m. on July 1, 1996.

          5.   In furtherance of Section 11.5 of the Purchase Agreement, Seller 
shall cause Buyer to become a joint signatory on Seller's main Citibank bank 
account, which shall be used as a clearing account for receivables which may be 
owing to either Buyer or Seller as of the Closing.  In addition, Seller will 
open a new separate account over which it will have sole signatory authorization
for the deposit of the Purchase Price and other business purposes.

          6.   Buyer acknowledges that Seller is increasing its inventory 
reserve as of June 30, 1996 by $150,000 to a total reserve of $500,000, which 
Buyer and Seller agree is an adequate reserve for purposes of the Purchase 
Agreement, provided that Seller shall not be excused for fraud or 
misrepresentation.  Buyer further acknowledges that it has satisfied itself with
respect to the recall of Sledgehammer Pro by MountainGate and agrees that no 
additional reserve is to be accrued for purposes of the Purchase Agreement.  
Buyer further agrees to accept the amount of "Prepaids" set forth in Schedule 
1.9 of the Purchase Agreement.

          7.   Subject to the carrier's approvals, Seller agrees to retain its 
employees whom Buyer hires as of the Closing under Seller's existing health plan
until such health plan expires in October 1996 in order to give Buyer time to 
establish coverage for such employees under Buyer's health plan.  Buyer shall 
pay to Seller the coverage costs under such health plan applicable to such 
employees, calculated on an individual-by-individual basis.

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
          8.   Seller and Buyer acknowledge that Buyer has been unable to obtain
the third party consents required by Section 9.2 of the Purchase Agreement and 
the releases required by Section 9.3 of the Purchase Agreement. Seller agrees to
waive those requirements provided Buyer agrees to (i) assume Seller's 
obligations under the contracts, leases and other agreements listed in SCHEDULE 
4.13 (other than the Citibank Credit Agreement), (ii) indemnify and defend 
Seller from and against any and all claims, obligations, liabilities, costs and 
expenses incurred by Seller and arising from the obligations assumed by Buyer 
and (iii) to use its best efforts to obtain such consents and releases after the
Closing. To the extent Seller retains the use of leased equipment, Seller shall 
sublease such equipment from Buyer and Buyer's indemnification shall not extend 
to the equipment retained by Seller.

          9.   The Real Property Lease shall be transferred to Buyer on the 
terms set forth in the letter to Buyer from ETAK dated July 3, 1996. Seller 
shall be released from the Real Property Lease and its security deposit shall be
returned to Seller in accordance with the terms of the Real Property Lease.

          10.  Seller and Buyer acknowledge that the attached Schedules 1.2, 
1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.9, 2.0, 3.0, 3.1, 4.0, 4.5, 4.7, 4.8, 4.13, 4.14 and 9.3 and 
the attached Exhibits 10.2A, 10.2B and 10.3d supersede and replace in their 
entirety the corresponding schedules and exhibits of the Purchase Agreement.

          11.  The term of the Trademark License Agreement shall be two (2) 
years from its Effective Date. The dollar amount set forth in clause (1) of 
Section 2.1(b) of the Operating Agreement shall be $7,500,000 (instead of 
$8,000,000) and the dollar amounts set forth in clause (2) shall be $6,000,000 
and $9,000,000.
