CIPRICO INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2000
(Unaudited)
NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The principal business activity of Ciprico Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company)
is the design, manufacture, and marketing of high performance, direct attached
and networked storage solutions, including intelligent disk array hardware,
software and services for visual computing applications. The Company markets its
products worldwide through a direct sales force and various distribution
channels.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements contain all necessary adjustments, consisting only of a
recurring nature, and disclosures to present fairly the financial position as of
March 31, 2000 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three-month
and six-month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999. The results of operations
for the six months ended March 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the
results for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the
notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders for fiscal
1999.
In preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements, management is
required to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and related revenues and expenses. Actual results could
differ from the estimates used by management.
NOTE B - MARKETABLE SECURITIES
The Company has invested its excess cash in commercial paper and government
agencies. These investments are classified as held-to-maturity given the
Company's intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity and are carried
at amortized cost. Investments that have maturities of less than one year have
been classified as current marketable securities. At March 31, 2000 and
September 30, 1999, amortized cost approximates fair value of held-to-maturity
investments which consist of the following:

NOTE C - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
During 1998, the Company initiated a stock buyback program of up to $6.0
million. As of March 31, 2000, 517,900 shares of common stock have been
repurchased for $5.6 M.

<PAGE>
NOTE D - NET EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
The Company's basic net earnings (loss) per share amounts have been computed by
dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of outstanding
common shares. The Company's diluted net earnings (loss) per share is computed
by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of outstanding
common shares and common share equivalents relating to stock options, when
dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, 100,201 and
105,685 shares of common stock equivalents were included in the computation of
diluted net earnings per share. Options to purchase 469,375 and 608,325 shares
of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $13.82 and $13.38 were
outstanding at March 31, 2000 and 1999, but were excluded from the computation
of common share equivalents for the three-month period because they were
antidilutive. For the six months ended March 31, 1999, the Company reported a
net loss and as such no common share equivalents were included in the
computation of diluted net loss per share. For the six months ended March 31,
1999, 100,974 shares of common stock equivalents were included in the
computation of diluted net earnings per share. Options to purchase 940,100 and
719,825 shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $12.10
and $12.58 were outstanding at March 31, 2000 and 1999, but were excluded from
the computation of common share equivalents for the six-month period because
they were antidilutive.
NOTE E - SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company operates in a single reportable segment. The following presents net
sales for the six months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 by geographic area. The
Company has no material long-lived assets outside of the United States.

CIPRICO INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three and Six Months Ended March 31, 2000 Compared to Three and Six Months Ended
March 31, 1999
Net sales for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000 decreased 5% to $8.2
million compared to $8.6 million for the same period last year. For the
six-month period ended March 31, 2000, net sales decreased 8% to $15.0 million
compared to $16.4 million for the same prior year period. The decrease is
primarily attributable to a decrease in sales in the Geospatial Imaging Market
where the timing of large orders impacts quarterly results. Sales in the
Company's key markets for the six-month period ending March 31, 2000 are shown
in the chart below (in millions).
Market 2000 % of Total 1999 % of Total
- ------ ---- ---------- ---- ----------
Entertainment $ 6.9 46% $ 6.4 39%
Geospatial Imaging 4.9 33 6.7 41
Other 3.2 21 3.3 20
----- ---- ---- ----
$15.0 100% $16.4 100%
===== ==== ===== ====
Revenues in the Entertainment market increased 7% in the six months ended March
31, 2000 compared to the six months ended March 31, 1999. This increase relates
to the Company's focus on digital broadcast applications.
International sales represented 23% and 27% of total sales for the six months
ended March 31, 2000 and 1999. Sales through Silicon Graphics Inc. (SGI) totaled
$3.7 million or 25% of total sales for the six-month period ended March 31,
2000, compared to $5.1 million or 31% for the same period last year.
The Company's revenue growth in fiscal 2000 is dependent on market acceptance of
new products, expansion of products into new applications within its targeted
market segments, and success of programs which specify Ciprico products.
Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, was 47% and 46% for the three-month
and six-month periods ended March 31, 2000 compared to 51% for the same periods
last year. This decrease in the margin percentage is the result of an
unfavorable mix of products combined with the impact of spreading fixed
manufacturing cost over a lower sales volume. Gross profit margins are highly
dependent on the Company's ability to transition to new generation disk drives
and to manage the rapid decline in disk drive prices. The Company anticipates
fiscal 2000 gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, to continue in the high
forty percent range.
Research and development expenses decreased $36,000 and $288,000 for the three
months and six months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to the same period last
fiscal year, primarily due to reduction in the use of outside consultants and
prototypes between periods. The Company expects that research and development
expenses in fiscal 2000 will increase from the current levels as headcount is
added and prototype expenses are incurred.
Sales and marketing expenses increased $468,000, or 21%, for the current quarter
as compared to the same quarter of last year and $700,000, or 16%, for the six
months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to the same period last fiscal year
primarily due to the addition of headcount. The Company expects that sales and
marketing expenses in Fiscal 2000 will increase with the addition of headcount.

<PAGE>
General and administrative expenses decreased $294,000 and $425,000 for the
three months and six months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to the same periods
last fiscal year. These decreases reflect collection of previously reserved
accounts as well as reduced compensation expense.
Other Income of $454,000 and $926,000 for the three-month and six-month periods
ended March 31, 2000 increased 8% and 10% compared to the same periods last year
due to higher interest rates and interest income on higher average cash and
investment balances.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of March 31, 2000, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities totaling $35.4 million compared to $35.9 million at the end of fiscal
1999.
Cash flows from operating activities were $.2 million for the six months ended
March 31, 2000 compared to $3.6 million for the same period last year. The
Company made capital expenditures totaling $.7 million during the six months
ended March 31, 2000 compared to $1.1 million for the same period in the prior
year. The Company anticipates that capital expenditures for fiscal 2000 will
approximate $2 million. During fiscal 1998, the Company initiated a stock
buyback program of up to $6.0 million. During the six months ended March 31,
2000, 25,000 shares of common stock were purchased for $262,500. The remaining
authorization as of March 31, 2000 is for $.5 million.
Management believes that current cash balances and cash generated from
operations will be adequate to fund requirements for working capital and capital
expenditures, as well as any potential acquisition in fiscal 2000.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements in this Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements as defined
in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements relate
to levels of future sales and expenditures and imply continued financial
improvement. Because of numerous risks and uncertainties in the Company's
business activity, actual results could differ materially from those implied.
Investors should consider: the impact on revenues and earnings of the timing of
product enhancements and new product releases; market acceptance of new
products; sales and distribution issues; competition; dependence on suppliers;
dependence on the cost of disk drives; limited backlog; and the historic and
recurring pattern of a disproportionate percentage of total quarterly sales
occurring in the last month and weeks of a quarter. For a more complete
description, see "Forward-looking Information" under Management's Discussion and
Analysis included in the Annual Report for the year ended September 30, 1999.

CIPRICO INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company invests its excess cash in commercial paper and highly rated U.S.
government agencies. All investments are held-to-maturity. The market risk on
such investments is minimal. Receivables from sales to foreign customers are
denominated in U.S. Dollars. If the currencies of these countries were to fall
significantly against the U.S. Dollar, there can be no assurance that such
companies would be able to repay the receivables in full. Transactions at the
Company's foreign subsidiaries, Ciprico International Limited and Ciprico
Asia-Pacific Inc. are denoted in pound sterling and yen, respectively. The
Company has historically had minimal exposure to changes in foreign currency
exchange rates, and as such, has not used derivative financial instruments to
manage foreign currency fluctuation risk.
