Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998
(in millions)
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Formed in 1987 as a division of Comdisco, Inc., Comdisco Ventures group
(the "company") provides venture leases, venture debt and direct equity
financing to venture capital-backed companies. Venture leases are leases
with warrants that compensate the company for providing equipment leases
with terms having lower periodic cash costs than leases without warrants.
Similarly, venture debt is a high-risk loan with warrants or a
conversion-to-equity feature with more flexible terms, having lower
periodic costs and security conditions, than more traditional debt
financing. The company's principal market is North America.
The company's cash activity is reflected through the inter-group payable
account. Interest expense on the inter-group payable account, included in
the accompanying financial statements, amounted to $61 million, $24
million, and $11 million in the years ended September 30, 2000, 1999, and
1998, respectively.
The company is allocated certain shared services and support activity of
Comdisco, Inc., consisting of, among other things, financial and accounting
services, information system services, certain selling and marketing
activities, executive management, human resources, corporate finance,
legal, and corporate planning activities. Such allocated expenses amounted
to $4 million, $3 million, and $1 million in the years ended September 30,
2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. The company was allocated such expenses
based on use and other criteria which management believes is reasonable.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
INCOME TAXES
The company is included in the consolidated Federal and state income tax
returns of Comdisco, Inc. Income tax expense has been computed as if the
company filed its own income tax returns. Related current tax liabilities
are settled through the inter-group payable account.
The company uses the asset and liability method to account for income
taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future
tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax basis. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if
necessary, by a valuation allowance for any tax benefits of which future
realization is uncertain.
<PAGE>
LEASE ACCOUNTING
See notes 4, 5 and 6 of notes to financial statements for a description of
lease accounting policies, lease revenue recognition, and related costs.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: Cash equivalents are comprised of highly liquid
debt instruments with original maturities of 90 days or less. The cash
balance at September 30, 2000 is cash that has been committed to be
invested but had not yet been remitted to the investee.
OTHER ASSETS
Other assets consists primarily of inventory of equipment and property,
plant and equipment. Inventory of equipment is stated at the lower of cost
or market by categories of similar equipment. Property, plant and equipment
is carried at cost and is depreciated using the straight-line method over
the estimated useful lives of the related assets ranging from three to five
years.
INVESTMENTS IN EQUITY SECURITIES
The company determines the appropriate classification of marketable
securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation at each
balance sheet date. Marketable securities classified as available-for-sale
are carried at fair value, based on quoted market prices, net of estimated
commission expenses, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from
earnings and reported in accumulated other comprehensive income. Equity
investments for which there is no readily determinable fair value are
carried at cost, less any appropriate valuation allowance.
WARRANTS
The company's investments in warrants (received in connection with its
lease or other financings) are initially recorded at zero cost and carried
in the financial statements as follows:
o Warrants that meet the criteria for classification as
available-for-sale are carried at fair value based on quoted market
prices with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and
reported in accumulated other comprehensive income.
o Warrants that do not meet the criteria for classification as
available-for-sale are carried at zero value.
The proceeds received from the sale or liquidation are recorded as income
on the trade date.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications have been made in the 1998 and 1999 financial
statements to conform to the 2000 presentation.
<PAGE>
(2) EQUITY SECURITIES
The company provides financing to privately-held companies in networking,
optical networking, software, communications, Internet-based and other
industries through the purchase of equity securities. For equity
investments, which are non-quoted investments, the company's policy is to
regularly review the assumptions underlying the operating performance and
cash flow forecasts in assessing the carrying values. The company
identifies and records impairment losses on equity securities when events
and circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired. During 2000
and 1999, certain of these investments in privately held companies became
available-for-sale securities when issuers completed initial public
offerings.
Equity securities at September 30, 2000 were as follows (in millions):

Realized gains or losses are recorded on the trade date based upon the
difference between the proceeds and the cost basis determined using the
specific identification method. Changes in the valuation of
available-for-sale securities are included as changes in the unrealized
holding gains in accumulated other comprehensive income. Net realized gains
from the sales of equity investments were $202 million, $6 million and $1
million in fiscal 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. Gross realized gains
from the sales of equity securities were $206 million, $8 million, and $2
million in fiscal 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively.
<PAGE>
The company records the proceeds received from the sale or liquidation of
warrants received in conjunction with its lease or other financings as
income on the trade date. These proceeds were $204 million, $75 million,
and $14 million in fiscal 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively.

===== =====
The company provides loans to privately held venture capital-backed
companies in networking, optical networking, software, communications,
Internet-based and other industries. The company's loans are generally
structured as equipment loans or subordinated loans.
The amount of each loan varies, but generally does not exceed $10 million.
The loans bear fixed interest rates currently ranging from 8% to 13% per
annum. In addition, loan processing fees typically ranging from .75% to
1.5% of the principal amount of the loan commitment may be paid at closing.
As part of the transaction, the company receives warrants to purchase an
equity interest in its customer, or a conversion option, in each case at a
stated exercise price based on the price paid by venture capitalists. Loans
provide current income from interest and fees.
Contractual maturities of total notes receivables as of September 30, 2000
were as follows: 2001 - $296 million; 2002 - $320 million; 2003 - $170
million; 2004 - $4 million. Actual cash flows will vary from contractual
maturities due to prepayments and charge-offs.
The allowance for credit losses includes management's estimate of the
amounts expected to be lost on specific accounts and for losses on other as
of yet unidentified accounts included in receivables at September 30, 2000,
including estimated losses on future noncancelable lease rentals. In
estimating the reserve component for unidentified losses within the
receivables and lease portfolio, management relies on historical
experience, adjusted for any known trends, including industry trends, in
the portfolio.
Changes in the allowance for credit losses (combined notes and accounts
receivables) for the years ended September 30, were as follows (in
millions):
2000 1999 1998
----- ----- -----
Balance at beginning of year... $ 17 $ 6 $ 5

(4) LEASE ACCOUNTING POLICIES
FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13 requires that a
lessor account for each lease by either the direct financing, sales-type,
or operating method.
LEASED ASSETS
o Direct financing and sales-type leased assets consist of the present
value of the future minimum lease payments plus the present value of the
residual (collectively referred to as the net investment). Residual is the
estimated fair market value at lease termination. In estimating the
equipment's fair value at lease termination, the company relies on
historical experience by equipment type and manufacturer and, where
available, valuations by independent appraisers, adjusted for known trends.
The company's estimates are reviewed continuously to ensure realization;
however, the amounts the company will ultimately realize could differ from
the estimated amounts.
o Operating leased assets consist of the equipment cost, less the amount
depreciated to date.
REVENUE, COSTS, AND EXPENSES
o Direct financing leases - Revenue consists of interest earned on the
present value of the lease payments and residual. Revenue is recognized
periodically over the lease term as a constant percentage return on the net
investment. There are no costs and expenses related to direct financing
leases since leasing revenue is recorded on a net basis.
o Sales-type leases - Revenue consists of the present value of the total
contractual lease payments which is recognized at lease inception. Costs
and expenses consist of the equipment's net book value at lease inception,
less the present value of the residual. Interest earned on the present
value of the lease payments and residual, which is recognized periodically
over the lease term as a constant percentage return on the net investment,
is included in direct financing lease revenue in the statement of earnings.
o Operating leases - Revenue consists of the contractual lease payments and
is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Costs and
expenses are principally depreciation of the equipment. Depreciation is
recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term to the company's
estimate of the equipment's fair market value at lease termination, also
commonly referred to as "residual" value. In estimating the equipment's
fair value at lease termination, the company relies on historical
experience by equipment type and manufacturer and, where available,
valuations by independent appraisers, adjusted for known trends. The
company's estimates are reviewed continuously to ensure realization;
however, the amounts the company will ultimately realize could differ from
the amounts assumed in determining depreciation on the equipment in the
operating lease portfolio at September 30, 2000.
o Initial direct costs related to operating and direct financing leases are
capitalized and amortized over the lease term.
<PAGE>
(5) LEASED ASSETS
The components of the net investment in direct financing and sales-type
leases as of September 30 are as follows (in millions):
2000 1999

(6) LEASE PORTFOLIO INFORMATION
The size of the company's lease portfolio can be measured by the cost of
leased assets at the date of lease inception. Cost at lease inception
represents either the equipment's original cost or its net book value at
termination of a prior lease. The following table summarizes, by year of
lease commencement and by year of projected lease termination, the cost at
lease inception for all leased assets recorded at September 30, 2000 (in

Notes receivable including

</TABLE>
Fair values were determined as follows:
o The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value
because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.
o Equity instruments are based on quoted market prices for
available-for-sale securities, and, for non-quoted equity instruments,
based on the lower of management's estimates of fair value or cost. The
company's investment in warrants of public companies were valued at the bid
quotation.
o Notes receivable are estimated by discounting future cash flows using the
current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with
similar business profiles.
