Item 7. Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and Exhibits

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors of
FlowWise Networks, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of FlowWise Networks, Inc. (a
California corporation in the development stage) as of December 31, 1998 and
1997 and the related statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash
flows for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1999 and for the period from
inception (March 6, 1996) to December 31, 1996 and 1998. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
out audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those Standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing, the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of FlowWise networks, Inc. as of
December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of operations and its cash flows for
the years then ended December 31, 1998 and 1999 and for the period from
inception (March 6, 1996) to December 31, 1996 and 1998, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                          (A development stage company)

                          Notes to Financial Statements
                                December 31, 1998

1. Organization and Operations of the Company

FlowWise Networks, Inc. (the "Company" or "FlowWise"), formerly CellSwitch
Networks, Inc. and MediaWise Networks, Inc., a California corporation, was
incorporated in March 1996. FlowWise develops, designs, manufactures and markets
computer networking equipment products designed for use with medium to large
local area networks. In March 1996, the Company acquired property, licensed
technology, and was assigned certain agreements from Ramp Networks, Inc. ("Ramp
Networks"), formerly Trancell Systems, Inc., for approximately $83,000. Ramp
Networks is considered a related party because, in March 1996, the Company was
spun-off from Ramp Networks with each shareholder of Ramp Networks receiving one
share of the Company for each share of Ramp Networks the held.

Through December 31, 1998, the Company's principal efforts have been focused on
raising capital, developing its products and recruiting personnel.

The Company is in the development stage and subject to a number of risks
associated with companies in a similar stage of development, including
dependence on key employees for technology development and support, volatility
of the industry, potential competition from larger, more established companies,
the ability to penetrate the market with its products and the ability to obtain
adequate financing to support its growth.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements: 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 disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

Reclassifications:

Certain prior year amounts in the financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the 1998 presentation.

Cash and cash equivalents:

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist
of investments with original maturities of less than three months. As of
December 31, 1998, the Company's cash and cash equivalents consisted of cash in
bank checking and money market accounts.

Marketable securities:

Marketable securities primarily consist of U.S. Treasury bills having maturities
of less than one year. Such investments are classified as available-for-sale and
are held by one investment bank. The difference between the cost basis and the
market value of the Company's investments and unrealized gross holding gains and
losses was not material as of December 31, 1998. Realized gains and losses are
recorded on the specific identification method.

6. Shareholders' Equity

Convertible preferred stock:

Series B preferred stock and 4,569,289 shares have been designated Series C
preferred stock.

The rights and preferences of the outstanding Series A, B and C preferred stock
are as follows:

      Dividends

      The holders of Series A, B and C preferred stock are entitled to receive
      noncumulative dividends at an annual rate of $.20 per share. Such
      dividends shall be payable only when, as, and if declared by the Board of
      Directors. No dividends shall be payable on any common stock until
      dividends on Series A, B and C preferred stock have been paid or declared
      by the Board of Directors. As of December 31, 1998, no dividends have been
      declared.

      Liquidation preference

      receive, in preference to holders of common stock, the amount of $2.67 per
      share plus all declared but unpaid dividends. Such amounts will be
      adjusted for any stock split, stock dividends and recapitalizations. If


                                       9
<PAGE>

      such amounts are not available to sufficiently satisfy the full
      preferential amount, the entire assets of the Company will be distributed
      to preferred shareholders in proportion to their aggregate liquidation
      preference. Upon the completion of the initial distribution to holders of
      preferred stock, the remaining assets of the Company will be distributed
      among holders of the preferred stock and common stock held by each,
      assuming conversion of all such preferred stock until the holders of the
      preferred stock shall have received an aggregate of $8.01 per share, which
      includes liquidation amounts previously mentioned above. As of December
      31, 1998, the aggregate liquidation preference was $21,015,006.

      Voting rights

      The holders of the Series A, B and C preferred stock are entitled to the
      number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which
      such preferred stock is convertible.

      Each share of Series A, B and C preferred stock is convertible into one
      share of common stock at the option of the holder at any time after the
      date of issuance of such shares, or at the consummation of the Company's
      sale of common stock in an underwritten public offering which results in
      net cash proceeds to the Company of at least $20,000,000 and with an

The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average
assumptions used for grants in 1998 and 1997: risk free interest rate of 6.25
percent; expected dividend yields of 0 percent; expected lives of 4 years;
expected volatility of 0.01 percent (the Company is a private entity).

price per share for incentive stock options cannot be less than the fair market
value, as determined by the Board of Directors, on the date of the grant.

has recorded a valuation allowance for the entire net deferred tax asset.

The Company has a 401(k) savings plan for all eligible employees and their
beneficiaries. Contributions by the Company are discretionary. There have been
no contributions by the Company (approved or payable) from inception to December

lenders. The loan is to be repaid over 36 months with principal payments of
$151,500 per month and interest at 12.3% per annum. In connection with this term
loan, a warrant was issued to purchase 239,808 shares of Series C preferred
