4.       ACQUISITION

         On April 14, 2000, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets
of Control Resources Corporation (CRC) of Fair Lawn, NJ, a wholly owned
subsidiary of P-Com, Inc. The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial
Statements include the results of operations for the acquired CRC business for
the period April 15, 2000 through June 30, 2000. CRC is a developer and
manufacturer of broadband network access and service level management systems.
Under the terms of the agreement, the purchase price was $7.8 million consisting
of $3.1 million in cash and a note for $4.7 million, payable in cash or common
stock. The seller may also be due other contingent consideration. The Company
also granted options on 207,000 shares of its stock to CRC employees at a
discount for future employment services to the Company. The acquisition has been
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, which resulted in the
recognition of approximately $6.5 million in intangible assets, to be amortized
over five years on a straight-line basis.

         The following unaudited pro-forma summary presents the consolidated
results of operations of the Company as if the acquisition had occurred at the
beginning of the periods presented herein. This presentation is for
informational purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of what would
have occurred had the acquisitions been made as of these dates or of results
which may occur in the future.

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

         The following discussion and other sections of this Form 10-Q may
contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. All
statements regarding future events, our future financial performance and
operating results, our business strategy and our financing plans are
forward-looking statements. In many cases, you can identify forward-looking
statements by terminology, such as "may," "will," "should," "expects,"
"intends," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts,"
"potential," or "continue," or the negative of such terms and other comparable
terminology. These statements are only predictions. Known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors could cause our actual results to differ
materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.

OVERVIEW

         We are a leading developer, manufacturer and distributor of broadband
and narrowband network access products for network service providers ("NSPs")
and business customers. We offer solutions that enable business class, service
level managed, high-speed connectivity over the existing telephone network
infrastructure and provide for cost-effective access speeds of up to 45 MBPS. We
market and sell our products worldwide to NSPs and business customers through a
multi-tier distribution system that includes direct sales, strategic partner
sales, NSP sales and traditional distributor or value added reseller ("VAR")
sales. We estimate that direct and indirect sales to, and services performed for
Lucent accounted for approximately 23% of our total revenues for the first six
months of 2000 versus 27% for the first six months of 1999. Sales to Rhythms, an
NSP, accounted for approximately 18% of our total revenue during the first six
months of 2000 versus 29% for the same period in 1999. Sales to Dreamline, Inc.,
also an NSP and a new customer for 2000, accounted for approximately 13% of our
total revenue during the first six months of 2000. A loss or a significant
reduction or delay in sales to any of our major customers could materially and
adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operation.

         We generally recognize revenue from equipment sales upon shipment.
Estimated sales returns based on historical experience by product are recorded
at the time the product revenue is recognized. Charges for warranty work are
included in cost of equipment sales. Revenue from services, which consists
mainly of repair of out-of-warranty products, is recognized when the services
are performed and all substantial contractual obligations have been satisfied.
License and royalty revenues are recognized when we have completed delivery of
technical specifications and performed substantially all required services under
the related agreement.

         The information contained in this Form 10-Q is not a complete
description of our business or the risks associated with an investment in us.
Readers are referred to documents filed by Paradyne with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, specifically our 1999 Form 10-K, which identify important
risk factors that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in
the forward-looking statements, including: rapid technological change could
render our products obsolete; we are substantially dependent on network service
providers, who may reduce or discontinue their purchase of products or services
at any time; our dependence on only a few major customers for a substantial
portion of our revenues exposes us to financial risks; we compete in highly
competitive markets and competition could harm our ability to sell products and
services; if we are unable to attract and retain key personnel and a skilled
workforce, we may not be able to sustain or grow our business; our dependence on
development relationships could threaten our ability to sell products; our
reliance on international sales may make us susceptible to global economic
factors, foreign tax law issues and currency fluctuations; we rely heavily on
distributors and resellers; and we depend on sole and single source suppliers
which exposes us to potential supply interruption.


QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS
ENDED JUNE 30, 1999

REVENUES. Total revenues increased $22.8 million, or 43%, to $75.6 million for
the quarter ended June 30, 2000 from $52.8 million for the same period in 1999.
As a percentage of total revenues, equipment sales were 99% of total revenues
for the quarters ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. Total revenues for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 increased $33.2 million, or 31%, to $140.0 million from
$106.8 million for the first six months of 1999. These increases were mostly
attributable to significant increases in the sale of our broadband access
products to new and existing customers. Equipment sales were 98% of total
revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to 97% for the same
period in 1999. This percentage increase was mostly due to lower royalty income
during the first six months of 2000 than the first six months of 1999. The first
six months of 1999 included a one-time royalty fee from Globespan related to
termination of an existing agreement and a one-time license fee from a third
party for intellectual property relating to narrowband technology.


                                       6

GROSS MARGIN. Gross margin increased $8.2 million, or 36%, to $30.9 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $22.7 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1999 and increased $11.2 million, or 24%, to $58.0 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $46.8 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1999. Most of the increase resulted from increased sales of our
broadband access products. Gross margin as a percentage of total revenues
decreased to 40.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from 43.0% in the
same period of 1999 primarily as a result of our competitively priced broadband
products comprising a much higher percentage of our equipment sales in the
second quarter of 2000 compared to the same period in 1999. For the six months
ended June 30, 2000, gross margin as a percentage of total revenues decreased to
41.4% from 43.8% in the same period of 1999 because the six months ended June
30, 1999 included a one-time royalty fee from Globespan related to the
termination of an existing agreement and a one-time license fee from a third
party for intellectual property relating to narrowband technology which did not
reoccur during the first six months of 2000. Additionally, our competitively
priced broadband products comprised a much higher percentage of our equipment
sales in first six months of 2000 compared to the same period in 1999. Partially
offsetting the above transactions, which resulted in an improvement to gross
margin as a percentage of revenue for the first six months of 2000 versus 1999,
was an increase in service revenue from the repair of product for one of our
major customers and a decrease in our manufacturing costs due to our cost
reduction efforts.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses increased
$1.4 million, or 16%, to $10.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000
from $9.1 million in 1999. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, research and
development expenses increased $2.2 million, or 12%, to $20.0 million compared
to $17.8 million for the same period in 1999. These increases resulted primarily
from costs associated with the increase in research and development personnel
and engineering prototype supplies. The effects of these increases were
partially offset by a decrease in professional fees related to engineering
contractors. Much of the increase in research and development personnel expense
was attributable to the April 14, 2000 acquisition of substantially all the
assets of Control Resources Corporation (CRC) from P-Com, Inc. For the three
months ended June 30, 2000, research and development expense as a percentage of
total revenues, decreased to 13.9% from 17.2% in the same period of 1999 and for
the six months ended June 30, 2000, the percentage decreased to 14.3% from 16.7%
for the same period of 1999. These decreases are primarily attributable to the
43% and 31% increases in revenue during the three and six month periods,
respectively.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE ("SG&A") EXPENSES. SG&A expenses increased
$5.0 million, or 36%, to $18.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000
from $13.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and increased $6.3
million, or 23%, to $34.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from
$27.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. Most of the increases were
due to increased advertising expenses (primarily joint advertising with a major
customer associated with the sales of new products) in addition to increases in
personnel and facilities related expenses and increases in travel related
expenses, offset in part by decreases in expenses related to consignment of
equipment to customers. SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue declined from
26.1% for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to 24.9% for the three months
ended June 30, 2000 and from 25.9% for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to
24.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2000. These decreases were primarily
attributable to the 43% and 31% increases in revenue during the three and six
month periods, respectively.

AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND DEFERRED STOCK COMPENSATION. The
amortization of intangible assets and deferred stock compensation increased to
$376,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $135,000 for the same
period in 1999 and increased to $452,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000
from $135,000 for the first six months of 1999. Most of the increase resulted
from the amortization of intangible assets acquired as a result of the purchase
of CRC from P-Com in the second quarter of 2000. The amortization of deferred
stock compensation is related to the granting of stock options to key employees
at prices deemed to be below fair market value for financial reporting purposes.

INTEREST AND OTHER (INCOME) EXPENSE, NET. Interest and other (income) expense,
net, improved by $1.2 million to $.6 million of income for the three months
ended June 30, 2000, from $.6 million of expense for the same period in 1999 and
improved by $.1 million to $1.9 million of income for the six months ended June
30, 2000, from $1.8 million of income for the same period in 1999. Interest and
other (income) expense, net, is related to interest on notes payable and
borrowings under lines of credit, interest on short term investments, foreign
exchange gains and losses, and technology sales. These increases in income and
decreases in expense were primarily attributable to an increase in interest
income resulting from the investment of proceeds from the initial public
offering (IPO) and a decrease in interest expense due to the retirement of debt
using IPO proceeds, offset in part by a reduction in the amount of income
received from the sale of patents.

PROVISION (BENEFIT) FOR INCOME TAXES. Provision for income taxes increased by
$.9 million to $.6 million of provision for the three months ended June 30,
2000, from $.3 million of benefit for the same period in 1999 and increased by
$.5 million to $1.7 million of provision for the six months ended June 30, 2000,
from $1.2 million of provision for the same period in 1999. The effective tax
rate used during the first six months of 1999 was 41%. The rate was reduced to
31% during the second half of 1999, primarily as a result of two events. First,
we completed a secondary offering during the third quarter of 1999 that reduced
Texas Pacific


                                       7
<PAGE>   10

Group's ownership below 50%, allowing us to take advantage of a tax credit for
increased research spending. Second, legislation was passed during the fourth
quarter of 1999 that extended that same tax credit from June of 1999 through
June 2004. For the year 2000, we have kept the effective tax rate at 31%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Net cash used in operations for the six months ended June 30, 2000
totaled $14.3 million. Net income totaled $8.4 million after adjusting for
non-cash impacting items such as depreciation, amortization and allowance for
bad debts. Also contributing to cash provided from operations were increases in
accounts payable totaling $20.6 million and other current liabilities totaling
$6.3 million as a result of the timing of material receipts and invoices from
vendors and increases in advertising related expenses. Decreases to cash from
operating activities offsetting the above contributions included increases in
receivables totaling $10.7 million and inventories totaling $37.1 million. The
increase in accounts receivable is attributable to an 18% increase in revenues
in the first half of 2000 over the second half of 1999 as well as timing of the
revenue during the first half of 2000. The increase in inventories reflects
management's decision to carry higher stocking levels. This decision was made as
a result of several factors including: industry wide parts shortages,
introduction of several new products in the first six months of 2000, increased
demand for our products and the customer requirement for shorter order
fulfillment cycle times.

         Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30,
2000 totaled $8.1 million. On April 14, 2000 we purchased substantially all the
assets of CRC, a developer and manufacturer of broadband network access and
service level management systems, for $7.8 million of which $3.1 million was
paid in cash. A note, payable in cash or common stock (at our election),
totaling $4.7 million was issued for the remainder of the purchase price. This
note matures in September 2000. Capital expenditures in support of operations
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 totaled $5.0 million. We anticipate that
capital requirements for the remainder of the year will be in the $3.0 million
to $3.5 million per quarter range.

         In June 2000, Paradyne and four financial institutions entered into a
credit agreement under which we and each of the financial institutions agreed
to provide funds to one of our major customers. We entered into this credit
agreement in order to develop further our relationship with this valuable
customer. Our portion of the credit agreement commitment is $25 million,
carries market interest rates that are indexed off the prime/LIBOR rates, and
is fully secured by virtually all the customer's assets. Additionally, the
customer paid us a commitment fee in the amount of $750,000 that we will
recognize over the term of the agreement. The customer must initially use any
borrowings made under the credit agreement primarily to buy telecommunications
equipment, although it is not obligated to buy this equipment from Paradyne.
Currently, we do not anticipate that this customer will make any borrowings
from us until the fourth quarter of 2000 at which time we estimate that the
customer might borrow between $5 million and $10 million dollars from us.
Although we cannot assure you that this customer will not borrow more money
under the credit agreement, we believe that the amount indicated will not
materially impact our cash flows. Further, it is our intent to pursue
assignment of our commitment under the credit agreement to other financial
institutions by the end of this calendar year.

         Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $4.6 million and
resulted primarily from the exercise of stock options during the quarter.

         We had $45.1 million of cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2000
representing a decrease of $17.8 million from $62.9 million at December 31,1999.
Working capital increased $5.8 million from $86.4 million at December 31, 1999
to $92.2 million at June 30, 2000.

         Effective January 1, 2000, we extended our revolving line of credit
facility with Bank of America until January 31, 2001, voluntarily reduced the
facility to $30.0 million and reduced the unused line fee to 0.25% per annum.
There were no borrowings under this facility during the first half of 2000.

         In connection with our efforts to obtain major new accounts we are
often required to make commitments to purchase inventory prior to having
approved purchase orders with customers due to the long lead times required for
certain parts. These commitments can impact cash flow until the purchase order
is approved, orders shipped, and cash collected. We cannot assure that we will
be successful in obtaining sufficient purchase orders, shipments and collections
in all cases, which could result in an increase in inventory levels and
negatively impact cash flow in a particular quarter or quarters.

         We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, together with cash flows
from operations and borrowings under the Bank of America line of credit
facility, will be sufficient to meet our working capital needs for at least the
next 12 months.


YEAR 2000 ISSUES

         In 1996 we identified the Year 2000 problem as a potential risk to our
operations. As a result, we developed a comprehensive multi-year plan to make
our internal computer software and hardware systems Year 2000 compliant. Our
Year 2000 compliance plan was comprised of 3 phases: an assessment phase; an
implementation phase; and a testing phase. This plan, initiated in the first
quarter of fiscal 1997, has been completed by us and, to date, we have incurred
expenses related to Year 2000 readiness of approximately $3.7 million.

         We were successful in transitioning our computer systems and equipment
to the Year 2000. Although we believe that we have implemented a comprehensive
plan for addressing the Year 2000 problem, we cannot be certain that these Year
2000 compliance efforts will be completely successful for the remainder of the
year 2000 and beyond. Nonetheless, we have not experienced, and we do not
anticipate, any significant problems related to the transition to the Year 2000.
Furthermore, we do not anticipate any significant expenditure in the future
related to Year 2000 compliance.

INFLATION

         Because of the relatively low levels of inflation experienced in 1999
and 2000 to date, inflation did not have a significant effect on our results in
such periods.


ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

         We do not engage in investing in or trading market risk sensitive
instruments. We also do not purchase, for investing, hedging, or for purposes
"other than trading", instruments that are likely to expose us to market risk,
whether interest rate, foreign currency exchange, commodity price or equity
price risk, except as noted in the following paragraph. We have not entered into
any forward or futures contracts, purchased any options or entered into any
interest rate swaps. Additionally, we do not currently engage in foreign
currency hedging transactions to manage exposure for transactions denominated in
currencies other than U.S. dollars.

         If we were to borrow from our revolving line of credit facility with
Bank of America, we would be exposed to changes in interest rates. We are also
exposed to changes in interest rates from investments in some held-to-maturity
securities. Under our current policies, we do not use interest rate derivative
instruments to manage exposure to interest rate changes.

ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS


         Our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-76385) was
declared effective on July 15, 1999 and our initial public offering occurred on
July 16, 1999. We received net proceeds of approximately $62,240,000 after
deducting estimated underwriting discounts, commissions, and offering expenses.
As of June 30, 2000, we had used approximately $31,000,000 of the net proceeds
to repay all the outstanding indebtedness from revolving line of credit facility
with Bank of America, to pay for certain capital expenditures, for working
capital, and to fund the acquisition of CRC. We intend to use the remainder of
the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including working capital and
additional capital expenditures. We are currently assessing the specific uses
and allocations for these remaining funds.

ITEM 5.  OTHER INFORMATION

         In May 2000, Betsy S. Atkins resigned as a Class II director of

director vacancy created by Ms. Atkin's resignation as soon as reasonably
practicable and once a suitable candidate is identified.
