ITEM 7(a)  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF BUSINESS ACQUIRED.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of TxPort, Inc.


In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related
consolidated statements of operations, of shareholders' equity and related party
liabilities and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of TxPort, Inc. and its subsidiary at November 15, 1998 and
December 31, 1997 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for
the periods then ended and the results of their operations for the period July
3, 1996 through December 31, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which
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, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

TxPort, Inc. is a member of a group of affiliated companies owned by Danaher
Corporation ("Danaher") and, as disclosed in Notes 4 and 6 to the consolidated
financial statements, certain administrative, technical, and financing services
are provided to TxPort, Inc. by Danaher or its affiliates. It is possible that
the terms of these services are not the same as those that would result from
transactions among wholly unrelated parties.

TXPORT, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1.    THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      THE COMPANY
      TxPort, Inc. (the "Company") was originally incorporated in Alabama in
      1990 and was reincorporated in Delaware in 1995. The Company designs,
      manufactures and sells customer premise telecommunication access products
      serving the functional applications of channel service units ("CSU"),
      channel service unit/data service units ("CSU/DSU"), multiplexers, and
      frame relay access devices. The Company is currently developing several
      new products that address the growing interest in incorporating CSU/DSU
      functionality with other hardware platforms.

      The Company's customers include major U.S. long distance and local
      exchange carriers, as well as various telecom Value Added Resellers/Value
      Added Distributors.

      The Company's primary premise is located in Madison, Alabama.

      CONSOLIDATION
      The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
      and its wholly owned subsidiary, TxPort Data, Inc. (incorporated in
      Canada). Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

      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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
      the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

      CASH EQUIVALENTS
      The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an
      original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

      CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
      Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a
      concentration of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, short-term
      investments and accounts receivable. The Company's accounts receivable are
      derived from revenue earned from customers located principally in the U.S.
      The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers'
      financial condition and, generally, requires no collateral from its
      customers. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts
      receivable based upon the expected collectibility of accounts receivable.

      The following table summarizes the revenues from customers in excess of
      10% of the total revenues:

TXPORT, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      At November 15, 1998, these three companies accounted for 15.1%, 17.9% and
      11.4% of total accounts receivable, respectively. At December 31, 1997,
      they accounted for 18.7%, 12.3% and 24.7% of total accounts receivable,
      respectively.

      INVENTORY
      Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, cost being
      determined using the first-in, first-out method.

      PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
      Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using
      the straight-line method over the shorter of estimated useful lives of the
      assets, generally two to ten years, or the lease term of the respective
      assets.

      LONG-LIVED ASSETS
      The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets in
      accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121,
      "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
      Assets to be Disposed of ("SFAS 121"). SFAS 121 requires recognition of
      impairment of long-lived assets in the event the net book value of such
      assets exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such
      assets.

      GOODWILL
      Goodwill resulting from the acquisition of Acme-Cleveland Corporation (the
      Company's parent) by Danaher Corporation is included in intangibles at
      November 15, 1998 and December 31, 1997, and is being amortized using the
      straight line method over forty years.

      STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
      The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation arrangements in
      accordance with provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
      "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," ("APB No. 25") and complies
      with the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
      Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ("SFAS 
      No. 123").

      FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
      The Company's foreign subsidiary in Canada is considered an independent
      operation having the local currency as its functional currency.
      Accordingly, its net assets are translated at period end exchange rates,
      while its income and expense accounts are translated at average rates in
      effect during the period. Adjustments resulting from these translations
      are reflected in the Shareholders' Equity and Related Party Liabilities
      section titled "Cumulative translation adjustment."

      INCOME TAXES
      As a wholly owned subsidiary the Company's income or loss is included in a
      consolidated return for Federal income tax purposes. The income tax
      benefits resulting from net operating losses are therefore passed to other
      companies within the Group. Consideration for the benefit of net operating
      losses transferred is received at an agreed rate of 35% of the loss from
      operations. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are maintained by 
      its parent companies.

      REVENUE RECOGNITION
      The Company recognizes revenue on shipment of product except in relation
      to separately identified maintenance revenue which is recognized over the
      maintenance period.

4.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

      The Company is a member of a group of affiliated companies owned by
      Danaher Corporation ("Danaher"). Significant related party transactions
      with Danaher and its affiliates not disclosed elsewhere in the financial
      statements are as follows:

      RELATED PARTY SALES
      The Company was a subcontract manufacturer for an affiliate. The revenue
      and cost of sales are separately shown in the consolidated statements of
      operations. These transactions declined throughout 1998 with the last
      occurring in September 1998. Revenues recorded are not necessarily
      indicative of those that would have been recorded if the Company had not
      been a related entity.

      TECHNICAL SERVICES
      Danaher and its affiliates own or have the right to use patents, know-how
      and other proprietary technology as well as substantial expertise in the
      design and manufacture of products and systems using this technology. In
      consideration for the use of the technology and expertise, the Company
      paid Danaher and its affiliates a percentage of revenue. The expense for
      these services amounted to $482,000, $832,000 and $588,000 for the period
      ended November 15, 1998, the year ended December 31, 1997 and the period
      ended December 31, 1996, respectively. Such charges and allocations are
      not necessarily indicative of the costs that would have been incurred if
      the Company had not been a related entity.

      CONSULTING SERVICES
      Danaher provides to the Company various administrative services such as
      cash management; employee pension plan and benefits management; tax,
      accounting, financial reporting and regulatory compliance services and
      administration; and tax, financial and strategic planning services.  The
      costs of these functions have been allocated to the Company based on a
      percentage of revenue methodology. The allocated costs of these services
      amounted to $966,000, $1,386,000 and $958,000 for the period ended
      November 15, 1998, the year ended December 31, 1997 and the period ended
      December 31, 1996, respectively. Such charges and allocations are not
      necessarily indicative of the costs that would have been incurred if the
      Company had not been a related entity.


5.    INCOME TAXES

      The Company had carried forward state income tax net operating losses of
      $3,085,000, $9,199,000 and $15,810,000 at December 31, 1996, December 31,
      1997 and November 15, 1998, respectively. Management believes that, based
      on a number of factors, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax
      assets as a result of the net operating losses will not be utilized, such
      that a full valuation allowance has been recorded.

6.    LONG TERM NOTE PAYABLE TO RELATED PARTY

      The Company entered into a promissory note in the amount of $55,000,000
      with a related party on July 31, 1996. The note bears interest at a rate
      of 2% over the yield on the U.S. Treasury's 30-year benchmark bond and the
      total amount is due on July 31, 2006. Interest is calculated on the basis
      of a year of 365 days and payable on a semi-annually basis.


7.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

      PURCHASE COMMITMENTS
      At November 15, 1998, the Company had approximately $452,000 in
      noncancelable purchase commitments with suppliers. The Company expects to
      sell all products which it has committed to purchase from suppliers.

      LEASES
      The Company leases office space and equipment under noncancelable
      operating leases with various expiration dates through May 2001. The
      Company subleases certain properties for the remainder of the lease life.
      However, if TxPort extends its lease, the sublease is extended until
      November 2000. Rent expense for the period ended November 15, 1998, the
      year ended December 31, 1997 and the period ended December 31, 1996 was
      $561,000, $741,000 and $427,000, respectively. The Company recognizes rent
      expense on a straight-line basis over the lease period, and has accrued
      for rent expense incurred but not paid.

      Future minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating and capital
      leases, including lease commitments entered into subsequent to November
      15, 1998 and future minimum sublease rental receipts under noncancelable
      operating leases are as follows:

      </TABLE>


      CONTINGENCIES
      The Company has received a claim for an increased contingent payment in
      relation to an acquisition made by the Company in April 1996. Management
      believes that the Company is indemnified against such a claim by its
      parent prior to the November 16, 1998 transaction as discussed in Note 11.

      The Company is engaged in another legal proceeding included in its normal
      business activities. While it is not possible to determine the ultimate
      outcome of this action at this time, management believes that any
      liabilities resulting from the claim will not have a material adverse
      effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of
      operations.

8.    COMMON STOCK

      The Company's Articles of Incorporation, as amended, authorize the Company
      to issue 100 shares of $1 par value Common Stock.


9.    STOCK OPTION PLANS

      In December 1996, the Company adopted the 1996 Stock Option Plan (the
      "Plan"). Under the Plan, stock options were granted to employees of the
      Company. The options had a fair value, as defined in SFAS 123, of nil.
      None of the options were ever exercised. As a result of the acquisition of
      the Company by Verilink Corporation, as referred to in Note 11, all
      outstanding options and the Plan were cancelled on November 16, 1998.


10.   EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

      The Company participates in an affiliate sponsored 401(k) defined
      contribution plan covering all employees. Contributions made by the
      Company vary between 3% and 6% of employee salaries depending upon
      employee contribution levels. Employer contributions under this plan
      amounted to $267,000, $346,000 and $183,000 for the period ended November
      15, 1998, the year ended December 31, 1997 and the period ended December
      31, 1996, respectively. The Plan was superceded by a Verilink Corporation
      plan as a result of the transaction referred to in Note 11.


11.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

      On November 16, 1998, the Company was acquired by Verilink Corporation as
      part of an agreement between TxPort's parent and Verilink Corporation.
      All of TxPort's outstanding intercompany obligations to Danaher and its
      affiliates were terminated. These obligations included liabilities 
      totaling $64,471,000.

ITEM 7(b)  PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION.

     On November 16, 1998, Verilink Corporation purchased all of the outstanding
shares of TxPort, Inc. from Acme-Cleveland Corporation for $10,000,000 in cash.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial information
gives effect to the acquisition of TxPort by Verilink under the purchase method
of accounting. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated balance
sheet combines Verilink's unaudited consolidated balance sheet and TxPort's
unaudited consolidated balance sheet at September 27, 1998 as if the acquisition
had occurred on September 27, 1998.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated statements of operations
combine the historical results of operations of Verilink and TxPort for the
twelve months ended June 28, 1998 and the three months ended September 27, 1998,
giving effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred at June 30, 1997.

The pro forma financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only
and does not purport to be indicative of the operating results or financial
position that would have occurred had the acquisition been effected for the
periods indicated nor is it indicative of the future operating results or
financial position of the Company.

The pro forma adjustments are based upon information and assumptions available
at the time of the filing of this Form 8-K/A. The pro forma information should
be read in conjunction with the historical audited and unaudited consolidated

Information

Note 1 - Pro Forma Adjustments

The following adjustments were applied to the historical condensed financial
statements to arrive at the pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial
statements.

(a) On November 16, 1998 Verilink Corporation completed its acquisition of
    TxPort, Inc. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method,
    accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and
    liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair value as of the acquisition
    date. The allocation of the purchase price, assuming the acquisition
    occurred on September 27, 1998, for pro forma purposes, is as follows:


    Cash Paid                                      $10,000,000
    Estimated acquisition costs                        500,000
                                                 --------------
                                                   $10,500,000
                                                 ==============

    Tangible assets                                $ 5,167,000
    Intangible assets                                5,535,000
    In-process research and development              3,330,000
    Liabilities assumed                             (3,532,000)
                                                 --------------
                                                   $10,500,000
                                                 ==============

    Liabilities assumed includes amounts which were not included in the historic
    TxPort financial statements related to the payment of retention bonuses and
    severance costs of $795,000.

    On the acquisition date, Verilink recorded a charge of 3,330,000 related to 
    the in-process research and development.

(b) Reflects purchase accounting adjustments to eliminate TxPort's equity
    balance of $53,848,000, and other intangibles of $7,973,000. Note and 
    accounts payable to TxPort's affiliate were terminated as part of the 
    acquisition.

(c) Adjustment reflects the amortization of the amount of the purchase price
    allocated to identified intangible assets over a period of 12 months for the
    period ended June 27, 1998 and 3 months for the period ended September 27,
    1998. The intangibles are being amortized as follows:

                                                Economic
       Intangible Asset            Amount      Useful Life
       ----------------            ------      -----------
    Existing Technology         $  720,000       3 years
    Customer Relations           1,510,000       5 years
    Assembled Workforce          1,220,000       5 years
    Goodwill                     2,085,000      10 years
                                ----------
                                $5,535,000

(d) Reflects the adjustment to remove the management and technology fee expense
    in relation to agreements with TxPort's affiliates that were terminated as a
    result of the purchase. Also eliminates the amortization of the intangible
