NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       GENERAL

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of
Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes which
would be presented if such financial statements were prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. These statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements presented in the Company's
Annual Report or Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.

In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements reflect all
normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial position and results of operations for each of the periods presented.
The results of operations and cash flows for such periods are not necessarily
indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

2.       NET EARNINGS PER SHARE

Net earnings per share are based upon the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during each of the periods, including the dilutive effect of common
stock equivalents. Weighted average shares outstanding include the common stock
equivalents of the convertible debentures, stock options and warrants
outstanding during the period and net income for the purpose of calculating
earnings per share is consequently adjusted for the interest payable to
debenture holders.

3.       PRO FORMA FINANCIAL DATA

               In September 1996, the Company completed a private placement of
an aggregate of $30,000,000 principal amount of 5% convertible subordinated
debentures due August 6, 1999 (the "Debentures"). Proceeds from this private
placement were used to purchase the Fibronics Business. The Debentures were
convertible into Common Stock of the Company at any time at the option of the
holders at a discount from the market price of the Common Stock at the time of
conversion that increased over the life of the Debentures until it reached a
floor. At a meeting of the Emerging Issues Task Force held on March 13, 1997,
the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") announced its
position on the accounting treatment for the issuance of convertible preferred
stock and debt securities with a beneficial conversion feature such as that
contained in the Debentures. As announced, the SEC requires that a beneficial
conversion feature attached to instruments such as the Debentures that are
convertible into equity be recognized and measured by allocating a portion of
the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of that feature to additional paid-in
capital and charging it to interest expense. As a result of this position, the
Company added a non-recurring, non-cash charge to its results of operations for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 related to the issuance of the
Debentures in the amount of $19,100 and $427,000, respectively.

         The following unaudited pro forma summary sets forth results of
operations excluding the non-recurring charges for interest related to
convertible debentures and acquisition.

</TABLE>

Revenues

Revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 were $39,528,000 and
$75,092,000, respectively, as compared to revenues for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1996 $19,585,000 and $35,115,000, respectively. The changes
represented increases of $19,942,000 or 102% for the quarter ended June 30, 1997
over the quarter ended June 30, 1996 and $39,997,000 or 114% for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 over the six months ended June 30, 1996. Revenues increased
as a result of greater marketing efforts and greater market acceptance of the
Company's products, both domestically and internationally. International sales
accounted for approximately 58% and 57% of revenues for the quarter and six
months ended June 30, 1997, respectively, as compared to 51% and 46% of revenues
for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively. International
sales, as a percentage of total revenues, increased mainly as a result of
increased sales, marketing and support resources in place in Europe and
increased sales to the Pacific Rim region. Sales of networking products
represented approximately 75% of total sales during each of the quarter and six
months ended June 30, 1997 compared to approximately 67% and 65% for the quarter
and six months ended June 30, 1996. The increase in sales of networking products
was due primarily to increased sales of the MegaSwitch family of products.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997 were $16,643,000
and $32,031,000, respectively compared gross profit for the quarter and six
months ended June 30, 1996 of $8,174,000 and $14,715,000 for the quarter and six
months ended June 30, 1996, respectively. The changes represented increases of
$8,469,000 or 104% for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 over the quarter ended
June 30, 1996 and $17,316,000 or 118% for the six months ended June 30, 1997
over the six months ended June 30, 1996. Gross Profit as a percentage of
revenues increased from 41.7% and 41.9% during the quarter and six months ended
June 30, 1996, respectively, to 42.1% and 42.7% during the quarter and six
months ended June 30, 1997 as a result of increased sales of higher margin
products such as the MegaSwitch family of products as well as lower cost
production techniques.

Research and Development

Research and development ("R&D") expenses were $3,041,000 and $1,992,000 and
represented 7.7% and 10.2% of revenues for the quarters ended June 30, 1997 and
1996, respectively. R&D expenses were $5,789,000 and $3,676,000 and represented
7.7% and 10.5% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. In the case of absolute dollars, the 53% and 57% increases in R&D
spending during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997 over the
comparable periods in 1996 were attributable to the continued development of the
Company's networking and fiber optic products including Ethernet/Fast
Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet switches, Gigahub modules and three-way simultaneous
fiber optic transmission modules. Additional costs were also associated with the
hiring of additional research and development personnel and consultants. R&D
expenses as a percentage of revenues declined from 10.2% and 10.6% of revenues
during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, to 7.7% for
each the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997. These decreases were
primarily caused because the Company's revenues during the periods increased at
a faster rate than R&D expenses. The Company intends to continue to invest in
the research and development of new products. Management believes that the
ability of the Company to develop and commercialize new products is a key
competitive factor.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased to $6,232,000
for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 from $2,959,000 for the quarter ended June
30, 1996. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A increased from 15.1% for the quarter
ended June 30, 1996 to 15.8% for the quarter ended June 30, 1997. SG&A expenses
increased to $12,007,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from $5,095,000
for the six months ended June 30, 1996. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A
increased from 14.5% for the six months ended June 30, 1996 to 16.0% for the six
months ended June 30, 1997. The increases in SG&A expense, both in dollar
amounts and as a percentage of sales, are due primarily to substantially
increased marketing efforts as well as additional personnel and overhead costs
in additional and expanded locations.

Interest Expense Related to Convertible Debentures and Acquisition

To give effect to the accounting treatment announced by the staff of the SEC at
the March 13, 1997 meeting of the Emerging Issues Task Force relevant to the
Company's issuance of the Debentures having "beneficial conversion" features,
the value of the fixed discount has been reflected in the Company's financial
statements at and for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997 as
additional interest expense and such fixed discount has been accreted through
the first possible conversion date of the respective issuance. The Company will
not need to report future charges relating to the issuance of the Debentures
beyond the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997 as the outstanding
principal and accrued interest were paid in full at April 4, 1997 through
conversion into Common Stock. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below.

Net Income

Net income increased from $2,346,000 and $4,162,000 for the quarter and six
months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, to $5,209,000 and $9,552,000 for the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively. Net income increased
primarily due to substantially increased sales.

<PAGE>   9

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

In October 1994, the Company received proceeds of approximately $5,497,000 from
the issuance of 3,439,430 shares of Common Stock, upon exercise of the same
number of warrants that had been issued in the Company's initial public offering
of December 1992. In January 1995, the Company received net proceeds of
approximately $9,355,000 from the public offering of 2,700,000 shares of Common
Stock.

In September 1996, the Company completed a private placement of $30,000,000
principal amount of Debentures. The Debentures were convertible into Common
Stock at a discount from the market price at the time of conversion. At April 4,
1997, principal and accrued interest on the Debentures had been paid in full
through their conversion into a total of 1,816,159 shares of Common Stock at an
average conversion rate of $16.77 per share. As part of the private placement,
the Company also issued to the investors three-year warrants to purchase an
aggregate of up to 600,000 shares of Common Stock at a weighted average exercise
price of $26.67 per share.

In September 1996, the Company completed the Fibronics Acquisition from Elbit.
The purchase price for the Fibronics Business was approximately $22,800,000. The
purchase price was paid using a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock
of the Company. The cash was provided from a portion of the proceeds of the
private placement of Debentures. Elbit subsequently resold the shares of Common
Stock it received from the Company in the open market.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 1997
was $1,518,000. Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 were $1,288,000. The cash used in financing activities was
primarily used for repurchase of the Common Stock from Elbit. Net cash used in
investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $7,695,000. The
cash used in investing activities was primarily used to purchase investments
U.S. Government securities.

INFLATION

The company believes that the relatively moderate rate of inflation over the
past few years has not had a significant impact on the Company's sales or
operating results, or on the prices of raw materials.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

As previously reported, in July 1996, R. Douglas Sherrod, a former employee of
the Company who was terminated in August 1994, filed an action in Superior Court
of Los Angeles County, California against the Company and three of its executive
officers and directors, Mr. Noam Lotan, Dr. Shlomo Margalit and Dr. Zeev
Rav-Noy. In July 1997, the parties agreed to settle the lawsuit for, among other
things, Mr. Sherrod's agreement to release his claims and dismiss his lawsuit
with prejudice. The terms of the settlement for the Company are considered by
management not to be material to the Company's financial condition or results of
operations.

On December 27, 1996, Datapoint Corporation ("Datapoint") brought an action
against the NBase Communications, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company ("NBase")
and several other defendants in the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of New York alleging infringement of two of Datapoint's patents related
to LANs, more particularly to claimed improved LANs which interoperatively
combines additional enhanced capability and/or which provides multiple different
operational capabilities. In the same lawsuit, Datapoint alleges that other
defendants including Dayna Communications, Inc., Sun Microsystems, Inc.,
Adaptec, Inc., International Business Machines Corporation, Lantronix and SVEC
America Computer Corporation have infringed the same two patents. The Company
has been advised that several other companies, including Intel Corporation and
Cisco Systems, Inc. have also had actions brought against them by Datapoint with
respect to the same two patents. The action against NBase and its codefendants
seeks, among other things, an injunction against the manufacture or sale of
products which embody the inventions set forth in the two patents and single and
treble damages for the alleged infringement. Datapoint's complaint also seeks to
have the court determine that the named defendants shall serve as
representatives of a defendant class of manufacturers, vendors and users of
products allegedly infringing on Datapoint's claimed patents from which
defendant class Datapoint seeks the same relief as from the individual
defendants. The Company is cooperating with several of the defendants in pursuit
of common defenses and believes it has meritorious defenses to this action. If a
conclusion unfavorable to the Company is reached, however, Datapoint's claim
could materially affect the business, operating results and financial condition
of the Company.

(c)      During August and September 1996, the Company sold an aggregate of $30
         million principal amount 5% convertible subordinated debentures due

         $26.67 per share for three years to a total of 14 investors in a
         private financing, receiving proceeds aggregating $30 million. The
         Debentures were convertible into Common Stock of the Company at any
         time at the option of the holders at a discount from the market price
         of the Common Stock at the time of conversion that increased over the
         life of the Debentures until it reached a floor. During the period from
         April 1 to April 4, 1997 the balance of the outstanding $300,000 of the
         $30 million principal amount of Debentures and accrued interest thereon
         were converted into 18,159 shares of Common Stock.

         The issuance of shares upon conversion of the Debentures were not
         effected through any broker-dealer, and no underwriting discounts or
         commissions were paid in connection with such issuance. Exemption from
