         NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.    THE COMPANY:

BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

Netrix  Corporation  doing  business  as Nx  Networks,  (the  "Company"  or  "Nx
Networks"),  is a worldwide  provider of internet  telephony and data networking
solutions.  The Company combines patented,  switched,  compressed voice and data
technology  with  advanced  packet  data  networking   capabilities  to  provide
networking  solutions that improve  network  performance and deliver an array of
tangible network services. The Company is headquartered in Herndon, Virginia and
conducts  operations out of its locations in the United States,  United Kingdom,
Hong Kong, France and Italy. The Company's  customers include service providers,
multinational corporations and government agencies in over 60 countries.

MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS

ACQUISITION OF OPENROUTE

On December 22, 1999, the Company  completed the merger with OpenROUTE  Networks
("OpenROUTE")  with  and  into  Netrix  Corporation.  The  transaction  has been
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting for business  combinations
and the operating  results of OpenROUTE  have been included in the  accompanying
condensed consolidated financial statement from the date of acquisition.

ACQUISITION OF AETHERWORKS

On December 31, 1999, the Company entered into an agreement (the "Agreement") to
acquire  AetherWorks  Corporation  ("AetherWorks"),  a development stage company
with no revenue since it's inception in 1993.  AetherWorks  is developing  voice
and  data  carrier  class  convergence  solutions  for  the   telecommunications
industry. The acquisition was effected, on March 16, 2000, through the merger of
AetherWorks  with  and  into  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of the  Company.  The
acquisition  was  accounted  for under the  purchase  method of  accounting  for
business  combinations  and the  operating  results  of  AetherWorks  have  been
included in the accompanying  condensed  consolidated  financial statements from
the date of acquisition.

Under the terms of the  AetherWorks  transaction,  the  holders  of  AetherWorks
common stock,  warrants, and stock options converted at a rate of 1.38 shares of
Netrix Common Stock,  warrants,  and stock options. The Company issued 2,622,278
shares of common  stock and warrants  and options to acquire  867,722  shares of
common stock.  The shares were valued at $22.94,  average of closing  prices for
three days before and after March 16, 2000. The warrants and options were valued
at  approximately  $16.2  million  using the  Black-Scholes  model  assuming 130
percent  volatility,  a risk free  interest rate of 6.32 percent and an exercise
period of three years.  Pursuant to the Agreement,  the Company  settled an $8.0
million obligation of AetherWorks upon the closing of the acquisition.

Under the  terms of the  Agreement,  an  adjustment  will be made to the  merger
consideration  if the  closing  price of its common  stock on the  Nasdaq  Stock
Market for the 15 trading  day period  ended  October 31, 2000 does not equal or
exceed $22.50 per share.  In such event,  additional  shares of its common stock
will be issued such that the consideration per share of AetherWorks common stock
is equal to $22.50 per share based upon that average closing price; provided the
total  number of shares of its common stock issued in the merger will not exceed
19.9% of the total of the Company's then  outstanding  shares.  At closing,  the
Company also issued to AetherWorks'  employees options to acquire a total of 1.0
million shares of its common stock.  The options have an exercise price of $6.81
per  share  and vest  over a two to three  year  period.  The  Company  recorded
deferred  compensation  expense of $16.1 million for the difference  between the
exercise  price and the fair  market  of the  stock on the date of  grant.  This

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

expense will be amortized over the options vesting period of which approximately
$0.6 was expensed in the quarter ended March 31, 2000.

The purchase price of Aetherworks,  including  transaction costs of $0.3 million
was $87.2 million.  A summary of assets and liabilities  acquired,  at estimated
fair market value was as follows (in thousands):

        Current assets                          $  99
        Property and equipment                  1,403
        Assembled workforce                       300
        In-process R&D                         30,800
        Goodwill                               55,745
        Current liabilities                   (1,157)
                                              -------
                                              $87,190

The amount allocated to assembled workforce and goodwill is being amortized over
their estimated useful life of 4 years using the straight-line method.

The Company valued in process  research and development  "IPR&D" acquired in the
acquisition  at  $30.8  million  based  upon  an  independent  appraisal  of the
development project for which technological feasibility had not been established
and no alternative  future uses exist. The acquired IPR&D project is targeted at
the telecommunications  market. This product is being developed specifically for
and is intended to have substantial incremental functionality,  greatly improved
speed and wider range of interfaces than NX Networks then current technology.

The value of the IPR&D project  identified  was  determined  by  estimating  the
future cash flows from the project, once commercially feasible,  discounting the
net cash flows back to their  present  value and then  applying a percentage  of
completion to the calculated value. The percentage of completion for the project
was determined using milestones  representing  management's  estimate of effort,
value added and degree of difficulty of the portion of the project  completed as
of March 16, 2000, as compared to the remaining  research and  development to be
completed to bring the project to technical feasibility. The development process
was grouped  into three phases with each phase  containing  between one and five
milestones.  The three phases were: (i) researching the market  requirements and
the  engineering   architecture  and  feasibility   studies;   (ii)  design  and
verification;  and (iii)  prototyping and testing the product (both internal and
customer testing). Aetherworks project started in 1998, as of March 16, 2000 the
Company estimated that the project was 75% complete.

Development of the technology  remains a substantial  risk to the Company due to
factors including the remaining effort to achieve technical feasibility, rapidly
changing   customer  needs  and  competitive   threats  from  other   companies.
Additionally,  the value of the other  intangible  assets  acquired  may  become
impaired.  Failure to bring these  products to market in a timely  manner  could
adversely affect future sales and profitability of the combined company.

The unaudited pro forma information  presented below reflects the acquisition of
Aetherworks  and  OpenROUTE  as if it had  occurred on January 1, 2000 and 1999,
excluding  the one time  $30.8  million  IPR&D  charge  in  connection  with the
Aetherworks  acquisition.  The results are not necessarily  indicative of future
operating  results or of what would have occurred had the  acquisition  actually
been consummated on that date (in thousands, except per share data):

RISKS AND OTHER IMPORTANT FACTORS

The Company  has  reported a net loss in each of the last five years and for the
three  months  ended March 31,  2000.  The Company  reported net losses of $48.4
million inclusive of IPR&D charges of $30.8 million.  The success and the future
of the Company is dependent  on its ability to generate  operating  income.  The
Company's ability to generate operating income is in large part dependent on its
success at increasing  sales of its new products and/or  controlling  costs. The
Company's  plan to  increase  revenues  through  sales  of its new  products  is
continuing to evolve; however, due to market conditions,  competitive pressures,
and other factors beyond its control there can be no assurances that the Company
will be able to adequately increase new product sales in the future.

During March 2000,  the Company  terminated  its line of credit  agreement  with
Coast  Business  Credit.  The Company is in negotiation  with various  financial
institutions  for a new  line  of  credit.  Due to the  Company's  current  cash
balance,  management does not believe that securing a line of credit is required
to fund operations for the foreseeable future.

In March 2000, the Company completed an offering of 1.0 million shares of common
stock. The offering generated proceeds of $25.1 million net of issuance costs of
$0.9 million.  $8.0 million of the proceeds were used to satisfy an  AetherWorks
obligation, which was a condition to closing the acquisition. The Company closed
the  AetherWorks  acquisition on March 16, 2000. The remaining  proceeds will be
used for general  corporate and working capital  purposes.  Management  believes
that these proceeds and future sales and the  collection of the related  account
receivables  are  sufficient to meet the Company's cash  obligations  throughout
2000.

The Company  regularly  reviews  opportunities to further its business  strategy
through  strategic  alliances with  investment in, or acquisitions of businesses
that  the  Company  believes  are  complementary  to  its  current  and  planned
operations.   The  Company's  ability  to  consummate  strategic  alliances  and
acquisitions,  and to make investments that may be of strategic significance may
require the Company to obtain additional debt and/or equity financing. There can
be no assurance  that the Company will be successful in arranging such financing
on terms management considers acceptable or at all.

The  Company's  operations  are  subject  to  certain  risks  and  uncertainties
including,  among others,  rapidly changing technology and markets,  current and
potential  competitors  with greater  financial,  technological,  production and
marketing  resources,  reliance on certain sole source suppliers and third party
contract manufacturers, and dependence on key management personnel.

The success of the Company is also dependent on its ability to generate adequate
cash for operations and capital needs. For the three months ended March 31, 2000
the Company's  operating  activities used $5.4 million  compared to $0.9 million
operating  activities  used for the three months ended March 31, 1999.  The cash
used by operations was primarily due to continued loss from operations. At March
31,  2000,  the  Company  had $17.6  million in cash and cash  equivalents.  The
Company is relying on future sales and the  collection  of the related  accounts
receivable to meet its cash obligations.

The Company may have to generate  additional equity or cash through other means,
which may  include  the sale of  assets,  including  intellectual  property  and
proprietary technology,  the sale of equity, additional borrowings,  the sale of
selected operations, or one or more strategic partnerships. Although the Company
believes it has the ability to generate  additional equity and cash through such
sales,  such sales may be dilutive and there can be no assurances  that adequate
funds will be available, or available on terms that are reasonable or acceptable
to the  Company.  If the  Company is unable to  generate  additional  equity and
adequate  cash,  there will be a material and adverse effect on the business and
financial  condition of the Company,  to the extent that a sale,  liquidation or
restructuring of the Company will be required, in whole or in part.

Future operating  results may be affected by a number of other factors including
the timing of new products in the market place,  competitive  pricing  pressures
and  economic   conditions.   As  the  market  for  the  Company's  products  is
characterized by rapidly changing technology, the development,  introduction and
evolution  of  competitive  products  may require a  significant  investment  of
financial resources.  Additionally, the Company relies on reseller channels that
are  not  under  its  control  for  a  significant   portion  of  its  revenues,
particularly in its international regions.  Additionally,  the Company relies on
sales to a leasing company and reseller  channels that are not under its control
for a portion of its revenues, particularly in its international regions. During
the three months ended March 31, 2000,  the Company  recognized  $0.2 million in
revenues from sales to a leasing company.  Also, while the Company has generally
been able to obtain adequate supplies of components to date, the interruption or
termination of the Company's current  manufacturing  relationships could have an
adverse effect on the Company's operating results.

2.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The accompanying  condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements included
herein have been  prepared by the Company in  accordance  with general  accepted
accounting  principles  for interim  financial  information  and pursuant to the
rules and  regulations  of the Securities  and Exchange  Commission  ("SEC") for
reporting  on  Form  10-Q.   Accordingly,   certain   information  and  footnote
disclosures  required for complete financial statements are not included herein.
It  is  recommended  that  these  condensed  financial  statements  be  read  in
conjunction  with the financial  statements  and related notes of the Company as
reported on the Company's Form-10K files with the SEC in March 2000.

In the opinion of management  all  adjustments,  consisting of normal  recurring
adjustments,  considered  necessary  for a fair  presentation  of the  condensed
consolidated  financial position,  results of operations,  and cash flows at the
dates and for the periods  presented have been included.  The condensed  balance
sheet  presented as of December  31, 1999 has been  derived  from the  financial
statements  that  have  been  audited  by  the  Company's   independent   public
accountants. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2000
may not be  indicative  of the results  that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2000 or any other period within calendar year 2000.

3.        NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

In June 1998 the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued  Statement  of
Financial Accounting  Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative  Instruments
and Hedging  Activities"  ("SFAS No. 133"). SFAS No. 133 establishes  accounting
and reporting  standards requiring that every derivative  instrument  (including
certain derivative  instruments  embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the
balance sheet as either an asset or liability  measured at its fair value.  SFAS
No. 133  requires  that  changes in the  derivative's  fair value be  recognized
currently in earnings  unless specific hedge  accounting  criteria are met. SFAS
No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company
does not  expect  this  standard  to have a  material  effect  on its  financial
statements.

4.       CASH EQUIVALENTS:

Cash equivalents are primarily bank deposits.  These  investments are carried at
cost which approximates market value.

6.       COMPREHENSIVE LOSS:

Comprehensive  income  (loss) is the change in equity of a  business  enterprise
during a period  from  transactions  and other  events  and  circumstances  from
non-owner  sources.   Other  comprehensive  income  (loss)  refers  to  revenue,
expenses,  gains and losses that under generally accepted accounting  principles
are  included in  comprehensive  income  (loss),  but  excluded  from net income
(loss).  For the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, the elements within
other  comprehensive  income,  net of tax,  consist  solely of foreign  currency
translation adjustments. Comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31,
2000 and 1999, is $48.4 million and $1.4 million respectively.

7.       SEGMENT INFORMATION:

For the year ended  December  31,  1998,  the Company  adopted the  Statement on
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 131,  "Disclosures about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related  Information".  The Company's two reportable  segments
are products and services. The Company evaluates the performance of its segments
based on gross  profit.  Under SFAS No. 131,  the Company is required to provide
enterprise-wide  disclosures  about  revenues by segment,  long-lived  assets by
geographic area and revenues from major customers.

         Revenues consisted of the following:

8.       STOCK COMPENSATION EXPENSE:

Based on the termination  agreement with the former chief  executive  officer of
OpenROUTE,  the Company  issued the former  executive  100,000  shares of common
stock and 100,000 options to acquire common stock at $6.00 per share. During the
three months ended March 31, 2000,  the Company  recognized  stock  compensation
expense of $5.1 million for the fair value of the shares and options issued.

In connection with the termination of certain  employees during the three months
ended March 31, 2000 the Company  vested stock options that would have otherwise
been forfeited, resulting in stock compensation expense of $670,000.

In  conjunction  with the  acquisition  of  AetherWorks,  the Company issued 1.0
million  options  to  acquire  common  stock at  $6.81,  to  former  AetherWorks
employees. The Company recorded compensation charges of $16.1 million related to
the  difference  between the option  exercise  price and the market value of the
underlying  common  stock.  The expense will be recognized  over the  respective
vesting period of the options. During the three months ended March 31, 2000, the
Company recognized compensation expense of $599,000.

During the three  months ended March 31, 2000,  the Company  issued  warrants to
purchase 16,000 shares of common stock to  non-employees  for services  provided
resulting in stock  compensation  charges of $133,000 based upon a Black Scholes
valuation.

9.       RESTRUCTURING CHARGE:

In March 2000, the Company announced and implemented a consolidation  program to
reduce  and  economize  its work  force as part of its  acquisition  integration
program.  The restructuring will result in an overall reduction of personnel and
related  compensation and other associated  operating costs of the Company.  The
reduction-in-force  will  occur  over  approximately  a  three-month  period and
severance  payments  will  generally  be  made in lump  sum in  June  2000.  The
restructuring  charges of $427,000  resulted from $307,000 of accrued  severance
and benefit costs  associated with a  reduction-in-force  of 13 former OpenROUTE
employees and  approximately  $100,000 of accrued  facility costs resulting from
the  consolidation  of facilities  and premature  termination  of various office
leases.

10.      FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE GAIN:

Generally,   assets  and  liabilities  denominated  in  foreign  currencies  are
translated  into US dollars at current  exchange  rates.  Operating  results are
translated into US dollars using the average rates of exchange prevailing during
the period. Gains or losses resulting from translation of assets and liabilities
are  included  in  the   Accumulated   other   comprehensive   loss  account  in
stockholders' equity, except for the translation effect of intercompany balances
that are anticipated to be settled in the foreseeable future. The Company had no
foreign  exchange  gains or losses for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and
the three months ended March 31, 1999.

11.      BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE:

Basic earnings (loss) per share amounts are computed using the weighted  average
number of common shares.  Diluted earnings (loss) per share amounts are computed
using the weighted average number of common shares and common  equivalent shares
having a dilutive effect during the periods; however, for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999,  the effect of common stock  equivalents  has
not been considered as they would have been antidilutive.

NETRIX CORPORATION

ITEM 2.

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. For this
purpose,  any statements  contained herein that are not statements of historical
fact may be  deemed  to be  forward-looking  statements.  Without  limiting  the
foregoing,  the words "believes,"  "anticipates," "plans," "expects" and similar
expressions  are intended to identify  forward-looking  statements.  There are a
number of important  factors that could cause the  Company's  actual  results to
differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements. These
factors  include,  without  limitation,  those set forth below under the caption
"Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results".

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RECENT  DEVELOPMENTS.  On February 10, 2000, the Company filed form S-3 offering
1.0 million shares of common stock. The offering generated net proceeds of $25.1
million.  The  proceeds  were  used  to  satisfy  an  $8.0  million  AetherWorks
obligation, which was a condition to closing the acquisition of AetherWorks. The
remaining  proceeds  will be used for  general  corporate  and  working  capital
purposes.

On February 23, 2000, the Company announced the appointment of Bill Yundt to the
Board of Directors.  Mr. Yundt is currently Vice President of Network Operations
for Microsoft Corporation.

During March 2000,  the Company  terminated  its line of credit  agreement  with
Coast  Business  Credit.  The Company is in negotiation  with various  financial
institutions  for a new  line  of  credit.  Due to the  Company's  current  cash
balance,  management does not believe that securing a line of credit is required
to fund operations for the foreseeable future.

On March 16, 2000, the Company  completed the  acquisition of  Aetherworks.  The
transaction  has been accounted for under the purchase  method of accounting for
the business  combination  and the operating  results of  Aetherworks  have been
included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statement from the
date of acquisition.

On December 22, 1999, the Company  completed the merger with OpenROUTE  Networks
("OpenROUTE")  with  and  into  Netrix  Corporation.  The  transaction  has been
accounted  for  under  the  purchase  method  of  accounting  for  the  business
combination  and the  operating  results of OpenROUTE  have been included in the
accompanying  condensed  consolidated  financial  statement  from  the  date  of
acquisition.

NET  LOSS.  On  March  16,  2000  the  Company   completed  the  acquisition  of
Aetherworks. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2000
include the results of Aetherworks  from the date of acquisition.  For the three
months  ended  March 31,  2000,  the  Company  had a net loss of $48.4  million,
compared  to a net loss of $1.3  million  for the three  months  ended March 31,
1999. The increase in net loss resulted from non-cash charges for in-process R&D
expense  of $30.8  million,  stock  compensation  expense of $6.5  million,  G&A
expenses of $0.5 million, R&D expenses of $1.0 million, restructuring expense of
$0.4 million,  and  amortization  of acquired  intangibles of $5.1 million.  The
three month changes in net loss resulted from additional expense associated with
the  acquisition  of Aetherworks  and  OpenROUTE.  The Company has instituted an
on-going  acquisition  integration  program of expense  reduction  to  eliminate
duplicated functions at the acquired companies.

REVENUES.  For the three months ended March 31, 2000,  revenues  increased  $1.6
million or 22% to $ 8.9  million,  from $7.3  million for the three months ended
March 31, 1999. The increase in revenues was due primarily to the acquisition of
OpenROUTE in December 1999.  For the three months ended March 31, 2000,  product
revenues increased $1.6 million,  or 30% to $7.0 million,  from $5.4 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1999. For the three months ended March 31, 2000
service  revenues  remained  essentially  the same  compared to the three months
ended March 31, 1999.  The increase in product  revenues is primarily the result
of the merger with OpenROUTE.

GROSS PROFIT.  For the three months ended March 31, 2000, gross profit increased
by  $289,000,  or 9%, to $3.5  million,  from $3.2  million for the three months
ended March 31, 1999. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit decreased to 39%
for the three months  ended March 31, 2000,  from 44% for the three months ended
March 31, 1999.  The decrease in gross profit as a percentage  of revenue is due
to the product mix as result of the merger with OpenROUTE.  For the three months
ended March 31, 2000 gross profit for product revenue  increased  $138,000 or 5%
to $2.9 million  from $2.8 million for the three months March 31, 1999.  For the
three months ended March 31, 2000 gross  profit for service  revenues  increased
$151,000 or 35% to $586,000  from  $435,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1999.  The gross profit in any  particular  quarter is dependent upon the mix of
products sold and the channels of distribution. As a result, the gross profit on
a  quarter  to  quarter  basis can vary  within a wide  range.  The three  month
increase in service gross profit is primarily the result cost saving measures.

SALES AND  MARKETING.  For the three  months  ended  March  31,  2000  sales and
marketing expenses increased by $2.4 million, or 144%, to $4.0 million from $1.6
million for the three  months  ended March 31,  1999.  The  increase  represents
marketing expenses of $1.0 million,  sales commission  expenses of $0.4 million,
wages and  salaries of $0.5  million and travel  expenses of $0.3  million.  The
increase  in  marketing  expenses is  primarily  due to  advertising,  increased
participation  in  trade  shows  and  the  production  of  marketing   materials
associated with the new Nx Networks logo and name.

RESEARCH AND  DEVELOPMENT.  For the three months ended March 31, 2000,  research
and development expenses increased $1.0 million or 62% to $2.6 million from $1.6
million for the three months ended March 31, 1999. The increase represents wages
and salaries of $0.3 million due to the merger with  OpenROUTE,  consulting fees
and other  engineering  expense of $0.5  million,  depreciation  expense of $0.1
million and other expense such as rent, telephone, travel and recruiting fees.

GENERAL AND  ADMINISTRATIVE.  For the three  months ended March 31, 2000 general
and administrative expenses increased $1.3 or 127% to $2.3 million from $1.0 for
the three months ended March 31, 1999. The increase  represents  $0.3 million in
wages and salaries,  legal and accounting fees of $0.5 million,  rent expense of
$0.1 million,  depreciation  expense of $0.1 million and other general operating
expenses of $0.3 million.  The majority of the increase are directly  associated
with the newly merged companies.

AMORTIZATION OF ACQUIRED INTANGIBLES.  For the three months ended March 31, 2000
amortization  expense  increased  $5.0 million to $5.1 million from $0.1 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1999.  The increase  represents in goodwill
associated  with the OpenROUTE  merger in December 1999 and the  acquisition  of
Aetherworks in March 2000.

STOCK  COMPENSATION.  The Company  incurred stock  compensation  expense of $6.5
million as a result of stock issued to and accelerated  vesting of stock options
to a former executives of OpenROUTE,  acceleration of stock options of employees
terminated as part of  restructuring  and stock  options  issued below market to
certain employees in connection with the acquisition of Aetherworks.

IN-PROCESS  RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT.  For the three months ended March 31, 2000
the Company  incurred a one-time  charge of $30.8  million  associated  with the
acquisition  of  Aetherworks.   The  Company  valued  in  process  research  and
development  (IPR&D)  acquired in the acquisition at $30.8 million based upon an
independent  appraisal  of  the  development  project  for  which  technological
feasibility had not been  established and no alternative  future uses exist. The
Company  acquired  IPR&D project is targeted at the  telecommunications  market.
This  product  is  being  developed  specifically  for and is  intended  to have
substantial incremental functionality, greatly improved speed and wider range of
interfaces than NX Networks then current technology.

                                      -14-
<PAGE>

The value of the IPR&D project  identified  was  determined  by  estimating  the
future cash flows from the project, once commercially feasible,  discounting the
net cash flows back to their  present  value and then  applying a percentage  of
completion to the calculated value. The percentage of completion for the project
was determined using milestones  representing  management's  estimate of effort,
value added and degree of difficulty of the portion of the project  completed as
of March 16, 2000, as compared to the remaining  research and  development to be
completed to bring the project to technical feasibility. The development process
was grouped  into three phases with each phase  containing  between one and five
milestones.  The three phases were: (I) researching the market  requirements and
the  engineering   architecture  and  feasibility   studies;   (ii)  design  and
verification;  and (iii)  prototyping and testing the product (both internal and
customer testing). Aetherworks project started in 1998, as of March 16, 2000 the
Company estimated that the project was 75% complete.

RESTRUCTURING  RESERVE.  In March 2000, the Company  announced and implemented a
consolidation  program  to reduce  and  economize  its work force as part of its
acquisition  integration  program.  The restructuring  will result in an overall
reduction of personnel and related  compensation and other associated  operating
costs of the Company.  The  reduction-in-force  will occur over  approximately a
three-month  period and severance payments will generally be made in lump sum in
June 2000. The restructuring  charges of $0.4 million resulted from $0.3 million
of accrued severance and benefit costs associated with a  reduction-in-force  of
13 former  OpenROUTE  employees,  and $0.1  million  of accrued  facility  costs
resulting  from the  consolidation  of facilities  and premature  termination of
various office  leases.  As of March 31, 2000 no payments have been made related
to the restructuring charge.

INTEREST AND OTHER EXPENSE,  NET. For the three months ended March 31, 2000, the
Company had net interest expenses of $30,000 compared to net interest expense of
$130,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999.  The decrease is a result of
the Company's termination of the loan balances with Coast Business Credit.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At March 31, 2000,  the Company had $17.6  million of cash and cash  equivalents
and net working capital of $18.7 million,  compared to $157,000 of cash and cash
equivalents  and net working  capital of $6.5 million at March 31, 1999. For the
three months ended March 31, 2000,  the total cash used by  operations  was $5.4
million  compared to $0.9  million for the three  months  ended March 31,  1999.
Non-cash items  consisting of  depreciation  and  amortization  of $5.1 million,
stock  compensation  expense of $6.5  million and  in-process  R&D cost of $30.8
million contributed to the losses of $48.4 million.  The cash used by operations
was primarily due to continued losses from operations.

In March 2000, the Company completed an offering of 1.0 million shares of common
stock. The offering  generated proceeds of $25.1 million net of issuing costs of
$ 0.9 million.  $8.0 million of the proceeds were used to satisfy an AetherWorks
obligation, which was a condition to closing the acquisition. The Company closed
the  AetherWorks  acquisition on March 16, 2000. The remaining  proceeds will be
used for general  corporate and working capital  purposes.  Management  believes
that these proceeds and future sales and the collection of the related  accounts
receivables  are  sufficient to meet the Company's cash  obligations  throughout
2000.

Capital  acquisitions  during the three  months  ended  March 31, 2000 were $0.5
million  compared to $0.2  million for the three  months  ended March 31,  1999.
These  acquisitions  were primarily  equipment used for research and development
purposes and computer and test equipment.

                                      -15-

The success of the Company is dependent on its ability to generate adequate cash
for operations and capital needs. Its ability to generate adequate cash for such
needs is in part  dependent on its success in increasing  sales of its products.
The Company's plan is to increase revenues through sales of its Network Exchange
product line;  however,  due to market  conditions  and other factors beyond its
control,  there  can be no  assurance  the  Company  will be able to  adequately
increase product sales.  Therefore,  the Company may have to generate additional
cash through the sale of assets  including  technologies  or the sale of debt or
equity securities.  Although the Company believes it has the ability to generate
additional cash through such sales,  such sales may be dilutive and there can be
no assurances  that adequate  funds will be available or available on terms that
are  reasonable  or  acceptable  to the  Company.  If the  Company  is unable to
generate  adequate  cash,  there could be a material  and adverse  effect on the
business and  financial  condition of the Company.  The Company has  implemented
cost control measures and is continually  evaluating  expense levels to mitigate
its liquidity risk.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

The  Company  is not a party to any market  risk  sensitive  instrument  that is
material to the Company, its financial position or results of operations, either
for trading purposes or otherwise.
