             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 (Unaudited)


NOTE 1 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Overland 
Data, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") have been prepared by the 
Company without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities 
and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q. Certain information and footnote 
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance 
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted 
pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, these 
statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair 
presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows 
for all periods presented. The results of operations for such periods are not 
necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year. The 
Company's second fiscal quarter ends on the Sunday closest to December 31. 
For ease of presentation, the Company's second fiscal quarter end is deemed 
to be December 31. For further information, refer to the consolidated 
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 
10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998 on file with the Securities and 
Exchange Commission.

NOTE 2 -- NET INCOME PER SHARE

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 
("SFAS 128"), "Earnings Per Share," as required in the second quarter of 
fiscal 1998. Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed based on the 
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the 
period. Diluted EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of 
shares of common stock outstanding during the period increased by the 
weighted average number of common stock equivalents outstanding during the 
period, using the treasury stock method. All prior period EPS amounts have 
been presented to conform to the provisions of SFAS 128.

NOTE 3 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Effective July 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting 
Standards No. 130 ("SFAS 130"), "Reporting Comprehensive Income." SFAS 130 
establishes new rules for the display and reporting of comprehensive income 
and its components; however, the adoption of SFAS 130 had no impact on the 
Company's current or previously reported net income or shareholders' equity. 
Comprehensive income includes all changes in shareholders' equity with the 
exception of additional investments by shareholders or distributions to 
shareholders. Comprehensive income includes, in addition to net income, 
foreign currency translation effects which are charged or credited to the 
accumulated other comprehensive income account within shareholders' equity.

NOTE 5 --  LITIGATION

The Company, its directors and certain of its officers were named as 
defendants in two putative class action lawsuits filed on April 21, 1997 and 
May 2, 1997 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of 
California. In both cases, the plaintiffs purported to represent a class of 
all persons who purchased the Company's Common Stock between February 21, 
1997 and March 14, 1997. The complaints alleged that the defendants violated 
various federal securities laws through material misrepresentation and 
omissions in connection with the Company's initial public offering and its 
registration statement on Form S-1 which was declared effective by the 
Securities and Exchange Commission on February 21, 1997. The plaintiffs seek 
rescission of their share purchases or rescissory damages if their shares 
have been sold, as well as attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses.

On September 16, 1997, the Court entered an order permitting the voluntary 
dismissal of the first-filed lawsuit without prejudice and the plaintiff in 
the second lawsuit was appointed as the lead 


                                    8

<PAGE>


plaintiff in this litigation. That person then resigned as the lead 
plaintiff, and the shareholder who had filed the first of the two lawsuits 
petitioned the Court for permission to intervene and serve as the lead 
plaintiff. The petition was granted on September 29, 1998 and the shareholder 
has moved the Court to allow the matter to go forward as a class action. That 
motion is pending.

The defendants have answered the second complaint, have denied the material 
allegations and have disavowed any wrongdoing. The litigation currently is in 
the discovery phase, and trial has been scheduled for the summer of 1999. 
Although the outcome of the lawsuit cannot be determined, management believes 
it has meritorious defenses and intends to defend against the lawsuit 
vigorously. The Company maintains directors' and officers' liability 
insurance to provide coverage against suits of this nature, and other than 
legal fees incurred to date, no amounts have been recorded in the financial 
statements for any losses which may result from this litigation.

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 within 
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and 
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 
Forward-looking statements usually contain the words "estimate," 
"anticipate," "expect" or similar expressions. All forward-looking statements 
are inherently uncertain as they are based on various expectations and 
assumptions concerning future events and they are subject to numerous known 
and unknown risks and uncertainties. The forward-looking statements included 
herein are based on current expectations and entail such risks and 
uncertainties as those set forth below which could cause the Company's actual 
results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking 
statements. The Company disclaims any obligation to update or publicly 
announce revisions to any such statements to reflect future events or 
developments.

Advanced technology companies such as Overland Data are subject to numerous 
risks and uncertainties generally characterized by rapid technological change 
and other highly competitive factors. The Company's future revenue and 
operating results are dependent upon gaining further market acceptance for 
its LibraryXpress line of automated tape libraries and its ability to 
manufacture sufficient product to satisfy demand. The LibraryXpress products 
incorporate a line of DLT tape drives supplied by Quantum Corporation, which 
has been the sole source for DLT tape technology. At certain times in the 
past, the Company has not obtained an adequate supply of such drives and 
there can be no assurance that such supply interruptions will not recur. In 
September 1998, Quantum announced that it had entered into a manufacturing 
license and marketing agreement with Tandberg Data ASA through which Tandberg 
can become an independent second source of DLT tape drives. Tandberg is now 
developing this capability which is expected to mitigate Overland's 
dependence on Quantum.

The Company's future revenue and operating results are also dependent upon 
market demand for its TapeXpress line of 36-track products, which could be 
adversely affected by newly introduced competitive products and other 
factors. Although IBM is the Company's primary customer for this product 
line, IBM is not required to purchase minimum quantities pursuant to the 
supply arrangement, and IBM's orders can fluctuate from quarter to quarter.

The Company's future success also will depend upon its ability to develop, 
manufacture and market new and enhanced products on a timely and cost 
effective basis, including products and licensing agreements related to the 
Company's new Variable Rate Randomizer ("VR2") encoding technology which was 
announced on December 11, 1997. Although a cross-licensing agreement was 
announced on April 1, 1998 with Tandberg Data ASA whereby Tandberg will 
include VR2 technology in Tandberg's MLR and SLR tape drives, success in this 
area cannot be assured because of the inherent uncertainty of development 
projects for high technology 

                                10

<PAGE>

products, the possible introduction of competing products in the marketplace, 
the uncertainty of market acceptance of the products and other such factors.

The risks and uncertainties noted above, along with others which could 
materially and adversely affect the Company's business, are set forth more 
fully in the "Risk Factors," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of 
Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and other sections of the 
Company's Form 10-K for the most recently completed fiscal year on file with 
the Securities and Exchange Commission.

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997

     NET SALES. Net sales of $24.2 million in the fiscal 1999 second quarter 
grew by $6.1 million or 34.1% over sales of $18.1 million in the comparable 
quarter of the prior fiscal year. The Company experienced increases in all 
product lines with the exception of its end-of-life 18-track products. The 
largest growth was attributable to increased sales of the LibraryXpress 
product. LibraryXpress sales grew 58.0% from $8.5 million in the fiscal 1998 
second quarter to $13.4 million in the fiscal 1999 second quarter. Sales to 
Digital Equipment Corporation/Compaq ("DEC/CPQ") of our DLT7000-based 
LibraryXpress increased almost three times over the 

                                      11

<PAGE>

prior quarter. We commenced shipments of our new LoaderXpress product during 
fiscal 1998 third quarter, which contributed $2.1 million of incremental 
sales versus fiscal 1998 second quarter. Sales of 36-track products grew 8.6% 
from $5.8 million in the fiscal 1998 second quarter to $6.3 million in the 
fiscal 1999 second quarter. Strong OEM and Asian Pacific Latin America 
("APLA") shipments were offset by declines in the volume and reseller 
channels. Sales of standalone DLT exceeded fiscal 1998 second quarter by 
$607,000 ($893,000 to $1.5 million in the fiscal 1999 second quarter) 
primarily due to sales of DLT7000 to DEC/CPQ. Combined sales of 18-track and 
9-track products of $1.5 million in the 1999 second quarter declined by 
5.7% from sales of $1.6 million in the fiscal 1998 second quarter. The 
announcement of end-of-life on one of the 9-track products spurred final 
purchases. The Company expects that sales of this mature business will 
continue to decline in future quarters.

A summary of the sales mix by product for the periods presented in the 
statement of operations follows:

</TABLE>

     GROSS PROFIT. The Company's gross profit for the fiscal 1999 second 
quarter was $7.3 million, an increase of 28.2%, from $5.7 million in the 
fiscal 1998 second quarter. As a percentage of sales, the fiscal 1999 second 
quarter gross margin declined to 30.2% from 31.6% in the fiscal 1998 second 
quarter but was flat with the fiscal 1999 first quarter gross margin. The 
decline compared to the prior quarter was due to a greater mix of OEM 
business (48% in fiscal 1999 second quarter versus 34% in fiscal 1998 second 
quarter). Although the level of OEM business in 1999 second quarter declined 
from fiscal 1999 first quarter, margins were comparable due to changes in 
product mix.

     SALES AND MARKETING EXPENSE. Sales and marketing expense amounted to 
$3.0 million or 12.4% of net sales in the fiscal 1999 second quarter compared 
to $2.2 million or 12.2% of net sales in the fiscal 1998 second quarter. The 
growth of expenses resulted from increased spending for advertising and 
promotions and new 


                                    12

<PAGE>

sales personnel used to promote the new products and to generate demand 
through our new commercial distribution channel.

     RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSE. Research and development expense 
amounted to $1.2 million or 5.0% of net sales in the fiscal 1999 second 
quarter compared to $957,000 or 5.3% of net sales in the fiscal 1998 second 
quarter. The increased expenses in the fiscal 1999 second quarter reflect 
personnel additions and increased development material costs, offset by a 
non-recurring engineering reimbursement received from a customer.

     GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE. General and administrative expense 
amounted to $1.2 million or 5.0% of net sales in the fiscal 1999 second 
quarter compared to $1.5 million or 8.5% of net sales in the fiscal 1998 
second quarter. The decrease in expenses in the fiscal 1999 second quarter 
reflects a number of factors including reduced expenses for computer 
equipment, reduced recruiting expenses, and a reduction in our provision for 
bad debts due to an increase in the quality of receivables incident to the 
larger level of OEM business and other customers who represent relatively 
lower credit risk.

     OTHER INCOME, NET. In the fiscal 1999 second quarter, the Company 
generated net other income of $298,000 which consisted of $221,000 of 
interest income and $77,000 of foreign currency gains, compared to net other 
income of $258,000 in the fiscal 1998 second quarter which consisted of 
$220,000 of interest income and $38,000 of foreign currency gains.

     INCOME TAXES. The Company's effective tax rate in the fiscal 1999 second 
quarter was 39% compared to 38% in the fiscal 1998 second quarter and 38.5% 
for the full fiscal year 1998.

     NET INCOME. Net income amounted to $1.3 million in the fiscal 1999 
second quarter compared to $789,000 in the fiscal 1998 second quarter. 
Diluted net income per share increased from $.07 in the fiscal 1998 second 
quarter to $.12 in the fiscal 1999 second quarter and basic net income per 
share increased from $.07 to $.13 in the same time periods. In addition to 
the higher level of earnings, the Company also benefited from a reduced 
number of shares outstanding incident to the stock repurchase of 
approximately 400,000 shares of its common stock.

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997

     NET SALES. The Company's net sales of $48.6 million in the fiscal 1999 
first half grew by $16.5 million or 51.6% over sales of $32.1 million in the 
comparable period of the prior year. The growth resulted from increased sales 
in both the LibraryXpress and 36-track products. The Company experienced its 
largest increase in the LibraryXpress product, sales of which grew from $14.1 
million in the fiscal 1998 first half to $24.9 million in fiscal 1999 first 
half, an increase of 76.6%. Sales of the Company's 36-track product of $15.5 
million in the fiscal 1999 first half increased from $8.9 million in the 
prior year. In total, the OEM business comprised 51.2% of revenues for the 
fiscal 1999 first half 

                                     13

<PAGE>

compared to 29.5% of revenues for the fiscal 1998 first half. In addition, 
sales of standalone DLT product of $2.8 million in the fiscal 1999 first half 
exceeded comparable sales in fiscal 1998 first half by $781,000 primarily due 
to sales of DLT7000 to DEC/CPQ. As expected, these gains were offset 
partially by declines in sales of the Company's mature 18-track and 9-track 
products, which fell by a combined 36.1% from $4.5 million in the prior 
period to $2.9 million in the current period. Finally, the fiscal 1999 first 
half sales of controllers, spare parts, software and other products amounted 
to $2.7 million, a decrease of 5.0% from the fiscal 1998 first half sales of 
$2.8 million.

     GROSS PROFIT. The Company's gross profit for the fiscal 1999 first half 
was $14.7 million, a 42.1% increase from the $10.4 million reported in the 
fiscal 1998 first half. The gross margin percentage declined from 32.3% in 
the fiscal 1998 first half to 30.3% in the fiscal 1999 first half primarily 
due to a greater mix of OEM business.

     SALES AND MARKETING EXPENSE. Sales and marketing expense amounted to 
$5.8 million or 11.9% of net sales in the fiscal 1999 first half compared to 
$4.3 million or 13.4% of net sales in the fiscal 1998 first half. Growth in 
sales expenses of $771,000 was due primarily to recruiting expenses and wages 
of the new sales personnel hired to generate demand through our new 
commercial distribution channel. The $728,000 increase in marketing expenses 
resulted from increased advertising and promotion costs for new products, as 
well as to stimulate product demand through the commercial distribution 
channel.

     RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSE. Research and development expense 
amounted to $2.6 million or 5.3% of net sales in the fiscal 1999 first half 
compared to $1.9 million or 5.9% of net sales in the fiscal 1998 first half. 
The increased expenses resulted from personnel additions and higher 
development costs related to VR2.

     GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expense amounted 
to $2.5 million or 5.2% of net sales in the fiscal 1999 first half compared 
to $3.1 million or 9.6% of net sales in the fiscal 1998 first half. The 
decrease in expenses in the fiscal 1999 first half was due primarily to lower 
computer purchases and reduced legal expenses related to the class-action 
lawsuit filed against the Company. During fiscal 1998 first half, the Company 
incurred expenses to upgrade computer equipment in preparation for the 
implementation of its ERP system in October 1997. In addition, during fiscal 
1998 first half, the Company incurred legal expenses related to the 
class-action lawsuit because the related insurance deductible had not been 
reached. Current expenses related to the class-action lawsuit are recorded as 
a receivable awaiting reimbursement by the Company's insurance carrier.

     OTHER INCOME, NET. In the fiscal 1998 first half, net other income of 
$468,000 consisted almost entirely of interest income. The net other income 
of $569,000 in the fiscal 1999 first half consisted of $457,000 of interest 
income and $112,000 of foreign currency gains.


                                         14

<PAGE>

     INCOME TAXES. The Company's provision for state and federal income taxes 
in the first half of fiscal year 1999 was 39% of income before taxes versus 
38% in the first half of fiscal year 1998.

     NET INCOME. Net income amounted to $2.7 million in the fiscal 1999 first 
half compared to $966,000 in the fiscal 1998 first half. Diluted net income 
per share increased to $.25 in the fiscal 1999 first half compared to $.09 in 
the first half of the prior year. Basic net income per share increased from 
$.09 to $.26 in the same time periods. In addition to the higher level of 
earnings, the Company also benefited from a reduced number of shares 
outstanding incident to the stock repurchase of approximately 400,000 shares 
of its common stock.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the fiscal 1999 first half, the Company generated $1.6 million of 
cash. Cash was generated through an increase of $3.3 million in earnings 
before depreciation and amortization, a decrease in accounts receivable of 
$1.6 million caused by strong collections, and a decrease in inventories of 
$1.4 million. Items which partially offset these amounts included a $1.8 
million increase in accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and other, $2.4 
million used primarily to repurchase shares of the Company's stock pursuant 
to its share buyback program, and $496,000 spent on capital equipment during 
the period. On an aggregate basis, these activities increased the Company's 
cash reserves to $17.2 million at December 31, 1998 compared to $15.6 million 
at June 30, 1998. At that date, the Company's working capital amounted to 
$40.2 million with no outstanding funded debt. The Company believes that 
these resources will be sufficient to fund its operations and to provide for 
its growth into the foreseeable future.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

Many computer systems experience problems handling dates in and beyond the 
year 1999. Therefore, some computer hardware and software will need to be 
modified prior to the year 2000 in order to remain functional. During fiscal 
year 1998, the Company replaced its internal enterprise wide computer system 
and believes that the system is year 2000 compliant. The Company's internally 
manufactured products have no date functionality built into them with the 
exception of certain products have a display-only date/time function. This 
function, which is year 2000 compliant, allows the operator to set the LCD 
front panel display date and time from the front panel. Although not used in 
any way when reading/writing data or to otherwise operate the products, it is 
used for date/time stamping entries into the internal history and error logs.

The Company is also assessing and addressing the possible effects on the 
Company's operations of the year 2000 readiness of its other internal systems 
and of its key suppliers and subcontractors. If the Company's suppliers and 
subcontractors fail to address their year 2000 issues, the Company could 
experience an adverse material impact on its business, financial condition, 
and results of operations. The Company's smaller vendors present the largest 
risks because the Company believes that these vendors may not address the 
year 2000 issues adequately. If a vendor is deemed to be high risk for year 
2000 issues, the Company will pursue alternative sources of suppliers because 
an inability to supply parts may delay production of the Company's products. 
To date, the Company has incurred an immaterial amount of costs of less than 
$20,000. The potential impact and related costs of year 2000 readiness for 
both the remaining internal systems and key suppliers and subcontractors are 
still unknown at this time. However, based on assessment underway, the 
Company currently expects that the total cost of addressing the year 2000 
issue will remain an immaterial amount.

The Company does not know how customer spending patterns may be impacted by 
year 2000 programs. As customers focus on preparing their business for the 
year 2000 in the near term, capital budgets may be spent on remediation 
efforts, potentially delaying the purchase and implementation of new systems, 
thereby creating less demand for 

                                   15

<PAGE>

the Company's products and services. Conversely, demand for the Company's 
products could accelerate as customers focus on the need to protect their 
stored data by enhancing their backup capabilities. The Company does not know 
the resulting impact on its revenues at this time.

PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company, its directors and certain of its officers were named as 
defendants in two putative class action lawsuits filed on April 21, 1997 and 
May 2, 1997 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of 
California. In both cases, the plaintiffs purported to represent a class of 
all persons who purchased the Company's Common Stock between February 21, 
1997 and March 14, 1997. The complaints alleged that the defendants violated 
various federal securities laws through material misrepresentation and 
omissions in connection with the Company's initial public offering and its 
registration statement on Form S-1 which was declared effective by the 
Securities and Exchange Commission on February 21, 1997. The plaintiffs seek 
rescission of their share purchases or rescissory damages if their shares 
have been sold, as well as attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses.

On September 16, 1997, the Court entered an order permitting the voluntary 
dismissal of the first-filed lawsuit without prejudice and the plaintiff in 
the second lawsuit was appointed as the lead plaintiff in this litigation. 
That person then resigned as the lead plaintiff, and the shareholder who had 
filed the first of the two lawsuits petitioned the Court for permission 
to intervene and serve as the lead plaintiff. The petition was granted on 
September 29, 1998 and the shareholder has moved the Court to allow the 
matter to go forward as a class action. That motion is pending.

The defendants have answered the second complaint, have denied the material 
allegations and have disavowed any wrongdoing. The litigation currently is in 
the discovery phase, and trial has been scheduled for the summer of 1999. 
Although the outcome of the lawsuit cannot be determined, management believes 
it has meritorious defenses and intends to defend against the lawsuit 
vigorously. The Company maintains directors' and officers' liability 
insurance to provide coverage against suits of this nature, and other than 
legal fees incurred to date, no amounts have been recorded in the financial 
statements for any losses which may result from this litigation.

(1) The supermajority vote provisions of the Company's Articles of 
    Incorporation relating to the "fair price provisions" for certain business 
    combinations were not adopted and renewed because less than two-thirds (2/3)
    voted in favor. Consequently, the "fair price provisions" now require only
    a majority vote of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
