To the Participants and
Plan Administrator of the
Network Associates, Inc.
Tax Deferred Savings Plan

                         INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT

     We were engaged to audit the financial statements of the Network
Associates, Inc. Tax Deferred Savings Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 1999
and 1998, and for the years then ended, as listed in the accompanying table of
contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the
Plan's management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as
of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the changes in net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                           December 31, 1999 and 1998

Note 1 - The Plan and its significant accounting policies:

     The following description of the Network Associates, Inc. (the Company) Tax
Deferred Savings Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants
should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's
provisions. If a conflict exists between this document and the provisions of the
Plan document, the Plan document will govern.

     The Plan is a defined contribution plan that was established effective as
of September 15, 1988 by the Company to provide benefits to eligible employees.
Effective as of January 1, 1998, the McAfee Associates, Inc. 401(k) and Profit
Sharing Plan was merged with and into the Network General Corporation Tax
Deferred Savings Plan, which was renamed the Network Associates, Inc. Tax
Deferred Savings Plan.

     The Plan covers all employees except leased employees, independent
contractors or consultants, temporary employees who are not expected to complete
1,000 hours of service during a plan year, employees who are covered by a
collective bargaining agreement that does not specifically provide for coverage
under the Plan, and non-resident aliens who receive no earned income.

     The Plan administrator believes that the Plan is currently designed and
operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue
Code and the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
(ERISA).

Administration -

     The Company has appointed an Administrative Committee (the Committee) to
manage the operation and administration of the Plan. The Company has contracted
with Fidelity Management Trust Company (Fidelity) to act as the trustee and to
provide certain administrative and recordkeeping services for the Plan.
Substantially all expenses incurred for administering the Plan are paid by the
Company.



                                       7
<PAGE>   8

Investments -

     Investments of the Plan are held by Fidelity and invested based solely upon
instructions received from participants. The Plan is intended to qualify as a
Section 404(c) Plan under ERISA. During 1998, the Network Associates Unitized
Stock Fund (NAI Stock Fund) became an investment option. The NAI Stock Fund
consists primarily of Company common stock, as well as a small percentage of
cash or other short-term liquid investments maintained to provide liquidity for
participant transactions such as loans or withdrawals.

     The Plan's investment in mutual funds are valued at fair value as of the
last day of the Plan year, as measured by quoted market prices. The Plan's
investment in the NAI Stock Fund is valued at the closing stock price as of
December 31, 1999 plus the market value of the liquid investments. Participant
loans are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.

Income taxes -

     The Plan has been amended since receiving its latest favorable
determination letter dated September 24, 1997. However, the Company believes
that the Plan is operated in accordance with, and continues to qualify under,
the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and related state
statutes, and that the trust, which forms a part of the Plan, is exempt from
federal income and state franchise taxes.

Reclassifications -

     Certain reclassifications were made in the 1998 financial statements to
conform with the 1999 presentation.

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
changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

Risks and uncertainties -

     The Plan provides for various investment options in any combination of
stocks, bonds, fixed income securities, mutual funds and other investment
securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest
rate, market fluctuations and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated
with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that
changes in risks in the near term would materially affect participants' account
balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for
benefits and the statements of changes in net assets available for benefits.



                                       8
<PAGE>   9

New accounting pronouncement -

     In September 1999, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position
(SOP) 99-3, "Accounting for and Reporting of Certain Defined Contribution
Benefit Plan Investments and Other Disclosure Matters." This SOP eliminates the
previous requirement for a defined contribution plan to disclose
participant-directed investment programs by fund. The Plan has adopted SOP 99-3
in its financial statements for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998.

Note 2 - Related party transactions:

     Certain Plan investments in mutual funds are managed by Fidelity. Any
purchases and sales of these funds are open market transactions at fair market
value. Such transactions, while considered party-in-interest transactions under
ERISA regulations, are permitted under the provisions of the Plan and are
specifically exempted from the prohibition of party-in-interest transactions
under ERISA.

Note 3 - Participation and benefits:

Participant contributions -

     Participants may elect to have the Company contribute a percentage, from 1%
to 15%, of their eligible pre-tax compensation up to the amount allowable under
current income tax regulations. Participants who elect to have the Company
contribute a portion of their compensation to the Plan agree to accept an
equivalent reduction in taxable compensation. Contributions withheld are
invested in accordance with the participant's direction and are allocated to
funds in 1% increments.

     Participants are also allowed to make rollover contributions of amounts
received from other tax-qualified employer-sponsored retirement plans. Such
contributions are deposited in the appropriate investment funds in accordance
with the participant's direction and the Plan's provisions.

Employer contributions -

     The Company is allowed to make matching contributions as defined in the
Plan and as approved by the Board of Directors. In 1999 and 1998, the Company
matched one dollar for each dollar contributed by an eligible employee to the
Plan for the first $1,000 contributed, and 25% of each eligible employee's
contribution in excess of $1,000. The Company's actual contribution may be
reduced by certain available forfeitures, if any, during the Plan year.

     The Plan also allows for a discretionary profit sharing contribution. The
Company's profit sharing contributions, if any, is allocated among eligible
participants according to the


                                       9
<PAGE>   10

terms of the Plan. No such profit sharing contribution was made during 1999;
approximately $24,000 was contributed in 1998.

Participant accounts -

     Each participant's account is credited with the participant's pre-tax
contribution, matching contribution, profit sharing contribution, if any,
rollover contribution and allocable earnings or losses.

Payment of benefits -

     Upon termination of employment, the participant (or the participant's
beneficiary in the event of the participant's death) may elect to receive a lump
sum payment equal to the value of the participant's vested interest in his or
her account. The Plan allows for automatic lump sum distribution of a
participant's vested account balance that does not exceed $5,000.

Loans to participants -

     The Plan allows participants to borrow not less than $1,000 and up to the
lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance. The loans are secured
by the participant's vested balance. Such loans bear interest at the available
market financing rates and must be repaid to the Plan within a five-year period,
unless the loan is used for the purchase of a principal residence in which case
the maximum repayment period cannot exceed fifteen years. The specific terms and
conditions of such loans are established by the Plan administrator. Outstanding
loans at December 31, 1999 carry interest rates, which range from 8% to 10%.

Vesting -

     Participants' pre-tax and rollover contributions are 100% vested. The
Company's matching contributions and profit sharing contributions, if any, vest
ratably and are fully after the participant completes three years of credited
service.
