REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Applied Digital Access, Inc. and subsidiary
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Applied
Digital Access, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 1996 and 1997 and the
related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997.
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 in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards 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.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position
of Applied Digital Access, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 1996 and
1997 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

APPLIED DIGITAL ACCESS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS:
Applied Digital Access, Inc. and subsidiary (the "Company") designs,
engineers and manufactures network test and performance monitoring
systems, software and services for the management and test of
telecommunication circuits. Current sales are concentrated with
telecommunication service providers or affiliated companies in the
United States and Canada.
The market for the Company's products is characterized by rapid
technological advances, evolving industry transmission standards,
changes in customer requirements and frequent new product introductions
and enhancements. The introduction of telephone network test and
performance monitoring products involving superior technologies or the
evolution of alternative technologies or new industry transmission
standards could render the Company's existing products, as well as
products currently under development, obsolete and unmarketable.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term investments
with original maturities of 90 days or less when purchased.
INVENTORY
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in,
first-out method.
The Company currently buys certain key components of its products from
a limited number of suppliers. Although there are a limited number of
suppliers of the components, management believes that other suppliers
could provide similar key components on comparable terms. A change in
suppliers, however, could cause a delay in manufacturing and a possible
loss of sales, which would adversely affect operating results.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED:
INVESTMENTS
The Company determines the appropriate classification of its debt
securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designations at
each balance sheet date. Investments are classified as "available for
sale" and are carried at their fair value. Realized gains and losses are
determined using the specific identification method and are included in
other income. Gross unrealized holding gains or losses are excluded
from earnings and reported, net of the related tax effect, as a
separate component of shareholders' equity. The amortized cost of debt
securities is adjusted for the amortization of premiums and accretion
of discounts to maturity. Such amortization is included in interest
income. Fair value is determined based on quoted market prices.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated over the
estimated useful lives of the assets (3 to 7 years) using the
straight-line method. Leased property meeting certain criteria is
capitalized and the present value of the related lease payments is
recorded as an obligation. Amortization of capitalized leased assets is
computed on the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term
or the assets' estimated useful lives.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Upon the
retirement or other disposition, the property and related accumulated
depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any
resulting profit or loss is reflected in income.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The Company amortizes costs in excess of fair value of net assets of
businesses acquired using the straight-line method over 3 to 5 years.
Recoverability is reviewed annually or sooner if events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying value may exceed fair value.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue is generally recognized at the time of shipment or delivery,
based on specified shipping terms, or when services have been performed.
When customer acceptance criteria are specified in the customer order,
revenue recognition is deferred until the acceptance criteria are met.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED:
INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in
future years for differences between the tax basis of assets and
liabilities ("temporary differences") and their financial reporting
amounts at each year end based on enacted tax laws and statutory
rates applicable to the periods in which the temporary differences
are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are
established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the
amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax
payable for the period and the change during the period in deferred
tax assets and liabilities.
ADVERTISING COSTS
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising
expense was approximately $141,000, $217,000 and $250,000 for the
years ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123,
ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION, encourages, but does not
require, companies to record compensation cost for stock-based
employee compensation plans at fair value. The Company has chosen to
continue to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic
value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED TO EMPLOYEES, and related
interpretations. Accordingly, options granted at below fair market
value result in deferred compensation to the extent of the
difference between the fair market value at the date of grant and
the exercise price. The deferred compensation is charged to earnings
ratably over the vesting period. During the three year period ended
December 31, 1997, no options were granted at below fair market
value.
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 the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from estimates.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED:
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS
No. 130, COMPREHENSIVE INCOME, and SFAS No. 131, DISCLOSURE ABOUT
SEGMENTS OF AN ENTERPRISE AND RELATED INFORMATION. SFAS No. 130
establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive
income and its components in a full set of general purpose financial
statements. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity
in a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other
events and circumstances from nonowner sources. SFAS No. 131
requires publicly-held companies to report financial and other
information about key revenue-producing segments of the entity for
which such information is available and is utilized by the chief
operating decision maker. Specific information to be reported for
individual segments includes profit or loss, certain revenue and
expense items and total assets. The impact of adopting SFAS No. 130
and SFAS No. 131, both effective for the Company in 1998, has not
yet been determined.
In October 1997, the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants issued State of Position 97-2 ("SOP 97-2"), SOFTWARE
REVENUE RECOGNITION. This statement establishes requirements for
revenue recognition for software companies for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact of SOP 97-2 and has not determined the result,
if any, on the Company's financial position, results of operations
or cash flows.
The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 128, EARNINGS PER
SHARE, effective December 31, 1997. SFAS No. 128 requires the
presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic EPS is
computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.
Diluted EPS is computed giving effect to all dilutive potential
common shares that were outstanding during the period. Dilutive
potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares
issuable upon the conversion of convertible preferred stock (using
the "if converted") method) and exercise of stock options and
warrants for all periods. All prior period earnings per share
amounts have been restated to comply with SFAS No. 128.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial
statements to conform to the current year presentation.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCY:
PURCHASE COMMITMENTS
At December 31, 1996 and 1997, the Company has open purchase
commitments of approximately $3,731,000 and $4,413,000
respectively, which include approximately $2,264,000 and
$1,938,000 of cancelable purchase ocmmitments.
LEGAL PROCEEDING
In March 1995, a class action lawsuit was filed against the
Company and two of its officers, one of whom is also a director of
the Company, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District
of Southern California. The suit alleged violations of Section
10(b) and Rule 10b-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Act"), arising out of alleged misrepresentations
and omissions made by the Company and the named officers. The
suit also alleged violation of Section 20(a) of the Act arising
out of alleged "control" of the Company by the officer
defendants. The suit was brought on behalf of purchasers of the
Company's securities during the period October 10, 1994 through
March 29, 1995, and sought unspecified damages. In December 1995,
the Company entered into a settlement agreement pursuant to which
all claims were dismissed with prejudice. The total settlement
amount was approximately $1,500,000, of which the Company paid
approximately $446,000 with the remaining amount paid by the
Company's Directors' and Officers' liability insurance carriers.
Obligations of the Company with respect to this matter were
provided for in the financial statements during the year ended
December 31, 1995 and paid during the year ended December 31,
1996.
10. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY:
STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS
The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED TO EMPLOYEES, and related
interpretations in accounting for its stock-based compensation
plans. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for
its fixed stock option plans and its stock purchase plan. Had
compensation costs for the Company's stock-based compensation
plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates
for awards in 1995, 1996 and 1997 under those plans consistent
with the methods of SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income (loss)
and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma
amounts indicated below:

FIXED STOCK OPTION PLANS
In May 1996, the Company adopted the 1996 Non-Qualified Stock
Option Plan (the "1996 Plan"). The 1996 Plan does not affect the
1994 Plan described below. Under the 1996 Plan, the Company is
authorized to issue 650,000 shares of common stock. The 1996 Plan
is intended to promote the interests of the Company or its
parents or subsidiary corporations. Under the 1996 Plan, eligible
individuals may be granted options to purchase shares of the
Company's common stock at not less than 85% of the fair market
value of such shares on the date of grant. Such options shall be
exercisable in one or more installments as specified in the
Notice of Grant and have a maximum term of 10 years. Persons
eligible to receive stock options under the 1996 Plan are key
employees of the Company other than officers who are responsible
for the growth and financial success of the Company and
consultants and other independent contractors who provide
valuable services to the Company.
In February 1994, the Company adopted the 1994 Stock Option/Stock
Issuance Plan (the "1994 Plan"). The 1994 Plan supersedes and
consolidates the 1988 Stock Option Plan and Restricted Stock
Purchase Plan (the "1988 Plan"). Outstanding stock options and
unvested share issuances under the 1988 Plan were incorporated
into and assumed in the 1994 Plan. In May of 1996, the Board of
Directors received shareholder approval to increase the
authorized shares to 3,800,000 under the 1994 Plan. The 1994 Plan
is divided into three separate components: the Discretionary
Option Grant Program (the "Discretionary Program"); the Automatic
Option Grant Program (the "Automatic Program") and the Stock
Issuance Program (the "Issuance Program"). Under the Discretionary
Program, eligible individuals may be granted options to purchase
shares of the Company's stock at not less than 85% of the fair
market value of such shares on the date of grant. Under the
Automatic Program, non-employee Directors will automatically be
granted options to purchase common stock at 100% of the fair
market value on the grant date. Under the Issuance
F-16

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
10. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY, CONTINUED:
Program, eligible individuals may be allowed to purchase shares of
the Company's common stock at discounts from the fair market value
of such shares of up to 15%. Such shares may be issued as
fully-vested shares or as shares to vest over time and have a
maximum term of 10 years (5 years for options granted to a 10%
shareholder). Persons eligible to receive stock issuances under
the Issuance Program and/or option grants under the Discretionary
Program are officers and other key employees of the Company and
certain consultants or other independent contractors, as defined
in the plan. The individuals eligible to receive option grants
under the Automatic Program are individuals who are elected,
re-elected or appointed as non-employee Board members.
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of
grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the
following weighted-average assumptions used for grants in 1996
and 1997: no dividend yield; expected volatility; risk-free
interest rates on or about the date of grant represented by the
interest rate on U.S. Treasury Bills with a term of maturity
equal to the vesting period of the options, and expected lives of
5 years.
The following table summarizes stock option transactions for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997:

At December 31, 1996 and 1997, 1,191,381 and 339,959 shares,
respectively, are available for granting of options under the 1994
and 1996 Plans.
STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
The Amended 1994 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, originally adopted
in February 1994 (the "Stock Purchase Plan"), authorizes the
Company to issue up to 300,000 shares of common stock to
participating employees. The Stock Purchase Plan is intended to
provide qualifying employees with the opportunity to acquire an
interest in the Company by accumulating amounts for the
employees' account through payroll deductions and the periodic
application of such amounts to the purchase of shares of the
Company's common stock. Under the terms of the Stock Purchase
Plan, qualified employees can choose each year to have up to 15%
of their annual base earnings withheld to purchase the Company's
common stock. The purchase price of the stock will be equal to 85%
of the lower fairmarket value of the common stock on (i) the
commencement date of the offering period or (ii) the purchase
date. The Stock Purchase Plan terminates on December 31, 2003.
Under the Stock Purchase Plan, the Company sold 56,857 and 97,413
shares to employees in 1996 and 1997, respectively. There are
31,102 shares of common stock available for purchase under the
Stock Purchase Plan at December 31, 1997.
In order to disclose the pro forma net income and earnings per
share as required by SFAS No. 123 (see Stock Compensation Plans
above), the fair value of the employees' purchase rights is
estimated using the Black-Scholes model with the following
assumptions for 1996 and 1997: no dividend yield, expected
volatility of 69.76%; risk-free interest rates on the date of
grant represented by the interest rate on U.S. treasury bills
with a term of maturity equal to the period from the subscription
date to the purchase date. The weighted-average fair value of
those purchase rights granted in 1996 and 1997 was $9.56 and
$6.58, respectively.

</TABLE>
The Company has recorded a net deferred tax asset of $1,502,000 as of
December 31, 1997 and 1996. Realizability is dependent on generating
sufficient taxable income prior to expiration of the net operating loss
carryforwards. Although realization is not assured, management believes it
is more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset will be realized.
The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could
be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during
the carryforward period are reduced.

11. INCOME TAXES, CONTINUED:
At December 31, 1997, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards for
federal income tax purposes of approximately $15,644,000, of which
$5,378,000 is attributable to disqualifying dispositions of stock options.
The Company also has net operating loss carryforwards for California tax
purposes of approximately $7,561,000 at December 31, 1997, of which
$2,724,000 is attributable to disqualifying dispositions of stock options.
The amount attributable to the disposition of stock options will not
impact the Company's effective tax rate in future periods as the impact
will be reflected as a component of equity when recognized.
The Company also has research and development tax credit carryforwards of
approximately $1,620,000 for federal and $371,000 for California tax
purposes at December 31, 1997. These carryforwards will begin expiring, if
unused, in 2003.
The Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") imposes limits on the availability
of net operating loss carryforwards and certain tax credits that arose
prior to certain cumulative changes in a corporation's ownership
resulting in a change of control of the Company. The Company's use of
approximately $1,166,000 of its federal net operating loss carryforwards
and $408,000 of its federal and $105,000 of its California tax credit
carryforwards are significantly limited because the Company underwent
"ownership-changes" in January 1989 and March 1991. In each year
following the change, the Company will be able to offset taxable income
by a limited amount of the pre-ownership change carryforwards. This
limitation is determined by the value of the Company immediately prior
to the ownership change multiplied by the long-term tax-exempt rate.
Net operating losses and tax credits that are unavailable in any year
as a consequence of this limitation may be carried forward for future
use subject to certain restrictions.
12. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS:
The Company has a 401(k) defined contribution plan available to all
employees who have been with the Company for more than one month.
Employees may contribute up to 15% of their salary each year and the
Company may elect to make a discretionary contribution to the plan once a
year. All plan participants who are employed at the end of the plan year
and have completed 1,000 hours of service in that plan year are eligible
to receive a share of the employer contribution. Participant's rights to
the employer contributions vest 25% per year of service with the
participant being fully vested at the end of the fourth year of service.
The Company did not make a discretionary contribution in 1995, 1996 or
1997.

12. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS, CONTINUED:
In 1995, the Company adopted a profit sharing plan available to all
employees. The plan provides financial benefits to employees when the
Company exceeds certain targeted objectives. The Compensation Committee of
the Board of Directors annually determines the maximum amount that is
allocated to the plan. Employees are eligible to participate in the plan
at the start of the quarter following their employment at the Company. The
Company allocated $-0-, $-0- and approximately $418,000 in 1995, 1996 and
1997, respectively.
13. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK:
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash
equivalents, investments and trade receivables.
The Company has approximately $4,908,000 of cash and cash equivalents in
excess of FDIC insured limits at two financial institutions at December
31, 1997. The Company has not experienced any losses on its cash and cash
equivalents.
All of the Company's investments, all of which mature in 1998, are in
obligations of the U.S. Government and its agencies at December 31, 1997.
At December 31, 1996 and 1997, the Company's trade receivables are
concentrated with "Regional Bell Operating Companies" and independent
phone companies and suppliers or affiliated companies in the United
States, all of which management believes are large companies with
substantial financial resources. Sales are typically made on credit, with
terms that vary depending upon the customer and the nature of the product.
The Company does not hold collateral to secure payment. Although the
Company maintains a reserve for uncollectible receivables that it believes
to be adequate, a payment default on a significant sale or customer
receivable could materially and adversely affect its operating results and
financial condition.
Sales to major customers for each year are as follows (% of revenue):

14. ACQUISITIONS:
In February 1996, the Company acquired certain assets of Applied
Computing Devices, Inc. ("ACD"), a company that developed and
marketed operations systems software used primarily by
independent telephone companies to manage certain functions in
their networks. The customer set and products of ACD complement
those of the Company and the Company intends to continue to
market and enhance these products. The Company acquired the
assets for $1,700,000 in cash and incurred approximately $200,000
in related costs. The assets were acquired at an auction held in
Federal Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of Indiana. The
transaction, which was accounted for as a purchase, included the
acquisition of in-process research and development valued at
approximately $1,200,000, property and equipment valued at
approximately $377,000 and purchased technology valued at
approximately $337,000. The Company recorded a one-time charge in
the first quarter of 1996 for the $1,200,000 associated with
purchased research and development costs.
In July 1996, the Company acquired certain assets of MPR Teltech,
a subsidiary of BC TELCOM, Inc. The assets acquired were part of
MPR Teltech's operating unit commonly known as the Special
Services Network division ("SSN"). The Company and its Canadian
subsidiary, ADA-Canada, acquired the assets for $4,200,000 million
in cash and 150,000 shares of the Company's common stock, and
incurred approximately $200,000 in related costs. SSN was an
operations systems software development group with expertise in
development of network management systems for public carriers. SSN
developed operations systems software primarily for Northern
Telecom ("Nortel"). SSN has become part of ADA-Canada and will
develop network performance management operations systems software
products for the Company and its customers, including Nortel. The
transaction, which was accounted for as a purchase, included the
acquisition of in-process research and development valued at
approximately $2,100,000, property and equipment valued at
approximately $900,000 and goodwill and know-how valued at
approximately $2,588,000. The Company recorded a one-time charge
in the third quarter of 1996 for the $2,100,000 associated with
purchased research and development costs.

14. ACQUISITIONS, CONTINUED:
In June 1997, the Company acquired an exclusive worldwide license
to Nortel's Digital Support System II(TM) ("DSSII") operations
system software product, subject to certain residual rights
retained by Nortel. The Company acquired the license and certain
assets related to the DSSII product for an amount of $3,100,000,
$2,232,000 of which was paid in cash and the remainder of which
is payable in cash and/or stock at the Company's option on January
15, 1998. The Company recorded a charge of approximately
$1,578,000 for purchased research and development associated with
the acquisition of the license and the assets. As part of the
transaction, the Company also issued Nortel a warrant to purchase
150,000 shares of the Company common stock at an exercise price of
$12 per share. The warrant has a three year term.
