NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Business and Basis of Presentation

     We manufacture equipment for wireline and wireless telecommunications carriers, the government, and enterprise end-users. We focus on broadband access from the central office to the customer premises, voice and data service creation at end-user locations, and next-generation wireless infrastructure.

     Our Access Bank®, Wide Bank®, Access Navigator®, Adit™, Broadmore™, and Axxius™ products are connected to T1, digital subscriber line, digital radio, T3, OC12, and optical access networks to provide enhanced communications services for businesses, wireless and government networks. Our NetworkValet™ product, a software element management system, coordinates the provisioning, monitoring, and maintenance among the products and interfaces with other network management systems.

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not contain all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, in our opinion, such condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of interim period results. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 2002.

     The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year or for other future interim periods.

Note 3. Goodwill

     We first recorded goodwill and other related intangibles and their related amortization in connection with the acquisition of Millennia Systems, Inc. (“Millennia”) in August 2000 and the subsequent acquisition of certain product lines of Litton Network Access Systems, a division of Litton Systems, Inc. (“LNAS”), in October 2000. Goodwill and other related intangibles were amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives ranging from three to five years. In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (“SFAS 142”), “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” SFAS 142 requires that goodwill no longer be amortized, but instead be reviewed for impairment on an on-going basis. Accordingly, the amortization of goodwill and other related intangibles ceased upon adoption of the SFAS 142 on January 1, 2002. We have determined that we have one reporting unit. As of the date of the adoption, we performed the test for impairment and no impairment was indicated. Due to our declining stock price, we reviewed our goodwill for impairment as of September 30, 2002 and determined that the entire carrying amount of our goodwill had been impaired. Therefore an asset impairment charge of $9.0 million was taken in the third quarter. The reconciliation of reported net loss and reported loss per share with adjusted net loss and adjusted loss per share representing the effect of adopting SFAS 142, is as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):
