NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(IN THOUSANDS)

(1)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the
information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the
Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31,
2001 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(2)  DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Propelis Software, Inc., formerly known as the Enterprise Integration Solutions
Division developed and sold EAI software that automates the integration of computer
software applications, and business workflow processes. The Company previously
determined to divest Propelis Software Inc. and focus on its core storage networking
and storage solutions businesses. Accordingly, Propelis Software, Inc. has been
accounted for as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements.

During the first quarter of 2001, the Company completed the sale of IntelliFrame,
which was affiliated with Propelis Software, Inc, including the
technology underlying the Propelis BPmTM product,
to webMethods for $8.8 million in cash and 273,542 shares of webMethods stock. The sale resulted in an after tax
gain of $12.6 million in the first quarter of 2001.

In the first quarter of 2001, the Company accrued $9.3 million for the estimated future operating losses of
Propelis Software, Inc. through the potential date of divestiture, resulting in an after tax loss of $6.2 million.




On August 23, 2001 the Company sold substantially all of the remaining assets and liabilities of Propelis
Software, Inc. to Jacada Ltd. for $6.0 million in cash, plus a warrant to purchase 350,000 ordinary shares of
Jacada Ltd. stock at a price of $3.26 per share. The final sales price is subject to adjustment based on the
closing balance sheet of Propelis. The transaction resulted in an
after tax gain of $1.8 million in the third quarter
of 2001.

(3)  MARKETABLE SECURITIES

During the first quarter of 2001, the Company sold 232,511 shares of webMethods stock received from the sale of
IntelliFrame for approximately $6.3 million, resulting in a pre-tax loss of approximately $8.7 million. The
Company also wrote-down the carrying value of the remaining 41,031 shares of webMethods stock that it still owns,
resulting in a pre-tax loss of approximately $1.5 million.

The Companys remaining investments in marketable securities primarily consist of bank certificates of deposit,
U.S. government and agency securities and commercial paper. Excluding the sale of webMethods stock noted above,
the Company did not realize any gains or losses from the sale of marketable securities during the nine months
ended October 31, 2001.

(6)  SEGMENT INCOME

The Company has two reportable segments consisting of its Networking Solutions business unit and
Storage Solutions business unit. The Networking Solutions business unit consists of our storage
and channel networking products and related services. The Storage Solutions business consists of
our SAN services and the storage management business we acquired from Articulent in April of
2001. The Companys two reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different
products and services. They are managed separately because each business requires different
market strategies. The Company evaluates performance based on operating profit or loss before
special charges and income taxes.

(7)  ACQUISITION OF ARTICULENT

On April 3, 2001 the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Articulent Inc., a privately held, leading
provider of storage solutions and services for $12.4 million in cash, plus the assumption of approximately $24
million of liabilities and the acquisition of approximately $19.3 million of tangible assets. The agreement
includes a potential $10 million incentive payout based upon meeting certain revenue and earnings milestones over the
twelve months following the acquisition. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and the consolidated financial statements of the
Company include the results of Articulent since April 3, 2001. The purchase price was allocated to the fair
value of the assets and liabilities acquired as follows:

|                                                        |                              |  |   |         |

The following table presents the consolidated results of operations of the Company for the nine months ended
October 31, 2001 on an unaudited pro forma basis as if the acquisition of Articulent took place as the beginning
of the year:

|                   |  |   |         |   | 
|------------------ |  | - | ------- | - | 
|Total revenue      |  | $ | 134,075 |  
|Net loss           |  | $ | (7,044  | )
|Net loss per share |  | $ | (.24    | )

The unaudited pro-forma results are for comparative purposes only and do not necessarily reflect the results that
would have been recorded had the acquisition occurred at the beginning of the period presented or the results
which might occur in the future.

(8)  NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 141 Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangibles Assets,
which change the accounting for business combinations and goodwill. SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase
method of accounting be used for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Use of the
pooling-of-interests methods is prohibited. SFAS No. 142 changes the accounting of goodwill from an
amortization method to an impairment-only approach. Amortization for goodwill, including goodwill recorded in
past business combinations, will therefore cease upon adoption of SFAS No. 142.

The Company will adopt SFAS No. 142 on February 1, 2002. The Company is in the process of evaluating whether it
will have any transitional impairment losses which would be required to be recognized as a cumulative effect of
change in accounting principle. For the nine months ended October 31, 2001, the Company had goodwill
amortization of $423,000, which under SFAS No. 141 it would not have after February 1, 2002.

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board approved SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 144 addresses the
financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of
long-lived assets and supersedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be
Disposed Of. However, this statement retains the fundamental
provisions of SFAS No. 121 for (a) recognition and measurement of the
impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used and (b)
measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale.

SFAS No. 144 also supersedes the accounting and
reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, Reporting the
Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment
of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring
Events and Transactions for the disposal of a segment of a
business. However, this Statement retains the requirement of APB No.
30 to report discontinued operations separately from continuing
operations and extends that reporting to a component of an entity
that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale.
This statement also amends ARB No. 51, Consolidated Financial
Statements to eliminate the exception to consolidation for a
temporarily controlled subsidiary. The Company is required and plans
to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 144 in the first quarter of
fiscal 2002.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
                OPERATIONS

Overview

We are a leading provider of hardware and software products and related services in the rapidly growing
storage networking and solutions market. We focus primarily on helping our clients design, develop, deploy and
manage storage networks and solutions.

The current global economic slowdown makes it difficult to predict the
demand for our products as we cannot forecast the length, duration and impact
of the slowdown. Slower growth throughout the economy has caused our customers
to reevaluate their capital spending plans, and to defer previously planned
projects for information technology infrastructure. However, we believe the need
for storage networking solutions is significant and will continue to
increase. The effects of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in
the United States have not had a material impact to date on our
operating results or financial position.

Due to the slowdown in customer spending for information technology
infrastructure, we took cost reduction actions that reduced our quarterly
expense run rate at the end of April 2001, including:



| |  |  | a 10 percent workforce reduction                 
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------
|
| |  |  | a wage freeze for all employees                  
|
| |  |  | a 10 percent pay cut for executive management    
|
| |  |  | a 5 percent pay cut for other employees; and     
|
| |  |  | significant reductions in
discretionary spending.

The reduction in demand for our products and services also resulted in the following charges in the first
quarter of 2001:



| |  |  | $2.0 million to write-down slow moving inventory        
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------
|
| |  |  | $325,000 for the write-off of our Filespeed product; and
|
| |  |  | $996,000 for restructuring,
principally severance.      

Sale and Write-down of webMethods Stock

During the first quarter of 2001, the Company sold 232,511 shares of webMethods stock received from the sale
of Intelliframe for approximately $6.3 million, resulting in a pre-tax loss of approximately $8.7 million. The
Company also wrote-down the carrying value of the remaining 41,031 shares of webMethods stock that it still owns,
resulting in a pre-tax loss of approximately $1.5 million.

Discontinued Operations  Divestiture of Propelis Software, Inc.




Propelis Software,
Inc., formerly known as the Enterprise Integration Solutions Division
developed and
sold EAI software that automates the integration of computer software applications, and business workflow

Software, Inc, including the technology underlying
the Propelis BPmTM product, to webMethods for $8.8 million in cash and 273,542 shares of webMethods stock. The
sale resulted in an after tax gain of $12.6 million in the first quarter of 2001.

In the first quarter of 2001, we accrued $9.3 million for the estimated future operating losses of
Propelis Software, Inc. through the potential date of divestiture, resulting in an after tax loss of $6.2 million.




On August 23, 2001 the Company sold substantially all of the remaining assets and liabilities of Propelis
Software, Inc. to Jacada Ltd. for $6.0 million in cash, plus a warrant to purchase 350,000 ordinary shares of
Jacada Ltd. stock at a price of $3.26 per share. The final sales price is subject to adjustment based on the

Revenue

Networking Solutions:

Our networking solutions business generated revenues of $38.9 million and $94.1 million for the three and
nine months ended October 31, 2001, respectively, decreases of 8% and 21%, respectively, from $42.2 million and
$119.7 million for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2000. Storage networking product revenues for the
three and nine months ended October 31, 2001 totaled $21.3 million and $45.1 million, respectively, down 8% and
24%, respectively, from $23.2 million and $59.3 million for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2000.
Approximately $800,000 of storage networking product revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2001 resulted
from the sale of our new UltraNet Edge product. Channel networking product revenues for the three and nine
months ended October 31, 2001 totaled $6.5 million and $15.4 million, respectively, down 23% and 49%,
respectively, from $8.4 million and $30.0 million for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2000. The
decrease in revenue from sales of both storage and channel networking products resulted from the global slow down
in capital spending for information technology equipment by our customers.

Service revenues associated with our networking business for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2001
totaled $11.1 million and $33.5 million, respectively, increases of 4% and 10%, respectively, from $10.6 million
and $30.5 million for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2000. The increases in both periods are due to
the larger installed base of customers using our networking products.

Storage Solutions:

Our storage solutions business, consisting of our SAN services and the storage solutions and services
business we acquired from Articulent in April of 2001, generated revenue for the three and nine months ended
October 31, 2001 of $16.5 million and $32.3 million, respectively, increases of 311% and 242%, respectively, from
$4.0 million and $9.4 million for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2000. Articulent accounted for a
significant portion of the increase.

General:




Revenue generated from the sale of products and services outside the United
States for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2001 totaled $12.0 million and $32.0 million,
respectively, decreases of 23% and 14%, respectively, from the three and nine months ended October 31, 2000.
The reduction was attributable to the global slow down in capital spending for information technology equipment
by our customers.




No single customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenue
during the three and nine months ended October
31, 2001. Price discounting had a small impact on our product revenue during
these periods.




During the nine
months ended October 31, 2001, approximately 26%, 6%, and 17% of our product revenue was
derived from businesses in the financial services, telecommunications and information outsourcing industries,
respectively.

##### Table of Contents



We expect continued quarter-to-quarter fluctuations in revenue in both
domestic and international markets. The timing of sizable orders, because of
their relative impact on total quarterly sales, may contribute to such
fluctuations. The level of product sales reported by us in any given period will
continue to be affected by the receipt and fulfillment of sizable new orders in
both domestic and international markets.

Gross Profit Margin

Networking:

Excluding the $2.0 million write-down of slow moving inventory and the $325,000 write-off of our Filespeed
product in the first quarter of 2001, gross product margins from the sale of networking products for the three
and nine months ended October 31, 2001 were 53% and 55%, respectively, down from 58% for both the three and nine
months ended October 31, 2000. The decline in gross margin percentage was due to the continued movement in sales
mix toward our UltraNet products which carry a lower margin than our older Channelink products, and higher levels
of sales discounts.

Gross service margins for our networking business improved in the three and nine months ended October 31,
2001 to 52% and 47%, respectively, from 45% for both the three and nine months ended October 31, 2000. The
improvement was due to the steadily increasing base of customers contracting for services and the cost reduction
actions that were taken in April 2001.

Storage Solutions:

Gross product margins for our storage solutions business for the three and nine months ended October 31,
2001 was 17% and 20%, respectively, compared to 49% and 57%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended
October 31,2000. The decline in gross margin percentages was primarily due to the expansion in solution offerings
resulting from the acquisition of Articulent in April 2001. Historically, the product solutions offered by
Articulent have generated gross margins in the 15% to 25% range.

Gross service margins for our storage solutions business for the three and nine months ended October 31,
2001 were a negative 17% and 27%, respectively, compared to a positive 15% and 20%, respectively, for the three
and nine months ended October 31, 2000. The decline in gross margin percentage and negative gross margins in
2001 is due to the fixed cost structure of the services business and low levels of service revenue. The service
costs for the solutions business, mainly people, tend to be fixed in nature. We expect to generate a gross
profit in the future as business volumes pick up.

Operating Expenses

Networking:




Sales and marketing expense for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2001 totaled $11.8 million and
$31.3 million, respectively, increases of 20% and 12%, respectively, from $9.8 million and $27.8 million for the
three and nine months ended October 31, 2000. Since the beginning of 2001, we have increased our sales force by
over 25% and have added additional sales management to increase revenue and grow our business.




Engineering and development expense for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2001 totaled $5.7 million
and $17.1 million, respectively, increases of 7% and 2%, respectively, from $5.3 million and $16.7 million for
the three and nine months ended October 31, 2000. The increases were primarily due to continued development of
our UltraNet® family of products, particularly the UltraNet Edge product, which generated $800,000 of revenue in
the three months ended October 31, 2001.

Storage Solutions:

Sales, marketing, engineering and development expense for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2001
totaled $2.6 million and $5.9 million, respectively, increases of 198% and 102%, respectively, from $869,000 and
$2.9 million for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2000. The increase in both periods was primarily
due to the incremental costs associated with the acquisition of Articulent in April 2001.

General and administrative:

General and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2001 totaled $2.3
million and $7.3 million, respectively, up 13% and 14%, respectively, from $2.0 and $6.3 million for the three
and nine months ended October 31, 2000. The increase in expense for the three and nine months ended October 31,
2001 when compared to the same periods of 2000 was primarily due to the acquisition of Articulent, including
charges for goodwill amortization for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2001 of $157,000 and $423,000,
respectively.

Other:

Excluding the $10.3 million loss from the sale and write-down of webMethods stock in the first quarter of
2001, other income for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2001 totaled $1.2 million and $4.4 million,
respectively, up from $731,000 and $952,000 for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2001, respectively.
We raised $110 million from a common stock offering in October 2000, resulting in higher balances of cash and
marketable securities available for investment and more interest income for the three and nine months ended
October 31, 2001. Pending further use of the offering proceeds for general corporate purposes or complementary
acquisitions, the funds are invested in investment grade, interest-bearing securities.

We recorded a provision for income taxes for the nine months ended October 31, 2001 at an effective income
tax rate of 31%, compared to 33% for the nine months ended October 31, 2000. The $10.3 million loss on the sale
and write-down of the webMethods stock in the first quarter of 2001 was taxed at an effective tax rate of 30%.
Excluding this item, our effective tax rate for the nine months ended October 31, 2001 would have been 33%. Our
effective tax rate for the three months ended October 31, 2001 and 2000 was 33%. Based on an assessment of our
taxable earnings history and prospective future taxable income, we have determined it to be more likely than not
that our net deferred tax asset will be realized in future periods. We may be required to provide a valuation
allowance for this asset in the future if we do not generate sufficient taxable income as planned.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have historically financed our operations through the public and private
sale of equity securities, bank borrowings under lines of credit, capital and
operating leases and cash generated by operations.

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at October 31, 2001 totaled
$117.1 million, a decrease of $33.3 million since January 31, 2001. The decrease
in cash and cash equivalents is primarily due to the acquisition of Articulent,
payments to reduce Articulents outstanding liabilities at the
time of acquisition
and higher levels of inventory at October 31, 2001.

Expenditures for capital equipment and field support spares have been, and
will likely continue to be, a significant capital requirement. We believe that
our current balances of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, when
combined with anticipated cash flows from operations, will be adequate to fund
our operating plans and meet our current anticipated aggregate capital
requirements, at least through the next year.

We believe that inflation has not had a material impact on our operations or
liquidity to date.

Market Risk

We have no derivative financial instruments in our cash and cash
equivalents. We mainly invest our cash and cash equivalents in investment grade,
highly liquid investments, consisting of money market instruments, bank
certificates of deposits, U.S. government and agency securities and commercial paper.

At October 31, 2001, our marketable securities included a $100,000 investment
in a Standard and Poors 500 stock price index fund and a $105,000 investment in
a NASDAQ 100 index tracking stock. These investments were purchased to directly
offset any investment gains or losses owed to participants under our executive
deferred compensation plan which has been established for selected key
employees.

We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in foreign exchange
rates because some sales transactions, and the assets and liabilities of our
foreign subsidiaries, are denominated in foreign currencies, primarily French
francs, the euro and British pounds sterling. As of October 31, 2001, we had open forward exchange contracts
totaling 1.3 million British pounds sterling that settle at various times through February of 2002.




Accounting Policies

In preparing the
consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America,
management must make decisions which impact the reported amounts and
the related disclosures. Such decisions include the selection of the
appropriate accounting principles to be applied and the assumptions
on which to base accounting estimates. In reaching such
decisions, management applies judgment based on its understanding and
analysis of the relevant circumstances. Note 1 to the consolidated
financial statements provides a summary of the significant accounting
policies followed in the preparation of the financial
statements.

The Company's critical accounting policies include the following:

Revenue Recognition
Revenue from product sales with standard
configurations and product sales with other than standard
configurations which have demonstrated to perform in accordance with
its customers specifications prior to shipment are recognized
upon shipment provided that (a) evidence of an arrangement exists (b)
delivery has occurred (c) the price to the customer is fixed and
determinable and (d) collectibility is assured. All other product
sales are recognized when customer acceptance is received or the
passage of the customer acceptance period. The Company accrues for
warranty costs and sales returns at the time of shipment based on its
experience. In transactions that include multiple products and/or
services, the Company allocates the sales value among cash of the
deliverables based on their relative fair values.

Service fees are recognized as revenue when earned,
which is generally on a straight-line basis over the contracted
service period or as the services are rendered. Deferred revenue
primarily consists of the unearned portion of service agreements
billed in advance to customers.

Valuation of Accounts
Receivable
Management reviews accounts receivable to determine which are
doubtful of collection. In making the determination of the
appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts, management considers the
Companys history of write-offs, relationships with its customers,
and the overall credit worthiness of its customers.

Valuation of Inventory
Management reviews obsolescence to determine that inventory items deemed
obsolete are appropriately reserved. In making the determination
management considers the Companys history of write-offs, future
sales of related products, and quantity of inventory at the balance
sheet date assessed against each parts past usage rates and future
expected usage rates.

Valuation Deferred Taxes
Management assesses the Companys taxable earnings history and
prospective future taxable income in order to determine whether it
will be more likely than not that its net deferred tax asset will be
realized in future periods. The Company may be required to provide a
valuation allowance for this asset in the future if it does not
generate sufficient taxable income as planned.
