NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS





1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION





The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Network Engines, Inc.
(Network Engines or the Company) in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited financial statements and the accompanying notes included in the Companys 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.





The information furnished reflects all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are of a normal
recurring nature and are considered necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods. It should also be noted that results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year or any
future period.





The preparation of these condensed consolidated 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 disclosures 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 those estimates.





2.    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES





| | Recent Accounting Pronouncements
| | --------------------------------




In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101,
Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements (SAB 101). This bulletin summarizes certain views of the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Staff) on applying generally accepted accounting principles
to revenue recognition in financial statements. The Staff believes that revenue is realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred or services have
been rendered; the sellers price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and collectibility is reasonably assured. In June 2000, the Staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101B, Second Amendment: Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements, (SAB 101B). SAB 101B delays the implementation of SAB 101 until the fourth quarter of the Companys fiscal year 2001. The Company does not expect the application of SAB 101 to have a material impact on the
Companys financial position or results of operations.

3.    NET LOSS PER SHARE





Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders for the
period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, excluding shares of common stock subject to repurchase by the Company (restricted shares). Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing
the net loss attributable to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potential common stock outstanding during the period, if dilutive. Potential common stock includes restricted shares and
incremental shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants and upon conversion of redeemable convertible preferred stock. Because the inclusion of potential common stock would be anti-dilutive for all periods
presented, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share.





The following table sets forth the potential common stock excluded from the calculation of net loss per
common share because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive (in thousands):

5.    CONTINGENCIES





On December 29, 1999, a former employee, George Flate, commenced a lawsuit against the Company, a current
officer and director and a former officer and director in Suffolk Superior Court, a Massachusetts state court. Mr. Flate alleges that he was unlawfully terminated as Vice President of OEM Sales in an effort to deprive him of commission payments. Mr.
Flate is seeking undisclosed damages based on two contractual claims relating to his employment, although the Company anticipates that Mr. Flate will claim damages in the multi-million dollar range. Specifically, Mr. Flate is alleging a breach of
the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing against the Company and a claim of intentional interference with contractual relations against the current and former officers of the Company named in the lawsuit. Both of these claims are based on
Mr. Flates allegations that he is entitled to commissions from several transactions that were negotiated after Mr. Flate was no longer with the Company. Mr. Flate was employed by the Company for approximately one year. Currently, the matter is
in the early stages of discovery. Although the Company believes that these claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against each claim asserted in the complaint, an adverse resolution of
either of these claims could require the payment of substantial monetary damages. Moreover, the Companys defense against these claims might result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources.





6.    ACQUISITION OF IP PERFORMANCE





On November 8, 2000, the Company completed its acquisition of IP Performance, Inc. (IP
Performance), a developer of network acceleration technology, through the exchange of 128,693 shares of Network Engines common stock for all outstanding shares of IP Performance capital stock. The acquisition was accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the fair market value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities have been included in the Companys financial statements as of the acquisition date and the results of IP Performance operations
have been included in the Companys financial statements thereafter. The purchase price of approximately $2,540,000, assumed net liabilities of approximately $94,000 and acquisition expenses of approximately $58,000 resulted in goodwill and
intangible assets of approximately $2,692,000. The Company is amortizing the goodwill and intangible assets over a three-year period resulting in approximately $150,000 of amortization during the three months ended December 31, 2000. The
Companys pro forma statements of operations prior to the acquisition would not differ materially from reported results.





The Company also issued 321,756 shares of restricted common stock to key employee shareholders of IP
Performance. These shares are restricted as to sale and such restrictions lapse in three equal annual installments beginning on November 8, 2001, contingent upon continued employment of the holder. In connection with the issuance of these restricted
shares, the Company recorded approximately $6,351,000 of deferred compensation, which is being recognized as stock compensation expense ratably over the vesting period. During the three months ended December 31, 2000, the Company recognized
approximately $353,000 of stock compensation expense. The amount of stock compensation expense to be recorded in future periods could decrease if holders of unvested restricted stock cease to be employees of the Company prior to the lapse of the
vesting period.





7.    INVENTORY WRITE-DOWN





In the first quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company recorded an inventory write-down of $14,965,000 for excess
and obsolete inventory related to the Companys WebEngine Blazer product. This excess and obsolete inventory was due to an unforeseen decline in sales of the WebEngine Blazer product during the first quarter of fiscal 2001 and to the
Companys transition from sales of the WebEngine Blazer product to sales of its next-generation WebEngine Sierra product.





8.SUBSEQUENT EVENTS





In January 2001, the Company entered into a series of related agreements with Lawrence A. Genovesi, the
Companys Chief Executive Officer. These agreements were entered into in order to avoid significant sales of the Companys stock by Mr. Genovesi as a result of a margin call on a personal loan that was collateralized by Mr. Genovesis
holdings of the Companys common stock. The Company agreed to guarantee a personal loan obtained by Mr. Genovesi from a financial institution (the Bank) through a deposit of $1,051,850 of the Companys cash with the Bank (the
Guarantee). The Guarantee period ends on January 9, 2002 and the balance of the amount deposited with the Bank will be returned to the Company. Mr. Genovesi and the Company also entered into an agreement whereby Mr. Genovesi has agreed
to reimburse the Company for any obligations incurred by the Company under the Guarantee (the Reimbursement Agreement). Any unpaid balances under the Reimbursement Agreement bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum. In the event of a
default of the Reimbursement Agreement by Mr. Genovesi, the Company has the right to apply any and all compensation due to Mr. Genovesi against all of Mr. Genovesis obligations outstanding under the
Reimbursement Agreement. In addition, the Company and Mr. Genovesi entered into a revolving promissory note of up to $210,000 (the Note). The Note bears interest at a rate of 5.9% per annum and is due and payable in full upon the earlier
of January 9, 2002 or 30 days following the date Mr. Genovesi ceases to be an employee of the Company.





In conjunction with the Guarantee, the Reimbursement Agreement and the Note, the Company and Mr. Genovesi
entered into a pledge agreement whereby Mr. Genovesi pledged to the Company all shares of the Companys common stock owned by Mr. Genovesi as of the date of the agreement or subsequently acquired, and all options and other rights to acquire
shares of the Companys common stock owned by Mr. Genovesi as of the date of the agreement or subsequently acquired (collectively the Pledged Securities). Additionally, Mr. Genovesi pledged to the Company all additional securities
or other consideration from time to time acquired by Mr. Genovesi in substitution for, or in respect of, the Pledged Securities. If Mr. Genovesi elects to sell any of the Pledged Securities during the term of the agreement, all proceeds of such sale
will be applied first to any outstanding obligations related to the Note and then to any amounts payable under the Reimbursement Agreement. In addition to the Pledged Securities, the Note is collateralized by a second mortgage on certain real
property owned by Mr. Genovesi. As of February 12, 2001, no amounts were outstanding under the Note or were required to be reimbursed to the Company under the Reimbursement Agreement.
