**NOTES
      TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
      STATEMENTS**





**1.
      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**





**BASIS
      OF PRESENTATION**





AltiGen
      Communications, Inc. (“we” or the “Company”) is a pioneer and market leader in
      Internet protocol telephony systems for small-to medium-sized businesses. We
      design, manufacture and market next generation, Internet protocol phone systems
      and contact centers that use both the Internet and the public telephone network
      to take advantage of the convergence of voice and data communications. Unlike
      traditional proprietary phone systems, our systems are designed with open
      architecture and are built on an industry standard platform. This adherence
      to
      industry standards allows our products to play an important role in the small-to
      medium- sized business market by delivering phone systems that can integrate
      with other technologies and provide integrated voice and data solutions.





The
      accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
      prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
      financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10
      of
      Regulation S-X. Accordingly, 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
      the
      rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
      These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the
      operations of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant
      intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. In our opinion,
      these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all
      adjustments necessary (which are of a normal and recurring nature) for a fair
      presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash
      flows for the periods presented.





These
      financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated
      financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007, included
      in
      the Company’s 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on December 27,
      2007. AltiGen’s results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily
      indicative of the results of operations for any other interim period or for
      a
      full fiscal year.





**CASH
      AND CASH EQUIVALENTS AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS**





We
      consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months
      or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Short-term investments
      are in highly liquid financial instruments with original maturities greater
      than
      three-months but less than one year and are classified as “available-for-sale”
investments. Investments are reported at their fair value, with unrealized
      gains
      and losses excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of
      stockholders’ equity. As of December 31, 2007, our cash and cash equivalents
      consisted of commercial paper and cash deposited in checking and money market
      accounts.





**INVENTORIES**





Inventories
      (which include costs associated with components assembled by third-party
      assembly manufacturers, as well as internal labor and allocable overhead) are
      stated at the lower of standard cost (which approximates actual cost on a
      first-in, first-out basis) or market value. Provisions, when required, are
      made
      to reduce excess and obsolete inventories to their estimated net realizable
      values. We regularly monitor inventory quantities on hand and record a provision
      for excess and obsolete inventories based primarily on our estimated forecast
      of
      product demand and production requirements for the next six months.
      A s
      of
      September 30, 2007, we recognized $96,000 of provision for excess and obsolete
      inventories. For the three months ended December 31, 2007, we recognized $2,000
      of provision for excess and obsolete inventories. The c omponents
      of inventories include (in thousands):

**LONG-TERM
      INVESTMENTS**





As
      of
      December 31, 2007, we held an investment of common stock of a private Taiwanese
      telecommunication company valued at approximately $195,000 accounted for using
      the cost method. Our interest in the company is approximately 2%, which interest
      does not allow us to exercise significant influence.





In
      July
      2004, we purchased common stock of a private Korean telecommunications company
      for $79,000. As a result of this investment, we acquired approximately 23%
      of
      the voting power of the company. This gives us the right to nominate and elect
      one of the three members of the Company’s current board of directors. We are
      accounting for this investment using the equity method and record our minority
      interest of their results in our results of operations. As of December 31,
      2007,
      our investment in the Korean company had a remaining book value of approximately
      $19,000 compared to $14,000 at fiscal year 2007.





We
      perform periodic reviews of our investments for impairment. Our investments
      are
      considered impaired when a review of the issuer’s operations and other
      indicators of impairment indicate that the carrying value of the investment
      is
      not likely to be recoverable. Such indicators include, but are not limited
      to,
      limited capital resources, limited prospects of receiving additional financing,
      and limited prospects for liquidity of the related securities. No write-downs
      were recorded as of December 31, 2007.





**REVENUE
      RECOGNITION**





The
      Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”)
      97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition.” Revenue consist of sales to end-users,
      including resellers, and to distributors. Revenue from sales to end-users
      including resellers are recognized upon shipment, when risk of loss has passed
      to the customer, collection of the receivable is reasonably assured, persuasive
      evidence of an arrangement exits, and the price is fixed and determinable.
      Sales
      to distributors are made under terms allowing certain rights of return and
      protection against subsequent price declines on the Company's products held
      by
      its distributors. Upon termination, any unsold products may be returned by
      the
      distributor for a full refund. These agreements may be canceled by either party
      based on a specified notice. As a result of the above provisions, the Company
      defers recognition of distributor revenue until such distributors resell our
      products to their customers. The amounts deferred as a result of this policy
      are
      reflected as “deferred revenue” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
      The related cost of revenue is also deferred and reported in the consolidated
      balance sheets as inventory.





**SOFTWARE
      ASSURANCE**





Effective
      September 4, 2007, we introduced our Software Assurance Program which provides
      our customers with the latest updates, new releases, and technical support
      for
      the applications they are licensed to use. The program is an annual subscription
      and can range from one to three years. Sales from the software assurance program
      are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue evenly over the
      terms
      of the subscriptions.




Software
      components are generally not sold separately from our hardware components.
      Software revenue consists of license revenue that is recognized
      upon delivery of the application products or features. We provide Software
      Assurance consisting primarily of the latest software updates, patches, new
      releases and technical support. In accordance with SOP 97-2, revenue earned
      on
      software arrangements involving multiple elements is allocated to each element
      based upon the relative fair value of the elements. The revenue allocated on
      this element is recognized with the initial licensing fee on delivery of the
      software. This Software Assurance revenue is in addition to the initial
      license fee, and is recognized over a period of one to three years. The
      estimated cost of providing Software Assurance during the arrangement is
      insignificant; and unspecified upgrades/enhancements offered at no cost
      during Software Assurance arrangements historically have been and are expected
      to continue to be minimal and infrequent. All estimated costs of providing
      the
      services, including upgrades and enhancements are spread over the life of the
      Software Assurance term.





**STOCK-BASED
      COMPENSATION**




Commencing
      October 1, 2005, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
      Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), “ *Share
      Based Compensation* ”
(“SFAS
      No. 123(R)”), which requires all share-based compensation, including grants of
      stock options, to be recognized in the income statement as an operating expense,
      based on their fair market values. On October 1, 2005, first day of fiscal
      2006,
      the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective method.
      Under
      this transition method, stock based compensation cost recognized subsequent
      to
      October 1, 2005 included: (i) compensation cost for all share-based awards
      granted prior to but not yet vested as of September 30, 2005, based on the
      grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), and
      (ii) compensation cost for all share-based awards granted subsequent to
      September 30, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance
      with SFAS No. 123(R). In accordance with the modified prospective method of
      adoption, the Company has not restated the Company’s results of operations and
      financial position for prior periods.

Prior
      to
      adopting SFAS No. 123(R), the Company accounted for stock-based employee
      compensation under Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25,
“ *Accounting
      for Stock Issued to Employees* ,” as
      amended by SFAS No. 148, “ *Accounting
      for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosures* .”
The
      Company applied
      the modified prospective method in adopting SFAS No. 123(R) and, accordingly,
      the Company recorded compensation costs as the requisite service was rendered
      for the unvested portion of previously issued awards that remain outstanding
      at
      the initial date of adoption. Periods prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R)
      have not been restated.





The
      Black-Scholes option pricing model was developed for use in estimating the
      fair
      value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully
      transferable. In addition, option pricing models require the input of highly
      subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. The
      Company estimates expected stock price volatility based on historical volatility
      rates since our initial public offering, trended into future years. Because
      the
      Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different
      from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input
      assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's
      opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single
      measure of the fair value of our options. The Company bases the risk-free
      interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option upon the
      U.S. Treasury yield.





The
      fair
      value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the
      Black-Scholes option pricing model, and is not subject to revaluation as a
      result of subsequent stock price fluctuations. The
      underlying weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model and
      the
      resulting estimates of fair value per share were as follows for options granted
      during the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006:

During
      the three months ended December 31, 2007, 3.0 million shares of Company common
      stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding options are exercisable with a
      weighted-average exercise price of $3.93. The weighted-average remaining
      contractual term for outstanding options at December 31, 2007 was 6.0 years.





At
      December 31, 2007, the Company has $1.1 million in unamortized stock-based
      compensation related to our employee stock option plan. We estimate this expense
      will be amortized and recognized over the next 4 years.





Under
      the
      1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “1999 Purchase Plan”), we had reserved,
      as of September 30, 2007, 670,890 shares of common stock for issuance to
      eligible employees at a price equal to 85% of the lower of the fair market
      value
      of the common stock on the first day of the offering period or a specified
      exercise date (last trading day in April or October). During
      the three months ended December 31, 2007, 95,830 shares were purchased by and
      distributed to employees at a price of $1.35 per share.




**COMPUTATION
      OF BASIC AND DILUTED NET LOSS PER SHARE**





The
      Company bases its basic earnings per share upon the weighted average number
      of
      common shares outstanding during the period in accordance with SFAS
      No. 128, *Earnings
      per Share* (“SFAS
      No. 128”). Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing income
      available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of
      common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect
      the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to
      issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. For the three
      months ended December 31, 2007, basic and diluted net loss per share numbers
      were identical as potential common shares resulting from the exercise of stock
      options were antidilutive and consequently excluded from the Company’s fully
      diluted share capital.





Basic
      and
      diluted loss per share for each of the two quarters in the period ended December
      31, 2007 and 2006 were as follows (in thousands, except for per share data):

Options
      to purchase 4.6 million and 3.5 million shares of common stock were
      outstanding as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and were
      excluded from the computation of diluted net earnings per share for these
      periods because their effect would have been antidilutive.

**COMPREHENSIVE
      LOSS**





Comprehensive
      income consists of two components, net income and other comprehensive income.
      Other comprehensive income refers to revenue, expenses, gains, and losses that
      under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles are recorded as an element
      of shareholders' equity but are excluded from net income. The Company's other
      comprehensive income consists of unrealized gains and losses on marketable
      securities categorized as available-for-sale.





Comprehensive
      losses for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were as follows

      WARRANTY**





The
      Company provides a one year warranty for hardware products starting upon
      shipment to end users. We have historically experienced minimal warranty costs.
      Factors that affect our warranty liability include the number of installed
      units, historical experience and management's judgment regarding anticipated
      rates of warranty claims and cost per claim. We assess the adequacy of our
      recorded warranty liability every quarter and make adjustments to the liability
      if necessary.

      COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES**





*Commitments*




We
      lease
      our facilities under various operating lease agreements expiring on various
      dates through February 2009. The Company leases approximately 32,000 square
      feet to serve as our headquarters for corporate administration, research and
      development, manufacturing, and sales and marketing facility in Fremont,
      California. The lease for its headquarters expires on February 21, 2009. Rent
      expense for all operating leases totaled approximately $168,000 and $141,000
      for
      the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. In June 2007,
      the Company’s Shanghai branch entered into a new lease agreement for a period of
      three years. The Company believes
      its current facilities are adequate to support its needs through the end of
      fiscal 2008. Additionally,
      the Company also leases certain equipment under capital lease arrangements.
      The
      minimum future lease payments under all noncancellable capital and operating
      leases as of December 31, 2007 are as follows (in thousands):

*Contingencies*





From
      time
      to time, we may become party to litigation in the normal course of our business.
      Litigation in general, and intellectual property and securities litigation
      in
      particular, can be expensive and disruptive to normal business operations.
      Moreover, the results of complex litigation are difficult to predict.




On
      September 6, 2002, Vertical Networks, Inc. filed suit against us in the United
      States District Court for the Northern District of California,
      alleging infringement of U.S. Patents Nos. 6,266,341, 6,289,025, 6,292,482,
      6,389,009, and 6,396,849.  On October 28, 2002, Vertical Networks amended
      its complaint to add allegations of infringement of U.S. Patents Nos. 5,617,418
      and 5,687,174.  Vertical Networks filed a second amended complaint on
      November 20, 2002 to identify products and/or activities that allegedly infringe
      the seven patents-in-suit.  Vertical Networks' Complaint seeks
      an injunction against future patent infringement, an award of damages,
      including treble damages for alleged willful infringement, and attorneys' fees
      and costs.  On December 9, 2002, we filed an answer and counterclaims
      for declaratory relief, and on December 26, 2002, Vertical Networks filed its
      reply to those counterclaims.  On October 4, 2007, the parties entered into
      a stipulation dismissing the lawsuit in its entirety without
      prejudice.

      STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM**





On
      October 23, 2007, our Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to $2.0
      million of our common stock in the open market. The repurchases will be made
      from time to time through November 14, 2008 at the Company’s discretion
      depending on factors such as our stock price, general business and market
      conditions, and other investment opportunities. The repurchase will be made
      in
      the open market and will be funded from available working capital. Under
      the
      currently active authority, the Company repurchased 109,378 shares in the three
      months ended December 31, 2007 for an aggregate cost of $174,000.





**5.
      SUBSEQUENT EVENT**




On
        January 31, 2008, we entered into a Cooperation Agreement with the US Express
        Leasing, Inc. (“USXL”), based in Parsippany, New Jersey, to provide financing
        services for our sales activities. Under the Cooperation Agreement, the Company
        and USXL will establish a private label financing program under the label
        of
        AltiGen Communications Finance (“ACF”) and marketing support relationship (the
“Program”) pursuant to which USXL will finance the acquisition of products,
        software and services on behalf of the customers (the “Customers”) of AltiGen’s
        Resellers in the United States of America. The agreement has an initial term
        of
        three (3) years from the effective date. If neither party delivers written
        notice to the other of its intention to terminate the agreement with ninety
        (90)
        days prior to the end of such initial term or any renewal term, the term
        of the
        agreement shall be automatically renewed for successive one (1) year renewal
        terms until so terminated.

**OVERVIEW**





We
      are a
      pioneer and market leader in Internet protocol telephony systems for small-to
      medium-sized businesses. We design, manufacture and market next generation,
      Internet protocol phone systems and contact centers that use both the Internet
      and the public telephone network to take advantage of the convergence of voice
      and data communications. Unlike traditional proprietary phone systems, our
      systems are designed with open architecture and are built on an industry
      standard platform. This adherence to industry standards allows our products
      to
      play an important role in the small-to medium-sized business market by
      delivering phone systems that can integrate with other technologies and provide
      integrated voice and data solutions. We believe this enables our customers
      to
      implement communication systems that have an increased return on investment
      versus past technology investments. We generated net revenue of $4.3 million
      and
      $4.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006,
      respectively. As of December 31, 2007 we had an accumulated deficit of $53.1
      million. Net cash provided by operating activities was $288,000 for the three
      months ended December 31, 2007.





We
      derive
      our revenue from sales of our telephone systems. Product revenue is comprised
      of
      direct sales to end-users (including dealers) and sales to distributors. Revenue
      from product sales to end users and resellers are recognized upon shipment.
      We
      defer recognition of revenue for sales to distributors until they resell our
      products to their customers. Upon shipment, we also provide a reserve for the
      estimated cost that may be incurred for product warranty. Under our distribution
      contracts, a distributor has the right, in certain circumstances, to return
      products it determines are overstocked, so long as it provides an offsetting
      purchase order for products in an amount equal to or greater than the dollar
      value of the returned products. In addition, we provide distributors protection
      from subsequent price reductions.





Our
      cost
      of revenue consists of component and material costs, direct labor costs,
      provisions for excess and obsolete inventory, warranty costs and overhead
      related to the manufacturing of our products. Several factors that have affected
      and will continue to affect our revenue growth are the state of economy, the
      market acceptance of our products, our ability to add new resellers and our
      ability to design, develop, and release new products. We engage third-party
      assemblers, which for the three months ended December 31, 2007, were All Quality
      Services and Bestronics in San Jose, to insert the hardware components into
      the
      printed circuit board. We purchase fully-assembled chassis from Advantech
      Corporation, Analog phones from Fanstel Corporation and Internet protocol phones
      from BCM Communications, Inc. We selected our manufacturing partners with the
      goals of ensuring a reliable supply of high-quality finished products and
      lowering per unit product costs as a result of manufacturing economies of scale.
      We cannot assure you that we will maintain the volumes required to realize
      these
      economies of scale or when or if such cost reductions will occur. The failure
      to
      obtain such cost reductions could materially adversely affect our gross margins
      and operating results.





We
      continue to focus on (i) developing enhancements to our current products to
      provide greater functionality and increased capabilities, based on our market
      research, customer feedback and our competitors' product offerings and (ii)
      creating new product offerings to both enhance our position in our target market
      segment and enter new geographical markets. Additionally, we intend to continue
      selling our products to small-to medium-sized businesses, enterprise businesses,
      multisite businesses, corporate and branch offices and call centers. Also,
      we
      plan to continue to recruit additional resellers and distributors that focus
      on
      selling phone systems to our target customers. We believe that the adoption
      rate
      for this Internet telephony  is
      much
      faster with small-to medium-sized businesses because many of them have no
      significant investment on their books for traditional phone systems. Also,
      we
      believe that small-to medium-sized businesses are looking for call center-type
      administration to increase the productivity and efficiency of their contacts
      with customers. Assuming that current market trends continue as a result of
      our
      enhanced products, we expect to see continued revenue growth for fiscal year
      2008. These trends include the growth in acceptance of our call center products,
      the growth in the marketplaces of Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, and the
      status quo of the North American economy.

**CRITICAL
      ACCOUNTING POLICIES**





*Revenue
      Recognition.* Net
      sales
      consist primarily of revenue from direct sales to
      end-users, including resellers, and sales to distributors. The Company
      recognizes r evenue
      pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104, *Revenue
      Recognition* ,
      (“SAB
      No. 104”). Revenue from sales to end-users are recognized upon shipment, when
      risk of loss has passed to the customer, collection of the receivable is
      reasonably assured, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, and the sales
      price is fixed and determinable. We provide for estimated sales returns and
      allowances and warranty costs related to such sales at the time of
      shipment in
      accordance with SFAS No. 48, *Revenue
      Recognition when Right of Return Exists* (“SFAS
      No. 48”). Net
      revenue consists of product revenue reduced by estimated sales returns and
      allowances. Sales to distributors are made under terms allowing certain rights
      of return and protection against subsequent price declines on our products
      held
      by its distributors. Upon termination, any unsold products may be returned
      by
      the distributor for a full refund. These agreements may be canceled without
      cause by either party following a specified notice period. As a result of the
      above provisions, we defer recognition of distributor revenue until such
      distributors resell our products to their customers. The amounts deferred as
      a
      result of this policy are reflected as “deferred revenue” in the accompanying
      consolidated balance sheets. The related cost of revenue is also deferred and
      reported in the consolidated balance sheets as inventory. Our total deferred
      revenue was $1.3 million and $821,000 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006,
      respectively. The increase was primarily driven by the sales of our new product,
      software assurance program. In the quarter ended December 31, 2007, software
      assurance represented approximately $363,000 of total deferred
      revenue.





*New
      Program.* Effective September 4, 2007, we introduced our Software Assurance Program which
      provides our customers with the latest updates, new releases, and technical
      support for the applications they are licensed to use. The program is an annual
      subscription and can range from one to three years. Sales from the software
      assurance program are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue
      evenly over the terms of the subscriptions.




Software
      components are generally not sold separately from our hardware components.
      Software revenue consists of license revenue that is recognized
      upon delivery of the application products or features. We provide Software
      Assurance consisting primarily of the latest software updates, patches, new
      releases and technical support. In accordance with SOP 97-2, revenue earned
      on
      software arrangements involving multiple elements is allocated to each element
      based upon the relative fair value of the elements. The revenue allocated on
      this element is recognized with the initial licensing fee on delivery of the
      software. This Software Assurance revenue is in addition to the initial
      license fee, and is recognized over a period of one to three years. The
      estimated cost of providing Software Assurance during the arrangement is
      insignificant; and unspecified upgrades/enhancements offered at no cost
      during Software Assurance arrangements historically have been and are expected
      to continue to be minimal and infrequent. All estimated costs of providing
      the
      services, including upgrades and enhancements are spread over the life of the
      Software Assurance term.





*Cash
      and Cash Equivalents* .
      Cash
      and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits with banks and highly liquid
      investments with a time to maturity of three months or less at the time of
      purchase.




*Short-Term
      Investment.* Short-term
      investments are highly liquid financial instruments with original maturities
      greater than three months but less than one year and are classified as
“available-for-sale” investments. We classify our available-for-sale securities
      as current assets. We report our available-for-sale securities at their fair
      value. Further, we recognize unrealized gains and losses in our available-for
      sale securities as an increase or reduction in shareholders’ equity. We evaluate
      our available-for-sale securities for impairment quarterly.





*Inventory* .
      Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.
      Our inventory balance was $2.0 million and $1.8 million as of December 31,
      2007
      and 2006, respectively. We perform a detailed review of inventory each fiscal
      quarter, with consideration given to future customer demand for our products,
      obsolescence from rapidly changing technology, product development plans, and
      other factors. If future demand or market conditions for our products are less
      favorable than those projected by management, or if our estimates prove to
      be
      inaccurate due to unforeseen technological changes, we may be required to record
      additional inventory provision which would negatively affect gross margins
      in
      the period when the write-downs were recorded. In prior periods, we had
      established a reserve to write off excess inventory which management believed
      would not be sold. The reserve was reduced by $2,000 and $16,000 during the
      periods ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Our inventory allowance
      was $2.4 million as of December 31, 2007.





*Warranty
      Cost.* We
      accrue for
      warranty costs based on estimated product return rates and the expected material
      and labor costs to provide warranty services. If actual products return rates,
      repair cost or replacement costs differ significantly from our estimates, then
      our gross margin could be adversely affected. The liability for product
      warranties was $145,000 and $267,000 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006,
      respectively. This change was the result of a significant decline in the product
      return rate caused by changes in the Company’s management of the return
      programs. As a consequence of the Company’s standardized manufacturing processes
      and product testing procedures, returns of defective product are infrequent
      and
      the quantities have not been significant. Accordingly, historical warranty
      costs
      have not been material.

      organized and operate as two operating segments, the Americas and International.
      The Americas is comprised of the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America
      and the Caribbean. The International segment is comprised of China, the United
      Kingdom and Norway.

Net
      revenue in the three months ended December 31, 2007 was $4.3 million, a 3%
      decrease in net revenue when compared to the same period
      of
      the previous fiscal year. Revenue
      generated in the Americas accounted for $3.6 million, or 86% of total net
      revenue, for the three months ended December 31, 2007 as compared to $4.0
      million, or 90% of total net revenue, for the same period in the previous fiscal
      year. The systems shipped were 6% higher than the previous year but the average
      revenue per system was lower by 14%, reflecting a lower number of extensions
      per
      system shipped.





**Cost
      of Revenue**





Cost
      of
      revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2007 was $1.9 million compared
      to $2.0 million in the same period of the previous fiscal year. Cost of revenue
      as a percentage of net revenue was 44% and 46% for the three months ended
      December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. This decrease was primarily
      attributable to shipping systems with fewer extensions during the three months
      ended December 31, 2007.




**Research
      and Development (“R&D”)**




Research
      and development expenses consist primarily of costs related to personnel and
      overhead expenses, consultant expenses and other costs associated with design,
      development, prototyping and testing of our products and enhancements of our
      converged telephone system software. Research and development expenses increased
      by approximately $98,000 from $817,000 in the three months ended December 31,
      2006 to $915,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2007. Research and
      development expenses as a percentage of revenue increased from 19% in the three
      months ended December 31, 2006 to 21% in the three months ended December 31,
      2007. The expense increase in absolute dollars in research and development
      was a
      result of increase in personnel-related expenses of approximately $72,000 and
      an
      increase of $29,000 in consulting expenses. This
      increase was partially offset by decrease in non-cash
      stock based compensation expense required by SFAS No. 123(R).


16


We
      believe that research and development expenses will increase in the future
      periods over the long term to remain competitive. In the short term, we intend
      to continue to focus on cost control while business conditions improve.





**Sales
      and Marketing**




Sales
      and
      marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions and related
      expenses for personnel engaged in marketing, sales and customer support
      functions, as well as trade shows, advertising, and promotional expenses. Sales
      and marketing expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2007 were $1.8
      million compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2006.
      Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue were 41% and 27% for
      the
      three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The
      most
      significant factor in the increase in the three months ended December 31, 2007
      compared to the same periods in fiscal 2007 was the increase in
      personnel-related expenses of approximately $374,000 due to an increase in
      headcount of 15 employees. Other factors include an increase in travel-related
      expenses of approximately $28,000; a $33,000 increase in consulting expenses;
      a
      $67,000 increase in advertising expense; and a $79,000 increase in
      service-related expenses.





We
      anticipate sales and marketing expenses will increase in future periods over
      the
      long term due to increased staffing levels, particularly in sales, increased
      marketing activities and increased commission expense to the extent we achieve
      higher sales levels.





**General
      and Administrative (“G&A”)**





General
      and administrative expenses consist of salaries and related expenses for
      executive, finance and administrative personnel, facilities, allowance for
      doubtful accounts, legal, and other general corporate expenses. General and
      administrative expenses were $814,000 for the three months ended December 31,
      2007 and $582,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2006. The
      increase in absolute dollars in general and administrative was driven by an increase
      in personnel-related expenses of approximately $80,000 and $143,000 increase
      in
      non-cash stock based compensation expense required by SFAS No. 123(R). These
      increases are directly tied to the hiring
      of
      our new president and chief operating officer, Jeremiah Fleming. General
      and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue were 19% for the three
      months ended December 31, 2007 and 13% for the same period in fiscal 2006.





We
      expect
      general and administrative expenses to increase due to the cost associated
      with
      compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act during fiscal year
      2008.





**Equity
      Investment in Common Stock of Private Company**





Equity
      investment in common stock of private company is primarily our allocated portion
      of the net income or losses of a private Korean telecommunications company
      acquired an ownership
      interest in
      July
      2004. We purchased common stock of a private Korean telecommunications company
      for approximately $79,000. As a result of this investment, we acquired
      approximately 23% of the voting power of the company. This gives us the right
      to
      nominate and elect one of the three members of the Company’s current board of
      directors. We are accounting for this investment using the equity method. For
      the three months ended December 31, 2007, total equity in net income of this
      company was approximately $3,000 as compared to a net loss of $3,000 during
      the
      same period in fiscal 2007.





**Interest
      Expense and Other Income, Net**





Net
      interest and other income decreased to $112,000 for the three months ended
      December 31, 2007 from $120,000 for three months ended December 31, 2006. The
      change was directly related to lower interest rates. The
      weighted average interest rate earned by us on our cash, cash equivalents,
      and
      short-term investments decreased to 4.43% in the three months ended December
      31,
      2007 as compared to the 5.84% rate earned during the same period in fiscal
      2007. We
      expect
      net interest and other income to remain relatively flat with little change
      in
      cash available to invest.

**Liquidity
      and Capital Resources**





Since
      inception, we have financed our operations primarily through the sale of equity
      securities. As of December 31, 2007, we held cash, cash equivalents and
      short-term investments totaling $10.1 million. As of December 31, 2007, $5.9
      million of our total assets are classified as cash and cash equivalents compared
      with $5.7 million in the same period in the prior year. Short-term investments
      were approximately $4.2 million and $4.3 million as of December 31, 2007 and
      2006, respectively.





We
      believe our existing balances of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term
      investments, as well as cash expected to be generated from operating activities,
      will be sufficient to satisfy our working capital needs, capital expenditures,
      and other liquidity requirements associated with our existing operations over
      the next 12 months.

      following table presents selected financial information for each of the fiscal

*Changes
      in Cash Flows*





During
      the three months ended December 31, 2007, our net cash
      provided by operating activities was $288,000. This was primarily attributable
      to our net loss of $971,000, an increase of $417,000 in inventories, an increase
      of $223,000 in accounts payable, $705,000 increase in deferred revenue and
      $121,000 increase in accrued liabilities. These factors were partially offset
      by
      a decrease of $434,000 in accounts receivable. The cash impact of the loss
      for
      the three months ended December 31, 2007 was partially offset by non-cash
      adjustments of $61,000 in depreciation and amortization costs, and non-cash
      stock-based compensation expense of $229,000. The increase in deferred revenue
      was primarily due to an increase in our software assurance sales as well as
      an
      increase in deferred channel due to more products being shipped to distribution
      channels than was sold. Net cash provided by operating activities of $10,000
      in
      the three months ended December 31, 2006 was primarily due to a lower net loss
      of $94,000, a reduction in depreciation and amortization of approximately
      $63,000 and non-cash stock based compensation expense of $151,000. These factors
      were partially offset by an increase in accounts receivables of $219,000 and
      deferred revenue of approximately $290,000.





For
      the
      three months ended December 31, 2007, net cash used in investing activities
      was
      $434,000 as compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $526,000
      during the same period in fiscal 2007. This was directly related to purchases
      of
      short-term investments and proceeds from maturities of short-term investments.





Net
      cash
      used in financing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2007 was
      approximately $28,000 as compared to net cash provided by financing activities
      of $71,000 during the same period in fiscal 2007. This change was primarily
      related to the repurchase of treasury stock approved on October 23, 2007. Our
      Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to $2.0 million of our common
      stock in the open market. The repurchases will be made from time to time through
      November 14, 2008 at the Company’s discretion depending on factors such as our
      stock price, general business and market conditions, and other investment
      opportunities. The repurchase will be made in the open market and will be funded
      from available working capital. Under
      the
      currently active authority, the Company repurchased 109,378 shares in the three
      months ended December 31, 2007 for an aggregate cost of $174,000. During
      the three months ended December 31, 2007, our cash provided by financing
      activities was $146,000 which was related to the proceeds from the exercise
      of
      employee stock option and stock purchases through our employee stock purchase
      plan.


18


Net
      accounts receivable decreased to $2.2 million at December 31, 2007 from
      $2.7 million at September 30, 2007. The decrease in net accounts receivable
      was primarily due to decrease in net revenue and routine period-to-period
      fluctuations.





We
      ended
      the first quarter of fiscal 2008 with a cash conversion cycle of 93 days as
      compared to 78 days for the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The cash conversion
      cycle is the duration between purchase of inventories and services and the
      collection of the cash from the sale of our products and services and is a
      metric on which we have focused as we continue to try to efficiently manage
      our
      assets. The cash conversion cycle results from the calculation of days of sales
      outstanding (DSO) added to days of supply in inventories (DOS), reduced by
      days
      of payable outstanding (DPO).





Inventories
      increased to $2.0 million at December 31, 2007 from $1.6 million at
      September 30, 2007 and our inventory turn rate decreased to 3.7 at December
      31, 2007 from 5.7 at September 30, 2007. This increase in inventories was
      primarily attributable to a decrease in sales. Our annualized inventory turn
      rate represents the number of times inventory is replenished during the year.
      Inventory management will continue to be an area of focus as we balance the
      need
      to maintain strategic inventory levels to help ensure competitive lead times
      with the risk of inventory obsolescence due to rapidly changing technology
      and
      customer requirements.





Accounts
      payable increased to $1.0 million at December 31, 2007 from $821,000 at
      September 30, 2007. This
      increase to accounts payable during this period was primarily attributable
      to an
      increase in the number of components purchased in the first quarter of fiscal
      2008 and routine period-to-period fluctuations.





*Liquidity
      and Capital Resources*





As
      of
      December 31, 2007, our principal sources of liquidity included cash, cash
      equivalents and short-term investments of approximately $10.1 million. The
      maturities of our short-term investments are staggered throughout the year
      to
      ensure we meet our cash requirements.





Our
      cash
      needs depend on numerous factors, including market acceptance of and demand
      for
      our products, our ability to develop and introduce new products and enhancements
      to existing products, the prices at which we can sell our products, the
      resources we devote to developing, marketing, selling and supporting our
      products, the timing and expense associated with expanding our distribution
      channels, increases in manufacturing costs and the prices of the components
      we
      purchase, as well as other factors. If we are unable to raise additional capital
      or if sales from our new products or enhancements are lower than expected,
      we
      will be required to make additional reductions in operating expenses and capital
      expenditures to ensure that we will have adequate cash reserves to fund
      operations.





Additional
      financing, if required, may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all.
      We
      also may require additional capital to acquire or invest in complementary
      businesses or products, or obtain the right to use complementary technologies.
      If we cannot raise needed funds in the future if needed, on acceptable terms,
      we
      may not be able to further develop or enhance our products, take advantage
      of
      opportunities, or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated
      requirements, which could seriously harm our business. Even if additional
      financing is available, we may be required to obtain the consent of our
      stockholders, which we may or may not be able to obtain. In addition, the
      issuance of equity or equity-related securities will dilute the ownership
      interest of our stockholders and the issuance of debt securities could increase
      the risk or perceived risk of investing in our securities.





We
      did
      not have any material commitments for capital expenditures as of December 31,
      2007. We had total outstanding commitments on noncancelable capital and
      operating leases of $1.3 million as of December 31, 2007. Lease terms on our
      existing facility operating leases generally range from three to nine years.
      We
      believe, we have sufficient cash reserves to allow us to continue operations
      for
      more than a year. Our cash and short-term investments totaled approximately
      $10.1 million as of December 31, 2007.





On
      October 23, 2007, our Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to $2.0
      million of our common stock in the open market. The repurchases will be made
      from time to time through November 14, 2008 at the Company’s discretion
      depending on factors such as our stock price, general business and market
      conditions, and other investment opportunities. The repurchase will be made
      in
      the open market and will be funded from available working capital. During the
      three months ended December 31, 2007, the Company
      repurchased 109,378 shares at an aggregate cost of $174,000.

**Effects
      of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements**





In
      July
      2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 48, *Accounting
      for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,
      “Accounting for Income Taxes* ,” which
      seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of
      measurement and recognition in accounting for income taxes. In addition, FIN
      48
      provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest penalties and
      accounting in interim periods, and requires expanded disclosure with respect
      to
      the uncertainty in income taxes. W e
      adopted
      the provisions of FIN 48 on October 1, 2007. There was no impact on our
      consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows as a
      result of adoption. We have no unrecognized tax benefit as of December 31,
      2007,
      including no accrued amounts for interest and penalties.

**Item
      3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
      Risk**





At
      December 31, 2007, our investment portfolio consisted primarily of fixed income
      securities. These securities are subject to interest rate risk and will decline
      in value if market interest rates increase. Due to the short duration and
      conservative nature of these instruments, we do not believe that we have a
      material exposure to interest rate risk. For example, if market interest rates
      were to increase immediately and uniformly by 10% from levels as of December
      31,
      2007, the decline in the fair value of the portfolio would not have a material
      effect on our results of operations over the next fiscal year.





*Interest
      Rate Risk*


Our
      interest income and expense is most sensitive to fluctuations in the general
      level of U.S. interest rates. As such, changes in U.S. interest rates affect
      the
      interest earned on our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments,
      the
      value of those investments. Due to the short-term nature of our cash equivalents
      and investments, we have concluded that a change in interest rates does not
      pose
      a material market risk to us.





*Foreign
      Currency Exchange Risk*




We
      transact business in non-U.S. currencies, primarily the Chinese Yuan (Renminbi).
      In the short term, we do not foresee foreign exchange currency fluctuations
      to
      pose a material market risk to us. In future periods over the long term, we
      anticipate we will be exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange
      rates
      on accounts receivable from sales in these foreign currencies and the net
      monetary assets and liabilities of the related foreign subsidiary.





**Item
      4. Controls and Procedures**





*Evaluation
      of Disclosure Controls and Procedures*





Our
      management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
      participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief
      Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
      procedures as of the end of our quarter ended December 31, 2007 pursuant to
      Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). The term “disclosure controls
      and procedures,” as defined under the Exchange Act, means controls and other
      procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required
      to
      be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the
      Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
      periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
      Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and
      procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by
      a
      company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is
      accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its
      principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing
      similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
      disclosure. Based upon that evaluation, our President and Chief Executive
      Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of our
      quarter ended December 31, 2007, our disclosure controls and procedures were
      effective.





*Changes
      in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting*





There
      have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during
      the three months ended December 31, 2007 that has materially affected, or are
      reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial
      reporting.

**PART
      II. OTHER INFORMATION**





**Item
      1. Legal Proceedings**





On
      September 6, 2002, Vertical Networks, Inc. filed suit against us in the United
      States District Court for the Northern District of California,
      alleging infringement of U.S. Patents Nos. 6,266,341, 6,289,025, 6,292,482,
      6,389,009, and 6,396,849.  On October 28, 2002, Vertical Networks amended
      its complaint to add allegations of infringement of U.S. Patents Nos. 5,617,418
      and 5,687,174.  Vertical Networks filed a second amended complaint on
      November 20, 2002 to identify products and/or activities that allegedly infringe
      the seven patents-in-suit.  Vertical Networks' Complaint seeks
      an injunction against future patent infringement, an award of damages,
      including treble damages for alleged willful infringement, and attorneys' fees
      and costs.  On December 9, 2002, we filed an answer and counterclaims
      for declaratory relief, and on December 26, 2002, Vertical Networks filed its
      reply to those counterclaims.  On October 4, 2007, the parties entered into
      a stipulation dismissing the lawsuit in its entirety without
      prejudice.





From
      time
      to time, we may become party to litigation and subject to various routine claims
      and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. To
      date, these actions have not had a material adverse effect on our financial
      position, result of operations or cash flows. Although the results of litigation
      and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the final outcome
      of such matters would not have a material adverse effect on our business,
      financial position, results of operation and cash flows.





**Item
      2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds**





On
      October 23, 2007, our Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to $2.0
      million of our common stock in the open market. This authorization was announced
      on November 14, 2007.  Current cash balances and the proceeds from stock
      option exercises and employee stock purchase plan purchases have funded the
      stock repurchase program. Pursuant to the 2008 Board of Directors’
authorization, we repurchased 109,378 shares in the three months ended December
      31, 2007, at an approximate cost of $174,000. This
      authorization expires on November 14, 2008.
