ADC TELECOMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSUNAUDITED

Note 1 Basis of Presentation:

All historical financial information has been restated to reflect the acquisitions of PairGain Technologies, Inc. and Broadband Access
Systems, Inc. which were completed in the third quarter and fourth quarter of fiscal year 2000, respectively, and were accounted for as poolings of interests.

The
interim information furnished in this report is unaudited but reflects all adjustments which are necessary, in the opinion of management, for a fair statement of the results for
the interim periods. The operating results for the quarter and nine months ended July 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full fiscal year.
These statements should be read in conjunction with our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements" ("SAB 101"). SAB 101, as amended, summarizes some of the SEC's views in applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements. We are currently
evaluating the effect, if any, that SAB 101 will have on operations or our financial position. We are required to adopt SAB 101 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001.

In
June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141") and
No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"). Under these new standards, all acquisitions subsequent to June 30, 2001 must be accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting, and purchased goodwill is no longer
amortized over its useful life. Rather, goodwill will be subject to a periodic impairment test based on its fair value. SFAS 142 is effective in fiscal year 2003, although earlier adoption is
permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential effect of the implementation of these two standards on our financial condition and results of operations. It is currently our intention to adopt
these standards beginning in fiscal 2002.

Note 3 Acquisitions:

On
November 20, 2000, we acquired France Electronique S.A.'s telecom systems integration business based near Paris, France. France Electronique's systems integration services
enable communications service providers to offer applications that integrate Internet, e-mail, voicemail, fax and voice services for delivery to wireless and wireline communication
devices. We paid $44 million in cash

to complete the transaction, which was accounted for using the purchase method. The value of the transaction is primarily goodwill and is being amortized over seven years using the
straight-line method. Operations of France Electronique have been included in our operations since the date of acquisition.

On
February 26, 2001, we acquired all of the outstanding equity interests in CommTech Corporation, a Cranbury, New Jersey-based company. CommTech is a provider of
end-to-end service order management, provisioning and activation software for communications service providers. In the transaction, we issued approximately 11.65 million
shares of our common stock to CommTech's shareholders. We also converted all outstanding CommTech stock options into options to acquire approximately 1.6 million shares of our common stock. The
transaction was accounted for as a pooling of interests. Since the historical operations of CommTech were not material to our consolidated operations or financial position, prior period annual
financial statements were not restated for this acquisition.

Note 4 Comprehensive Income (Loss):

The following table presents the calculation of comprehensive income (loss). Comprehensive income (loss) has no impact on our net income (loss). The components
of comprehensive income (loss) are as follows:

In
accordance with our policy to review our investment portfolio for declines that may be other than temporary, we recorded a $26.7 million ($16.8 million net of tax)
and $814.8 million ($513.3 million net of tax) non-cash loss on a lower-of-cost-or-market write-down on various
equity investments in our portfolio of marketable equity securities during the three and nine months ended July 31, 2001, respectively. This was a result of the downturn in market conditions in
the technology and telecommunication sectors of the market.

On
February 22, 2001, Siemens and Efficient Networks, Inc. entered into a definitive merger agreement. Pursuant to the merger agreement, Siemens purchased all of the
outstanding shares of Efficient Networks for $23.50 in cash per share. As a result of the merger, we recorded a gain of approximately $34.0 million ($21.0 million net of tax) from the
sale of approximately 1.8 million shares of Efficient Networks owned by us in the second quarter of fiscal 2001. This gain, together with the gains described in the following three paragraphs,
was recorded as an offset to the loss on the write-down of our marketable equity securities portfolio described in the preceding paragraph.

On
July 19, 2001, America Online, Inc. acquired InfoInterActive, Inc. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, AOL acquired all of the outstanding shares of
InfoInterActive for $1.42 in cash per share. As a result of the acquisition, we recorded a gain of approximately $2.1 million ($1.3 million

net of tax) from the sale of approximately 1.5 million shares of InfoInterActive owned by us in the third quarter of fiscal 2001.

In
the third quarter of fiscal 2001, we sold 3.4 million shares of our investment in Redback Networks and 1.6 million shares of our investment in ONI Systems. Prior to
sale, these shares had a cost basis of $62.8 million and $1.4 million, respectively. Upon the sale of the Redback Networks shares, we recognized a $44.6 million loss
($28.1 million net of tax), and upon the sale of the ONI Systems shares, we recognized a $29.6 million gain ($18.6 million net of tax).

In
the third quarter of fiscal 2001, we also entered into cashless collar arrangements to minimize the impact of a potential decrease in the market value of portions of our
investments in Redback Networks and ONI Systems. These cashless collar arrangements are contracts entered into with third party financial institutions whereby the financial institution guarantees a
certain floor value of the securities if held to maturity while simultaneously permitting us to participate in a certain amount of appreciation above the floor value. The financial institutions,
independent of us, engage in certain hedging transactions to manage their risk associated with these arrangements. During the third quarter, these arrangements were terminated in connection with the
sale of a portion of the underlying investments during the quarter. As a result, we recognized a cash gain of $55.2 million ($34.8 million net of tax) on the sale of the collars.

We
continue to own a minority interest in the following publicly held companies. These investments are stated at market value with the aggregate valuation adjustments from the
aggregate cost basis classified in shareowners' investment. As of July 31, 2001, the market value of these investments was as follows (in millions):

In
addition, we own an approximate 22% interest in MIND C.T.I. Ltd. As of July 31, 2001, our investment in MIND had a market value of approximately $11.7 million.
This investment is accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, a pro rata portion of MIND's profits or losses is reflected in our consolidated income statement.

As
of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2001, we have entered into cashless collar arrangements to minimize the impact of a potential decrease in the market value of our
investment in GlobeSpan and ONI Systems. These investments have a cost basis of approximately $37.4 million. The ONI Systems collar provides us with an aggregate floor value of approximately
$82.3 million if held to maturity while allowing us to participate in up to approximately $109.0 million in further appreciation above the floor value. The GlobeSpan collar provides us
with an aggregate floor value of approximately $35.3 million if held to maturity with no opportunity to participate in further appreciation above the floor value. These collars limit our
exposure to, and benefits from, price fluctuations in the underlying GlobeSpan and ONI Systems stock. The collars are designated as cash flow hedges of the underlying stock; therefore, all changes in
the market value of the collars and the underlying stock are included as a component of comprehensive income (loss) and are reflected in shareowners' investment. As of July 31, 2001, the market
value of these collar arrangements was $18.1 million.

Note 5 Earnings (Loss) Per Share:

Basic earnings (loss) per common share was calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share was calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding plus all additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive common shares had been issued. The following table reconciles the number of shares utilized in
the earnings (loss) per share calculations for the periods ended July 31, 2001 and 2000:

Note 6 Segment Reporting:

The "management approach" required by SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," requires us to disclose
selected financial data by operating segment. This approach is based upon the way management organizes segments within an enterprise for making operating decisions and assessing performance.

Our
segments currently reflect certain managerial changes made in connection with our restructuring initiatives. As a result of these changes, our Broadband Connectivity and Broadband
Access and Transport segments have been consolidated into a single Broadband Infrastructure and Access segment. There was no change in the reporting of the Integrated Solutions segment. All prior
period results have been restated to reflect the changes. Segment detail is summarized as follows:

Note 7 Non-Recurring and Other Restructuring Related Charges:

During the first quarter of fiscal 2001, we launched an initiative to focus our business on core operations and improve our operating performance by
restructuring and streamlining operations. This initiative includes the discontinuance of product lines, an intention to sell, harvest, or exit non-strategic businesses and the
consolidation of unproductive and duplicate facilities. In the first quarter of fiscal 2001, we began to take aggressive actions to achieve more cost-efficient operations. This initiative
will continue throughout fiscal 2001, and additional restructuring expenses are expected to be incurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001 in amounts that have not yet been determined. Certain
actions may not be completed until sometime during fiscal 2002. As a result of the actions taken as part of this initiative, we have recorded non-recurring charges and restructuring
related charges of $33.9 million ($21.0 million net of tax) and $227.8 million ($147.5 million net of tax) during the three and nine months ended July 31, 2001,
respectively. An additional $2.1 million ($2.0 million net of tax) and $9.0 million ($7.2 million net of tax) related to acquisition integration and other acquisition costs
were also incurred during the three and nine months ended July 31, 2001, respectively. The non-cash portion of these charges before tax was $1.6 million and
$77.2 million for the three and nine months ended

termination costs relate to headcount reductions resulting from the closure of facilities, elimination of product lines and general terminations attributable to reduced
sales forecasts. In the current fiscal year, we expect to reduce our headcount by approximately 9,500 through reductions in workforce, elimination of contractor positions and unreplaced attrition. The
costs of these reductions will be funded through cash from operations. As of the end of the third quarter, this headcount reduction of 9,500 positions had been substantially completed. Approximately
6,300 of these reductions were from employee terminations due to reductions in force, with the remainder resulting from elimination of contractor positions and attrition. These reductions have
impacted all business segments and geographic regions.

Facilities
consolidation costs represent lease termination costs and other costs associated with our decision to consolidate and close unproductive, duplicative or excess
manufacturing and office facilities.

Inventory
and committed sales contract related charges represent losses incurred to write down the carrying value of inventory and the direct costs of exiting and maintaining certain
committed sales contracts for product lines that have been discontinued. Revenues and gross margins from these product lines are not material to our consolidated operations.

The
write-down of fixed assets primarily relates to fixtures and equipment that will no longer be used as a result of the discontinuation of certain product lines. These
fixtures and equipment have been written down to their estimated realizable value. By centralizing certain key functional areas and exiting certain unprofitable product lines, we intend to increase
operating efficiencies and reduce operating expenses.

Committed
sales contractsadministrative represents the administrative expenses necessary to complete or negotiate settlements with respect to certain committed sales
contacts, which costs would

11

normally be classified as selling and administration expense. These costs are a direct result of our decision to exit certain product lines.

There
have been no material adjustments to these accruals as of July 31, 2001.

Impairment Charges:As a result of our intention to sell, harvest or exit non-strategic businesses and the
consolidation of unproductive and duplicate facilities, we evaluated the intangibles and long-lived assets associated with the non-strategic businesses for impairment in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets." We used estimates of undiscounted cash flows to evaluate
any possible impairment of long-lived assets and intangibles. As a result of this evaluation, we concluded that a significant impairment of intangibles as well as long-lived
assets had occurred. We used discounted cash flow models or estimated market values obtained from appropriate external sources to determine the fair value of the assets. In accordance with our
ordinary business practices, projected future cash flows were discounted at a rate corresponding to our estimated cost of capital, which is also the rate we use in evaluating our business investment
decisions and performance assessments. Because the estimated fair value was less than the carrying value of the assets, a non-cash impairment charge was required. Accordingly, we recorded
an impairment charge of $6.5 million ($4.1 million net of tax) and $408.0 million ($372.9 million net of tax) for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2001,
respectively. This charge consisted of goodwill write-downs associated with non-strategic businesses of $282.3 million ($278.0 million net of tax) for the nine months ended
July 31, 2001 and impairment of long-lived assets within our non-strategic businesses of $6.5 million ($4.1 million net of tax) and $125.7 million
($94.9 million net of tax) for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2001, respectively. The fair value of the non-strategic businesses is based on management estimates,
and actual impairment charges could vary significantly from these estimates.

Note 8 Income Tax:

During the quarter ended April 30, 2001, we made an election for U.S. tax purposes that gave rise to a $240.0 million deferred tax asset. This
election related to a business combination that was accounted for as a pooling of interests. Therefore, the recognition of this tax asset was recorded as an increase to paid-in capital.

Note 9 Divestitures:

During the third quarter of fiscal 2001, we completed the sale of certain cable assets to C-COR.net, a global provider of broadband technology and
services, for approximately $32 million inclusive of certain liabilities assumed by C-COR.net. Assets included in the sale include the Optiworx

12

---

family of transport products for hybrid fiber/coax applications and the DV 6000/6400 line of high quality, uncompressed digital video products. The sale includes operations in Meriden, Connecticut;
Buenos Aires, Argentina; and Klagenfurt, Austria. These assets generated annual net sales of approximately $168.6 million in fiscal 2000 and $81.4 million in net sales for the nine
months ended July 31, 2001. We plan to use the proceeds from this transaction primarily to retire any outstanding long-term debt and for general corporate purposes. As a result of
this divestiture, we recorded a gain on the sale of approximately $5.9 million ($3.7 million net of tax). The fair value of the net assets sold, as well as the related gain, was
partially based on some preliminary estimates and may be revised at a later date.

Note 10 Subsequent Events:

On September 1, 2001, we completed the sale of our Access Products Division and Broadband Wireless Group assets to Platinum Equity, LLC, a privately
held firm specializing in mission critical technology companies. The sale of these two units includes ATM access concentrators and multiplexers, service delivery units (ServicePoint), and data service
units/channel service units (DataSMART/FrameVision) as well as broadband wireless access systems (Axity) and broadcast television transmission systems. Also included in the sale are facilities located
in Portland, Oregon and McMurray, Pennsylvania. These assets generated annual net sales of approximately $228.8 million in fiscal 2000 and $106.3 million in net sales for the nine months
ended July 31, 2001. The terms of this transaction were not disclosed by the parties, and the value of the transaction was not material to us.

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

OVERVIEW

We are a leading global supplier of fiber optics, network equipment, software and integration services designed to improve the speed and performance of
broadband, multiservice communications networks. Telephone companies, cable television operators, Internet and data service providers, wireless service providers and other communications service
providers are building and upgrading the broadband network infrastructure required to offer high-speed Internet access as well as data, video, telephony and other interactive multimedia
services to consumers and businesses. Our product offerings and development efforts are focused on increasing the speed and efficiency of the last mile/kilometer portion of communications networks,
and our network equipment connects the service providers' offices to businesses and end users' homes as well as to wireless communications devices.

Our
customers include local and long-distance telephone companies, cable television operators, wireless service providers, new competitive service providers, broadcasters,
governments, businesses, system integrators, communications equipment manufacturers and distributors. We offer optical and copper connectivity systems/components, broadband access and network
equipment, software and integration services to our customers through the following two operating segments: (1) Broadband Infrastructure and Access; and (2) Integrated Solutions. In
April 2001, we announced the realignment of our business segments with our key strategic technologies as part of our initiative to focus on our core business operations and improve our
operating performance by restructuring and streamlining these operations. At that time, we formed the Broadband Infrastructure and Access segment by consolidating the former Broadband Connectivity and
Broadband Access and Transport segments. The Broadband Infrastructure and Access segment is focused primarily on optics, DSL, IP cable and broadband connectivity products. Integrated Solutions remains
focused on software and systems integration services.

Broadband
Infrastructure and Access products consist of connectivity devices that provide the physical contact points needed to connect different communications network elements and
gain access to communications system channels, as well as access and transport systems that enable broadband, multiservice delivery capabilities within service provider networks. Connectivity devices
assist in the installation, testing, monitoring, accessing, managing, reconfiguring, splitting and multiplexing such channels within service providers' serving offices and the last mile/kilometer
portion of communications networks. These products include broadband connection and access devices for copper, coaxial cable, optical, wireless and broadcast communications networks. These products
also include passive and
active optical components, as well as wireless components. Access and transport systems deliver broadband, multiservice communications to consumers and businesses over copper, coaxial cable, optical
and wireless networks. Broadband Infrastructure and Access products are used throughout the world in telephone, cable television, Internet and wireless communications networks to deliver Internet,
data, video and voice services to businesses and consumers.

Integrated
Solutions products and services consist of systems integration services, operations support systems (OSS) software and enhanced services software that aid service providers
in their delivery of broadband, multiservice communications over wireline and wireless networks. Systems integration services are used to design, equip and build communications networks and OSS
applications that deliver Internet, data, video and voice services to consumers and businesses. OSS software includes communications billing, customer care, service activation provisioning, network
performance and service-level assurance software used by service providers to operate communications networks. Enhanced services software includes a range of wireline, wireless and Internet
applications used by service providers to help increase revenues.

14

---

We believe that broadband, multiservice communications networks represent a key enabling capability for meeting the information needs of businesses and consumers around the world. The
rapid growth of the Internet has driven the need for broadband network infrastructure. We believe consumers increasingly find dial-up modem speeds unacceptable for current Internet and
Web-based applications. Further, we believe that new or future applications such as digital video and audio programs, wireless Internet access, video conferencing from personal computers,
video e-mail, video on demand, distance learning, telemedicine and high-speed imaging will drive even more people to use broadband communication services. We believe that the
global deregulation of communications markets is transforming traditional communications service providers into integrated communications providers. Traditional communications service providers offer
only a limited selection of Internet, data, video or voice services, each on a separate network connection and a separate customer bill. Integrated communications providers operate broadband,
multiservice networks that offer faster, cost-effective and integrated Internet, data, video and voice services over a single high-speed network connection while sending only
one bill for all of the services the customer uses. Due to deregulation, service providers now compete for customers by offering bundles of different communications services over
cost-effective networks. As a result of competition among communications service providers to obtain and retain customers with bundled services, we believe there is a large potential
global market for fiber optics, broadband access and network equipment, software and integration services to build and upgrade broadband, multiservice networks.

Our
recent operating results have been adversely affected by the recent downturn in general economic conditions, particularly in the communications industry. In this economic
environment, many of our communications service provider customers have deferred capital spending and reduced their telecommunications equipment purchases, and have announced plans to further reduce
capital expenditures in fiscal 2002. The effect of these developments has been most pronounced in the U.S. market. As a result of these economic conditions, we expect that our future net sales will
not grow at a rate experienced in previous periods. If the current economic conditions in the United States do not
improve, or if we experience a worsening global economic slowdown, we may continue to experience adverse effects on our business, operating results and financial condition.

Our
growth is dependent on our ability to successfully develop and commercially introduce new products in each of our operating segments and on the growth of the communications
equipment and services market. The communications equipment industry is highly competitive and, accordingly, there can be no assurance that our new or enhanced products and services will meet with
market acceptance or be profitable. The growth in the market for broadband communications products and services is dependent on a number of factors, including the availability of capital to
communications service providers and the amount of capital expenditures by communications service providers, and end-user demands for integrated Internet, data, video, voice and other
communications services.

Our
operating results may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter due to several factors, and results of operations described in this report may not be indicative of results
to be achieved in future periods. As a result of our growth in past periods, our fixed costs have increased substantially. With increased levels of spending and the impact of long-term
commitments, an inability to meet expected revenue levels in a particular quarter could have a material adverse impact on our operating results for that period because we may not be able to quickly
reduce these fixed expenses in response to short-term business changes. Our expense levels are based in part on our management's expectations of future revenues. Although management has
and will continue to take measures to adjust expense levels, if revenue levels in a particular period fluctuate, operating results may be affected adversely. We expect that gross margins may be
adversely affected by heightened price competition, increasing levels of service revenues as a percentage of total revenues, higher inventory balances, obsolescence and reserve charges, introduction
of new products for new high-growth markets, and changes in channels of

15

---

distribution or in the mix of products sold. In addition, if product or related warranty costs associated with our products are greater than we have experienced, our gross margin may be adversely
affected.

Our
results of operations are subject to seasonal factors. We historically have experienced a stronger demand for our products in the fourth fiscal quarter ending October 31,
primarily as a result of customer budget cycles and our fiscal year-end incentives, and have experienced a weaker demand for our products in the first fiscal quarter ending
January 31, primarily as a result of the number of holidays in late November, December and early January and a general industry slowdown during that period. There can be no assurance that these
historical seasonal trends will continue in the future. In fact, due to current economic conditions in the communications equipment and services market, we believe that it is likely that this
historical trend will not continue in fiscal 2001. A more detailed description of these risk factors, as well as other risk factors associated with our business can be found in
Exhibit 99-a to our Form 10-Q/A for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2001.

Based
on our plan to sell, harvest or exit non-strategic businesses to improve future profitability and strategic focus, we expect to record non-recurring
restructuring charges during the remainder of fiscal
2001 and into fiscal 2002 in amounts that have not yet been determined. These restructuring charges will adversely affect our operating results during this period.

NON-RECURRING AND OTHER RESTRUCTURING RELATED CHARGES

In connection with our initiative to focus our business on core operations and improve our operating performance by restructuring and streamlining operations,
we recorded a $33.9 million charge to earnings ($21.0 million net of tax) in the three months ended July 31, 2001. For the current fiscal year, these charges total
$227.8 million ($147.5 million net of tax) through July 31, 2001. An additional $2.1 million ($2.0 million net of tax) and $9.0 million ($7.2 million
net of tax) of acquisition costs were recorded for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2001, respectively. In addition, we also incurred $6.5 million ($4.1 million net of
tax) and $408.0 million ($372.9 million net of tax) in asset impairment write-downs related to the write-down of certain long-lived assets, including goodwill,
during the three and nine months ended July 31, 2001. Impairment losses for goodwill and other long-lived assets were based upon the write-down to their fair value,
which was estimated by external sources or by discounting expected future cash flows. In total, we recorded charges and write-downs of $42.5 million ($27.1 million net of tax) in the
third fiscal quarter and $644.8 million ($527.7 million net of tax) for the nine months ended July 31, 2001. The non-cash portion of these charges before tax was
$1.6 million and $479.4 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2001.

For
the three months ended July 31, 2001, restructuring costs primarily related to involuntary workforce reductions of $29.7 million for approximately 2,700 employees,
facility consolidations of $2.0 million, inventory and committed sales contract related charges of $0.4 million, fixed asset write-downs of $1.7 million, committed sales
contractsadministrative costs of $0.1 million and acquisition and related integration costs of $2.1 million. For the nine months ended July 31, 2001, restructuring
costs primarily related to involuntary workforce reduction of $72.9 million for approximately 6,300 employees, facility consolidations of $42.2 million, inventory and committed sales
contract related charges of $64.9 million, fixed asset write-downs of $19.0 million, committed sales contractsadministrative costs of $24.5 million, acquisition and
related integration costs of $9.0 million and other costs of $4.3 million. For the nine months ended July 31, 2001, the cash and non-cash portions of the restructuring
charges were $61.4 million and $43.2 million, respectively. Restructuring charges that had not been incurred were $132.2 million as of July 31, 2001. See Note 7 of
the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for a further discussion of these charges.

In
the current fiscal year, we expect to reduce our headcount by approximately 9,500 through reductions in workforce, elimination of contractor positions and unreplaced attrition.
Workforce reductions impact all of our business segments and geographic regions. The costs of these reductions

16

---

will be funded through cash from operations. As of the end of the third fiscal quarter, this headcount reduction of 9,500 positions had been substantially completed. Approximately 6,300 of these
reductions were from employee terminations due to reductions in force, with the remainder resulting from
elimination of contractor positions and attrition. For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2001, $13.5 million and $36.2 million, respectively, related to workforce
reductions was paid from cash from operations.

We
do not expect significant cash savings from the restructuring plan in the current fiscal year. The restructuring plan presently is expected to yield cash savings of approximately
$450.0 million annually, beginning in fiscal 2002. These savings, which are expected to be realized primarily in the form of lower manufacturing costs and operating expenses, largely relate to
reduced labor costs and more focused operations. We intend to continue our initiative to discontinue product lines, sell, harvest or exit non-strategic businesses and take aggressive
action to achieve more cost-efficient operations throughout the remainder of fiscal 2001. In addition, certain actions may not be completed until sometime in fiscal 2002. This initiative
is expected to result in additional restructuring expenses in amounts that have not yet been determined.

Net Sales:The following table sets forth our net sales for the quarters ended July 31, 2001 and 2000 for each
of our functional operating segments described above (in millions):

Net
sales for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2001 were $547.5 million and $2,011.2 million, respectively, reflecting a 38.6% and 10.8% decrease over the
comparable 2000 time periods. International revenues comprised approximately 28.5% and 26.8% of our sales for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2001 and 21.4% and 21.3% for the
comparable 2000 time periods.

During
the three and nine months ended July 31, 2001, net sales of Broadband Infrastructure and Access products declined by 47.3% and 18.8% over the comparable 2000 time
periods. The decrease in the third quarter of 2001 was substantially a result of lower sales for copper- and fiber- connectivity systems. Sales of most other products declined by smaller dollar
amounts and percentages. Broadband Infrastructure and Access sales represent approximately 73.9% and 77.1% of our net sales for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2001.

During
the three and nine months ended July 31, 2001, Integrated Solutions net sales increased by 15.9% and 33.9% over the comparable 2000 time periods. Both systems
integration services and software systems contributed to sales growth. Sales in systems integration services grew as a result of broadening our U.S. and European carrier and OEM customer base which
resulted in market share gains in the quarter. We also benefited from the expansion of our presence into Europe due to the acquisitions of systems integration businesses in the United Kingdom and
France during September 2000 and November 2000, respectively. Our sales growth in software systems resulted from the acquisitions of Centigram Communications, which was completed in
July 2000, and CommTech, which was completed in February 2001.

Gross Profit:During the three months ended July 31, 2001 and 2000, gross profit percentages were 32.5% and
50.3%, respectively. During the nine months ended July 31, 2001 and 2000, gross profit percentages were 30.4% and 48.3%, respectively. These decreases were primarily the result of approximately
$0.4 million and $64.9 million of inventory write-offs and other costs included in cost of product sold during the three and nine months ended July 31, 2001,
respectively, to exit certain sales contracts as a result of the restructuring plans we have announced (see Note 7 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements). In addition,
gross profit for the current fiscal year has been affected by increased charges for higher operating reserves, which were taken in response to current market conditions. We anticipate that our future
gross profit percentage will continue to be affected by many factors, including product mix, the timing of new product introductions and manufacturing volume.

Operating Expenses:Total operating expenses for the three months ended July 31, 2001 and 2000 were
$276.2 million and $386.7 million, respectively, representing 50.5% and 43.4% of net sales, respectively. Total operating expenses for the nine months ended July 31, 2001 and 2000
were $1,409.0 million and $853.1 million, respectively, representing 70.1% and 37.8% of net sales, respectively. Included in the three-month operating expenses are
non-recurring charges, restructuring

18

---

related charges, asset impairment charges and non-cash compensation charges of $46.6 million and $117.5 million for the three months ended July 31, 2001 and 2000,
respectively. Included in the nine-month operating expenses are non-recurring charges, restructuring related charges, asset impairment charges and non-cash
compensation charges of $594.2 million and $128.1 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The 2001 non-recurring charges represent
costs associated with initiatives to discontinue product lines that no longer fit our current focus and growth strategy as well as consolidating unproductive and duplicative facilities. Also included
are non-cash stock compensation charges associated with our acquisitions of Broadband Access Systems, Inc. and Centigram Communications Corporation, which were both completed during
fiscal year 2000. In addition, asset impairment charges are included as a result of evaluating certain long-lived assets, including goodwill. The 2000 non-recurring charges
represent costs associated with our acquisition of PairGain Technologies, Inc., and non-cash stock compensation charges associated with the acquisitions of Broadband Access Systems
and Centigram. Operating expenses, before non-recurring charges, restructuring related charges, asset impairment charges and non-cash compensation charges, for the three months
ended July 31, 2001 and 2000 were $229.6 million and $269.2 million, respectively, representing 41.9% and 30.2% of net sales, respectively (see Note 7 to the unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements). Operating expenses, before non-recurring charges, restructuring related charges, asset impairment charges and non-cash
compensation charges, for the nine months ended July 31, 2001 and 2000 were $814.8 million and $725.0 million, respectively, representing 40.5% and 32.1% of net sales,
respectively (see Note 7 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements). The increase in operating expenses as a percentage of net sales before non-recurring charges,
restructuring related charges, asset impairment charges and non-cash compensation charges was due primarily to charges to increase operating reserves that were recorded in response to
market conditions in fiscal 2001. The increased operating reserves relate primarily to additional bad debt reserves. The increase from the prior year period also reflects the ramp-up of
our operations in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2000 in response to increased sales demand at that time. Economic conditions have weakened since the last half of 2000, and, as a result, our
sales have declined. We are responding to the downturn in the market by implementing plans to reduce costs and streamline our operations. This initiative is anticipated to continue through fiscal 2001
and into fiscal 2002.

Research
and development expenses were $66.1 million for the three months ended July 31, 2001, representing a 21.4% decrease over $84.1 million for the three
months ended July 31, 2000. For the nine months ended July 31, 2001, research and development expenses were $229.0 million, representing a decrease of 5.4% over
$242.0 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2000. This decrease reflects our efforts to control expenses and carefully manage the rate of increase of expenses. However, we believe
that given the rapidly changing technology and competitive environment in the communications equipment industry, continued commitment to product development efforts will be required for us to remain
competitive. Accordingly, we intend to continue to allocate substantial resources to product development for each of our operating segments.

Selling
and administration expenses were $152.3 million for the three months ended July 31, 2001, representing a decrease of 14.1% over $177.2 million for the
three months ended July 31, 2000. For the nine months ended July 31, 2000, selling and administration expenses were $567.5 million, an increase of 22.5% over $463.2 million
for the nine months ended July 31, 2000. This increase reflects approximately $0.1 million and $27.7 million, respectively, in selling and administration expenses incurred to
complete certain non-cancelable sales contracts and to make certain contract cancellation payments to customers as a result of our decision to exit certain product lines. The increase from
the prior year periods also reflects the ramp-up of our operations in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2000 in response to the increased sales demand at that time period. Because
economic conditions have weakened and caused a
sales decline in fiscal 2001, we are taking steps to reduce costs and streamline our operations as discussed above.

Several of our acquisitions have been accounted for as purchase transactions in which the initial purchase price exceeded the fair value of the acquired assets. As a result of our
acquisition activity, goodwill amortization increased to $11.3 million in the three months ended July 31, 2001, compared to $7.9 million in the three months ended July 31,
2000. Goodwill amortization for the nine months ended July 31, 2001 increased to $46.0 million from $19.8 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2000.

Other Income (Expense), Net:For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2001 and 2000, the net interest income
(expense) category represented net interest (expense) income on cash and cash equivalents as well as debt. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below for a discussion of cash levels.

Other
expense primarily represents the gain or loss on foreign exchange transactions, the sale of fixed assets and our share of the net operating results of our investments in other
companies accounted for under the equity method.

On
February 22, 2001, Siemens and Efficient Networks entered into a definitive merger agreement. Pursuant to the merger agreement, Siemens purchased all of the outstanding
shares of Efficient Networks for $23.50 in cash per share. As a result of the merger, we recorded a gain of approximately $34.0 million ($21.0 million net of tax) from the sale of
approximately 1.8 million shares Efficient Networks owned by us in the second quarter of fiscal 2001. This gain, along with the gains described in the following three paragraphs, was recorded
as an offset to the loss on the write-down of our marketable equity securities portfolio.

On
July 19, 2001, America Online, Inc. acquired InfoInterActive, Inc. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, AOL acquired all of the outstanding shares of
InfoInterActive for $1.42 in cash per share. As a result of the acquisition, we recorded a gain of approximately $2.1 million ($1.3 million net of tax) from the sale of approximately
1.5 million shares of InfoInterActive owned by us in the three months ended July 31, 2001.

In
the third quarter of fiscal 2001, we sold 3.4 million shares of our investment in Redback Networks and 1.6 million shares of our investment in ONI Systems. Prior to
sale, these shares had a cost basis of $62.8 million and $1.4 million, respectively. On the sale of the Redback Networks shares, we recognized a $44.6 million loss
($28.1 million net of tax), and on the sale of the ONI Systems shares, we recognized a $29.6 million gain ($18.6 million net of tax).

In
addition, in the third quarter of fiscal 2001, we entered into cashless collar arrangements to minimize the impact of a potential decrease in the market value of portions of our
remaining investment in Redback Networks and ONI Systems. During the quarter, these arrangements were terminated when we sold a portion of the underlying investments during the quarter. As a result,
we recognized a gain of $55.2 million ($34.8 million net of tax) upon the sale of these collars.

In
accordance with our policy to review our investment portfolio for declines that may be other than temporary, we recorded a $26.7 million ($16.8 million net of tax)
and $814.8 million ($513.3 million net of tax) non-cash loss on a lower-of-cost-or-market write-down on various
equity investments in the portfolio of marketable equity securities during the three and nine months ended July 31, 2001. We made this write-down as a result of the downturn and
current market conditions in the technology and telecommunication sectors of the market.

During
the third quarter of fiscal 2001, we completed the sale of certain cable assets to C-COR.net, a global provider of broadband technology and services, for
approximately $32 million inclusive of certain liabilities assumed by C-COR.net. Assets included in the sale include the Optiworx family of transport products for hybrid fiber/coax
applications and the DV 6000/6400 line of high quality, uncompressed digital video products. The sale includes operations in Meriden, Connecticut; Buenos Aires, Argentina; and Klagenfurt, Austria.
These assets generated annual net sales of approximately $168.6 million in fiscal 2000 and $81.4 million in net sales for the nine months ended July 31, 2001. We plan to use the
proceeds from this transaction primarily to retire any outstanding

20

---

long-term debt and for general corporate purposes. As a result of the divestiture, we recorded a gain on the sale of approximately $5.9 million ($3.7 million net of tax). The
fair value of the net assets sold, as well as the related gain, was partially based on some preliminary estimates and may be revised at a later date.

Income Taxes:The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended July 31, 2001 and 2000 was affected
significantly by higher marginal tax rates applied to restructuring expenses. Excluding the impact of the higher rates used for the restructuring charges, the effective income tax rate was 34% for the
three and nine months ended July 31, 2001 and 2000. During fiscal 2001, we made an election for U.S. tax purposes that gave rise to a $240.0 million deferred tax asset. This election
related to a business combination that was accounted for as a pooling of interests. Therefore, the recognition of this tax asset was recorded as an increase to paid-in capital.

Net Loss:Net loss was $58.1 million (or $0.07 per diluted share) for the three months ended July 31,
2001, compared to net income of $9.6 million (or $0.01 per diluted share) for the three months ended July 31, 2000. Net loss was $1,110.8 million (or $1.41 per diluted share) for
the nine months ended July 31, 2001, compared to net income of $780.9 million (or $1.04 per diluted share) for the nine months
ended July 31, 2000. Excluding the non-recurring charges, restructuring related charges, asset and investment impairment charges, non-cash compensation charges and gains
on the sale of investments and a business unit of $17.6 million and $1,006.9 million, respectively, net of tax, net loss for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2001 was
$40.5 million (or $0.05 per diluted share) and $103.9 million (or $0.13 per diluted share), respectively. On the same basis, net income for the three and nine months ended
July 31, 2000 was $120.4 million (or $0.16 per diluted share) and $246.4 million (or $0.33 per diluted share), respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and cash equivalents, primarily short-term investments in commercial paper with maturities of less than 90 days and other
short-term investments, decreased $72.3 million and $67.9 million during the nine months ended July 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The major elements of the 2001
change included $48.7 million used for acquisitions and $220.2 million in property and equipment additions. These decreases were partially offset by $12.1 million provided by
operations, $23.6 million in net proceeds from divestitures, and $163.1 million provided by the sale of various long-term and short-term investments. The major elements of
the 2000 change included $314.1 million used for acquisitions and $230.4 million used for property and equipment additions. These amounts were partially offset by $61.6 million
provided by operations, $200.7 million from issuance of common stock to employees pursuant to our stock option and employee stock purchase plans, $185.2 million provided by the sale of
various investments and $32.2 million from an increase in indebtedness.

We
believe that current cash on hand, cash generated from operating activities, cash from investments, and available credit facilities should be adequate to fund our working capital
requirements, planned capital expenditures and restructuring costs for the duration of fiscal 2001. However, we still may find it necessary or desirable to seek other sources of financing to support
our capital needs and provide available funds for working capital, potential investments or acquisitions or other purposes. Substantially all remaining cash expenditures relating to workforce
reductions and terminations of $36.7 million at July 31, 2001 are expected to be incurred by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001. Restructuring costs resulting from the
consolidation of facilities in the amount of $37.9 million at July 31, 2001 will be incurred over the respective lease terms of the facilities ending through 2006.

At
July 31, 2001, we had approximately $5.4 million of debt outstanding. We have a $340.0 million revolving credit facility that is available for general
corporate purposes, none of which was outstanding as of July 31, 2001. The loan agreement for this credit facility and certain long-term lease agreements to which we are a party
contain financial covenants with which we must comply. These covenants

21

---

require that we maintain minimum net worth and EBITDA to indebtedness and EBITDA to interest expense ratios. Compliance with these ratios is determined on a rolling 12-month basis as of
the end of each fiscal quarter. We are currently in compliance with these financial covenants.

We
own common stock in several publicly held companies. We record our investment in these companies at their market value. As of July 31, 2001, the market value of our
marketable equity securities available for sale was approximately $128.1 million.

During
the three and nine months ended July 31, 2001, we invested $0.8 million and $7.6 million from our previously announced $100 million venture capital
fund, respectively. Our venture capital fund is focused on investing in emerging and start-up companies throughout the world that are engaged in developing high-performance
broadband communication technologies. As of July 31, 2001, approximately $42.0 million had been invested through this fund. These investments are stated at cost (subject to periodic
review for impairment) until such time as a public market develops for such investments, at which time they are stated at market value with the aggregate valuation adjustments classified in
shareowners' investment.

We
have worked with customers and third-party financiers to find a means of financing projects by negotiating financing arrangements. As of July 31, 2001, we had commitments to
extend credit of approximately $203.0 million for such arrangements. The total amount drawn and outstanding under the commitments as of July 31, 2001 was approximately
$69.0 million. We intend to sell all or a portion of these commitments and outstanding receivables to third parties, but have not yet made any such sales. These commitments to extend credit are
conditional agreements generally having fixed expiration or termination dates and specific interest rates, conditions and purposes. These commitments may exist and expire without being drawn.
Therefore, the amounts committed but not drawn will not necessarily impact future cash flows. We regularly review all outstanding commitments, and the results of these reviews are considered in
assessing the overall risk for possible credit losses. At July 31, 2001, we consider reserves for losses in the event of non-performance related to these financing arrangements to
be adequate.

Euro Conversion

On January 1, 1999, several member countries of the European Union established fixed conversion rates and adopted the Euro as their new common legal
currency. Beginning on this date, the Euro began trading on currency exchanges, while the legacy currencies remain legal tender in the participating countries for a transition period between
January 1, 1999 and January 1, 2002. During this transition period, parties can elect to pay for goods and services and transact business using either the Euro or a legacy currency.
Between January 1, 2002 and July 1, 2002, the participating countries will introduce Euro hard currency and withdraw all legacy currencies.

The
Euro conversion may affect cross-border competition by creating cross-border price transparency. We are assessing our pricing and marketing strategy in order to ensure that we
remain competitive in a broader European market. We also are modifying our information technology systems to permit transactions to take place in both the legacy currencies and the Euro and provide
for the eventual elimination of the legacy currencies. In addition, we are reviewing whether certain existing contracts will need to be modified. Our currency risks and risk management for operations
in participating
countries may be reduced as the legacy currencies are converted to the Euro. We will continue to evaluate issues involving the introduction of the Euro. Based on current information and assessments,
we do not expect that the Euro conversion will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Cautionary Statement for Purposes of the "Safe Harbor" Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

The foregoing Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains various "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements represent our
expectations or beliefs concerning future events, including the following: any statements regarding future sales, profit percentages, earnings per share and other results of operations; any statements
regarding the continuation of historical trends; any statements regarding the sufficiency of our cash balances and cash generated from operating and financing activities for our future liquidity and
capital resource needs; any statements regarding the effect of regulatory changes; and any statements regarding the economy in general or the future of the communications equipment industry and
communications services on our business. We caution that any forward-looking statements made by us in this report or in other announcements made by us are further qualified by important factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These include, without limitation, overall demand for our products and services; the demand for particular
products or services within the overall mix of products sold, as our products and services have varying profit margins; changing market conditions and growth rates within our industry or generally
within the economy; volatility in the stock market, which may affect the value of our stock or the stock we own in other publicly-held companies in the communications industry; new
competition and technologies; increased costs associated with protecting intellectual property rights; availability of materials to make products; the impact of customer financing activities; our
ability to successfully integrate the operations of acquired companies with our historic operations; our ability to successfully complete our restructuring initiative and streamline our operations;
retention of key employees; fluctuations in our operating results; pressures on the pricing of the products and services we offer; and other risks and uncertainties, including those identified in
Exhibit 99-a to our Form 10-Q/A for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2001. We disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-
looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign exchange rates. To mitigate the risk from these exposures, we have instituted a balance sheet hedging
program. The objective of this program is to protect our net monetary assets and liabilities from fluctuations due to movements in foreign exchange rates. This program operates in markets where
hedging costs are beneficial. We attempt to minimize exposure to currencies in which hedging instruments are unavailable or prohibitively expensive by
managing our operating activities and net asset positions. The majority of hedging instruments utilized are forward contracts with maturities of less than one year. Foreign exchange contracts reduce
our overall exposure to exchange rate movements, since gains and losses on these contracts offset losses and gains on the underlying exposure. Our hedging program prohibits the use of derivative
financial instruments for trading and other speculative purposes.

As
described in Liquidity and Capital Resources as well as Note 4 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we own common stock in several publicly held
companies in the communications or technology industries. Due to material changes in the fair value of such common stock, we have recorded a $73.2 million unrealized gain, $46.1 million
net of income tax effects, in shareowners' investment as of July 31, 2001. Assuming an immediate decrease of 20% and 50% in the portfolio stock price from the closing price on July 31,
2001, the hypothetical reduction in shareowners' investment related to these holdings is estimated to be $15.2 million and $38.0 million, respectively (net of income tax effects), or
0.8% and 1.9%, respectively, of total shareowners' investment at July 31, 2001. As of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2001, we had entered into cashless collar

arrangements to minimize the impact of a potential decrease in the market value of our entire investment in GlobeSpan and ONI Systems, thereby reducing the market risk with respect to these
investments. These investments have a cost basis of approximately $37.4 million. The ONI Systems collar provides us with a floor value of approximately $82.3 million if held to maturity
while allowing us to participate in up to approximately $109.0 million in further appreciation above the floor value. The GlobeSpan collar provides us with an aggregate floor value of
approximately $35.3 million if held to maturity with no opportunity to participate in further appreciation above the floor value. These collars limit our exposure to, and benefits from, price
fluctuations in the underlying GlobeSpan and ONI Systems stock. The collars are designated as cash flow hedges of the underlying stock; therefore, all changes in the market value of the collars and
the underlying stock are included as a component of comprehensive income and are reflected in shareowners' investment. As of July 31, 2001, the market value of these collar arrangements was
$18.1 million.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are a defendant in various suits, claims, proceedings and investigations arising in the ordinary course of business. At this time, we cannot determine our
total aggregate amount of monetary liability or the financial impact of these matters. Therefore, we do not know whether these actions, suits, claims, proceedings and investigations will, individually
or collectively, have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. We intend to vigorously defend these actions, suits, claims, proceedings and
investigations.
