Options are not included in the 1998 calculations of diluted loss
 per share due to their antidilutive effect.

In June, 1999 Paradyne Networks, Inc. filed an amendment to its
Certificate of Incorporation providing that effective upon the
Initial Public Offering every two outstanding shares of the
Companys common stock shall be combined into one share of
common stock. The amendment provided that the Company has
60,000,000 authorized common shares at a par value of $.001. All
earnings per share data has been adjusted to reflect this reverse
 split.

4.  Stock Option Plan

During the third quarter of 1999, one executive of the Company
issued a promissory note for $166,000 to the Company in
connection with the purchase of 37,500 shares of common stock.
The principal balance of the note and the related accrued
interest at 5.67% are payable at the earlier of the termination
of employment or five years from the date of the note. The full
recourse note is held in escrow by the Company. All unvested
shares purchased with the notes are subject to repurchase by the
Company if the respective executive or key employee terminates
their employment before becoming fully vested. The balance of all
 notes receivable in connection with the purchase of common stock
 as of September 30, 1999 was $1.3 million plus accrued
interest.

On July 15, 1999 (IPO date) employee stock options to
acquire 77,922 shares of Company stock which vested only as a
result of the IPO were outstanding at a weighted average price of
 $2.38. These stock options were considered to be part of a
variable plan because the number of stock options vested only at
the time of the IPO (it could have been zero absent an IPO).
Accordingly, the Company recorded compensation of approximately
$1.1 million related to these stock options (included in
amortization of deferred stock compensation) that vested upon
completion of the IPO. Additionally, amortization of deferred
stock compensation of $.2 million was also recorded during the
quarter.

|Item 2: | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
        CONDITION AND 
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and other sections of this
Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties. All statements regarding future
events, our future financial performance and operating results,
our business strategy and our financing plans are forward-looking
 statements. In many cases, you can identify forward-looking
statements by terminology, such as may,
will, should, expects,
intends, plans, anticipates,
believes, estimates,
predicts, potential, or
continue, or the negative of such terms and other
comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions.
Known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors could
cause our actual results to differ materially from those
projected in the forward-looking statements.

Overview

We are a leading developer, manufacturer and distributor of
broadband and narrowband network access products for network
service providers (NSPs) and business customers. We
offer solutions that enable business class, service level
managed, high-speed connectivity over the existing telephone
network infrastructure and provide for cost-effective access
speeds of up to 45 MBPS. We market and sell our products
worldwide to NSPs and business customers through a multi-tier
distribution system that includes direct sales, strategic partner
 sales, NSP sales and traditional distributor or value added
reseller (VAR) sales. We estimate that direct and
indirect sales to, and services performed for Lucent accounted
for approximately 29% of our total revenues for the first nine
months of 1999. Sales to Rhythms, an NSP, accounted for
approximately 28% of our total revenue during the nine months of
1999. A loss or a significant reduction or delay in sales to any
of our major customers could materially and adversely affect our
business, financial condition and results of operations.

We generally recognize revenue from equipment sales upon
shipment. Estimated sales returns based on historical experience
by product are recorded at the time the product revenue is
recognized. Charges for warranty work are included in cost of
equipment sales. Revenue from services, which consists mainly of
repair of out-of-warranty products, is recognized when the
services are performed and all substantial contractual
obligations have been satisfied. License and royalty revenues are
 recognized when the Company has completed delivery of technical
specifications and performed substantially all required services
under the related agreement.

| | Three Months Ended September 30, 1999 Compared to Three
        months Ended September 30, 1998

Revenues.Total revenues increased $6.4 million, or 12.4%
to $57.7 million for the three months ended September 30,
1999 from $51.4 million for the same period in 1998. The increase
 was primarily due to an increase in the volume of sales of our
broadband access products. As a percentage of total revenues,
equipment sales were 98.3% of total revenues for the three months
 ended September 30, 1999 compared to 97.2% for the three
months ended September 30, 1998. The change in percentage is
 mostly due to a net decrease in royalty revenues.

Gross Margin. Gross margin increased $3.7 million or 16.4%
 to $26.2 million for the three months ended September 30,
1999 from $22.5 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1998. Most of the increase results from
increased sales of our broadband access products. Gross margin
for equipment sales increased $4.2 million reflecting increased
sales of Broadband products. Gross margin as a percentage of
total revenues increased to 45.3% in 1999 from 43.7% in 1998
primarily because of increased shipments of higher margin product
 within the Broadband product family, in addition to cost
reductions.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and
development expenses increased $ .2 million, or 2.3%, to $9.1
million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 from
$8.9 million in 1998. As a percentage of total revenues, research
 and development expense decreased to 15.7% for the three months
ended September 30,1999 from 17.3% in the same period of 1998.
This decrease is primarily attributable to the 12.4% increase in
revenue during the period.

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A)
Expenses. SG&A expenses increased $.3 million, or 2.4%,
to $13.9 million in the three months ended September 30,
1999 from $13.6 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1998. SG&A expense as a percentage of
revenue declined from 26.5% for the three months ended
September 30, 1998 to 24.1% for the three months ended
September 30, 1999. This decrease resulted due to the 12.4%
increase in revenue during the period.

Amortization of Deferred Stock Compensation.The $1.3
million deferred stock compensation amount was due to both the
vesting of stock options as a result of the Initial Public
Offering on July 15,1999 ($1.1 million) which subjected the
stock options to variable plan accounting, and the amortization
of deferred stock compensation over the vesting period of the
options, generally four years ($.2 million). Amortization of
deferred stock compensation is related to the previous granting
of stock options to key employees at prices deemed to be below
fair market value for financial reporting purposes.

Interest and Other (Income) Expense, Net. Interest and
other (income) expense, net, increased by $.8 million to $.5
million of income for the three months ended September 30, 1999,
from $.3 million of expense for the same period in 1998. Interest
 and other (income) expense, net, is related to interest on
notes payable and borrowings under lines of credit, interest on
short term investments and foreign exchange gains and losses.
This increase in income was primarily attributable to earnings
from the investment of proceeds from the initial public offering
and the retirement of debt using IPO proceeds during the third
quarter of 1999 .

Provision (Benefit) For Income Taxes. Provision
(benefit) for income taxes increased by $.7M to $.6M of
provision for the three months ended September 30, 1999,
from $.1M of benefit for the same period in 1998. The anticipated
 effective tax rate for the year was adjusted during the quarter,
 principally due to the availability of research tax credits,
resulting in a reduced quarterly tax rate of 22.8%. Our secondary
 offering during the quarter reduced Texas Pacific Groups
ownership below 50%, allowing us to take advantage of a tax
credit for increased research spending.

| | Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 Compared to Nine
	Months Ended September 30, 1998

Revenues.Total revenues increased $23.9 million, or 17.0%
 to $164.6 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 from $140.6 million for the same period in 1998. The
increase was primarily due to an increase in the volume of sales
of our broadband access products. As a percentage of total
revenues, equipment sales were 97.1% of total revenues for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to 98.0% for
the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The percentage
decrease is mostly due to a $1.7 million increase in royalty
income in 1999 which includes a one-time royalty fee from
Globespan related to termination of an existing agreement, and a
one-time license fee from a third party for intellectual property
 relating to narrowband technology.

Gross Margin. Gross margin increased $ 7.3 million or
11.0% to $72.9 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 from $65.7 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998. Most of the increase results from
increased sales of our broadband access products and a $1.7
million increase in royalty revenues. Gross margin for equipment
sales increased $5.4 million reflecting increased sales in 1999
over 1998 levels. Gross margin as a percentage of total revenues
decreased to 44.3% in 1999 from 46.7% in 1998 reflecting sales
earlier in 1999 at lower margin percentages due to the
competitive pricing of newly introduced products.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and
development expenses increased $.8 million, or 2.9%, to $26.9
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from
$26.1 million for the first nine months of 1998. This increase
was primarily attributable to a $.6 million increase in
professional and contractor fees and $.2 million in engineering
supplies and equipment used in the development of prototypes. As
a percentage of total revenues, research and development expense
decreased to 16.3% for the first nine months of 1999 from 18.6%
in the first nine months of 1998. This decrease is primarily
attributable to the 17.0% increase in revenue during the period.

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A)
Expenses. SG&A expenses decreased $.1 million, or less
than 1%, to $41.6 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 from $41.7 million for the nine

Amortization of Deferred Stock Compensation.The $1.4
million deferred stock compensation amount was due to both the
vesting of stock options as a result of the Initial Public
Offering on July 15, 1999 ($1.1 million) which subjected the
 stock options to variable accounting, and the amortization of
deferred stock compensation over the vesting period of the
options, generally four years ($.3 million). Amortization of
deferred stock compensation is related to the previous granting
of stock options to key employees at prices deemed to be below
fair market value for financial reporting purposes.

Interest and Other (Income) Expense, Net. Interest and
other (income) expense, net, increased by $3.7 million to
$2.4 million of income for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, from $1.4 million of expense for the
same period in 1998. Interest and other (income) expense,
net, is related to interest expense on notes payable and
borrowings under lines of credit, interest income on short term
investments, gains and losses on capital equity investments and
foreign exchange gains and losses. The increase in other income
was primarily attributable to the receipt by Paradyne of
approximately $3.0 million of income from the sale of patents.
Net interest expense also decreased by $1.1 million due to a
reduction in the debt related to Lucent and Communication
Partners, L.P. and the earnings from the investments of proceeds
from the initial public offering which was offset by a $.2M
increase in foreign exchange losses.

Provision (Benefit) For Income Taxes. Provision
(benefit) for income taxes increased by $2.6M to $1.8M of
provision for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, from $.9M
 of benefit for the same period in 1998. The tax rate was
adjusted to an estimated effective annual rate of 33% for the
period principally due to the availability of research tax
credits. Our secondary offering during the quarter reduced Texas
Pacific Groups ownership below 50%, allowing the Company to
 take advantage of the tax benefit for increased research
spending.

Liquidity and Capital Resources for the Nine Months ended
September 30, 1999

Cash provided by operations for the nine months ended
September 30,1999 totaled $12.1 million and resulted
primarily from net income which, after adjusting for non-cash
impacting items such as depreciation and amortization and
provisions for bad debts, totaled $10.0 million. A major
contributor to this net income was the net proceeds from a
license of intellectual property related to modem technology and
sale of patents totaling $4.3 million. Also contributing to cash
provided by operations was a reduction in receivables amounting
to $7.8 million. Strong collections of trade receivables
accounted for $7.3 million of the reduction. Decreases to cash
from operating activities partially offsetting the above
contributions included a $3.8 million reduction in accounts
payable resulting primarily from timing of OEM shipments as well
as a $2.2 million increase in inventories in anticipation of
heavy customer demand in the early fourth quarter.

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 totaled $3.5 million and reflects capital
 expenditures made in support of operations. The company
anticipates that capital requirements for the remainder of the
year will be in the $1.5 million to $3.0 million per quarter
range.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 totaled $49.7 million. Proceeds net of
underwriting fees from our July 1999 initial public offering
totaled $63.2 million. Additionally, proceeds from the exercise
of stock options totaled $3.1 million. The net cash provided by
financing activities was offset in part by the debt repayments on
 our Bank of America NT&SA revolving credit facility of $16.1
 million. Net borrowings were not required to fund operations and
 capital expenditures in the period. A portion of the proceeds
from the July 1999 initial public offering was used to pay down
the Bank of America NT&SA revolving credit facility.

The Company had $61.1 million of cash and cash equivalents at
September 30, 1999 representing an increase of $58.7 million
 from $2.4 million at December 31, 1998. Working capital
increased $72.4 million from $8.4 million at December 31, 1998 to
 $80.8 million at September 30, 1999.

On July 15, 1999, the Company raised $63.2 million in an
initial public offering. The Company believes that
the proceeds
from the initial public offering, together with the cash flows
from operations and borrowings

Year 2000 Issues

Background:Some computers, software and other equipment
include programming code in which calendar year data is
abbreviated to only two digits (e.g., 99) rather than four digits
 (e.g., 1999). As a result, these systems automatically assume
that the first two digits of a calendar year are 1
and 9. Therefore, time-sensitive functions of these
systems may misinterpret dates after January 1, 2000, to
refer to the twentieth century rather than the twenty-first
century (i.e., 02 could be interpreted as
1902 rather than 2002). The problems
associated with this design decision are commonly referred to as
the Millennium Bug, Year 2000 problem or
Y2K problem.

Assessment:In 1996 we identified the Year 2000 problem as
 a potential risk to our operations. As a result, we developed a
comprehensive multi-year plan to make our internal computer
software and hardware systems Year 2000 compliant. Our Year 2000
compliance plan is comprised of 3 phases: an assessment phase; an
 implementation phase; and a testing phase. This plan, initiated
in the first quarter of fiscal 1997, is in the final stages of
implementation. While we believe that we have implemented a
comprehensive plan for addressing the Year 2000 problem and
anticipate completing our compliance activities in a timely
manner, we cannot be certain that these Year 2000 compliance
efforts will be successful. The financial impact of making the
required systems changes cannot be known precisely at this time,
but we currently expect these expenses to be less than
approximately $4.0 million. The financial impact, could, however,
 exceed this estimate. Nonetheless, these costs are not expected
to be material to our business, financial condition, or results
of operation. To date, we have incurred expenses of approximately
 $3.8 million.

Internal Infrastructure:We believe that we have
identified all of the major computer hardware, software
applications and other calendar year dependent equipment used in
connection with our internal operations. Our Year 2000 compliance
 plan addresses items that must be modified, upgraded, or
replaced in order to minimize the possibility of a material
disruption of our business. We have replaced our accounting,
sales, distribution and manufacturing systems with what we
believe to be a Year 2000 compliant enterprise resource planning
system. We have replaced our human resource and payroll systems
application software with what we believe to be Year 2000
compliant software, and we have replaced our internal phone
system and associated equipment with what we believe to be a Year
 2000 compliant system. To date, we have modified, upgraded and
replaced, as appropriate, other computer software applications,
hardware, and equipment that could potentially be adversely
affected by the Year 2000 problem. Monthly updates on Year 2000
activities are made available to all employees. We have
substantially completed the implementation phase as of the end of
 the third quarter of 1999. The fourth quarter of 1999 has been
reserved for final testing of all of our systems for compliance.

Network Service Providers:Our ongoing operations are
dependent on the uninterrupted service provided to us by our
voice (landline and wireless), data and Internet service vendors.
 We have initiated communications with our various service
providers and have received assurance that they have or will
address Year 2000 compliance issues associated with their ability
 to provide uninterrupted service. Any failure of these vendors
to resolve any outstanding Year 2000 issues in a timely manner
could materially and adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operation.

Distributors and Suppliers:We have initiated
communications with our key distributors, service support
providers and suppliers to establish the status of their Year
2000 compliance. We have communicated with
our major suppliers of
 minicomputers, servers, computers, software and other equipment
used, operated
or maintained by us to identify and, to the extent
 possible, resolve issues associated with the Year 2000
problem.
We are also gathering Year 2000 compliance information from web
sites and other public sources
for our second and third-tier
distributors and suppliers. We believe that we have identified
all of the potential
Year 2000
problems with respect to these
distributors, service support providers and suppliers and have
receivedtheir commitment to resolve any outstanding issues in a
timely manner. However, any failure on our partto identify
potential third party Year 2000 problems or any failure of these
parties to resolve any outstanding

##### Table of Contents





As we must rely to a large extent on representations made by our
suppliers and distributors from surveys and questionnaires, a
failure by these parties to adequately address and resolve Year
2000 problems poses the most likely unresolved Year 2000 risk to
us. In the event our suppliers are unable to adequately address
Year 2000 problems, such inability could disrupt their supply of
critical components to us for the manufacture of our products.

Contingency Plans:Since we cannot be certain that we have
 found and corrected every Y2K issue, contingency plans have been
 developed which include equipment backups and reserves, manual
workarounds, and skilled programmers ready to respond to issues
as they arise. Any or all of these resources can be deployed
quickly in the event of a system outage. We do not anticipate
that these plans, if implemented, will materially or adversely
affect our business, financial condition or results of operation.

The discussion of our efforts and expectations relating to Year
2000 compliance are forward-looking statements. Our ability to
achieve Year 2000 compliance and the level of incremental costs
associated with achieving this compliance could be adversely
impacted by, among other things, the availability and cost of
programming and testing resources, the ability of parties with
whom we interact to resolve Year 2000 issues and unanticipated
problems identified in our ongoing compliance review.

Inflation

Because of the relatively low levels of inflation experienced in
1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999 to date, inflation did not have a
significant effect on our results in such periods.

Risk Factors Which May Impact Future Operating Results

Factors that are likely to affect our results of operations in
the future include the following:

Rapid Technological Change Could Render Our
Products Obsolete

The telecommunications and data communications markets are
characterized by rapid technological change. Our success will
depend on our ability to adapt and to respond to technological
changes. If we fail to keep pace with technological change, our
product sales could suffer.

Our existing products could become obsolete or unmarketable as a
result of the emergence of new industry standards or customer
demands. For example, our customers could determine that they no
longer require service level management, or SLM, with network
access products. Furthermore, our products could become obsolete
or unmarketable as a result of any new technology or products
which are superior to ours. We may be unable to compete
effectively if we are unable to adapt to changes in industry
standards, meet customer demands or develop new products or
enhancements to existing products.

Our products compete with numerous high-speed access
technologies, including cable modems, satellite technology and
other wireless technologies. These competing technologies may
ultimately prove to be superior to our products. Our products may
 become uncompetitive or obsolete as a result of the development
of competing technologies that are more reliable, faster and less
 expensive than our technology. For example, substantially all of
 our products are deployed in networks that use standard copper
telephone wires. The physical properties of copper wire limit the
 speed and distance over which data can be transmitted. Service
levels degrade as distance from the central switching station
increases. Other competing technologies, such as wireless and
cable are not subject to such limitations.

Our Success Will Depend On The Acceptance Of New
 Telecommunications Services Based On DSL

Our future success is substantially dependent upon whether DSL
technology gains widespread market acceptance by network service
providers, or NSPs, and end users of their services. If DSL
technology fails to gain widespread acceptance, our revenues and
results of operations may be adversely affected. Historically, we

| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | We Are Substantially Dependent On Network Service Providers,
	Who May Reduce Or 
	 Discontinue Their Purchase Of Products Or Services At Any Time

We estimate that sales to NSPs accounted for approximately 40% of
 our total revenues in 1998. If our NSP customers are forced to
defer or curtail their capital spending programs, we could lose,
or experience delays or reductions in significant sales to such
customers. Given the capital requirements, complex regulatory
framework and other barriers to entry in the market, there are a
limited number of NSPs. The market for many of the services
provided by NSPs has only begun to emerge since the passage of
the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and many NSPs are still
building their infrastructure and rolling out their services.
Many of these NSPs still need to develop, construct and expand
their networks. The inability of our emerging NSP customers to
complete development of their networks, attract or retain
customers, respond to trends, such as price reductions for their
services or diminished demand for telecommunications services
generally, could cause them to reduce their capital spending
programs.

Generally, our NSP customers do not have an obligation to
purchase additional products or services from us. Termination of
purchase arrangements with these NSP customers or a significant
reduction or delay in the amount of our products they order could
 materially and adversely affect our revenues. In addition, the
telecommunications industry has recently experienced
consolidation, which may cause us to lose NSP customers. The loss
 of one or more of our NSP customers could also materially and
adversely affect our revenues.

| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | Our Success Depends On Network Service Providers Incorporating
	 Our Products 
	 Into Their Infrastructure

We anticipate that a significant portion of our future revenues
will be attributable to sales to NSPs of our DSL, SLM and other
broadband products. Our future performance will therefore be
substantially dependent on incorporation of our products by NSPs
into their service offerings to subscribers. The failure of our
products to become an accepted part of NSPs service
offerings or a slower than expected increase in the volume of
sales by us of SLM products could materially and adversely affect
 our revenues. Our success in the NSP market will depend on
numerous factors, many of which are outside our control. Some of
these factors include:

	products are deployed and our ability to demonstrate these
	operational benefits;

| |  | the timing and successful completion of integration development
	work by NSPs to incorporate our SLM functionality into their
	operational support system; and

Various Factors Could Cause Our Results To
Fluctuate

Paradynes quarterly and annual results of operations have
fluctuated in the past and are likely to fluctuate significantly
in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which are
outside of our control. Fluctuations in our results could cause
our stock price to decline substantially. Some of these factors
that might affect our results of operations include:



| |   |

	orders for our products and services to existing and new
	customers. This may adversely affect our operating results in
	 any particular quarter if we were unable to recognize revenue
	for a particular sale in the quarter in which such sale was
	expected.                                                                                                                                                                                                   
|
| |  | Our ability to develop, introduce, ship and support new
	products and product enhancements and manage product transitions
	on a timely basis. Our failure to accomplish these tasks
	could render our products obsolete or non-competitive,
	particularly since technology in our industry changes often. As a
	 result, customers may decide to purchase competitive products,
	which could cause our revenues to suffer.                                                                                                      
|
| |  | Announcements, new product introductions and reductions in
	price of products offered by our competitors. These events
	could also cause our customers to decide to purchase the products
	 of our competitors which would adversely affect our revenues
	and, therefore, our results of operations. Also, we may feel it
	necessary to reduce prices of our products, which could impact
	operating margins and net income.                                                                                                    
|
| |  | Our ability to achieve cost reductions.As with all
	companies, we constantly strive to improve our margins through
	reductions in our cost of sales. Failure to reduce our costs
	could reduce our margins which in turn could adversely affect our
	 ability to operate profitably.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
|
| |  | Our ability to obtain sufficient supplies of sole or limited
	source components for our products. If we cannot obtain
	components for our products, we may be unable to produce
	sufficient quantities of our products to meet demand. As a
	result, our revenues could be adversely affected. This is
	particularly true with respect to obtaining sole or limited
	source components because replacement sources, if any, will take
	time to identify.                                                                        
|
| |  | The timing and rate of deployment of our products by NSPs.
	 The timing and rate of deployment by NSPs can affect sales of
	products to these NSPs and, in turn, our operating results.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
|
| |  | Preferential pricing arrangements.We have preferential
	pricing arrangements with some of our customers. In our effort to
	 win new business we may negotiate preferential pricing
	arrangements in the future with other customers. While these
	arrangements are intended to provide greater revenue, they will
	have a negative impact on our margins. Furthermore, because our
	strategy relies on entering into these arrangements in the
	future, if we fail to do so, our results could be below
	expectations.          
|
| |  | Our ability to attain and maintain production volumes and
	quality levels for our products. Many factors could affect
	our ability to maintain production volumes and quality levels.
	They include an inability to obtain raw materials or components,
	labor shortages, and the maintenance of adequate facilities for
	production. If we fail to maintain production volumes or quality
	level we may be unable to produce sufficient quantities of our
	products to meet demand, which would adversely affect our
	revenues.
|
| |  | The mix of products sold and the mix of distribution channels
	through which they are sold. The mix of products sold can
	adversely affect our results. Margins vary within our newer and
	older products. If we fail to successfully sell our higher margin
	 products, our gross margins may be lower than expected. In
	addition, some distribution channels have higher costs associated
	 with sales. As a result, the mix of distribution channels may
	adversely affect operating income.                                
|
| |  | Fluctuations in demand for our products and services,
	especially by our major customers. Because we are highly
	dependent on sales to a relatively small numbers of customers,
	changes in demand from

| |   | those customers can have a disproportionately large effect on our
         revenues and results of operations. For example, direct and
        indirect product sales to, and services performed for, Lucent
        constituted approximately 47% of our total revenues in 1998 and
        29% in the first nine months of 1999. If Lucents demand for
         our products in 1999 or in future years were to decline, our
        revenues would suffer.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
|
| |  | Expiration of favorable supply or purchase contracts.For
        example, we currently have a supply agreement with Lucent under
        which we are the exclusive supplier through June 2001 of
        Lucents requirements for stand-alone network access
        products for resale. As a result, Lucent must purchase these
        products from us. Direct and indirect sales of these products to
        Lucent accounted for approximately 46% of our total revenues in
        1998 and 29% in the first nine months of 1999. After the
        expiration of the agreement, we may be unable to negotiate a new
        supply agreement. If we are unable to negotiate a new supply
        agreement, Lucent could enter into a supply agreement with
        another party or purchase these products from multiple providers.
         In either case, our sales of these products would decline
        substantially.
|
| |  | Costs relating to possible acquisitions and integration of
        technologies or businesses. The costs to acquire technologies
         and businesses is substantial. In addition to the direct costs,
        there are significant indirect costs related to integration of
        personnel and technologies and potential product redesign. These
        costs may decrease operating income or increase operating loss if
         they are not offset by comparable increases in revenue.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

In addition conditions in the telecommunications market,
including consolidation in the industry, and economic conditions
generally could adversely affect both our revenues and costs. Due
 to these and other factors, period-to-period comparisons should
not be relied upon as indications of future performance. It is
possible that in some future periods, our operating results
and/or our growth rate will be below what public market analysts
and investors expect.

We May Not Achieve Revenue Growth Or Profitability

We cannot be certain that we will continue to achieve revenue
growth or realize sufficient revenues to achieve profitability.
Excluding a one-time gain in connection with a contract
renegotiation with Lucent in 1997 and the related tax effect, we
had an accumulated net deficit of approximately $37.2 million
during the period from August 1, 1996 through
December 31, 1998. We have not been profitable in any fiscal
 year of operations except in 1997 when we were profitable as a
result of the non-recurring gain in connection with the
renegotiation of a contract with Lucent. We anticipate that we
will continue to incur significant product development and
selling, general and administrative expenses and, as a result, we
 will need to generate higher revenues to achieve and sustain
profitability on an annual basis.

| | Our Dependence On Only A Few Major Customers For A Substantial
         Portion Of Our 
         Revenues Exposes Us To Financial Risks

We depend on a small number of customers for a substantial
portion of our revenues. As a result, a loss
or a significant
reduction or delay in sales to any of our major customers could
materially and adversely
affect our revenues. Direct product
sales to Lucent and services performed for Lucent in 1998
accounted
for approximately 35% of our total revenues. Sales to
Tech Data Corporation, a distributor, in 1998 accounted
for
approximately 15% of our total revenues. We estimate that
approximately 70% of our sales to TechData
represented products
that were resold to Lucent. Collectively, we estimate that direct
 and indirect
 sales to, and services
performed for, Lucent
accounted for approximately 47% of our total revenues in 1998 and
 29% in the first
nine months of 1999. Sales to SITA, an NSP, in
1998 accounted for approximately 9% of our total revenues in 1998
 and 8% in the first nine months of 1999, and sales to Rhythms,
also an NSP, accounted for
approximately 6% of our total revenues
 in 1998 and 28% in the first nine months of 1999. Unless and
until we

Diversification and expansion of our customer base is
particularly critical because of the highly competitive nature of
 our business. Our contracts are generally subject to annual
renewal with the exception of our contracts with Lucent and
several other customers, which have two to five year terms, and
our customers generally do not have any obligation to purchase
products solely from Paradyne. Under a supply agreement between
Lucent and Paradyne, Paradyne is the exclusive supplier of
Lucents requirements for stand alone network access
products, such as our FrameSaver products, for resale through
June 2001.

| | We Compete In Highly Competitive Markets And Competition Could
         Harm Our Ability 
         To Sell Products And Services

The telecommunications market is highly competitive. We compete
directly with other providers of broadband and narrowband access
equipment. If we are unable to compete effectively in the market
for our products or services, our revenue and future
profitability could be materially and adversely affected. We
believe that competition may increase substantially as the
introduction of new technologies, deployment of broadband
networks and potential regulatory changes create new
opportunities for established and emerging companies in the
industry. We expect that competition for products that address
the broadband access market will grow as more established and new
 companies focus on this market.

Many of our current and potential competitors are larger than we
are and have significantly greater financial, sales and
marketing, technical, manufacturing and other resources and more
established channels of distribution. As a result, these
competitors may be able to respond more rapidly to new or
emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements, or to
 devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale
of their products. Our competitors may enter our existing or
future markets with solutions that may be less costly, provide
higher performance or additional features or be introduced
earlier than our solutions.

Our markets are characterized by increasing consolidation both
within the data communications sector and by companies combining
or acquiring data communications products and technology for
delivering voice-related services, as exemplified by the recently
 announced acquisitions of Ascend by Lucent, Diamond Lane by
Nokia and Xylan by Alcatel. We cannot be sure of the impact of
any of these acquisitions on the competitive environment for our
products. Increased competition and consolidation could result in
 price reductions and a decrease in our market share.

Our Dependence On Development Relationships Could Threaten Our
 Ability To Sell 
 Products

Our success is dependent upon our continued relationship with
certain companies, including AG Communications Systems, Ascend,
GlobeSpan, NetScout and Xylan. If any of these companies breaches
 or terminates its agreement or fails to perform its obligations
under its agreement, we might not be able to
sustain or grow our
business. In particular, if any of these companies, other current
 corporate partners or
future corporate partners discontinue
their support of products that we have developed in cooperation
with
them, fail to continue to develop product enhancements
required to meet customer demand, fail to appropriately address
performance issues related to products that we have developed in
cooperation with them,
face claims
of infringement of third party
 intellectual property rights with respect to the technology
included in products
that we have developed in cooperation with
them or fail to continue to support joint marketing programs, our
ability to sell products that we have developed in cooperation
with them would be hampered. Additionally, in

Our Ability To Sustain Or Grow Our Business Might Be Harmed If
 We Lose Sales Of 
 Access Products To Lucent

We have a relationship with Premisys Communications through which
 we have exclusive distribution rights through April 2005 for
Premisys IMACS system, which we market to Lucent and
AT&T under the name Acculink Access Controller. We have also
entered into a supply and exclusivity agreement with Lucent under
 which we are the exclusive supplier of Lucents
requirements for various access products, such as the Acculink
Access Controller, for resale through June 2001. Sales of
Acculink Access Controller accounted for greater than 10% of our
total revenues during each of 1997 and 1998. Our revenues would
be adversely affected if Premisys fails to meet its obligations
under the agreement or if Lucent or AT&T were to
substantially reduce or discontinue their orders of Acculink
Access Controller.

We Depend On Sole And Single Source Suppliers Which Exposes Us
 To Potential 
 Supply Interruption

We currently purchase a number of important parts, such as
framers, semiconductors and embedded communications processors,
from sole source vendors for which alternative sources are not
currently available. Delays or interruptions in the supply of
these components result in delays or reductions in product
shipments. The purchase of these components from outside
suppliers on a sole source basis subjects us to risks, including
the continued availability of supplies, price increases and
potential quality assurance problems. We currently purchase key
components for which there are currently no immediate substitutes
 available from approximately 51 vendors. All of these components
 are critical to the production of our products. While
alternative suppliers may be available to us, we must first
identify these suppliers and qualify them. We cannot be certain
that any such suppliers will meet our required qualifications or
that we will be able to identify alternative suppliers in a
timely fashion, if at all. We may not be able to obtain
sufficient quantities of these components on the same or
substantially the same terms. Consolidations involving suppliers
could further reduce the number of alternatives for us and affect
 the cost of such supplies. An increase in the cost of such
supplies could make our products less competitive with products
which do not incorporate such components. Lower margins or less
competitive product pricing could materially and adversely affect
 our business, financial condition and results of operation.

Our Sales Cycle Is Typically Long And
Unpredictable

Our business is subject to lengthy sales cycles. As a result, we
may not recognize revenues from the sale of our products for long
 periods of time. Delays in product testing or approval, or
cancellations of orders by customers, especially our NSP
customers, could materially and adversely affect our revenues. On
 average, our sales cycle ranges from six to nine months. Sales
of our products require a substantial commitment of capital and
time from our customers, many of whom have lengthy internal
procedures for approving large capital expenditures and lengthy
testing and decision-making processes. Before our NSP customers
purchase products from us, they must first make a decision to
standardize their service on a particular product, which involves
 extensive testing. Our sales cycle may be slowed further, or
affected by, budgetary constraints and purchasing requirements of
 our customers, all of which are beyond our control. Moreover,
sales of our products often require significant training of both
our customers and end users before the decision to purchase. As a
 result, we may expend significant resources pursuing potential
sales opportunities that will not be consummated.

Because Of Our Long Product Development Process,
We Incur Substantial Expenses Before We Earn Associated Revenues

In order to remain competitive, we invest significant resources
toward research and development of our current and potential
products. Development costs and expenses are incurred before we
generate any revenues

A Failure By Us To Protect Our Technology May
Adversely Affect Our Ability To Compete

Our success and ability to compete is substantially dependent
upon our technology. A failure to protect our technology could
result in competitors offering similar products potentially
resulting in a loss of competitive advantage and decreased
revenues. We rely on a combination of patent, trademark,
copyright and trade secret laws and non-disclosure agreements to
protect such technology. Currently, we hold over 165 United
States patents and have over 100 United States patent
applications pending. In addition, we hold certain corresponding
foreign patents and have certain corresponding foreign patent
applications pending. However, we cannot be certain that patents
will be issued with respect to any of our pending or future
patent applications. In addition, we do not know whether any of
our issued patents will be upheld as valid or that they will
prevent the development of competitive products.

We seek to protect our intellectual property rights by limiting
access to the distribution of our software, documentation and
other proprietary information. If any third parties infringe our
proprietary rights, such infringement could materially and
adversely affect our competitive positions. As with our issued
patents, we cannot be certain that the steps we have taken to
protect our intellectual property will adequately prevent the
misappropriation of any of our technology. Our competitors may
independently develop technologies that are substantially
equivalent or superior to our technologies. In addition, the laws
 of certain foreign countries do not protect our proprietary
rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States.
Third parties may attempt to copy or reverse engineer aspects of
our products or to obtain and use information that we regard as
proprietary. Accordingly, we may not be able to protect our
proprietary rights against unauthorized third party copying or
use.

We are also subject to the risk of adverse claims and litigation
alleging infringement of the intellectual property rights of
others. These claims may require us to enter into license
arrangements or may result in protracted and costly litigation,
regardless of the merits of such claims. We may not be able to
obtain necessary licenses on commercially reasonable terms, if at
 all. From time to time, we receive and have received letters
from others requesting licenses or indicating that our products
may require a license. These letters are not uncommon in the
industry, and these letters are dealt with according to normal
business practices. For example, in March 1999, we received a
letter from a third party patent owner alleging infringement by
us of patents allegedly relating to equipment, including bar code
 scanners and circuit board manufacturing equipment, which we use
 in our manufacturing processes, and to integrated circuit
microchips that we buy and incorporate into our products. We
purchase this equipment and the microchips from vendors, who we
believe may have an obligation to indemnify us in the event that
the equipment and microchips infringe the patents. The patents
referenced in this letter are also the basis for several
infringement lawsuits commenced by the patent owner to which we
are not a party. In some of those claims, the defendants are in
the process of challenging the validity of the patents. No claim
has been asserted beyond this letter, but we cannot assure you
that the third party will not commence an infringement action
against us. We are in the process of investigating the
allegations. If an infringement claim is brought against us, we
cannot assure you that we would prevail and any adverse outcome
could require us, among other things, to pay royalties to the
third party patent owner. Based on our investigation to date, we
presently do not believe that any such adverse outcome would have
 a material adverse impact on our operations. However, we cannot
assure you that future developments will not affect this
conclusion or assure you that we will not receive other letters
alleging infringement in the future.

If We Are Unable To Attract And Retain Key
Personnel And A Skilled Workforce, 
 We May Not Be Able To Sustain Or Grow Our Business

Our success depends to a significant degree upon the continued
contributions of the principal members of our sales, engineering
and management personnel, many of whom would be difficult to
replace. The loss of such personnel could materially and
adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of
 operations. Specifically, we believe that our future success is
highly dependent on our senior management, and in

We believe that our future success will also depend highly upon
our ability to attract and retain highly skilled customer support
 and product development personnel. The market for qualified
personnel in the telecommunications industry is highly
competitive, and we frequently experience difficulty in
recruiting qualified personnel. Recruiting qualified personnel is
 an intensely competitive and time-consuming process.

Our Reliance On International Sales May Make Us
Susceptible To Global Economic Factors, Foreign Tax Law Issues
And Currency Fluctuations

We currently have 10 sales offices and subsidiaries in North
America, Europe and Asia through which we market and sell our
products. International sales accounted for approximately 20% of
our total revenues in 1998. Our international operations subject
us to risks to which we would not otherwise be exposed. These
risks may cause our results of operations to fluctuate. For
example, sales to customers outside of the United States
accounted for approximately 30% of revenues in 1997 and 20% of
revenues in 1998, respectively. This decrease was primarily due
to the decline in sales of our older narrowband products and
economic instability in Asia. Our international operations
subject us to risks to which we would not otherwise be exposed,
such as:

Our Failure To Comply With Regulations Could
Affect Our Product Offerings

We are subject to a significant number of communications
regulations and standards, some of which are evolving as new
technologies are deployed and due to ongoing judicial and
administrative proceedings. New regulations or new
interpretations of existing laws or regulations, or compliance
with additional existing regulations due to changes in the nature
 of our products could result in significant additional cost to
Paradyne. Moreover, failure of our products to comply, or delays
in compliance, with the various existing and evolving industry
regulations and standards could delay the introduction of our
products. Our products may be required to comply with various
regulations, including those promulgated by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC), state public
utilities commissions and various foreign governments. Our
products must comply with the Communications Act of 1934 and the
Telecommunication Act of 1996. In the United States, in addition
to complying with FCC regulations, our products are required to
meet certain safety requirements. For example, NSPs may require
that our products that are located in their facilities be network
 equipment building standard certified before they purchase the
products from us. Outside of the United States, our products are
subject to the regulatory requirements of each country in which
the products are manufactured or sold. These requirements vary
widely, and we may be unable to obtain on a timely basis, or if
at all, necessary approvals for the manufacture, marketing and
sale of our products.

Enactment by federal, state or foreign governments of new laws or
 regulations, changes in the interpretation of existing laws or
regulations or a reversal of the trend toward deregulation in the
 telecommunication industry could materially and adversely affect
 our customers, and thereby materially and adversely affect our
business, financial condition and results of operations.

Changes To Regulations Affecting The
Telecommunications Industry Could Reduce Demand For Our Products

If our NSP customers are required to comply with new laws, new
regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or
regulations, or if they are required to comply with additional
existing regulations due to changes in the nature of their
services, those changes could materially and adversely affect the
 market for our products. A large percentage of our customers are
 NSPs whose voice services, and many of their other network
services, must comply with the Communications Act of 1934, the
Telecommunications Act of 1996 and regulations prescribed by the
FCC. Furthermore, most of our NSP customers voice services
are subject to regulation by state public utilities commissions.
Some of our NSP customers are subject to foreign government
regulation. Many of these federal, state and foreign regulations
continue to evolve due to ongoing judicial and administrative
proceedings, particularly those federal regulations designed to
define rights and obligations under the Telecommunications Act of
 1996. For example, the FCC is considering changes to its
regulations, including those relating to the access to copper
telephone lines, the ability of customers to install equipment at
 an NSPs central location and the compatibility
requirements placed upon equipment which may be run on copper
telephone lines. Furthermore, the United States Congress is
considering a variety of amendments to the Communications Act of
1934 and the Telecommunications Act of 1996.

Compliance With Evolving Industry Standards Could
Adversely Affect Our Product Offerings

Many of our products must comply with equipment standards adopted
 by national and international standards bodies. If we are
required, or deem it otherwise necessary or advisable, to comply
with new standards or with additional existing standards due to
changes in standards, we may have to modify our current or future
 products. The costs of any modification could materially and
adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of
 operations. Compliance with these standards is important because
 it often enhances the marketability of our products. Many of
those standards are influenced by industry committees that
develop draft standards and technical reports. These industry
committees often include us, our customers, and our competitors
and their customers.

We Rely Heavily On Distributors And Resellers

We estimate that in 1998 over 70% of our sales were made through
distributors and resellers. We often rely on distributors and
resellers to provide installation, training and customer support
to the ultimate end users of our products. As a result, our
success depends on the continued sales and customer support
efforts of our network of distributors and resellers. Any
reduction, delay or loss of orders from our significant
distributors or resellers could materially and adversely affect
our revenues.

Our Ability To Sustain Or Grow Our Business May Be
 Harmed If We Are Unable To Provide Adequate Customer Support

Our ability to continue to grow our company and to retain current
 and future customers depends in part upon the quality of our
customer support operations. A failure to offer adequate customer
 support could materially and adversely affect our reputation or
cause demand for our products to decline. Our customers generally
 require significant support and training prior to the
installation and deployment of our products. Providing adequate
levels of support to our customers, requires significant
expenditures of resources and capital. As the market for
high-speed access devices grows and as the technology for these
devices continues to evolve, we will need to augment and improve
upon our customer support operations.

We May Not Be Able To Finance Our Growth And
Capital Requirements

Substantial working capital is required in order to fund and
continue to build our business. If we fail to do
so, we will not
be able to remain competitive or continue to meet the increasing
demands for our products. We
expect to use the net proceeds of
this offering for general corporate purposes, including working
capital
and capital expenditures. We may also need to spend
significant amounts of cash to fund operating losses and
increases in expenses, take advantage of opportunities or respond
 to developments or competitive pressures.

We Rely Upon Distributions, Dividends And Loans
From Our Subsidiaries In Order To Meet Our Obligations And
Commitments

As a holding company, we have no operations of our own. If our
subsidiaries are unable to pay dividends or make loans or other
distributions to us, we may not be able to meet obligations and
debts that we incur, and the market price of our common stock
could be adversely affected. In connection with a line of credit
facility, our operating subsidiary Paradyne Corporation and its
Canadian subsidiary are restricted from paying dividends and
making loans and other distributions. For a further description
of these restrictions, please see Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations  Liquidity and Capital Resources.

The Year 2000 Problem May Severely Disrupt Our
Business, Financial Condition And Results Of Operations

As is true for most companies, the Year 2000 problem creates a
risk for us. Some computers, software and other equipment include
 programming code in which calendar year data is abbreviated to
only two digits (e.g., 99) rather than four digits (e.g., 1999).
As a result, these systems automatically assume that the first
two digits of a calendar year are 1 and
9. Therefore, time-sensitive functions of these
systems may misinterpret dates after January 1, 2000, to
refer to the twentieth century rather than the twenty-first
century (i.e., 02 could be interpreted as
1902 rather than 2002). The problems
associated with this design decision are commonly referred to as
the Millennium Bug, Year 2000 problem or
Y2K problem. If systems do not correctly recognize
date information when the year changes to 2000, there could be an
 adverse impact on our operations. The risk exists primarily in
three areas:



| |   |

        suppliers; and                                                                                                                                                                      
|
| |  | the potential for failures of our products, particularly our
        central office-based systems, due to Year 2000 problems
        associated with products manufactured by other equipment vendors
        used in conjunction with our products.

A disruption in the operations of parties with whom we interact
could materially and adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations.

Substantial uncertainty remains in the software industry
concerning the potential effects associated with the
Year 2000 problem. We have developed a comprehensive
multi-year plan to ensure that our internal computer software and
 hardware systems will be Year 2000 compliant. While we
believe that we have implemented a comprehensive plan for
addressing the Year 2000 problem and anticipate completing
our compliance activities in a timely manner, we cannot be
certain that these Year 2000 compliance efforts will be
successful. Furthermore, the financial impact of making the
required systems changes cannot be known precisely at this time.

We are currently developing contingency plans to be implemented
as part of our efforts to identify and
correct Year 2000
problems affecting our internal systems. We expect to complete
these contingency plans by
the end of the third quarter of 1999.
Depending on the systems affected, these plans could include
accelerated
replacement of affected equipment or software,
increased work hours for our personnel or use of contract

If Our Products Contain Defects, We May Be Subject
 To Significant Liability Claims From Our Customers And The
End-Users Of Our Products And Incur Significant Unexpected
Expenses And Lost Sales

Our products are complex and, despite extensive testing, may
therefore contain undetected errors or failures. If this happens,
 we may experience delay in or loss of market acceptance and
sales, product returns, diversion of research and development
resources, injury to our reputation or increased service and
warranty costs. We also have exposure to significant liability
claims with respect to our customers because our products are
designed to provide critical communications services. Although we
 attempt to limit such exposure through product liability
insurance and through contractual limitations in our customer
agreements, such precautions may not cover all potential claims
resulting from a defect in one of our products.

Management And Our Single Largest Stockholder May
Limit Your Ability To Influence The Outcome Of Director Elections
 And Other Stockholder Matters

Our executive officers, directors and principal stockholders and
their affiliates beneficially owned approximately 58% of our
outstanding shares of common stock, as of October 31,1999.
As a result, these stockholders, if acting together, would be
able effectively to control substantially all matters requiring
approval by our stockholders.

Entities associated with Texas Pacific Group owned approximately
41% of our outstanding shares of common stock, as of
October 31,1999 and may be able to exercise control over
Paradyne, subject to the fiduciary duties of its representatives
on the board of directors under Delaware law. The interests of
Texas Pacific Group may not always coincide with the interests of
 other stockholders. Texas Pacific Group, through its
representatives on the board of directors, could cause us to
enter into transactions or agreements which we would not
otherwise consider absent Texas Pacific Group influence.

Our Stock Price May Be Volatile And You May Not Be
 Able To Resell Shares At Or Above The Offering Price

Prior to the effective date of our initial public offering on
July 15, 1999, there was no public market for our common
stock. The trading price of our common stock could be subject to
wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which
are beyond our control, such as:



| |   |

We May Engage In Acquisitions, And We May Be
Unable To Successfully Integrate Any New Operations,
Technologies, Products Or Personnel

Recently, the telecommunications industry has experienced
substantial mergers and acquisitions activity. We have engaged in
 discussions in the past with third parties concerning potential
acquisitions of product lines, technologies and businesses.
However, we currently have no commitments or agreements with
respect to any such acquisition. In the event that such an
acquisition does occur, because of the small size of our
management team, we may be particularly susceptible to risks
associated with the assimilation of operations, technologies,
products and personnel and the diversion of managements
attention from other business concerns.

Should We Sell A Substantial Number Of Shares Of
Our Common Stock In The Public 
 Market, The Price Of Our Common Stock Could Fall

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in
the public market after our initial public offering could cause
the market price of our common stock to decline and could impair
our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of
equity securities. As of October 31, 1999, we had
approximately 30,816,490 shares of common stock outstanding, of
which approximately 12,047,873 shares are freely transferable
without restriction or registration under the Securities Act,
unless such shares are held by our affiliates, as that term is
defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The remaining
18,768,617 shares of common stock held by existing stockholders
as of October 31, 1999 are restricted securities
 as that term is defined in Rule 144 (the Restricted
Securities). Approximately 18,474,035 shares of our common
stock are subject to lock-up agreements which
generally prohibit the sale or other transfer of such shares
during the period beginning on July 15, 1999 and ending on
January 11, 2000 without the prior written consent of
Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation, the lead
 manager of our initial public offering. As of January 12,
2000, all of these shares will become eligible for sale, subject
in most cases to the limitations of Rule 144 and
Rule 701. Restricted shares held by non-affiliates will be
eligible for sale under Rule 144(k) without volume and
manner of sale restrictions. In addition, we have filed a
registration statement on Form S-8 with the Securities and
Exchange Commission covering the 7,250,000 shares of common stock
 reserved for issuance under our 1996 Equity Incentive Plan, 1999
 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and 1999 Non-Employee
Directors Stock Option Plan. Upon expiration of the lock-up
 period discussed above, approximately 1,972,759 shares will be
subject to immediately exercisable options (based on options
outstanding on October 31, 1999). Sales of a large number of
 any of these shares could have an adverse effect on the market
price for our common stock.

Our Corporate Charter And Bylaws May Discourage
Take-Over Attempts And Depress 
 The Market Price Of Our Stock

Provisions in our restated certificate of incorporation and
bylaws may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of
control or changes in our management. These provisions include:

  the right of the board of directors to elect a
director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the board
of directors;

  the ability of the board of directors to alter our
bylaws without obtaining stockholder approval;

  the requirement that at least 50% of the outstanding
 shares of common stock are needed to call a special meeting of
stockholders;

  the division of the board of directors into three
classes, with each class serving staggered three-year terms; and

21

##### Table of Contents



  the requirement that all actions by stockholders
must be effected at a duly called meeting of the stockholders and
 may not be effected by consent in writing.

These provisions could discourage take-over attempts and could
adversely affect the market price of our common stock. In
addition, these provisions may limit the ability of stockholders
to remove our current management. In addition, our board of
directors can issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock
without the approval of the holders of common stock. Any
preferred stock may have rights senior to the common stock. The
issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting
power of holders of common stock and reduce the likelihood that
such holders will receive dividend payments and payments upon
liquidation. Such issuance could have the effect of decreasing
the market price of the common stock. The issuance of preferred
stock could also have the effect of delaying, deterring or
preventing a change in control of Paradyne.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT
MARKET RISK

If we were to borrow from our revolving line of credit facility
with Bank of America NT&SA we would be exposed to changes in
interest rates. Additionally, we are exposed from investments in
some held-to maturity securities. Under our current policies, we
do not use interest rate derivative instruments to manage
exposure to interest rate changes. Additionally, we do not
currently engage in foreign currency hedging transactions to
manage exposure for transactions denominated in currencies other
than U.S. dollars.
