DIGI INTERNATIONAL INC.

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q have been prepared by Digi International Inc. (the Company or Digi) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC.

The condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments which consist only of normal, recurring adjustments (except for the discrete event related to the reversal of certain income tax reserves as a result of a settlement of an Internal Revenue Service audit) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The consolidated results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

2. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (FAS 123), the Company has chosen to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic-value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” (APB 25) and related interpretations. Accordingly, compensation costs for stock options granted to employees are measured as the excess, if any, of the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the common stock. Such compensation expense, if any, is amortized on a straight-line basis over the option vesting period. This compensation expense is reflected as an addition to net income in the table below.

Had the Company applied the fair-value-based method of accounting for its stock options granted to employees and for the stock purchases under the employee stock purchase plan in accordance with FAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition Disclosure – an amendment of FAS 123,” and charged operations over the option vesting periods based on the fair value of options on the date of grant, net income and net income per common share would have changed to the pro forma amounts indicated below (in thousands, except per common share data):

2. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION (CONTINUED)

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (FAS 123R) which revises FAS 123 and supersedes APB 25. This standard establishes standards relating to accounting for transactions in which equity instruments, such as stock options, are exchanged for goods or services. Under this statement, the Company must measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based upon the fair value of the award on the date of grant. This cost must be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide the service (usually the vesting period). In April 2005 the SEC delayed the effective date of FAS 123R and as a result, the Company is required to adopt the provisions of this standard beginning October 1, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard. The adoption of this standard will result in an increase in compensation expense and a reduction to net income and net income per common share. As indicated by the pro forma amounts in the above table, the adoption of this standard is expected to have a material effect on the consolidated results of operations.

3. NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Basic net income per common share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive shares outstanding during the period. The Company’s only potentially dilutive shares are those that result from dilutive common stock options and shares purchased through the employee stock purchase plan.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

3. NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE (CONTINUED)

The following table is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators in the net income per common share calculations (in thousands, except per common share data):

Potentially dilutive shares related to stock options to purchase 275,375 and 300,375 common shares for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2005, respectively, and potentially dilutive shares related to stock options to purchase 1,928,975 and 2,070,745 common shares for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2004, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share because the options’ exercise prices were greater than the average market price of common shares and, therefore, their effect would be anti-dilutive.

4. ACQUISITION

Effective April 1, 2005, the Company acquired FS Forth-Systeme GmbH and Sistemas Embebidos S.A. (collectively referred to as FS Forth) from Embedded Solutions AG of Germany. FS Forth is a provider of embedded modules, software and development services for the rapidly expanding embedded networking market. A payment of $4.4 million was made to Embedded Solutions AG on March 30, 2005. The effective date of the acquisition was April 1, 2005, therefore, the operations of FS Forth are not reflected in the Company’s financial statements as of March 31, 2005 other than the $4.4 million which is presented as a deposit on business acquisition in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2005. The Company has determined that FS Forth’s line of embedded modules, software and development services will be part of the Device Networking Solutions segment.

Components of the purchase consideration consist of $4.4 million in cash subject to a purchase price adjustment to be made based on the values of liabilities and stockholders’ equity contained on the final closing balance sheet of FS Forth as of March 31, 2005. In addition, contingent consideration of up to $2.0 million is payable in installments of $0.8 million on October 1, 2006 and $1.2 million on October 1, 2007 if FS Forth achieves certain future milestones.

4. ACQUISITION (CONTINUED)

The transaction will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and accordingly, the purchase price will be allocated to the estimated fair value of assets acquired consisting of tangible assets (principally accounts receivable, inventories and equipment) and intangible assets (principally customer relationships, technology and goodwill) and liabilities assumed. The purchase price allocation had not been finalized at March 31, 2005 and is expected to be finalized in the fiscal third quarter.

7. INCOME TAXES

In the first quarter of fiscal 2005, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) completed an audit of certain of the Company’s prior fiscal years income tax returns, subject to final approval by the Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation. As a result of a settlement agreement associated with this audit, the Company paid $3.2 million to the IRS in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 resulting in a reduction to the income taxes payable liability.

In February 2005, the Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation approved the settlement with the IRS. The Company had tax reserves recorded in excess of the ultimate amount settled, which resulted in the reversal of $5.7 million of excess income tax reserves during the second quarter of fiscal 2005. This reversal was accounted for as a discrete event and resulted in an income tax benefit of $5.7 million.

8. FINANCIAL GUARANTEES

The Company, in general, warrants its products to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of one to five years from the date of receipt. The Company has the option to repair or replace products it deems defective due to material or workmanship. Estimated warranty costs are accrued in the period that the related revenue is recognized based upon an estimated average per unit repair or replacement cost applied to the estimated number of units under warranty. These estimates are based upon historical warranty incidence and are evaluated on an ongoing basis to ensure the adequacy of the warranty reserve. The following table summarizes the activity associated with the product warranty accrual (in thousands):

The Company is not responsible and does not warrant that custom software versions created by original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers based upon the Company’s software source code will function in a particular way, will conform to any specifications or are fit for any particular purpose and does not indemnify these customers from any third-party liability as it relates to or arises from any customization or modifications made by the OEM customer.

9. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

For the Company, comprehensive income is comprised of net income and foreign currency translation adjustments. Foreign currency translation adjustments are charged or credited to accumulated other comprehensive income within stockholders’ equity.

Comprehensive income was as follows (in thousands):

10. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company operates in two reportable segments, the Connectivity Solutions Segment and the Device Networking Solutions Segment.

Connectivity Solutions — Connectivity solutions are used by businesses to create, customize, and control retail operations, industrial automation, and other applications. The primary product lines include terminal servers, Universal Serial Bus (USB) connectivity, multi-port serial adaptors, Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN), and Remote Access Server (RAS). In February 2005, the Company announced the introduction of the Wireless/Cellular product line which is also included in the Connectivity Solutions segment. Product introductions within this product line provide serial-to-wireless and Ethernet-to-wireless IP connectivity to remote sites and devices via the cellular GSM network. This reporting segment is comprised of two operating units. The operating units include the USB products associated with the Company’s Inside Out Networks subsidiary, and the products associated with all other operations of the Company, excluding NetSilicon and the Device Server product line. The Company’s Connectivity Solutions segment has operating facilities located in Minnetonka and Eden Prairie, Minnesota; Dortmund, Germany; Hong Kong, China; and the Inside Out Networks facilities in Austin, Texas and Long Beach, California.

11. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On April 19, 2002, a consolidated amended class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York asserting claims relating to the initial public offering (IPO) of NetSilicon and approximately 300 other public companies. The complaint names as defendants the Company, NetSilicon, certain of its officers and certain underwriters involved in NetSilicon’s IPO, among numerous others, and asserts, among other things, that NetSilicon’s IPO prospectus and registration statement violated federal securities laws because they contained material misrepresentations and/or omissions regarding the conduct of NetSilicon’s IPO underwriters in allocating shares in NetSilicon’s IPO to the underwriters’ customers. The
Company believes that the claims against the NetSilicon defendants are without merit and has defended the litigation vigorously. Pursuant to a stipulation between the parties, the two named officers were dismissed from the lawsuit, without prejudice, on October 9, 2002.

In June 2003, the Company elected to participate in a proposed settlement agreement with the plaintiffs in this litigation. If ultimately approved by the Court, this proposed settlement would result in a dismissal, with prejudice, of all claims in the litigation against the Company and against any of the other issuer defendants who elect to participate in the proposed settlement, together with the current or former officers and directors of participating issuers who were named as individual defendants.

Consummation of the proposed settlement remains conditioned upon obtaining both preliminary and final approval by the Court. Formal settlement documents were filed with the Court in June 2004, together with a motion asking the Court to preliminarily approve the form of settlement. Certain underwriters who were named as defendants in the settling cases, and who are not parties to the proposed settlement, opposed preliminary approval of the proposed settlement of those cases. On February 15, 2005, the Court issued an order preliminarily approving the proposed settlement in all respects but one. The plaintiffs and the issuer defendants are in the process of assessing whether to proceed with the proposed settlement, as modified by the Court. If the plaintiffs and the issuer defendants elect to proceed with the proposed settlement, as modified by the Court, they will submit revised settlement documents to the Court. The underwriter defendants may then have an opportunity to object to the revised settlement documents. If the Court approves the revised settlement documents, it will direct that notice of the terms of the proposed settlement be published in a newspaper and on the internet, mailed to all proposed class members, and will schedule a fairness hearing, at which objections to the proposed settlement will be heard. Thereafter, the Court will determine whether to grant final approval to the proposed settlement.

If the proposed settlement is not consummated, the Company intends to continue to defend the litigation vigorously. The litigation process is inherently uncertain and unpredictable, however, and there can be no guarantee as to the ultimate outcome of this pending lawsuit. The Company maintains liability insurance for such matters and expects that the liability insurance will be adequate to cover any potential unfavorable outcome, less the applicable deductible amount of $250,000 per claim. As of March 31, 2005, the Company has accrued a liability for the deductible amount of $250,000 which the Company believes reflects the amount of loss that is probable. In the event the Company has losses that exceed the limits of the liability insurance, such losses could have a material effect on the business, or consolidated results of operations or financial condition of the Company.

On April 13, 2004, the Company filed a lawsuit against Lantronix Inc. (Lantronix) alleging that certain of Lantronix’s products infringe the Company’s U.S. Patent No. 6,446,192. The Company filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court in Minnesota. The lawsuit seeks both monetary and non-monetary relief. On May 3, 2004, Lantronix filed a lawsuit against the Company alleging that certain of the Company’s products infringe Lantronix’s U.S. Patent No. 6,571,305, in the U.S. District Court for the Central District

of California. The lawsuit seeks both monetary and non-monetary relief. On February 7, 2005 Lantronix Inc. and Acticon Technologies LLC filed a lawsuit against the Company alleging that certain of the Company’s products infringe U.S. Patent No. 4,972,470. The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. The lawsuit seeks both monetary and non-monetary relief. The Company believes the impact of these disputes on the business, or consolidated results of operations or financial condition of the Company will not be material.

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to various claims and litigation, including patent infringement and intellectual property claims. Management of the Company expects that these various claims and litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated results of operations or financial condition of the Company.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A description of the Company’s critical accounting policies was provided in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2004. There were no changes to these accounting policies during the first six months of fiscal 2005.

OVERVIEW

Digi operates in the communications technology sector, which is characterized by rapid technological advances and evolving industry standards. The market can be significantly affected by new product introductions and marketing activities of industry participants. Digi places a high priority on development of innovative products that provide differentiated features and functions and allow for ease of integration with customers’ applications. The Company competes for customers on the basis of product performance, support, quality, product features, company reputation, customer and channel relationships, price and availability.

The Company operates in two reportable segments, the Connectivity Solutions segment and the Device Networking Solutions segment (see Note 10 to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). The Connectivity Solutions segment includes products that are mature, in which the addressable market is no longer growing and may be declining, as well as products that have recently been introduced and are in growing markets. Mature products within this segment include ISDN, RAS and multi-port serial adaptors. Growth products within this segment are comprised of USB and terminal server products as well as the recently introduced Wireless/Cellular products. The Company’s strategy is to focus on key applications, customers and markets to efficiently manage the migration from mature products and applications to other newer technologies.

The Company expects continued long-term growth in the Device Networking Solutions segment. The primary product lines in this segment include device servers, integrated microprocessors, integrated microprocessor-based modules, printer controller boards, and network interface cards. The Company believes that these products will allow customers to migrate from an external box to a board or module and eventually to a fully integrated chip without making major changes to their existing software platforms.

The Company intends to continue to extend its current product lines with next generation commercial device networking products and technologies targeted for selected vertical markets, such as point of sale, industrial automation, office automation, and building controls. The Company believes that there is a market trend of device networking in vertical commercial applications that will require communications intelligence or connectivity to a network or the internet. These devices will be used for basic data communications, management, monitoring and control, and maintenance. The Company believes that it is well positioned to leverage its current products and technologies to take advantage of this market trend.

ACQUISITION

Effective April 1, 2005, the Company acquired FS Forth-Systeme GmbH and Sistemas Embebidos S.A. (collectively referred to as FS Forth) from Embedded Solutions AG of Germany. FS Forth is a provider of embedded modules, software and development services for the rapidly expanding embedded networking market. A payment of $4.4 million was made to Embedded Solutions AG on March 30, 2005. The effective date of the acquisition was April 1, 2005, therefore, the operations of FS Forth are not reflected

ACQUISITION (CONTINUED)

in the Company’s financial statements as of March 31, 2005 other than the $4.4 million which is presented as a deposit on business acquisition in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2005. The transaction will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and accordingly, the purchase price will be allocated to the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and is expected to be finalized in the fiscal third quarter (see Note 4 to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following table sets forth selected information derived from the Company’s interim condensed consolidated statements of operations expressed in dollars, as a percentage of net sales and as a percentage of change from period-to-period for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

N/M means not meaningful

NET SALES

Net sales for the three and six months ended March 31, 2005 were $29.3 million and $58.8 million compared to net sales of $27.3 million and $53.6 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2004. The Company’s net sales increased $2.0 million, or 7.2%, and $5.1 million, or 9.6%, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the same periods in the prior fiscal year. The increase in net sales in both the three and six month periods is the result of increased net sales of terminal server, USB, and device server products. The Company experienced a migration from asynchronous serial port mature products to terminal server, USB, and device server product lines, combined with a favorable change in product mix. The increase in net sales was augmented by new product introductions and enhancements in both of the Company’s business segments. The Company believes it is operating in a tighter economic environment due to a slowing in the economy and believes this had an impact on net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2005 and may continue to have an impact on net sales in the future. Fluctuation in foreign currency rates compared to the prior year’s rates also had a favorable impact on net sales of $0.2 million and $0.5 million in the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2005.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

NET SALES (CONTINUED)

The following tables set forth net sales by segment expressed in thousands of dollars and as a percentage of net sales:

Digi continued to enhance its channel strategy including employing additional channel partners. Connectivity Solutions net sales increased $0.9 million, or 5.0%, and $2.7 million, or 7.6%, in the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2005 compared to the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2004 due to an increase in sales of growth products within this segment.

Net sales generated by the Device Networking Solutions segment increased $1.1 million, or 11.7%, and $2.4 million, or 13.6%, in the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2005 compared to the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2004. The increase is primarily due to continued market penetration of the device server product line, the introduction and ramp up of new and recently introduced products and new customers reaching production volumes.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit margin for the three and six months ended March 31, 2005 was 61.3% and 61.7% compared to 60.5% and 60.8% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2004. The improved gross profit margin was primarily due to product mix, as well as increased manufacturing efficiencies.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Sales and marketing expenses for the three and six months ended March 31, 2005 were $6.4 million, or 21.9% of net sales, and $12.9 million, or 21.9% of net sales, compared to $6.4 million, or 23.5% of net sales, and $12.5 million, or 23.3% of net sales, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2004. The increase in sales and marketing expense for the six month period is primarily due to an increase in variable selling expenses resulting from increased sales.

Research and development expenses for the three and six months ended March 31, 2005 were $3.8 million, or 13.0% of net sales, and $8.1 million, or 13.7% of net sales, compared to $4.5 million, or 16.3% of net sales, and $9.0 million, or 16.7% of net sales, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2004. The decline in research and development was primarily due to the timing of expenses related to chip fabrication and testing. During the first six months of fiscal 2004 fabrication and testing expenses were incurred for chip projects that were in development. During the first six months of fiscal 2005, the development phase of these chips ended and they have been released to volume production.

General and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended March 31, 2005 were $3.6 million, or 12.1% of net sales, and $7.1 million, or 12.0% of net sales, compared to $3.2 million, or 11.8% of net sales, and $6.5 million, or 12.0% of net sales, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2004. The increase in general and administrative expense was primarily due to increased professional service expense including legal and Section 404 Sarbanes-Oxley related expenses.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

OTHER INCOME, NET

Other income, net was $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2005 compared to other expense, net of $6,000 and other income, net of $68,000 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2004. Interest income on marketable securities and cash and cash equivalents was $0.5 million and $0.8 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2005 compared to $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2004. The increase in interest income was due to higher average cash and marketable securities balances and higher average interest rates in fiscal 2005 compared to fiscal 2004. Other expense remained relatively flat between periods.

INCOME TAXES

Income taxes have been provided for at an effective rate of (33.7%) for the six month period ended March 31, 2005 compared to an effective rate of 29.0% for the six month period ended March 31, 2004. In February 2005, the Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation approved a settlement with the Internal Revenue Service on an audit of certain of the Company’s prior fiscal years income tax returns. The Company had established tax reserves in excess of the ultimate settled amounts. As a result, the Company has reversed $5.7 million of excess income tax reserves during the second quarter of fiscal 2005. This reversal was accounted for as a discrete event and resulted in an income tax benefit during the second fiscal quarter of 2005 of $5.7 million. The estimated annual effective rate for the six month period ended March 31, 2005, adjusted for the $5.7 million discrete event, would have been 31.0% and is lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 35.0% due to utilization of income tax credits and an exclusion of extraterritorial income and is higher than the effective rate of 29.0% for the six month period ended March 31, 2004 due to increased annualized pre-tax income.

The effective tax rate, excluding the $5.7 million discrete event, is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Management believes that excluding this one-time non-recurring item provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s effective tax rate in comparison to the U.S. statutory rate. The reconciliation of this measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure follows (in thousands):

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has financed its operations principally with funds generated from operations. At March 31, 2005, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities totaling $80.1 million compared to $79.2 million at September 30, 2004. The Company’s working capital increased $12.2 million to $94.3 million at March 31, 2005 compared to $82.1 million at September 30, 2004.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $4.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2005, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $7.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 2004. The decline in net cash provided by operating activities of $3.3 million between comparable six month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 is primarily the result of a payment of $3.2 million to the IRS in November 2004 due to the settlement on an audit of certain of the Company’s prior fiscal years income tax returns. Additionally, an increase in accounts receivable resulted in the use of $2.1 million of cash during the six months ended March 31, 2005 compared to a decrease of $1.2 million in accounts receivable during the same period one year ago. The change in accounts receivable related primarily to increased sales and the timing of sales in these respective periods. These increased uses of cash in the 2005 period were partially offset by an increase in net income for the six months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004.

Net cash used in investing activities was $10.2 million during the six months ended March 31, 2005, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $11.0 million during the same period a year ago. Net purchases of marketable securities were $5.5 million during the six months ended March 31, 2005 compared to net purchases of marketable securities of $8.6 million during the same period one year ago. On March 30, 2005, the Company paid $4.4 million for the April 1, 2005 acquisition of FS Forth. The Company used $2.0 million during the six month period ended March 31, 2004 for contingent purchase price payments related to the Inside Out Networks acquisition. Purchases of property, equipment, improvements and certain other intangible assets were $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Company anticipates total fiscal 2005 capital expenditures to approximate $1.0 million.

The Company generated $5.5 million from financing activities during the six months ended March 31, 2005, compared to $4.3 million during the same period a year ago as a result of proceeds from stock option and employee stock purchase plan transactions in each period, partially offset by the payment of all outstanding borrowings of $2.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2004.

The Company’s management believes that current financial resources, cash generated from operations and the Company’s potential capacity for additional debt and/or equity financing will be sufficient to fund current and future business needs.

The following summarizes the Company’s contractual obligations at March 31, 2005 (in thousands):

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED)

The lease obligations summarized above relate to various operating lease agreements for office space and equipment and have not been reduced by minimum sublease rentals of $0.1 million due in the future under non-cancelable subleases. The above table excludes up to $2.0 million of additional contingent purchase price payments related to the FS Forth acquisition of which $0.8 million and $1.2 million may be payable in fiscal 2006 and 2007, respectively.

RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS

In December 2004, the FASB issued FAS 123R which replaces FAS 123 and supersedes APB 25. This standard establishes standards for accounting for transactions in which equity instruments, such as stock options, are exchanged for goods or services. Under this statement, the Company must measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award and the cost must be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide the service (usually the vesting period). In April 2005 the SEC delayed the effective date of FAS 123R and as a result, the Company is required to adopt the provisions of this standard beginning October 1, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard. The Company expects that the standard will result in an increase in compensation expense which will result in a reduction to net income and net income per common share. The adoption of this standard is expected to have a material effect on the consolidated results of operations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

INTEREST RATE RISK

The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to the Company’s investment portfolio. Investments are made in accordance with the Company’s investment policy and consist of high grade commercial paper and corporate bonds. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge against interest rate risk as all investments are held to maturity and the majority of the Company’s investments mature in less than a year.

FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk associated with certain sales transactions being denominated in Euros or Japanese Yen and fluctuations of the Euro and Japanese Yen as the financial position and operating results of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. Dollars for consolidation. The Company has not implemented a hedging strategy to reduce foreign currency risk.

For the three and six months ended March 31, 2005, the Company had approximately $12.4 million and $24.4 million, respectively, of net sales to foreign customers including export sales, of which $3.8 million and $7.8 million, respectively, were denominated in foreign currency, predominantly the Euro. In future periods, a significant portion of foreign sales will continue to be made in Euros.

During the six months ended March 31, 2005, the average monthly exchange rate for the Euro to the U.S. Dollar increased by approximately 7.0% from 1.2191 to 1.3040 and the average monthly exchange rate for the Japanese Yen to the U.S. Dollar increased by approximately 2.2% from .0093 to .0095 for the comparable six month period ended March 31, 2004. A 10.0%

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK (CONTINUED)

change from the first six months of fiscal 2005 average exchange rate for the Euro and Yen to the U.S. Dollar would have resulted in a 1.3% increase or decrease in net sales and a 0.4% increase or decrease in stockholder’s equity for the six month period ended March 31, 2005. The above analysis does not take into consideration any pricing adjustments the Company may need to consider in response to changes in the exchange rate.

CREDIT RISK

The Company has some exposure to credit risk related to its accounts receivable portfolio. Exposure to credit risk is controlled through regular monitoring of customer financial status, credit limits and collaboration with sales management on customer contacts to facilitate payment.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
