MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
Yurie, founded in 1992, designs, manufactures, markets and services ATM
access products for telecommunications service providers, corporate end users
and government end users. The Company began developing ATM access products in
1994 and began product shipments in February 1995. Prior to 1995, the
Company's revenue was derived primarily from telecommunications consulting and
related services.
Today, the Company generates revenue primarily from the sale of the LDR200,
an ATM access product released in September 1996, and the LDR50, a related ATM
access product which was first shipped in March 1997. Yurie continues to
generate revenue from providing telecommunications and networking applications
consulting services, though these services generate an increasingly smaller
portion of total revenue. Since the release of the LDR100 in 1995, revenue
generated from the sale of the LDR products continues to represent an
increasingly larger portion of the Company's total revenue, and the Company
expects this trend to continue.
Yurie has entered into private-label partner agreements with Bay Networks
and Lucent Technologies. These agreements permit each of Bay and Lucent to
market and sell the Company's LDR products into commercial and government
markets for three years, subject to renewal. None of these agreements have
minimum purchase guarantees. Previously, under the AT&T Agreement, AT&T held
an exclusive license to sell Yurie's products in government markets, and was
required to make minimum purchases of $10 million for each of 1997 and 1998.
In response to the interest expressed by other parties to sell Yurie products
in both commercial and government markets, Yurie and AT&T amended the AT&T
Agreement on November 3, 1997; under this amendment, AT&T no longer has an
exclusive license to sell Yurie's products in government markets, nor is AT&T
required to make minimum annual purchases. In 1994, 1995 and 1996 and the nine
months ended September 30, 1997, sales to AT&T represented 52.4%, 71.8%, 87.0%
and 25.8%, respectively, of the Company's revenue. For the year ended December
31, 1996, the Company shipped a total of $8.3 million of LDR200s to AT&T, $1.8
million in excess of AT&T's 1996 purchase order guarantee for this product of
$6.5 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company
shipped to AT&T $7.4 million of LDR200s and LDR50s, a product with features
and functionalities similar to the LDR200. See "Business--Strategic
Relationships." In early 1998, the Company entered into a private-label
agreement with another telecommunications company. See "--Recent
Developments."
The Company has a significant customer relationship with Splitrock.
Splitrock purchased the Prodigy Network in 1997. During the first nine months
of 1997, Splitrock purchased $11.5 million of LDR products from the Company.
The Splitrock Agreement requires Splitrock to purchase a minimum of $20.0
million of LDR products from the Company in the period from July 1997 to
December 1998. Through September 30, 1997, Splitrock had purchased $6.6
million of LDR equipment pursuant to the agreement. Under the Splitrock
Agreement, Yurie provides services to support deployment and implementation of
Yurie's products in Splitrock's network on a time and materials basis. Kwok L.
Li, the Chief Technology Officer and Vice Chairman of the Board of Yurie, is
the majority shareholder and Chairman of the Board of Splitrock. See
"Business--Splitrock Relationship."
In 1995 and 1996, the Company generated non-recurring other revenue from
one-time fees earned under the technology evaluation portion of the AT&T
Agreement, which called for a total of $1.5 million to be earned over six
months beginning in August 1995. All product revenue arising from sales to
AT&T is presented net of the applicable discount. See "Business--Strategic
Relationships."
17
Revenue from the sale of Yurie's LDR product line is recognized upon
shipment or upon acceptance of the product depending on the terms of sale.
Revenue from the provision of telecommunications and networking applications
consulting services is recognized as the services are performed. Payments
received in advance of product delivery or the performance of services are
recorded as unearned revenue and recognized upon shipment of product or
performance of services by the Company. The LDR200 and LDR50 purchase price
includes a standard warranty on parts and service, which provides that the
product will be free from defects for a period of one year from the date of
shipment. The Company does not generate revenue from extended service
contracts at this time. The Company is currently considering whether to
provide extended service for the Company's products through a third party or
in-house.
Cost of product revenue consists primarily of the direct material, direct
labor and subcontract expenses associated with manufacturing and shipping the
Company's LDR products. This cost also includes a reserve for warranty
expenses. Cost of service revenue consists primarily of direct labor expenses
associated with providing the Company's telecommunications and networking
applications consulting services. The Company's other revenue has no
associated direct costs.
The Company's operating expenses are composed of research and development,
sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses. Research and
development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, as well as the cost
of materials, tools and other items associated with product development and
prototyping. All software development costs are included in research and
development expenses and have been expensed as incurred. Sales and marketing
expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, including commissions paid to
Company sales personnel, promotional costs and related operating expenses.
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs
associated with general management, finance, information technology and
administration, as well as occupancy, accounting, legal and other general
operating expenses.
In view of the Company's rapid revenue growth, the Company believes that
period-to-period comparisons of its financial results are not necessarily
meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of future
performance. In addition, the Company's results of operations may fluctuate
from period to period in the future.
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
Revenue. Total revenue for the third quarter of 1997 was $14.1 million,
compared with $6.2 million for the third quarter of 1996. This 125.8% increase
resulted primarily from an increase in sales of the Company's LDR products,
and particularly from increased product sales to the commercial marketplace.
Product revenue was $13.0 million during the 1997 period compared with $5.6
million during the 1996 period. Of this $13.0 million in product revenue,
99.6%, resulted from sales to commercial customers. There were no sales to
commercial customers in the third quarter of 1996. Of the $13.0 million in
product sales during the quarter ended September 30, 1997, $6.6 million were
made to SplitRock Services, Inc. An additional $2.4 million in revenue
resulted from product sales to Bay Networks under an OEM agreement. Service
revenue was $1.0 million in the third quarter of 1997 compared with $601,000
in the comparable quarter in 1996. During the third quarter of 1997, SplitRock
purchased $527,000 of services from the Company.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased to $8.7 million in the third quarter of
1997 from $3.7 million in the comparable 1996 period. Gross margins were 61.6%
and 59.2% during the 1997 and 1996 quarters, respectively. The increase in
gross margin was due largely to a decrease in product cost of goods sold, to
35.5% of product revenue in the 1997 quarter from 38.7% of product revenue in
the 1996 quarter. This reflects the spread of the fixed portion of direct
costs over a larger number of units, an increase in shipments of product to
commercial customers, and an increase in the number of higher margin software
features sold. Cost of service increased to 75.7% of service revenue in the
1997 quarter from 60.9% in the comparable 1996 period.
18
Research and Development. Research and development expenses were $2.0
million in the third quarter of 1997, compared with $1.0 million in the third
quarter of 1996. This increase was due primarily to the hiring of additional
engineering personnel and increased prototyping expenses related to the
development of the Company's LDR products. As a percentage of total revenue,
research and development expenses were 14.3% and 16.6% in the third quarters
of 1997 and 1996 respectively.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses were $1.4 million in the
third quarter of 1997, compared with $504,000 in the third quarter of 1996.
This increase resulted primarily from the hiring of sales and marketing
personnel to support generally, the Company's entry into the commercial
marketplace, and specifically, the release of the Company's LDR200 product. As
a percentage of total revenue, sales and marketing expenses were 9.9% and 8.1%
in the third quarters of 1997 and 1996 respectively.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses were $1.8
million in the third quarter of 1997 compared with $897,000 in the third
quarter of 1996. This increase was due primarily to higher personnel expenses
related to increased staffing in finance, information technology and
administration undertaken in support of the Company's growth. Also, in June
1996 and again in June 1997, the Company relocated its operations to larger,
leased facilities, resulting in higher occupancy costs in the 1997 period. As
a percentage of total revenue, general and administrative expenses were 12.7%
and 14.4% in the third quarters of 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes in the third
quarter of 1997 was $1.5 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 38.9%.
In the third quarter of 1996, the provision for income taxes was $504,000,
resulting in an effective tax rate of 40.0%.
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
Revenue. Total revenue for the first nine months of 1997 was $33.4 million,
compared with $15.0 million for the first nine months of 1996. This 121.8%
increase resulted primarily from an increase in sales of the Company's LDR
products, and particularly from increased product sales to the commercial
marketplace. Product revenue was $30.4 million during the 1997 period compared
with $13.0 million during the 1996 period. Of this $30.4 million in product
revenue, $23.3 million, or 76.7%, resulted from sales to commercial customers.
There were no sales to commercial customers in the first nine months of 1996.
Of the $30.4 million in product sales in the 1997 period, $11.5 million were
made to SplitRock Services, Inc. An additional $6.0 million in product revenue
resulted from sales to AT&T under the AT&T Agreement. In the first nine months
of 1996, 96.9% of product revenue resulted from sales to AT&T under the AT&T
Agreement.
Service revenue was $2.9 million in the first nine months of 1997 compared
with $1.6 million in the first nine months of 1996. This 79.6% increase was
attributable to growth in both the number and size of contracts with U.S.
government customers and government contractors. In addition, the Company had
service revenue totaling $527,000 during the first nine months of 1997 to
SplitRock. Other revenue in the first nine months of 1996 totaled $392,000,
coming from fees earned under the AT&T Agreement, which called for a total of
$1.5 million to be earned over the six months beginning in August 1995.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased to $20.2 million in the first nine
months of 1997 from $9.4 million in the comparable 1996 period. Gross margins
were 60.5% and 62.6% during the 1997 and 1996 periods, respectively. The
decline in gross margin was due to an increase in product cost of goods sold
to 36.2% of product revenue in the 1997 period from 34.8% of product revenue
in the 1996 period. This reflects the migration of the Company's cost
structure to a commercially sustainable model, both for commercial and
government market sales. The higher gross margin in the 1996 period was also
due to the inclusion of $392,000 in fees earned under an agreement with AT&T
which had no associated direct cost. Cost of service revenue increased to
73.9% of service revenue in the 1997 period, from 67.5% in the comparable 1996
period.
19
Research and Development. Research and development expenses were $5.3
million, or 16.0% of total revenue, in the first nine months of 1997, compared
with $2.4 million, or 15.8% of total revenue in the first nine months of 1996.
This increase was due primarily to the hiring of additional engineering
personnel and increased prototyping expenses related to the development of the
Company's LDR products.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses were $3.7 million, or
11.1% of total revenue, in the first nine months of 1997, compared with
$790,000, or 5.3% of total revenue, in the first nine months of 1996. This
increase resulted primarily from the hiring of sales and marketing personnel
to support generally, the Company's entry into the commercial marketplace, and
specifically, the release of the Company's LDR200 product.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses were $4.1
million or 12.4% of total revenue in the first nine months of 1997 compared
with $1.7 million or 11.5% of total revenue in the first nine months of 1996.
This increase was due primarily to higher personnel expenses related to
increased staffing in finance, information technology and administration
undertaken in support of the Company's growth. Also, in June 1996 and again in
June 1997, the Company relocated its operations to larger, leased facilities,
resulting in higher occupancy costs in the 1997 period.
Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes in the first nine
months of 1997 was $3.2 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 38.9%.
In the first nine months of 1996, the provision for income taxes was $1.8
million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 40.0%.
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 COMPARED WITH YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995
Revenue. Total revenue for 1996 was $21.6 million, compared with $6.0
million for 1995. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in sales
of the Company's LDR products. Product revenue was $18.7 million during 1996
compared with $2.9 million during 1995. The Company also experienced a 25.0%
increase in service revenue in 1996 compared to 1995, attributable to growth
in both the number and size of contracts with U.S. government customers and
government contractors. Other revenue in both periods came from fees earned
under the AT&T Agreement, which called for a total of $1.5 million to be
earned over the six months beginning in August 1995.
During 1996 and 1995, product sales to and service contracts with U.S.
government customers and government contractors comprised 96.3% and 100.0% of
total revenue, respectively. Sales to or through AT&T represented $17.4
million, or 92.9% of product revenue during 1996 compared with $1.6 million,
or 57.3% of product revenue during 1995. Sales to or through AT&T represented
87.0% and 71.8% of total revenue during 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased to $13.2 million in 1996 from $3.5
million in 1995. Gross margins were 61.0% and 57.9% during 1996 and 1995,
respectively. The improvement in gross margins was due primarily to the more
rapid growth in product revenue, which has a higher gross margin than the
Company's service revenue. During 1996, product gross margin was 63.8%
compared with service gross margin of 34.4%. During 1995, product gross margin
was 53.8% compared with service gross margin of 40.6%.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses were $3.8
million, or 17.8% of total revenue, in 1996, compared with $428,000 or 7.2% of
total revenue, in 1995. This increase was due primarily to the hiring of
additional engineering personnel and increased prototyping expenses related to
the development of the Company's LDR products.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses were $1.5 million, or 7.2%
of total revenue, in 1996. The Company incurred no sales and marketing
expenses in 1995. The expenses incurred during 1996 resulted from the hiring
of sales and marketing personnel to support the release of the Company's
20
LDR200 product, and the Company's entry into the telecommunications service
provider and corporate end user markets.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased to
$2.7 million in 1996 from $1.6 million in 1995. This increase was due
primarily to higher personnel expenses, related to increased staffing in
finance, information technology and administration undertaken in support of
the Company's growth. Also, on June 1, 1996, the Company began a phased
relocation of its operations to a larger, leased facility, resulting in higher
occupancy costs. As a percentage of total revenue, general and administrative
expenses were 12.5% and 26.6% in 1996 and 1995, respectively. The decrease as
a percent of total revenue between the two years was due to the Company's
significant increase in total revenue.
Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes in 1996 was $2.0
million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 39.2%. In 1995, the provision
was $561,000, resulting in an effective tax rate of 38.5%.
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 COMPARED WITH YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994
Revenue. Total revenue in 1995 was $6.0 million, compared with $1.1 million
in 1994. This increase was due primarily to three factors. The Company had
$2.9 million in revenue from product sales in 1995 compared with none in 1994.
Service revenue increased to $2.0 million in 1995 from $1.1 million in 1994 as
a result of growth in both the number and size of contracts with U.S.
government customers and government contractors. Also, the Company had $1.1
million of other revenue in 1995 from fees earned under the AT&T Agreement
compared with none in 1994.
During both 1995 and 1994, U.S. government customers and government
contractors comprised 100.0% of total revenue. Sales to or through AT&T
represented 57.3% of product revenue in 1995 and 71.8% and 52.4% of total 1995
and 1994 revenues, respectively.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased to $3.5 million in 1995 from $420,000
in 1994. Gross margins were 57.9% and 36.7% for 1995 and 1994, respectively.
The improvement in 1995 was due primarily to the commencement of product
sales, which have higher gross margins than the Company's service revenue. In
1995, product gross margin was 53.8% compared with service gross margin of
40.6%. In 1994, service gross margin was 36.7%.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses were $428,000,
or 7.2% of total revenue in 1995, compared with $40,000, or 3.5% of total
revenue, in 1994. The increase was due primarily to the hiring of additional
engineering personnel related to development of the Company's LDR product
line.
Sales and Marketing. The Company incurred no sales and marketing expenses
for either 1995 or 1994.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses were $1.6
million, or 26.6% of total revenue in 1995, compared with $219,000, or 19.2%
of total revenue, in 1994. Both the dollar amount and percent of total revenue
increases were due primarily to 1995 bonus payments totaling $1.1 million.
These bonuses were paid primarily to senior executives of the Company. The
Company also increased its personnel-related and general operating expenses in
support of its sales growth.
Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes in 1995 was
$561,000, resulting in an effective tax rate of 38.5%. In 1994, the provision
was $42,000, resulting in an effective tax rate of 25.6%. The lower effective
tax rate in 1994 was due primarily to the Company being in a lower tax bracket
and a net operating loss carryforward.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company finances its working capital and capital expenditure
requirements primarily from the proceeds from its February 1997 initial public
offering. At September 30, 1997, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of
$22.8 million, short term investments of $21.9 million and working capital of
$54.3 million. This compares to cash and cash equivalents of $3.2 million, no
short term investments and working capital of $7.0 million at December 31,
1996. The Company had no long term debt at either date. Interest receivable
increased by $302,000 reflecting the investment of proceeds from the Company's
February 1997 initial public offering. The Company provided collateral of $1.0
million for a letter of credit relating to its new headquarters facility which
will be reduced periodically until it terminates in December 1998. Accounts
payable and income taxes payable increased by $541,000 and $1.9 million,
respectively, from December 31, 1996. Accrued expenses increased by $2.1
million. The significant components of this increase were a $653,000 decrease
in deferred offering costs, a $1.3 million increase in warranty accrual, and a
$917,000 increase in accrued salaries and employee benefits. The Company
anticipates that the warranty accrual portion of accrued liabilities may
fluctuate significantly from period to period due to the timing of customer
upgrades and other warranty work.
Cash used in investing activities was $26.7 million for first nine months of
1997. Short term investments increased by $21.9 million from December 31, 1996
to September 30, 1997, resulting from the investment of certain proceeds of
the Company's initial public offering. An additional $4.8 million was used for
the purchase of property and equipment, primarily computer hardware and
software and assembly and test equipment.
Financing activities generated cash of $44.7 million in the first nine
months of 1997, reflecting primarily the receipt of proceeds, net of offering
costs, from the Company's February 1997 initial public offering, as well as
the exercise of certain employee stock options. The Company sold 4.0 million
shares of common stock at $12.00 per share in its February 1997 initial public
offering.
During the second quarter of 1997, Yurie entered into a lease to occupy, and
relocated its headquarters facility to, a 137,000 square foot facility located
at 8301 Professional Place, Landover, Maryland. This lease commenced on June
1, 1997 and expires on November 30, 2004, with an optional 5-year extension.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On December 1, 1997, Yurie acquired Data Labs in stock-for-stock merger.
Yurie issued 358,414 shares of its common stock in the Data Labs Merger in
exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of Data Labs and the Data
Labs common stock underlying all of the vested stock options and one-half of
the unvested stock options held by Data Labs directors, officers and
employees. The Data Labs Merger was treated as a pooling-of-interests for
financial reporting purposes.
On February 2, 1998, Yurie announced the signing of a three-year private-
label partner agreement with Ericsson. Under this agreement, Yurie granted
Ericsson a non-exclusive license to resell Yurie's LDR products worldwide
under the Ericsson name. Ericsson anticipates that it will provide systems
integration and equipment management services related to Yurie's products to
the Internet service providers to whom Ericsson will sell Yurie's equipment.
There are no minimum purchase guarantees under this agreement.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS--YURIE SUPPLEMENTAL
The following discussion of Results of Operations for Yurie is based on
financial data restated to give retroactive affect to the Data Labs Merger on
December 1, 1997, which was accounted for as a pooling of interest as if it
has occured at the beginning of Fiscal Year 1994.
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
Revenue. Total revenue for the third quarter of 1997 was $14.1 million,
compared with $6.2 million for the third quarter of 1996. This 125.8% increase
resulted primarily from an increase in sales of the Company's LDR products,
and particularly from increased product sales to the commercial marketplace.
Product revenue was $13.1 million during the 1997 period compared with $5.6
million during the 1996
23
period. Of this $13.1 million in product revenue, 99.6%, resulted from sales
to commercial customers. There were no sales to commercial customers in the
third quarter of 1996. Of the $13.1 million in product sales during the
quarter ended September 30, 1997, $6.6 million were made to SplitRock
Services, Inc. An additional $2.4 million in revenue resulted from product
sales to Bay Networks under an OEM agreement. Service revenue was $1.0 million
in the third quarter of 1997 compared with $614,000 in the comparable quarter
in 1996. During the third quarter of 1997, SplitRock purchased $527,000 of
services from the Company.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased to $8.7 million in the third quarter of
1997 from $3.7 million in the comparable 1996 period. Gross margins were 61.5%
and 59.2% during the 1997 and 1996 quarters, respectively. The increase in
gross margin was due largely to a decrease in product cost of goods sold, to
35.5% of product revenue in the 1997 quarter from 38.7% of product revenue in
the 1996 quarter. This reflects the spread of the fixed portion of direct
costs over a larger number of units, an increase in shipments of product to
commercial customers, and an increase in the number of higher margin software
features sold. Cost of service increased to 75.7% of service revenue in the
1997 quarter from 60.6% in the comparable 1996 period.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses were $2.3
million in the third quarter of 1997, compared with $1.1 million in the third
quarter of 1996. This increase was due primarily to the hiring of additional
engineering personnel and increased prototyping expenses related to the
development of the Company's LDR products. As a percentage of total revenue,
research and development expenses were 16.4% and 18.3% in the third quarters
of 1997 and 1996 respectively.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses were $1.7 million in the
third quarter of 1997, compared with $548,000 in the third quarter of 1996.
This increase resulted primarily from the hiring of sales and marketing
personnel to support generally, the Company's entry into the commercial
marketplace, and specifically, the release of the Company's LDR200 product. As
a percentage of total revenue, sales and marketing expenses were 12.1% and
8.8% in the third quarters of 1997 and 1996 respectively.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses were $2.1
million in the third quarter of 1997 compared with $971,000 in the third
quarter of 1996. This increase was due primarily to higher personnel expenses
related to increased staffing in finance, information technology and
administration undertaken in support of the Company's growth. Also, in June
1996 and again in June 1997, the Company relocated part of its operations to
larger, leased facilities, resulting in higher occupancy costs in the 1997
period. As a percentage of total revenue, general and administrative expenses
were 15.1% and 15.5% in the third quarters of 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes in the third
quarter of 1997 was $1.1 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 38.8%.
In the third quarter of 1996, the provision for income taxes was $420,000,
resulting in an effective tax rate of 40.2%.
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
Revenue. Total revenue for the first nine months of 1997 was $33.4 million,
compared with $15.1 million for the first nine months of 1996. This 121.9%
increase resulted primarily from an increase in sales of the Company's LDR
products, and particularly from increased product sales to the commercial
marketplace. Product revenue was $30.5 million during the 1997 period compared
with $13.0 million during the 1996 period. Of this $30.5 million in product
revenue, $23.3 million, or 76.7%, resulted from sales to commercial customers.
There were no sales to commercial customers in the first nine months of 1996.
Of the $30.5 million in product sales in the 1997 period, $11.5 million were
made to SplitRock Services, Inc. An additional $6.0 million in product revenue
resulted from sales to AT&T under the AT&T Agreement. In the first nine months
of 1996, 96.9% of product revenue resulted from sales to AT&T.
Service revenue was $2.9 million in the first nine months of 1997 compared
with $1.7 million in the first nine months of 1996. This 75.6% increase was
attributable to growth in both the number and size of
24
contracts with U.S. government customers and government contractors. In
addition, the Company had service revenue totaling $527,000 during the first
nine months of 1997 to SplitRock. Other revenue in the first nine months of
1996 totaled $392,000, coming from fees earned under the AT&T Agreement, which
called for a total of $1.5 million to be earned over the six months beginning
in August 1995.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased to $20.3 million in the first nine
months of 1997 from $9.4 million in the comparable 1996 period. Gross margins
were 60.7% and 62.5% during the 1997 and 1996 periods, respectively. The
decline in gross margin was due to an increase in product cost of goods sold
to 36.0% of product revenue in the 1997 period from 34.8% of product revenue
in the 1996 period. This reflects the migration of the Company's cost
structure to a commercially sustainable model, both for commercial and
government market sales. The higher gross margin in the 1996 period was also
due to the inclusion of $392,000 in fees earned under an agreement with AT&T
which had no associated direct cost. Cost of service revenue increased to
73.9% of service revenue in the 1997 period, from 67.1% in the comparable 1996
period.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses were $6.1
million, or 18.3% of total revenue, in the first nine months of 1997, compared
with $2.7 million, or 17.9% of total revenue in the first nine months of 1996.
This increase was due primarily to the hiring of additional engineering
personnel and increased prototyping expenses related to the development of the
Company's LDR products.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses were $4.4 million, or
13.3% of total revenue, in the first nine months of 1997, compared with
$920,000, or 6.1% of total revenue, in the first nine months of 1996. This
increase resulted primarily from the hiring of sales and marketing personnel
to support generally, the Company's entry into the commercial marketplace, and
specifically, the release of the Company's LDR200 product.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses were $4.7
million or 14.1% of total revenue in the first nine months of 1997 compared
with $2.0 million or 13.0% of total revenue in the first nine months of 1996.
This increase was due primarily to higher personnel expenses related to
increased staffing in finance, information technology and administration
undertaken in support of the Company's growth. Also, in June 1996 and again in
June 1997, the Company relocated part of its operations to larger, leased
facilities, resulting in higher occupancy costs in the 1997 period.
Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes in the first nine
months of 1997 was $2.4 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 38.9%.
In the first nine months of 1996, the provision for income taxes was $1.6
million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 40.2%.
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 COMPARED WITH YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995
Revenue. Total revenue for 1996 was $21.7 million, compared with $6.6
million for 1995. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in sales
of the Company's LDR products. Product revenue was $18.7 million during 1996
compared with $2.9 million during 1995. Service revenues were relatively flat
when comparing 1995 to 1996. Other revenue in both periods came from fees
earned under the AT&T Agreement, which called for a total of $1.5 million to
be earned over the six months beginning in August 1995.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased to $13.2 million in 1996 from $4.0
million in 1995. Gross margins were 60.9% and 59.8% during 1996 and 1995,
respectively. The improvement in gross margins was due primarily to the more
rapid growth in product revenue, which has a higher gross margin than the
Company's service revenue. During 1996, product gross margin was 63.7%
compared with service gross margin of 34.1%. During 1995, product gross margin
was 53.9% compared with service gross margin of 49.5%.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses were $4.4
million, or 20.4% of total revenue, in 1996, compared with $563,000 or 8.5% of
total revenue, in 1995. This increase was due primarily to the hiring of
additional engineering personnel and increased prototyping expenses related to
the development of the Company's LDR products.
25
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses were $1.9 million, or 8.7%
of total revenue, in 1996. The Company incurred virtually no sales and
marketing expenses in 1995. The expenses incurred during 1996 resulted from
the hiring of sales and marketing personnel to support the release of the
Company's LDR200 product, and the Company's entry into the telecommunications
service provider and corporate end user markets.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased to
$3.0 million in 1996 from $1.9 million in 1995. This increase was due
primarily to higher personnel expenses, related to increased staffing in
finance, information technology and administration undertaken in support of
the Company's growth. Also, on June 1, 1996, the Company began a phased
relocation of part of its operations to a larger, leased facility, resulting
in higher occupancy costs. As a percentage of total revenue, general and
administrative expenses were 13.8% and 28.8% in 1996 and 1995, respectively.
The decrease as a percent of total revenue between the two years was due to
the Company's significant increase in total revenue.
Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes in 1996 was $1.6
million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 39.2%. In 1995, the provision
was $575,000, resulting in an effective tax rate of 37.7%.
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 COMPARED WITH YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994
Revenue. Total revenue in 1995 was $6.6 million, compared with $1.3 million
in 1994. This increase was due primarily to three factors. The Company had
$2.9 million in revenue from product sales in 1995 compared with virtually
none in 1994. Service revenue increased to $2.6 million in 1995 from $1.3
million in 1994 as a result of growth in both the number and size of contracts
with U.S. government customers and government contractors. Also, the Company
had $1.1 million of other revenue in 1995 from fees earned under the AT&T
Agreement compared with none in 1994.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased to $4.0 million in 1995 from $557,000
in 1994. Gross margins were 59.8% and 43.0% for 1995 and 1994, respectively.
The improvement in 1995 was due primarily to the commencement of product
sales, which have higher gross margins than the Company's service revenue. In
1995, product gross margin was 53.9% compared with service gross margin of
43.8%. In 1994, service gross margin was 43.0%.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses were $562,000,
or 8.5% of total revenue in 1995, compared with $50,000, or 3.8% of total
revenue, in 1994. The increase was due primarily to the hiring of additional
engineering personnel related to development of the Company's LDR product
line.
Sales and Marketing. The Company incurred sales and marketing expenses of
$4,700 for 1995 and $22,300 for 1994.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses were $1.9
million, or 28.2% of total revenue in 1995, compared with $314,000, or 24.2%
of total revenue, in 1994. Both the dollar amount and percent of total revenue
increases were due primarily to 1995 bonus payments totaling $1.1 million.
These bonuses were paid primarily to senior executives of the Company. The
Company also increased its personnel-related and general operating expenses in
support of its sales growth.
Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes in 1995 was
$575,000, resulting in an effective tax rate of 37.7%. In 1994, the provision
was $43,000, resulting in an effective tax rate of 24.9%. The lower effective
tax rate in 1994 was due primarily to the Company being in a lower tax bracket
and a net operating loss carryforward.

BUSINESS
Yurie designs, manufactures, markets and services ATM access equipment for
telecommunications service providers, Internet service providers corporate end
users and government end users. ATM is a standard for packaging and switching
digital information that facilitates high speed information transmission with
a high degree of efficiency. End users of telecommunications services have
traditionally maintained separate WANs for transmitting voice, data, video and
other electronic information among geographically dispersed locations. ATM
technology is conducive to consolidating these networks. The network
consolidation brought about by employing ATM access platforms can provide
savings in WAN communications costs and simplify network management.
Yurie is a leading supplier of ATM access products. The Company's LDR100,
introduced in February 1995, was one of the first commercially available ATM
access products. The LDR200, designed primarily for telecommunications
carriers and Internet service providers, was released in September 1996. The
LDR50, designed for mid-size to large corporate offices, was released in March
1997. The Company designed its ATM access products to be flexible and
scaleable, so that customers can realize the benefits of ATM while preserving
their investments in existing equipment. The LDR products adhere to industry-
wide technical standards, allowing users to integrate the products into
current networks operating with other standards-compliant products. Yurie's
proprietary AQueMan algorithm allows the LDR products to reduce network
congestion while maintaining quality of service. The Company's LANET framing
protocol is capable of transporting ATM traffic over circuits of varying speed
and quality, including poor quality circuits. The Company's ATM access
products incorporate a variety of value-added features, including compact
size, scaleability, reliability and a broad variety of access interfaces.
The Company's strategy centers on maintaining its technological leadership,
developing the telecommunications service provider, private label partner and
corporate end user markets while continuing to pursue government end users,
developing international markets and building strategic relationships. To
enhance its distribution efforts and pursue the telecommunications service
provider, private label partners and corporate end user markets, the Company
has established a nationwide direct sales force which currently consists of 23
sales personnel.
To further this strategy, Yurie has entered into private-label partner
agreements with Bay Networks, Lucent Technologies and Ericsson. These
agreements permit each of Bay, Lucent and Ericsson to market and sell the
Company's LDR products into commercial and government markets for three years,
subject to renewal. None of these agreements have minimum purchase guarantees.
In 1995, Yurie and AT&T entered the AT&T Agreement pursuant to which Yurie
granted AT&T an exclusive license to sell Yurie products in government
markets, and with Yurie's consent, to certain commercial end users. AT&T also
agreed to certain minimum purchase guarantees. In response to the interest
expressed by other parties to sell Yurie products in both commercial and
government markets, Yurie and AT&T amended the AT&T Agreement on November 3,
1997; under this amendment, AT&T no longer has the exclusive right to market
and sell Yurie products in government markets. In addition, AT&T will no
longer be required to make its remaining minimum purchases of LDR products in
1997 and 1998 totaling approximately $14.0 million.
The Company has a significant customer relationship with Splitrock.
Splitrock purchased the Prodigy Network in 1997. The Splitrock Agreement
requires Splitrock to purchase a minimum of $20.0 million of LDR products from
the Company in the period from July 1997 to December 1998. Through September
30, 1997, Splitrock had purchased $6.6 million of LDR products from Yurie
under this agreement. Under the Splitrock Agreement, Yurie provides services
to support deployment and implementation of Yurie's products in Splitrock's
network on a time and materials basis. Kwok L. Li, the Chief Technology
Officer and Vice Chairman of the Board of Yurie, is the majority shareholder
and Chairman of the Board of Splitrock. See "Certain Transactions."
27
AT&T and Splitrock have also entered into agreements pursuant to which AT&T
network services will be provided to Splitrock. In conjunction therewith, AT&T
Credit Corporation will lease to Splitrock Yurie products, including Yurie
products previously sold to AT&T.
INDUSTRY BACKGROUND
Deregulation of the U.S. telecommunications industry, which began with the
breakup of AT&T in 1984, has triggered significant competition for the
provision of both long distance and local telecommunications services. The
Telecommunications Act of 1996 is likely to create even more competition over
the next few years. The international market has also experienced increased
deregulation, liberalization, privatization and the emergence of new wireline
and wireless alternatives to traditional carrier services. In this intensely
competitive environment, telecommunications service providers throughout the
world are seeking to differentiate themselves, in part, by offering enhanced
services based on new and emerging technologies.
Industry surveys show that both voice and data traffic are continuing to
expand. Businesses have increasingly deployed communications technology to
link remote sales offices, home offices, mobile offices and geographically
dispersed customers and suppliers. These businesses use increasingly powerful
computer technologies that enable new multimedia applications integrating
data, voice and video. The volume of network traffic has also grown
dramatically due to traffic on the Internet, a rapidly growing global web of
networks that permits users to communicate, share information and conduct
business throughout the world. Businesses demand telecommunications services
that provide significantly higher transmission capacity or bandwidth, the
flexibility to choose among services with varying bandwidths and the ability
to access communications services from remote locations.
Driven by this combination of increased demand and competition, WAN
technology has made significant advances. Current WAN technology permits users
in geographically dispersed locations to communicate. However, most existing
networks have had difficulty keeping pace with the increase in WAN traffic,
resulting in network congestion and related performance inefficiencies.
Today's Networking Technologies
Time division multiplexing ("TDM") and frame relay are the networking
technologies currently most widely deployed in WANs. TDM, which was one of the
first technologies developed to send traffic through circuits across a WAN,
operates by dedicating a circuit--or fixed amount of bandwidth--to each end
device. TDM's use of dedicated circuits provides high quality service for all
network traffic, whether data, voice or video. Since information is not
continuously transmitted, however, the dedicated circuits are often idle. This
results in inefficient use of expensive bandwidth and high cost to TDM network
users.
Frame relay was introduced in 1990 as a method of connecting local area
networks ("LANs") over WANs by using flexible bandwidth allocation to lower
the cost of transmission. Frame relay uses "packets" or "frames" to transmit
traffic, thereby allowing the same bandwidth to be shared by many users, each
using the bandwidth only for the time required to transmit a packet. Designed
primarily for data transmission, frame relay cannot guarantee the high quality
transmission of voice and video. Currently, frame relay is widely used to
transmit data over WANs, including the Internet. Due to the substantial
increase in data traffic over WANs, however, today's frame relay networks are
being used to transmit more traffic than they were designed to support,
resulting in network congestion.
To increase a frame relay network's switching capacity to meet increased
data demands and alleviate congestion, sophisticated software is required. To
run this software, the network must be upgraded with powerful, intelligent
processors. The costs of these high-end processors required to switch frame
relay
28
traffic at the speeds needed in today's data network backbones are very high.
Therefore, as data traffic increases, upgrading the frame relay network
becomes more costly and inefficient and ultimately impractical.
The Emergence of ATM as a Standard
Faced with the limitations of frame relay, telecommunications service
providers are installing ATM switches in the "backbones" of their existing
networks. ATM segments data, voice and video traffic into small, uniform-sized
"cells," rather than the larger, variable-size "packets" or "frames" used in
frame relay. The addition of ATM backbone switches upgrades a network's
performance by increasing switching capabilities at the network's core. ATM's
cell-based architecture increases bandwidth utilization and seeks to provide
consistent quality of service and predictability for all traffic types. ATM is
also an enabling technology, making possible new network applications such as
video distribution, medical imaging and collaborative computing, all of which
would be impractical with conventional network technologies.
ATM is the first standard protocol to permit reliable service for all
traffic types, allowing the consolidation of TDM and frame relay networks into
a single ATM network for data, voice and video. A single ATM network offers
the potential for economies of scale and streamlining of network operations.
ATM technology has been approved by both the ATM Forum, a group of equipment
manufacturers, telecommunications service providers and end users, and the ITU
as a standard in both the computer and telecommunications industries. The
standardization of ATM has allowed for compatibility of ATM equipment and
interoperability of ATM among a wide variety of interfaces and vendors, which
the Company believes will result in the widespread adoption of ATM.
Current Status of ATM
The U.S. government was among the first to deploy ATM technology. Its
initial decision to use ATM was motivated by its desire to consolidate many
discrete networks onto a single network, thus significantly reducing cost. The
U.S. government was able to deploy ATM across geographic boundaries because
ATM was quickly accepted as an international standard, and the government soon
discovered the effectiveness and efficiency of ATM as a global networking
technology.
Several telecommunications service providers began offering trial ATM
services in the early 1990s. These services were available only for high speed
traffic and at high prices and, therefore, made ATM attractive only to
"bandwidth hungry" users and limited ATM deployment within the providers'
networks. Driven by increasing competition and the rapid growth of data
traffic on frame relay systems, a number of telecommunications service
providers began deploying ATM for use in their network backbones to manage
heavy loads of user traffic and thereby relieve network congestion. Until
recently, providers have continued to install ATM primarily in their network
backbones and typically have not offered ATM service directly to end users.
End users have generally continued to use a costly mix of frame relay and TDM,
along with leased communications lines, to meet their data, voice and video
transport needs.
The major telecommunications service providers have announced plans to begin
offering ATM services directly to end users at prices competitive with similar
frame relay and TDM access services To utilize these direct ATM services, an
end user needs ATM access products either located at the local office of a
telecommunications service provider (in close proximity to the end user) or
deployed by the end user in its private network. Access products provide the
end user with network access through multiple network interfaces, traffic
concentration and data protocol translation.
ATM access products are well suited to provide efficient connectivity to ATM
networks, facilitate transmission of a variety of traffic types at varying
speeds and accommodate a mix of end user applications on a single network. In
addition, ATM access products have the potential to lower the cost to end
users
29
of transmitting data, voice and video communications. For these reasons, the
Company believes that ATM access products, over time, will supplant TDM and
frame relay access products in WANs.
THE CHALLENGES OF WIDESPREAD ATM ACCESS
Before telecommunications service providers and end users can fully deploy
ATM, several problems relating to the ATM access layer must be solved.
Quality of Service and Network Congestion
The architects of early ATM products focused almost exclusively on data
applications and did not fully implement ATM's traffic management capabilities
for voice and video. However, today's mixed-services environment demands
sophisticated traffic management to provide the level of bandwidth utilization
that makes a single ATM network more cost effective than separate voice and
data networks. An ATM network must be capable of delivering high quality
service for all traffic types, notwithstanding high levels of utilization.
Support for Limited Circuit Types
ATM was originally conceived for use only on high quality fiber optic
circuits (e.g., T3/E3, OC-3c and STM-1). At the access layer, however,
circuits come in all varieties, including wireless, copper and satellite. On
these circuits, quality may be affected by atmospheric conditions, interfering
transmissions or defects in the circuits themselves. Transmission on lower
quality or "noisy" circuits frequently results in uncorrectable errors and
corruption in the network. The inability of early ATM products to transmit
reliably over lower-quality circuits has limited the use of ATM to high
quality circuits, thereby limiting widespread ATM access.
Need for Additional Product Features
Early ATM access products did not meet the requirements of
telecommunications service providers and end users because they lacked
important features:
Size and Scaleability. Telecommunications service providers, who often
house thousands of pieces of equipment in their central offices, and end
users, who incur costs for each square foot of office space, place a
premium on space. To be attractive to telecommunications service providers
and end users, an ATM access product must offer the required functionality
in a compact package. At the same time, an access product must be scaleable
to permit telecommunications service providers and end users to upgrade
performance and capacity through minimal additions to existing equipment.
Early ATM access products were physically large relative to their
capacities.
Reliability. Service interruptions can be disastrous to
telecommunications service providers and end users, who need reliable
products designed for continuous utilization. Redundant features are
essential to the reliability of an access product. Early ATM access
products provided little redundancy, typically limited to power supply.
Products deployed to deliver public services or to carry mission-critical
traffic across a private network must offer multiple levels of redundancy
for a broad variety of features, including central processing unit, clock,
backplane and interface cards.
Access Interfaces. Early ATM access products generally did not interface
with a wide range of standard communications equipment, such as private
branch exchanges, video decoders, LAN routers, hubs and switches and IBM
SNA-based equipment. This limited the utility of these products because
users frequently employ a variety of non-ATM equipment.
THE YURIE SOLUTION
Yurie has developed ATM access products that are designed to meet the
challenges of widespread ATM deployment. These products are capable of
furnishing telecommunications service providers,
30
corporate end users and government end users with flexible, cost-effective and
reliable access to present and future ATM-based services. The Company's
product family includes the LDR100, released in February 1995; the LDR200,
released in September 1996; the LDR50, released in March 1997 and the LDR5
originally released by Data Labs. The LDR100, the LDR200 and the LDR50 have
been engineered with a set of Company-developed technologies designed to solve
the current problems of ATM access. These technologies include AQueMan, a
proprietary queuing algorithm designed to maximize bandwidth utilization while
preserving quality of service, and LANET, a robust framing protocol that
facilitates ATM deployment over low quality circuits. In addition, the LDR
products offer value-added features, such as compact size, scaleability and
reliability. The LDR200 and the LDR50 are both compatible with a wide range of
interfaces.
Quality of Service and Reduced Network Congestion
Yurie developed AQueMan to reduce network congestion while preserving
quality of service. AQueMan is a queuing algorithm that establishes separate
queues for time-sensitive traffic (typically voice) and loss-sensitive traffic
(typically data) and prioritizes traffic within these separate queues. This
technique reduces cell loss for loss-sensitive traffic and cell delay for
time-sensitive traffic, thereby allowing higher quality of service and more
optimal use of bandwidth. Time-sensitive cells are transmitted ahead of loss-
sensitive cells, but have a higher probability of being selectively deleted
during network congestion than loss-sensitive cells. In addition, when
comparing cells of the same traffic type (e.g., voice-to-voice or data-to-
data), AQueMan is able to ensure that more important time-sensitive traffic
will experience less delay and more important loss-sensitive traffic will have
a lower probability of being selectively deleted. With AQueMan, the LDR
products can meet the ATM Forum's quality of service standards for constant
bit rate, variable bit rate and unspecified bit rate traffic management even
during periods of network congestion. Through the use of AQueMan, Yurie's LDR
products substantially reduce the expense of sending information over a WAN by
achieving higher levels of bandwidth utilization.
Support for Many Circuit Types
Yurie developed LANET, a robust framing protocol that enables the transport
of ATM cells on any transmission medium, including low-speed and/or low-
quality circuits. LANET is particularly beneficial in wireless environments
(e.g., satellite, cellular and microwave), which often suffer from high bit
error rates and blocks of errors due to interfering transmissions or adverse
conditions such as inclement weather. LANET provides a framing structure that
allows ATM cells to be "multiplexed" into serial bit streams for transmission
over a single channel. This framing structure, which is scaleable to conform
to the transmission speed of the circuit, provides an embedded network
synchronization capability required for serving isochronous applications such
as voice and real-time video. LANET's simple framing structure makes the
required communication link synchronization relatively easy even in a noisy
environment. The Company's LDR products include a combination of LANET, Reed
Solomon forward error correction and error-tolerant addressing, which enable
the products to significantly increase the reliability of transmission of ATM
cells over noisy circuits.
Other Value-Added Product Features
Yurie's products incorporate a wide variety of value-added features,
including the following:
Size and Scaleability. The LDR products are compact and can be easily
upgraded. A single LDR200 platform occupies significantly less space than
early ATM access products and can be upgraded with minimal additional space
and at minimal cost. Also, because the LDR50 and the LDR200 support the
same I/O and server modules, customers whose configurations outgrow the
LDR50's four user slots can upgrade to the LDR200 (which has 11 or 15 user
slots, depending on chassis size) with minimal expense.
Reliability. Yurie's LDR200 satisfies a telecommunications service
providers' need for reliability, offering uninterrupted service through
comprehensive redundancy options, including power, central processing unit,
clock, backplane and interface cards.
31
Wide Variety of Access Interfaces. Yurie's ATM access products are built
to interface with a wide variety of standard communications equipment
including private branch exchanges, video decoders, LAN routers, hubs and
switches and IBM SNA-based equipment. In addition, the LDR product line is
designed to allow for the easy addition of new interfaces as they emerge.
STRATEGY
Yurie's objective is to remain a leading provider of ATM access equipment to
both telecommunications service providers and end users. The key elements of
Yurie's strategy are as follows:
Maintain Technology Leadership. Yurie is a leader in developing new
technology for the ATM access market. The Company's LANET framing protocol
was among the first technologies to facilitate ATM access at low speeds and
across noisy circuits. Yurie's AQueMan queuing algorithm was one of the
first to establish separate queues for voice and data and prioritize
traffic types within each queue to improve quality and maximize bandwidth
utilization. Yurie intends to continue to develop additional product
features and network interfaces while reducing production costs. Yurie
plans to continue to commit substantial resources to its active research
and development program so it can remain in the forefront of ATM product
development and maintain its position as a technology leader in the
emerging ATM access market.
Focus on ATM Access Solutions. Most ATM equipment suppliers have focused
on designing and marketing products that can be used as backbone switches
at major switching centers. Yurie, by contrast, has concentrated on
developing ATM access products which act as gateways for non-ATM equipment
and concentrators for lower speed ATM circuits. Yurie believes that by
continuing to focus on this market segment and developing cost effective
products designed specifically to provide ATM access, it can strengthen its
current market position.
Develop the Telecommunications Service Provider, Private Label Partner
and Corporate End User Markets. The Company has successfully marketed its
ATM access products to government end users and believes that the
government's demand for these products will increase. Yurie intends to
continue to market its products to the government through its strategic
relationship with AT&T. The Company believes, however, that the market for
ATM access products among telecommunications service providers, private
label partners and corporate end users has greater potential than the
government end user market. These customers should benefit greatly from an
ATM access platform that can combine voice, video and data on a single ATM
network. Yurie's LDR products are specifically designed to be attractive to
these customers because they can connect to a variety of standard central
office and customer premises equipment.
Yurie has implemented a sales and pricing strategy that targets both the
telecommunications service provider, private label partner and corporate
end user markets. The Company has signed three-year agreements with each of
Lucent Technologies, Bay Networks and Ericsson under which each of Lucent,
Bay and Ericsson may sell Yurie's LDR products under their respective
brands. The Company is also pursuing other private label agreements to
extend its coverage of the access market. In addition, the Company is
expanding its direct sales force, particularly in the geographic areas
where the telecommunications service provider, private label partner and
corporate end user markets are concentrated. This direct sales force is
currently comprised of 23 direct sales personnel who have all had prior
experience in commercial sales of networking and/or telecommunications
products.
Develop International Markets. Since ATM is an international standard,
Yurie believes that the potential market for its ATM access products is
global in scope. Yurie has begun to establish a sales and support
organization in Europe and Asia, and to develop the product features and
obtain the certifications required to pursue international markets. Yurie
believes that international sales may provide an increasing portion of its
revenues in the future.
32
Build and Leverage Strategic Relationships. Yurie has entered into
private-label agreements with each of Lucent Technologies, Bay Networks and
Ericsson under which each of Lucent, Bay and Ericsson may sell Yurie's LDR
products under their respective brands. The Company also has an agreement
with Splitrock. Under the Splitrock Agreement, Yurie has agreed to provide
the ATM equipment for Splitrock's network which was purchased for Prodigy.
The Company is actively seeking to establish similar relationships for
other markets with other telecommunications industry participants,
including equipment suppliers and telecommunications service providers. As
such relationships are established, Yurie intends to leverage its position
in the marketplace by using the marketing expertise, distribution network,
support capabilities and technologies of its strategic allies.
THE LDR PRODUCT FAMILY AND SUPPORTING SERVICES
Yurie's LDR family of ATM access products includes the LDR200, the LDR50,
the LDR5 and the LDR100. All of Yurie's LDR products are based on an ATM
"cell" architecture that allows flexible transmission of all traffic types.
The following table provides an overview of the Company's current LDR
products:
NUMBER OF BUS
PLATFORM USER SLOTS BANDWIDTH DIMENSIONS
-------- ---------- ---------- ----------
LDR200 (15" or 73").......... 11 or 15 1.2 Gbps 7H X 10.5D X 19W or 23W
LDR50........................ 4 600 Mbps 5.25 H X 10.25D X 19W
LDR5......................... 2 1.544 Mbps 3.5H X 10D X 19W
The LDR200
Yurie's second generation product, the LDR200, was first shipped in
September 1996. The LDR200 is designed to be easily deployed by
telecommunications service providers, corporate end users and government end
users. The LDR200 incorporates AQueMan and LANET, along with Reed Solomon
forward error correction, an industry standard method of detecting and
correcting transmission errors, and an error-tolerant addressing scheme that
ensures highly reliable communication over circuits of varying speeds and
quality. In addition, the LDR200 expands the capabilities of the Company's
first generation LDR product by offering higher throughput, greater port
density, a greater variety of interface types, enhanced scaleability and
higher speed.
The LDR200, which comes in a 19^ or 23^ chassis, has a bus bandwidth of 1.2
gigabits per second and is scaleable up to 11 or 15 interface module slots,
depending on chassis size. It also provides enhanced reliability, offering
redundancy for the power, central processing unit, clock, backplane and
interface cards. The LDR200 conforms to carrier equipment installation
requirements, such as Bellcore's Network Equipment Building Standards (NEBS).
Additionally, the LDR200 complies with the ATM Forum's User Network Interface
standard and the IISP 1.0 network/network interface standards, providing
connectivity and interoperability with ATM backbone switches.
Currently, the LDR200 supports high-speed WAN connections via DS3 and OC3c
for the North American marketplace and via E3 and STM-1 for the International
Marketplace. It uses DSI and E1 cards to support structured and unstructured
service in compliance with ATM forum's circuit emulation specification as well
as ATM cell-bearing and frame relay capabilities. The system also offers OC3-
c, High Speed, Ethernet, TAXI, and analog voice interfaces and a DPSI server
card, which provides voice compression, echo cancellation, and silence
suppression capabilities. The Company plans to introduce other interface and
server cards in the future.
The current version of the LDR200 contains most of the features included in
the earlier LDR100, and the Company is in the process of developing the LDR200
to include all of the LDR100's attributes, along
33
with additional value-added features. The Company intends to phase out the
LDR100 when the LDR200 development is completed but will continue to provide
service support for the LDR100 product.
The LDR50
Yurie's LDR50, which started shipping in March 1997, was designed to provide
access to ATM services for mid-sized to large corporate offices. Like the
LDR200, the LDR50 incorporates AQueMan and LANET, and contains most of the
features included in the LDR100.
The LDR50 has a bus bandwidth of 600 megabits per second and is scaleable up
to 4 interface module slots supporting up to 32 ports, depending on
configuration. The LDR50 provides PVC support for ATM Forum UNI 3.0 and UNI
3.1 standard signaling and thus can interoperate with ATM equipment from other
manufacturers. Because the LDR50 supports the same I/O and server modules as
the LDR200, sites that outgrow the smaller system can easily upgrade to the
LDR200. The LDR50 currently supports all the standard network and user
interfaces supported on the LDR200.
The LDR50's 19^ x 10.25^ x 5.25^ chassis can be wall mounted, secured in a
standard 19 telco rack, or fitted for table-top use.
The LDR5
The LDR5 is an ATM access device that features full "CSU/DSU" capabilities,
thereby allowing frame relay and TDM equipment to interface with an ATM
network. The LDR5 offers low-cost ATM access for standard customer premises
equipment. It is designed for use in branch offices and other settings that do
not require the more sophisticated LDR200 or the LDR50 access products. The
LDR5 enables the Company to offer a full range of ATM access products.
The LDR100
Yurie's first access product, the LDR100, was originally built as a
prototype to demonstrate the AQueMan queuing algorithm and the LANET framing
protocol. The LDR100 was designed to meet the needs of highly technical users.
Beginning in 1995, the LDR100 was delivered, through AT&T, to a variety of
U.S. government agencies and their support contractors for deployment in
mission-critical environments, including the U.S. military operations in Haiti
and Bosnia. In addition to ships, aircraft and ground vehicles, the LDR100 has
been deployed in centralized locations, such as telecommunications equipment
closets and desktops.
The LDR100, with a bus bandwidth of 64 megabits per second, aggregates high
speed ATM LAN traffic and non-ATM voice and data traffic onto a low-speed ATM
WAN. Where bandwidth utilization is especially critical, the LDR100 compresses
voice prior to transmission over the WAN. To further ensure quality over a
wide variety of circuit types, the LDR100 employs Reed Solomon forward error
correction, and a simple error-tolerant addressing scheme. The Company has
shipped more than 150 LDR100 access concentrators since February 1995.
Product Management Protocol; Pricing
Each of the Company's LDR products can be managed using any software package
supported by the Simple Network Management Protocol ("SNMP"), such as HP
OpenView and SunNet Manager. The LDR200 and LDR50 can also be managed using a
simple "dumb" terminal interface.
The LDR200 product sells for prices ranging from $35,000 to $135,000, the
LDR50 from $20,000 to $40,000 and the LDR5's price ranges from $5,000 to
$10,000. Actual price depends on the configuration of the product selected.
34
Product Support
The Company offers comprehensive customer support for its LDR product line.
The Company's service organization offers installation, preventative
maintenance, multi-vendor services, repair, training and a variety of other
advanced services designed to enhance the reliability of a customer's
telecommunications network. The LDR200 and the LDR50 are sold with a standard
one-year warranty. The Company's customer support representatives are located
in Landover, Maryland and currently are available from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Eastern time, Monday through Friday. At other times, the Company's customer
support representatives can page an on-call technical support person to
respond to technical support requests. In the future, the Company expects to
offer extended service for the Company's products that will be available 24
hours a day, seven days a week. The Company is currently considering whether
this service will be provided by a third party or in-house.
STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIPS
Yurie has entered into private-label partner agreements with Bay Networks,
Lucent Technologies and Ericsson. These agreements permit each of Bay, Lucent
and Ericsson to market and sell the Company's LDR products into commercial and
government markets for three years. subject to renewal. None of these
agreements have minimum purchase guarantees. In 1995, Yurie and AT&T entered
the AT&T Agreement pursuant to which Yurie granted AT&T the exclusive right to
market and sell the LDR100 and the LDR200, including future designs, upgrades
features and functionalities, in U.S. federal, state and local government
markets, as well as certain foreign government markets, through December 1998.
AT&T also agreed to certain minimum purchase guarantees at that time. In
response to the interest expressed by other parties to sell Yurie products,
Yurie and AT&T amended the AT&T Agreement on November 3, 1997. As a result of
these amendments, AT&T no longer has an exclusive license to market and sell
Yurie products in government markets. In addition, AT&T will no longer be
required to make its remaining minimum purchases of LDR products in 1997 and
1998 totaling approximately $14.0 million.
SPLITROCK RELATIONSHIP
The Company has a significant customer relationship with Splitrock, a Texas
corporation that provides communications services specifically configured to
meet the needs of large network users. Splitrock purchased the Prodigy Network
in 1997. The Splitrock Agreement between Yurie and Splitrock requires
Splitrock to purchase a minimum of $20.0 million of LDR products from the
Company in the period from July 1997 to December 1998. Through September 30,
1997, Splitrock had purchased $6.6 million of LDR products from Yurie under
this agreement. Under the Splitrock Agreement, Yurie provides services to
support deployment and implementation of Yurie's products in Splitrock's
network on a time and materials basis. Kwok L. Li, the Chief Technology
Officer and Vice Chairman of the Board of Yurie, is the majority shareholder
and Chairman of the Board of Splitrock. See "Certain Transactions."
AT&T and Splitrock have also entered into agreements pursuant to which AT&T
network services will be provided to Splitrock. In conjunction therewith, AT&T
Credit Corporation will lease to Splitrock Yurie products, including Yurie
products previously sold to AT&T.
CUSTOMERS AND END USERS
The Company markets and sells its products to telecommunication service
providers, Internet service providers, corporate end users and government end
users. The principal end users of Yurie's ATM access products have
historically been U.S. government agencies and their support contractors. The
Company has recently begun to obtain purchase orders from commercial
customers. In the quarter ended December 31, 1996, 14.0% of the Company's
product sales were to commercial customers. In the quarter ended September 30,
1997, 99.6% of the Company's product revenue resulted from sales
35
to commercial customers. Among the more than 30 government organizations and
commercial customers that have purchased or used or have agreed to purchase
the Company's products are:
Advanced Research Project Agency/Defense
Information Mitre Corporation
Systems Agency Joint Program Office Booz-Allen & Hamilton, Inc.
U.S. Army Communications Electronics
Command Applied Innovation, Inc.
Defense Aerospace Reconnaissance
Organization Oneline Management, Inc.
North Atlantic Treaty Organization Lunex Group, LLC
Naval Research Laboratory K-NET Ltd.
Los Angeles Department of Water & Power Government of Canada, Communications
Lucent Technologies Research Center
Splitrock Services, Inc. Ericsson, Inc.
Bay Networks, Inc. Kyung-In
Although there are more than 30 end users of Yurie's products, the Company's
customer base is highly concentrated and a small number of customers has
accounted for a significant portion of the Company's total revenue in recent
years. Sales to AT&T, either for its own use or for resale to government
agencies or their support contractors, accounted for 52.4%, 71.8%, 87.0% and
25.8% of the Company's total revenues in 1994, 1995, 1996 and the nine months
ended September 30, 1997. Sales to Splitrock accounted for approximately 34.5%
of the Company's total revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 1997.
See "Certain Transactions." The Company continues to expand its sales and
marketing efforts to telecommunications service providers and corporate end
users.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The Company's objective is to be a leader in developing new technology for
the ATM access market. The Company has established an active research and
development program that is focused on the development of new and enhanced
products using ATM technology. In particular, the Company's research and
development team is seeking to expand the capabilities of the LDR200's and
LDR50's interface modules, develop new server modules (such as primary rate
ISDN and voice compression), expand network management capabilities and
enhance service interworking capabilities. The Company actively solicits
product development ideas from telecommunications service providers and end
users of the Company's products, and develops additional ideas through
participation in industry organizations and international standards bodies
such as the ITU and ATM Forum.
During 1994, 1995, 1996 and the nine months ended September 30, 1997, total
research and development expenditures were $40,000, $428,000, $3.8 million and
$5.3 million, respectively. The Company expects its future research and
development expenditures will grow commensurately with its revenue growth.
Approximately 109 Company employees were engaged in research and development
programs, including hardware and software development, test and engineering
support personnel as of January 30, 1998. The majority of these employees
currently are located in the Company's Landover, Maryland headquarters. The
Company has recently opened a research and development facility in Alameda,
California. Approximately two-thirds of the Company's research and development
employees hold masters or higher degrees. The Company believes that recruiting
and retaining qualified engineering personnel will be essential to its
continuing success.
SALES, MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION
In order to pursue customers in the telecommunications service provider and
corporate end user markets, the Company has expanded its direct sales force by
hiring sales personnel who have all had experience in commercial sales of
networking and/or telecommunications products. As of January 30, 1998, the
Company had 23 sales personnel in its direct sales organization. Domestic
sales offices are located in New York, Phoenix, San Francisco, Los Angeles,
Hartford, Chicago, Dallas, Boston, Tampa,
36
Atlanta and Landover, MD. In 1997, sales offices were also opened in Aubrey,
Texas; Wyndham, New Hampshire; Richardson, Texas; Buffalo Grove, Illinois; as
well as Linden and Berkeley Heights, New Jersey. All of these offices, except
the office in Landover, MD, are currently located in the homes of sales
people. In 1997, the Company opened a marketing and technical support office
in Korea and maintained a sales office in the United Kingdom.
Direct Sales
The Company continues to expand its direct sales force to market the
Company's products and to ensure direct contact with its customers and private
label partners. The primary roles of the Company's sales force are (i) to
provide support to commercial customers and seek additional strategic
partners, (ii) to support end users by addressing complex ATM access problems
and (iii) to differentiate the features and capabilities of the Company's LDR
products from competitive products. In addition, the Company believes that its
investment in a direct sales force will help the Company to monitor changing
customer requirements, competing products and the development of industry
standards.
Yurie's 23-person direct sales force includes both sales persons and sales
engineers. Sales engineers provide support and services for the Company's
sales persons and for existing customers. Most of the members of the direct
sales force have had significant prior experience in sales with industry-
leading networking companies. Members of Yurie's sales team have had an
average of 10 years of sales experience, and many of the sales persons have
had experience selling and managing end user, telecommunications service
provider and strategic private label accounts.
Marketing
The Company has recently established a marketing program to support the sale
and distribution of its products. The objective of this program is to inform
potential strategic allies and end users about the capabilities and benefits
of the Company's products. The marketing program includes participation in
industry trade shows and technical conferences, technology seminars,
publication of customer newsletters and technical and educational articles for
the trade press and other industry journals. In addition, the Company
communicates frequently with its installed base of end users regarding
evolving applications for the Company's products.
MANUFACTURING AND SUPPLIERS
The Company's manufacturing operations consist primarily of materials
planning and procurement, test and manufacturing engineering, module testing
and quality control. Yurie relies on three manufacturers, Sanmina Corporation,
Teledyne Electronic Technologies and Kuchera Industries, Inc. to manufacture
the majority of its common equipment circuit packs, backplanes, chassis and
printed circuit board assemblies used in the Company's products. Yurie does
not have a contract with these or any other manufacturer, and all of the
Company's products are manufactured pursuant to individual purchase orders.
The Company believes that its orders do not represent a significant portion of
these subcontract manufacturers' total business. In the past, Yurie has also
used several other manufacturers as supplemental sources for backplanes,
chassis and printed circuit boards, and may use these manufacturers in the
future as necessary. The Company believes that its strategy of using
subcontract manufacturers has increased its flexibility and responsiveness to
changes, as it is in a better position to reduce product costs, acquire
additional capacity and reduce its capital investment. It is, however,
currently relying on a limited number of manufacturers, and if one or more of
these manufacturers should experience quality or other problems, such problems
could result in delays in product shipments by the Company.
Final testing of the Company's products is performed by the Company at its
Landover, Maryland facility. All products are rigorously tested using
automated test equipment prior to shipment to customers. All circuit boards
are tested individually. As each customer's network requires different product
features to provide the desired functionality, the products are not assembled
into complete units prior to shipment. Each feature is packaged and shipped
separately to the customers, who use instructions provided by Yurie
37
to configure the products at their locations. Yurie warrants all of its
products to be free from defects for a period of one year from the date of
shipment.
Generally, the Company uses industry standard components for its access
products. It uses field programmable gate arrays with erasable programmable
memory rather than custom integrated circuits in order to maximize its ability
to customize products quickly for telecommunications service providers and add
product features. Certain components used in the Company's products, including
microprocessors and communications chips manufactured by PMC-Sierra, Inc.,
Hewlett-Packard Company, Integrated Device Technology, Inc., Xilinx, Inc.,
Texas Instruments, Analog Devices and Altera Corporation, are currently
available from only one supplier In the past, there have been shortages of
certain of these components because of vendor production problems and the
inability of suppliers to increase delivery rates. In addition, the Company
has experienced shortages of certain other key components. These component
shortages and delays have resulted in delays in the shipment of the Company's
products, and the component shortages have also resulted in higher component
costs. When these components are in short supply, Yurie must compete for them
with larger companies that often have longer established relationships with
these vendors. Certain components that currently are readily available may
become difficult to obtain in the future.
COMPETITION
While the market for ATM access products is still evolving, the networking
industry as a whole is intensely competitive. Among the companies who have
already produced ATM access products are ADC Kentrox and 3Com. In addition,
Ascend Communications has developed an ATM access product. Other companies,
including Cisco Systems/StrataCom, Nortel, General DataComm, Digital Link,
Fore Systems and Newbridge Networks, have already developed networking
equipment that may be competitive with the Company's products. The Company
expects that some of these companies and other networking and computer systems
companies may in the future announce plans to develop ATM access products that
are directly competitive with the Company's products.
The Company does not intend to compete solely on the basis of price.
Instead, it intends to compete by offering superior features, performance,
reliability and flexibility at competitive prices. Yurie's management is
adopting this strategy because equipment price is only one component in
overall communications costs. WAN bandwidth and network operating expenses
generally exceed the total cost of the network equipment for a typical
customer.
As competition in the ATM access market increases, the Company believes that
the ATM access industry may be characterized by the intense price competition
similar to that present in the broader networking market. In response to this,
the Company has already implemented cost improvement measures and will
continue to seek ways to improve upon the LDR products' price-to-performance
ratio.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND TECHNICAL KNOW HOW
The Company believes that its future success depends, in part, upon its
ability to develop and protect proprietary technology contained in its
products. The Company currently relies upon a combination of trade secret,
copyright, patent and trademark laws, as well as contractual restrictions, to
establish and protect proprietary rights in its products. The Company also has
entered into nondisclosure, noncompete and invention assignment agreements
with substantially all of its employees and nondisclosure agreements with
certain of its suppliers, distributors and customers so as to limit access to
and disclosure of its proprietary information. There can be no assurance that
these statutory and contractual arrangements will prove sufficient to deter
misappropriation of the Company's technologies or independent third-party
development of similar technologies. The Company also possesses and relies
upon a valuable body of technical know how related to the design and operation
of its products.
38
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has issued U.S. Patent No. 5,568,482 to
the Company for its LANET protocol. LANET is a significant technological
invention that allows ATM to run over transmission media of any speed or
quality. The Company intends to provide the technology covered by the LANET
patent at no cost to the public because it believes that making the LANET
technology freely available to the public would have greater benefits than
licensing the technology to third parties or preserving the technology solely
for its own use. The Company, however, retains its patent rights in the LANET
technology, although third parties are free to use the technology in
unmodified form for their own purposes. The Company anticipates that making
LANET available at no cost to the public will create demand for and facilitate
widespread use of LANET and increase name recognition for Yurie as the
developer of LANET.
Two additional patent applications have been filed for (i) the AQueMan
algorithm developed by the Company to regulate and prioritize the flow of
traffic in ATM access products and (ii) error-tolerant addressing to enhance
the ability to transport ATM cells over noisy links (e.g., wireless circuits).
The Company intends to file another patent application for a method to
simplify authentication and key exchange in the establishment of secure links.
The Company does not now intend to make any of the technologies described in
these patent applications available to the public at no cost. There can be no
assurance that the Company's patent applications will result in issued patents
or that the Company's existing patent or future patents will be upheld as
valid or prevent the development of competitive products. The failure of the
Company to obtain a patent for AQueMan, or to be granted patents for any of
its other Company-developed technologies, could have a material adverse effect
on the Company's business and its growth prospects.
FACILITIES
The Company's principal offices are located in a 137,000 square foot
facility leased by the Company at 8301 Professional Place, Landover, MD 20785-
2237 (a suburb of Washington, DC). Approximately 40% of the space in this
facility is used or reserved for manufacturing, product development and
testing; the balance is used or reserved for sales, marketing and other
general and administrative activities.
The Company also leases 6,000 square feet of space for a research and
development facility at 2020 Challenger Drive, Suite 101, Alameda, California
and approximately 5,443 square feet in Atlanta, Georgia. Yurie believes that
its present facilities are well maintained and in good operating condition,
although additional facilities may be needed to meet anticipated levels of
operations in the foreseeable future.
EMPLOYEES
On January 30, 1998, Yurie employed 238 individuals on a full-time
equivalent basis. Of these, 86 were involved in engineering, 23 were working
in applications engineering in the federal division, 48 were employed in
sales, marketing and customer support, 48 were engaged in operations and
manufacturing and the remaining 33 were devoted to administration, finance and
strategic planning. The Company considers its relations with its employees to
be good and has not experienced any interruption of operations as a result of
labor disagreements, nor are there any collective bargaining agreements in
place.

44
STOCK OPTION PLAN
Under the Company's Stock Option Plan, stock option awards may be made to
employees, consultants, directors and officers of the Company. The purposes of
the Stock Option Plan are to attract, retain and motivate the best available
officers (executive or otherwise), other employees and consultants for
positions of substantial responsibility, to give such officers, employees and
consultants a greater personal stake in the success of the Company's business,
to provide additional incentive to the Company's officers and employees to
continue and advance in their employment and service to the Company and to
promote the success of the Company's business.
The Stock Option Plan was adopted by the Company's Board of Directors on
January 31, 1996 and amended and restated on May 14, 1997 to increase the
maximum number of shares issuable under the Stock Option Plan. The Company's
shareholders approved the amended and restated Stock Option Plan on June 26,
1997. A total of 7.0 million shares have been reserved for issuance under the
Stock Option Plan, 27,233 of which may be issued under the Data Labs Plan
described below. The Stock Option Plan will remain effective until all shares
available for issuance under the Plan have been issued, unless sooner
terminated by action of the Board of Directors. The number and kind of shares
subject to the Stock Option Plan may be adjusted by the Board to prevent
dilution or enlargement of rights in the event of a merger, consolidation,
sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, reorganization,
reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other
similar distribution with respect to the outstanding shares of common stock.
No individual may be granted options to purchase more than 1,500,000 shares of
common stock in any year under the Stock Option Plan. An additional amendment
to the Stock Option Plan, adopted by the Board of Directors on July 30, 1997,
provides that stock options granted pursuant to the Stock Option Plan are
transferable to members of the option holder's "immediate family" (as defined
in the Stock Option Plan), subject to the terms and conditions of the Stock
Option Plan.
The Stock Option Plan is administered by the Board of Directors, although
the Board is in some cases authorized (and in some cases required) to delegate
the administration of the Stock Option Plan to a committee. The Board (or the
committee) is authorized to modify or amend the Stock Option Plan at any time.
The Board (or the committee) is further authorized to select the optionees and
determine the terms of the options granted, including: (i) the number of
shares subject to each option; (ii) when the option becomes exercisable; (iii)
the duration of the option and (iv) any other appropriate term of the option
agreement. The Board (or the committee) also may accelerate or extend the time
at which any option may be exercised. The Stock Option Plan requires that the
exercise price of each option be set at the fair market value of the common
stock on the effective date of the grant.
The Stock Option Plan provides for automatic annual grants to independent
directors of 5,000 stock options on June 30 of each year beginning on June 30,
1997. In addition, the Board (or the committee) may grant options to incoming
directors upon their agreement to serve on the Board. The Stock Option Plan
also provides that in the event of a transaction that constitutes a Change of
Control (as defined in the Plan) of the Company, each outstanding option will
automatically become exercisable as to all of the option shares immediately
prior to the effective date of such transaction, subject to certain
exceptions.
As of December 31, 1997, options to acquire an aggregate of 5,622,229 shares
of common stock were outstanding pursuant to the Stock Option Plan (net of
canceled options) and 992,171 shares remained for future grants. In general,
these options vest over a four-year period from their grant date and expire
after a specified period not to exceed ten years. Neither Dr. Kim nor Mr. Li
hold any options to purchase shares of common stock under the Stock Option
Plan. Other executive officers and directors have been granted options to
purchase shares under the Stock Option Plan as of December 31, 1997 as
follows: Harry J. Carr--1,000,000 shares, Barton Y. Shigemura--1,000,000
shares; Harry J. D'Andrea--150,000 shares; John J. McDonnell--30,000 shares;
Herbert Rabin--126,000 shares; R. James Woolsey--105,000 shares; Kenneth D.
Brody--80,000 shares; and William J. Perry--80,000 shares. These options have
exercise prices ranging from $.52 to $17.06 per share and a weighted average
exercise price of $4.84. All of these options vest periodically through June
2001.
45
The options granted under the Stock Option Plan are not incentive stock
options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code.
DATA LABS PLAN
Pursuant to the Data Labs Merger Agreement, all of the outstanding stock
options awarded under the Data Labs Plan as of the date of the Data Labs
Merger (the "Data Labs Options") were converted into options to purchase
common stock of Yurie, with appropriate adjustments to the exercise price and
number of shares subject to each option to reflect the ratio at which the
shares of Data Labs common stock, par value $.01, were converted to shares of
Yurie common stock pursuant to the Data Labs Merger. Each Data Labs Option
outstanding under the Data Labs Plan as of the effective date of the Data Labs
Merger, December 1, 1997, continues to be governed by and subject to the terms
of the Data Labs Plan, although no more options will be granted under the Data
Labs Plan.
As of December 31, 1997, options to purchase a total of 27,233 shares of
Yurie common stock had been issued under the Data Labs Plan. All of the Data
Labs Options expire in July, 2006, except for those granted to Mr. Wenli Yu
which expire on July 2, 2001. All options granted under the Data Labs Plan
have vested and have exercise prices of $3.41 per share, except for those
awarded to Mr. Wenli Yu which have an exercise price of $3.75 per share.
STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
In December 1996, the Board of Directors and the stockholders of the Company
approved the adoption of the Yurie Systems, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan
(the "Stock Purchase Plan"). A total of 200,000 shares of common stock have
been reserved for issuance under the Stock Purchase Plan. Employees of the
Company will be eligible to participate in the Stock Purchase Plan if they
have been employed by the Company for at least 90 consecutive days. Employees
who own 5% or more of the outstanding capital stock of the Company will not be
eligible to participate. The Stock Purchase Plan permits eligible employees to
purchase common stock through payroll deductions, at a price equal to 85% of
the fair market value of the common stock at the time of purchase.
The Stock Purchase Plan is administered by the Board of Directors or by a
committee appointed by the Board of Directors, which shall establish such
rules and procedures as are necessary or advisable to administer the Stock
Purchase Plan. The Stock Purchase Plan became effective on February 18, 1997,
the date on which a registration statement on Form S-8 filed by the Company
with respect thereto became effective. The Stock Purchase Plan will remain
effective until all the shares available for issuance under the Plan have been
issued, unless sooner terminated by action of the Board of Directors.
401(K) PLAN
Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted a 401(k) Plan (the "401(k)
Plan"). Pursuant to the 401(k) Plan, participants may contribute up to 10%
(12% as of April 1997) of their compensation, not to exceed a statutorily
prescribed annual maximum, to the 401(k) Plan. The 401(k) Plan provides for
the Company to make dollar-for-dollar matching contributions to the Plan on
behalf of each participant up to a maximum of 5% of the participant's base
salary and discretionary profit-sharing contributions. An employee must have
completed one year of service (as defined in the 401(k) Plan) in order to
participate in the 401(k) Plan.
Under the 401(k) Plan, each participant vests immediately in his or her
salary contributions and vests in the Company's contributions at the rate of
20% per year of service beginning with two years of service. Distributions may
be made from a participant's account in the form of a lump-sum, installments
or direct rollover upon termination of employment, retirement, disability,
death or attainment of the age 59 1/2, or in the form of a lump-sum
distribution in the event of financial hardship. The 401(k) Plan is intended
to qualify under Section 401 of the Code so that contributions by employees or
by the Company to the 401(k) Plan, and income earned on plan contributions,
are not taxable to employees until withdrawn from the 401(k) Plan, and so that
contributions by the Company, if any, will be deductible by the Company when
made.
46
The 401(k) Plan has been amended to provide that the Company's matching
contributions will take the form of common stock and to provide that employees
may become participants in the 401(k) Plan for the purpose of making salary
contributions as of the first day of the quarter following their date of hire.
The Board has reserved a total of 200,000 shares of common stock for issuance
in connection with the 401(k) Plan.
STOCK GRANTS
The Company has granted shares of stock as compensation to certain of its
officers and employees. On May 22, 1995, the Company issued (i) 4,000,000
shares of common stock to Kwok L. Li; (ii) 200,000 shares of common stock to
Yung-Lung Ho and 2,400 shares of common stock to several employees; and (iii)
on June 14, 1995, the Company issued 6,000 shares of common stock to several
employees. See "--Summary Compensation Table."
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
The Company has employment agreements with Dr. Kim, its Chief Executive
Officer, Mr. Li, its Chief Technical Officer, and Mr. Carr, its President and
Chief Operating Officer. Pursuant to the Company's employment agreement with
Dr. Kim, dated July 31, 1996 (the "Kim Employment Agreement"), Dr. Kim will
receive an annual salary of $200,000 and bonus of $40,000 or such other amount
as the Board of Directors may determine. Dr. Kim's employment is for a one-
year term that renews automatically unless terminated by either party. If the
Kim Employment Agreement is terminated by the Company for any reason other
than "disability" or "cause" or by Dr. Kim for "good reason" (as those terms
are defined in the Kim Employment Agreement), the Company must make a cash
lump sum severance payment equal to Dr. Kim's base salary (as defined in the
Kim Employment Agreement) and a "bonus amount" for the then-current year, and
continue his benefits for up to one year. Throughout his employment, Dr. Kim
is bound by a covenant not to compete, which prevents him from engaging in any
business in the United States in which the Company is then involved. Dr. Kim
will continue to be bound by this covenant not to compete for one year after
his termination. The Kim Employment Agreement also provides for certain
registration rights with respect to Dr. Kim's shares of common stock pursuant
to a registration rights agreement (the "Kim Registration Rights Agreement").
Dr. Kim has waived his registration rights with respect to this offering. See
"Shares Eligible for Future Sale."
The employment agreement between the Company and Mr. Li, dated July 31,
1996, as amended on June 24, 1997 (the "Li Employment Agreement"), provides
for Mr. Li to receive an annual salary of $150,000 and bonus of $30,000 or
such other amount as the Board of Directors may determine. Mr. Li's employment
is for a one-year term that renews automatically unless terminated by either
party. If the Li Employment Agreement is terminated by the Company for any
reason other than "disability" or "cause" or by Mr. Li for "good reason" (as
those terms are defined in the Li Employment Agreement), the Company must make
a cash lump sum severance payment equal to Mr. Li's base salary for the then-
current year and a "bonus amount" (as defined in the Li Employment Agreement),
and continue his benefits for up to one year. Throughout his employment, Mr.
Li is bound by a covenant not to compete, which prevents him from engaging in
any business in the United States in which the Company is then involved. Mr.
Li will continue to be bound by this covenant not to compete for one year
after his termination. The Li Employment Agreement, as amended, reflects Mr.
Li's new position as Chief Technology Officer and Vice Chairman of the Board
of Directors and allows him, to a material extent, to participate in other
business activities relating to Splitrock. The Li Employment Agreement
provides for certain registration rights with respect to Mr. Li's shares of
common stock pursuant to a registration rights agreement (the "Li Registration
Rights Agreement"). Mr. Li has waived his registration rights with respect to
this offering. See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale."
Pursuant to the Company's employment agreement with Mr. Carr dated April 30,
1997 (the "Carr Employment Agreement"), Mr. Carr will receive an annual salary
of $200,000 and a bonus of 20% of his annual base salary or such other amount
as the Board of Directors may determine. Mr. Carr's employment
47
is for a three-year term that renews automatically for a one-year term unless
terminated by either party. If the Carr Employment Agreement is terminated by
the Company for any reason other than "disability" or "cause" or by Mr. Carr
for "good reason" (as those terms are defined in the Carr Employment
Agreement), the Company must make a cash lump sum severance payment equal to
Mr. Carr's base salary for the then-current year and a "bonus amount" (as
defined in the Carr Employment Agreement), and continue his benefits for up to
one year. Throughout his employment, Mr. Carr is bound by a covenant not to
compete, which prevents him from engaging in any business in the United States
in which the Company is then involved. Unless terminated by the Company other
than for "disability" or cause, or by Mr. Carr for "good reason," Mr. Carr
will continue to be bound by this covenant not to compete for one year after
his termination. In connection with the Carr Employment Agreement, the Company
also granted Mr. Carr stock options to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the
Company common stock (the "Carr Options"). The vesting schedule of the Carr
Options follows the Stock Option Plan, including such provisions relating to
Change in Control. If Mr. Carr's employment is terminated by the Company
without "cause" or for "disability" or by Mr. Carr for "good reason," the Carr
Options will automatically become fully exercisable. In the case of any
voluntary termination by Mr. Carr or termination for "cause" by the Company,
the then vested Carr Options will not terminate until the expiration of their
term.
COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
During 1995, 1996 and 1997, each of the Company's independent directors
received $5,000 per year for serving as members of the Board of Directors, and
the same amount is expected to be paid for service in 1998. During 1996, Dr.

provides for annual automatic option grants of 5,000 options to its
independent directors, and on June 30, 1997, each director received options to
purchase 5,000 shares of common stock. The Stock Option Plan also allows the
Board (or a committee thereof) to grant options to incoming directors upon
their agreement to serve on the Board. Directors also are reimbursed for
travel and other expenses of attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors
or committees thereof.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
The Compensation Committee, which is responsible for administering the
Company's Stock Option Plan with respect to executive officers and directors

was formed in June 1996. The members of the Compensation Committee are Dr.
Herbert Rabin (Chairman), Dr. William J. Perry and Kenneth D. Brody. Mr.
Brody, Dr. Kim and the Company are parties to an agreement under which Mr.
Brody purchased an option to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock from
Dr. Kim at an exercise price of $4.00 per share. Mr. Brody also has a

LIMITATION OF DIRECTORS' LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION
The DGCL authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal
liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of directors' fiduciary duty of care. The Company's
Certificate limits the liability of directors of the Company to the Company or
its stockholders to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. See
"Description of Capital Stock--Certain Provisions of the Company's Certificate
of Incorporation and Bylaws."
The Certificate provides mandatory indemnification rights to any officer or
director of the Company who, by reason of the fact that he or she is an
officer or director of the Company, is involved in a legal proceeding of any
nature. Such indemnification rights include reimbursement for expenses
incurred by such officer in advance of the final disposition of such
proceeding in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
On July 1, 1996, Dr. Jeong H. Kim and Kenneth D. Brody entered into an

secure Dr. Kim's obligations to deliver shares of common stock to Mr. Brody
upon exercise of the Brody Option, Dr. Kim granted Mr. Brody a security
interest in all of the shares of common stock subject to the Brody Option. Mr.
Brody may assign the Brody Option, in whole or in part, subject to the

members) must be assigned a portion of the Brody Option covering at least
200,000 shares of common stock. The Brody Option is exercisable for a term of

options vested upon their grant. Mr. Chung exercised these options in June
1997 and the Company issued 50,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Chung. Mr.
Chung is currently employed as a Special Assistant to President Harry Carr,
for which he was paid $17,502 in 1997. Mr. Chung is the father-in-law of Dr.
Jeong H. Kim.
The Company has a significant customer relationship with Splitrock, a Texas
corporation that provides communications services specifically configured to
meet the needs of large network users. Splitrock purchased the Prodigy Network
in 1997. During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, Splitrock purchased
$11.5 million of LDR products from the Company. In July 1997, Yurie and
Splitrock entered into the Splitrock Agreement, which requires Splitrock to
purchase a minimum of $20.0 million of LDR products in the period from July
1997 to December 1998. Through September 30, 1997 Splitrock had purchased $6.6
million of LDR products pursuant to this agreement. Under the Splitrock
Agreement, Yurie provides services to support deployment and implementation of
Yurie's products in Splitrock's network on a time and materials basis.
Kwok L. Li, Chief Technology Officer and Vice Chairman of the Board of
Directors of Yurie, is the majority shareholder in Splitrock. Mr. Li also
serves as the Chairman of the Board of Splitrock and, in that capacity, is

Committee") to oversee and provide guidance to the Company in its relationship
with Splitrock. The Splitrock Committee is responsible for reviewing,
authorizing and approving all transactions between Yurie and Splitrock, and

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The purpose of this Prospectus is to permit the Selling Stockholders, if
they desire, to dispose of some or all of their shares of common stock, on a
delayed or continuous basis. Whether offers and sales will be made pursuant to
this Prospectus, and the timing and amount of any offers or sales that are
made, is and will be within the sole discretion of the Selling Stockholders.
Most of the Selling Stockholders are currently not eligible to dispose of
their shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act and will not be
eligible to make such sales until they have satisfied the one-year holding
period under Rule 144. Amerindo's one-year holding period expired on November
6, 1997. Each of Mr. Brody's and Oneline's holding periods will expire one
year after they exercise their options. The one-year holding period for each
of the Data Labs Holders (defined herein below) will expire on December 1,
1998.
If the Selling Stockholders determine, in their discretion, to make sales
pursuant to this Prospectus, they may sell the shares being offered hereby
from time to time (i) through dealers or in ordinary broker transactions, in
the over-the-counter market or otherwise, (ii) "at the market" to or through
marketmakers or into an existing market for the shares, (iii) in other ways
not involving marketmakers or established trading markets, including direct
sales to purchasers or effected through agents, or (iv) in combinations of any
such methods of sale, subject to applicable state and federal securities laws.
One or more of the Selling Stockholders may coordinate sales of stock pursuant
to this registration statement with sales pursuant to Rule 144 by other
stockholders of the Company. The shares will be sold at market prices
prevailing at the time of sale or negotiated prices. In connection with the
distributions of the common stock or otherwise, the Selling Stockholders may
enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial
institutions. In connection with such transactions, broker-dealers or other
financial institutions may engage in short sales of common stock in the course
of hedging the positions they assume with the Selling Stockholders. The
Selling Stockholders may also sell common stock short and redeliver the shares
to close out such short positions. The Selling Stockholders may also enter
into options or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial
institutions which require the delivery to such broker-dealers or financial
institutions of the common stock offered hereby, which common stock such
broker-dealer or other financial institutions may resell pursuant to this
Prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect this transaction). The
Selling Stockholders may also pledge the shares registered hereunder to a
broker-dealer or other financial institution may effect sales of the pledged
common stock pursuant to this Prospectus (as supplemented or amended to
reflect such transaction). In addition, any shares covered by this Prospectus
which qualify for sale pursuant to Section 4(1) of the Securities Act or Rule
144 thereunder may be sold under such provisions rather than pursuant to this
Prospectus.
If a dealer is utilized in the sale of the shares in respect of which the
Prospectus is delivered, sales will be made by the Selling Stockholders to or
through a marketmaker, acting as principal or as agent. Other sales may be
made, directly or through an agent, to purchasers outside existing trading
markets. A selling broker may act as agent or may acquire the shares, warrants
or interests therein, as principal or pledgee and may, from time to time,
effect distributions of such sales.
In connection with this offering, the Company will pay all expenses of
preparing and filing the registration statement, including, without
limitation, registration and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and
disbursements of legal counsel and accountants for the Company, transfer
agents' and registrars' fees, fees and disbursements of experts used by the
Company in connection with such registration, expenses of any special audits
of the Company incidental to or required by such registration, and expenses
incidental to any post-effective amendment to any such registration statement.
The Company is also required to pay legal expenses, if any, of one of the
Selling Stockholders not to exceed $10,000.
All dealers', brokers', or agents' commissions, concessions, discounts, fees
or other compensation will be paid by the Selling Stockholders.
52
The Company has advised the Selling Stockholders that during such time as
they may be engaged in a distribution of the Shares included herein they are
required to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act. With
certain exceptions, Regulation M precludes any Selling Stockholder, any
affiliated purchasers and any broker-dealer or other person who participates
is such distribution from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce
any person to bid for or purchase any security which is the subject of the
distribution until the entire distribution is complete. Regulation M also
prohibits any bids or purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a
security in connection with the distribution of that security. All of the
foregoing may affect the marketability of the common stock.
No sales or distributions other than as described herein may be effected
until after this Prospectus shall have been appropriately amended or
supplemented.
53
DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
The Certificate provides that the authorized capital of the Company consists
of 50,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, and 10,000,000
shares of undesignated preferred stock, par value $.01 per share. As of
December 31, 1997, there were 25,316,468 shares of common stock outstanding
and no shares of preferred stock outstanding. In addition, there were
outstanding options to acquire 5,622,229 shares of common stock.
COMMON STOCK
The holders of common stock of the Company are entitled to one vote per
share on all matters to be voted upon by the stockholders. Subject to
preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding preferred stock, the
holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if
any, as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors out of
funds legally available therefor. See "Dividend Policy." In the event of a
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of common
stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of
liabilities, subject to prior rights of preferred stock, if any, then
outstanding. The common stock has no preemptive, conversion or other
subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions
available to the common stock. All outstanding shares of common stock are
fully paid and non-assessable.
PREFERRED STOCK
The Board of Directors has the authority to issue the undesignated preferred
stock in one or more series and to determine the powers, preferences and
rights and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions granted to or
imposed upon any wholly unissued series of undesignated preferred stock and to
fix the number of shares constituting any series and the designation of such
series, without any further vote or action by the stockholders. The issuance
of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a
change in control of the Company and may adversely affect the voting and other
rights of the holders of common stock. The Company has no present plans to
issue any shares of preferred stock.
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
The holders of approximately 18,385,366 shares of common stock held by or
issuable to certain holders of options, and certain of their transferees, have
rights to have those shares of common stock registered by the Company under
the Securities Act. The 2,155,366 shares of Common Stock being sold by the
Selling Stockholders in this offering are being sold pursuant to the exercise
of these registration rights.
The Company and Mr. Brody are parties to a registration rights agreement
(the "Brody Registration Rights Agreement") with respect to 1,000,000 shares
of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Brody Option (the "Brody
Shares"). Under the Brody Registration Rights Agreement, Mr. Brody and his
assignees (the "Holders") may, beginning August 4, 1997 (April 4, 1998 with
respect to assignees) and subject to certain limitations, require the Company
to file up to three registration statements under the Securities Act
("registration demands") covering the public sale of all or any portion of the
Brody Shares, one of which may be for the sale of Brody Shares in an
underwritten offering, and two of which must be shelf registration statements.
In addition, the Holders have been granted "piggyback" registration rights
with respect to certain registration statements filed by the Company. The
shares offered by Mr. Brody as a Selling Stockholder in this offering are
being sold pursuant to the exercise of these registration rights. In any
registration, the Company must pay the registration expenses of the Holders,
including the legal fees of the Holders of up to $10,000, other than
underwriting commissions or discounts. The Company has agreed to indemnify the
Holders against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act, in connection with the registration of the Brody Shares. Mr.
Brody has exercised his demand registration rights with respect to this
offering.
54
Pursuant to the Kim Registration Rights Agreement and the Li Registration
Rights Agreement (collectively, the "Registration Rights Agreements"), Dr. Kim
and Mr. Li were granted registration rights for 15,000,000 shares of common
stock (the "Kim Shares") and 4,000,000 shares of common stock (the "Li
Shares"), respectively. The Registration Rights Agreements provide that each
of Dr. Kim and his assignees and Mr. Li and his assignees, as the case may be,
may, beginning August 4, 1997 (April 4, 1998 with respect to assignees) and
subject to certain limitations, make up to five registration demands with
respect to the sale of all or any portion of the Kim Shares or the Li Shares,
respectively, three of which may be shelf registration statements. Dr. Kim and
Mr. Li and their assignees have also been granted "piggyback" registration
rights with respect to certain registration statements filed by the Company or
other selling stockholders. In any registration, the Company must pay the
registration expenses of Dr. Kim and Mr. Li and their assignees, including
legal fees of up to $10,000, other than underwriting commissions or discounts.
The Company has agreed to indemnify Dr. Kim and Mr. Li against certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, in connection
with the registration of the Kim Shares and the Li Shares. Dr. Kim and Mr. Li
have waived their "piggyback" registration rights in connection with this
offering.
Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement between the Company and Amerindo, the
Company granted registration rights to Amerindo with respect to 1,000,000
shares of common stock (the "Amerindo Shares"). Amerindo acquired the shares
in a private placement on November 7, 1996 from the Company (400,000 shares),
Dr. Kim (500,000 shares) and Mr. Li (100,000 shares). The Stock Purchase
Agreement provides that Amerindo may, beginning one year after February 4,
1997 and subject to certain limitations, make one registration demand for a
shelf registration for all, but not less than all, of the Amerindo Shares.
Amerindo also has "piggyback" registration rights with respect to certain
registration statements filed by the Company. In any registration, the Company
must pay the registration expenses of Amerindo, excluding Amerindo's legal
fees, underwriting commissions and discounts. The Company has agreed to
indemnify Amerindo against certain liabilities, including liabilities under
the Securities Act, in connection with the registration of the Amerindo
Shares. Amerindo has exercised its "piggyback" registration rights with
respect to this offering.
In April 1997, the Company granted "piggyback" registration rights to
Oneline with respect to 20,000 shares of common stock subject to the Oneline
Option. Oneline has exercised its "piggyback" registration rights with respect
to this offering.
Pursuant to a registration rights agreement between the Company and the
remaining Selling Stockholders (the "Data Labs Holders"), all of whom were
former shareholders of Data Labs (the "Data Labs Registration Rights
Agreement"), the Company granted registration rights to the Data Labs Holders
with respect to a total of 336,966 shares of common stock (the "Data Labs
Shares"). The Data Labs Holders acquired the Data Labs Shares in the Data Labs
Merger on December 1, 1997. This Registration Statement, and the Prospectus
thereof a part, are being filed pursuant to the Company's obligations under
the Data Labs Merger Agreement. In addition, the Data Labs Holders have been
granted "piggyback" registration rights with respect to certain registration
statements filed by the Company. In any registration, the Company must pay the
registration expenses of the Data Labs Holders other than underwriting
commissions or discounts. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Data Labs
Holders against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act, in connection with the registration of the Data Labs Shares.
CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE COMPANY'S CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS
The Certificate of Incorporation provides that the liability of directors of
the Company is eliminated to the fullest extent permitted under Section
102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law. As a result, no director of
the Company will be liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i)
for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its
stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
55
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for any willful or
negligent payment of an unlawful dividend, stock purchase or redemption or
(iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.
The Certificate divides the Board of Directors of the Company into three
classes, each class to be as nearly equal in number of directors as possible.
Messrs. Shigemura and Brody and Dr. Perry are Class I directors with their
terms of office expiring in 1999, Messrs. Li and Woolsey are Class II
directors whose terms will expire in 1998, and Drs. Kim and Rabin are Class
III directors whose terms will expire in 2000. At each annual meeting of
stockholders, directors in each class will be elected for terms of three years
to succeed the directors of that class whose terms are expiring. In accordance
with the DGCL, directors serving on classified boards of directors may only be
removed from office for cause. The Certificate provides that stockholders may
take action by the written consent of 66 2/3% of the stockholders, and that a
special meeting of stockholders may be called only by the Board of Directors.
The Bylaws of the Company provide that stockholders must follow an advance
notification procedure for certain stockholder nominations of candidates for
the Board of Directors and for certain other stockholder business to be
conducted at an annual meeting. These provisions could, under certain
circumstances, operate to delay, defer or prevent a change in control of the
Company.

The Transfer Agent and Registrar for the Company's common stock is American

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors of
Yurie Systems, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Yurie Systems, Inc. as of
December 31, 1995 and 1996, and the related statements of operations,
stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1996. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform our audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Yurie Systems, Inc. as of
December 31, 1995 and 1996, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, in 1996, the Company
adopted the disclosure requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation."

YURIE SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Yurie Systems, Inc. (formerly Integrated Systems Technology, Inc.) is a
Delaware corporation that was incorporated in February 1992. The Company
designs, manufactures, markets and services asynchronous transfer mode ("ATM")
access products for telecommunications service providers, corporate end users
and government end users. ATM is a standard for packaging and switching
digital information that facilitates high speed information transmission with
a high degree of efficiency.
Revenue Recognition--For financial reporting purposes, the Company records
revenue from product sales on the ship and bill method. Contract service
revenue is primarily generated from cost-reimbursable contracts, including
cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts, and is recorded on the basis of reimbursable
costs plus a pro rata portion of the fee. A portion of the Company's service
revenue is derived from various fixed-price contracts and is accounted for
using the percentage-of-completion method. Losses on contracts, if any, are
recorded when they become known. Contract costs for services supplied to the
U.S. government, including indirect expenses, are subject to audit by the
government's representatives. All revenue is recorded in amounts that are
expected to be realized upon final settlement.
Cash and Cash Equivalents--The Company considers all highly liquid temporary
investments including those with an original maturity of three months or less
to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of
interest bearing accounts.
Unbilled Receivables--Unbilled receivables include certain costs and a
portion of the fee and expected profit which is billable upon completion of
the contracts or the completion of certain tasks under terms of the contracts.
Inventories--Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market using the
first-in, first-out method.
Depreciation and Amortization--Property and equipment is recorded at cost.
The cost of furniture and computer and office equipment is depreciated from
the date of installation using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the various classes of property, which range from three to
seven years. The costs of software are amortized using the straight-line
method over three years.
Warranty Reserve--Estimated warranty costs are accrued at the time revenue
is recognized and are charged to cost of revenues.
Software Development Costs--Software development costs incurred for products
to be sold are capitalized after technological feasibility has been
established, which is consistent with the guidance under SFAS No. 86,
"Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or
Otherwise Marketed." As of December 31, 1996, all costs related to software
development have been expensed as incurred.
Deferred Offering Costs--Legal and other incremental costs associated with
raising capital through an initial public offering are capitalized on the
balance sheet. Such costs are subsequently netted against the proceeds of the
stock offering to which they relate. Such costs would be written off to
operations in the period in which the related offering is abandoned. There are
no deferred costs included in the balance sheets at December 31, 1994 and
1995. Deferred offering cost at December 31, 1996 was $910,442.
Income Taxes--The provision for income taxes includes Federal and state
income taxes currently payable plus the net change during the year in the
deferred tax liability or asset. The current or deferred tax consequences of
all events that have been recognized in the financial statements are measured
based on provisions of enacted tax law to determine the amount of taxes
payable or refundable in future periods.

YURIE SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
Use of Estimates--The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses in the financial statements and in the disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risk--Financial instruments that potentially subject
the Company to concentration of credit risk principally consist of trade
accounts receivable. The Company's largest commercial customer accounted for
approximately 66% and 63% of gross accounts receivable at December 31, 1995
and 1996, respectively. In addition, other customers with balances in excess
of 10% accounted for approximately 23% of gross accounts receivable as of
December 31, 1995. There were no other customers with a balance in excess of
10% as of December 31, 1996. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations
of its customers, but generally does not require collateral to support
customer receivables. Losses on uncollectible accounts have consistently been
within management's expectations and have historically been minimal.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share--Net income per common and common share
equivalents at December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996 were computed based upon the
weighted average number of common and common share equivalents, outstanding
during the period. Common share equivalents consist of stock options
calculated using the treasury stock method. Retroactive restatement has been
made for the forty-to-one stock split on January 3, 1995 and the two-to-one
stock split on April 3, 1996. Primary and fully diluted earnings per share are
the same. Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 83, common stock and options to purchase common stock issued
within one year prior to the initial filing of the Registration Statement at
prices below the assumed initial public offering price will be included as
outstanding for all periods presented, using the treasury stock method.

No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, has been adopted by the
Company as of December 31, 1996. However, the Company has not adopted the
recognition and measurement provisions of SFAS No. 123 and therefore, will

purposes and amounts used for income tax purposes and the impact of available
net operating loss carryforwards.
The tax effect of significant temporary differences, which comprise the
deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating
its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
Cash and Cash Equivalents--The carrying amounts reported in the balance
sheets for cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.
Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable--The carrying amounts reported
in the balance sheets for accounts receivable and accounts payable
approximate fair value.
9. COMMITMENTS
Lease Obligations--The Company currently leases two facilities in Lanham,
Maryland, which leases expire in 1998 and 1999. The Company is accounting for
the costs of these leases by recognizing rent expense on a straight-line basis

YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, AMOUNT
------------------------ --------
1997............................................................ $398,941
1998............................................................ 271,212
1999............................................................ 167,463
--------
Total minimum lease payments.................................. $837,616

Rental expense for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996, was
$38,500, $112,615, and $265,285, respectively.
Employment Agreements--The Company has employment agreements with two of its
executive officers. The agreements provide for a minimum salary level as well
as for bonuses which are determined by the Board of Directors. Each of the
employment agreements is for a one-year term that renews automatically unless
terminated by either party.
10. PENSION PLAN
Until December 31, 1995, the Company had an employee pension plan, which was
administered as a self-employment plan under Internal Revenue Service
regulations. It was Company policy to contribute annually an amount equal to
15% of qualified employees' salaries. Pension expense for the years ended
December 31, 1994, and 1995 was $38,119 and $93,557, respectively. The
investment options were employee directed. All employees are fully vested at
the end of one year of consecutive service.
Effective January 1, 1996, the plan is administered as a 401(k) profit
sharing plan that covers substantially all full time employees. Employees are
eligible to participate upon completion of one year of service and may
contribute up to 10% of their annual compensation not to exceed certain
statutory limitations. Eligible employees vest in employer contributions and
investment earnings thereon in 20% increments over a five year period. Pension
expense for the year ended December 31, 1996 totaled $37,661.
11. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
On January 3, 1995, the Board of Directors approved a stock split in the
ratio of forty-to-one that increased the number of shares, all held at that
time by the President of the Company, from 200,000 to 8,000,000.
On May 22, 1995, the Company issued 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock to Kwok
Li as compensation for his services in connection with the development of the
LDR100. Also on May 22, 1995, and June 14, 1995 the Company issued 202,400 and
6,000 shares of Common Stock, respectively, to several employees as
compensation for their services to the Company. The Company recorded these
grants at $.077 per share, the then current fair value of the Common Stock
based on an independent appraisal conducted as of May 22, 1995.
On April 3, 1996, the Board of Directors recommended, and the shareholders
approved, a two-for-one stock split on outstanding shares of common stock as
well as options outstanding. At the same time, the option price per share was
reduced by 50%.
F-11
YURIE SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
The Company's Board of Directors approved a nonstatutory stock option plan
effective January 31, 1996, for which 395,800 shares of stock were approved to
be issued. On April 2, 1996, the Board of Directors recommended the stock
option plan be amended to increase the number of shares available under the
Plan to 1,250,000. This increase and the two-for-one stock split approved by
the shareholders on April 3, 1996, increased the number of shares available
under the plan to 2,500,000. Subsequently, on July 17, 1996, the Board of
Directors recommended and the shareholders approved another increase of
700,000 shares, bringing the total number of shares available under the plan
to 3,200,000. The exercise price per share was determined based upon estimated
fair value on the date of grant. Options are generally exercisable over a four
year period and expire ten years after the date of the grant.
A summary of stock option activity, described above, under the stock option
plan is as follows:
NUMBER OF
SHARES
---------
Outstanding, January 1, 1996..................................... --
Granted:
At exercise price of $.52 per share............................ 2,103,442
At exercise price of $2.70 per share........................... 841,100
At exercise price of $9.00 per share........................... 251,380
At exercise price of $12.00 per share.......................... 17,000
---------
Total Granted.................................................... 3,212,922
Exercised........................................................ --
---------
Outstanding, December 31, 1996................................... 3,212,922
=========
Exercisable options at December 31, 1996......................... 271,500
=========
The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans under APB No.
25. No compensation expense has been recognized in connection with the
options, as all options have been granted with an exercise price equal to the
fair value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. The Company
adopted SFAS No. 123 for disclosure purposes in 1996. For SFAS No. 123
purposes, the fair value of each option grant has been estimated as of the
date of grant using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following
weighted average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 5.96%, expected life
of three years, dividend rate of zero percent, and expected volatility of
68.30%. Using these assumptions, the fair value of the stock options granted
in 1996 is $2,919,254, which would be amortized as compensation expense over
the vesting period of the options. The options generally vest equally over
four years. Had compensation expense been determined consistent with SFAS No.
123, utilizing the assumptions detailed above, the Company's net income and
earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 1996 would have been
reduced to the following pro forma amounts:
1996
----------
Net Income:
As Reported.................................................. $3,152,408
Pro forma.................................................... $2,993,026
Net income per common share:
As Reported.................................................. $0.14
Pro forma.................................................... $0.14
The resulting pro forma compensation cost may not be representative of that
expected in future years.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTS
To Data Labs, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Data Labs, Inc., a
Delaware Corporation, as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related

also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

DATA LABS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995
1. THE COMPANY:
Business
Data Labs, Inc. (the "Company") designs, manufactures and markets
telecommunications and data communications networking products. These products
enable network administrators to preserve existing network infrastructures and
meet current technology needs while still allowing for future expansion. The
Company currently markets and sells their products to network service
providers, equipment vendors and end users.
The Company is in the early stages of developing the market for its
products. Certain products proposed to be offered by the Company have not been
fully developed and will require additional research and development. There
can be no assurance that the Company's research and development activities
will result in the development of additional products that can be marketed in
a commercially successful manner, or that any such products will be able to
compete with other products that may be marketed at the time the Company's
products become available. The Company is dependent on the principal members
of its technical and management staff, and the loss of any of their services
may impede the achievement of certain of the Company's product development
activities.
The continued development of the Company's products and markets will require
substantial additional capital. There can be no assurance that the Company
will be able to obtain additional financing when needed, if at all, or on
terms acceptable to the Company.
Recapitalization of Common Stock
The Company, a Maryland corporation, elected to change its capital structure
in June 1996 and reincorporate into Data Labs, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Recapitalization"). Pursuant to the Recapitalization and amended
certificate of incorporation, the Company exchanged existing outstanding
common stock for 3,249,200 shares of $.001 par value common stock completing a
50 to 1 stock split. All amounts have been restated to reflect the 50 to 1
stock split and change in par value.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Revenue Recognition
Revenue relating to product sales is generally recognized upon shipment.
Revenue under product development contracts is recognized on a percentage-of-
completion basis.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity
of 90 days or less as cash equivalents. Cash equivalents at December 31, 1996,
consist primarily of U.S. Treasury bills and certificates of deposit. All
investments are classified as held-to-maturity securities and, accordingly,
are carried at cost.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents.
The Company had concentrations of cash in a single bank in the form of demand
deposits and certificates of deposit totaling approximately $980,000 at
December 31, 1996.
F-25
DATA LABS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Furniture and Equipment
Furniture and fixtures, computers, and equipment are stated at cost, less
accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally three to five years.
Furniture and equipment consist of the following:
AS OF DECEMBER 31,
--------------------
1996 1995
--------- ---------
Furniture and fixtures................................ $ 13,838 $ 9,494
Computers and equipment............................... 261,109 65,840

========= ========
SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," was adopted by the Company for fiscal
year ending December 31, 1996. The adoption did not have a material effect on
the Company's financial position.
3. ACCRUED EXPENSES AND OTHER CURRENT LIABILITIES:
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities consist of the following:

========= =========
4. INCOME TAXES:
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes."
Under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the estimated future tax consequences of temporary differences
and income tax credits. Temporary differences are primarily the result of the
differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their
financial reporting amounts. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to the future years in
which deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be settled or
realized. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce
deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
F-26
DATA LABS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
At December 31, 1996, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward of
approximately $1.1 million for Federal income tax reporting purposes. The
amount of U.S. net operating loss carryforwards available to be issued in any
given year may be limited in the event of significant changes in ownership of
the Company.
SFAS No. 109 requires that the tax benefit of financial reporting net
operating losses and tax credits be recorded as an asset to the extent that
management assesses the utilization of such net operating losses and tax
credits to be "more likely than not." As of December 31, 1996, the Company's
net deferred tax assets were approximately $400,000 and a valuation reserve
was recorded against the entire amount.
5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
The Company is obligated under an operating lease for space in its office
building and capital lease obligations for equipment. The lease term expires
in March 1999 and May 2000, respectively.
Future minimum lease payments are as follows:
YEAR ENDED
DECEMBER 31,

1997............................................................. $110,535

--------
Total.......................................................... $270,206
========
Rent expense charged to operations during the years ended December 31, 1996
and 1995, was $55,612 and $36,589, respectively.
6. STOCK OPTION PLAN:
During 1996, the Company adopted a stock option plan (the "Plan") and
reserved 2,100,800 shares for issuance. The Board of Directors administers the
Plan and determines the price, vesting, and other terms upon which awards
shall be made. All options have been granted with an exercise price equal to
the fair market value of the Company's common stock on date of grant as
determined by the Board of Directors. Options granted under the Company's plan
generally expire three months after termination of employment or five to ten
years after date of grant. A summary of option transactions during 1996 is as
follows.

F-27
DATA LABS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
The Company accounts for the Plan under APB Opinion No. 25, under which no
compensation cost has been recognized. Net loss, on a pro forma basis assuming
that the Company had determined compensation cost consistent with SFAS No.
123, would have been increased by $55,000 to $1,223,293 in 1996.
The fair value for options was estimated at the date of grant using the
minimum value method with the following weighted-average assumptions for 1996:
risk free interest rates of 6.33 percent during the period, no expected
dividend yields, no volatility in the expected market price of the Company's
common stock and the estimated life of the option is the contractual term of
the option. The weighted average fair value of options granted during 1996 was
$.05.
7. PREFERRED STOCK:
In July 1996, the Company amended it's certificate of incorporation to
authorize two new classes of Convertible, Redeemable, and Voting preferred
stock ("Preferred Stock"). Preferred Stock can be issued in two series, A and
A1. Dividends are not cumulative and are paid at the rate of $.10 per share,
per annum, if declared by the Board of Directors. No series A1 Preferred Stock
has been issued.
In 1996, the Company issued 3,130,000 shares of Series A preferred stock for
$1 per share. The Preferred Stock is redeemable any time after June 30, 2001,
upon written request of not less than sixty-five percent of the outstanding
preferred stockholders. The redemption shall be paid in cash equal to the
original issue price per share ($1) plus any declared but unpaid dividends.
The declared and unpaid dividends accrue interest at the rate of 10 percent
compounded annually.
Each share of the Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock at any
time prior to the fifth day before redemption of the Preferred Stock at a 1 to
1 ratio. The Preferred Stock automatically converts to common stock upon a
firm commitment of an underwritten public offering, at not less than $5.00 per
share or $10,000,000 in aggregate proceeds. Conversion to common stock can
also occur upon written request of 65 percent of the outstanding preferred
stockholders.
In the event of liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, the
holders of each share of Preferred Stock are entitled to redeem their shares
for $1 for each outstanding share of Preferred Stock.
The Preferred Stock and other shareholder agreements provide for certain
registration rights, preemptive rights with respect to future issuances of
equity securities and rights of first refusal and co-sale in the event that
the stockholders sell their shares.
Warrants
In connection with the issuance of the series A preferred stock the Company
issued 900,000 warrants to purchase common stock at $.10 a share. The warrants
have a 10 year term.
8. STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENTS:
The Company has in place several contingent stock purchase agreements
whereby the Company reserves the right to repurchase shares of common stock
from key employees upon termination of employment. The amount of shares that
the Company can repurchase decreases ratably over a four year period. In the
event of voluntary termination or termination for cause by the Company the
purchase price is $.002 per share, the employee's original purchase price. If
termination is for any other reason the purchase price will be the fair market
value at the date of termination.

9. LINE OF CREDIT:
In October 1996, the Company entered into a line-of-credit agreement for
$400,000 that matures on April 5, 1998. The line of credit accrues interest at
a rate of prime plus 1 1/2 percent. There were no borrowings outstanding at
December 31, 1996.

We have audited the accompanying supplemental consolidated balance sheets of
Yurie Systems, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") (formed as a result of
the merger of Yurie Systems, Inc. and Data Labs, Inc.) as of December 31, 1995
and 1996, and the related supplemental consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1996. These supplemental consolidated financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these supplemental consolidated financial statements
based on our audits. The supplemental consolidated financial statements give
retroactive effect to the merger of the Company and Data Labs, Inc., which has
been accounted for as a pooling of interests as described in Note 13 to the
supplemental consolidated financial statements. We did not audit the balance
sheets of Data Labs, Inc. as of December 31, 1995 and 1996, or the related
statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows of Data Labs,
Inc. for the years then ended, which statements reflect total assets of
$136,698 and $2,317,625 as of December 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively, and
total revenues of $651,192 and $112,318, for the years ended December 31, 1995
and 1996, respectively. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose
report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the
amounts included for Data Labs, Inc. for 1995 and 1996, is based solely on the
report of such other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the report of the other
auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of the other auditors,
the supplemental consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the supplemental consolidated financial
position of Yurie Systems, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and
1996, and the supplemental consolidated results of their operations and their
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996,
after giving retroactive effect to the merger of Data Labs, Inc., as described
in the notes to the supplemental consolidated financial statements, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

YURIE SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO SUPPLEMENTAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Yurie Systems, Inc. (formerly Integrated Systems Technology, Inc.) is a
Delaware corporation that was incorporated in February 1992. The Company
designs, manufactures, markets and services asynchronous transfer mode ("ATM")
access products for telecommunications service providers, corporate end users
and government end users. ATM is a standard for packaging and switching
digital information that facilitates high speed information transmission with
a high degree of efficiency.
Basis of Presentation--The accompanying supplemental consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of Yurie Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries,
including Data Labs, Inc. (the "Company"). All significant intercompany
transactions have been eliminated. These supplemental consolidated financial
statements have been restated to give retroactive effect to the merger with
Data Labs, Inc. on December 1, 1997, in a transaction accounted for as a
pooling of interests as if the merger had occurred at the beginning of fiscal
1994. (See note 13). These supplemental consolidated financial statements will
become the historical financial statements of the Company when financial
results for the year ended December 31, 1997 are issued.
Revenue Recognition--For financial reporting purposes, the Company records
revenue from product sales on the ship and bill method. Contract service
revenue is primarily generated from cost-reimbursable contracts, including
cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts, and is recorded on the basis of reimbursable
costs plus a pro rata portion of the fee. A portion of the Company's service
revenue is derived from various fixed-price contracts and is accounted for
using the percentage-of-completion method. Losses on contracts, if any, are
recorded when they become known. Contract costs for services supplied to the
U.S. government, including indirect expenses, are subject to audit by the
government's representatives. All revenue is recorded in amounts that are
expected to be realized upon final settlement.
Cash and Cash Equivalents--The Company considers all highly liquid temporary
investments including those with an original maturity of three months or less
to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of
interest bearing accounts.
Unbilled Receivables--Unbilled receivables include certain costs and a
portion of the fee and expected profit which is billable upon completion of
the contracts or the completion of certain tasks under terms of the contracts.
Inventories--Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market using the
first-in, first-out method.
Depreciation and Amortization--Property and equipment is recorded at cost.
The cost of furniture and computer and office equipment is depreciated from
the date of installation using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the various classes of property, which range from three to
seven years. The costs of software are amortized using the straight-line
method over three years.
Warranty Reserve--Estimated warranty costs are accrued at the time revenue
is recognized and are charged to cost of revenues.
Software Development Costs--Software development costs incurred for products
to be sold are capitalized after technological feasibility has been
established, which is consistent with the guidance under SFAS No. 86,
"Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or
Otherwise Marketed." As of December 31, 1996, all costs related to software
development have been expensed as incurred.
Deferred Offering Costs--Legal and other incremental costs associated with
raising capital through an initial public offering are capitalized on the
balance sheet. Such costs are subsequently netted against the proceeds of the
stock offering to which they relate. Such costs would be written off to
operations in the period in which the related offering is abandoned. There are
no deferred costs included in the balance sheets at December 31, 1994 and
1995. Deferred offering cost at December 31, 1996 was $910,442.

YURIE SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO SUPPLEMENTAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
Income Taxes--The provision for income taxes includes Federal and state
income taxes currently payable plus the net change during the year in the
deferred tax liability or asset. The current or deferred tax consequences of
all events that have been recognized in the financial statements are measured
based on provisions of enacted tax law to determine the amount of taxes
payable or refundable in future periods.
Use of Estimates--The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses in the financial statements and in the disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risk--Financial instruments that potentially subject
the Company to concentration of credit risk principally consist of trade
accounts receivable. The Company's largest commercial customer accounted for
approximately 66% and 63% of gross accounts receivable at December 31, 1995
and 1996, respectively. In addition, other customers with balances in excess
of 10% accounted for approximately 23% of gross accounts receivable as of
December 31, 1995. There were no other customers with a balance in excess of
10% as of December 31, 1996. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations
of its customers, but generally does not require collateral to support
customer receivables. Losses on uncollectible accounts have consistently been
within management's expectations and have historically been minimal.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share--Net income per common and common share
equivalents at December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996 were computed based upon the
weighted average number of common and common share equivalents, outstanding
during the period. Common share equivalents consist of stock options
calculated using the treasury stock method. Retroactive restatement has been
made for the forty-to-one stock split on January 3, 1995 and the two-to-one
stock split on April 3, 1996. Primary and fully diluted earnings per share are
the same. Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 83, common stock and options to purchase common stock issued
within one year prior to the initial filing of the Registration Statement at
prices below the assumed initial public offering price will be included as
outstanding for all periods presented, using the treasury stock method.
New Accounting Pronouncements--As of January 1, 1996, the Company adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, Accounting for
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of. The adoption had no effect
on the financial position or the results of operations of the Company. SFAS
No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, has been adopted by the
Company as of December 31, 1996. However, the Company has not adopted the
recognition and measurement provisions of SFAS No. 123 and therefore, will
provide only the applicable disclosures. (See Note 11).
Reclassifications--Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to
conform to the current year financial statement presentation.
2. LINE OF CREDIT
From January 1, 1995 to June 28, 1996, the Company had a credit agreement
with Commerce Bank, which provided for maximum borrowings of $100,000. At
December 31, 1995, there were no borrowings under this agreement.
On June 28, 1996, the Company entered into a revolving loan agreement with
Commerce Bank, which provides for maximum borrowings of $3,000,000, based upon
certain percentages of accounts receivable and inventory as borrowing bases.
The interest varies from prime to prime plus 1% depending upon the amounts
borrowed. At December 31, 1996, the prime rate was 8.25%. The agreement
expires on May 31, 1997. At December 31, 1996, there were no borrowings under
this agreement.
In October 1996, Data Labs entered into a line of credit agreement for
$400,000 that matures on April 5, 1998. The line of credit accrues interest at
a rate of prime plus 1 1/2 percent. There were no borrowings outstanding at
December 31, 1996.

reporting period. All products had been delivered as of December 31, 1996.
7. INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes is comprised of the following:
NOTES TO SUPPLEMENTAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
The provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying
the statutory federal income tax rate as follows:

Other............................................. (1.0) (0.9) 0.6
------- ------- -------
Effective tax rate.............................. 25.0% 37.7% 39.2%
======= ======= =======
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and amounts used for income tax purposes and the impact of available
net operating loss carryforwards.
The tax effect of significant temporary differences, which comprise the
deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating
its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
Cash and Cash Equivalents--The carrying amounts reported in the balance
sheets for cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.
Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable--The carrying amounts reported
in the balance sheets for accounts receivable and accounts payable
approximate fair value.
9. COMMITMENTS
Lease Obligations--The Company currently leases two facilities in Lanham,
Maryland, which leases expire in 1998 and 1999. The Company is accounting for
the costs of these leases by recognizing rent expense on a straight-line basis
over the lease term. Each lease contains an escalation clause, one related

YURIE SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO SUPPLEMENTAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
to increases in the Consumer Price Index and one providing a fixed 3% annual
increase. Both provide options for extension and one provides an option for
expansion. Data Lab, Inc. is also obligated under an operating lease for space
in Gaithersburg, Maryland and capital lease obligations for equipment. The
lease terms expire in March 1999 and May 2000, respectively. The following is
a composite schedule, by year, of minimum rental payments as of December 31,
1996:
YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, AMOUNT
------------------------ ----------
1997......................................................... $ 509,476
1998......................................................... 384,567
1999......................................................... 208,809
2000......................................................... 4,970
----------
Total minimum lease payments............................... $1,107,822
==========
Rental expense for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996, was
$49,800, $149,204, and $320,897, respectively.
Employment Agreements--The Company has employment agreements with two of its
executive officers. The agreements provide for a minimum salary level as well
as for bonuses which are determined by the Board of Directors. Each of the
employment agreements is for a one-year term that renews automatically unless
terminated by either party.
10. PENSION PLAN
Until December 31, 1995, the Company had an employee pension plan, which was
administered as a self-employment plan under Internal Revenue Service
regulations. It was Company policy to contribute annually an amount equal to
15% of qualified employees' salaries. Pension expense for the years ended
December 31, 1994, and 1995 was $38,119 and $93,557, respectively. The
investment options were employee directed. All employees are fully vested at
the end of one year of consecutive service.
Effective January 1, 1996, the plan is administered as a 401(k) profit
sharing plan that covers substantially all full time employees. Employees are
eligible to participate upon completion of one year of service and may
contribute up to 10% of their annual compensation not to exceed certain
statutory limitations. Eligible employees vest in employer contributions and
investment earnings thereon in 20% increments over a five year period. Pension
expense for the year ended December 31, 1996 totaled $37,661.
11. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
On January 3, 1995, the Board of Directors approved a stock split in the
ratio of forty-to-one that increased the number of shares, all held at that
time by the President of the Company, from 200,000 to 8,000,000.
On May 22, 1995, the Company issued 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock to Kwok
Li as compensation for his services in connection with the development of the
LDR100. Also on May 22, 1995, and June 14, 1995 the Company issued 202,400 and
6,000 shares of Common Stock, respectively, to several employees as
compensation for their services to the Company. The Company recorded these
grants at $.077 per share, the then current fair value of the Common Stock
based on an independent appraisal conducted as of May 22, 1995.
On April 3, 1996, the Board of Directors recommended, and the shareholders
approved, a two-for-one stock split on outstanding shares of common stock as
well as options outstanding. At the same time, the option price per share was
reduced by 50%.

NOTES TO SUPPLEMENTAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
The Company's Board of Directors approved a nonstatutory stock option plan
effective January 31, 1996, for which 395,800 shares of stock were approved to
be issued. On April 2, 1996, the Board of Directors recommended the stock
option plan be amended to increase the number of shares available under the
Plan to 1,250,000. This increase and the two-for-one stock split approved by
the shareholders on April 3, 1996, increased the number of shares available
under the plan to 2,500,000. Subsequently, on July 17, 1996, the Board of
Directors recommended and the shareholders approved another increase of
700,000 shares, bringing the total number of shares available under the plan
to 3,200,000. The exercise price per share was determined based upon estimated
fair value on the date of grant. Options are generally exercisable over a four
year period and expire ten years after the date of the grant.
A summary of stock option activity, described above, under the stock option
plan is as follows:
NUMBER OF
SHARES

Outstanding, January 1, 1996.................................... --
Granted:
At exercise price of $.52 per share........................... 2,103,442
At exercise price of $2.70 per share.......................... 841,100
At exercise price of $3.41 per share.......................... 24,510
At exercise price of $9.00 per share.......................... 251,380

Outstanding, December 31, 1996.................................. 3,237,188
=========
Exercisable options at December 31, 1996........................ 281,969
=========
The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans under APB No.
25. No compensation expense has been recognized in connection with the
options, as all options have been granted with an exercise price equal to the
fair value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. The Company
adopted SFAS No. 123 for disclosure purposes in 1996. For SFAS No. 123
purposes, the fair value of each option grant has been estimated as of the
date of grant using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following
weighted average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 5.96%, expected life
of three years, dividend rate of zero percent, and expected volatility of
68.30%. Using these assumptions, the fair value of the stock options granted
in 1996 is $2,959,222, which would be amortized as compensation expense over
the vesting period of the options. The options generally vest equally over
four years. Had compensation expense been determined consistent with SFAS No.
123, utilizing the assumptions detailed above, the Company's net income and
earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 1996 would have been
reduced to the following pro forma amounts:
1996
----------
Net Income:
As Reported.................................................. $2,423,672
Pro forma.................................................... $2,260,792
Net income per common share:
As Reported.................................................. $0.11
Pro forma.................................................... $0.10
The resulting pro forma compensation cost may not be representative of that
expected in future years.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
The Company's Certificate and Bylaws provide that the Company shall
indemnify to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, each person who is
involved in any litigation or other proceeding because such person is or was a
director or officer of the Company or is or was serving as an officer or
director of another entity at the request of the Company, against all expense,
loss or liability reasonably incurred or suffered in connection therewith. The
Certificate and Bylaws provide that the right to indemnification includes the
right to be paid expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of
its final disposition; provided, however, that such advance payment will only
be made upon delivery to the Company of an undertaking, by or on behalf of the
director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it is ultimately
determined that such director is not entitled to indemnification. If the
Company does not pay a proper claim for indemnification in full within 60 days
after a written claim for such indemnification is received by the Company, the
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws authorize the claimant to bring an
action against the Company and prescribe what constitutes a defense to such
action.
Section 145 of the DGCL permits a corporation to indemnify any director or
officer of the corporation against expenses (including attorney's fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought by reason
of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the
corporation, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner that he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if he had
no reason to believe his conduct was unlawful. In a derivative action, (i.e.,
one brought by or on behalf of the corporation), indemnification may be made
only for expenses, actually and reasonably incurred by any director or officer
in connection with the defense or settlement of such an action or suit, if
such person acted in good faith and in a manner that he reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no
indemnification shall be made if such person shall have been adjudged to be
liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in
which the action or suit was brought shall determine that the defendant is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses despite such
adjudication of liability.
Pursuant to Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, Article EIGHT of the Company's
Certificate eliminates the liability of a director to the corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages for such breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, except for liabilities arising (i) from any breach of the director's
duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) from acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) from
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
II-1
The Company has obtained primary and excess insurance policies insuring the
directors and officers of the Company against certain liabilities that they
may incur in their capacity as directors and officers. Under such policies,
the insurers, on behalf of the Company, may also pay amounts for which the
Company has granted indemnification to the directors or officers.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of
its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by
it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933.
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total
dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
established maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
Prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20%
change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration
statement.
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or
any material change to such information in the Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.

WHEREAS, the Company, Yurie and Data Labs desire to make certain

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises and the mutual
agreements, provisions and covenants contained in this Agreement, the parties
hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
THE MERGER
1.1 The Merger. In accordance with Section 251 of the Delaware
Corporation Law, the Company shall be merged with and into Data Labs (the
"MERGER"), and Data Labs shall be the surviving corporation (such corporation in
its capacity as such surviving corporation being hereinafter called the
"SURVIVING CORPORATION"). The terms and conditions of the Merger, the mode of
carrying the same into effect, and the manner and basis of converting shares of
each of the Constituent Corporations into the consideration which the holders of
those shares are to receive upon conversion of such shares, shall be as set
forth in this Agreement.
1.2 Effective Time. The Merger shall become effective as of the time of
the filing of the executed certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of
Delaware pursuant to Section 251(c) of the Delaware Corporation Law (the
"EFFECTIVE TIME").
1.3 Certain Effects of the Merger. As of the Effective Time, the effect
of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement, the Certificate of Merger
and the applicable provisions of the Delaware Corporation Law. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, the
separate existence of the Company shall cease and the Company shall be merged
into Data Labs; the Surviving Corporation shall possess, without further act or
deed, all the rights, privileges, powers and franchises of a public as well as
of a private nature, and be subject to all the restrictions, disabilities and
duties of each of the Constituent Corporations; and any and all rights,
privileges, powers and franchises of each of the Constituent Corporations, and
all property, real, personal and mixed, and all debts due to any of the
Constituent Corporations on whatever account, as well as stock subscriptions and
all other things in action or belonging to each of the Constituent Corporations,
shall be vested in the Surviving Corporation; and all property, rights,
privileges, powers and franchises, and all and every other interest shall be
thereafter as effectively the property of the Surviving Corporation as they were
of the several and respective Constituent Corporations, and the title to any
real estate vested by deed or otherwise, in any of the Constituent Corporations,
shall not revert or be in any way impaired by reason of the Merger; but all
rights of creditors and all liens upon any property of any of the Constituent
Corporations shall be preserved unimpaired, and all debts, liabilities and
duties of the respective Constituent Corporations shall thenceforth attach to
the Surviving Corporation, and may be enforced against it to the same extent as
if such debts, liabilities and duties had been incurred or contracted by it.
Any action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal or administrative, pending by
or against any of the Constituent Corporations shall be prosecuted as if the
Merger had not taken place, and the Surviving Corporation may be substituted in
such action or proceeding.
1.4 Certificate of Incorporation. At the Effective Time, the certificate
of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated,
substantially in the form set forth on EXHIBIT A hereto, and shall be the
certificate of incorporation of the
-2-
Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided by law and such
certificate of incorporation.
1.5 Bylaws. At the Effective Time, the bylaws of the Surviving
Corporation shall be amended and restated, substantially in the form set forth
on EXHIBIT B hereto, and shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until
thereafter amended.
1.6 Directors and Officers. The directors and officers of the Surviving
Corporation from and after the Effective Time shall be the directors and
officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, each to hold
office in accordance with applicable law and the certificate of incorporation
and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.
1.7 Escrow Shares. At the Effective Time, Yurie shall deliver to an
escrow agent (the "ESCROW AGENT") appointed pursuant to an Escrow Agreement
(the "ESCROW AGREEMENT"), 35,841 shares of Yurie Common Stock issued in the name
of the Shareholder Representative (as defined below) pursuant to Section 2.3
(the "ESCROW SHARES") to be held and applied in accordance with Article IX
herein and the escrow agreement by and among Yurie, the Shareholder
Representative (as defined below) and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company
(the "Escrow Agreement"). By virtue of their approval of this Agreement under
the Delaware Corporation Law, the shareholders of Data Labs shall be deemed to
have approved and agreed to the Escrow Agreement and its terms and conditions,
including, without limitation, the indemnification of the Shareholder
Representative.
1.8 Shareholder Representative. The shareholders of Data Labs, by virtue
of their approval of the Agreement under the Delaware Corporation Law, shall be
deemed to have irrevocably constituted and appointed Wenli Yu, David Cowan and
Thomas Smith as a committee, effective as of the Effective Time (together with
such person's permitted successors, the "SHAREHOLDER REPRESENTATIVE"), as their
true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact to enter into any agreement in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including,
without limitation, the resolution of indemnity claims under Article IX hereof
and in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, and any transactions contemplated
by the Escrow Agreement, to exercise all or any of the powers, authority and
discretion conferred on it under any such agreement, to waive any terms and
conditions of any such agreement (other than the consideration to be received by
the Data Labs shareholders in the Merger), to give and receive notices on their
behalf and to be their exclusive representative with respect to any matter,
suit, claim, action or proceeding arising with respect to any transaction
contemplated by any such agreement, including, without limitation, the defense,
settlement or compromise of any claim, action or proceeding for which Yurie or
the Company may be entitled to indemnification and the Shareholder
Representative agrees to act as, and to undertake the duties and
responsibilities of, such agent and attorney-in-fact. This power of attorney is
coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. The members constituting the
Shareholder Representative shall act by majority vote or consent. The

Labs Common Stock (treating Data Labs Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis)
at the Effective Time, and the successor(s) so named shall serve and exercise
the powers of the Shareholder Representative hereunder. If such committee is
composed of one person and no other members thereto are so named within 30 days
of the resignation or termination of the last resigning member thereof, the
remaining member of such committee shall serve as the Shareholder
Representative.

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR
OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL SUCH
SHARES ARE REGISTERED UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL
SATISFACTORY TO YURIE IS OBTAINED TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH REGISTRATION

AGREEMENT DATED AS OF DECEMBER 1, 1997, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE
OBTAINED FROM THE SECRETARY OF YURIE SYSTEMS, INC.
2.4 Exchange Agent. American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, or such

2.5 No Fractional Yurie Common Stock. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement, neither certificates nor scrip for fractional shares of Yurie
Common Stock shall be issued to any holder of Data Labs Common Stock or Data
Labs Preferred Stock in the Merger and the holder thereof shall not be entitled
to any voting or other rights of a holder of shares or a fractional share
interest. Each holder of shares of Data Labs Common Stock or Data Labs
Preferred Stock who otherwise would have been entitled to receive a fraction of
a share of Yurie
-5-
Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Yurie Common Stock to
be received by such holder) shall receive in lieu thereof cash (rounded to the
nearest whole cent), without interest, in an amount determined by multiplying
such holder's fractional interest by the Yurie Closing Price (as defined in
Section 10.9(f) of this Agreement). All amounts of cash in respect of fractional
interests which have not been claimed at the end of three years from the
Effective Time by surrender of certificates for shares of Data Labs Common Stock
or Data Labs Preferred Stock shall be repaid to the Surviving Corporation,
subject to the provisions of applicable escheat or similar laws, for the account
of the holders entitled thereto.
2.6 Exchange of Certificates; Distribution of Yurie Common Stock. The
procedures for exchanging outstanding shares of Data Labs Common Stock and Data
Labs Preferred Stock for Yurie Common Stock pursuant to the Merger are as
follows:
(a) Exchange Agent. Within five (5) business days after the Effective
Time, Yurie shall cause its transfer agent to deposit with the Exchange Agent
for the benefit of the holders of shares of Data Labs Common Stock and Data Labs
Preferred Stock, for exchange in accordance with this Section 2.6, through the
Exchange Agent, certificates representing the shares of Yurie Common Stock (such
shares of Yurie Common Stock, together with any dividends or distributions with
respect thereto, being hereinafter referred to as the "Exchange Fund") issuable
pursuant to Section 2.3 in exchange for outstanding shares of Data Labs Common
Stock and Data Labs Preferred Stock. The Exchange Agent shall not be entitled
to vote or exercise any rights of ownership with respect to any shares of Yurie
Common Stock held by it from time to time hereunder, except that it shall
receive and hold all dividends or other distributions paid or distributed with
respect to such shares for the account of the persons entitled thereto.
(b) Exchange Procedures. Within five (5) business days after the
Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of a
certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time
represented outstanding shares of Data Labs Common Stock or Data Labs Preferred
Stock (each a "Data Labs Certificate" and, collectively, the "Data Labs
Certificates") whose shares were converted pursuant to Section 2.3 into the
right to receive shares of Yurie Common Stock (i) a letter of transmittal (which
shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the
Data Labs Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Data Labs
Certificates to the Exchange Agent) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting
the surrender of the Data Labs Certificates in exchange for certificates
representing shares of Yurie Common Stock. Upon surrender of a Data Labs
Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or
agents as may be appointed by Yurie, together with such letter of transmittal,
duly executed, the holder of such Data Labs' Certificate shall be entitled to
receive in exchange therefor a certificate representing that number of whole
shares of Yurie Common Stock which such holder has the right to receive pursuant
to the provisions of this Article II and cash in lieu of any fractional shares,
and the Data Labs Certificate so surrendered shall immediately be canceled. In
the event of a transfer of ownership of Data Labs Common Stock or Data Labs
Preferred Stock which is not registered in the transfer records of Data Labs, a
certificate representing the proper number of shares of Yurie Common Stock may
be issued to a transferee if the Data Labs Certificate representing such Data
Labs Common Stock
-6-
or Data Labs Preferred Stock is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by
all documents required in evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that
any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid. Until surrendered as
contemplated by this Section 2.6, each Data Labs Certificate shall be deemed at
any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon
such surrender the certificate representing shares of Yurie Common Stock and
cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Yurie Common Stock as contemplated by
Section 2.5 above, or the rights any holder may have with respect to Dissenting
Shares.
(c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or
other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to
Yurie Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to
the holder of any unsurrendered Data Labs Certificate with respect to the shares
of Yurie Common Stock represented thereby, and no cash payment in lieu of
fractional shares shall be paid to any such holder pursuant to Section 2.5,
until the holder of record of such Data Labs Certificate shall surrender such
Data Labs Certificate. Subject to the effect of applicable laws, following
surrender of any such Data Labs Certificate, there shall be paid to the record
holder of the certificates representing whole shares of Yurie Common Stock
issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) at the time of such Yurie
Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Section 2.6 and
the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the
Effective Time previously paid with respect to such whole shares of Yurie Common
Stock, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or
other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to
surrender and a payment date subsequent to surrender payable with respect to
such whole shares of Yurie Common Stock.
(d) No Further Ownership Rights in Data Labs Common Stock or Data Labs
Preferred Stock. At the Effective Time, each holder of an outstanding
certificate or certificates for shares of Data Labs Common Stock or Data Labs
Preferred Stock shall cease to have any rights as a shareholder of Data Labs,
except such rights, if any, as such holder may have with respect to Dissenting
Shares (as hereinafter defined). All shares of Yurie Common Stock issued upon
the surrender for exchange of shares of Data Labs Common Stock or Data Labs
Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof, including any cash paid
pursuant to Sections 2.6(c) and 2.5, shall be deemed to have been issued in full
satisfaction of al rights pertaining to such shares of Data Labs Common Stock or
Data Labs Preferred Stock, and there shall be no further registration of
transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares
of Data Labs Common Stock or Data Labs Preferred Stock which were outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Data
Labs Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason,
they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Section 2.6.
(e) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund
which remains undistributed to the stockholders of Data Labs for one year after
the Effective Time shall be delivered to Yurie, upon demand, and any
stockholders of Data Labs who have not previously complied with this Section 2.6
shall thereafter look only to Yurie for payment of their claim for Yurie Common
Stock, cash in lieu of fractional shares of Yurie Common Stock, and dividends or
distributions with respect to Yurie Common Stock.
-7-
(f) No Liability. Neither Yurie nor Data Labs, nor any of their
respective directors, officers, employees or agents, shall be liable to any
holder of shares of Data Labs Common Stock or Data Labs Preferred Stock or Yurie
Common Stock, as the case may be, for such shares (or dividends or distributions
with respect thereto) delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable
abandoned property, escheat or similar law.
(g) Lost Certificates. In the event that any Data Labs Certificate
shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of
that fact by the person claims such Data Labs Certificate to be lost, stolen or
destroyed and, if required by Yurie or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such
person of a bond in such reasonable amount as Yurie or the Exchange Agent may
direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect
to such Data Labs Certificate, Yurie shall cause the Exchange Agent to issue, in
exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Data Labs Certificate the shares of
Yurie Common Stock, cash in lieu of fractional shares and unpaid dividends and
distributions on shares of Yurie Common Stock as contemplated by Sections 2.5
and 2.6.
2.7 Data Labs Stock Options. At the Effective Time, all options to
purchase shares of Data Labs Common Stock outstanding as of the Effective Time
under the Data Labs Stock Option Plan, whether vested or unvested (the "DATA
LABS OPTIONS"), shall, by virtue of the Merger and without further action on the
part of Data Labs or the holder thereof, be assumed by Yurie and shall be
converted into an option to purchase Yurie Common Stock without any other
changes in the terms and conditions of such options. The number of shares of
Yurie Common Stock that the holder of Data Labs Option shall be entitled to
receive upon the exercise of such option shall be a number of whole and
fractional shares determined by multiplying the number of shares of a Data Labs
Common Stock subject to such option, determined immediately before the Effective
Time, by the Common Exchange Ratio applicable to shares of Data Labs Common
Stock. The exercise price of each share of Yurie Common Stock subject to a Data
Labs Option shall be the amount (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) obtained
by dividing the exercise price per share of Data Labs Common Stock at which such
option is exercisable immediately before the Effective Time by the Common
Exchange Ratio applicable to shares of Data Labs Common Stock, but shall be not
less than $.01. The assumption and substitution of the Data Labs Options as
provided herein shall not give the holders of such options additional benefits
which they did not have immediately prior to the Effective Time or relieve the
holders of any obligations or restrictions applicable to their options or the
shares obtainable upon exercise of the options. Only whole shares of Yurie
Common Stock shall be issued upon exercise of any Data Labs Option, and in lieu
of receiving any fractional share of Yurie Common Stock, the holder of such
option shall receive in cash the fair market value of the fractional share, net
of the applicable exercise price of the fractional share and applicable
withholding taxes. Yurie shall (i) reserve out of its authorized but unissued
shares of Yurie Common Stock sufficient shares to provide for the exercise of
the Data Labs Options and (ii) shall register under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "SECURITIES ACT"), not later than 30 days after the Effective
Time and maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement for so long
as the Data Labs Options remain outstanding, those shares of Yurie Common Stock
to be issued upon the exercise of the Data Labs Options for a period ending on
the first date by which all Data Labs Options
-8-
have been exercised, which registration shall initially be effective under a
registration statement on Form S-8 or such other form as may be permitted under
the Securities Act.
2.8 Data Labs Warrants. At the Effective Time, all of the warrants to
purchase shares of Data Labs Common Stock outstanding as of the Effective Time
("DATA LABS WARRANTS") shall, by virtue of the Merger and without further action
on the part of Data Labs or the holder thereof, be assumed by Yurie and shall be
converted into a warrant to purchase Yurie Common Stock without any other
changes in the terms and conditions of such warrants. The number of shares of
Yurie Common Stock that the holder of a Data Labs Warrant shall be entitled to
receive upon the exercise of such warrant shall be a number of whole and
fractional shares determined by multiplying the number of shares of Data Labs
Common Stock subject to such warrant, determined immediately before the
Effective Time, by the Exchange Ratio applicable to shares of Data Labs Common
Stock. The exercise price of each share of Yurie Common Stock subject to a Data
Labs Warrant shall be the amount (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) obtained
by dividing the exercise price per share of Data Labs Common Stock at which such
warrant is exercisable immediately before the Effective Time by the Common
Exchange Ratio applicable to shares of Data Labs Common Stock, but shall be not
less than $.01. The assumption and substitution of the warrants as provided
herein shall not give the holders of such warrants additional benefits which
they did not have immediately prior to the Effective Time or relieve the holders
of any obligations or restrictions applicable to their warrants or the shares
obtainable upon exercise of the warrants. Only whole shares of Yurie Common
Stock shall be issued upon exercise of any Data Labs Warrants, and in lieu of
receiving any fractional share of Yurie Common Stock, the holder of such Data
Labs Warrant shall receive in cash the fair market value of the fractional
share, net of the applicable exercise price of the fractional share and
applicable withholding taxes. Yurie shall reserve out of its authorized but
unissued shares of Common Stock sufficient shares to provide for the exercise of
the Data Labs Warrants.
2.9 Closing of Stock Transfer Books. The stock transfer books of Data
Labs shall be closed at the close of business on the business day immediately
preceding the Effective Time. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Data
Labs Common Stock or Data Labs Preferred Stock which is not registered in the
transfer records of Data Labs, the shares of Yurie Common Stock and cash for
fractional shares (if any) to be issued in the Merger as provided herein may be
delivered to a transferee, if the certificate representing such Data Labs Common
Stock or Data Labs Preferred Stock is presented to the Exchange Agent,
accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and
by payment of any applicable stock transfer taxes.
2.10 Dissenting Shares. Shares of Data Labs Common Stock or Data Labs
Preferred Stock that have not been voted for adoption of this Agreement and with
respect to which appraisal rights shall have been properly perfected in
accordance with Section 262 of the Delaware Corporation Law (the "DISSENTING
SHARES") shall not be converted into the right to receive shares of Yurie Common
Stock and cash (if any) in accordance with this Agreement at or after the
Effective Time, unless and until the holder of such Dissenting Shares withdraws
such holder's demand for such appraisal in accordance with Section 262(k) of the
Delaware Corporation Law or becomes ineligible for such appraisal. If a holder
of Dissenting Shares shall
-9-
withdraw in accordance with Section 262(k) of the Delaware Corporation Law or
such holder's demand for such appraisal shall become ineligible for such
appraisal, then, as of the later of the Effective Time or the occurrence of such
event, such holder's Dissenting Shares shall cease to be Dissenting Shares and
shall be converted into the right to receive the shares of Yurie Common Stock
and cash (if any) into which such holder's Data Labs Common Stock or Data Labs
Preferred Stock was converted as of the Effective Time pursuant to this
Agreement.
