networking and telecommunications businesses (the "Fibronics Business") in
Germany, the United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Israel. The
purchase price for the Fibronics Business was approximately $22,800,000, which
was paid using a combination of cash and Common Stock of the Company. This
acquisition resulted in non-recurring charges in the amount $17,795,000 and
$6,974,000 for purchased technology in progress and restructuring, respectively.
As a result of the non-recurring charges incurred in connection with the
Fibronics Acquisition and the issuance of $30,000,000 principal amount of
