DIGI INTERNATIONAL INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form
10-Q have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and
footnote disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have been condensed or
omitted, pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company's 1997
Annual Report and Form 10-K.
The condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein as of March 31,
1998 and for the three month and six month periods ended March 31, 1998 and
1997, reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which, other than
the restructuring charge recorded in the three and six month periods ended March
31, 1997, consist only of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair
presentation of the consolidated financial position and the consolidated results
of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The consolidated
results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of
results for the full year.
2. INVESTMENT IN AETHERWORKS CORPORATION
Through March 31, 1998, under a financing arrangement, the Company purchased
$13,796,525 of convertible notes from AetherWorks Corporation, a development
stage company engaged in the development of wireless and dial-up remote access
technology. The Company has no obligation to purchase additional notes. The
convertible notes held by the Company at March 31, 1998 are convertible into
62.7% of AetherWorks' common stock, based on AetherWorks' present
capitalization. In connection with the financing arrangement, the Company has
also guaranteed $3,060,000 of lease obligations of AetherWorks. In addition, in
the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company leased to AetherWorks $1,325,000
of computer equipment under a three-year direct financing lease.
As of September 30, 1997, because of significant uncertainty as to the future of
AetherWorks Corporation, the Company wrote off its remaining investment in
AetherWorks and accrued and expensed its then remaining future obligation to
purchase additional convertible notes. In addition, the Company has also
accrued $1,350,000 for its estimated probable obligation resulting from its
guarantees of certain AetherWorks lease obligations.
For the three month and six month periods ended March 31, 1997, the Company
reported its investment in AetherWorks on the equity method and reported net
losses of $1,589,681 and $3,109,470, respectively. Such losses represented 100%
of AetherWorks net losses for the periods. The percentage of AetherWorks' net
losses included in the Company's financial
6
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
2. INVESTMENT IN AETHERWORKS CORPORATION (CONTINUED)
statements was based upon the percentage of financial support provided by the
Company (versus other investors) to AetherWorks during the periods. No such
losses were recorded in the three month or six month periods ended March 31,
1998, due to the aforementioned write off of the Company's AetherWorks
investment and the accrual of its remaining funding obligations to AetherWorks
in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997.
3. INVENTORIES
Inventories, net are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined
on the first-in, first-out method. Inventories at March 31, 1998 and September
30, 1997 consisted of the following:
March 31, 1998 September 30, 1997
--------------- ------------------
Raw materials $6,966,551 $7,967,598
Work in process 6,910,102 8,704,357
Finished goods 5,732,742 7,011,357
4. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
Net income (loss) per share for all periods presented has been calculated
pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
128, which the Company adopted in the first quarter of fiscal 1998. Basic net
income (loss) per share is calculated based on only the weighted average of
common shares outstanding during the period. Net income (loss) per share,
assuming dilution, is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted
average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during each
period. The Company's only common stock equivalents are those that result from
dilutive common stock options. Such common stock equivalents were excluded in
determining the weighted average common and common stock equivalents outstanding
for the three month and six month periods ended March 31, 1997, because their
effect was antidilutive.
5. RECLASSIFICATION OF CERTAIN EXPENSES
Certain costs relating to systems support and communication costs, which
previously were included in general and administrative expenses, have been
reclassified into sales and marketing and research and development expenses for
the three month and six month periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997. Such
amounts were $853,158 and $1,706,316 for the three month and six month periods
ended March 31, 1998 and $649,981 and $1,316,622 for the three month and six
month periods ended March 31, 1997, respectively. These reclassifications had
no impact on previously reported operating income (loss) or net income (loss).

6. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Discussion of legal matters is incorporated by reference from Part II, Item I of
this Form 10-Q "Legal Proceedings" and should be considered an integral part of
these consolidated condensed financial statements and accompanying notes. The
ultimate outcomes of the lawsuits cannot be determined at this time, and no
potential assessment of the probable or possible effects of such litigation, if
any, on the Company's financial position, liquidity or future operations can be
made.

REVIEW REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of
Digi International Inc.:
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Digi
International Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 1998, and the related
condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three month and six
month periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, and cash flows for the six month
periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997. These condensed consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted
in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which
is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a
whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for
them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1997, and the
related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the year then
ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated December 15, 1997, we
expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In
our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed
consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1997, is fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it
has been derived.

NET SALES
Net sales for the three month and six month periods ended March 31,1998 were
higher than net sales for the corresponding periods ended March 31, 1997 by
approximately $4.7 million and $5.0 million or 11.6% and 6.1% respectively. The
majority of the increase was due to the Company completing its effort to reduce
inventory levels in the distribution channel through the first fiscal quarter of
1998, resulting in a net increase in sales into the distribution channel during
the second quarter of fiscal 1998.
Net sales to the distribution markets, as a percentage of total net sales,
increased to 72.4% and 68.0% for the three month and six month periods ended
March 31, 1998, as compared to 60.5% and 64.8% for the comparable periods of
1997. Sequentially, net sales to the distribution markets for the three month
period ended March 31, 1998 increased 20.8%, as compared to the three month
period ended December 31, 1997. The increase was directly related to the
Company completing its program of reducing inventory levels, as previously
discussed.
10
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONTINUED)
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
NET SALES (CONTINUED)
Net sales to original equipment manufacturers (OEM's), as a percentage of total
net sales, were 19.8% and 23.5% for the respective three and six month periods
ended March 31, 1998, as compared to 25.0% and 22.4% for the comparable periods
in 1997.
The decline in the second quarter of fiscal 1998 was due to a decline in demand
in print servers and a shift by certain OEM customers to a just in time shipment
method, thereby reducing the amount of orders for the quarter. Sequentially,
net sales to OEM's for the three month period ended March 31, 1998 declined
23.8% compared to the three month period ended December 31, 1997. The Company
expects the OEM portion of the Company's business in the third quarter of fiscal
1998 to approximate the overall six month 1998 percentage of total net sales.
GROSS MARGIN
Gross margin for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 1998 was 51.2%
and 50.7%, respectively, as compared to 47.8% and 47.1% for the comparable
periods in 1997. Such increases versus 1997 were due primarily to a decrease of
historically lower margin OEM and physical layer product net sales as a
percentage of total net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and to a
$1 million reduction in rebates during the first fiscal quarter of 1998.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 1998 decreased
11.8% versus operating expenses (excluding $10.5 million of restructuring
charges) for the corresponding period ended March 31, 1997 and decreased as a
percentage of net sales to 36.4% for the three month period ended March 31, 1998
from 46.1% (excluding restructuring charges) for the three month period ended
March 31, 1997. Operating expenses for the six month period ended March 31,
1998 decreased by 19.8% versus operating expenses (excluding restructuring
charges) for the six month period ended March 31, 1997. As a percentage of net
sales, operating expenses declined to 36.6% for the six month period ended March
31, 1998, from 48.4% (excluding restructuring charges) for the corresponding
period in 1997.
Such declines were due to reductions in the workforce, decreased marketing costs
and cost savings achieved through consolidation of research and development
functions.
The Company expects that operating expenses for subsequent quarters of fiscal
1998 will be similar to or slightly higher than the $16.4 million incurred in
the three months ended March 31, 1998.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONTINUED)
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
OTHER INCOME
The increase in other income for the three month and six month periods ended
March 31, 1998 was a result of additional interest income earned on increased
cash and cash equivalent balances.
AETHERWORKS CORPORATION NET LOSS
In connection with the Company's purchase of $13.8 million of convertible
notes from AetherWorks Corporation, a development stage company engaged in
the development of wireless and dial-up remote access technology, the
Company's ownership interest upon conversion would be a majority of
AetherWorks' common stock. In fiscal 1997, the Company reported its
investment in AetherWorks on the equity method and recorded net losses of
$1,589,681 and $3,109,470 for the three and six month periods ended March 31,
1997, respectively. These net losses represent 100% of AetherWorks' net
losses for such periods. The percentage of AetherWorks' net losses included
in the Company's financial statements was based upon the percentage of
financial support provided by the Company (versus other investors) during
such periods. The Company wrote off its investment in Aetherworks and accrued
its then remaining obligations to purchase additional convertible notes and
also accrued an additional $1.4 million for its estimated probable obligation
resulting from its guarantees of certain Aetherworks lease obligations as of
September 30, 1997. As such, no losses were recorded in the three month or
six month periods ended March 31, 1998. The Company completed its remaining
obligations to purchase additional convertible notes during the second fiscal
quarter of 1998.
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes have been accrued at an overall effective rate of 35.3% and 35.4%
for the respective three and six month periods ended March 31, 1998. Due to the
net losses incurred in both the three and six month periods ended March 31,
1997, the Company had recorded an income tax benefit of $1,843,473 and
$2,425,905, respectively. Such benefits were lower than those which would have
been determined using the overall statutory income tax rate due to the
non-deductibility of certain intangible assets written off as part of the
restructuring charge and the AetherWorks net losses.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company has financed its operations principally with funds generated from
operations. Investing activities for the three month and six month periods
ended March 31, 1998 consisted of purchases of equipment and capital
improvements, including a new enterprise wide computer system and intangibles
and the final purchases of AetherWorks Corporation convertible notes. Equipment,
system and other purchases totaled $3,469,771 during the six month period ended

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONTINUED)
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED)
March 31, 1998. The final convertible note purchases from AetherWorks
amounted to $2 million for the six month period ended March 31, 1998. The
Company has no further financial obligations under its agreements with
AetherWorks Corporation other than approximately $1.4 million for its
estimated probable obligation resulting from its guarantees of certain
AetherWorks lease obligations.
At March 31, 1998, the Company had working capital of approximately $72 million
and no debt. The Company has negotiated a $5 million unsecured line of credit
with its bank, but has not utilized such line. The Company's management
believes that current financial resources, cash generated from operations and
the Company's potential capacity for debt and/or equity financing will be
sufficient to fund current and future business operations.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
Substantially all of the Company's foreign transactions are negotiated, invoiced
and paid in U.S. dollars.
INFLATION
Management believes inflation has not had a material effect on the Company's
operations or on its financial position.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
As described in Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the
Company, in the first fiscal quarter of 1998, adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share."
In addition, during the first fiscal quarter of 1998, the Emerging Issues Task
Force of the Financial Accounting Standards Board released Issue No. 97-13,
"Accounting for Costs Incurred in Connection with a Consulting Contract or an
Internal Project That Combines Business Process Reengineering and Information
Technology Transformation" (EITF 97-13). The Task Force reached a consensus
that the cost of business process reengineering activities, whether done
internally or by third parties, is to be expensed as incurred. This consensus
did not have a significant impact on the Company in its fiscal first and second
quarters of 1998. The Company, however, will incur future costs in connection
with the completion of its enterprise-wide information systems implementation
project that will be required to be expensed pursuant to EITF 97-13. Such
amounts are not expected to be material.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements made above, which are summarized below, are forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results may be
materially different. Factors that could cause actual results to differ include
those identified as follows:
THE EXPECTATION THAT THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER (OEM) PORTION OF THE
COMPANY'S BUSINESS WILL RETURN TO THE OVERALL SIX MONTH PERCENTAGE OF TOTAL NET
SALES OF MARCH 31, 1998 IN THE THIRD FISCAL QUARTER - This expectation may be
impacted by unanticipated revenue opportunities or changes in ordering levels
that may reduce expected levels of net sales to OEMs.
THE EXPECTATION THAT OPERATING EXPENSES IN THE REMAINING QUARTERS OF FISCAL 1998
WILL BE AT LEVELS SIMILAR TO OR SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN THOSE INCURRED IN THE
SECOND FISCAL QUARTER OF 1998 - This expectation may be impacted by presently
unanticipated revenue opportunities or by unanticipated expenses.
THE BELIEF THAT THE COMPANY'S CURRENT FINANCIAL RESOURCES, CASH GENERATED FROM
OPERATIONS AND THE COMPANY'S POTENTIAL CAPACITY FOR DEBT AND/OR EQUITY FINANCING
WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO FUND CURRENT AND ANTICIPATED BUSINESS OPERATIONS - Changes
in anticipated operating results, credit availability and equity market
conditions may further enhance or inhibit the Company's ability to maintain or
raise appropriate levels of cash.

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On January 3, 1997, the Company and certain of its previous officers were named
as defendants in a putative securities class action lawsuit in the United States
District Court for the District of Minnesota on behalf of an alleged class of
purchasers of its common stock during the period January 25, 1996, through
December 23, 1996. Between January 17, 1997 and March 7, 1997, four similar
putative securities class actions also were commenced. By Memorandum and Order
dated April 2, 1997, the District Court consolidated all five of the putative
securities class actions for all purposes including trial, appointed 21 persons
to serve as lead plaintiffs in the consolidated class actions, and allowed the
lead plaintiffs to file and serve a consolidated class action complaint.
On May 12, 1997, a consolidated amended class action complaint (the
"Consolidated Amended Complaint") was filed in the combined actions, which are
captioned IN RE DIGI INTERNATIONAL INC. SECURITIES LITIGATION, Master File No.
97-5 (JRT/RLE) (U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota). The
Consolidated Amended Complaint alleges that the Company and its previous
officers Ervin F. Kamm, Jr., Gerald A. Wall and Gary L. Deaner violated the
federal securities laws by, among other things, misrepresenting and/or omitting
material information concerning the Company's operations and financial results.
The Consolidated Amended Complaint seeks compensatory damages in an unspecified
amount plus interest against all defendants, jointly and severally, and an award
of attorneys' fees, experts' fees and costs.
On July 3, 1997, defendants served a motion to dismiss the Consolidated Amended
Complaint on the ground, among others, that it fails to plead claims in
accordance with applicable law. The motion to dismiss was argued before the
District Court on October 31, 1997. A ruling has not yet been received.
On February 25, 1997, the Company and certain of its previous officers also were
named as defendants in a securities lawsuit filed in the United States District
Court for the District of Minnesota by the Louisiana State Employees Retirement
System and entitled LOUISIANA STATE EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT SYSTEM IN BEHALF OF

(JRT/RLE) (U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota). On June 3, 1997,
the Louisiana State Employees Retirement System filed an Amended Complaint (the
"Louisiana Amended Complaint"). The Louisiana Amended Complaint alleges that
the Company and its previous officers Ervin F. Kamm, Jr., Gerald A. Wall and
Gary L. Deaner violated federal securities laws and state common law by, among
other things, misrepresenting and/or omitting material information concerning
the Company's operations and financial results.
