Press Release
Interphase Announces 3rd Quarter 2000 Results
Company Posts 12th Straight Profitable Quarter
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 19, 2000--Interphase Corporation (Nasdaq:INPH - news), an international supplier of next generation networking technologies, today reported financial results for its third quarter 2000.

Revenues for the third quarter were $13.3 million versus $20.5 million in the prior year`s quarter. Net income was $373,000, or $.06 per share, versus $1,278,000, or $.20 per share in the prior year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, net profits are up from the prior year. Interphase recorded revenues of $40.2 million, compared with revenues of $55.3 million during the first nine months of 1999. The company reported net income of $2,363,000 or $.38 per share for the nine-month period during 2000, compared with net income of $2,222,000, or $.37 per share, for the first nine months of 1999.

``While net income and earnings per share have increased over 1999 results, our revenue is down from the prior year`s third quarter,`` said Steve Kovac, Interphase Chief Financial Officer. ``The third quarter of 1999 was a historical high for Interphase, when a single customer accounted for over 50% of the Company`s revenues. In 2000, the revenue and customer base has been diversified, thus reducing our dependence on a single customer. Revenues from other customers grew 31% from the 1999 third quarter.``

The company`s gross margin increased to 53% from 48% in the third quarter of the prior year. Operating expenses were $6.4 million versus $7.1 million, a 10% decrease from the third quarter of 1999. The cash and marketable securities position at the end of the quarter was at an all time high of $20.8 million.

``In the third quarter we began shipping our new family of Fibre Channel HBA products, and landed our first major new OEM account. In addition, key equipment providers designing next generation Internet and wireless communication systems have embraced our Broadband telecommunication controllers with overwhelming enthusiasm. We have delivered our twelfth straight profitable quarter while continuing to build the foundation of our future,`` said Greg Kalush, Interphase president and CEO.

In January 2000, the remaining $830,000 due for the technology license fee was collected and recorded as a gain on disposal of discontinued operations. In addition, the Company sold the remainder of its 20% interest in Quescom for $400,000, resulting in a gain of $91,000.

In September 1999, the Company sold the remainder of its VOIP business, Zirca Corporation ("Zirca") along with the technologies developed by Zirca for $300,000 cash and stock valued at $517,680 to UniView Technologies, resulting in a gain of $140,000, net of $86,000 tax.

8. SHAREHOLDERS` EQUITY




At the annual meeting of Shareholders on May 3, 2000, the Shareholders of the Company ratified and approved an amendment to the Company`s Articles of Incorporation to change the par value of the Company`s Common Stock from no par value to a par value of $.10 per share. As such, the financial statements have been changed to reflect this amendment for all periods presented.

9. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS 133 establishes new standards of accounting and reporting for derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS 133 requires that all derivatives be recognized at fair value in the balance sheet, and the corresponding gains or losses be reported either in the statement of operations or as a components of comprehensive income, depending on the type of hedge relationship that exists. SFAS 133 as amended by SFAS 137 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company does not expect SFAS 133 to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"), "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." SAB 101 provides guidance on applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition issues in financial statements. The Company will adopt SAB 101 as required in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000. The Company believes that SAB 101 will not have a significant effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations

Item 2. MANAGEMENT`S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
During the first quarter 2000, the Company completed the sale of its VOIP business; accordingly the Company`s consolidated financial statements and notes included herein, for all periods presented reflect the VOIP business as a discontinued operation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30.

Revenue from product sales is recorded when the earnings process has been completed, as evidenced by a delivery, a fixed and determinable price and when collectibility is reasonably assured.

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2000 ("third quarter 2000") were $13,260,000. Revenues for the same period in 1999 ("comparative period") were $20,511,000. While the Company`s Storage product revenues have declined in the third quarter of 2000 as compared to the comparative period, the Networking product revenues and Broadband Telecommunication controller revenues have increased. The decrease in revenue is primarily attributable to the effects of the transitional period where the Company is refocusing its efforts on its new Fibre Channel and Broadband Telecommunication controller products. In addition, the Company developed a strategy to end-of-life many of its legacy products, which began in the second quarter 2000. Further more, 44% of the revenues for the comparable period were from Hewlett Packard`s purchase of a Fiber Channel card, that the Company announced in December 1999 would be going away by the end of 1999.

Networking product revenues, consisting of FDDI, Ethernet, ATM, Fast Ethernet and WAN, represented 56% of total revenues for the third quarter 2000, as compared to 31% for the comparative period. FDDI product revenues increased 119%, Ethernet product revenues decreased 100%, ATM product revenues decreased 15%, Fast Ethernet product revenues declined 44%, and WAN product revenues decreased 37% as compared to the comparative period. FDDI, Ethernet, ATM, Fast Ethernet and WAN product revenues represented 39%, 0%, 6%, 9% and 2% of total Networking revenues, respectively for the third quarter 2000.

Mass storage product revenues, consisting of SCSI and Fibre Channel adapter cards, represented 27% of total revenues for the third quarter 2000, as compared to 62% for the comparative period. SCSI product revenues increased 147% while Fibre Channel product revenues decreased 79% over the comparative period.

Broadband telecommunication controller revenues represented 14% of total revenues for the third quarter 2000, as compared to 6% for the comparative period. Broadband telecommunication controller revenues grew 58% from the comparative period.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Revenues for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 were $40,177,000 as compared to $55,337,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999. Revenues from Networking LAN, Mass storage, Networking Broadband Telecommunication controller and Networking WAN were 36%, 40%, 18%, and 3% of total revenues respectively, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000.
The Company will continue to focus on revenues from Fibre Channel adapter and Broadband Telecommunication controller products, which are expected to offset revenue declines in older technologies such as FDDI and Ethernet.

One customer accounted for 11% and 56% of the Company`s revenue in the third quarter of 2000 and 1999, respectively.

The gross margin percentage for the third quarter 2000 was 53% and 48% for the comparative period. The gross margin percentage for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 was 54% and 47% respectively. The increase in gross margin is primarily due to a continued focus on product cost improvements, selling a higher percentage of products with a greater gross margin than the comparative period, and a reduction in product sales to certain OEM`s at a lower gross margin related to volume discounts. Since the Company is in a migration of older products to new Fibre Channel and Broadband Telecommunication controller products, the gross margin is expected to be between 48% to 50% in subsequent quarters, as these new products are expected to be priced competitively.
Operating expenses for the third quarter 2000 were $6,357,000 as compared to $7,113,000 for the comparative period. Operating expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 were $19,085,000 and $19,984,000 respectively.

Operating expenses are expected to remain consistent as a percentage of revenues.

Interest income increased during the third quarter 2000 as compared to the comparative period, attributable to an increase in interest income earned on larger cash balances deposited in interest bearing accounts.

Interest expense decreased during the third quarter 2000 as compared to the comparative period, attributable to a continued reduction of interest bearing debt.

Other income increased $676,000 for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2000, primarily as a result of a hedging transaction on certain marketable securities received in the sale of the Company`s VOIP business. As of June 30, 2000 these hedging transactions resulted in a gain of approximately $613,000.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company`s cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities aggregated $20,841,000 at September 30, 2000, and $16,276,000 at December 31, 1999. The Company`s increased cash position is primarily due to the collection of cash related to the disposition of Quescom (see note 6), and the collection of accounts receivable, offset by the purchase of inventory, fixed assets, payment on debt, tax payments and purchase of common stock. In the next twelve months, scheduled debt payments on the Company`s credit facility are approximately $2,192,000.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Effective October 1998, the Company approved a stock repurchase agreement with Motorola, Inc. to purchase all of the shares owned by Motorola for $4,125,000, ratably from October 1998 to July 2002. Under the terms of the agreement, Motorola retains the right as an equity owner and has assigned its voting rights to the Company. The Company plans to cancel the stock upon each repurchase. Prior to the repurchase agreement, Motorola owned approximately 12% of the Company`s outstanding common stock. The future scheduled payments are classified as redeemable common stock in the accompanying consolidated Balance Sheet. As of September 30, 2000, 334,669 shares have been repurchased for $2,091,681 and retired.
The Company expects that its cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and proceeds from its credit facility will be adequate to meet foreseeable cash needs for the next 12 months.
