INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Stockholders and Board of Directors
E.mergent, Inc.
Golden Valley, Minnesota
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of E.mergent, Inc. (the Company)
as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related statements of operations,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. 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 auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. 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 provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of E.mergent, Inc. as of December 31, 2001 and
2000, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then
ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND 2000
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF BUSINESS - E.mergent, Inc. (the Company) is a provider of
products and services for visual communication solutions. The Company
sells its products and services through a global network of resellers
and original equipment manufacturers.
The Company extends credit in the normal course of business to its
customers who are generally companies in the videoconferencing, audio
visual, medical, educational, and technology industries. The Company
performs credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and
generally requires no collateral.
USE OF ESTIMATES - The presentation of financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. The Company's estimates consist principally of reserves for
uncollectible accounts receivable, lower of cost or market inventory
adjustments, product warranty, and the valuation of deferred tax assets.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - The fair value of the Company's accounts
receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, line of credit and notes
payable approximate their carrying value due to their short-term nature.
The fair value of the Company's long-term debt approximates carrying
value due to its variable interest rate.
REVENUE RECOGNITION - The Company recognizes revenue from product sales
at the time of product shipment or at the completion of installation if
customer acceptance is required. The Company transfers the risks and
rewards of the products, including title, at this time.
The Company recognizes revenue on maintenance contracts ratably over the
life of the contract.
Shipping and handling costs are recorded as sales, and the offsetting
expense is recorded in cost of sales.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - For purposes of the statement of cash flows,
the Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of
three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
INVENTORIES - Materials, work-in-process, and finished goods are stated
at the lower of moving average cost or market.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT - Property and equipment are recorded at cost.
Depreciation is computed over estimated useful lives using principally
the straight-line method. Maintenance and repairs are charged to
operations, and additions or improvements are capitalized. Items of
property sold, retired, or otherwise disposed of are removed from the
assets and accumulated depreciation accounts and any gains or loss on
disposal are reflected in operations; major improvements and betterments
are capitalized. The present values of capital lease obligations are
classified as long-term debt and the related assets are included in
machinery and equipment. Amortization of machinery and equipment under
capital leases is included in depreciation expense.
AMORTIZATION OF LNTANGIBLE ASSETS - Patents are being amortized using
the straight-line method over seven years. Noncompete agreements are
being amortized using the straight-line method over the 12-year life of
the
9
agreement. Goodwill, representing the excess cost over net book value of
acquired companies, is amortized using the straight-line method over 10
years.
RECOVERABILITY OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS - The Company reviews its long-lived
assets periodically to determine potential impairment by comparing the
carrying value of the assets with expected net cash flows expected to be
provided by operating activities of the business or related products.
Should the sum of the expected future net cash flows be less than the
carrying value, the Company would determine whether an impairment loss
should be recognized. An impairment loss would be measured by comparing
the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the
asset based on the discounted cash flows expected to be generated by the
asset. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, no impairment loss provision is
required or recorded in the financial statements.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS - Research and development costs are
charged to operations when incurred.
INCOME TAXES - Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined
based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases
of assets and liabilities using tax rates in effect when the differences
are expected to reverse. Income tax expense is the tax payable for the
period and the change during the period in deferred income tax assets
and liabilities.
EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE - Basic net income per common share is based
on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each
year. Diluted net income per common share takes into effect the dilutive
effect of potential common shares outstanding. The Company's only
potential common shares outstanding are stock options and stock
warrants, which resulted in a dilutive effect of 176,694 and 395,638
shares in 2001 and 2000, respectively. The total number of anti-dilutive
stock options and warrants was 151,000 and 87,000 as of December 31,
2001 and 2000, respectively. The Company calculates the dilutive effect
of outstanding options using the treasury stock method. The following
data show the amounts used in computing the weighted average number of
shares of dilutive potential common stock at December 31:
2001 2000
Weighted average number of shares used
in basic earnings per share 5,844,860 5,741,330
Effect of dilutive stock options 176,694 395,638
----------- -----------
6,021,554 6,136,968
=========== ===========
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES - On January 1, 2001, the
Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
133, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING Activities, as
amended by SFAS No. 138, ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
AND CERTAIN HEDGING ACTIVITIES. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging
activities. It requires that all derivatives, including those embedded
in other contracts, be recognized as either assets or liabilities and
that those financial instruments be measured at fair value. The
accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on their
intended use and designation. Management has reviewed the requirements
of SFAS No. 133 and has determined that they have no freestanding or
embedded derivatives. All contracts that contain provisions meeting the
definition of a derivative also meet the requirements of, and have been
designated as, normal purchases or sales. The Company's policy is to not
use freestanding derivatives and to not enter into contracts with terms
that cannot be designated as normal purchases or sales.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION - The functional currency is the U.S.
dollar for each foreign country in which the Company operates. The
Company's foreign offices act as distributors for the Company's
products and services rather than as stand-alone entities.
RECLASSIFICATIONS - Certain amounts in the 2000 financial statements
have been reclassified to conform to the 2001 financial statement
presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income or
stockholders' equity as previously reported.
10
2. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS
MEDCAM TECHNOLOGY, INC. - In February 2000, the Company sold certain
assets acquired in 1998 as part of the Video Dynamics, Inc. (VDI)
acquisition in exchange for $108,000 payable over three years. In
addition, the remaining related employment agreements were terminated
along with a $10,000 note payable.
As part of the agreement, the Company executed a $150,000 note payable
over 12 months to MedCam Technology, Inc. (MedCam), a new company
started by the VDI founders, in exchange for a perpetual option to buy
20% of MedCam for $1. In addition, a three-year reseller agreement was
executed with MedCam, which entitles the Company to a 5% royalty on
sales of the MedCam Pro and MedCam Pro Plus products. The Company
accounts for its investment in MedCam using the cost method of
accounting.
3. INVENTORIES

At December 31, 1999, the Company had a $750,000 obligation, which was
due and paid in full in April 2000, to a shareholder for a twelve-year
noncompete agreement. The shareholder had the option to defer payment in
whole or in part for up to twelve one-year periods. Interest was to
begin accruing on this obligation upon the shareholder's first deferral
at the Company's short-term cost of borrowing. As the obligation was
paid in April 2000, no interest was due under terms of the agreement.
5. LINE OF CREDIT
At December 31, 2001, the Company has available a $2,750,000 bank
revolving note, secured by substantially all assets, that expires April
30, 2002. Interest is computed on actual days elapsed at an annual rate
equal to the prime rate as quoted by THE WALL STREET JOURNAL. The note
is payable on demand. The terms of the note require the Company to
maintain certain financial ratios. The Company was in compliance with
all financial covenants as of December 31, 2001. The amount outstanding

the Company's stock. The plan is substantially the same as the plan
discussed above. However, the exercise price may be lower than, greater
than, or equal to the stock price at the date of issuance.
A summary of the Company's stock option plans as of December 31, 2001
and 2000 and changes during the years ended on those dates is listed

Effective October 1, 1998, the Company adopted the E.mergent, Inc.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the Plan). All full-time employees are
eligible to participate in the Plan, effective upon their date of hire.
The Plan allows eligible employees to purchase shares of common stock
through the open market on a quarterly basis at the lesser of 85% of the
fair market value on the beginning or ending dates of the period, with
the remaining 15% paid for by the Company. A total of 34,526 and 33,233
shares was purchased by the Plan during 2001 and 2000, respectively.
The Company sponsors a discretionary 401(k) profit sharing plan and
trust, covering employees who are over 18 years of age and have
completed 30 days of service. The Company contributed $0 and $19,156 to
the plan in 2001 and 2000, respectively.
13. INFORMATION CONCERNING INDUSTRY SEGMENTS AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS
The Company classifies its businesses into two segments: Products
Division (VideoLabs), which designs, manufactures, and markets
collaboration-based peripherals; and Services Division (Acoustic
Communication Systems) which specializes in the design, installation,
support, and service of multimedia systems.
At December 31, 2001, the Company had four customers who accounted for
approximately $767,000 of the outstanding trade accounts receivable
balance. At December 31, 2000, the Company had four customers who
accounted for approximately $925,000 of the outstanding trade accounts
receivable balance.
15
During 2001 and 2000, the Company had total sales outside the United
States of approximately $2,506,000 and $2,397,000, respectively. Of
these amounts, approximately $1,942,000 and $2,047,000, respectively,
were sales to customers in Europe; approximately $165,000 and $152,000,
respectively, were sales to customers in the Asia/Pacific region; and
approximately $399,000 and $199,000, respectively, were sales to
customers in South America.
In 2001 and 2000, the Company had a supplier from which it made
purchases of approximately $3,206,000 and $1,627,000, respectively.
Although no long-term supply contract exists, the Company believes there
are alternative suppliers of this raw material.
Information concerning the Company's operations by segment is presented
below. Note that management does not assign asset balances or specific
property plant and equipment items to the two segments. Depreciation
expense is allocated to the segments.

14. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
SFAS No. 141, BUSINESS COMBINATIONS, and SFAS No. 142, GOODWILL AND
OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS. SFAS No. 141 eliminates the
pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations
after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 establishes new standards for
accounting for goodwill and intangible assets and is effective for the
Company on January 1, 2002. Management has not determined the impact
that SFAS No. 142 will have upon adoption.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, ACCOUNTING FOR ASSET
RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS. SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting and
reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible
long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. SFAS No.
143 applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of
long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction,
development, and/or the normal operation of a long-lived asset, except
for certain obligations of lessees. SFAS No. 143 amends SFAS No. 19,
FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING BY OIL AND GAS PRODUCING COMPANIES.
SFAS No. 143 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2003. Management
is currently assessing what impact, if any, SFAS No. 143 will have on
the Company's financial position or results of operations.
16
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, ACCOUNTING FOR THE
IMPAIRMENT OR DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS. SFAS No. 144 addresses
financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of
long-lived assets and supersedes SFAS No. 121, ACCOUNTING FOR THE
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED
OF, and the accounting and reporting provisions of Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 30, REPORTING THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - REPORTING
THE EFFECTS OF DISPOSAL OF A SEGMENT OF A BUSINESS, AND EXTRAORDINARY,
UNUSUAL, AND INFREQUENTLY OCCURRING EVENTS AND TRANSACTIONS, for the
disposal of a segment of a business (as previously defined in that
Opinion). SFAS No. 144 also amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51,
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, to eliminate the exception to
consolidation for a subsidiary for which control is likely to be
temporary. SFAS No. 144 was effective for the Company on January 1,
2002. The Company does not expect SFAS No. 144 to have a material effect
on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
15. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On January 21, 2002, the Company signed a merger agreement with ClearOne
Communications, Inc. (formerly Gentner Communications Corporation)
(ClearOne) for total consideration of $7,300,000 in cash and 873,000
ClearOne shares. In the merger, each share of company common stock will
be exchanged for a fraction of a share of ClearOne Common Stock and a
fixed amount of cash, calculated at completion of the merger. Under the
merger agreement, the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of
ClearOne. Following regulatory and shareholder approval, the merger is
expected to be completed in April 2002.

FOOTNOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The condensed balance sheets as of March 31, 2002, the condensed
statements of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March
31, 2002 and 2001 have been prepared by E.mergent, Inc. (for the purposes of
Notes 1 to 6 below,"are" or the "Company") without audit. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments)
necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and
cash flows at March 31, 2002 and 2001 have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested these condensed
financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
notes thereto included in the Company's December 31, 2001 Form 10KSB. The
results of operations for the periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 are not
necessarily indicative of the operating results for the entire year.
NOTE 2. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 142, GOODWILL AND OTHER
INTANGIBLE ASSETS. This statement requires that goodwill and intangible assets
deemed to have an indefinite life not be amortized. Instead of amortizing
goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life, the statement
requires a test for impairment to be performed annually, or immediately if
conditions indicate that such an impairment could exist. We adopted the
provisions of SFAS No. 142 effective January 1, 2002, and as a result, will no
longer record goodwill amortization of approximately $132,000 per year. We are
currently in the process of completing the first step of the initial goodwill
impairment test required by SFAS No. 142 and will complete this assessment in
the second quarter of 2002.
The following table provides the comparable effects of the adoption of
SFAS No. 142 for the quarters ended March 31, 2002 and March 31, 2001.

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, ACCOUNTING FOR ASSET
RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS. SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting and
reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived
assets and the associated asset retirement costs. SFAS No. 143 applies to legal
obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from
the acquisition, construction, development, and/or the
21
normal operation of a long-lived asset, except for certain obligations of
lessees. SFAS No. 143 amends SFAS No. 19, FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING BY
OIL AND GAS PRODUCING COMPANIES. SFAS No. 143 is effective for the Company on
January 1, 2003. Management is currently assessing what impact, if any, SFAS No.
143 will have on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, ACCOUNTING FOR THE
IMPAIRMENT OR DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS. SFAS No. 144 addresses financial
accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and
supersedes SFAS No. 121, ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND
FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF. SFAS No. 144 was effective for the
Company on January 1, 2002. The Company does not expect SFAS No. 144 to have a
material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 3. INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year.
Diluted earnings per common share is similar to the computation of basic
earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased for the assumed
exercise of dilutive options using the treasury stock method. Stock options and
warrants of 295,350 for 2002 and 222,252 for 2001 were not used in the
calculation because their impact would have been anti-dilutive due to the net
loss incurred for those periods. The components of the earnings per share are as
follows:

NOTE 4. LINE OF CREDIT
At March 31, 2002, the Company has available a $2,750,000 bank
revolving note, secured by substantially all assets, that expires June 30, 2002.
Interest is computed on actual days elapsed, at an annual rate equal to the
prime rate as quoted by THE WALL STREET JOURNAL. At March 31, 2002 the interest
rate was 4.75%. The note is payable on demand. The terms of the note require the
Company to maintain certain financial ratios. The Company was in compliance with
all covenants as of March 31, 2002. The Company did not have any borrowings on
March 31, 2002.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF CLEARONE
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial
information gives effect to the acquisitions of Ivron Systems, Ltd. and
E.mergent by ClearOne and the December 2001 private placement of ClearOne common
stock. Effective October 3, 2001, ClearOne, through a wholly owned subsidiary,
acquired the shares of Ivron Systems for a combination of cash and stock. An
amendment to the share purchase agreement dated October 3, 2001 was finalized
April 8, 2002. Because the terms of the amendment had been negotiated as of
March 31, 2002, the effects of such amendment were included in ClearOne's
financial statements as of March 31, 2002. Effective December 11, 2001, ClearOne
issued 1,500,000 shares of common stock under a private placement that were
subsequently registered on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The only impact of this stock offering on the pro forma statements of operations
is the inclusion of 1,500,000 shares in the calculation of the weighted average
shares outstanding. On January 21, 2002, ClearOne entered into a definitive
agreement to acquire the stock of E.mergent for a combination of cash and stock.
The E.mergent acquisition was completed on May 31, 2002. Both the Ivron Systems
and E.mergent acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations
for the year ended June 30, 2001 and the nine months ended March 31, 2002 have
been prepared as if each transaction occurred on July 1, 2000. The pro forma
condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2002 has been prepared as if
the E.mergent acquisition occurred on March 31, 2002. Because the financial
results of Ivron Systems and the private placement are included in ClearOne's
historical financial statements as of March 31, 2002, no adjustments have been
made to the pro forma balance sheet related to these transactions. Please see
the notes to these pro forma combined condensed statements regarding certain
assumptions utilized in the preparation of these statements. ClearOne's fiscal
year ends on June 30 while the fiscal years of Ivron Systems and E.mergent
historically ended on December 31. Accordingly, ClearOne has combined its
historical results from continuing operations for the year ended June 30, 2001
with the unaudited financial results of Ivron Systems and E.mergent for the
twelve months ended June 30, 2001, comprising the last six months of operations
of Ivron Systems and E.mergent for the year ended December 31, 2000 and the
first six months of operations of Ivron Systems and E.mergent for the year ended
December 31, 2001. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of
operations presented for the nine months ended March 31, 2002 includes the
historical unaudited financial results from continuing operations of ClearOne
and E.mergent for the nine months ended March 31, 2002. The historical unaudited
financial results from continuing operations of Ivron Systems are included from
July 1, 2000 to October 2, 2001, with the results from October 3, 2001 to March
31, 2002 already consolidated in ClearOne's operating results.
Unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is
presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of
the financial position or results of operations that would have actually been
reported had the transactions occurred on the dates indicated above, nor is it
necessarily indicative of future financial position or results of operations.
These unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are based on
the respective historical financial statements of ClearOne, Ivron Systems and
E.mergent and do not incorporate, nor do they assume, any benefits from cost
savings or synergies of operations of the combined company. The unaudited pro
forma condensed combined financial information should be read together with
ClearOne's historical financial statements and those of Ivron Systems and
E.mergent, including the related notes, and "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of ClearOne, all of
which are included in filings that have been previously filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
The pro forma financial statements include adjustments, which are based
upon the final determination of the identifiable intangible assets acquired from
E.mergent and certain other management estimates, to reflect the allocation of
the purchase consideration to the acquired assets and liabilities of E.mergent.
Management does not expect that further adjustments to the purchase price
allocation, if any, will be material.

NOTE 1.
On October 3, 2001, ClearOne executed a share purchase agreement, as amended on
April 8, 2002, with the shareholders of Ivron Systems. ClearOne paid cash of

of $650,000 for all outstanding options to purchase common shares of Ivron
Systems, and incurred acquisition costs of $274,000 in the transaction.
Additional consideration may be issued to Ivron Systems' shareholders if certain
contingencies related to future earnings targets as defined in the share
purchase agreement are met. The following is a summary of the purchase price
allocation using the October 3, 2001 balance sheet of Ivron Systems (in 000's):

============
On January 21, 2002, ClearOne entered into a definitive agreement to
acquire E.mergent. This acquisition was completed on May 31, 2002. Under the
terms of the agreement, ClearOne acquired all of the issued and outstanding
stock of E.mergent; thereby acquiring title to all assets and assuming all
liabilities of E.mergent. As consideration in the transaction, ClearOne paid
cash of $7,300,000 and issued 873,000 shares of its common stock, less the
aggregate number of shares of common stock allocated to E.mergent's outstanding
stock options assumed by ClearOne in the merger because, in accordance with the
agreement and plan of merger, the 873,000 shares of ClearOne common stock were
allocated first to E.mergent stock options being assumed by ClearOne.
Outstanding E.mergent stock options were converted to options to purchase 4,158
shares of ClearOne's common stock at the ratio specified in the agreement and
plan of merger. The value of the stock consideration paid to E.mergent
shareholders used in determining the purchase price for accounting purposes was
based on ClearOne's average closing price two days prior to and two days
subsequent to January 21, 2002 (the announcement date for the acquisition) of
$16.55. Additionally, ClearOne incurred transaction costs of approximately
$1,071,000 in connection with the acquisition. This includes approximately
$418,000 for severance payments to terminating E.mergent executives and
approximately $51,000 of anticipated severance payments to other terminating
E.mergent employees, as well as approximately $602,000 related to professional
advisory, legal and accounting fees. E.mergent incurred transaction related
costs of approximately $926,000. These costs have been reflected as a reduction
of E.mergent's cash balance as of March 31, 2002. The following is a summary of
the purchase price allocation using the March 31, 2002 balance sheet of
E.mergent (in 000's):
Cash $ 579
Accounts receivable 3,144
Inventory 3,605
Fixed assets 443

options to purchase E.mergent common stock in conjunction with the
agreement and plan of merger. The weighted average fair value of the
ClearOne options is approximately $11.36, using the Black-Scholes method,
as determined using the following assumptions: volatility of 62%, weighted
average expected life of the options of approximately 2 years, dividend
yield of 0%, and risk-free interest rate of 4.38%.
(H) Elimination of E.mergent's historical equity.
(I) In accordance with the agreement and plan of merger, the treasury stock

prior to and two days subsequent to January 21, 2002 (the announcement date
for the acquisition).
(K) Elimination of sales and related cost of sales between ClearOne and
E.mergent.
(L) Represents the elimination of a shareholder note from a former E.mergent
executive that was repaid upon consummation of the merger.
29
(M) Adjustment to record deferred tax liabilities on the recorded value of
E.mergent's identifiable intangible assets.
