Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

          On February 5, 2004, Verilink Corporation (“Verilink”) acquired privately held XEL Communications, Inc., a provider of telecommunications business solutions. This amendment to Verilink’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 20, 2004, is filed to provide unaudited condensed pro forma financial information in connection with the acquisition.

Item 7. Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and Exhibits.

(b)      Pro Forma Financial Information.

          On February 5, 2004, Verilink purchased all of the outstanding shares of XEL Communications, Inc. (“XEL”) from The Kennedy Company, LLC for $7,650,000 in cash plus a convertible promissory note in the amount of $10,000,000.

          The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial information gives effect to the acquisition of XEL by Verilink under the purchase method of accounting. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated balance sheet combines Verilink’s unaudited consolidated balance sheet and XEL’s unaudited balance sheet at January 2, 2004 as if the acquisition had occurred on January 2, 2004.

          The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations combine the historical results of operations of Verilink and XEL for the twelve months ended June 27, 2003 and the six months ended January 2, 2004, giving effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred at June 29, 2002.

          The pro forma financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of the operating results of financial position that would have occurred had the acquisition been effected for the periods indicated nor is it indicative of the future operating results or financial position of the Verilink.

          The pro forma adjustments are based upon the preliminary information and assumptions available at the time of the filing of this Form 8-K/A. The pro forma information should be read in conjunction with the historical audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements of Verilink, including the notes thereto, and the audited historical financial statements of XEL, including the notes thereto.
