     Ixia (the “Company”) was incorporated on May 27, 1997 as a California corporation. The Company develops, markets and sells high performance IP network testing solutions. These solutions are highly scalable and generate, capture, characterize, and emulate network and application traffic, establishing definitive performance and conformance metrics of network devices or systems under test. The Company’s testing solutions are used by network and telephony equipment manufacturers, semiconductor manufacturers, service providers, and large enterprises to validate the functionality and reliability of complex IP networks, devices, and applications. The Company’s IxVoice products address the growing need for IP telephony test solutions for developing Voice over IP networks. The Company’s Real World Traffic Suite addresses the growing need to test applications and networks prior to deployment under realistic load conditions. The Company’s analysis solutions utilize a wide range of industry-standard interfaces, including Ethernet, SONET and ATM.

2. Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2004 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, are unaudited and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, operating results and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the current interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2004 or any other future period.

     These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

3. Inventories

     Inventories consist of the following (in thousands):

                 
    June 30,   December 31,
    2004
  2003

4. Stock-Based Compensation

     The Company accounts for its stock option plans in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and the related interpretations of FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 44, “Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock

     Compensation.” Accordingly, compensation expense related to employee stock options is recorded only if, on the date of the grant, the fair value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price. The Company accounts for stock based awards issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees.”

     As prescribed by SFAS 123, the Company calculated the fair value of each option grant on the respective dates of grant. The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:

                                 
    Three Months Ended   Six Months Ended
    June 30,
  June 30,
    2004

    June 30,
  June 30,

7. Acquisition of G3 Nova

communication networks and network devices. This acquisition opens new growth opportunities for the Company by allowing the Company to offer a broader portfolio of products to customers, as well as gain access to new customer segments. The results of G3 Nova’s operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date.

     The purchase price of $9.4 million included $5.5 million in cash, of which $550,000 will be payable six months after the closing date to cover any undisclosed contingencies, 307,020 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $3.8 million and legal and other acquisition costs of $150,000. In addition, a contingent payment of up to $2.5 million may be paid based upon sales of G3 Nova products from July 2004 until June 2005. Future contingent payments under the earn-out will be reflected as additional goodwill when or if payments become due. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition (in thousands):

         
Current assets
  $ 355  
Property and equipment
    131  
Intangible assets
    3,700  
Goodwill
    7,229  
 
   
 
 
Total assets acquired
    11,415  
Current liabilities assumed
    (2,001 )
 
   
 
 
Net assets acquired
  $ 9,414  
 
   
 
 

     Of the $3.7 million of acquired intangible assets, $2.5 million was assigned to acquired technology, $1.0 million was assigned to customer contracts, relationships and backlog and $200,000 was assigned to a covenant not to compete. These intangible assets will be amortized using a straight-line method over their expected useful lives ranging from three to four and one half years. No goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

2003. All new disclosures related to cost method investments are effective for the annual reporting period ending after June 15, 2004. The Company anticipates that the adoption of EITF No. 03-1 will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

     In February 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FIN 46(R)-1 “Reporting Variable Interests in Specified Assets of Variable Interest Entities under Paragraph 13 of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003) (“FIN 46(R)”), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” to replace FIN 46-2 as a result of the release of FIN 46R in December 2003. The FSP states that a specified asset of a variable interest entity and the liability secured by the asset should not be deemed a separate variable interest entity. The effective date for the FSP follows the effective date and transition guidance specified in FIN 46R. The Company anticipates that the adoption of FIN 46(R)-1 will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
