1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Packeteer, Inc., pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and include the accounts of Packeteer, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Packeteer” or collectively the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 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. While in the opinion of the Company’s management, the unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of interim periods presented, these financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with its audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 filed with the SEC on March 5, 2004.

     The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year ending December 31, 2004.

2. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

     The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure”, which amended SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, in December 2002. As permitted under SFAS 148, Packeteer has elected to continue to follow the intrinsic value method in accounting for its stock-based employee compensation arrangements. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and net income per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to stock-based employee compensation (in thousands, except per share data):

3. CONTINGENCIES

     In November 2001, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company, certain officers and directors of the Company, and the underwriters of the Company’s initial public offering. An amended complaint, captioned In re Packeteer, Inc. Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, 01-CV-10185 (SAS), was filed on April 20, 2002.

     The amended complaint alleges violations of the federal securities laws on behalf of a purported class of those who acquired the Company’s common stock between the date of the Company’s initial public offering, or IPO, and December 6, 2000. The amended complaint alleges that the description in the prospectus for the Company’s IPO was materially false and misleading in describing the compensation to be earned by the underwriters of the Company’s IPO, and in not describing certain alleged arrangements among

6

underwriters and initial purchasers of the Company’s common stock. The amended complaint seeks damages and certification of a plaintiff class consisting of all persons who acquired shares of the Company’s common stock between July 27, 1999 and December 6, 2000.

     In July 2002, the Company and the individual defendants joined in an omnibus motion to dismiss challenging the legal sufficiency of plaintiffs’ claims. The motion was filed on behalf of hundreds of issuer and individual defendants named in similar lawsuits. Plaintiffs opposed the motion, and the Court heard oral argument on the motion in early November 2002. On February 19, 2003, the Court issued an Opinion and Order denying the motion to dismiss as to the Company. In addition, in October 2002, the individual defendants were dismissed without prejudice.

     A special committee of the board of directors has authorized the Company to negotiate a settlement of the pending claims substantially consistent with a memorandum of understanding negotiated among class plaintiffs, all issuer defendants and their insurers. Any such settlement would be subject to approval by the Court. If the settlement is not approved, we intend to vigorously defend ourselves against plaintiffs’ allegations. We do not currently believe that the outcome of this proceeding will have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

     We are routinely involved in legal and administrative proceedings incidental to our normal business activities and believe that these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

4. GUARANTEES

     The Company’s standard warranty period is twelve months. We record a liability for estimated warranty obligations at the date products are sold. This warranty reserve approximates the aggregate amount of expected replacement and repair costs for our products. Our warranty reserve is based on historical product repair and replacement information. The following provides a reconciliation of the changes in Packeteer’s warranty reserve from December 31, 2003 to March 31, 2004 (in thousands):

     We occasionally provide guarantees that could require us to make future payments in the event that the third party primary obligor does not make its required payments. In March 2004, we entered into such an agreement guaranteeing the performance of our contract manufacturer in meeting their obligations on a specific purchase order that covers a 15-month supply of a particular component. Our maximum liability under this guarantee is $1.4 million. In accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” (FIN 45), we have not recorded a liability for this guarantee.

     Additionally, our distributor and reseller agreements generally include a provision for indemnifying such parties against certain liabilities if our products are claimed to infringe a third party’s intellectual property rights. To date we have not incurred any costs as a result of such indemnifications and have not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

5. INCOME TAXES

     Our income tax provision for the periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 is primarily attributable to income taxes payable in foreign jurisdictions. The effective tax rate for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, is approximately 10%.

6. NET INCOME PER SHARE

     Basic net income per share has been computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share has been computed using the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding during the period. At March 31, 2004 and 2003, there were 1,207,153 and 704,288 shares, respectively, issuable upon exercise of stock options excluded from the computation because the exercise price was greater than the average market price.

7

     The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

7. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

     The Company reports comprehensive income in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income.” SFAS 130 establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income and its components in financial statements. The difference between reported net income and comprehensive income is not considered material for the periods presented.

8. SEGMENT REPORTING

     The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” The Company’s chief operating decision maker is considered to be the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The CEO reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis substantially similar to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Therefore, the Company has concluded that it operates in one segment and accordingly has provided only the required enterprise-wide disclosures.

     The Company operates in the United States and internationally and derives its revenues from the sale of products and software licenses and maintenance contracts related to these products. For the three months ended March 31, 2004, sales to three customers, Westcon, Inc., Alternative Technology, Inc., and Macnica, Inc., accounted for 25%, 19% and 11% of total net revenues, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2003, sales to the same three customers accounted for 16%, 22% and 10% of total net revenues, respectively.

     Geographic information (in thousands):

     Net revenues reflect the destination of the shipped product. The Americas net revenue includes Latin America and South America, which have historically accounted for between 1% and 2% of total net revenues. These revenues were previously included in Europe and Rest of World (ROW).

     Long-lived assets are primarily located in North America. Assets located outside North America are not significant.

9. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

8

     In August 2003, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force 03-05 (EITF 03-05), “Applicability of AICPA Statement of Position 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, to Non-Software Deliverables in an Arrangement Containing More-Than-Incidental Software,” provides guidance on whether non-software deliverables (e.g., non-software related equipment or services) included in an arrangement that contains software that is more than incidental to the products or services as a whole are included within the scope of AICPA Statement of Position 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition. The guidance in EITF 03-05 is effective for arrangements entered into in the first reporting period (annual or interim) beginning after August 13, 2003. The adoption of EITF 03-05 did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

     In March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a consensus on the remaining portions of EITF 03-01, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments” with an effective date of June 15, 2004. EITF 03-01 provides new disclosure requirements for other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity investments. Investors are required to disclose quantitative information about: (i) the aggregate amount of unrealized losses, and (ii) the aggregate related fair values of investments with unrealized losses, segregated into time periods during which the investment has been in an unrealized loss position of less than 12 months and greater than 12 months. In addition, investors are required to disclose the qualitative information that supports their conclusion that the impairments noted in the qualitative disclosure are not other-than temporary. The Company adopted the initial portions of EITF 03-01 in December 2003. The adoption of the remaining portions is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW

     Packeteer is a leading provider of application traffic management systems designed to deliver a broad set of visibility, control, and compression capabilities to enterprise customers and service providers. For enterprise customers, the system is designed to enable IT organizations to effectively align application and network resources with the priorities of the business, while providing measurable cost savings in WAN infrastructure investments. For service providers, the Packeteer systems are designed to provide a platform for delivering application-intelligent network services that control quality of service, or QoS, expand revenue opportunities and offer compelling differentiation from other potential solutions.

     The Packeteer application traffic management system consists of a family of appliances with performance capabilities that make them capable of deployment within large data centers as well as smaller remote sites throughout a distributed enterprise. Each appliance can be configured to deliver the full range of application traffic management solutions, from visibility with PacketSeeker®, to control with PacketShaper®, to compression with PacketShaper Xpress™. In addition, each appliance can be managed individually or in context of a completely integrated policy-based application traffic management system distributed across multiple locations, using our ReportCenter™ or PolicyCenter™ software products.

     Packeteer’s products are deployed at more than 5,000 enterprises and service providers worldwide, and are sold through an established network of more than 100 resellers, distributors and system-integrators in more than 50 countries, complemented by our direct sales force. Our sales force and marketing efforts are used to develop brand awareness, drive demand for system solutions and support our indirect channels.

     We have a limited positive operating history. As of March 31, 2004, we had an accumulated deficit of $89.1 million. Although we earned net income of $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004, and $11.0 million and $3.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, we incurred losses since we commenced operations in 1996 until 2002, and profitability could be difficult to sustain. We expect to continue to incur significant sales and marketing, product development and administrative expenses and, as a result, will need to generate significant quarterly revenues to maintain profitability. With the increase in our installed base, we plan to continue to invest in our customer support group. We plan to continue to invest in the development and support of our reseller and distributor relationships. We also plan to continue to invest in appropriate marketing campaigns and expand our international sales operations. We plan to continue to invest in research and development activities to enhance existing products and develop new features in response to customer demands. We will also add to our infrastructure to support our growing business.

     We believe that our current value proposition, which enables our enterprise customers to get more value out of existing network resources and improved performance of their critical applications, should allow us to continue to grow our business during the remainder of 2004. Our growth rate and net revenues depend significantly on continued growth in the application traffic management

market, our ability to develop and maintain strong partnering relationships with our indirect channel partners and our ability to expand or enhance our current product offerings or respond to technological change. Our growth in service revenues is dependent upon increasing the number of units under maintenance, which is dependent on both growing our installed base and renewing existing maintenance contracts. Our future profitability and rate of growth, if any, will be directly affected by the continued acceptance of our product in the marketplace, as well as the timing and size of orders and shipments, product mix, average selling price of our products and general economic conditions. Our failure to successfully convince the market of our value proposition and maintain strong relationships with our indirect channel partners to ensure the success of their selling efforts on our behalf, would adversely impact our net revenues and operating results.

SOURCES OF REVENUE

     We derive our revenue from two sources, product revenues and service revenues. Product revenues consist primarily of sales of our application traffic management systems. Service revenues consist primarily of maintenance revenues and, to a lesser extent, training revenues. Product revenues accounted for 82% and 84% of our net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Service revenues continue to increase as our installed base grows, accounting for 18% and 16% of net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Maintenance revenues are recognized on a monthly basis, over the life of the contract. The typical subscription and support term is twelve months, although multi-year contracts are sold.

COST OF REVENUES AND OPERATING EXPENSES

     Cost of Revenues. Our cost of revenues consists of the cost of finished products purchased from our contract manufacturer, overhead costs and service support costs.

     For finished product, we outsource all of our manufacturing to one contract manufacturer, SMTC Manufacturing Corporation, or SMTC. We design and develop a majority of the key components of our products, including printed circuit boards and software. In addition, we determine the components that are incorporated into our products and select the appropriate suppliers of these components. Our overhead costs consist primarily of personnel related costs for our product operations and order fulfillment groups and other product costs such as warranty and fulfillment charges. Service support costs consist primarily of personnel related costs for our customer support and training groups, as well as fees paid to third-party service providers to facilitate next business day replacement for end user customers located outside the United States. Additionally, we allocate overhead such as facilities, depreciation and IT costs to all departments based on headcount and usage. As such, general overhead costs are reflected in each cost of revenue and operating expense category.

     We must continue to work closely with our contract manufacturer as we develop and introduce new products and try to reduce production costs for existing products. To the extent our customer base continues to grow, we intend to continue to invest additional resources in our customer support group and expect that our fees to third-party service providers will continue to increase as our international installed base grows.

     Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related personnel expenses, allocated overhead, consultant fees and prototype expenses related to the design, development, testing and enhancement of our products and software. We have historically focused our research and development efforts on developing and enhancing our application traffic management solutions. We expect that in the future, our research and development spending will increase in absolute dollars as we continue to develop and maintain competitive products and enhance our current products by adding innovative features that differentiate our products from those of our competitors. We believe that continued investment in research and development is critical to attaining our strategic product and cost control objectives. We expect somewhat higher absolute spending levels in the upcoming quarters to bring us more in line with our current long-term business model target of 18% of net revenues by the end of 2004.

     Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions and related personnel expenses for those engaged in the sales, marketing and support of the product, as well as related trade show, promotional and public relations expenses and allocated overhead. Although continuing to decrease as a percentage of net revenues, sales and marketing is our largest cost, accounting for 38% and 39% of net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. We plan to increase sales and marketing headcount in the remainder of 2004, as we continue to expand our global presence. We intend to continue to invest in appropriate sales and marketing campaigns and, although we anticipate second quarter sales and marketing expenses to be down slightly from the first quarter, we expect expenses in absolute dollars to increase in the second half of 2004.

10

Particularly, we have introduced new channel marketing programs, replacing previous channel rebate programs, and will see the impact of these changes in operating expenses for the remainder of 2004. We expect that sales and marketing expenses will continue to exceed our revised long-term business model target of 30% to 32% of net revenues for at least the next twelve to eighteen months.

     General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related personnel expenses for administrative personnel, professional fees, allocated overhead and other general corporate expenses. We expect general and administrative expenses to continue to be in line with our long-term targets of 6% to 7% of net revenues.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to inventory valuation, valuation allowances including sales return reserves and allowance for doubtful accounts, and other liabilities, specifically warranty reserves. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

     We believe that of our significant accounting policies, which are described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, the following accounting policies involve a greater degree of judgment and complexity. Accordingly, we believe the accounting policies below are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

     Revenue recognition. The Company applies the provisions of Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” as amended by SOP 98-9, “Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions,” to all transactions involving the sale of hardware and software products. Revenue is generally recognized when all of the following criteria are met as set forth in paragraph 8 of SOP 97-2:

	•		persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
	•		delivery has occurred,
	•		the fee is fixed or determinable, and
	•		collectibility is reasonably assured.

     Receipt of a customer purchase order is persuasive evidence of an arrangement. Sales through our distribution channel are evidenced by an agreement governing the relationship together with purchase orders on a transaction-by-transaction basis.

     Delivery generally occurs when product is delivered to a common carrier from Packeteer or its designated fulfillment house. For maintenance contracts, delivery is deemed to occur ratably over the contract period.

     The Company’s fees are typically considered to be fixed or determinable at the inception of the arrangement and are negotiated at the outset of an arrangement, generally based on specific products and quantities to be delivered. In the event payment terms are provided that differ significantly from our standard business practices, the fees are deemed to not be fixed or determinable and revenue is recognized as the fees become due and payable.

     We assess collectibility based on a number of factors, including credit worthiness of the customer and past transaction history with the customer.

     Our standard revenue recognition policy includes modifications under certain circumstances as follows: Product revenue on sales to major new distributors is recorded based on sell-through to the end user customers until such time as the Company has established significant experience with the distributor’s product exchange activity. Additionally, when the Company introduces a new product into its distribution channel for which there is no historical customer demand or acceptance history, revenue is recognized on the basis of sell-through to end user customers until such time as demand or acceptance history has been established.

     The Company has analyzed all of the elements included in its multiple element arrangements and has determined that it has sufficient vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value to allocate revenue to the maintenance component of its product

11

and to training. VSOE is based upon separate sales of maintenance renewals and training to customers. Accordingly, assuming other revenue recognition criteria are met, revenue from product sales is recognized upon delivery using the residual method in accordance with SOP 98-9. Revenue from maintenance is recognized ratably over the maintenance term and revenue from training is recognized when the training has taken place. To date, training revenues have not been material.

     Inventory valuation. Inventories consist primarily of finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out basis) or market. We currently contract with SMTC for the manufacture of all of our products. We record inventory reserves for excess and obsolete inventories based on historical usage and forecasted demand. Factors which could cause our forecasted demand to prove inaccurate include our reliance on indirect sales channels and the variability of our sales cycle; the potential of announcements of our new products or enhancements to replace or shorten the life cycle of our current products, or cause customers to defer their purchases; loss of sales due to product shortages; and the potential of new or alternative technologies achieving widespread market acceptance and thereby rendering our existing products obsolete. If future demand or market conditions are less favorable than our projections, additional inventory write-downs may be required and would be reflected in cost of sales in the period the revision is made.

     Sales return reserve and allowance for doubtful accounts. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 48, “Revenue Recognition When Right of Return Exists”, management must use judgment and make estimates of potential future product returns related to current period product revenue. When providing for sales return reserves, we analyze historical return rates as they are the primary indicator for estimating future returns. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of our revenue if for any period actual returns differ from our judgments or estimates. The sales return reserve balances at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 were $891,000 and $713,000, respectively. We must also make estimates of the uncollectibility of accounts receivable. When evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts, we review the aged receivables on an account-by-account basis, taking into consideration such factors as the age of the receivables, customer history and estimated continued credit-worthiness, as well as general economic and industry trends. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances could be required. The allowance for doubtful accounts at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 was $158,000 and $149,000, respectively.

     Rebate Reserves. Certain distributors and resellers can earn rebates under several Packeteer programs. The rebates earned are recorded as a reduction to revenues in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 01-9, “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendors Products). For established programs, the Company’s estimates for rebates are based on historical usage rates. For new programs, rebate reserves are calculated to cover the Company’s maximum exposure until such time as historical usage rates are developed. When sufficient historical experience is established, there may be a reversal of previously accrued rebates if rebate claims are less than the maximum exposure. Rebate reserves at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 were $1.5 million and $877,000, respectively.

     Warranty reserves. Upon shipment of products to our customers, we provide for the estimated cost to repair or replace products that may be returned under warranty. Our warranty period is typically 12 months from the date of shipment to the end user customer. For existing products, the reserve is estimated based on actual historical experience. For new products, the warranty reserve is based on historical experience of similar products until such time as sufficient historical data has been collected on the new product. Factors that may impact our warranty costs in the future include our reliance on our contract manufacturer to provide quality products and the fact that our products are complex and may contain undetected defects, errors or failures in either the hardware or the software. To date, these problems have not materially adversely affected us. Warranty reserves at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 were $272,000 and $303,000, respectively.

     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The following table sets forth certain financial data as a percentage of total net revenues for the periods indicated. These historical operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results for any future period.

12

     OVERVIEW OF RESULTS

     Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2004 were $21.5 million, an increase of 28% over the same period in 2003. Gross profit was $16.6 million, or 77%, and operating income was $3.5 million. During the comparable period a year ago, net revenues were $16.8 million, gross profit was $12.9 million, or 77%, and operating income was $2.2 million.

     The increase in revenues was due to both an increase in the number of units shipped and the number of units under maintenance contracts. We believe a number of forces contributed to our revenue growth, including strength in our Europe, Middle East and Africa, or EMEA, region and our Asia Pacific region, and a growing number of larger transactions. During the first quarter of 2004, we continued to invest in our operations, with operating expenses of $13.1 million increasing $2.4 million, or 23%, from $10.7 million reported in the comparable period of 2003. In particular, this quarter we added personnel in sales and marketing and operations. Compared to March 31 a year ago, headcount has increased 34, or 17%, primarily in operations, sales and marketing and research and development.

     During the first quarter of 2004, we generated $4.6 million of cash from operating activities, compared to $2.4 million in the comparable period a year ago. At March 31, 2004, we had cash, cash equivalents and investments of $92.4 million, accounts receivable of $11.6 million and deferred revenues of $10.7 million.

     NET REVENUES

     Total net revenues of $21.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2004 increased $4.7 million, or 28%, from $16.8 million in the same period last year. Product revenues of $17.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 increased $3.6 million, or 25%, from $14.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2004, the increase in product revenues is primarily the result of an increase in the number of units shipped. There were no significant selling price changes during any of the periods presented.

     Service revenues of $3.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2004, increased $1.2 million, or 45%, from $2.6 million in the same period last year. The increase is mainly due to an increase in the number of units under maintenance contracts.

     For the three months ended March 31, 2004, net revenues in the Americas of $7.4 million decreased $613,000, from $8.1 million in the same period last year, and accounted for 35% of total net revenues, compared to 48% for the same period last year. This decline was primarily due to a lengthening of the sales cycle due to larger deal sizes, which resulted in a delay in the timing of orders. Net revenues in Asia Pacific of $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 accounted for 29% of total net revenues compared to $4.8 million, or 28%, of total net revenues for the same period last year. Net revenues in EMEA of $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004, accounted for 36% of total net revenues, compared to $3.9
