HIFN, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

        The condensed consolidated financial statements of hi/fn, inc. (“Hifn” or the “Company”) include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Hifn Limited, Hifn Netherlands B.V. and Hifn International, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Saian Microsystems, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

        The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for period ending September 30, 2004. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which the Company believes is necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of December 31, 2004 and its results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. These condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

        The Company anticipates that its existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments will fund any anticipated operating losses, purchases of capital equipment and provide adequate working capital for the next twelve months. The Company’s liquidity is affected by many factors including, among others, the extent to which the Company pursues additional capital expenditures, the level of the Company’s product development efforts, and other factors related to the uncertainties of the industry and global economies. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that events in the future will not require the Company to seek additional capital sooner or, if so required, that such capital will be available on terms acceptable to the Company.

        On February 6, 2004, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain investors for the private placement of 2.2 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a price of $15.00 per share for aggregate proceeds of $30.9 million, net of expenses of approximately $2.1 million. The shares were issued and paid for on February 6, 2004. The Company intends to apply the net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes, as well as for strategic purposes in connection with selected acquisitions that may be considered in the future to expand its product and service offerings. On April 9, 2004, the Registration Statement related to the private placement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Note 2 — Stock Options

        The Company uses the intrinsic value method of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” in accounting for its employee stock options, and presents disclosure of pro forma information required under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” as amended by FASB Statement No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.”

        Had compensation expense for the Company’s stock-based compensation plans been determined based on the fair value method, the Company’s net loss and net loss per share would have been as follows:

        The fair value of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions used for grants during the respective periods:

Note 3 — Net Loss Per Share

        Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without consideration for the dilutive impact of potential common shares that were outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding for the period. Common equivalent shares consist of incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, using the treasury method, and are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share if anti-dilutive. Outstanding options to purchase shares of common stock and their weighted shares equivalents excluded from the computation of diluted earnings because of their anti-dilutive impact were as follows:
