NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

TippingPoint Technologies, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Texas in January 1999 and was reincorporated in the State of Delaware on March 15, 2000. We design, manufacture and market network-based intrusion prevention systems and appliances that deliver in-depth protection and attack eradication for corporate enterprises, government agencies, service providers and academic institutions.

We were formerly named Netpliance, Inc. while we developed and operated a consumer Internet appliance and service business. In January 2001, we decided to exit the consumer Internet appliance and service business due to, among other things, our continued losses and inability to raise additional capital to fund that business. The accompanying financial statements present our consumer Internet appliance and service business as a discontinued operation for all historical periods. See Note 10, Discontinued Operations.

As a result of the early stage of our network security business, we expect to report operating losses through at least the end of our fiscal year ending January 31, 2004. We cannot assure you that we will ever achieve positive cash flow from our operations and we face numerous risks associated with this business.

We have funded our activities primarily through private equity offerings, which included sales of our common stock and preferred stock, the initial public offering of our common stock on March 17, 2000 and most recently, a private placement of our common stock to certain investors on October 2, 2002. In fiscal 2003, we also established and made borrowings under our term loan facility with a commercial bank, with whom we also established a revolving loan facility that was unused through April 30, 2003. In the future, we expect to seek additional funding through private or public equity offerings, additional credit facilities or other financing arrangements, at least until such time as we achieve positive cash flow from operations. However, we cannot assure you that such financing will be available or that we will ever achieve positive operating cash flows.

In the opinion of our management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments and accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of such information. We derived the balance sheet as of January 31, 2003 from our audited financial statements as of that date. While we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information not misleading, we suggest that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2003. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results we expect in future periods.

Our inventory is stated at the lower of actual cost (first-in, first-out method) or market value (estimated net realizable value). The valuation of inventory at the lower of actual cost or market value requires us to use estimates regarding the amount of current inventory that will be sold and the prices at which it will be sold. These estimates are dependent on our assessment of expected orders from our

customers. As of April 30, 2003 and January 31, 2003, our inventory consisted of component parts of approximately $615,000 and $839,000, respectively, and finished goods of approximately $670,000 and $300,000, respectively.

On July 30, 2002, we entered into a loan and security agreement with a commercial bank, which consists of a term loan facility and a revolving loan facility, and is collateralized by a first priority lien on substantially all of our tangible and intangible assets. Under the term loan facility, we can borrow up to $2.5 million for purchases of equipment and software approved by the bank. Under the revolving loan facility, we can borrow up to $5 million for working capital purposes, subject to availability under a borrowing base. As of April 30, 2003, we had borrowings outstanding of approximately $1 million under the term loan facility, and had not borrowed any amount under the revolving loan facility.

All amounts borrowed under the term loan facility amortize over periods ending no later than January 30, 2006. The revolving credit facility terminates and all amounts borrowed thereunder and not previously repaid are due and payable in full (including any accrued interest) on July 30, 2004. Advances under both facilities accrue interest at a rate equal to the bank’s prime rate plus 0.75% per annum.

The loan agreement contains customary covenants and restrictions on additional indebtedness, liens, disposition of assets, investments and dividends.

Basic and diluted net loss per share are presented in conformity with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” In accordance with SFAS No. 128, we compute basic loss per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is equivalent to basic loss per share because outstanding stock options and warrants are anti-dilutive. Our common stock equivalents consist of common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants, and the lapsing of restrictions on shares of restricted stock.

We apply the intrinsic value-based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations, in accounting for our fixed plan stock options. As such, we record compensation expense on the date of grant only if the current fair value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price. We have adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosures” as well as those outlined in SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. SFAS 123, as amended by SFAS 148, requires that companies that do not choose to account for stock-based compensation as prescribed by SFAS 123 must disclose the pro forma effects on earnings and earnings per share as if SFAS 123 had been adopted.

Had compensation cost for all stock option grants been determined based on their fair market value at the grant dates consistent with the method prescribed by SFAS 148 and SFAS 123, our net loss and loss per share would have been increased to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

The per share weighted-average fair value of stock options and shares of restricted common stock granted during the quarters ended April 30, 2003 and 2002 was $3.76 and $4.16, respectively, on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of options was estimated using a risk-free interest rate of 2.9% and 4.5% for 2003 and 2002, respectively, a dividend yield of zero and volatility of 50% for all periods presented and a weighted average expected life of four years.

We have reserved for issuance a total of 28,127 shares of restricted common stock under our stock incentive plan as a result of the exchange of those shares of restricted common stock for certain of our outstanding stock options. The shares of restricted common stock vest over various increments, with unvested shares being subject to forfeiture under certain circumstances. Upon certain change of control events, to the extent shares of restricted common stock are not then fully vested, one-third of such shares will immediately vest.

Between January 31, 2003 and April 30, 2003, we granted to employees options to purchase an aggregate of 105,300 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $7.68 to $10.57 per share, which will vest over a period of four years. As of April 30, 2003, we have outstanding options with the right to purchase 844,714 shares of common stock. In addition, we have 28,127 shares of restricted stock reserved for issuance, which are subject to forfeiture under certain circumstances.

We have recorded approximately $124,000 and $203,000 of employee stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended April 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, primarily as a result of granting stock options in 1999 and 2000 with exercise prices below the deemed fair market value of our

common stock for financial reporting purposes at the date of grant, granting shares of restricted stock during 2001, and granting vested options to members of our technical advisory group during 2002. We will amortize the remaining deferred compensation of approximately $512,000 as of April 30, 2003 over the applicable vesting period of outstanding options and restricted stock.

We lease our office space and certain equipment under non-cancelable operating leases expiring in various years through 2007. Our minimum lease commitments under non-cancelable leases at April 30, 2003 are approximately $3.9 million. Terms of our facility lease call for letters of credit totaling approximately $1.2 million. We have pledged certificates of deposit (included in other noncurrent assets at April 30, 2003) as collateral.

On July 11, 2001, a purported class action lawsuit was filed against us in Texas state court in Travis County, Texas on behalf of all persons who purchased an Internet appliance from us and subscribed to the related Internet service. The complaint alleges that, among other things, we disseminated false and misleading advertisements, engaged in unauthorized billing practices and failed to provide adequate technical and customer support and service with respect to our Internet appliance and service business. The complaint seeks an unspecified amount of damages. We believe that the action is without merit, that the action is not proper for class action treatment and that we have meritorious defenses available. We intend to defend this action vigorously.

On December 5, 2001, we and two of our current and former officers and directors, as well as the managing underwriters in our initial public offering were named as defendants in a
