Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release contains non-GAAP financial measures (non-GAAP net income or loss) that exclude the effects of share-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets and impairment of investments. Reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are detailed in the Reconciliation of GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Measures attached to this press release. We believe that presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations.

The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with Hifn's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP.

We believe that excluding share-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets and impairment of investments provides supplemental information and an alternative presentation useful to investors' understanding of the company's core operating results and trends, especially when comparing those results on a consistent basis to results for previous periods and anticipated results for future periods.

Investors have indicated that they consider financial measures of our results of operations excluding share-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets and impairment of investments as important supplemental information useful to their understanding of our historical results and estimating of our future results.

Management uses non-GAAP financial measures internally for evaluating current financial performance, strategic decision making and forecasting. Given the importance of non-GAAP measures to management, Hifn believes these non-GAAP measures will help analysts and investors better understand management's assessment of the company's operational financial performance as compared to prior periods.

This press release contains forward-looking statements, such as statements about Hifn's future financial performance, increasing acceptance of our storage segment solutions, continued strength in order patterns, momentum in design activity and design wins, our expanded sales force and execution of our product and technology roadmap leading to growth and profitability, our ability to generate cash from our core business and Hifn's intention to repurchase shares of its common stock under the stock repurchase program. Readers are cautioned that Hifn's forward-looking statements are only predictions and may differ materially from actual future events or results due to a variety of factors, such as: changes in customer demand and customer ordering patterns; stimulation of revenue growth through expansion of our sales force and portfolio of solutions; our ability to execute our product and technology roadmap, continuous control over expenses as compared to prior periods; and unexpected economic slowdown in the technology sector. Additional risks are detailed from time to time in Hifn's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Hifn expressly disclaims any obligation to update or revise its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The financial information contained in this release should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Hifn's most recent reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q. Hifn's results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of Hifn's operating results for any future periods. Any projections in this release are based on limited information currently available to Hifn and speak only as of the date of this release.
