Item 12. Results of Operations and Financial Condition

     On February 5, 2004, iPass Inc. reported its results of operations for its fiscal fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2003. A copy of the press release issued by iPass concerning the foregoing results is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

     The information in this report shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section or Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

     iPass provides pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share data as additional information for its operating results. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP and may be different from pro forma measures used by other companies. iPass believes that this presentation of pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share, excluding the effect of amortization of stock-based compensation, provides additional useful information to management and investors. Specifically, amortization of stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense, and management currently expects that once the company’s deferred stock-based compensation reflected on its balance sheet is fully amortized iPass will not, absent changes in financial reporting requirements, report additional stock-based compensation expense. Consequently, management excludes the effect of amortization of stock-based compensation for budgeting purposes, as well as analyzing the underlying performance of the company. Management believes that although GAAP measures are important for investors to understand, providing investors with these non-GAAP measures provides investors additional important information to enable them to assess, in the way that management assesses, both the current and future operations of iPass.
