Cautionary Statements

iPass' projections of its first quarter 2006 financial results under the caption 'Company Outlook' in this press release, as well as statements regarding the benefits to iPass of its strategic partnership with Symantec, are forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from the expectations contained in these statements due to a number of risks and uncertainties, including: the rate of decline in use of narrowband/dial technology as a means of enterprise connectivity may be faster than iPass predicts; the risk that iPass will not be able to generate broadband revenues in the manner expected; volatility in the telecommunications and technology industries, which may make it difficult for iPass to expand its services; rapidly emerging changes in the nature of markets served by iPass, which may not be compatible with iPass' services; historically iPass has not always enforced its minimum commitments under its contracts, increased competition, which may cause pricing pressure on the fees iPass charges; iPass could unexpectedly lose current integrated broadband access points if one or more current broadband access point providers perceive iPass' services to be competing with the provider's services in a manner that renders the relationship with iPass detrimental to the provider; and iPass may not be able to establish additional relationships with broadband access point providers at the level iPass expects if it is unable to negotiate such relationships on terms acceptable to both iPass and the providers on the timeframe iPass currently expects for any number of reasons, including perceived competition with the providers. Detailed information about potential factors that could affect iPass' business, financial condition and results of operations is included in iPass' Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under the caption 'Factors Affecting Operating Results' in 'Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations,' filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the 'SEC') on November 9, 2005 and available at the SEC's Web site at www.sec.gov. iPass undertakes no responsibility to update the information in this press release if any forward-looking statement later turns out to be inaccurate.

Information Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
iPass provides non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP 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 non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share exclude the effect of amortization of stock-based compensation and the amortization of intangibles. Management excludes the effect of amortization of stock-based compensation and amortization of intangibles as management does not believe that these charges are directly applicable to the core operating performance of iPass. As a result, management excludes the effect of these charges for budgeting purposes, as well as for analyzing the underlying performance of iPass. 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.

The reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures set forth at the beginning of this press release for the fourth quarter and full year of 2005 is set forth in the financial statements at the end of this press release. The reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures set forth at the beginning of this press release for the third quarter of 2005 is as follows: A reconciliation between net income on a GAAP basis and non-GAAP net income is as follows:
