1 EXHIBIT 99.3 The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements reflect the acquisition by the Registrant of IMC in exchange for shares of the Registrant's Common Stock and options to purchase shares of the Registrant's Common Stock. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The pro forma condensed combined balance sheet assumes the merger took place on January 24, 1997 and combines the January 24, 1997 balance sheet of the Registrant with the January 31, 1997 balance sheet of IMC. The pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1996 assumes the acquisition took place as of the beginning of the fiscal year and combines the Registrant's historical results for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1996 (for which period IMC was not in operation) with pro forma adjustments. The pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended January 24, 1997 assumes the acquisition took place as of the beginning of the most recently completed fiscal year and combines the Registrant's historical results for the nine months ended January 24, 1997 with the historical results of IMC for the period from inception (May 6, 1996) to January 31, 1997. The pro forma condensed combined statements of operations exclude the effect of any nonrecurring charges directly attributable to the acquisition. The pro forma information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial position that would have occurred had the acquisition of IMC by the Registrant been consummated at the beginning of the periods presented, nor is it necessarily indicative of future operating results or financial position. These pro forma financial statements are based on and should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto of the Registrant and IMC. 1 2 NETWORK APPLIANCE, INC.

On March 17, 1997 the Registrant acquired IMC in exchange for approximately 187,023 shares of the Registrant's Common Stock and options to purchase shares of the Registrant's Common Stock. In connection with the acquisition certain former employees of IMC who entered into employment agreements with the Registrant were granted options to purchase shares of the Registrant's Common Stock at a discount to the market price of the Registrant's Common Stock immediately preceding the acquisition. IMC was founded in 1996 to develop and commercialize Internet/Intranet proxy caching software. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. In connection with the acquisition, intangible assets of $8.4 million were acquired by the Registrant of which $7.4 million was allocated to in-process research and development and will be charged to operations in the fiscal quarter ending April 30, 1997 as the technology had not achieved technological feasibility and had no alternative future use. The remaining $1.0 million of intangible assets will be amortized over an estimated useful life of five years. Also in connection with the acquisition, a compensation expense of $3.2 million, relating to the granting of discounted stock options, will be charged to operations in the fiscal quarter ending April 30, 1997. The pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1996 and for the nine months ended January 24, 1997 exclude the impact of the nonrecurring charge associated with expensing in-process research and development and the one-time compensation charge, net of deferred taxes, related to the granting of options to certain former IMC employees to purchase shares of the Registrant's Common Stock at a discount to the market price of the Registrant's Common Stock immediately preceding the acquisition. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements give effect to the merger of the Registrant and IMC on a purchase accounting basis. The pro forma condensed combined balance sheet assumes the merger took place on January 24, 1997 and combines the January 24, 1997 balance sheet of the Registrant with the January 31, 1997 balance sheet of IMC. The pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1996 assumes the merger took place as of the beginning of the fiscal year and combines the Registrant's historical results for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1996 (for which period IMC was not in operation) with pro forma adjustments. The pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended January 24, 1997 assumes the merger took place as of the beginning of the most recently completed fiscal year and combines the Registrant's historical results for the nine months ended January 24, 1997 with the historical results of IMC for the period from inception (May 6, 1996) to January 31, 1997. 2. The pro forma condensed combined financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Registrant, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Registrant believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information not misleading. These pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Registrant's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1996 and the financial statements of IMC included in this filing. 3. Net income per share for each period is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period plus approximately 172,375 shares of the Registrant's Common Stock which was exchanged for all issued and outstanding shares of IMC Common Stock. Common equivalent shares consist of stock options (using the treasury stock method). 5
