Deregistration of Shares
- ------------------------
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on
Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-55703) (the "Registration Statement") is filed
by HIE, Inc. (the "Company") to deregister 1,851,605 shares of the 3,341,571
shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, which were
previously registered pursuant to this Registration Statement for resale by
certain selling shareholders. The Company is seeking to deregister these shares

deregistration, the total number of shares of Common Stock registered pursuant
to this Registration Statement is 1,489,966 shares.
