         This report amends the Registrant's report on Form 8-K, initially
filed on March 28, 1997, to provide financial statements of Internet Middleware
Corporation ("IMC") and to provide pro forma condensed combined financial
information not previously available.

ITEM 7.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND EXHIBITS

         (a) Financial Statements of Businesses Acquired

                 Pursuant to paragraph (a)(4) of Item 7 of Form 8-K, the
         following financial statements were omitted from disclosure contained
         in the Registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 28, 1997
         but are filed herewith:

                 Audited balance sheet of IMC as of December 31, 1996, the
         related audited statements of operations, shareholders' deficiency and
         cash flows for the period from inception (May 6, 1996) to December 31,
         1996 and a signed report of Deloitte & Touche LLP with respect to 
         such financial statements, which are attached as Exhibit 99.2 hereto.

         (b) Pro Forma Financial Information

                 Pursuant to paragraph (b)(2) of Item 7, the unaudited pro forma
         condensed combined balance sheet of the Registrant and IMC as of
         January 24, 1997 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined
         statements of operations for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1996 and
         for the nine months ended January 24, 1997 are attached as Exhibit 99.3
         hereto.  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.   

                 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
   of Internet Middleware Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Internet Middleware
Corporation as of December 31, 1996 and the related statements of operations,
shareholders' deficiency and cash flows for the period from May 6, 1996
(inception) to December 31, 1996. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Internet Middleware Corporation at December
31, 1996, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
above-stated period then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

INTERNET MIDDLEWARE CORPORATION


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PERIOD FROM MAY 6, 1996 (INCEPTION) TO DECEMBER 31, 1996
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1.    ORGANIZATION  AND  SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING  POLICIES

      Organization and Description of Business - Internet Middleware Corporation
      (the Company) was incorporated as a California corporation on May 6, 1996
      under the name Netspeed. During 1996, the Company changed its name to
      Internet Middleware Corporation. The Company designs, markets and
      distributes software for Internet applications which increases the
      effectiveness of connection bandwidths. The Company's product is primarily
      sold to the Internet service providers and companies which have
      connections to the Internet or internal intranets, and its business is
      dependent on the growth of the Internet.

      FINANCIAL STATEMENT ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in
      conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
      management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
      amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
      liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
      amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such
      estimates include the estimated useful life of fixed assets and certain
      accrued liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

      The Company participates in a dynamic high technology industry and
      believes that changes in any of the following areas, among others, could
      have a material adverse affect on the Company's future financial position
      or results of operations: market demand for products under development by
      the Company, increased competition, the development of new technologies
      and the ability to attract and retain employees necessary to support its
      growth.

      CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK - The Company primarily sells its product to
      Internet service providers and other companies in the United States,
      Europe and Asia. The Company generally does not require collateral for
      sales on credit.

      PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT - Property and equipment are stated at cost.
      Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated
      useful lives of three years.

      SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS - The Company capitalizes eligible software
      development costs, which include software enhancement costs, upon
      establishment of technological feasibility, which occurs upon the
      completion of a working model. Costs which were eligible for
      capitalization during the period were insignificant, and thus the Company
      has charged all software development costs to research and development
      expense in the accompanying statement of operations.

      STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION - The Company accounts for stock-based awards to
      employees using the intrinsic value method in accordance with Accounting
      Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
      Employees."

      REVENUE RECOGNITION - Revenues from software sales through license
      arrangements are recognized upon shipment of the product and fulfillment
      of acceptance terms, if any, and when no significant contractual
      obligations remain outstanding. Maintenance revenue is deferred and
      recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance agreement, which is
      typically one year, and was not significant during the period.

      INCOME TAXES - The Company accounts for income taxes under an asset and
      liability approach for financial accounting and reporting of income taxes.
      Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
      between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial
      reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, and net
      operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.

                                                                                 ========
</TABLE>

3.    SHAREHOLDERS' DEFICIENCY

      COMMON STOCK

      The Company issued common stock to employees pursuant to a restricted
      stock purchase agreement. Under the agreement, one-fourth of the shares
      shall be released from the Company's repurchase option after one year and
      one forty-eighth each month thereafter. In the event that the employee is
      terminated by the Company at any time during the vesting period for any
      reason, the Company has the option to repurchase, at the original purchase
      price, any unvested shares as of the date of termination. In the event of
      a change in control of the Company, 2,681,000 of the unvested shares will
      be immediately released from the repurchase option; and in the event of a
      change in control of the Company and constructive termination, an
      additional 2,305,000 of unvested shares will be immediately released from
      the repurchase option. As of December 31, 1996, approximately 4,986,000
      shares of common stock are subject to this repurchase right.

      STOCK SPLIT

      On June 4, 1996, the Company's common stock was split 500 for 1. All
      references to shares of common stock in these financial statements have
      been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split.

      STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

      Under the Company's 1996 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the Plan), the Company
      may grant up to 10,000,000 shares of common stock and equity incentives to
      employees and consultants in the form of stock options, stock appreciation
      rights, restricted stock awards, stock purchase rights and performance
      share awards.

      Stock options can be granted at prices not less than fair market value at
      date of grant for incentive stock options and not less than 10% of fair
      market value for nonstatutory stock options. The incentive stock options
      and nonstatutory stock options expire 10 years and 11 years from the date
      of grant, respectively. The vesting period of options granted are
      determined by the Board and set forth in the individual stock option
      agreements. The vesting period is generally over a four-year period with
      25% vesting one year from the date of grant and monthly vesting
      thereafter.

</TABLE>


      The 424,290 options outstanding as of December 31, 1996 are exercisable at
      $0.10 per share and have a weighted average remaining contractual life of
      9.7 years. None of the outstanding options were exercisable at December
      31, 1996.

      Additional Stock Plan Information

      As discussed in Note 1, the Company continues to account for its
      stock-based awards using the intrinsic value method in accordance with
      Accounting Principles Board No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
      Employees," and its related interpretations. Accordingly, no compensation
      expense has been recognized in the financial statements for employee stock
      arrangements.

      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for
      Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS 123), requires the disclosure of pro forma
      net income had the Company adopted the fair value method as of the
      beginning of the period ended December 31, 1996. Under SFAS 123, the fair
      value of stock-based awards to employees is calculated through the use of
      option pricing models, even though such models were developed to estimate
      the fair value of freely tradable, fully transferable options without
      vesting restrictions, which significantly differ from the Company's stock
      option awards. These models also require subjective assumptions, including
      future stock price volatility and expected time to exercise, which greatly
      affect the calculated values. The Company's calculations were made using
      the Black-Scholes option pricing method with the following weighted
      average assumptions: expected life, five years from the date of grant;
      volatility, 0%; risk-free interest rates, 6%; and no dividends during the
      expected term. The Company's calculations are based on a single option
      valuation approach, and forfeitures are recognized as they occur. If the
      computed fair values of the 1996 awards had been amortized to expense over
      the vesting period of the awards, pro forma net loss would have been
      approximately $380,000.

4.    INCOME TAXES

      The Company's 1996 income tax provision consists of the minimum tax
      payment for California state tax purposes and foreign withholding tax of
      $2,400.

      Significant components of the Company's deferred tax asset at December 31,
      1996 include reserves and accruals not currently deductible, net operating
      loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards. The Company has evaluated
      the likelihood of realization of such deferred tax assets and has
      determined that it is more likely than not that future benefits from the
      deferred tax assets will not be realized. As a result, the Company has
      provided a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets at
      December 31, 1996 of approximately $174,000.






                                      -8-


<PAGE>   10


      The Company has approximately $10,000 as of available tax credits and
      approximately $180,000 of net operating loss carryforwards for California
      income tax purposes which are available through 2001. The Company also has
      approximately $24,000 of available tax credits and approximately $360,000
      of net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes which
      are available through 2011.

      The Tax Reform Act of 1986 and California Conformity Act of 1987 impose
      substantial restrictions on the utilization of net operating loss and tax
      credit carryforwards in the event of an "ownership change," as defined by
      the Internal Revenue Code. Any such ownership change could significantly
      limit the Company's ability to utilize its tax carryforwards.

5.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

      At December 31, 1996, the Company has notes payable to shareholders of
      $155,000. Such notes are payable upon demand and bear no interest.

6.    MAJOR CUSTOMERS

      In 1996, license revenue from three customers accounted for 33%, 15% and
      11% of total net license revenues. At December 31, 1996, two customers
      accounted for 47% and 19% of the accounts receivable balance.

7.    SUBSEQUENT EVENT

      On March 17, 1997, the Company entered into a definitive Agreement and
      Plan for Merger (the Merger) with Network Appliance, Inc., providing for
      the transactions which will result in the Company's business and related
      technologies becoming a subsidiary of Network Appliance, Inc. As a result
      of the Merger, Network Appliance, Inc. became the owner of 100% of the
      issued and outstanding common stock and outstanding options to purchase
      common stock of the Company. Each outstanding share of the Company's
      common stock was converted into 0.0345267 of a share of Network
      Appliance's common stock. Each outstanding option to purchase shares of
      the Company's common stock was assumed by Network Appliance, Inc. and
      converted into an option to purchase 0.0345267 of a share of Network
      Appliance's common stock at an exercise price per share equal to the
      exercise price per share of the option immediately prior to the Merger
      divided by 0.0345267.

         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.

         NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  1.     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).
