EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This post-effective amendment to the registration statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-86649) hereby reflects the transfer from the Harmonic Inc. (the “Registrant”) 1999 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan (the “1999 Plan”) to the Registrant’s 1995 Stock Plan (the “1995 Stock Plan”) of up to 2,985,129 shares of the Registrant’s common stock (“Common Stock”) that have been previously registered and were available for issuance pursuant to the 1999 Plan.

The Registrant has previously registered its Common Stock for issuance under the 1999 Plan on (i) the Registrant’s registration statement on Form S-8, dated September 7, 1999 (Registration No. 333-86649), registering 200,000 shares of Common Stock; (ii) the Registrant’s registration statement on Form S-8, dated August 7, 2000 (Registration No. 333-43160), registering 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock; (iii) the Registrant’s registration statement on Form S-8, dated April 19, 2001 (Registration No. 333-59248), registering 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock; and (iv) the Registrant’s registration statement on Form S-8, dated June 5, 2003 (Registration No. 333-105873), registering 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock.

On April 13, 2004, the Board of Directors of the Registrant adopted by unanimous written consent a resolution approving the transfer from the 1999 Plan to the 1995 Stock Plan, of (a) up to 1,185,129 shares of Common Stock that have been registered and which remained available for issuance under the 1999 Plan as of April 7, 2004; and (b) up to 1,800,000 shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding options, to the extent such options expire, that have been registered and remained available for issuance under the 1999 Plan. At the Registrant’s May 27, 2004 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Registrant’s stockholders approved, among other things, the transfer of shares of Common Stock from the 1999 Plan to the 1995 Stock Plan as described above.

The Registrant is filing a registration statement on Form S-8, also dated the date hereof, which registers additional shares of Common Stock for the 1995 Stock Plan and the Registrant’s 2002 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, and such registration statement acknowledges the transfer of up to 2,985,129 registered shares of Common Stock from the 1999 Plan to the 1995 Stock Plan.
