 NOTE TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

                                March 31, 2003

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States for interim financial information and the instructions
to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31,
2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ending December 31, 2003.  The balance sheet at December 31, 2002
has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date. For
further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto and the quarterly financial data included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

Income Per Share

In computing basic earnings per share, the dilutive effect of stock options
and warrants are excluded, whereas for dilutive earnings per share they are
included.


Stock Based Compensation

The Company grants stock options for a fixed number of shares to employees
with an exercise price equal to the fair value at the date of grant. The
<PAGE>
Company  accounts for stock option grants in accordance with Accounting
Principles Board ("APB")  Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees", and therefore recognizes no compensation expense for stock
options granted.

If the Company had elected to recognize compensation expense for the 1990
Stock Option Plan and the 1967 Stock Purchase Plan based on the fair value
at the grant date , consistent with the method presented by Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based
Compensation", the pro forma net income (loss) and net income (loss) per
share would be as follows (in thousands except per share information):

Item 2.
                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

                FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

For the quarter ended March 31, 2003, the Company reported a loss of $1.3
million ($.23 per diluted share), versus a loss of $.8 million ($.15 per
diluted share) in the comparable 2002 quarter.


Consolidated sales for the first quarter of 2003 decreased $.6 million, or
21%, from the prior year period.  Sales of domestic operations decreased $.9
million, or 56%, due to the continuing reduction in capital expenditures by
the major telecommunications service providers as previously noted by the
Company.  This reduction was offset, in part, by a $.2 million (15%)
increase from the prior year in UK distributorship operation sales.  This
increase is primarily attributable to foreign exchange rates.


The gross margin percentage was approximately 37% in the 2003 quarter versus
38% in the prior year.  This decrease is attributable to decrease in the
sales volume of the domestic operations, offset, in part, by improved
product mix in the UK distributorship operations.

Research and development expense decreased $.2 million (22%) from the same
period in 2002 primarily due to lower personnel costs attributable to lower
headcount expenses and lower contract engineering services expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expense decreased $35,000, or 2%, due to
lower expenses at the Company's domestic operations due to lower personnel
and related expenses, offset, in part, by higher expenses at the UK
distributorship operations.  The increase in the UK distributorship expenses
is primarily due to exchange rates.

Other (income) expense decreased due to lower interest earned on cash
balances and marketable securities, reflecting lower interest rates and
balances.

No tax benefit was provided for the losses incurred in 2003 since the
Company cannot determine that the realization of net deferred tax asset is
more likely than not.

Liquidity and Sources of Capital

Net cash used from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2003 was
$1.1 million versus cash provided of $.1 million in 2002; this decrease in
cash flow is attributable to the higher loss.  The increase in cash provided
by investing activities of $.6 million in 2003 versus $.2 million in 2002
reflects higher net sales of marketable securities and lower capital
expenditures in 2003.

Working capital and the ratio of current assets to current liabilities was
$16.6 million and 5.9:1 at March 31, 2003 compared to $17.8 million and
6.8:1 at December 31, 2002.

During the remainder of 2003, the Company may repurchase up to an additional
<PAGE>
253,792 shares of its common stock and anticipates purchasing $.3 million of
equipment.  Management believes that its cash and cash equivalents and
marketable securities will be sufficient to meet these needs in 2003.


Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results

From time to time, information provided by the Company, statements made by
its employees or information included in its filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (including this Form 10-Q) may contain statements which
are not historical facts, so-called "forward-looking statements".  These
forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  The Company's
actual future results may differ significantly from those stated in any
forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements involve a number of
risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, variability of sales
volume from quarter to quarter, product demand, pricing, market acceptance,
litigation, risk of dependence on significant customers and third party
suppliers, intellectual property rights, risks in product and technology
development and other risk factors detailed in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q and in the Company's other Securities and Exchange Commission filings.



Item 3.  Market Risk

The Company does not use derivative financial instruments.  The Company has
Marketable Securities, which are exposed to changes in interest rates.  Due
to the term of these securities and/or their variable rate provisions, a
change in interest rates would not have a material impact on their value.

Exchange rate fluctuations will impact the results of operations and the net
assets of the Company's UK distributorship operations.  At March 31, 2003,
the UK distributorship operations had net assets of $1.5 million.


Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Cognitronics Corporation's management, including the Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, have conducted an evaluation of the
effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act
Rule 13a-14.  Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and
procedures are effective in ensuring that all material information required
to be filed in this quarterly report has been made known to them in a timely
fashion.  There have been no significant changes in internal controls, or in
factors that could significantly affect internal controls, subsequent to the
date the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer completed their
evaluation.

Item 6.  Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K

99.1 Certification Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Section 1350 as Adopted Pursuant to
Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

(b)  No reports on Form 8-K were filed during the current quarter.
