Income Per Share

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


The Company applies the disclosure only provisions of Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-based
Compensation" and SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation -
Transition and Disclosure" for employee stock option awards.  Had
compensation cost for the Company's stock option plans been determined in
accordance with the fair value-based method prescribed under SFAS 123, the
Company's net loss and basic and diluted net loss per share would have
approximated the pro forma amounts indicated below (dollars in thousands
except per share amounts):

There were no options granted in the periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), "Share-based
Payment" that will require the Company to expense costs related to
share-based payment transactions with employees.  With limited exceptions,
SFAS No. 123(R) requires that the fair value of share-based payments to
employees be expensed over the period service is received and eliminates the
ability to account for these instruments under the intrinsic value method
prescribed by APB No. 25, and allowed under the original provisions of SFAS
No. 123.  SFAS No. 123(R) becomes mandatorily effective for the Company on
January 1, 2006.  SFAS No. 123(R) allows for either prospective recognition
of compensation expense or retrospective recognition, which may be back to
the original issuance of SFAS No. 123 or only to interim periods in the year
of adoption.  The Company is currently evaluating these transition methods.


Pension Plan

The Company and its domestic subsidiaries have a defined benefit pension
plan. No additional service cost benefits were earned subsequent to June 30,
1994.  The Company's funding policy is to contribute amounts to the plan
sufficient to meet the minimum funding requirements set forth in the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, plus such additional
amounts as the Company may determine to be appropriate from time to time.


The components of net periodic benefit cost of the plan for the three months
ended March 31 are as follows (in thousands):

The Company expects the funding requirement to be $185,000 in 2005 of which
$42,000 was funded during the current interim period.

Item 2.
                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

                FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results

The following information, including, without limitation, the Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk that are not historical facts,
may be forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934.  These statements generally are characterized by the use of terms such
as "believe", "expect" and "may".  Although the Company believes that the
expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon
reasonable assumptions, the Company's actual results could differ materially
from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.  Factors that might
cause such a difference include, but are 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.

Results of Operations

For the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the Company reported a loss of $.8
million ($.13 per basic and diluted share), versus a loss of $1.4 million
($.24 per basic and diluted share) in the comparable 2004 quarter.


Consolidated revenues for the first quarter of 2005 increased $.5 million,
or 21%, from the prior year period.  Revenues of domestic operations
increased $1.3 million, or 299%, due to increased product sales of $1.2
million due to sales of $725,000 to a world-wide telecommunication system
integrator and an increase in sales to telecommunication service providers.
The revenues of the UK distributorship operations decreased in the first
quarter of 2005 from the prior year by $.8 million (45%) due to lower sales
volume.  Included in the 2004 quarter was an order of $471,000 for power
over LAN equipment which was not repeated in the current year's quarter.

The gross margin percentage was approximately 55% in the 2005 quarter versus
33% in the prior year.  This increase is attributable to the increase in the
sales volume and service revenues of the domestic operations.

Research and development expense increased $.1 million (21%) from the same
period in 2004, primarily due to higher personnel costs.

Selling, general and administrative expense increased $60,000, or 4%,
primarily due to higher commissions and salaries in the domestic operations.

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

No tax benefit was provided for the losses incurred in 2005 since the
Company cannot determine that the realization of the net deferred tax asset
is more likely than not.


Liquidity and Sources of Capital

Net cash provided by operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005
was $2.0 million versus $.1 million in 2004; this variance from the prior
year is attributable to the decrease in accounts receivable in the 2005
quarter.  The cash used by investing activities of $2.2 million in 2005
versus $1.2 provided in 2004 reflects net purchases of marketable securities
in 2005 versus net sales in 2004.

Working capital and the ratio of current assets to current liabilities was
$12.1 million and 4.3:1 at March 31, 2005 compared to $12.7 million and
5.4:1 at December 31, 2004.

During the remainder of 2005, the Company may repurchase up to an additional
253,792 shares of its common stock and anticipates purchasing $.3 million of
equipment.  Management believes that the cash flow from operations, its cash
and cash equivalents and marketable securities will be sufficient to meet
these needs in 2005.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About 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.  The UK pound was
stronger against the US dollar during the first quarter of 2005 as compared
to the first quarter of 2004 so the loss of the UK distributorship
operations was translated into more dollars than they would have in the
first quarter of 2004.  The relative value of the UK pound to US dollar was
approximately the same at March 31, 2005 as at December 31, 2004.  At March
31, 2005, the UK distributorship operations had net assets of $1.0 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 as of the end of the period covered by this report
in ensuring that all material information required to be disclosed in this
quarterly report and all information required to be disclosed by the Company
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 has been made known to them in a
timely fashion.  During the three months ended March 31, 2005, there were no
changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Company's internal controls for financial reporting.
