       NOTE TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

                                June 30, 2005

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America for interim financial information and the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 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 of America 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 and
six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005. The
balance sheet at December 31, 2004 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, 2004.

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
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 the Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards Board ("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 income(loss) and basic and diluted net income(loss) per
share would have approximated the pro forma amounts indicated below (dollars

There were no options granted in the periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board 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 and
six months ended June 30 are as follows (in thousands):

                   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

The Company reported net losses of $1,695,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2005 and $2,450,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 versus
net income  of $376,000 and a net loss of $975,000, respectively, in the
prior year periods.

Consolidated revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 decreased $2.6
million (61%) to $1.6 million due to sales decreases in both the domestic
and the UK distributorship operations.  The revenues in the domestic
operations decreased $1.5 million (59%) to $1.1 million due to a decrease of
$1.7 on sales, offset, in part, by an increase of $.2 million in service
income.  Included in the 2004 revenues were sales of $1.7 million to a large
telecommunication service provider.  The increase in service income reflects
an increasing base.  Sales of the Company's UK distributorship operations
decreased $1.1 million (65%) due to lower volume.  Consolidated revenues for
the six months ended June 30, 2005 decreased $2.1 million (33%) primarily
due to sales decrease of $1.9 (55%) in the UK distributorship operations due
to lower volume.  The domestic sales decreased $.6 (22%) offset by an
increase of $.4 in maintenance income.  Included in sales in 2004 was $1.7
million to a large telecommunication service provider versus $.3 million in
the current year period; however, the Company has received in July orders of
approximately $2 million from this customer.  Offsetting lower sales to this
customer in 2005 were increased sales of $.7 million to a world-wide
telecommunication system integrator.

Gross margin percentage was 39% for the three months and 49% for the six
months ended June 30, 2005 and 59% and 50%, respectively, in the comparable
2004 periods.  The three-month period ended June 30, 2005 versus the prior
year period was unfavorably impacted by lower sales volume and the
concomitant lower absorption of fixed costs.

Research and development expenses for the three and six-month periods ended
June 30, 2005 increased $.2 million (25%) and $.3 million (23%),
respectively, from the comparable 2004 periods due to higher material costs
and increased personnel costs due to increased salaries and headcount.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $.1 million (7%) and
$.2 million (5%) for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005
versus the prior year periods due to higher professional fees, travel
expense and personnel costs.

Other income, net increased due to higher interest earned on cash balances
and marketable securities due to higher interest rates.


Liquidity and Sources of Capital

Net cash provided by operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was
$1.3 million versus the net cash used of $.2 million in the 2004 period.  In
the 2005 period the positive cash flow from operations was primarily due to

the reduction of accounts receivable by $3.3, offset by a loss from operations.

Working capital and the ratio of current assets to current liabilities were
$10.5 million and 4.7:1 at June 30, 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 $.4 million of
equipment.  Management believes that 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 should 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 three-month and six-month periods
ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the comparable periods of 2004, so the
losses of the UK distributorship operations were translated into more
dollars than they would have in the 2004 periods.  The relative value of the
UK pound to US dollar decreased by 7% from December 31, 2004 to June 30,
2005.  At June 30, 2005, the UK distributorship operations had net assets of
$.5  million.  The Company does not hedge this foreign currency net asset
exposure.

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 June 30, 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.
