PHOTON DYNAMICS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1-Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
Photon Dynamics, Inc. (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim
financial information and with 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 only of normal recurring adjustments) considered
necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods
presented have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months
ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending September 30, 2003. This financial information
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes
thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended September 30, 2002.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2002, is
derived from the Companys audited consolidated financial statements as of
September 30, 2002, included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, but does not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements.

Certain prior year and prior quarter balances have been reclassified to
conform to the current financial statement presentation. These
reclassifications had no impact on previously reported results of operations or
shareholders equity.

Description of Operations

Through January 14, 2003, the Company conducted business in three
operating segments: flat panel display products, cathode ray tube display and
high quality glass inspection products and printed circuit board assembly
inspection products. The Companys flat panel display products include test,
repair, inspection and rapid thermal process equipment. The Companys flat
panel display test and inspection equipment identifies and characterizes
defects at early stages of the manufacturing process so that the panels may be
repaired before the next stage, or, if necessary, discarded, minimizing the
loss of time and materials. The Companys flat panel display test and
inspection products gather comprehensive data that enable flat panel display
manufacturers to control and refine their manufacturing processes. The
Companys rapid thermal process equipment enables manufacturers of flat panel
displays to thermally activate low temperature poly-silicon films at
temperatures that would otherwise distort or destroy underlying glass
substrates. The Companys cathode ray tube display and high quality glass
inspection products allow cathode ray tube display manufacturers to locate and
characterize defects and glass manufacturers to detect and identify defects
such as scratches, pits, bubbles, stones, inclusions and distortions, thereby
increasing yields and quality and reducing costs. The Companys printed circuit
board assembly inspection products enable printed circuit board assembly
inspection manufacturers to detect and identify defects, thereby increasing
yields and quality and reducing costs.

In January 2003, the Company implemented a plan to exit the printed
circuit board assembly inspection business. In June 2003, the Company
implemented a plan to exit the cathode ray tube display and high quality glass
inspection businesses. Accordingly, the operating results of these business
segments have been presented as discontinued operations in accordance with the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting
for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets, (FAS 144) and the
Companys condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnotes
have been reclassified to conform with the current periods basis of
presentation. Accordingly, in the condensed consolidated statements of
operations, the operating results of these businesses have been classified as
Loss from discontinued operations, for the three and nine month periods ended
June 30, 2003 and 2002. The cash flows from these businesses have been
presented as Net cash flows from discontinued operations in the operating,
investing and financing sections of the condensed consolidated statements of
cash flows.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the selling price
is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured.

##### Table of Contents



The Company accounts for certain of its product sales, including sales to
a value-added reseller, as arrangements with multiple deliverables. For
arrangements with multiple deliverables, the Company recognizes revenue for the
delivered items if the delivered items have value to the customer on a
standalone basis, the amount of revenue for delivered elements is not subject
to refund, the Company has met defined customer acceptance experience levels
for the delivered items, and the fair value of undelivered items, such as
installation and system upgrade rights, can be reliably determined. The Company
allocates revenue to the delivered items based on the amount due and billable
upon shipment, with the remaining amount recognized after installation and
acceptance when the final amount becomes due. The Company recognizes all other
product sales upon customer acceptance. The Company recognizes revenue from the
sale of spare parts upon shipment.

The Company records a provision for estimated sales returns in the same
period as the related revenue is recorded, which is netted against revenue.
These estimates are based on historical sales returns and other known factors.
If the historical data the Company uses to calculate these estimates does not
properly reflect future returns, additional provisions may be required.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In
January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 46,
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46), an Interpretation of
Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 Consolidated
Financial Statements. FIN 46 requires certain variable interest entities to be
consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors
in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial
interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its
activities without additional subordinated financial support from other
parties. FIN 46 is effective immediately for all new variable interest entities
created or acquired after January 31, 2003. For variable interest entities
created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 must be
applied for the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2003.
The Company believes that the adoption of this standard will have no material
impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In April 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities (FAS 149). This statement amends FAS 133 to provide
clarification on the financial accounting and reporting of derivative
instruments and hedging activities and requires contracts with similar
characteristics to be accounted for on a comparable basis. The Company is in
the process of assessing the effect of FAS 149 and does not expect the
adoption of it, which is effective for contracts entered into or modified
after June 30, 2003, to have a material effect on its financial condition or
results of operations.

In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics
of both Liabilities and Equity (FAS 150). FAS 150 establishes standards on
the classification and measurement of financial instruments with
characteristics of both liabilities and equity. FAS 150 will become effective
for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003. The
Company is in the process of assessing the effect of FAS 150 and does not
expect the implementation of it to have a material effect on
its financial condition or results of operations.

NOTE 2-Discontinued Operations

Printed Circuit Board Assembly Inspection Business

The Companys printed circuit board assembly inspection products enabled
printed circuit board assembly inspection manufacturers to detect and identify
defects, thereby increasing yields and quality and reducing costs. The Company
previously sold its products for the printed circuit board assembly industry
primarily through sales representatives and distributors. The Company generally
recognized revenue from the sale of its printed circuit board assembly
inspection products upon shipment; as such product sales were not subject to
customer acceptance provisions. In January 2003, the Company implemented a plan
to exit the printed circuit board assembly inspection business. Accordingly,
the operating results of this business segment have been reclassified as a
discontinued operation for all periods presented. The Company is attempting to
liquidate the operations remaining inventory through a third-party auctioneer
and is attempting to sublease the facilities associated with the discontinued
operations, but there can be no assurances that the Company will be successful
in recovering any costs associated with this discontinued operation.

The following table summarizes the results of discontinuing the printed
circuit board assembly inspection products reporting segment:

The loss from discontinued operations for the nine months ended June 30,
2003, includes a write-off of inventory of approximately $7.8 million, a
write-off of accounts receivable of approximately $1.7 million, and a write-off
of licensed technology of approximately $1.9 million. The nine month loss also
includes impairment charges of approximately $15.1 million of goodwill, $2.9
million of purchase intangibles and $2.5 million of long-lived assets recorded
during the three months ended December 31, 2002, as a result of managements
assessment of indicators of impairment that existed prior to the Companys
formal decision to discontinue the operations of this segment. Such impairment
charges were recorded in accordance with the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,
(FAS 142) and FAS 144.

Cathode Ray Tube Display and High Quality Glass Inspection Business

The Companys cathode ray tube display and high quality glass inspection
products allowed cathode ray tube display manufacturers to locate and
characterize defects and glass manufacturers to detect and identify defects
such as scratches, pits, bubbles, stones, inclusions and distortions, thereby
increasing yields and quality and reducing costs. The Company previously sold
its products for the cathode ray tube display and high quality glass inspection
industry primarily through sales representatives and distributors. The Company
generally recognized revenue from product sales upon customer acceptance. In
June 2003, the Company implemented a plan to exit the cathode ray tube display
and high quality glass inspection business. Accordingly, the operating results
of this business segment have been reclassified as a discontinued operation for
all periods presented and the Company now conducts business in one segment.
The Company is attempting to sell the assets associated with this discontinued
operations, but there can be no assurances that the Company will be successful
in recovering any costs associated with this discontinued operation.

The following table summarizes the results of discontinuing the cathode
ray tube display and high quality glass inspection products reporting segment:

Other current liabilities at June 30, 2003 include approximately $612,000
related to employee severance and related benefits, approximately $321,000
related to non-severance employee benefits, approximately $236,000 related to
warranty obligations, approximately $460,000 related to operating lease
obligations, and approximately $73,000 in miscellaneous other accrued amounts.
Lease obligations are to be paid out through March of 2008. The Company is
terminating a total of 40 employees and expects to pay out all severance and
related benefit amounts by September of 2003.

Other liabilities of approximately $305,000 relate to a loan payable to
the National Research Council of Canada. The loan was an advance under a
program for pre-commercialization assistance in the development of glass
inspection technology. Under the agreement, the loan was to be repaid based on
a percentage of gross revenue earned, on a quarterly basis, through July 1,
2004. The loan amount is expected to be settled by September 30, 2003.

NOTE 3- Stock Ownership Expense

As permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148,
Accounting for Stock Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure, the
Company has elected to continue to follow the intrinsic value method under
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees (APB 25), to account for stock options issued to employees under
the Companys employee stock option and stock purchase plans and amortizes
deferred compensation, if any, over the vesting period of the options. The
stock ownership expense resulting from issuance of fixed term stock option
awards is measured as the difference between the exercise price of the option
and the fair market value of the underlying share of common stock subject to
the option on the awards grant date. The Company has elected to make pro forma
disclosures as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (FAS 123). The Company
estimates the fair value of its stock-based awards to employees using the
Black-Scholes multiple option approach pricing model. The value of each option
grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model for the multiple option approach with the following weighted-average
assumptions:

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in
estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions
and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the
input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price
volatility. Because the Companys employee stock option and employee stock
purchase plans have characteristics significantly different from those of
traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can
materially affect the fair value estimate, in managements opinion, the
existing models do not provide a reliable measure of the fair value of the
Company options.

For purposes of pro forma disclosures required by FAS 123, the estimated
fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the vesting periods
applicable to the options. The Companys pro forma information for the three
and nine months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, is as follows:

NOTE 6  Derivative Instruments

Under its foreign currency risk management strategy, the Company utilizes
derivative instruments to protect its interests from unanticipated fluctuations
in earnings and cash flows caused by volatility in currency exchange rates.
This financial exposure is monitored and managed by the Company as an integral
part of its overall risk management program which focuses on the
unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to reduce the potentially
adverse effects that the volatility of these markets may have on its operating
results. During the current quarter, the Company hedged certain of its
anticipated foreign currency exposures with hedging instruments having
maturities of up to sixteen months.

The Company accounts for its derivatives instruments according to
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (FAS 133), which requires that
all derivatives be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the
fair value of derivatives which do not qualify, or are not effective as hedges
must be

recognized currently in earnings. The Company does not use derivative
financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes, nor do we hold or
issue leveraged derivative financial instruments.

The Companys international sales are primarily denominated in U.S.
dollars. For foreign currency denominated sales, however, the volatility of the
foreign currency markets represents risk to the Companys margins. The Company
defines its exposure as the risk of changes in the
functional-currency-equivalent cash flows (generally U.S. dollars) attributable
to changes in the related foreign currency exchange rates. Upon forecasting the
current quarter exposure, the Company hedged certain transactions with forward
sales contracts with critical terms designed to match those of the underlying
exposure. The Company did not qualify these current forward sales contracts as
hedging instruments, as defined by FAS 133, and, as such, records the changes
in the fair value of these derivatives and the underlying hedged instruments in
Interest income and other, net in the Companys Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Operations. The Company records the fair value of its derivative
instruments within Other current liabilities in the Companys Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheet. At June 30, 2003, the Company had foreign exchange
forward contracts maturing throughout fiscal 2003 and 2004 to sell
approximately 720 million Japanese Yen. Losses from changes in fair values at
June 30, 2003 were not material.

NOTE 7-Acquisitions

In November 2002, the Company acquired certain assets relating to rapid
thermal processing technology (the RTP Assets) from Intevac, Inc.
(Intevac). The acquired technology is used to activate low temperature
poly-silicon films during the manufacturing process for flat panel displays and
expands the Companys product offerings to its current customer base into
process equipment. The purchase price was $20.0 million of cash, of which $18.0
million was paid to Intevac at closing and an additional $2.0 million was
placed into escrow, which can be released either to the Company or to Intevac
depending on the occurrence of certain future events during the escrow period
as follows: $1.2 million related to the attainment of a certain level of sales
by the Company of equipment included in the RTP Assets acquired from Intevac,
$500,000 related to the re-issuance of a former rapid thermal processing patent
in Japan for certain acquired technology and $300,000 for indemnification and
reimbursement should Intevac breach any representations and warranties under
the acquisition agreement. The Companys preliminary allocation of the purchase
consideration (see below) excludes the contingent consideration of $2.0 million
and accordingly, amounts allocated to goodwill may increase based on the
outcome of these events. In addition, the Company assumed approximately
$350,000 of liabilities and incurred approximately $500,000 in
acquisition-related expenses, consisting primarily of consulting, legal and
accounting fees. The identifiable assets acquired primarily included accounts
receivable, inventory and fixed assets. The funds used to purchase the RTP
Assets came out of the Companys working capital.

In May 2003, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of
Summit Imaging, Inc. (the Summit Assets). Summit Imaging, Inc. (Summit)
designed and manufactured cooled cameras for the capital equipment industry.
The purchase price was $1.5 million of cash. In addition, the Company assumed
approximately $15,000 of liabilities and incurred approximately $130,000 in
acquisition-related expenses, consisting primarily of consulting, legal and
accounting fees. The identifiable assets acquired consisted primarily of
inventory. The funds used to purchase the Summit Assets came out of the
Companys working capital.

The acquisitions of both the RTP Assets and Summit Assets were accounted
for under the purchase method of accounting. The purchase prices were allocated
by management to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed taking into
account an independent appraisal of their respective fair values. To determine
the value of the developed and core technologies, the expected future cash
flows attributed to all existing technology were discounted, taking into
account risks related to the characteristics and application of the technology,
existing and future markets and assessments of the life cycle stage of the
technology. The value attributed to the RTP backlog was related to purchase
orders that had been received prior to the close of the acquisition, determined
as the expected discounted cash flow resulting from the revenue related to the
shipment of such orders, less normal profit margins.

The value of in-process research and development for both acquisitions was
determined based on the expected cash flow attributed to the in-process
projects, taking into account revenue that was attributable to previously
developed technology, the level of effort to date in the in-process research
and development, the percentage of completion of the project and the level of
risk associated with the in-process technology. The projects identified as
in-process were those that were underway as of the acquisition date and that
will, after the applicable closing date, require additional effort in order to
establish technological feasibility and have no alternative future uses. These
projects have identifiable technological risk factors that indicate that even
though successful completion is expected, it is not assured. The value of
in-process research and development has been included in the Companys results
of operations.

##### Table of Contents



The Company applied discount factors to the projected cash flows of the
acquired technology in order to determine the present value, based on discount
rates with inherent risk and expected growth of the developed, core and
in-process technologies. The discount rates used for the RTP Assets were 15%,
20% and 25% for the developed, core and in-process technologies, respectively.
The discount rates used for the Summit Assets were 50% and 60% for the core and
in-process technologies, respectively.

A summary of the preliminary allocation of the purchase price is as
follows:

The acquired core technology and acquired developed technology from RTP
and Summit are being amortized over five years and four years, respectively.
The RTP backlog was amortized to cost of sales at the time revenue was
recognized for the related customer orders. The Summit non-compete agreement is
being amortized over two years.

The following pro-forma information presents the results of continuing
operations of the Company for the nine months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 as
if the RTP Assets and Summit had been acquired as of October 1, 2001. The pro-forma information does not purport to be indicative of
what would have occurred had the acquisition been made as of these dates or of
results that may occur in the future.

The pro forma results exclude nonrecurring charges, such as the write-off

NOTE 8-Goodwill and Other Long-Lived Assets

Goodwill

In accordance with FAS 142, the Company is required to review goodwill for
impairment of value, at least annually, and in certain circumstances between
annual tests if there are indicators of impairment. The goodwill impairment
test involves a two-step process. Step one consists of a comparison of the fair
value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including the goodwill
allocated to the reporting unit. If the carrying amount is in excess of the
fair value, step two requires the comparison of the implied fair value of the
reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of the reporting unit
goodwill. Any excess of the carrying value of the reporting unit goodwill over
the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill will be recorded as an
impairment loss.

In conjunction with the acquisitions of the RTP Assets in November 2002
and the Summit Assets in May 2003, the Company recorded goodwill of
approximately $7.3 million and $106,000, respectively.

In conjunction with the Companys acquisition of Akcron Corporation Ltd.
(Akcron) in September 2002, the Company established a $1.7 million liability
for a portion of the purchase price to be held by the Company as security for
indemnification should Akcron breach any of its representations and warranties.
In the nine month period ended June 30, 2003, adjustments of $770,000 were made
to the Akcron liability, consisting of $320,000 for a breach of warranty
related to the collectibility of a receivable and $350,000 related to the
non-occurence of a certain event.

For the nine month period ended June 30, 2003 goodwill has decreased $320,000.
This change results from the aforementioned $350,000 reduction to the
Akcron liability which
reduced the purchase price with no change to the net assets acquired, and other
miscellaneous adjustments that increased goodwill by $30,000, primarily
associated with the RTP acquisition.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2003, based on further deterioration of
business conditions from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002 when the Company
recorded impairment of goodwill, the Company performed an interim analysis of
the fair value of the printed circuit board assembly reporting unit. As a
result of this analysis, the Company determined that the goodwill remaining in
the printed circuit board assembly reporting unit was impaired and recorded an
impairment charge of $15.1 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2002. The
valuation was done as of December 31, 2002, using established valuation
techniques, specifically, the income and market approaches.

Intangible Assets

In accordance with FAS 144, the Company performs tests for impairment of
its long-lived assets, including intangible assets whenever events or
circumstances suggest that such assets may be impaired. FAS 144 requires the
Company to assess whether the carrying value is recoverable from undiscounted
future cash flows. If the assets are not recoverable, the impairment is
calculated by the difference between the carrying value of the assets and their
fair value which is generally determined based on discounted future cash flows.
Accordingly, in the first quarter of fiscal 2003, based on certain indicators
of impairment in the printed circuit board assembly inspection division, the
Company performed an impairment analysis of purchased intangible assets and
certain other long-lived assets associated with the printed circuit board
assembly inspection reporting unit. As a result, the Company recorded
impairment charges of approximately $2.9 million related to the unamortized
portion of the acquired developed and core technology intangible assets and
approximately $2.9 million related to certain other long-lived assets to reduce
the carrying values of purchased intangible assets and other long-lived assets
to their respective estimated values.

NOTE 9-Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number
of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed
in the same manner and also gives effect to all dilutive common equivalent
shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares consist of stock
options issued to employees under employee stock option plans and warrants.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net
income (loss) per share:

NOTE 10- Geographic Information

Through January 14, 2003, the Company conducted business in three
operating segments: flat panel display products, cathode ray tube display and
high quality glass inspection products and printed circuit board assembly
inspection products. In January 2003, the Company implemented a plan to exit
the printed circuit board assembly inspection business. In June 2003, the
Company implemented a plan to exit the cathode rate tube display and high
quality glass inspection businesses. Accordingly, the operating results of
these business segments have been reclassified as discontinued operations and
the Company now conducts business in one segment.

The Company sells its products for the flat panel display industry
directly to customers in Korea and Taiwan and through both direct sales and a
value-added reseller, Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. in Japan.

NOTE 12-Restructuring Charges

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company implemented a
restructuring plan to reduce its workforce, consolidate and close certain
facilities and write-off related fixed assets in accordance with a
management-approved plan. The Company recorded a restructuring charge of $2.6
million, which was comprised of approximately $550,000 for employee severance
and related benefits, $1.3 million related to excess facilities and $700,000 of
abandoned assets with no future economic benefit. The charge for excess
facilities relates to rent obligations under long term operating lease
agreements which are to be paid in cash through December 2006. In the three
month period ended March 31, 2003, the Company renegotiated the terms of the
lease obligation related to one of the excess facilities, resulting in a
reduction to the liability of approximately $237,000. In the three-month period
ended June 30, 2003, the

Company subleased a portion of one of the excess facilities, resulting in a
reduction to the liability of approximately $483,000. These benefits were
taken as part of the discontinued operations. As of June 30, 2003, the
remaining liability associated with the restructuring plan was approximately
$388,000, which consisted of operating lease obligations associated with excess
facilities. Management settled all employee severance and related benefits in
the second quarter of fiscal 2003.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company implemented a
restructuring plan as a result of several initiatives, including the
integration of Intelligent Reasoning Systems, Inc. into the printed circuit
board assembly inspection division, the combining of sales and service into one
organization and the Companys continuing strategy to outsource manufacturing.
As of June 30, 2003, the remaining liability associated with this restructuring
plan was approximately $296,000, which represented contractual payments to be
paid to a former executive officer of the Company through March 2004. There
have been no adjustments to the liability.

NOTE 13-Warranty Obligations

The Company generally offers warranty coverage for a period of one year
from the date of final customer acceptance. Upon product shipment, the Company
records the estimated cost of warranty coverage, primarily material and labor
to repair and service the equipment. Factors that affect the Companys warranty
liability include the number of installed units under warranty, product failure
rates, material usage rates and the efficiency by which the product failure is
corrected. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded
warranty liability and adjusts the amount as necessary.

Changes in the Companys product liability during the nine month period
ended June 30, 2003, were as follows:

terminated on January 15, 2003. The repurchases were made from time to time on
the open market at prevailing prices, in negotiated transactions off the market
or pursuant to a 10b5-1 plan adopted by the Company. The 10b5-1 plan allowed
the Company to repurchase its shares during a period in which the Company was
in possession of material non-public information, provided that the Company
communicated share repurchase instructions to the broker at a time when it was
not in possession of such material non-public information. During the period
October 1, 2002 through January 15, 2003, the Company repurchased 903,032
shares for an aggregate repurchase price of approximately $17.7 million. As of
January 15, 2003, the Company had purchased a total of 1,253,932 shares for an
aggregate repurchase price of approximately $24.6 million.

NOTE 15-Shareholders Equity

On February 4, 2003, at the Companys Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the
Companys shareholders approved an increase of 400,000 shares reserved for
grant under the Companys Amended and Restated 1995 Stock Option Plan from a
total of 2,590,943 shares to 2,990,943 shares and an increase of 250,000 shares
authorized for issuance under the Companys 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
from a total of 1,000,000 shares to 1,250,000 shares

NOTE 16-Legal Proceedings

The Company filed a lawsuit captioned Photon Dynamics, Inc. vs.
PanelVision Technology and Guillermo Toro-Lira, No. CO202563PJH filed on May
28, 2002, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California,
County of Santa Clara. The Company is alleging infringement of a U.S. Patent
owned by it and seeking full compensatory damages and an injunction against the
defendants. On July 17, 2002, the defendants answered the Companys complaint
and asserted a counterclaim alleging damages of at least $6.0 million in
compensatory damages for loss of business. The Company believes that the
counterclaims are without merit and intends to vigorously contest the
counterclaims. On January 23, 2003, the Company added Shimadzu Corporation as
an additional defendant. On April 23, 2003, the defendants added additional
counterclaims against the Company alleging violations of the antitrust laws and
requesting the damages sought to be trebled. Subsequently, the court bifurcated
the antitrust claims of Toro-Lira and Shimadzu Corporation against the Company,
thus deferring any consideration of these claims until the conclusion of the
patent infringement issues. An adverse determination in this
litigation may have a material adverse effect on the financial condition
or results of operations of the Company.

The Company has been named as defendant in a lawsuit captioned Thomason v.
Photon Dynamics, Inc., No. 02CC03568, filed on February 28, 2002 in the
Superior Court of the State of California, County of Orange. The plaintiff in
this action has purported to assert that he was wrongly not allowed to exercise
certain stock options and is seeking damages of approximately $900,000. On
March 29, 2002, the Company responded to the lawsuit and filed a counterclaim
against the plaintiff for breach of a general release agreement. On December
19, 2002, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment. While the Company
intends to vigorously

contest the action, it cannot predict the outcome of this litigation. The
Company believes that an adverse determination in this litigation would not
have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of
operations.

The Company and certain of its directors and officers have been named as
defendants in a lawsuit captioned Amtower v. Photon Dynamics, Inc., No.
CV797876, filed on April 30, 2001 in the Superior Court of the State of
California, County of Santa Clara. The plaintiff, who previously served as one
of the Companys officers, has asserted several causes of action arising out of
alleged misrepresentations made to plaintiff regarding the existence and
enforcement of the Companys insider trading policy. The plaintiff is seeking
damages of approximately $17.7 million for defendants alleged refusal to allow
plaintiff to sell shares of the Companys stock in May of 2000, plus
unspecified emotional distress and punitive damages. On December 6, 2001, the
court granted defendants motion to dismiss the complaint for failure to allege
facts sufficient to state a cause of action, with leave to file an amended
complaint. On January 17, 2002, plaintiff filed his amended complaint and
defendants again moved to dismiss the action. On June 27, 2002, the court
issued an order granting in part and denying in part the motion, and further
granted plaintiff an opportunity to restate certain claims. On October 1, 2002,
plaintiff filed his Second Amended Complaint, which was heard on April 8, 2003,
and defendants again moved to dismiss the action. On April 21, 2003, the court
granted in part and denied in part the Companys motion. The pleadings have
been finalized and certain claims against the Company and the individual
defendants will proceed. The Company believes the plaintiffs case is without
merit and intends to defend this action vigorously. Although the Company cannot
predict the outcome of this litigation, the Company believes that any adverse
judgment in this litigation would not have a material adverse effect on the
Companys financial condition or results of operations.

NOTE 17 -Subsequent Events

In April 2003, the Company extended its bank line of credit until June
2003, and, in June 2003, further extended its line of credit until July 2003.
In July 2003, the line of credit was renewed through July 2004. The line of
credit is secured by substantially all of the Companys assets and contains
certain financial and other covenants. The Company has not made any drawings
under this line as of June 30, 2003.

ITEM 2.Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains 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. Actual results could differ materially
from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number
of factors, risks and uncertainties, including the risk factors set forth in
this discussion, especially under the caption Factors Affecting Operating
Results and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. Generally, the words anticipate,
expect, intend, believe and similar expressions identify forward-looking
statements. The information included in this Form 10-Q is as of the filing date
with the Securities and Exchange Commission and future events or circumstances
could differ significantly from the forward-looking statements included here.
Accordingly, we caution readers not to place undue reliance on such statements.
We expressly disclaim any obligation to update or alter our forward-looking
statements, whether, as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in Item 1
above and with our financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended
September 30, 2002, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Overview

We are a leading provider of yield management solutions to the flat panel
display industry. Our test, repair and inspection systems are used by
manufacturers to collect data, analyze product quality and identify and repair
product defects at critical steps in the manufacturing process. We recently
acquired rapid thermal processing technology, which enables manufacturers of
flat panel displays to thermally activate low temperature poly-silicon films at
temperatures that would otherwise distort or destroy underlying glass
substrates. We also recently acquired substantially all of the assets of Summit
Imaging, Inc., which supplies cooled cameras for our manufacturing process.
These acquisitions support our strategy of owning key technologies which will
positively impact our products technology content and lower the cost of our
products.

Through January 2003, we offered yield management solutions for the
printed circuit board assembly industry; however, in January 2003, we
implemented a plan to exit the printed circuit board assembly inspection
business. Through June 2003, we offered yield management solutions for cathode
ray tube display and high quality glass industries; however in June 2003, we
implemented a plan to exit the cathode ray tube display and high quality glass
business. Accordingly, the operating results of these business segments have
been presented as discontinued operations and our results of operations for the
prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current periods
presentation.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States for interim financial information. The preparation of these
financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect
the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we
evaluate our estimates, including those related to accounts receivable,
inventories, purchase order commitments, warranty obligations, intangible
assets and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical
experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable
under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making
judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not
readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more
significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated
financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the selling price is
fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured.

We account for certain of our product sales, including sales to a value
added reseller, as arrangements with multiple deliverables. For arrangements
with multiple deliverables, we recognize revenue for the delivered items if the
delivered items have value to the customer on a standalone basis, and the
amount of revenue for delivered elements is not subject to refund, we have met
defined

19



---



##### Table of Contents



customer acceptance experience levels for the delivered items, and the fair
value of undelivered items, such as installation and system upgrade rights, can
be reliably determined. We allocate revenue to the delivered items based on the
amount due and billable upon shipment, with the remaining amount recognized
after installation and acceptance when the final amount becomes due. We
recognize all other product sales upon customer acceptance. We recognize
revenue from the sale of spare parts upon shipment.

We record a provision for estimated sales returns in the same period as
the related revenue is recorded, which is netted against revenue. These
estimates are based on historical sales returns and other known factors. If the
historical data we use to calculate these estimates does not properly reflect
future returns, additional provisions may be required.

Accounts Receivable

We maintain an allowance for the inability of our customers to make
required payments. These estimates are based on historical data, the length of
time the receivables are past due and other known factors. If a single customer
returned a product or was unable or unwilling to make payments, additional
allowances may be required as certain of our products have selling prices in
excess of $1.5 million per unit. Accordingly, a single customer could have a
material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Inventories

We make purchase commitments for inventory based upon existing backlog and
sales forecasts. To mitigate supply constraints and to fulfill orders for
non-standard configurations, we maintain certain inventory levels especially
for parts with long lead times.

Inventories consist of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods
and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is computed using currently
adjusted standards which approximate actual costs on a first-in, first-out
basis. We assess the recoverability of all inventory and purchase commitments
to determine whether write-downs are required. Inventory which is obsolete
(defined as inventory that will no longer be used in the manufacturing process)
or in excess of the forecasted usage is written down to its estimated fair
value based on projected demand, historical usage and other known factors. If
actual demand is lower than our forecast, additional inventory write-downs may
be required.

Warranty Obligations

Our warranty policy generally states that we will provide warranty
coverage for a period of one year from final acceptance. We record the
estimated cost of warranty coverage, primarily material and labor to repair and
service the equipment, upon product shipment. Our warranty obligation is
affected by the number of installed units under warranty, product failure
rates, material usage rates and the efficiency by which the product failure is
corrected. Should actual product failure rates, material usage and labor
efficiencies differ from our estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty
liability would be required.

Goodwill

We account for goodwill and other intangible assets resulting from our
acquisitions in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (FAS 142). FAS 142 prohibits the
amortization of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives.
FAS 142 requires that these assets be reviewed for impairment at least annually
and more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. The process for
evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill is highly subjective and
requires significant judgment at many points during the analysis. In estimating
the fair value of the reporting unit with recognized goodwill, we make
estimates and judgments about the future cash flows of the reporting unit. Our
cashflow forecasts are based on assumptions that are consistent with the plans
and estimates we are using to manage the underlying business. We also consider
our market capitalization (adjusted for unallocated monetary assets such as
cash, marketable debt securities and debt) in determining the fair value of the
respective businesses. Should actual results differ from our estimates,
revisions to the recorded amount of goodwill could be reported.

Long-Lived Assets and Intangible Assets

Intangible assets with finite lives and other long-lived assets are
amortized over their estimated useful lives and subject to evaluation for
impairment. We review long-lived assets including intangible assets for
impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that
the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable, such as a
significant industry downturn, significant decline in the market value of the
company, or significant reductions
in projected future cash flows. An impairment loss would be recognized
when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use
of the asset and

20

##### Table of Contents



its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount. An impairment
charge, if any, is determined using discounted cash flows. In assessing the
recoverability of long-lived assets including intangible assets we must make
assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to
determine the fair value of the respective assets. If these estimates or their
related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record
impairment charges for these assets.

Restructuring Costs

We have accounted for restructuring costs incurred prior to December 31,
2002, in accordance with the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF)
Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination
Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred
in a Restructuring). Restructuring costs, associated with the discontinued
operations, occurring subsequent to December 31, 2002, have been accounted for
under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146 Accounting for
Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. These accruals include
estimates pertaining to employee separation costs and related abandonment of
excess equipment and facilities. Actual costs may differ from these estimates.

Contingencies and Litigation

We make an assessment of the probability of an adverse judgment resulting
from current and threatened litigation. We accrue the cost of an adverse
judgment if, in our estimation, the adverse settlement is probable and we can
reasonably estimate the ultimate cost of such litigation. We have made no such
accruals at June 30, 2003.

Results of Operations

The percentage of net revenue represented by certain line items in our
consolidated statement of operations for the periods indicated, are set forth
in the table below.

Revenue

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was approximately $18.0
million compared to approximately $15.0 million in the same period of the prior
fiscal year, representing an increase of approximately $3.0 million, or 20%.
This increase was primarily due to increased shipments of our ArrayChecker 3500
and 3500 upgrades. Revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2003, was
approximately $46.2 million compared to approximately $36.4 million for the
nine months ended June 30, 2002, representing an increase of approximately $9.8
million, or 27%. This increase was primarily due to an increase in Array
Checker unit volumes compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year and
approximately $3.6 million of revenue contributed by the rapid thermal
processing products which is based on the technology we acquired in November
2002.

Our international revenue is derived primarily from customers in Korea,
Taiwan and Japan. International revenue represented 100% of our revenue in the
three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. For the three month
period ended June 30, 2003, revenue from Taiwan and Japan, collectively,
decreased approximately $1.6 million while revenue from Korea increased
approximately $4.7 million compared to the same period of the prior fiscal
year. For the nine months ended June 30, 2003, revenue from Japan and Taiwan
decreased approximately $5.6 million while revenue from Korea increased
approximately $15.4 million over the same period of the prior fiscal year.
These fluctuations are due to the buying patterns of our customers, which have
been uneven in fiscal 2003, primarily due to overriding market conditions.

Gross Margin

Gross margin decreased to approximately 35% in the three month period
ended June 30, 2003, from approximately 49% in the three month period ended
June 30, 2002. For the nine month period ended June 30, 2003, gross margin was
32% as compared to 46% for the same period of the prior fiscal year. The
overall decrease in gross margin for the nine months ended June 30, 2003 was
attributed to the contribution of lower margins from end-of-life pricing on the
ArrayChecker 2000 systems, manufacturing inefficiencies resulting from the
introduction of our new ArrayChecker 3500 product and 3500 upgrades, and lower
modulator yields. In addition, non-recurring charges related to the
amortization of backlog acquired in our acquisition of rapid thermal processing
backlog from Intevac, Inc. had a negative impact on gross margin of 1% for the
nine months ended June 30, 2003.

Research and Development

Our research and development expenses consisted primarily of salaries,
related personnel costs, depreciation, prototype materials, patent filing costs
and fees paid to consultants and outside service providers, all of which relate
to the design, development, testing, pre-manufacturing and improvement of our
products. Research and development expenses were approximately $6.3 million and
$3.1 million, or 35% and 21%, of net revenue in the three months ended June 30,
2003 and 2002, respectively, reflecting an increase of approximately $3.2
million. For the nine months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, research and
development expenses were approximately $16.2 million and $7.8 million, or 35%
and 21%, of net revenue, respectively, reflecting an increase of approximately
$8.4 million. The increases in both the three and nine months ended June 30,
2003, as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2002, were primarily
attributable to higher spending on prototype materials and engineering
headcount to support additional funding requirements for our generation 5, 6
and 7 platforms and cell and module product development, and to higher levels
of spending associated with the acquisitions of Akcron and the rapid thermal
processing technology. We expect research and development expenses to remain a
high percentage of revenue as we continue to concurrently develop our
generation 5, 6 and 7 systems.

Selling, General and Administrative

Our selling, general and administrative expenses consisted primarily of
salaries and related expenses for marketing, sales, finance, administration,
human resources personnel, legal and accounting, commissions, insurance and
other corporate expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were
approximately $3.1 million and $2.3 million, or 18% and 16% of net revenue, in
the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. For the nine
months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, selling, general and administrative
expenses were approximately $10.0 million and $6.9 million, or 22% and 19% of
revenue, respectively. The increases in selling, general and administrative
expenses of approximately $852,000 and approximately $3.1 million from the
three and nine month periods ending June 30, 2002, respectively, were primarily
attributed to increases in legal, accounting and directors and officers
insurance expenses, expenses related to corporate governance requirements, and
severance expenses. We have embarked on several selling, general and
administrative expense reduction initiatives with a goal to reduce our selling,
general and administrative expenses in coming quarters.

Acquired In-Process Research and Development

In November 2002, we completed our acquisition of certain assets from
Intevac, Inc. related to Intevacs rapid thermal processing technology used for
activating low temperature poly-silicon during the manufacturing process for
flat panel displays. In May 2003, we acquired substantially all of the assets
of Summit Imaging, Inc. The purchase price of both acquisitions has been
allocated in accordance with FAS 141, Business Combinations, including
in-process research and development charges of approximately $1.8 million and
$625,000, respectively. These charges were expensed on the acquisition date as
they represented ongoing research and development projects that had not yet
reached technological feasibility and had no alternative future uses.

Acquired in-process research and development was identified and valued
through interviews with acquired company executives, analysis of data
concerning developmental products and their stage of development, the time and
resources needed to complete the projects, their expected income generating
ability, target markets and associated risks. The income approach, which
includes an analysis of the markets, cash flows and risks associated with
achieving such cash flows, was the primary technique utilized in valuing
in-process research and development. We discounted back to their present value
projected incremental cash flows using discount rates of 25% and 50% for the
Intevac technology and Summit Imaging asset purchase, respectively, which was
determined after consideration of our weighted average cost of capital and the
weighted average return on assets.

In-process research and development projects related to Intevac included a
new transport system for more efficient handling of larger glass, redesign of
the lamphouse for selective heating of the film and enhancement of low oxygen
technology. As of June 30, 2003, these projects have been substantially
completed.

In-process research and development related to Summit Imaging involves the
design of the next generation cooled cameras for the Companys ArrayChecker
tools. At the time of acquisition, the project was approximately 65% complete,
and is expected to be completed by the end of fiscal 2004.

Risks associated with our acquired in-process research and development
include the inherent difficulties and uncertainties in completing each project
and thereby achieving technological feasibility, anticipated levels of market
acceptance and penetration, market growth rates and risks related to the impact
of potential changes in future target markets. The nature of the efforts
required to develop the acquired in-process research and development into
commercially viable products principally relate to the completion of all
planning, designing, prototyping, verification and testing activities that are
necessary to establish that the products can be produced to meet their design
specifications, including functions, features and technical performance
requirements. As such, the timing of completion and ultimate commercial
application are affected by the successful completion of these activities and
ultimately, market acceptance.

Amortization of Intangibles

The identified intangible assets are being amortized over a two to five
year period, commencing on the date of the acquisitions. We have recorded
related amortization expense of approximately $408,000 and $1.0 million for the
three and nine months ended June 30, 2003, respectively.

Interest Income and Other, Net

Interest income and other, net consisted primarily of interest income,
foreign currency exchange gains and losses, changes in the fair value of
derivative financial instruments and other miscellaneous income and expense.
Interest income and other, net was approximately $952,000 and $902,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively and approximately $2.4
million and $2.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002,
respectively. The increase in both the current quarter and the nine months
ended June 30, 2003 was primarily attributable to increased exchange gains due to currency fluctuations and realized gains on securities.

Discontinued Operations

In January 2003, we implemented a plan to exit the printed circuit board
assembly inspection business. The loss from discontinued operations related to
the disposition of the printed circuit board assembly inspection business for
the nine months ended June 30, 2003 included a write-off of inventory of
approximately $7.8 million, a write-off of accounts receivable of approximately
$1.7 million, a write-off of licensed technology of approximately $1.9 million,
and impairment charges of approximately $15.1 million of goodwill,
approximately $2.9 million of purchased intangibles and approximately $2.5
million of long-lived assets.

In June 2003, we implemented a plan to exit the cathode ray tube display
and high quality glass inspection business. The loss from discontinued
operations related to the disposition of the cathode ray tube display and high
quality inspection business for both the three and nine months ended June 30,
2003, included a write-off of inventory of approximately $2.0 million, a
write-off of accounts receivable of approximately $460,000, and a write-off of
operating leases of approximately $388,000.

Loss from discontinued operations for the three and nine month periods
ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 were as follows:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have financed our operations primarily by a combination of cash flows
from operations and public stock offerings. At June 30, 2003, we had
approximately $116.4 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments. This is a decrease of approximately $53.8 million from $170.1
million at September 30, 2002.

Operating Activities of Discontinued Operations

In January 2003, we implemented a plan to exit the printed circuit board
assembly inspection business and in June 2003, we implemented a plan to exit
the cathode ray tube display and high quality glass inspection business.
Accordingly, the operating results of these business segments have been
reclassified as discontinued operations. Cash used by discontinued operations
during the nine month period ended June 30, 2003 is as follows:

Operating Activities

During the first nine months of fiscal 2003, net cash used in operating
activities from continuing operations was approximately $4.4 million.
Significant components of this use of cash from continuing operations were a
net loss of approximately $12.4 million, offset in part by approximately $5.8
million of non-cash charges such as acquired in-process research and
development, amortization of intangibles, depreciation and stock ownership
expenses. Other components included an increase in accounts receivable of
approximately $2.5 million, a reduction in other current liabilities of
approximately $2.1 million and an increase in deferred revenue of approximately
$5.9 million.

During the first nine months of fiscal 2002, net cash used in operating
activities from continuing operations was approximately $1.9 million. The
primary components of this use of cash from continuing operations were
increases in accounts receivable of approximately $7.2 million and other
current assets of approximately $4.3 million, a decrease in deferred revenue of
approximately $1.3 million, offset in part by an increase in accounts payable
of approximately $2.1 million, and a decrease in inventory of approximately
$1.8 million.

Investing Activities

During the first nine months of fiscal 2003, net cash provided by
investing activities from continuing operations was approximately $22.8
million. Cash provided by investing activities was primarily the result of the
redemption of short-term investments of approximately $465.3 million, offset in
part by the purchase of short-term investments of approximately $419.3 million,
the acquisition of certain assets from Intevac, Inc. for $20.0 million, the
acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Summit Imaging for
approximately $1.6 million and approximately $1.6 million in purchases of
capital equipment.

During the first nine months of fiscal 2002, net cash used in investing
activities from continuing operations was approximately $73.6 million. Cash
used by investing activities was primarily the result of the purchase of
short-term investments of approximately

24

$462.7 million, offset in part by the redemption of short-term investments of
approximately $389.7 million and approximately $645,000 in purchases of capital
equipment.

Financing Activities

During the first nine months of fiscal 2003, cash used by financing
activities from continuing operations was approximately $14.3 million. This was
the result of repurchases of common stock of approximately $17.7 million,
offset in part by employee exercises of stock options of
approximately $3.2 million.

During the first nine months of fiscal 2002, cash provided by financing
activities from continuing operations was approximately $112.0 million. This
was primarily the result $107.0 million from the public sale of common stock,
approximately $4.6 million of employee exercises of stock options, and
approximately $360,000 from the exercise of a warrant to purchase 21,285
shares.

The timing of and amounts received from employee stock option exercises
are determined by the decisions of the respective option holders, and are not
controlled by us. Therefore, funds raised from the issuance of common stock
upon the exercise of employee stock options should not be considered an
indication of additional funds to be raised in future periods.

In August 2002, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program
authorizing us to repurchase up to an aggregate of $25.0 million of our common
stock. The stock repurchase program was terminated on January 15, 2003 and as
of that date we had repurchased 1,253,932 shares for an aggregate of
approximately $24.6 million.

Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes the approximate contractual obligations
that we have at June 30, 2003. Such obligations include both non-cancelable
obligations and other obligations that are generally non-cancelable except
under certain limited conditions.

The table above includes purchase orders that we have recently placed with
Sanmina-SCI Corporation under the terms of our manufacturing outsourcing
agreement with Sanmina-SCI, the terms of which requires us to place orders
covering a minimum period of 90 days.

Working Capital

We believe that existing liquid capital resources and funds generated from
operations combined with the ability, if necessary, to borrow up to $4.0
million under our line of credit, which was recently extended through July
2004, will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital requirements and
obligations for at least the next twelve months. However, this forward-looking
statement is based upon our current plans and assumptions, which may change,
and our capital requirements may increase in future periods. In addition, we
believe that success in our industry requires substantial capital in order to
maintain the flexibility to take advantage of opportunities as they may arise.
We may, from time to time, invest in or acquire complementary businesses,
products or technologies and may seek additional equity or debt financing to
fund such activities. There can be no assurance that such funding will be
available to us on commercially reasonable terms, if at all, and if we were to
proceed with acquisitions without this funding or with limited funding it would
decrease our capital resources. The sale of additional equity or convertible
debt securities could result in dilution to our shareholders.

Impact of Accounting Pronouncements

In
January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 46,
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46), an Interpretation of
Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 Consolidated
Financial Statements. FIN 46 requires certain variable interest entities to be
consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the

25

##### Table of Contents



entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of
a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for
the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial
support from other parties. FIN 46 is effective immediately for all new
variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003. For
variable interest entities created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, the
provisions of FIN 46 must be applied for the first interim or annual period
beginning after June 15, 2003. We believe that the adoption of this standard
will have no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities (FAS 149). This statement amends FAS 133 to provide
clarification on the financial accounting and reporting of derivative
instruments and hedging activities and requires contracts with similar
characteristics to be accounted for on a comparable basis. Management is in
the process of assessing the effect of FAS 149 and does not expect the
adoption of it, which is effective for contracts entered into or modified
after June 30, 2003, to have a material effect on our financial condition or
results of operations.

In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of
both Liabilities and Equity (FAS 150). FAS 150 establishes standards on the
classification and measurement of financial instruments with characteristics
of both liabilities and equity. FAS 150 will become effective for financial
instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003. Management is in the
process of assessing the effect of FAS 150 and does not expect the
implementation of it to have a material effect on our financial
condition or results of operations.

Factors Affecting Operating Results

We have recently sustained losses and we may not be able to return to profitability.

We reported net losses and a decrease in revenue for each of the fiscal
years ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, as well as a net loss for the nine
months ended June 30, 2003. In the future, our revenue may decline, remain flat
or grow at a rate slower than expected, especially in light of the continuing
economic slowdown. Our ability to regain profitability on an annual basis is
dependent in part on our customers recovery from this slowdown and the success
of our efforts to reduce operating expenses as a percentage of revenue through
our ongoing cost-cutting measures, including our recent restructuring and the
discontinuance of our printed circuit board assembly and cathode ray tube and
high quality glass inspection operations. In addition, if we determine that the
goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets of one of the
businesses we acquired have been impaired, then we would need to decrease the
carrying value of these assets, which would decrease our net income, or
increase our net loss, during the period in which we determined that the assets
were impaired. Our operating results are difficult to predict, and there is no
assurance that we will be successful in achieving increased revenue, positive
cash flows or profitability.

Our operating results are difficult to predict and may vary from investors
expectations, which could cause our stock price to drop.

We have experienced and expect to continue to experience significant
fluctuations in our quarterly results. Consequently, past financial results may
not be indicative of future financial results. A substantial percentage of our
revenue is derived from the sale of a small number of yield management systems
ranging in price from $400,000 to $1.85 million. Therefore, the timing of the
sale of a single system could have a significant impact on our quarterly
results. Moreover, customers may cancel or reschedule shipments, and production
difficulties could delay shipments. For example, as we announced in December
2002, we experienced technical delays with respect to the introduction of our
next generation ArrayChecker 3500 system. This delay had a significant impact
on the timing of both our revenue and net income for the second quarter of
fiscal 2003. As a result, our backlog at the beginning of each quarter does not
necessarily determine actual sales for the quarter or any succeeding period.

Other factors which may influence our operating results in a particular
quarter include:



| |  |  | the timing of the receipt of orders from major customers;                                       
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| |  |  | our product mix;                                                                                
|
| |  |  | competitive pricing pressures;                                                                  
|
| |  |  | our ability to obtain components from our single or limited source suppliers in a timely manner;

##### Table of Contents





| |  |  | continued or worsened financial markets or economic instability in Asia or the world in general;                                                      
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| |  |  | any write down in the value of acquired goodwill in the event that we
determine that the goodwill has been impaired;                                  
|
| |  |  | our ability to design, manufacture and introduce new products on a
cost-effective and timely basis;                                                   
|
| |  |  | the delay between expenses to further develop marketing and service
capabilities and the realization of benefits from those improved
capabilities; and
|
| |  |  | the introduction of new products by our competitors.                                                                                                  

If we experience difficulties in any of these areas, our operating results
could be significantly and adversely affected and our stock price could
decline. In addition, it is possible that in some future quarter our operating
results may be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors,
which could cause our stock price to fall.

If our products experience performance, reliability or quality problems, our
customers may reduce their orders.

We believe that future orders of our products will depend in part on our
ability to satisfy the performance, reliability and quality standards required
by our customers. Particularly as customers seek increased yields, greater
throughput and higher quality end products, we must continually redesign our
products to meet the needs of our customers. As with the introduction of any
new product, our customers may experience yield loss. For example, with our
ArrayChecker 3500, certain customers have experienced yield loss higher than
expected. If our products have performance, reliability or quality problems,
then we may experience:



| |  |  | delays in collecting accounts receivable;    
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------
|
| |  |  | reduced orders;                              
|
| |  |  | additional warranty and service expenses; and
|
| |  |  | higher manufacturing costs.                  

If we are unable to meet the requirements of our customers, our revenue
may decrease and our business could be harmed.

In addition, we typically provide a limited warranty on our products for a
period of one year from final acceptance by customers. We may incur substantial
warranty claim expenses on our products and actual warranty claims may exceed
recorded allowances, resulting in harm to our business.

Capital investment by manufacturers of flat panel display products can be
highly cyclical and may decline in the future.

Our business depends in large part on capital expenditures by
manufacturers of flat panel display products, which in turn depends on the
current and anticipated market demand for the end products in that industry.
The market for flat panel display products is highly cyclical and has
experienced periods of oversupply resulting in significantly reduced demand for
capital equipment. For example, the flat panel display industry experienced a
downturn in 1998, which led many flat panel display manufacturers to delay or
cancel capital expenditures. Additionally, in 2001, due to the general
deteriorating economic environment, flat panel display and electronics
manufacturers reduced capital expenditures resulting in a decrease in revenue
for all segments of our business. If the flat panel display and other markets
in which we sell our products do not recover sufficiently or experience further
slowdowns in the future, it could cause our revenue to decrease significantly.
In addition, the need to invest in the engineering, research and development,
and marketing required to penetrate targeted foreign markets and maintain
extensive service and support capabilities limits our ability to reduce
expenses during these downturns.

We depend on sales to a few large customers in the flat panel display industry,
and if we lose any of our large customers our revenue could decrease
significantly.

##### Table of Contents



The flat panel display industry is extremely concentrated with a small
number of manufacturers producing the majority of the worlds flat panel
displays. If one or more of our major customers ceased or significantly
curtailed their purchases, our revenue could drop significantly. We may be
unable to replace sales to these customers. Sales of flat panel display
products to our largest customer represented 56% of our revenue for the nine
months ended June 30, 2003. Our three largest customers collectively accounted
for 90% of our total revenue, and each in excess of 10% of our total revenue,
in the nine months ended June 30, 2003.

We rely upon sales of a limited range of products, and if demand for one
product decreases for any reason it could cause our revenue to decline
significantly.

Substantially all of our revenue comes from a limited range of products
for the flat panel display industry and we expect that these products will
continue to account for substantially all of our revenue, particularly given
our recent exits from the printed circuit board assembly inspection business
and the cathode ray tube display and high quality glass inspection businesses.
Any decline in demand for, or failure to achieve continued market acceptance
of, our primary products or any new version of these products could harm our
business. Continued market acceptance of our array test and array repair
products is critical to our success.

We may not be able to develop and introduce new products that respond to
evolving industry requirements in a timely manner, which could reduce our
ability to compete effectively.

The markets for our products are characterized by rapidly changing
technologies and frequent new product introductions. The failure to develop new
products and introduce them successfully and in a timely manner could harm our
competitive position and results of operations. We believe that our future
success will depend in part upon our ability to continue to enhance our
existing products and to develop and manufacture new products. For example, the
size of glass plates for flat panel displays and the resolution of flat panel
displays have changed frequently and may continue to change, requiring us to
redesign or reconfigure our flat panel display products.

We expect to continue to incur significant research and development costs.
There can be no assurance that we will be successful in the introduction,
marketing and cost effective manufacture of any of our new products, that we
will be able to timely develop and introduce new products and enhance our
existing products and processes to satisfy customer needs or achieve market
acceptance, or that the new markets for which we are developing new products or
expect to sell current products will develop sufficiently. For example, we
recently experienced technical delays relating to the introduction of our next
generation ArrayChecker 3500 system causing us to reschedule several shipments
from the first quarter to the second quarter of fiscal 2003. We depend on close
relationships with our customers and the willingness of those customers to
share information with us, and the failure to maintain these relationships
could harm our development efforts.

If we are not able to obtain critical components from our single or limited
source suppliers, we may experience significant delays in producing our
products, which could decrease our revenue for an extended period of time.

We obtain some equipment for our systems from a single source or a limited
group of suppliers. For example, we currently obtain materials handling
platforms and high-speed image processing systems from single source suppliers.
Although we seek to reduce dependence on our sole and limited source suppliers,
alternative sources of supply for this equipment may not be available or may be
available on unfavorable terms. The partial or complete loss of our sole and
limited source suppliers could at least temporarily delay our shipments or
otherwise harm our results of operations and damage customer relationships.
Further, a significant increase in the price of one or more of these pieces of
equipment could harm our results of operations.

All of our revenue is derived from sales to companies located outside the
United States, which exposes us to risks that we would not experience with
domestic sales.

We expect sales to foreign countries to continue to represent 100% of our
revenue. A number of factors may adversely affect our international sales and
operations, including:

| |  |  | trade restrictions;

|
| |  |  | difficulties in staffing and managing international operations.                                                             

If any of these factors occur, our operating results and revenues could be
materially and adversely affected.

The
outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, may impact
our operations or adversely affect our customers and therefore harm
our business.

The
outbreak of SARS has recently had, and may continue to have in the
future, a significant impact on a number of countries, particularly
in Asia, in which we sell our products. Risks related to the outbreak
of SARS include but are not limited to temporary closure of operating
facilities in affected locations, travel restrictions and delays,
difficulties generating new business opportunities and increased
political and social tension. Especially if any of our employees, or
any of the employees of our customers, become infected with SARS, we
may experience reduced sales and increased costs and our operating
results may be harmed.

We may have difficulty integrating the businesses we recently acquired or other
businesses or assets we may acquire in the future, and we may not realize the
benefits that we expect from these acquisitions.

We have recently consummated several acquisitions, including acquisitions
of Intelligent Reasoning Systems, Inc. in July 2001, Akcron Corporation, LTD in
September 2002, certain assets from ART Advanced Research Technologies Inc. in
July 2002, Intevac, Inc. in November 2002, and substantially all of the assets
of Summit Imaging, Inc., in May 2003. We may acquire other assets or companies
in the future. Integrating businesses can be a complex, time-consuming and
expensive process. If we are not able to do so effectively, we will not be able
to realize the benefits that we expect to receive from our past and future
acquisitions. For each acquisition, we must integrate separate technologies,
product lines, business cultures and practices, employees and systems.
Acquisitions are subject to numerous risks, including:



| |  |  | difficulties in the assimilation of the technologies and products of the acquired company;   
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| |  |  | entering markets in which we have no or limited direct prior experience;                     
|
| |  |  | loss of key customers of the acquired company;                                               
|
| |  |  | diversion of management resources from the business of the combined company;                 
|
| |  |  | incompatibility of business cultures or practices;                                           
|
| |  |  | loss of key employees of the acquired company;                                               
|
| |  |  | costs and delays in implementing common systems and procedures;                              
|
| |  |  | potential inefficiencies in delivering services to the customers of the combined company; and
|
| |  |  | assumption of unknown or undisclosed liabilities.                                            

Any of these difficulties could increase our operating costs and harm our
financial performance. In addition, we may also elect to change our strategic
direction and may no longer have need for certain acquired businesses or
technologies. For example, we recently exited the printed circuit board
assembly inspection business. As a result, some or all of the technologies
acquired in connection with certain of our prior acquisitions, including ART
Advanced Research Technologies Inc. and Intelligent Reasoning Systems, Inc.
have been abandoned. Future acquisitions may also result in potentially
dilutive issuances of equity securities, incurrence of debt and contingent
liabilities and amortization expenses related to acquired intangible assets,
which could harm our profitability.

Any failure of, or other problems at or with, Sanmina-SCI Corporation or other
third party manufacturers could delay shipments of our flat panel display
products, harm our relationships with our customers or otherwise negatively
impact our business.

If Sanmina-SCI Corporation or any other third party that we use to
manufacture our products is unable to satisfy our quality requirements or
provide us with the products and services in a timely manner, our shipments of
these products may be delayed, our customer relationships may be harmed and our
results of operations may be adversely impacted. There can be no assurance that
our relationship with Sanmina-SCI or any other third party that we use to
manufacture our products will result in a reduction of our expenses or enable
us to satisfy our customers quality requirements or to deliver our products to
our customers in a timely manner.

If we do not compete effectively in our target markets, we will lose market
share.

The markets for yield management systems in the flat panel display
industry are highly competitive. We face substantial competition from
established competitors that have greater financial, engineering and
manufacturing resources than us and have larger service organizations and
long-standing customer relationships. Our competitors can be expected to
continue to improve the design and performance of their products and to
introduce new products with competitive price and performance characteristics.
Competitive pressures may force price reductions that could harm our results of
operations. Our customers may also develop technology and equipment that may
reduce or eliminate their need to purchase our products. Although we believe we
have certain technological and other advantages over our competitors,
maintaining and capitalizing on these advantages will require us to continue a
high level of investment in engineering, research and development, marketing
and customer service support. There can be no assurance that we will have
sufficient resources to continue to make these investments or that we will be
able to make the technological advances necessary to maintain our competitive
advantages.

IHI has determined to exit the market as a value-added reseller of flat panel
display products in Japan. We have previously relied on our relationship with
IHI to sell our flat panel display products in Japan, and if we are not able to
continue to access this important market, our business will be harmed.

We believe that Japanese companies competing with us in sales to the flat
panel display industry have a competitive advantage in Japan because of the
preference of some local customers for local equipment suppliers. Foreign
companies frequently have found it difficult to penetrate the Japanese market
and often depend upon local sales channels to sell their products in Japan.

Historically, IHI has been a significant value-added reseller with respect
to sales of our flat panel display products in Japan. In the nine months ended
June 30, 2003, fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2001, 2%, 8% and 13% of our total revenue
came from sales to IHI, respectively. We are currently in discussions with IHI
regarding our on-going relationship with IHI and expect that IHI will cease to
sell and support our flat panel display products in Japan in the future. If we
are unable to negotiate a favorable termination of this relationship with IHI,
and to support existing customers or develop new customers in Japan without
IHI, our business will be harmed.

IHIs rights to serve as our exclusive value-added reseller in Japan are
currently unresolved. IHI may have the right to market some or all of our
products in Japan on an exclusive basis, even exclusive as to us. Consequently,
if we are unable to negotiate a favorable termination of this relationship with
IHI, we may not be able to compete effectively in Japan. Although IHI must
purchase certain critical components from us, IHI may manufacture competing
array test systems based on our technology. If this occurs, our business could
be harmed. We also have granted IHI the non-exclusive right to manufacture and
sell array test systems based on our technology, excluding technology
incorporated into some critical components, in Korea, Taiwan and several other
countries. Although IHI has neither manufactured these products, nor sold these
products in countries other than Japan, our business could be harmed if IHI
manufactures and sells array test systems in competition with our own in these
countries.

Our success depends in large part on the strength of the active matrix liquid
crystal display in the flat panel display industry.

While our technology is applicable to other flat panel display
technologies, our experience has been focused on applications for active matrix
liquid crystal displays, the most prevalent and one of the highest performance
flat panel displays available today. In the nine months ended June 30, 2003, we
derived 100% of our revenue from sales of flat panel display products,
substantially all of which were based on the active matrix liquid crystal
display technology. An industry shift away from active matrix liquid crystal
display technology to existing or new competing technologies could
reduce the demand for our existing products and require significant
expenditures to develop new products, each of which could harm our business.

Our business could be harmed if we fail to properly protect our intellectual
property.

30



---



##### Table of Contents



Our success depends largely on our ability to protect our intellectual
property. While we attempt to protect our intellectual property through
patents, copyrights and trade secrets in the United States and other countries,
there can be no assurance that we will successfully protect our technology or
that competitors will not be able to develop similar technology independently.
We cannot assure you that the claims allowed on any patents held by us will be
sufficiently broad to protect our technology against competition from third
parties with similar technologies or products. In addition, we cannot assure
you that any patents issued to us will not be challenged, invalidated or
circumvented or that the rights granted thereunder will provide competitive
advantages to us. Moreover, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect
intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United
States and we could experience various obstacles and high costs in protecting
our intellectual property rights in foreign countries. If we are unable to
obtain or maintain these protections, we may not be able to prevent third
parties from using our intellectual property.

We also rely on trade secrets, proprietary know-how and continuing
technological innovation to remain competitive. We have taken measures to
protect our trade secrets and know-how, including the use of confidentiality
agreements with our employees. It is possible that these agreements may be
breached and that the available remedies for any breach will not be sufficient
to compensate us for damages incurred.

Litigation may be necessary to enforce or defend against claims of intellectual
property infringement, which could be expensive and, if we lose, could prevent
us from selling our products.

Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our patents and other
intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets or to determine the
validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Any litigation,
regardless of the outcome, could be costly and require significant time and
attention of key members of our management and technical personnel.

Our domestic and international competitors, many of which have
substantially greater resources and have made substantial investments in
competing technologies, may have patents that will prevent, limit or interfere
with our ability to manufacture and sell our products. We have not conducted an
independent review of patents issued to third parties. Third parties may assert
infringement claims, successful or otherwise, against us, and litigation may be
necessary to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity. An adverse
outcome in the defense of a patent suit could subject us to significant
liabilities to third parties, require disputed rights to be licensed from third
parties or require us to cease selling our products. Even successful defenses
of patent suits can be costly and time-consuming.

We must attract and retain key employees and our management team and employees
must work effectively together to maintain and grow our business.

Our future success depends in part on our ability to retain key personnel,
particularly senior management and engineers. We also need to attract
additional skilled personnel in significant areas of our business to grow.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to retain our existing personnel
or attract additional qualified employees in the future. We generally do not
have employment contracts with our employees and do not maintain key person
life insurance on any of our employees.

In addition, our management team recently has experienced significant
personnel changes. Elwood H. Spedden recently became our President and Chief
Executive Officer when Vincent Sollitto resigned. Jeffrey A. Hawthorne,
previously Vice President of Development, recently became Chief Operating
Officer and Richard Okumoto recently became our Chief Financial Officer and
Secretary when Richard Dissly resigned. In addition, Jon Hopper, former Senior
Vice President of our sales and support organization and Bernard T. Clark,
former President of the flat panel display business recently resigned. If our
management team experiences high attrition or does not work effectively
together, it could seriously harm our business.

Earthquakes may damage our facilities.

Our corporate and manufacturing facilities in California are located near
major earthquake faults which have experienced earthquakes in the past. In
addition, some of our customers in Asia are located near fault lines. In the
event of a major earthquake or other disaster in or near the San Francisco Bay
Area, our facilities may sustain significant damage and our operations could be
harmed. Similarly, a major earthquake in Asia, like the one that occurred in
Taiwan in September 1999, could disrupt our operations or the operations of our
customers, which could reduce demand for our products.

Our stock price may fluctuate significantly.

31



---



##### Table of Contents



The market price of our common stock could fluctuate significantly in
response to variations in quarterly operating results and other factors, such
as:



| |  |  | announcements of technological innovations or new products by us or by our competitors;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| |  |  | government regulations;                                                                
|
| |  |  | developments in patent or other property rights; and                                   
|
| |  |  | developments in our relationships with our customers.                                  

In addition, the stock market has in recent years experienced significant
price fluctuations. These fluctuations often have been unrelated to the
operating performance of the specific companies whose stock is traded. Broad
market fluctuations, general economic condition and specific conditions in the
flat panel display and cathode ray tube display and high quality glass
industries may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Some anti-takeover provisions may affect the price of our common stock.

Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation authorize our board of
directors to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The board also
has the authority to determine the price, rights, preferences and privileges,
including voting rights, of those shares without any further vote or action by
the shareholders. The rights of our shareholders will be subject to, and may be
impaired by, the rights of the holders of any preferred stock that may be
issued in the future. These and other provisions contained in our charter
documents and applicable provisions of California law could serve to depress
our stock price or discourage a hostile bid in which shareholders could receive
a premium for their shares. In addition, these provisions could make it more
difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of our outstanding voting
stock or otherwise effect a change in control of us.

We do not anticipate paying cash dividends.

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock and
do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We have also
agreed not to pay cash dividends under our current bank line of credit.
Instead, we intend to apply any earnings to the expansion and development of
our business.




ITEM 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We are exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates primarily
related to the operating results of our foreign affiliates. Actual changes in
foreign exchange rates could adversely affect our operating results or
financial condition. The potential impact depends upon the magnitude of the
rate change. We believe our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange
rates for our cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable is immaterial as
substantially all of our cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable are
denominated in U.S. dollars.

We purchased forward exchange contracts in the third quarter of fiscal
2003 to hedge certain anticipated foreign currency denominated transactions
expected to occur during the next year. Gains and losses on these contracts are
being recognized in income at June 30, 2003. Because the effect of movements
in currency exchange rates on forward exchange and currency option contracts
generally offsets the related effect on the underlying items being hedged,
these financial instruments are not expected to subject us to risks that would
otherwise result from changes in currency exchange rates. Net foreign currency
gains and losses were not material for the three or nine months ended June 30,
2003.

Market Risk

The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve
principal while maximizing the income we receive from our investments without
significantly increasing risk. Some of the securities that we may invest in
may be subject to market risk. To minimize this risk, we maintain our
portfolio of cash equivalents and short-term investments in a variety of
securities, including commercial paper, money market funds, government and
non-government debt securities and certificates of deposit.

32



---



##### Table of Contents



Our exposure to market risk relates primarily to interest rate
fluctuations in connection with our cash and cash equivalents and short-term
investment portfolios. We enter into financial instruments for non-trading
purposes and do not have derivative financial instruments in our portfolio.




ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Subject to limitations
described below, our management, with the participation of our chief executive
officer and chief financial officer has concluded that our disclosure controls
and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e)) were effective as of June 30, 2003.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There was no change
in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June
30, 2003 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial
officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will
necessarily prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how
well conceived and operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute,
assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Any control system
will reflect inevitable limitations, such as resource constraints, a
cost-benefit analysis based on the level of benefit of additional controls
relative to their costs, assumptions about the likelihood of future events and
human error. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost effective control
system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.
Accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide
reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of our disclosure
control system are met and, as set forth above, our principal executive officer
and principal financial officer have concluded, based on their evaluation as of
June 30, 2003, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to
provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of our disclosure controls and
procedures were met.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION




ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

We filed a lawsuit captioned Photon Dynamics, Inc. vs. PanelVision
Technology and Guillermo Toro-Lira, No. CO202563PJH filed on May 28, 2002, in
the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, County of
Santa Clara. We are alleging infringement of a U.S. Patent owned by us and
seeking full compensatory damages and an injunction against the defendants. On
July 17, 2002, the defendants answered our complaint and asserted a
counterclaim alleging damages of at least $6.0 million in compensatory damages
for loss of business. We believe that the counterclaims are without merit and
intend to vigorously contest the counterclaims. On January 23, 2003, we added
Shimadzu Corporation as an additional defendant. On April 23, 2003, the
defendants added additional counterclaims against us alleging violations of the
antitrust laws and requesting the damages sought to be trebled. Subsequently,
the court bifurcated the antitrust claims of Toro-Lira and Shimadzu Corporation
against us, thus deferring any consideration of these claims until the
conclusion of the patent infringement issues. An adverse determination in this
litigation may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition
or results of operations.

We have been named as defendant in a lawsuit captioned Thomason v. Photon
Dynamics, Inc., No. 02CC03568, filed on February 28, 2002 in the Superior Court
of the State of California, County of Orange. The plaintiff in this action has
purported to assert that he was wrongly not allowed to exercise certain stock
options and is seeking damages of approximately $900,000. On March 29, 2002, we
responded to the lawsuit and filed a counterclaim against the plaintiff for
breach of a general release agreement. On December 19, 2002, we filed a motion
for summary judgment. While we intend to vigorously contest the action, we
cannot predict the outcome of this litigation. We believe that an adverse
determination in this litigation would not have a material adverse effect on
our financial condition or results of operations.

We and certain of our directors and officers have been named as defendants
in a lawsuit captioned Amtower v. Photon Dynamics, Inc., No. CV797876, filed on
April 30, 2001 in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of
Santa Clara. The plaintiff, who previously served as one of our officers, has
asserted several causes of action arising out of alleged misrepresentations
made to plaintiff regarding the existence and enforcement of our insider
trading policy. The plaintiff is seeking damages of approximately $17.7 million
for our alleged refusal to allow plaintiff to sell shares of our stock in May
of 2000, plus unspecified emotional distress and punitive damages. On December
6, 2001, the court granted our motion to dismiss the complaint for failure to
allege facts sufficient to state a cause of action, with leave to file an
amended complaint. On January 17, 2002, plaintiff filed his amended complaint
and we again moved to dismiss the action. On June 27, 2002, the court issued an
order granting in part and denying in part the motion, and further granted
plaintiff an opportunity to restate certain claims. On October 1, 2002,
plaintiff filed his Second Amended Complaint, which was heard on April 8, 2003
and we again moved to dismiss the action. On April 21, 2003, the court granted
in part and denied in part our motion. The pleadings have been finalized, and
certain claims against us and the individual defendants will proceed. We
believe plaintiffs case is without merit and intend to defend this action
vigorously. Although we cannot predict the outcome of this litigation, we
believe that any adverse judgment in this litigation would not have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.




ITEM 2.Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds

None.




ITEM3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

None.




ITEM4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

None.




ITEM5. Other Information

In May 2003, Richard Okumoto was appointed our Chief Financial Officer and
Secretary, replacing Richard Dissly, who resigned to pursue other interests.
Also in May 2003, Scott Brouse was named our new Vice President of Customer
Support and Andrew M. Hawryluk, Ph.D. was named our new Vice President of
Engineering.
