         Notes to Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                 (all amounts in thousands except share amounts)
                                   (unaudited)



Note A - Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements reflect the
acquisition of certain assets of Micron Technology, Inc. ("Micron") relating to
field emission displays including equipment and other tangible assets, certain
contract rights and cash (the "Micron Transaction"). The Micron Transaction was
closed on May 19, 1999 between the Company and Micron.

These unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements were derived from
PixTech's audited and unaudited financial statements for the year ended December
31, 1998 and for the three-month period ended March 31, 1999, respectively. The
unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year
ended December 31, 1998 and for the three-month period ended March 31, 1999 give
effect to the Micron Transaction as if it had occurred at the beginning of the
period. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheets as of
March 31, 1999 has been prepared as if the Micron Transaction had occurred on
March 31, 1999.

The pro forma adjustments for the Micron Transaction are based upon estimates,
available information and certain assumptions that the management of PixTech
deems appropriate. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial
information does not purpose to represent the results of operations or the
financial position of PixTech that actually would have resulted had the Micron
Transaction occurred as of the dates indicated, nor should it be taken as
indicative of the future results of operations or future financial position of
PixTech (See "Note B - Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets" and
"Note C - Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations").

It is suggested that these pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements
be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes
thereto for the year ended December 31, 1998, included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.



Note B - Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets

The pro forma consolidated balance sheets reflect the acquisition of Micron's
assets and the assumption of certain liabilities, as of May 20, as if such
acquisition had occurred on March 31, 1999.

(i) Net Assets Acquired
The estimated fair value of net assets acquired in the Micron Transaction is
approximately $9,157 in excess of the cost of net assets acquired. The estimated
fair value of property, plant and equipment of $22,473 has been proportionally
reduced to the extent that the fair value of net assets acquired exceeded cost
resulting in property plant and equipment of $13,316.

(ii)  Stockholders' equity
In consideration of the Micron Transaction, the Company issued 7,133,562 shares
of the Company's Common Stock, representing a total amount of $14,717, and a
warrant to purchase 310,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise
price of approximately $2.25 per share. The fair value of the 310,000 warrants
was computed using the Black-Scholes model and was estimated at $257.

Note C - Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations - Pro Forma
     Adjustments

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the
year ended December 31, 1998 and for the three months ended March 31, 1999
reflect the Company's best estimate of the additional ongoing expenses
associated with the acquisition of assets, as if such acquisition had occurred
at the beginning of the periods presented.

These estimated expenses primarily relate to additional research and development
personnel costs in the amount of $2,797 and $741, and additional depreciation
expense of the acquired assets of $3,342 and $941, respectively for the year
ended December 31, 1998 and for the three months ended March 31, 1999. These
estimated expenses also relate to additional marketing and sales and
administrative and general personnel costs totaling $539 and $101, respectively
for the year ended December 31, 1998 and for the three months ended March 31,
1999.

The Company believes that these unaudited pro forma condensed statements of
operations may not be indicative of the results that would have occurred if the
transaction had been completed at the beginning of the periods indicated and
that they may not be indicative of the future results. Future results depend on
a variety of factors, including the rate of growth of the Company's research and
development expenses and the rate of growth of the costs related to the transfer
and adaptation of the Company's manufacturing process to its Taiwanese partner,
Unipac.
