# NOTES TO THE INTERIM
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSCYBEROPTICS CORPORATION
(In thousands, except share and per share amounts)

1.  INTERIM REPORTING:

The interim consolidated financial
statements presented herein as of March 31, 2005, and for the three month periods ended
March 31, 2005 and 2004, are unaudited, but in the opinion of our management, include all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair
presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods
presented.

The results of operations for the
three month period ended March 31, 2005, do not necessarily indicate the results to be
expected for the full year. The December 31, 2004, consolidated balance sheet data was
derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. These unaudited interim
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2004.

2.  ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED
COMPENSATION:

In December 2002, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 148 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation -
Transition and Disclosure - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123".  We have adopted the
disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 148 in these notes to the consolidated financial
statements.

As permitted by SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock Based Compensation", we continue to measure compensation cost for
our stock incentive and option plans using the intrinsic value method of accounting
prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25.  Had we used the fair value method of accounting for
our stock option and incentive plans and charged compensation costs against income over
the vesting period, net income and net income per share for the three month periods ended
March 31, 2005 and 2004 would have been reduced to the following pro forma amounts:

|                                                        | Three Months Ended

|                                                       
|As reported - Diluted                                   |                             
|Pro forma - Diluted                                     |                             

No tax benefit provision was applied
to the fair value expense calculated under SFAS No. 123 due to establishing a valuation
allowance on deferred tax assets during 2002. The assumptions used to calculate the fair
value of options granted are evaluated and revised, as necessary, to reflect market
conditions and our experience.

We provide for the estimated cost of
product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. While we engage in extensive product
quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality
of component suppliers, warranty obligations are affected by product failure rates,
material usage and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure. Should
actual product failure rates, material usage or service delivery costs differ from our
estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required. At the end of
each reporting period we revise our estimated warranty liability based on these factors. A
reconciliation of the changes in our estimated warranty liability is as follows:

As required by SFAS 142, we
periodically reassess the carrying value, useful lives and classification of identifiable
intangible assets. Estimated aggregate amortization expense based on current intangibles
for the next five years is expected to be as follows: $1.0 million in 2005, $0.7 million
in 2006, $0.2 million in 2007 and, $0.2 million in 2008 and 2009.

At March 31, 2005 and December 31,
2004 we had net goodwill of $6.0 million and $6.1 million, respectively. Goodwill
decreased by $67,000 during the first three months of 2005 as the result of the
translation impact on foreign denominated goodwill balances and by $30,000 from the
utilization of pre-acquisition deferred tax assets of CyberOptics UK, Ltd.

NET INCOME PER SHARE:

Basic net income per share has been
computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period
presented. The diluted net income per share includes the effect of common stock
equivalents, consisting of common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options, for each
period. The number of shares utilized in the denominator of the diluted net income per
share computation has been increased from the number of shares used in computing basic net
income per share by 148,000 and 371,000 equivalent shares for the three month periods
ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Weighted average shares for which the option
price exceeded the average market price were 321,000 and 336,000 for the three month
periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

7.    
          COMPREHENSIVE INCOME:

Components of comprehensive income
include unrealized gains and losses on our available-for-sale marketable securities and
the cumulative affect of foreign currency translation adjustments. During the three month
periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, total comprehensive income amounted to $1,061,000
and $2,638,000, respectively. At December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2005, components of
accumulated other comprehensive loss are as follows:

8.    
          INCOME TAXES:

During the third quarter of 2002 we
concluded that a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets was appropriate
due to the cumulative U.S. losses we had incurred over the prior three years, continued
operating losses and full utilization of our loss carryback potential in 2002. A deferred
tax asset generally represents future tax benefit to be received when certain expenses and
losses previously recognized in our U.S. GAAP-based financial statements become deductible
under applicable income tax laws. Consequently, realization of a deferred tax asset is
dependent on future taxable income against which these deductions can be applied. Since
the third quarter of fiscal 2002, we have continued to provide a full valuation allowance
against future tax benefits produced by our U.S. based operating results. We will continue
to assess carrying or eliminating the full valuation allowance on U.S. based deferred tax
assets on a quarterly basis during 2005. Release of the full valuation allowance would
result in the recognition of a significant deferred tax benefit.

During the three month period ended
March 31, 2004 U.S. based operating results were not taxed due to the valuation allowance
on deferred tax assets, and tax expense of $25,000 recorded in the first quarter of 2004
related to income generated by foreign subsidiaries. During the three month period ended
March 31, 2005 we recorded a tax provision at an estimated annual effective rate of 24%
because we have now utilized tax operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and have
begun to again pay income taxes. Because we continue to maintain a valuation allowance on
deferred tax assets, estimated 2005 income tax requirements are reflected in our annual
expected tax rate.

9.    
          DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES:

We enter into foreign currency swap
agreements to hedge short term inter-company financing transactions with our subsidiary in
the United Kingdom. These currency swap agreements are structured to mature on the last
day of each quarter and are designated as cash flow hedges. At March 31, 2005, we had one
open swap agreement that was purchased on that date. As a result, there were no material
unrealized gains or losses as of March 31, 2005. During the three months ended March 31,
2005 we recognized a net gain of approximately $24,000 from the settlement of foreign
currency swap agreements which offset the approximately $74,000 translation loss on the
underlying inter-company balance.

Our foreign currency swap agreements
contain credit risk to the extent that our bank counter-parties may be unable to meet the
terms of the agreements. We minimize such risk by limiting our counter-parties to major
financial institutions. We do not expect material losses as a result of defaults by other
parties.

10.    
          RESTRUCTURING AND SEVERANCE:

During 2003 and 2004 we implemented a
series of workforce reductions, closed our facilities in California, downsized other
facilities and made other reductions in discretionary spending designed to reduce our
overall fixed cost structure. The following table reports the activity and ending balance
related to accruals established for these restructuring actions.

          RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS:

In December 2004, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment,
which is a revision of SFAS No. 123 and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25. SFAS No. 123(R)
requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock
options, to be valued at fair value on the date of grant, and to be expensed over the
applicable vesting period. Originally, SFAS No. 123(R) was effective for all stock-based
awards granted beginning with the first interim period after June 15, 2005. On April 14,
2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved a new rule that changed the
effective date of SFAS No. 123(R) for public companies to annual, rather than interim,
periods that begin after June 15, 2005. The standard may be adopted under either the
modified prospective method or alternative methods, which allow for restatement of prior
interim periods or prior years. We are currently evaluating how we will adopt the standard
and the impact of adopting SFAS No. 123(R) on our financial position and results of
operations.

In November 2004, The FASB issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 151 (SFAS 151), Inventory Cost
 and amendment of ARB No. 43. SFAS No. 151 requires idle facility expenses,
freight, handling costs, and wasted material spoilage costs to be recognized as
current-period charges. It also requires that allocations of fixed production overheads to
the costs of conversion be based on normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS No.
151 will be effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 2005. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting the standard on our
financial position and results of operations.

# ITEM 2 
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

# CAUTIONARY STATEMENT
REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS:

The following managements
discussion and analysis describes factors that have affected our results and financial
position during the periods included in the accompanying financial statements or that
could have an impact on future results. You should read this section with our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 and our interim consolidated
financial statements and associated notes.

We make forward looking
statements in this section that represent our expectations or beliefs about future
events, including statements regarding trends in the industries in which we function,
levels of orders, research and development expenses, taxation levels, the sufficiency of
cash to meet operating and capital expenses and our ability to continue to price foreign
transactions in U.S. currency. Our actual results may vary from these expectations because
of a number of factors that affect our business, the most important of which include the
following:

- We operate in the electronics capital equipment market which is cyclical in nature. We are
unable to accurately predict the timing of periodic downturns in this market. These
downturns, as evidenced by the extreme downturn in electronics production markets from
2001 through 2003, severely and adversely affected the profitability of our operations. We
may be unable to anticipate changes in these markets before they affect our operations in
the future.
- Our operations and markets could be negatively affected by world events that effect
economies and commerce in countries, such as China and Japan, in which we do business.
- We remain dependent on two original equipment manufacturer customers for a large portion
of our revenue (approximately 45% of revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2005 and
50% of revenues in fiscal 2004). If these customers are unsuccessful selling the products
into which our sensors are incorporated, design their products to function without our
sensors, purchase sensors from other suppliers, or otherwise terminate their relationships
with us, our results of operations would be significantly negatively affected.
- During 2004, approximately 26% of our total revenue (28% in the three months ended March
31, 2005) was generated by sales of a single SMT Systems product line, the SE 300. If
we are not successful in continuing to sell and differentiate this product line relative
to our competition, our results of operations would be negatively affected.
- We generate more than half of our revenue (approximately 75% in the three months ended
March 31, 2005 and approximately 81% in 2004) from export sales. Our export sales are
subject to many of the risks of international operations, including changes in economic
and business climate in foreign countries that affect the business health of our
customers, changes in exchange rates that affect the willingness of customers to purchase
our products, different laws that may affect our ability to protect our intellectual
property, and the expense of long-distance commerce.
- All of our international export sales are negotiated, invoiced and paid in U.S. dollars,
and accordingly, currency fluctuations do not significantly affect our revenue and income
per unit. However, significant fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to
other currencies could have an impact on the price competitiveness of our products
relative to foreign suppliers, which could impact the willingness of customers to purchase
our products and have an impact on our results of operations.
- Our current products, as well as the products we have under development, are designed to
operate with the technology we believe currently exists or may exist for electronic
components and printed circuit boards. The technology for these components changes rapidly
and if we incorrectly anticipate technology developments, or have inadequate resources to
develop our products to deal with changes in technology, our products could become
obsolete.
- Our electronic assembly sensor products compete with products made by larger machine
vision companies, other optical sensor companies, and by solutions internally developed by
our customers.
- The electronics capital equipment market for surface mount technologies is becoming more
mature, resulting in increased price pressure on suppliers of equipment. Consequently, our
electronic assembly system and sensor products have become subject to increased levels of
price competition and competition from other suppliers and technologies.
- We use a different distribution network to sell our end-user systems products, such as the
SE 300, and generate lower margins from these products, than the distribution system and
margins from our electronic assembly sensor and semiconductor products.
 To the extent our end-user systems constitute a larger portion of our business, our profitability
 may be affected.

---

- We compete with large multinational systems companies in sales of end-user systems
products, many of which are able to take advantage of greater financial resources and
larger sales distribution networks. We also compete with new Asian based suppliers of
end-user systems products, many of which have lower overall production costs and are
willing to offer their products at lower selling prices to customers.
- We compete in large part based on the technology we have developed and our success will
depend in part on how successful we are in protecting that technology and enforcing our
technology rights in the United States and other countries.
- We use outside contractors to manufacture the components used in many of our products and
some of the components we order require significant lead times that could effect our
ability to sell our products if not available. In addition, if these components do not
meet stringent quality requirements or become subject to obsolescence, there could be
delays in product availability, and we could be required to make significant investments
in designing replacement components.
- New regulations have been enacted in various countries requiring the reduction of
hazardous substances in electronics products and capital equipment in future years. When
effective, these regulations will impact production processes of our customers and require
us to incorporate lead-free components into our products. If the production processes or
our customers are interrupted, or we are not able to complete the transition to lead-free
components in our products by the effective date of these regulations, our results of
operations could be negatively affected.
- We plan to continue to introduce a number of new products during fiscal 2005 and if those
introductions are delayed, our revenue and profitability could be negatively affected. For
example, we have devoted and continue to devote significant resources to complete
development and commence sale of our embedded process verification (EPV) products. The
introduction of these products has been delayed because of economic conditions affecting
our customers, required adaptations for OEM requirements and other issues and these
products have yet to generate substantial commercial sales.
- Our ability to capture, process and report transactions in a timely and accurate manner in
compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States is dependant
upon the operation of our internal controls over financial reporting. Although we believe
our controls, policies, practices and systems are adequate to ensure the integrity of our
financial reporting, unanticipated and unauthorized actions of employees (both domestic
and internationally), temporary lapses in internal controls due to shortfalls in
transition planning and oversight, or resource constraints could lead to improprieties and
undetected errors that could impact our financial condition or results of operations.

# CRITICAL ACCOUNTING
POLICIES AND ESTIMATES:

The preparation of the financial
information contained in this 10-Q requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect
the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis,
including those related to allowances for doubtful accounts, for warranty expense, and for
obsolete inventory, the carrying value and any impairment of intangible assets, and the
valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. These critical accounting policies are
discussed in more detail in the Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2004.

# RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

# General

Our results of operations in the
quarter ended March 31, 2005 reflect the relatively weak global market conditions for
electronics and semiconductor capital equipment that began during the third and fourth
quarters of 2004. Overall, our revenues decreased 11% in the quarter ended March 31, 2005
compared to the same quarter in 2004, but were up 1% from the quarter ended December 31,
2004. Our earnings decreased to $1.1 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2005 from $2.7
million during the comparable quarter in 2004, but increased from $794,000 in the quarter
ended December 31, 2004. Our earnings continue to benefit from the streamlined cost
structure established through several workforce reductions and restructuring over the past
few years, which has resulted in a significantly reduced revenue break-even level. In
addition, we generated $1.4 million of cash and marketable securities during the quarter
ended March 31, 2005.

While our order rate remained
relatively flat in the first quarter of 2005 compared to the fourth quarter of 2004, we
expect revenues for the second quarter of 2005 to be substantially lower than revenues
recorded in the first quarter of 2005. Revenues in the second quarter are anticipated to
be negatively impacted by lower solder paste inspection system sales that are dependant on
release of the new SE 300 Ultra product. This new product has been well-received by
customers, but due to the scheduled introduction date being late in the second quarter,
the majority of this anticipated revenue is not expected to be recognized until the third
quarter of 2005. Second quarter 2005 revenue will also be negatively impacted by an order
slowdown from one of our significant OEM sensor customers due primarily to an inventory
build-up during the market slowdown late in 2004.

# Revenues

revenues by product line for the periods indicated (in thousands):

|                            |  |                            

Our revenues from EAS products decreased
25% during the three months ended March 31, 2005 from the three months ended March 31,
2004 and decreased 2% from the quarter ended December 31, 2004. These decreased revenues
reflect reduced order rates from our two largest EAS customers. During the three month
period ended March 31, 2005, revenues from EAS products, primarily LaserAlign sensors,
were negatively impacted by soft market conditions in the worldwide market for SMT capital
equipment and increased levels of sensor inventory built-up at our customers during the
market slowdown in late 2004. Our two largest EAS customers accounted for approximately
45% of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2005, and approximately 50% of
revenues for the comparable period in 2004.

Our revenues from sales of
semiconductor product decreased 27% during the three months ended March 31, 2005 from the
three months ended March 31, 2004, but increased 4% from the quarter ended December 31,
2004. Decreased revenue during the first quarter of 2005 compared to the same period in
2004 is primarily due to weakened market conditions in the semiconductor capital equipment
market, which began in late 2004. This trend is consistent with the overall electronics
capital equipment market and resulted in reduced sales of our wafer mapping products,
which represented approximately 46% and 52% of semiconductor product revenues during the
three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Our revenues from sales of end-user
systems increased 27% during the three months ended March 31, 2005 from the three months
ended March 31, 2004, and increased 3% from the quarter ended December 31, 2004. These
revenue increases are the result of continued success in selling inspection systems to a
growing number of large manufacturers of circuit boards and memory modules, particularly
in Asia, and to some strengthening in the circuit board assembly markets in North America
and Europe. A large portion of the worldwide production capacity for printed circuit
boards is being added in China, and we have been successful in selling inspection systems
to new and existing customers in that region. We opened a sales office in China during the
fourth quarter of 2004 to further pursue opportunities in that market.

International revenues comprised
approximately 75% and 81% of total revenues during the three month periods ended March 31,
2005 and 2004, respectively. The international markets in Asia, Japan and Europe account
for a significant portion of the capital equipment market for the manufacture of
electronics, the primary market for our EAS sensors and End-User systems

product lines. Revenues generated
from products used primarily for SMT electronic assembly production (revenues from OEM
sensors and End-User systems) were approximately 88% and 85% of revenues for the three
month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

# Gross Margin

Gross margin for the three months
ended March 31, 2005 decreased as a percentage of revenues to 57%, compared to 58% during
the three months ended March 31, 2004, but increased as a percentage of revenues from 56%
during the three months ended December 31, 2004. The decrease in gross margin as a
percentage of revenues during the first quarter of 2005 from the comparable period in 2004
is primarily due to a higher proportion of SMT systems revenue during 2005, which carries
a lower gross margin percentage than our sensor products, and higher warranty costs in
2005. The increase in gross margin as a percentage of revenues in the first quarter of
2005 compared to the fourth quarter of 2004 is primarily due to a higher average selling
price on SMT systems due to increased revenues from North America and Europe, offset
somewhat by higher warranty costs in 2005.

# Research and Development

Research and development expenses
decreased 3% to $1.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2005 from the three
months ended March 31, 2004 and decreased 10% from $1.9 million in the quarter ended
December 31, 2004. As a percentage of revenue, research and development expenses increased
to 15% during the three months ended March 31, 2005 from 14% during the comparable period
in 2004, but decreased from 17% of revenues during the quarter ended December 31, 2004.
Customer funded research and development is recognized as a reduction of research and
development expense. During the three months ended March 31, 2005, there was $100,000 of
customer funded research and development recognized as a reduction of research and
development expense compared to none during the three months ended March 31, 2004 or the
three months ended December 31, 2004. We expect research and development expenses to
decrease by approximately 10% in the second quarter of 2005 as compared to the levels
recorded in the first quarter of 2005, due primarily to an anticipated increase in funded
development partially offset by increased spending to accelerate the completion of
important new product development initiatives.

Research and development expenses
during the three months ended March 31, 2005 were primarily focused on development
activities for completion of the SE 300 Ultra, the new Embedded Process Verification
sensor family (EPV), a fiducial camera for a new OEM customer, other development
activities for the SE and KS series inspection systems and next generation LaserAlign
products. In addition, we are continuing development of new products for the Semiconductor
market, and are completing development of the recently introduced WaferSense auto
leveling sensor (ALS).

# Selling, General and
Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased 11% to $3.2 million during the three month period ended March 31, 2005
compared to $2.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2004, but decreased 6%
from $3.4 million during the three months ended December 31, 2004. As a percentage of
revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 28% during the three
month period ended March 31, 2005 from 22% in the comparable period in 2004, but decreased
from 30% in the fourth quarter of 2004. The increase in selling, general and
administrative expense in the first quarter of 2005 compared to the first quarter of 2004
is primarily the result of additional investments in sales and marketing, including
increased investment in Asia and promotional costs associated with new product
introductions, other variable costs associated with supporting a growing SMT systems
revenue base and increased corporate governance costs, including costs associated with
implementing an internal control framework in accordance with section 404 of the Sarbanes
Oxley Act of 2002. We anticipate that selling, general and administrative costs in the
second quarter of 2005 to be at or slightly above the levels recorded in the three months
ended March 31, 2005, with reduced variable sales costs resulting from lower revenues
offset by increased new product introduction expenses and Asia sales channel investments.

Amortization
of Intangible Assets

Amortization of acquired intangible
assets was $207,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2005 compared to $230,000
million during the three months ended March 31, 2004. The decrease in amortization during
the three month periods ended March 31, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 is
primarily due to certain acquired intangible assets becoming fully amortized in 2004.
Amortization of intangible assets is expected to be approximately $1.0 million in 2005.

# Interest and Other

Interest income and other primarily
includes interest earned on investments. Interest income increased during the three month
periods ended March 31, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 primarily as a result of
increased investment balances as the result of approximately $15.5 million in cash and
investments generated during 2004.

# Provision for Income
Taxes and Effective Income Tax Rate

During the third quarter of 2002 we
concluded that a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets was appropriate
due to the cumulative U.S. losses we had incurred over the prior three years, continued
operating losses and full utilization of our loss carryback potential in 2002. A deferred
tax asset generally represents future tax benefit to be received when certain expenses and
losses previously recognized in our U.S. GAAP-based financial statements become deductible
under applicable income tax laws. Consequently, realization of a deferred tax asset is
dependent on future taxable income against which these deductions can be applied. Since
the third quarter of fiscal 2002, we have continued to provide a full valuation allowance
against future tax benefits produced by our U.S. based operating results. We will continue
to assess carrying or eliminating the full valuation allowance on U.S. based deferred tax
assets on a quarterly basis during 2005. Release of the full valuation allowance would
result in the recognition of a significant deferred tax benefit.

During the three month period ended
March 31, 2004, U.S. based operating results were not taxed due to the valuation allowance
on deferred tax assets, and tax expense of $25,000 recorded in the first quarter of 2004
related to income generated by foreign subsidiaries. During the three month period ended
March 31, 2005, we recorded a tax provision at an estimated annual effective rate of 24%
because we have now utilized tax operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and have
begun to again pay income taxes. Because we continue to maintain a valuation allowance on
deferred tax assets, estimated 2005 income tax requirements are reflected in our annual
expected tax rate.

# Order Rate and Backlog

Our orders totaled $11.1 million
during the three month period ended March 31, 2005 compared to $13.7 million during the
three month period ended March 31, 2004. Backlog totaled $3.5 million and $7.7 million at
March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The scheduled shipment (or revenue for systems
recognized upon acceptance) of the March 31, 2005 backlog is as follows:

# LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL
RESOURCES

Our cash and cash equivalents
decreased by $1.8 million during the three month period ended March 31, 2005, primarily
because of purchases of $3.2 million of marketable securities, net of maturities of
marketable securities, and the purchase of $65,000 of capital assets, offset by
approximately $1.4 million of cash generated from operating activities and $170,000 of
cash generated from financing activities. Our cash and cash equivalents fluctuate in part
because of maturities of marketable securities and investment of cash balances resulting
from those maturities, or from other sources of cash, in addition to marketable
securities. Accordingly, we believe the combined balances of cash and marketable
securities provide a more reliable indication of our available liquidity. Our combined
balances of cash and marketable securities increased $1.4 million to $41.7 million as of
March 31, 2005 from $40.3 million as of December 31, 2004.

We generated $1.4 million of cash
from operations during the three months ended March 31, 2005. Cash generated from
operations primarily included net income of $1.1 million, which included $563,000 of net
non-cash expenses for depreciation and amortization, provision for inventory obsolescence
and other non-cash items, increased accounts payable of $1.0 million and decreases in
other working capital assets of $230,000. This cash generated more than offset reductions
in accrued expenses of $1.2 million and advance customer payments of $429,000. Increased
accounts payable is primarily the result of increased inventory purchases and the timing
of vendor payments, while the reduction in accrued expenses is primarily the result of
2004 bonus payments made during the three months ended March 31, 2005. During the three
months ended March 31, 2004, we generated $1.8 million of cash from operations. Cash
generated primarily included net income of $2.7 million, which included $686,000 of
non-cash expenses, and increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $644,000.
This cash generated more than offset investments in accounts receivable of $1.1 million,
inventory of $838,000 and other current assets of $291,000.

We used $3.3 million of cash in
investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to $1.5 million
during the same period in 2004. Changes in the level of investment in marketable
securities resulting from the purchases and maturities of those securities used $3.2
million of cash in 2005 and used $1.4 million of cash in 2004. We used approximately
$65,000 and $88,000 of cash for the purchase of fixed assets and capitalized patent costs
during the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

---

We generated $170,000 of cash from
financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to generating
$1.0 million of cash during the same period in 2004. Cash generated from financing
activities represents cash from stock option exercises.

A table of our contractual
obligations was provided in Item 7 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2004. There were no significant changes to our contractual obligations
during the three months ended March 31, 2005 and we have not entered into any material
commitments for capital expenditures outside of those normal contractual obligations.
Purchase commitments for inventory can vary based on the volume of revenue and resulting
inventory requirements. Our cash and cash equivalents and investments totaled $41.7
million at March 31, 2005. With this level of cash and cash equivalents and investments,
we believe that our cash and cash equivalents and investments will be adequate to fund
cash flow needs for the foreseeable future.

At March 31, 2005, we did not have
any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities
often referred to as structured finance of special purpose entities, which would have been
established for the purpose of establishing off-balance sheet arrangements or other
contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not exposed to the financing,
liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

# OTHER FACTORS

Changes in revenues have resulted
primarily from changes in the level of unit shipments and new product introductions. We
believe that inflation has not had any significant effect on operations. All of our
international export sales are negotiated, invoiced and paid in U.S. dollars. Accordingly,
although currency fluctuations do not significantly affect our revenue and income per
unit, they can influence the price competitiveness of our products and the willingness of
existing and potential customers to purchase units.

As a result of the Kestra Ltd.
acquisition we have a sales and software development office located in the UK. We also
have a sales office in Singapore and China. We do not believe that currency fluctuations
will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
