NOTES TO THE (UNAUDITED) INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CYBEROPTICS CORPORATION

1. INTERIM REPORTING:

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein as of June 30, 2014, and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting 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 and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 do not necessarily indicate the results to be expected for the full year. The December 31, 2013 consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These unaudited interim condensed 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, 2013.

2. ACQUISITION:

On March 14, 2014 we acquired substantially all of the assets of Laser Design, Inc. (LDI), a privately held company based in Minneapolis, Minnesota for aggregate consideration of $2,633,000 in cash plus the assumption of certain current liabilities of $1,073,000. We also paid aggregate signing bonuses of $475,000 to key executives of LDI which have been accounted for as acquisition consideration. With annual revenues of approximately $6,000,000, LDI provides scanning systems and services to the global 3D scanner and services metrology market and enables us to enter the growing market for general purpose 3D metrology. We also intend to leverage our proprietary 3D sensor technology in LDI’s products to enable differentiated offerings.

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase price is allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired, based upon their estimated fair values as of March 14, 2014. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we completed our valuation work and management review of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and finalized the purchase price adjustment for the net working capital acquired. Adjustments to provisional amounts reflected in our preliminary purchase price allocation as of March 31, 2014 included a $24,000 decrease in intangible assets and a $46,000 increase in goodwill, among other adjustments. These measurement period adjustments require the revision of comparative financial information for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. The adjustment to intangible assets decreased amortization expense in the three months ended March 31, 2014 by less than $300. None of the other adjustments to the provisional amounts had any impact on our results of operations for the first quarter of 2014.

The purchase price allocation for our acquisition of LDI is as follows:



(In thousands)
Accounts receivable	$	662
Inventories	551
Equipment and leasehold improvements	1,507
Other assets	91
Intangible assets	573
Identifiable assets acquired	3,384
Accounts payable	640
Accrued expenses and advance customer payments	433
Liabilities assumed	1,073
Net identifiable assets acquired	2,311
Goodwill	797
Purchase price	$	3,108

The allocation of the purchase price resulted in recognition of the following identified intangible assets:



	(In thousands)		Weighted Average Life-Years
Software	$	206	7
Patent	165		7
Marketing assets and customer relationships	101		9
Non-compete agreements	101		4
	$	573

The fair value of the above identified intangible assets was estimated using an income approach. Under the income approach, an intangible asset’s fair value is equal to the present value of future economic benefits to be derived from ownership of the asset. Indications of value are developed by discounting future net cash flows to their present value at market-based rates of return. The software, patent and marketing intangible assets have been appraised using a relief from royalty income methodology; the non-competes using a “with and without” income methodology; and, customer relationships using a multi period excess earnings methodology. The goodwill recognized as a result of the LDI acquisition is primarily attributable to the value of the workforce, as well as unidentifiable intangible assets. We paid a premium over the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired (i.e. goodwill) because owning LDI enables us to have initial access to the general purpose 3D metrology market and allows us to leverage our proprietary 3D sensor technology in LDI’s products.

All of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes over a 15 year period. The useful life of the intangible assets for income tax amortization purposes was determined based on management’s best estimate of the expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the intangible assets, adjusted as appropriate for entity-specific factors, including competitive, economic or other factors that may limit the useful life of the intangible assets.

Since the date of acquisition, LDI contributed approximately $2,200,000 to our revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2014, including approximately $1,700,000 of revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2014. Since the date of acquisition, LDI contributed $224,000 to our net loss in the six months ended June 30, 2014, including $135,000 of net loss in the three months ended June 30, 2014.

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information presents our revenue and net loss as if the acquisition of LDI occurred on January 1, 2013. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information has been prepared for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of the results that would have been achieved had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2013, or of future results. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information does not reflect any operating efficiencies and cost savings that may be realized from integration of LDI.



	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2014			2013			2014			2013
Revenue	$	13,263		$	10,782		$	24,478		$	18,936

Basic and diluted loss per share	$	(0.04	)	$	(0.19	)	$	(0.14	)	$	(0.51	)

We incurred approximately $117,000 in LDI related acquisition costs. Approximately $47,000 of these costs are recorded as selling, general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2014, with the remaining balance recorded as selling, general and administrative expense in the third and fourth quarters of 2013. The pro forma consolidated net loss for 2014 reflected in the table above was adjusted to exclude all acquisition related costs and the impact of the fair value adjustment to acquisition date inventories of $222,000. The pro forma net loss for 2013 has been adjusted to reflect these items as if the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2013.

Our investments in marketable debt securities all have maturities of less than five years. At June 30, 2014, marketable debt securities valued at $15,991,000 were in an unrealized gain position totaling $26,000 and marketable debt securities valued at $1,336,000 were in an unrealized loss position totaling $1,000 (all had been in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months). At December 31, 2013, marketable debt securities valued at $15,587,000 were in an unrealized gain position totaling $22,000 and marketable debt securities valued at $4,493,000 were in an unrealized loss position totaling $6,000 (all had been in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months).

Net pre-tax unrealized gains for marketable securities of $50,000 at June 30, 2014 and $38,000 at December 31, 2013 were recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. We received proceeds from the sale of marketable securities of $154,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2014, $1,069,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2013, $3,154,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2014 and $3,522,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2013. No gain or loss was recognized on any of the sales during the six months ended June 30, 2014. We recognized a $2,000 gain from the sale of marketable securities in the three months ended June 30, 2013. We recognized a $21,000 loss from the sale of marketable securities in the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Investments in marketable securities classified as cash equivalents of $27,000 at June 30, 2014 and $327,000 at December 31, 2013 consist of the following:

Cash and marketable securities held by foreign subsidiaries totaled $971,000 at June 30, 2014 and $903,000 at December 31, 2013.

4. DERIVATIVES:

We enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge against the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on cash flows denominated in foreign currencies associated with our subsidiary in Singapore. These transactions are designated as cash flow hedges and are recorded in the accompanying balance sheet at fair value. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings. Hedge ineffectiveness and the amounts excluded from effectiveness testing recognized in earnings on cash flow hedges were not material for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013.

The maximum length of time over which we hedge our exposure to the variability in future cash flows is 12 months. Accordingly, at June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, all of our open foreign exchange forward contracts had maturities of one year or less. The dollar equivalent gross notional amount of our foreign exchange forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges was approximately $7.0 million at June 30, 2014 and $5.7 million at June 30, 2013.

Reclassifications of amounts from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings include accumulated gains (losses) at the time earnings are impacted by the forecasted transaction. The location in the consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of comprehensive loss and amounts of gains and losses related to derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges are as follows:

Amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss for the after tax net unrealized loss associated with cash flow hedging instruments was $13,000 at June 30, 2014 and $116,000 at December 31, 2013. We expect to reclassify the June 30, 2014 pretax unrealized gain of $44,000 recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings over the next 12 months with the impact offset by cash flows from underlying hedged items. The fair value of our foreign exchange forward contracts representing a gain in the amount of $41,000 at June 30, 2014 has been recorded in other current assets. The fair value of our foreign exchange forward contracts representing a loss in the amount of $58,000 at December 31, 2013 has been recorded in accrued expenses.

Additional information with respect to the impact of derivative instruments on other comprehensive income (loss) is included in Note 13. Additional information with respect to the fair value of derivative instruments is included in Note 5.

Our foreign exchange forward contracts 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.

5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:

We determine the fair value of our assets and liabilities based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. We use a fair value hierarchy with three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1). The next highest priority is based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets or other observable inputs (Level 2). The lowest priority is given to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The following provides information regarding fair value measurements for our marketable securities and foreign exchange forward contracts as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 according to the three-level fair value hierarchy:

During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013 there was no transfers within the three level hierarchy. A significant transfer is recognized when the inputs used to value a security have been changed which merit a transfer between the disclosed levels of the valuation hierarchy.

The fair value for our U.S. government and agency obligations, corporate debt securities and certificates of deposit and asset backed securities are determined based on valuations provided by external investment managers who obtain them from a variety of industry standard data providers. The fair value for our equity security is based on a quoted market price obtained from an active market.

The fair value for our foreign exchange forward contracts is based on foreign currency spot and forward rates obtained from reputable financial institutions with resulting valuations periodically validated by obtaining foreign currency spot rate and forward quotes from other industry standard sources, third party or counterparty quotes. The fair value of our foreign exchange forward contracts representing a gain in the amount of $41,000 as of June 30, 2014 has been recorded in other current assets. The fair value of our foreign exchange forward contracts representing a loss in the amount of $58,000 as of December 31, 2013 has been recorded in accrued expenses.

The carrying amounts of financial instruments such as cash equivalents, accounts receivable, income tax refunds receivable, other assets, accounts payable, and all current liabilities approximate their related fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Non-financial assets such as equipment and leasehold improvements, goodwill and intangible assets are subject to non-recurring fair value measurements if they are deemed impaired. We had no re-measurements of non-financial assets to fair value during the six months ended June 30, 2014 or June 30, 2013.

6. ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION:

All equity-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options and restricted stock units, are recognized as an expense in our consolidated statement of operations based on the grant date fair value of the award. We utilize the straight-line method of expense recognition over the award’s service period for our graded vesting options. The fair value of stock options granted has been determined using the Black-Scholes model. The compensation expense recognized for all equity based awards is net of estimated forfeitures, which are based on historical data. We have classified equity based compensation within our statement of operations in the same manner as our cash based employee compensation costs.

Equity based compensation expense in the three months ended June 30, 2014 totaled $153,000 and includes $80,000 for stock option awards, $10,000 for our employee stock purchase plan, $31,000 for unvested restricted stock units and $32,000 for shares issued to our non-employee directors upon their re-election to our board in May 2014. Equity based compensation expense in the six months ended June 30, 2014 totaled $261,000 and includes $150,000 for stock option awards, $18,000 for our employee stock purchase plan, $61,000 for unvested restricted stock units and $32,000 for shares issued to our non-employee directors.

Equity based compensation expense in the three months ended June 30, 2013 totaled $130,000 and includes $64,000 for stock option awards, $12,000 for our employee stock purchase plan, $24,000 for unvested restricted stock units and $30,000 for shares issued to our non-employee directors upon their re-election to our board in May 2013. Equity based compensation in the six months ended June 30, 2013 totaled $233,000 and includes $130,000 for stock option awards, $24,000 for our employee stock purchase plan, $49,000 for unvested restricted stock units and $30,000 for shares issued to our non-employee directors.

At June 30, 2014 the total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested equity based compensation arrangements was $1,156,000 and the related weighted average period over which it is expected to be recognized is 2.67 years.

For stock options granted during the six months ending June 30, 2014, we utilized the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant and employed the following key assumptions in computing fair value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model:



	2014
Risk-free interest rates	1.55% - 1.65%
Expected life in years	5.30 - 5.48
Expected volatility	46.57% - 46.90%
Dividend yield	—%
Weighted average fair value on grant date	$3.39

Stock Options

We have two stock incentive plans that are administered under the supervision of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. As of June 30, 2014, there are 940,166 shares of common stock reserved in the aggregate for issuance of options and other stock based benefits under these plans, including restricted stock units and share grants to employees, officers and others. Reserved shares underlying canceled options are available for future grant under our active plan. Options are granted at an option price per share equal to or greater than the market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Generally, options granted to employees vest over a four-year period and expire seven years after the date of grant. The plans allow for option holders to tender shares of our common stock as consideration for the option price, provided that the tendered shares have been held by the option holder at least six months. As of June 30, 2014, there were 286,472 shares of common stock available under our active plan for future issuance to employees, officers and others.

The following is a summary of stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2014:



	Options Outstanding		Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share
Outstanding, December 31, 2013	586,483		$	8.07
Granted	170,000		7.73
Exercised	(59,200	)	5.04
Expired	(43,851	)	14.80
Forfeited	(52,498	)	7.50
Outstanding, June 30, 2014	600,934		$	7.83

Exercisable, June 30, 2014	273,354		$	8.73

The intrinsic value of an option is the amount by which the fair value of the underlying stock exceeds its exercise price. At June 30, 2014, the weighted average remaining contractual term of all outstanding options was 4.42 years and their aggregate intrinsic value was $546,580. At June 30, 2014, the weighted average remaining contractual term of options that were exercisable was 2.28 years and their aggregate intrinsic value was $228,082. We received proceeds of $298,358 from the exercise of stock options in the six months ended June 30, 2014. We received no proceeds from the exercise of stock options in the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Restricted Stock Units

Our 1998 Stock Incentive Plan also permits our Compensation Committee to grant other stock-based benefits, including restricted stock units. Restricted stock units are valued at a price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant, vest over a four year period provided the employee is still working for the company and entitle the holders to one share of our common stock for each restricted stock unit. The aggregate fair value of outstanding restricted stock units based on the closing share price of our common stock on June 30, 2014 was $422,000. The aggregate fair value of restricted stock units that vested in the six months ended June 30, 2014, based on the closing share price of our common stock on the vesting date, was $34,796.

A summary of activity in non-vested restricted stock units for the six months ended June 30, 2014 is as follows:



Non-vested restricted stock units	Shares		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Non-vested at December 31, 2013	46,943		$	6.82
Granted	20,000		6.97
Vested	(5,433	)	7.31
Forfeited	(8,750	)	7.50
Non-vested at June 30, 2014	52,760		$	6.71

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

We have an Employee Stock Purchase Plan available to eligible U.S. employees. Under terms of the plan, eligible employees may designate from 1% to 10% of their compensation to be withheld through payroll deductions, up to a maximum of $6,500 in each plan year, for the purchase of common stock at 85% of the lower of the market price on the first or last day of the offering period. There were no shares issued under this plan in the six months ended June 30, 2014 or June 30, 2013. As of June 30, 2014, 153,926 shares remain available for future issuance under this plan.

Stock Grant Plan for Non-Employee Directors

Our stock grant plan for non-employee directors provides for automatic grants of 1,000 shares of our common stock to each of our non-employee directors upon their re-election to the Board of Directors. The plan allows for the issuance of up to 60,000 shares of our common stock, including an additional 30,000 shares authorized in May 2014, and will expire on May 19, 2018. We issued a total of 4,000 shares of common stock under this plan in connection with our annual meeting in May 2014, resulting in $32,000 of stock compensation expense in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. As of June 30, 2014, 32,000 shares of common stock are reserved in the aggregate for future issuance under this plan.

7. INVENTORIES AND WARRANTIES:

Inventories consist of the following:



	June 30, 2014		December 31, 2013
Raw materials and purchased parts	$	7,454	$	6,690
Work in process	1,454		1,135
Finished goods	3,736		3,506
Total inventories	$	12,644	$	11,331

Warranty costs:

We provide for the estimated cost of product warranties, which extend for periods from one to three years after purchase, 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 and could be material. Our warranty liability is included as a component of accrued expenses. 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:



	Six Months Ended June 30,
(In thousands)	2014			2013
Balance at beginning of period	$	513		$	694

8. INTANGIBLE ASSETS:

Intangible assets consist of the following:



	June 30, 2014							December 31, 2013
(In thousands)	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Net		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Net
Patents	$	3,125	$	(2,833	)	$	292	$	2,915	$	(2,779	)	$	136

	$	3,533	$	(2,853	)	$	680	$	2,915	$	(2,779	)	$	136

The weighted average amortization period for our intangible assets is as follows: patents five years, software seven years, marketing assets and customer relationships nine years, and non-compete agreements four years. Amortization expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 is as follows:



	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
(In thousands)	2014		2013		2014		2013
Patents	$	30	$	31	$	54	$	65

Marketing assets and customer relationships	3		—		4		—
Non-compete agreements	6		—		7		—
	$	46	$	31	$	74	$	65

Amortization of patents has been classified as research and development expense in the accompanying statements of operations. Estimated aggregate amortization expense based on current intangibles for the next five years is expected to be as follows: $94,000 for the remainder of 2014, $147,000 in 2015, $119,000 in 2016, $94,000 in 2017, $67,000 in 2018 and $62,000 in 2019.

Intangible and other long lived assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from use of the asset and eventual disposition are less than the carrying amount.

9. GOODWILL:

Goodwill increased by $797,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2014 due to our acquisition of LDI. There was no change in our goodwill balance in the six months ended June 30, 2013. Adjustments to provisional amounts reflected in our March 31, 2014 balance sheet for the LDI acquisition resulted in a $46,000 increase to goodwill in the three months ended June 30, 2014.

10. SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS:

Export sales were 78% of revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 76% of revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2014. Export sales were 80% of revenue in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. Virtually all of our export sales are negotiated, invoiced and paid in U.S. dollars. Export sales by geographic area are summarized as follows:



	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
(In thousands)	2014		2013		2014		2013
Americas	$	483	$	442	$	695	$	498
Europe	2,998		2,960		5,156		4,675
Asia	6,466		3,900		11,400		7,392
Other	353		148		373		262
Total export sales	$	10,300	$	7,450	$	17,624	$	12,827

Our LaserAlign sensor family has historically accounted for a significant portion of our revenues and profitability. Our revenue, results of operations and cash flows would be negatively impacted if our LaserAlign 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.

We are dependent upon two customers, Juki and Assembleon, for a significant portion of our total revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, sales to Juki accounted for 17% of our total revenue and sales to Assembleon accounted for 8% of our total revenue.

11. RESTRUCTURING AND SEVERANCE COSTS:

Severance costs of $952,000 were incurred in the fourth quarter of 2013 when we reduced our global workforce by approximately 30 employees. Expenses for contract workers were also reduced. The workforce reduction was undertaken to strengthen our commitment to cost control, minimize losses and to improve focus on market support for our products. No restructuring or severance costs were incurred in the three or six months ended June 30, 2014 or June 30, 2013.

A summary of our remaining restructuring accrual relating to this action is as follows:



(In thousands)	Fourth Quarter 2013 Workforce Reduction
Balance, December 31, 2013	$	511
Cost incurred	—
Payments made	511
Balance, June 30, 2014	$	—

12. NET LOSS PER SHARE:

Net loss per basic and diluted share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares consist of common shares to be issued upon exercise of stock options, restricted stock units and from participation in our employee stock purchase plan, as calculated using the treasury stock method. All potentially dilutive common equivalent shares are excluded from the calculations of net loss per diluted share due to their anti-dilutive effect. As a result, no common equivalent shares were included in the calculations of net loss per diluted share for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 or June 30, 2013. The components of net loss per basic and diluted share are as follows:



(In thousands except per share amounts)	Net Loss			Weighted Average Shares Outstanding	Per Share Amount
Three Months Ended June 30, 2014:
Basic	$	(315	)	6,547	$	(0.05	)

Dilutive effect of common equivalent shares	—			—	—
Dilutive	$	(1,124	)	6,527	$	(0.17	)



(In thousands except per share amounts)	Net Loss			Weighted Average Shares Outstanding	Per Share Amount
Six Months Ended June 30, 2013:
Basic	$	(3,346	)	6,933	$	(0.48	)
Dilutive effect of common equivalent shares	—			—	—
Dilutive	$	(3,346	)	6,933	$	(0.48	)

The calculation of diluted net loss per common share excludes 676,000 and 600,000 potentially dilutive shares for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, and 723,000 and 603,000 potentially dilutive shares for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

13. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS):

Taxes related to items of other comprehensive income (loss) are as follows:

Reclassification adjustments are made to avoid double counting for items included in comprehensive income (loss) that are also recorded as part of net loss. Reclassifications to earnings related to cash flow hedging instruments are discussed in Note 4. Income taxes are not provided for foreign currency translation adjustments relating to permanent investments in international subsidiaries. We have recorded a valuation allowance against all of our United States and Singapore based deferred tax assets. Accordingly, we do not expect to record a tax provision for items of other comprehensive income (loss) until such time as the valuation allowance is substantially reduced. The effect of the reclassifications from comprehensive income (loss) to earnings by line item is as follows:

14. INCOME TAXES:

We recorded income tax expense of $54,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $74,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2013. Our income tax expense in both the six months ended June 30, 2014 and the six months ended June 30, 2013 reflects minimal state income tax expense and foreign income tax expense associated with our subsidiaries in the United Kingdom and China.

We currently have significant deferred tax assets as a result of temporary differences between taxable income on our tax returns and U.S. GAAP income, research and development tax credit carry forwards and federal, state and foreign net operating loss carry forwards. A deferred tax asset generally represents future tax benefits to be received when temporary differences previously reported in our financial statements become deductible for income tax purposes, when net operating loss carry forwards are applied against future taxable income, or when tax credit carry forwards are utilized on our tax returns. We assess the realizability of our deferred tax assets and the need for a valuation allowance based on the guidance provided in current financial accounting standards.

Significant judgment is required in determining the realizability of our deferred tax assets. The assessment of whether valuation allowances are required considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of any current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carry forward periods, our experience with loss carry forwards not expiring unused and tax planning alternatives.

We have concluded that a valuation allowance is needed for all of our United States and Singapore based deferred tax assets due to the losses we have sustained since 2011 and our near term financial outlook. In analyzing the need for a valuation allowance, we considered our history of operating results for income tax purposes over the past three years in each of the tax jurisdictions where we operate, statutory carry forward periods and tax planning alternatives. Finally, we considered both our near and long-term financial outlook and timing regarding when we might return to profitability. After considering all available evidence both positive and negative, we concluded that a valuation allowance is needed for all of our U.S. and Singapore based deferred tax assets at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Deferred tax assets at June 30, 2014 include net operating loss carry forwards incurred in the UK by CyberOptics Ltd., which was acquired in 1999. A valuation allowance has not been recorded against these deferred tax assets. The utilization of these net operating loss carry forwards is dependent on CyberOptics Ltd.’s ability to generate sufficient UK taxable income during the carry forward period.

15. CONTINGENCIES:

We are periodically a defendant in miscellaneous claims and disputes in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management presently believes the disposition of these matters will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In the normal course of business to facilitate sales of our products and services, we at times indemnify other parties, including customers, with respect to certain matters. In these instances, we have agreed to hold the other parties harmless against losses arising out of intellectual property infringement or other types of claims. These agreements may limit the time within which an indemnification claim can be made, and almost always limit the amount of the claim. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount under these indemnification agreements due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made, if any, under these agreements have not had a material impact on our operating results, financial position or cash flows.

16. RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS:

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance on the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers (ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers). Revenue recognition will depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The guidance permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application. The guidance is effective January 1, 2017 and early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the method of adoption and the impact of the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued guidance that changes the criteria for reporting a discontinued operation (ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant, and Equipment: Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity). According to the new guidance, only disposals of a component that represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results are a discontinued operation. The new guidance also requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations and disposals of a significant part of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. The guidance is effective beginning January 1, 2015 with early adoption permitted, but only for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported in previously-issued financial statements. The impact on our consolidated financial statements will be dependent on any transaction that is within the scope of the new guidance.

In July 2013, the FASB issued guidance regarding the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists (ASU No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists). Under certain circumstances, unrecognized tax benefits should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. The guidance was effective January 1, 2014, and was adopted by us in the first quarter. The guidance is a change in financial statement presentation only and had no impact on our consolidated financial results or financial position.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 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 and returns, warranty obligations, inventory valuation, the carrying value and any impairment of intangible assets, income taxes and derivatives and hedging activities. 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, 2013.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS:

The following management’s discussion and analysis contains a number of estimates and predictions that are forward looking rather than based on historical fact. Among other matters, we discuss (i) our level of anticipated revenues, gross margins, expenses, and net loss for the second half of 2014; (ii) the timing of initial revenue and margin improvements from new products that we have under development, that have been recently introduced or we anticipate introducing in the future; (iii) the anticipated impact of LDI on our revenue, expenses and net loss; (iv) our beliefs regarding trends in the general economy and its impact on markets for our products and (v) the impact of currency fluctuations on our operations. Although we have made these statements based on our experience and best estimate of future events, there may be events or factors that we have not anticipated, and the accuracy of our statements and estimates are subject to a number of risks, including those identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

Our products are sold primarily into the electronics assembly, DRAM and flash memory, and semiconductor fabrication capital equipment markets. We sell products in these markets both to original equipment manufacturers of production equipment and to end-user customers that assemble circuit boards and semiconductor wafers and devices. On March 14, 2014, we completed our acquisition of Laser Design, Inc. (LDI) for aggregate consideration of approximately $3.1 million in cash plus the assumption of certain current liabilities. With annual revenues of approximately $6.0 million, LDI provides scanning systems and services to the global 3D scanner and services metrology market and enables us to enter the growing market for general purpose 3D metrology.

Recent product introductions mark our first steps toward strengthening our competitive position in our current markets, particularly in the mobile computing and high performance segments of the SMT inspection systems market, after reduced demand for our products in electronic assembly markets during 2013 that resulted from weak SMT market conditions and the downturn in the laptop computer market. Our new automated optical inspection (AOI) and solder paste inspection (SPI) systems that we introduced in 2013 are gaining share in their respective inspection markets, and we also are encouraged by increased sales of pre-reflow AOI systems, reflecting the value customers are finding by inspecting circuit boards for defects before entering the reflow oven. The second quarter of 2014 marked our third consecutive three month period of improved operating results and higher year-over-year organic sales, reinforcing our belief that our growth strategies are starting to work as planned.

We have earmarked additional funds to expand our marketing efforts, and have committed resources to developing new SMT products for conformal coating and memory inspection and 3D AOI. We are developing a new high speed metrology grade 3D measurement technology (MRS) that we expect to be market ready in 2014. Although our first commercial application of this technology is expected to be in our own 3D AOI SMT inspection system, we also intend to expand sales of this technology into adjacent targeted markets that require high precision optical 3D inspection. In addition, we are pursuing new OEM opportunities with our MRS 3D technology. A portion of the savings from the workforce reduction we implemented in the fourth quarter of 2013 is being used to support our investment in these key growth initiatives.

Our acquisition of LDI represents another aspect of our 3D strategy. In addition to providing us with an initial presence in the general metrology market, we believe that LDI will extend our reach into a diverse range of new industrial markets where LDI serves a number of Fortune 500 companies. We also intend to leverage the new 3D MRS sensor technology that we are developing in-house by applying it in the metrology market. We anticipate that our MRS-equipped product for the general metrology market will be ready in early 2015.

We are forecasting organic year over year double-digit sales growth and a lower loss for the second half of 2014. With cash and marketable securities of $19.2 million at June 30, 2014, we believe we have the resources required to attain our growth objectives over the next several years.

Revenues

Our revenues increased by 42% to $13.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014, from $9.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013, and increased by 44% to $23.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014, from $16.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013. The following table sets forth revenues by product line for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:





	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
(In thousands)	2014		2013		2014		2013
SMT Sensors	$	4,162	$	2,738	$	6,984	$	4,476
SMT Inspection Systems		5,634		4,915		10,341		8,096
Semiconductor Sensors		1,808		1,664		3,597		3,458
3D Scanning Systems and Services		1,659		—		2,176		—
Total	$	13,263	$	9,317	$	23,098	$	16,030

Revenue from sales of SMT sensors increased by $1.4 million or 52% to $4.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014, from $2.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013, and increased by $2.5 million or 56% to $7.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014, from $4.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013. Revenue increases in both periods were driven by demand for next-generation LaserAlign sensors from our largest OEM customer, who also has made our Embedded Process Verification (EPV) sensor standard on some of its pick-and-place platforms. Sales of EPV sensors totaled approximately $577,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2014. Strong sales of LaserAlign sensors to other key OEM customers and 3D solder paste inspection sensors to Viscom also contributed to the higher revenue levels.

Revenue from sales of our SMT inspection systems increased by $719,000 or 15% to $5.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014, from $4.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013, and increased by $2.2 million or 28% to $10.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014, from $8.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013. Revenue from sales of SPI systems increased by $388,000 or 17% to $2.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014, from $2.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013, and increased by $755,000 or 21% to $4.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014, from $3.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013. Revenue from sales of AOI systems increased by $182,000 or 8% to $2.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014, from $2.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013, and increased by $1.4 million or 39% to $5.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014, from $3.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Revenue increases from SMT inspection systems were driven by increased sales of new SE600 and SE500Ultra SPI products and QX600 AOI products, reflecting their improved inspection capabilities and ease of use. We also are encouraged by increased sales of pre-reflow AOI systems, reflecting the value customers are finding by inspecting circuit boards for defects before entering the reflow oven. We believe that new system products that we plan to introduce, particularly those based on our 3D MRS technology, will strengthen our competitive position in the SMT inspection systems market and that technology trends toward smaller components and increased production speeds will continue to drive demand in the future.

Revenue from sales of our semiconductor sensors increased by $144,000 or 9% to $1.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014, from $1.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013, and increased by $139,000 or 4% to $3.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014, from $3.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013, reflecting higher sales of frame grabber and wafer mapper products. Our WaferSense® products make up the vast majority of our revenue from sales of semiconductor sensors. We are devoting additional resources to increased marketing of our WaferSense products. We anticipate that the benefits from growing market awareness and new product introductions, including our recently introduced ReticleSense™ airborne particle sensor, will result in additional sales.

Our acquisition of LDI, which closed on March 14, 2014, contributed $1.7 million of revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2014 and $2.2 million of revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2014. Historically, LDI has generated approximately $6.0 million in annual revenues.

Export revenue totaled $10.3 million or 78% of total revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $7.5 million or 80% of total revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2013. Export revenue totaled $17.6 million or 76% of total revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $12.8 million or 80% of total revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2013. Export revenue as a percentage of total revenue declined in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, mainly because LDI generates more of its revenue from domestic customers.

Cost of Revenues and Gross Margin

Cost of revenues increased by $2.2 million or 41% to $7.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014, from $5.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013, and increased by $3.6 million or 40% to $12.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014, from $9.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in cost of revenues was due to the 42% and 44% increase in revenues in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, when compared to the corresponding period of the preceding year. Items included in cost of revenues that fluctuate with the level of sales include raw materials, direct labor and factory overhead costs. Total gross margin as a percentage of revenues was 44% in the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 45% in the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to 44% in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.

The slight increase in gross margin percentage was due in part to a shift in sales mix to higher margin AOI products, including pre-reflow AOI systems. Our new SE600 SPI and QX600 AOI products tend to have better margins than our older system products because they offer a better level of inspection performance. In addition, our next generation LaserAlign and 3D solder paste inspection sensors have higher gross margins than older SMT sensor products. Gross margin percentages from 3D scanning systems and services revenues resulting from our acquisition of LDI did not have a significant impact on our overall gross margin percentage.

Our markets are highly price competitive, particularly the electronic assembly market, resulting in continual pressure on our gross margins. We compensate for pricing pressure by introducing new products with more features and improved performance and through manufacturing cost reduction programs. Many of our recently introduced products, including next generation SMT sensors and systems, and WaferSense sensors, have more favorable margins than our existing products.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue were lower in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 when compared to the same period of 2013 due to the year over year increase in our revenues, and the workforce reduction we implemented in the fourth quarter of 2013. A portion of the savings from the workforce reduction is being used to support our investment in key growth initiatives, including our MRS technology, development of 3D AOI, memory and conformal coating inspection systems and enhanced marketing for our WaferSense products.

Research and development expenses were $2.4 million or 18% of revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $2.0 million or 22% of revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2013. Research and development expenses were $4.4 million or 19% of revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $3.9 million or 24% of revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in research and development expenses resulted from our acquisition of LDI, continued development of our MRS technology, 3D AOI, memory and conformal coating inspection systems, offset in part by lower wages, benefits and other cost savings resulting from our workforce reduction in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $3.7 million or 28% of revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $3.2 million or 35% of revenue in the three months ended June 30, 3013. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $7.0 million or 30% of revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $6.4 million or 40% of revenue in the six months ended June 30, 3013. Our acquisition of LDI added $718,000 to selling, general and administrative expense in the three months ended June 30, 2014. Higher selling, general and administrative expenses were also due to an increase in professional fees, including those related to our acquisition of LDI, and an increase in commissions for third party sales representatives due to higher SMT system sales. These increases were offset in part by cost efficiencies resulting from our workforce reduction in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Restructuring and Severance Costs

Severance costs of $952,000 were incurred in the fourth quarter of 2013, when we reduced our global workforce by approximately 30 employees. Expenses for contract workers were also reduced. The workforce reduction was undertaken to strengthen our commitment to cost control, minimize losses and to improve focus on market support for our products. Annual expense savings starting in the first quarter of 2014 associated with the global workforce reduction and other cost containment

actions is anticipated to total approximately $2.0 million. Critical engineering employees working on key next generation technologies and products were not impacted. A portion of the anticipated savings will be used to fund new growth initiatives in future periods. No restructuring or severance costs were incurred in the three or six months ended June 30, 2014 or June 30, 2013.

A summary of our remaining restructuring accrual relating to this action is as follows:



(In thousands)	Fourth Quarter 2013 Workforce Reduction
Balance, December 31, 2013	$	511
Cost incurred	—
Payments made	511
Balance, June 30, 2014	$	—

Interest Income and Other

Interest income and other includes interest earned on investments and gains and losses associated with foreign currency transactions, including intercompany financing transactions associated with our subsidiaries in the United Kingdom and Singapore. Because we maintain our investments in instruments designed to avoid risk of loss of principal, in the current interest rate environment we have generated very little interest income. We recognized a loss from foreign currency transactions of $21,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to a gain of $31,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2013. We recognized a loss from foreign currency transactions of $70,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to a loss of $81,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Income Taxes

We recorded income tax expense of $13,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $56,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2013. We recorded income tax expense of $54,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $74,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2013. At June 30, 2014, we continue to have a valuation allowance recorded against all of our United States and Singapore based deferred tax assets. Our income tax expense in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, reflects minimal state income tax expense and foreign income tax expense associated with our subsidiaries in the United Kingdom and China.

Order Rate and Backlog

Our orders totaled $11.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $13.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014, and $11.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013. Backlog totaled $5.8 million at June 30, 2014, $7.3 million at March 31, 2014 and $4.2 million at June 30, 2013.

The scheduled shipment (or estimated timing of revenue for systems recognized upon acceptance) for backlog at June 30, 2014 is as follows:



(In thousands)	Backlog
3rd Quarter 2014	$	4,959
4th Quarter 2014 and after	851
Total backlog	$	5,810

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash and cash equivalents decreased by $1.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014, principally resulting from our purchase of LDI for $3.1 million, including signing bonus payments, cash used by operating activities of $936,000, purchases of fixed asset and capitalized patent costs totaling $438,000, offset in part by $2.8 million of proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable securities, net of purchases of marketable securities, and proceeds from exercise of stock options totaling $298,000. Our cash and cash equivalents fluctuate in part because of sales and maturities of marketable securities, and investment of cash balances in marketable securities, or from other sources of cash. Accordingly, we believe the combined balances of cash and marketable securities provide a more reliable indication of our available liquidity. Combined balances of cash and marketable securities decreased by $4.0 million to $19.2 million as of June 30, 2014 from $23.2 million as of December 31, 2013.

Operating activities used $936,000 of cash in the six months ended June 30, 2014. Cash used by operations included our net loss of $1.1 million, which included non-cash expenses totaling $1.2 million for depreciation and amortization, provision for doubtful accounts, deferred income taxes, non-cash losses from foreign currency transactions and stock compensation expenses. Changes in operating assets and liabilities providing cash included increases in accounts payable of $3.9 million, and an increase in accrued expenses of $89,000. Changes in operating assets and liabilities using cash included an increase in accounts receivable of $3.4 million, an increase in inventories of $968,000, an increase in other current assets of $254,000 and a decrease in advance customer payments of $326,000. The increase in accounts receivable was due to higher sales in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the fourth quarter of 2013. The increase in accounts payable and inventories was due to the timing of quarter end inventory purchases to meet anticipated future demand. Accounts payable was also driven higher by the timing of vendor payments at quarter end. Accrued expenses increased due to higher warranty and incentive compensation accruals. The increase in other current assets was due to a deposit paid to a supplier and higher VAT and GST tax. Advance customer payments declined due to recognition of revenue for transactions that were previously collected and deferred at December 31, 2013.

Investing activities used $793,000 of cash in the six months ended June 30, 2014. Changes in the level of investment in marketable securities, resulting from the purchases, sales and maturities of those securities provided $2.8 million of cash in the six months ended June 30, 2014. We used $438,000 of cash in the six months ended June 30, 2014 for the purchase of fixed assets and capitalized patent costs. We also used $3.1 million of cash in the six months ended June 30, 2014 for the purchase of LDI, including signing bonus payments that have been accounted for as part of the transaction purchase price.

Financing activities provided $298,000 of cash in the six months ended June 30, 2014 from the exercise of stock options. Our share repurchase program concluded in the fourth quarter of 2013 and no further repurchases are anticipated.

At June 30, 2014, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of establishing off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

Except for obligations under facility leases and purchase contracts, we had no material commitments for expenditures as of June 30, 2014. Purchase commitments for inventory can vary based on the volume of revenue and resulting inventory requirements. We continually evaluate investment opportunities that come to our attention and could make a significant commitment in the future.

Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $19.2 million at June 30, 2014. We believe that on-hand cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, coupled with anticipated future cash flow from operations, will be adequate to fund our cash flow needs for the foreseeable future, including contractual obligations discussed above.

Inflation and Foreign Currency Transactions

Changes in our revenues have resulted primarily because of changes in the level of unit shipments due to competitive factors and the relative strength or weakness of the worldwide electronics and semiconductor fabrication capital equipment markets. We believe that inflation has not had a significant effect on our operations.

Most of our international export sales are negotiated, invoiced and paid in U.S. dollars. We manufacture our SMT inspection system products in Singapore and a portion of our raw material purchases are denominated in Singapore dollars. We also have R&D and sales personnel located in Singapore and sales offices located in other parts of the world. Although currency fluctuations do not significantly affect our revenue, they can impact our costs and influence the price competitiveness of our products and the willingness of existing and potential customers to purchase units.

We enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge against the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on cash flows denominated in foreign currencies associated with our subsidiary in Singapore. These transactions are designated as cash flow hedges. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The maximum length of time over which we hedge our exposure to the variability in future cash flows is 12 months and, accordingly, at June 30, 2014, all of our open foreign exchange forward contracts had maturities of one year or less. The dollar equivalent gross notional amount of our foreign exchange forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges at June 30, 2014 was approximately $7.0 million.

At June 30, 2014, our open foreign exchange forward contracts were in an unrealized gain position equal to $41,000 on a pre-tax basis due to a strengthening of the U.S. dollar in relation to the Singapore dollar during the time from when we first entered into these contracts through June 30, 2014. If the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Singapore dollar were to remain unchanged over the next twelve months, we would realize this pre-tax gain through our statement of operations. If the U.S. dollar were to further strengthen, the unrealized gains on our open foreign exchange forward contracts would increase.

However, if the U.S. dollar strengthens, our costs, when converted from Singapore dollars to U.S. dollars, would decline, and because we do not fully hedge all of our future anticipated cash flows that are denominated in Singapore dollars, the decline in costs would normally exceed the increased loss from hedging. Conversely, if the U.S. dollar were to weaken in future periods in relation to the Singapore dollar, the gain on our open foreign exchange forward contracts would be reduced, but our costs would increase and the increased costs in U.S. dollar terms would normally exceed the reduction in the loss from hedging. The ultimate impact of any fluctuation in the relationship between the U.S. dollar and Singapore dollar is dependent on the level of Singapore denominated cash flows in future periods.
