Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2004

(Unaudited)

Management’s Statement

The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2004, the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003, and the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003 have been prepared by Microvision, Inc. (the “Company”) and have not been audited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position at September 30, 2004 and the results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented have been made and consist of normal recurring adjustments. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules of the SEC. You should read these condensed financial statements in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be attained for the entire fiscal year.

At September 30, 2004 Microvision had $8.8 million in cash and cash equivalents. Microvision will require additional financing to fund its current operating plan beyond the middle of January 2005. Microvision plans to raise additional cash to continue to fund its operating plan past that date. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to Microvision or that, if available, it will be available on terms acceptable to Microvision on a timely basis. If adequate funds are not available to satisfy either short-term or long-term capital requirements, Microvision will be required to limit its operations substantially. This limitation of operations may include reduction in capital expenditures, reductions in staff as well as operating costs.

Principles of Consolidation

Until July 2004, the consolidated financial statements included the accounts of Microvision, Inc. (“Microvision”); a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiary Lumera Corporation (“Lumera”), a Washington corporation, (collectively the “Company”). In July 2004, Microvision’s ownership interest in Lumera was reduced to 33% as a result of Lumera completing an initial public offering of its common stock. As a result of the reduction in ownership, Microvision changed to the equity method of accounting for its investment in Lumera. Microvision recorded a non-cash change in interest gain of $13.7 million during the third quarter. Because of uncertainty surrounding the ultimate realizability of the gain, the gain was recorded as an increase to stockholders' equity as a component of additional paid-in capital. In connection with the initial public offering, Microvision entered into a six month lock-up agreement. During the lock-up period, Microvision cannot sell or pledge as collateral its shares of Lumera common stock. As of September 30, 2004, Microvision owned 33% of Lumera’s common stock.

At December 31, 2003, Microvision owned 76% of the common stock, 11% of the Series A and 32% of the Series B convertible preferred stock of Lumera. During the period that Lumera was consolidated, Lumera’s losses were first allocated to its common shareholders until such losses exceeded its common equity and then to its preferred shareholders pro rata in accordance with their respective liquidation values. All material intercompany accounts and transactions were eliminated in consolidation.

Inventory

Inventory at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 consisted of the following:

	September 30, 2004		December 31, 2003
Raw materials	$	1,563,000	$	98,000
Work in process	192,000		—
Finished goods	1,026,000		233,000
	$	2,781,000	$	331,000

The inventory at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 consisted of raw materials, work in process and finished goods for Nomad and Flic. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on a weighted average basis. Management periodically assesses the need to provide for obsolescence of inventory and adjusts the carrying value of inventory to its net realizable value when required. In addition, Microvision reduces the value of its inventory to its estimated scrap value when management determines that it is not probable that the inventory will be consumed through normal production during the next twelve months. During the third quarter of 2004 Microvision wrote off $ 800,000 in inventory.

Convertible Preferred Stock

In September 2004, Microvision raised $10,000,000 before issuance costs of $90,000, from the sale of 10,000 shares of convertible preferred stock and a warrant to purchase 361,795 shares of common stock. The preferred stock is convertible on demand by the holder into common stock at a conversion price of $6.91 per share of common stock. The initial conversion price is subject to adjustment in the event Microvision issues common stock or derivative securities at a price per share of common stock below the market price or the conversion price of the preferred stock. In addition, upon the request of the preferred stockholder, Microvision is required to redeem the

preferred stock for cash in certain circumstances, including in the event of a material breach of representations, warranties or covenants under the purchase agreement or a change in control. Accordingly, Microvision has classified the preferred stock as “mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock” in its consolidated balance sheet. The preferred stock terms include a dividend of 3.5% per anum, payable quarterly in cash or registered common stock, at the election of the Company, subject to certain conditions. The preferred stock matures on September 10, 2007, at which time it is payable in cash or registered common stock, at the election of the Company, subject to certain conditions. Some of the conditions which would preclude the Company from paying in common stock are not within the Company’s immediate control. The Company can elect to convert the preferred stock into common stock if the stock price exceeds $12.09 per share, subject to certain conditions. The warrant is immediately exercisable, has an exercise price of $8.16 per share and expires on September 10, 2009. The initial exercise price is subject to adjustment in the event Microvision issues common stock or derivative securities at a price per share of common stock below the market price or the exercise price of the warrant.

The net cash proceeds of $9,910,000 were allocated to the preferred stock and the warrant based on the relative fair values of the securities. The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: expected volatility, 75%; risk free interest rate, 3.4; and contractual life five years. $1.3 million of the proceeds were allocated to the warrant and was recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital.

Subsequent to the relative fair value allocation, the effective conversion price of the convertible preferred stock was less than the closing price of Microvision’s common stock on the date of commitment to purchase the preferred stock. This beneficial conversion feature was measured as $1,181,000 which represents the difference between the fair value of the common stock and the effective conversion price. This beneficial conversion feature was recorded to additional paid-in capital and will be recorded as a deemed dividend to preferred stock holders (accretion) over the stated life of the preferred stock which is three years.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is calculated on the basis of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting periods. Diluted net loss per share is calculated on the basis of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and taking into account the dilutive effect of all potential common stock equivalents outstanding. Diluted net loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 is equal to basic net loss per share because the effect of potential common stock outstanding during the periods, including options and warrants, is anti-dilutive.

The components of basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows (in thousands, except earnings per share data):

	Three months ended September 30,						Nine months ended September 30,
	2004			2003			2004			2003
Numerator:
Net loss available for common shareholders	$	(10,094	)	$	(6,865	)	$	(25,296	)	$	(20,953	)

Basic and diluted net loss per share	$	(.47	)	$	(.39	)	$	(1.18	)	$	(1.22	)

As of September 30, 2004 and 2003, Microvision had outstanding options and warrants to purchase 6,898,000 and 6,513,000 shares of common stock, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation arrangements in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related amendments and interpretations including the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation Number (“FIN”) 44, “Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation,” and complies with the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 and Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 96-18.

Total non-cash stock-based compensation expense related to employee and director awards included in the determination of non-cash compensation expense was $95,000 and $28,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 respectively; and $893,000 and $101,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Had compensation expense for employee and director options been determined using the fair values at the grant dates consistent with the methodology prescribed under SFAS No. 123, the Company’s consolidated net loss available to common shareholders and associated net loss per share would have increased to the pro forma amounts shown below (in thousands):

Segment Information

The Company was previously organized into two segments - Microvision, which is engaged in the development and commercialization of scanned beam technology for information displays and image capture products, and Lumera, which is engaged in the development and commercialization of products utilizing its optical materials technology. The segments were determined based on how management views and evaluates the Company’s operations.

The following table reflects the results of the Company’s reportable segments under the Company’s financial management system. The performance of each segment is measured based on several metrics. These results are used, in part, by management in evaluating the performance of, and in allocation of resources to, each of the segments. As of July 2004, Lumera is no longer consolidated in Microvision’s consolidated financial statements. Therefore, Lumera is no longer a reportable segment. The segment information is provided for comparative purposes only.

Such statements may include, but are not limited to, projections of revenues, income or loss, capital expenditures, plans for product development and cooperative arrangements, future operations, financing needs or plans of Microvision, as well as assumptions relating to the foregoing. The words “believe,” “expect,” “will,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” “plan,” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statement was made. Factors that could cause results to differ materially from those projected or implied in the forward-looking statements are set forth below under the caption “Risk Factors Relating to Microvision’s Business.”

Overview

The company has historically included both Microvision, Inc. (“Microvision” or the “Company”) and Lumera Corporation (“Lumera”), a subsidiary that was consolidated prior to July 2004. In July 2004, Lumera completed an initial public offering of its common stock. Microvision designs and markets information display and image capture products, and Lumera designs and markets products utilizing its optical and related materials technology. Historically, Microvision and Lumera developed and sought to commercialize technologies and products in two business segments relating to the display, capture and transmission of information.

Microvision consolidated Lumera’s results through July 2004 in its consolidated financial statements. After July 2004, Microvision changed to the equity method of accounting for its investment in Lumera.

In connection with the Lumera initial public offering, all Lumera Series A and Series B Preferred Stock was converted into Lumera common stock. Immediately after the offering, Microvision owned 5,434,000 shares, or 33%, of the common stock of Lumera. As a result of the change in ownership percentage, Microvision changed the method of accounting for its investment in

Lumera to the equity method as a result of the initial public offering. Microvision recorded a non-cash change in ownership interest gain of $13.7 million to stockholders equity as a component of additional paid-in capital during the third quarter. In connection with the Lumera initial public offering, Microvision entered into a six month lock-up agreement during which period Microvision cannot sell or pledge as collateral its shares of Lumera common stock.

Microvision

Nomad

In March 2004, Microvision introduced a new version of the Nomad Expert Technician System (“Nomad”), a head worn, monochrome red, see-through display. The new version is about 40% smaller, lighter and costs less to manufacture than the prior version. Microvision has worked closely with automotive companies, including Honda Motor Company of North America, to develop the Nomad for automotive maintenance applications. In maintenance applications, the automotive technician uses the Nomad to provide repair instructions directly in his or her field of view while he or she is performing the repair. The Nomad is linked to a computer or thin client that, along with a wireless network card, allows the technician wireless access to service information. In trials, technicians using the Nomad have reported substantial time savings in performing repairs. There are over 850,000 automotive technicians in the United States who work in facilities that have, or can easily acquire, the digital content to take advantage of the Nomad display.

The U.S. Army has deployed 100 Nomad systems in the US Army’s Stryker Brigade Combat Team in Iraq. The helmet-mounted Nomad Augmented Vision System provides the vehicle commander with a head-up, daylight-readable, remote display of the Stryker’s onboard battlefield computer while operating from the commander’s hatch opening. The Nomad allows the commander to observe the surroundings, while choosing the optimum path ahead, commanding the vehicle and better using tactical information.

Microvision uses a contract manufacturer located in Washington state to build the Nomad. Microvision will distribute the Nomad directly to end customers through its sales force, through independent manufacturers’ representatives and through original equipment manufacturers.

Flic

In 2002, Microvision introduced Flic, a hand held bar code scanner. The Flic features a proprietary design that provides for lower power consumption and cost than other currently available bar code scanners. In 2003, Microvision introduced Flic Cordless, a Bluetooth enabled version of the Flic. During 2004, Microvision has worked with application developers to develop integrated solutions that utilize the Flic. Some of these integrated solutions are currently in trials with customers. Microvision expects the sales volume of Flic to grow as customers complete their trials and application developers release products incorporating Flic.

Flic is manufactured for Microvision by a contract manufacturer located in Batam, Indonesia. Microvision distributes Flic directly to end users through value added resellers, original equipment manufacturers and through phone and internet orders.

Other Applications

Microvision is continuing to develop prototype automotive head-up displays, electronic view finders, and image capture products. These prototypes demonstrate that scanned beam display technology can be used in different potential display and image capture products. Microvision believes that it can further develop these prototypes into products that will meet the customer’s specifications for size, brightness, image quality and cost. Microvision has continued development work on these potential products in 2004.

Results of Operations

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2003

Contract Revenue The Company earns contract revenue from performance on development contracts with the United States government and commercial customers. Contract revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2004 decreased by $366,000, or 15%, to $2.2 million from $2.5 million in the same period in 2003. For the three months ended September 30, 2004, 61% of contract revenue was derived from performance on development contracts with the United States government and 39% from performance on development contracts with commercial customers. For the three months ended September 30, 2003, 71% of contract revenue was derived from performance on development contracts with the United States government and 29% from performance on development contracts with commercial customers. Contract revenue included in Microvision’s consolidated financial statements for Lumera was $82,000 and $676,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Contract revenue is dependent upon the timing and volume of contracts the Company has entered into and the availability of technical resources to perform work on the contracts. Contract revenue was lower during the three months ended September 30, 2004 than the same period in 2003, due to lower beginning backlog fewer new contracts being executed and the need to reallocate resources to Nomad product support.

The Company believes that, as long as most of its revenue is earned from performance on development contracts, there may be a high degree of variability in revenue from quarter to quarter.

Microvision’s backlog of development contracts at September 30, 2004 was $2.9 million. All development contracts in backlog are scheduled for completion and delivery during the next twelve months. Microvision’s backlog of development contracts at September 30, 2003 was $1.4 million

Product Revenue. Historically, all of the product revenue has been generated by Microvision. Microvision earns product revenue from sales of Nomad and Flic. Product revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2004 increased by $530,000, or 1,262%, to $572,000 from $42,000 in the same period in 2003. For the three months ended September 30, 2004, 61% of product revenue was derived from the sales of Flic units and 39% from sales of Nomad units. For the three months ended September 30, 2003, 66% of product revenue was derived from the sales of Flic units and 34% from the sales of Nomad units. The increase in Flic revenue is attributable to increased sales of Flic units. Microvision introduced a new version of Nomad during the first quarter of 2004. The increase in Nomad sales is attributable to sales of Nomad units to automotive dealerships for use in repair and maintenance applications.

Microvision believes that product revenue will increase from both Flic and Nomad sales as the products gain market acceptance. Quarterly revenue may vary substantially due to the timing of product orders from customers, production constraints and raw material availability.

The backlog of product orders at September 30, 2004 was approximately $280,000, all of which is scheduled for delivery during the next twelve months.

Cost of Contract Revenue. Cost of contract revenue includes both the direct and allocated indirect costs of performing on development contracts. Direct costs include labor, materials and other costs incurred directly in performing on a contract. Indirect costs include labor and other costs associated with operating the Company’s research and development department and building the Company’s technical capabilities and capacity. Cost of contract revenue is determined both by the level of direct costs incurred on development contracts and by the level of indirect costs incurred in operating and building the Company’s technical capabilities and capacity. The cost of contract revenue can fluctuate substantially from period to period depending on the level of both the direct costs incurred in the performance of projects and the level of indirect costs incurred.

Cost of contract revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2004 increased by $111,000, or 8%, to $1.6 million from $1.5 million in the same period in 2003. Cost of contract revenue included in Microvision’s consolidated financial statements for Lumera was $52,000 and $373,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Total direct costs for the three months ended September 30, 2004 increased by 7% from the same period in 2003. The total direct labor component of direct costs for the three months ended September 30, 2004 increased by 22% from the same period in 2003. The Company experienced unplanned technical difficulties on one project. As a result of the difficulties more direct costs than planned were incurred in completing the project resulting in a lower gross margin during the three months ended September 30, 2004 than the same period in 2003.

Research and development overhead is allocated to both cost of contract revenue and research and development expense based on the proportion of direct labor cost incurred in cost of contract revenue and research and development, respectively. As a result of the higher direct labor cost in cost of revenue partially off set by the effect of a lower overhead rate for the three months ended September 30, 2004, approximately 2% more overhead was allocated to cost of revenue than in the same period in 2003.

Microvision expects that cost of contract revenue on an absolute dollar basis may increase in the future. This increase will likely result from additional development contract work that Microvision expects to perform. The cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue can fluctuate significantly from period to period, depending on the contract and contract cost mix and the levels of direct and indirect costs incurred. Microvision expects the cost of contract revenue, as a percentage of contract revenue, to fluctuate modestly over time.

Cost of Product Revenue. Cost of product revenue includes both the direct and allocated indirect costs of manufacturing Nomads and Flics sold to customers. Direct costs include labor, materials and other costs incurred directly in the manufacture of Flic and Nomad. Indirect costs include labor and other costs associated with operating Microvision manufacturing capabilities and capacity.

Cost of product revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2004 increased by $856,000 or 2,853%, to $886,000 from $30,000 in the same period in 2003.

Cost of product revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2004 includes the write off of $388,000 of Flic inventory. The write off’s were due to changes in product design and customer demand that caused components and accessories to become obsolete or slow moving. Microvision values inventory at the lower of cost or market. Microvision also reduces the value of its inventory to its estimated scrap value when management determines that it is not probable that the inventory will be utilized through normal production during the next 12 months.

Microvision’s costs to produce Nomad units during the three months ended September 30, 2004 were substantially higher than product revenue. Microvision has classified Nomad production cost in excess of Nomad product revenue as research and development expense. Microvision expects Nomad production and the design and manufacturing processes to become sufficiently mature to support “commercial production” as described in SFAS No. 2 “Accounting for Research and Development Costs” in the fourth quarter of 2004 at which time production cost will be fully absorbed in cost of product revenue. Microvision expects product cost to exceed product revenue during the fourth quarter of 2004 and possibly longer.

Manufacturing overhead is allocated to inventory, cost of product revenue, cost of contract revenue, and research and development expense based on the proportion of direct material purchased for the respective activity.

Microvision expects that cost of product revenue on an absolute dollar basis will increase in the future. This increase will likely result from expected sales of commercial products. The cost of product revenue as a percentage of product revenue can fluctuate significantly from period to period, depending on the product mix, the level of overhead expense and the volume of direct materials purchased.

Research and Development Expense. Research and development expense consists of:

• Compensation related costs of employees and contractors engaged in internal research and product development activities,

• Research fees paid to the University of Washington under Sponsored Research Agreement for Lumera,

• Laboratory operations, outsourced development and processing work,

• Fees and expenses related to patent applications, prosecution and protection,

• Nomad production cost in excess of Nomad revenue

• Other operating expenses and

• Costs incurred in acquiring and maintaining licenses.

Research and development expense in the three months ended September 30, 2004 decreased by $858,000, or 16%, to $4.7 million from $5.5 million in the same period in 2003. Research and development expense included in Microvision’s consolidated financial statements for Lumera was $623,000 and $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Microvision believes that a substantial level of continuing research and development expense will be required to develop additional commercial products using the scanned beam display technology. Accordingly, Microvision anticipates its level of research and development spending will continue to be substantial. These expenses could be incurred as a result of:

• Subcontracting work to development partners,

• Expanding and equipping in-house laboratories,

• Acquiring rights to additional technologies,

• Incurring related operating expenses, and

• Hiring additional technical and support personnel.

Marketing, General and Administrative Expense. Marketing, general and administrative expenses include compensation and support costs for sales, marketing, management and administrative staff, and for other general and administrative costs, including legal and accounting services, consultants and other operating expenses.

Marketing, general and administrative expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2004 increased by $1.1 million, or 31%, to $4.7 million from $3.6 million in the same period in 2003. Marketing, general and administrative expense included in Microvision’s consolidated financial statements for Lumera was $242,000 and $267,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Microvision’s increase is attributable to increased sales and marketing costs for the Nomad product. Microvision’s increased costs included salaries, travel and promotion costs directly related to Nomad sales activity.

Microvision expects marketing, general and administrative expenses to increase, commensurate with increases in revenue, in future periods as Microvision:

• Adds to its sales and marketing staff,

• Makes additional investments in sales and marketing activities, and

• Increases the level of corporate and administrative activity.

Non-Cash Compensation Expense. Non-cash compensation expense in the three months ended September 30, 2004 decreased $332,000, or 61%, to $212,000 from $544,000 in the same period in 2003.

The following table shows the major components of non-cash compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

	Three months ended September 30,
	2004		2003
Microvision securities issued to third parties	152,000		253,000
Microvision stock options issued to employees	9,000		25,000
Microvision options issued to non-management Directors	20,000		1,000
Lumera non-cash compensation expense	31,000		265,000
	$	212,000	$	544,000

At September 30, 2004, Microvision had $462,000 of unamortized non-cash compensation expense that will be amortized over the next three years.

Interest Income and Expense. Interest income in the three months ended September 30, 2004 decreased by $33,000, or 43%, to $43,000 from $76,000 in the same period in 2003. This decrease resulted primarily from lower average cash and investment securities balances in the three months ended September 30, 2004 than the average cash and investment securities balances in the same period of the prior year.

Non-cash Beneficial Conversion Feature of Preferred Stock. In September 2004, Microvision raised $10.0 million before issuance costs of $90,000 from the sale of 10,000 shares of convertible preferred stock and a warrant to purchase 361,795 shares of common stock. The preferred stock is convertible on demand by the holder into common stock at a conversion price of $6.91 per share of common stock. The initial conversion price is subject to adjustment in the event Microvision issues common stock or derivative securities at a price per share of common stock below the market price or the conversion price of the preferred stock. In addition, upon the request of the preferred stockholder, Microvision is required to redeem the preferred stock for cash in certain circumstances, including in the event of a material breach of our representations, warranties or covenants under the purchase agreement or a change in control. Accordingly, Microvision has classified the preferred stock as “mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock” in its consolidated balance sheet.

The preferred stock terms include a dividend of 3.5% per anum, payable quarterly in cash or registered common stock, at the election of the Company, subject to certain conditions. The preferred stock matures on September 10, 2007, at which time it is payable in cash or registered common stock, at the election of the Company, subject to certain conditions. Some of the conditions which would preclude the Company from paying in common stock are not within the Company’s immediate control. The Company can elect to convert the preferred stock into common stock if the common stock price exceeds $12.09 per share, subject to certain conditions. The warrant is immediately exercisable and has an exercise price of $8.16 per share and expires on September 10, 2009. The initial exercise price is subject to adjustment in the event we issue common stock or derivative securities at a price per share of common stock below the market price or the exercise price of the warrant.

Subsequent to the relative fair value allocation, the effective conversion price of the convertible preferred stock was less than the closing price of Microvision’s common stock on the date of commitment to purchase the preferred stock. This beneficial conversion feature was measured as $1.2 million, which represents the difference between the fair value of the common stock and the effective conversion price. This beneficial conversion feature was recorded to additional paid-in capital and will be recorded as a deemed dividend to preferred stock holders (accretion) over the stated life of the preferred stock which is three years.

Results of Operations

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2003

Contract Revenue. Contract revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2004 decreased by approximately $4.0 million, or 39%, to $6.3 million from $10.3 million in the same period in 2003. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, 57% of contract revenue was derived from performance on development contracts with the United States government and 43% from performance on development contracts with commercial customers. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, 58% of revenue was derived from performance on development contracts with the United States government, and 42% from performance on development contracts with commercial customers. Contract revenue included in Microvision’s consolidated financial

statements for Lumera was $686,000 and $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

In May 2004, Microvision entered into a $3.9 million contract modification with the U.S. Army’s Aviation Applied Technology Directorate to continue work on an advanced helmet mounted display and imaging system to be used in the Virtual Cockpit Optimization Program

Contract revenue is dependant upon the timing and volume of contracts the Company has entered into and the availability of technical resources to perform work on the contracts. Contract revenue was lower during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 than the same period in 2003, due to lower begining backlog, fewer new contracts being executed and the need to allocate resources to Nomad product support.

Product Revenue. Historically, all of the product revenue has been generated by Microvision. Product revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2004 increased by $1.5 million, or 467%, to $1.8 million from $323,000 in the same period in 2003. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, 78% of product revenue was derived from the sales of Flic units and 22% from the sales of Nomad units, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, 49% of product revenue was derived from the sales of Flic units and 51% from the sales of Nomad units, respectively.

Cost of Contract Revenue. Cost of contract revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 decreased by $848,000, or 18%, to $4.0 million from $4.8 million in the same period in 2003. Cost of contract revenue included in Microvision’s consolidated financial statements for Lumera was $433,000 and $756,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Total direct costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 decreased by 16% from the same period in 2003. The total direct labor component of direct costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 decreased by 17% from the same period in 2003. The Company experienced unplanned technical difficulties on one project. As a result of the difficulties, more direct costs than planned were incurred in completing the project resulting in a lower gross margin during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 than the same period in 2003.

Research and development overhead is allocated to both cost of contract revenue and research and development expense based on the proportion of direct labor cost incurred in cost of contract revenue and research and development, respectively. As a result of the lower direct labor cost in cost of revenue and a lower overhead rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, approximately 24% less overhead was allocated to cost of revenue than in the same period in 2003.

Cost of Product Revenue. Cost of product revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 increased by $1.9 million, or 671%, to $2.2 million from $284,000 in the same period in 2003.

Cost of product revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 includes the write off of $497,000 of Flic inventory. The write off’s were due to changes in product design and customer demand that cause components and accessories to become obsolete or slow moving. Microvision values inventory at the lower of cost or market. Microvision also reduces the value of its inventory to its estimated scrap value when management determines that it is not probable that the inventory will be utilized through normal production during the next 12 months.

Microvision’s costs to produce Nomad units during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 were substantially higher than product revenue. Microvision has classified Nomad production cost in excess of Nomad product revenue as research and development expense. The Company does not expect Nomad production and the design and manufacturing processes to become sufficiently mature to support “commercial production” as described in SFAS No. 2 “Accounting for Research and Development Costs” in the fourth quarter of 2004 at which time production cost will be fully absorbed in cost of product revenue. Microvision expects product cost to exceed product revenue during the fourth quarter of 2004 and possibly longer.

Research and Development Expense. Research and development expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2004 decreased by $5.8 million, or 31%, to $12.6 million from $18.4 million in the same period in 2003. Research and development expense included in Microvision’s consolidated financial statements for Lumera was $1.1 million and $5.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

In April 2004, Lumera and the University of Washington entered into a fourth amendment to the Sponsored Research Agreement that requires payments of $125,000 for quarters ending March 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004 and eliminates the contingent payment of $2.0 million. For each of the quarters ending September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2004, Lumera is required to pay $250,000. The agreement will terminate in 2005 after payments of $375,000 are made in quarters ending March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005. Total payments under the Sponsored Research Agreement will be $5.8 million instead of the original $9.0 million. Lumera recognizes research and development expense under the Sponsored Research Agreement on a straight line basis over the term of the agreement. At the time of the fourth amendment to the Sponsored Research Agreement, Lumera had recognized $6.5 million in expense related to the Sponsored Research Agreement. In April 2004, Lumera recorded a reduction in its liability and an offsetting reduction in expense of $2.4 million to reduce the cumulative expense recognized under the Sponsored Research Agreement to the expense incurred under the fourth amendment on a straight line basis.

Research and development expense in 2003 include $645,000 for the closure of Microvision’s research and development facility in San Mateo, California. Microvision consolidated its research and development activities in Bothell, Washington in May 2003.

Marketing, General and Administrative Expense. Marketing, general and administrative expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2004 increased by $2.2 million, or 18%, to $14.5 million from $12.3 million in the same period in 2003. The increase is primarily attributable to increased sales and marketing costs for the Nomad product. The increased costs have included salaries, travel and promotion costs directly related Nomad sales activity. Marketing, general and administrative expense for Lumera included in Microvision’s consolidated financial statements was $1.4 million and $887,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Non-Cash Compensation Expense. Non-cash compensation expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2004 increased by $367,000, or 25%, to $1.8 million from $1.5 million in the same period in 2003.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, Lumera granted options to purchase 415,000 shares of Class A common stock to Lumera employees and directors with a weighted-average exercise price of $2.00. Lumera determined that the fair market value of its common stock was $3.35 per share on the grant date. Lumera recorded an aggregate charge of $216,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2004 related to these grants as the exercise price was deemed to be below the fair value of the common stock. In addition, Microvision recorded amortization of deferred stock-based compensation of $278,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2004 related to Lumera’s option grants to employees and its Board of Directors.

In July 2004, Lumera revised its estimate of the fair value of its common stock. This revision resulted in an adjustment to Lumera’s stock based compensation charge during the first quarter of 2004 of $305,000. Microvision recorded this revision to the consolidated non-cash compensation expense amount during the second quarter of 2004. The net impact to the consolidated net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2004 was to increase the net loss by $39,000.

The following table shows the major components of non-cash compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

	Nine months ended September 30,
	2004		2003
Microvision securities issued to third parties	461,000		595,000
Microvision stock options issued to employees	45,000		96,000
Microvision stock and options issued to non-management directors	25,000		1,000
Lumera non-cash compensation expense	1,297,000		769,000
	$	1,828,000	$	1,461,000

Interest Income and Expense. Interest income in the nine months ended September 30, 2004 decreased by $66,000, or 23%, to $224,000 from $290,000 in the same period in 2003. This decrease resulted primarily from lower average cash and investment securities balances in the nine months ended September 30, 2004 than the average cash and investment securities balances in the same period of the prior year.

Interest expense increased due to interest expense on Lumera’s $2.3 million promissory notes.

Non-cash Beneficial Conversion Feature of Preferred Stock. In September 2004, Microvision raised $10.0 million before issuance costs of $90,000 from the sale of 10,000 shares convertible preferred stock and a warrant to purchase 361,795 shares of common stock. The preferred stock is convertible on demand by the holder into common stock at a conversion rate of $6.91 per common stock. The initial conversion price is subject to adjustment in the event Microvision issues common stock or derivative securities at a price per share of common stock below the market price or the conversion price of the preferred stock. In addition, upon the request of the preferred stockholder, Microvision is required to redeem the preferred stock for cash in certain circumstances including in the event of a material breach of our representations, warranties or covenants under the purchase agreement or a change in control. Accordingly, Microvision has classified the preferred stock as “mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock” in its consolidated balance sheet.

The preferred stock terms include a dividend of 3.5% per anum, payable quarterly in cash or registered common stock, at the election of the Company, subject to certain conditions. The preferred stock matures on September 10, 2007, at which time it is payable in cash or registered common stock, at the election of the Company, subject to certain conditions. Some of the conditions which would preclude the Company from paying in common stock are not within the Company’s immediate control. The Company can elect to convert the preferred stock into common stock if the common stock price exceeds $12.09 per share, subject to certain conditions. The warrant is immediately exercisable, has an exercise price of $8.16 per share and expires on September 10, 2009. The initial exercise price is subject to adjustment in the event we issue common stock or derivative securities at a price per share of common stock below the market price or the exercise price of the warrant.

Subsequent to the relative fair value allocation, the effective conversion price of the convertible preferred stock was less than the closing price of Microvision’s common stock on the date of commitment to purchase the preferred stock. This beneficial conversion feature was measured as $1.2 million, which represents the difference between the fair value of the common stock and the effective conversion price. This beneficial conversion feature was recorded to additional paid in capital and will be recorded as a deemed dividend to preferred stockholders (accretion) over the stated life of the preferred stock which is three years.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has funded operations to date primarily through the sale of common stock, convertible preferred stock, warrants and, to a lesser extent, from development contract revenues and product sales. At September 30, 2004, Microvision had $8.8 million in cash and cash equivalents.

Microvision believes that its current cash and cash equivalents balance as of September 30, 2004 totaling $8.8 million will satisfy its budgeted cash requirements to the middle of January 2005 based on its current operating plan. Microvision will require additional financing to fund its current operating plan beyond the middle of January 2005. Microvision plans to raise additional cash to continue to fund its operating plan past that date. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to Microvision or that, if available, it will be available on terms acceptable to Microvision on a timely basis. If adequate funds are not available to satisfy either short-term or long-term capital requirements, Microvision will be required to limit its operations substantially. This limitation of operations may include reduction in capital expenditures, as well as reductions in staff and operating costs.

Cash used in operating activities totaled $23.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2004, compared to $20.5 million during the same period in 2003. Cash used in operating activities for each period resulted primarily from the net loss for the period.

• “Inventory” increased by $2.5 million to $2.8 million at September 30, 2004 from $331,000 at December 31, 2003. The increase was primarily attributable to purchases of raw materials to produce Nomad. The Company made commitments to purchase certain minimum quantities of inventory at the start of Nomad production. Microvision has taken delivery of most of this inventory and plans for inventory as a percent of revenue to decline as the Nomad product revenue is expected to increase. The Company values inventory at the lower of cost or market with cost determined on a weighted average cost basis. The following table shows the composition of the inventory at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively:

	September 30, 2004		December 31, 2003
Raw materials	$	1,563,000	$	98,000
Work in process	192,000		—
Finished goods	1,026,000		233,000
	$	2,781,000	$	331,000

• “Investment in Lumera” In July 2004, Lumera completed an initial public offering of its common stock. In connection with the offering, all Lumera Series A and Series B Preferred Stock was converted to Lumera common stock. Immediately after the offering, Microvision owned 5,434,000 shares, or 33%, of the common stock of Lumera. As a result of the change in ownership percentage, Microvision has changed the method of accounting for its investment in Lumera to the equity method. Under the equity method,Microvision recorded it ownership interest in the net book value of Lumera immediately following the initial public offering as an investment in equity subsidiary of $11.9 million. Microvision records its pro rata share of Lumera’s income or loss as an adjustment in the value of its investment in Lumera. Microvision recorded a non-cash change in ownership interest gain of $13.7 million to stockholders equity as a component of additional paid-in capital during the third quarter as a result of the public offering. In connection with the Lumera initial public offering, Microvision entered into a six month lock-up agreement during which period, Microvision cannot sell or pledge as collateral its shares of Lumera common stock.

• “Property and equipment, net” decreased $3.2 million to $2.8 million at September 30, 2004 from $6.0 million at December 31, 2003. The decline is principally due to the deconsolidation of Lumera in July 2004. Lumera had $2.2 million in net property and equipment at the time of the deconsolidation. Depreciation expense accounts for the remaining decrease.

• “Accounts Payable” increased $1.4 million to $2.6 million at September 30, 2004 from $1.2 million at December 31, 2003. The increase in Accounts Payable is directly attributable to the increase in inventory.

• “Research liability” decreased $1.9 million to $0 at September 30, 2004 from $1.9 million at December 31, 2003. In April 2004, Lumera and the University of Washington entered into a fourth amendment to the Sponsored Research Agreement that requires payments of $125,000 for the quarters ending March 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004 and eliminates a contingent payment of $2.0 million. For each of the quarters ending September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2004 Lumera is required to pay $250,000. The agreement will terminate in 2005 after payments of $375,000 are made in each of the quarters ending March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005. Total payments under the Sponsored Research Agreement will be $5.8 million instead of the original $9.0 million. Lumera recognizes research and development expense under the

Sponsored Research Agreement on a straight line basis over the remaining term of the agreement. At the time of the fourth amendment to the Sponsored Research Agreement, Lumera had recognized $6.5 million in cumulative expense related to the Sponsored Research Agreement. In April 2004, Lumera recorded a reduction in its liability and an offsetting reduction in expense of $2.4 million to reduce the cumulative expense recognized under the Sponsored Research Agreement to the expense incurred under the fourth amendment on a straight line basis. As a result of the deconsolidation of Lumera, this liability is no longer included in Microvision’s consolidated financial statements.

Cash provided by investing activities totaled $10.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2004, compared to $2.3 million during the same period of 2003. During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Company had net sales of investment securities of $11.1 million compared to $3.2 million during the same period in 2003. The proceeds from the sales of investment securities were used to fund the Company’s operations.

The Company used cash of $925,000 for capital expenditures during the nine months ended September 30, 2004, compared to $1.0 million during the same period in 2003. Capital expenditures include leasehold improvements to leased office space and computer hardware and software, laboratory equipment and furniture and fixtures to support operations.

Cash provided by financing activities totaled $13.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2004, compared to $12.5 million during the same period in 2003.

In March 2004 Lumera raised $500,000, before issuance costs, from the sale of 250,000 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock to a group of private investors. Microvision did not participate in the offering.

In April 2004, Lumera raised $2.3 million from the issuance of convertible promissory notes. The notes accrue interest at a rate of 6.5% per annum and are payable on demand upon the closing of an underwritten public offering of Lumera’s common stock. Lumera completed an initial public offering in July 2004. The principal amount and any accrued but unpaid interest in respect of each note is convertible at any time, at the option of the holder, into shares of Lumera’s Class A common stock. The conversion price is $6.00 per share of common stock. In connection with the sale of these convertible notes, Lumera also issued warrants to purchase shares of common stock. The number of shares is based on a formula based on the exercise price of the warrant and the face amount of the holder’s convertible note. The exercise price of the warrants is equal to $7.20 per share. All of the warrants are exercisable on the date of grant and expire in April 2009. The value of the warrants granted was estimated to be approximately $344,000 using the Black Scholes option pricing model. The relative fair value of the warrants of $299,000 will be treated as a debt issuance cost and is being amortized to interest expense over the one year term of the convertible notes.

In July 2004, Lumera raised $42.0 million before issuance costs of $4.3 million from an initial public offering. In connection with the offering, all Lumera Series A and Series B Preferred Stock was converted to Lumera common stock. Immediately after the offering Microvision owned 5,434,000 shares or 33% of the common stock of Lumera. As a result of the change in ownership percentage, Microvision has changed the method of accounting for its investment in Lumera to the equity method.

Additionally, as described above, Microvision raised $10.0 million before issuance costs from the sale of 10,000 shares of mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock and a warrant to purchase 361,795 shares of common stock in September 2004.

Future operating expenditures and capital requirements will depend on numerous factors, including the following:

• The progress of research and development programs,

• The progress in commercialization activities and arrangements,

• The cost of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property rights,

• Competing technological and market developments, and

• Microvision’s ability to establish cooperative development, joint venture and licensing arrangements.

Risk Factors Relating to the Microvision Business

We have a history of operating losses and expect to incur significant losses in the future.

We have had substantial losses since our inception and we anticipate an operating loss at least through the year ending December 31, 2005. We cannot assure you that we will ever become or remain profitable.

• As of September 30, 2004, we had an accumulated deficit of $179.5 million.

• We incurred consolidated net losses of $100.9 million from inception through 2001, $27.2 million in 2002, $26.2 million in 2003, and $25.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.

The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the expenses, difficulties and delays frequently encountered by companies formed to develop and market new technologies. In particular, our operations to date have focused primarily on research and development of the scanned beam technology and development of demonstration units. We introduced our first two commercial products during 2002. We are unable to accurately estimate future revenues and operating expenses based upon historical performance.

We cannot be certain that we will succeed in obtaining additional development contracts or that we will be able to obtain substantial customer orders for our products. In light of these factors, we expect to continue to incur substantial losses and negative cash flow at least through mid 2005 and likely thereafter. We cannot be certain that we will achieve positive cash flow at any time in the future.

We will require additional capital to continue to fund our operations and to implement our business plan. If we do not obtain additional capital, we may be required to limit our operations substantially. Raising additional capital may dilute the value of current shareholders’ shares.

Based on our current operating plan and budgeted cash requirements, we believe that we can fund our operations to the middle of January 2005. We will require additional capital to continue to fund our operations, including to:

• Further develop the scanned beam,

• Add manufacturing capacity,

• Develop and protect our intellectual property rights, and

• Fund long-term business development opportunities.

We will require additional capital prior to the middle of January 2005. If revenues are less than we anticipate, if the level and mix of revenues vary from anticipated amounts and allocations or if expenses exceed the amounts budgeted, we may require additional capital earlier to further the development of our technologies, for expenses associated with product development, and to respond to competitive pressures or to meet unanticipated development difficulties. In addition, our operating plan provides for the development of strategic relationships with systems and equipment manufacturers that may require additional investments by us. Additional financing may not be available to us or, if available, may not be available on terms acceptable to us on a timely basis. If adequate funds are not available to satisfy either short-term or long-term capital requirements, we may be required to limit our operations substantially. Our capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, the rate at which we can, directly or through arrangements with original equipment manufacturers, introduce products incorporating

the scanned beam and optical material technologies and the market acceptance and competitive position of such products. Raising additional capital may involve issuing securities with rights and preferences that are senior to our common stock and may dilute the value of current shareholders’ shares.

Our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may adversely impact our common stockholders or limit our ability to obtain additional financing.

We have issued shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred”). The Series A Preferred has a liquidation preference in the amount of $10 million plus accrued and unpaid dividends, which must be paid before common stockholders would receive funds in the event of a liquidation. The Series A Preferred has antidilution protection that provides that each share of Series A Preferred will become convertible into a greater number of shares of our common stock if we issue common stock or derivative securities at a price per share of common stock below the market price or the conversion price of the Series A Preferred. In addition, we are required to redeem the shares of Series A Preferred for cash in certain circumstances, including in the event of a material breach of our representations or covenants under the purchase agreement or a change in control. We are required to redeem the Series A Preferred on September 10, 2007 for cash or our common stock, at our election under certain conditions. Our ability to redeed the Series A preferred for our common stock is subject to certain conditions outside our immediate control. We have also agreed not to issue equity securities senior to, or greater than $10 million of equity securities on par with the Series A Preferred until March 10, 2005, and we have agreed to limit the debt we may incur. These limitations could materially and adversely affect our ability to raise funds necessary to continue our business.

We cannot be certain that the scanned beam technology or products incorporating this technology will achieve market acceptance. If the scanned beam technology does not achieve market acceptance, our revenues may not grow.

Our success will depend in part on customer acceptance of the scanned beam technology. The scanned beam technology may not be accepted by manufacturers who use display technologies in their products, by systems integrators who incorporate our products into their products or by consumers of these products. To be accepted, the scanned beam technology must meet the expectations of our potential customers in the defense, industrial, medical and consumer markets. If our technology fails to achieve market acceptance, we may not be able to continue to develop the scanned beam technology.

It may become more difficult to sell our stock in the public market.

Our common stock is listed for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market. To keep our listing on this market, we must meet Nasdaq’s listing maintenance standards. If we are unable to continue to meet Nasdaq’s listing maintenance standards, our common stock could be delisted from the Nasdaq National Market. If our common stock were delisted, we likely would seek to list the common stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the American Stock Exchange or on a regional stock exchange. Listing on such other market or exchange could reduce the liquidity for our common stock. If our common stock were not listed on the SmallCap Market or an exchange,

trading of our common stock would be conducted in the over-the-counter market on an electronic bulletin board established for unlisted securities or directly through market makers in our common stock. If our common stock were to trade in the over-the-counter market, an investor would find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations for the price of, the common stock. A delisting from the Nasdaq National Market and failure to obtain listing on such other market or exchange would subject our securities to so-called penny stock rules that impose additional sales practice and market-making requirements on broker-dealers who sell or make a market in such securities. Consequently, removal from the Nasdaq National Market and failure to obtain listing on another market or exchange could affect the ability or willingness of broker-dealers to sell or make a market in our common stock and the ability of purchasers of our common stock to sell their securities in the secondary market. In addition, when the market price of our common stock is less than $5.00 per share, we become subject to penny stock rules even if our common stock is still listed on the Nasdaq National Market. While the penny stock rules should not affect the quotation of our common stock on the Nasdaq National Market, these rules may further limit the market liquidity of our common stock and the ability of investors to sell our common stock in the secondary market. During the second, third and fourth quarters of 2002, the first and second quarter of 2003, and the third quarter of 2004, the market price of our stock traded below $5.00 per share. On November 1, 2004 the closing price of our stock was $5.33.

Our lack of the financial and technical resources relative to our competitors may limit our revenues, potential profits and overall market share.

Our current products and potential future products will compete with established manufacturers of existing products and companies developing new technologies. Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial, technical and other resources than us. Because of their greater resources, our competitors may develop products or technologies that are superior to our own. The introduction of superior competing products or technologies could result in reduced revenues, lower margins or loss of market share, any of which could reduce the value of our business.

We may not be able to keep up with rapid technological change and our financial results may suffer.

The information display industry has been characterized by rapidly changing technology, accelerated product obsolescence and continuously evolving industry standards. Our success will depend upon our ability to further develop the scanned beam technology and to cost effectively introduce new products and features in a timely manner to meet evolving customer requirements and compete with competitors’ product advances.

We may not succeed in these efforts because of:

• delays in product development,

• lack of market acceptance for our products, or

• lack of funds to invest in product development and marketing.

The occurrence of any of the above factors could result in decreased revenues and market share.

We could face lawsuits related to our use of the scanned beam technology or other technologies. Defending these suits would be costly and time consuming. An adverse outcome in any such matter could limit our ability to commercialize our technology and products, reduce our revenues and increase our operating expenses.

We are aware of several patents held by third parties that relate to certain aspects of scanned beam displays and image capture products. These patents could be used as a basis to challenge the validity, limit the scope or limit our ability to obtain additional or broader patent rights of our patents or patents we have licensed. A successful challenge to the validity of our patents or patents we have licensed could limit our ability to commercialize the scanned beam technology and other technologies and, consequently, materially reduce our revenues. Moreover, we cannot be certain that patent holders or other third parties will not claim infringement by us with respect to current and future technology. Because U.S. patent applications are held and examined in secrecy, it is also possible that presently pending U.S. applications will eventually be issued with claims that will be infringed by our products or the scanned beam technology. The defense and prosecution of a patent suit would be costly and time consuming, even if the outcome were ultimately favorable to us. An adverse outcome in the defense of a patent suit could subject us to significant cost, to require others and us to cease selling products that incorporate scanned beam technology, to cease licensing scanned beam technology or to require disputed rights to be licensed from third parties. Such licenses, if available, would increase our operating expenses. Moreover, if claims of infringement are asserted against our future co-development partners or customers, those partners or customers may seek indemnification from us for damages or expenses they incur.

Our planned future products are dependent on advances in technology by other companies.

We rely on and will continue to rely on technologies, such as light sources and optical components that are developed and produced by other companies. The commercial success of certain of our planned future products will depend in part on advances in these and other technologies by other companies. Due to the current business environment, many companies that are developing new technologies are reducing expenditures on research and development. This may delay the development and commercialization of components we would use to manufacture certain of our planned future products.

Our products may be subject to future health and safety regulations that could increase our development and production costs.

Products incorporating scanned beam display technology could become subject to new health and safety regulations that would reduce our ability to commercialize the scanned beam display technology. Compliance with any such new regulations would likely increase our cost to develop and produce products using the scanned beam display technology and adversely affect our financial results.

If we cannot manufacture products at competitive prices, our financial results will be adversely affected.

To date, we have produced limited quantities of Nomad and Flic, and demonstration units for research, development and demonstration purposes. The cost per unit for these units currently exceeds the level at which we could expect to profitably sell these products. If we cannot lower our cost of production, we may face increased demands on our financial resources, possibly requiring additional equity and/or debt financing to sustain our business operations.

Our future growth will suffer if we do not achieve sufficient market acceptance of our products to compete effectively.

Our success depends, in part, on our ability to gain acceptance of our current and future products by a large number of customers. Achieving market-based acceptance for our products will require marketing efforts and the expenditure of financial and other resources to create product awareness and demand by potential customers. We may be unable to offer products consistently or at all that compete effectively with products of others on the basis of price or performance. Failure to achieve broad acceptance of our products by potential customers and to effectively compete would have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

Because we plan to continue using foreign contract manufacturers, our operating results could be harmed by economic, political, regulatory and other factors existing in foreign countries.

We currently use a contract manufacturer in Asia to manufacture Flic, and we plan to continue using foreign manufacturers to manufacture some of our products where appropriate. These international operations are subject to inherent risks, which may adversely affect us, including:

• political and economic instability;

• high levels of inflation, historically the case in a number of countries in Asia;

• burdens and costs of compliance with a variety of foreign laws;

• foreign taxes; and

• changes in tariff rates or other trade and monetary policies.

If we experience delays or failures in developing commercially viable products, we may have lower revenues.

We began production of the current version of Nomad in the first quarter of 2004. In September 2002, we introduced Flic. In addition, we have developed demonstration units incorporating the scanned beam technology. However, we must undertake additional research, development and testing before we are able to develop additional products for commercial sale. Product

development delays by us or our potential product development partners, or the inability to enter into relationships with these partners, may delay or prevent us from introducing products for commercial sale.

If we cannot supply products in commercial quantities, we will not achieve commercial success.

We are developing our capability to manufacture products in commercial quantities. Our success depends in part on our ability to provide our components and future products in commercial quantities at competitive prices. Accordingly, we will be required to obtain access, through business partners or contract manufacturers, to manufacturing capacity and processes for the commercial production of our expected future products. We cannot be certain that we will successfully obtain access to sufficient manufacturing resources. Future manufacturing limitations of our suppliers could result in a limitation on the number of products incorporating our technology that we are able to produce.

If our licensors and we are unable to obtain effective intellectual property protection for our products and technology, we may be unable to compete with other companies.

Intellectual property protection for our products is important and uncertain. If we do not obtain effective intellectual property protection for our products, processes and technology, we may be subject to increased competition. Our commercial success will depend in part on our ability and the ability of the University of Washington and our other licensors to maintain the proprietary nature of the scanned beam display and other key technologies by securing valid and enforceable patents and effectively maintaining unpatented technology as trade secrets. We try to protect our proprietary technology by seeking to obtain United States and foreign patents in our name, or licenses to third-party patents, related to proprietary technology, inventions, and improvements that may be important to the development of our business. However, our patent position and the patent position of the University of Washington and other licensors involve complex legal and factual questions. The standards that the United States Patent and Trademark Office and its foreign counterparts use to grant patents are not always applied predictably or uniformly and can change. Additionally, the scope of patents are subject to interpretation by courts and their validity can be subject to challenges and defenses, including challenges and defenses based on the existence of prior art. Consequently, we cannot be certain as to the extent to which we will be able to obtain patents for our new products and technology or the extent to which the patents that we already own or license from others protect our products and technology. Reduction in scope of protection or invalidation of our licensed or owned patents, or our inability to obtain new patents, may enable other companies to develop products that compete with ours on the basis of the same or similar technology.

We also rely on the law of trade secrets to protect unpatented know-how and technology to maintain our competitive position. We try to protect this know-how and technology by limiting access to the trade secrets to those of our employees contractors and partners with a need to know such information and by entering into confidentiality agreements with parties that have access to it, such as our employees, consultants and business partners. Any of these parties could breach

the agreements and disclose our trade secrets or confidential information, or our competitors might learn of the information in some other way. If any trade secret not protected by a patent were to be disclosed to or independently developed by a competitor, our competitive position could be materially harmed.

We could be exposed to significant product liability claims that could be time-consuming and costly, divert management attention and adversely affect our ability to obtain and maintain insurance coverage.

We may be subject to product liability claims if any of our product applications are alleged to be defective or cause harmful effects. For example, because our scanned beam displays are designed to scan a low power beam of colored light into the user’s eye, the testing, manufacture, marketing and sale of these products involve an inherent risk that product liability claims will be asserted against us. Product liability claims or other claims related to our products, regardless of their outcome, could require us to spend significant time and money in litigation, divert management time and attention, require us to pay significant damages, harm our reputation or hinder acceptance of our products. Any successful product liability claim may prevent us from obtaining adequate product liability insurance in the future on commercially desirable or reasonable terms. An inability to obtain sufficient insurance coverage at an acceptable cost or otherwise to protect against potential product liability claims could prevent or inhibit the commercialization of our products.

We rely heavily on a limited number of development contracts with the U.S. government, which are subject to immediate termination by the government for convenience at any time, and the termination of one or more of these contracts could have a material adverse impact on our operations.

During the first nine months of 2004 and for the year 2003, 39%, and 42% respectively, of Microvision’s revenue was derived from performance on a limited number of development contracts with the U.S. government. Therefore, any significant disruption or deterioration of our relationship with the U.S. government would significantly reduce our revenues. Our government programs must compete with programs managed by other contractors for limited amounts and uncertain levels of funding. The total amount and levels of funding are susceptible to significant fluctuations on a year-to-year basis. Our competitors continuously engage in efforts to expand their business relationships with the government and are likely to continue these efforts in the future. Our contracts with the government are subject to immediate termination by the government for convenience at any time. The government may choose to use contractors with competing display technologies or it may decide to discontinue any of our programs altogether. In addition, those development contracts that we do obtain require ongoing compliance with applicable government regulations. Termination of our development contracts, a shift in government spending to other programs in which we are not involved, a reduction in government spending generally, or our failure to meet applicable government regulations could have severe consequences for our results of operations.

Our products have long sales cycles, which make it difficult to plan our expenses and forecast our revenues.

We have a lengthy sales cycle that involves numerous steps including discussion of a product application, exploring the technical feasibility of a proposed product, evaluating the costs of manufacturing a product and manufacturing or contracting out the manufacturing of the product. Our long sales cycle, which can last several years, makes it difficult to predict the quarter in which sales will occur. Delays in sales could cause significant variability in our revenues and operating results for any particular quarterly period.

Our exploratory arrangements may not lead to products that will be profitable.

Our developmental contracts, including our relationships with parties such as the U.S. government, Canon, BMW and Volkswagen of America, are exploratory in nature and are intended to develop new types of products for new applications. These efforts may prove unsuccessful, and these relationships may not result in the development of products that will be profitable.

Our revenues are highly sensitive to developments in the defense and aerospace industries.

Our revenues to date have been derived principally from product development research relating to defense applications of the scanned beam display technology. We believe that development programs and sales of potential products in this market will represent a significant portion of our future revenues. Developments that adversely affect the defense sector, including delays in government funding and a general economic downturn, could cause our revenues to decline substantially.

Our Virtual Retinal Display technology depends on our licenses from the University of Washington. If we lose our rights under the licenses, our operations would be adversely affected.

We have acquired the exclusive rights to the Virtual Retinal Display under a license from the University of Washington. The license expires upon expiration of the last of the University of Washington’s patents that relate to this technology, which we currently anticipate will not occur until after 2011. We could lose our exclusivity under the license if we fail to respond to an infringement action or fail to use our best efforts to commercialize the licensed technology. In addition, the University of Washington may terminate the license upon our breach and has the right to consent to all sublicense arrangements. If we were to lose our rights under the license, or if the University of Washington were to refuse to consent to future sublicenses, we would lose a competitive advantage in the market, and may even lose the ability to commercialize our products completely. Either of these results could substantially decrease our revenues.

We are dependent on third parties in order to develop, manufacture, sell and market our products.

Our strategy for commercializing the scanned beam technology and products incorporating the scanned beam technology includes entering into cooperative development, sales and marketing arrangements with corporate partners, original equipment manufacturers and other third parties. We cannot be certain that we will be able to negotiate arrangements on acceptable terms, if at all, or that these arrangements will be successful in yielding commercially viable products. If we cannot establish these arrangements, we would require additional capital to undertake such activities on our own and would require extensive manufacturing, sales and marketing expertise that we do not currently possess and that may be difficult to obtain. In addition, we could encounter significant delays in introducing the scanned beam technology or find that the development, manufacture or sale of products incorporating the scanned beam technology would not be feasible. To the extent that we enter into cooperative development, sales and marketing or other joint venture arrangements, our revenues will depend upon the performance of third parties. We cannot be certain that any such arrangements will be successful.

Loss of any of our key personnel could have a negative effect on the operation of our business.

Our success depends on our executive officers and other key personnel and on the ability to attract and retain qualified new personnel. Achievement of our business objectives will require substantial additional expertise in the areas of sales and marketing, research and product development and manufacturing. Competition for qualified personnel in these fields is intense, and the inability to attract and retain additional highly skilled personnel, or the loss of key personnel, could reduce our revenues and adversely affect our business.

Our quarterly performance may vary substantially and this variance, as well as general market conditions, may cause our stock price to fluctuate greatly and potentially expose us to litigation.

Our revenues to date have been generated from a limited number of development contracts with U.S. government entities and commercial partners. Our quarterly operating results may vary significantly based on:

• reductions or delays in funding of development programs involving new information display technologies by the U.S. government or our current or prospective commercial partners;

• changes in evaluations and recommendations by any securities analysts following our stock or our industry generally;

• announcements by other companies in our industry;

• changes in business or regulatory conditions;

• announcements or implementation by our competitors of technological innovations or new products;

• the status of particular development programs and the timing of performance under specific development agreements;

• economic and stock market conditions; or

• other factors unrelated to our company or industry.

In one or more future quarters, our results of operations may fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors and the trading price of our common stock may decline as a consequence. In addition, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, shareholders often have instituted securities class action litigation against that company. If we become involved in a class action suit, it could divert the attention of management, and, if adversely determined, could require us to pay significant damages.

If we fail to manage expansion effectively, our revenue and expenses could be adversely affected.

Our ability to successfully offer products and implement our business plan in a rapidly evolving market requires an effective planning and management process. We have significantly expanded the scope of our operations. The growth in business and relationships with customers and other third parties has placed, and will continue to place, a significant strain on our management systems and resources. We will need to continue to improve our financial and managerial controls, reporting systems and procedures and will need to continue to train and manage our work force.

The value of our investment in Lumera may decrease.

A significant portion of our assets include an investment in Lumera. Lumera’s stock price is subject to fluctuation and may decrease, lowering the value of our investment. We hold approximately 33% of Lumera’s common stock. Since we hold a large percentage of Lumera’s common stock, if an active market does not develop or is not sustained, it may be difficult for us to sell our shares of Lumera’s common stock at an attractive price or at all. In connection with the Lumera initial public offering, we entered into a six month lock-up agreement. During the lock-up period we cannot sell or pledge as collateral our shares of Lumera common stock. The likelihood of Lumera’s success, and the value of the common stock we hold, must be considered in light of the risks frequently encountered by early stage companies, especially those formed to develop and market new technologies. These risks include Lumera’s potential inability to establish product sales and marketing capabilities; to establish and maintain markets for their potential products; and to continue to develop and upgrade their technologies to keep pace with changes in technology and the growth of markets using polymer materials. If Lumera is unsuccessful in meeting these challenges, its stock price, and the value of our investment, could decrease.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Substantially all of the Company’s cash equivalents and investment securities are at fixed interest rates and, as such, the fair value of these instruments is affected by changes in market interest rates. Due to the generally short-term maturities of these investment securities, Microvision believes that the market risk arising from its holdings of these financial instruments is not

material.

The Company’s investment policy restricts investments to ensure principal preservation and liquidity. The Company invests cash that it expects to use within approximately sixty days in U.S. treasury-backed instruments. The Company invests cash in excess of approximately sixty days of its requirements in high quality investment securities. The investment securities portfolio is limited to U.S. government and U.S. government agency debt securities and other high-grade securities generally with maturities of three years or less.

The weighted average maturities of cash equivalents and investment securities available-for-sale as of September 30, 2004, are as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

	Amount		Percent
Cash and equivalents	$	8,752	100.00	%
Less than one year	—		0.00	%
	$	8,752	100.00	%

Microvision owns 5,434,000 shares of Lumera common stock. Based on Lumera’s closing stock price on October 29, 2004 of $7.90, the market value of Microvision’s investment in Lumera common stock is $42.9 million. The market price of Lumera’s common stock is subject to fluctuations based on Lumera’s financial performance and overall market conditions.

Presently, all of the Company’s development contract payments are denominated in U.S. dollars and, consequently, the Company believes it has no material foreign currency exchange rate risk. However, in the future Microvision may enter into development contracts or product sales in foreign currencies that may subject Microvision to foreign exchange rate risk.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
