NOTE 1        BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Newport Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the Company) and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions of Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include certain footnotes and financial presentations normally required under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and, therefore, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2012.  The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results the Company will have for the full year ending December 28, 2013.  The December 29, 2012 balances reported herein are derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2012.

Subsequent to the filing of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 29, 2012, management determined that certain debt repayments and borrowings were both overstated by $2.8 million in the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 29, 2012.  In the consolidated statements of cash flows included in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, the Company corrected the presentation of repayment of long-term debt and obligations under capital leases, repayment of short-term borrowings and proceeds from short-term borrowings to accurately report debt repayments and borrowings.  The Company believes that the effect of this adjustment is not material to the consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 29, 2012.
