1. MANAGEMENT'S STATEMENT AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION 

Management's Statement

The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2011, the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 have been prepared by MicroVision, Inc. ("we" or "us") and have not been audited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to state fairly the financial position at September 30, 2011 and the results of operations, comprehensive loss 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 Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. You should read these condensed consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be attained for the entire fiscal year.

We have incurred significant losses since inception. We have funded operations to date primarily through the sale of common stock, convertible preferred stock, warrants, the issuance of convertible debt and, to a lesser extent, from development contract revenues and product sales. At September 30, 2011, MicroVision had $9.4 million in cash, cash equivalents and investment securities available-for-sale.

Based on our current operating plan, we anticipate that we have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to fund our operations through January 2012. We will require additional cash to fund our operating plan past that time. We are introducing new products into an emerging market which creates significant uncertainty about our ability to accurately project revenue, costs and cash flows. If the level of sales anticipated by our financial plan is not achieved or our working capital requirements are higher than planned, we will need to raise additional cash sooner or take actions to reduce operating expenses. We plan to obtain additional cash through the issuance of equity or debt securities. There can be no assurance that additional cash will be available or that, if available, it will be available on terms acceptable to us on a timely basis. If adequate funds are not available on a timely basis, we intend to consider limiting our operations substantially to extend our funds as we pursue other financing opportunities and business relationships. This limitation of operations could include reducing our planned investment in working capital to fund revenue growth and delaying development projects resulting in reductions in staff, operating costs, capital expenditures and investment in research and development.

We have received a report from our independent public accounting firm regarding the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 that includes an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

In August 2010, we entered into a committed equity financing facility with Azimuth Opportunity, Ltd. ("Azimuth"). During 2011 we completed two draws from this facility and raised a total of $5.6 million before placement agent and other issuance costs from the sale of approximately 4.5 million shares of our common stock. In July 2011, we cancelled this facility.

In May 2011, we entered into a committed equity financing facility with Azimuth, under which we may sell to Azimuth up to the lesser of $40.0 million or 21,018,431 of our shares of common stock over a 24-month term, which began on July 8, 2011. In August 2011, we raised $1.5 million before placement agent and other issuance costs from the sale of approximately 1.6 million shares of our common stock. As of September 30, 2011, we have the lesser of approximately $ 38.5 million or 19.2 million shares of common stock remaining available under the facility.

In September 2011, we entered into a another committed equity financing facility with Azimuth, under which we may sell to Azimuth up to the lesser of $35.0 million or 22,030,737 of our shares of common stock over a 24-month term, which began on September 13, 2011. In September 2011, we raised $5.0 million before placement agent and other issuance costs from the sale of approximately 7.6 million shares of our common stock. As of September 30, 2011, we have the lesser of approximately $30 million or 14.4 million shares of common stock remaining available under this facility.

We may use these facilities as part of our plan to raise additional cash, though we may not be able to sell shares under either facility in the amounts desired or at all. We are not obligated to use these facilities and remain free to enter into and consummate other equity and debt financing transactions. See Note 10 for more information.
