1. MANAGEMENT'S STATEMENT AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION 

Management's Statement

The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2012, the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 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 March 31, 2012 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, 2011. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 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 March 31, 2012, we had $6.8 million in cash, cash equivalents and investment securities available-for-sale and a working capital deficit of $2.9 million. In May 2012, we signed a definitive agreement with private investors to raise approximately $5.0 million from the sale of our common stock and warrants to purchase our common stock. The investment is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to be completed by May 29, 2012. See Note 10 for more information.

Based on our current operating plan, we anticipate that we have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to fund our operations through June 2012. With the additional $5.0 million we expect to raise in May 2012, we anticipate that we would have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to fund our operations through October 2012. We will require additional cash to fund our operating plan past that time. We are introducing new technology 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 and through the monetization of select patents that we believe are not core to our business. 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 would include significant reductions in staff and operating costs.

We have received a report from our independent public accounting firm regarding the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 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.

A one-for-eight reverse stock split of MicroVision's common stock became effective on February 17, 2012. All of the share and per share amounts discussed and shown in the consolidated financial statements and notes have been adjusted to reflect the effect of this reverse split.

Principles of Consolidation

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MicroVision, Inc. and MicroVision Innovations Singapore Pte. Ltd. ("MicroVision Singapore"), a wholly owned foreign subsidiary. MicroVision Singapore was incorporated in April 2011 and is engaged in operational support functions for MicroVision, Inc. There were no material intercompany accounts and transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2012.
