Management's Statement

The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2012, the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 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 June 30, 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 balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but these interim consolidated financial statements do 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 and six months ended June 30, 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 June 30, 2012, we had $14.8 million in cash and cash equivalents.

Based on our current operating plan, we anticipate that we have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months. 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 could include delaying development projects and reductions in staff, operating costs, including research and development, and capital expenditures.

In March 2012, we 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.

In June 2012, we raised $10.5 million before issuance costs of approximately $823,000 through an underwritten public offering of 4.2 million shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 2.1 million shares of our common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $2.65 per share, a five year term, and are exercisable beginning one year from the date of issuance.

In May 2012, we raised approximately $5.0 million before issuance costs of approximately $71,000 from the sale of 3.3 million shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 1.0 million shares of our common stock to a strategic investor. The warrants have an exercise price of $2.12 per share, a three year term, and are exercisable beginning on the date of issuance.

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

Principles of Consolidation

Our condensed 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 and six months ended June 30, 2012.

Net Loss Per Share

Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting periods. Diluted net loss per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and taking into account the dilutive effect of all potentially dilutive securities, including common stock equivalents and convertible securities outstanding. Potentially dilutive common stock equivalents primarily consist of warrants, employee stock options and nonvested equity shares.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between informed market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the authoritative guidance establishes a three level fair value inputs hierarchy, and requires an entity to maximize the use of observable valuation inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. When estimating fair values, we use market data, assumptions and risks we believe market participants would use in measuring the fair value of the asset or liability, including the risks inherent in the inputs and the valuation techniques.

At December 31, 2011, our cash equivalents and investment securities available-for-sale were comprised of money market savings accounts and equity securities. The corporate equity securities were valued using inputs and common methods with sufficient levels of transparency and observability to be classified at Level 2.

Share-based Compensation

We use the straight-line attribution method to allocate the fair value of share-based compensation awards over the requisite service period for each award.
