ITEM 5.    OTHER EVENTS

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         On September 27, 2000, Photon Dynamics, Inc. ("PDI" or the
"Company") entered into an Acquisition Agreement for Plan of Arrangement (the
"Arrangement") to acquire Image Processing Systems Inc. ("IPS"). In
connection with the Arrangement, the Company has prepared unaudited combined
condensed financial statements. The following unaudited pro forma combined
condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP")
to give effect to the merger using the pooling of interests method of
accounting. These unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements
reflect certain assumptions deemed probable by management regarding the
Arrangement (e.g., that share information used in the unaudited pro forma
information approximates actual share information at the effective date). No
adjustments to the unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial
statements have been made to account for different possible results in
connection with the foregoing, as management believes that the impact on such
information of varying outcomes, individually or in the aggregate, would not
be material.

         PDI has a fiscal year ending on September 30 and IPS has a fiscal
year ending on March 31. If the Arrangement is consummated, the fiscal year
of IPS will be conformed to that of PDI commencing with the fiscal year
ending September 30, 2001. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma combined
statement of operations data combine PDI's historical results for the fiscal
years ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 with IPS' historical results for the
years ended September 30, 2000 and March 31, 2000, respectively, giving
effect to the Arrangement as if it had occurred at the beginning of the
earliest period presented. As a result, the results for IPS for the six
months ended March 31, 2000 have been included in both pro forma combined
condensed statements of operations. The unaudited pro forma combined balance
sheet data combines PDI's consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2000
with IPS' consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2000, giving effect
to the Arrangement as if it had occurred on September 30, 2000.

         These unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements
are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The unaudited pro forma combined
condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
historical consolidated financial statements of PDI and IPS, including the
notes thereto, as contained in each company's annual report.

         The unaudited selected pro forma combined condensed financial
information set forth below gives effect to the merger as a pooling of
interests, assuming that 0.0447 shares of PDI common stock is issued in
exchange for each share of IPS common stock.

         PDI and IPS estimate that they will incur direct transaction costs
of approximately U.S. $1.4 million associated with the merger, which will be
charged to operations upon consummation of the merger. In addition, it is
expected that following the merger, the combined company will incur
additional costs, which cannot currently be estimated, associated with
integrating the operations of the two companies. Integration-related costs
are not included in the accompanying unaudited pro forma combined condensed
financial statements.

         Unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial information is
presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of
the financial position or results of operations that would have actually been
reported had the merger occurred at the beginning of the earliest period
presented, nor is it necessarily indicative of future financial position or
results of operations. These unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial
statements are based upon the respective historical consolidated financial
statements of PDI and IPS and notes thereto. These unaudited pro forma
combined condensed financial statements do not incorporate, nor do they
assume, any anticipated benefits from cost savings or synergies of operations
of the combined company.

                          NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
                     COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



NOTE 1 - PERIODS COMBINED

         The consolidated balance sheet of Photon Dynamics, Inc. ("PDI") as
of September 30, 2000 has been combined with the consolidated balance sheet
of Image Processing Systems Inc. ("IPS") as of September 30, 2000. The PDI
consolidated statements of operations for the years ended September 30, 2000
and 1999 have been combined with the IPS consolidated statements of
operations for the years ended September 30, 2000 and March 31, 2000,
respectively. The unaudited combined condensed statements of operations for
the years ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 both include the IPS results of
operations for the six months ended March 31, 2000. The results of operations
for those six months are summarized as follows (in thousands of U.S. dollars):

NOTE 2 - MERGER COSTS

         PDI and IPS estimate they will incur direct transaction costs of
approximately U.S. $1.4 million associated with the merger, consisting
primarily of fees for investment banking, filings with regulatory agencies,
legal, accounting, financial printing and other related costs. These
non-recurring costs will be charged to operations in the fiscal quarter in
which the merger is consummated. The unaudited pro forma combined balance
sheet gives effect to such charges as if they had been incurred as of
September 30, 2000, but the effects of these costs have not been reflected in
the unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations as they are
non-recurring in nature. It is expected that substantially all of the costs
will be paid out of existing cash reserves within six to twelve months after
the consummation of the merger.

         In addition, it is expected that following the merger, the combined
company will incur additional costs, which cannot currently be estimated,
associated with integrating the operations of the two companies.
Integration-related costs are not included in the accompanying unaudited pro
forma combined condensed financial statements.

NOTE 3 - CONVERSION OF IPS TO U.S. GAAP

         These unaudited pro forma combined financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which in the case of IPS, conforms in
all material respects with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles
("Canadian GAAP"), except as follows:

(a)   The combined company has applied the Financial Accounting Standards Board
      Statement No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE ("FAS 128"), concerning the
      presentation of earnings per share under U.S. GAAP. Under FAS 128 the
      earnings (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted average number
      of common and common equivalent shares during the year using the treasury
      stock method to account for stock options outstanding. (see Note 5)

(b)   The combined company has accounted for capitalization of certain
      research and development costs according to the Financial Accounting
      Standards Board Statement No. 86, ACCOUNTING FOR THE COSTS OF SOFTWARE
      TO BE SOLD, LEASED, OR OTHER-WISE MARKETED ("FAS 86"). Under FAS 86 no
      costs would be capitalized. While under Canadian GAAP, some development
      costs would be capitalized. Due to this difference, the September 30,
      2000 IPS balance sheet reflects a

<PAGE>

      decrease in other assets and an increase in the accumulated deficit of
      U.S. $601,000 because of the additional charges to research and
      development expenses in prior years. In addition, research and
      development expenses in the statement of operations of IPS have been
      decreased by U.S. $335,000 and U.S. $374,000 due to the amortization of
      costs for years ended September 30, 2000 and March 31, 2000,
      respectively. There were no costs capitalized for the years ended
      September 30, 2000 and March 31, 2000.

NOTE 4 - CONVERSION OF IPS TO U.S. DOLLARS

         The historical consolidated financial statements of IPS were
prepared under Canadian GAAP in Canadian dollars. For these unaudited pro
forma combined financial statements, the historical financial information of
IPS has been converted to U.S. dollars using the September 30, 2000 exchange
rate for the balance sheet and the average exchange rates for the statements
of operations for the years ended September 30, 2000 and March 31, 2000,
respectively.

NOTE 5 - PRO FORMA EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

         The unaudited pro forma combined earnings (loss) per share amounts
are based upon the weighted average number of common and dilutive equivalent
shares of PDI and IPS outstanding at the exchange ratio for each period.

         The following table reconciles the number of shares used in the pro
forma earnings per share computations to the numbers set forth in PDI's and
IPS' historical statements of operations (in thousands, except for exchange
ratio):

QUARTERLY RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The following table presents unaudited consolidated statement of
operations data for each of the eight quarters ended September 30, 2000, as
well as such data expressed as a percentage of revenue. We believe that all
necessary adjustments have been included to present fairly the quarterly
information when read in conjunction with the historical consolidated
financial statements of the two companies. The operating results for any
quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results for any subsequent
quarter.
