              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

    Bruker Daltonics Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Company")
design, manufacture and market proprietary life science systems based on its
mass spectrometry core technology platforms. The Company also sells a broad
range of field analytical systems for substance detection and pathogen
identification. The Company maintains major technical centers in Europe, North
America and Japan. Bruker Daltonics allocates substantial capital and resources
to research and development and is party to various collaborations and strategic
alliances. The Company's diverse customer base includes pharmaceutical companies
and biotechnology companies, academic institutions and government agencies.

    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial
statements as of June 30, 2000 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
1999 and 2000 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and
with Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2000.

    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

    The balance sheet at December 31, 1999 has been derived from the audited
financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.

    For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Company's registration statement on Form S-1
for the year ended December 31, 1999.

3. EARNINGS PER SHARE

    Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings by the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The
diluted earnings per share computation includes the effect of shares which would
be issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options, reduced by the
number of shares which are assumed to be purchased by the Company from the
resulting proceeds at the average market price during the period.

    The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted average
shares outstanding for the periods indicated.

4. COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

    Total comprehensive loss was $121 and $602 for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2000 and $358 and $1,141 for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1999.

5. STOCK SPLIT

    On February 14, 2000, the Board of Directors of Bruker Daltonics Inc.
authorized a seven-for-one stock split in the form of a stock dividend.
Shareholders of record received six additional shares of common stock for every
share they owned. All common shares and per share data in the accompanying
financial statements have been restated to reflect the stock split.

6. STOCK OPTIONS

    In February 2000, the Board of Directors adopted and the Stockholders
approved the 2000 Stock Option Plan ("the Plan"). The Plan provides for the
issuance of up to 2,188,000 shares of Common Stock in connection with stock
options or other awards under the Plan. The Plan allows a committee of the Board
of Directors (the "Committee") to grant incentive stock options, non-qualified
stock options, stock appreciation rights and stock awards (including the use of
restricted stock and phantom shares). The Committee has the authority to
determine which employees will receive the rewards, the amount of the awards,
and other terms and conditions of the award. In February 2000, the Committee
granted stock options for 783,135 shares of common stock, which vest over
three-to-five year periods.

7. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

    In 1999, the Company decided to discontinue its Fourier Transform-Infrared
(FT-IR) business. The FT-IR business unit sells and services FT-IR instruments
to a variety of markets outside the Company's core technology platform of mass
spectrometry. The Company completed the sale of its FT-IR business to Bruker
Optik GmbH, an affiliated entity, in the first half of 2000 for a price which
approximates the net book value of the assets and liabilities of the business.

8. CONTINGENCIES

    The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Bruker Daltonik GmbH, has a
$5.4 million and $5.8 million accrued liability at June 30, 2000 and
December 31, 1999, respectively, related to certain patent infringement
litigation filed by a competitor, Finnigan, a subsidiary of ThermoQuest and an
indirect subsidiary of Thermo Electron. In December 1996, the competitor
initiated an action in the United States District Court of Massachusetts
alleging that the Company's esquire series of mass spectrometers and a related
product marketed by Agilent (formerly a division of Hewlett-Packard) infringe
two of the competitor's patents. The competitor has also filed a request for an
investigation of its patent infringement claims with the United States
International Trade Commission (ITC) and has filed suit against the Company in
Germany, France and the United Kingdom. The Massachusetts patent action has been
stayed pending the final determination of the ITC action while the actions in
Germany, France and the United Kingdom are on-going.

    In 1998, the ITC found in favor of the Company and in 1999 the Court of
Appeals for the Federal Circuit confirmed, in part, the ITC decision in favor of
the Company. The Company has filed counterclaims in relation to these patent
claims and in 1999 filed an anti-trust suit against the competitor in
Massachusetts Federal Court. The Company believes that it has a meritorious
defense to the competitor's claims and intends to vigorously defend itself.

    Based on a review of the current facts and circumstances, management of the
Company and its subsidiary believe that the amount of the accrued liability is a
reasonable estimate of the exposure to loss associated with these matters,
representing, principally, anticipated legal fees. While acknowledging the
uncertainties of litigation, the Company believes that these matters will be
resolved without a material effect on the Company's financial position or
results of operations. However, an unfavorable outcome of these matters could
result in a material adverse impact on the Company's financial statements,
although an estimate of such impact cannot be made.

    Other lawsuits, claims and proceedings of a nature considered normal to its
businesses are pending against the Company and its subsidiary. The Company
believes the outcome of these proceedings will not have a material impact on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.

9. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

    In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities ("SFAS"). SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting
and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments, embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It
requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments
at fair value. In July 1999, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 137 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-
Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133 ("SFAS 137"). SFAS 137
deferred the effective date of SFAS 133 until the first fiscal year beginning
after June 15, 2000. We will adopt the standard during January 2001. Management
believes that SFAS 133 will not have a material effect on the financial position
or results of operation of the Company.

    In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements," or
SAB 101, which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation, and
disclosure of revenue in financial statements filed with the SEC. SAB 101
outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides
guidance for disclosures

9. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)
related to revenue recognition policies. The Company's revenue recognition
policy is in compliance with the provisions of SAB 101.

    In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Interpretation No. 44 Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock
Compensation--an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25 ("FIN 44"). This
interpretation clarifies the definition of employee for purposes of applying
Accounting Practice Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees ("APB 25"), the criteria for determining whether a plan qualifies as a
noncompensatory plan, the accounting consequence of various modifications to the
terms of a previously fixed stock option or award, and the accounting for an
exchange of stock compensation awards in a business combination. This
Interpretation is effective July 1, 2000, but certain conclusions in this
Interpretation cover specific events that occur after either December 15, 1998,
or January 12, 2000. Management believes that FIN 44 will not have a material
effect on the financial position or results of operation of the Company.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    PRODUCT REVENUE.  Total product revenue for the three months ended June 30,
2000 increased $3 million, or 21.4%, to $17.1 million compared to $14.1 million
in 1999. Life science product revenue and substance detection product revenue as
a percentage of product revenue was 70.2% and 29.8%, respectively, in 2000 as
compared to 25.7% and 74.3%, respectively, in 1999. The increase in product
revenue in 2000 was fueled by strong demand for our life science products by new
and existing customers, led by our high and mid range MALDI time-of-flight
product lines.

    Product revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2000 increased
$6.2 million, or 24.7%, to $31.1 million compared to $24.9 million in 1999. Life
science product revenue and substance detection product revenue as a percentage
of product revenue was 68.7% and 31.3%, respectively, in 2000 as compared to
43.9% and 56.1%, respectively, in 1999.

    OTHER REVENUE.  Other revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2000
decreased $1.2 million, or 72.1%, to $454,000 compared to $1.6 million in 1999.
This decrease was due to the completion of certain projects for early-stage
research and development, which were funded by grants from the German government
and the Advanced Technology Program of the National Institute of Standards and
Technologies in the United States. While we historically have obtained
significant funding under grant awards for early-stage research and development
activity, we anticipate this funding will be significantly reduced in the
future, since these grants are typically provided to small or private companies
with limited access to capital.

    Other revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2000 decreased
$1.6 million, or 61.5%, to $1 million in 2000 compared to $2.6 million in 1999.

    COST OF PRODUCT REVENUE.  Cost of product revenue for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 increased $218,000, or 2.9%, to $7.8 million compared to
$7.5 million in 1999. The cost of product revenue as a percentage of product
revenue was 45.4% in 2000 as compared to 53.6% in 1999. This decrease is due to
a combination of stronger revenues from our high and mid range MALDI time-of
flight products which has lower cost, increased efficiencies in the
manufacturing operations and lower material costs driven by an increase in
volume discounts.

    Cost of product revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2000 increased
$1.3 million, or 9.9%, to $14.3 million compared to $13 million in 1999. The
cost of product revenue as a percentage of product revenue was 46.1% in 2000 as
compared to 52.3% in 1999.

    SALES AND MARKETING.  Sales and marketing expenses for the three months
ended June 30, 2000 increased $666,000, or 26.5%, to $3.2 million compared to
$2.5 million in 1999. The dollar increase was due to higher sales commissions
earned by our direct sales force as a result of an increase in the number of
units sold and the addition of several distribution subsidiaries not in
operation during the three months ended June 30, 1999. Sales and marketing
expenses as a percentage of net revenues were 18.1% in 2000 and 16.0% in 1999.

    Sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2000
increased $973,000, or 20.4%, to $5.7 million compared to $4.8 million in 1999.
Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of net revenues were 18% in 2000
and 17.3% in 1999.

    GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE.  General and administrative expenses for the
three months ended June 30, 2000 remained relatively consistent at $1.1 million
compared to $1.1 million in 1999. As a percentage of net revenues, general and
administrative expenses decreased to 6.5% in 2000 as compared to 7.4% in 1999,
as a result of higher revenues.

                                       10
<PAGE>
    General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2000
increased $465,000, or 26.2%, to $2.2 million compared to $1.8 million in 1999.
As a percentage of net revenues, general and administrative expenses remained
relatively consistent at 7% in 2000 and 6.4% in 1999.

    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT.  Research and development expenses for the three
months ended June 30, 2000 increased $1.0 million, or 24.8%, to $5.0 million in
2000 compared to $4.0 million in 1999. As a percentage of net revenues, research
and development expenses increased to 28.6% in 2000 compared to 25.6% in 1999.
The dollar increase in 2000 was due to increased staffing and the related
personnel costs and late stage testing costs incurred for our new products
scheduled for introduction in third quarter 2000. In addition, a few new major
development projects have been started for newer products and applications.

    Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2000
increased $1.5 million, or 21.2%, to $8.6 million compared to $7.1 million in
1999. As a percentage of net revenues, research and development expenses
increased to 26.8% in 2000 from 25.8% in 1999.

    INTEREST EXPENSE, NET.  Interest expense for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 increased $136,000, or 91.7%, to $283,000 in 2000 compared to
$148,000 in 1999. The increase relates to an increase in our short-term
borrowings during the quarter.

    Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2000 remained consistent
at $386,000 compared to $415,000 in 1999.

    INCOME FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS, NET OF INCOME TAXES.  Income from
discontinued operations net of income taxes for the three months ended June 30,
2000 decreased $6,000, or 5.9%, to $95,000 compared to $101,000 in 1999. Income
from discontinued operations is related to the disposal of our infrared sales
group in March 2000.

    Income from discontinued operations net of income taxes for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 decreased $59,000, or 31.1%, to $132,000 compared to
$191,000 in 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    Presently, we anticipate that our existing capital resources and the
proceeds from our equity offering will meet our operating and investing needs
through the end of 2001. Historically, we have financed our growth through a
combination of cash provided from operations, debt financing and issuance of
common stock. During 2000, net cash provided by operating activities was
$877,000, primarily as a result of net income for the period after adding back
depreciation and amortization.

    We used $1.1 million of cash during the first six months of 2000 for capital
expenditures. Such capital expenditures were made to improve productivity and
expand manufacturing capacity. We expect to continue to make capital investments
focused on enhancing the efficiency of our operations and supporting our growth.

    Other current assets increased at June 30, 2000 as compared to December 31,
1999. The increase in other current assets was principally due to an increase in
a VAT Tax receivable in Germany, deferred financing costs incurred with our
Registration Statement on Form S-1, and the timing of other receivables.

    In August 1999, we entered into a revolving line of credit with Citizens
Bank in the United States in the amount of $2.5 million, of which $1 million was
outstanding as of June 30, 2000. This line, which is secured by portions of our
inventory, receivables and equipment in the United States, is used to support
working capital and expires July 31, 2001. We also maintained revolving lines of
credit of approximately $6.2 million with German Banks, of which $3.8 million
was outstanding as of June 30, 2000. Our German lines of credit are unsecured.

    No material capital expenditure commitments were outstanding as of June 30,
2000.

                                       11
<PAGE>
    Our future capital uses and requirements depend on numerous factors,
including our success in selling our existing products, our progress in research
and development, our ability to introduce and sell new products, our sales and
marketing expenses, our need to expand production capacity, costs associated
with possible acquisitions, expenses associated with unforeseen litigation,
regulatory changes, and competition and technological developments in the
market.

FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION

    The matters discussed in this report contain forward-looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ
materially from those discussed herein. Such statements are made pursuant to the
safe harbor provisions of the "Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995." The above discussion of the financial condition and results of operations
of the Company should be read in conjunction with the interim condensed
consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Part I, Item
I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Prospectus dated
August 3, 2000.

IMPACT OF FOREIGN CURRENCIES

    We sell our products in many countries and a substantial portion of our
sales and a portion of our costs and expenses are denominated in foreign
currencies, especially in Euro. Historically, our realized foreign exchange
gains and losses have not been material. Accordingly, we have not hedged our
foreign currency position in the past. However, as we expand our sales
internationally, we plan to evaluate our currency risks and we may enter into
foreign exchange contracts from time to time to mitigate foreign currency
exposure.

ITEM 2: CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

    On August 3, 2000, a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-34820) was
declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, pursuant to which
9,200,000 shares of our common stock were offered and sold by us at a price of
$13 per share, generating gross offering proceeds of approximately
$119.6 million. The managing underwriters were UBS Warburg LLC, CIBC World
Markets and Thomas Weisel Partners LLC. In connection with the offering, we
incurred $8.4 million in underwriting discounts and commissions, and
approximately $1.5 million in other related expenses. The net proceeds from the
offering, after deducting the foregoing expenses, were approximately
$110 million. We have used a portion of the net proceeds of the offering to fund
our continuing research and development activities and for working capital and
other general corporate purposes. Additionally, we have used $4 million of the
net proceeds to pay off a portion our outstanding bank debt.
