In the opinion of management of Chyron Corporation (the "Company"), the accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2000 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2000. In addition, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and related disclosures. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment and available information. Also, during interim periods, certain costs and expenses are allocated among periods based on an estimate of time expired, benefit received, or other activity associated with the periods. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. The December 31, 1999 figures included herein were derived from such audited consolidated financial statements. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1999 financial statements to conform to the 2000 method of presentation.

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"), "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." SAB 101 summarizes certain of the SEC's views in applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements. In June 2000, the SEC issued SAB No. 101B to defer the effective date of implementation of SAB No. 101 until the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000. The Company has not yet determined the impact, if any, the adoption of SAB 101 will have on its financial position and results of operations.

Accounts receivable is stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $2.1 and $3.3 million at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively.

Inventories, net of obsolescence reserves, consist of the following (in thousands):

In April 2000, the Company raised $20 million in connection with a private placement of 3,076,923 shares of its common stock at a price of $6.50. The offering price per share was determined based on negotiations between the Company and its placement agents taking into account the historical trading history of the common stock and market conditions at such time. The price of the common stock, as listed on the NYSE, ranged between 5 7/16 and 9 7/16 on the various closing dates. The Company expects to apply the net proceeds, of approximately $18.2 million, towards sales, marketing, the pursuit of strategic alliances and research and development in connection with its new media business.

In connection with the private placement, the Company issued 151,914 warrants to the placement agents and 60,000 warrants to a consulting company to purchase common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $6.50. These warrants, which are immediately exercisable, will expire in April 2005.

In August 1999, the Company received a notice from the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") indicating that it did not currently meet the new continued listing standards issued in late July 1999. The new criteria revised and raised the minimum requirement of stockholders' equity to $50 million from $12 million of net tangible assets and global market capitalization to $50 million from $12 million. Companies below these levels must submit a business plan to the NYSE demonstrating how the Company anticipates meeting the new standards within an eighteen month period. The period ends in the first quarter of 2001. The Company submitted its plan to the NYSE and received approval in December 1999. The Company will be working closely with the NYSE as the exchange monitors the Company's compliance with the plan on a quarterly basis.

Chyron's businesses are organized, managed and internally reported as three segments. The segments, which are based on differences in products and technologies, are Graphics Products, Media Management Systems and New Media Services. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" included in the Company's Financial Statements contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. The Company is an integrated organization characterized by interdivisional cooperation, cost allocations and inventory transfers. Therefore, management does not represent that these segments, if operated independently, would report the financial information shown below.

From time to time, including in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company may publish forward-looking statements relating to such matters as anticipated financial performance, business prospects, technological developments, changes in the industry, new products, research and development activities and similar matters. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for such forward-looking statements. In order to comply with the terms of the safe harbor, the Company notes that a variety of factors could cause the Company's actual results to differ from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the Company's forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties that may affect the operations, performance, development and results of the Company's business include, without limitation, the following: product concentration in a mature market, dependence on the emerging digital market and the industry's transition to DTV and HDTV, consumer acceptance of DTV and HDTV, resistance within the broadcast or cable industry to implement DTV and HDTV technology, acceptance of the Company's new media service products, rapid technological changes, new technologies that could render certain Chyron products to be obsolete, a highly competitive environment, competitors with significantly greater financial resources, new product introductions by competitors, seasonality, fluctuations in quarterly operating results, ability to maintain adequate levels of working capital, ability to maintain its NYSE listing, expansion into new markets and the Company's ability to successfully implement its acquisition and strategic alliance strategy.

This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements including the Notes thereto.

Sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 were $14 million, a decrease of $2.8 million, or 16.7% over the $16.8 million reported for the third quarter of 1999. Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 were $44.9 million, a decrease of $3.1 million or 6.4% over the $48 million reported for the first nine months of 1999. Third quarter 2000 revenues consisted of $6.8 million from the graphics division and $7.2 million from the media management division. This compares to last year's third quarter breakdown of $8.4 million in each of the divisions. Revenues during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 consisted of $20.7 million and $21.5 million, respectively, from the graphics division and $24.2 million and $26.5 million, respectively, from the media management division.

The graphics division is experiencing a transition. Duet is gaining acceptance in the U.S. and in Europe and shipments this quarter were the highest to date. This is, however, at the expense of the iNFiNiT! family of products which it is replacing. The Company's stillstore product, Aprisa, also gained momentum in 2000. In addition, last year's periods included a substantial number of system upgrades, in part to insure that customers were Y2K compliant. In the third quarter of 2000 the Company recorded revenues associated with the Sydney Olympics of approximately $1 million.

Overall media management revenues in the quarter were lower due to the near completion of a major contract for an expanded routing system and the effect of declining foreign currency exchange rates on U.K. revenues. Also impacting the nine month revenues is the disappointing rollout of digital television in Europe resulting in lower than expected customer demand for media management products and the reduced value of the Euro against the British pound and the decision to discount prices to remain competitive.

The Company generated nominal revenues in the third quarter of 2000 in connection with its new media division. This division, which can now offer streaming media services such as consultancy, equipment installation, encoding and webcasting, has begun to build a customer base in the U.K. and U.S.A.

Gross margins for the third quarter of 2000 increased to 50% from 48% in the comparable quarter in 1999. Gross margins for the nine month periods in 2000 and 1999, were 47% and 46% respectively, exclusive of a $2.2 million write-down of inventory in 1999. Margins in the graphics sector improved, in large part, to products provided to the Olympics and lower overhead costs. Margins in the media management division have declined due to the level of discounting in the international market due to competition and the reduced value of the Euro, but were offset, to a lesser degree by lower costs associated with product redesigns.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased by $0.8 million, or 12%, to $7.7 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2000 compared to $6.9 million in the third quarter of 1999. SG&A expenses decreased by $0.5 million, or 2%, to $21.1 million in the first nine months of 2000 compared to $21.6 million for the first nine months of 1999. SG&A expenses in the core businesses declined as a result of the Q2 1999 restructuring and have continued to be reduced, primarily in the area of personnel as the reduction in force year over year is another 10% in the third quarter. These savings have been offset by the Company's expenditures, of approximately $1.7 million in Q3 2000, to implement its strategy in the new media marketplace. This division now employs 29 people. The Company anticipates that its efforts, and consequently its costs, will grow in future quarters as a result.

Research and development (R&D) costs in the third quarter of 2000 are less than the comparable 1999 levels by approximately $0.1 million. R&D costs decreased during the first nine months of 2000 compared to the same period in 1999 by $0.4 million. The revised product strategy implemented at the end of the second quarter of 1999 resulted in the elimination of effort associated with non-strategic products, thereby reducing costs. Recently, efforts in this area have been redirected to graphics and streaming products for the Internet and Interactive TV.

Interest and other expense, net increased in the three months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to 1999 by $0.08 million. Interest expense increased by approximately $0.07 million as a result of greater interest rates but was offset to a lesser degree by lower average borrowings. Interest income increased by $0.2 million due to interest earned on monies raised in a private placement in April 2000. Also included in this caption is the net impact of foreign exchange transactions for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 which was a loss of $0.13 million and a gain of $0.08 million, respectively.

Interest and other expense, net, increased $0.8 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2000 as compared to 1999. This increase was due primarily to a non-cash charge of $0.5 million resulting from the Company's decision to satisfy an interest obligation related to its subordinated debentures.

The Company did not record a tax benefit in the three and nine months periods of 2000 relative to its operating loss. In the second quarter of 1999 the Company established a full valuation allowance against its U.S. deferred tax assets to recognize the uncertainty surrounding its realizability. Until the Company has U.S. taxable income, no additional benefit will be realized.

At September 30, 2000, the Company had cash on hand of $14.8 million and working capital of $33.2 million.

In April 2000, as discussed in the notes to the financial statements, the Company raised $20 million in connection with a private placement of 3,076,923 shares of common stock. The Company is utilizing the net proceeds, of approximately $18.2 million, to invest in efforts associated primarily with sales, marketing, research and development and the pursuit of strategic alliances in connection with its new media business.

As set forth in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the Company used $5.7 million in cash from operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to using $1.0 million in cash for the comparable 1999 period. The utilization of cash from operations during the nine month period ended September 30, 2000 results primarily from the realization of the net loss and the increase in accounts receivable and inventory balances. The increase in accounts receivable during such period results from the $1.3 million increase in the volume of sales in the third quarter of 2000 as compared to the fourth quarter of 1999 and the timing of receipt of certain milestone payments. Inventory balances at the end of the third quarter of 2000 were higher due to the additional product required for the 2000 Olympic summer games and for demonstration purposes.

Cash used to acquire property and equipment in the nine month period in 2000 totaled $1 million of which $0.5 million relates to the infrastructure to support the Company's new media initiatives. The Company also utilized $3.4 million in cash to paydown its credit facility, received $0.7 million from the issuance of common stock as a result of exercises of options and warrants and $0.6 million from the sale of investments.

The Company is exposed to currency risk in the normal course of business related to investments in its foreign subsidiaries and the level of sales to foreign customers. For the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, sales to foreign customers were 41% and 40% of total sales, respectively. Substantially all sales generated outside of the U.S. are denominated in British pounds sterling. The net impact of foreign exchange transactions for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 were a loss of $0.13 million and a gain of $0.08 million, respectively.
