                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 / FINANCIAL STATEMENT PREPARATION

The  financial  statements  as of June  29,  2000 and July 1,  1999,  have  been
prepared by the Company  pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange  Commission  (SEC).  These  statements  are  unaudited  but, in the
opinion of management,  include all adjustments  (consisting of normal recurring
adjustments  and  accruals)  necessary  to present  fairly the  results  for the
periods presented.  The balance sheet at December 30, 1999 has been derived from
the audited financial  statements at that date. Certain information and footnote
disclosures  normally  included in financial  statements  prepared in accordance
with  accounting  principles  generally  accepted in the United States have been
condensed  or  omitted  pursuant  to such SEC rules and  regulations.  Operating
results for the six months ended June 29, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of
the results  that may be expected for the year ending  December 28, 2000.  These
financial  statements  should be read in  conjunction  with the  annual  audited
financial  statements and the accompanying  notes included in the Company's Form
10-K for the year ended December 30, 1999.

In December 1999, the staff of the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"),  Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements.  SAB 101 was  amended  by SAB 101A and SAB 101B  which  delayed  the
implementation  date of SAB 101  for  calendar  year  end  reporting  companies,
including Data I/O  Corporation,  to the quarter  ending  December 28, 2000. The
Company is currently  evaluating  SAB 101 and is uncertain as to what impact SAB
101 will have on its  revenues  and  results of  operations  for the year ending
December  28,  2000,  and  subsequent  periods.  The  impact  of SAB 101 will be
reported as a change in accounting  principle in accordance  with FASB Statement
No. 3, and will be reflected in the Company's results of operations for the year
ended December 28, 2000.

NOTE 4 / DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In November 1997 the Company entered into a licensing agreement and an agreement
to sell  certain  assets  of its  Synario  Design  Automation  Division  to MINC
Washington  Incorporated.  This  transaction  discontinued  the  Synario  Design
Automation  Division  operations of the Company.  However,  the Company received
certain licensing revenues related to its Synario, ABEL and ECS products through
the second  quarter 1999,  and  recognized  net earnings of $831,000 from source
code sales and  training  and  support  services  provided  during the first six
months of 1999.  Operating results of this discontinued  division are classified
as discontinued operations in the financial statements.

NOTE 5 / BUSINESS RESTRUCTURING PROGRESS

During the third quarter of 1998, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of
$2.0 million as the Company began the  implementation  of a plan to  restructure
its Redmond and foreign  subsidiary  operations to a level more in line with the
lower sales it was experiencing.  During the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company
recorded further restructuring charges of $2.4 million related to the continuing
restructure of the Company's  Redmond  operations and foreign  subsidiaries  and
related  to  activities   directly  associated  with  the  fourth  quarter  1998
acquisition of SMS Holding GmbH ("SMS").  The acquisition of SMS created certain
redundancies in product offerings and in the operations of the combined company.
A  restructuring  plan was  implemented  after the  acquisition was completed to
eliminate such redundant operations and to phase out overlapping products.

The  total  number  of  employees  terminated  due to the  restructure  was  133
(approximately  39% of the total  workforce).  Employees  were  terminated  from
almost all areas of the Company. Total involuntary termination benefits paid and
charged against the restructure  reserve were approximately $2.0 million.  Total
facility  consolidation  and abandonment  costs incurred and charged against the
restructure  reserve  were  approximately  $293,000.  Other  exit costs paid and
charged against the restructure  reserve,  including legal and consulting  fees,
settlements with suppliers and fixed asset disposals,  were  approximately  $1.7
million.  The  Company's  activities  under  its  restructuring  plans  are  now
substantially complete.

The Company reversed  portions of the restructure  reserve at two separate times
as it became  apparent  that  certain  provisions  made at the time the original
restructure   reserve  was  established  in  1998  required   adjusting  as  the
restructuring  plan was  implemented.  During  the  second  quarter  of 1999 the
Company reversed $215,000 of restructure reserve due to the Company's settlement
of  certain  supplier  related  claims for less than had been  anticipated,  and
during the second quarter of 2000 the Company  reversed  $255,000 of restructure
reserve primarily due to charges related to facility  consolidations  being less
than had been  anticipated.  The remaining  reserve at June 29, 2000 of $159,000
relates  primarily to facility  abandonment which will be paid out over the next
six quarters.

NOTE 7 / ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES

The Company's  effective tax rate for the first six months of 2000 differed from
the  statutory 34% tax rate  primarily due to operating  losses for which no tax
benefit was recorded. Tax valuation reserves increased by approximately $112,000
during the quarter.  As of June 29, 2000 the Company has  valuation  reserves of
$7,714,000.

NOTE 8 / COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

During  the second  quarter  and the first  sixth  months of 2000 and 1999 total
comprehensive income (loss) was comprised of the following (in thousands):

and Results of Operations

General

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes  forward-looking  statements  within
the meaning of the Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform Act of 1995. This Act
provides a "safe harbor" for  forward-looking  statements to encourage companies
to provide  prospective  information  about  themselves as long as they identify
these statements as forward looking and provide meaningful cautionary statements
identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ from the
projected results.  All statements other than statements of historical fact made
in this  Quarterly  Report  on Form 10-Q are  forward  looking.  In  particular,
statements herein regarding industry prospects;  future results of operations or
financial  position;  integration of acquired  products and  operations;  market
acceptance of the Company's newly introduced or upgraded products;  development,
introduction and shipment of new products;  expected  spending  levels;  and any
other guidance on future periods are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements  reflect   management's   current  expectations  and  are  inherently
uncertain.   The  Company's  actual  results  may  differ   significantly   from
management's  expectations.  The following discussions and discussions under the
caption "Business - Cautionary Factors That May Affect Future Results" in Item 1
in the  Company's  Annual  report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December  30,
1999,  describe  some,  but not all,  of the  factors  that  could  cause  these
differences.

Results of Continuing Operations

For all periods  presented,  results of operations reflect the classification of
the Company's Synario Design Automation Division as discontinued operations (see
"Discontinued Operations").

Bookings and sales  increased in the second quarter of 2000 compared to the same
period of 1999. Orders in the secondquarter of 2000 increased  approximately 39%
to $10.9  million,  compared with $7.9 million in 1999.  This increase in orders
over the prior year is primarily due to higher  orders for the  Company's  PP100
automated  programming  systems and the first  bookings  for the  Company's  new
ProLINE-RoadRunner   automated  programming  system,  which  was  introduced  in
February 2000. The higher orders for the PP100 products are due primarily to the
Company's  new  FlashTOP  product  that was  introduced  in February  2000.  The
bookings  increase in automated systems was partially offset by decreased orders
for the Company's non-automated programming systems.

                                     Page 9

<PAGE>
The  increase  in sales for the second  quarter  2000 was  primarily  due to the
increased shipments of the PP100. The first shipments of the  ProLINE-RoadRunner
will  be in  the  third  quarter  of  2000.  Sales  of the  older  non-automated
programming  systems  decreased  significantly  from the second quarter of 1999,
offset partially by an increase in sales of the Company's  Sprint  non-automated
programming   system  products,   resulting  in  a  net  decrease  in  sales  of
non-automated systems for the quarter.

The Company has  realized a negative  impact from foreign  currency  translation
during 2000 due primarily to the German Mark to U.S.  Dollar  exchange rate. The
net impact of exchange rate changes on sales revenue during the first six months
of 2000 was approximately $300,000.  When the U.S. Dollar is stronger,  sales of
the Company's  products  denominated in local currency  translate into less U.S.
Dollars.  However,  partially offsetting the negative revenue translation impact
is the positive translation impact of local currency costs and expenses.

</TABLE>

Despite  higher sales,  gross margin  percentage  for the second quarter of 2000
decreased compared to the second quarter of 1999 due primarily to a shift in mix
to higher sales of lower margin products. Also,  inefficiencies were realized by
the manufacturing  organization during the quarter as it prepared for production
of the  ProLINE-RoadRunner  which was introduced in February 2000 and will begin
shipping in the third quarter.

</TABLE>
The increase in research and development spending for the second quarter of 2000
as compared to the second quarter of 1999 is primarily due to headcount  related
to the  Company's  continued  focus on  enhanced  device  support.  Spending  in
research  and  development  is expected  to  continue  at this level  during the
remainder of 2000 as the Company continues to invest in new product development,
new technologies and enhanced device support.

</TABLE>
The slight increase in selling,  general and administrative  expenditures in the
second  quarter  of 2000 as  compared  with the  second  quarter  of 1999 is due
primarily to higher selling  expenses  related to the higher revenue,  partially
offset by lower spending levels in other areas of administration.

</TABLE>

The decrease in interest income for both the second quarter and first six months
of 2000 as compared to the same  periods of 1999 is due to the decrease in cash,
cash  equivalents  and  marketable  securities,  due primarily to the funding of
operating losses during the past five quarters.

Net Gain on Dispositions - Sale of Japan Subsidiary

In connection with the Company's restructuring, during the first quarter of 1999
the Company sold its Japan sales subsidiary to Synchro-Work Corporation,  one of
its   sub-distributors  in  Japan,  for  total  consideration  of  approximately
$100,000.  The sale resulted in a gain before taxes of approximately  $1,113,000
primarily due to previously  unrecognized  accumulated currency translation.  In
connection with this sale, the Company and Synchro-Work  also entered into a new
distribution agreement for sales into Japan.

of 2000  differed  from the  statutory  34% tax rate  primarily due to operating
losses for which no tax benefit was recorded.  Tax valuation  reserves increased
by  approximately  $112,000 during the quarter.  As of June 29, 2000 the Company
has valuation reserves of $7,714,000.

Business Restructuring Progress

During the third quarter of 1998, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of
$2.0 million as the Company began the  implementation  of a plan to  restructure
its Redmond and foreign  subsidiary  operations to a level more in line with the
lower sales it was experiencing.  During the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company
recorded further restructuring charges of $2.4 million related to the continuing
restructure of the Company's  Redmond  operations and foreign  subsidiaries  and
related  to  activities   directly  associated  with  the  fourth  quarter  1998
acquisition of SMS Holding GmbH ("SMS").  The acquisition of SMS created certain
redundancies in product offerings and in the operations of the combined company.
A  restructuring  plan was  implemented  after the  acquisition was completed to
eliminate such redundant operations and to phase out overlapping products.

The  total  number  of  employees  terminated  due to the  restructure  was  133
(approximately  39% of the total  workforce).  Employees  were  terminated  from
almost all areas of the Company. Total involuntary termination benefits paid and
charged against the restructure  reserve were approximately $2.0 million.  Total
facility  consolidation  and abandonment  costs incurred and charged against the
restructure  reserve  were  approximately  $293,000.  Other  exit costs paid and
charged against the restructure  reserve,  including legal and consulting  fees,
settlements with suppliers and fixed asset disposals,  were  approximately  $1.7
million.  The  Company's  activities  under  its  restructuring  plans  are  now
substantially complete.

The Company reversed  portions of the restructure  reserve at two separate times
as it became  apparent  that  certain  provisions  made at the time the original
restructure   reserve  was  established  in  1998  required   adjusting  as  the
restructuring  plan was  implemented.  During  the  second  quarter  of 1999 the
Company reversed $215,000 of restructure reserve due to the Company's settlement
of  certain  supplier  related  claims for less than had been  anticipated,  and
during the second quarter of 2000 the Company  reversed  $255,000 of restructure
reserve primarily due to charges related to facility  consolidations  being less
than had been  anticipated.  The remaining  reserve at June 29, 2000 of $159,000
relates  primarily to facility  abandonment which will be paid out over the next
six quarters.

Discontinued Operations

In November 1997 the Company entered into a licensing agreement and an agreement
to  sell  certain  assets  of its  Synario  Design  Automation  Division  to MIN
Washington  Incorporated.  This  transaction  discontinued  the  Synario  Design
Automation  Division  operations of the Company.  However,  the Company received
certain licensing revenues related to its Synario, ABEL and ECS products through
the second  quarter 1999,  and  recognized  net earnings of $831,000 from source
code sales and  training  and  support  services  provided  during the first six
months of 1999.  Operating results of this discontinued  division are classified
as discontinued operations in the financial statements.

------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------- -------------------- -------------------
</TABLE>
Working capital  decreased  during the first six months of 2000 primarily due to
funding of the losses for the period.  Cash,  cash  equivalents  and  marketable
securities,  which decreased  approximately $5.1 million during the period, were
used to fund losses and to increase  inventory by approximately  $2.8 million as
the Company has ramped up production  of its newly  introduced  products.  Also,
accounts  receivable  increased by approximately  $1.4 million due to the higher
sales.

As of June 29, 2000,  the Company had no debt  outstanding.  No borrowings  were
outstanding under the $400,000 German subsidiary line of credit. The Company did
not renew its $4.0  million  US line of credit  line when it expired in May 2000
but intends to put into place a working  capital credit line of a similar nature
during the third or fourth quarter of 2000.

                                     Page 12

The  Company  estimates  that  capital  expenditures  for  property,  plant  and
equipment  during  the  remainder  of 2000  will be  between  $600,000  and $1.0
million.  The  Company  believes  that cash,  cash  equivalents  and  marketable
securities  will  besufficient  to meet current and  anticipated  future capital
expenditures.  Although the Company expects that such expenditures will be made,
it has purchase commitments for only a small portion of this amount.

At June 29, 2000, the Company's material  short-term unused sources of liquidity
consisted of approximately $8.1 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities and available  borrowings of approximately  $400,000 under its German
subsidiary line of credit. The Company believes these sources and cash flow from
operations will be sufficient to fund its working capital needs.

Share repurchase program

Under a previously announced share repurchase program, the Company is authorized
to repurchase up to 1,123,800  shares  (approximately  15.2%) of its outstanding
common stock.  These purchases may be executed  through open market purchases at
prevailing  market prices,  through block  purchases or in privately  negotiated
transactions,  and may commence or be  discontinued  at any time. As of June 29,
2000, the Company has repurchased 1,016,200 shares under this repurchase program
at a total cost of approximately  $7.1 million.  The Company has not repurchased
shares  under this plan since the second  quarter of 1997  although it still has
the authority to do so.

General

Impact of Year 2000

In prior years,  the Company  discussed  the nature and progress of its plans to
become Year 2000 ready.  In 1999,  the Company  completed  its  remediation  and
testing of systems.  As a result of those planning and  implementation  efforts,
the  Company   experienced  no  significant   disruptions  in  mission  critical
information technology and non-information technology systems and believes those
systems  successfully  responded  to the Year  2000  date  change.  The  Company
expensed  approximately  $300,000  through  December 30, 1999 in connection with
remediating  its  systems.  The  Company is not aware of any  material  problems
resulting from Year 2000 issues, either with its products, its internal systems,
or the  products  and services of third  parties.  The Company will  continue to
monitor its mission  critical  computer  applications and those of its suppliers
and vendors throughout the year 2000 to ensure that any latent Year 2000 matters
that may arise are addressed promptly.

European monetary conversion

On  January  1,  1999,  the  European  Economic  and  Monetary  Union (the "EMU"
introduced  the  Euro,  which  became a  functional  legal  currency  of the EMU
countries. From 1999 to 2001 business in the EMU member states has been and will
be  conducted  in both the  existing  national  currency,  such as the  Franc or
Deutsche Mark, and the Euro.

The  Company has taken  certain  steps to ensure  that its  financial  and other
software systems are capable of processing  transactions  and properly  handling
EMU  currencies,  including  the Euro.  The Company will continue to assess what
further impact the EMU formation will have on both its internal  systems and its
products  sold.  The  costs  related  to  addressing  this  issue  have not been
determined,  however,  management believes that this issue and its related costs
will not have a material  adverse  effect on the Company's  business,  financial
condition and operating results.
