                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (unaudited)



NOTE 1 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been
prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, these statements have
been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements
and include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments,
necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and
results of operations for the interim periods. 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 such rules and regulations. These consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial
statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1995.

The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of FLIR Systems, Inc.
and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated. The results of the interim period are not necessarily indicative of
the results for the entire year.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years' data to conform with
the current year's presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on
previously reported results of operations or shareholders' equity.

NOTE 2 -- REVENUE RECOGNITION:

Revenue is recognized when products are shipped or when services are performed,
except for certain long term contracts which are recorded on the
percentage-of-completion method. The percentage-of-completion method is used for
research and development contracts and for production contracts which require
significant amounts of initial engineering and development costs. The
percentage-of-completion is determined by relating the actual costs incurred to
date to total estimated costs to complete the respective contract.


NOTE 3 -- NET EARNINGS PER SHARE:

Net earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares of
common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the periods,
computed using the treasury stock method for stock options.

NOTE 6 -- OPTIMAS MERGER:

On January 19, 1996, the Company completed a merger with Optimas Corporation
whereby a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("FLIR Merger Sub") was merged
with and into Optimas ("the Merger"). Upon the consummation of the Merger,
Optimas survived and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and FLIR
Merger Sub ceased to exist. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger, Optimas
Convertible Debentures, which had a fair market value at December 31, 1995
estimated to be $2,465,000, were converted into approximately 198,000 shares of
the Company's common stock and each outstanding share of Optimas common stock
was converted into 0.03122 of a share of the Company's common stock or
approximately 221,000 shares. In addition, outstanding employee stock options to
purchase Optimas common stock were converted into options to purchase
approximately 40,000 shares of FLIR common stock.

The transaction was accounted for as a pooling of interests and therefore, all
prior period financial statements presented have been restated as if the merger
took place at the beginning of such periods.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

      Overall. Net earnings for the three months ended March 31, 1996 decreased
86.6%, from $416,000, or $0.08 per share, in the first quarter of 1995 to
$56,000, or $0.01 per share, in the first quarter of 1996. The decrease in net
earnings despite the increase in overall revenues was principally due to
increases in both research and development expenses as a result of ongoing
product development and improvement activities, and selling and other operating
costs due to the expansion of sales and marketing personnel at both FSI and
Optimas.

      Revenues. The Company's revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1996
increased 22.1%, from $9.2 million in the first quarter of 1995 to $11.2 million
in the first quarter of 1996. Industrial imaging systems revenues continue to
show significant growth increasing 37.0% from $3.5 million in the first quarter
of 1995 to $4.8 million in the first quarter of 1996. The improvement was
primarily attributable to the continued strong sales of the Prism family of
products, principally the Prism DS. Revenues from the sale of night vision
systems and sensors increased 13.0%, from $5.7 million in the first quarter of
1995 to $6.5 million in the first quarter of 1996. This growth was primarily due
to the increased sales of the SAFIRE thermal imaging system.

The Company is continuing to work through a variety of supplier-related
difficulties, as well as the complexities of dealing with a much more complex
and extensive manufacturing process for the industrial product line. While
overall output increased on a quarter-to-quarter basis, the rate of improvement
was less than expected. Some of the Company's suppliers also experienced yield
declines due to higher production rates, which further limited the Company's
ability to effectively increase production. The Company has addressed these
problems with each of the suppliers by working with them to improve output. In
addition, the Company has qualified additional suppliers to ensure there is
sufficient material to meet the Company's growing demand. This has been an
ongoing process and the Company is just now beginning to see improved yields.
The results for the quarter, however, reflect the lingering effects of both the
NVSS contract delays and the production issues in the Company's industrial
business.

As a percentage of total revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1996, revenues
from the sale of night vision systems and sensors constituted 57.7% and revenues
from the sale of industrial imaging systems constituted 42.3%. This compares to
62.3% for night vision systems and sensors and 37.7% for industrial imaging
systems for the first quarter of 1995. These figures indicate that sales of the
Company's industrial imaging products continue to account for an increaseing
percentage of the Company's total revenue. Management expects this trend to
continue.

Revenues from sales outside the United States decreased significantly as a
percentage of total revenues from approximately 71.9% to approximately 40.4% for
the quarters ended March 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively. This decrease was
principally attributable to increased deliveries to U.S. Governmental customers
and slight reductions in deliveries under the terms of existing international
contracts. Management anticipates that revenues from international sales as a
percentage of total revenues will continue to comprise a significant percentage
of revenues.


                                       8
<PAGE>   9
      Gross profit. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit decreased slightly
from 56.9% in the first quarter of 1995 to 53.3% in the first quarter of 1996.
The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenues in the first quarter of
1996 compared to the first quarter of 1995 was principally attributable to the
decrease in the proportion of higher margin international sales and increased
shipments to agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government which
aggregated $2.5 million in the first quarter of 1996 compared to $1.5 million in
the first quarter of 1995, and to increased production costs of the industrial
product lines. Gross profit percentages are affected by a variety of factors,
including the mix of domestic and international night vision sales, the more
competitive nature of the industrial imaging market, and the impact of
competitive bids for significant government contracts.

      Research and development. Research and development expense for the quarter
as a percentage of revenues decreased from 20.4% to 18.8% for the three months
ended March 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively. However, in absolute dollar terms,
research and development expense increased from $1.9 million in the first
quarter of 1995 to $2.1 million in the first quarter of 1996. The decrease as a
percentage of sales and increase in absolute dollar terms reflects the fact that
a large percentage of research and development expense is fixed in nature. The
overall level of research and development expense, in absolute dollar terms,
reflects the continued emphasis on product development and new product
introductions.

      Selling and other operating costs. Selling and other operating costs as a
percentage of revenues increased slightly from 31.9% in the first quarter of
1995 to 33.3% in the first quarter of 1996. In absolute dollar terms selling and
other operating costs increased from $2.9 million to $3.7 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively. These increases were due to
costs associated with increased revenues during the quarter (primarily
commissions), expenses related to the operations of the Company's two
subsidiaries, BSS and Optimas, and to increased sales and marketing personnel as
the Company continues to expand and strengthen the direct sales and marketing
staff at both FSI and Optimas.

      Income taxes. The provision for income taxes for the quarter ended March
31, 1996 resulted in an effective tax rate of 22.2% compared to 12.1% for the
quarter ended March 31, 1995. The increase in the effective tax rate is
primarily due to the fact that the Company has utilized all of its internally
generated net operating loss carryforwards. The effective tax rate remains
substantially below statutory rates due to utilization of a portion of the
Company's acquired net operating loss carryforwards, utilization of various tax
credits, and benefits from the favorable tax treatment of international
revenues.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At March 31, 1996, the Company had short term borrowings net of cash on hand of
$1.4 million compared with $902,000 at December 31, 1995. The increase in the
short term borrowings during the three months ended March 31, 1996, was
principally attributable to increased inventory levels and reduction of current
liabilities. These activities were funded, in part, by the significant reduction
in accounts receivable during the quarter.


                                       9
<PAGE>   10
Much of the increase in the inventory balance, from $23.7 million at December
31, 1995 to $26.1 million at March 31, 1996, was due to the build up of
components due to production constraints related to the Prism DS camera and an
increase in components in anticipation of SAFIRE deliveries to the U.S.
Government in the second and third quarters of this year. Because of the
extremely long lead times for many of the most expensive components, it is
necessary to have inventory on hand to meet the required delivery schedules.

The Company has available a $6.0 million line of credit which bears interest at
the prime rate. At March 31, 1996, the Company had $2.3 million outstanding on
this line.

The Company believes that its existing cash, cash generated from operations, and
available credit facilities will be sufficient to meet its cash requirements for
the foreseeable future.

             consummation of the Merger, Optimas survived and became a
             wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and FLIR Merger Sub ceased
             to exist. The merger was recorded as a pooling of interests for
             accounting purposes.

             On March 19, 1996, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K
             with the Securities and Exchange Commission reporting the required
             financial information on combined revenues and net loss of the
             Company and Optimas for 30 days of post-acquisition combined
