NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A - UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles and include all adjustments which
are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the
results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are, in the
opinion of management, of a normal recurring nature. Results for the three
month period ended June 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the operating
results to be expected for the full year.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these
consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's
annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended March 31, 1998.
NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY: Perceptronics, Inc., the "Company" designs,
develops and manufactures computer-based simulation systems for training and
decision support.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Perceptronics, Inc., (the "Company") and its wholly owned
subsidiary. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION: The accompanying financial statements have been prepared
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate
continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has sustained
operating losses in recent years and requires substantial amounts of working
capital in its operations. At June 30,1998, current liabilities exceed current
assets by $462,000. The Company continues to have difficulty in meeting its
obligations as they become due, however, this condition has improved from the
previous year. Payments to vendors, totaling approximately $283,000 at June 30,
1998 are past due and certain vendors continue to require cash in advance or on
delivery terms for goods and services. The Company's cash flow during fiscal
1998 was sufficient to meet current operating requirements but the Company
continues to have difficulty making satisfactory progress toward liquidating its
past due obligations. In order to conserve cash, management has reduced staff,
employee benefits, and other operating expenditures. Even if the Company
overcomes its short term liquidity problems, the ability of the Company to
operate profitably and generate sufficient positive cash flows cannot be
predicted. The Company's consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and
classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that
may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going
concern.
CASH EQUIVALENTS: All highly liquid investments maturing in three months or
less when purchased are considered as cash equivalents.
RESTRICTED CASH: Represents short term investments that have been pledged as
collateral in conjunction with letters of credit guarantees required by the
foreign contract with the Government of Egypt.
7 of 17
<PAGE>
INVENTORY: Inventory is stated at cost, which is not in excess of market. Cost
is determined principally by the first-in, first-out method.
PRECONTRACT COSTS: Costs incurred in connection with contracts which have not
been signed at the balance sheet date (but where recoverability is probable) are
accounted for as precontract costs. No revenues or profits have been recognized
on these costs. There were no precontract costs deferred at June 30, 1998 and
March 31, 1998.
EQUIPMENT AND LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS: Equipment and leasehold improvements are
stated at cost. Depreciation of equipment is provided for by the straight-line
method over their estimated useful lives, which range from 3 to 5 years.
Amortization of leasehold improvements is provided for by the straight-line
method over the shorter of the useful lives or the terms of the leases.
REVENUE RECOGNITION: All sales were recorded using the
percentage-of-completion (cost to cost) method of accounting. Under this
method, sales are recorded as costs (including general and administrative
expenses) are incurred, plus a portion of the profit expected to be realized
on each contract in the ratio that costs incurred to date bear to total
estimated cost at completion. General and administrative expenses in excess
of rates billed on contracts are recorded in the period incurred. Costs
related to anticipated future losses on contracts are accrued and charged to
expense in the period when the losses are identified.
INCOME TAXES: Provisions for federal and state income taxes are calculated on
reported financial statement income based on the current tax law. Such
provisions differ from the amounts currently payable because certain items of
income and expense, known as temporary differences, are recognized in different
tax periods for financial reporting purposes than for income tax purposes.
Deferred income taxes are the result of the recognition of tax benefits that
management expects to realize from the utilization of net operating loss
carryforwards. The amounts recorded are net of a valuation allowance and
represent management's estimate of the amount that is more likely than not to be
realized.
PER SHARE DATA: Per share data is based upon the weighted average number of
shares of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding using
the treasury stock method. Refer to Note F for a reconciliation of the shares
used to compute earnings per share.
USE OF ESTIMATES: Company mamagement has made a number of estimates and
assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting prionciples. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates.
NOTE C - RECEIVABLES
Billed receivables at March 31, 1998 and June 30, 1998 are $263,524 and $661,843
respectively. These balances represent amounts that have been invoiced on
commercial and United States Government contracts that remain unpaid at the end
of the respective periods.
Unbilled receivables at March 31, 1998 and June 30, 1998 are $1,160,458 and
$754,038 respectively. These balances represent amounts recognized under the
percentage-of-completion method of accounting that have not been billed because
of the billing terms of the contracts.
The amount of contract retention included in unbilled receivables was $147,000
at March 31, 1998 and $116,000 at June 30, 1998.

NOTE F - NET INCOME PER SHARE
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings per Share" which,
when adopted, will replace the current methodology for calculating and
presenting earnings per share. Under SFAS No. 128, primary earnings per share
will be replaced with a presentation of basic earnings per share and fully
diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is
computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings
per share is computed similarly to fully diluted earnings per share. The
statement became effective beginning in the Company's third quarter ended
December 31, 1997. A reconciliation of shares used to compute earnings per
share for the three month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 are as follows:

Item 2. Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results
of operations.
GENERAL
Perceptronics , Inc., (the "Company") designs, develops and manufactures
computer-based simulation systems for training and decision support. These
systems include both hardware and software. The Company's simulators are used to
train personnel in the use of various military and commercial equipment,
including weapons, vehicles and aircraft. In the decision support area, the
Company's computer software systems are used to enhance command and control
operations, for process modeling and simulation, and for management of
concurrent engineering activities in product development and manufacturing. Much
of the Company's business is in the foreign defense industry where the Company
has built an international reputation. The following discussion is based on the
unaudited consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report.
The unaudited financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principals, which contemplate continuation of the
Company as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and
classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of the liabilities
that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a
going concern. See Note B of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NET SALES. Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1998 decreased by
$146,000 or 15% compared to the comparable three-month period in the prior
fiscal year. Sales of training simulator systems decreased $173,000 or 22% as a
result of the timing of contracts for the export sales of TOW PGTS simulator
systems. During the three months ended June 30, 1997, the Company completed one
subcontract and started a second subcontract for TOW PGTS simulator systems
being built for a foreign customer. This resulted in a strong quarter for
training simulator sales. During the three month period ended June 30, 1998, the
Company worked on the early phase of a TOW PGTS simulator systems contract for
the Government of Egypt which resulted in quarterly sales that where not as
strong as the previous years first quarter. Simulation network technology
sales increased $55,000 or 38% as a result of recent contract awards that
produced increased activity on U. S. Government cost reimbursable contracts.
Science and technology sales decreased $34,000 due to the completion in the
previous quarter of a contract for the design of a medication dispenser
monitoring device.
COST OF SALES. Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 1998
decreased 23% as a result of the 15% reduction in sales discussed above and
improved profit margins on TOW PGTS simulator system sales. Cost of sales as a
percentage of sales during the three months ended June 30, 1998 was 60% compared
to 67% during the three-month period ended June 30, 1997.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $72,000 or 41% in the three-month period
ended June 30, 1998 compared to the comparable three-month period in the prior
fiscal year. This increase was primarily due to the cost of the year-end audit,
consulting fees associated with the development of commercialized networking
software products for on-line multi-player games and increased foreign marketing
expense. The Company's management continues to pursue cost reduction measures
consistent with the level of business wherever opportunities can be identified.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. During the current fiscal year, the Company
plans to incur research and development expenses associated with the development
and commercialization of network software products for on-line, multi-player
games involving complex 3D environments consistent with the Company's financial
resources. During the three
11 of 17
<PAGE>
months ended June 30, 1998, the Company incurred $6,000 of internally funded
research and development costs.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense decreased 4% or $3,000 in the three-month
period ended June 30, 1998 compared to the comparable three-month period in the
prior fiscal year. Interest expense applicable to the export credit facility was
comparable between the two three month periods.
BACKLOG. The Company's firm contract backlog was $3.5 million at June 30, 1998,
compared to $4.5 million at June 30, 1997. The term "firm contract backlog"
refers to the aggregate revenue remaining under contracts held by the Company
and includes both funded and unfunded amounts. At June 30, 1998 and 1997 all
backlog was funded.
In July 1998, the Company was awarded a contract under the California Technology
Investment Partnership Program, which provides $250,000 of supplemental funding
for federal technology awards. This award will be used to fund development and
commercialization of network software products for on-line, multi-player games
involving complex 3D environments.
Certain of the Company's contracts extend to customers the option to buy
additional products and services at specified prices over a specified period of
time. There is no assurance that any contract option will be exercised. At June
30, 1998, the option backlog was $ 12.6 million.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.
With unrestricted cash balances of $26,000 at June 30, 1998, the Company's
principal source of liquidity continues to be the Company's export credit
facility, vendor credit and cash flow generated from operations. The Company
had negative working capital of $462,000 at June 30, 1998, compared to negative
working capital of $500,000 at March 31, 1998. The Company has experienced
severe liquidity problems in the past and continues to have difficulty in
meeting its obligations as they come due. With respect to foreign contracts for
TOW PGTS simulator systems, an export credit facility is in place to provide the
cash flow required to perform on these contracts. Payments to vendors for
materials needed for the contracts are generally in advance or on delivery terms
and are being funded through the credit facility. At June 30, 1998, vendor
accounts totaling $262,000 are past due and are being liquidated as positive
cash flow permits. The Company is making good progress in reducing this balance,
however the lack of sufficient working capital continues to restrict the
Company's ability to expand its revenue base. See Note B of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements, which is hereby incorporated herein by
reference.
The Company's short-term strategy is to increase its domestic and foreign
defense contract revenue base in order to generate sufficient cash flow from
operations and to reduce current liabilities. A major part of the Company's
long-term strategy will be to focus on the development of commercial products
derived from the Company's defense related technology and expertise in order to
reduce the Company's dependence on defense contracts. The SBIR InterGame
software contract of $748,000, and the recently awarded California Technology
Investment Partnership contract of $250,000, mentioned above in the backlog
section, will provide funding that will enable the Company to use it's defense
related technology to develop commercial software products. The Company was
successful in obtaining commitments for the required equity funding of
approximately $375,000, of which $271,000 has been funded, to satisfy the self
funding requirements of the SBIR contract. The Company's ability to pursue its
long-term strategy will depend on generating sufficient cash flow from
operations to finance new product development. There can be no assurance that
this strategy will be successful. The Company is exploring alternative sources
for financing as well as potential business combinations in order to meet the
short and long-term objectives.

<PAGE>
The export credit facility mentioned above was obtained in October 1997 from a
commercial lender and enables the Company to borrow up to $1,666,000 to be used
in conjunction with it's export contracts. The credit facility is guaranteed by
the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and the California Export Finance
Office (CEFO). The borrowings bear interest at 3.0 points above prime rate and
are secured by a lien placed on the Company's general assets. Borrowings occur
on the credit facility as work progresses on the contract. The borrowings are
repaid with proceeds received from the delivery of finished units. At June 30,
1998, borrowings outstanding against the line totaled $1,475,000. The Company
also has a short term note payable of $84,000 with the same export lender, which
matures September 30, 1998 and bears interest at 14% per annum. The Company is
currently using the credit facility and the funds from the short-term note to
finance the production of TOW PGTS simulator systems for the Government of
Egypt.
The Company currently has a $200,000 note payable with a bank that is due in
Novermber 2002 and is guaranteed by SBA. At June 30, 1998 the principal balance

starting in July 1998. During July 1998, the Company received payments from
investors of $225,000.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
The year 2000 issue results from computer programs that do not differentiate
between the year 1900 and the year 2000 because they were written using two
digits rather than four to define the applicable year; accordingly computer
systems that have time-sensitive calculations may not properly recognize the
year 2000. The Company has conducted an initial review of it's computer system
to identify whether the system is year 2000 compliant. The computer equipment
and software currently used by the Company is an older generation and will be
effected by the year 2000 problem. The Company is assessing current generation
systems and plans to replace the existing computer system. While the Company
does not know what the total cost associate with becoming year 2000 compliant
will be the Company feels that it will not be material. By the end of 1998, the
Company plans to complete it's review of new computer systems and to make a
selection to replace the system currently in use. However, there can be no
assurance that software incompatibility with the year 2000 issue on the part of
the Company's customers and suppliers will not cause an interruption of
operations or that the Company will not have to incur substantial cost to avoid
such occurrences.
