This Current Report on Form 8-K/A amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by
CyberOptics Corporation (the "Company") on May 20, 1999 (the "Initial 8-K") to
include certain financial information omitted from the Initial Report pursuant
to Item 7(a)(4) of Form 8-K and the consent of independent certified accountants
with respect to the audited financial statements included herein.

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (including the financial statements and pro
forma financial information included herein) contains forward looking statements
regarding the product development efforts, estimated costs for product
completion, potential product release dates, estimated cost of sales and
estimated product sales growth rates for certain technology under development by
HAMA Laboratories, Inc. (HAMA) and recently acquired by the Company. Such
forward looking statements are subject to substantial risks over which the
Company may have little or no control.

Further, although the Company believes the assumptions upon which the accounting
treatment of the acquired HAMA net assets are appropriate, there can be no
assurances that such accounting treatment, upon review by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the SEC), will not be questioned and that adjustments to
the purchase accounting will not be required by the SEC.

To the Board of Directors
and Shareholders of
HAMA Laboratories, Inc.

                         INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT

            We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of HAMA Laboratories,
Inc. as of December 31, 1998, and the related statements of operations,
shareholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.

            We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

            In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of HAMA Laboratories,
Inc. as of December 31, 1998, and the results of its operations, shareholders'
equity and cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                December 31, 1998

NOTE 1 - THE COMPANY AND ITS SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

       HAMA Laboratories, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in California in
May 1993. The Company designs, manufactures and markets laser-based sensory
products primarily for the semiconductor equipment manufacturing industry.

ESTIMATES -

       The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. The most significant area requiring the use of management's estimates
relates to the determination of the allowance for doubtful accounts.

CASH EQUIVALENTS -

       The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents
consist of a money market account in a single bank.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK -

       The Company's product revenues are concentrated in sales to the
semiconductor equipment manufacturing industry, which is a highly competitive,
and rapidly changing industry. Significant technological changes in the industry
or customer requirements, or the emergence of competitive products with new
capabilities or technologies, could adversely affect the Company's operating
results.

       Financial investments that potentially subject the Company to
concentration of credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable.
The credit risk in the Company's accounts receivable is mitigated by the fact
that the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customer's financial
condition and accounts receivable are primarily derived from customers in
California. Generally, no collateral is required. As of December 31, 1998, no
reserves were deemed necessary for estimated credit losses.


                                      -10-
<PAGE>


       Net sales include sales to one customer of approximately $1,200,000 in
1998. Accounts receivable from this customer was approximately $74,000 at
December 31, 1998. Sales to this customer were at the Company's normal trade
payment terms.

       Net purchases include purchases from three vendors of approximately
$217,000 in 1998. Accounts payable to these vendors was approximately $25,000 at
December 31, 1998.

INVENTORIES -

       Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value, with cost
determined using the first-in, first-out method.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT -

       Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on
the straight-line method based on the estimated useful life of three to five
years of the respective assets.

REVENUE RECOGNITION -

       Sales are recognized at the time of shipment.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT -

       Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred.

ADVERTISING -

       Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense for the
year ended December 31, 1998 was approximately $61,000.

INCOME TAXES -

       The Company has elected Subchapter S tax treatment. Accordingly, income
or loss of the Company is passed through to the shareholders and is reported on
their individual income tax returns. A California tax on Subchapter S
corporations of 1.5% of taxable income was paid for 1998.

                      Notes to Interim Financial Statements

                                 March 31, 1999


1.     Interim Reporting:

The interim financial statements presented herein as of March 31, 1999, and for
the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, are unaudited; however, in the
opinion of management, the interim financial statements include all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair
presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the
periods presented.

The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 1999, do
not necessarily indicate the results to be expected for the full year. These
interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
financial statements of HAMA as of and for the year ended December 31, 1998, and
notes thereto, contained in this Amendment No. 1 to the Current Report on Form
8-K.

                        CyberOptics Corporation and HAMA

              Pro Forma Financial Information - Narrative Overview
                                   (Unaudited)

The following unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of March 31, 1999
and statements of income for the year ended December 31, 1998, and for the three
months ended March 31, 1999, give effect to the acquisition of substantially all
of the net assets of HAMA by CyberOptics Corporation ("the Company") using the
purchase method of accounting. The unaudited pro forma combined financial
statements combine the historical consolidated balance sheet and statement of
operations of the Company and the historical balance sheet and statement of
operations of HAMA (collectively "the Entities"). The unaudited pro forma
combined balance sheet as of March 31, 1999, assumes the Entities were combined
as of March 31, 1999. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of income for
the year ended December 31, 1998 and for the three months ended March 31, 1999,
assume the Entities were combined effective January 1, 1998.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements give effect to (i) the
acquisition of HAMA, (ii) the payment of $7.0 million in cash in connection with
the acquisition of the assets of HAMA, and (iii) other adjustments described in
the accompanying notes.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are not necessarily
indicative of the financial position or results of operations of the Company as
they may be in the future or as they might have been for the periods presented
had the Entities actually been combined effective January 1, 1998 or as of the
date of the unaudited pro forma balance sheet. The unaudited pro forma combined
financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with
the historical financial statements of CyberOptics, as filed on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1998 and on Form 10-Q for the three month period
ended March 31, 1999, and the historical financial statements of HAMA, including
the notes to such financial statements, as of December 31, 1998 and for the year
then ended, and as of March 31, 1999 and for the three month periods ended March
31, 1999 and 1998, as set forth in this Form 8-K/A-1. The pro forma adjustments
are based upon information available at this time and upon certain assumptions
that CyberOptics management believes are reasonable in the circumstances.

The purchased in-process research and development consists of HAMA's current
projects to develop laser-based proximity sensors for robotic semiconductor
wafer handling which can potentially be used in a vacuum environment and laser
micrometers that will potentially determine the orientation and alignment of
semiconductor wafers during the production process. The technology under
development for use in these laser-based sensors utilizes a complex combination
of optical components, firmware and electronics, along with customized
microprocessors and mechanical designs. Specific in-process projects as of the
date of acquisition include development of Laser-Based Vacuum Proximity Sensors,
Six-Inch Laser Micrometers, Mini Through Beam Micrometers and Customizable Kit
Micrometers. The Company is uncertain whether the technology being developed for
either the proximity sensors or the laser micrometers will ultimately meet the
technical specifications required for semiconductor wafer handling or be
commercially acceptable.

Based upon an independent third-party appraisal, management estimates that
$771,100 of the purchase price represents the fair value of purchased in-process
research and development related to proximity sensors and laser micrometers that
have not yet reached technological feasibility and have no alternative future
uses. Based on a valuation prepared by an independent third party appraiser, the
acquired in-process research and development is allocable to the four in-process
projects as follows:

Vacuum Proximity Sensors: $82,000         Six-Inch Laser Micrometers: $210,000

Mini Through Beam Micrometers: $55,000    Customizable Kit Micrometers: $424,100

These amounts were expensed as a non-recurring, charge upon consummation of the
acquisition. These amounts have been reflected as a reduction in stockholders'
equity and have not been included in the unaudited pro forma combined statements
of income due to their non-recurring nature.


                                      -21-
<PAGE>



The independent third-party appraiser utilized the alternative income valuation
approach to determine the estimated fair value of the purchased in-process
research and development. These estimates are based on the following
assumptions:


*      The estimated revenues are based upon projected average annual revenue
       growth rates for the proximity sensors and the laser micrometers once
       each technology individually reaches a point of technological feasibility
       and market release. These projections assume that the HAMA sensors under
       development achieve a market share of less than 5% of the factory
       automation sensor market. Estimated total revenues projected for sales of
       proximity sensors and laser micrometers to be developed using the
       purchased in-process research and development peak in the year 2002 and
       decline rapidly starting in 2003 through 2005 as the next generation of
       these systems are expected to enter the market. These projections are
       based on estimates made by the Company's management of the estimated
       sales potential for individual customers, estimated market growth rates
       (supported by independent market data), expected trends in technology and
       the nature and projected timing of the introduction of the next
       generation of systems.

*      The estimated costs of sales as a percentage of revenues are based on the
       estimated costs that management believes could be achieved by HAMA
       without considering any synergies due to the acquisition by the Company.

*      The estimated selling general and administrative expenses are based on
       the estimated expense levels of HAMA through year 2001, and are based
       primarily on expense levels of similar companies and other industry
       comparisons for the years 2002 through 2005, without considering any
       synergies due to the acquisition by the Company.

*      The discount rate utilized in the alternative income valuation approach
       is based on the weighted average cost of capital (WACC). The WACC
       calculation produces the average required rate of return of an investment
       in an operating enterprise. The WACC estimated by the independent
       third-party appraiser for CyberOptics, as a corporate business
       enterprise, is 23.2%. The discount rate used in the alternative valuation
       approach was 35%. This discount rate is higher than the WACC due to the
       inherent uncertainties in the estimates described above including the
       uncertainty surrounding the successful development of the purchased
       in-process research and development, the estimated useful life of such
       completed research and development, the profitability levels of such
       completed research and development and the uncertainty of technological
       advances that are unknown at this time


                                      -22-

The Company estimated that the purchased in-process research projects related to
the vacuum proximity sensors, the six-inch laser micrometers, the through beam
micrometers, and the customizable kit micrometers were 25%, 70%, 20% and 70%
complete, respectively, as of the acquisition date. These estimates were based
upon research and development costs incurred to date compared to total estimated
development costs for each project. As of the date of acquisition, the estimated
cost to complete the vacuum proximity sensors project to a point of
technological feasibility was approximately $150,000, expected to be incurred in
the remainder of 1999. As of the date of the acquisition, the estimated cost to
complete the new six-inch laser micrometers, mini through beam micrometers and
the customizable kit micrometers to a point of technological feasibility was
approximately $122,000, $240,000 and $43,000, respectively, expected to be
incurred primarily in the twelve month period following the acquisition. These
estimates are subject to change, given uncertainties of the development process,
and no assurance can be given that deviations from these estimates will not
occur.

As of the date of acquisition, the Company estimated that the initial vacuum
proximity sensor product to be developed from the purchased in-process research
and development may be introduced during the third quarter of 1999. As of the
date of acquisition, the Company anticipated that the initial six-inch laser
micrometer product to be developed from the purchased in-process research and
development may be introduced during fourth quarter of 1999. The anticipated
introduction date for the customizable kit micrometers is the fourth quarter of
1999 and the through beam micrometer is targeted for introduction in mid-2000.
The Company expects that all the purchased in-process research and development
will reach technological feasibility. However, even if technological feasibility
is achieved (of which there can be no assurance) there can be no assurance that
the commercial viability of the purchased in-process research and development
projects will achieve management's expectations.

As of the date of acquisition, the nature of the development efforts related to
the purchased in-process research and development projects, as well as the
efforts required to complete development of those projects into commercially
viable products are discussed below:

Laser-Based Vacuum Proximity Sensors - Early stage development efforts have
focused on preliminary mechanical and electrical designs, and the completion of
early stage prototypes. Environmental and functional testing have just begun on
the early prototypes. Development to be completed includes obtaining feedback
from the prototype testing and determining the level of additional design work
required to complete final mechanical, electrical and optical designs. Once
these processes are completed, management believes that beta prototypes will be
developed and final testing will be performed on the beta units.



                                      -23-
<PAGE>

Six-Inch Laser Micrometers - Development has focused on completion of the
preliminary mechanical, electrical, CCD (Charge coupled device) receiver and
optics designs. Development prototypes have been completed and initial tests
have been performed. Based on the feedback received from the prototype testing,
additional development efforts will be focused on design changes required for
the six-inch micrometer to meet additional technical specifications. If it is
determined that additional development efforts will potentially allow for
development of a product that will meet its specifications, additional
prototypes will be developed. Further functional testing will be performed and
management believes that beta units will then be developed.

Mini Through Beam Micrometers - This product is in the early stages of
development, and efforts have focused preliminary on mechanical, electrical and
optical designs. Once preliminary design efforts are completed, prototypes will
be developed and tested. Future development efforts will depend on the results
of these prototype test results. However, management would anticipate future
development and testing of beta units following this prototype testing.

Customizable Kit Micrometers - Development has focused on completion of the
preliminary mechanical, electrical, CCD receiver and optics designs. Prototypes
have been completed and initial field testing is underway. Initial test results
indicate that the prototypes are performing up to specification in one
application. However, testing in multiple unique applications will be necessary
before the preliminary testing on adaptability of the modular components will be
completed. Other opportunities for testing prototype in other applications are
being sought. It is anticipated that design changes and modifications to the
firmware will be needed as test results are accumulated and analyzed. If it is
determined that additional development efforts will potentially allow for
development of a product that will meet technical specifications, additional
prototypes will be developed. Further functional testing will be performed and
management then believes that beta units will be developed and tested.

 If these products are not successfully developed the sales and profitability of
the combined company may be adversely affected in future periods.

(5)    Adjustment reflects the elimination of HAMA's historical stockholders'
       equity.

                             CYBEROPTICS CORPORATION
                 NOTES TO PRO FORMA COMBINED STATEMENT OF INCOME
                 FOR THE YEAR THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999
                                   (UNAUDITED)


(1)    Reflects the historical results of operations of CyberOptics as derived
       from the Company's statement of operations for the three months ended
       March 31, 1999 as filed on Form 10-Q.

(2)    Reflects the historical unaudited results of operations of HAMA as
       derived from the unaudited statement of operations of HAMA for the three
       months ended March 31, 1999.

(3)    Reflects the estimated quarterly amortization charge resulting from
       amortization of the $5.9 million of identifiable intangible assets and
       goodwill, over an estimated useful life of 7 years.

(4)    Adjustment reflects the reduction of interest income resulting from the
       liquidation of investments or the use of cash to complete the
       acquisition. The estimated rate of return on investments and the cash
       balance was 5.5%.

(5)    Adjustment reflects contractual reductions in compensation levels for
       executive officers who have entered into employment contracts pursuant to
       which they will be compensated by the Company at levels lower than their
       historical compensation. Such employees are expected to perform duties
       and responsibilites similar to those performed prior to the acquisition
       by the Company. Such adjustment is considered necessary to fairly present
       the impact of the acquisition.

(6)    Adjustment reflects the estimated income tax impact of adjustments (3),
       (4), (5) and the historical net income of HAMA for the three months ended
       March 31, 1999.
