NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE UNAUDITED THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997
1. Basis of Presentation of Interim Financial Data
The financial information herein for the three month and six month periods ended
June 30, is unaudited; however, such information reflects all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim
periods. The interim statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and the notes thereto included in the Interlink Electronics, Inc.
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996.
The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
2. Bank Line of Credit
In May 1997 the Company's bank renewed the existing credit line and increased
the maximum amount of the line to $2 million. In June 1997 the Company borrowed
$1 million against the line.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997, revenues increased 44%
and 49%, respectively, as compared to the same periods of 1996. Revenues for the
Computer Pointing Devices product line were $4.2 million, an increase of 49%
from the prior year, for the three months ended June 30, 1997, and were $8.0
million, an increase of 60% for the six month comparison. The growth in this
product line resulted from the Company's further penetration into the computer
integration pointing device and retail markets. The Company's patented Versapad
touchpad facilitated the growth in the computer integration market. The
introduction of a wireless keyboard enhanced the Company's sales and presence in
the retail market. Revenues for the Custom Applications products line increased
18% for the three month period ended June 30, 1997, and decreased 5% for the six
month period ended June 30, 1997. This relatively flat performance is due to
Company's strategy to focus on the Computer Pointing Devices product line. For
the quarter ended June 30, 1997, the Custom Applications product line accounted
for 11% of total revenues, down from 14% in the same period of 1996. The Company
expects that the Custom Applications product line will continue to decline as a
percentage of total revenues in succeeding periods.
As a percent of revenues, gross profit declined to 43% from 50% for both the
three and six month periods ended June 30,1997, as compared to same periods of
1996. The decline in gross profit percentage reflects a greater mix of high
volume OEM, which carry a relatively lower profit margin and the introduction of
new products which carry relatively higher startup costs. The Company expects
gross profit percentages to remain slightly above or below the current level
depending on sales mix.
Product development and research expenses were 8% of revenues for the three and
six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1997. The Company continues to develop
products based on its proprietary VersaPoint technology (which was developed in
1992). Given the industries the Company participates in, management expects
minimum research and development costs to remain at or near the current level.
For the three months and six months ended June 30, 1997, selling, general and
administrative costs decreased to 28% and 29% of revenues, respectively, as
compared to 36% and 38% for the same periods of 1996. The decrease resulted from
the leveraging of fixed S,G & A costs over a higher sales base and the greater
mix of OEM sales which carry a relatively lower S,G & A requirement.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At June, 1997 working capital totaled $9.4 million as compared to $9.0 million
at December 31, 1996. This increase is primarily a result of the Company's
positive operating results in the first three months of 1997 and $300,000 in
proceeds from the exercise of stock options.
For the six months ended June 30, 1997, operations used $2.5 million in cash due
primarily to an increase in inventory and receivables as necessitated by the
revenue growth and the build-up of inventory related to products expected to be
introduced in the third quarter of 1997. As the Company is aggressively seeking
customers in the computer retail industry and in Japan, both areas known for
extended payment policies, operations may continue to be a net user of cash
despite profitable results.
For the six months of 1997, investing activities comprised the purchase of
production equipment and the furtherance of intellectual property.
For the six months ended June 30, 1997, financing activities resulted in
proceeds of approximately $1.2 million from the exercise of employee stock
options and borrowing on the Company's credit line, net of debt service
obligations.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
From time to time the Company may issue forward-looking statements that involve
a number of risks and uncertainties. The following are among the factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking
statements: business conditions and growth in the electronics industry and
general economies, both domestic and international; lower than expected customer
orders, delays in receipt of orders or cancellation of orders; competitive
factors, including increased competition, new product offerings by competitors
and price pressures; the availability of third party parts and supplies at
reasonable prices; changes in product mix; significant quarterly performance
fluctuations due to the receipt of a significant portion of customer orders and
product shipments in the last month of each quarter; and product shipment
interruptions due to manufacturing problems. The forward looking statements
contained in this document regarding industry trends, revenue and product mix,
costs and margin expectations, product development and introductions, operating
expense improvements, and future business activities should be considered in
light of these factors.
