SUPER VISION INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:


         PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Super
         Vision International, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Oasis
         Waterfalls, LLC (collectively, the "Company"). All significant
         inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

         On October 18, 1999, Super Vision International, Inc. entered into an
         Asset Purchase Agreement with Oasis Falls International, Inc. and Maas
         Industries to acquire substantially all of the assets of these
         businesses in the amount of $132,812, in exchange for 31,250 shares of
         the Company's Class A Common Stock, par value $.001 per share. The
         assets acquired include inventory, tooling, machinery and certain
         intangible assets relating to tooling and intellectual property rights.

         Proforma consolidated results of operations were not prepared as if the
         acquisition had occurred at the beginning of fiscal year 1999 since the
         acquisition was not significant. The acquisition has been accounted for
         under the purchase method of accounting with assets acquired recorded
         at fair market value as of the effective acquisition date, and the
         operating results of the acquired business included in the Company's
         consolidated financial statements from that date. The excess of the
         purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired
         (goodwill) aggregated approximately $26,000, and is being amortized on
         a straight-line basis over 7 years.

         In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed
         consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting
         only of normal recurring accruals necessary to present fairly the
         Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations and
         cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the
         interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results
         to be expected for the full year.

         The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
         conjunction with the financial statements and the related disclosures
         contained in the Company's Form 10-KSB dated March 29, 2000, filed with
         the Securities and Exchange Commission.

         BUSINESS

         The Company is engaged in the design, manufacture and marketing of
         SIDE-GLOW(R) and END GLOW(R) fiber optic lighting cables, light
         sources, waterfalls and "point-to-point" fiber optic signs and
         displays. The Company's products have a wide variety of applications in
         the signage, swimming pool, architectural, advertising and retail
         industries.

         USE OF ESTIMATES

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
         principles generally accepted in the United States requires management
         to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
         assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent 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

1.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):

         RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

         Research and development costs to develop new products are charged to
         expense as incurred.

         ADVERTISING

         Advertising costs, included in selling, general and administrative
         expenses, are expensed when the advertising first takes place.

         RECLASSIFICATIONS

         Certain prior years amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
         current year's presentations. These reclassifications had no impact on
         operating results previously reported.

         CASH EQUIVALENTS

         Temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or
         less are considered to be cash equivalents.

         INVESTMENTS

         Marketable equity securities and debt securities are classified as
         available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair
         value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in a
         separate component of stockholders' equity. The amortized costs of debt
         securities in this category is adjusted for amortization of premiums
         and accretion of discounts to maturity. Such amortization is included
         in investment income. Realized gains and losses and declines in value
         judged to be other-than-temporary on available-for-sale securities are
         included in investment income. The cost of securities sold are based on
         the specific identification method. Interest and dividends on
         securities classified as available-for-sale are included in investment
         income. There were no material unrealized gains or losses on securities
         at June 30, 2000 or December 31, 1999.

         At June 30, 2000 investments were comprised of U.S. Corporate
         Securities and equity securities of approximately $996,000 and
         $381,000, respectively. The investment in U.S. Corporate Securities
         matures in 2001.

         RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
         Accounting Bulletin No. ("SAB 101"), "Revenue Recognition in Financial
         Statements". SAB 101 summarizes the SEC's views in applying generally
         accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial
         statements. The Company is required to adopt SAB 101 in the fourth
         quarter of fiscal 2000. Management does not expect the adoption of SAB
         101 to have a material effect on the Company's operations or financial
         position.

1.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  (CONTINUED):

         RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS - CONTINUED

         In April 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB
         Interpretation No.44, Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving
         Stock Compensation, an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25. Among
         other issues, that interpretation clarifies the definition of employees
         for purposes of applying Opinion No. 25, the criteria for determining
         whether a plan qualifies as a non-compensatory plan, the accounting
         consequence of various modifications to the terms of a previously fixed
         stock option or award and the accounting for an exchange of stock
         compensation awards in a business combination. This interpretation is
         effective July 1, 2000, but certain conclusions in the interpretation
         cover specific events that occur after either December 15, 1998 or
         January 12, 2000. To the extent that this interpretation covers events
         occurring during the period after December 15, 1998, or January 12,
         2000, but before the effective date of July 1, 2000, the effect of
         applying this interpretation is recognized on a prospective basis from
         July 1, 2000. The Company is currently reviewing stock grants to
         determine the impact, if any, that may arise from implementation of
         this interpretation, although the Company does not expect the impact,
         if any, to be material to the Company's financial statements.

6.       SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

         On November 23, 1998, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase
         Agreement with Cooper Lighting, Inc. ("Cooper"), a subsidiary of Cooper
         Industries, Inc. (a New York Stock Exchange Company trading under the
         symbol "CBE"), pursuant to which the company sold to Cooper 250,369
         shares of its Class A Common Stock, for a purchase price of $2,000,000.
         In addition, the Company entered into a Distributorship Agreement (the
         "Distributorship Agreement") with Cooper and Cooper Industries,
         (Canada), Inc. ("Cooper Canada"), another subsidiary of Cooper
         Industries, Inc., pursuant to which Cooper and Cooper Canada were
         collectively granted the exclusive distribution rights in the United
         States and Canada (the "Territory's Exclusive Market") to the Company's
         fiber optic products in the commercial, residential, industrial,
         institutional, and public transportation markets, including, but not
         limited to, any and all lighting applications in or related to
         architectural lighting, accent lighting, down lighting, display cases,
         landscaping, confinement, explosion-proof, clean rooms, traffic
         signals, signage, outdoor area and emergency /exit lighting. In
         consideration for these rights, Cooper and Cooper Canada collectively
         agreed, in accordance with the terms of the Distributorship Agreement,
         to purchase up to $47,075,000 of the Company's products over a
         five-year period.

         Effective July 10, 2000, Cooper notified the Company that Cooper did
         not meet its minimum purchase commitment for the year ended December
         31, 1999 and will not meet its purchase commitment for the year ending
         December 31, 2000, and further advised the Company that Cooper will not
         make up the deficiencies pursuant to its option in the Distributorship
         Agreement to maintain its exclusive sales rights in the Territory's
         Exclusive Market for the Company's products. Upon this notification,
         the Company exercised its option to not excuse the deficiency and
         terminate Cooper's exclusive rights to distribute, market and sell the
         Company's products within the Territory's Exclusive Market. Effective
         midnight on October 31, 2000, Cooper's exclusive rights for sale of the
         Company's products in the Territory's Exclusive Market will terminate.

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

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
unaudited Condensed Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere
in this report.

The following discussion contains certain forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the "safe-harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995, as amended, the attainment of which involve various risks
and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of
forward-looking terminology such as "may", "will", "should", "expect", "plan",
"believe", "estimate", "anticipate", "continue", "predict", "forecast",
"intend", "potential", or similar terms, variations of those terms or the
negative of those terms. The Company's actual results may differ materially from
those described in these forward-looking statements due to, among other factors,
competition in each of the Company's product areas, dependence on suppliers, the
Company's limited manufacturing experience, the condition of the international
marketplace and the evolving nature of the Company's fiber optic technology.
Additional information concerning these or other factors which could cause
actual results to differ materially from those contained or projected in, or
even implied by, such forward-looking statements is contained in this report and
also from time to time in the Company's other Securities and Exchange Commission
filings. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying the
forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove
inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking
information will prove to be accurate.


THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 VS. 1999

Results of Operations

Revenues are derived primarily from the sale of fiber optic Side Glow(R) and End
Glow(R) cable and light sources, point of purchase fiber optic signs and
displays and sales of fiber optic landscape and task lighting systems. Total
revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2000 were approximately $2,750,000
as compared to approximately $2,341,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1999, an increase of approximately $409,000 or 18%. The increase was primarily
the result of growth in the pool and spa market, up approximately $665,000 or
147% from the prior year revenues due to the Company's exclusive marketing and
sales partner in the pool and spa market, Hayward Pool Products, Inc
("Hayward"). Increased revenues in the pool and spa market were principally
offset by declines in the architectural, international and sign markets of
approximately $192,000, $89,000 and $78,000 respectively. Oasis Waterfalls, LLC,
contributed approximately $116,000 in revenue for the quarter ended June 30,
2000.

Gross margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 was approximately $748,000 or
27% as compared to approximately $699,000 or 30% for the three months ended June
30, 1999. The gross margin is dependent, in part, on product mix, which
fluctuates from time to time. The increase in gross margin from the second
quarter of 1999 was primarily due to increased gross margin generated from the
sale of Oasis Waterfalls, LLC products of approximately $63,000. The reduction
in gross margin percentage is mainly due to a higher mix of sales to Hayward,
which typically generate lower gross margin, due to discount levels established
in the Company's current distributor agreement with Hayward. In addition the
Company increased the reserve for potentially slow moving / obsolete inventory
in the amount of $125,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2000. Excluding the
effect of the inventory adjustment, gross margin for the quarter ended June 30,
2000 was approximately $873,000 or 32%.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $852,000 during
the three months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to approximately $836,000 for
the same period ended 1999, an increase of approximately $16,000 or 2%. The
increase was principally due to selling, general and administrative expense
associated with Oasis Waterfalls, LLC of approximately $14,000.

Research and development costs were approximately $108,000 during the three
months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to approximately $150,000 during the same
period in 1999, a decrease of approximately 28%. The reduction was primarily due
to the cancellation of three product development efforts in mid 1999.

Interest expense of approximately $110,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2000
as compared to approximately $113,000 for the same period last year relates to
the capital lease in connection the Company's facility in Orlando, Florida.

Other income of $25,968 consists primarily of proceeds received from the
sub-lease of the warehouse portion of the facility.

The Company has provided a full valuation allowance against income tax benefits
resulting from losses incurred on operations and as a result there was no
provision for income tax during the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.

The net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was approximately
$(250,000), and $(0.10) per basic and diluted common share, as compared to a net
loss of approximately $(372,000), and $(0.15) per basic and diluted common
share, for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. The reduction in loss is primarily
due to higher gross margin from increased sales and reduced operating expenses.


SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 VS. 1999

Results of Operations

Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2000 were approximately
$5,277,000 as compared to approximately $4,669,000 for the six months ended June
30, 1999 an increase of approximately $608,000 or 13%. The increase was
primarily the result of growth in the pool and spa market, up approximately
$1,269,000 or 130% from the prior year revenues due to the Company's exclusive
marketing and sales partner in the pool and spa market, Hayward. Increased
revenues in the pool and spa market were principally offset by reductions in the
architectural and international markets of approximately $597,000 and $215,000
respectively. Oasis Waterfalls, LLC, contributed approximately $205,000 in
revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2000.

Gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was approximately $1,480,000
or 28% as compared to approximately $1,576,000 or 34% for the six months ended
June 30, 1999. The gross margin is dependent, in part, on product mix, which
fluctuates from time to time. The decline in gross margin from the first six
months of 1999 was primarily due to an increase of $125,000 in the reserve for
potentially slow moving / obsolete inventory in the second quarter of 2000 as
well as a higher mix of pool related product sales to Hayward. Hayward receives
a significant discount off list price based on the Company's current distributor
agreement with Hayward. Excluding the effect of the inventory adjustment, gross
margin was approximately $1,605,000 or 30%.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $1,446,000
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to approximately
$1,464,000 for the same period ended 1999, a decrease of approximately $18,000
or 1%.

Research and development costs were approximately $209,000 during the six months
ended June 30, 2000 as compared to approximately $294,000 during the same period
in 1999, a reduction of 29%. The decline was primarily due to the cancellation
of three product development efforts in mid 1999.

Interest expense of approximately $220,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2000, as compared to approximately $224,000 for the same period last year,
relates to the capital lease in connection the Company's facility in Orlando,
Florida.

Other income of approximately $42,000 consists primarily of funds received in
connection with a supplier settlement in favor of the Company as well as
proceeds received from the sub-lease of the warehouse portion of the facility.

The Company has provided a full valuation allowance against income tax benefits
resulting from losses incurred on operations and as a result there was no
provision for income tax during the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999
respectively.

The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was approximately
$(265,000), or $(0.10) per basic and diluted common share, as compared to net
loss of approximately $(341,000), and $(0.14) per basic and diluted common
share, for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The decrease in loss is primarily
due to reduced operating expenses partially offset by lower gross margin.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 2000 the Company had working capital of approximately of $4,861,000.

Net cash provided by operations amounted to approximately $123,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 compared to approximately $294,000 of cash used by
operating activities for the first half of 1999. The most significant source of
cash was generated by the net reduction of approximately $361,000 in trade
accounts receivable, primarily through the increase in cash collections during
the first six months of 2000. The most significant use of cash was the net
decrease of approximately $265,000 in accounts payable due to the timing of
supplier payments. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 amounted to approximately $92,000 mainly due to capital
expenditures for the purchase of computer equipment, furniture and fixtures,
tooling and additional trade show booth material. Net cash provided by financing
activities for the six months ended June 30, 2000 amounted to approximately
$35,000. Proceeds in the amount of approximately $34,000 from the exercise of
employee stock options were offset by payments of approximately $23,000 on the
capital lease obligation related to the Company facility.

COOPER RELATIONSHIP

On November 23, 1998, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with
Cooper Lighting, Inc. ("Cooper"), a subsidiary of Cooper Industries, Inc. (a New
York Stock Exchange Company trading under the symbol "CBE"), pursuant to which
the Company sold to Cooper 250,369 shares of its Class A Common Stock, for a
purchase price of $2,000,000. In addition, the Company entered into a
Distributorship Agreement (the "Distributorship Agreement") with Cooper and
Cooper Industries, (Canada), Inc. ("Cooper Canada"), another subsidiary of
Cooper Industries, Inc., pursuant to which Cooper and Cooper Canada were
collectively granted the exclusive distribution rights in the United States and
Canada (the "Territory's Exclusive Market") to the Company's fiber optic
products in the commercial, residential, industrial, institutional, and public
transportation markets, including, but not limited to, any and all lighting
applications in or related to architectural lighting, accent lighting, down
lighting, display cases, landscaping, confinement, explosion-proof, clean rooms,
traffic signals, signage, outdoor area and emergency /exit lighting. In
consideration for these rights, Cooper and Cooper Canada collectively agreed, in
accordance with the terms of the Distributorship Agreement, to purchase up to
$47,075,000 of the Company's products over a five-year period.

Effective July 10, 2000, Cooper notified the Company that Cooper did not meet
its minimum purchase commitment for the year ended December 31, 1999 and will
not meet its purchase commitment for the year ending December 31, 2000, and
further advised the Company that Cooper will not make up the deficiencies
pursuant to its option in the Distributorship Agreement to maintain its
exclusive sales rights in the Territory's Exclusive Market for the Company's
products. Upon this notification, the Company exercised its option to not excuse
the deficiency and terminate Cooper's exclusive rights to distribute, market and
sell the Company's products within the Territory's Exclusive Market. Effective
midnight on October 31, 2000, Cooper's exclusive rights for sale of the
Company's products in the Territory's Exclusive Market will terminate.

As a result of this termination the Company will market and distribute its
product through a network of individual lighting agents covering the United
States and Canada. The Company has begun the process of recruiting lighting
agents for the distribution of the Company's products related to the
architectural lighting market and to date the Company has reached agreements to
rehire 54 lighting agents throughout the United States and Canada.

As a result of this change the Company does not expect any significant reduction
in its sales of fiber optics products in the architectural market.
