NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2003

1.   Basis of Presentation
 
    The accompanying interim financial statements are unaudited but include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments), which Cohu, Inc. (the “Company” or “Cohu”) considers necessary for a fair statement of the results for the period. The operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the entire year or any future period. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included elsewhere herein.
 
    Revenue Recognition
 
    Cohu’s revenue recognition policy is disclosed in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. As more fully described in that policy, revenue from products that have not previously satisfied customer acceptance is recognized upon customer acceptance. The gross profit on sales that are not recognized is generally recorded as deferred profit and reflected as a current liability in the consolidated balance sheet.
 
    The Company has an $8.5 million contract to provide microwave communications equipment for a command center and infrastructure system. The contract, which utilizes the Company’s most advanced microwave communications technology that has not been installed in an application of this size and complexity, requires that 40% of the total contract price be paid after the system has been fully accepted by the customer. As a result of these factors and the inability to make reasonably dependable estimates of progress toward completion and acceptance, the Company will recognize all revenue and related costs under this contract in the period the system is accepted by the customer. Through September 30, 2003, the Company has deferred approximately $2.2 million of revenue under the contract.
 
    At September 30, 2003, the Company had deferred revenue totaling approximately $16.5 million and deferred profit of $7.8 million. At December 31, 2002, the Company had deferred revenue totaling approximately $9.8 million and deferred profit of $5.2 million. The increase in deferred revenue and profit is primarily related to the deferral of revenue on certain semiconductor test handler upgrades and new test handlers and microwave communications equipment that have been shipped and installed and are awaiting customer acceptance.
 
    Stock-Based Compensation
 
    Cohu has several stock-based compensation plans that are described more fully in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. Cohu accounts for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share if Cohu had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation.

    Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
    In June, 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. Statement No. 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3. The adoption of Statement No. 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, including Cohu’s recent Columbus, Ohio and Littleton, Massachusetts’s facilities consolidations.
 
    In November, 2002, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. EITF Issue No. 00-21 provides guidance on how to account for arrangements that involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets. The provisions of EITF Issue No. 00-21 apply to revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of EITF Issue No. 00-21 did not have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
 
    In January, 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (“FIN 46”), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51. FIN 46 provides guidance on: 1) the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than through voting rights, known as “variable interest entities” (“VIEs”); and 2) which business enterprise is the primary beneficiary and when it should consolidate the VIE. This new model for consolidation applies to entities: 1) where the equity investors (if any) do not have a controlling financial interest; or 2) whose equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without receiving additional subordinated financial support from other parties. In addition, FIN 46 requires that both the primary beneficiary and all other enterprises with a significant variable interest in a VIE make additional disclosures. FIN 46 is effective for all new VIEs created or acquired after January 31, 2003. For VIEs created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 must be applied no later than the end of periods ending after December 15, 2003. Certain disclosures are effective immediately. The adoption of FIN 46 is not expected to effect our results of operations or financial condition.
 
    In April, 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This statement provides clarification on the financial accounting and reporting of derivative instruments and hedging activities and requires contracts with similar characteristics to be accounted for on a comparable basis. The adoption of No. 149, which is be effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, had no material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2003

    In May, 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. This statement establishes standards on the classification and measurement of financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity and is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003. The implementation of this pronouncement had no material effect on Cohu’s financial condition or results of operations.
