NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 – INTERIM STATEMENTS

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended September 30, 2004, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2005.

     Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with general accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of Tvia, Inc. and subsidiary (“the Company”) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 22, 2004.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES

Use of Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures 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, and such differences could be material and affect the results of operations reported in future periods.

Consolidation

     The condensed consolidated financial statements herein presented include the results and financial position of Tvia and its wholly-owned subsidiary in China. The functional currency of the Chinese subsidiary is the U.S. dollar; accordingly, all gains and losses arising from foreign currency transactions in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments

     The Company considers all highly liquid investment securities with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash and cash equivalents. Management determines the appropriate classification of short-term investments at the time of purchase and evaluates such designations as of each balance sheet date. To date, all short-term investments have been categorized as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, if any, included as a component of accumulated comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity, net of any related tax effects. Interest, dividends and realized gains and losses are included in interest income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Inventories

     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market value and include materials, labor and overhead. Allowances when required are made to reduce excess and obsolete inventories to their estimated net realizable values.

4

Property and Equipment

     Property and equipment are carried at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful life of two to five years. Management has determined asset lives based on their historical experience of technical obsolescence of equipment and the short life of tooling that is specific to certain product families.

Long-Lived Assets

     The Company reviews long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles for impairment. The Company reviews assets to be held and used whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. The Company measures recoverability of assets by comparing their carrying amount to the future undiscounted cash flows that they are expected to generate. Impairment reflects the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds their fair market value.

Revenue Recognition

     The Company recognizes revenue from product sales upon shipment to the original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, and end users provided that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed, title has transferred, collection of resulting receivables is reasonably assured, there are no customer acceptance requirements, and there are no remaining significant obligations. Reserves for sales returns and allowances are recorded at the time of shipment. Our sales to distributors are made under agreements allowing for returns or credits under certain circumstances. The Company defers recognition of revenue on sales to distributors until products are resold by the distributor to the end user. The Company warrants its products; warranty claims historically have been insignificant.

     The Company also sells software development kits and application modules to OEMs. The Company recognizes sales of software development kits and application modules when an agreement has been executed or a definitive purchase order has been received and the product has been delivered, no significant obligations with regard to implementation remain, the fee is fixed and determinable and collectibility is probable. The maintenance portion of the arrangements is recognized over the maintenance period on a straight-line basis.

Software Development Costs

     The Company accounts for software development costs in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed.” The Company has expensed all software development costs to date as substantially all of such development costs have been incurred prior to the Company’s products attaining technological feasibility.

Research and Development Expenses

     Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs of employees engaged in research, design and development activities. The Company expenses all research and development related expenses in the period in which such expenses are incurred.

Income Taxes

     Income taxes are accounted for on the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial and tax basis of assets and liabilities under the provisions of enacted tax laws. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rate is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred taxes to the amounts expected to be realized.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

     Comprehensive income or loss includes all changes in equity during a period from transactions and events from non owner sources. A summary of comprehensive income (loss) is as follows (in thousands):

Stock-Based Compensation

     The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation arrangements using the intrinsic value method as prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB No. 25”) and Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 44 “Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation” (FIN 44). Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the fair value of the Company’s stock at the date of grant over the stock option exercise price. Expense associated with stock-based compensation is amortized on an accelerated basis over the vesting period of the individual award consistent with the method described in Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 28 (“FIN 28”). The Company accounts for stock issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123”), SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, Transition and Disclosure” and Emerging Issues Task Force Consensus No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are offered to other than employees for acquiring or in conjunction with selling goods or services” (“EITF 96-18”). Under SFAS No. 123, SFAS No.148 and EITF 96-18, stock option awards issued to non-employees are accounted for at their fair value, determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing method. The fair value of each non-employee stock option or award is remeasured at each period end until a commitment date is reached, which is generally the vesting date.

     The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to the stock-based employee compensation.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

     Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period plus dilutive common equivalent shares including stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method. Diluted loss per share information is the same as basic net loss per share since common shares issuable upon conversion of the stock options and warrants are antidilutive. The total numbers of shares excluded from diluted net income (loss) per share relating to these securities were 5,845,259 and 5,845,259 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2004, respectively, compared to 1,365,443 and 2,517,897 for the same periods in fiscal year 2004.

     The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share (in thousands except per share amounts):

Note 5. Concentration of Certain Risks

     The Company is subject to the risks associated with similar technology companies. These risks include, but are not limited to: history of operating losses, dependence on a small number of key individuals, customers and suppliers, competition from larger and more established companies, the impact of rapid technological changes and changes in customer demand and requirements.

Significant customers

     Revenues to significant customers, those representing approximately 10% or more of total revenues for the respective periods, are summarized as follows:

     (* = less than 10%)

Concentration of Credit Risk

     Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of bank deposits and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents in checking and money market accounts in financial institutions. The Company’s accounts receivable are derived primarily from sales to OEMs and distributors. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains an allowance for potential doubtful accounts.

     Accounts receivable were concentrated with customers as follows:

     (* = less than 10%)

Vendor Concentration

     The Company does not own or operate a fabrication facility, and accordingly relies substantially on three outside foundries, United Manufacturing Corporation (“UMC”) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (“TSMC”), both located in Taiwan, and HuaHong NEC located in the People’s Republic of China, to supply all of the Company’s semiconductor manufacturing requirements. There are significant risks associated with the Company’s reliance on outside foundries, including the lack of ensured wafer supply, limited control over delivery schedules, quality assurance and control, manufacturing yields and production costs and the unavailability of or delays in obtaining access to key process technologies. Any inability of one of the foundries to provide the necessary components could result in significant delays and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. In the event either foundry suffers financial difficulties or suffers any damage or destruction to its respective facilities, or in the event of any other disruption of foundry capacity, the Company may not be able to qualify alternative manufacturing sources for existing or new products in a timely manner.

     Substantially all of the Company’s products are assembled and tested by one of three third-party subcontractors, Siliconware Precision Industries Ltd., and Advance Semiconductor Engineering, Inc., both located in Taiwan, and Shanghai Belling Corp., Ltd. located in the People’s Republic of China. The availability of assembly and testing

services from these subcontractors could be adversely affected in the event any subcontractor experiences financial difficulties or suffers any damage or destruction to its
