THREE-FIVE SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note A   The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for all periods presented, have been made. The results of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2003. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our December 31, 2002 financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto.
 
    On September 1, 2003, we transferred all of the net assets of our microdisplay division, plus approximately $20.9 million in cash, into a newly created Delaware corporation called Brillian Corporation (Brillian). Brillian had $44.1 million of net assets on the spin-off date. On September 15, 2003, we spun off Brillian by distributing all of the outstanding common stock of Brillian to our stockholders on a pro rata basis, with each stockholder of Three-Five Systems, Inc. (TFS) receiving one share of Brillian common stock for each four shares of TFS common stock held. Brillian is now traded on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol “BRLC.” For more information on the reason for the spin-off, as well as the description of business and risks associated with the spin-off, please refer to the Form 10 and the related amendments and associated documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Brillian. The microdisplay business that we transferred to Brillian is now reported in these consolidated financial statements as Discontinued Operations.
 
    Net loss from discontinued operations was $10.6 million for the first nine months of 2003 and $9.6 million for the first nine months of 2002. Sales from discontinued operations were $1.6 million and $794,000 for the first nine months of 2003 and 2002, respectively. The major classes of discontinued assets and liabilities included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2002 and the day of spin-off are as follows (in thousands):
