NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1—Basis of Presentation

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and 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 our opinion the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. In addition, certain reclassifications have been made to prior year balances in order to conform to the current year presentation.

The financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2005. The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2004 was derived from our audited financial statements.

The results of our operations for the three months ended April 1, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any future period, including the full fiscal year.

Liquidity

For the three months ended April 1, 2005, we incurred a loss from operations of approximately $9.1 million. As of April 1, 2005, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $177.1 million, cash and short-term investments (excluding restricted cash) of $121.4 million, bank debt of $33.4 million and convertible notes payable of $60.0 million. We generated cash from operating activities of $35.9 million during the three months ended April 1, 2005. However, we may not generate similar levels of cash from operations in future periods and we used cash of $115.7 million to fund operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2004. We operate in an industry characterized by intense competition, supply shortages or oversupply, rapid technological change, evolving industry standards, declining average prices and rapid product obsolescence. We intend to incur significant expenses to fund operations to develop new products and to support existing product sales. Failure to generate sufficient revenues to offset the cost of revenues and other operating costs may require us to constrain our operations.

We currently believe that we have sufficient cash and availability under our asset based credit facility to meet our operating, capital and debt service requirements for the next twelve months. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be successful in executing our business plan, achieving profitability or maintaining our existing customer base. Our cash needs are also dependent on the credit terms extended to us by our suppliers, particularly Samsung which supplies the majority of our flash memory, and if our suppliers do not provide us with credit terms that are appropriate to meet our needs, we may have to seek alternate suppliers or additional financing. To the extent that we do not generate sufficient revenues and reduce the cost of revenues or reduce the cost of discretionary expenditures and, as a result, cash, short term investments and available credit is insufficient to satisfy liquidity requirements, additional cash may be needed to finance operating and investing needs. However, depending on market conditions, any additional financing needed may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all.

Note 2—Summary of Selected Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

Product Revenues

We derive our revenues primarily from sales of our digital media products, which include flash memory devices, controllers and connectivity products. We sell products to distributors, retailers, OEMs and end users.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

As discussed below, significant management judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with the revenue recognized in any accounting period.

With respect to sales to OEMs and end users we generally recognize product revenue upon delivery when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the selling price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured.

With respect to sales to distributors and retailers we generally recognize product revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the selling price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Many of our distributors and retailers (collectively referred to herein as “resellers”) have return rights. Historically, for resellers where we were able to reasonably estimate the level of product returns and sales incentives, we recognized revenue upon shipment (“ship-to” basis) and, at the time revenue was recorded, we recorded estimated reductions to product revenue based upon our customer sales incentive programs, the historical experience of product returns, and the impact of special pricing agreements, price protection, promotions and other volume-based incentives. In order to make such estimates, we analyzed historical returns, current economic conditions, customer demand and other relevant specific customer information. For resellers where we were unable to reasonably estimate the level of product returns or other revenue allowances, revenues and the costs of revenues were deferred (“sell-through basis”) until these resellers either sold the product to their customers or a time period that is reasonably estimated to allow these resellers to sell the product to their end customers had elapsed. In prior public filings of our financial information, we noted that if, in the future, we were unable to reasonably estimate the level of product returns or other revenue allowances for these resellers, it could have a significant impact on our revenue recognition, potentially requiring us to defer the recognition of additional sales and recognize such sales on the “sell-through” basis. Over the past several years, revenue related to all new resellers that have return rights or other revenue allowances were accounted for on a sell-through basis.

Starting in the fourth quarter of 2004, we determined that due to the recent high volatility of prices in the retail market, we were no longer able to reasonably estimate the level of revenue allowances and product returns, and accordingly, we became unable to determine the selling price of our products at the time the sale takes place. As a result, effective October 1, 2004, for all of our retail customers, revenues and the cost of revenues are deferred until these customers either sell the product to their customers or a time period that is reasonably estimated to allow these customers to sell the product to their customers has elapsed. As a result of Lexar recording revenues from all retail customers on a sell-through basis effective October 1, 2004, the first quarter of 2005 was the first quarter in which Lexar recorded significant revenue that was deferred from the prior quarter, which had a positive impact on first quarter product revenues and gross margin. The effect of this change in estimate on the first quarter of 2005 was an increase in net revenue of approximately $25.8 million and an increase in gross profit of approximately $5.4 million. As of April 1, 2005 and December 31, 2004, deferred product margin from sales to resellers was $13.1 million and $23.3 million, respectively.

License and Royalty Revenues

When we have a signed license agreement, the technology has been delivered, there are no remaining significant obligations under the contract, the fee is fixed or determinable and non-refundable and collectibility is reasonably assured, we recognize license fees and fixed non-refundable royalties ratably over the term of the license or fixed royalty arrangement during which the customer has rights to the technology. When royalties are based on the volume of products sold that incorporate our technology, revenue is recognized in the period license sales are reported. Variable royalties based on volume have been insignificant to date.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

We actively enforce our patented technologies and aggressively pursue third parties that are utilizing our intellectual property without a license or who have under-reported the amount of royalties owed under license agreement with us. As a result of such activities, from time to time, we may recognize royalty revenues that relate to infringements that occurred in prior periods. These royalty revenues may cause revenues to be higher than expected during a particular reporting period and may not occur in subsequent periods. Differences between amounts initially recognized and amounts subsequently determined as an adjustment to those amounts are recognized in the period such adjustment is determined as a change in accounting estimate.

Deferred Taxes

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the computation of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that we have estimated is more likely than not to be realized.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Certain shipping and handling costs are included
