NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

Note 1– Basis of Presentation

The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2005, the consolidated statements of operations for the three month and nine month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consisted only of normal, recurring items. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2004.

Note 2 – Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

The Company consists of three operating units: Bolt Technology Corporation (“Bolt”), A-G Geophysical Products, Inc. (“A-G”) and Custom Products Corporation (“Custom Products”). Bolt and A-G are in the “geophysical equipment” segment. Bolt manufactures and sells air guns and replacement parts, and A-G manufactures and sells underwater cables, connectors, hydrophones and seismic source monitoring systems. Custom Products, which is in the “industrial products” segment, manufactures and sells miniature industrial clutches and brakes and sells sub-fractional horsepower electrical motors.

Principles of Consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bolt Technology Corporation and its subsidiary companies. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts:

The allowance for uncollectible accounts is established through a provision for bad debts charged to expense. Accounts receivable are charged against the allowance for uncollectible accounts when the Company believes that collectibility of the principal is unlikely. The allowance is an amount that the Company believes will be adequate to absorb estimated losses on existing accounts receivable, based on the evaluation of the collectibility of accounts receivable and prior bad debt experience. This evaluation also takes into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the accounts receivable, overall quality of accounts receivable, review of specific problem accounts receivable, and current economic and industry conditions that may affect the customer’s ability to pay. While the Company uses the best information available to make its evaluation, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if there are significant changes in economic and industry conditions.

Inventories:

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost principally determined on an average cost method which approximates the first-in, first-out method. The Company maintains an inventory valuation reserve to provide for slow moving and obsolete inventory. Amounts are charged to the reserve when the Company scraps or disposes of inventory. See Note 5 to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) for additional information concerning inventories.

Plant and Equipment:

Plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation for financial accounting purposes is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 5 to 10 years for machinery and equipment, 1 to 10 years for geophysical equipment, 15 to 30 years for buildings, and over the term of the lease for leasehold improvements. Major improvements which add to the productive capacity or extend the life of an asset are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. See Note 6 to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) for additional information concerning plant and equipment.

Goodwill:

Goodwill represents the excess cost over the value of net tangible assets acquired in business combinations and until June 30, 2001 was being amortized using the straight-line method over 20 years. Accumulated amortization at March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2004 was $1,750,000. Effective July 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill amortization ceased when the new standard was adopted. The standard also required an initial goodwill impairment test in the year of adoption and annual impairment tests thereafter. The initial impairment test of the goodwill balance as of July 1, 2001 and annual impairment tests of the goodwill balance as of July 1, 2002, July 1, 2003 and July 1, 2004 were conducted and the tests indicated no impairment. The tests were conducted by management with the assistance of an independent valuation company. See Note 3 to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) for additional information concerning goodwill.

Revenue Recognition and Warranty Costs:

The Company recognizes sales revenue when it is realized and earned. The Company’s reported sales revenue is based on meeting the following criteria:

Warranty costs and product returns incurred by the Company have not been significant.

7

Income Taxes:

The provision for income taxes is determined under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities using currently enacted tax rates. The provision for income taxes is the sum of the amount of income tax paid or payable for the period determined by applying the provisions of enacted tax laws to the taxable income for that period and the net change during the period in the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities. See Note 4 to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) for additional information concerning the provision for income taxes.

Stock-Based Compensation:

The Company adopted SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure,” in 2003 and SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” in 1997. Under SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, companies can, but are not required to, elect to recognize compensation expense for all stock-based awards using a fair value methodology. The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions, as permitted by SFAS Nos. 123 and 148. In this regard, the Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its stock-based plans. Accordingly, no compensation expense is recognized for grants under the Company’s stock option plan.

Had compensation cost for stock options granted been recognized in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, net income and earnings per share for the three month and nine month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 would have been as follows:
