NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE UNAUDITED SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998
- ------------------------------------------------
1. Basis of Presentation of Interim Financial Data
The financial information herein for the three month and six month periods ended
June 30, 1998 is unaudited; however, such information reflects all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim
periods. The interim statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and the notes thereto included in the Interlink Electronics, Inc.
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997.
The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Certain amounts in the 1997 financial statements have been reclassified to
conform with the 1998 presentation.
2. Bank Lines of Credit
In May 1998, the Company's U.S. bank renewed the existing $3 million credit line
with the same terms and conditions. At June 30, 1998, the line was unused and
the Company was in compliance with all covenants.
In June 1998, the Company's Japan bank increased the maximum amount of the line
available to the Company's Japan subsidiary to 340 million yen ($2.4 million at
June 30, 1998). The amount drawn on this line at June 30, 1998 was $1.1 million.
3. Stock Warrant Expiration
On June 4, 1998 all of the Company's outstanding stock warrants (270,000 shares)
expired in accordance with their terms.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998, revenues grew 14% and
17%, respectively as compared to the same periods of 1997. Revenues for the
Computer Pointing Devices product line were $4.4 million, up 17% from the prior
year, for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and were $9 million, an increase
of 12% over the prior year, for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The growth
in this product line resulted from the Company's further penetration into the
presentation system market, both in the United States and Japan. Revenues for
the Custom Applications products line increased 71% and 60%, respectively in the
same comparisons.
As a percent of revenues, gross profit declined to 38% for both the second
quarter and first half of 1998 as compared to 43% for the same periods of 1997.
The decline in gross profit percentage reflects a greater mix of high volume OEM
business, which carries a relatively lower profit margin. The Company expects
gross profit percentages to vary slightly from the current level depending on
the mix of high volume OEM business versus low volume OEM business or non OEM
business.
Product development and research expenses were 8% of revenues for both the
second quarter and first half of 1998, as compared to 8% for the same periods in
1997 as the Company continues to develop products based on its proprietary
VersaPoint and RemoteLink Technologies. Given the industries the Company
participates in, management expects minimum research and development costs, as a
percent of revenues, to remain at or near the current level.
For the three months and the six months ended June 30, 1998, selling, general
and administrative costs (S,G&A) declined to 27% and 28%, respectively of
revenues, as compared to 28% and 29%, respectively for the same periods of 1997.
The decrease resulted from the leveraging of fixed S,G & A costs over a higher
sales base and the greater mix of OEM sales which carry a relatively lower S,G &
A requirement.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At June 30, 1998 working capital totaled $12.5 million as compared to $12
million at December 31, 1997.
For the six months ended June 30, 1998, operations used $1.6 million in cash due
primarily to an increase in inventory as necessitated by the revenue growth and
the build-up of inventory related to business expansion in Japan. As the Company
is aggressively seeking customers in the computer retail industry and in Japan,
both areas known for extended payment policies, operations may continue to be a
net user of cash despite profitable results.
For the first six months of 1998, investing activities comprised the purchase of
production equipment.
For the six months ended June 30, 1998, financing activities constituted
primarily, borrowings on the Company's Japan bank line of credit partially
offset by the repayment of capital lease and other debt obligations.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
From time to time the Company may issue forward-looking statements that involve
a number of risks and uncertainties. The following are among the factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking
statements: business conditions and growth in the electronics industry and
general economies, both domestic and international; lower than expected customer
orders, delays in receipt of orders or cancellation of orders; competitive
factors, including increased competition, new product offerings by competitors
and price pressures; the availability of third party parts and supplies at
reasonable prices; changes in product mix; significant quarterly performance
fluctuations due to the receipt of a significant portion of customer orders and
product shipments in the last month of each quarter; and product shipment
interruptions due to manufacturing problems. The forward looking statements
contained in this document regarding industry trends, revenue and product mix,
costs and margin expectations, product development and introductions, operating
expense improvements, and future business activities should be considered in
light of these factors.
