NET INCOME PER SHARE
--------------------
Net income per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of
common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.
Primary and fully diluted net income per share are not materially different
for each of the periods presented. Dilutive common equivalent shares consist
of stock options, calculated using the treasury stock method.
SUBSEQUENT EVENT - ACQUISITION OF ACUMEN, INC.
----------------------------------------------
On July 21, 1995, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of
Acumen, Inc., a developer of machine vision systems for semiconductor wafer
identification, for approximately $14 million. The purchase price includes
$8.5 million in cash, 96,140 shares of Cognex stock valued at $4.2 million,
and stock options valued at $1.3 million. The acquistion will be accounted
for under the purchase method of accounting. A significant portion of the
purchase price is expected to be charged to third quarter earnings for
in-process technology.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENTGS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenue for the three-month and six-month periods ended July 2, 1995
increased 59% and 55% to $23,722,000 and $43,159,000, respectively, over the
comparable periods in 1994. Contributing to the revenue increase, each of
the Company's major geographic areas, the United States, Japan, and Europe,
grew in excess of 45% over the three-month period in 1994 and in excess of
50% over the six-month period in 1994.
International revenue amounted to $14,108,000 and $25,240,000 for the
three-month and six-month periods ended July 2, 1995 compared to $9,070,000
and $16,147,000 for the same periods in 1994, an increase of 56% in both
periods. Domestic revenue increased 64% and 54% for the three-month and
six-month periods in 1995 over the comparable periods in 1994. The increase
in worldwide revenue is due primarily to the growth in sales to existing
customers, that is, those customers that have been with the Company for three
or more years. Sales to existing customers represented 81% and 83% of
revenue for the three-month and six-month periods in 1995 and increased 56%
over the comparable periods in 1994.
The combined sales of the Cognex 2000 and 3000 Series vision systems
increased $1,317,000 and $2,096,000, yet decreased as a percentage of revenue
to 22% and 23% for the three-month and six-month periods ended July 2, 1995
from 25% and 27% for the comparable periods in 1994. Sales of the Cognex
4000 Series vision system increased $2,325,000 and $5,268,000, yet declined
as a percentage of revenue to 38% and 40% for the three-month and six-month
periods in 1995 from 46% and 43% for the comparable periods in 1994. Sales
of the Cognex 5000 Series vision system increased $3,244,000 and $4,912,000,
and grew to 29% and 27% of revenue for the three-month and six-month periods
in 1995 from 24% and 25% for the comparable periods in 1994. The decline in
sales as a percentage of revenue of the Cognex 2000, 3000, and 4000 products
and the increase in sales as a percentage of revenue of the Cognex 5000
products is a result of the higher revenue growth associated with newer
products.
Gross margin represented 78% and 79% of revenue for the three-month and
six-month periods ended July 2, 1995 compared to 78% of revenue for the same
periods in 1994. The one-point increase in the gross margin percentage for
the six-month period in 1995 compared to the same period in 1994 is primarily
due to higher margins from the Company's Customer Satisfaction services.
Research, development and engineering expenses increased to $3,073,000
and $5,789,000 for the three-month and six-month periods ended July 2, 1995
from $2,471,000 and $4,952,000 for the comparable periods in 1994. Expenses
as a percentage of revenue were 13% for both periods in 1995 compared to 17%
and 18% for the same periods in 1994. The increase in aggregate costs is due
primarily to higher personnel-related costs to support the Company's
investment in the research and development of new and existing products. The
decrease in expenses as a percentage of revenue is due to higher than
anticipated revenue growth outpacing the investment in research and
development.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $5,810,000 and
$10,881,000 for the three-month and six-month periods ended July 2, 1995 from
$4,150,000 and $7,457,000 for the comparable periods in 1994. Expenses as a
percentage of revenue were 25% for both periods in 1995 compared to 28% and
27% for the same periods in 1994. The increase in aggregate costs is
primarily due to higher personnel-related costs, both domestically and
internationally, to support the Company's increased revenue and customer
base. In addition, the Company incurred costs in the second quarter of 1995
associated with the purchase of an office building adjacent to the Company's
corporate headquarters.
Interest income increased to $668,000 and $1,300,000 for the three-month
and six-month periods ended July 2, 1995 from $338,000 and $731,000 for the
comparable periods in 1994. The increase in interest income is due primarily
to a larger investment base.

10
The Company's effective tax rate for the three-month and six-month
periods ended July 2, 1995 was 29.5% compared to 31.0% for comparable periods
in 1994. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily due to a
reduction in state income taxes and an increased benefit from tax-exempt
interest income resulting from a larger investment base.
OTHER
On July 21, 1995, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of
Acumen, Inc. for approximately $14,000,000, which includes $8,500,000 in cash
in addition to Cognex stock and options valued at $5,500,000. A significant
portion of the purchase price is expected to be charged to third quarter
earnings for in-process technology. Acumen's technology complements and
strengthens Cognex's semiconductor wafer identification capabilities.
Acumen's historical financial position and results of operations were not
significant compared to the Company's financial position and results of
operations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's working capital and other cash requirements during the
six-month period ended July 2, 1995 were substantially met through cash flow
generated from operations. Working capital at July 2, 1995 was $100,567,000,
an increase of $12,055,000 from the working capital balance at December 31,
1994. Cash and investments increased $1,391,000 from December 31, 1994 as a
result of cash generated from operations and the proceeds from the issuance
of stock under stock option and stock purchase plans offset by the purchase
for cash of an office building adjacent to the Company's corporate
headquarters.
At July 2, 1995, the Company had no outstanding short-term or long-term
debt. The Company has a $1,000,000 unsecured demand line of credit with a
bank, which is available through August 15, 1995. There have been no
borrowings under the line of credit. The Company intends to extend the bank
line of credit through August 15, 1996.
Capital requirements consist primarily of expenditures for computer
hardware and software equipment, along with expenditures related to the
expansion of the Company's office space to accomodate anticipated future
growth. Capital expenditures in the six-month period ended July 2, 1995
were $7,202,000, substantially all of which were funded out of current
operations. Included in these capital expenditures was the purchase in June
1995 of an 83,000 square-foot office building adjacent to the Company's
corporate headquarters for $5,300,000 in cash. The building is occupied
with tenants who have lease commitments that extend over the next several
years. The Company will oversee these lease commitments until it is ready
to take occupancy. Also in June 1995, the Company began work on a planned
50,000 square-foot addition to its headquarters building. Future cash
requirements related to the addition are anticipated to approximate between
$5,000,000 and $6,000,000 and are expected be paid out through the first
quarter of 1997.
On July 21, 1995, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of
Acumen, Inc. for approximately $14,000,000. The purchase price includes
$8,500,000 in cash, $6,300,000 of which was paid out on the closing date,
with the remaining balance to be paid out through the year 2000.
The Company believes that the existing cash and investment balances,
together with cash generated from operations, will be sufficient to meet the
Company's working capital and capital expenditure requirements through 1995.
