NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
------------------------------------------
Basis of Presentation
---------------------
As permitted by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission
applicable to Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, these notes are
condensed and do not contain all disclosures required by generally
accepted accounting principles. Reference should be made to the
consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1995, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March
28, 1996.
In the opinion of the management of Cognex Corporation, the
accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments
(consisting of only normal, recurring adjustments) necessary to
present fairly the Company's financial position at June 30, 1996, and
the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30,
1996, and changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the six
months ended June 30, 1996.
The results disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Certain amounts reported in prior periods have been reclassified to be
consistent with the current period's presentation.
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.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
In February 1996, the Company acquired Isys Controls, Inc. ("Isys"), a
developer of machine vision systems for high-speed surface inspection. The
results of operations of Isys for the full six-month period ended June 30,
1996 are included in the Company's results. The results of operations of Isys
for the three-month and six-month periods ended July 2, 1995 were not
material to the Company's previously reported results, and therefore, these
prior periods have not been restated.
Revenue for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1996
increased 47% and 62% to $34,949,000 and $69,836,000, respectively, over the
comparable periods in 1995. Revenue from domestic customers increased
$5,316,000 or 55% over the three-month period in 1995, and $12,303,000 or 69%
over the six-month period in 1995. Revenue from international customers
amounted to 57% of revenue in the three-month and six-month periods in 1996
compared to 59% and 58% of revenue in the same periods in 1995. Sales to
customers based in Japan increased $3,539,000 or 32% over the three-month
period in 1995, and $10,433,000 or 53% over the six-month period in 1995.
Sales to customers based in Europe increased $1,753,000 or 62% over the
three-month period in 1995, and $3,004,000 or 59% over the six-month period
in 1995.
The increase in worldwide revenue is due primarily to increased volume
generated from Original Equipment Manufacturer ("OEM") and factory floor
customers. Sales to OEM customers increased $4,954,000 or 27% over the
three-month period in 1995, and $13,505,000 or 40% over the six-month period
in 1995. 16 new OEM customers were added worldwide in the second quarter of
1996, bringing the year-to-date total to over 30 new OEM accounts. OEM
relationships typically take one to three years to reach significant sales
and volume levels. In addition, sales to factory floor customers, which
include sales of products resulting from the Company's acquisition of Isys,
increased $6,273,000 or 119% over the three-month period in 1995, and
$13,172,000 or 141% over the six-month period in 1995. 50 new factory floor
customers were added worldwide in the second quarter of 1996, bringing the
year-to-date total to over 95 new factory floor accounts. Sales to factory
floor customers grew to 33% and 32% of revenue in the three-month and
six-month periods in 1996 from 22% of revenue in the comparable periods in
1995.
The increased volume reflects sales of products totaling $6,288,000 or 18% of
revenue in the three-month period ended June 30, 1996, and $11,295,000 or 16%
of revenue in the six-month period ended June 30, 1996 resulting from the
Company's acquisitions of Isys in the first quarter of 1996 and Acumen, Inc.
in the third quarter of 1995.
The revenue growth rate for the first half of 1996 over the prior year is not
expected to be sustained in the second half of 1996 due to market factors
affecting the semiconductor and electronics industries, from which the
Company either directly or indirectly derives a significant amount of its
revenue.
Gross margin was 73% for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30,
1996 compared to 78% and 79% for the same periods in 1995. The decrease in
gross margin is due primarily to a shift in product mix to lower margin
products including products resulting from the Company's acquisition of Isys,
price discounts to some of the Company's larger customers for attaining
certain volume thresholds, and redundant manufacturing costs incurred during
the transition period to full turnkey manufacturing accompanied by increased
costs associated with reducing excess inventory levels. Most of these
influences may remain in place throughout 1996 and gross margins for the full
year 1996 are expected to be lower than experienced in 1995.

Research, development and engineering expenses increased to $4,794,000 and
$9,560,000 for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 from
$3,073,000 and $5,789,000 for the comparable periods in 1995. Expenses as a
percentage of revenue were 14% in both periods in 1996 compared to 13% in
both periods in 1995. 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, including the addition
of engineers to the Company's talent pool resulting from the acquisitions of
Isys and Acumen.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $6,874,000 and
$13,219,000 for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1996
from $5,810,000 and $10,881,000 for the comparable periods in 1995. Expenses
as a percentage of revenue were 20% and 19% in the three-month and six-month
periods in 1996 compared to 24% and 25% in the same periods in 1995. The
increase in aggregate costs is due primarily to higher personnel-related
costs, both domestically and internationally, to support the Company's
worldwide operations, combined with costs related to fluctuations in foreign
currency exchange rates. The decrease in expenses as a percentage of revenue
is due primarily to a higher revenue base in 1996.
Other income increased to $1,332,000 and $2,343,000 for the three-month and
six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 from $668,000 and $1,300,000 for the
comparable periods in 1995. The increase in other income is due primarily to
an increase in interest income resulting from a higher investment base in
1996.
The Company's effective tax rate was 32.5% and 31.5% for the three-month and
six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 compared to 29.5% for both periods in
1995. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily because the
research and experimentation credit was not extended beyond June 30, 1995.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's cash requirements during the six-month period ended June 30,
1996 were met through cash generated from operations. Working capital at June
30, 1996 was $146,152,000, an increase of $26,750,000 from the working
capital balance at December 31, 1995. Cash and investments increased
$23,371,000 from December 31, 1995 primarily as a result of $24,796,000 of
cash generated from operations, offset by $4,092,000 of capital expenditures.
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 accommodate anticipated growth. Capital
expenditures for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996 amounted to
$4,092,000, all of which were funded out of current operations. In 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 $5,000,000 and are expected to be paid out through
the first quarter of 1997 with anticipated funding from cash generated from
operations.
In July 1995, the Company acquired Acumen for approximately $14,000,000. The
purchase price included $8,452,000 in cash, $1,798,000 of which, at June 30,
1996, remains 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
planned working capital and capital expenditure requirements through 1996,
including potential business acquisitions.
