                         OMNIVISION TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

                    NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1--Basis of presentation

   The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements as of July 31,
2000 and April 30, 2000 and for the three months ended July 31, 2000 and 1999
have been prepared by OmniVision Technologies, Inc. (the "Company" or
"OmniVision") in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. The amounts as of April 30, 2000 have been derived
from our annual audited financial statements. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in
accordance with such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the
accompanying unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting
only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial
position of the Company and its results of operations and cash flows. These
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited
financial statements and notes as of and for the year ended April 30, 2000,
included in the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-31926).

   The results of operations for the three months ended July 31, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
April 30, 2001 or any other future interim period, and the Company makes no
representations related thereto.

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 2--Revenue Recognition

   Revenue from product sales is recognized at the time of shipment, except for
certain shipments to distributors under agreements allowing for return or
credits, in which case revenue is deferred until the distributor resells the
product. A provision is made for expected sales returns and allowances when
revenue is recognized.

Note 3--Short term investments

   The Company classifies all short-term investments as available-for-sale in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." The
Company's short-term investments are invested in high-grade corporate
securities and government bonds maturing approximately twelve months or less
from the date of purchase. These investments are carried at cost, which
approximates fair value. Material unrealized gains or losses, if any, are
required in stockholders' equity and included in other comprehensive income.
Unrealized gains or losses were not significant during any period covered.

Note 4--Inventory

   Inventories as of July 31, 2000 and April 30, 2000, consist of:

Note 6--Equity

   In July 2000, the Company completed its initial public offering of 5,000,000
shares of common stock at $13.00 per share. Net proceeds aggregated
approximately $59.2 million after paying the underwriters' fee and related
expenses. At the closing of the offering, all issued and outstanding shares of
the Company's preferred stock were converted into an aggregate of 12,305,001
shares of common stock. The underwriters' over-allotment option of 750,000
shares of common stock was exercised in August 2000. (See Note 10 "Subsequent
events" for details).

Note 7--Segment and geographic information

   The Company identifies its operating segments based on business activities,
management responsibility and geographic location. For all periods presented,
the Company operated in a single business segment.

   The Company sells its products primarily in the United States and to the
Asia Pacific region. Revenues by geographic locations based on the country or
region of the customer were as follows.

              NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)


Note 8--Contingencies

   From time to time, the Company has been subject to legal proceedings and
claims with respect to such matters as patents, product liabilities and other
actions arising out of the normal course of business. In March 2000, the
Company received written notice from Koninklijke Philips N.V. ("Philips") in
which Philips claimed to have patent rights in a serial bus system for data
transmission, known as I2C bus system. The Company, as of July 31, 2000, had
reserved $1.3 million, an amount the Company believes will adequately cover
royalties. This reserve is calculated at the 2% royalty rate initially
requested by Philips for product sales through that date. While the effect on
future financial results cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company
believes that the final outcome of such matters will not have a material
adverse effect on its financial position and results of operations or cash
flows.

Note 9--Recent accounting pronouncements

   In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS No. 133"),
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and
requires recognition of all derivatives as assets or liabilities in the balance
sheet and measurement of those instruments at fair value. The statement is
effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company will
adopt the standard no later than the first quarter of fiscal year 2001 and
management does not expect a material impact on the Company's consolidated
financial statements.

   In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"), "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements." SAB 101 provides interpretive guidance on the recognition,
presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements under certain
circumstances. The Company adopted the provisions of SAB 101 in these
consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.

   In March 2000, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 44, ("FIN 44"),
"Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation," an
interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25. FIN 44 clarifies the application of
Opinion 25 for (a) the definition of employee for purposes of applying Opinion
25, (b) the criteria for determining whether a plan qualifies as a
noncompensatory plan, (c) the accounting consequence for various modifications
to the terms of a previously fixed stock option or award and (d) the accounting
for an exchange of stock compensation awards in a business combination. FIN 44
is effective July 1, 2000, but certain conclusions cover specific events that
occur after either December 15, 1998, or January 12, 2000. The adoption of FIN
44 did not and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's
consolidated financial position, results of operation or cash flows.

Note 10--Subsequent events

   In August 2000, the underwriters' of the Company's initial public offering
exercised their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 750,000 shares
of common stock at $13.00 per share. Net proceeds aggregated approximately $9.1
million after paying the underwriters' fee and related expenses.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

   You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with
our financial statements and the related notes thereto included in this report
on Form 10-Q. The results described below are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected in any future period. Certain statements in this
discussion and analysis contain forward looking statements based upon current
expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. When used in this report on
Form 10-Q, the words "may," "should," "expects," "plans," "anticipates,"
"believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," "continue," and other similar
expressions as they relate to us are included to identify forward looking
statements. Our actual results and the timing of certain events could differ
materially from those discussed in this report. Factors that could cause or
contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to, the risks
discussed in the section titled "Factors Affecting Future Operating Results"
below.

   We design, develop and market high performance, high quality, highly
integrated and cost efficient semiconductor image sensor devices. Our single
chip image sensors are used in a variety of electronic cameras and camera
related products for both still picture and live video applications. Our image
sensors are used in cameras and camera related products such as personal
computer cameras, digital still cameras, closed circuit TV's, mobile phone
cameras, personal digital assistant cameras, security and surveillance cameras
and toy cameras. Our image sensors are designed to use the complementary metal
oxide semiconductor fabrication process, a new, easier to use semiconductor
technology for image sensors. Our single chip image sensors can allow our
customers to build cameras that are smaller, require fewer chips, consume less
power and cost less to build than cameras using traditional charged couple
device technology, or multiple chip complementary metal oxide semiconductor
image sensors. Unlike competitive image sensors, which require multiple chips
to achieve the same functions we are able to integrate nearly all camera
functions into a single chip. This leads us to believe that we supply the most
highly integrated single chip complementary metal oxide semiconductor image
sensor solution.

  We sell our products worldwide through a direct sales force and indirectly
through distributors and manufacturers' representatives. Our image sensors are
sold to camera manufacturers who market camera products under their own brand.
We also sell to large manufacturing companies that produce camera products for
others to market under different brand names.

   Image sensors are characterized by several important attributes such as
picture resolution, color, lens size, voltage requirements and type of video
output. We intend to continue developing new products aimed at new and existing
markets. We plan to expand the range of picture resolutions we offer, provide
additional products that require only three volts for portable applications and
further improve image quality and integrate additional functions into our image
sensor. In addition, we developed and market an interface chip that can easily
connect a camera to the universal serial bus on personal computers, and we plan
to make improvements to that product as well.

   Our first image sensor was a low resolution, black and white sensor
introduced in 1996. We introduced an improved version of this sensor in early
1997. In addition, we introduced color and digital image sensors in 1997 and
higher resolution and higher quality image sensors in 1998 and 1999. For the
year ended April 30, 2000, the majority of our revenues were generated from
sale of our five volt color image sensors. Given the growth of the Internet and
multimedia applications which allow for digital images to be captured, stored
and transported, we expect that a significant portion of our revenues in fiscal
year 2001 will be generated from our five volt color image sensors, which are
used primarily in affordable and easy to use personal computer cameras.

   We outsource all of our semiconductor manufacturing and assembly. This
approach allows us to focus our resources on the design, development and
marketing of our products and significantly reduces our capital requirements.
We outsource our wafer manufacturing to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing
Company, or TSMC, and Powerchip Semiconductor Company, or PSC. In addition, we
have a signed agreement with Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., or Samsung, who is
our sole source supplier for our universal serial bus

                                       8


interface chip that we sometimes sell along with our image sensor. A majority
of our unit sales of image sensors for the quarter ended July 31, 2000 are
color image sensors. These require a color filter to be applied to the wafer
before packaging. We outsource the application of this color filter to Toppan
Printing Co., or Toppan, TSMC, and PSC. We outsource the packaging of our image
sensors to Kyocera Corporation, or Kyocera, Taiwan Electronic Packaging
Company, or TEPC, and Alphatec Semiconductor Packaging Co., or Alphatec.
Outside testing services do not offer suitable tests for the key parameter of
product performance, image quality. Therefore, we design and produce our own
automatic testing equipment specifically for image sensor testing, and we do
substantially all of our testing in house. Our control over the testing process
helps us maintain consistent product quality and identify areas to improve
product quality and reduce costs.

  We recognized revenues when our products are shipped to our customers or, in
the case of sales to distributors made under agreements permitting the return
of unsold products, when our distributors ship the products to their customers.
Our sales are generally made on a purchase order basis rather than by long term
purchase commitments. Our customers may cancel or defer purchase orders without
penalty. Our backlog includes only those customers orders for which we have
accepted purchase orders and assigned shipment dates within the upcoming twelve
months. While our backlog may be substantial at times, it is subject to
cancellation or changes in delivery schedules and may not necessarily be an
indication of future revenues.

  Sales of our image sensors are subject to seasonality. Some of the products
using our image sensors such as personal computer video cameras and digital
still cameras are consumer electronics goods. Typically, these goods are
subject to seasonality with generally increased sales in November and December
due to the holidays. In addition, we have experienced a decrease in orders in
the quarter ended April 30 from our Chinese and Taiwanese customers primarily
due to the Chinese New year. As a result, product sales are impacted by
seasonal purchasing patterns with higher sales generally occurring in the
second half of the year.

  We intend to maintain our technology leadership by continuing to develop our
core technology through our in house research and development efforts. As a
result, we expect our research and development expenses to increase in fiscal
year 2001.

Revenues

   We derive revenues from the sale of our standard image sensor array products
and other companion circuits for use in a variety of applications. Total
revenues for the three months ended July 31, 2000 increased 271% to
approximately $17.8 million from $4.8 million for the three months ended July
31, 1999. The increase in total revenues during the three months ended July 31,
2000 was primarily as a result of continued demand for PC cameras, PDA cameras
and security and surveillance cameras. Domestic and international revenues for
the three months ended July 31, 2000 were $1.7 million and $16.1 million,
respectively, as compared to $1.3 million and $3.5 million, respectively, for
the three months ended July 31, 1999. For the three months ended July 31, 2000,
one of our distributors, World Peace, represented approximately 29.8% of total
revenues and one of our camera manufacturer customers, Viewquest Technologies,
Inc., accounted for approximately 12.5% of total revenues. For the three months
ended July 31, 1999, two of our distributors, World Peace and Holy Stone
Electronics accounted for approximately 23.2% of total revenues and
approximately 21.8% of total revenues, respectively, and one of our camera
manufacturer customers, Alaris, accounted for approximately 12% of total
revenues.

Gross Profit

   Gross margins for the three months ended July 31, 2000 and July 31, 1999
were 31% and 33.8%, respectively. The decrease in gross margin for the three
months ended July 31, 2000 was primarily due to (1) a reserve for a potential
royalty payment and (2) lower than normal final test yields on a newly
introduced low voltage image sensor product.

Research and development

   Research and development expenses for the three months ended July 31, 2000
and July 31, 1999 were approximately $1.3 million and $787,000, respectively.
As a percentage of revenues, research and development expenses represented 7.2%
and 16.4%, respectively. As revenues increased from the first quarter of fiscal
year 2000 to the first quarter of fiscal year 2001, research and development
expenses declined as a percentage of revenues. Our research and development
expenses increased by approximately $494,000 from the first quarter of fiscal
year 2000 to the first quarter of fiscal year 2001 due to an increase in
salaries, payroll related expenses associated with additional personnel, and a
higher cost of engineering supplies, materials, and contracted costs associated
with new product development. Research and development expenses consist
primarily of compensation and personnel related expenses and costs for
purchased materials, designs and tooling, depreciation of computers and
workstations, and amortization of computer aided design software, all of which
may fluctuate significantly from period to period as a result of our product
development cycles. We expect that our future research and development expenses
will increase in absolute dollars and may increase as a percentage of revenues
as we design and develop our next generation of image sensor products.

Selling, general and administrative

   Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended July
31, 2000 and July 31, 1999 were approximately $1.1 million and $632,000,
respectively. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative
expenses represented 6.0% and 13.2%, respectively. As revenues increased from
the first quarter of fiscal year 2000 to the first quarter of fiscal year 2001,
selling, general and administrative expenses declined as a percentage of
revenues. Our selling, general and administrative expenses increased by
approximately $442,000 from the first quarter of fiscal year 2000 to the first
quarter of fiscal year 2001 due to an increase in salaries, payroll related
expenses associated with additional personnel, and an increase in commissions
paid to distributors and manufacturers' representatives. We expect that our
future selling, general and administrative expenses will increase in absolute
dollars and may increase as a percentage of revenues.

Stock compensation charge

   We incurred stock compensation charges of approximately $284,000 and $79,000
for the three months ended July 31, 2000 and July 31, 1999, respectively.
Deferred compensation, representing the difference

                                       10


between the deemed fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant
and the exercise price of stock options on the date of grant, is amortized on
an accelerated basis as the options vest. We expect deferred compensation
charges of approximately $2.2 million as of July 31, 2000 to be amortized on an
accelerated basis over the vesting period of generally five years.

Interest income (expense) net

   Interest income and interest expense for the three months ended July 31,
2000 and July 31, 1999 were minor because prior to the initial public offering
of our common stock on July 14, 2000, we had financed our business operations
primarily through a series of relatively small private equity transactions.

Provision for income taxes

   We generated approximately $3.0 million and $178,000 in operating profits
for the three months ended July 31, 2000 and July 31, 1999, respectively. We
had a provision for income taxes amounting to approximately $1.2 million for
the three months ended July 31, 2000 after taking into consideration the
utilization of prior years' net operating loss carryforwards and credits. As a
result of the utilization of prior years' net operating loss carryforwards
during the three months ended July 31, 1999, there was a minor provision for
income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

   For the three month period ended July 31, 2000, we used approximately $5.9
million in cash for operating activities, primarily due to increased working
capital to acquire inventory as sales increased. Net cash provided from
financing activities amounted to approximately $59.2 million from the issuance
and sale of 5,000,000 shares of common stock in our initial public offering.
Approximately $55.7 million of these proceeds was invested in short-term
investments. For the three month period ended July 31, 1999, we used
approximately $1.0 million in cash for operating activities, primarily due to
increased working capital to acquire inventory as sales increased, Net cash
used from investing activities amounted to approximately $265,000. Net cash
provided from financing activities amounted to approximately $328,000 from the
issuance and sale of common stock upon the exercise of employee stock options
during the period.

   As of July 31, 2000, we had approximately $59.0 million in cash and short
term investments. We believe these cash resources will be sufficient to meet
our capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. After this period,
capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the levels at which
we maintain inventory and accounts receivable, costs of securing access to
adequate manufacturing capacity and increases in our operating expenses. To the
extent that existing cash resources are insufficient to fund our future
activities, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private
equity or debt financing. Additional funds may not be available, or if
available, we may not be able to obtain them on terms favorable to us or to our
shareholders. In the event that we do raise additional cash through financings,
current investors could be further diluted.

   From time to time, we may evaluate acquisitions of companies, products or
technologies that complement our business. Although we have no current plans in
this regard, any transactions, if consummated, may consume a portion of our
working capital or require the issuance of securities that may result in
further dilution to existing stockholders.

                        FACTORS AFFECTING FUTURE RESULTS

Our limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our future
prospects and your investment.

   We were incorporated in May 1995 and only began selling our products
recently. We introduced our first black and white image sensor for the security
and surveillance and toy and game markets in 1996 and our first color image
sensor for the PC video camera and toy and game markets in October 1997. We are
still in the process of developing and producing new products for the digital
still camera and PC video camera markets which we intend to introduce this
year. Thus, we have a limited operating history, which makes an evaluation of
our future prospects and your investment difficult. Accordingly, we face risks
and difficulties frequently encountered by early stage companies in new and
rapidly evolving markets.

We have a history of losses, we only recently became profitable and we may not
subsequently sustain profitability.

   We incurred net losses of approximately $6.0 million in fiscal year 1998 and
approximately $4.0 million in fiscal year 1999. For the year ended April 30,
2000, the first year in which we became profitable, our net income was
approximately $3.4 million. In the three months ended July 31, 2000, our net
income was approximately $1.9 million. In the future, as we develop new
products, we expect research and development expenses to increase. Also, as we
hire additional personnel and possibly engage in larger business transactions,
we expect selling, general and administrative expenses to increase. We will
also incur substantial noncash charges relating to the amortization of unearned
compensation. If these expenses increase and our revenues do not increase, we
may not subsequently sustain profitability.

Fluctuations in our quarterly operating results make it difficult to predict
our future performance and may result in volatility in the market price of our
common stock.

   Our quarterly operating results have varied significantly from quarter to
quarter in the past and are likely to vary significantly in the future based on
a number of factors related to how we manage our business. These factors, many
of which are more fully discussed in other risk factors, include:

  . our ability to manage our product transitions;

  . the mix of the products we sell and the distribution channels through
    which they are sold; and

  . the availability of production capacities at the semiconductor foundries
    that manufacture our products or components of our products.

   In the past, our introduction of new products and our product mix have
affected our quarterly operating results. We also anticipate that the rate of
orders from our customers may vary significantly from quarter to quarter. Our
expenses and inventory levels are based on our expectations of future revenues
and our expenses are relatively fixed in the short term. Consequently, if
revenues in any quarter do not occur when expected, expenses and inventory
levels could be disproportionately high and our operating results for that
quarter and, potentially future quarters, may be harmed.

   Certain other factors have in the past caused and are likely in the future
to cause fluctuations in our quarterly operating results. These factors are
industry risks over which we have little or no control. These factors include:

  . the growth of the market for products and applications using
    complementary metal oxide semiconductor image sensors;

  . the timing and amount of orders from our camera manufacturers and
    distributor customers;

  . the deferral of customer orders in anticipation of new products, designs
    or enhancements by us or our competitors; and

  . the announcement and introduction of products and technologies by our
    competitors.

                                       12


   Any one or more of these factors is difficult to forecast and could result
in fluctuations in our quarterly operating results. Fluctuations in our
quarterly operating results could adversely affect the price of our common
stock in a manner unrelated to our long term operating performance. Due to the
potential volatility of our stock price, you should not rely on the results of
any one quarter as an indication of our future performance. It is likely that
at some point our quarterly operating results will fall below the expectations
of security analysts and investors. In this event, the price of our common
stock would likely decrease.

We depend on the acceptance of complementary metal oxide semiconductor
technology for mass market image sensor applications, and any delay in the
widespread acceptance of this technology could adversely affect our ability to
increase our revenues and improve our earnings.

   Our business strategy depends on the rapid and widespread adoption of the
complementary metal oxide semiconductor fabrication process for image sensors
and the acceptance of our single chip technology. The image sensor market has
been dominated by charged couple device, or CCD, technology for over 25 years.
Although complementary metal oxide semiconductor technology has been available
for over 20 years, complementary metal oxide semiconductor technology has only
recently been used in image sensors. Along with the other risk factors
described in this section, the following factors may delay the widespread
adoption of the complementary metal oxide semiconductor fabrication process and
our single chip technology, the occurrence of any of which could adversely
affect our ability to increase our revenues and earnings:

  . the failure of the emergence of a universal platform for imaging
    solutions for computers and the Internet;

  . the limited availability of bandwidth to run complementary metal oxide
    semiconductor image sensor applications;

  . the uncertainty of emerging markets for products incorporating
    complementary metal oxide semiconductor technology;

  . the failure of development of user friendly and affordable products; and

  . improvements or cost reductions to charged couple device image sensors,
    which could slow the adoption of CMOS image sensors in markets already
    dominated by charged couple device image sensors, such as the security
    and surveillance market.

We depend on a limited number of third party wafer foundries to manufacture all
of our products, which reduces our ability to control the manufacturing
process.

   We do not own or operate a semiconductor fabrication facility. We rely on
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, or TSMC, Powerchip Semiconductor
Company, or PSC and Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., or Samsung, to produce all of
our wafers and final products. Our reliance on these third party foundries
involves a number of significant risks, including:

  . reduced control over delivery schedules, quality assurance, manufacturing
    yields and production costs;

  . lack of guaranteed production capacity or product supply; and

  . unavailability of, or delayed access to, next generation or key process
    technologies.

   We do not have long term supply agreements with any of our foundries and
instead secure manufacturing availability on a purchase order basis. These
foundries have no obligation to supply products to us for any specific period,
in any specific quantity or at any specific price, except as set forth in a
particular purchase order. Our requirements represent a small portion of the
total production capacities of these foundries and TSMC, PSC, or Samsung may
reallocate capacity to other customers, even during periods of high demand for
our products. If any of our foundries were to become unable or unwilling to
continue manufacturing our wafers in the required volumes, at acceptable
quality, yields and costs and in a timely manner, our business would be

                                       13


seriously harmed. As a result, we would have to identify and qualify substitute
foundries, which would be time consuming and difficult and could result in
unforeseen manufacturing and operations problems. In addition, if competition
for foundry capacity increases, our product costs may increase, and we may be
required to pay or invest significant amounts to secure access to manufacturing
services. We are also exposed to additional risks if we decide to transfer our
production of semiconductors from one foundry to another. We may qualify
additional foundries in the future. If we do not qualify additional foundries,
we may be exposed to increased risk of capacity shortages due to our complete
dependence on our foundries.

We may not adequately forecast the number of wafers we need, and therefore we
may not be able to react to fluctuations in demand for our products, which
could result in higher operating expenses and lower revenues.

   We must forecast the number of wafers we need from each of our foundries.
However, if customer demand falls below our forecast and we are unable to
reschedule or cancel our wafer orders, we may retain excess wafer inventories,
which could result in higher operating expenses and reduced gross margins.
Conversely, if customer demand exceeds our forecasts, we may be unable to
obtain an adequate supply of wafers to fill customer orders, which could result
in lower revenues and could harm our relationship with key customers.

If we do not achieve acceptable wafer manufacturing yields, our costs could
increase, and our products may not be deliverable which could lead to higher
operating expenses and lower revenues and damage to our customer relationships.

   The fabrication of our products requires wafers to be produced in a highly
controlled and clean environment. Semiconductor companies that supply our
wafers sometimes have experienced problems achieving acceptable wafer
manufacturing yields. Semiconductor manufacturing yields are a function of both
our design technology and the particular foundry's manufacturing process
technology. Low yields may result from design errors or manufacturing failures.
Yield problems may not be determined or improved until an actual image sensor
is made and can be tested. As a result, yield problems may not be identified
until the wafers are well into the production process. We only test our
products after they are assembled, as their optical nature makes earlier
testing difficult and expensive. The risks associated with yields are even
greater because we rely on third party offshore foundries for our wafers which
increases the effort and time required to identify, communicate and resolve
manufacturing yield problems. If the foundries cannot achieve the planned
yields, this will result in higher costs and reduced product availability.

We depend on third party vendors for color filter processing and assembly,
which reduces our control over delivery schedules, product quality and cost.

   After our wafers are produced, they are color filter processed and assembled
by six independent vendors: TSMC, PSC and Toppan Printing Co., Ltd., or Toppan
for the color filtering process and Kyocera Corporation, or Kyocera, Taiwan
Electronic Packaging Company, or TEPC, and Alphatec Semiconductor Packaging
Company Limited, or Alphatec, for additional processing and assembly. We do not
have long term agreements with any of these vendors and typically obtain
services from them on a purchase order basis. Our reliance on these vendors
involves risks such as reduced control over delivery schedules, quality
assurance and costs. These risks could result in product shortages or could
increase our costs of manufacturing, assembling or testing our products. If
these vendors are unable or unwilling to continue to provide color filter
processing and assembly services and deliver products of acceptable quality, at
acceptable costs and in a timely manner, our business would be seriously
harmed. We would also have to identify and qualify substitute vendors, which
could be time consuming and difficult and result in unforeseen operations
problems.

Our lengthy manufacturing, packaging and assembly cycle, in addition to our
customers' design cycle, may result in uncertainty and delays in generating
revenues.

   A lengthy manufacturing, packaging and assembly process, typically lasting
four months or more, is required to manufacture our image sensors. It can take
additional time before a customer commences volume

                                       14


shipments of products that incorporate our image sensors. Even when a
manufacturer decides to design our image sensors into its products, the
manufacturer may never ship final products incorporating our image sensors.
Given this lengthy cycle, we experience a delay between the time we incur
expenditures for research and development, sales and marketing efforts and
inventory and the time we generate revenues, if any, from these expenditures.
As a result, our revenues and profits could be seriously harmed if a
significant customer reduces or delays orders or chooses not to release
products incorporating our products.

If the demand for our products in current markets and emerging markets fails to
increase as we anticipate, our growth prospects would be diminished.

   Our success depends in large part on the continued growth of various markets
that use our products and the emergence of new markets for our products. The
current markets that use our products include digital still cameras, personal
computer video cameras, personal digital assistant cameras, mobile phone
cameras, security and surveillance systems, closed circuit television systems
and toys and games. Emerging markets for our products include personal
identification systems, medical imaging devices, machine control systems,
videophones and automotive applications. If these markets do not continue to
grow and develop, the need for cameras which are lower in cost, smaller,
lighter in weight, consume less power and are more reliable might not fully
develop. In such case, it would be unlikely that our products would achieve
commercial success.

Failure to obtain design wins could cause our revenues to level off or decline.

   Our future success will depend on camera manufacturers designing our image
sensors into their systems. To achieve design wins, which are decisions by
those manufacturers to design our products into their systems, we must define
and deliver cost effective, innovative and integrated semiconductor solutions.
Once a manufacturer has designed a supplier's products into its systems, the
manufacturer may be reluctant to change its source of components due to the
significant costs associated with qualifying a new supplier. Accordingly, the
failure to achieve design wins with key camera manufacturers could decrease our
market share or revenues.

Continuing declines in our average sales prices since the first quarter of
fiscal 1999 may result in declines in our gross margins.

   Because the image sensor market is characterized by intense competition, and
price reductions for our products are necessary to meet consumer pricepoints,
we expect to experience market driven pricing pressures. This will likely
result in a decline in average sales prices for our products. We believe that
we can offset declining average sales prices by achieving manufacturing cost
efficiencies, developing new products that incorporate more advanced technology
and including more advanced features that can be sold at stable average gross
margins. However, if we are unable to achieve such cost reductions and
technological advances, or are unable to timely introduce new products, we will
lose revenues and gross margins will decline.

Seasonality in our business will cause our results of operations to fluctuate
from period to period and could cause our stock price to fluctuate or decline.

   Sales of our image sensors are subject to seasonality. Some of the products
using our image sensors such as PC video cameras and digital still cameras are
consumer electronics goods. Typically, these goods are subject to seasonality
with generally increased sales in November and December due to the holidays. In
addition, we have experienced a decrease in orders in the quarter ended April
30 from our Chinese and Taiwanese customers primarily due to the Chinese New
Year. As a result, we believe product sales are impacted by seasonal purchasing
patterns with higher sales generally occurring in the second half of each year.

We depend on a few key customers, and the loss of any of them could
significantly reduce our revenues.

   Historically, a relatively small number of customers and distributors has
accounted for a significant portion of our product revenues. For the three
months ended July 31, 2000, one of our distributors, World Peace,

                                       15


represented approximately 29.8% of total revenues and one of our camera
manufacturer customers, Viewquest Technologies, Inc., accounted for
approximately 12.5% of total revenues. For the three months ended July 31,
1999, two of our distributors, World Peace and Holy Stone Electronics,
accounted for approximately 23.2% of total revenues and approximately 21.8% of
total revenues, respectively, and one of our camera manufacturer customers,
Alaris, accounted for approximately 12% of total revenues.

   As a result of customer concentration, a significant reduction, delay or
cancellation of orders from one or more of our key camera manufacturers or
distributors, or a decision by our significant customers to select products
manufactured by a competitor for inclusion in future product generations could
seriously harm our business. For example, in 1999, we had to replace one of our
largest distributors with Wintek Electronics because that distributor decided
to distribute a competitor's products. We expect our operating results to
continue to depend on sales to or design decisions of a relatively small number
of distributors and camera manufacturers.

We do not have long term commitments from our customers, and we allocate
resources based on our estimates of customer demand, which could lead to excess
inventory and lost revenue opportunities.

   Our sales are generally made on the basis of purchase orders rather than
long term purchase commitments. In addition, our customers may cancel or defer
purchase orders. We manufacture our products according to our estimates of
customer demand. This process requires us to make multiple demand forecast
assumptions, each of which may introduce error into our estimates. If we
overestimate customer demand, we may allocate resources to manufacturing
products which we may not be able to sell or we may have to sell our products
to other customers for lower prices. As a result, we would have excess
inventory, which would have an adverse impact on our results of operations. For
example, customers such as Creative Technology and Alaris unexpectedly deferred
their purchase orders for two of our products in 1999 which resulted in our
shipping fewer quantities to them in the first quarter of fiscal year 2000 and
a higher than expected inventory position. Conversely, if we underestimate
customer demand or if sufficient manufacturing capacity is unavailable, we
would forego revenue opportunities, lose market share and damage our customer
relationships.

We face foreign business, political and economic risks because a majority of
our products, and our customers' products are manufactured and sold outside of
the United States.

   A substantial portion of our business, in particular, the manufacturing,
processing and assembly of our products, is conducted outside of the United
States, and as a result, we are subject to foreign business, political and
economic risks. All of our products are manufactured outside of the United
States. Many of our customers are camera manufacturers or are the manufacturers
or suppliers for camera manufacturers and are located in China, Japan, Korea,
Singapore and Taiwan. In addition, sales outside of the United States accounted
for approximately 90.3% of our revenues for the three months ended July 31,
2000 and 73.7% of our revenues for the three months ended July 31, 1999. We
anticipate that sales outside of the United States will continue to account for
a substantial portion of our revenue in future periods. Accordingly, we are
subject to foreign risks, including:

  . difficulties in managing distributors;

  . difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations;

  . difficulties in managing foundries and third party manufacturers;

  . political and economic instability which may have an adverse impact on
    foreign exchange rates in Asia;

  . inadequacy of local infrastructure, in particular with respect to our
    future expansion in China; and

  . difficulties in accounts receivable collections.

   In addition, camera manufacturers who design our solutions into their
products sell them outside of the United States. This exposes us indirectly to
foreign risks. Because sales of our products have been denominated

                                       16


to date exclusively in United States dollars, increases in the value of the
United States dollar will increase the price of our products so that they
become relatively more expensive to customers in the local currency of a
particular country, leading to a reduction in revenues and profitability in
that country. A portion of our international revenues may be denominated in
foreign currencies in the future, which will subject us to risks associated
with fluctuations in those foreign currencies.

Our dependence on selling through distributors increases the complexity of our
business which may increase our operating costs and may reduce our ability to
forecast revenues.

   Our revenues depend on design wins with new camera manufacturers which, in
turn, rely on third party manufacturers or distributors to provide inventory
management and purchasing functions. Selling through distributors reduces our
ability to forecast sales and increases the complexity of our business,
requiring us to:

  . manage a more complex supply chain;

  . manage the level of inventory at each distributor;

  . provide for credits, return rights and price protection;

  . estimate the impact of credits, return rights, price protection and
    unsold inventory at distributors; and

  . monitor the financial condition and credit worthiness of our
    distributors. Any failure to manage these challenges could reduce our
    revenues and damage our relationships with our distributors.

We face intense competition in our markets from more established charged couple
device image sensor manufacturers and complementary metal oxide semiconductor
image sensor manufacturers and if we are unable to compete successfully, we
will not achieve our financial objectives.

   The image sensor market is intensely competitive. These markets are
characterized by rapid technological change, evolving standards, short product
life cycles and decreasing prices. Our current products face competition from a
number of sources including companies which sell charged couple device image
sensors as well as other companies which sell multiple chip complementary metal
oxide semiconductor image sensors. We expect competition in our markets to
increase.

   Many of our competitors have longer operating histories and greater presence
in key markets, greater name recognition, access to large customer bases and
significantly greater financial, sales and marketing, manufacturing,
distribution, technical and other resources than we do. As a result, they may
be able to adapt more quickly to new or emerging technologies and customer
requirements or devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of their
product than we may. Our competition includes charged couple device image
sensor manufacturers, including Matsushita Electric Industrial, Sanyo Electric
Co. Ltd., Sharp Corporation, Sony Corporation, Toshiba Corporation and Victor
Company of Japan, as well as complementary metal oxide semiconductor image
sensor manufacturers such as Agilent Technologies, Inc., Conexant Systems,
Inc., Hyundai Electronics Industries Co. Ltd., Mitsubishi Electronic, Motorola,
Inc., ST Microelectronics and Toshiba Corporation. In addition, there are a
large number of smaller startup companies including ElecVision, Inc. and
Photobit Corporation, which may compete with us. In particular, Hyundai and
Agilent Technologies have introduced multiple chip complementary metal oxide
semiconductor image sensors. We cannot assure you that we can compete
successfully against current or potential competitors, or that competition will
not seriously harm our business by reducing sales of our products, reducing our
profits and reducing our market share.

Our success depends on the development and introduction of new products, which
we may not be able to do in a timely manner because the process of developing
products using complementary metal oxide semiconductor image sensors is complex
and costly.

   The development of new products is highly complex, and we have experienced
delays in completing the development and introduction of new products on
several occasions in the past, some of which exceeded six

                                       17


months. As our products integrate new and more advanced functions, they become
more complex and increasingly difficult to design and debug. Successful product
development and introduction depend on a number of factors, including:

  . accurate prediction of market requirements and evolving standards,
    including pixel resolution, output interface standards, power
    requirements, optical lens size, input standards and operating systems
    for personal computers and other platforms;

  . development of advanced technologies and capabilities;

  . definition of new products which satisfy customer requirements;

  . timely completion and introduction of new product designs;

  . use of leading edge foundry processes and achievement of high
    manufacturing yields; and

  . market acceptance of the new products.

   Accomplishing all of this is extremely challenging, time consuming and
expensive. We cannot assure you that any new products or product enhancements
will be developed in time to capture market opportunities or achieve a
significant or sustainable level of acceptance in new and existing markets.

The high level of complexity and integration of functions of our products
increases the risk of latent defects which could damage customer relationships
and increase our costs.

   Because we integrate many functions on a single chip, our products are
complex. The greater integration of functions and complexity of operations of
our products, the greater the risk that latent defects or subtle faults could
be discovered by customers or end users after volumes of product have been
shipped. Although we test our products, they may contain defects and errors. In
the past we have encountered defects and errors in our products. Delivery of
products with defects or reliability, quality or compatibility problems may
damage our reputation and our ability to retain existing customers and attract
new customers. In addition, product defects and errors could result in
additional development costs, diversion of technical resources, delayed product
shipments, increased product returns, product warranty costs for recall and
replacement and product liability claims against us which may not be fully
covered by insurance.

We maintain a backlog of customer orders which is subject to cancellation or
delay in delivery schedules, and any cancellation or delay may result in lower
than anticipated revenues.

   We manufacture and market primarily standard products. Our sales are
generally made pursuant to standard purchase orders. We include in our backlog
only those customer orders for which we have accepted purchase orders and
assigned shipment dates within the upcoming twelve months. Although our backlog
is typically filled within two to four quarters, orders constituting our
current backlog are subject to cancellation or changes in delivery schedules,
and backlog may not necessarily be an indication of future revenue. In
addition, the current backlog will not necessarily lead to revenues in any
future period. Any cancellation or delay in orders which constitute our current
or future backlog may result in lower than expected revenues. Our bookings
visibility continues to be limited with a substantial majority of our quarterly
product revenues coming from orders that are received and fulfilled in the same
quarter.

We must attract and retain qualified personnel to be successful, and
competition for qualified personnel is intense in our market.

   Our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued contributions
of our key management, technical and sales personnel, many of whom would be
difficult to replace. The loss of one or more of these employees could
seriously harm our business. We do not have key person life insurance on any of
our key personnel. We have no agreements which obligate our employees to
continue working for us. Our success also

                                       18


depends on our ability to identify, attract and retain qualified technical
(particularly analog or mixed signal design engineers), sales, marketing,
finance and management personnel. Competition for qualified personnel is
particularly intense in our industry and in Silicon Valley, California. This is
due to a number of factors, including the high concentration of established and
emerging growth technology companies. This competition makes it difficult to
retain our key personnel and to recruit new qualified personnel. We have
experienced, and may continue to experience, difficulty in hiring and retaining
candidates with appropriate qualifications. If we do not succeed in hiring and
retaining candidates with appropriate qualifications, our revenues and product
development efforts could be harmed.

We may be unable to adequately protect our intellectual property and therefore
we may lose some of our competitive advantage.

   We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret
laws, as well as nondisclosure agreements and other methods to protect our
proprietary technologies. We have been issued patents and have a number of
pending United States and foreign patent applications. However, we cannot
assure you that any patent will issue as a result of any applications or, if
issued, that any claims allowed will be sufficiently broad to protect our
technology. In addition, it is possible that existing or future patents may be
challenged, invalidated or circumvented. It may be possible for a third party
to copy or otherwise obtain and use our products, or technology without
authorization, develop similar technology independently or design around our
patents. Effective copyright, trademark and trade secret protection may be
unavailable or limited in foreign countries. These disputes may result in
costly and time consuming litigation or the license of additional elements of
our intellectual property for free.

We could become subject to litigation regarding intellectual property, which
could divert management attention, be costly to defend and prevent us from
using or selling the challenged technology.

   In recent years, there has been significant litigation in the United States
involving patents and other intellectual property rights. This litigation is
widespread in the technology industry and is particularly prevalent in the
semiconductor industry, where a number of companies aggressively use their
patent portfolios by bringing numerous infringement claims. In addition, in
recent years, there has been an increase in the filing of nuisance suits
alleging infringement of intellectual property rights, which pressure
defendants into entering settlement arrangements to quickly dispose of such
suits, regardless of their merits.

   In March 2000, we received written notice from Koninklijke Philips N.V.
("Philips") in which Philips claimed to have patent rights in a serial bus
system for data transmission, known as the I2C bus system. We are currently in
negotiations with Philips for royalty or licensing arrangements. Specifically,
Philips has initially requested a royalty rate of 2% of the net selling price
of products that use the I2C bus system. However, we may not be able to enter
into any royalty or licensing agreements on commercially acceptable terms or at
all. During the negotiation period, we completed implementing a redesigned
serial bus system for our products in an effort to avoid infringement of
Philips' patents. Although the opinion of our patent counsel is that our
redesigned serial bus system does not infringe upon Philips' patents, Philips
may still assert a claim of infringement on the redesigned serial bus system.
Should Philips assert a claim of infringement on the redesigned serial bus
system, we plan to vigorously defend ourselves. Additionally we cannot be sure
that the redesign will result in competitive products.

   In March 1999, we received a written notice from Photobit Corporation in
which Photobit claimed to have patent rights in certain image sensor
technology. Photobit requested that we review our products in light of one of
their issued patents U.S. Patent No. 5,841,126. We have reviewed Photobit's
patent and based on an opinion from our patent counsel, we do not believe there
is a valid claim against us under this patent. In June 2000, we received a
second written notice from Photobit, in which Photobit reiterated their claim
on U.S. Patent No. 5,841,126 and further alleged that we infringed upon U.S.
Patent No. 5,886,659, U.S. Patent No. 5,990,506, U.S. Patent No. 6,005,619 and
U.S. Patent No. 6,021,172 related to various aspects of color image sensors.
Photobit did not indicate which of our products nor the manner in which any of
our products might infringe on its patents. We have reviewed these additional
patents and based on an opinion from our patent counsel, we do

                                       19


not believe there is a valid claim against us under any of these patents. We
plan to vigorously defend ourselves against any claim arising from these
notices.

   Photobit or other companies may pursue litigation with respect to these or
other claims. The results of any litigation are inherently uncertain. In the
event of an adverse result in any litigation with respect to intellectual
property rights relevant to our products that could arise in the future, we
could be required to obtain licenses to the infringing technology, pay
substantial damages under applicable law, including treble damages if we are
held to have willfully infringed, cease the manufacture, use and sale of
infringing products or to expend significant resources to develop noninfringing
technology. Litigation frequently involves substantial expenditures and can
require significant management attention, even if we ultimately prevail.

Failure to effectively manage our growth could adversely affect our ability to
increase our revenues and improve our earnings.

   We are experiencing a period of significant growth that will continue to
place a great strain on our management and other resources. We have grown from
62 employees on July 31, 1999 to 73 employees on July 31, 2000. To manage our
growth effectively, we must, among other things:

  . implement and improve operational and financial systems;

  . train and manage our employee base; and

  . attract and retain qualified personnel with relevant experience.

   We must also manage multiple relationships with customers, business partners
and other third parties, such as our foundries and process and assembly
vendors. Moreover, our growth may significantly overburden our management and
financial systems and other resources. We also cannot assure you that we have
made adequate allowances for the costs and risks associated with this
expansion. In addition, our systems, procedures or controls may not be adequate
to support our operations, and we may not be able to expand quickly enough to
capitalize on potential market opportunities. Our future operating results will
also depend on expanding sales and marketing, research and development and
administrative support.

Provisions in our charter documents and Delaware law could prevent or delay a
change in control of OmniVision and may reduce the market price of our common
stock.

   Provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may discourage,
delay or prevent a merger or acquisition that a stockholder may consider
favorable. These provisions include:

  . adjusting the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of
    preferred stock without stockholder approval;

  . providing for a classified board of directors with staggered, three year
    terms;

  . requiring supermajority voting to amend some provisions in our
    certificate of incorporation and bylaws;

  . limiting the persons who may call special meetings of stockholders; and

  . prohibiting stockholder actions by written consent.

   Provisions of Delaware law also may discourage, delay or prevent another
company from acquiring or merging with us.

Our stock has been and will likely continue to be subject to substantial price
and volume fluctuations due to a number of factors, many of which will be
beyond our control, that may prevent our stockholders from reselling our common
stock at a profit.

   The securities markets have experienced significant price and volume
fluctuations in the past and the market prices of the securities of
semiconductor companies have been especially volatile. This market volatility,
as well as general economic, market or political conditions, could reduce the
market price of our

                                       20


common stock in spite of our operating performance. The market price of our
common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors,
including:

  . actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;

  . changes in expectations as to our future financial performance;

  . changes in financial estimates of securities analysts;

  . release of lock-up or the transfer restrictions on our outstanding shares
    of common stock or sales of additional shares of common stock;

  . changes in market valuations of other technology companies; and

  . announcements by us or our competitors of significant technical
    innovations, design wins, contracts, standards or acquisitions.

   Due to these factors, the price of our stock may decline and investors may
be unable to resell their shares of our stock for a profit. In addition, the
stock market experiences extreme volatility that often is unrelated to the
performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may cause our
stock price to decline regardless of our performance.

Class action litigation due to stock price volatility could lead to substantial
costs and divert our management's attention and resources.

   In the past, securities class action litigation often has been brought
against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its
securities. Companies in the semiconductor industry and other technology
industries are particularly vulnerable to this kind of litigation due to the
high volatility of their stock prices. Accordingly, we may in the future be the
target of securities litigation. Securities litigation could result in
substantial costs and could divert our management's attention and resources.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

   We are an international company, selling our products globally and, in
particular in China, Japan, Korea, Singapore and Taiwan. Although we transact
our business in U.S. dollars, future fluctuations in the value of the U.S.
dollar may affect the competitiveness of our products, gross profits realized,
and results of operations. Further, we incur expenses in Japan, Korea, Taiwan,
Thailand and other countries that are denominated in currencies other than the
U.S. dollar. We cannot estimate the effect that an immediate 10% change in
foreign currency exchange rates would have on our future operating results or
cash flows as a direct result of changes in exchange rates. However, we do not
believe that we currently have any significant direct foreign currency exchange
rate risk, and we have not hedged exposures denominated in foreign currencies
or any other derivative financial instruments.

   Our cash equivalents and short term investments are exposed to financial
market risk due to fluctuation in interest rates, which may affect our interest
income and, in the future, the fair market value of our investments. We manage
our exposure to financial market risk by performing ongoing evaluations of our
investment portfolio. We presently invest in short term bank market rate
accounts, certificates of deposit issued by banks, high-grade corporate
securities and government bonds maturing approximately twelve months or less
from the date of purchase. Due to the short maturities of our investments, the
carrying value should approximate the fair market value. In addition, we do not
use our investments for trading or other speculative purposes. Due to the short
duration of our investment portfolio, we do not expect that an immediate 10%
change in interest rates would have a material effect on the fair market value
or our portfolio. Therefore, we would not expect our operating results or cash
flows to be affected to any significant degree by the effect of a sudden change
in market interest rates.

                           PART II--OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

   We completed our initial public offering ("IPO") on July 14, 2000, pursuant
to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-31926), which was
declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 13, 2000.
In the IPO, we sold an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of common stock ( the
underwriters' over-allotment option of 750,000 shares of common stock was
exercised in August 2000. See note 10 "Subsequent events" for details) at
$13.00 per share. The sale of the shares of common stock generated aggregate
gross proceeds of approximately $65,000,000. The aggregate net proceeds were
approximately $59,197,000, after deducting underwriting discounts and
commissions of approximately $4,550,000 and directly paying expenses of the
offering of approximately $1,253,000. Fleet Boston Robertson Stephens Inc.,
Prudential Volpe Technology and Needham & Company, Inc. were the lead
underwriters for the IPO.

   Other than anticipated capital expenditures in the amount of approximately
$3.0 million in the next 12 months, we have no specific plan for the proceeds
from our initial public offering. The primary purpose of the offering is to use
the proceeds for general corporate purposes, including working capital. We may
also use some of the proceeds to meet capacity commitments or to acquire other
companies, technology or products that complement our business, although we are
not currently planning any of these transactions. Pending these uses, the net
proceeds of the offering will be invested in interest bearing, investment grade
securities.
