NVE CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2003

1. INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION The accompanying unaudited financial statements of NVE Corporation (the "Company") are consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and reporting with SEC regulations. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements. Although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, it is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes included in our latest annual financial statements included in our report on Form 10-KSB. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending March 31, 2004.

2. NATURE OF BUSINESS We develop, manufacture, and sell "spintronics" devices, a nanotechnology which relies on electron spin rather than electron charge to acquire, store, and transmit information.

3. REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue from product sales to direct customers is recognized upon shipment. Revenue from licensing and technology development programs, which is nonrefundable and for which no significant future obligations exist, is recognized when the license is signed. Revenue from licensing and technology development programs, which is refundable, recoupable against future royalties, or for which future obligations exist, is recognized when we have completed our obligations under the terms of the agreements. Revenue from royalties is recognized upon the shipment of product from our technology license partners to direct customers. Certain research and development activities are conducted for third parties and such revenue is recognized as the services are performed.

4. EARNINGS PER SHARE We calculate our income per share pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS 128"), Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during each year. Diluted net income per share amounts assume conversion, exercise or issuance of all potential common stock instruments (stock options, warrants and convertible preferred stock). Potentially dilutive securities including warrants and stock options are excluded from diluted earnings per share during net loss periods because these securities would be anti-dilutive.

5. INVESTMENTS We classify and account for debt and equity securities in accordance with SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. The Company's entire portfolio is classified as available for sale; thus, securities are recorded at fair market value and any associated unrealized gain or loss, net of tax, is included as a separate component of shareholders' equity, "Accumulated other comprehensive income."


6. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME The components of comprehensive income are as follows:

8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION We have adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS Nos. 123 and 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, but apply Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations in accounting for our plans. Under APB No. 25, when the exercise price of employee stock options equals or exceeds the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.

Pro forma information regarding net income and income per share is required by SFAS Nos. 123 and 148, and has been determined as if we had accounted for our employee stock options under the fair value method of that Statement. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black- Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:
risk-free interest rate of 2.7% for the three months ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, expected volatility of 55%, a weighted-average expected life of the options of four to seven years, and no dividend yield.

Option valuation models were developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. Because our employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of our employee stock options.


The pro forma information is as follows:

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Some of the statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB, except for historical information contained in this Form 10-QSB, constitute forward- looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are subject to the safe harbor provisions of the reform act. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of the terminology such as may, will, expect, anticipate, intend, believe, estimate, should, or continue or the negatives of these terms or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. To the extent that this Form 10-QSB contains forward-looking statements regarding the financial condition, operating results, business prospects or any other aspect of NVE, you should be aware that our actual financial condition, operating results and business performance may differ materially from that projected or estimated by us in the forward-looking statements. These differences may be caused by a variety of factors, including but not limited to adverse economic conditions, intense competition, including entry of new competitors, our ability to obtain sufficient financing to support our operations, progress in research and development activities by us and others, variations in costs that are beyond our control, adverse federal, state and local government regulations, unexpected costs, lower sales and net income, or higher net losses than forecasted, price increases for equipment, our dependence on significant suppliers, including Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation for foundry semiconductor wafers, our ability to meet stringent customer technical requirements, our ability to consummate additional license agreements, our ability to continue eligibility for SBIR awards, our inability to raise prices, failure to obtain new customers, the possible fluctuation and volatility of our operating results and financial condition, inability to carry out marketing and sales plans, loss of key executives, and other specific risks included in Exhibit 99.1 "Cautionary statements for purposes of the 'safe harbor' provisions of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act," filed herewith.

General

We develop, manufacture, and sell "spintronics" devices, which are nanotechnology devices that rely on electron spin rather than electron charge to acquire, store, and transmit information in electronic systems. We derive revenue from three sources:

1) contract spintronics research and development (principally government contracts);

2) commercial sales of spintronic integrated circuit type sensor and coupler products; and

3) licenses for our magnetic random-access memory (MRAM) intellectual property.


Critical accounting policies

It is important to understand our significant accounting policies in order to understand our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These accounting principles require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in our financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results are likely to differ from those estimates, but we do not believe such differences will materially affect our financial position or results of operations for the periods presented in this report.

Revenue recognition

Revenue from product sales to direct customers is recognized upon shipment. Revenue from licensing and technology development programs, which is nonrefundable and for which no significant future obligations exist, is recognized when the license is signed. Revenue from licensing and technology development programs, which is refundable, recoupable against future royalties, or for which future obligations exist, is recognized when we complete our obligations under the terms of the agreements. Revenue from royalties is recognized upon the shipment of product from our technology license partners to direct customers. Certain research and development activities are conducted for third parties and such revenue is recognized as the services are performed. Payments received from licensing and technology development programs relating to future obligations as well as prepayments for future discounts on product sales are recorded as deferred revenue.

Bad Debt

We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

Inventory

We reduce the stated value of our inventory for excess quantities or obsolescence in an amount equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual future demand or market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional reductions in stated value may be required.

Income Taxes

In determining the carrying value of our net deferred tax assets, we must assess the likelihood of sufficient future taxable income in certain tax jurisdictions, based on estimates and assumptions to realize the benefit of these assets. Our management evaluates the realizability of the deferred assets quarterly and assesses the need for valuation allowances or reduction of existing allowances quarterly.

                                         =======          =======

Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2003 was $3,118,127, an increase of 33% from revenue of $2,337,052 for the three months ended December 31, 2002. The revenue increase was primarily due to a 162% increase in commercial product sales to $1,484,766 from $565,633. Research and development revenue decreased 2% to $1,633,361 from $1,673,502 due to completion of revenue recognized under our agreement with Agilent Technologies, Inc., partially offset by increased government contract revenue. Such non-recurring revenues from Agilent were $250,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2002. Increases in commercial product sales were partially offset by an absence of license revenue due to completion of revenue recognition for payments under our MRAM license agreements. Such license revenues were $97,917 for the three months ended December 31, 2002.

Gross profit remained the same at 39% for the three months ended December 31, 2003 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2002.

Research and development expenses decreased by 30% to $230,671 for the three months ended December 31, 2003 as compared to $327,472 for the three months ended December 31, 2002. The decrease was due to completion of the development of some of our commercial products.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2003 increased by 10% to $464,264 compared to $420,862 for the three months ended December 31, 2002. The increase was due to increased commercial selling expenditures, including new product marketing programs.

Net income totaled $577,156 for the three months ended December 31, 2003 compared to $234,161 for the three months ended December 31, 2002. The increase in net income was due to higher revenues and higher commercial product margins.

Diluted net income per share increased to $0.12 from $0.05. The increase in diluted net income per share was despite an increase in diluted shares to 4,831,540 from 4,466,199 due primarily to a large increase in our stock price which resulted in a larger dilutive effect from the Cypress warrant and other warrants and options.


NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED

The table shown below summarizes the percentage of revenue for various items for the periods indicated:

Revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 was $8,802,161, an increase of 29% from revenue of $6,844,652 for the nine months ended December 31, 2002. The revenue increase was primarily due to increases in commercial product sales and research and development revenue. Commercial product sales increased 126% to $3,852,282 from $1,707,633. Research and development revenue increased 2% to $4,949,879 from $4,843,268 due to increased government contract revenue, partially offset by the completion of revenue recognized under our agreement with Agilent Technologies, Inc. Such revenues from Agilent were $550,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2002. Increases in commercial product sales and research and development revenue were partially offset by an absence of license revenue due to completion of revenue recognition for payments under our MRAM license agreements. Such license revenues were $293,751 for the nine months ended December 31, 2002.

Gross profit margins decreased to 37% for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 as compared to 38% for the nine months ended December 31, 2002. The decrease was due to $293,751 in license revenue and $550,000 in revenue recognized under our agreement with Agilent Technologies, Inc. for the nine months ended December 31, 2002, which have not recurred. The decrease in gross profit was mostly offset by higher commercial product margins due to successful yield improvement and wafer cost reduction programs.

Research and development expenses decreased by 25% to $711,913 for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 as compared to $944,330 for the nine months ended December 31, 2002. The decrease was due to completion of the development of some of our commercial products.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 increased by 5% to $1,390,818 compared to $1,324,302 for the nine months ended December 31, 2002. The increase was due to increased commercial selling expenditures.

Net income totaled $1,318,050 for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 compared to $486,686 for the nine months ended December 31, 2002. The increase in net income was due to higher revenues and higher commercial product margins.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash plus available-for-sale securities were $6,699,809 at December 31, 2003, compared to $6,475,865 at March 31, 2003. The increase was due to net income, partially offset by investments in machinery and equipment and increases in inventories related to the growth of our commercial product sales.

We expect to continue to invest in machinery, equipment, and facilities in the balance of the fiscal year and in the next fiscal year, as we continue to increase our manufacturing capacity. We believe our working capital is adequate to meet our requirements for at least the next twelve months.

OUTLOOK

We expect to broaden our sensor and coupler product lines, and continue to increase commercial product sales in the rest of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2004 ("Fiscal 2004"), and we expect to report a solid profit for Fiscal 2004. Possible expenses related to commercialization and market development for Cypress-manufactured MRAMs to be sold by us could decrease our quarterly profits in the next several quarters. We expect to make such expenditures, however, only if Cypress is successful in producing commercial MRAM.


Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

a. Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the last day of the period covered by this quarterly report (the "Evaluation Date"). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely alerting them to the material information relating to us required to be included in our periodic SEC filings.

b. Changes in internal controls.

There were no significant changes made in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13 a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this report that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.


PART II--OTHER INFORMATION

Item 5. Other Information

On December 1, 2003, we executed a lease amendment for our principal offices, located at 11409 Valley View Road, Eden Prairie, Minnesota 55344. The space consists of approximately 21,362 square feet of office, laboratory, and production space. The amendment extends through December 31, 2008 a lease that would have expired December 31, 2006. We believe this space will be adequate for our needs for the amended term of the lease. We plan to make improvements to our production space in order to increase our capacity and capabilities, and the lease extension will allow us a better financial return on such facility improvements.

In consideration of the extending the term, the amendment provides us a $50,000 facility improvement allowance for calendar year 2004 and limits the base rent increases for each of calendar 2007 and 2008 to 3%. In addition to base rent, we pay operating expenses for the space including maintenance, utilities, real estate taxes and insurance.

The lease amendment is filed herewith.

SECOND AMENDMENT TO LEASE

This Second Amendment to Lease ("Agreement") is made and entered into as of December 1, 2003, by and between Glenborough Fund IX, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, ("Landlord") and NVE Corporation, a Minnesota corporation ("Tenant").

R E C I T A L S

This Agreement is made with reference to the following facts and objectives:
A. By Lease and Addendum to Lease by and between Glenborough Properties, L.P., a California limited partnership, ("GPLP") and Nonvolatile Electronics, Inc., a Minnesota corporation, dated as of October 1, 1998, (together, the "Lease") Tenant leased the Premises depicted in Exhibit "A" to the Lease, demised in Section 1. of the Lease, and described in Sections 1., 2.13., and 2.14. as Suites 11405, 11409,11411, and 11415 deemed to contain approximately 21,362 square feet of Usable Area located at 11405-11415 Valley View Road, Eden Prairie, Minnesota, in the Project known as Bryant Lake Business Center - Phase III. The actual mailing address for the Premises is 11409 Valley View Road, Eden Prairie, Minnesota.
B. Landlord has succeeded to the interests of GPLP in the Lease and in the Premises. Tenant has succeeded to the interests and obligations of Nonvolatile Electronics, Inc., in the Lease and in the Premises, by way of corporate merger.
C. Landlord and Tenant desire to extend the Term, and to otherwise modify and amend the Lease, on and subject to the terms, covenants, and conditions set forth below. NOW, THEREFORE, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows:

A G R E E M E N T

1. Effective immediately, Section 2.5. of the Lease is modified and amended to set forth a new Expiration Date of December 31, 2008.
2. Effective immediately, Sections 2.2. and 2.9. of the Lease shall be modified and amended to add the following schedule of Monthly Installments of Base Rent to the existing schedules:

January 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007, $10,243.35 / month January 1, 2008, through December 31, 2008, $10,550.65 / month

3. Tenant desires to construct a "clean room" in its Premises and to perform certain other work to be determined later, and Landlord has consented, on and subject to the following provisions:
Landlord shall provide an allowance (the "Allowance") in an amount not to exceed the lesser of $50,000.00, or Tenant's actual construction costs, for construction of its clean room and other improvements in its Premises (such work, hereafter, the "Leasehold Improvements"), as incurred prior to December 31, 2004. Landlord shall disburse the Allowance to Tenant, prior to completion of such work, in the form of four (4) quarterly payments of $12,500.00 each commencing March 31, 2004. Within not more than sixty (60) days after December 31, 2004, Tenant shall provide third-party invoices for all portions Leasehold Improvements work performed prior to December 31, 2004, detailing the dates on which such work was performed. Tenant understands and agrees that the Allowance shall only be available for those portions of the Leasehold Improvements performed prior to December 31, 2004, and Tenant shall return any portion of the Allowance not applicable to Leasehold Improvements performed prior to such date. Reimbursable categories of expense shall include design work; permitting costs; plan check fees, engineering costs; generic HVAC upgrades, if required;

1

clean-room specific HVAC upgrades as required; clean-room specific door, window, ceiling, and floor modifications; cabling costs; and actual construction costs. Non-reimbursable categories of expenses shall include furniture, equipment, and other personal property costs.
Tenant may commence construction of the Leasehold Improvements at any time after the date of this Agreement or execution by Landlord, whichever is later.
Once commenced, Tenant shall diligently complete the Leasehold Improvements, to minimize disruption in the Building, and shall secure a guarantee of the Leasehold Improvements of not less than one (1) year. Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for allowable costs of the Leasehold Improvements out of the Allowance once construction is completed, as detailed above.
Construction of the Leasehold Improvement shall also be subject to the following general conditions:
(a) The Leasehold Improvements shall be installed and/or constructed by or under the direction of Tenant but be subject to Landlord's ongoing review and approval. Tenant shall promptly and diligently install and/or construct the Leasehold Improvements and the specifications for the Leasehold Improvements shall be at least Building Standard, or the quality of the pre-existing improvements in the Premises, except where waived in writing by Landlord.

(b) If Tenant elects to perform work that requires any building permit or involves relocating walls or doors, then Tenant shall provide Landlord with copies of a preliminary space plan and specifications (collectively, the "Space Plan") and, after Landlord has approved or made changes to the Space Plan, with final construction drawings and specifications (collectively, the "Construction Drawings") detailing such work for Landlord's review and approval. No Space Plan or Construction Drawings shall be required for carpet, paint, and updating lighting and other fixtures. Tenant shall obtain all required building permits at its own cost (but subject to subsequent reimbursement out of the Allowance) and shall provide Landlord with copies. Landlord shall reasonably and promptly sign any building permit applications where the owner's signature is required, provided that Tenant hereby agrees to protect, defend, and indemnify Landlord from any liabilities arising there from.

(c) Tenant's general contractor ("General Contractor") and all subcontractors shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Landlord and, at request of Landlord if generally required for work in the Building, shall employ only union workers. General Contractor and all subcontractors shall be licensed and qualified to do business in the State of Minnesota.

(d) Tenant's General Contractor shall provide Landlord with Certificates of Insurance: (i) naming Landlord, its property manager, and any other parties designated by Landlord, as additional insureds, as their respective interests may appear; (ii) evidencing general liability, owner's and contractor's protective ("OCP") liability, and property damage insurance with respect to the work of Leasehold Improvements of at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) combined single limit for bodily injury, death and property damage liability or such other limits that seem appropriate to the scope of the work and financial capacity of the contractor; and (iii) evidencing Workers' Compensation insurance in compliance with State law. The preceding insurance is in addition to Tenant's insurance obligations under the Lease.

(e) Landlord reserves the right to enter the Premises (i) to post such notices, including, without limitation, notices of non-responsibility for mechanics' liens, as Landlord deems necessary, and (ii) to inspect the progress and quality of the Leasehold Improvements.

(f) Tenant shall take all reasonable steps necessary to ensure that the Leasehold Improvements shall be installed and/or constructed in a manner that will not interfere with the quiet enjoyment of other tenants and of guests entering the lobby including, without limitation, complying with Landlord's existing rules and regulations, if any, for contractors and/or for construction work in the Building and with any separate or additional reasonable directives of Landlord. Tenant shall ensure that the work area is kept clean and that construction material does not block any corridor, hallway, walkway, driveway, or other passageway commonly used by other tenants or by maintenance personnel. Tenant shall bring construction materials to the Premises in the manner, and during time periods, specified by Landlord to minimize impact on other tenants, on Building guests, and on the Building. Tenant shall be responsible for all clean-up and disposal of waste, which shall not be disposed of, other than in minor quantities

2

consistent with normal Premises usage, in Building trash containers.

(g) Tenant shall diligently commence and pursue the Leasehold Improvements to completion in accordance with the requirements of this Section and shall be solely responsible for any delays in completion. Upon substantial completion of the Leasehold Improvements, Landlord, Tenant, any space planner or architect, and General Contractor shall walk the Premises together and either agree the Leasehold Improvements are complete or agree upon a list of minor corrective and finish items ("punch list" items) remaining to be done. In addition, not later than ninety (90) days after substantial completion, Tenant shall obtain, and provide Landlord with, any applicable certificate of occupancy or other evidence of final approvals from appropriate municipal authorities, if available, with copies of invoices for the Leasehold Improvements indicating payment in full, and with final, unconditional mechanics' lien releases. Tenant shall diligently pursue correction and/or completion of any outstanding punch list items and, at the request of Landlord, shall certify upon their completion that the Leasehold Improvements have been completed according to "as-built" plans and specifications, providing Landlord with one complete set of such "as-built" plans and specifications for any Leasehold Improvements requiring a building permit, in CD-ROM format if requested by Landlord.

(h) Landlord understands and agrees that the Leasehold Improvements may not be completed prior to December 31, 2004. Tenant understands and agrees that the Allowance is only applicable to work prior to such date.

(i) Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any noncompliance of the Leasehold Improvements with building codes or other laws or regulations notwithstanding Landlord's review and approval of the Space Plan and Construction Drawings and any inspection and approval of the Leasehold Improvements. Tenant shall be solely responsible for complying with all laws and regulations including, without limitation, the American's with Disabilities Act and with any energy conserving laws or requirements; but Landlord shall be responsible for path of travel to the Premises, unless Tenant has relocated entry doors.

4. All other terms, covenants, and conditions of the Lease, shall remain in full force and effect.

This Agreement modifies and amends the Lease. To the extent there are any inconsistencies between this Agreement and the Lease, the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Agreement shall govern. Capitalized terms not defined herein are defined in the Lease.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.

EXHIBIT 99.1

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS FOR PURPOSES OF THE "SAFE HARBOR"
PROVISIONS OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT

NVE Corporation is filing this Exhibit 99.1 to its Quarterly Report on Form 10- QSB to avail itself of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10- QSB, future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, press releases and in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer, the words may, will, expect, anticipate, intend, believe, estimate, should, or continue or the negatives of these terms or other variations on these words or comparable terminology are intended to identify "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These types of statements and the facts or events to which they relate express risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical financial condition, operating results, business prospects or any other aspect of NVE, and those presently anticipated or projected. We caution readers that the following important factors, among others, could affect our financial condition, operating results, business prospects or any other aspect of NVE, and could cause our actual results to differ materially from that projected or estimated by us in the forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf. Although we have attempted to list below the important factors which do or may affect our financial condition, operating results, business prospects or any other aspect of NVE, other factors may in the future prove to be more important. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all of such factors. Similarly, we cannot necessarily assess or quantify the impact of each such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward- looking statements.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

ALTHOUGH WE WERE PROFITABLE IN THE MOST RECENT QUARTER AND FISCAL YEAR, WE HAVE A HISTORY OF OPERATING LOSSES AND COULD SUFFER FURTHER LOSSES IN THE FUTURE.

We had net income (loss) of $646,850 and ($2,100,442) for the years ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, which we refer to as Fiscal 2003 and Fiscal 2002. As of December 31, 2003 we had an accumulated deficit of $3,489,438. We reported net income in Fiscal 2003 and in each of the three quarters of the Fiscal 2004. During Fiscal 2004 approximately $250,000 per quarter of contract research and development revenue and recognition of MRAM license revenues of approximately $98,000 per quarter have ceased. We were able to replace those revenue and profit sources with expanded commercial product sales in Fiscal 2004, but we may not be able to do so in future periods. Furthermore, start-up costs associated with manufacturing, marketing, and selling MRAM devices could lead to operating losses.


WE RELY ON GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS FOR A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF OUR REVENUES AND WE WILL LOSE REVENUE IF WE LOSE THESE CONTRACTS.

During Fiscal 2003 United States government contracts accounted for approximately 60% of our revenues. Disqualification as a vendor to the United States government for any reason or a material decrease in government funding research would cause serious setbacks and would likely hamper both future research and development activity, as well as related revenues.

OUR POTENTIAL FUTURE INELIGIBILITY FOR GOVERNMENT FUNDED RESEARCH GRANTS COULD HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON OUR REVENUE AND OUR ABILITY TO MAKE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRESS.

Federal regulations require a business to be at least 51% owned by one or more individuals to be eligible to compete for Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) awards. In the three months ended December 31, 2003, we were awarded approximately $3.04 million in SBIR contracts. SBIR contracts represented 47.7% of total revenue in Fiscal 2003. While we believe we currently meet the 51% ownership rule, purchases by non-individuals in the open market or by other means could cause us to become ineligible. Such changes in ownership are beyond our control and could cause us to lose our eligibility to compete for SBIR awards, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our revenues profits, and research and development efforts.

WE MAY LOSE REVENUE IF ANY OF OUR LARGE CUSTOMERS CANCEL, POSTPONE, OR REDUCE THEIR PURCHASES.

We rely on several large customers for a large percentage of our commercial revenues; these include Agilent Technologies, Inc., St. Jude Medical, Inc., United States Government, and certain distributors. Orders from these customers can be cancelled, postponed, or reduced without cause or notice, and the loss of any of these customers could have a significant impact on our commercial revenues and our profitability.

WE FACE A DIFFICULT AND UNCERTAIN ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT IN OUR INDUSTRY WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS.

The semiconductor and electronics industries in general have experienced a significant economic downturn during the past two years. The poor economic environment may have adversely affected the sales of many of our customers' products, thus limiting our sales. Economic conditions may not improve in the near term or at all. Any failure of the economic environment to improve or a future downturn would likely have a material adverse impact on our business and revenues.

OUR REPUTATION COULD BE DAMAGED AND WE COULD LOSE REVENUE IF WE FAIL TO MEET TECHNICAL CHALLENGES REQUIRED TO PRODUCE MARKETABLE PRODUCTS.

Our products use new technology and we are continually researching and developing product designs and production processes. Our production processes require control of magnetic and other parameters that are not required in conventional semiconductor processes. If we are unable to develop stable designs and production processes we may not be able to produce products that meet our customers' requirements, which could cause damage to our reputation and loss of revenues.


WE MAY LOSE BUSINESS AND REVENUE IF OUR CRITICAL PRODUCTION EQUIPMENT FAILS.

Our production process relies on certain critical pieces of equipment for defining, depositing, and modifying the magnetic properties of very thin metal films. Some of this equipment was designed or customized by us, and some may no longer be in production. While we have back-ups for some of the equipment, an in-house maintenance staff, some critical spare parts, and maintenance agreements for certain pieces of equipment, we cannot be sure we could repair or replace critical manufacturing equipment were it to fail.

OUR FAILURE TO MEET STRINGENT CUSTOMER TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS COULD RESULT IN THE LOSS OF KEY CUSTOMERS AND POTENTIAL REDUCED SALES.

Some of our customers, including Agilent and St. Jude Medical, have stringent technical requirements which require our products to pass certain test and qualification criteria before they are accepted by such customers. Failure to meet those criteria could result in the loss of current sales revenue, customers and future sales.

IF WE ARE UNABLE TO DELIVER PRODUCTS WE FACE PENALTIES, INCLUDING LOSS OF CERTAIN EXCLUSIVE MANUFACTURING RIGHTS.

Our Agilent supply agreement allows Agilent to gain rights to manufacture couplers based on our technology if we are unable to deliver products on time. The imposition of this penalty could have a material impact on future sales of our products. Furthermore, on reaching certain sales goals, Agilent could gain exclusive rights to distribute certain couplers based on our technology, which could reduce our product sales and leave us partially or totally dependent on Agilent for future coupler sales.

THE LOSS OF SUPPLY FROM ANY OF OUR KEY SINGLE-SOURCE SUPPLIERS COULD IMPACT OUR ABILITY TO PRODUCE AND DELIVER PRODUCTS AND CAUSE LOSS OF REVENUE.

Critical suppliers include our suppliers of certain semiconductor wafers which are incorporated in our products. These critical suppliers include Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation, Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation of Shanghai (China), Texas Instruments Inc., and AMI Semiconductor, Inc. We maintain inventory of some critical wafers, but we have not identified or qualified alternate suppliers for many of the wafers now being obtained from single sources. We are also dependent on our packaging vendors, including Circuit Electronics Industries (Ayutthaya, Thailand), and NS Electronics Bangkok (Thailand), Ltd. Some of our products use processes or tooling unique to a particular packaging vendor, and it might be expensive, time-consuming, or impractical to convert to another vendor in the event of a supply interruption. Supply interruptions could seriously jeopardize our ability to provide products that are critical to our business and operations which may cause us to lose revenue.


BECAUSE WE ARE SIGNIFICANTLY SMALLER THAN THE MAJORITY OF OUR COMPETITORS, WE MAY LACK THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES NEEDED TO INCREASE OUR MARKET SHARE AND FUTURE REVENUE.

Our known competitors and potential competitors include Royal Philips Electronics, Allegro Microsystems, Inc., Agilent Technologies, Inc., Vishay Intertechnology, NEC Corporation, Analog Devices, Inc., Texas Instruments Inc., Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., Intel Corporation, Ramtron International Corporation, Infineon Technologies AG, Xicor, Inc., IBM Corporation, Fujitsu Limited, and others. Most of our competitors and potential competitors are established companies that have significantly greater financial, technical, and marketing resources than us. While we believe that our products have important competitive advantages, our competitors may succeed in developing and marketing products that perform better or are less expensive than ours, or that would render our products and technology obsolete or noncompetitive.

OUR LICENSE AGREEMENTS INCLUDE REVENUE MINIMUMS AND ROYALTY LIMITS WHICH COULD LIMIT THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF REVENUE WE CAN DERIVE UNDER THESE AGREEMENTS.

Our existing license agreements do not provide for us to receive royalties until revenue minimums are met by licensees. In addition, some of these agreements place limits on future royalty and license payments. These provisions could substantially delay our potential revenues and profits from these licensing arrangements and could limit the total amount of revenue that we can derive under these license agreements. Such limits are common practice in our industry, but they could limit our potential MRAM revenues and profits even if our intellectual property is widely adopted.

OUR BUSINESS MAY SUFFER BECAUSE WE HAVE LIMITED INFLUENCE OVER THE RATE OF ADOPTION OF OUR TECHNOLOGY, AND MRAM TECHNOLOGY MAY NOT BUILD INTO A LARGE OR SIGNIFICANT MARKET.

A significant portion of our future revenues and profits is dependent on our licensees and manufacturing partners introducing MRAM products. Production difficulties, technical barriers, high production costs, poor market reception or other problems, almost all of which are outside our control, could prevent the deployment of MRAM or limit its market potential. In addition, our licensees and manufacturing partners may have other priorities that detract attention and resources from introduction of MRAM products using our technology. Furthermore, competing technologies could prevent or supplant MRAM from becoming an important memory technology.

OUR LICENSEES MAY NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE COMMERCIALLY VIABLE MRAMS, WHICH WOULD LIMIT OUR REVENUE FROM MRAM.

MRAM is a new technology, and we are almost completely dependent on our licensees to convert our intellectual property into commercially viable MRAM. While our licensees have made prototypes and samples, several technical and manufacturing issues must be resolved before commercially viable devices can be produced, and these problems may never successfully be solved. Cypress has announced a self-imposed deadline of March 31, 2004 to produce fully-functional samples. Cypress has missed several targets for the production of sample devices, and further delays could have a material impact on our revenues from MRAM. Motorola has announced plans for pilot production by late 2004, but delays could have a material impact on our potential MRAM license revenues.


WE ARE HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON MOTOROLA TO COMBINE OUR MRAM TECHNOLOGY WITH CONVENTIONAL SEMICONDUCTORS AND WE MAY LOSE POTENTIAL REVENUE IF MOTOROLA IS UNSUCCESSFUL

"Embedded" MRAM, that is, MRAM combined with conventional semiconductors, is a major market for MRAM and the primary potential source of royalties from Motorola. We are highly dependent on Motorola's success embedding MRAM into processor and cell phone integrated circuits. Technical difficulties with embedding, production difficulties, high production costs, or other problems, almost all of which are outside our control, could limit our potential MRAM royalties.

WE ARE HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON CYPRESS FOR POTENTIAL SUPPLY OF MRAM DEVICES USING THEIR DESIGNS AND MAY LOSE REVENUE IF WE NEED TO REPLACE CYPRESS AS A SUPPLIER.

Although we have rights to Cypress' MRAM designs, mask works, and other intellectual property, it could be difficult for us to fabricate devices at a foundry other than Cypress. This is because other potential foundries might not have the needed equipment, and Cypress' designs are tailored for their factories. If Cypress is unable to manufacture devices for us for any reason, it could be difficult for us to find another manufacturer for their designs.

CYPRESS COULD CANCEL THEIR MRAM DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM, WHICH WOULD REDUCE OUR FUTURE REVENUE BECAUSE WE COULD NO LONGER SELL DEVICES BASED ON THEIR DESIGNS.

Cypress is not obligated to continue their MRAM development program indefinitely. A cancellation of their MRAM program would likely eliminate our opportunity to sell devices based on their designs.

OUR FUTURE BUSINESS MAY SUFFER BECAUSE WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CONSUMMATE ADDITIONAL MRAM LICENSE AGREEMENTS.

Although there are potential licensees for our MRAM intellectual property in addition to our current licensees and partners, we may never be able to consummate additional license agreements. Potential licensees for our MRAM intellectual property might not be interested unless and until the commercial viability of the technology is demonstrated. Potential licensees could also use their own or a third party's MRAM intellectual property rather than ours. In addition, our existing agreements place restrictions on future license agreements. Specifically, one of our agreements allows one of our licensees to approve licenses with certain other potential licensees. Each of these limitations could hinder our ability to consummate additional MRAM license agreements.

WE WILL NOT RECEIVE ROYALTIES IF OUR LICENSEES DO NOT USE OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.

Our license agreements do not require our licensees to use our intellectual property. Although we believe the devices that Motorola, Inc. and Cypress Semiconductor Corporation have demonstrated would use our intellectual property, our licensees could circumvent or find alternatives to our technology, and our license agreements apply only if our licensees use our intellectual property in their devices. It is possible that our licensees might make MRAM devices without using our technology or infringing on our patents, and we would not receive royalties on such devices.


WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ENFORCE OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OR OUR TECHNOLOGY MAY PROVE TO INFRINGE UPON PATENTS OR RIGHTS OWNED BY OTHERS WHICH MAY PREVENT THE FUTURE SALE OF OUR PRODUCTS.

We protect our proprietary technology and intellectual property by seeking patents and maintaining trade secrets, which we implement by entering into confidentiality agreements with employees and suppliers, depending on the circumstances. We hold patents or are the licensee of patented technology covering certain aspects of our sensor, coupler, and MRAM technology. These patent rights may be challenged, rendered unenforceable, invalidated or circumvented. In addition, rights granted under the patents or under licensing agreements may not provide a competitive advantage to us. Efforts to legally enforce patent rights can involve substantial expense and may not be successful. Further, others may independently develop similar or superior technologies or duplicate any technology developed by us, or our technology may prove to infringe upon patents or rights owned by others. Thus the patents held by or licensed to us may not afford us any meaningful competitive advantage. Also, our confidentiality agreements may not provide meaningful protection of our proprietary information. Our inability to maintain our proprietary rights could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

OUR BUSINESS SUCCESS MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF WE ARE UNABLE TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN HIGHLY-QUALIFIED MANAGEMENT AND TECHNICAL EMPLOYEES.

We have no employment agreements with any of our management other than our Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Baker, and have no key-person insurance covering employees. Competition for highly-qualified management and technical personnel is generally intense and we may not be able to attract and retain the personnel necessary for the development and operation of our business. The loss of the services of key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our Chief Technology Officer, Dr. Daughton, may decide to retire at any time in the next several years, and we may not be able to replace his technical or contract development expertise.

RISKS RELATED TO BUYING OUR STOCK

OUR STOCK MAY BE SUBJECT TO VOLATILITY BECAUSE IT IS NOT LISTED ON A NATIONAL MARKET.

Our common stock is traded on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market, which has less daily trading volume on average than the average trading market for companies quoted on the NASDAQ National Market or the New York Stock Exchange. A public trading market having the desired characteristics of depth, liquidity and orderliness depends on the presence in the marketplace of willing buyers and sellers of our common stock at any given time. This presence depends on the individual decisions of investors and general economic and market conditions over which we have no control.

THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY SIGNIFICANT PRICE FLUCTUATIONS DUE TO A NUMBER OF FACTORS, MANY OF WHICH ARE BEYOND OUR CONTROL.

The market price of our common stock has experienced significant fluctuations and may continue to fluctuate in the future. The market price of the common stock may be significantly affected by many factors, including:


* changes in requirements or demands for our products;

* the announcement of new products or product enhancements by us or our competitors;

* technological innovations by us or our competitors;

* quarterly variations in our or our competitors' operating results;

* changes in prices of our or our competitors' products and services;

* changes in our revenue and revenue growth rates;

* changes in earnings estimates by market analysts, speculation in the press or analyst community; and

* general market conditions or market conditions specific to particular industries.

The stock prices for many companies in the technology sector have experienced wide fluctuations that often have been unrelated to their operating performance. Such fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
