The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the interim period ended March 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003.

The consolidated financial statements include the financial transactions and accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2002 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires that management 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 may differ from those estimates.

Deferred income taxes are provided under the liability method and reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. The Company establishes valuation allowances when the realization of specific deferred tax assets are subject to significant uncertainty.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2003, the Company recorded no tax benefits on its operating loss, as the loss will have to be carried forward and realization of any benefit is uncertain. The offsetting current and deferred provision amounts result from additional deductions claimed on the Company's 2002 federal tax return which was filed during the quarter.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2002, U.S. losses were benefitted, as carryback benefits were available. No benefit was provided for foreign losses, thus the tax benefit rate was less than the U.S. statutory rate of 34%.

Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost (which approximates first-in, first-out) or market (replacement cost or net realizable value) and include (in thousands):

Inventories are presented net of reserves for excess and obsolete inventories of $294,000 and $280,000 at March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively.

All investments are classified as held to maturity or available-for-sale securities under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments in equity and debt securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such determinations at each balance sheet date.

Marketable equity securities are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at their fair value on the balance sheet, with unrealized gains and losses, net of applicable income taxes of $(8,000) and $(14,000) at March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively, reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Marketable equity securities are stated at market value, as determined by the most recently published trade price of the securities at the balance sheet date.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per share (in thousands, except per share data):

Options to purchase an average of 769,000 and 1,072,000 shares of common stock of the Company were excluded from the computation of the diluted loss income per share during the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, as inclusion of these options in the calculations would have been anti-dilutive.

The only difference between the total comprehensive loss and the net loss reported on the Consolidated Statements of Operations arises from unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities. The Company's total comprehensive loss (in thousands) for the periods indicated, is as follows:

The Company has a stock option plan that provides for the grant of options to employees and directors of the Company. The term and vesting of each option is determined by the Board of Directors. The Company accounts for stock options using the intrinsic value based method prescribed by APB 25. Had the Company elected to account for stock options using the fair value method described in SFAS No. 123, the Company's reported net loss would have increased to the amounts shown below:

The pro forma disclosures above are not necessarily indicative of the effects of applying SFAS 123 in future periods.

8.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT - REDUCTION IN WORKFORCE

Due to a continued lack of demand for the Company's testing products and power sources, the Company reduced its Houston-based workforce by 25% in April 2003. Severance costs of $234,000 were incurred and will be reported in the second fiscal quarter.

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

March 31, 2003

This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and other parts of this document contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, as well as current expectations and assumptions. From time to time, the Company may publish forward-looking statements, including those that are contained in this report, relating to such matters as anticipated financial performance, business prospects, technological developments, new products, research and development activities and similar matters. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. In order to comply with the terms of the safe harbor, the Company notes that a variety of factors could cause the Company's actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the Company's forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties that may affect the operations, p erformance, development and results of the Company's business include, but are not limited to, adverse changes in the global economy, sudden decreases in the demand for electronic products and semiconductors, market acceptance of the Company's products and services, the impact of competition, delays in product development schedules, delays due to technical difficulties related to developing and implementing technology, delays in delivery schedules, the ability to attract and maintain sufficient levels of people with specific technical talents, future results related to investments, and changes in demand for the Company's products and services and the Company's customers' products and services. All forward-looking statements included in this document are based on information available to the Company on the date hereof, and the Company assumes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.

The Company has defined a critical accounting policy as one that is both important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and results of operations and requires the management of the Company to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments. Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be perceived with certainty. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments. These estimates may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as the Company's operating environment changes. There have been no material changes or developments in our evaluation of the accounting estimates and the underlying assumptions or methodologies that we believe to be Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates as disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended Dece mber 31, 2002.

The Management's Discussion included in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 includes discussion of various factors related to the decline in the Company's revenues and items related to the Company's results of operations, liquidity and markets. There have been no significant changes in most of the factors discussed in the Form 10-K and many of the items discussed in the Form 10-K are relevant to 2003 operations; thus the reader of this document should read the Management's Discussion included in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

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

March 31, 2003

The primary sources of Reliability's liquidity have historically been cash provided by operations and working capital. As of March 31, 2003 the Company's working capital was $10.1 million, of which $5.4 million was cash and cash equivalents. Changes in the Company's financial condition and liquidity since December 31, 2002 are generally attributable to the net loss incurred in the quarter ended March 31, 2003.

Certain ratios and amounts monitored by management in evaluating the Company's financial resources and performance are presented in the following chart. The periods presented that are related to profitability ratios are for the three months ended March 31, and twelve months ended December 31:

Net cash used by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2003 was $1.4 million, compared with $1.5 million used by operations in the comparable quarter of 2002.

Net cash provided by investment activities during the first three months of 2003 was $742,000 compared to $163,000 used in investment activities during the comparable quarter of 2002. Net cash provided was primarily proceeds from the sale of the Company's property in Costa Rica.

During the recent and ongoing downturn of the semiconductor industry, the Company has sustained significant negative financial trends, including substantial decreases in revenues, net income, backlog, and cash flows from operating activities. Key customers have continued to delay or reduce expenditures for the Company's products and services. Management believes such trends may continue in the near term. Throughout this downturn, the Company has continued to restructure its operations and cost structure.

The Company's future strategy is primarily dependent on its ability to sell its newest generation of burn-in and test systems for medium and high power micrologic devices, the CRITERIA 20. As a result of the current and ongoing downturn of the semiconductor industry, target customers for the CRITERIA 20

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

have continued to delay capital expenditures for new capacity, and no sales have been made to date. While management believes that the first sales of the CRITERIA 20 will occur in late 2003, no assurances can be made that market demand will return or that market acceptance can be achieved in that time frame.

Considering the results of management's recent cost-cutting and restructuring actions, the Company's limited financial obligations, its current cash balances, and expected proceeds from the tax refund expected in the second quarter of 2003, management believes that it has sufficient cash to meet its working capital and capital equipment needs through fiscal 2003 and into 2004. Depending on the Company's growth, profitability and other factors, including market conditions, the Company may require additional capital resources after fiscal 2003. There can be no assurances that additional financing will be available when required or that such financing can be obtained on terms satisfactory to the Company.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues. Revenues in the first quarter of 2003, while 65% lower than the first quarter of 2002, were only 6% lower than the fourth quarter of 2002. Revenues in the Testing Products and Power Sources segments were down sequentially, while revenues in the Testing Services segment increased by $44,000, or 25% over the previous quarter.

Costs and Expenses. Total costs and expenses in the first quarter of 2003 decreased by $1,150,000 from the comparable quarter in 2002 and by $881,000 from the fourth quarter of 2002. Excluding provisions for asset impairment, restructuring and severance, the decrease from the first and fourth quarters of 2002 were $827,000 and $190,000, respectively. Expense reductions are largely the result of cost controls and restructuring actions taken by management to improve the Company's cost structure in response to the continuing economic slowdown.

Additionally, the Company reduced its Houston-based workforce by 25% in April 2003. Severance costs of $234,000 were incurred and will be reported in the second fiscal quarter.

Income Taxes. No tax benefit was recorded on the operating loss incurred in the quarter ended March 31, 2003, as no carryback benefits were available and realization of tax benefits in future periods is uncertain. In the prior year, the Company was able to offset its taxable loss against taxes paid in prior years and file a refund claim.

There have been no material changes in the market risk disclosures reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 2002.
