NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands, except share amounts)

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of Advanced Power Technology, Inc.’s (APT) interim results. The consolidated financial statements and notes in this Form 10-Q are presented as permitted by Regulation S-X, and as such, they do not contain certain information included in APT’s 2004 annual consolidated financial statements and notes. This Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with APT’s consolidated financial statements and notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. The financial information as of December 31, 2004 is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as filed with APT’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2005.

APT’s financial quarters are 13 week periods. The first quarter of 2005 ended on April 3, 2005 and the first quarter of 2004 ended on April 4, 2004. For convenience, the first quarters of 2005 and 2004 are both shown as ended on March 31.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Sales Returns and Allowances

The balances and changes in reserve for warranties and sales returns for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 are as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2005			2004

Balance – beginning of period	$	716		$	431
Provisions	790			319
Charge offs	(827		)	(437		)
Balance – end of period	$	679		$	313

(b) Stock-Based Compensation

APT has elected to continue to apply the prescribed accounting in Opinion 25 and provide the required disclosures per SFAS 123 and SFAS 148. APT accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123 and Emerging Issues Task Force consensus on Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees, for Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services.”

In December 2004, the FASB finalized SFAS No. 123R “Share Based Payment,” which will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The new standard will require us to expense stock based compensation. Under SFAS No. 123R, we must evaluate and determine the appropriate fair value model to be used for valuing share-based payments, the amortization method for compensation cost and the transition method to be used at the date of adoption. We are currently evaluating the provisions of FAS 123R and expect that the adoption on January 1, 2006 will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and earnings per share, as the stock based compensation expense will be charged directly against our reported earnings. We do not expect the accounting change to materially affect our liquidity as equity-based compensation is a non-cash expense.

Had APT determined compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant date for its stock options under SFAS 123, APT’s net income (loss) would have been the pro forma amounts indicated in the table below.

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2005			2004

Net income (loss), as reported	$	(6,340	)	$	283
Add: Stock based compensation included in reported net income (loss)	18			10
Deduct: Stock based compensation determined under fair value based method for all awards	(249		)	(222		)
Pro forma net income (loss)	$	(6,571	)	$	71

Income (loss) per share:
Basic – as reported	$	(0.59	)	$	0.03
Basic – pro forma	(0.61		)	0.01

Diluted – as reported	$	(0.59	)	$	0.03
Diluted – pro forma	(0.61		)	0.01

The effects of applying SFAS 123 in this pro forma disclosure are not indicative of future amounts and additional awards are anticipated in future years. The fair value of the compensation costs reflected in the above pro forma amounts was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the weighted average assumptions as follows:

	2005		2004

Risk-free interest rate	4.0	%	3.0	%
Expected dividend yield	0	%	0	%
Expected life	6.5 years		5 years
Volatility	82	%	100	%

(c) Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive potential common shares related to stock options and warrants outstanding during the period. Anti-dilutive potential common shares are excluded from the diluted net income share calculation. Dilutive net loss per share excludes all potential common shares from the calculation as the impact would be anti-dilutive.

Incremental dilutive shares included in the calculation of diluted net income per share and incremental anti-dilutive shares that were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 are summarized in the following table.

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2005	2004

Incremental dilutive shares included in diluted net income per share calculation	—	655,000
Anti-dilutive shares excluded from diluted net loss per share calculation	1,321,000	554,000

(d) Goodwill and Intangibles

APT values goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with SFAS 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” The costs of internally developed intangible assets are expensed as incurred. The costs of acquired intangible assets are recorded at fair value at acquisition. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, the majority of which was estimated at ten years, and evaluated for impairment in accordance with SFAS 144. Amortization of intangible assets was approximately $316 and $269 in the first three months of 2005 and 2004, respectively. Excluding the impact of any future acquisitions, amortization of technology rights will be $1,262 in 2005, $1,150 in 2006 and 2007, and $1,076 in 2008 and 2009.

(e) Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. During the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company determined that a full valuation allowance should be recorded against its net deferred tax assets. As of March 31, 2005, the Company still maintains a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets.

(f) Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year statement of cash flows to conform to current presentation. These changes had no impact on the previously reported balance sheet, results of operations, or shareholders’ equity. The reclassification related to certain auction rate securities which are now classified as short-term investments in available-for-sale securities and which had previously been classified as cash and cash equivalents. The amounts for such auction rate securities as of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 were $7,300 and $7,875, respectively.

Note 3. Acquisitions

On December 22, 2004 Advanced Power Technology, Inc. (APT) entered into a definitive agreement and plan of merger with PowerSicel, Inc. The acquisition was completed on January 7, 2005 and the company was re-named to Advanced Power Technology Colorado.

Under the terms of the agreement, APT paid approximately $5.4 million in cash from operations in exchange for all of the existing shares of PowerSicel, issued 63,525 APT stock options in exchange for the

PowerSicel stock options and issued 19,402 APT stock options for the retention of key employees. PowerSicel Inc. was determined to be a development stage company, in accordance with EITF 98-3 “Determining Whether a Nonmonetary Transaction Involves Receipt of Productive Assets or of a Business.” Therefore, the transaction was considered a purchase of tangible and intangible assets, which were accounted for in accordance with SFAS 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” APT obtained a third party valuation study to estimate the fair value of the acquired intangible assets. APT began to consolidate the financial results of PowerSicel on January 7, 2005. The purchase price for accounting purposes was derived as follows:

	Shares	Fair Value
Cash paid at closing		$	5,387
Exchanged options	63,525	458
Retention options	19,402	112
Direct costs		113
Total purchase price		$	6,070

All vested and unvested PowerSicel options exchanged for APT options and retention options issued by APT are included as part of the purchase price based on their fair value. The estimated fair value of the options is based upon the Black-Scholes model using the following assumptions:

	Exchanged Options		Retention Options
Expected life	3.0 years		6.25 years
Expected volatility	69	%	82	%
Risk-free interest rate	3.4	%	4.0	%
Expected dividend yield	0.0	%	0.0	%

PowerSicel’s expertise in silicon carbide and other compound semiconductor technology and products complement APT’s current portfolio of RF products which operate at frequencies ranging from 1 MHz to 4 GHz and are sold into applications such as semiconductor capital equipment, medical imaging, radar, avionics and wireless communications. The acquisition adds valuable development capability to APT’s core capability in discrete and RF power transistors allowing APT to better serve its current markets and to expand into new markets.

The allocation of purchase price was as follows:

Working capital	$	430
Property and equipment	344
Deferred compensation on unvested stock options assumed	66
Acquired in-process research and development	4,896
Acquired intangible assets	334
Allocated purchase price	$	6,070

In connection with this acquisition, the APT recorded a charge of $4,896 for the write-off of in-process research and development (IPR&D). The value assigned to IPR&D related to research projects for which technological feasibility had not yet been established and for which there was no other feasible alternative use for the technology. In addition, APT recorded intangible assets of $223 and $111 for PowerSicel’s assembled workforce and for certain employment contracts of key PowerSicel executives, respectively. The assembled workforce intangible asset will be amortized over three years and the employment contracts intangible asset will be amortized over one year, reflecting the expected life of the assets. The IPR&D and intangible asset amounts are not deductible for tax purposes.

The value of IPR&D was determined by estimating the net cash flows from the sale of products with silicon carbide technology and discounting the net cash flows back to their present value using a risk adjusted interest rate of

30%. The estimated net cash flows were based on management’s estimates of related revenues, costs of goods sold, operating expenses, income taxes, and additional costs to completion for the in-process technology.

The value of the assembled workforce was determined by estimating the cost to independently recruit, hire, and train the acquired PowerSicel workforce. The value of the employment contracts was determined by calculating the difference between estimated net cash flows with and without the employment contracts over a two year period. The net cash flows were discounted back to their present value using a risk adjusted interest rate of 23%.

The nature of the efforts to develop the in-process technology into commercially viable products principally relate to the completion of all designing, prototyping, verification and testing activities that are necessary to establish that the product can be produced to meet its design specifications, including function, features, and technical performance requirements. PowerSicel had one main product group under development at the acquisition date that met the minimum development requirements for IPR&D projects. The project included the commercialization of silicon carbide transistors. The project was approximately 80% complete at the time of the acquisition and was expected to be complete within nine to twelve months. The estimated aggregate cost to complete the project was $260.

Pro forma results of operations have not been presented for this acquisition because the effects were not material on an individual or aggregate basis.

Note 4. Restructuring Charges

Restructuring costs are accounted for in accordance with SFAS 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” A liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity is recognized and measured at fair value in the period the liability is incurred, except for liabilities related to ongoing service requirements which are recognized over the service period. All other restructuring charges are directly expensed in the period they are paid.

As part of management’s cost reduction efforts, the Company announced in November of 2003 restructuring actions intended to improve manufacturing efficiencies and lower administrative costs. The actions include consolidation of certain administrative functions, rationalization of internal and external assembly and test manufacturing, and the reduction of rent expense through the purchase and resale of one of the two buildings currently occupied by the Company’s Santa Clara, California subsidiary. These announced actions were in addition to previously disclosed plans to consolidate the Company’s wafer fabrication plant in Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania to Bend, Oregon. Total restructuring related charges recognized in 2004 were $558, of which $206, $115, $38 and $199 were recognized in the first, second, third and fourth quarters of 2004, respectively.

The total severance related charge recognized in 2004 was $103, which was recognized as $65 and $38 in the first and second quarters of 2004, respectively. The severance charge related to already separated personnel and personnel costs associated with benefits expected to be paid upon completion of certain eligible transfer activities. Additional restructuring costs of $375 associated with costs to exit certain production activities were also recognized in 2004, of which $141, $77, $38, and $119 were recognized in the first, second, third and fourth quarters of 2004, respectively. The charges relate to accelerated depreciation on certain production related equipment to be abandoned after shutdown and contractual closing costs.

The building purchase is reported as an asset held for sale and is being marketed for sale as APT no longer requires the space. In accordance with SFAS 144, an asset held for sale is carried at net estimated fair value. As such, APT recorded an impairment charge for the building in the fourth quarter of 2004 and 2003 of approximately $80 and $350, respectively. Fair value was estimated based on comparable sales data of similar commercial space in the area. The net carrying value of the building as of March 31, 2005 was approximately $930 and is included as a component of other current assets.

During the first quarter of 2005 an additional $45 was recognized in restructuring charges. The charges were associated with additional severance costs. The changes in the reserve for restructuring balance for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 are shown in the table below. Certain of the restructuring charges were expensed as incurred and therefore are not included in the provision.

	Three Months Ended March 31,

Note 7. Segment Information

APT operates in one segment and is engaged in the manufacture and marketing of high-performance power semiconductors and modules for switching and RF applications. Overall, our revenue by geographic area for the first quarter of 2005 was 61.7% in North America, 21.4% in Europe and 16.9% in Asia, compared to 65.4% in North America, 14.5% in Europe, and 20.1% in Asia during the first quarter of 2004. We allocated revenue geographically based on the location to which we ship our products.

Note 8. Line of Credit

On March 31, 2005, we obtained a $10 million revolving line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank. We currently do not have any advances under this line of credit. The Company paid commitment fees of 20 basis points upon closing and will pay 20 basis points per year on the unused portion of the line of credit, payable quarterly.

Amounts borrowed under the credit agreement are secured by certain tangible and intangible assets of the Company. The credit agreement expires on June 30, 2006, at which time all amounts borrowed and related interest are immediately payable if the agreement is not renewed.

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time the Company is involved in various legal matters that arise out of the ordinary conduct of our business, including those related to litigation over intellectual property rights, commercial transactions, contracts, product liability, environmental, safety and health, and employment matters. The Company is not currently involved in any legal proceedings. The Company accrues loss contingencies in connection with its litigation when it is probable that a loss has occurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This discussion and analysis is intended to be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Forward-looking Statements and Risk Factors Affecting Business and Results of Operations

All statements and trend analyses contained in this item and elsewhere in this report on Form 10-Q relative to the future constitute “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-statements are subject to the business and economic risks faced by us and our actual results of operations may differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, results of operations for the periods discussed below should not be considered indicative of the results to be expected in any future period and fluctuations in operating results might result in fluctuations in the market price of our common stock. Our quarterly and annual operating results may vary significantly depending on many factors, including but not limited to the ability of subcontractors and key vendors to meet their delivery commitments; unfavorable changes in industry and competitive conditions; our mix of product shipments; the accuracy of our customers’ forecasts; the effectiveness of our efforts to control and reduce costs; and other risks detailed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Risk Factors Affecting Business and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Business Overview

We are a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of high-performance RF and switching power semiconductors. We are primarily focused on the high-power, high-speed segment of the power semiconductor market. Power semiconductors function as power amplifiers and power switches. They increase system efficiency and reliability by precisely managing and regulating electricity and converting it into the form required by electrical and electronic products. Our products permit the design of more compact end products and improve system features and functionality. Our products are found in diverse applications, such as F-22 fighter cockpits, the Boeing 777 back-up power system, the International Space Station, air traffic control radar systems, semiconductor capital equipment, MRI systems, arc welding equipment, industrial lasers, solar power panels and wireless communications base stations.

Power semiconductors generally dissipate more than one watt of power and have a broad range of frequency capabilities. We primarily focus on high-power, high-speed devices that dissipate at least several hundred watts of power and require operating frequencies greater than 20 kHz, or 20,000 cycles per second (e.g., the product may switch on and off up to 20,000 times per second).

Certain markets we serve, such as the semiconductor capital equipment and communications and data processing markets, have historically been quite cyclical. During periods of contraction in the these cyclical markets, we have experienced downward pressure on our revenues and gross margins. We have attempted to reduce this

volatility through acquisitions and product development in less cyclical markets, such as the military aerospace and medical equipment markets, and by rigorously managing our expenses through increased offshore production.

We sell our products in North America, Europe, and Asia primarily pursuant to customer purchase orders. We sell through a network of independent sales representatives and distributors. We recognize revenue upon shipment of our products. We have operations in Bend, Oregon, Santa Clara, California, Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania, Boulder, Colorado, and Bordeaux, France. We also make use of subcontract manufacturers for the fabrication of our wafers and for assembly and test operations. Our locations are more fully described in “Business—Properties” in our 2004 Form 10-K.

In 2002, we acquired GHz Technology and the product lines and certain assets of Microsemi RF Products to help us further penetrate the markets for RF devices. We believe that these acquisitions have positioned us as a leading supplier in bipolar RF power transistors and added substantial RF technology, engineering, manufacturing and marketing capabilities.

In September 2004 and January 2005, we acquired the assets of two development stage businesses. In September 2004, we paid $175 in cash from operations for the assets of Zeus Semiconductor, Inc., including prototype inventories, equipment, patents, and other intellectual property. In January 2005, we acquired PowerSicel, Inc. for approximately $5.4 million, from existing cash and marketable securities, in exchange for all of the existing shares of PowerSicel, 63,525 APT stock options in exchange for the PowerSicel stock options and 19,402 APT stock options for the retention of key employees. PowerSicel’s and Zeus Semiconductor’s combined expertise in silicon carbide and other compound semiconductor technology and products complement APT’s current portfolio of RF products which operate at frequencies ranging from 1 MHz to 4 GHz and are sold into applications such as semiconductor capital equipment, medical imaging, radar, avionics and wireless communications. We believe these acquisitions add valuable development capability to APT’s core capability in RF power transistors allowing APT to better serve its current markets and to expand into new markets.

As a result of the prior acquisitions made, we recorded acquisition related charges for amortization of intangible assets and deferred compensation amortization of $1,098 in 2004, of which $1,086 was included in cost of goods sold and $12 in operating expenses. In 2004, we acquired the assets, including prototype inventories, equipment, patents, and other intellectual property from a development stage business, Zeus Semiconductor, Inc. As a result of this transaction, during the third quarter of 2004 we recorded acquisition related charges for purchased IPR&D of $170. Also recorded in 2004 was $558 of restructuring related charges included in operating expenses. These charges included severance related to downsizing and organizational changes we began in 2003. The charges also include an additional impairment charge on the administrative building we purchased in 2003, as well as costs to exit certain production activities. The latter charges relate to accelerated depreciation on certain production related equipment to be abandoned after shutdown and contractual closing costs. During the third and fourth quarters of 2004 we also incurred $225 of charges in connection with the filing and subsequent withdrawal of a registration statement. The total amount of these items net of taxes was $2,028. The total charges by quarter were pre-tax $486, $395, $658, $512 and after tax $486, $395, $645, $502, in the first, second, third, and fourth quarters, respectively.

In 2005, we recorded acquisition related charges for amortization of intangible assets and deferred compensation amortization of $325, of which $269 was included in cost of goods sold and $56 in operating expenses. In connection with our January 2005 acquisition of PowerSicel, Inc., we recorded in-process research and development charges of $4,896. Also recorded in 2005 was $45 of restructuring related charges included in operating expenses. These charges were associated with additional severance related to downsizing and organizational changes we began in 2003. The total charges for the first quarter 2005 pre-tax and after tax were $5,266 and $5,259, respectively.

Our Markets

We operate on a worldwide basis. As such, our operations are affected by global, regional and industry-specific economic and political factors. Overall, our revenue by geographic area for the first quarter of 2005 was 61.7% in North America, 21.4% in Europe and 16.9% in Asia, compared to 65.4% in North America, 14.5% in Europe, and 20.1% in Asia during the first quarter of 2004. We allocate revenue geographically based on the location to which we ship our

products. The markets for our products are diversified, and include military and aerospace, semiconductor capital equipment, medical and industrial, and communications and data processing.

We believe demand is being driven by the emergence of new applications for higher power, higher frequency semiconductors that more precisely manage power, and also by the need to increase performance and improve power quality for existing applications. We believe demand is also being driven by the need for more efficient energy use resulting from rising energy costs, government mandates and environmental concerns.

Business Strategies

Our goal is to be the world leader in providing high-performance power semiconductors for high-power, high-speed applications. To achieve our goal, we intend to:

• Increase our penetration of core markets and customers and expand globally;

• Continue to develop and commercialize leading-edge technology for new and existing applications;

• Capitalize on and expand our RF expertise;

• Continue to optimize manufacturing operations, including the use of foundries and offshore production; and

• Seek to enhance growth through selective acquisitions

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to product returns and warranty obligations, allowance for doubtful accounts, excess and obsolete inventories, income taxes, valuation of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives, valuation of long-lived assets, and contingencies and litigation. We base our 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 about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the timing of revenue recognition that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe the following critical accounting policies involve more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition, Sales Allowances, Returns and Warranty Obligations

We recognize revenue when products are shipped and the customer takes ownership and assumes risk of loss, collection of the relevant receivable is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, and the sales price is fixed or determinable. In general, we provide for a one-year repair or replacement warranty on our products. We use independent distributors to sell some of our products. Our distributors have certain stock rotation rights which allow them to rotate up to 5% of their products every six months in exchange for an order of an equal amount of new product. In addition, we may on a case-by-case basis grant to distributors certain price protections and allowances. Upon shipment, we record an allowance for the estimated cost that may be incurred for product warranty and sales returns based on historical experience and any contractual requirements with our distributors.

While we engage in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of our component suppliers, our warranty obligation is affected by product non-conformance rates, material usage and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product non-conformance. Should actual

product non-conformance rates, material usage, service delivery costs, or distributor returns differ from our estimates, revisions to the estimated revenue provision would be required.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We regularly review the adequacy of the allowance after considering the size of the accounts receivable balance, historical bad debts, the customer’s expected ability to pay and our collection history with each customer. We review significant individual accounts that are past due to determine whether an allowance should be made based on these factors. 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.

Excess and Obsolete Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost (approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis) or market (net realizable value). We adjust inventory costs for estimated unmarketable (excess) or obsolete inventory to estimated net realizable value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. We establish reserves for excess component order cancellation costs based on estimated net realizable value of the components purchased and any additional cancellation charges. We evaluate historical usage of the product, current customer demand, purchase commitments and forecasted usage of the product. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional adjustments or reserves may be required.

Income Taxes

We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. We consider future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance. In the event we were to determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of our net recorded amount, an adjustment to decrease the valuation allowance would increase income in the period such determination was made. Should we determine that we would not be able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax asset in the future, an adjustment to increase the valuation allowance would be charged to income in the period such determination was made. As of March 31, 2005, we had a full valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets.

Valuation of Goodwill and Intangible Assets with Indefinite Lives

We value goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. (SFAS) 142 ‘‘Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.’’ Currently we carry a goodwill balance in connection with previous acquisitions, but have no other intangible assets with indefinite lives. We annually review goodwill for impairment and when events or circumstances indicate the carrying value of the asset might exceed its current fair value. We determine fair value using discounted cash flow analysis and other acceptable valuation methodologies such as market multiples and comparable transactions. This requires us to make assumptions and estimates regarding industry economic factors and future profitability. It is our policy to conduct impairment testing based on our most current business plans, which reflect changes we anticipate in the economy and industry. If actual results are not consistent with our assumptions and judgments, we could be exposed to a material impairment charge as a result of writing down the carrying value of goodwill.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets

We value long-lived assets, including intangible assets with finite lives, in accordance with SFAS 144 ‘‘Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.’’ We evaluate our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. We determine the potential impairment using undiscounted cash flow analysis, which requires us to make certain assumptions and estimates regarding industry economic factors and future profitability. It is our policy to conduct impairment testing based on our most current business plans, which reflect changes we anticipate in the economy and industry. If actual results are not consistent with our assumptions and judgments, we could be exposed to a material

impairment charge as a result of writing down the carrying value of long-lived assets. If the asset group is determined to be unable to recover the carrying amount of its assets, then intangible assets are written down first, followed by the other long-lived assets of the operation, to fair value. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the assets. Long-lived assets considered held for sale are valued at the lower of historical cost or fair value less costs to sell. Such assets are not depreciated while so classified.

Contingencies and Litigation

We are subject to the possibility of various loss contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. We consider the likelihood of loss or impairment of an asset or the incurrence of a liability, as well as our ability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss in determining loss contingencies. An estimated loss contingency is accrued when it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We regularly evaluate current information available to us to determine whether such accruals should be adjusted.

Revenue. Revenue for the first quarter of 2005 was $14.1 million, down 6.4% from $15.1 million in the first quarter of 2004 and sequentially down 11.8% from $16.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2004, with both decreases primarily attributable to lower volume shipments.

The 6.4% decline in revenue over the prior year quarter was primarily due to a 64.0% decline in revenue in the semiconductor capital equipment market, partially offset by a 19.9% increase in revenue in our industrial/medical market and a 32.1% increase in our military/aerospace market. The decline in revenue in the semiconductor capital equipment market is due to both reduced end market demand and an inventory correction underway at our customers. We believe that the inventory correction underway at our customers is substantially complete and that we will return to sequential revenue growth in this market in the second quarter of 2005.

The 11.8% sequential decline in revenue was primarily due to a 22.4% decline in revenue in the semiconductor capital market, a 22.8% decline in the military/aerospace market, a 11.9% decline in the industrial/medial market, partially offset by a 10.1% increase in the communications and data processing market. The decline in the military/aerospace market was expected as we completed a large radar order and shipped $2.8 million of product in the fourth quarter of 2004. We expect to see revenue growth in this market in the second half of 2005 primarily due to new design wins moving into production. The decline in the industrial/medical market was due to an inventory correction taking place at one of our key customers serving this market. We believe this correction will be complete by mid 2005. Our revenue in the communication and data processing market benefited from stable Asia telecommunications demand and shipments related to a large server program on business we won from a competitor.

Overall, our revenue by geographic area for the first quarter of 2005 was 61.7% in North America, 21.4% in Europe and 16.9% in Asia, compared to 65.4% in North America, 14.5% in Europe, and 20.1% in Asia during the first quarter of 2004. Revenues of our higher margin RF products were 47.1% in the first quarter of 2005 compared to 49.1% in the first quarter of 2004.

Gross Profit. Gross profit for the first quarter of 2005 was 26.6% compared to 36.1% in first and fourth quarters of 2004. Excluding acquisition related non-cash amortization of the technology assets acquired, gross profit was 28.5% in the first quarter of 2005 compared to 37.9% in the first quarter of 2004 and 37.8% in the fourth quarter of 2004. The decline in gross profit margin over the prior year quarter and sequentially is due to reduced fixed cost absorption on lower production volumes, lower manufacturing yields, higher product returns, and a less favorable product mix on lower RF and semiconductor capital equipment related revenue. Our return provision as a percentage of total revenues increased to 5.3% in the first quarter of 2005 from 2.1% in the first quarter of 2004, contributing approximately $480,000 to the overall decline in gross margin. The higher returns were the result of two specific customer quality related product returns, which we believe have now been resolved. The gross margin deterioration was also attributable to abnormally low wafer manufacturing yields on certain products made in the quarter and lower factory fixed absorption at our Bend, Oregon facility. The yield issues were identified in the quarter, but not until after production losses of approximately $200,000 were incurred. The main cause of the yield losses incurred has since been resolved. In addition, as the Company experienced sequential revenue declines in both the fourth quarter of 2004 and first quarter of 2005, we took actions to limit inventory build up by lowering orders from vendors and lowering production levels. While this helped the Company to lower overall inventory by $1.2 million from the fourth quarter of 2004 to the first quarter of 2005 even while our revenues declined by $1.9 million, the lower production had a negative impact on our margins. We expect to be impacted by the lower production levels into the second quarter of 2005, but not to the same degree as the first quarter of 2005.

Research and Development Expense. Our research and development expenses were $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2005 compared to $887,000 in the first quarter of 2004 and $1.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2004, or approximately 8.3%, 5.9%, and 7.7% of revenues, respectively. The increase in research and development spending over the prior year quarter is due to increased payroll expense for additional personnel dedicated to research and development activities and higher spending on supplies and materials. The increase in the percentage of revenue in the first quarter of 2005 over the prior year quarter is primarily due to our higher spending levels in 2005. The sequential increase in the percentage of revenue is primarily due to lower revenue levels in the first quarter of 2005. The Company plans to continue its research and development programs leading to the introduction of new products for use in both switching and RF applications. Therefore, we expect the level of research and development expenses to be approximately 7.5% over sustained periods of time.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $4.0 million in the first quarter of 2005 compared to $4.1 million in the first quarter of 2004, and $3.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2004, or approximately 28.0%, 27.2%, and 23.5% of revenues, respectively. Excluding commissions, which vary with revenue, and legal fees associated with a settled patent litigation matter, our selling, general, and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2005, first quarter of 2004, and fourth quarter of 2004 would have been approximately $3.3 million, $2.9 million and $3.1 million, respectively. The increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses over the prior year quarter is primary due to higher accounting fees associated with Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, costs associated with our new office in Shenzen China, and additional selling, general, and administrative expenses from our

first quarter acquisition of PowerSicel, Inc. The sequential increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses is primary due to our first quarter acquisition of PowerSicel, Inc.

Restructuring Activities: As part of management’s cost reduction efforts, the Company announced in November of 2003 restructuring actions intended to improve manufacturing efficiencies and lower administrative costs. The actions include consolidation of certain administrative functions, rationalization of internal and external assembly and test manufacturing, and the reduction of rent expense through the purchase and resale of one of the two buildings currently occupied by the Company’s Santa Clara, California subsidiary. These announced actions were in addition to previously disclosed plans to consolidate the Company’s wafer fabrication plant in Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania to Bend, Oregon. Total restructuring related charges recognized in 2004 were $558,000, of which $206,000, $115,000, $38,000 and $199,000 were recognized in the first, second, third and fourth quarters of 2004, respectively.

The total severance related charge recognized in 2004 was $103,000, which was recognized as $65,000 and $38,000 in the first and second quarters of 2004, respectively. The severance charge related to already separated personnel and personnel costs associated with benefits expected to be paid upon completion of certain eligible transfer activities. Additional restructuring costs of $375,000 associated with costs to exit certain production activities were also recognized in 2004, of which $141,000, $77,000, $38,000, and $119,000 were recognized in the first, second, third and fourth quarters of 2004, respectively. The charges relate to accelerated depreciation on certain production related equipment to be abandoned after shutdown and contractual closing costs.

The building purchase is reported as an asset held for sale and is being marketed for sale as APT no longer requires the space. In accordance with SFAS 144, an asset held for sale is carried at net estimated fair value. As such, APT recorded an impairment charge for the building in the fourth quarter of 2004 and 2003 of approximately $80,000 and $350,000, respectively. Fair value was estimated based on comparable sales data of similar commercial space in the area. The net carrying value of the building as of March 31, 2005 was approximately $930,000 and is included as a component of other current assets.

During the first quarter of 2005 an additional $45,000 was recognized in restructuring charges. The charges were associated with additional severance costs.

Interest income and other expense, net. Interest income and other expense, net, which includes interest income, interest expense and other expense, was a net income of $4,000 in the first quarter of 2005 compared to a net income of $34,000 in the first quarter of 2004. Net interest income was $55,000 in the first quarter of 2005 compared to $40,000 in the first quarter of 2004. Net other expense of $51,000 and $6,000 in the first quarter of 2005 and 2004, respectively, primarily included foreign exchange losses associated with the operations of our subsidiary in Bordeaux, France.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit). During the first quarter of 2005, the Company recorded a tax expense of $30,000. Although the Company had a consolidated net loss, we recorded tax expense for certain state income taxes owed. In the first quarter of 2004, the Company recorded no tax expense on the $283,000 of income before taxes. The Company recorded a full valuation allowance against its remaining net deferred tax assets in the fourth quarter of 2003. In assessing the valuation of deferred tax assets, SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes,” requires a more likely than not standard. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on the generation of future domestic taxable income during the periods in which the associated temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Although the Company anticipates future long term profitability, SFAS No. 109 requires that recent historical operating performance weigh more heavily in assessing the valuation of deferred tax assets. The more likely than not assessment was principally based upon the losses generated during 2002, 2003, and the first quarter of 2005 and the cyclical nature of the industry which make projections of industry trends difficult. While the Company has sufficient net operating loss carry-forwards (NOL’s) to offset federal taxable income for regular tax purposes, the Company’s use of its NOL’s for alternative minimum tax (AMT) purposes are limited to 90% of its AMT income (AMTI). Therefore, the Company expects to pay AMT of approximately 20% on the remaining AMTI, resulting in an approximate effective tax rate of 2% on domestic taxable income. However, at such time the Company is able to

determine if it is more likely than not that it will be able to utilize its net operating losses, the reserve against the net deferred tax asset would be reversed.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Management assesses the Company’s liquidity in terms of its ability to generate cash to fund its operating, investing, and financing activities. Significant factors affecting the management of liquidity are: cash flows from operating activities, capital expenditures, investments in businesses, and access to bank credit when required and at reasonable rates.

Operating Cash Flows: In the first three months of 2005, we generated approximately $1.2 million from operating activities. This resulted from our net loss of $6.3 million offset by $1.3 million of non-cash charges for depreciation, amortization, and provisions, $4.9 million for in-process research and development charges, and $1.3 million for reduced working capital requirements. The lower working capital requirements reflected lower accounts receivable, inventory, and payables on lower revenue.

Investing Cash Flows: In the first three months of 2005, we used $3.9 million in investing activities which primarily consisted of our acquisition of PowerSicel, Inc., partially offset by net proceeds from the sale and purchase of marketable securities of $1.6 million. The acquisition of PowerSicel consumed approximately $5.0 million of cash and direct costs during the period, net of $460,000 cash acquired. In addition, we issued APT stock options valued at $570,000. We also purchased $492,000 of property, plant, and equipment during the period.

Financing Cash Flows: In the first three months of 2005, we generated approximately $21,000 from financing activities, which primarily consisted of proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

As of March 31, 2005, APT had $30.5 million in working capital. Our trade accounts receivable balance was $8.6 million reflecting a days sales outstanding ratio of 60 days, compared to trade accounts receivable of $10.0 million at December 31, 2004, reflecting a days sales outstanding ratio of 60 days. We expect our days sales outstanding ratio to range from 50 to 60 days, depending on the geographic mix of our revenue. Our inventory balance at March 31, 2005 was $13.4 million reflecting inventory turns of 3.0 times per year, compared to an inventory balance of $14.6 million at December 31, 2004, reflecting inventory turns of 3.0 times per year. The Company continues to monitor inventory levels and take action to improve inventory turns. The calculations above are based on quarterly average balances of trade accounts receivable and inventory.

On March 31, 2005, we entered into a loan and security agreement with Silicon Valley Bank. The agreement is for a $10 million revolving line of credit that bears interest, at the election of the Company, at either the Silicon Valley Bank prime rate plus a margin or the LIBOR rate plus a margin. The margin for either rate is dependent on the adjusted quick ratio of the Company as defined in the agreement. The Company paid commitment fees of 20 basis points upon closing and will pay 20 basis points per year on the unused portion of the line of credit, payable quarterly. Amounts borrowed under the credit agreement are secured by certain tangible and intangible assets of the Company. The credit agreement expires on June 30, 2006, at which time all amounts borrowed and related interest are immediately payable if the agreement is not renewed.

We currently expect to fund our capital expenditures and liquidity needs primarily from a combination of available cash balances and internally generated funds. We also have a line of credit for $10 million with Silicon Valley Bank. As of March 31, 2005, APT had $12.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale securities. APT’s investment policy is to invest in short term, high-grade liquid investments with the goal of capital preservation. APT’s ability to generate positive cash flow from operations may be affected by market conditions as well as other risk factors as described below. We expect from time to time to evaluate potential acquisitions and equity investments complementary to our market strategy. To the extent we pursue such transactions, we could require additional equity or debt financing to fund such activities or to fund our working capital requirements in the event of an industry downturn or an unexpected adverse change in our business operations. To the extent we require additional capital we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain such financing on terms favorable to us, or at all.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements & Commitments

As of March 31, 2005 the Company did not have any unconsolidated entities or off balance sheet financial arrangements, guarantees or similar commitments with such entities. As of March 31, 2005 the open value of purchase order commitments was $13.9 million compared to $12.1 million at December 31, 2004. This represents the amounts committed per open purchase orders with third parties. The increase over the December 31, 2004 balance is primarily due to higher material and subcontractor commitments after reducing our purchasing needs in the fourth quarter of 2004 to limit inventory build up, as explained in the Gross Profit section above. The Company did not enter or terminate any lease agreements during the quarter.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

We do not use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. Due to the short duration and conservative nature of our cash equivalents, and the high quality and conservative nature of our long-term investments, we do not expect any material loss with respect to our investment portfolio.

Currently less than 2% of our sales are transacted in local currencies, primarily Euros. As a result, our international results of operations have limited exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations. We do not currently hedge against foreign currency rate fluctuations. Most of our export sales and sales by APT Europe are in U.S. dollars, and most of our foreign currency sales are from operations with significant expenses in the same currency. As a result, gains and losses from such fluctuations have not been material to our consolidated results of operations.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by new Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the first quarter of 2005 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
