Leaders in optical and infrared solutions Market Business Drivers • Infrared Lens Business – Shift to Commercial Growth – Four Key Markets – 23% Shipment Growth • Automotive, Surveillance, Low - end thermography & IR Imaging in Smart Phones – Low Cost is the key – Molding is an Enabling Technology for Commercial Growth Opportunities NASDAQ: LPTH

Leaders in optical and infrared solutions IR M ARKET D RIVERS • Significant cuts in the US military budget – S equestration and reduction of military operations in theater have had a negative impact on the global military market and the need for IR imaging applications – US budget portion of the global market is approximately 80% • M ilitary market decline for uncooled IR imaging has created a shift toward the commercial sector faster than expected Yole Développement , Sept 2013

Leaders in optical and infrared solutions IR M ARKET D RIVERS – C ON ’ T • Technological improvements of uncooled sensors, processes and wafer - level packaging are key to steady price decline in infrared imaging and unit growth has not kept pace with pricing decreases • The trend toward smaller uncooled infrared sensors fits the need for lower - cost and lower - resolution devices because of both established and new consumer applications such as Personal Vision, Smartphones and IR ‘Occupancy ’ sensors • The Thermography sector’s growth is being driven by the ultra - low - end market which consists of low - resolution cameras for basic radiometric purposes • Sales growth of IR imaging security applications has been below expectations because this market took longer than expected to develop

Leaders in optical and infrared solutions IR M ARKET D RIVERS – C ON ’ T • Security camera sales are slowly increasing as consumers become used to the higher (than visible) IR camera pricing, and realize the benefits of thermal threat detection, as well as new competition in this market…..such as the introduction of affordable < $ 2,000 cameras initiated by DRS and followed by FLIR • Major manufacturers (such as DRS, FLIR, Raytheon, ULIS, GWIC) have now moved to 8” dia. wafer production lines instead of 6” dia. to reduce manufacturing costs

Leaders in optical and infrared solutions FPA Sensor Effect ULIS Micro 80P TM • FPA pixel size decreasing – 25µ - still in use but declining in sales – 17µ – present standard – 12µ – coming out shortly, may be practical limit on size for LWIR wavelength, although 10µ is being considered • Small formats are being introduced – FLIR Lepton – 80 X 60, 17µ (FLIR ONE ™) – ULIS Micro 80P TM – 80 X 80, 34 µ
