Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements of FLIR Systems, Inc. (the "Company") are unaudited and have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, these statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and results of operations for the interim periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1999. The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of FLIR Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The results of the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year. The Company's consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 and as of March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999 have been restated. In addition, certain reclassifications, which had no impact on previously reported results of operations or shareholders' equity, have been made to previously reported data. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the restatements and reclassifications. Note 2. Net Earnings Per Share Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the periods, computed using the treasury stock method for stock options.

The Company has no intention of liquidating the assets of the foreign subsidiaries in the foreseeable future. 7 FLIR SYSTEMS, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) (Unaudited) Note 5. Litigation Beginning on or about March 13, 2000, five complaints alleging violations of the federal securities laws have been filed against the Company and against J. Kenneth Stringer III and J. Mark Samper in the United States District Court for the District of Oregon; one of the complaints also names Robert P. Daltry as a defendant. Each complaint has been filed as a purported class action by individuals who allege that they purchased the Company's Common Stock during the purported class periods, which vary but extend from March 3, 1999 at the earliest to March 6, 2000 at the latest. The complaints allege that the defendants violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated hereunder by intentionally issuing false and/or misleading statements regarding the Company's financial results in the Company's SEC filings and in press releases and other public statements. The complaints do not specify the amount of damages that plaintiffs seek. On May 25, 2000, the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon issued an order consolidating the complaints into one action for all purposes. Plaintiffs were ordered to file a consolidated complaint within 60 days of the date of the Court's consolidation order. The Company intends to contest the litigation vigorously. The Company was involved in other litigation, investigations of a routine nature and various legal matters during the first quarter of 2000 that are being defended and handled in the ordinary course of business. While the ultimate results of the matters described above cannot presently be determined, management does not expect that they will have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or financial position. Therefore, no adjustments have been made to the accompanying financial statements relative to these matters. Note 6. Inframetrics Merger In conjunction with the merger with Inframetrics, Inc., on March 31, 1999, the Company recognized a one-time charge of $23.8 million consisting of a reserve for duplicative inventories of $20.1 million, transaction related costs of $3.2 million and cost to exit activities of $0.5 million. During the course of 1999, the Company recorded additional costs related to the merger including an increase to the reserve for duplicative inventories of $5.2 million, an increase of costs to exit activities of $5.6 million and $1.2 million related to the write-off of certain assets related to the merger. 8 FLIR SYSTEMS, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) (Unaudited) Note 6. Inframetrics Merger--(Continued) The inventory reserve relates to duplicative product lines created by the merger and was included in cost of goods sold. As of March 31, 2000 the Company had written-off and disposed of inventories totaling $18.3 million. The transaction related costs consisted of investment advisor fees, legal and accounting fees and other direct transaction costs. Such costs were included in combination costs, a separate line item in operating expenses. The cost to exit activities amount relates to estimated shut down costs related to duplicative sales offices in the United Kingdom, Germany and France. As of March 31, 2000 the Company has remaining accruals of $0.4 million related to the transaction costs and cost to exit activities. Consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1999 of the Company and Inframetrics on a stand-alone basis, excluding one time charges for duplicative inventories created as a result of overlapping product lines, reserve for shutdown of duplicate sales offices and other direct transaction costs are as follows (in thousands):

Note 7. Segment Information The Company has determined its operating segments to be the Thermography and Imaging market segments. The Thermography market is comprised of a broad range of commercial and industrial applications utilizing infrared cameras to provide precise temperature measurement. The Imaging market is comprised of a broad range of applications that is focused on providing enhanced vision capabilities where temperature measurement is not required, although differences in temperatures are used to create an image. The Imaging market also includes high performance daylight imaging applications. The accounting policies of each segment are the same. The Company evaluates performance based upon net revenue for each segment and does not evaluate segment performance on any other income measurement. Previously, the Company reported its operating segments to be the commercial and government market segments. The information below for 1999 and 2000 has been reclassified to be consistent with the reporting for these market segments. 9 FLIR SYSTEMS, INC.

Note 8. Restatements and Reclassifications In March 2001, the Company determined that it was necessary to restate its 1999 consolidated financial statements and its interim 2000 and 1999 consolidated financial statements. The restatements were effected after the Company determined, based on a review of the specific terms and conditions underlying certain sales transactions recorded in 1999 and 1998, that revenue was recognized with respect to such transactions during periods or in amounts that were not consistent with the Company's revenue recognition policy. Accordingly, the restatements include the deferral of revenue from the reporting period in which the revenue was originally recorded to the reporting period in which the revenue would be properly recorded under the Company's revenue recognition policy. The related cost of sales and certain operating costs have also been restated as appropriate. In addition, reclassifications have been made to the consolidated statement of operations for the reporting of representative commissions incurred by the Company. These commissions, which were previously recorded as a portion of selling and other operating costs, have been reclassified as a reduction of revenue. The reclassifications had no impact on net earnings for the periods presented. The financial statements and related notes set forth in this Form 10-Q/A for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, as of March 31, 2000 and 1999, and as of December 31, 1999 reflect all such restatements. 10 FLIR SYSTEMS, INC.

13 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations (2000 and 1999 amounts have been restated as discussed in Note 8 of the Consolidated Financial Statements): Revenue. The Company's revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2000 decreased 6.0 percent, from $39.0 million in the first quarter of 1999 to $36.7 million in the first quarter of 2000. Thermography revenue increased 3.0 percent, from $20.9 million in the first quarter of 1999 to $21.5 million in the first quarter of 2000. Revenue from the sale of systems to Imaging customers decreased 16.5 percent, from $18.1 million in the first quarter of 1999 to $15.2 million in the first quarter of 2000. The decline is primarily due to the timing of deliveries on orders received during the quarter. Revenue from sales outside the United States increased as a percentage of total revenue from 37.5 percent to 47.3 percent for the quarters ended March 31, 1999 and 2000, respectively. Gross profit. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit increased from a loss of 1.0 percent to 52.2 percent in the first quarter of 2000. The primary reason for this significant increase was the inclusion in cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 1999 of a one-time charge of $20.1 million related to duplicate inventories and products which were determined to have reached the end of life, both created by overlapping product lines as a result of the merger with Inframetrics. Without this charge, gross profit as a percentage of revenue would have been 50.5 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. Research and development. Research and development expense as a percentage of revenue increased from 17.9 percent to 18.9 percent for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 2000, respectively. In absolute dollar terms, research and development expenses were approximately the same in both years. The overall level of research and development expense reflects the continued emphasis on product development and new product introductions. Due to the timing of revenue during the year, research and development expense as a percentage of revenue is typically higher in the first quarter than on a full year basis. Selling and other operating costs. Selling and other operating costs as a percentage of revenue increased from 35.7 percent in the first quarter of 1999 to 43.5 percent in the first quarter of 2000. In absolute dollar terms, selling and other operating costs increased from $13.9 million to $16.0 million for the quarters ended March 31, 1999 and 2000, respectively. The increase in absolute dollar terms was due to higher audit and legal costs, increased depreciation related to the Company's enterprise resource planning system implemented in April 1999, and various selling, marketing, and administrative overhead expenses. Inframetrics Merger. Effective March 30, 1999, the Company completed its merger with Inframetrics, Inc., a privately held infrared imaging company headquartered in Billerica, Massachusetts, by issuing approximately 2.3 million shares of the Company's common stock (including approximately 192,000 shares reserved for exercise of outstanding options) for all the outstanding stock of Inframetrics. Additionally, the Company assumed and paid off approximately $24 million of Inframetrics, Inc.'s short- and long-term debt. 14 In conjunction with the merger, during the quarter ended March 31, 1999, the Company recorded a one-time charge of $23.8 million. The charge consisted of a $20.1 million inventory reserve due to the creation of duplicative product lines, which is included in cost of goods sold, and $3.7 million of transaction related costs, which are included in combination costs, a separate line in operating costs. These charges and related reserves are more fully discussed in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements. During the quarter ended December 31, 1999, the Company recorded a charge of $1.2 million for the write-off of certain assets related to the merger. This charge is reported on the combination costs line in the financial statements. Interest expense. Interest expense increased from $1.2 million in the first quarter of 1999 to $2.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, due to increased debt levels and increased interest rates. Income taxes. The income tax benefit for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 was $1.8 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 32 percent. The effective tax rate is below statutory rates primarily due to a reduction in the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets and foreign tax rates. Management's assessment of improved profitability has increased its assessment of the amount of the deferred tax asset that is more likely than not to be realized in the future. No tax benefit was provided in the first quarter of 1999 as the valuation allowance was increased due to lower profitability that reduced management's assessment of the amount of deferred tax asset that was likely to be realized in the future. While management currently anticipates the effective tax rate for the year 2000 to be approximately 25 percent, this rate is very sensitive to the geographic mix of sales and profits, and therefore could be higher or lower in the future depending on the actual profits realized. Liquidity and Capital Resources At March 31, 2000, the Company had short-term borrowings net of cash on hand of $86.6 million compared to $77.0 million at December 31, 1999. The increase in short-term borrowings during the three months ended March 31, 2000, was principally caused by increased working capital needs. Accounts receivable decreased from $56.8 million at December 31, 1999 to $45.5 million at March 31, 2000. The decline in receivables was attributable to the seasonal reduction in revenue in the first quarter of 2000 relative to the fourth quarter of 1999. Revenue in the fourth quarter of 1999 was $48.1 million compared to $36.7 million in the first quarter of 2000. Inventories increased from $65.1 million at December 31, 1999 to $73.1 million at March 31, 2000. The increase was the result of a buildup of materials in anticipation of increased shipments to customers throughout the balance of the year. The Company's investing activities have consisted primarily of expenditures for fixed assets, which totaled $2.6 million and $1.5 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. 15 The Company has a Credit Agreement with a number of banks that provides it with a $100 million revolving line of credit. Interest on borrowings under the agreement is at a fluctuating rate generally equal to the higher of the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% or the prime rate of the primary lender for domestic borrowings, and LIBOR for offshore borrowings. The interest rates on borrowings under the agreement increase as the Company's consolidated debt level increases. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings at March 31, 2000 was 8.8 percent. The agreement allows the Company to elect any time prior to December 1, 2002, to convert the entire principal balance under the agreement into a term loan that would be payable in 24 subsequent equal monthly payments plus interest. The Company's obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all the assets of the Company. The Credit Agreement includes negative covenants that, among other things, impose limitations on the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness, engage in certain acquisition or disposition transactions, incur lease obligations and make investments, capital expenditures and certain other payments. The Credit Agreement also includes certain financial covenants, including consolidated tangible net worth, interest coverage ratio and leverage ratio. As of December 31, 1999 and for the year then ended, the Company was in violation of certain of these covenants. Pursuant to an amendment to the Credit Agreement dated as of April 13, 2000, the lenders waived their rights to declare a default based upon such covenant violations from December 16, 1999 and through December 30, 2000. The amendment to the Credit Agreement also modified the consolidated tangible net worth covenant, added covenants with respect to minimum levels of revenue and EBITDA and increased the interest rates applicable to offshore borrowings under the Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2000 and for the quarter then ended, the Company was in violation of the minimum revenue, minimum EBITDA and consolidated tangible net worth covenants under the Credit Agreement. As a result of these covenant violations, the lenders have the right at any time to declare the full amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement immediately due and payable. The Company and the lenders are actively engaged in discussions regarding potential remedies for the Company's covenant violations. However, as of this date, the lenders have not waived their rights to declare a default based upon such covenant violations. Additionally, the Company, through one of its subsidiaries, has a 50,000,000 Swedish Kroner (approximately $5.8 million) line of credit at 4.5 percent at March 31, 2000. At March 31, 2000, the Company had $93.0 million outstanding under the Credit Agreement and $2.0 million outstanding under the Swedish Kroner line of credit. The use of cash for operating activities in the first quarter of 2000 was $6.9 million, compared to $5.1 million for the first quarter of 1999. Use of cash increased as the result of increased working capital needs. The Company believes that its existing cash and available credit facilities, financing available from other sources, continuing efforts to control costs, improved collection of accounts receivable and management of inventory levels will be sufficient to meet its cash requirements for the foreseeable future. Impact of the Year 2000 The Company conducted a comprehensive review of its computer systems to identify the systems that could be affected by the Year 2000 issue. The Company identified that the internal manufacturing system acquired by the Company in connection with the acquisition of AGEMA was not Year 2000 compliant, and installed a new enterprise resource planning system, both 16 hardware and software, to correct this deficiency. The Company's existing product line was tested and reviewed to ensure Year 2000 compliance, and the Company's products under development were designed to be Year 2000 compliant. Additionally, the Company evaluated Year 2000 compliance on products from its suppliers and partners. A contingency plan for dealing with the most reasonably likely worst-case scenario was developed. Both internal and external resources were employed to identify, correct or reprogram, and test the systems for Year 2000 compliance. The total cost of the project was approximately $7 million and was funded through existing cash resources. To date, the Company has not encountered any material Year 2000 problems with respect to products, internal systems or any third party products or systems.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk The Company's exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to its short-term and long-term debt obligations. The debt obligations are at variable rates. The Company has not historically utilized interest rate swap or similar hedging arrangements to fix interest rates, but in March 2000, the Company entered into interest swap agreements with one of its lender banks for a notional amount of $40.0 million. A change in interest rates related to the swap agreements impacts interest incurred, cash flows and the fair value of the instrument. 17 The foreign subsidiaries of the Company generally use their local currency as the functional currency. The Company does not currently enter into any foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge certain balance sheet exposures and intercompany balances against future movements in foreign exchange rates. To date, such exposure has been immaterial. The Company does maintain cash balances denominated in currencies other than the US Dollar. If foreign exchange rates were to weaken against the US Dollar, the Company believes that the fair value of these foreign currency amounts would decline by an immaterial amount. 18 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Item 3. Default Upon Senior Securities The Company is in violation of certain financial covenants under its Credit Agreement. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources." Item 5. Other Information As a result of the Company's failure to file this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 (the "Form 10-Q") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") within the prescribed time, the Company was notified by the staff of the Nasdaq Stock Market that the Company's stock would be delisted from the Nasdaq Stock Market on June 1, 2000 if the Form 10-Q was not filed with the SEC before that date. The Company was not able to file the Form 10-Q before that date. The Company appealed the Nasdaq staff's delisting determination by requesting a hearing on the matter. A hearing on the Company's appeal before a Nasdaq Listing Qualification Panel has been scheduled for July 6, 2000. Although the Company has now filed the Form 10-Q, no assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in its appeal or that its common stock will continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market. If the Company's common stock were to be delisted from the Nasdaq Stock Market, the Company anticipates that its common stock would be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. Item 6.
