MANAGEMENT'S STATEMENT - Note 1

1. MANAGEMENT’S STATEMENT

The Condensed Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2021, the Condensed Statements of Operations and Condensed Statements of Shareholders' Equity (Deficit) for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, and Condensed Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, have been prepared by MicroVision, Inc. ("we" or "our") and have not been audited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to state fairly the financial position at March 31, 2021 and the results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented have been made and consist of normal recurring adjustments. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. You should read these condensed financial statements in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be attained for the entire fiscal year.

We are focused on increasing the value of the Company by completing development of our 1st Generation Long Range Lidar (LRL) module to a level that it would be ready to scale in the market. We believe our technology and designs for automotive lidar can be successful in the market, and we expect our solutions to have features and performance that exceed those of competitors and will provide a sustainable strategic advantage in the market.

For the past few years, our strategy has been to sell Augmented Reality (AR) displays or components, Interactive Displays, or Consumer Lidars to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and original design manufacturers (ODMs) for incorporation into their products. However, while we do have a well-known customer for one of these products which generates royalty income, the volume of sales and resulting royalties from that product are not significant, and we have been unable to secure additional customers to launch one of our products. As a result, since February 2020, we have been simultaneously seeking strategic alternatives, including a potential sale or merger of the Company, sale of part of the Company, strategic minority investment, as well as licensing and other transactions, while continuing to develop our 1st Generation Long Range Lidar module.

We have incurred significant losses since inception. We have funded our operations to date primarily through the sale of common stock, convertible preferred stock, warrants, the issuance of convertible debt and, to a lesser extent, from development contract revenues, product sales and licensing activities.

At March 31, 2021, we had $75.3 million in cash and cash equivalents. Based on our current operating plan, we anticipate that we have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months. While we continue to pursue strategic alternatives, we may require additional capital to fund our operating plan past that time. We may seek additional capital through the issuance of equity or debt securities, and/or licensing activities. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us or, if available, will be available on terms acceptable to us or on a timely basis. If adequate capital resources are not available on a timely basis, we may consider limiting our operations substantially.
