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 and nine month periods ended September 30, 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 third quarter of 2005 ended on October 2, 2005 and the third quarter of 2004 ended on October 3, 2004.  For convenience, the third quarters of 2005 and 2004 are both shown as ended on September 30.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a)                                 Sales Returns and Allowances

The balances and changes in reserve for sales allowances, warranties and returns for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 are as follows:

(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 December 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

6

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.

On July 22, 2005, the Company announced that it accelerated the vesting of certain unvested stock options awarded to its employees, officers and directors under its stock option plans.  The acceleration applies only to those options with an exercise price of $8.00 or greater, which were out-of-the-money at the time of the modification.  The closing sales price of APTI stock on the NASDAQ National Market on July 22, 2005 was $7.97.  As a result of this action, options to purchase approximately 244,000 shares became exercisable on July 22, 2005. In accordance with APB 25, the modification of these grants did not result in any charge to income in the third quarter of 2005. The Company believes that this action will result in lower compensation expense recorded in our results from operations once the provisions of SFAS 123R go into effect beginning January 1, 2006 for APT. The impact of this action is an additional $500 of stock compensation expense in our pro forma disclosures for the third quarter of 2005, the period the modification was approved and effective. The fourth quarter of 2005 pro forma compensation expense disclosure will be reduced by $115. The financial impact in 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009 will be to reduce the compensation expense recorded by $260, $84, $34, and $7, respectively.

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:

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:

7

(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 and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 are summarized in the following table:

(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 in the third quarter of 2005 compared to $269 in the third quarter of 2004, and $947 in the first nine months of 2005 compared to $807 in the first nine months of 2004. Excluding the impact of any future acquisitions, amortization of intangible assets will be approximately $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 September 30, 2005, the Company still maintains a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, net of certain deferred tax liabilities.

(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 September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 were $10,000 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 as Advanced Power Technology Colorado, Inc.

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:

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:

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 switching 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:

9

In connection with this acquisition, APT originally recorded a charge of $4,896 for the write-off of in-process research and development (IPR&D), which was reduced in the second quarter of 2005 by $28 upon finalization of the purchase price allocation.  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 revenue, 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. As of September 30, 2005, we estimate that the project is approximately 85% complete, with estimated remaining spending of $175.

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. During the first quarter of 2005 an additional $45 of severance charges was recognized. The severance charges 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.

10

The building purchase was reported through the second quarter of 2005 as an asset held for sale, as APT no longer required 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 building was sold in the third quarter of 2005.  Net proceeds from the sale of the building were $930, resulting in no gain or loss on the transaction.

The Company estimates that the annual savings from the transfer of the Company’s wafer fabrication plant in Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania to Bend, Oregon and the restructuring actions announced in November 2003 are approximately $1.4 million for cost of goods sold and $800 for selling, general and administrative costs. The cost savings were realized gradually from the inception of the restructuring actions.  The savings in cost of goods sold reached the estimated annual run rate of $350 per quarter in the fourth quarter of 2004, and the savings in selling, general and administrative costs reached the full annualized run rate of $200 per quarter in the third quarter of 2004.

In July 2005, the Company announced that it would continue consolidating manufacturing operations and move certain production activities offshore and that it would disengage from a low growth product line currently with onshore production.  As a result of restructuring actions, $124 of severance pay related charges was recognized in the second quarter of 2005.  There were no restructuring charges recognized in the third quarter of 2005.  Approximately $530 of additional restructuring charges is expected to be recognized as these actions occur over the next nine to fifteen months. The charges will include severance costs of approximately $405 to be settled in cash, and the non-cash write-off or acceleration of depreciation of certain equipment of approximately $125.

The changes in the reserve for restructuring balance for the three and nine months ended September 30, 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.

One customer accounted for 18.2% and 21.7% of our revenue in the third quarter of 2005 and 2004, respectively. Revenue from our five largest OEM and distributor customers in the first nine months of 2005 and 2004 accounted for 37.1% and 45.9% of our total revenue, respectively. One customer accounted for 19.3% of our revenue in the first nine months of 2005. Our top two customers accounted for 18.2% and 11.0% of our revenue in the first nine months of 2004. No other customer exceeded 10.0% of our revenue during these periods. We generally provide our customers a 12-month repair or replacement warranty.

Note 8. Line of Credit

On March 31, 2005, we obtained a $10 million revolving line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank. We currently have no advances outstanding 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

12

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.

We have certain indemnification obligations to customers with respect to the infringement of third party intellectual rights by our products. No assurance can be provided that future assertions of infringement or misappropriation will not occur, or that claims for indemnification by customers of our products will not be made, or that assertions of infringement or misappropriation (especially if proven to be true) will not harm our business.

On June 22, 2005, we entered into a wafer production agreement with CSMC Manufacturing Co., Ltd. for the provision of foundry services to be performed by CSMC Technologies Fab 1 Co., Ltd. (CSMC), a subsidiary located in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, China. CSMC will produce and supply wafers to the Company according to the terms and conditions of the contract. There are no financial commitments from the contract until production begins, which is expected in early 2006.

APT has agreements with foundry partners in Europe, Taiwan, and China to process wafers. APT also has agreements with subcontractors in the Philippines and Malaysia for assembly and testing of most of its plastic encapsulated products. In addition, APT enters purchase order obligations in the normal course of business for the purchase of raw materials, capital equipment, and other supplies. APT’s total commitments at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 under these purchase obligations were approximately $13,461 and $12,085, respectively.

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 inverters and base stations for wireless communications.

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 these cyclical markets, we have experienced downward pressure on our revenue 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 operating expenses as well as reducing the fixed portion of our manufacturing costs 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. APT is headquartered in Bend, Oregon and has operations and offices in North America, France, and China. 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

14

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 companies.  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 in 2004 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 the first nine months of 2005, we recorded acquisition related charges for amortization of intangible assets and deferred compensation amortization of $977, of which $807 was included in cost of goods sold and $170 in operating expenses.  In connection with our January 2005 acquisition of PowerSicel, Inc., we recorded in-process research and development charges of $4,868.  Also recorded in 2005 was $169 of restructuring related charges included in operating expenses, of which $45 was associated with additional severance related to downsizing and organizational changes we began in 2003, and $124 was related to plans announced in July 2005 to continue consolidating manufacturing operations, move certain production activities offshore and disengage from a small low growth product line currently with onshore production. The total charges for the first nine months of 2005 pre-tax and after tax were $6,014 and $6,007, 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. The details of our revenue by geographic region is included in the notes to our financial statements. 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.

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, every six months, their products in inventory for a value up to 5% of their purchases over the preceding six month period in exchange for an order of an equal amount of new product. In addition we may elect to give price protections or other allowances to our distributors. Price protections may be offered for distributor inventory on hand when we update our price list. Additional price allowances may be offered to our distributors in certain competitive bidding situations in which we may further discount the price.  These price allowances are evaluated as requested by the distributor on a case by case basis.  Upon shipment, we record an allowance for the estimated cost that may be incurred for product warranty, sales returns, price allowances and contractual requirements with our distributors based on historical experience.

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.

16

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 September 30, 2005, we had a full valuation allowance recorded against our deferred tax assets, net of certain deferred tax liabilities.

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

17

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.

Results of Operations

The following table presents our consolidated statement of operations data for the periods indicated as a percentage of net revenue:

Revenue. Revenue for the third quarter of 2005 was $16.8 million, sequentially up 11.0% from $15.2 million in the second quarter of 2005 and down 9.7% from $18.7 million in the third quarter of 2004. The sequential increase in revenue is primarily attributable to the industrial and medical market and the military/aerospace market which increased in the third quarter of 2005 by $1.1 million or 25.0% and $1.0 million or 22.1%, respectively. The sequential improvement in the industrial and medical market is primarily due to improved demand from our medical market customers in both implantable defibrillator and medical imaging applications. These increases were partially offset by declines in the semiconductor capital equipment market.

Revenue for the first nine months of 2005 was $46.2 million, down 10.9% from $51.8 million in the first nine months of 2004. The decline in year to date revenue was primarily due to a decrease in revenue in the semiconductor capital equipment market. The decline in revenue in the semiconductor capital equipment market was due to both reduced end market demand and an inventory correction that was underway at our customers. We believe that the inventory correction by our customers was completed in the second quarter of 2005 and that shipments are now more closely matching our customers’ consumption rates.  Compared to the prior year nine months, the semiconductor capital

18

equipment market was down $8.2 million or 55.1%. The decline in third quarter of 2005 revenue compared to third quarter of 2004 is also attributable to a decrease in revenue in the semiconductor capital equipment market.  Compared to the prior year quarter, the semiconductor capital equipment market was down $2.2 million or 49.2%.

The overall classification of our revenue by market in the first nine months of 2005 was communications and data processing 22.2%, semiconductor capital equipment 14.4%, industrial and medical 29.6%, military and aerospace 32.0%, and 1.8% other.  This compares to the first nine months of 2004 classification of communication and data processing 21.7%, semiconductor capital equipment 28.6%, industrial and medical 25.3%, and military and aerospace 24.4%.

Gross Profit. Gross profit margin for the third quarter of 2005 was 34.2%, compared to 33.8% in the third quarter of 2004, and 31.1% in the second quarter of 2005.  Included in our costs of goods sold in the second and third quarter of 2005 and the third quarter of 2004, was $269,000 of amortization of technology rights assets. The sequential improvement in gross profit margin was primarily due to a more favorable mix of products sold and slightly higher fixed cost absorption at our Bend, Oregon facility on higher volumes.  The sequential improvement in gross profit margin was also due to higher gross margin RF product revenue from our Santa Clara, California facility. The increase in gross profit margin over the prior year quarter was primarily due to a more profitable mix of products sold from our Santa Clara, California facility. The increase from the prior year quarter was partially offset by lower fixed cost absorption at our Bend, Oregon facility, as a result of reduced production levels in response to decreased sales to the semiconductor capital equipment, as mentioned in the Revenue section above.

Gross profit margin for the first nine months of 2005 was 30.8%, compared to 36.0% in the first nine months of 2004. Included in our costs of goods sold in the first nine months of 2005 and 2004, was $807,000 and $817,000 of amortization of technology rights assets, respectively.  The decline in gross profit margin over the prior year was primarily due to reduced fixed cost absorption on lower production volumes at our Bend, Oregon facility, and to customer return and production yield issues. The decrease in production volumes and lower fixed cost absorption at our Bend, Oregon facility was due to lower sales to the semiconductor capital equipment market, as mentioned in the Revenue section above. These declines were partially offset by improved gross margins on our RF products at our Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania facility as we began to benefit from restructuring actions that resulted in the transfer of wafer production activities from our Montgomeryville operation to our Bend facility. The overall product mix of our revenue also improved which also served to offset some of the decline in gross margin.

Research and Development Expense.  Third quarter of 2005 research and development expenses were $1.3 million or 7.8% of revenue, compared to $903,000 in the third quarter of 2004, or 4.8% of revenue.  Research and development expenses in the first nine months of 2005 and 2004 were $3.7 million and $2.6 million or 8.0% and 5.0% of revenue, respectively.  The dollar increase in both the quarter over quarter and year to date over year to date research and development spending were both primarily attributable to increased payroll expense for additional personnel dedicated to research and development activities. The increase in payroll expense for quarter over quarter and year to date over year to date was $186,000 and $545,000, respectively.  Higher spending on supplies and materials also contributed to the increase in expense quarter over quarter and year to date over year to date. The increase in the percentage of revenue was due to both higher spending and lower revenue levels in 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.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Third quarter of 2005 selling, general, and administrative expenses were $3.7 million or 22.0% of revenue, compared to $3.9 million in the third quarter of 2004, or 20.7% of revenue.  Selling, general, and administrative expenses in the first nine months of 2005 and 2004 were $11.3 million and $13.1 million or 24.5% and 25.3% of revenue, respectively. The decrease in both the quarter over quarter and year to date over year to date spending levels was primarily attributable to legal fees incurred in 2004 associated with a resolved patent litigation matter.  Such legal fees in the third quarter of 2004 and year to date 2004 were $97,000 and $2.0 million, respectively. Lower sales commissions on lower revenues in 2005 and lower payroll costs associated with our management cash incentive plan also contributed to the decrease in spending levels for both the quarter over quarter and year to date over year to date comparisons. The decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses for both the quarter over quarter and year to date over year to date was partially offset by additional costs associated with our new office in Shenzen China, and additional selling, general, and administrative expenses from our first quarter acquisition of

19

PowerSicel, Inc. in Boulder, Colorado. We anticipate our spending levels for our new China office and for our acquired business in Boulder, Colorado to be approximately $85,000 and $165,000 per quarter, respectively, over the next several quarters.

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. During the first quarter of 2005 an additional $45,000 of severance charges was recognized. The severance charges 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 was reported through the second quarter of 2005 as an asset held for sale, as APT no longer required 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 building was sold in the third quarter of 2005.  Net proceeds from the sale of the building were $930,000, resulting in no gain or loss on the transaction.

The Company estimates that the annual savings from the transfer of the Company’s wafer fabrication plant in Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania to Bend, Oregon and the restructuring actions announced in November 2003 are approximately $1.4 million for cost of goods sold and $800,000 for selling, general and administrative costs. The cost savings were realized gradually from the inception of the restructuring actions.  The savings in cost of goods sold reached the estimated annual run rate of $350,000 per quarter in the fourth quarter of 2004, and the savings in selling, general and administrative costs reached the full annualized run rate of $200,000 per quarter in the third quarter of 2004.

In July 2005, the Company announced that it would continue consolidating manufacturing operations and move certain production activities offshore and that it would disengage from a low growth product line currently with onshore production.  As a result of restructuring actions, $124,000 of severance pay related charges was recognized in the second quarter of 2005.  There were no restructuring charges recognized in the third quarter of 2005.  Approximately $530,000 of additional restructuring charges is expected to be recognized as these actions occur over the next nine to fifteen months. The charges will include severance costs of approximately $405,000 to be settled in cash, and the non-cash write-off or acceleration of depreciation of certain equipment of approximately $125,000.

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 $86,000 in the third quarter of 2005 compared to a net loss of $87,000 in the third quarter of 2004.  Net interest income was $81,000 in the third quarter of 2005 compared to $66,000 in the third quarter of 2004.  Net interest income for the first nine months of 2005 was $209,000 compared to $147,000 in the first nine months of 2004. The increase in net interest income for both quarter over quarter and year to date over year to date is due to higher interest rates on our marketable securities.  Net other expense for the first nine months of 2005 was $115,000 compared to $147,000 in the first nine months of 2004.  Net other expense in the first nine months of 2005 includes primarily foreign exchange losses associated with our subsidiary in Bordeaux, France.  Net other expense in the first nine months of 2004 includes $181,000 of expensed legal and accounting fees associated

20

with the filing and subsequent withdrawal of the Company’s S-3 registration statement, which was recorded in the third quarter of 2004.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit).  For the first nine months 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. For the first nine months of 2004, the Company recorded a tax expense of $57,000 for certain state income taxes.

The Company recorded a full valuation allowance against its remaining deferred tax assets net of certain deferred tax liabilities 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 first nine months 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 nine months of 2005, we generated approximately $4.4 million from operating activities. This resulted from our net loss of $5.7 million offset by $3.8 million of non-cash charges for depreciation, amortization, and provisions, $4.9 million for in-process research and development charges, and $1.4 million for reduced working capital requirements. The lower working capital requirements primary reflected lower accounts receivable, inventory, and prepaid expenses and other current assets on lower revenue.

Investing Cash Flows In the first nine months of 2005, we used $5.0 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 $0.9 million and the net proceeds of $0.9 million from the sale of a building at our Santa Clara, California facility, as explained further in the Restructuring Activities section above. 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 for the acquisition.  We also purchased $1.8 million of property, plant, and equipment during the first nine months of 2005, compared to $2.8 million in the first nine months of 2004.  The decrease in the purchase of property, plant, and equipment in 2005 was primarily due to expenditures in 2004 for the expansion of our wafer fabrication facility at our Bend, Oregon plant.

Financing Cash Flows: In the first nine months of 2005, we generated approximately $160,000 from financing activities, which primarily consisted of proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

As of September 30, 2005, we had $33.4 million in working capital.  Our trade accounts receivable balance was $9.8 million reflecting a days sales outstanding ratio of 53 days, compared to trade accounts receivable of $10.0 million at December 31, 2004, reflecting a days sales outstanding ratio of 60 days. Based on the geographic mix of our customers and the credit terms we extend, management expects our days sales outstanding ratio to range from 50 to 60

21

days. Our inventory balance at September 30, 2005 was $13.5 million reflecting inventory turns of 3.3 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 pursue actions to monitor inventory levels and 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 have no advances under this line of credit.

We currently expect to fund expenditures for capital requirements as well as liquidity needs from a combination of available cash balances, internally generated funds, and our line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank.  As of September 30, 2005, APT had $15.5 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 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. 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 be certain that we will be able to obtain such financing on terms favorable to us, or at all.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements & Commitments

As of September 30, 2005 the Company did not have any unconsolidated entities or off balance sheet financial arrangements, guarantees or similar commitments with such entities. As of September 30, 2005 the open value of purchase order commitments was $13.5 million compared to $12.1 million at December 31, 2004. This represents the amounts committed per open purchase orders with third parties. The Company did not enter or terminate any lease agreements during the quarter.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), which is a revision of SFAS 123. SFAS 123R supersedes APB 25 and amends FASB Statement No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows”, see Note 2(b) in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4” (SFAS 151).  SFAS 151 clarifies that abnormal inventory costs such as costs of idle facilities, excess freight and handling costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) are required to be recognized as current period charges.  The Company early adopted SFAS 151 in the second quarter of 2005. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2005, FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (SFAS 154). SFAS 154 requires retrospective application of a voluntary change in accounting principle to prior period financial statements unless it is impracticable. This Statement also requires that a change in method of depreciation, amortization, or depletion for long-lived, non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate that is affected by a change in accounting principle and requires retrospective application to prior period financial statements. SFAS 154 replaces APB Opinion 20, “Accounting Changes”, and SFAS 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements”. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will

22

have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005, and accordingly, the Company will adopt SFAS 154 in the first quarter of 2006.

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 3% of our sales are transacted in foreign 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 third quarter of 2005 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
