Electro-Sensors, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2001
(Unaudited)

Note A: Nature of Business

Electro-Sensors, Inc. (the Company), operates two distinct businesses. The first is the Controls Division, which carries the name of Electro-Sensors, Inc. This division manufactures and markets a complete line of speed monitoring and motor control systems for industrial machinery. The Controls Division utilizes leading-edge technology to continuously improve its products and make them easier to use. The Controls Division’s goal is to manufacture the industry-preferred product for every market served. These products are sold through an internal sales staff and distributors to a wide variety of manufacturers, OEMS and processors to monitor the efficiency of process machinery. The Company markets its products to a number of different industries located throughout the United States and abroad. The Company owns marketable securities, which have experienced significant appreciation in value since the related company’s IPO in 2000. During late 2000 and the first six months of 2001, the Company has recognized income from the sale of a portion of its holdings.

The second business is AutoData Systems (ADS), a division of Electro-Sensors, Inc. ADS designs and markets a desktop software based system that reads handprinted characters, checkmarks and bar code information from scanned or faxed forms. ADS products are designed to provide capabilities to automate data collection through telemarketing to end users, resellers and developers in the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia.

The Company had previously operated a third business, Microflame, Inc. (MFI), a wholly owned subsidiary, which was sold in May 2001 (see Item 2: Results of Operations for further discussion). MFI produced small hand held gas torches used primarily by hobbyists, electronic kit assemblers and creators of jewelry. MFI products were sold through distributors to retailers of hardware, hobby craft and electronic products.

Note B: Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

Intercompany accounts, transactions and earnings are eliminated through consolidation.

The Balance Sheet at December 31, 2000 has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.

Total comprehensive income		$	1,409,030		$	16,065,981	$	(1,033,972	)	$	17,301,602

Note D: Investments

The Company has a portfolio of investments. Management determines the appropriate classification of securities at the date individual investments are acquired, and evaluates the appropriateness of such classification at each balance sheet date.

The Company’s investments consist of marketable equity securities, primarily common stocks, government debt securities, money market funds and unregistered equity securities. The estimated fair value of marketable equity securities is based on quoted market prices and, therefore, is subject to the inherent risk of market fluctuations.

Since the Company does not buy investments in anticipation of short-term fluctuations in market prices, the investments in marketable equity securities have been classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value, and unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related deferred tax effect, are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Dividends on marketable equity securities are recognized in income when declared. Investments in unregistered securities are reported at original cost.

Realized gains and losses, including losses from declines in value of specific securities determined by management to be other-than-temporary, are included in income. Realized gains and losses are determined on the basis of the specific securities sold.

Note E: New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No.101 (SAB 101), “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.” SAB 101 summarizes certain of the SEC’s views in applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements. In October 2000, the SEC issued additional written guidance to further supplement SAB 101. The Company adopted SAB 101 upon its issuance by the SEC. The adoption did not have any material effect on the Company’s revenues or revenue recognition policy.

Effective July 1, 2000, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," amended by Standard No. 137 which provides guidance on accounting for derivatives and hedge transactions.

The Company’s revenue recognition policy and procedures for “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” are as follows:

Revenue recognition of production monitoring equipment and gas torches:

All production monitoring equipment and gas torches are shipped without an evaluation or acceptance period. Revenues from the sale of these products and any related warranty costs are recognized at the time of shipment. The company’s distributors are not granted any price protection. Sales to all customers including distributors are final and no right of return after shipment exists.

Software revenue recognition:

The Company recognizes revenue upon shipment of its character recognition software. The product is sold to the end user and risk of loss is transferred, and the Company has no continuing obligations, once its products are delivered to the shipper. The Company recognizes revenue upon shipment, net of return reserves based on historical experience. To recognize revenue, it must be probable that the Company will collect the accounts receivable from its customers. In some situations, the Company receives advance payments from its customers. Revenue associated with these advance payments is deferred until the product is shipped. Warranty reserves are provided at the time revenue is recognized for the estimated cost of replacing defective product.

SFAS No. 133; Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (as amended by SFAS No. 137 with respect to the effective date) will be effective for the Company in January 2001. SFAS No. 133 requires all derivatives to be recognized as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and measured at fair value on a mark-to-market basis. This applies whether the derivatives are stand-alone instruments, such as forwarded currency exchange contracts and interest rate swaps or collars, or embedded investments. Along with the derivatives, the underlying hedged items are also to be marked to market on an ongoing basis. These market value adjustments are to be included in net income (loss) in the statement of operations or in other comprehensive income (and accumulated in shareholders’ equity), depending on the nature of the transaction.

Note F: Segment Information:

The following is financial information relating to the operating segments:

The Company’s subsidiary Microflame, Inc. was sold in May 2001. See Note G below. Segment information related to Microflame, Inc. previously has been included as the brazing torch operations segment.

The Company has no inter-segment sales.

Note G: Disposal of Microflame, Inc.

On May 14, 2001, the Company disposed of its brazing torches segment through a sale of all of its shares of stock in Microflame, Inc. to an unrelated party. The Company has restated its prior financial statements to present the operating results of the brazing torch operations as discontinued. Summary of the operating information for this segment is as follows:

	Revenue		Taxes

Three months ended June 30, 2001	$	20,468	$	(1,268	)
Three months ended June 30, 2000	$	78,605	$	4,075

Six months ended June 30, 2000	$	149,421	$	5,275

Proceeds on the sale of the operations include a $5,000 cash payment and a note receivable for $36,000. The note is payable in 36-monthly payments of $1,000 plus interest at 9.5%. The note is secured by the stock of Microflame, Inc. The tax benefit resulting from the loss on the disposal of its investment is $30,000.
