BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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 only normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2002. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001, contained in the Company's annual report filed on Form 10-K (File No. 0-18277) with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 2.

INVENTORIES Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined using the first-in, first-out method) or market.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Total comprehensive income (loss) was ($5,586,000) and $1,661,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and March 31, 2001, respectively. Other comprehensive income consisted principally of adjustments for foreign currency translation losses in the amounts of ($7,000) and ($467,000) and unrealized gains (losses) on available for sale securities in the amount of ($648,000) and $49,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and March 31, 2001, respectively. 5. IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (FAS 142) "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." Under FAS 142, goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets will no longer be amortized but will be tested for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level. The Company adopted FAS 142 in the first quarter of 2002, which resulted in the elimination of goodwill amortization beginning in fiscal 2002. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact FAS 142 will have on the carrying value of goodwill and the related impact on the financial position and results of operations. Adjustments for impairment, if any, will be recorded in the second quarter of 2002. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of reported net income (loss) to adjusted net income (loss) (in thousands): Three Months Ended ------------------ March 31, 2002 2001 ---- ---- Reported net income (loss) $(4,931) $ 2,079 Add back: goodwill amortization - 49 ------- ------- Adjusted net income (loss) $(4,931) $ 2,128 ======= =======

FORM 10-Q PART I ITEM 1 PAGE 6 VICOR CORPORATION Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements March 31, 2002 (Continued) 5. Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards (Continued) ---------------------------------------------------------- In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143 (FAS 143) "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. It also applies to legal obligations associated with retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or the normal operation of a long-lived asset except for certain obligations of lessees. The Company is required to adopt FAS 143 in the first quarter of 2003 and does not expect it will have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. In October 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (FAS 144) "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." FAS 144 supersedes FAS 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" and provides a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of. The Company adopted FAS 144 in the first quarter of 2002. The adoption of FAS 144 did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

FORM 10-Q PART I ITEM 2 PAGE 7 VICOR CORPORATION ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS MARCH 31, 2002 Except for historical information contained herein, some matters discussed in this report constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The words "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "intend," "estimate," "plan," "assumes," and other similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of the risk factors set forth in this report and in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. Reference is made in particular to the discussions set forth below in this report under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and set forth in the Annual Report on Form 10-K under Part I, Item 1 -- "Business -- Second-Generation Automated Manufacturing Line," "--Competition," "--Patents," "--Licensing," and "--Risk Factors," under Part I, Item 3 -- "Legal Proceedings," and under Part II, Item 7 -- "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." The risk factors contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K may not be exhaustive. Therefore, the information contained in that Form 10-K should be read together with other reports and documents that the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, including Forms 10-Q, 8-K and 10-K, which may supplement, modify, supersede or update those risk factors. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2002 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 Net revenues for the first quarter of 2002 were $34,620,000, a decrease of $20,399,000 (37.1%) as compared to $55,019,000 for the same period a year ago. The decrease in net revenues resulted primarily from a decrease in unit shipments of standard and custom products of approximately $19,576,000 and a decrease in license revenue of $823,000. The Company experienced continued reduction in demand for its first-generation products which began in the fourth quarter of 2000 and second-generation products which began in the second half of 2001. The decrease in licensing revenue was principally due to the recognition of the final amounts under the license agreement with Reltec Corporation during the first quarter of 2001. Gross margin decreased $9,653,000 (54.2%) to $8,162,000 from $17,815,000, and decreased as a percentage of net revenues from 32.4% to 23.6%. The primary components of the decreases in gross margin dollars and the corresponding decrease in percentage were the decrease in net revenues and changes in the revenue mix. The Company continues to refine the design, processes, equipment and parts associated with second-generation products. Until the Company achieves higher production volumes, higher yield levels and attains component cost reductions on second-generation products, gross margins will continue to be adversely affected.

FORM 10-Q PART I ITEM 2 PAGE 8 VICOR CORPORATION Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations March 31, 2002 (Continued) Selling, general and administrative expenses were $10,253,000 for the period, a decrease of $61,000 (0.6%) over the same period in 2001. As a percentage of net revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 29.6% from 18.7%. The principal components of the $61,000 decrease were $382,000 (28.0%) in decreased sales commission costs, $290,000 (35.4%) in decreased advertising expenses, $149,000 (26.2%) in decreased costs associated with the operations of the Vicor Integrated Architects and $123,000 (38.3%) in decreased transportation expenses. The principal component offsetting the above decreases was $1,097,000 (362.4%) of increased legal expense related to the Company's patent infringement actions (see Part II, Item 1 - "Legal Proceedings"). Research and development expenses decreased $346,000 (6.3%) to $5,107,000 and increased as a percentage of net revenues to 14.8% from 9.9%. The principal components of the $346,000 decrease were $217,000 (100.0%) of decreased research and development expense associated with the operations of Vicor Japan Co., Ltd. ("VJCL") due to a realignment of their activities to applications engineering beginning in the second quarter of 2001, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses and $141,000 (71.0%) of decreased personnel related expenses, principally for employment recruiting, advertising and relocation expenses. Other income (expense), net decreased $1,669,000 (151.5%) from the same period a year ago to $(567,000). Other income (expense) is primarily comprised of interest income derived from invested cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, as well as a note receivable associated with the Company's real estate transaction. The decrease in other income (expense), net was due to the write-down of obsolete equipment of $1,159,000 and lower interest income due to a decrease in average interest rates. Income (loss) before income taxes was $(7,765,000), a decrease of $10,915,000 (346.5%) compared to income before taxes of $3,150,000 for the same period in 2001. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2002 was (36.5%), compared to 34.0% for the same period in 2001. Diluted loss per share was $(0.12) for the first quarter of 2002, compared to diluted income per share of $0.05 for the first quarter of 2001.

FORM 10-Q PART I ITEM 2 PAGE 9 VICOR CORPORATION Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations March 31, 2002 (Continued) LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At March 31, 2002 the Company had $58,060,000 in cash and cash equivalents. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 9.9:1 at March 31, 2002 compared to 11.0:1 at December 31, 2001. Working capital decreased $2,020,000, from $153,159,000 at December 31, 2001 to $151,139,000 at March 31, 2002. The primary factors affecting the working capital decrease were a decrease in inventory of $3,911,000 and an increase in current liabilities of $1,682,000 offset by increases in short-term investments of $1,674,000 and accounts receivable and other current assets of $1,320,000. The primary source of cash was $5,895,000 from operating activities. The primary uses of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2002 were for additions to property and equipment of $3,508,000 and net purchases of short-term investments of $1,795,000. The Company's primary liquidity needs are for making continuing investments in manufacturing equipment, much of which is built internally, particularly for the Company's second-generation products. The internal construction of manufacturing machinery, in order to provide for additional manufacturing capacity, is a practice which the Company expects to continue over the next several years. The Company is in the process of completing an upgrade to second-generation products, internally designated as FastTrack, which the Company anticipates will help to increase production capacity and reduce costs. In February 2001, management approved approximately $16,000,000 in new capital expenditures to execute this plan. The Company currently estimates that it will spend approximately $12,000,000 under this plan. Through March 31, 2002, the Company has spent approximately $10,100,000 under this plan, with the remainder expected to be spent in 2002. In November 2000, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the repurchase of up to $30,000,000 of the Company's Common Stock (the "November 2000 Plan"). The November 2000 Plan authorizes the Company to make such repurchases from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. The timing of this program and the amount of the stock that may be repurchased are at the discretion of management based on its view of economic and financial market conditions. There were no stock repurchases during the three months ended March 31, 2002. The Company believes that cash generated from operations and the total of its cash and cash equivalents, together with other sources of liquidity, will be sufficient to fund planned operations and capital equipment purchases for the foreseeable future. At March 31, 2002, the Company had approximately $700,000 of capital expenditure commitments. The Company does not consider the impact of inflation and changing prices on its business activities or fluctuations in the exchange rates for foreign currency transactions to have been significant during the last three fiscal years.

FORM 10-Q PART I ITEM 3 PAGE 10 VICOR CORPORATION March 31, 2002 ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company is exposed to a variety of market risks, including changes in interest rates affecting the return on its cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, changes in the equity price of the Company's investment in Scipher, plc a U.K. company, and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. As the Company's cash and cash equivalents consist principally of money market securities, which are short-term in nature, the Company's exposure to market risk on interest rate fluctuations for these investments is not significant. The Company's short-term investments consist mainly of corporate and government debt securities, a major portion of which have maturities of less than one year. These debt securities are all highly rated investments, in which a significant portion have interest rates reset at auction at regular intervals. As a result, the Company believes there is minimal market risk to these investments. The Company's exposure to market risk for fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relates primarily to the operations of VJCL. The Company believes that this market risk is currently not material due to the relatively small size of VJCL's operations. The equity price risk for the Company's investment in Scipher, plc may be material as the market price of the stock has experienced significant fluctuations over the past several months. At April 30, 2002, the fair value of the investment was $1,065,000, which represents an unrealized loss of approximately $1,387,000 ($818,000 net of income taxes).

FORM 10-Q PART II ITEM 1-6 PAGE 11 VICOR CORPORATION Part II - Other Information March 31, 2002 ITEM 1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS As previously disclosed, Vicor and VLT, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, ("VLT") are continuing to pursue Reset Patent infringement claims directly against Artesyn Technologies, Lambda Electronics, Lucent Technologies and Power-One in the United States District Court in Boston, Massachusetts. The lawsuit against Lucent was filed in May 2000 and the lawsuits against the other defendants were filed in February and March 2001. On April 6, 2001, Vicor and VLT moved to add Tyco Electronics Power Systems, Inc. as a defendant in the Lucent proceeding. Tyco Electronics Power Systems, Inc. is the entity which now operates the former power component business of Lucent. Vicor and VLT are seeking monetary damages in these suits. On June 29, 2001, Vicor filed a motion with the Court seeking an attachment of certain of Lucent's property in Massachusetts. On January 17, 2002, the Court issued an order granting Vicor an attachment of certain of Lucent's property in an amount of $20 million, unless Lucent posted a bond for this amount. In granting its order, the Court found that (1) Vicor had a reasonable likelihood of succeeding in its claim of patent infringement against Lucent and (2) $20 million represented a conservative estimate of actual damages that Vicor is likely to prove at trial. On February 15, 2002, Lucent posted a bond in connection with the court order. There can be no assurance that Vicor will ultimately prevail in this litigation or, if it prevails, as to the amount of damages that would be awarded. The Company is in the process of enforcing its rights against other third parties that it believes are infringing the Company's intellectual property. In addition, the Company is involved in certain other litigation incidental to the conduct of its business. While the outcome of lawsuits against the Company cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not expect any current litigation to have a material adverse impact on the Company.
