Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2009 (Unaudited)

Note 1 - Organization and summary of significant accounting policies:

a) Organization

Lattice Incorporated (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Delaware May 1973 and commenced operations in July 1977. The Company began as a provider of specialized solutions to the telecom industry. Throughout its history Lattice has adapted to the changes in this industry by reinventing itself to be more responsive and open to the dynamic pace of change experienced in the broader converged communications industry of today. Currently Lattice provides advanced solutions for several vertical markets. The greatest change in operations is in the shift from being a component manufacturer to a solution provider focused on developing applications through software on its core platform technology. To further its strategy of becoming a solutions provider, the Company acquired a majority interest in “SMEI” in February 2005. In September 2006 the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of the common stock of Ricciardi Technologies Inc. (“RTI”). RTI was founded in 1992 and provides software consulting and development services for the command and control of biological sensors and other Department of Defense requirements to United States federal governmental agencies either directly or through prime contractors of such governmental agencies. RTI’s proprietary products include SensorView, which provides clients with the capability to command, control and monitor multiple distributed chemical, biological, nuclear, explosive and hazardous material sensors. With the SMEI and the RTI acquisitions, approximately 92% of the Company’s revenues are derived from solution services. RTI’s income and expresses are included in the results of operations from September 19, 2006. In January 2007, we changed our name from Science Dynamics Corporation to Lattice Incorporated.

b) Basis of Presentation going concern

At June 30, 2009 the Company has a working capital deficiency of $829,000 including non-cash derivative liabilities of approximately $265,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company had a loss from operations of approximately $722,000 of which $598,000 was from non-cash amortization of intangibles and $251,000 was from non-cash share based compensation. This condition taken in conjunction with the Company’s history of operating losses raises doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is highly dependent upon management’s continuing and successful execution on its business plan to achieve profitability and availability of financing. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

c) Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2009 and for the six and three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, such condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for the fair representation of the consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations. The consolidated results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year end December 31, 2008 appearing in Form 10K filed on April 13, 2009.

d) Principles of consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements included the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries in which a controlling interest is maintained. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. For those consolidated subsidiaries where Company ownership is less than 100%, the outside stockholders' interests are shown as minority interests. Investments in affiliates over which the Company has significant influence but not a controlling interest are carried on the equity basis.

e) Use of estimates:

The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (US GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates form the basis for judgments made about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Estimates and judgments are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. However, future events are subject to change and the best estimates and judgments routinely require adjustment. US GAAP requires estimates and judgments in several areas, including those related to impairment of goodwill and equity investments, revenue recognition, recoverability of inventory and receivables, the useful lives long lived assets such as property and equipment, the future realization of deferred income tax benefits and the recording of various accruals. The ultimate outcome and actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used.

f) Reclassification

Certain March 31, 2009 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the June 30, 2009 presentation.

g) Share-based payments

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), Accounting for Share-based payments , to account for compensation costs under its stock option plans and other share-based arrangements. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company utilized the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees . Statement 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. For purposes of estimating fair value of stock options, we use the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation technique. At June 30, 2009, there was approximately $899,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation awards granted. The $899,000 will be charged to operations over the weighted average remaining service period. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 share-based compensation was $251,266 compared to $56,041 in the year ago period and $125,633 and 9,833 for three months ended June 30,2009 and 2008 respectively.

h) Events occurring after reporting date

The Company has evaluated events and transactions that occurred between June 30, 2009 and August 19, 2009, which is the date the financial statements were issued for possible disclosure and recognition in the financial statements. See Note 9 for subsequent events.

i) Recent accounting pronouncements

In the opinion of management, there are no recent accounting pronouncements that will have a material effect on the company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 2- Segment reporting

Management views its business as one reportable segment: Government services. The Company evaluates performance based on profit or loss before intercompany charges.

(b) Note payable - former RTI owners:

In accordance with the Settlement Agreement with Michael Ricciardi as owner representative of the former RTI shareholders the Company issued a 24 month promissory note to the former RTI shareholders. The promissory bears interest at a rate of 10%. Commencing in October 2008, the Company is required to make payments consisting solely of interest for the initial 12 months that the promissory note is outstanding. Commencing in October 2009, the Company is required to make monthly payments of principal of $62,500 plus interest. A total of $562,500 of this note is due within the next twelve months and classified as current with monthly payments of $62,500 starting October 2009.

The Company owed a balance at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 of $0 and $8,000 respectively to a former officer/ stockholder of the Company.

At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 the Company had a balance owing on a term note payable of $211,358 and $216,430 respectively, with a director of the Company. The note bears interest at 21.5% per annum and is payable monthly in amounts ranging from $6,000 to $10,000 with any residual balance maturing December 2011.

Note 5 - Derivative financial instruments:

The balance sheet caption derivative liabilities consist of Warrants, issued in connection with the 2005 Laurus Financing Arrangement, the 2006 Omnibus Amendment and Waiver Agreement with Laurus, and the 2006 Barron Financing Arrangement. These derivative financial instruments are indexed to an aggregate of 4,313,465 shares of the Company’s common stock as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 and are carried at fair value.

The valuation of the derivative warrant liabilities is determined using a Black Scholes Merton Model. Freestanding derivative instruments, consisting of warrants and options that arose from the Laurus and Barron financing are valued using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation methodology because that model embodies all of the relevant assumptions that address the features underlying these instruments. Significant assumptions used in the Black Scholes models as of June 30, 2009 included conversion or strike prices ranging from $0.10 - $1.10; historical volatility factors ranging from 122.18% - 123.01% based upon forward terms of instruments; terms-remaining term for all instruments; and a risk free rate ranging from 1.64% - 3.53%.

Note 8 - Subsequent Events

Action Capital Line of Credit:

Also on July 17, 2009, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Ricciardi Technologies, Inc. (“RTI”), entered into a Financing and Security Agreement (the “Action Agreement”) with Action Capital Corporation (“Action Capital”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Action Agreement, Action Capital agreed to provide the Company with advances of up to 90% of the net amount of certain acceptable account receivables of the Company (the “Acceptable Accounts”). An acceptable receivable is one that is approved by Action Capital and less than 90 days old. The maximum amount eligible to be advanced to the Company by Action Capital under the Action Agreement is $3,000,000. The Company will pay Action Capital interest on the advances outstanding under the Action Agreement equal to the prime rate of Wachovia Bank, N.A. in effect on the last business day of the prior month plus 1%. In addition, the Company will pay a monthly fee to Action Capital equal to 0.75% of the total outstanding balance at the end of each month.

In addition, pursuant to the Action Agreement, the Company granted Action Capital a security interest in certain assets of the Company including all, accounts receivable, contract rights, rebates and books and records pertaining to the foregoing.

Royal Bank America Leasing Equipment Lease:

On June 16, 2009 Lattice entered an equipment lease financing agreement with Royal Bank America Leasing to purchase approximately $130,000 in equipment for our Telecom business. The terms of which included monthly payments of $5,196 per month over 32 months and a $1.00 buy-out at end of the lease term. As of June 30, 2009, no payments on the equipment credit facility had been advanced by Royal Bank to 3rd party vendors. Accordingly, the Company did not record any liability in its Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2009.

Modification of Employee Options:

At the Board meeting held July 15, 2009, the Board of Directors of Lattice approved the re-pricing of outstanding employee options to current market. Under the modification, outstanding options would be re-priced at current market ( $0.09 per share at July 15 close) and extend vesting period an additional year. The Company currently has 7,680,000 employee options outstanding issued under its 2002 and 2008 stock options plans ranging in strike price from $0.33 to $1.80. The Company will record any incremental expense as a result of the re-pricing.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this report and with our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. This discussion should not be construed to imply that the results discussed herein will necessarily continue into the future, or that any conclusion reached herein will necessarily be indicative of actual operating results in the future. Such discussion represents only the best present assessment of our management.

GENERAL OVERVIEW

Lattice Incorporated was incorporated in the State of Delaware in May 1973 and commenced operations in July 1977. We have been developing and delivering secure technologically advanced communication solutions for over twenty-five years and recently expanded our product offering to include IT solutions with the acquisition of 86% of Systems Management Engineering, Inc. ("SMEI") on February 14, 2005. In September 2006, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 12, 2006 (the "RTI Agreement"), the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of the common stock of Ricciardi Technologies Inc. ("RTI"). RTI was founded in 1992 and provides software consulting and development services for the command and control of biological sensors and other Department of Defense requirements to United States federal governmental agencies either directly or though prime contractors of such governmental agencies RTI's proprietary products include SensorView, which provides clients with the capability to command, control and monitor multiple distributed chemical, biological, nuclear, explosive and hazardous material sensors. RTI is headquartered in Manassas, Virginia. The purchase of RTI's common stock was completed on September 19, 2006.

We intend to continue the expansion of our sales efforts both within the federal government secure software solutions space and commercial accounts. We continue to build upon our recent success in these markets by expanding our marketing efforts through our direct sales strategy. Our strong contract backlog has given us an opportunity to expand our existing revenue base. With regards to our acquisition strategy, we will continue to pursue profitable companies with proprietary products and services we can sell to our existing customers and which have synergies with our existing business.

We derive substantially all of our revenues from governmental contracts under which we act as both a prime contractor and indirectly as a subcontractor. Revenues from government contracts accounted for approximately $7,367,000 or 92% of our overall revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Of our total government contract revenues, approximately 90% were from Prime contract vehicles.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2009 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008

REVENUES:

Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2009 increased by $438,613 or 11.77% to $4,166,700 compared to $3,728,087 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Our Goverment Services segment which represents revenues from professional engineering services to Federal government Dept of Defense (DoD) agencies accounted for 93% of total revenues. The increase was mainly attributable to a formula based price increase on our cost plus contracts which is based on our projected indirect overhead costs relative to our direct labor costs. Cost plus contracts accounted for approximately 80% of our government service revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2009.

GROSS MARGIN:

Gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $1,282,194, an increase of $267,309 or 26.3% compared to the $1,014,885 for three months ended June 30, 2008. Gross margin, as a percentage of revenues, increased to 30.8% from 27.2% for the same period in 2008. The increase in percentage was primarily due to an increase in gross margin from Government services related to pricing on our cost-plus contract vehicles compared to prior year levels. This was partially offset by an increase in lower margin revenues handled by subcontractors relative to total revenues.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES:

Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related personnel costs, and consulting fees associated with product development in our Technology Products segment. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, research and development expenses increased to $143,182 as compared to $109,172 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The increase was mostly due to market adjustments to salary levels for technical staff. Management believes that continual enhancements of the Company's existing products are required to enable the Company to maintain its current competitive position.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES:

Selling, General and administrative ("SG&A") expenses consist primarily of expenses for management, fringe benefits, indirect overhead, labor costs of billable technical staff not charged to a project or contract, finance, administrative personnel, legal, accounting, consulting fees, sales commissions, marketing, facilities costs, corporate overhead and depreciation expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, SG&A expenses decreased to $1,239,801 from $1,436,837 in the comparable period prior year. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A was 29.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 versus 38.5% in the comparable period a year ago. The decrease in expense was mainly attributable to nonrecurring litigation costs included in the prior year period .

AMORTIZATION EXPENSES:

Non-cash amortization expenses related to intangible assets acquired in the acquisitions of RTI and SMEI are stated separately in our statement of operations.. Amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $299,248 compared to $372,057 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease is attributed to certain intangibles being fully amortized in 2008 and an impairment charge to the carrying value of intangibles taken in the 4th quarter of 2008..

INTEREST EXPENSE:

Interest Expense increased to $48,121 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $30,625 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Interest expense in 2009 was comprised primarily of interest charges on its revolving line-of-credit and short term notes. The increase is attributed to higher interest rate we pay on our line of credit versus prior year level combined with interest expense incurred on the $750,000 note with the former owners of RTI.

NET INCOME:

The Company's net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $172,154 compared to net income of $4,249,833 for the three months ended June 30, 2008.It should be noted that the net income in the year ago quarter included non-cash derivative income of $2,374,923 and a gain on extinguishment of $2,607,525 related to the exchange of Preferred Series C Stock for outstanding warrants held by Barron Partners L.P. Excluding these amounts, the year ago net income adjusts to a net loss of $730,000

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2009 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008

REVENUES:

Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2009 increased by $655,590 or 9.0% to $7,974,583 compared to $7,318,993 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Our Goverment Services segment which represents revenues from professional engineering services to Federal government Dept of Defense (DoD) agencies accounted for 92% of total revenues. The increase was mainly attributable to a formula based price increase on our cost plus contracts which is based on our projected indirect overhead costs relative to our direct labor costs. Cost plus contracts accounted for approximately 80% of our government service revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

GROSS MARGIN:

Gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $2,533,574, an increase of $385,647or 18% compared to the $2,147,927 for six months ended June 30, 2008. Gross margin, as a percentage of revenues, increased to 31.8% from 29.3% for the same period in 2008. The increase was mainly attributable to the rate increase on our cost plus contract vehicles and higher margin on our subcontractor revenues partially offset by an unfavorable shift in revenue mix towards subcontractor revenues relative to direct labor or in-house revenues. Lower margin subcontractor revenues as a percentage of our total government services revenue was 54% versus 51% in the prior period.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES:

Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related personnel costs, and consulting fees associated with product development in our Technology Products segment. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, research and development expenses increased to $295,577 as compared to $217,657 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The increase was mostly due to market level adjustments to salaries for technical staff. Management believes that continual enhancements of the Company's existing products are required to enable the Company to maintain its current competitive position.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES:

Selling, General and administrative ("SG&A") expenses consist primarily of expenses for management, fringe benefits, indirect overhead, finance, administrative personnel, legal, accounting, consulting fees, sales commissions, marketing, facilities costs, corporate overhead and depreciation expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, SG&A expenses decreased to $2,361,793 from $2,551,383 in the comparable period prior year. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A was 29.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 versus 34.9% in the comparable period a year ago. The decrease in expense was mainly attributable to nonrecurring litigation and integration expenses incurred in the prior year period partially offset by an increase in selling and marketing costs .

AMORTIZATION EXPENSES:

Non-cash amortization expenses related to intangible assets acquired in the acquisitions of RTI and SMEI are stated separately in our statement of operations.. Amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $598,496 compared to $740,458 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease is attributable to certain intangibles being fully amortized in 2008 and reduced amortization expense as a result of an impairment charge to the carrying value of intangibles taken in the 4th quarter of 2008.

INTEREST EXPENSE:

Interest Expense increased to $124,312 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $81,446 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Interest expense in 2009 was comprised primarily of interest charges on its revolving line-of-credit and short term notes. The increase is attributed to higher interest rate we pay on our line of credit versus prior year level combined with interest expense incurred on the $750,000 note with the former RTI shareholders.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Going concern considerations:

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The going concern basis was due to the Company’s historical negative operating cash flow and losses. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 we had negative cash flows from operations of $369.162 and the Company’s working capital deficiency at June 30, 2009 was $829,493 including non-cash derivative liabilities of $264,676. These conditions raise doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to improve near term operating performance; continued availability under its line of credit financing and its ability to raise alternative financing in a difficult credit environment.

On July 17, 2009, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Ricciardi Technologies, Inc. (“RTI”), entered into a Financing and Security Agreement (the “Action Agreement”) with Action Capital Corporation (“Action Capital”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Action Agreement, Action Capital agreed to provide the Company with advances of up to 90% of the net amount of certain acceptable account receivables of the Company (the “Acceptable Accounts”). An acceptable receivable is one that is approved by Action Capital and less than 90 days old. The maximum amount eligible to be advanced to the Company by Action Capital under the Action Agreement is $3,000,000. The Company shall pay Action Capital interest on the advances outstanding under the Action Agreement equal to the prime rate of Wachovia Bank, N.A. in effect on the last business day of the prior month plus 1%. In addition, the Company shall pay a monthly fee to Action Capital equal to 0.75% of the outstanding balance at the end of the month.

Pursuant to the Action Agreement, the Company granted Action Capital a security interest in certain assets of the Company including all accounts, accounts receivable, contract rights, rebates and books and records pertaining to the foregoing. To date the Company has borrowed approximately $1,000,000 against the line of credit.

Working capital and other activities:

The Company’s working capital deficiency as of June 30, 2009 amounts to $829,493 compared to a deficiency of $401,614 as of December 31, 2008. Included in the deficiency was $264,676 and $200,606 of non-cash derivative liabilities respectively. Excluding non-cash derivative liabilities, at June 30, 2009 current assets of $4,475,619 compared to current liabilities of $5,040,436.

For the six month period ended June 30, 2009, cash and cash equivalents decreased to $171,245 from $1,363,130 at December 31, 2008 primarily due to the repayment of approximately $1,458,000 debt outstanding on the Private Bank line of credit facility.

Net cash used in operating activities was $369,162 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to net cash used for operating activities of $711,624 in the corresponding six month period ended June 30, 2008.

Due to an increase in our transaction based sale contracts in our Telecom business we entered into a capital lease agreement to purchase approximately $130,000 in equipment. The payments terms are $5,196 per month for 32 months and a $1,00 buy-out at the end of the lease term.

Net cash used by financing activities was $789,950 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to net cash provided by financing of $574,611 in the corresponding six months ended June 30, 2008.

Non-current liabilities at June 30, 2009 totaled $1,221,626 compared to $1,866,798 at December 31, 2008. The decrease is primarily due to an increase in the current maturities of $375,000 on the $750,000 note due to the former owners of Ricciardi Technologies combined with a decrease in deferred tax liabilities of $326,000 from $1,200,000 to $874,000

We have principal coming due in the next twelve months totaling $562,500 on the $750,000 note with the former RTI owners. Monthly principal payments of $62,500 per month will start in October 2009. Additionally, we have payments totalling approximately $120,000 coming due on short term notes payable, monthly ranging from $7,000-$11,000. The Company is highly dependent on increasing its cashflows from operations over the next twelve months and maintaining availability on its line of credit facility to satisfy these payments and to cover interest costs on its debt.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS:

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenue, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

N/A.

ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were not effective such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud if any, within a company have been detected.

Management has determined that, as of June 30, 2009, there were material weaknesses in both the design and effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Management has assessed these deficiencies and determined that there were weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. As a result of our assessment that material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting existed as of June 30, 2009, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2009. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting and our disclosure controls and procedures are related to the limited financial backgrounds of our management and a lack of segregation of duties due to the size of our accounting department. When our financial position improves, we intend to hire additional personnel to remedy such deficiencies.

Changes in internal control

Our management, with the participation our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation as to whether any change in our internal controls over financial reporting occurred during the 2009 Quarter ended June 30, 2009. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that no change occurred in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the 2009 Quarter ended June 30, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
