                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:


Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial  statements and accompanying notes.
Due to the inherent nature of those estimates,  actual results could differ from
expectations.

Basis of Presentation

Trimble has a 52-53 week fiscal year,  ending on the Friday  nearest to December
31, which for fiscal 2003 was January 2, 2004.  Fiscal 2002 was a 53-week  year.
The financial results of fiscal year 2002 have an extra week, and therefore will
not be exactly  comparable  to the prior and  subsequent  52-week  fiscal years.
Fiscal year 2001 comprised 52 weeks.

The  consolidated  financial  statements  include the results of Trimble and its
subsidiaries.  Inter-company  accounts and  transactions  have been  eliminated.
Certain  amounts  from  prior  years  have been  reclassified  to conform to the
current year presentation.

Foreign Currency

Assets and liabilities of the Company's non-US  subsidiaries are translated into
US dollars at year-end  exchange rates, and revenues and expenses are translated
at average rates prevailing  during the year. Local currencies are considered to
be the functional currencies for the Company's non-US subsidiaries.  Translation
adjustments are included in  shareholders'  equity in the  consolidated  balance
sheet caption  "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)." Foreign currency
transaction  gains and losses are included in results of  operations as incurred
and have not been significant to the Company's  operating  results in any fiscal
year  presented.  The effect of foreign  currency  rate changes on cash and cash
equivalents  is not material.  Cumulative  translation  adjustment  increased by
approximately  $31.2 million due to weakening US dollar against other currencies
affecting the translation of our assets dominated in non-US currencies.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash  equivalents  include all cash and highly liquid  investments with
insignificant  interest rate risk and  maturities of three months or less at the
date of purchase. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents  approximates
fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

Concentration of Risk

In entering into forward  foreign  exchange  contracts,  Trimble has assumed the
risk that might arise from the possible inability of counter-parties to meet the
terms of their  contracts.  The  counter-parties  to these  contracts  are major
multinational  investment and commercial  banks, and the Company does not expect
any losses as a result of counter-party defaults (see Note 6 of the Notes to the
Consolidated Financial  Statements).  The Company is also exposed to credit risk
in the  Company's  trade  receivables,  which are derived from sales to end user
customers  in  diversified  industries  as well as  various  resellers.  Trimble
performs ongoing credit  evaluations of its customers'  financial  condition and
limits the amount of credit  extended when deemed  necessary but generally  does
not require collateral.

With the  selection  of  Solectron  Corporation  in August 1999 as an  exclusive
manufacturing partner for many of its GPS products, Trimble became substantially
dependent upon a sole supplier for the  manufacture of many of its products.  In
addition,  the Company  relies on sole  suppliers  for a number of its  critical
components.



Many of  Trimble's  products  use GPS as the  positioning  technology.  GPS is a
system of 24 orbiting  satellites  established  and funded by the US Government,
which has been fully  operational  since March 1995. A significant  reduction in
the number of operating  satellites  would impair the current utility of the GPS
system  and the  growth of  current  and  additional  market  opportunities.  In
addition,  the US  Government  may not remain  committed  to the  operation  and
maintenance  of GPS  satellites  over a long  period,  and the  policy of the US
Government for the use of GPS without charge may change.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Trimble  maintains   allowances  for  doubtful  accounts  for  estimated  losses
resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments.

Trimble evaluates the collectibility of its trade accounts receivable based on a
number of  factors.  In  circumstances  where the Company is aware of a specific
customer's  inability  to meet  its  financial  obligations  to the  Company,  a
specific  allowance  for bad debts is estimated  and recorded  which reduces the
recognized  receivable to the estimated  amount Trimble believes will ultimately
be collected.  In addition to specific customer  identification of potential bad
debts,  bad debt charges are recorded  based on the  Company's  recent past loss
history and an overall assessment of past due trade accounts  receivable amounts
outstanding.  The amount was not  significant  in fiscal  2003 and the  expenses
recorded for doubtful accounts were $5.4 million in fiscal 2002 and $5.1 million
in fiscal 2001.

Inventories

Inventories  are stated at the lower of standard cost or market (net  realizable
value).  Standard costs  approximate  average  actual costs.  The Company uses a
standard  cost  accounting  system to value  inventory  and these  standards are
reviewed  at a  minimum  of once a year  and  multiple  times a year in the most
active  manufacturing  plants.  The Company provides for the inventory value for
estimated  excess and obsolete  inventory,  based on management's  assessment of
future  demand  and  market  conditions.  If  actual  future  demand  or  market
conditions  are less favorable  than those  projected by management,  additional
inventory write-downs may be required.

Intangible and Non-Current Assets

Intangible assets include goodwill, assembled workforce,  distribution channels,
patents,  licenses,  technology,  and trademarks  which are capitalized at cost.
Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized on the straight-line  basis.
Useful lives  generally  range from five to seven years,  with weighted  average
useful life of 5.7 years.  Prior to December  29, 2001,  goodwill was  amortized
over 20  years,  except  for  goodwill  from the Grid Data  purchase,  which was
amortized over five years.

If facts and circumstances indicate that the goodwill,  other intangible assets,
or property and  equipment may be impaired,  an  evaluation of continuing  value
would  be  performed.  If  an  evaluation  is  required,  the  estimated  future
undiscounted  cash flows associated with these assets would be compared to their
carrying  amount to determine if a write-down to fair market value or discounted
cash flow value is required.  Trimble  performed an impairment  test of goodwill
upon  transition to FAS No. 142 on December 29, 2001,  and an annual  impairment
test at the end of the third fiscal quarter of 2002 and 2003, respectively,  and
found no  impairment.  Trimble  will  continue  to  evaluate  its  goodwill  for
impairment  on an  annual  basis at the end of each  fiscal  third  quarter  and
whenever  events and changes in  circumstances  suggest that the carrying amount
may not be recoverable.

Trimble  adopted SFAS No. 142 on December 29, 2001. As a result,  goodwill is no
longer amortized and intangible  assets with indefinite lives were  reclassified
to goodwill.

Revenue Recognition

Trimble's  revenues are recorded in accordance  with the Securities and Exchange
Commission's   (SEC)  Staff   Accounting   Bulletin  (SAB)  No.  104,   "Revenue
Recognition." The Company recognizes product revenue when persuasive evidence of
an arrangement exists,  delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable,
and collectibility is reasonably assured. In instances where final acceptance of
the product is specified by the  customer or is  uncertain,  revenue is deferred
until all acceptance criteria have been met.



Revenues from purchased  extended  warranty and support  agreements are deferred
and  recognized   ratably  over  the  term  of  the   warranty/support   period.
Substantially  all  technology  licenses and research  revenue have consisted of
initial license fees and royalties,  which were recognized when earned, provided
we had no remaining obligations.

Contracts  and customer  purchase  orders are  generally  used to determine  the
existence of an arrangement.  Shipping documents and customer  acceptance,  when
applicable, are used to verify delivery. The Company assesses whether the fee is
fixed or determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction
and  whether  the sales  price is subject to refund or  adjustment.  The Company
assesses  collectibility based primarily on the creditworthiness of the customer
as determined by credit checks and analysis,  as well as the customer's  payment
history.

Trimble's shipment terms for US orders, and international  orders fulfilled from
its European  distribution  center are  typically  FCA (Free  Carrier)  shipping
point,  except  certain  sales to US government  agencies  which are shipped FOB
destination.  FCA shipping  point means that Trimble  fulfills the obligation to
deliver when the goods are handed over,  cleared for export, and into the charge
of the  carrier  named by the buyer at the named  place or point.  If no precise
point is  indicated by the buyer,  Trimble may choose  within the place or range
stipulated where the carrier will take the goods into carrier's charge. Shipping
and handling costs are included in the cost of goods sold.

Other  international  orders are  shipped  FOB  destination,  which  means these
international  orders  are not  recognized  as  revenue  until  the  product  is
delivered  and title has  transferred  to the buyer or FCA shipping  point.  FOB
destination  means that  Trimble  bears all costs and risks of loss or damage to
the goods up to that point.

Revenue to distributors and resellers is recognized upon delivery,  assuming all
other criteria for revenue recognition have been met. Distributors and resellers
do not have a right of return.

When a sale involves  multiple  elements the entire fee from the  arrangement is
allocated  to each  respective  element  based on its  relative  fair  value and
recognized  when  revenue  recognition  criteria  for each  element are met. The
amount of product revenue  allocated to an individual  element is limited to the
lesser of its relative fair value or the amount not  contingent on the Company's
delivery of other elements under the arrangement,  regardless of the probability
of the Company's performance.

Trimble's  software  arrangements  generally  consist of a license  fee and post
contract  customer  support  (PCS).  Trimble  has  established   vendor-specific
objective  evidence  (VSOE)  of fair  value for its PCS  contracts  based on the
renewal rate.  The remaining  value of the software  arrangement is allocated to
the license fee using the residual method, which revenue is primarily recognized
when the software  has been  delivered  and there are no remaining  obligations.
Revenue from PCS is recognized ratably over the term of the PCS agreement.

Support and Warranty

The warranty  periods for the Company's  products are generally  between one and
three  years from date of  shipment.  Selected  military  programs  may  require
extended warranty periods up to 5.5 years, certain TDS products have a five year
or 90-day warranty period,  and certain Nikon products have a five year warranty
period.  Trimble supports its GPS products  through a circuit board  replacement
program from locations in the United  Kingdom,  Germany,  Japan,  and the United
States.  The repair and calibration of Trimble's  non-GPS products are available
from company- owned or authorized facilities. The Company reimburses dealers and
distributors for all authorized warranty repairs they perform.

While the Company engages in extensive  product quality  programs and processes,
including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of component suppliers,
its warranty  obligation is affected by product  failure rates,  material usage,
and service  delivery  costs  incurred in correcting a product  failure.  Should
actual product failure rates,  material usage, or service  delivery costs differ
from the  estimates,  revisions to the  estimated  warranty  accrual and related
costs may be required.

Changes in the Company's product warranty liability during the 12 months,  ended
January 2, 2004 and January 3, 2003, are as follows:



                                         January 2,      January 3,

                                       ==========       ==========

Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others

In addition to product warranties, the Company, from time to time, in the normal
course  of  business,  indemnifies  other  parties  with  whom  it  enters  into
contractual  relationships,  including customers,  lessors, and parties to other
transactions with the Company,  with respect to certain matters. The Company has
agreed to hold the other party harmless against specified losses,  such as those
arising from a breach of representations  or covenants,  third party claims that
the Trimble's  products  when used for their  intended  purpose(s)  infringe the
intellectual  property  rights of such third party or other  claims made against
certain parties. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount of
liability under these indemnification  obligations due to the limited history of
prior  indemnification  claims and the unique facts and  circumstances  that are
likely to be involved in each particular claim.  Historically,  payments made by
the Company under these  obligations  were not material and no liabilities  have
been recorded for these  obligations on the balance sheets as of January 2, 2004
and January 3, 2003.

Advertising Costs

Trimble  expenses  advertising  costs as  incurred.  Advertising  expenses  were
approximately $9.2 million, $6.3 million, and $6.8 million in fiscal 2003, 2002,
and 2001, respectively.

Research and Development Costs

Research  and  development  costs are  charged to expense as  incurred.  Trimble
received third party funding of approximately  $4.9 million,  $5.3 million,  and
$4.1 million in fiscal 2003, 2002, and 2001,  respectively.  The Company offsets
research and development expenses with any third party funding received.

The Company retains the rights to any technology developed.

Stock Compensation

In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123 ("SFAS 123"),  "Accounting for Stock-Based  Compensation" and "Statement
of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 148"  ("SFAS  148"),  "Accounting  for
Stock-Based   Compensation  -  Transition  and   Disclosure,"   Trimble  applies
Accounting  Principles  Board  Opinion No. 25,  "Accounting  for Stock Issued to
Employees"  ("APB 25") and related  interpretations  in accounting for its stock
option  plans  and  stock  purchase  plan.  Accordingly,  the  Company  does not
recognize compensation cost for stock options granted at fair market value. Note
13 of the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  describe  the plans  operated by
Trimble.

For purposes of pro forma  disclosures,  the estimated fair value of the options
is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period, and the estimated fair
value of purchases  under the employee  stock  purchase  plan is expensed in the
year of purchase as well as the stock-based  employee  compensation cost, net of
related tax effects,  that would have been included in the  determination of net
income if the fair value  based  method  had been  applied  to all  awards.  The
effects on pro forma  disclosure  of applying  SFAS No. 123 are not likely to be
representative of the effects on pro forma disclosure of future years.

Pro forma information  regarding net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share
is required by SFAS No. 123 and has been  determined as if Trimble had accounted
for its employee stock options and purchases under the employee stock purchase



plan  using the fair  value  method  of SFAS  No.123.  The fair  value for these
options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes  option-pricing
model with the following weighted-average assumptions for fiscal 2003, 2002, and
2001:

                                          January 2,   January 3,  December 28,
                                             2004        2003          2001
                                             ----        ----          ----

Expected dividend yield                        -            -            -
Expected stock price volatility            59.87%       52.70%       69.59%
Risk free interest rate                     3.34%        3.13%        4.15%
Expected life of options after vesting      1.56         1.18         1.20


The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the
fair value of traded  options  that have no vesting  restrictions  and are fully
transferable.  In addition,  option valuation models require the input of highly
subjective  assumptions  including the expected stock price volatility.  Because
Trimble's employee stock options have  characteristics  significantly  different
from  those of traded  options,  and  because  changes in the  subjective  input
assumptions  can  materially  affect the fair value  estimate,  in  management's
opinion,  the  existing  models do not  necessarily  provide a  reliable  single
measure of its employee stock options.

Trimble's pro forma information is as follows:



                                                      January 2,     January 3,      December 28,

Depreciation

Depreciation  of property and  equipment  owned or under  capitalized  leases is
computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful
lives or the lease terms. Useful lives include a range from two to six years for
machinery and  equipment,  five years for  furniture  and fixtures,  two to five
years  for  computer  equipment  and  software,  and the life of the  lease  for
leasehold improvements.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the liability  method whereby  deferred tax
asset or liability  account  balances are  calculated  at the balance sheet date
using current tax laws and rates in effect for the year in which the differences
are  expected to affect  taxable  income.  A valuation  allowance is recorded to
reduce the  carrying  amounts of  deferred  tax assets if it is more likely than
not, that such assets will not be realized.





Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Number of shares used in calculation of basic earnings per share  represents the
weighted  average common shares  outstanding  during the period and excludes any
dilutive effects of options,  warrants, and convertible securities. The dilutive
effects of options, warrants, and convertible securities are included in diluted
earnings  per  share.  (See  Note 21 to the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements

New Accounting Standards

In November of 2002,  the EITF reached a consensus on Issue No. 00-21,  "Revenue
Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables." EITF Issue No. 00-21 provides guidance
on how to account for  arrangements  that involve the delivery or performance of
multiple products,  services and/or rights to use assets. The provisions of EITF
Issue No. 00-21 apply to revenue arrangements entered into after June, 2003. The
effect of adoption of EITF Issue No.  00-21 on Trimble's  results of  operations
and financial condition was immaterial.

Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board (FASB)  Interpretation  No. 46 (FIN 46),
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities," was issued in January 2003, and a
revised  interpretation of FIN 46 (FIN 46-R) was issued in December 2003. FIN 46
requires  certain variable  interest  entities to be consolidated by the primary
beneficiary of the entity if the equity  investors in the entity do not have the
characteristics  of a controlling  financial  interest or do not have sufficient
equity at risk for the  entity to  finance  its  activities  without  additional
subordinated  financial support from other parties. The provisions of FIN 46 are
effective  immediately for all arrangements entered into after January 31, 2003.
Since January 31, 2003,  Trimble has not obtained any variable  interests in any
entities it believes are variable interest  entities.  For arrangements  entered
into  prior to  February  1,  2003,  Trimble  would  be  required  to adopt  the
provisions  of FIN 46-R in the first  quarter of fiscal 2004.  Trimble is in the
process of determining the effect, if any, the adoption of FIN 46-R will have on
its financial statements.

In April 2003,  the FASB issued SFAS No. 149,  "Amendment  of  Statement  133 on
Derivative  Instruments  and  Hedging  Activities."  SFAS  No.  149  amends  and
clarifies  financial  accounting  and  reporting  for  derivative   instruments,
including   certain   derivative   instruments   embedded  in  other   contracts
(collectively  referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under SFAS
No. 133,  "Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging  Activities." SFAS
No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003,
and for hedging  relationships  designated  after June 30, 2003. The adoption of
this Statement did not have an effect on Trimble's financial statements.

In May 2003,  the FASB issued SFAS No. 150,  "Accounting  for Certain  Financial
Instruments with  Characteristics  of Both Liabilities and Equity." SFAS No. 150
establishes  standards  for  how  an  issuer  classifies  and  measures  certain
financial  instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. Many
of these  instruments  were  previously  classified  as equity.  SFAS No. 150 is
effective for financial  instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003
and  otherwise  was  effective  at the  beginning  of the first  interim  period
beginning  after June 15,  2003,  which for Trimble,  was the fourth  quarter of
2003.  The  adoption  of this  Statement  did not have an  effect  on  Trimble's
financial statements.

Grid Data, Inc.

On April 2, 2001,  Trimble  acquired  certain  assets of Grid  Data,  an Arizona
corporation,  for  approximately  $3.5  million  in cash and the  assumption  of
certain liabilities. In addition, the purchase agreement provided for Trimble to
make earn-out payments based upon the completion of certain business milestones.
In June 2002, Trimble issued 402,528 shares of common stock in settlement of all
earn-out payments, which resulted in additional goodwill of $4.8 million, with a
final purchase price of approximately $8.3 million.

LeveLite Technology, Inc.

On August 15, 2002,  Trimble acquired  LeveLite  Technology,  Inc., a California
corporation,   for  approximately  $5.7  million.   This  strategic  acquisition
complements  Trimble's  entry-level  construction  instrument  product line. The
purchase price consisted of 655,626 shares of common stock. The merger agreement
provides  for Trimble to make  additional  earn-out  payments not to exceed $3.9
million (in common stock and cash payment) based on future revenues derived from
existing  product  sales  to a  certain  customer  and a share  of the  payments
received from the settlement of potential litigation. As of January 2, 2004, the
total earn-out  amount was  approximately  $1.8 million  resulting in additional
goodwill and a final purchase price of approximately $7.5 million.

Applanix Corporation

* On July 7, 2003,  Trimble  acquired  privately  held Applanix  Corporation  of
Ontario, Canada for approximately $17.8 million.  Applanix develops systems that
integrate  inertial  navigation system (INS) and GPS technologies.  The purchase
price  consisted of 1,154,240  shares of Trimble common stock,  of which 720,404
were  issued.  Former  Applanix  shareholders  have  the  right to  receive  the
remaining  433,836  shares  of  Trimble  common  stock  upon  the  surrender  of
exchangeable  shares of a  Trimble  subsidiary.  Trimble  expects  the  Applanix
acquisition to extend its technology  portfolio and enable increased  robustness
and capabilities in its future positioning products.  Applanix's  performance is
reported under the Company's Portfolio Technologies segment. Trimble's allocated
a portion of the purchase price to existing technology, which is being amortized
over seven years.



MENSI S.A.

On December 9, 2003, we acquired  privately held MENSI S.A., a French  developer
of terrestrial 3D laser scanning  technology.  This strategic  acquisition  will
enhance our technology portfolio and expand our product offerings.  The purchase
price  consisted of an initial cash  payment of  approximately  Euro 3.5 million
(approximately  US$4.3 million on December 9, 2003).  The acquisition  agreement
provides for Trimble to make  additional  earn-out  cash  payments not to exceed
Euro 3 million  (approximately  US$3.7  million on  December  9, 2003)  based on
future revenue derived from existing product sales. The additional payments,  if
earned,  will result in additional  goodwill.  MENSI's  performance  is reported
under our Engineering and Construction segment.

NOTE 3 - Joint Ventures:

Caterpillar Trimble Control Technologies Joint Venture

On April 1, 2002, Caterpillar Trimble Control Technologies LLC ("CTCT"), a joint
venture  formed by Trimble and  Caterpillar  began  operations.  CTCT,  based in
Dayton,  Ohio, is 50% owned by Trimble and 50% owned by Caterpillar,  with equal
voting  rights.  It develops and markets  next  generation  advanced  electronic
guidance and control  products  for  earthmoving  machines in the  construction,
mining,  and waste industries.  Under the terms of the joint venture  agreement,
Caterpillar contributed $11.0 million cash plus selected technology, for a total
contributed value of $14.5 million,  and Trimble  contributed  selected existing
machine control product technologies valued at $25.5 million. Additionally, both
companies  have  licensed  patents and other  intellectual  property  from their
portfolios to CTCT. During the first fiscal quarter of 2002,  Trimble received a
special cash distribution of $11.0 million from CTCT.

Trimble has recorded the cash  distribution of $11.0 million as a deferred gain,
being amortized to the extent that losses are  attributable  from CTCT under the
equity  method of  accounting.  When and if CTCT is  profitable on a sustainable
basis,  and future  operating  losses are not  anticipated,  then  Trimble  will
recognize  as a gain,  the  un-amortized  portion of the $11.0  million.  To the
extent  that it is  possible  that the  Company  will  have  any  future-funding
obligation  relating to CTCT, then the relevant amount of the $11.0 million will
be deferred until such a time, as the funding obligation no longer exists.  Both
Trimble's share of profits (losses) under the equity method and the amortization
of the $11.0 million  deferred  gain are recorded  under the heading of "Expense
for affiliated operations, net" in Non-operating income (expense).

The expenses for affiliated  operations at CTCT,  net also includes  incremental
costs as a result  of  purchasing  products  from  CTCT at a higher  price  than
Trimble's   original   manufacturing   costs,   partially   offset  by  contract
manufacturing fees charged to CTCT. In addition,  Trimble received reimbursement
of  employee-related  costs  from CTCT for  Trimble  employees  devoted  to CTCT
totaling  $7.9  million  in fiscal  2003 and $3.9  million in fiscal  2002.  The
reimbursements were offset against operating expenses.

                                                         January 2,  January 3,

 (1) Due to the nature of the  relationship  between Trimble and CTCT, a related
party, the impact of these agreements is classified under  non-operating  income

At January 2, 2004,  the net  outstanding  balance  due from CTCT to Trimble was
approximately $0.8 million.



Nikon-Trimble Joint Venture

On March 28, 2003,  Trimble and Nikon  Corporation  entered into an agreement to
form a joint  venture in Japan,  Nikon-Trimble  Co.,  Ltd.,  which  assumed  the
operations  of  Nikon  Geotecs  Co.,  Ltd.,  a  Japanese   subsidiary  of  Nikon
Corporation   and  Trimble   Japan  KK,  a  Japanese   subsidiary   of  Trimble.
Nikon-Trimble began operations in July 2003.

Under the terms of the Nikon-Trimble agreement, Nikon contributed (Y)1.2 billion
(approximately   US$10  million  on  June  30,  2003)  in  cash,  while  Trimble
contributed  (Y)500 million  (approximately  US$4.1 million on June 30, 2003) in
cash and  (Y)700  million  of its  common  stock or  349,251  shares  valued  at
approximately  US$5.9 million on June 30, 2003. The Nikon-Trimble  joint venture
purchased  certain  tangible and intangible  assets from Nikon Geotecs Co., Ltd.
and Trimble Japan KK.

Nikon-Trimble is 50% owned by Trimble and 50% owned by Nikon,  with equal voting
rights.  It  focuses  on the design and  manufacture  of  surveying  instruments
including  mechanical total stations and related products.  In Japan, this joint
venture will distribute  Nikon's survey products as well as Trimble's GPS survey
products and other  Engineering and  Construction  products,  including  robotic
total  stations.  Outside Japan,  Trimble is the exclusive  distributor of Nikon
survey and construction products.

Trimble  has adopted  the equity  method of  accounting  for its  investment  in
Nikon-Trimble,  with 50% share of profit or loss from this  joint  venture to be
reported by Trimble in the Non-operating  section of the Consolidated  Statement
of Operations  under the heading of "Expenses for affiliated  operations,  net."
During fiscal 2003, and the first year of its operations, Nikon-Trimble reported
a loss of $0.6 million of which Trimble's  share is $0.3 million.  At January 2,
2004,  the   outstanding   balance  from   Nikon-Trimble   due  to  Trimble  was
approximately  $1.4  million  related to the  transfer of certain  tangible  and
intangible assets from Trimble Japan KK, recorded under the heading of "Accounts
and  other  receivables,  net"  and $2.0  million  net  payable  by  Trimble  to
Nikon-Trimble  related  to  the  purchase  and  sale  of  products  from  and to
Nikon-Trimble  recorded under the heading of "Other accrued  liabilities" on the
Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 6 - Derivative Financial Instruments:

Trimble transacts  business in various foreign  currencies and hedges identified
risks  associated  with foreign  currency  transactions in order to minimize the
impact of  changes in  foreign  currency  exchange  rates on  earnings.  Trimble
utilizes forward contracts to hedge certain trade and inter-company  receivables
and payables.  These  contracts  reduce the exposure to fluctuations in exchange
rate  movements,  as the gains  and  losses  associated  with  foreign  currency
balances are generally  offset with the gains and losses on the hedge  contracts
and are marked to market through  earnings every period and generally range from
one to three months in original maturity.  These hedge instruments are marked to
market through  earnings every period.  Gains and losses are not material to the
Company's financial position or results of operation.

From time to time,  Trimble may also utilize forward foreign exchange  contracts
designated  as cash flow hedges of  operational  exposures  represented  by firm
backlog  orders to specific  accounts  over a specific  period of time.  Trimble



records  changes  in the fair  value of cash flow  hedges in  accumulated  other
comprehensive  income (loss),  until the firm backlog  transaction  ships.  Upon
recognition of revenue,  the Company  reclassifies  the gain or loss on the cash
flow hedge to the statement of operations.  For the fiscal year ended January 3,
2003,  Trimble  recorded a gain of $57,000  reflecting the net change and ending
balance in relation to a firm backlog hedge. The critical terms of the cash flow
hedging instruments are the same as the underlying forecasted transactions.  The
changes in fair value of the  derivatives  are intended to offset changes in the
expected cash flow from the forecasted transactions.  All forward contracts have
maturity  of less than 12  months.  As of  January  3,  2003,  the effect of all
outstanding  derivative  instruments  did  not  have a  material  impact  on the
Company's  financial  position or results of operations and none are outstanding
as of January 2, 2004.

Note 7 - The Company, Industry Segment, Geographic, and Customer Information:

Trimble is a designer and distributor of positioning  products and  applications
enabled by GPS,  optical,  laser, and wireless  communications  technology.  The
Company  designs and markets  products,  by  delivering  integrated  information
solutions such as collecting, analyzing, and displaying position data to its end
users. Trimble offers an integrated product line for diverse applications in its
targeted markets.

To achieve  distribution,  marketing,  production,  and technology advantages in
Trimble's targeted markets,  the Company manages its operations in the following
five segments:

o        Engineering and Construction -- Consists of products  currently used by
         survey and construction professionals in the field for positioning data
         collection,  field computing,  data management,  and automated  machine
         guidance and control.  These  products  provide  solutions for numerous
         construction  applications  including surveying,  general construction,
         site  preparation and  excavation,  road and runway  construction,  and
         underground construction.

o        Field  Solutions -- Consists of products  that  provide  solutions in a
         variety of agriculture and fixed asset  applications,  primarily in the
         areas of precise land leveling,  machine  guidance,  yield  monitoring,
         variable-rate  applications  of fertilizers  and  chemicals,  and fixed
         asset  data  collection  for a  variety  of  governmental  and  private
         entities.  This segment is an aggregation of the mapping and geographic
         information  systems  (GIS) and  agriculture  businesses.  Trimble  has
         aggregated these business  operations under a single general manager in
         order to continue to leverage its research and  development  activities
         due to the similarities of products across the segment.

o        Mobile  Solutions  --  Consists  of  products  that enable end users to
         monitor   and   manage   their   mobile    assets   by    communicating
         location-relevant  information  from the field to the  office.  Trimble
         offers a range of  products  that  address a number of  sectors of this
         market including truck fleets, security,  telematics, and public safety
         vehicles.

o        Component Technologies -- Currently,  Trimble markets its GPS component
         products  through  an  extensive  network of OEM  relationships.  These
         products  include  proprietary  chipsets,  modules,  and a  variety  of
         intellectual  property. The applications into which end users currently
         incorporate the component  products  include:  timing  applications for
         synchronizing wireless and computer systems;  in-vehicle navigation and
         telematics (tracking) systems; fleet management; security systems; data
         collection networks; and wireless handheld consumer products.

o        Portfolio  Technologies  -- The various  operations  that comprise this
         segment were aggregated on the basis that no single operation accounted
         for more than 10% of the total  revenue.  During  the first two  fiscal
         quarters of 2003, this segment was comprised solely of the Military and
         Advanced Systems  business.  Beginning with the third quarter of fiscal
         2003, Applanix's performance is reported in this business segment.

At the  beginning  of  fiscal  2003,  Trimble  realigned  two of its  reportable
segments.  The Tripod Data Systems  business is now included in the  Engineering
and  Construction  segment,  while  previously  it was included in the Portfolio
Technologies  segment.  The  following  table has been  restated to reflect this
realignment.



Trimble  evaluates  each of its segment's  performance  and allocates  resources
based on profit and loss from operations before income taxes, and some corporate
allocations.  Trimble  and  each of its  segments  employ  the  same  accounting
policies.

The following table presents revenues, operating income (loss), and identifiable
assets for the five segments.  The  information  includes the operations of Grid
Data after April 2, 2001, LeveLite after August 15, 2002, Applanix after July 7,
2003 and MENSI after  December 9, 2003.  Operating  income (loss) is net revenue
less  operating  expenses,   excluding  general  corporate  expenses,   goodwill
amortization,  restructuring charges, non-operating income (expense), and income
taxes.  The  identifiable  assets that Trimble's Chief Operating  Decision Maker
views by segment are accounts receivable and inventory.

(1) Sales attributed to countries based on the location of the customer.

Transfers  between US and non-US  geographic  areas are made at prices  based on
total costs and  contributions  of the supplying  geographic area. The Company's
subsidiaries in Asia, except for Japan, which is a buy/sell entity, have derived
revenue from  commissions  from US operations in each of the periods  presented.
These  commission  revenues and expenses  are  excluded  from total  revenue and
operating income (loss) in the preceding table. The Japanese  entity's  revenues
and expenses are included in total  revenue and  operating  income (loss) in the
preceding table. In fiscal 2002, Germany comprised approximately 16% of sales to
unaffiliated customers. Other than the United States, no other country comprised
more than 10% of sales to  unaffiliated  customers  for any  periods  presented,
except as disclosed above.

No single  customer  accounted  for 10% or more of Trimble's  total  revenues in
fiscal years 2003, 2002, and 2001.



Note 8  - Restructuring Charges:

Restructuring charges of $2.0 million were recorded in fiscal 2003, $1.1 million
in fiscal  2002,  and $3.6  million  in fiscal  2001,  all of which  related  to
severance  costs,  except  for $0.3 in 2003  which  related  to  lease  costs of
Trimble's Japanese office closure due to the Nikon joint venture. As a result of
the restructuring  activities,  the Company's headcount decreased in fiscal 2003
by 77, 49 and 207 in fiscal 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively. As of January 2,
2004, the  restructuring  accrual balance was  approximately  $0.4 million which
will be paid over the remaining term of the lease through 2006.

Credit Facilities

On June 25, 2003, Trimble obtained a $175 million secured Credit Facility ("2003
Credit  Facility") from a syndicate of nine banks to repay the Subordinated Note
and refinance certain existing higher interest credit  facilities,  pay fees and
expenses  related to this new credit  facility,  and for ongoing working capital
and general corporate needs.

At January 2, 2004, Trimble had approximately  $87.8 million of borrowings under
the 2003  Credit  Facility,  comprised  of a $43.8  million  term loan and $44.0
million of a $125 million revolver.  The Company has access to an additional $81
million of cash under the terms of the revolving  credit  facility.  The Company
has  commitment  fees on the unused portion of 0.5% if the Leverage Ratio (which
is  defined  as  total   indebtedness  to  Earnings  before   Interest,   Taxes,
Depreciation and Amortization  (EBITDA), as defined in the related agreement) is
2.0 or greater and 0.375% if the Leverage Ratio is less than 2.0.

Pricing of interest for any borrowings  under the 2003 Credit Facility was fixed
for the first six  months at LIBOR  plus 175 basis  points  (1.5% at  January 2,
2004) and now is thereafter tied to a formula, based on the Leverage Ratio.

The Credit Facility is secured by all of the Company's  material assets,  except
for assets that are subject to foreign tax  considerations.  Financial covenants
of the 2003 Credit  Facility  include  leverage,  fixed charge,  and minimum net
worth tests.  At January 2, 2004,  Trimble was in compliance  with all financial
debt  covenants.  The  amount  due under the  revolver  loan is paid as the loan
matures on June 25, 2006, and the loan  commitment  fees are paid on a quarterly
basis.

Under the terms of the 2003  Credit  Facility,  the  Company  is  allowed to pay
dividends and  repurchase  shares of common stock up to 25% of net income in the
previous fiscal year, under the existing terms of the credit facilities.

In July of 2000,  Trimble  obtained  $200  million  of  senior,  secured  credit
facilities (the "2000 Credit Facility") from a syndicate of banks to support the
acquisition  of  Spectra   Precision  Group  and  its  ongoing  working  capital
requirements and to refinance certain existing debt. At January 3, 2003, Trimble
had  approximately  $67.6 million  outstanding  under the 2000 Credit  Facility,
comprised of $32.6 million under a $100 million five-year term loan, $25 million
under a $50 million US dollar only revolving credit facility  ("revolver"),  and
$10  million  under a $50  million  multi-currency  revolver.  The  Company  had
commitment fees on the unused portion of 0.5% assuming  certain ratios were met.
Pricing  for any  borrowings  under the 2000 Credit  Facility  was fixed for the
first six months at LIBOR plus 275 basis  points  and was  thereafter  tied to a
formula, based on the leverage ratio.

Due to the full repayment of the  Subordinated  Note and the  refinancing of the
2000  Credit  Facility,  the Company  wrote off  approximately  $3.6  million of
unamortized  debt  issuance  costs and warrants  issued in  connection  with the
Subordinated Note, as interest expense in fiscal 2003.

Subordinated Note

In July of 2000, as part of the  acquisition  of Spectra  Precision  Group,  the
Company issued  Spectra-Physics  Holdings USA, Inc., a subordinated  seller note
that had a stated two-year maturity. On March 20, 2002, the Company renegotiated
the terms of the subordinated note. Under the revised agreement, Spectra-Physics
Holdings,  Inc., a subsidiary of Thermo  Electron,  extended the due date of the
note until July 14, 2004, at the current  interest rate of  approximately  10.4%
per year.

As of January 3, 2003 the principal amount  outstanding was approximately  $69.1
million.  As  permitted  by  the  2000  Credit  Facility,   Trimble  repaid  the
subordinated note during fiscal 2003.

Promissory Note and Others

The  promissory  note and others  mainly  consists of a $1.7  million  liability
arising from the purchase of a building for Trimble's Corvallis, Oregon site and
other  government  loans in our foreign  subsidiaries.  The $1.7 million note is
payable in monthly  installments  through April 2015,  bearing a 3.99%  variable
interest rate as of January 2, 2004.






Weighted Average Cost of Debt

The weighted average cost of debt is approximately 2.9% for fiscal 2003 and 7.6%
for fiscal 2002.


Note 10 - Lease Obligations and Commitments:

Trimble's   principal   facilities   in  the  United  States  are  leased  under

The fair value of the subordinated notes, bank borrowings,  and promissory notes
have been  estimated  using an estimate of the interest  rate Trimble would have
had to pay on the issuance of notes with a similar  maturity and discounting the
cash flows at that rate. The fair values do not give an indication of the amount
that Trimble would currently have to pay to extinguish any of this debt.



The fair value of forward foreign  exchange  contracts is estimated based on the
difference  between  the  market  price and the  carrying  amount of  comparable
contracts. These contracts are adjusted to fair value at the end of every month.

The Company has US Federal credit  carryforwards of  approximately  $9.1 million
that expire  beginning in 2004. The Company has state  research and  development
credit carryforwards of approximately $10.4 million which do not expire.

The change in valuation allowance in 2003 includes net operating losses realized
as well as the  benefit  given to certain  deferred  tax assets in the amount of
$7.6 million based on  management's  assessment  that it is more likely than not
that such assets will be realized.  The valuation  allowance  decreased by $13.1
million  in 2003 and  decreased  by $3.1  million in 2002.  Approximately  $14.1
million  of the  valuation  allowance  at  January  2, 2004  relates  to the tax
benefits  of stock  option  deductions,  which will be credited to equity if and
when realized.

Note 13 - Shareholders' Equity:


3-for-2 Stock Split


Trimble's Board of Directors  approved a 3-for-2 split of all outstanding shares
of the Company's  Common Stock,  payable March 4, 2004 to stockholders of record
on February 17, 2004. Cash will be paid in lieu of fractional  shares. All share
and per share  information  have been  adjusted  to reflect the stock split on a
retroactive basis for all periods presented.


Common Stock

On April 14, 2003,  Trimble sold  3,148,000  shares of its Common Stock,  no par
value per share,  to an  investor  at a price of $12.17 per share in an offering
pursuant  to its shelf  registration  statement.  The  offering  resulted in net
proceeds to Trimble of approximately $36.6 million, approximately $31 million of
which was used to pay down the  principal  balance and $5.6  million was used to
pay down the accrued  interest due on the  Subordinated  Note (see Note 9 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements).

On December 21, 2001,  Trimble completed a private placement of 2,675,006 shares
of its  Common  Stock at a price  of  $10.00  per  share  to  certain  qualified
investors,  resulting in gross  proceeds of  approximately  $26.8 million to the
Company.  On January  15,  2002,  Trimble  had a second  closing of the  private
placement issuing 1,920,006 shares of Common Stock at $10.00 per share resulting
in gross proceeds of an additional $19.2 million.





2002 Stock Plan

In 2002, Trimble's Board of Directors adopted the 2002 Stock Plan ("2002 Plan").
The  2002  Plan  approved  by the  shareholders  provides  for the  granting  of
incentive and  non-statutory  stock options for up to 3,000,000  shares plus any
shares currently reserved but un-issued to employees, consultants, and directors
of Trimble.  Incentive  stock options may be granted at exercise prices that are
not less  than  100% of the fair  market  value of  Common  Stock on the date of
grant.  Employee stock options granted under the 2002 Plan have 120-month terms,
and  vest  at a rate of 20% at the  first  anniversary  of  grant,  and  monthly
thereafter  at an annual rate of 20%,  with full vesting  occurring at the fifth
anniversary  of the grant.  The exercise  price of  non-statutory  stock options
issued  under the 2002 Plan  must be at least  85% of the fair  market  value of
Common  Stock on the date of grant.  As of January 2, 2004,  options to purchase
2,326,742  shares were  outstanding  and 619,949 were available for future grant
under the 2002 Plan.

1993 Stock Option Plan

In 1992,  Trimble's Board of Directors adopted the 1993 Stock Option Plan ("1993
Plan"). The 1993 Plan, as amended to date and approved by shareholders, provides
for  the  granting  of  incentive  and  non-statutory  stock  options  for up to
9,562,500  shares of Common Stock to  employees,  consultants,  and directors of
Trimble.  Incentive stock options may be granted at exercise prices that are not
less than 100% of the fair  market  value of Common  Stock on the date of grant.
Employee  stock options  granted under the 1993 Plan have 120-month  terms,  and
vest at a rate of 20% at the first anniversary of grant, and monthly  thereafter
at an annual rate of 20%, with full vesting  occurring at the fifth  anniversary
of grant.  The exercise  price of  non-statutory  stock options issued under the
1993 Plan must be at least 85% of the fair market  value of Common  Stock on the
date of grant. As of January 2, 2004,  options to purchase 4,799,045 shares were
outstanding,  and 980,627  shares were available for future grant under the 1993
Plan.

1990 Director Stock Option Plan

In December  1990,  Trimble  adopted a Director Stock Option Plan under which an
aggregate of 570,000  shares of Common Stock have been  reserved for issuance to
non-employee  directors as approved by the  shareholders  to date. At January 2,
2004,  options to purchase 287,501 shares were  outstanding,  and no shares were
available for future grants under the Director Stock Option Plan.

1992 Management Discount Stock Option Plan

In 1992,  Trimble's  Board of Directors  approved the 1992  Management  Discount
Stock  Option  Plan  ("Discount   Plan").   Under  the  Discount  Plan,  450,000
non-statutory  stock options were reserved for grant to management  employees at
exercise prices that may be significantly  discounted from the fair market value
of Common Stock on the dates of grant.  Options are  generally  exercisable  six
months  from the date of grant.  As of  January  2,  2004,  there were no shares
available for future grants. For accounting purposes, compensation cost on these
grants is measured by the excess over the discounted exercise prices of the fair
market  value of  Common  Stock on the  dates of option  grants.  There  were no
discounted  options  granted in the plan in fiscal 2003,  2002,  and 2001. As of
January 2, 2004,  options to purchase 187,500 shares were outstanding  under the
1992 Management Discount Stock Option Plan.

1988 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In 1988,  Trimble  established  an employee  stock  purchase plan under which an
aggregate  of 5,025,000  shares of Common  Stock have been  reserved for sale to
eligible  employees as approved by the  shareholders  to date.  The plan permits
full-time  employees to purchase Common Stock through payroll  deductions at 85%
of the lower of the fair market value of the Common Stock at the beginning or at
the end of each  six-month  offering  period.  In fiscal 2003 and 2002,  328,044
shares  and  362,412  shares,  respectively,  were  issued  under  the  plan for
aggregate   proceeds  to  the  Company  of  $3.1   million  and  $2.9   million,
respectively.  At  January 2, 2004,  the  number of shares  reserved  for future
purchases by eligible employees was 428,216.






SFAS 123 Disclosures

As  stated  in Note 1 of the  Notes to the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements,
Trimble has elected to follow APB 25 and related  interpretations  in accounting
for its employee stock options and stock purchase plans.  The  alternative  fair
value  accounting  provided for under SFAS 123  requires  use of option  pricing
models that were not developed for use in valuing employee stock options.  Under
APB 25,  because the exercise  price of Trimble's  employee stock options equals
the  market  price of the  underlying  stock on date of grant,  no  compensation
expense is recognized.

Exercise prices for options outstanding as of January 2, 2004, ranged from $5.33
to $34.46.  The weighted average remaining  contractual life of those options is
6.91 years. In view of the wide range of exercise prices,  Trimble  considers it
appropriate  to  provide  the  following  additional  information  in respect of
options outstanding:

Non-statutory Options

On May 3, 1999,  Trimble  entered  into an  agreement  to grant a  non-statutory
option to purchase up to 45,000  shares of common stock at an exercise  price of
$6.50 per share, with an expiration date of March 29, 2004.

As of January 2, 2004, these non-statutory options have not been exercised.

Warrants

On April 12, 2002, the Company issued to  Spectra-Physics  Holdings USA, Inc., a
warrant to purchase up to 564,350 shares of Trimble's  Common Stock over a fixed
period of time.  Initially,  Spectra-Physics'  warrant  entitles  it to purchase
300,000  shares of Common Stock over a five-year  period at an exercise price of
$10.07 per share. On a quarterly basis beginning July 14, 2002, Spectra-Physics'
warrant  became  exercisable  for an  additional  375 shares of Common Stock for
every $1 million of principal and interest outstanding to Spectra-Physics  until
the  obligation  is paid off in full.  These shares are  purchasable  at a price
equal to the average of Trimble's  closing  price for the five days  immediately
preceding the last trading day of each  quarter.  On July 14, 2002 an additional
26,046 shares became  exercisable  at an exercise  price of $9.64 per share.  On
October 14, 2002 an additional  26,736 shares became  exercisable at an exercise
price of $6.12.  On  January  14,  2003,  an  additional  27,426  shares  became
exercisable  at an exercise  price of $9.03.  On April 14, 2003,  an  additional
14,312 shares became  exercisable at an exercise price of $13.37. The additional
shares are  exercisable  over a 5-year  period.  No  additional  shares  will be
issuable under the warrant to Spectra-Physics  as the underlying  obligation has
been paid off in full.

The approximate  fair value of the warrants of $2.4 million was determined using
the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: contractual life
of 5-year  period,  risk-free  interest  rate of 4%;  volatility  of 65%; and no
dividends  during the  contractual  term.  The value of the  warrants  was being
amortized  to interest  expense over the term of the  subordinated  note and the
unamortized  balances  was  written  off to  interest  expense on June 2003 upon
repayment of the note.

On December  21, 2001 and January 15,  2002,  in  connection  with the first and
second closing of the private  placement of the Company's Common Stock,  Trimble
granted  five-year  warrants to purchase an additional  919,008 shares of Common
Stock, subject to certain adjustments, at an exercise price of $12.97 per share.

Common Stock Reserved for Future Issuances

As of  January  2, 2004,  Trimble  had  reserved  11,371,652  common  shares for
issuance upon exercise of options and warrants outstanding and options available
for grant under the 2002 Plan,  the 1993 Plan,  the 1990 Director  Plan, and the
1992  Management  Discount  Plan,  and  available  for  issuance  under the 1988
Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Note 14 - Benefit Plans:

401(k) Plan

Under Trimble's 401(k) Plan, US employee  participants  (including  employees of
certain  subsidiaries)  may  direct the  investment  of  contributions  to their
accounts  among certain mutual funds and the Trimble  Navigation  Limited Common
Stock  Fund.  The  Trimble  Fund sold net 61,238  shares of Common  Stock for an
aggregate of $0.9 million in fiscal 2003.  Trimble,  at its discretion,  matches
individual  employee 401(k) Plan contributions at a rate of fifty cents of every
dollar  that  the  employee  contributes  to  the  401(k)  Plan  up to 5% of the
employee's  annual  salary to an annual  maximum of $2,500.  Trimble's  matching
contributions  to the 401(k) Plan were $1.8 million in fiscal 2003, $1.8 million
in fiscal 2002, and $1.7 million in fiscal 2001.

Profit-Sharing Plan

In 1995,  Trimble  introduced  an  employee  profit-sharing  plan in  which  all
employees,  excluding executives and certain levels of management,  participate.
The plan distributes to employees approximately 5% of quarterly adjusted pre-tax
income.  Payments  under the plan during  fiscal  2003,  2002 and 2001 were $2.5
million, $1.1 million, and $0.9 million, respectively.



Defined Contribution Pension Plans

Certain of the Company's  European  subsidiaries  participate in state sponsored
pension  plans.  Contributions  are based on specified  percentages  of employee
salaries.   For  these  plans,   Trimble  contributed  and  charged  to  expense
approximately  $2.0 million for fiscal 2003,  $1.4 million for fiscal 2002,  and
$1.4 million for fiscal 2001.

Defined Benefit Pension Plan

The Swedish and German  subsidiaries  have an unfunded  defined  benefit pension
plan that covered  substantially all of their full-time  employees through 1993.
Benefits are based on a percentage of eligible earnings.  The employee must have
had a projected  period of pensionable  service of at least 30 years as of 1993.
If the period was shorter, the pension benefits were reduced accordingly. Active
employees do not accrue any future benefits; therefore, there is no service cost
and the liability will only increase for interest cost.

Net periodic benefit costs in fiscal 2003, 2002, and 2001 were not material.

The changes in the benefit obligations and plan assets of the significant non-US
defined benefit pension plans for fiscal 2003 and 2002 were as follows:

Due to the fact that the Company reported a net loss in fiscal 2001, options and
warrants  were not included in the  computation  of earnings per share in fiscal
2001.  If the  Company had  reported  net income in 2001,  additional  1,407,000
common equivalent shares related to outstanding  options and warrants would have
been included in the calculation of diluted loss per share.

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


The Board of Directors and Shareholders, Trimble Navigation Limited

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  Consolidated  Balance  Sheets  of  Trimble
Navigation  Limited as of January 2, 2004 and  January 3, 2003,  and the related
Consolidated Statements of Operations,  Shareholders' Equity, and Cash Flows for
each of the three  years in the period  ended  January 2, 2004.  Our audits also
included the financial  statement schedule listed in the index at Item 15(a)(2).
These financial  statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's
management.  Our  responsibility  is to express  an  opinion on these  financial
statements and schedule, based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the financial  statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting  the amounts and  disclosures in the financial  statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by  management,  as well as  evaluating  the  overall  financial  statement
presentation.  We believe  that our audits  provide a  reasonable  basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial statements and schedule referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Trimble
Navigation  Limited at January 2, 2004 and January 3, 2003, and the consolidated
results of its  operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended January 2, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United  States.  Also,  in our  opinion,  the related  financial
statement  schedule,  when  considered  in  relation  to the basic  consolidated
financial statements taken as a whole,  presents fairly in all material respects
the information set forth therein.

As  discussed  in Note 1 to the  consolidated  financial  statements,  effective
December  29,  2001,  the company  adopted  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets."
