Revenue
Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 1996 was $18.3 million, up 39.4%
over the comparable period in 1995. This increase was due to increased sales of
the Company's newer 6500 series critical etch systems and 980 series
non-critical etch systems which carry higher selling prices than the Company's
older six inch and smaller wafer capable non-critical etch systems. As a result
of weakening demand for the Company's non-critical etch systems experienced in
the three months ended June 30, 1996 and the current semiconductor industry
slowdown, the Company believes that it will be difficult to maintain its first
quarter revenue level for the next two or three quarters.
Revenue from spare parts and service sales was $5.8 million for the three month
periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, accounting for 31.7% and 44.4% of total
revenue, respectively.
International sales as a percentage of the Company's revenue accounted for
approximately 80.7% and 66.0% for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. The Company believes that international sales will continue to
represent a significant portion of its revenue.
Gross Margin
Gross margin was 45.8% and 49.3% for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and
1995, respectively. The decline in gross margin for the three months ended June
30, 1996, resulted primarily from increased sales of 6500 series systems, which
currently carry lower gross margins than the Company's non-critical etch
systems. The 6500 series systems have experienced, as is typical with recently
introduced products, high startup costs and low initial margins. The Company
expects that these high startup costs on the 6500 series systems will continue
at least through fiscal 1997 until the substantially fixed manufacturing
overhead is absorbed over a larger production volume and the Company can obtain
larger vendor discounts on purchased components through volume purchases. There
can be no assurance that the Company's overall gross margins or gross margins on
its 6500 series systems will increase.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries, prototype
material and other costs associated with the Company's ongoing systems and
process technology development, applications and field process support efforts.
Research and development expenses were $2.6 million and $2.2 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, representing 14.4% and
17.1% of revenue, respectively. The increase in research and development
spending in absolute dollars in the period ended June 30, 1996 compared to the
comparable period in the prior year was attributable to increased spending on
salaries, prototype material and support costs. This increase funded development
of new 6500 series functions, running an increased number of customer wafer
samples in the Company's demonstration laboratory and design and test changes to
the Company's standard systems configurations called for by customers' special
order requirements. The Company expects that research and development expenses
will continue to increase in absolute dollars.
Marketing and Selling
Marketing and selling expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions, trade
show promotion and travel and living expenses associated with those functions.
Marketing and selling expenses were $1.8 million and $1.7 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, representing 9.7% and 12.8% of revenue,
respectively. The three month period ended June 30, 1995 included a $0.3 million
non-recurring provision for sales office relocation expense. After deducting
this non-recurring expense, the three month period ended June 30, 1996 would
have been $0.4 million higher than the year earlier period, with the increase
primarily due to higher sales commission expenses on a larger revenue base than
occurred in the year earlier period and increased advertising expenses.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation for
general management, accounting and finance, human resources and management
information systems functions and for legal, consulting and accounting fees of
the Company. General and administrative expenses were $1.8 million and $1.2
million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, representing 10.1%
and 9.1% of revenue, respectively. Included in the general and administrative
expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 1996, was an approximately
$0.3 million expense associated with completing an upgrade to
7
the Company's business system begun in late fiscal 1996 and approximately $0.2
million additional expenses incurred in connection with being a public company
which was not the case in the year earlier period.
Other Income (Expenses), Net
Other income (expense), net consists of interest income on the unused proceeds
of the Company's initial public offering (IPO) completed in October 1995,
interest expense on bank borrowings, interest accretion on the Motorola term
loan prior to the repayment of those obligations out of the proceeds of the IPO,
foreign exchange gains and losses, and gains and losses on the sale of fixed
assets. Other income, net was $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30,
1996. Other expense, net, was $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30,
1995. The other income, net generated in the three months ended June 30, 1996
was principally due to the Company generating interest income on the Company's
unused cash balance. The other expense, net generated in the three months ended
June 30, 1995 was principally due to interest expense incurred in connection
with the Company's domestic bank borrowings prior to the IPO.
Income Tax Expense
Income taxes as a percentage of income before income taxes were 25.0% and 10.0%
for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The effective
tax rate in 1995 was substantially below the federal statutory rate due to
utilization of tax loss carryforwards. The Company expects that its effective
tax rate for the remainder of fiscal 1997 will approximate 25% due to the
continuing utilization of foreign tax loss carryforwards.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
For the three month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, the Company has
financed its operations through cash generated from operations, use of net
proceeds from the IPO and bank borrowings.
Net cash used in operations was $4.6 million during the three months ended June
30, 1996, due principally to growth in accounts receivable, tax payments made in
the three months ended June 30, 1996, and reductions in accounts payable and
other accrued liabilities, offset, in part, by net income. Net cash provided by
operations during the three month period ended June 30, 1995 was $0.3 million
and was generated primarily from net income and a decline in accounts
receivable, partially offset by an increase in inventories and a decline in
accounts payable.
Net capital expenditures totaled $0.9 million and $0.6 million in the three
months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Capital expenditures in both
periods were incurred principally to acquire design tools, analytical equipment
and computers. In addition, in the three months ended June 30, 1996,
approximately $0.3 million was incurred on leasehold improvements to the
Company's manufacturing and demonstration laboratory facilities.
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $2.6 million in the three
months ended June 30, 1996 and was due principally to increased borrowings under
the Company's two Japanese promissory note borrowing facilities to discount
customer promissory notes provided to the Company in advance of payment on
receivables balances in Japan.
As of June 30, 1996, the Company had approximately $20.3 million of cash and
cash equivalents. In addition to cash and cash equivalents, the Company's other
principal sources of liquidity consisted of the unused portions of several bank
borrowing facilities. At June 30, 1996, the Company had an aggregate of $13.0
million available under two domestic lines of credit totaling $13.0 million,
secured by substantially all of the Company's assets. Both facilities are
available until August 15, 1997. In addition to the foregoing facilities, as of
June 30, 1996, the Company's Japanese subsidiary had available a 374 million Yen
(approximately $3.4 million at exchange rates prevailing on June 30, 1996)
unused portion of two Japanese bank lines of credit totaling 600 million Yen
(approximately $5.5 million at exchange rates prevailing June 30, 1996) secured
by Japanese customer promissory notes held by such subsidiary in advance of
payment on customers' accounts receivable.
The Company believes that anticipated cash flow from operations, funds available
under its lines of credit and existing cash and cash equivalent balances will be
sufficient to meet the Company's cash requirements for at least the next twelve
months.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 4. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On June 10, 1996, Lucent Technologies Inc., a manufacturing subsidiary
of AT&T Corp., filed a claim with the United States District Court for
the Northern District of California alleging patent infringement by
Austria Mikro Systeme International AG and AMS Austria Mikro Systeme
International, Inc. (AMS) for the sale of integrated circuits
manufactured with the Company's dry plasma etch systems. On March 7,
1995, the Company executed an indemnification agreement with AMS,
covering certain uses of select equipment sold to AMS. The Company
believes that the claims made by Lucent Technologies Inc. are without
merit and that the ultimate outcome of any defense of any required
indemnification obligation to AMS is unlikely to have a material
adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or financial
condition. No assurance can be given, however, as to the outcome of
such legal proceedings or as to the effect of any such outcome on the
Company's results of operations or financial condition.
ITEM 5. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the
three month period ended June 30, 1996.
ITEM 6. EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K
(a) Exhibits 11
(b) Reports on Form 8-K On June 28, 1996, a report on Form 8-K was
