<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The delay in filing Amtech Systems, Inc.&#146;s Form&nbsp;10-Q for the nine months ended
June&nbsp;30, 2003 is primarily attributable to an unexpected change in the
accounting treatment for certain costs and further delayed by the
power outage in New York City.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2003 totaled $3.6&nbsp;million, a decrease
of 18% from $4.4&nbsp;million in the third quarter of fiscal 2002. Revenues for the
nine months ended June&nbsp;30, 2003 were $13.4&nbsp;million, a 14% decline, compared to
$15.5&nbsp;million for the nine months ended June&nbsp;30, 2002. The decline in revenue
for the third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2003 is due to the sharp
decline in net new orders during the first quarter of the current fiscal year
and the fact that a significant portion of the backlog at the beginning of the
third quarter was represented by a large order not scheduled for shipment until
the fourth quarter. Also, the backlog that was approximately $6&nbsp;million higher
as of the beginning of fiscal 2002, than at the beginning of fiscal
2003 contributing to the higher revenue during the first two quarters of fiscal 2002.
As a result, the Company has incurred a net loss of $.1&nbsp;million and $.5
million during the third quarter and nine months ended June&nbsp;30, 2003,
respectively, compared to net income for the corresponding three and nine month
periods of fiscal 2002 of $.1&nbsp;million and $.3&nbsp;million, respectively.
