<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation &#151;  </B>Amtech Systems, Inc., an Arizona
corporation (&#147;Amtech&#148;), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries; P. R. Hoffman Machine Products, Inc.
(&#147;P. R. Hoffman&#148;) and Bruce Technologies, Inc. (&#147;Bruce Technologies&#148;), based in the United States;
and Tempress Systems, Inc. (&#147;Tempress&#148;) based in The Netherlands, comprise the &#147;Company.&#148; Amtech
designs, assembles, sells and installs capital equipment and related consumables used in the
manufacture of wafers of various materials, primarily silicon wafers for the semiconductor
industry, and in certain semiconductor fabrication processes. These products are sold to
manufacturers of silicon wafers and semiconductors worldwide, particularly in the United States,
Asia and northern Europe. In addition, Amtech provides semiconductor manufacturing support
services.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Amtech serves a niche market in an industry that experiences rapid technological advances, and
which in the past has been very cyclical. Therefore, Amtech&#146;s future profitability and growth
depend on its ability to develop or acquire and market profitable new products, and on its ability
to adapt to cyclical trends.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#147;SEC&#148;), and
consequently do not include all disclosures normally required by U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the
financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented have been made.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements have
been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. These condensed
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company&#146;s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended September&nbsp;30, 2004.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The consolidated results of operations for the three months ended December&nbsp;31, 2004 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>Use of Estimates &#151; </B>The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U. S. generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

amounted to 29% of accounts receivable. In addition, 41% of the work-in-process inventory (&#147;WIP&#148;)
at December&nbsp;31, 2004 is attributable to a single customer. The systems ordered by that customer
are part of a five-system order, which began shipping during the second quarter of 2004. The
remaining system ordered by this customer is currently scheduled to ship during the second quarter
of 2005. An additional 17% of WIP is attributable to another single customer.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During
the three months ended December&nbsp;31, 2004, net revenues were to
customers in the following geographic regions: North
America&nbsp;30%,
Asia&nbsp;38% and
Europe&nbsp;32%. One customer represented 16%

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>Property, Plant and Equipment </B>- Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
The costs of additions and improvements are capitalized. The cost of property retired or sold and
the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the applicable accounts when disposition
occurs and any gain or loss is recognized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line
method. Useful lives for equipment, machinery and leasehold improvements range from three to seven
years; for furniture and fixtures from five to ten years; and for buildings twenty years.

</DIV>

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Results of Operations</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We develop, manufacture, market and service wafer and semiconductor fabrication equipment and
related parts, supplies and services on a worldwide basis. The products offered are grouped into
two business segments: the semiconductor equipment segment, which offers horizontal diffusion
furnaces, processing/robotic equipment for diffusion furnaces, related spare parts and
manufacturing support services to semiconductor fabricators and silicon wafer manufacturers; and
the polishing supplies segment, which offers supplies, including carriers and templates, and
equipment for lapping and polishing, which are some of the last steps in the fabrication of silicon
wafers. Demand for our products can change significantly from period to period as a result of
numerous factors, including, but not limited to, changes in: 1) global and regional economic
conditions; 2) supply and demand for semiconductors or, more specifically, capacity utilization and
production volume of manufacturers of semiconductors, silicon wafers, solar cells and
microelectrical mechanical systems (&#147;MEMS&#148;); and 3) the profitability and capital resources of
those manufacturers. For this and other reasons, our results of operations for past periods may
not necessarily be indicative of future operating results.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
business has historically been subject to cyclical industry conditions. As a result, we have experienced significant fluctuations in our quarterly new orders and net revenues, both
within and across years.


<P align="center" style="font-size: 10pt">14
</DIV>

<!-- PAGEBREAK -->
<P><HR noshade><P>
<H5 align="left" style="page-break-before:always"><A HREF="#tocpage">Table of Contents</A></H5><P>

<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Examples of these significant fluctuations are the large swings in
revenues and income between the first and second quarters of 2004. Demand for semiconductor and
silicon wafer manufacturing equipment and related consumable products has also been volatile as a
result of sudden changes in semiconductor supply and demand and other
factors in both semiconductor devices and wafer fabrication
processes. Our orders tend to be more volatile than our revenues, as
any change in demand is reflected immediately in orders booked, which are net of cancellations,
while revenues tend to be recognized over multiple quarters as a result of procurement and
production lead times and the deferral of certain revenues under our revenue recognition policies.
Customer delivery schedules on large system orders can also add to this volatility.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Net Revenues. </I></B>Our net revenues for the three months ended December&nbsp;31, 2004 were $7.2
million, compared to $3.9&nbsp;million for the three months ended December&nbsp;31, 2003, an increase of 85%.
We experienced an increase of $2.3&nbsp;million, or 47%, from the $4.9&nbsp;million in net revenues for the
three months ended September&nbsp;30, 2004.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net revenues of the semiconductor equipment segment increased 111% to $5.7&nbsp;million during the
first quarter of 2005, compared to the first quarter of 2004 sales of
$2.7&nbsp;million. Sales of our new subsidiary, Bruce Technologies
contributed $1.7&nbsp;million of the increase. An increase in the
quantity of system sales contributed to the remaining increase. Net revenues of the semiconductor
equipment segment increased 73% to $5.7&nbsp;million during the first quarter of 2005, compared to the
fourth quarter of 2004. This is primarily the result of the increase in system sales of $1.7
million by our facility in The Netherlands. A $0.4&nbsp;million
increase in revenue from
September&nbsp;30, 2004 due to timing of revenue recognition due to
customer acceptances also contributed to the increase in sales in the first quarter of 2005.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net revenues of the polishing supplies segment increased 15% or $0.2&nbsp;million to $1.5&nbsp;million
during the first quarter of 2005, compared to the first quarter of 2004. The increase was
primarily due to increases in carrier and insert carrier revenues. Net revenues of this segment
decreased $0.1&nbsp;million, or 8%, during the first quarter of 2005, as compared to the fourth quarter
of 2004.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following table reflects new orders <SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top"><B>(1) </B></SUP>, shipments and net revenues
for each quarter during the current fiscal year and also for our prior two fiscal years, and the
backlog as of the end of those periods, on a consolidated basis, as well as for each of our two

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Gross Margin. </I></B>Consolidated gross margin for the three months ended December&nbsp;31, 2004 was $2.2
million, or 31% of net revenues; compared to $1.2&nbsp;million or 30% of net revenues for the three
months ended December&nbsp;31, 2003, an increase of 1% as a percentage of sales.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the first quarter of 2005, the gross margin of our semiconductor equipment segment
decreased to 34% of net revenues compared to 37% in the first quarter of 2004. The decrease is due
to the increase in labor of 5% as a percentage of net revenues, offset by a decrease in material of
2% as a percentage of net revenues.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Also impacting the gross margin of the semiconductor equipment segment in 2005 are the excess
costs we have recorded on the pending sale of our first small batch vertical diffusion furnace.
The projected future costs to build this initial system have significantly exceeded the contracted
selling price. As a result, we recognized an additional $38,000, or 0.1% of net revenues, of
expense during the three months ended December&nbsp;31, 2004, to reflect the increase in the projected
losses on this contract. Actual results for this project could differ from our estimates.
Cumulatively, $442,000 represents the anticipated projected cost overruns for this initial system.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">This excess has been recorded as cost of sales. We believe that the engineering and
development of this project have progressed to a point that we do not anticipate any further
significant increases in the projected loss or actual costs of this project. This system is
currently scheduled to ship in the second quarter of 2005. At the date of customer acceptance on
this system, we will recognize the full amount of the contracted revenues, with no resulting gross
margin due to the cost overruns discussed above. However, if this system is not accepted by the
customer, it will have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of
operations.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the first quarter of 2005, the gross margin of our polishing supplies segment increased to
21% of net revenues, compared to 16% in the first quarter of 2003. This increase is the result of a
decrease in material and labor as a percentage of net revenues of 3% and 5%, respectively, offset
by an increase in overhead of 3% as a percentage of net revenues.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our gross margin has significantly fluctuated in the past, and will continue to fluctuate in
the future, based on several factors including, but not limited to, the severity and duration of
industry cycles, the timing of equipment installations and customers acceptances, product mix and
overhead absorption levels. The timing of revenue recognition has a particularly significant
effect on gross margin when the equipment revenue of an order is recognized in one period and the
remainder of the revenue attributed to installation, generally 10-20% of the order, is recognized
in a later period, because the latter revenue has a significantly higher gross margin.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. </I></B>Consolidated selling, general and
administrative expenses for the three months ended December&nbsp;31, 2004 and 2003 were $1.9&nbsp;million, or
27.1% of net revenues, and $1.1&nbsp;million, or 26.9% of net revenues, respectively. The increased
expenses in 2005 are the result of an increase in audit fees ($0.2&nbsp;million), Bruce Technologies
($0.4&nbsp;million) and an increase in personnel ($0.1&nbsp;million). In addition, the remaining increase is
primarily attributable to the increase of the Euro from the previous period.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Research
and Development Expenses. </I></B>During the three months ended
December&nbsp;31, 2004 and 2003,
research and development expenses were $0.2&nbsp;million and
$0.1&nbsp;million, respectively.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Operating Income. </I></B>Our operating income for the first quarter of 2005 was $0.1&nbsp;million, or
1.4% of net revenues, compared to a near break-even operating income for the first quarter of 2004.
The increase in our operating income is a result of higher gross margins in the first quarter of
2005 as compared to the first quarter of 2004.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Income Tax Expense. </I></B>In 2004, the Company recorded a valuation allowance for the total
deferred tax assets. As we recognize profits, the Company will offset the income tax expense by the
reversal of the valuation allowance, up to the current tax expense, until fully reversed or until
it has been determined the valuation allowance is no longer needed. Net operating loss
carryforwards are not available to offset the entire federal alternative minimum taxable income. As
a result, the tax expense recorded during the first quarter of 2005 only reflects the alternative
minimum tax and certain state taxes. The effective tax rate for the period ended December&nbsp;2004 and
2003 was 23% and 52%, respectively. Our future effective income tax rate depends on various
factors, such as tax legislation, the geographic composition of our pre-tax income, the level of
expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes and the effectiveness of our tax planning
strategies.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Net Income. </I></B>As a result of the operating results described above, our net income for the
first quarter of 2005 was $0.1&nbsp;million, or $.03 and $.02 per basic and diluted share, respectively,
compared to a near break-even for the first quarter of 2004.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Backlog. </I></B>At December&nbsp;31, 2004, our order backlog totaled $8.5&nbsp;million, an increase of 16%
from the $7.3&nbsp;million backlog at September&nbsp;30, 2004. Two customers, one in Europe and one in the
United States, accounted for 25% of the $8.5&nbsp;million backlog as of December&nbsp;31, 2004. The orders
included in our backlog are generally credit approved customer purchase orders usually scheduled to
ship in the next 12&nbsp;months. The backlog also includes revenues deferred derived from orders that
have already been shipped, but which have not met the criteria for revenue recognition. We
schedule production of our systems based on order backlog and customer commitments. However,
customers may delay the delivery of products or cancel orders suddenly and without sufficient
notice, subject to possible cancellation penalties. Due to possible customer changes in delivery
schedules and cancellations of orders, our backlog at any particular date is not necessarily
indicative of actual sales for any succeeding period. Delays in delivery schedules and/or a
reduction of backlog during any particular reporting period could have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial position and results of operations. In addition, our backlog does not
provide any assurance that we will realize a profit from those orders, or indicate in which period
revenue will be recognized.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Liquidity and Capital Resources</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At December&nbsp;31, 2004 and September&nbsp;30, 2004, cash and cash equivalents were $2.1&nbsp;million and
$1.7&nbsp;million, respectively. Our ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.4:1 at
December&nbsp;31, 2004 and 2.7:1 at September&nbsp;30, 2004. We continue to believe that we have sufficient
available liquidity and capital resources for our existing operations and expansion plans.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During the three months ended December&nbsp;31, 2004, cash and cash equivalents increased by $0.5
million due to the financing of a laser cutting machine purchased in the fourth quarter of 2004. A
total of $0.2&nbsp;million in non-cash adjustments for depreciation and amortization and an increase in
accounts payable of $0.6&nbsp;million and accrued liabilities and customer deposits of $0.7&nbsp;million
represented the major cash inflows. These cash inflows were offset by a $0.6&nbsp;million increase in
inventories, a $1.0&nbsp;million increase in accounts receivable and a $0.2&nbsp;million decrease in deferred
profit on systems awaiting installation and/or customer acceptance. The increase in inventories is
comprised of a $0.8&nbsp;million increase in work-in-process. The increase in accounts receivable is a result of
increased sales during the first quarter of 2005.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Investing activities and the effect of exchange rates on cash were not significant during the
three months ended December&nbsp;31, 2004. Financing activities of $0.5&nbsp;million during the first
quarter of 2005 was due to the receipt of cash for the financing of a laser cutting machine
purchased during the fourth quarter of 2004.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At December&nbsp;31, 2004, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of $2.1&nbsp;million of cash and
cash equivalents. Since the only lien on our assets is a $0.5&nbsp;million mortgage loan and a security
interest in trade receivables of the operation in The Netherlands and the $0.5&nbsp;million borrowings
for the capital leased asset, we believe that additional sources of liquidity are available from various financing
sources. We believe that we have sufficient liquidity for our current operations and for at least
certain elements of our growth strategy. One element of our growth strategy is

diffusion furnace line.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Another element of our growth strategy is the acquisition of product lines or businesses that
complement our existing product lines and business.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our available cash and cash equivalents are expected to be sufficient for existing operations
and for planned research and development for at least the next 12&nbsp;months. However, significant
unplanned development of new products or the completion of additional significant acquisitions
would require additional capital resources that are expected to be obtained from one or more
sources of financing, such as a private placement, a public offering, working capital loans or term
loans from banks or other financial institutions, equipment leasing, mortgage financing and
internally generated cash flow from operations. There can be no assurance of the availability or
sufficiency of these or any other source of funding for those purposes.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Critical Accounting Policies</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#147;Management&#146;s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations&#148;
discusses our consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with U. S.
generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires
us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to
revenue recognition, inventory valuation, accounts receivable collectibility, warranty and
impairment of long-lived assets. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and
on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. The results of
these estimates and judgments form the basis for making conclusions about the carrying value of
assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ
from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A critical accounting policy is one that is both important to the presentation of our
financial position and results of operations, and also requires management&#146;s most difficult,
subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect
of matters that are inherently uncertain. These uncertainties are discussed in the section
entitled &#147;Item&nbsp;7: Management&#146;s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations &#151; Trends, Risks and Uncertainties&#148; in our Annual Report on Form&nbsp;10- K for the fiscal
year ended September&nbsp;30, 2004.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We continually review our business activities to determine which of our policies meet these
criteria. We believe the critical accounting policies discussed in the section entitled &#147;Item&nbsp;7:
Management&#146;s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations &#151; Critical
Accounting Policies&#148; in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September&nbsp;30, 2004
affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated
financial statements. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies
during the three months ended December&nbsp;31, 2004.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In October&nbsp;2004, the FASB issued EITF 04-1 &#147;Accounting for Preexisting Relationships between
the Parties to a Business Combination&#148;, which addresses the accounting for preexisting
relationships between the parties to a business combination. The Company does not believe the adoption of this
pronouncement will have a material impact on its financial position nor the results of operations.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In October&nbsp;2004, the FASB issued EITF 04-8 &#147;The Effect of Contingently Convertible Instruments
on Diluted Earnings per Share&#148;, which addresses when contingently convertible instruments should be
included in diluted earnings per share. The Company does not have any contingently
convertible instruments based upon market price and does not believe the adoption of this EITF
issue will have a material impact on its financial position nor the results of operations.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In December&nbsp;2004, the FASB issued SFAS No.&nbsp;123R, &#147;Share-Based Payments&#148;, which amends SFAS No.
123, &#147;Accounting for Stock-Based compensation&#148;. This statement requires companies to expense the
fair value of employee stock options and similar awards and is effective for periods beginning
after June&nbsp;15, 2005. The Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS No.&nbsp;123R on July&nbsp;1, 2005. See
the pro forma in Note 1 for the impact on current and prior period
results using the fair value method as prescribed under SFAS
No.&nbsp;123. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of
adopting SFAS No.&nbsp;123R.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
November&nbsp;2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, &#147;Inventory Costs,&#148; which amends the guidance
in ARB No.&nbsp;43, Chapter&nbsp;4, &#147;Inventory Pricing,&#148; to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of
idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material. This Statement requires that
those items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion
of &#147;so abnormal.&#148; In addition, this Statement requires allocation of fixed production overhead to
the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The Company
is currently evaluating the provisions of SFAS No.&nbsp;151 and will adopt it on November&nbsp;1, 2005, as
required. The Company believes the adoption of this Statement will not have a material effect on
its financial position or results of operations.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In January&nbsp;2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (&#147;FSP&#148;) No.&nbsp;FAS 109-1, &#147;Application of
SFAS No.&nbsp;109 to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs
Creation Act of 2004&#148;. This FSP provides guidance for the accounting of a deduction provided to U.
S. manufacturing companies and is effective immediately. The Company believes the adoption of this
position currently will not have a material effect of its financial position or results of
operations. However, there is no assurance that there will not be a material impact in the future.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In December&nbsp;2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, &#147;Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets&#148;. SFAS 153
amends APB Opinion 29 concerning the accounting for exchanges of similar productive assets. Such
transactions should now be accounted for at fair value, the basic principle for nonmonetary
transactions, unless the exchange lacks commercial substance and is effective for periods ending
after June&nbsp;15, 2005. The Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS 153 April&nbsp;1, 2005 and believes
they will not have a material effect of its financial position or results of operations.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are exposed to financial market risks, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates
and interest rates. Our operations in the United States are conducted in U.S. dollars. Our
operation in The Netherlands, a component of the semiconductor equipment segment, conducts business
primarily in the Euro and the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of our Netherlands operation is
the Euro. The functional currency for all other operating units is the U.S. dollar.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We estimate that more than 90% of our transactions are denominated in one of our two
functional currencies or currencies that have fixed exchange rates with one of our functional
currencies. As of December&nbsp;31, 2004, we did not hold any stand alone or separate derivative
instruments. We incurred net foreign currency transaction gains or losses of less than $0.1
million during the three months ended December&nbsp;31, 2004 and 2003. Our investment in and advances
to our Netherlands operation totaled $2.3&nbsp;million as of December&nbsp;31, 2004. A 10% change in the
value of the Euro relative to the U.S. dollar would cause an approximately $0.2&nbsp;million foreign
currency translation adjustment, a type of other comprehensive income (loss), which would be a
direct adjustment to our stockholders&#146; equity.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When the value of the Euro increases relative to the value of the U.S. dollar, as it has
during 2005 and 2004, our operation in The Netherlands becomes less competitive outside the
European market, as it must raise prices to those customers that normally make purchases in U.S.
dollars, in order to maintain the same profit margins. When this occurs, this operation attempts
to have transactions denominated in the Euro and to increase its purchases denominated in U.S.
dollars, which become less expensive. When the value of the Euro declines relative to the value of
the U.S. dollar, our operation in The Netherlands can be more competitive against United States
based equipment suppliers, as the cost of purchases denominated in U.S. dollars becomes more
expensive. Because it is difficult to predict the volume of U.S. dollar denominated transactions
arising from our Netherlands operation, we do not hedge against the effects of exchange rate
changes on future transactions. The Euro was at a relatively high value relative to the U.S.
dollar at December&nbsp;31, 2004, leaving our Netherlands operation at a competitive disadvantage
compared to other suppliers based in the United States and increasing the risk of a future unfavorable
foreign currency translation adjustment, which would be a direct adjustment to stockholders&#146; equity
and included in comprehensive income (loss).

(&#147;CFO&#148;), has carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures in place as of December&nbsp;31, 2004, pursuant to Exchange Act Rules&nbsp;13a-15(e) and
15(d)-15(e). Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that as of such date, our
disclosure controls and procedures in place are adequate to ensure material information, and other
information requiring disclosure, is identified and communicated on a timely basis.

entities, particularly during the period in which this quarterly report is being prepared;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant&#146;s disclosure controls and procedures and

procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;disclosed in this report any change in the registrant&#146;s internal control over financial
reporting that occurred during the registrant&#146;s most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant&#146;s fourth

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">I, Robert T. Hass, certify that:



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.&nbsp; I have reviewed this Quarterly Report on Form&nbsp;10-Q of Amtech Systems, Inc.;



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.&nbsp;Based on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of
the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period
covered by this quarterly report;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.&nbsp;Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included
in this quarterly report, fairly present in all material respects the financial position, results
of operations and cash flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this
quarterly report;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.&nbsp;The registrant&#146;s other certifying officer and I are responsible for establishing and
maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules&nbsp;13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e)) for the registrant and we have:


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and
procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that material information relating to
the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those
entities, particularly during the period in which this quarterly report is being prepared;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant&#146;s disclosure controls and procedures and
presented in this report our conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and
procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;disclosed in this report any change in the registrant&#146;s internal control over financial
reporting that occurred during the registrant&#146;s most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant&#146;s fourth
fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, the registrant&#146;s internal control over financial reporting.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.&nbsp;The registrant&#146;s other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our most recent
evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the registrant&#146;s auditors and the audit
