<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;text-indent:.2in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On September 23, 2003, the
Company filed a legal complaint seeking a declaratory judgment that the Company
has no liability to Rudolph Technologies, Inc. or its subsidiary, ISOA, Inc.,
with respect to claims they have asserted that STI owes Rudolph development
fees and royalty payments pursuant to a December 24, 1997 Development Agreement
(the &#147;Development Agreement&#148;).&#160; In
addition, the Company is seeking repayment of royalties previously paid by STI
to ISOA.&#160; Rudolph and ISOA filed an answer
and counterclaim, denying the allegations set forth in the Company&#146;s complaint
and claiming that ISOA is entitled to damages as a result of STI&#146;s breach of
the Development Agreement.&#160; ISOA is also
seeking a declaratory judgment that STI and/or the Company are wrongfully using
ISOA&#146;s technology without compensating ISOA.&#160;
In connection with the acquisition of STI, the Company placed 180 shares
of its Common Stock issued in the transaction in escrow as part of the
Company&#146;s indemnification protection against damages up to a maximum amount of
$670 in connection with STI&#146;s dispute with Rudolph.&#160; In September 2003, 105 of the escrowed shares were sold and the
proceeds of such sale were deposited into the escrow.</font></p>

all of the assets of Counterpoint Solutions, Inc. (&#147;CSI&#148;).&#160; CSI develops wafer inspection, review and
failure analysis solutions.&#160; The total
purchase price, including direct acquisition costs, was $1,504, which consisted
of 200 shares of the Company&#146;s Common Stock and $100 in cash.&#160; Up to an additional $100 of cash will be
paid upon the achievement of certain product sales.&#160; The allocation of the purchase price resulted in the Company
recording net assets of $39, $462 of goodwill and $1,003 of purchased technology.</font></p>

are a provider of automated defect detection and product characterization
systems for microelectronic device manufacturers. Our systems provide
manufacturers with information that enables process-enhancing decisions,
ultimately lowering manufacturing costs, improving time-to-market and enhancing
the performance of their products. We combine our core competencies in machine
vision technology, optics, lighting and precision motion control with our
proprietary software and extensive microelectronic-specific applications experience
to deliver scalable, modular systems that excel at the automated detection of
advanced macro defects, which we define to be defects greater in size than 0.5
microns. We sell our systems to many of the leading microelectronic device
manufacturers throughout the world for inspecting semiconductors, advanced
packaging applications, optoelectronics, MEMS, data storage and micro displays.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.2in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our
business is subject to the cyclical nature of the microelectronic device
manufacturing markets we serve.&#160; These
cycles are caused by significant fluctuations in the supply and demand of
microelectronic devices driven by such factors as changes in technology and
global economic conditions. There has been a dramatic reduction in demand for
microelectronic device manufacturing equipment since 2000. This decreased
demand has caused our quarterly orders and sales to fluctuate dramatically.
While we have seen some improvements in market conditions, we are not able to
predict when the microelectronic device manufacturers&#146; capital spending will
recover. Future quarterly and annual results will continue to be impacted by
fluctuations in supply and demand of microelectronic devices, the timing of new
product announcements and releases by us or our competitors, market acceptance
of new or enhanced versions of our products, changes in the pricing of our
products and the timing and level of our research and development expenditures.</font></p>

we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Semiconductor Technologies
&amp; Instruments, Inc. (&#147;STI&#148;).&#160;&#160; STI
manufactures automated defect inspection and metrology tools that are
integrated onto probers, providing microelectronics manufacturers with an
automated solution for inspecting probe marks, ink dots, and active die
regions.&nbsp;&nbsp;The total consideration, including direct acquisition
costs, was $2.2 million and consisted of $1.4&nbsp;million in cash and 215,385
shares of our common stock. The parties initially had placed 215,000 shares
issued in the transaction in escrow to secure ASTI&#146;s performance of certain
covenants including ASTI&#146;s agreement to indemnify us against damages in
connection with STI&#146;s dispute with a third party.&#160; In September 2003, pursuant to an agreement between the parties
and the escrow agent, 105,385 of the escrowed shares were sold and the proceeds
of such sale were deposited into the escrow.</font></p>

consisted of $100,000 in cash and 200,000 shares of our common stock.&#160; Up to an additional $100,000 of cash will be
paid upon the achievement of certain product sales.</font></p>

Revenues.</font></i>&#160; Net revenues increased $5.4 million, or
86.3%, to $11.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003, from
$6.3 million for the same period in 2002.&#160;
The increase in net revenues was primarily due to increased sales of our
NSX Series, sales related to the AXi Series, which we first recognized revenue
on during the current quarter, and sales of the WAV Series, acquired in
conjunction with the acquisition of STI.&#160;
The increase was partially offset by lower revenues from the 3Di Series.</p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.2in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Net
revenues from international sales represented 83% and 70% of total net revenues
for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.&#160; The increase in international sales was primarily
the result of increased sales to Asia, which comprised 72% and 68% of net
revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002,
respectively.&#160; The increase in the
percentage of net revenues from Asia was partially offset by a decrease in net
revenues from North America, which comprised 17% and 30% of total net revenues
for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.2in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">During
the three months ended September 30, 2003, orders for systems within the NSX
and AXi Series increased as compared to the prior quarter.&#160; This increase resulted in a book-to-bill
ratio above parity during the quarter.&#160;
As a result of the increase in bookings, we expect revenues to increase
during the fourth quarter of 2003 as compared to the third quarter of 2003.</font></p>

period in 2002.&#160; The gross margin
increased to 56.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2003, from 55.1%
for the same period in 2002.&#160; The
increase in gross margin percentage was primarily due to an increase in sales
of certain products within the NSX Series and WAV Series, which have higher
margins than our other product lines, higher average selling prices within the
NSX Series, and higher absorption of fixed manufacturing costs.&#160; In addition,&#160; prior year revenues included a higher mix of lower margin models
within the 3Di Series.</p>

General and Administrative Expenses.</font></i>&#160; Selling, general and
administrative expenses consist primarily of employee salaries and related
benefits, travel expenses and occupancy related costs.&#160; Selling, general and administrative expenses
were $3.8 million, or 32.6% of net revenues, for the three months ended
September 30, 2003, and $3.8 million, or 60.3% of net revenues, for the same
period in 2002.&#160; Expenses in 2003
included increased variable costs, such as sales commissions and travel,
associated with the increased level of revenues, employee compensation costs,
expenses associated with the ongoing operations of STI and CSI, and the
amortization of purchased technology.&#160;
These increases were partially offset by the fact that expenses in the
third quarter of 2002 included the write-off of acquisition related costs,
employee severance costs and expenses related to the modification of our
distributor agreement with Metron Technology, B.V.(&#147;Metron&#148;), as a result of
our decision to sell directly to customers in Asia, except Japan and South
Korea.&#160; The quarterly selling, general
and administrative expense dollars are expected to increase in the last quarter
of 2003, as compared to the third quarter of 2003, primarily as a result of
variable expenses associated with the expected higher level of revenues and
higher recruiting and relocation costs.&#160;
However, selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
revenues are expected to decrease, as revenues are expected to increase at a
higher rate than the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses.</p>

and Development Expenses.</font></i>&#160; Research and development
expenses consist primarily of employee salaries and related benefits and
consulting fees for individuals engaged in the research, design and development
of new products.&#160; Research and
development expenses increased 10.6% to $2.6 million, or 22.2% of net revenues,
for the three months ended September 30, 2003, from $2.3 million, or 37.4% of
net revenues, for the same period in 2002.&#160;
The increase in expenses was primarily due to employee salaries and related benefits associated
with the employees of STI and CSI, and costs related to completing certain
stages of development of the BXi Series and EXi Series, as well as additional
features related to the NSX Series.&#160; The
increase was partially offset by expenses in the prior year including costs
related to the development of the NSX-105, which was introduced in the third
quarter of 2002, and further development of the 3Di Series, which began
shipping in the fourth quarter of 2001.&#160;
We anticipate that research and
development expense dollars will increase in future quarters, as compared to
the third quarter of 2003, due to ongoing development projects.&#160; However, research and development expenses as a percentage of revenues are expected
to decrease, as revenues are expected to increase at a higher rate than the
increase in research and
development expenses.</p>

Interest income was $71,000 for the three months ended September 30,
2003, compared to $124,000 for the same period in 2002.&#160; The decrease in interest income was due to
lower rates of return earned on investment balances in 2003 as compared to 2002
and lower overall investment balances in 2003.&#160;
We expect interest income to increase in the fourth quarter of 2003 due
to an increase in overall investment balances, as a result of the proceeds from
the follow on public offering of our Common Stock that was completed on
September 23, 2003 (the &#147;Offering&#148;).</p>

and uncertainty as to the extent of profitability in future periods, we continue
to record a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets.&#160; As a result, we did not reflect a provision
for income taxes during the three months ended September 30, 2003.&#160;&#160; Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(&#147;SFAS&#148;) No. 109 &#147;Accounting for

allowance was $5.4 million.</p>

the nine months ended September 30, 2003, working capital increased to $63.0
million as compared to $29.4 million at December 31, 2002.&#160; The increase was primarily due to an
increase in cash and marketable securities due to the sale of</font> 3.0
million shares of our Common Stock at a price of $13.00 per share in a follow
on public offering that was completed on September 23, 2003 (the
&#147;Offering&#148;).&#160; The net proceeds from the
Offering, after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses, were
$36.1 million.&#160; On October 21, 2003, the
underwriters exercised their option to acquire an additional 490,238 shares of
Common Stock to cover over-allotments and we received $6.0 million, net of the

September 30, 2003 our principal sources of liquidity consisted of cash, cash
equivalents and marketable securities of $55.3 million and our revolving credit
line agreement, which expires in April 2004.&#160;
The credit line agreement allows for borrowings of up to $5.0 million,
subject to availability based on accounts receivable and inventory
balances.&#160; We have no outstanding debt at September 30, 2003.&#160; Our liquidity is affected by many factors,

September 30, 2003.&#160; This compares to a
DSO of 99 days in the fourth quarter of 2002.&#160;
The decrease in account receivable DSO was due to an increase in the
amount of customer deposits received for systems we recognized revenue on in
the third quarter of 2003.&#160; Due to the
high mix of international revenues during a given quarter, which generally
require a longer time for collection, we believe our DSO could increase in
future quarters.</p>

an increase in inventory at customer sites under purchase orders; and (iii) an
increase in raw material and work in process inventory to support new product
introductions and increased backlog. The increase in inventory at customer
sites under purchase orders is primarily related to shipments of our AXi
Series.&#160; We anticipate that a portion of
the inventory at customer sites will be recognized as revenue during the fourth
quarter of 2003.&#160; We expect inventory at

Emerging Issues Task Force (&#147;EITF&#148;) reached a consensus on EITF 00-21,&#160; &#147;Revenue Arrangements with Multiple
Deliverables&#148;.&#160; This Issue addresses
certain aspects of the accounting by a vendor for arrangements under which it will
perform multiple revenue-generating activities.&nbsp; In some arrangements, the
different revenue-generating activities (deliverables) are sufficiently
separable and there exists sufficient evidence of their fair values to
separately account for some or all of the deliverables (that is, there are
separate units of accounting).&nbsp; In other arrangements, some or all of the
deliverables are not independently functional, or there is not sufficient
evidence of their fair values to account for them separately.&#160; This Issue addresses when and, if so, how an
arrangement involving multiple deliverables should be divided into separate
units of accounting.&nbsp; This Issue does not change otherwise applicable
revenue recognition criteria.&nbsp; The guidance in this Issue is effective for
revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15,
2003.&nbsp; The adoption of EITF 00-21 did not have an effect on our
consolidated financial statements.</font></p>

placing all investments with high quality credit issuers and limit the amount
of investments with any one issuer.&#160; As
of September 30, 2003, 88% of the Investment Portfolio consisted of government
securities and corporate commercial paper and bonds with maturities of one year
or less.&#160; We limit credit risk
associated with trade receivables by performing ongoing credit evaluations and
believe that there is no additional risk beyond amounts provided for collection
losses to be inherent in trade receivables.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.2in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On September 23, 2003, the
Company filed a complaint in the district court of Dallas County, Texas seeking
a declaratory judgment that the Company has no liability to Rudolph
Technologies, Inc. or its subsidiary, ISOA, Inc. (doing business as Yield
Metrology Group), with respect to claims they have asserted against the Company
and its subsidiary, Semiconductor Technologies &amp; Instruments, Inc.
(&#147;STI&#148;).&#160; In various letters and
conversations with STI and the Company, Rudolph has asserted that STI owes
Rudolph development fees and royalty payments pursuant to a December 24, 1997
Development Agreement (the &#147;Development Agreement&#148;) between STI and ISOA, Inc.,
which Rudolph later acquired and renamed Yield Metrology Group.&#160; In addition, the Company is seeking a
judgment against Rudolph and ISOA for repayment of royalties previously paid by
STI to ISOA under the Development Agreement and costs and attorney&#146;s fees
incurred in bringing this action.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.2in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.2in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On September 30, 2003,
Rudolph and ISOA filed an answer and counterclaim, denying the allegations set
forth in the Company&#146;s complaint and claiming that ISOA is entitled to damages
as a result of STI&#146;s breach of the Development Agreement.&#160; ISOA is also seeking a declaratory judgment
that STI and/or the Company are wrongfully using ISOA&#146;s technology without
compensating ISOA.&#160; ISOA is also seeking
a judgment for their attorney&#146;s fees in this matter.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:9.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.2in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In connection with the acquisition of STI, the Company
placed 180,000 shares of its common stock issued in the transaction in escrow
to secure the performance by ASTI Holdings Limited (&#147;ASTI&#148;) of its agreement to
indemnify the Company against damages up to a maximum amount of $670,000 in
connection with STI&#146;s dispute with Rudolph. Shares distributed from the escrow
in payment of any indemnification claim will be valued at the market price of
the Company&#146;s Common Stock on the date of resolution of the claim.&#160; In September 2003, pursuant to an agreement
between the Company, ASTI and the escrow agent, 105,385 of the escrowed shares
were sold and the proceeds of such sale were deposited into the escrow.&#160; The escrow agreement provides that the
escrow would have terminated on October 15, 2003 if a legal proceeding
regarding these issues had not been initiated prior to that date.&#160; Because the Company has initiated this legal
proceeding, the escrow remains in effect until the resolution of the claims
subject to such legal proceeding.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.2in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.2in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman"><font style="font-size:10.0pt;">The</font>
Company may incur significant legal fees and expenses in pursuing this action
for a declaratory judgment.&#160; In
addition, there can be no assurance that the Company will prevail in such
litigation and the Company may suffer an adverse result requiring it to pay
damages or royalties adversely affecting its business.&#160; Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
believes the indemnification escrow established in connection with the
acquisition of STI is reasonably likely to protect the Company against any
losses incurred in connection with Rudolph&#146;s claims.</font></p>
