<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Since our founding in 1992, we have become recognized as a world-class 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, micro electromechanical systems ("MEMS"), data storage and micro displays. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Rapid
advances in microelectronic device technology have allowed manufacturers to enhance the quality and capabilities of these devices. These same enhancements have also increased the
cost and complexity of the manufacturing process, as well as the need to ensure quality and reliability, and have made inspection and rapid detection of defects during multiple stages of the
manufacturing process increasingly critical. Our products address the need to automate the inspection process for advanced macro defect detection, a process that is otherwise typically performed
manually by engineers and technicians using microscopes. Using manual inspection, microelectronic manufacturers are unable to capture critical process data quickly by inspecting every wafer and die
after each process step, resulting in a loss of yield, productivity constraints, potentially defective shipments, slower time-to-market, or increased labor and facility
requirements. We help solve these problems by providing: </FONT></P>

have traditionally provided systems to address the automated inspection needs of the final manufacturing, or back-end, of the microelectronic device manufacturing process,
including test, assembly and packaging. We recently have introduced two new systems for advanced macro detection earlier in the front-end wafer manufacturing process. In addition to
internal development, we look to expand through strategic acquisitions of complementary products and technologies. In April&nbsp;2003, we completed the acquisition of Semiconductor
Technologies&nbsp;&amp; Instruments, Inc. ("STI"), adding the WAV Series for high speed wafer probe mark inspection and metrology. In July&nbsp;2003, we acquired the assets of Counterpoint
Solutions,&nbsp;Inc. ("CSI"), including the VersaScope, a system in development for advanced microscope-based imaging and analysis, allowing us to serve our customers earlier in their device

deducting the underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses and giving effect to the issuance of 30,000 shares of our common stock issuable to selling shareholders upon the exercise of stock

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>The microelectronic industries that we serve are highly cyclical, causing significant variability in our results of operations.  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We primarily serve microelectronic industries, and our business depends heavily upon capital expenditures by manufacturers in these industries. Microelectronic
industries are highly cyclical, with periods of capacity shortage and periods of excess capacity; this is historically due to sudden changes in demand for microelectronic devices. In periods of excess
capacity, there are often drastic changes in the timing and quantity of capital equipment purchases and investments in new technology or capacity needs by our customers, including sharp cuts in
purchases of capital equipment, including our products, by customers. The timing, length and volatility of these periods are difficult to predict, resulting in pressure on our revenues, gross margin
and net income. In addition to affecting our customers, downturns also challenge our suppliers, vendors, other partners, as well as our management, sales, engineering, manufacturing, customer service
and other employees, who are vital to our success. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During
downturns in microelectronic industries, customers typically reduce or delay purchases, and/or delay delivery or cancel orders. As a result, it is imperative that we maintain an
organization able to quickly and effectively align with market conditions, including bringing our cost structures in line with current industry and overall market conditions. At the same time, it is
imperative that we meet the following objectives: </FONT></P>

<UL>
<DL compact>
<DT style='margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD><FONT SIZE=2>continue
to serve our existing customers,
<BR><BR></FONT></DD><DT style='margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD><FONT SIZE=2>provide
new and improved solutions for new and existing customers,

<BR><BR></FONT></DD><DT style='margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD><FONT SIZE=2>motivate
and retain key employees. </FONT></DD></DL>
</UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
we are, for any reason, unable to achieve any one or more of the above objectives in an efficient, effective and timely manner, there could be a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, any delays or reductions in future purchases of capital equipment or delays or cancellations of current orders by microelectronic
device manufacturers, for any reason, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Our future rate of growth is highly dependent on the development and growth of the market for microelectronic device inspection equipment.  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We primarily target our products to address the needs of microelectronic device manufacturers for defect inspection and metrology. If for any reason the market
for microelectronic device inspection equipment fails to grow in the long term as we expect, we may be unable to maintain current revenue levels in the short term and return to our historical growth
in the long term. Growth in this market is dependent to a large extent upon microelectronic manufacturers replacing manual inspection with automated inspection technology. There is no assurance that
manufacturers will undertake this replacement at the rate we expect. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
cannot predict the impact of these and other factors on our revenues and operating results in any future period. Results of operations in any period, therefore, should not be
considered indicative of the results to be expected for any future period. Because of this difficulty in predicting future performance, our operating results may fall below expectations of securities
analysts or investors in some future
quarter or quarters. Our failure to meet these expectations would likely adversely affect the market price of our common stock. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Global economic and political environments are important to economic conditions, and long term continued risk or concerns regarding economic and political circumstances could
decrease customer demand for our products.  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Future political or related events similar or comparable to the September&nbsp;11, 2001 terrorist attacks, significant military conflicts, or long term
reactions of governments and society to such events, may significantly affect the willingness or ability of our customers to visit our facilities or trade shows, review our systems' capabilities
and/or purchase or take delivery of our products, as well as our abilities to visit our customers, to perform application studies for our customers, to sell and deliver solutions and to service those
solutions. Any decline in the willingness or ability of our customers to travel and visit our facilities, or in our ability to travel and visit our customers, could have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, such events could have an adverse effect on the economy generally, and microelectronic industries in particular, causing our
customers to reduce or delay capital equipment purchases. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Two product lines account for a significant portion of our sales, and consequently, continued market acceptance of these product lines is critical to our success.  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Approximately 67% of our net revenues in the first half of 2003, and 45% of our net revenues in 2002, came from the sales of our NSX Series and approximately 10%
of our net revenues in the first half of 2003 and 37% of our net revenues in 2002 came from the sales of our 3Di Series. Although we have introduced new products in 2003 including the AXi Series and
EXi Series, and intend to introduce additional new products in 2003, we still expect that the NSX Series and 3Di Series will continue to account for at least a majority of our net revenues for the

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>The market acceptance of our products is critical to our growth.  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Microelectronic device manufacturing equipment and processes are subject to rapid technological changes. We continue to spend a significant amount of time and
resources developing new systems, new models to existing system series and improvements or enhancements on current models. Due to the length of the product development cycles in our industries, we
must make these significant time and
resource expenditures well in advance of any prospect of a revenue stream from such new products. If our customers do not continue to accept our current products and also accept and integrate our new
products into their operations, our revenue, cash flow, operating results or stock price could be negatively impacted. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Our growth expectations are dependent on successfully penetrating the front-end of the microelectronic device manufacturing process.  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have recently introduced the AXi Series and EXi Series which address inspection and metrology needs in the front-end of the microelectronic device
manufacturing process, a market segment that we have limited experience in serving. We are not a well-recognized supplier to this market, and will need to establish new customer
relationships and win the confidence of these customers to compete effectively in this market. The front-end of the microelectronic device manufacturing market is dominated by large,
well-established competitors with significantly greater resources and name recognition than we have. In order to compete effectively with these larger competitors, we must develop process
and applications expertise to identify the inspection needs of this market and produce cost-effective, technologically advanced solutions addressing these needs. In addition, we must
create and execute programs to effectively service these customers. Failure to successfully penetrate the front-end of the microelectronic device manufacturing market would adversely
affect our business. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>If we are unable to keep pace with rapid technological changes by developing and introducing successful new products and technologies in a timely manner, our products may
become obsolete and our business will be harmed.  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The microelectronic capital equipment manufacturing business is a highly competitive business and microelectronic device manufacturing equipment and processes are
subject to rapid technological changes. We believe that our future success will depend in part upon our ability to continue to enhance our existing product line to meet customer needs and to develop
and introduce new products in a timely manner. We cannot assure you that our product enhancement efforts to improve and advance products, such as the NSX Series and the 3Di Series, or our new product
development efforts such as the AXi Series and EXi Series, will be successful or that we will be able to respond effectively to technological change. In addition, we cannot assure that we will choose
the most opportunistic new markets and applications. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our products are complex and often the applications of our customers are unique. We believe that our future success will depend in part upon our ability to meet
our customers' functionality and reliability requirements in a timely manner. We cannot be sure that our product offerings, application assistance, enhancement efforts, or our new product development
efforts will fulfill every functionality and reliability requirement. In addition, new product offerings that are highly complex in terms of software or hardware may require application or service
work such as bug fixing prior to acceptance, thereby delaying revenue recognition. If we are unsuccessful in these areas, our market share, revenue, operating results or stock price could be
negatively impacted. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Our market is highly competitive and we may lose business to larger and better-financed competitors.  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The microelectronic defect inspection equipment industry is highly competitive in all areas of the world. We have many domestic and foreign competitors. Our
current primary competitors in final manufacturing are Camtek&nbsp;Ltd., Hitachi,&nbsp;Ltd., Robotic Vision Systems,&nbsp;Inc., and Toray Industries,&nbsp;Inc. As we enter the
front-end market, we expect to compete with larger competitors, such as KLA-Tencor Corporation and Rudolph Technologies,&nbsp;Inc., for certain automated macro inspection
applications. Most of these competitors, as well as other potential competitors, have substantially greater financial resources and more extensive engineering, manufacturing, marketing and customer
support capabilities than we have. Unless we are able to invest significant financial resources in developing products and enhancing customer support worldwide, and are able to gain customer
acceptance of our products, we may not be able to compete effectively. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
we continue to diversify into the evolving and emerging microelectronic markets, including semiconductors, advanced packaging, optoelectronics, MEMS, flat panel display, printheads,
data storage, disk drives, medical devices and other similar devices, further competitors may enter our markets, or we may enter the markets of other companies. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Third parties may claim that we are infringing upon their intellectual property and we could suffer significant litigation costs, licensing expenses or be prevented from
selling our products.  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Intellectual property rights are uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. We may be unknowingly infringing upon the intellectual property rights
of others and may be liable for that infringement, which could result in significant liability for us. If we do infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others, we could be forced to either
seek a license to those intellectual property rights or to alter our products so that they no longer infringe. A license could be very expensive to obtain or may not be available at all. Similarly,
changing our products or processes to avoid infringing upon the rights of others may be costly or impractical. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
may become responsible for patent litigation costs. If we were to become involved in a dispute regarding intellectual property, whether ours or that of another company, we may have to
participate in legal proceedings. These types of proceedings may be costly and time-consuming for us,
even if we eventually prevail. If we do not prevail, we might be forced to pay significant damages, obtain licenses, modify our products or processes, stop making products or stop using processes. </FONT></P>

<P>


<FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On September&nbsp;23, 2003, we filed a complaint in the district court of Dallas County, Texas seeking a declaratory judgment that we have no liability to
Rudolph Technologies,&nbsp;Inc. or its subsidiary, ISOA,&nbsp;Inc. (doing business as Yield Metrology Group) with respect to claims they have asserted against us and our subsidiary, STI. In
addition, we are seeking a judgment against Rudolph and ISOA for repayment of royalties previously paid by STI to ISOA and costs and attorney's fees incurred in bringing this action. In various
letters and conversations with STI and us, Rudolph has asserted that STI owes Rudolph development fees and royalty payments pursuant to a December&nbsp;24, 1997 development agreement between STI and
ISOA,&nbsp;Inc., which Rudolph later acquired and renamed Yield Metrology Group. Rudolph has also asserted that we may have used ISOA technology in the development of one of our products and owe
additional royalties to Rudolph as a result. We may incur significant legal fees and expenses in pursuing this action for a declaratory judgment. In addition, there can be no assurance that we will
prevail in such litigation and we may suffer an adverse result requiring us to pay damages or royalties adversely affecting our business.

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Our dependence on a few significant customers exposes us to operating risks.  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sales to our ten largest customers accounted for 83% of net revenues in the first half of 2003, 66% of net revenues in 2002, 75% of net revenues in 2001 and 63%
of net revenues in 2000. In 2002, we had two customers each account for more than ten percent of our business, with one accounting for almost sixteen percent. Our customers are able to cancel orders,
prior to shipment, with few or no penalties. If a significant customer reduces orders or delays shipments for any reason, our revenues, operating results and financial condition will be negatively
affected. In addition, our ability to increase our sales will depend in part upon our ability to obtain orders from new customers for whom there is intense competition. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Our dependence on subcontractors and sole or limited source suppliers may prevent us from delivering an acceptable product on a timely basis and could result in disruption of
our operations.  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We rely on subcontractors to manufacture many of the components and subassemblies for our products and we depend on single or limited source suppliers for some of
our components. Our reliance on subcontractors reduces the level of control we have over the manufacturing process and exposes us to significant risks such as inadequate capacity, late delivery,
substandard quality and high costs. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
a supplier were to become unable to provide parts in the volumes needed or at an acceptable price, we would have to identify and qualify acceptable replacements from alternative
sources of supply, or manufacture the components internally. Depending on the part, the process of qualifying subcontractors and suppliers generally takes between 60 and 180&nbsp;days. We generally
do not have written supply agreements with our single or limited source suppliers and purchase our custom components through blanket and individual purchase orders. If we were unable to obtain these
components in a timely fashion, we may not be able to meet demands for future shipments. We believe that we would be able to find alternative solutions if supplies were unavailable from any of our
sole source suppliers, including the supplier of our image processing component. This may take time and the disruption would adversely affect our results of operations. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>We assemble and test all of our products at a single facility, and any disruption in the operations of that facility could adversely impact our business and operating results.  </B></FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our processes for manufacturing our automated inspection systems require sophisticated and costly equipment and a specially designed facility. We assemble and
test all of our automated inspection systems at one facility located in Bloomington, Minnesota. Any disruption in the operation of that facility, whether due to technical or labor difficulties,
destruction or damage from fire or earthquake, infrastructure failures such as power or water shortage or any other reason, could interrupt our manufacturing operations, impair critical systems,
disrupt communications with our customers and suppliers and cause us to write off inventory and to lose sales. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Failure to adjust our orders for parts and subcomponents in an accurate and timely manner in response to changing market conditions or customer acceptance of our products could
adversely affect our financial position and earnings.  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our earnings could be harmed and our inventory levels could materially increase if we are unable to predict our inventory needs in an accurate and timely manner
and adjust our orders for parts and subcomponents should our needs increase or decrease materially due to unexpected increases or
decreases in demand for our products. Any material increase in our inventories could result in an adverse effect on our financial position, while any material decrease in our ability to procure needed
inventories could result in an inability to supply customer demand for our products thus adversely affecting our revenues. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Our dependence upon international customers and suppliers may reduce our revenues or impede our ability to supply products.  </B></FONT></P>

<P>


<FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;International sales have accounted for a significant and growing portion of our revenues in recent years and we expect that the percentage of sales from
international customers will continue to increase. Sales outside of the United States accounted for 68% of our net revenues in the first half of 2003, 52% of our net revenues in 2002, 44% of our net
revenues in 2001 and 45% of our net revenues in 2000. In addition, we rely on non-U.S. suppliers for several components of the systems we sell. As a result, a major part of our revenues
and the ability to manufacture our products are subject to the risks associated with international commerce. International sales and our relationships with suppliers and customers may be hurt by many
factors, including:

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Our financial performance is highly dependent upon sales to customers in Asia.  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sales to customers in Asia accounted for 57% of our net revenues in the first half of 2003 and 45% of our net revenues in all of 2002. We expect our dependence
upon the Asian market to increase. In recent years, Asia has experienced serious economic problems including currency devaluations, debt defaults, lack of liquidity and recessions. Our revenues depend
upon the capital expenditures of microelectronic manufacturers, many of whom have operations and customers in Asia. Serious economic problems in Asia would likely result in a significant decrease in
the sale of equipment to microelectronic industries. If we are unable to maintain our customer relationships in Asia, our future financial condition, revenues and operating results will be negatively
affected. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>We will continue to rely upon distributors for a portion of our future sales, and a disruption in our relationships with these distributors could have a negative impact on our

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sales through our independent distributors represented 19% of our net revenues in the first half of 2003 and 8% of our net revenues in all of 2002. We expect this
percentage to continue to increase in the near term. In addition, two distributors account for a significant portion of these sales. The activities of these distributors are not fully within our
control. Although we believe that we maintain good relations with our independent distributors, the relationships may nevertheless deteriorate in the future. A reduction in the sales or service
efforts or financial viability of any of our independent distributors, or a termination of our relationships with them, could harm our sales, our financial results and our ability to support our
customers. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>We recently acquired STI and CSI and we may make other acquisitions; the acquisitions of STI and CSI and any future acquisitions may not be successful and may adversely affect

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We believe that once a microelectronic device manufacturer has selected one vendor's capital equipment for a production line application, the manufacturer
generally relies upon that capital equipment and, to the extent possible, subsequent generations of the same vendor's equipment, for the life of the application. Once a vendor's equipment has been
installed in a production line, a microelectronic device manufacturer must often make substantial technical modifications and may experience production-line downtime in order to switch to
another vendor's equipment. Accordingly, unless our systems offer performance or cost advantages that outweigh a customer's expense of switching to our systems, it will be difficult for us to achieve
significant sales to that customer once it has selected another vendor's capital equipment for an application. </FONT></P>

for general corporate purposes, including working capital, research and development, capital expenditures, and for potential acquisitions of complementary products, technologies or businesses.
Consequently, our management will have significant flexibility in applying the net proceeds of this offering. You will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of the

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Future sales of substantial amounts of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the
prevailing market price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise additional capital through future sales of equity securities. Assuming completion of this offering and no other
changes in our outstanding shares as of August&nbsp;15, 2003 we would have 16,661,572 shares outstanding. In addition, our directors, officers and employees will have the right to purchase up to
1,908,684 additional shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under our existing equity incentive compensation plans after giving effect to the exercise of options to acquire
30,000&nbsp;shares by the selling shareholders. Holders of 1,561,742 shares of our common stock, after giving effect to the offering, have agreed with the underwriters to refrain from selling their
shares for a period of 90&nbsp;days after this offering. As these restrictions on resale end, the market price of our common stock could drop significantly if holders of these shares sell them or,
if the market perceives they intend to sell them. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Anti-takeover provisions of our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, Amended and Restated Bylaws and Minnesota law could diminish the
opportunity for shareholders to participate in acquisition proposals at a price above the then current market price of our common stock. The provisions may also inhibit increases in the market price
of our stock that could result from takeover attempts. For example, while we have no present plans to issue any additional series or classes of capital stock, our board of directors, without further
shareholder approval, may issue additional series or classes that could have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control. The issuance of additional series or classes could
adversely affect the voting power of your shares. In addition, our Bylaws provide for a classified board of directors consisting of three classes and require a 75% vote for removal of directors. These
provisions could also have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control. </FONT></P>

<P>


<FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We estimate that the net proceeds from the sale of the 3,000,000 shares of common stock that we are offering will be approximately $36.4&nbsp;million (or
approximately $42.4&nbsp;million if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option) after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.
Except for the receipt of approximately $51,246 upon exercise of outstanding options by selling shareholders in connection with this offering, we will not receive any proceeds from the sale of 268,250
shares of common stock by the selling shareholders.

 </FONT>

</P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
expect to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital, research and development, capital expenditures, and for potential
acquisitions of complementary products, technologies or businesses; however, we currently have no commitments or agreements with respect to any acquisitions. As of the date of this prospectus, we
cannot specify with certainty the particular uses for the net proceeds we will receive in this offering. Accordingly, our management will have broad discretion in applying our net proceeds from this
offering. Pending the uses described above, we intend to invest the net proceeds in investment grade, interest-bearing instruments. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Introduction  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Since our founding in 1992, we have become recognized as a world-class 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><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have traditionally provided systems to address the automated inspection needs of the final manufacturing or back-end of the microelectronic device manufacturing process,
including test, assembly and packaging. We recently have introduced two new systems for advanced macro detection earlier in the front-end wafer manufacturing process. In addition to
internal development, we look to expand through strategic acquisitions of complementary products and technologies. In April&nbsp;2003 we completed the acquisition of STI, adding the WAV Series for
high speed wafer probe mark inspection and metrology. In July&nbsp;2003 we acquired the assets of CSI, including the VersaScope, a system in development for advanced microscope-based imaging and
analysis, allowing us to serve our customers earlier in their device development process. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
business is subject to the cyclical nature of the microelectronic device manufacturing markets we serve. 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' 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>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During
the second quarter of 2001, in response to the current downturn, we began to implement, and are still operating under components of, a series of cost management programs. The
programs included, at various times, raw material cost reductions, reductions in temporary and contract staffs, work force reductions, mandatory time-off, decreases in discretionary
spending and reductions in executive compensation and overtime. Although we continued to maintain various components of the cost management programs during 2002 and the first half of 2003, these
savings were offset by our decision to invest in developing our worldwide sales and service organization and in the continued </FONT></P>

or 49.8% of net revenues, for the same period in 2002. The increase in expense dollars was primarily due to costs associated with the integration and ongoing operations of STI,
higher variable costs associated with the higher revenues, and costs associated with systems being evaluated by customers. The increase was partially offset by the fact that the prior year included
costs related to the modification of our distributor agreement with Metron Technology B.V. </FONT></P>

$5.2&nbsp;million, or 36.3% of net revenues, for the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2003, from $4.9&nbsp;million, or 38.9% of net revenues, for the same period in 2002. The increase in expenses
was primarily due to costs incurred during the first quarter of 2003 related to completing certain stages of development of our new AXi and EXi Series, and costs associated with the ongoing operations
of STI. </FONT></P>

to $382,000 for the same period in 2002. 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. Even though our cash and marketable securities increased during the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2003, we had a net use of cash, subsequent to the second quarter of 2002, to fund
operations and acquire property and equipment. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Income Taxes.</I></B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Due to the recording of a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, we
continued to reflect no benefit from income taxes during the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2003. The recording of the valuation allowance in the second quarter of 2002 resulted in a provision for
income taxes of $687,000 during the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2002, rather than the recording of a tax benefit on the pre-tax loss during the period. </FONT></P>

from $29.8&nbsp;million in 2001. The decrease in net revenues was the result of lower NSX Series revenues, partially offset by revenues from our 3Di Series, which was introduced in the fourth
quarter of 2001. The decrease in NSX Series revenues was due to the continued downturn in the microelectronic industries. Net revenues derived from international sales represented 52% and 44% of net
revenues in 2002 and 2001, respectively. International net revenues were primarily the result of sales to Asia, which comprised 45% and 34% of net revenues in 2002 and 2001, respectively. </FONT></P>

$17.7&nbsp;million, or 59.6% of net revenues, in 2001. The decrease in gross margin percentage was primarily due to a decrease in the number of systems manufactured, which resulted in lower
manufacturing utilization and increased labor and overhead costs per system sold, and was also impacted by sales of models within the 3Di Series that had lower margins than our other products. </FONT></P>

of revenues was due to the increase in expenses and the decrease in net revenues. The expense dollars in 2002 increased due to the restructuring related expenses noted below and (i)&nbsp;costs
associated with systems being evaluated by customers; (ii)&nbsp;higher travel expenses due to increased international travel in our sales and service organization; and (iii)&nbsp;depreciation

to $9.8&nbsp;million, or 39.3% of net revenues, in 2002, from $7.9&nbsp;million, or 26.7% of net revenues, in 2001. The increase was primarily due to (i)&nbsp;our focus on advancing the
development of new and existing products in each of our product lines, which led to the hiring of additional engineers and the use of additional outside contractors; (ii)&nbsp;depreciation and
amortization expense related to assets and software capitalized subsequent to 2001; and (iii)&nbsp;travel costs related to visiting customer locations. These increases were partially offset by
various components of our cost management programs. </FONT></P>

$1.4&nbsp;million in 2001. The decrease is due to lower overall investment balances in 2002, due to the use of cash to fund operations and acquire property and equipment, and lower rates of return
earned on investment balances. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Income Taxes.</I></B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The provision for income taxes in 2002 was $687,000, or an effective tax rate of 8.3%,
compared to a benefit of $813,000, or an effective tax rate of 69.8%, in 2001. The income tax expense in 2002 is due to the recording of a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets in the
second quarter of 2002. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.&nbsp;109 "Accounting for Income Taxes," requires the establishment of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of the
realization of deferred tax assets. As a result of our taxable earnings history and uncertainty as to the extent and timing of profitability in future periods, we have recorded a full valuation
allowance of $5.4&nbsp;million against deferred tax assets at December&nbsp;31, 2002. The high effective income tax rate in 2001, compared to the federal statutory rate of 34% plus state and local
taxes, was primarily due to the impact of federal and state general business and extraterritorial income credits and tax exempt interest income that could not be utilized until future years due to our
net loss. </FONT></P>

from $31.7&nbsp;million in 2000. The decrease in net revenues was the result of fewer shipments of our NSX systems due to a worldwide decline in capital spending by microelectronic device
manufacturers throughout 2001. This decline was the result of a significant slowdown in demand for the devices these manufacturers produce, which resulted in manufacturers having increased inventory,
overcapacity and, consequently, lower capital spending. Net revenues derived from the sale of NSX systems represented 77% and 90% of net revenues in 2001 and 2000, respectively. </FONT></P>

increased due to the restructuring related expenses noted below and higher salaries and benefits related to sales, customer service and administrative employees hired during the second half of 2000

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Liquidity and Capital Resources  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2003, working capital decreased to $27.6&nbsp;million as compared to $29.4&nbsp;million at December&nbsp;31,
2002. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in accounts payable and customer deposits and the use of cash to acquire STI and property and equipment, partially offset by the reinvestment of
maturities of long-term marketable securities into short-term marketable securities. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At
June&nbsp;30, 2003 our principal sources of liquidity consisted of $20.2&nbsp;million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and our revolving credit line agreement,
which expires in April&nbsp;2004. The credit line agreement allows for borrowings of up to $5.0&nbsp;million, subject to availability based on accounts receivable and inventory balances. We have
no outstanding debt at June&nbsp;30, 2003. Our liquidity is affected by many factors, some of which are based on the normal ongoing operations of our business, the most significant of which include
the timing of the collection of receivables, the level of inventories and capital expenditures and acquisitions. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Accounts Receivable.</I></B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our accounts receivable decreased $1.9&nbsp;million from December&nbsp;31,
2002 to June&nbsp;30, 2003, representing 59&nbsp;days' sales outstanding ("DSO") during the three months ended June&nbsp;30, 2003. This compares to a DSO of 99&nbsp;days in the fourth quarter
of 2002. Due to the high mix of international revenues during a given quarter, which generally require a longer time for collection, we believe our DSO will be between 70 and 80&nbsp;days in the
third and fourth quarters of 2003. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Inventories.</I></B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our inventories increased $2.8&nbsp;million from December&nbsp;31, 2002 to
June&nbsp;30, 2003, primarily due to inventory acquired with STI and an increase in inventory at customer sites under purchase orders. The increase in inventory at customer sites under purchase
orders is primarily related to shipments of our AXi Series. We anticipate that a portion of the inventory at customer sites will be recognized as revenue during the third quarter of 2003. We expect
inventory at customer sites under purchase orders will increase as shipments of newly introduced products increase. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Capital Expenditures.</I></B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our capital expenditures during the quarter were $360,000, and we expect our
total capital expenditures to be between $1.0 and $1.5&nbsp;million in 2003. Capital expenditures consist primarily of the capitalization of finished goods used to support our engineering, sales and
service efforts. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Acquisitions.</I></B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition to the cash paid for the acquisitions of STI and CSI, we anticipate using
additional cash to integrate these operations. The amount of additional cash is dependent upon how quickly and effectively we complete the integrations. Unanticipated integration problems or costs may
adversely affect our overall level of liquidity. As a result of the acquisition of STI, we entered into a two year lease for 10,600 square feet of space in Plano, Texas at an annual rental cost of
approximately $106,000. As a result of the acquisition of CSI, we will lease 1,200 square feet in Thornwood, New York at a monthly rental cost of approximately $2,200. The lease may be terminated at
any time with a six month notice. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
liquidity is also affected by factors beyond our control related to the uncertainties of global economies and the cyclical nature of the microelectronic industries we serve. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Although
liquidity requirements will fluctuate based on the timing and extent of all of these factors and others, we believe that existing cash and investment balances, along with the
net proceeds of the common stock we are offering and our line of credit, will be adequate to satisfy our existing liquidity requirements for at least the next twelve months. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Cash Flows  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2003 was $3.3&nbsp;million, which resulted primarily from decreased accounts

payable partially offset by our net loss and increased inventory during the period. Net cash used in investing activities was $3.8&nbsp;million, primarily due to $1.8&nbsp;million of net
purchases of marketable securities, $1.4&nbsp;million of cash paid to acquire STI and $588,000 of purchases of property and equipment. Net cash provided by financing activities was $176,000,
primarily from the proceeds received from issuances of common stock. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net
cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2002 was $1.2&nbsp;million, resulting primarily from our net loss, which was partially offset by
non-cash charges and decreased prepaid expenses and other current assets. Net cash provided by investing activities was $2.0&nbsp;million, primarily due to $3.3&nbsp;million of net
proceeds from maturities of marketable debt securities offset by the purchases of $1.3&nbsp;million of property and equipment and other assets. Net cash provided by financing activities was

sales are accounted for as multiple-element arrangements. In transactions that include multiple products and/or services, we allocate the revenue to each element based on their

ended December&nbsp;31, 2002, 2001 and 2000. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Valuation of Accounts Receivable.</I></B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We review accounts receivable to determine which are doubtful of
collection. In making the determination of the appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts, we consider our history of write-offs, relationships with our customers and the overall credit
worthiness of our customers. For the three years ended December&nbsp;31, 2002, we have had accounts receivable write-offs totaling $20,000, and had no write-offs during the six months
ended June&nbsp;30, 2003. Changes in the credit worthiness of customers, general economic conditions and other factors may impact the level of future write-offs. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Valuation of Inventory.</I></B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We review inventory for obsolescence and excess quantities to determine that
items deemed obsolete or excess are appropriately reserved. In making the determination, we consider future sales of related products and the quantity of inventory at the balance sheet date assessed
against each part's past usage rates and future expected usage rates. For the three years ended December&nbsp;31, 2002, we have written off inventory totaling $200,000. We had an allowance for
obsolete and excess inventory of $320,000 at June&nbsp;30, 2003, which represents our estimate of obsolete and excess inventory. Changes in factors such as technology, customer demand, competitor
product introductions and other matters could affect the level of obsolete and excess inventory in the future. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Accounting for Income Taxes.</I></B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to
estimate our actual current tax exposure together with our temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of tax items for tax and accounting. These temporary differences result in the
recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within our consolidated balance sheet. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.&nbsp;109 "Accounting for Income Taxes,"
requires the establishment of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets. Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for
income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets. We evaluate the weight of all available evidence to determine whether it
is more likely than not
that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. During 2002 and the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2003, we recorded a valuation allowance for the full amount of our
deferred tax assets due to uncertainties surrounding our ability to utilize some or all of our deferred tax assets, primarily consisting of certain net operating losses, as well as other temporary
differences between book and tax accounting. If the realization of deferred tax assets in the future is considered more likely than not, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would increase net

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Acquisitions  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On April&nbsp;15, 2003, we completed the purchase of all of the outstanding capital stock of STI, pursuant to a Settlement and Purchase Agreement dated
February&nbsp;26, 2003, as amended, by and between August, STI and STI's sole shareholder, ASTI Holdings, Limited ("ASTI") of Singapore. The Settlement and Purchase Agreement also resolved any
remaining disputes between us and STI and ASTI regarding the May&nbsp;23, 2002 Purchase Agreement with STI and ASTI that we terminated in August&nbsp;2002. Pursuant to the Settlement and Purchase
Agreement, we purchased all of the outstanding stock of STI for a purchase price of $1.25&nbsp;million in cash and 215,385 shares of our common stock. We used existing cash resources to pay the cash
portion of the purchase price. The parties have placed 215,000 shares issued in the transaction in escrow to secure ASTI's performance of certain covenants including ASTI's agreement to indemnify us
against damages in connection with STI's dispute with a third party. See "Business&#151;Legal Proceedings" for a discussion of the dispute. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
July&nbsp;3, 2003, we acquired substantially all the assets of CSI, a Thornwood, New York based developer of wafer inspection, review and failure analysis solutions. The transaction
was structured as an asset acquisition, with purchase consideration consisting of 200,000 shares of our common stock, $57,000 of cash paid at closing and up to an additional $100,000 of cash to be
paid upon the achievement of certain product sales, amounting to approximately $1.55&nbsp;million. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Impact of Accounting Standards  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In December&nbsp;2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") reached a consensus on EITF 00-21, "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables."
This issue addresses certain aspects of the accounting by a vendor for arrangements under which it will perform multiple revenue-generating activities. 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). 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. This issue addresses when and, if so, how an arrangement involving multiple deliverables should be divided into separate units of accounting. This issue does not change otherwise
applicable revenue recognition criteria. The guidance in this issue is effective for revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June&nbsp;15, 2003. The adoption of EITF
00-21 will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
April&nbsp;2003, the FASB issued SFAS No.&nbsp;149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging," which amends and clarifies financial accounting and
reporting for derivative instruments. SFAS&nbsp;149 became effective for us in July&nbsp;2003. We do not expect that the adoption of SFAS&nbsp;149 will have an effect on our consolidated
financial statements. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
May&nbsp;15, 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.&nbsp;150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and
Equity." This Statement requires issuers to classify as liabilities (or assets in some circumstance) three classes of freestanding financial instruments that embody obligations for the issuer.
Generally, the statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May&nbsp;31, 2003 and is otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning
after June&nbsp;15, 2003. We adopted the provisions of the statement on July&nbsp;1, 2003. We did not enter into any financial instruments within the scope of the statement during
June&nbsp;2003. We do not expect that the adoption of SFAS&nbsp;150 will have an effect on our consolidated financial statements. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Since our founding in 1992, we have become recognized as a world-class 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><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have traditionally provided systems to address the automated inspection needs of the final manufacturing or back-end of the microelectronic device manufacturing process,
including test, assembly and packaging. We recently have introduced two new systems for advanced macro detection earlier in the front-end wafer manufacturing process. In addition to
internal development, we look to expand through strategic acquisitions of complementary products and technologies. In April&nbsp;2003 we completed the acquisition of STI, adding the WAV product line
for high speed wafer probe mark inspection and metrology. In July&nbsp;2003 we acquired the assets of CSI, including the VersaScope, a system in development for advanced microscope-based imaging and
analysis, allowing us to serve our customers earlier in their device development process. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Our Market  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Rapid advances in semiconductor and other microelectronic device technology, including miniaturization, increasing complexity and advanced packaging and
interconnect solutions, allow manufacturers to enhance the quality and capabilities of their devices. These advances often increase both the complexity of the processes required to produce the devices
and the associated production costs. Because of these increased costs and the need to ensure that performance and reliability are not sacrificed, the role of inspection and rapid detection of defects
during multiple stages of the microelectronic production process is becoming increasingly critical. Defects can occur throughout the manufacturing process as a result of such things as equipment
misalignment, contamination, residue, corrosion, or the misapplication of various films. Defects such as scratches, cracks and chip-outs also can be generated by mechanical handling in the
manufacturing process. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Historically,
manufacturers generally have relied on engineers and technicians using microscopes to manually inspect sample batches of wafers to detect defects during the various stages
of the manufacturing process. As a result, it has been impractical and cost-prohibitive for manufacturers to capture critical process data by inspecting every wafer and die after each
process step. These manual inspection limitations result in the following: </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yield loss due to a lack of process data.</I></B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The inability to capture adequate data throughout the
manufacturing process prevents microelectronic device manufacturers from locating problems on a timely basis and taking corrective action. Timely corrective action could minimize the scrapping of
valuable wafers and improve the process for and yield of future products. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Productivity constraints.</I></B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As microelectronic devices have become more complex, the need for more
extensive inspections and defect data has increased significantly. Given these requirements, manufacturers must either add more technicians, significantly impacting productivity of the microelectronic
fabrication facility, or fab, or assume a greater risk of defects remaining undetected until later in the process. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Defective product shipments.</I></B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;By inspecting less than 100% of their products, manual inspection
requires manufacturers to assume a greater risk of shipping defective products to their customers. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Slower time-to-market.</I></B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As microelectronic device and end-product
life cycles decrease, the speed at which manufacturers must reach optimal production yields has become increasingly critical. This pressure to minimize time-to-market requires
manufacturers to reduce the amount of time spent training technicians, qualifying new production equipment and managing the logistics of a manual inspection process. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Increased labor and facility requirements.</I></B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The large number of technicians and microscopes needed to
manually inspect microelectronic devices requires valuable floor space and significant capital commitments. In addition, attracting and retaining qualified technicians have become increasingly
difficult. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Automated
inspection systems and data management and analysis software allow manufacturers to overcome these limitations by allowing them to inspect 100% of their products and identify
and resolve these defects at various stages of the manufacturing process, helping to drive down production costs,
increase throughput and decrease time-to-market. Gartner Dataquest estimates the combined markets for inspection and metrology equipment and process control software for wafer
fabrication and packaging to be approximately $2.6&nbsp;billion in 2003, $3.5&nbsp;billion in 2004, $5.1&nbsp;billion in 2005, $4.5&nbsp;billion in 2006 and $3.6&nbsp;billion in 2007. Within
this market, we estimate that our current suite of products, focused on the detection of defects of 0.5 microns or greater, addresses a market opportunity of approximately $143&nbsp;million in 2003,
$225&nbsp;million in 2004, $373&nbsp;million in 2005, $330&nbsp;million in 2006 and $266&nbsp;million in 2007. The projected increase in market size through 2005 and subsequent decrease
reflect the cyclical nature of the microelectronic industries. </FONT></P>

AXi Series, designed specifically as an advanced macro defect inspection tool to be used throughout the fab process. The ability to inspect 100% of wafers for defects between 5 and 10 microns at
throughputs greater than one hundred 300mm wafers per hour, offers device manufacturers new insight into their
complex manufacturing process. We believe other macro defect solutions currently are unable to achieve this combination of resolution and throughput. The AXi Series has been deployed in several lines
at one of the world's leading device manufacturers, where we are working with the customer to bring the systems into full production. We expect additional customer selections for the AXi Series during
the second half of 2003. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have sold our systems to many of the leading microelectronic device manufacturers throughout the world, in markets and applications such as semiconductors,
advanced packaging, optoelectronics, MEMS, data storage and micro displays. In 2002, 52% of our net revenues were derived from sales outside of the U.S., consisting of 37% to customers in Taiwan and
15% to customers in other countries, including South Korea, Singapore, Northern Ireland, Japan, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Customers accounting for greater than 10% of net revenues during
2002 included Intel Corporation and Silicon Precision Industries Co.,&nbsp;Ltd. Customers accounting for greater than 10% of net revenues during 2001 included Intel Corporation and Seagate
Technology LLC. There were no other customers, excluding our distributors, which accounted for greater than 10% of net revenues during 2002 or 2001. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Sales, Service and Marketing  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We provide direct sales, service and field application support through strategically placed offices in key regions throughout the world. In the United States, we
currently have sales and service personnel in California, Arizona, Florida, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Texas and at our corporate headquarters in Minnesota. Internationally, we service
customers directly in Taiwan, China, Southeast Asia, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Benelux, Scandinavia and France. In addition, we have sales and service personnel in Europe, Japan and South Korea to
support our distributors in these areas. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
2001, we modified our ongoing relationship with our distributor, Metron Technology B.V., to exclude Taiwan from its territory and made further modifications in 2002 to focus Metron's
activities entirely on South Korea. With respect to our European distributors, we terminated our distributor agreement with Firfax Systems effective January&nbsp;2003 and notified Quasys AG of our
intent to terminate our distributor agreement effective April&nbsp;2004 in order to provide direct sales, customer service and support to customers in Europe. We market all of our products in Japan
through Marubeni Solutions Corporation and the WAV Series in Europe through High Tech Trade, GmbH. Each of our distributors has entered into an international distributor agreement with us. All of our
distributor agreements grant our distributors an exclusive territory, provide for price and payment procedures, specify the applicable warranty procedures and contain a confidentiality provision. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Manufacturing  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We perform system design, assembly and testing at our headquarters in Bloomington, Minnesota. We utilize an outsourcing strategy for the manufacture of many of
our components and major subassemblies. Our manufacturing activities are considered horizontal in nature and consist primarily of testing and assembling parts, components and subassemblies acquired
from our vendors, and integrating these parts into our products. Our engineering and manufacturing teams work together to continually improve the modularity of our systems and reduce the number of
discrete components and subassemblies required to serve our various product families. To meet specific customer requirements, we often manufacture products that include custom system engineering and
software development. Our manufacturing operations do not require a major investment in capital equipment. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
use numerous domestic and international vendors to supply parts for the manufacture and support of our products. Although we make reasonable efforts to ensure that parts are available
from multiple qualified suppliers, this is not always possible. Accordingly, some key parts are obtained only from a single supplier or a limited group of suppliers. We endeavor to minimize the risk
of product interruption by selecting and qualifying alternative suppliers for key parts, monitoring the financial condition of key suppliers and maintaining appropriate inventories of key parts. We
continually strive to reduce our component lead time and build cycles to maximize the efficiency of our manufacturing operations. During the first half of 2003, we worked with our suppliers to reduce
significantly the lead times of our key components. If we do not receive a sufficient quantity of parts in a timely and cost-effective manner to meet production requirements, our results
of operations may be materially and adversely affected. We do not maintain long-term supply contracts with
any of our suppliers. We do enter into blanket purchase orders with key suppliers for parts with long lead times. These purchase orders are generally to lock-in prices and provide the
supplier with visibility of future requirements. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Intellectual Property  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Proprietary information plays a significant role in the development of our products. We rely upon a combination of contract provisions and copyright, trademark,
patent and trade secret laws to protect our proprietary know-how, ideas, inventions, goodwill and rights in our solutions and products. We also have a policy of seeking U.S. and foreign
patents on technology considered of particular strategic or competitive importance. As of August&nbsp;15, 2003, we had four issued U.S. patents and 49 pending U.S. patent applications on our key
inventions including those associated with our key product lines. We have also applied for foreign patent rights covering our solutions and products in strategic markets. The technological focus of
the issued patents and pending applications includes general microelectronic 2D and 3D inspection techniques as well as devices, systems and processes in the following areas: lighting, focusing,
sensing, viewing, material handling, imaging, inspecting and data manipulating. We also license some of our exclusive and non-exclusive software programs from third party developers and
incorporate them into our products. </FONT></P>

</P>

<P>


<FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;From time to time in the ordinary course of business, we are subject to claims, asserted or unasserted, or named as a party to lawsuits or investigations.
Litigation, in general, and intellectual property and securities litigation in particular, can be expensive and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of legal proceedings
cannot be predicted with any certainty and in the case of more complex legal proceedings such as intellectual property and securities litigation, the results are difficult to predict at all.

<P><FONT SIZE=2>


&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On September&nbsp;23, 2003, we filed a complaint in the district court of Dallas County, Texas seeking a declaratory judgment that we have no liability to Rudolph
Technologies,&nbsp;Inc. or its subsidiary, ISOA,&nbsp;Inc.



(doing business as Yield Metrology Group), with respect to claims they have asserted against us and our subsidiary, STI. In addition, we are seeking a judgment against Rudolph and ISOA for repayment
of royalties previously paid by STI to ISOA and costs and attorney's fees incurred in bringing this action. In various letters and conversations with STI and us, Rudolph has asserted that STI owes
Rudolph development fees and royalty payments pursuant to a December&nbsp;24, 1997 Development Agreement between STI and ISOA,&nbsp;Inc., which Rudolph later acquired and renamed Yield Metrology
Group. Rudolph has also asserted that we may have used ISOA technology in the development of one of our products and owe additional royalties to Rudolph as a result. We believe STI has no obligations
to Rudolph under the December&nbsp;24, 1997 Development Agreement and that we have used no ISOA technology in any of our products.

 </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>


&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In connection with the acquisition of STI, we placed 180,000 shares of our common stock issued in the transaction in escrow to secure ASTI's performance of its agreement to indemnify us
against damages up to a maximum amount of $670,000 in connection with STI's dispute with Rudolph. Shares distributed from the escrow in payment of any indemnification claim will be valued at the
market price

of our common stock on the date of resolution of the claim. The escrow agreement provides that the escrow would have terminated on October&nbsp;15, 2003 if a legal proceeding regarding these issues
had not been initiated prior to that date. Because we have initiated this legal proceeding, the escrow remains in effect until the resolution of the claims subject to such legal proceeding.


</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>


&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We may incur significant legal fees and expenses in pursuing this action for a declaratory judgment. In addition, there can be no assurance that we will prevail in such litigation and we
may suffer an adverse result requiring us to pay damages or royalties adversely affecting our business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we believe the indemnification escrow established in connection
with the acquisition of STI is reasonably likely to protect us against any losses incurred in connection with Rudolph's claims.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement, each underwriter has severally agreed to purchase the number of shares of common stock set forth opposite its name below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The underwriters have advised us and the selling shareholders that the underwriters propose to offer the shares of common stock to the public at the public offering price per share set
forth on the cover page of this prospectus. The underwriters may offer shares to securities dealers, who may include the underwriters, at that public offering price less a concession of up to
$0.44&nbsp;per share. The underwriters may allow, and these dealers may re-allow, a concession to other securities dealers of up



to $0.10&nbsp;per share. After the offering to the public, the offering price and other selling terms may be changed by the underwriters.


</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have granted to the underwriters an option to purchase up to 490,238 additional shares of common stock at the public offering price per share, less the underwriting discount, set
forth on the cover page of this prospectus. This option is exercisable during the 30-day period after the date of this prospectus. The underwriters may exercise this option only to cover
over-allotments, which are discussed below, made in connection with this offering. If this option is exercised, each of the underwriters will be obligated to purchase approximately the
same percentage of the additional shares as the number of shares of common stock to be purchased by that underwriter, as shown in the table above, bears to the total number of shares shown. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>


&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following table shows the per share and total underwriting discount to be paid to the underwriters by us and the selling shareholders. These amounts are shown assuming both no
exercise and full exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares.

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
underwriting agreement also provides that we and the selling shareholders will indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities that may be incurred in connection with this
offering, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments that the underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
underwriters are offering the shares of our common stock, subject to prior sale, when, as and if issued to and accepted by them, subject to approval of legal matters by their
counsel, including the validity of the shares, and other conditions contained in the underwriting agreement, such as the receipt by the underwriters of officers' certificates and legal opinions. The
underwriters reserve the right to withdraw, cancel or modify offers to the public and to reject orders in whole or in part. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have agreed not to offer, sell, contract to sell, grant options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of any shares of our common stock or securities exchangeable for or convertible into
our common stock for a period of 90&nbsp;days after the date of this prospectus without the prior written consent of Needham&nbsp;&amp; Company,&nbsp;Inc. This agreement does not apply to the grant
or exercise of options or other issuance of common stock under any existing employee benefit plans. Our directors, officers and the selling shareholders have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not
to sell, hedge, or otherwise dispose of any shares of common stock, directly or indirectly (other than shares sold in this offering), options to acquire shares of common stock or securities
exchangeable for or convertible into shares of common stock, for a period of 90&nbsp;days after the date of this prospectus without the prior written consent of Needham&nbsp;&amp; Company,&nbsp;Inc.
Needham&nbsp;&amp; Company,&nbsp;Inc. may, in its sole discretion and at any time without notice, release all or any portion of the securities subject to these lock-up agreements. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
connection with this offering, the underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of our common stock. Specifically, the underwriters
may over-allot shares of our common stock in connection with this offering by selling more shares than are set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. This creates a short position in
our common stock for their own account. The short position may be either a covered short position or a naked short position. In a covered short position, the number of shares over-allotted
by the underwriters is not greater than the number of shares that they may purchase under the over-allotment option. To close out a short position, the underwriters may bid for, and
purchase, common stock in the open market. The underwriters may also elect to reduce any short position by exercising all or part of the over-allotment option. In determining the source of
shares to close out the covered short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they
may purchase shares through the over-allotment option. If the underwriters sell more
shares than could be covered by the over-allotment option, a naked short position, the position can only be entirely closed out by buying shares in the open market. A naked short position
is more likely to be created if the underwriter is concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who
purchase shares in the offering. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
underwriters may also impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter or dealer repays selling concessions allowed to it for distributing our common stock in this
offering because the underwriters repurchase that stock in stabilizing or short covering transactions. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Finally,
the underwriters and selling group members, if any, or their affiliates may engage in passive market making transactions in our common stock on the Nasdaq National Market
immediately prior to the commencement of sales in this offering, in accordance with Rule&nbsp;103 of Regulation&nbsp;M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Rule&nbsp;103 generally provides

<P><FONT SIZE=2>The
Board of Directors and Shareholders<BR>
August Technology Corporation: </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of August Technology Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December&nbsp;31, 2002 and 2001, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December&nbsp;31, 2002. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the consolidated 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. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of August Technology Corporation and subsidiaries
as of December&nbsp;31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December&nbsp;31, 2002, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Note&nbsp;1&#151;Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>Nature of Business  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;August Technology Corporation (collectively with its subsidiaries, the "Company") is a worldwide leader in the research, design, development, manufacture,
marketing, sales, distribution and service of automated defect inspection systems used in the manufacture of microelectronic devices including semiconductor devices as well as emerging microelectronic
device markets. The Company's systems automate the inspection process, allowing manufacturers to inspect 100% of their wafers or die, while providing powerful information that manufacturers can use to
increase yield and productivity. The Company has sold these systems worldwide to major microelectronic device manufacturers. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>Principles of Consolidation  </I></B></FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of August Technology Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>Use of Estimates  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and
assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported revenues and expenses
during the reporting periods. Estimates are used for, but not limited to: allocation of revenues in multiple element arrangements, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, useful lives of
depreciable and intangible assets, warranty provisions and income taxes. Future events and their effects cannot be perceived with certainty. As a result, the estimates used in preparation of the
financial statements will change as new events occur, as additional information is obtained and as the Company's operating environment changes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>Cash and Cash Equivalents  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of 90&nbsp;days or less when purchased. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>Investments  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Investments consist of marketable debt instruments. The investments are stated at fair value based on quoted market prices and may be used for liquidity or other
corporate purposes. The Company changed the classification of all of its investments from held-to-maturity to available-for-sale during the second
quarter of 2002. Unrealized gains and losses are reported in Shareholders' Equity under the caption "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)". Short-term investments mature in less

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Demonstration systems are stated at manufacturing cost and
reserves are recorded to state the demonstration systems at their net realizable value. The Company reviews inventory for obsolescence and excess quantities to determine that items deemed obsolete
and/or excess are appropriately reserved. In making the determination, the Company considers future sales of related products and quantity of inventory at the balance sheet date assessed against each
part's past usage rates and future expected usage rates. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>Property and Equipment  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Property and equipment is stated at cost and is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. The estimated useful lives range from two to
seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the lesser of the estimated useful lives or lease terms. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>Capitalized Software Development Costs  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Software development costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility, which is demonstrated by the completion of a working model,
through general release of the products are capitalized. Capitalized costs are amortized over the lesser of the estimated sales of the product or the straight-line method over a period of
three years. The Company reviews the carrying value of software development costs regularly and a loss is recognized when the net realizable value falls below the unamortized cost. Net capitalized
software development costs at December&nbsp;31, 2002 and 2001 were $160 and $223, respectively. Amortization expense for the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 was $88, $37 and

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>Impairment of Long Lived Assets  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment annually or more frequently if the occurrence of events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or the useful lives of these assets are no longer appropriate. Each impairment test is based on a comparison of the carrying amount of an
asset to future net undiscounted cash flows. If an impairment is indicated, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value on a discounted cash flow basis. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to credit risk, consist principally of investments in cash equivalents and short-term and
long-term debt obligations and trade receivables. The Company limits credit risk by placing all investments with high credit quality issuers and limits the amount of investment with any
one issuer. The Company limits credit risk associated with trade receivables by performing ongoing credit evaluations and maintains a reserve for potential collection losses based upon collectibility
of all accounts receivable. The Company believes that there is no additional risk, beyond amounts provided for collection losses, to be inherent in trade receivables. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>Income Taxes  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the difference between the financial statement
carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes are recorded at the tax rates expected to be in effect when amounts are to be included in future taxable
income. The Company regularly assesses the recoverability of deferred tax assets and records a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amounts believed to be realizable,
considering whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon carry back to
prior periods, tax planning strategies, the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities and the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become
deductible. Based upon the Company's level of historical taxable losses in recent years and the uncertainty of future taxable income, the Company concluded during the second quarter of 2002 that a
full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets was appropriate. The valuation allowance at December&nbsp;31, 2002 was $5,360. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>Comprehensive Income (Loss)  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Comprehensive income (loss) represents the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances excluding transactions resulting

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Assets and liabilities of the Company's Taiwan and United Kingdom subsidiaries are translated at year-end exchange rates, and equity accounts are
translated at historical rates. Income and expense accounts are translated at the average exchange rate for the year. The resulting translation adjustment is excluded from operations and accumulated
as a separate component of shareholders' equity. </FONT></P>

from systems meeting pre-shipment authorization testing is recognized when the product has shipped, title and risk of loss have transferred to the

features or capabilities or the building of complex interfaces.

</UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When
the customer has already accepted a previous system, with the same specifications, for the same application, the Company does not require pre-shipment authorization
testing. Revenue is recognized when the product has shipped, title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer and collection of the resulting receivable is probable. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;System
sales are accounted for as multiple-element arrangements. In transactions that include multiple products and/or services, the Company allocates the revenue to each element based
on their relative fair value (or in the absence of fair value, the residual method) and recognizes the associated revenue when all revenue recognition criteria have been met for each element. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Spare parts revenue:</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Spare parts revenue is recognized when the parts have been shipped, title and risk of loss have

2000. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Basic net income (loss) per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or
converted into common stock. When there is a net loss, other potentially dilutive securities are not included in the calculation of net loss per share since their inclusion would be
anti-dilutive. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In July&nbsp;2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No.&nbsp;146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal
Activities." SFAS&nbsp;146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue
No.&nbsp;94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)" and must be
applied beginning January&nbsp;1, 2003. SFAS&nbsp;146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred rather than
when the exit or disposal plan is approved. The Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS&nbsp;146 will have an effect on its consolidated financial statements. The Company will adopt the
provisions of SFAS&nbsp;146 for exit and disposal activities that are initiated after December&nbsp;31, 2002 as required by the standard. </FONT></P>

November&nbsp;2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation ("FIN") No.&nbsp;45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of
Indebtedness of Others". FIN 45 requires companies to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. Guarantees in

The Company does not expect that the adoption of FIN 45 will have an effect on its consolidated financial statements. The Company will adopt the initial recognition and measurement
provisions of FIN 45 for guarantees issued or modified after December&nbsp;31, 2002. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
December&nbsp;2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on EITF 00-21, "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables". This Issue addresses certain
aspects of the accounting by a vendor for arrangements under which it will perform multiple revenue-generating activities. 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). 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. This
Issue addresses when and, if so, how an arrangement involving multiple deliverables should be divided into separate units of accounting. This Issue does not change otherwise applicable revenue
recognition criteria. The guidance in this Issue is effective for revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June&nbsp;15, 2003. The adoption of EITF 00-21 will
not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
December&nbsp;2002, the FASB issued SFAS&nbsp;148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation&#151;Transition and Disclosure, an amendment to FASB Statement 123".
SFAS&nbsp;148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based
method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS&nbsp;148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS&nbsp;123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", to require
prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The
Company has adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS&nbsp;148 effective December&nbsp;31, 2002. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
January&nbsp;2003, the FASB issued FIN 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities". FIN 46 clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No.&nbsp;51,
"Consolidated Financial Statements", to certain entities in which equity investors 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 recognition and measurement provisions of this Interpretation are effective for newly created
variable interest entities formed after January&nbsp;31, 2003, and for existing variable interest entities, on the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after June&nbsp;15, 2003. The
Company will adopt the provisions of FIN 46 for existing variable interest entities on July&nbsp;1, 2003. The disclosure requirements of this Interpretation are effective for financial statements
issued after January&nbsp;31, 2003. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 46 for newly formed variable interest entities effective January&nbsp;31, 2003 which will not have a material effect
on the Company's financial statements. In addition, the Company adopted the disclosure provisions of FIN 46 effective December&nbsp;31, 2002. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>Deferred Compensation  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In connection with the grant of stock options to employees in 1999, the Company recorded deferred compensation of $428, representing the difference between the
estimated deemed value of the Common Stock for accounting purposes and the exercise price of such options at the date of grant. Such amount is presented as a reduction of shareholders' equity and will
be amortized ratably over the vesting period of the options granted, generally five years. The charge to compensation expense related to this deferred compensation for the years ended
December&nbsp;31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 was $63, $93 and $98, respectively. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>Employee Stock Purchase Plan  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During 2000, the Board of Directors and shareholders adopted the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "2000 Purchase Plan"). The 2000 Purchase Plan allows
employees, subject to certain restrictions, to purchase the Company's Common Stock through payroll deductions. Contributions are limited to 10% of an employee's compensation. The purchase price is set
at 85% of the lower of the closing market price of the Company's Common Stock at the commencement or termination of a participation phase. Participation phases have a duration of six months and begin
on January&nbsp;1 and July&nbsp;1 of each year. The Board of Directors has reserved 375 shares of Common Stock for issuance under the 2000 Purchase Plan. As of December&nbsp;31, 2002, 83 shares
of Common Stock had been purchased and 292 shares remain reserved for future issuance under the 2000 Purchase Plan. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>Stock-based Compensation  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Board of Directors and shareholders have adopted the 1997 incentive stock option plan (the "1997 Option Plan"), which originally provided for 1,125 shares
available for issuance primarily to officers, directors and key employees. On April&nbsp;14, 2000 and April&nbsp;19, 2001, the shareholders authorized increases in the number of shares available
for issuance to 2,250 and 2,650 shares, respectively. The 1997 Option Plan permits the granting of incentive stock options meeting the requirements of Section&nbsp;422 of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended, and also nonqualified stock options which do not meet the requirements of Section&nbsp;422. The exercise price of incentive stock options may not be less than the fair market
value of the stock at the date of grant. The exercise price of nonqualified stock options may not be less than 85% of the fair market value of the stock at the date of grant. The stock options vest
over periods that range from immediate to five years and expire seven years from the date of grant. As of December&nbsp;31, 2002, there were 250 shares available for future grant under the 1997
Option Plan. </FONT></P>

Whether or not the Company prevails, the legal expenses involved in any such proceeding may be material. </FONT></P>

Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of

all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the balance sheet at June&nbsp;30, 2003, the results of operations for
the three and six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2003 and 2002, and the cash flows for the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2003 and 2002. The results of operations of the interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for any other period or for the year as a whole. These consolidated financial statements and notes hereto should be read in
conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included herein and in the Company's Annual Report on Form&nbsp;10-K for the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2002 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March&nbsp;4, 2003. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On April&nbsp;15, 2003, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Semiconductor Technologies&nbsp;&amp; Instruments,&nbsp;Inc., a Delaware

with an automated solution for inspecting probe marks, ink dots, and active die regions. The results of operations of STI have been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements since
the date of acquisition. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Semiconductor Technologies&nbsp;&amp; Instruments,&nbsp;Inc. as of December&nbsp;31, 2001 and 2002, and the related statements of
operations, shareholder's deficiency, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December&nbsp;31, 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Semiconductor Technologies&nbsp;&amp;
Instruments,&nbsp;Inc. as of December&nbsp;31, 2001 and 2002, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December&nbsp;31, 2002, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>At
December&nbsp;31, 2002, the Company has two stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note&nbsp;9. The Company accounts for those plans in accordance with the
provisions of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No.&nbsp;25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". Under APB No.&nbsp;25, compensation cost is recognized over the vesting period
based on the difference, if any, on the date of grant between the fair value of the company's stock and the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Stock-based compensation cost recognized
for the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2001 and 2002, and the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2002 (unaudited) and 2003 (unaudited) are none, $12, $7 and none, respectively. The following table
illustrates the effect on net loss and net loss per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No.&nbsp;123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", to stock-based employee compensation. </FONT></P>

shares. When there is a net loss, other potentially dilutive securities are not included in the calculation of net loss per share since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. The basic
net loss per share is the same as the diluted net loss per share because there were no unissued shares under options nor were there any arrangements as of balance sheet date in which the Company is

<P><FONT SIZE=2>In
August&nbsp;2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued SFAS&nbsp;143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations". Initiated in 1994 as a project to improve the
accounting for the costs of nuclear decommissioning, the FASB expanded the scope to include similar closure or removal-type costs in other industries that are incurred at any time during
the life of an asset. When the liability is initially recorded, the entity capitalizes a cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Over time, the liability is
accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. Upon settlement of the liability, an entity either settles the obligation
for its recorded amount or incurs a gain or loss upon settlement. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after June&nbsp;15, 2002, with earlier application encouraged. Adoption of
SFAS&nbsp;143 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>In
June&nbsp;2002, the FASB issued SFAS&nbsp;146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities". SFAS&nbsp;146 provides guidance related to accounting for costs associated
with disposal activities covered by SFAS&nbsp;144 or with exit or restructuring activities previously covered by Emerging Issues Task
Force ("EITF") Issue No.&nbsp;94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity" (including Certain Costs Incurred in a
Restructuring). SFAS&nbsp;146 supercedes EITF Issue No.&nbsp;94-3 in its entirety. SFAS&nbsp;146 requires that costs related to exiting an activity or to a restructuring not be
recognized until the liability is incurred. SFAS&nbsp;146 will be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December&nbsp;31, 2002. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>In
November&nbsp;2002, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue No.&nbsp;00-21, "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables". EITF 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 00-21 will apply to revenue
arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June&nbsp;15, 2003. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of EITF 00-21 will have on its results of
operations and financial condition. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>In
November&nbsp;2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No.&nbsp;45 ("FIN 45"), "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness
of Others". FIN 45 requires that a liability be recorded in the guarantor's balance sheet upon issuance of a guarantee. In addition, FIN 45 requires disclosures about the guarantees that an entity has
issued, including a roll-forward of the entity's product warranty liabilities. The Company does not expect the adoption of FIN 45 will have an impact on its financial position and results
of operations. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>In
January&nbsp;2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No.&nbsp;46 ("FIN 46"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, and an Interpretation of ARB No.&nbsp;51". 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. FIN 46 is effective for all new variable interest
entities created or acquired after January&nbsp;31, 2003. For variable interest entities created or acquired prior to February&nbsp;1, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 must be applied for the first
interim or annual period beginning after June&nbsp;15, 2003. The Company does not expect the adoption of FIN 46 will have an impact on its financial position and results of operations. </FONT></P>

the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2001 and 2002, and the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2002 (unaudited) and 2003 (unaudited) depreciation expense was $124, $128, $33 and $45,

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
December&nbsp;2002, the Company determined that there is a significant change in the extent or manner in which machinery and equipment are being used. Accordingly, the Company
evaluated the ongoing value of the machinery and equipment. Based on this evaluation, the Company determined that machinery and equipment with a carrying amount of $1,103 was no longer recoverable and
was in fact impaired, and wrote them down to their estimated fair value of $202. Fair value was based on expected future cash flows to be generated by these assets, discounted at the
risk-free rate of interest. </FONT></P>

the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2001 and 2002, and the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2002 (unaudited) and 2003 (unaudited), rental expense for operating leases was $679,

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On February&nbsp;26, 2003, ASTI entered into a settlement and purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with August Technology Corporation ("ATC"). Under
the Purchase Agreement, ASTI has agreed to sell to ATC the entire issued and paid-up share capital of the Company for an aggregate purchase consideration of $1,250 of cash and 215,385
shares of ATC common stock. The transaction closed on April&nbsp;15, 2003, after which the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of ATC. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On or about December&nbsp;24 1997, the Company entered into a Development Agreement with ISOA,&nbsp;Inc. pursuant to which the parties agreed to jointly
develop three stand-alone inspection software modules
to be used on the Company's inspection systems platform (the "Development Agreement"). ISOA was required to provide engineering resources to develop the inspection software, while the Company was
required to pay royalty fees totaling $1,000 of which $250 was to be prepaid upon execution of the Development Agreement while the remaining amounts were payable based on the Company's customers'
acceptances on the each of the 3 software modules developed by ISOA. As of date of this report, the Company had paid $330 to ISOA. ISOA was subsequently acquired by Rudolph Technologies, Inc ("RTI")
on 25 September&nbsp;2002. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
the period from late January to March&nbsp;2003, the Company received letters from RTI, in which RTI requested the Company to fulfill its obligation to make royalty payments
pursuant to the Development Agreement. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
response to the correspondence from RTI, the Company disagreed with RTI's claim that the Company owed royalty payments to ISOA. The Company held the position that the Development </FONT></P>

had been terminated on or about 8 May&nbsp;2001 by mutual agreement with ISOA. The Company also explained that it had not made use of any of ISOA's proprietary technology, whether pursuant
to the Development Agreement or not, in its past, present, or future development efforts. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;RTI
has expressed disagreement to the Company's position that the Development Agreement has been terminated. They have also maintained that the Company has used ISOA technology for its
benefit. They also claimed, in a subsequent letter dated March&nbsp;18, 2003, that they believed that the Company might have used ISOA's technology on the platform of an inspection system recently
introduced by August Technology Corporation ("ATC"). To-date, RTI has not provided any particulars or evidence of the Company having used ISOA technology in any of the ways they have
alleged. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Based
on the current state of affairs, the Company does not believe that RTI has a credible claim and will vigorously defend itself if RTI actually institutes formal legal proceedings.
However, litigation is always subject to uncertainty. If RTI is successful in their claims against the Company, the potential liability of the Company will be the remaining $670 unpaid royalty fees
under the Development Agreement plus any damages that RTI can prove. </FONT></P>
