SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
THE COMPANY
YieldUP International Corporation (the "Company" or "YieldUP") develops,
manufactures, and markets cleaning, rinsing, and drying equipment used during
several steps in the manufacturing process for semiconductors and other defect
sensitive substrates. The accompanying condensed financial statements are
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments which are necessary for the fair
presentation of the condensed financial statements have been included and all
such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The operating results for
the quarter and six month period ended June 30, 1997, are not necessarily
representative of the results of future quarterly or annual periods.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared
assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. On April 30, 1997, the
Company completed the redemption of its Class A Warrants with greater than 99%
of the warrants being exercised prior to the redemption date. The net proceeds
to the Company from the exercise of the Class A warrants was approximately
$14,484,240. The Company believes that the net proceeds from the warrant
exercise, together with existing cash balances, will be sufficient to meet the
Company's cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.
For information as to the significant accounting policies followed by
the Company and other financial and operating information, see the Company's
Form 10-KSB/A as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year
ended December 31, 1996.
CONDENSED BALANCE SHEET COMPONENTS
RESTRICTED CASH
As of June 30, 1997, the Company had restricted cash in the form of
certificates of deposit, of $315,000 and $87,841 as collateral for long-term
debt and substantially all of the capital lease obligations, respectively.
SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS
The Company's short-term investments comprise a certificate of deposit
which is classified as "available-for-sale".

LONG-TERM DEBT
Long-term debt comprises a bank term loan which is 50% collateralized by
a certificate of deposit. The loan is payable in monthly installments of
$30,000, and bears interest at the bank's prime rate plus 2.25%.
PATENT MATTERS
CFM Technologies, Inc. and CFMT, Inc. (collectively "CFM") filed a
complaint against the Company in United States District Court for the District
of Delaware in September 1995. The complaint alleges that the drying process
incorporated in certain of the Company's products infringes a patent held by
CFM. The Company believes that its drying process does not infringe the CFM
patent. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will not, as a
result of this litigation, suffer a material adverse effect on its business or
financial condition. The trial for this matter is scheduled to begin in February
1998. A decision adverse to the Company in such litigation could result in
substantial damages payable by the Company and could support the issuance of an
injunction prohibiting further sales by the Company of some or all of its
products. A loss, if any, resulting from an unfavorable adjudication, cannot
presently be estimated. Accordingly, no provision for any liability that may
result upon adjudication has been made in the accompanying condensed financial
statements.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Financial Accounting Standards Board recently issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." SFAS No.
128 requires the presentation of basic earnings per share ("EPS") and, for
companies with complex capital structures, diluted EPS. SFAS No. 128 is
effective for annual and interim periods ending after December 31, 1997. Earlier
adoption is not permitted. The Company expects that basic EPS, for profitable
periods, will be higher than primary earnings per share as presented in the
accompanying condensed financial statements and that diluted EPS will not differ
materially from primary earnings per share as presented in the accompanying
condensed financial statements. Computations for loss periods should not change
significantly.
REDEMPTION OF CLASS A WARRANTS
On April 30, 1997 the Company completed the redemption of its Class A
Warrants. Greater than 99% of the 2,215,000 Class A Warrants outstanding were
exercised prior to the redemption date. The net proceeds to the Company from the
warrant exercise were approximately $14,484,240.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The discussions in this Report contain forward-looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ
materially from those discussed herein. Factors that could cause or contribute
to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in
"Business Risks" and elsewhere in this Report as well as in the Company's other
periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996
REVENUES
Revenues increased to $1,206,886 in the second quarter of 1997 from
$429,800 for the same period in 1996. The increase in revenues in 1997 was due
to an increase in the level of shipments for the Company's cleaning, rinsing,
and drying systems.
Backlog at June 30, 1997 totaled approximately $1,243,784 compared to
approximately $70,000 at June 30,1996 and approximately $787,000 at March 31,
1997.
GROSS MARGIN
The Company's gross margin improved substantially to $284,412 or 24%
during the second quarter of 1997 compared to negative gross margin in the same
period a year ago. The Company's cost of revenue still remained high during the
second quarter of 1997 due to manufacturing expenses being allocated over
relatively few units. The Company expects that its gross margin will improve in
the future if unit shipments and revenue increase and if the Company is able to
transition to increased shipments of standardized products and lower unit
material costs.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES
Research and development expenses increased to $455,614 in the second
quarter of 1997 from $292,608 for the same period in 1996. The increase in
research and development expenses was due mainly to an increase in engineering
personnel and an increase in expenses for prototype development of the Company's
new products compared to the same period in the prior year. In addition, in the
second quarter of 1997, the Company continued to invest in enhancement of its
existing product line. The Company expects to continue to invest in new product
research and development and enhancement of existing products, although these
expenses may decline as a percentage of revenues to the extent revenues
increase.
The Company was issued a new patent for its technology in the second
quarter of 1997 and was informed that it has been allowed three additional
patents, bringing the total number of patents issued or allowed to six patents.

<PAGE> 10
SELLING, GENERAL, AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased to $672,480 in
the second quarter of 1997 from $414,549 for the same period in 1996. The
increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses reflected the
Company's increased expenses for representative sales commissions due to higher
shipment levels and increased legal expense for litigation and patent activity
compared to the second quarter of 1996. Selling, administrative and general
expenses declined as a percentage of revenues to 56% in the second quarter of
1997 from 96% for the same period in 1996 due to increased revenues. The Company
expects that selling, general, and administrative expenses may continue to
decline as a percentage of revenues to the extent revenues increase.
NET INTEREST EXPENSE (INCOME)
Net interest income was $87,479 for second quarter of 1997 compared to
net interest income of $31,083 for the same period in 1996. The increase in net
interest income was the result of increased interest income as a result of
additional cash received during the quarter upon exercise of the Company's Class
A warrants.
NET LOSS
Net loss for the second quarter of 1997 decreased to $756,203 from
$842,875 for the same period in 1996. The decrease in net loss was due primarily
to improvements in gross margins and increased revenues.
The Company has never operated at a profit and expects that it will
incur operating losses through at least the first three quarters of 1997. Such
losses have been and will continue to be principally the result of the various
costs associated with the Company's product development and manufacturing
activities as the Company seeks to gain acceptance of its products in the
marketplace. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in
penetrating the market for wet processing semiconductor manufacturing equipment
or other markets or in generating future revenues and profits from the sales of
its products.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996
REVENUES
Revenues increased to $2,119,886 in the first six months of 1997 from
$940,050 for the same period in 1996. The increase in revenues in 1997 was due
to an increase in the level of shipments for the Company's cleaning, rinsing,
and drying systems.
Backlog at June 30, 1997 totaled approximately $1,243,784 compared to
approximately $70,000 at June 30, 1996 and approximately $493,000 at December
31, 1996. The continuing slowdown in the semiconductor equipment industry may
negatively impact the Company's ability to book new orders in the future until
there is a change in the conditions that are reducing capital equipment spending
by semiconductor manufacturers.
GROSS MARGIN
The Company's gross margin improved to $235,256 or 11% during the first
six months of 1997 compared to negative gross margin in the same period a year
ago. The Company's cost of revenue remained high during the first and second
quarters of 1997 due to manufacturing expenses being allocated over relatively
few units. The Company expects that its gross margin will improve in the future
if unit shipments and revenue increase and if the Company is able to transition
to increased shipments of standardized products and lower unit material costs.

<PAGE> 11
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES
Research and development expenses increased to $883,026 in the first six
months of 1997 from $595,096 for the same period in 1996. The increase in
research and development expenses was due mainly to an increase in engineering
personnel and an increase in expenses for prototype development of the Company's
new products compared to the same period in the prior year. In addition, in the
first quarter of 1997, the Company continued to invest in enhancement of its
existing product line. The Company expects to continue to invest in new product
research and development and enhancement of existing products, although these
expenses may decline as a percentage of revenues to the extent revenues
increase.
SELLING, GENERAL, AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased to $1,173,222 in
the first six months of 1997 from $862,747 for the same period in 1996. The
increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses reflected the
Company's increased expenses for representative sales commissions due to higher
shipment levels and increased legal expense for litigation and patent activity
compared to the first six months of 1996. Selling, administrative and general
expenses declined as a percentage of revenues to 55% in the first six months of
1997 from 92% for the same period in 1996 due to increased revenues. The Company
expects that selling, general, and administrative expenses may continue to
decline as a percentage of revenues due to increased revenues to the extent
revenues increase.
NET INTEREST EXPENSE (INCOME)
Net interest income was $81,471 for first six months of 1997 compared to
net interest income of $80,870 for the same period in 1996. The increase in net
interest income was the result of increased interest income as a result of
additional cash received during the quarter upon exercise of the Company's Class
A warrants.
NET LOSS
Net loss for the first six months of 1997 increased to $1,739,521 from
$1,528,492 for the same period in 1996. The increase in net loss was due
primarily to negative gross margins in the first quarter of 1997 and an increase
of $287,930 in research and development expenses.
The Company has never operated at a profit and expects that it will
incur operating losses through at least the first three quarters of 1997. Such
losses have been and will continue to be principally the result of the various
costs associated with the Company's product development and manufacturing
activities as the Company seeks to gain acceptance of its products in the
marketplace. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in
penetrating the market for wet processing semiconductor manufacturing equipment
or other markets or in generating future revenues and profits from the sales of
its products.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash, cash equivalents, and short term investment balances at June 30,
1997 totaled $10,009,939 compared to $629,172 at December 31, 1996. The increase
was due primarily to the exercise of approximately 2,211,400 Class A warrants at
$7.00 per warrant during March and April of 1997.
At June 30, 1997 the Company had accounts receivable of $1,524,489
compared to $699,459 at December 31, 1996. Inventories at June 30, 1997 were
$2,053,054 compared to $677,383 at December 31, 1996. The increase in inventory
was the primary result of increasing the Company's manufacturing capacity and an
increase in the number of evaluation units. Net property, plant, and equipment
was $1,064,853 at June
11
<PAGE> 12
30, 1997 compared to $894,499 at December 31, 1996. The increase in net property
and equipment was primarily the result of expenditures for engineering and
manufacturing computer and other equipment and for various leasehold
improvements.
The accounts payable balance at June 30, 1997 was $691,515 compared to
$643,089 at December 31, 1996. The increase in accounts payable was due
primarily to increased purchases for a higher production volume.
On April 30, 1997, the Company completed the redemption of its Class A
Warrants. Greater than 99% of the outstanding Class A Warrants were exercised
prior to the redemption date, providing net proceeds to the Company of
approximately $14,484,240. The Company believes that the existing cash balances
will be sufficient to meet the Company's cash requirements for at least the next
twelve months.

BUSINESS RISKS
GENERAL
The Company's operations are subject to numerous risks associated with
establishing any new business, including unforeseeable expenses, delays and
complications, as well as specific risks of the semiconductor equipment
industry. The Company has incurred significant losses from its operations, and
there can be no assurance that the Company will achieve profitable operations.
The Company's smaller resources and yet to be fully proven products make it
extremely vulnerable to competition from larger companies. Because the Company's
technology has not been widely deployed, it presents potential customers with
uncertainty not associated with existing equipment marketed by competitors. In
addition, many semiconductor manufacturers are reluctant to choose small
companies as key suppliers due to concerns about long-term viability and product
support. Because the Company's products also compete with the offerings from a
large number of small companies making less expensive equipment, the Company may
not be able to compete effectively against those products without lowering its
prices. Given the anticipated increasing focus on yield management in the
semiconductor manufacturing industry, equipment manufacturers are likely to put
an increased emphasis on contaminant reduction and competitive technologies or
new manufacturing technologies may be developed which could make the Company's
products obsolete. Since the Company expects to derive substantially all of its
future revenues from sales of cleaning, rinsing, and drying systems, the
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations would be
materially adversely affected by declining demand for the Company's products or
decreasing prices and margins for those products.
The Company anticipates that it will devote significant management time
and financial resources to obtaining protection of, and defending against
infringement claims with respect to, its intellectual property rights. The
Company is involved in patent litigation and is attempting to obtain additional
patent protection on various aspects of its proprietary technology. These rights
under any patents issued may not provide competitive advantages to the Company
or prevent others from developing competitive products or technologies similar
to or more advanced than the Company.
The Company expects to derive a substantial portion of its revenues from
the sale of a relatively small number of systems. As a result, a small reduction
in the number of systems shipped in a quarter could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's revenues and results of operations for the quarter. If
the Company's anticipated level of revenues is not achieved for a particular
period, the Company's operating results would be adversely affected by its
inability to reduce costs. Sales of the Company's products have been, and are
expected to continue to be, characterized by a relatively long sales cycle and
may also depend upon the decision of a prospective customer to upgrade the
equipment in its existing semiconductor fabrication facilities or to open new
facilities, which typically involves a significant capital commitment.
Finally, the semiconductor equipment industry is highly cyclical and has
historically experienced periodic and often prolonged downturns. There can be no
assurance that industry downturns can be avoided and will not materially
adversely affect the Company's backlog level, business, financial condition, and
results of operations. Any downturn in the market demand for integrated circuits
would likely reduce to an even greater extent the willingness of the
manufacturers of semiconductor devices to make substantial capital expenditures
and would adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition, and
results of operations.

INTENSE COMPETITION; UNCERTAIN MARKET ACCEPTANCE
There is intense competition in the markets for the Company's products.
The Company's smaller resources and yet to be fully proven products makes it
extremely vulnerable to competition from larger companies, many of which have
significantly greater financial, employee, product development and marketing
resources. Leading competitors have a larger installed base of products which
can provide them a significant advantage over the Company because the Company's
technology has not been widely deployed and therefore presents potential
customers with uncertainty not associated with existing equipment. In addition,
many semiconductor manufacturers are reluctant to choose small companies as key
suppliers due to concerns about long term viability and product support. There
can be no assurance that the Company will overcome these disadvantages.
Competition for the Company's products currently comes from makers of
traditional and new cleaning, rinsing, and drying equipment. There can be no
assurance that these competitors will not develop new products or improve their
existing products which, when combined with their existing market presence,
would make the Company's products obsolete or unmarketable. Any such development
would have a material adverse effect on the Company. There also can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to penetrate the wet processing
equipment market and convince semiconductor or other manufacturers to install
the Company's systems either directly or through retrofitting in place of
existing equipment. Additional competition for the Company's products also
currently comes from a large number of small companies making cleaning, rinsing,
and drying equipment which is less expensive than the Company's products.
Because the Company's products sell for significantly higher prices than such
products, the Company may not be able to compete effectively against them
without lowering its prices.
The Company also expects that competition may arise from new competitors
and from new technological approaches adopted by new and existing competitors.
Because of the increasing focus on yield management in the semiconductor
manufacturing industry, equipment manufacturers are likely to put an increased
emphasis on contaminant reduction. Thus, competitive technologies or new
manufacturing techniques may be developed which could make the Company's
products obsolete, thereby materially adversely affecting the Company. If the
Company is unable to respond to the challenges of competition, including changes
in cleaning, rinsing, and drying or semiconductor or other manufacturing
processes, there can be no assurance that the Company would be able to achieve
or maintain profitability at a level required to support its survival or growth.
RELIANCE ON SINGLE PRODUCT FAMILY
The Company anticipates that the substantial majority of its future
revenues will come from sales of its cleaning, rinsing, and drying systems.
Should the demand for, or pricing of, the Company's products decline due to
increased competitive pressure, the introduction of superior systems or
processes, changes in the semiconductor, magnetic or optical disk, flat panel
display or photo-mask industries or other factors, the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations would be materially adversely
affected. The ability of the Company to diversify its operations through the
introduction and sale of new products and broader acceptance of its cleaning,
rinsing, and drying systems is dependent on the success of the Company's
continuing research, product development and engineering activities, as well as
its marketing efforts. No assurance can be given that the Company will be able
to develop, acquire, introduce or market new products in a timely or
cost-effective manner or that any new products or improvements will achieve
market acceptance or result in acceptable margins. Accordingly, the Company will
be dependent on overall market acceptance of its products.
