Item 7.         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    This Discussion contains forward looking statements, which are subject to
certain risks and uncertainties, including without limitation those described in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, which has been filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Actual results may differ materially

OVERVIEW

    HMT Technology Corporation is an independent supplier of high-performance
thin film disks for high-end, high-capacity hard disk drives, which in turn are
used in high-end PCs, network servers and workstations. HMT was incorporated in
1988 as a subsidiary of Hitachi Metals for the purpose of acquiring certain
assets and certain liabilities of the thin film division of Xidex Corporation,
which had been producing thin film disks since 1983. Since completing the
acquisition, the Company has continued to supply thin film disks to
manufacturers of hard disk drives. On November 30, 1995, the Company effected
the Leveraged Recapitalization pursuant to which the Company repurchased from
Hitachi Metals all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, and
certain investment funds, members of management and Hitachi Metals purchased
Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Subordinated Notes. During March and
April 1996, the Company sold 9,660,000 shares of Common Stock at $10.00 per
share (including exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option) through
its initial public offering. The net proceeds (after underwriter's discounts and
commissions and other costs associated with the initial public offering) totaled
$88.7 million.

    The Company has recently begun construction on a new production facility at
its Fremont, California site. In addition, the Company recently acquired an
aluminum substrate manufacturing facility and related equipment located in
Eugene, Oregon, and has begun expansion of that facility.

    The Company derives substantially all of its sales from the sale of thin
film disks to a small number of customers. Loss of or a reduction in orders from
one or more of the Company's customers could result in a substantial reduction
in net sales. Because many of the Company's expense levels are based, in part,
on its expectations as to future revenues, decreases in net sales may result in
a disproportionately greater negative impact on operating results. Due to the
rapid technological change and frequent development of new disk drive products,
it is common in the industry for the relative mix of customers and products to
change rapidly, even from quarter to quarter. At any one time the Company
typically supplies disks in volume for fewer than ten disk drive products.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995

    Net Sales. Net sales were $76.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1997
compared with $28.6 million in first quarter of fiscal 1996, representing an
increase of 167.3%. The increase in net sales in the first quarter of fiscal
1997 was primarily attributable to an increase in manufacturing capacity and
improved utilization of existing capacity, improved manufacturing processes, and
increased yields, resulting in higher production volume and unit shipments.
Substantially all of the Company's net sales consist of products delivered to
customers in Asia, primarily foreign subsidiaries of U.S. companies.

    Gross Profit (Loss). Gross margin was 42.4% in first quarter of fiscal 1997,
compared with 23.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 1996. The increase in gross
margin was primarily a result of decreased unit production costs, improved
utilization of manufacturing capacity, improved manufacturing processes,
increased yields and the absorption of fixed costs over higher unit production
volume effected by the refocusing of the strategy and operations of the Company.


                                       7

    Operating Expenses. The Company's operating expenses were $4.3 million in
the first quarter of fiscal 1997 as compared to $2.2 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 1996. Research and development expenses were $1.3 million, or
1.6% of net sales, and $700,000, or 2.8% of net sales, respectively, over the
same periods. Research and development expenses increased in absolute dollars
due to an increase in headcount related to the Company's new product
introductions, but declined as percentage of net sales, primarily a result of
the substantial increase in net sales over the same period. Selling, general and
administrative expenses were $3.0 million, or 4.0% of net sales, in the first
quarter of fiscal 1997 compared with $1.4 million, or 4.9% of net sales, in the
first quarter of fiscal 1996. The increase in selling, general and
administrative expenses in absolute dollars reflected increased headcount
necessary to support higher production volume and unit shipments, while the
decline as a percentage of net sales primarily reflects the increase in net
sales over the same period.

    The Company anticipates that operating expenses will continue to increase in
absolute dollars as headcount is increased to support new product introductions,
anticipated higher levels of production volume and unit shipments, as well as
the demands of administering a stand-alone public entity, although as a
percentage of net sales, operating expenses may fluctuate from period to period.

    Provision for Income Taxes. The Company recorded an income tax provision of
$10.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1997, reflecting an effective tax
rate of approximately 38%. The income tax provision of $123,000 recorded during
the first quarter of fiscal 1996 was based upon state income taxes of Hitachi
Metals (the former parent company of HMT) allocated to the Company. Due to net
operating loss carryforwards, the Company required no federal income tax
provision during this period.

    The Company's operating results historically have been, and may continue to
be, subject to significant quarterly and annual fluctuations. As a result, the
Company's operating results in any quarter may not be indicative of its future
performance. Factors affecting operating results include: market acceptance of
new products; timing of significant orders; changes in pricing by the Company or
its competitors; timing of product announcements by the Company, its customers
or its competitors; order cancellations, modifications and quantity adjustments
and shipment reschedulings; changes in product mix; manufacturing yields; the
level of utilization of the Company's production capacity; increases in
production and engineering costs associated with initial manufacture of new
products; and changes in the cost of or limitations on the availability of
materials. The impact of these and other factors on the Company's revenues and
operating results in any future period cannot be forecasted with certainty. The
Company's expense levels are based, in part, on its expectations as to future
revenues. Because the Company's sales are generally made pursuant to purchase
orders that are subject to cancellation, modification, quantity reduction or
rescheduling on short notice and without significant penalties, the Company's
backlog as of any particular date may not be indicative of sales for any future
period, and such changes could cause the Company's net sales to fall below
expected levels. If revenue levels are below expectations, operating results are
likely to be materially adversely affected. Net income, if any, and gross
margins may be disproportionately affected by a reduction in net sales because a
proportionately smaller amount of the Company's expenses varies with its
revenues.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    At June 30, 1996 the Company had $43.2 million in cash and cash equivalents
as compared to $35.8 million at March 31, 1996. During the first quarter of
fiscal 1997, the Company financed its cash requirements primarily through cash
from operating and financing activities. The Company's operations provided net
cash of $17.8 million and $2.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 and
1996, respectively. Cash generated during the first quarter of fiscal 1997
reflected net income plus depreciation and amortization, as well as an increase
in liabilities, partially offset by increases in receivables and inventories.
Increased sales and improved margins contributed to the increase in positive
cash flow provided by operations during the most recent quarter.

    The Company invested $21.7 million and $3.9 million in property, plant and
equipment during the first quarter of fiscal 1997 and 1996, respectively. During
May 1996, the Company purchased an


                                       8
<PAGE>   9
aluminum substrate manufacturing facility and other related equipment in Eugene,
Oregon for approximately $4.8 million. The Company expects to spend in excess of
$150.0 million on capital expenditures directed toward expansion of production
capacity over the next twelve months, although there can be no assurance
regarding the timing and amounts of such expenditures.

    Cash provided by financing activities for the first quarter of fiscal 1997
reflected the $12.2 million in cash generated from options exercised and the
sale of approximately 1.3 million shares of common stock pursuant to the
underwriters' over-allotment option in connection with the Company's initial
public offering.

    As of June 30, 1996, the Company's principal sources of liquidity consisted
of cash and cash equivalents, and a $30.0 million revolving credit facility
under which there were no borrowings. At June 30, 1996, the Company had
indebtedness of $47.0 million in principal amount of Subordinated Notes payable
to existing stockholders that bear interest at 12.0% (increasing by 1% per year
commencing January 1, 1999) and begin to require annual payments of principal on
December 31, 2003. The Company also had outstanding $59.0 million of Series A
Preferred Stock. The revolving credit facility is secured by all of the
Company's assets.

    The Company believes existing cash balances, cash generated from operations,
and funds available under its credit facilities, will provide adequate cash to
fund its operations for at least the next twelve months. While operating
activities are expected to provide cash in certain periods, continued expansion
of the Company's manufacturing capacity will require the Company to obtain
additional sources of financing. Additional sources of long-term liquidity could
include cash generated from operations and debt and equity financings. The
Company continues to have significant future obligations and expects that it
will require additional capital to support planned expansion of the Company's
manufacturing capacity and growth, if any. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to obtain alternative sources of financing on favorable
terms, if at all, at such time or times as the Company may require such capital.
