                  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
               FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results 
of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of 
the Company and the related notes thereto.  Prior to the Company's initial 
public offering (the IPO) on June 13, 1996, it was a wholly-owned subsidiary 
of E.I. duPont de Nemours and Company (DuPont).  The Company's historical 
results prior to the IPO are not necessarily indicative of the results that 
would have been achieved if the Company had been independent and may not be 
an accurate indication of future results.  

The pro forma income statement estimates the effects of certain events 
associated with the IPO as if such events had taken place on July 1, 1995.  
The pro forma income statement does not purport to represent what the results 
of operations of the Company would actually have been had certain events in 
fact occurred on July 1, 1995 or to project the results of operations of the 
Company for any future period.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SALES

Sales are comprised primarily of photomask sales to semiconductor 
manufacturers.  Sales increased 39.5% from $46.0 million in the quarter ended 
September 30, 1995 to $64.2 million in the quarter ended September 30, 1996. 
Sales in North America, Europe and Asia increased from $26.5 million, $11.5 
million, and $8.0 million in the quarter ended September 30, 1995 to $35.4 
million, $15.3 million, and $13.5 million in the quarter ended September 30, 
1996.  A continued increase in the demand for advanced photomasks which have 
higher average selling prices was a primary contributor to the increase in 
sales during this period.  This shift in demand reflects what the Company 
believes to be a trend toward higher utilization of complex semiconductor 
devices with finer line-widths. The increase in sales during this period also 
reflects the overall increase in demand for photomasks.

COST OF GOODS SOLD

Cost of goods sold consists of material, labor, depreciation, and overhead.  
Cost of goods sold increased 21.0% from $32.2 million in the quarter ended 
September 30, 1995 to $38.9 million in the quarter ended September 30, 1996, 
resulting primarily from higher costs associated with increased sales.  As a 
percentage of sales, cost of goods sold decreased from 69.9% in the quarter 
ended September 30, 1995 to 60.6% in the quarter ended September 30, 1996.  
The decrease was primarily due to continued improvements in capacity 
utilization including increased use of internally sourced photoblanks and 
pellicles.  

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE

Selling, general and administrative expense includes salaries of sales 
personnel, marketing expense, general and administrative expense, and product 
distribution expense.  Prior to January 1, 1996, general and administrative 
expense principally included allocated costs for services provided by 
centralized DuPont organizations.  The allocated costs are not necessarily 
indicative of the costs that would have been incurred if the Company had been 
independent.  Since January 1, 1996, general and administrative expense has 
included fees incurred by the Company under Administrative Service Agreements 
with DuPont.  Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of 
sales increased from 12.7% in the quarter ended September 30, 1995 to 12.9% 
in the quarter ended September 30, 1996.  Selling, general and administrative 
expense increased 41.6% from $5.9 million in the quarter ended September 30, 
1995 to $8.3 million in the quarter ended September 30, 1996.  The increase 
was due largely to increases in selling expenses corresponding to increased 
sales and increases in incentive compensation expenses corresponding to 
increases in earnings.  



<PAGE>

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSE

Research and development expense consists primarily of employee costs, cost 
of material consumed, depreciation of equipment, engineering related costs, 
and the Company's allocated share of DuPont's central research and 
development.  These allocations were $0.6 million in the quarter ended 
September 30, 1995.  Such allocations terminated December 31, 1995.  
Prospectively, the Company will receive services from DuPont central research 
and development pursuant to Administrative Service Agreements with DuPont.  
Research and development expense, excluding DuPont allocations, increased 
from $1.9 million in the quarter ended September 30, 1995 to $2.4 million in 
the quarter ended September 30, 1996.  However, as a percentage of sales, 
research and development expense declined slightly compared to the prior 
year, reflecting increased sales.  Research and development expense is net of 
funds the Company received from customers, industry groups such as SEMATECH 
Inc. and the Joint European Submicron Strategic Initiative and government 
sources.  The Company anticipates that research and development expense will 
continue to increase in absolute terms in the future reflecting the Company's 
strategy of advancing its technological leadership.  However, there can be no 
assurance that such expenditures will enable the Company to develop new 
technologies or to maintain its technological leadership.

OTHER OPERATING EXPENSE

Other operating expense consists primarily of costs not directly related to 
the manufacture of the Company's products.  Historically, a significant 
portion of this item has been the expense associated with the early 
retirement of equipment resulting from technological obsolescence.  The 
photomasks industry is characterized by rapid technological change and new 
product introductions and enhancements which may, in the future, result in 
additional technological obsolescence.  The timing and amounts of these 
retirements are uncertain and difficult to predict. Other operating expense 
increased from $0.6 million in the quarter ended September 30, 1995 to $0.8 
million in the quarter ended September 30, 1996, primarily related to 
increased pre-operating losses from the Company's joint venture in China.  

INTEREST (INCOME) EXPENSE 

Interest expense was $1.8 million in the quarter ended September 30, 1995 and 
interest income was $0.2 million in the quarter ended September 30, 1996.  
The primary source of interest expense has been the Company's master note 
arrangements with DuPont.  On June 28, 1996, DuPont contributed the $90.5 
million balance outstanding on the master notes to the Company as a capital 
contribution.  Interest income results from short-term investment of the 
Company's cash balances. 

EXCHANGE LOSS

Exchange loss consists of gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement 
of the Company's accounts denominated in non-U.S. currencies into U.S. 
Dollars, which is the Company's functional currency.   Exchange loss was $0.2 
million in the quarter ended September 30, 1995 compared to $0.3 million in 
the quarter ended September 30, 1996 primarily due to fluctuations of the 
U.S. Dollar against the German Mark, French Franc and Korean Won.  Exchange 
loss is net of the impact of hedging activities designed to reduce exchange 
rate exposure.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES 

Prior to the IPO, tax expense was determined and allocated to the Company by 
applying the separate taxpayer approach outlined in FAS 109.  Under this 
approach, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards in the U.S. and 
Europe some of which became fully utilized during the year ended June 30, 
1996. The Company's operations in Korea are subject to a government granted 
tax exemption. The Company will continue to enjoy the full benefits of the 
tax exemption in Korea until 2001 and a partial benefit thereafter until the 
tax exemption terminates in 2003. In actuality, the Company's results were 
included in consolidated tax returns filed by DuPont and the tax benefit of 
prior year losses was realized by DuPont.  Since the IPO, tax expense has 
been determined in accordance with FAS 109 and approximates the U.S. 
statutory rate. 


<PAGE>

MINORITY INTEREST IN LOSS OF  MAJORITY OWNED JOINT VENTURE 

The minority interest impact of the Company's joint venture in China was 
($0.1 million) in the quarter ended September 30, 1995 compared to ($0.2 
million) in the quarter ended September 30, 1996, reflecting increased 
pre-operating losses from, and partner funding of, the joint venture.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's working capital was $34.5 million at June 30, 1996 and $45.2 
million at September 30, 1996.  The increase in working capital for the 
quarter ended September 30, 1996 is due principally to higher cash balances.

Cash provided by operations was $13.3 million in the quarter ended September 
30, 1995 and $18.1 million in the quarter ended September 30, 1996. The 
increase was primarily the result of higher sales and resultant net income. 
The Company believes that cash provided by operations will be its primary 
source of liquidity.  Cash used in investing activities was $2.5 million in 
the quarter ended September 30, 1995 and $5.4 million in the quarter ended 
September 30, 1996.  The Company's most significant use of cash for investing 
activities was capital expenditures. Cash used in financing activities was 
$7.3 million in the quarter ended September 30, 1995 and $0.2 million in the 
quarter ended September 30, 1996.  Prior to the IPO, the Company participated 
in DuPont's centralized cash management system whereby substantially all of 
the net cash generated by the Company was transferred, principally via the 
master notes, to DuPont. 

Cash and cash equivalents were $20.2 million at June 30, 1996 and $32.3 
million at September 30, 1996. The increase in 1996 was primarily due to the 
Company retaining a portion of the cash generated from operations.  The 
Company's ongoing cash requirement will be for capital expenditures, research 
and product development, and working capital.  The Company expects capital 
expenditures for the remainder of the year ended June 30, 1997 will be 
approximately $40 to $50 million.  These capital expenditures will be used 
primarily to expand the Company's manufacturing capacity and advance the 
Company's technical capability. 

The Company and DuPont have entered into a two-year credit agreement 
effective as of January 1, 1996 pursuant to which DuPont has agreed to 
provide a revolving credit/working capital facility to the Company in an 
aggregate amount of $30.0 million.  The credit facility will serve as a 
back-up to cash from operations.  There can be no assurance that alternative 
sources of financing will be available upon expiration of the credit facility 
or that alternative sources of funding will be available if the Company's 
borrowing requirements exceed the facility.  The credit agreement contains, 
among other things, covenants restricting the Company's ability to incur 
additional debt. In addition, there can be no assurance that, even if funding 
is available, the terms thereof will be attractive to the Company.

OTHER MATTERS

The Company has negotiated an agreement with three other companies that 
resulted in the formation of a limited liability company that will pursue 
development of advanced photomask fabrication technologies.  The Company 
believes that, through its participation, it will be able to help meet the 
future technology needs of the semiconductor industry for advanced 
photomasks.  There can be no assurance that the limited liability company 
will yield results that are favorable to the Company. 

Non-U.S. operations are subject to certain risks inherent in conducting 
business abroad, including price and currency exchange controls, fluctuation 
in the relative value of currencies, and restrictive governmental actions.  
Changes in the relative value of currencies occur from time to time and may, 
in certain instances, have a material effect on the Company's results of 
operations.  The financial statements reflect remeasurement of items 
denominated in non-U.S. currencies to U.S. Dollars, the Company's functional 
currency.   Exchange gains or losses are included in income in the period in 
which they occur.  Prior to the IPO, DuPont managed the Company's exposure to 


<PAGE>

fluctuations in currency exchange rates as part of its overall management of 
exchange rate exposure.  No separate hedging of the Company's exchange rate 
exposure was undertaken.  Accordingly, the financial statements prior to the 
IPO do not reflect any hedging activities.  Effective with the completion of 
the IPO, the Company monitors its exchange rate exposure and attempts to 
reduce such exposure by hedging.  In July 1996, the Company entered into a 
Korean Won forward contract designed to reduce such exposure.  There can be 
no assurance that such forward contract will be adequate to eliminate, or 
even mitigate, the impact of the Company's exchange rate exposure.  The risks 
associated with non-U.S. operations have not, to date, had a material adverse 
impact on the Company's liquidity and results of operations.  There can, 
however, be no assurance that such risks will not have a material adverse 
impact on the Company's liquidity and results of operations in the future.  

Inflation impacts the Company through increases in the cost of labor, 
services, and raw materials.  In general, these increases have been mitigated 
by periodic increases in the prices of the Company's products.

DISCUSSION OF PRO FORMA

The pro forma income statement estimates the effects that the IPO, various 
realignment transactions, and the following would have had on the Company's 
results of operations had they occurred as of July 1, 1995:  (i) the 
discontinuance of DuPont's postretirement benefits and replacement of 
DuPont's defined benefit pension plan with the Company's defined contribution 
pension plan; (ii) the elimination of DuPont allocated overhead expenses that 
are not expected to be incurred by the Company following the IPO; (iii) the 
cost of services to be provided by third parties or DuPont, pursuant to 
Administrative Service Agreements with DuPont and its subsidiaries, and 
additional employees assumed to be hired by the Company to replace those 
services previously provided by DuPont; and (iv) recognition of expenses 
relating to the Company's stock performance plan.  The principal effect of 
these adjustments would have been a decrease in costs of goods sold of $0.4 
million for the quarter ended September 30, 1995.  In addition, selling, 
general and administrative expense would have increased by $0.1 million and 
research and development expense would have decreased $0.4 million.  As a 
result of these adjustments, operating profit would have increased by $0.8 
million for the quarter ended September 30, 1995.  Furthermore, elimination 
of the master notes would have decreased interest expense by $1.8 million.  
Consequently, net income (offset by an increase in the provision for income 
taxes) would have increased by $1.2 million for the quarter ended September 
30, 1995.
