Note 4 - Commitments and Contingencies

     We are undertaking a significant global expansion to support the future
growth of our business. We also began construction on a new photomask production
facility in Gresham, Oregon that we subsequently and indefinitely delayed. If
additional capacity were to be needed, we could complete the Gresham facility
within approximately six months. In addition, we are constructing new photomask
production facilities in Singapore and Corbeil-Essonnes, France.

     We have entered into an agreement with Etec Systems to upgrade our existing
MEBES(R) electron-beam pattern generation tools. The hardware and software
upgrades will enhance the capability of the tools while simultaneously
increasing the speed at which they operate. As part of the agreement, Etec
Systems purchased the use of technology developed by us. The tools to be
upgraded currently reside throughout our integrated network of production
facilities.

     We have various purchase commitments incidental to the normal course of
business including non-refundable deposits to purchase equipment. In the
aggregate, such commitments are not at prices in excess of current market. We
are subject to litigation in the normal course of business. We believe the
effect, if any, of an unfavorable settlement of such litigation would not have a
material adverse

                                       7

effect on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows or
liquidity.

Note 5 - Acquisition

     In December 1999, we acquired the photomask production equipment from Altis
Semiconductor, a joint venture between IBM and Infineon Technologies.  The
acquisition included the purchase of equipment, the purchase of inventory, the
execution of a supply agreement and the hiring of employees in the photomask
manufacturing organization.  Consideration for the acquisition is approximately
$40 million.  Approximately $23 million has been assigned to intangible assets.

Item 2.

                    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 our financial
statements and related notes thereto.  References to years are to fiscal years
ended June 30.  Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
results for the full year.

Overview

     Based on worldwide sales, we believe we are one of the largest photomask
manufacturers in the world. We sell our products to over 200 customers in 20
different countries. Essentially all of our sales are to customers in the
semiconductor manufacturing industry. We manufacture a broad range of photomasks
based on customer-supplied design data. We also manufacture photoblanks and
pellicles, the principal components of photomasks, primarily for internal
consumption. We operate globally with established manufacturing facilities in
North America, Europe and Asia.

     The demand for photomasks is driven primarily by semiconductor design
activity. A number of recent trends have fueled growth in photomasks, including:

 .    The proliferation of semiconductor applications;

 .    Increasing customization of semiconductor designs;

 .    Growing complexity of semiconductor devices; and

 .    Decreasing feature size of semiconductor designs.

These trends have increased the importance of photomask technology in the
semiconductor manufacturing process.

     Photomask manufacturing operations are capital intensive. Accordingly, at a
given threshold of manufacturing capacity, a high proportion of our operating
costs are fixed and remain relatively constant as sales volume increases or
decreases. To the extent that we have under-utilized production capacity,
operating profit increases or decreases significantly as sales volume increases
or decreases. In the early 1990's, we had excess capacity. As sales increased
through 1997, costs associated with manufacturing remained relatively unchanged
and our operating margin over the period increased. In 1998 and 1999, our
operating costs on an absolute basis increased more than our sales. As a result,
our operating margin declined. We anticipate that our operating costs will
continue to increase as we add capacity to position ourselves for future growth.
If our sales growth does not keep pace with increases in operating costs, our
operating margin will decline further.

Results of Operations

     Sales.  Sales are comprised primarily of photomask sales to semiconductor
manufacturers.  Sales increased 19.2% from $61.9 million in the quarter ended
December 31, 1998 to $73.8 million in the quarter ended December 31, 1999.
Sales in North America and Asia increased from $36.2 million and $12.4 million
in the quarter ended December 31, 1998 to $45.7 million and $15.2 million in the
quarter ended December 31, 1999.  Sales in Europe were substantially unchanged.
Sales increased 20.4% from $122.9 million in the six months ended December 31,
1998 to $147.9 million in the six months ended December 31, 1999. Sales in North
America and Asia increased from $71.1 million and $25.7 million in the six
                 -
months ended December 31, 1998 to $89.1 million and $32.2 million in the six
months ended December 31, 1999. Increased average selling price and increased
unit volume both contributed to the increase in sales during the quarter ended
and six months ended December 31, 1999.  Unit volume increases represented
slightly more than one-half of the increase in sales in the quarter ended and
six months ended December 31, 1999.  Average selling price increases represented
the rest of the increase in sales in the quarter ended and six months ended
December 31, 1999.  We continue to experience an increase in demand for advanced
photomasks, those with design technology of 0.25 micron and below, which for the
quarter ended December 31, 1999 represented approximately 31% of our sales. This
shift in demand reflects what we believe to be a continued trend toward higher
utilization of complex semiconductor devices with finer line widths.

     Cost of Goods Sold.  Cost of goods sold consists of material, labor,
depreciation and overhead.  Cost of goods sold increased from $44.5 million in
the quarter ended December 31, 1998 to $53.6 million in the quarter ended
December 31, 1999 and also increased from $88.5 million in the six months ended
December 31, 1998 to $104.5 million in the six months ended December 31, 1999.
The increase resulted primarily from higher costs associated with increased
manufacturing capacity. As we add capacity to position ourselves for future
growth, we will incur additional costs related to new facilities and costs
related to capacity expansions at existing facilities.  As a

                                       9
<PAGE>

percentage of sales, cost of goods sold increased from 72.0% in the quarter
ended December 31, 1998 to 72.7% in the quarter ended December 31, 1999 and
decreased from 72.0% in the six months ended December 31, 1998 to 70.7% in the
six months ended December 31, 1999. The percentage of sales decrease was
primarily due to improved capacity utilization.

     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.  Selling,
general and administrative expense as a percentage of sales decreased from 12.8%
in the quarter ended December 31, 1998 to 11.9% in the quarter ended December
31, 1999 and decreased from 12.9% in the six months ended December 31, 1998 to
12.0% in the six months ended December 31, 1999.  The decreases are primarily
the result of higher sales.  Selling, general and administrative expense
increased 11.3% from $7.9 million in the quarter ended December 31, 1998 to $8.8
million in the quarter ended December 31, 1999 and increased 11.2% from $15.9
million in the six months ended December 31, 1998 to $17.7 million in the six
months ended December 31, 1999.  The increases are primarily the result of
increased costs related to new facilities and initiatives partially offset by
regularized incentive compensation expense.  We anticipate that selling, general
and administrative expense will increase in the future.

     Research and Development Expense.  Research and development expense
consists primarily of employee costs, cost of material consumed, depreciation,
engineering related costs and our share of costs of the DPI Reticle Technology
Center. Research and development expense increased from $3.9 million in the
quarter ended December 31, 1998 to $5.4 million in the quarter ended December
31, 1999 and increased from $7.7 million in the six months ended December 31,
1998 to $10.4 million in the six months ended December 31,1999.  The increases
were due primarily to increased focus on research and development at our
facility in Ichon and our joint venture participation with Advanced Micro
Devices, Micron Technology and Motorola in the DPI Reticle Technology Center,
which was formed to develop advanced photomask technology and fabricate leading-
edge photomasks. We believe that, through our participation in the DPI Reticle
Technology Center, we will be able to help meet the future technology needs of
the semiconductor industry for advanced photomasks.  We anticipate that research
and development expense will continue to increase in absolute dollars in the
future reflecting our strategy of advancing our technological leadership.
However, there can be no assurance that such expenditures will enable us to
develop new technologies or to maintain our technological leadership.

     Other (Income) Expense.  Other (income) expense includes interest expense,
interest income and exchange gains and losses.  Other (income) expense was $1.0
million in the quarter ended December 31, 1998 and ($0.2 million) in the quarter
ended December 31, 1999 and was $1.5 million in the six months ended December
31, 1998 and zero in the six months ended December 31, 1999.  The decrease
relates primarily to lower interest expense on our credit agreement discussed
below.

     Provision for Income Taxes.  Our tax expense has been determined in
accordance with FAS 109 and is based on the statutory rates in effect in the
countries in which we operate. Our effective tax rate was 31% for the quarter
ended December 31, 1998 and for the six months ended December 31, 1998.  Our
effective tax rate was 28% for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 and for the
six months ended December 31, 1999.  Certain of our operations in Asia are
subject to government granted tax exemptions.

     Minority Interest in Joint Ventures.  The minority interest impact of our
joint ventures was $0.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 and for
the six months ended December 31, 1999.  Minority interest reflects the
partners' share of the joint venture operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Our working capital was $71.1 million at June 30, 1999 and $38.0 million at
December 31, 1999. The decrease in working capital was due principally to lower
cash balances resulting from capital expenditures and the IBM acquisition.  Cash
and cash equivalents were $61.3 million at June 30, 1999 and $32.7 million at
December 31, 1999.  Cash provided by operating activities increased from $19.1
million in the six months ended December 31, 1998 to $28.8 million in the six
months ended December 31, 1999.

     Cash used in investing activities (capital expenditures and payment for
acquisition) was $53.0 million in the six months ended December 31, 1998 and
$72.5 million in the six months ended December 31, 1999.  Management expects
capital expenditures for the remainder of 2000 will be approximately $80 to $100
million.  Capital expenditures have been and will be used primarily to expand
our manufacturing capacity and advance our technical capability.  We may in the
future pursue additional acquisitions of businesses, products and technologies,
or enter into other joint venture arrangements that could complement or expand
our business.  Any material acquisition or joint venture could result in a
decrease to our working capital depending on the amount, timing and nature of
the consideration to be paid.

     Cash provided by financing activities was $55.1 million in the six months
ended December 31, 1998 and $15.8 million in the six months ended December 31,
1999.  Pursuant to our credit agreement with DuPont, DuPont originally agreed to
provide a credit facility in an aggregate amount of $100.0 million. This credit
facility expires in 2001 and any loans thereunder will bear interest at LIBOR
plus 0.25% per annum. At our option, advances under this credit facility are
convertible into term loans with maturities up to seven years. We had borrowed a
maximum of approximately $69 million under this credit facility and, at December
31, 1999, no borrowings were

                                       10
<PAGE>

outstanding under this credit facility. In March 1999, we amended our credit
agreement with DuPont to add a second credit facility with an additional
borrowing capacity of $100.0 million. The second credit facility has a term of
three years and outstanding amounts bear interest at 0.25% per annum for the
first two years and LIBOR plus 0.25% per annum for the third year. We have
borrowed a maximum of $100.0 million under this credit facility and, at December
31, 1999, borrowings of $100.0 million were outstanding under this credit
facility. The amended credit agreement contains, among other things, covenants
restricting our ability to incur additional debt.

     Our ongoing cash requirements will be for capital expenditures,
acquisitions, research and development and working capital.  We also began
construction on a new photomask production facility in Gresham, Oregon that we
subsequently and indefinitely delayed. If additional capacity were to be needed,
we could complete the Gresham facility within approximately six months. In
addition, we are constructing new photomask production facilities in Singapore
and Corbeil-Essonnes, France. Further, we have entered into an agreement with
Etec Systems to upgrade our existing MEBES(R) electron-beam pattern generation
tools. These plans reflect a significant capital investment over the next five
years. Management believes that cash provided by operations and the credit
agreement with DuPont will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements for at
least the next 12 months. Based on our current operating plans, we will require
external financing from time to time to fund our capital expenditures. There can
be no assurance that we will be able to obtain the additional financing required
to fund these capital investments on reasonable terms, or at all.

     Furthermore, there can be no assurance that alternative sources of
financing will be available upon expiration of the DuPont credit facilities or
that alternative sources of funding will be available if our borrowing
requirements exceed the facilities. In addition, there can be no assurance that,
even if funding is available, the terms thereof will be attractive.

Other Matters

     Changing Accounting Standards.   In June 1998, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued FAS 133 which is not expected to have a material impact
on our results.

     Foreign Currency Exposure.   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
our results of operations. Our financial statements reflect remeasurement of
items denominated in non-U.S. currencies to U.S. Dollars, our functional
currency. Exchange gains or losses are included in income in the period in which
they occur. We monitor our exchange rate exposure and attempt to reduce such
exposure by hedging. We have entered into Japanese Yen, Korean Won, Singapore
Dollar, Taiwan Dollar and Euro forward contracts designed to reduce such
exposure.  At December 31, 1999, we held forward contracts with a notional
amount of approximately $8.4 million, a carrying amount of approximately $8.6
million and an unrealized loss of approximately $0.2 million.  There can be no
assurance that such forward contracts or any other hedging activity will be
available or adequate to eliminate, or even mitigate, the impact of our exchange
rate exposure. There can be no assurance that such risks will not have a
material adverse impact on our liquidity and results of operations in the
future.
