OVERVIEW

     CVC is a worldwide supplier of process equipment used in the manufacture of
magnetic  recording  heads  for tape and disk  drives,  optical  components  for
telecommunications  and  advanced  semiconductor  devices for  computers.  CVC's
principal  product  is  the  CONNEXION  Cluster  Tool  system,   which  provides
integrated  deposition and etch equipment based on a central substrate  handling
platform  and  a  series  of  interchangeable  thin  film  deposition  and  etch
processing  modules.  CVC also  derives  revenue  from the sale of spare  parts,
enhancements, and field service contracts. In order to expand its technology and
broaden its offering of process modules,  CVC acquired  Commonwealth  Scientific
Corporation in May 1999.  Commonwealth's primary products are ion beam etch, ion
beam  deposition and  diamond-like  carbon process  modules for the data storage
industry  and  ion  beam  sources  principally  used  by  suppliers  of  optical
equipment.

THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31,
1998

     REVENUES.  Revenues  increased 72.1% to $25.2 million for the quarter ended
December 31, 1999 from $14.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 1998. Of
the  increase  in  revenue,   approximately  $5.4  million  is  attributable  to
additional sales from Commonwealth  Scientific Corporation which was acquired in
May 1999, as well as increased  sales to data storage  customers of $3.3 million
and increased sales to semiconductor  customers of $2.1 million. These increased
sales were partially offset by decreased  revenues due to the disposition of two
non-core product lines during fiscal 1999.

     GROSS MARGIN.  Gross margin  decreased to 38.5% of revenues for the quarter
ended  December 31, 1999 from 43.7% for the quarter ended December 31, 1998. The
lower  margins are mainly a  reflection  of product mix.  Product  lines such as
spares,  service and  enhancements,  which tend to have more favorable  margins,
represented an unusually high  percentage of overall  revenue in the fiscal 1999
first quarter when compared to the same period in fiscal 2000.

     RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT.  Research and development  expenses  increased by
63.3% to $4.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 from $2.4 million for
the same period in fiscal  1999.  As a  percentage  of  revenues,  research  and
development  expenses were 15.8% and 16.6% for the quarters  ended  December 31,
1999  and  1998,  respectively.   The  increase  in  these  expenses  is  mainly
attributable to $1.1 million of research personnel,  related expenses associated
with the Commonwealth acquisition,  $0.2 million in outside contractors utilized
to assist in the  development  of internal  projects  and $0.2 million in higher
depreciation due to additional  capitalization of demonstration tools throughout
fiscal 1999.

     SALES AND  MARKETING.  Sales and marketing  expenses  increased by 54.0% to
$3.0 million for the quarter  ended  December 31, 1999 from $1.9 million for the
quarter  ended  December  31,  1998.  As a  percentage  of  revenues,  sales and
marketing  expenses  decreased to 11.8% for the December 1999 quarter from 13.2%
for the December 1998 quarter. Of the $1.1 million increase, $0.9 million is due
to the addition of  personnel  and their  related  expenses  resulting  from the
acquisition of  Commonwealth.  The remainder of the increase is  attributable to
the addition of personnel and related expenses in field service to support CVC's
expanded product offering and customer base.

     GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE.  General and administrative  expenses increased
by 89.5% to $1.5 million for the first  quarter of fiscal 2000 from $0.8 million
in the first quarter of fiscal 1999.  As a percentage  of revenues,  general and
administrative  expenses were 6.1% and 5.5% for the quarters  ended December 31,
1999 and 1998, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses
reflects  additional costs of $0.4 million due to the  Commonwealth  acquisition
and additional accruals for doubtful accounts of $0.2 million.

     INTEREST  AND OTHER,  NET.  Interest and other,  net  decreased by 14.9% to
$277,000 in the quarter  ended  December  31, 1999 from  $326,000 in the quarter
ended December 31, 1998.  This decrease  reflects lower interest  expense due to
the payment of debt with a portion of the  proceeds  from CVC's  initial  public
offering during the first quarter of fiscal 2000.

     INCOME TAXES. Income tax expense was relatively  consistent on a comparable
basis for the first  quarter of fiscal 2000 to the first quarter of fiscal 1999.
The effective rate for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 was 42.0% compared to
the  effective  rate of 46.6% for the  quarter  ended  December  31,  1998.  The
decrease in the effective rate is based on an anticipated decrease in the annual
effective   rate  for  fiscal  2000  due  to  a  less   significant   impact  of
non-deductible items as compared to fiscal 1999.

     IN-PROCESS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

     During  fiscal  1999,  as part of the purchase of  Commonwealth,  the value
assigned to research expenditures on products in the development stage which had
not reached  technological  feasibility  and for which  there is no  alternative
future use were written off in accordance with applicable accounting rules. This
write-off amounted to approximately $1.2 million, respectively.

     The  in-process  technology  acquired  from  Commonwealth  consists of four
technology groupings: ion source products, etch modules, deposition modules, and
dielectric  deposition modules,  which had assigned values of $0.2 million, $0.5
million,  $0.3 million and $0.2  million,  respectively.  Descriptions  of these
groupings are as follows:


o    Ion source  products,  including both ion sources and power  supplies,  are
     being designed for use in applications  that include  etching,  deposition,
     surface modification, and ion assist.

o    The etch modules are being designed to support the market  requirements for
     ion beam processing applications.

o    The  deposition  modules are being  designed to support very thin  metallic
     film through ion beam sputter deposition of target materials.

o    The dielectric  deposition  modules are being designed to support very thin
     dielectric film through ion beam sputter deposition of target materials.

     There  is a  risk  associated  with  the  completion  of the  research  and
development  ("R&D")  projects.  CVC cannot assure that any of the projects will
achieve technological or commercial success without the successful completion of
the remaining R&D efforts on the acquired in-process  technologies.  Without the
successful  completion of the  remaining R&D efforts,  CVC would not realize the
future  revenues  and profits  attributed  to the acquired  R&D.  CVC  believes,
however,  that the failure of any  particular  in-process  R&D project would not
materially impact CVC's financial position or operating results.

     At December 31, 1999,  the estimated  development  completion  costs of the
in-process R&D projects  acquired from  Commonwealth  approximates $1.2 million,
which will be incurred in the  remainder  of fiscal  2000.  The total  estimated
completion  costs and dates of completion  are  relatively  consistent  with the
estimates made at the acquisition date.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     On November  12, 1999,  CVC  received net proceeds of $27.0  million from a
public equity  offering,  consisting of 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock sold by
CVC and 500,000 shares of Common Stock sold by certain shareholders of CVC at an
initial public offering price of $10.00 per share. CVC used a portion of the net
proceeds from the offering to repay  approximately  $12.0 million of debt, $10.0
million  for the  redemption  of  Series D  Redeemable  Preferred  Stock and the
balance for general corporate purposes.  CVC did not receive any of the proceeds
from the sale of shares by the selling stockholders.

     As of  December  31,  1999,  CVC had  working  capital  of  $38.9  million,
including cash and cash equivalents of $4.2 million, compared to working capital
of $22.1 million as of September 30, 1999.

     Operating activities provided cash of $0.6 million for the first quarter of
fiscal 2000 as compared to providing  cash of $1.5 million in the first  quarter
of fiscal 1999.  The decrease in cash  provided  from  operating  activities  is
primarily attributable to changes in components of working capital.

                                       10

     As of December 31,  1999,  CVC had  available a $15.0  million bank line of
credit and a $3.0 million  equipment line of credit.  Maximum  borrowings  under
these lines are based upon certain  financial  criteria and these borrowings are
at an interest rate of prime. There were no borrowings  outstanding under either
of these lines as of December 31, 1999.

     CVC expects to spend approximately $6.0 million on capital  expenditures in
the current  fiscal year, of which $0.9 million had been incurred as of December
31, 1999, including amounts capitalized from inventory. The capital expenditures
were primarily for demonstration and development  system tools. CVC continues to
invest heavily in demonstration  and development tools for use at its facilities
in order to demonstrate new product  capabilities for its magnetic head, optical
component and semiconductor device customers.

     CVC believes that existing cash balances  together with cash generated from
operations and amounts available under existing lines of credit will be adequate
to fund operations for at least the next 12 months.

     CVC's  long-term  capital  requirements  will be affected by many  factors,
including  the success of CVC's  current  product  offerings,  CVC's  ability to
enhance its current products and to develop and introduce new products that keep
pace with technological  developments and general trends in the data storage and
semiconductor industries.  CVC plans to finance its long-term capital needs with
the net proceeds of the initial public  offering,  together with  borrowings and
cash flow from  operations.  To the extent that these funds are  insufficient to
finance CVC's  activities,  CVC will have to raise  additional funds through the
issuance of additional  equity or debt securities or through other means.  There
can be no assurance  that  additional  financing will be available on acceptable
terms.


YEAR 2000

     CVC has not  experienced  any  material  disruptions  of its  computer  and
microprocessor-based  devices or operating  difficulties of its mission critical
applications or critical  devices  relating to the Year 2000 issue. In addition,
CVC is not aware of any difficulties with its products at customer sites nor has
CVC  experienced  any  material  problems  related  to  applications  or devices
provided  by  critical  external  parties  for use by CVC.  We have no reason to
believe that Year 2000 failures will seriously affect us in the future. However,
given the proximity to January 1, 2000 and the  possibility  of latent Year 2000
defects, we cannot yet be sure that we will not experience Year 2000 failures or
be affected by  third-party  Year 2000  failures,  either of which may adversely
impact our business. CVC will continue to monitor the operation of its computers
and microprocessor-based devices for any Year 2000 related problems.
