5.    Change in Method of Accounting for Inventories
      ----------------------------------------------

Effective August 27, 2000, the Company changed its method of accounting for its
domestic inventories from the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method to the first-in,
first-out (FIFO) method. Management believes that the accounting change is
preferable in the circumstances because the accounting change provides a better
matching of costs and revenues in periods when the cost of goods and services
are declining. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America, the financial statements of prior periods have
been restated to apply the new method retroactively. Accordingly, retained
earnings at August 26, 2000 on the accompanying balance sheet has been adjusted
for the effect (net of income taxes) of applying retroactively the new method of
accounting.

The effect of the accounting change on income in the first quarter of fiscal
2001 and fiscal 2000 is shown below:

6.    Subsequent Event
      ----------------

On January 8, 2001, the Company and Metron Technology N.V. (Metron), its 20.2%-
owned affiliate, announced that they had signed an agreement to modify their
existing distribution agreements. Specifically, the Company and Metron agreed to
the early termination of the Microelectronics Group product distribution
agreement, and the completion of a new distribution agreement for Entegris'
Fluid Handling Group products, anticipated to run through at least August 31,
2005. In addition, the Company will transfer to Metron 1.125 million shares of
its Metron stock and will make cash payments totaling $1.75 million, over a 15-
month period. Entegris will also buy back approximately $2.5 million worth of
existing inventory from Metron. The new agreements are anticipated to be
effective no later than March 1, 2001. The Company is analyzing the impact of
the contemplated changes on its financial position and results of operations,
but expects to report a charge to earnings upon consummation of the new
distribution agreements.

</TABLE>

Net sales. Net sales were $102.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2001,
compared to $71.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2000. The improvement
reflected the increase in product sales associated with the sustained recovery
in the semiconductor industry that began in the second half of fiscal 1999.
Revenue gains were recorded in all geographic regions and across all product
lines. International sales accounted for approximately 48% of net sales,
essentially unchanged from fiscal 2000 levels.

Gross profit. Gross profit in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 increased by
$20.9 million to $52.6 million, an increase of 66% over the $31.7 million
reported in the first quarter of fiscal 2000. The gross margin for the fiscal
2001 first quarter improved to 51.2% compared to 44.1% a year ago. The gross
margin and gross profit improvements were reported by both domestic and
international operations. The improvements in fiscal 2001 reflected improved
utilization of our production capacity associated with the higher sales levels
noted above and the successful management of manufacturing costs. Partly
offsetting the factors underlying the gross profit improvement was $0.8 million
in asset impairment charges in the first quarter of fiscal 2001, mainly for
asset write-offs of molds that were determined to have no future use. As noted
in Note 5 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company
changed its method of accounting for inventories from LIFO to FIFO.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and
administrative (SG&A) expenses increased $6.2 million, or 41%, to $21.2 million
in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 from $15.0 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 2000. The increase was due to higher personnel costs, commissions and
incentive compensation accruals, expenditures for personnel and information
systems, and charitable contributions. SG&A costs, as a percent of net sales,
decreased slightly to 20.7% from 20.9%.

Engineering, research and development expenses. Engineering, research and
development expenses of $3.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 were
essentially unchanged from the first quarter of fiscal 2000. Engineering,
research and development costs, as a percent of net sales, decreased to 3.4%
from 4.9% due to increased net sales.

Interest (income) expense, net. Net interest income of $1.5 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to net interest expense of $1.1 million in the
year-ago period. The variance reflected the elimination of domestic bank
borrowings and capital lease obligations, as well as the short-term investment
of sizable available cash balances. This transformation occurred after the
Company received net proceeds of $99.0 million from its initial public offering
in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000, $42 million of which was used to retire
long-term debt and capital lease obligations.

Other expense (income), net. Other expense was $80,000 in the first quarter of
fiscal 2001 compared to other income of $6.1 million in the first quarter a year
ago. The change mainly reflects the absence of the first quarter fiscal 2000
pre-tax $5.5 million gain recognized on the sale of approximately 612,000 shares
of the Company's investment in Metron Technology N.V. (Metron) as part of
Metron's initial public offering in November 1999.

Income tax expense. Income tax expense of $11.1 million was significantly higher
in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to $6.2 million in income tax
expense reported a year earlier,

                                       8
<PAGE>

primarily reflecting significantly higher income. The effective tax rate in
fiscal 2001 was 38.0% compared to 34.0% in fiscal 2000.

Equity in net income of affiliates. Equity in the net income of affiliates was
$0.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to $0.3 million in the
first quarter a year earlier. This improvement primarily reflects the operating
results of Metron, which also benefited from the industry conditions affecting
our results.

Net income. Net income increased to $18.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal
2001, compared to net income of $12.1 million in the year-ago period. Net income
applicable to nonredeemable common shareholders was $18.1 million, or $0.25 per
share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2001. After the market value adjustment
related to redeemable common stock, the net loss applicable to nonredeemable
common shareholders was $20.7 million, or $0.56 per share diluted, in the first
quarter of fiscal 2000. Excluding the effect of the market value adjustment
related to redeemable common stock, pro forma earnings per share were $0.19 per
share in the first quarter of fiscal 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating activities. Cash flow provided by operating activities totaled $17.2
million in the first quarter of fiscal 2001. Net income and noncash charges,
such as depreciation, accounted for the strong cash flow generated by
operations, which was partly offset by higher working capital requirements,
principally related to accounts receivable growth of $9.0 million. Working
capital at November 25, 2000 stood at $179.8 million, including $117.2 million
in cash and cash equivalents.

Investing activities. Cash flow used in investing activities totaled $2.5
million in the first quarter of fiscal 2001. Acquisition of property and
equipment totaled $4.0 million and included additions of manufacturing equipment
and the upgrading and integration of information systems. The Company expects
capital expenditures of approximately $35 million during fiscal 2001, consisting
mainly of spending on manufacturing equipment and information systems.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2000, we received $7.4 million from the sale of
612,000 shares of our investment in Metron Technology N.V. (Metron)., leaving
us with ownership of approximately 2.7 million shares, or 20.3% of total Metron
shares outstanding.

Financing activities. Cash used in financing activities totaled a nominal $0.3
million during the first quarter of fiscal 2001. In addition to making scheduled
payments $0.5 million on our borrowings, we repurchased common shares for $0.2
million in the first quarter of fiscal 2001, primarily in connection with the
redemption of common stock from our Employee Stock Ownership Plan. In December
2000, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to
500,000 shares of common stock.

As of November 25, 2000, our sources of available funds comprised $117.2 million
in cash and cash equivalents, and various credit facilities. We have unsecured
revolving commitments with two commercial banks with aggregate borrowing
capacity of $30.0 million, with no borrowings outstanding at November 25, 2000.
We also have lines of credit, equivalent to an aggregate of approximately $12
million with six international banks, which provide for borrowings of German
deutsche marks, Malaysian ringgits and Japanese yen for our overseas
subsidiaries. Borrowings outstanding on these lines of credit were $8.7 million
at November 25, 2000.

At November 25, 2000, the Company's shareholders' equity stood at $284.4
million. Book value per share was $4.16, up from $3.91 per share at the end of
fiscal 2000. Net earnings accounted for the increase.

We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operations and
available credit facilities

                                       9
<PAGE>

will be sufficient to meet our working capital and investment requirements for
the next twelve months. However, our future growth, including potential
acquisitions, may require additional funding, and from time to time we may need
to raise capital through additional equity or debt financing.

Subsequent Event

On January 8, 2001, the Company and Metron Technology N.V. (Metron), its 20.2%-
owned affiliate, announced that they had signed an agreement to modify their
existing distribution agreements. Specifically, the Company and Metron agreed to
the early termination of the Microelectronics Group product distribution
agreement, and the completion of a new distribution agreement for Entegris'
Fluid Handling Group products, anticipated to run through at least August 31,
2005. In addition, the Company will transfer to Metron 1.125 million shares of
its Metron stock and will make cash payments totaling $1.75 million, over a 15-
month period. Entegris will also buy back approximately $2.5 million worth of
existing inventory from Metron. The new agreements are anticipated to be
effective no later than March 1, 2001. The Company is analyzing the impact of
the contemplated changes on its financial position and results of operations,
but expects to report a charge to earnings upon consummation of the new
distribution agreements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

        In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement, as amended, requires
companies to record derivatives on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities,
measured at fair value. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the values of
those derivatives would be accounted for depending on the use of the derivative
and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. We adopted SFAS No. 133 in the
first quarter of fiscal 2001. Adoption of SFAS No. 133 did not materially impact
our financial position or results of operations.

Cautionary Statements
This report contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements may include
forward-looking statements which reflect the Company's current views with
respect to future events and financial performance. The words "believe,"
"expect," "anticipate," "intends," "estimate," "forecast," "project," "should"
and similar expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All
forecasts and projections in this document are "forward-looking statements," and

results, based on current information available pertaining to the Company,
including the risk factors identified in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-
K for the fiscal year ended August 25, 2000.

Item 3:  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
-------------------------------------------------------------------

        Our principal market risks are sensitivities to interest rates and
foreign currency exchange rates. Our exposure to interest rate fluctuations is
not significant. Most of our outstanding debt at August 26, 2000 carried fixed
rates of interest. All of our short-term investments are debt instruments that
mature in three months or less.

        We use derivative financial instruments to manage foreign currency
exchange rate risk associated with the sale of products from the United States
when such sales are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The
cash flows and earnings of our foreign-based operations are also subject to
fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. A hypothetical 10% change in the foreign
currency exchange rates would increase or decrease our net income by
approximately $2 million.

        Our cash flows and earnings are also subject to fluctuations in foreign
exchange rates due to investments in foreign-based affiliates. Investments in
affiliates includes our 20% interest in Metron. Metron attempts to limit its
exposure to changing foreign currency exchange rates through operational and
financial market actions. Products are sold in a number of countries throughout
the world resulting in a diverse portfolio of transactions denominated in
foreign currencies. Metron manages certain short-term foreign currency exposures
by the purchase of forward contracts to offset the earnings and cash flow impact
of foreign currency denominated receivables and payables.

        Our investment in Metron is accounted for by the equity method of
accounting and has a carrying value on the balance sheet of approximately $15.4
million. The fair value of Metron is subject to stock market fluctuations. Based
on the closing stock price of Metron on November 25, 2000, the fair value of our
investment in Metron was approximately $19.2 million.
