</TABLE>

         2. PRO FORMA NET LOSS PER SHARE

               The unaudited pro forma combined net loss per share is based upon
the combined  weighted  average  number of common shares  outstanding of Lam and
OnTrak reflecting an exchange ratio of 0.83 a share of Lam Common Stock for each
share of OnTrak Common Stock.


         3. TRANSACTION COSTS


               Lam and  OnTrak  incurred  costs  associated  with the  Merger of
approximately  $17.7 million which will be charged to operations of the combined
company, in the quarter ending September 30, 1997. Such costs include investment
advisory fees,  legal and accounting  fees,  financial  printing costs and other
merger related  expenses.  The Pro Forma Combined  Balance Sheet gives effect to
such  non-recurring  costs as if they had been incurred as of June 30, 1997, but
the Pro Forma  Combined  Statement  of  Operations  does not give effect to such
non-recurring costs.


         4. CONFORMING ADJUSTMENTS


               No adjustments  were required to conform the accounting  policies
of Lam and OnTrak.

                              ONTRAK SYSTEMS, INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

OnTrak  Systems,  Inc. ("the  Company") was  incorporated  in California in June
1985, and was  reincorporated in Delaware in November 1996. The  reincorporation
was accomplished  through the exchange of each outstanding share of no par value
Common  Stock of the  California  corporation  for one share of $.0001 par value
Common  Stock  of  the  newly  formed   Delaware   corporation.   The  Company's
Stockholders  Equity accounts have been restated to reflect the change to OnTrak
Delaware Common Stock, $.0001 par value, for all periods presented.  The Company
is a leading provider of semiconductor capital equipment for chemical mechanical
planarization and operates in a single industry segment.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting  principles  requires  management to make  estimates and  assumptions
which affect the amounts  reported in the financial  statements and accompanying
notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of consolidation

The  consolidated  financial  statements  of the Company  include the  financial
statements  of OnTrak  Systems,  Inc.  and its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries.  All
significant intercompany accounts and balances have been eliminated.

Revenue recognition

Revenue  related  to  systems  and  parts  sales is  generally  recognized  upon
shipment.  Customers  are not  given  the  right  to  return  systems;  however,
occasionally  customers  are  provided  with an  evaluation  system,  and  since
customers  can return such systems at any time with  limited or no penalty,  the
Company does not recognize the  associated  revenue until the system is accepted
by the customer. A provision for the cost of system installation and warranty is
recorded at the time revenue is recognized.  Service and maintenance  revenue is
recognized ratably over the period of the related service contract.

Cash equivalents and short-term investments

For purposes of the financial statement presentation,  the Company considers all
highly liquid investments with remaining maturities of three months or less when
purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents generally consist of treasury
notes and money  market  deposits.  Short-term  investments  consist of treasury
notes and municipal bonds purchased with remaining maturities greater than three
months. The Company has classified its short-term  investments as "available for
sale".

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of standard  cost,  which  approximates  actual
cost (on a first-in, first-out basis), or market.


                                       12

<PAGE>


Property and equipment

Property  and  equipment  is  stated  at  historical   cost,  less   accumulated
depreciation  and  amortization.  Depreciation  of  property  and  equipment  is
computed  using the  straight-line  method  based upon the  useful  lives of the
assets,  which  range  from three to seven  years.  Leasehold  improvements  are
amortized over the useful lives of the improvements or the lease term, whichever
is shorter.

Income taxes

Deferred tax assets and  liabilities  are recognized for the expected future tax
consequences  of  temporary  differences  between  the tax bases of  assets  and
liabilities and their financial statement reported amounts.

Concentration of credit risk

Financial  instruments  which  potentially  subject  the  Company to credit risk
consist  primarily of cash and cash  equivalents,  short-term  investments,  and
trade accounts  receivable.  The Company limits the amount of credit exposure to
any one financial  institution or commercial issuer. A majority of the Company's
accounts receivable are derived from sales to large multinational  semiconductor
manufacturers  and  semiconductor  equipment  distributors.  At June  30,  1997,
receivables from two customers  represented 25% and 15% of accounts  receivable.
At June 30, 1996,  receivables  from the same two customers  represented 25% and
18% of  accounts  receivable.  Concentrations  of credit  risk with  respect  to
accounts  receivable  are  considered  to be limited  due to the  quality of the
Company's  customer base and the diversity of its geographical  sales areas. The
Company  performs  ongoing  credit  evaluations  of  its  customers'   financial
condition  and  requires  collateral,  such as letters  of credit  and  security
agreements,  whenever deemed  necessary.  The Company maintains an allowance for
potential credit losses but has not experienced significant losses to date.

Net income per share

Net income per share for the periods prior to June 30, 1996 was determined using
the treasury stock method, and since then has been determined using the modified
treasury stock method,  since the number of options outstanding  exceeded 20% of
the outstanding  stock.  Under the treasury stock method,  earnings per share is
computed by dividing  net income by the  weighted  average  number of common and
common equivalent shares  outstanding  during the period,  including the assumed
net shares issuable upon exercise of dilutive stock options.  Under the modified
treasury stock method,  all stock options are assumed exercised whether dilutive
or not, and the proceeds from the assumed exercise are applied in steps.  First,
stock  is  assumed  to be  repurchased  up to a  maximum  of 20%  of the  actual
outstanding  shares.  Any  remaining  proceeds  are assumed to be used to reduce
debt,  and then to acquire  U.S.  Government  securities.  For  purposes of this
calculation,  net income is adjusted by the after tax interest effect related to
such assumed  transactions.  The result of the two step  approach is  aggregated
and, if dilutive,  enters into the earnings per share calculation.  The modified
treasury  stock  method can result in  different  earnings  per share than those
calculated  using the treasury  stock method.  For the years ended June 30, 1997
and 1996,  there was no significant  impact from applying the modified  treasury
stock method.

<TABLE>

In March 1997,  the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued  Statement on
Financial  Accounting  Standards (SFAS) 128, "Earnings Per Share," which changes
the manner in which the Company will compute earnings per share beginning in the
second quarter of fiscal year 1998. SFAS 128 requires  retroactive  presentation
of all  earnings  per share  amounts.  Pro forma basic and diluted  earnings per
share required to be disclosed under SFAS 128 are presented below.

Stock based compensation

In Fiscal Year 1997, the Company  adopted SFAS 123,  "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation."  In accordance  with the  provisions of SFAS 123, the Company has
elected to apply the intrinsic  valuation method for stock based compensation as
prescribed  by APB Opinion 25 and its related  interpretations,  and provide pro
forma and other  disclosures  required by SFAS 123.  Note 8 to the  Consolidated
Financial Statements contains a summary of the pro forma effects to reported net
income and  earnings  per share for the years ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 as if
the Company had elected to recognize  compensation  cost based on the fair value
of the options granted at grant date as prescribed by SFAS 123.


NOTE 2 - MERGER

In March 1997, the Company  signed a definitive  agreement to be acquired by Lam
Research  Corporation  ("Lam")  in a  transaction  expected  to  be a  tax  free
reorganization and to constitute a pooling of interests for accounting purposes,
in which each share of the  Company's  Common Stock would be exchanged  for 0.83
shares of Lam  Common  Stock,  subject to  potential  adjustment  under  certain
conditions.  The merger  was  completed  on August 5,  1997,  at which time each
outstanding  share of  Common  Stock  and  option to  acquire  Common  Stock was
exchanged  for 0.83 shares of Lam Common  Stock or options to acquire Lam Common
Stock, respectively.

================================================================================================
</TABLE>


At June 30, 1997,  approximately  $14.6 million of investments  were included in
cash and cash equivalents on the  consolidated  balance sheet, and the remainder
were classified as short-term investments.  At June 30, 1997, approximately $3.4
million  of the  short-term  investments  due in more than  three  months  had a
maturity date greater than one year.  The  difference  between the cost and fair
market value of the Company's short-term investments was not significant at June
30, 1997. The Company manages its cash equivalents and short-term investments as
a single portfolio of highly marketable securities, all of which are intended to
be available to meet the Company's current cash requirements.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company has evaluated the estimated fair value of its financial  instruments
using  available  market  quotes and other  relevant  information.  The  amounts
reported for  financial  instruments,  including  cash  equivalents,  short-term
investments, and long-term obligations, reasonably estimate their fair value.

NOTE 6 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company  received  financial  advisory  services  under an agreement  with a
consulting  firm,  a principal  of which  became a director  in April 1995.  The
agreement,  which was terminated in February 1996, provided for a consulting fee
of $10,000 per month. A total of $80,000 and $125,000 was paid to the consulting
firm  under  this  agreement  during  the years  ended  June 30,  1996 and 1995,
respectively. In November 1994, the Company paid $288,000 to the consulting firm
as a finder's fee and issued  warrants to purchase 98,000 shares of Common Stock
of the  Company at an  exercise  price of $3.542 per share in  consideration  of
services related to a preferred stock  financing.  These warrants were exercised
using a net  exercise  provision  in March 1997,  resulting  in the  issuance of
85,462 shares of Common Stock with no net proceeds.

NOTE 8 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY


Initial public offering

The Company  completed an initial  public  offering of  2,690,078  shares of the
Company's  Common  Stock in July 1995,  resulting in a net increase to equity of
$41.4 million.

Split off of Teleparts subsidiary

In  September  1996,  the  Company  distributed  all of the shares of  Teleparts
International,  Inc. ("Teleparts"),  its former wholly-owned subsidiary,  to the
Company's  former CEO in  exchange  for 30,000  shares of the  Company's  Common
Stock. The book value of the net assets of Teleparts at the date of distribution
was  approximately  $318,000  and the fair  value of the  30,000  shares  of the
Company's common stock was approximately  $420,000. The revenues and earnings of
Teleparts  prior to the split off are  included  in the  Company's  consolidated
results of  operations,  but were not  significant.  Because of the  significant
ownership  in the  Company  by the former CEO  (approximately  9%,  prior to the
redemption)  the  transaction  was  recorded  at the book  value  of the  assets
exchanged and no gain was recorded.

Stock option plans

The Company has adopted  incentive  and  nonstatutory  stock  option  plans (the
"Employee  Plans") for which 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock have been reserved
for issuance.  Incentive stock option and nonstatutory stock option grants under
the  Employee  Plans must be at prices of at least 100% of the fair market value
of the stock on the date of grant. The options generally vest 25% per year.

The Company has also adopted a director stock option plan (the "Director  Plan")
and  reserved  125,000  shares of  Common  Stock for  issuance  thereunder.  The
Director  Plan  provides  for  the  grant  of  nonstatutory   stock  options  to
nonemployee directors of the Company pursuant to an automatic,  nondiscretionary
grant mechanism.

During fiscal year 1996, the Company issued an option to purchase 800,000 shares
of Common Stock to the Company's Chief Executive Officer at an exercise price of
$17.25 per share.  In November  1996,  following the approval of the 1996 Equity
Incentive  Plan by the  Company's  stockholders,  this option was  canceled  and
reissued with identical terms.

At June 30, 1997, a total of 950,000 options were exercisable under the Employee

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In May 1995,  the Company  adopted the 1995  Employee  Stock  Purchase Plan (the
"Purchase  Plan")  and  reserved  200,000  shares of Common  Stock for  issuance
thereunder. The Purchase Plan enables eligible employees to contribute up to 10%
of their  compensation  towards the purchase of shares of the  Company's  common
stock at 85% of the  lower of the fair  market  value at the  beginning  of each
two-year  offering  period or the end of each  six-month  purchase  period.  The
Purchase Plan is intended to qualify as an "employee  stock purchase plan" under
Section  423 of the  U.S.  Internal  Revenue  Code.  During  fiscal  year  1997,
approximately  44,000  shares were issued under the Purchase  Plan.  At June 30,
1997,  approximately  141,000  shares of Common  Stock were  reserved for future
issuance under the Purchase Plan.

Stock based compensation

In accordance  with the provisions of SFAS 123, the Company  applies APB Opinion
25 and related  interpretations  in  accounting  for its stock  option and stock
purchase plans.  Accordingly,  the Company does not recognize  compensation cost
because the exercise  price of the stock options  equals the market price of the
underlying  stock on the date of grant.  If the Company had elected to recognize
compensation  cost based on the estimated  fair value of the options  granted as
prescribed  by SFAS 123,  net  income  and  earnings  per share  would have been
reduced to the pro forma amounts shown below:

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the
fair value of traded  options which have no vesting  restrictions  and are fully
transferable.  In addition,  option valuation models require the input of highly
subjective  assumptions  including the expected  stock  volatility.  Because the
Company's  employee  stock options and employee  stock purchase plan rights have
characteristics  significantly  different from those of publicly traded options,
and because changes in the subjective  input  assumptions can materially  affect
the fair value  estimate,  in management's  opinion,  the existing models do not
necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company's
employee  stock options and employee  stock  purchase plan rights.  In addition,
because SFAS 123 is applicable only to options granted  beginning in fiscal year
1996,  its pro forma  effect  will not be fully  reflected  until  approximately
fiscal year 1999.

In the normal course of business,  the Company receives and makes inquiries with
regard to possible  patent  infringement  and other legal matters.  Where deemed
advisable,  the Company may seek to enter into or extend  licenses or  negotiate
settlements.  Outcomes of such  negotiations  may not be determinable at any one
point in time; however,  management does not believe that the outcome of pending
legal matters will have a material effect on the Company's financial position or
results of operations.

In June 1995,  the Company  entered  into a worldwide,  nonexclusive  patent and
license agreement with a manufacturer of semiconductor  capital  equipment.  The
license  agreement  resulted  from a  disputed  claim by the  licensor  that the
Company's  products  infringed  a patent  owned by the  licensor.  Although  the
Company believed that the patent would not have been enforceable against it, the
Company  negotiated the license  agreement to avoid the inherent risks and costs
of  litigation.  Under the license  agreement,  the Company  made a $1.5 million
payment  upon the closing of the  Company's  initial  public  offering  for past
royalties  through October 1, 1995.  Additionally,  the Company is obligated for
royalties  equal to 1.5% of covered  sales of the  Company's  cleaning  systems,
until an  additional  $1.5  million  has been paid.  The Company  charged  $1.25
million to expense  in the nine  months  ended  March 31,  1995 for the  royalty
related to prior  periods.  Royalty  expense of $ 891,000 and  $719,000  for the
years ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 and $125,000 for the three month period ended
June 30,  1995 was charged to cost of sales.  At June 30,  1997,  the  remaining
obligation under the royalty agreement was approximately $15,000.
