                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To The Board of Directors and Stockholders
NexStar Automation, Inc. and Subsidiary
Longmont, CO

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of NexStar Automation, Inc. and
Subsidiary as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1995. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of NexStar Automation,
Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company is engaged in the business of designing, assembling, customizing,
installing and supporting production automation systems, which typically
incorporate customized robotics. The Company's focus is directed toward the data
storage, medical/pharmaceutical and food processing industries. The Company
commenced operations on January 4, 1993.

In April of 1994, FBA Ventures Ltd. ("FBA") acquired all the issued and
outstanding common shares of NexStar Corporation ("NexStar") in exchange for
2,700,000 shares of common stock of FBA, of which 2,525,000 shares held in
escrow. For financial reporting purposes, the business combination was accounted
for as an additional capitalization of the Company (a reverse acquisition with
NexStar as the acquirer). NexStar is considered the surviving entity. The
historical financial statements prior to the merger are those of NexStar. The
stockholders of NexStar received 2,700,000 shares of FBA stock for an
approximate 58% interest in the new combined entity. FBA's only assets consisted
of cash and funds advanced to NexStar.

ESCROW AGREEMENT

According to the purchase agreement, 2,525,000 shares of FBA common stock are to
be placed in escrow with the Escrow Agent for the Shareholder. In September of
1994, 224,015 shares were released leaving 2,300,985 escrow shares as of
December 31, 1994. The shareholders may exercise all voting rights of these
shares with certain restrictions. Under the escrow agreement, the shares may be
released annually, on a pro rata basis based on the Company's cumulative cash
flow. In the event that any escrow shares are not released from escrow before
December 31, 2004, those escrow shares are to be canceled. The escrow shares are
presented as outstanding in these financial statements as management believes
they will all be released from escrow.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The 1995 consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NexStar
Automation, Inc. and Subsidiary, a Canadian corporation and its wholly owned
subsidiary NexStar Corporation (a Colorado corporation). All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

RECONCILIATION OF CANADIAN AND UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING
PRINCIPLES

The differences between generally accepted accounting principles used in Canada
(Canadian GAAP) and the United States (U.S. GAAP) do not significantly impact
the financial statements of the Company for all periods presented. All amounts
are expressed in United States dollars.

INVENTORY

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market and primarily consists of
purchased raw materials and work in process. Cost is determined using the
first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Replacements, renewals and
improvements are capitalized and costs for repairs and maintenance are expensed
as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of five years.

ORGANIZATION COSTS

Organization costs are all business start-up costs incurred by the Company.
These costs have been capitalized and are being amortized over a five-year
period.

DEFERRED OFFERING COSTS

Deferred offering costs represent costs incurred in connection with the
Company's proposed public offering in the United States. Deferred offering costs
will be offset against net proceeds, if successful, or expensed in operations if
the offering is unsuccessful.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue from automation projects is accounted for under the
percentage-of-completion method, using labor costs incurred to date in relation
to estimated total labor costs of the contracts to measure the stage of
completion. The cumulative effects of revisions of estimated total contract
costs and revenues are recorded in the period in which the facts requiring the
revision become known. When a loss is anticipated on a contract, the full amount
thereof is provided currently. The differences between amounts billed and
revenue recognized is shown as revenue in excess of billings and deferred
revenue on the accompanying balance sheets.

Totals of revenue earned billings on uncompleted contracts are as follows:

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly
liquid cash investments with original maturity dates of three months or less to
be cash equivalents.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

The Company occasionally has deposits in financial institutions which exceed the
federally insured limits as of December 31, 1995. This amount exceeded the
limits by approximately $307,000. The Company reduced its credit risk with
respect to receivables by requiring deposits before production begins and
continually monitors the industries and its customers before granting credit.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Research and development costs for new products are charged to expense as
incurred.

INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS No.
109") (Note 6).

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In March of 1995, the Company issued 54,617 shares of its common stock to the
President of the Company as compensation for guarantying the line-of-credit. The
shares were valued at $.46 per share, the fair market value of the stock on the
date of issue.

NOTE 3 - NOTE RECEIVABLE

At December 31, 1995, the Company received a note receivable totaling $70,000.
The note is payable in quarterly installments of $4,107, commencing February
1996 through November 2000. The note bears interest at 7% and is without
collateral. Future maturities of this note are as follows:

NOTE 5 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In February 1995, the Company entered into a lease agreement for its office and
manufacturing facilities. Under the terms of the lease, the Company is obligated
to make monthly payments of $8,166 through termination of the lease on April 1,
1997. Amounts due after December 31, 1995 are as follows:

         1996                         $      97,992
         1997                                24,498

                                      =============

Rental expense for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 was approximately
$91,000 and $28,000, respectively.

In fiscal 1994, the Company entered into $65,000 line-of-credit agreement with a
bank. During 1995, the line-of-credit was renewed to provide up to $150,000 of
borrowings and matures January 31, 1996. Total outstanding borrowings on the
line-of-credit were $0 and $52,700 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
The line is collateralized by the Company's savings account and guaranteed by
the Company's President. The line accrues interest at 7%.

NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES

Effective for the year ended December 31, 1994, the Company adopted the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting
for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109) which requires recognition of deferred tax
liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that
have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this
method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the
difference between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and
liabilities using the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the
difference is expected to reverse. The measurement of deferred tax assets is
reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits that, based on
available evidence, are not expected to be realized.

                        NEXSTAR AUTOMATION, INCORPORATED
                                 AND SUBSIDIARY

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 -- INTERIM  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

In the opinion of Nexstar Automation, Incorporated and Subsidiary (the
"Company"), the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain
all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to
present fairly the financial position of the Company at June 30, 1996 and the
results of their operations and changes in cash flows for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 and 1995. The results of operations for the six months ended June
30, 1996 and 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the full year.

NOTE 2 -- ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company is engaged in the business of designing, assembling, customizing,
installing and supporting production automation systems, which typically
incorporate customized robotics. The Company's focus is directed toward the data
storage, medical/pharmaceutical and food processing industries. The Company
commenced operations on January 4, 1993.

In April of 1994, FBA Ventures Ltd. ("FBA") acquired all the issued and
outstanding common shares of NexStar Corporation ("NexStar") in exchange for
2,700,000 shares of common stock of FBA, of which 2,525,000 shares held in
escrow. For financial reporting purposes, the business combination was accounted
for as an additional capitalization of the Company (a reverse acquisition with
NexStar as the acquirer). NexStar is considered the surviving entity. The
historical financial statements prior to the merger are those of NexStar. The
stockholders of NexStar received 2,700,000 shares of FBA stock for an
approximate 58% interest in the new combined entity. FBA's only assets consisted
of cash and funds advanced to NexStar.

ESCROW AGREEMENT

According to the purchase agreement, 2,525,000 shares of FBA common stock are to
be placed in escrow with the Escrow Agent for the Shareholder. In September of
1994, 224,015 shares were released leaving 2,300,985 escrow shares as of
December 31, 1994. The shareholders may exercise all voting rights of these
shares with certain restrictions. Under the escrow agreement, the shares may be
released annually, on a prorata basis based on the Company's cumulative cash
flow. In the event that any escrow shares are not released from escrow before
December 31, 2004, those escrow shares are to be canceled. The escrow shares are
presented as outstanding in these financial statements as management believes
they will all be released from escrow.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 2 -- ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT 
          ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NexStar
Automation, Inc. and Subsidiary, a Canadian corporation and its wholly owned
subsidiary NexStar Corporation (a Colorado corporation). All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

RECONCILIATION OF CANADIAN AND UNITED STATES GENERALLY 
ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

The differences between generally accepted accounting principles used in Canada
(Canadian GAAP) and the United States (U.S. GAAP) do not significantly impact
the financial statements of the Company. All amounts are expressed in United
States dollars.

INVENTORY

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market and primarily consists of
purchased raw materials and work in process. Cost is determined using the
first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Replacements, renewals and
improvements are capitalized and costs for repairs and maintenance are expensed
as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of five years.

ORGANIZATION COSTS

Organization costs are all business start-up costs incurred by the Company.
These costs have been capitalized and are being amortized over a five-year
period.

DEFERRED OFFERING COSTS

Deferred offering costs represent costs incurred in connection with the
Company's proposed public offering in the United States. Deferred offering costs
will be offset against net proceeds, if successful, or expensed in operations if
the offering is unsuccessful.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 2 -- ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT 
          ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue from automation projects is accounted for under the
percentage-of-completion method, using labor costs incurred to date in relation
to estimated total labor costs of the contracts to measure the stage of
completion. The cumulative effects of revisions of estimated total contract
costs and revenues are recorded in the period in which the facts requiring the
revision become known. When a loss is anticipated on a contract, the full amount
thereof is provided currently. The differences between amounts billed and
revenue recognized is shown as revenue in excess of billings and deferred
revenue on the accompanying balance sheets.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly
liquid cash investments with original maturity dates of three months or less to
be cash equivalents.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

The Company occasionally has deposits in financial institutions which exceed the
federally insured limits as of June 30, 1996. This amount exceeded the limits by
approximately $400,000. The Company reduced its credit risk with respect to
receivables by requiring deposits before production begins and continually
monitors the industries and its customers before granting credit.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Research and development costs for new products are charged to expense as
incurred.

INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS No.
109") (Note 6).

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 3 -- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In March of 1995, the Company issued 54,617 shares of its common stock to the
President of the Company as compensation for guarantying the line-of-credit. The
shares were valued at $.46 per share, the fair market value of the stock on the
date of issue.

The note is payable in quarterly installments of $4,107, commencing February
1996 through November 2000. The note bears interest at 7% and is without

The accompanying pro forma consolidated financial information is presented in
U.S. dollars and has been prepared under U.S. accounting standards.

                  PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Effective as of August 8, 1996, Zygo completed its acquisition of Technical
Instruments Company. Prior to the acquisition, Technical Instrument Company
("TIC") was engaged in two businesses: the proprietary products division which
designs, develops, manufactures, markets, and sells microscopy systems and
subsystems, or modules, and a distribution division which acts as a sales
representative for other firms' products. In connection with the acquisition,
the distribution division was spun off into a new company, Technical Instruments
- - San Francisco, prior to the completion of the acquisition of the TIC stock by
Zygo. The consideration given for the stock acquired was approximately
$11,700,000 in cash and common stock of Zygo valued at $3,000,000. Zygo has
accounted for the acquisition of TIC as a purchase under the U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").

Effective as of September 12, 1996, Zygo completed its acquisition of NexStar
Automation, Inc. ("NexStar") in which Zygo exchanged 250,000 shares of its
common stock for all of the issued and outstanding shares of NexStar.

The following pro forma consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements
of income (collectively, the "Pro Forma Financial Statements") were prepared by
Zygo to illustrate the estimated effects of the business combination with TIC
and of the business combination with NexStar which is accounted for as a
pooling-of-interest under U.S. GAAP. The pro forma financial information has
been referred to as "consolidated" with the NexStar pooling and represents the
consolidation of TIC pursuant to purchase accounting. The pro forma consolidated
financial statements do not present the net assets or results of operations of
TIC's discontinued distribution segment. The pro forma consolidated statements
of operations also do not present a nonrecurring charge to earnings of
$10,084,000 relating to in-process research and development of TIC.

Note: In preparing the Pro Forma Financial Statements, financial data from the
same periods as Zygo has been compiled; therefore, the Pro Forma Financial
Statements cover Zygo's fiscal periods and not those of TIC and NexStar.

All amounts in the Pro Forma Financial Statements are stated in U.S. dollars
unless otherwise stated. The Pro Forma Financial Statements give retrospective
effect to material differences between Zygo's and TIC's and NexStar's accounting
policies which have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
The Pro Forma Financial Statements also give retrospective effect for the
allocation of the TIC purchase price to the assets and intangibles of TIC. Such
intangibles include patents, licenses, drawings and technology, customer lists,
workforce, in-process research and development, and

                                      F-23

goodwill. The Pro Forma Financial Statements do not purport to represent what
the consolidated financial position or results of operations actually would have
been if the combination with TIC and NexStar had occurred at the beginning of
the periods or to project the consolidated financial position or results of
operations for any future date or period.

The Pro Forma Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the
historical consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, of
Zygo, TIC, and NexStar, prepared in accordance with the U.S. GAAP.

The Pro Forma Financial Statements are presented utilizing purchase accounting
with respect to the Zygo/TIC consolidation and the pooling-of-interests method
of accounting for the proposed NexStar acquisition. In pooling-of-interests
accounting the recorded assets, liabilities, shareholders' equity, and results
of operations of Zygo/TIC and NexStar become the consolidated assets,
liabilities, shareholders' equity, and results of operations. The Pro Forma
Financial Statements also include pro forma adjustments which are based upon
available information and certain assumptions that management of Zygo believes
are reasonable in the circumstances. Such pro forma adjustments reflect the
effects of (1) the exchange of each NexStar Common Share outstanding for .04
shares of a Zygo share and (2) conforming NexStar's adjusted financial
information to Zygo's basis of accounting.
