(4)      Earnings Per Share

         Earnings Per Share (EPS) is presented under two calculations, Basic and
Diluted. Basic EPS is computed by dividing income available to common
stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during
the period. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common
and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period, using the
treasury stock method. Options outstanding which were not included in the
determination of diluted EPS because they were antidilutive, were 44,141 and
27,800 as of June 27, 1999 and December 31, 1998 respectively.

(5)      Segment Reporting

         In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
SFAS No. 131 "Disclosures about Segments of Enterprise and Related Information"
which the Company has adopted for the year ended December 31, 1998. Segments are
defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information
is available and is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker in
deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company
operates as a single business segment called thermal processing capital
equipment.

         The thermal processing capital equipment segment consists of the
designing, manufacturing, selling and servicing thermal processing equipment and
related process controls for use in the electronics, power generation,
automotive and other industries. This business segment includes the supply of
solder reflow systems used for surface mount applications in printed circuit
board assembly. Thermal processing equipment is used in: low temperature
curing/encapsulation; hybrid integrated circuit manufacturing; integrated
circuit packaging and sealing; and processing multi-chip modules. In addition
the thermal process equipment is used for sintering nuclear fuel for commercial
power generation, as well as brazing and the sintering of ceramics and powdered
metals, and the deposition of precise thin film coatings. The business segment's
customers are multinational original equipment manufacturers and contract
manufacturing companies.

         The accounting policies of segment reporting are the same as those
described in Note 1 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the
Company's " 1998 Annual Report" The Company evaluates the performance of
operating results taken as a whole. Summarized financial information concerning
the thermal processing business segment is shown in the following table.

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         In the second quarter of 1999, net sales increased by $1.9 million to
$16.2 million, an increase of 13.2% when compared to the second quarter of 1998.
For the first six months of 1999, net sales increased by $5.7 million to $32.1
million, an increase of 21.4% over the comparable 1998 period. The increase in
sales in 1999 for both the second quarter and first six months as compared to
the same periods in 1998 reflects higher demand for our products, primarily by
our large multinational customers, in the electronics assembly industry. The
effect of price changes for specific products has not materially impacted the
change in net sales for the periods presented.

         In the second quarter and first six months of 1999 as compared to the
same periods in 1998, net sales to all geographic regions increased. When
comparing the second quarter and first six months of 1999 to the same periods in
1998 the geographic dispersion of net sales saw no significant change in
regional sales as a percentage of total sales.

         Gross profit increased by $0.7 million, or 12.7%, in the second quarter
of 1999, compared to the second quarter of 1998. Gross profit as a percent of
sales decreased for the second quarter of 1999 from 40.4% to 40.2% as compared
to the second quarter of 1998. For the first six months of 1999, gross profit
increased by $1.9 million or 17.7%, compared to the first half of 1998 but
decreased as a percentage of sales from 40.6% to 39.3%. The increase in gross
profit dollars for both the second quarter and first six months of 1999 was due
to the increase in revenues. The decrease in gross margin percentage for the
second quarter and year to date period was primarily the result of product mix.

         Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased in the
second quarter of 1999 by $0.4 million, or 10.0%, but decreased as a percentage
of net sales to 27.0% compared to 27.8% the second quarter of 1998. For the
first six months of 1999 SG&A expense increased by $1.1 million, or 13.8%, as
compared to the same period in 1998. As a percentage of net sales (SG&A)
expenses decreased for the first six months of 1999 to 27.1% from 28.9% for the
same period in 1998. The higher costs in 1999 are primarily the result of $1.9
million and $5.7 million increase in net sales for the second quarter and first
six months respectively. These increased net sales resulted in increased
customer support costs, for sales, marketing and service expenses to support our
expanding world wide customer base. These increases in costs were offset
partially by a lower overall commission percentage as the Company has increased
its direct sales in certain Asian territories.

         Research, development and engineering expenses in the second quarter of
1999 increased by $12,000 or 1.0%, as compared to the second quarter of 1998.
For the first six months of 1999, research, development and engineering expenses
decreased by $107,000, or 4.4%, as compared to the first six months of 1998. The
primary reason for the increase in the second quarter of 1999 and the decrease
for the first six months of 1999 were the timing of expenditure on new product
development. The Company is committed to continue investing in new technologies
and new product developments in order to support growing customer requirements

         Interest income in the second quarter and first six months of 1999
decreased by $25,000 or 26.6%, and $11,000 or 5.2% respectively, as compared to
the same periods in 1998.

         Interest expense decreased by $8,000, or 6.9%, for the second quarter
of 1999, and decreased by $10,000 or 4.4% for the first six months of 1999 as
compared to the same periods in 1998. The decreases were primarily due to the
decreasing principal balance of the mortgage note payable.

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                      AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)


         Income taxes increased in the second quarter of 1999 by $147,000 to
$257,000 when compared to the first quarter of 1998. For the first six months of
1999 income taxes increased by $406,000 to $494,000 when compared to the same
period in 1998. For both 1999 and 1998 the effective tax rate reflects the use
of net operating loss carryforwards available to the Company's U.K. subsidiary,
which was profitable in 1999 and 1998. During 1999 and 1998 the Company recorded
the benefit of these net operating losses utilized, resulting in the lower
effective tax rates. The Company has recorded an effective tax rate of 29.7% and
30.0% for the second quarter and first six months of 1999 respectively. These
compare to the Company's statutory Federal rate of 34%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company has an unsecured revolving line of credit with a bank,
which allows for the aggregate of borrowings and/or letters of credit of up to
$14,000,000. Borrowings are available to the Company at either the Bank's base
rate or a Eurodollar rate, as elected by the Company. This loan agreement is
available to the Company until April 30, 2002, and is subject to certain
financial covenants. No amounts were outstanding under this agreement as of June
27, 1999 or at any time in 1999 or 1998.

         The Company has a mortgage note, which is secured by its land and
building. The Mortgage note payable had an outstanding balance at June 27, 1999
of $5,203,000. The mortgage requires monthly payments of $53,922, including
interest at 8.125%. A final balloon payment of $3,825,000 is due at maturity on
July 1, 2004

         The Company expects its current cash position, ability to borrow
necessary funds, as well as cash flows from operations will be sufficient to
meet its corporate, operating and capital requirements into 2000.

Other matters

         The impact of inflation and the effect of foreign exchange rate changes
during 1999 has had an immaterial impact on the Company's business and financial
results.

RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS

         In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
("AICPA") issued Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of
Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use" ("SOP 98-1). SOP 98-1
requires computer software costs associated with internal use software to be
expensed as incurred until certain capitalization criteria are met. The Company
adopted this SOP on January 1, 1999; the adoption did not have a material impact
on the Company's financial statements.

         In April 1998, the AICPA issued Statement of Position 98-5, "Reporting
on the Costs of Start-Up Activities" (SOP 98-5). SOP 98-5 requires all costs
associated with pre-opening, pre-operating and organization activities to be
expensed as incurred. The Company adopted SOP 98-5 beginning January 1, 1999.
The adoption of SOP 98-5 did not have a material impact on the Company's
financial statements.

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                      AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Year 2000:
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Year 2000 (Y2K) issues are a result of some existing software and embedded
computer technology which use only two-digits vs. four-digits to identify the
year. Therefore, beginning in the year 2000, errors and failures may occur on
date sensitive systems because the computer devices will assume the year 1900.

The Company is actively pursuing Y2K compliance through a focused cross
functional Y2K implementation team, with a Y2K coordinator, working worldwide
with regular management reviews in three major fronts (see Customers, Internal,
Suppliers):

1.       CUSTOMERS

All products (software and controls) presently being sold by the Company are Y2K
compliant. The Company warrants products sold since 1998 to be Y2K compliant.
Costs associated with this warranty are expected to be small. For products sold
prior to 1998 on which there is no Y2K warranty, the Company has tested and
identified which of its software and controls products are not Y2K compliant.
These tests were performed using the industry standard SEMATECH YEAR 2000 Common
Testing Scenarios V2.0. Our testing indicates that our older equipment will
perform its basic functions beyond the 01/01/00 date, certain minor workarounds
may be required to reboot the furnace systems computer and certain functions
could be impaired due to date related software. The summary results of the tests
have been compiled in matrix form and published on the Company's worldwide web
site. This matrix and customer checklists provide our customers with the Y2K
tested status of all of BTU's software configurations; known Y2K issues and
workarounds; minimum hardware & software configurations to be Y2K compliant; and
Y2K upgrade kits availability. The Company believes it is well positioned to
satisfy its customers Y2K needs on BTU products.

Although the Company is addressing all known Y2K problems on its products before
the year 2000 and expects its efforts to be successful, given the uniqueness of
the risks and uncertainties related to the Y2K issue, there is no certainty that
the Company will be successful. Addressing these uncertainties, the Company has
identified and provided our customers with contingency plans and instructions on
"what to do" should a Y2K problem arise after the turn of the century. In many
instances a Y2K problem simply requires a shutdown and restart of the BTU
equipment or a rollback of the year on the date code. Beyond these approaches,
BTU is prepared to aid our customers in solving Y2K problems as they arise. We
will do this through BTU's experienced knowledge base, available through our 24
hour worldwide telephone hot line team and our extensive group of responsive
service engineers located in all geographical areas of the world.

2.       INTERNAL

The efficient operation of the Company's business is dependent in part on its
computer software, computer hardware and internal control systems. These systems
are used, to varying degrees, in all areas of the Company's business. The
Company's management and Y2K team have investigated and identified potential Y2K
compliance problems in all its internal systems, including computer software and
hardware; security, telephone and energy management systems; and manufacturing
and distribution equipment. To address certain Y2K issues, the Company has hired
expert consultants and relied on knowledgeable suppliers to solve certain
problems that are beyond the scope or capabilities of our internal resources.

The present status for internal Y2K compliance is that the assessment is
complete. The extent of the Y2K effort and incremental out of pocket costs have
been estimated to be approximately $350,000. The Y2K implementation plan is
ongoing with a completion date of September 30, 1999 for critical business
functions and November 30, 1999 for non-critical functions. Of the Y2K problem
areas identified, 100% have a definable solution; of these 72% are now in
compliance and the remaining 28% are at varying stages of working towards the
defined Y2K solution. The Company believes that all internal Y2K identified
problems are solvable and that the impact of Y2K compliance on the efficient
operation of the business will be minimal.

<PAGE>   13
           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                      AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)


Even with the extensive effort and commitment to identify and solve our internal
Y2K problems prior to the beginning of the new century, there is no certainty
that the Company will be totally free of Y2K problems next year. If an
unforeseen internal Y2K problem arises in the year 2000, the Company has
contingency plans, as part of its disaster recovery management system, to insure
the continued operation of the business with minimal disruption.

3.       SUPPLIERS

An important factor of BTU's success in addressing Y2K compliance problems is
the ability of our key suppliers to solve their Y2K issues. The Company's Y2K
team and the materials management group have communicated with all our suppliers
regarding their Y2K program status. To date 100% of our key suppliers have
responded with their Y2K implementation plans. 90% of the key suppliers are
presently Y2K compliant with the remainder scheduled to be Y2K compliant by
September 30, 1999. The Company's purchasing management is working with the
non-key suppliers to ensure Y2K compliance before December 31, 1999.

In reviewing the significant supplier Y2K problems, the Company's Y2K
coordinator believes that all Y2K supplier problems have known solutions that
are solvable within the required time frame. However given the uncertainties of
an event never before experienced, the Company's Material management group is
developing contingency plans to address the occurrence of Y2K related
disruptions to material receipts from key suppliers. An important element of the
solution to the failure of a key supplier to deliver product is our strategy to
quickly shift to an alternative supplier and thereby minimize the impact to the
Company and our customers.

In each of the three significant fronts outlined above, the Company is leading
and managing its readiness for Y2K compliance. We expect to address our Y2K
problems within the fixed time frame and at costs that will not materially
impact the financial results of the Company. However given the risks and
uncertainties associated with the uniqueness of the Y2K issues that are outside
the Company's control, the Company is unable to guarantee that there will not be
Y2K problems. Therefore, Y2K costs and delays beyond the scope detailed above
could materially impact our ability to service our customers and the Company's
financial performance.
