         prepared in accordance with the regulations of the Securities and
         Exchange Commission but omit certain information and footnote
         disclosures necessary to present the statements in accordance with
         generally accepted accounting principles. The results of operations for
         the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the
         results to be expected for the full fiscal year. These consolidated
         condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
         Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes thereto included in the
         Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August

         The Company realized a tax benefit from the exercise of stock options 
         of $213,486 and $70,280 in the first nine months of fiscal 1998 and 
         1997, respectively.

(4)      RECONCILIATION OF EARNINGS AND SHARE AMOUNTS USED IN EPS CALCULATION

         The Company adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share" during the
         quarter ended February 28, 1998. Basic earnings per common share were
         computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of
         shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings
         per common share for the quarter and nine months ended May 30, 1998 and
         May 31, 1997 were calculated using the treasury stock method to compute
         the weighted average common stock outstanding assuming the conversion
         of dilutive common stock equivalents. As a result the Company's
         reported earnings per share for prior periods were restated. There was
         no material impact on reported earnings per share (EPS) data when
         compared to basic and diluted earnings per share calculated under the
         provisions of SFAS No. 128 for the quarter and nine months ended May
         31, 1997.

ITEM 2.

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

THIRD QUARTER AND FIRST NINE MONTHS  OF FISCAL 1998 COMPARED WITH THE THIRD 
QUARTER AND FIRST NINE MONTHS OF FISCAL 1997

The information in this discussion, except for the historical information
contained herein, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is subject
to the safe harbor created by that statute. Such statements are subject to
various risks and uncertainties. Actual results may be materially different from
these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to
differ include general economic conditions including the current economic and
financial conditions in Asia, particularly Korea and Japan; the demand and price
for semiconductors; the level of new orders and order delays or cancellations;
competitive pricing pressures; the timing and success of current and future
product and process development programs; the success of the company's
affiliated distributors; and the timing and extent of any industry up- or down-
turn. In addition, readers are also directed to the Risk Factors discussion
found below under "Risk Factors" and in the Company's Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended August 30, 1997 and the Company's Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarters ended November 29, 1997 and February 28, 1998. Readers also are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements as
actual results could differ materially. The Company assumes no obligation to
publicly release any revisions or updates to these forward-looking statements to
reflect future events or unanticipated occurrences. Such forward-looking
statements are marked with an asterisk (*).

Industry conditions continue to be dominated by uncertainty. Semiconductor
device manufacturers continue to reduce or delay their capital spending
particularly in Korea and Japan. Weak DRAM prices, driven by excess capacity,
combined with financing difficulties and economic conditions in Asia have caused
many microelectronic manufacturers to reduce capital spending. The Asian
financial crisis has now impacted consumer spending in the region and customers
there continue to have difficulty in finding funding for any significant capital
spending.

As a result of current industry conditions, the Company is realigning its
business to reflect expected lower revenues. The Company will be implementing
cost reduction measures including an involuntary reduction in force and the
delay or cancellation of certain programs.* It is the Company's goal to reduce
fiscal 1999 expenses by 10 to 15 percent as compared to fiscal 1998.* The
realignment will result in a one-time charge in the fourth quarter of a
currently undetermined amount.*

</TABLE>

Sales increased to $55.8 million for the third quarter ended May 30, 1998 as
compared to $51.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 1997. Sales for the
nine months ended May 30, 1998 increased $1.6 million to $180.2 million as
compared to $178.5 million for the first nine months of fiscal 1997. Sales
increases for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 1998 as compared
to the 1997 periods were due to increases in the Microlithography and Surface
Conditioning product lines offset by decreases in the Chemical Management
product line.

International sales were $23.8 million and $19.0 million for the third quarter
of fiscal 1998 and 1997, respectively, and represented approximately 42.6% and
37.0% of sales during these periods. International sales were $72.2 million and
$67.2 million for the first nine months of fiscal 1998 and 1997, respectively,
and represented 40.1% and 37.6% of sales during these periods. International
sales were approximately 36% of total sales for fiscal 1997. The increase in
international sales in the third quarter and the first nine months of fiscal
1998 as a percentage of sales as compared to the third quarter and the first
nine months of fiscal 1997 occurred in Europe.

The continued weakness in DRAM prices, driven by excess capacity, combined with
the financing difficulties and economic turbulence in Asia are causing the
Company's customers to be cautious about capital spending. As a result, the
Company has seen an increase in the delay or cancellation of customer orders. In
addition, some customers are contracting out device manufacturing instead of
adding capacity to their own operations. Given the uncertainty in the industry,
the Company could continue to see delays or cancellations of orders in the
future.* The Company believes, with the current softness in the industry and the
overall uncertainty in the market place, that 1998 fourth quarter sales will be
significantly lower than the third quarter level and that the annual sales 
level for fiscal 1999 could be down 10 to 15 percent from the anticipated 1998 
level.*

</TABLE>

Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the third quarters of fiscal 1998 and
1997 was 38.3%. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the first nine months
of fiscal 1998 and 1997 was 37.9%. The flat gross profit margins for the third
quarter and the first nine months of fiscal 1998 continued to be impacted by low
manufacturing capacity utilization, reflecting lower than expected revenues and
increased inventory obsolescence reserves.

The Company's gross profit margin fluctuates as a result of a number of factors,
including the mix of products sold, the proportion of international sales, OEM
systems content, competitive pricing pressures and the utilization of
manufacturing capacity. There will be additional pressure on gross profit
margins as a result of foreign currency exchange rates in Asia and general
industry conditions.*

</TABLE>

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $14.9 million and $14.4
million or 26.8% and 28.0% of sales during the third quarter of fiscal 1998 and
1997, respectively. For the first nine months of fiscal 1998 and 1997, SG&A
expenses were $46.7 million and $39.9 million or 25.9% and 22.3% of sales,
respectively. SG&A expenses were higher in the first nine months of fiscal 1998
as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 1997 primarily due to one-time
charges of approximately $2 million related to organizational changes announced
in December 1997 and the settlement of a patent infringement lawsuit.

<PAGE>   12

In addition, the increase in the amount of SG&A expenses in the third quarter
and the first nine months of fiscal 1998 was also due to increased costs
associated with the new business system, year 2000 programs and overall
infrastructure costs as compared to the 1997 periods.

</TABLE>

Research and development expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 1998 were
$10.5 million, or 18.8% of sales, as compared to $10.8 million, or 21.0% of
sales, for the third quarter of fiscal 1997. For the first nine months of fiscal
1998, research and development expenses were $32.4 million or 18.0% of sales as
compared to $29.4 million or 16.5% for the first nine months of fiscal 1997. The
increase in the amount of R&D expenses for the first nine months resulted from
continued product and process development efforts on new and existing products,
including 300-mm development programs for the EXCALIBUR(R), ARIES(TM)
CryoKinetic(TM) cleaning systems, the ZETA(TM) automated surface conditioning
system, the new POLARIS(R) cluster models and certain new chemical management
products. The Company is also investing in the new ANTARES(TM) platform for
single wafer cleaning products along with 0.25 and 0.18 micron process
development programs. The successful introduction of new products is important
to the long-term growth of the Company.* Overall, the Company's goal is to
invest approximately 13% to 15% of sales in research and development, and
process development programs.*

OPERATING LOSS

Operating loss for the third quarter of fiscal 1998 was $4.0 million as compared
to $5.5 million for the third quarter of fiscal 1997. The lower third quarter
loss in 1998 was due to higher revenues in fiscal 1998 third quarter as compared
to fiscal 1997 third quarter.

Operating loss for the first nine months of fiscal 1998 was $10.8 million as
compared to $1.5 million for the first nine months of fiscal 1997. The larger
loss in 1998 was primarily due to increased SG&A and R&D expenses. As fourth
quarter sales are expected to be significantly below third quarter sales, an 
operating loss is expected.*  Due to the expected lower revenues in fiscal 1999,
it is anticipated that the Company's fiscal 1999 operating losses will be $8 
to $10 million after the implementation of the cost reduction actions.*

Other income (expense), net was approximately $505,000 and $1.3 million,
respectively, of income for the third quarter and the first nine months of
fiscal 1998 as compared to $383,000 and $1.9 million, respectively, of income
for the third quarter and the first nine months of fiscal 1997. The increase in
the third quarter of fiscal 1998 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 1997
is due to a lease write-off in 1997 for a Dallas facility. The decrease for the
first nine months of fiscal 1998 as compared to the first nine months of fiscal
1997 is due to increased interest expense related to the $42.0 million private
placement debt completed in December 1996.

</TABLE>

The equity in earnings of affiliates was $144,000 for the third quarter of
fiscal 1998, compared to earnings of $1.1 million for the third quarter of
fiscal 1997. For the first nine months of fiscal 1998, equity in earnings of
affiliates was $567,000 compared to $2.9 million for the first nine months of
fiscal 1997. The decrease is due to lower earnings at both of the Company's
affiliates (Metron Technology B.V. and m-FSI Ltd.) due to current industry
conditions.  Equity in earnings of affiliates will continue to be under 
pressure by the overall softness in the industry.*

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities approximated
$89.1 million as of May 30, 1998, a decrease of $107,000 from the end of fiscal
year 1997. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities
is a result of cash flow provided by operations of approximately $1.0 million
and $2.3 million in proceeds from common stock issuances being offset primarily
by acquisitions of property, plant and equipment of $4.3 million.

The Company's accounts receivable decreased 8.9%, or approximately $5.7 million
to $58.6 million at May 30, 1998 as compared to $64.3 million at the end of
fiscal 1997. The decrease in accounts receivable is due to concentrated
collection efforts by the divisions and sales management. The Company does not
believe it has any significant collection exposure from Asia.*

The Company's inventory increased approximately $3.2 million to $65.2 million at
May 30, 1998 compared to $62.0 million at the end of fiscal 1997. This was
mainly due to increased levels of raw materials and purchased parts. The Company
had anticipated higher order levels in the first nine months of fiscal 1998 than
what was achieved which resulted in higher inventory levels. As of May 30, 1998,
the Company's current ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 3.8 to
1.0 and working capital was $175.5 million.

The Company had acquisitions of property, plant and equipment of approximately
$4.3 million and $34.2 million for the first nine months of fiscal 1998 and
fiscal 1997, respectively. It is anticipated the Company will invest less than
$10.0 million in fiscal 1998 in property, plant and equipment.*

The Company believes that with existing cash and cash equivalents, marketable
securities and internally generated funds, there will be sufficient funds to
meet the Company's current projected working capital and other cash requirements
through at least fiscal 1999.* It is the Company's goal for fiscal 1999 to
generate positive cash flow from operations.*


                                       13

The Company believes that success in its industry requires substantial capital
to maintain the flexibility to take advantage of opportunities as they may
arise. The Company may, from time to time, as market and business conditions
warrant, invest in or acquire complementary businesses, products or
technologies.* The Company may fund such activities with additional equity or
debt financings.* The sale of additional equity or debt securities could result
in additional dilution to the Company's shareholders.*

The Company is continuing to address the "Year 2000" computer problem. See "Risk
Factors - Year 2000" below.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 128, Earnings Per Share, which simplifies the standards for computing
earnings per share previously found in Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB)
No. 15. SFAS No. 128 replaces the presentation of primary earnings per share
with a presentation of basic earnings per share, which excludes dilution. SFAS
No. 128 also requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share
on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital
structures, and requires a reconciliation. Diluted earnings per share is
computed similarly to fully diluted earnings per share pursuant to APB No. 15.
SFAS No. 128 must be adopted for financial statements issued for periods ending
after December 15, 1997, including interim periods; earlier application is not
permitted. SFAS No. 128 requires restatement of all prior-period
earnings-per-share data presented. The company implemented SFAS No. 128 during
the second quarter of fiscal 1998. This implementation of SFAS No. 128 did not
have a material impact on the Company's financial statement disclosures.

In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 129, Disclosure of Information about
Capital Structures, which was implemented by the Company in the first quarter of
fiscal 1998. SFAS No. 129 requires companies to disclose certain information
about their capital structure. The disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 129 did
not have an impact on the Company's financial statement disclosures.

In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No., 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income,
which establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive
income and its components (revenue, expenses, gains, and losses) in a full set
of general-purpose financial statements. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 130 in
fiscal year 1999.

In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, Disclosure about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information, which changes the way public companies
report information about operating segments. SFAS No. 131, which is based on the
management approach to segment reporting, establishes requirements to report
selected segment information quarterly and to report entity-wide disclosures
about products and services, major customers, and the material countries in
which the entity holds assets and reports revenue. Management has not yet
evaluated the effects of this change on its reporting of segment information.
The Company will adopt SFAS No. 131 in fiscal 1999.

In March, 1998, the FASB issued SOP 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer
Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use" which establishes the
appropriate accounting for all costs related to software developed or obtained
for internal use. The Company adopted SOP 98-1 in fiscal 1998.

RISK FACTORS

Due to the nature of the business and industry in which the Company operates,
the following risk factors should be considered in addition to others described
or referenced to above.

CYCLICALITY AND VOLATILITY IN THE MICROELECTRONICS INDUSTRY:

The Company's business depends upon the capital equipment expenditures of
microelectronics manufacturers, which in turn depend on the current and
anticipated market demand for semiconductor devices and products utilizing
semiconductor devices. The microelectronics industry has been cyclical in nature
and historically experienced periodic downturns. The industry is currently
experiencing a downturn and it is unclear at this point in time as to how 



                                       14
<PAGE>   15

long this downturn may last. Certain semiconductor device manufacturers have
experienced slowdowns in terms of product demand and volatility in terms of
product pricing. Industry slowdowns and volatility have caused semiconductor
device manufacturers to reduce their demand for semiconductor processing
equipment and in some instances, to delay or cancel capital equipment decisions.
In some cases this has resulted in order delays and order cancellations or
delays of delivery dates for the Company's products. No assurance can be given
that the Company's sales and operating results will not continue to be adversely
affected during the current slowdown or will not be adversely affected by future
slowdowns in the semiconductor industry.

In addition, the need for continued investments in research and development,
substantial capital equipment requirements and extensive ongoing worldwide
customer service and support capability will limit the Company's ability to
reduce expenses. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the Company will be
able to achieve or maintain profitability in the future.

RISK OF DELAYS IN INTRODUCING NEW PRODUCTS AND THE MARKET'S ACCEPTANCE OF SUCH
PRODUCTS:

Microelectronics manufacturing equipment and processes are subject to rapid
technological change and new product introductions, as well as evolving industry
standards. The Company believes microelectronics manufacturers are increasingly
relying on equipment manufacturers to design and develop more efficient
equipment, to design and implement improved processes for the benefit of
microelectronics manufacturers and to integrate their equipment with that of
other equipment manufacturers. The Company must continue to develop, manufacture
and market new products which conform to evolving industry standards and that
require a significant commitment of resources and capital. The success of the
Company in developing, introducing and selling new and enhanced equipment
depends upon a variety of factors including product selection, timely and
efficient completion of product design and development, timely and efficient
implementation of manufacturing and assembly processes, product performance in
the field, and effective sales, marketing and post sales support. The Company
must also manage product transitions successfully, as introductions of new
products could adversely affect the sales of existing products. The Company's
failure to develop and successfully introduce new products or enhancements to
its existing products and processes or achieve market acceptance of the new
products or enhancements could adversely affect the Company's business and
results of operations.

NEW FACILITIES AND RELATED INFRASTRUCTURE COSTS:

The Company added manufacturing capacity with new facilities during fiscal 1997.
This additional manufacturing capacity is having a negative impact on gross
profit margins due to the lower revenue levels. These additional facilities and
related infrastructure costs also increase the overall operating expenses of the
Company. The potential impact of idle manufacturing capacity on gross margins
and related infrastructure costs could also have an adverse impact on the
Company's future financial results.

VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE:

The Company's common stock has experienced in the past, and could experience in
the future, substantial price volatility as a result of a number of factors,
including quarter-to-quarter variations in the actual or anticipated financial
results of the Company, announcements by the Company, its competitors or
customers, government regulations and developments in the industry. In addition,
the stock market has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations which
have affected the market price of many technology companies in particular and
which have at times been unrelated to the operating performance of the specific
companies whose stock is traded. Broad market fluctuations, as well as economic
conditions generally and, in the microelectronics industry specifically, may
adversely affect the market price of the Company's common stock.

FLUCTUATIONS IN QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS:

The Company's operating results have in the past been, and may continue to be,
subject to quarterly fluctuations due to a number of factors. FSI may experience
significant fluctuations in its quarterly sales, gross profits, operating



                                       15
<PAGE>   16

results, and net income. Factors which may influence FSI's operating results in
a given quarter include specific economic conditions in the microelectronics
industry, the financial results of FSI's affiliates, the timing of the receipt
of orders from major customers, the mix of products sold by FSI, competitive
pricing pressures, the proportion of international sales, product modifications
requested by customers, utilization of manufacturing capacity, and production
ability. During a specific quarter, a significant portion of the Company's
revenue may be derived from the sale of a relatively small number of systems.
Accordingly, a small change in the numbers of such systems sold in a quarter may
cause significant changes in operating results. Moreover, customers may cancel
or reschedule shipments, and parts availability could delay shipments. These
factors also could significantly affect annual results of operations.

SUCCESS OF COMPANY'S AFFILIATED DISTRIBUTORS:

The majority of the Company's international sales are made through its
affiliated distributors, Metron Technology B.V., and m*FSI Ltd. These affiliated
distributors also provide service and support to many of the Company's
international customers. The affiliated distributors also sell other principals'
products. A reduction in the sales efforts or financial viability of such
distributors or a loss of a significant principal by a distributor could affect
the Company's results of operations.

LITIGATION:

The Company recently settled a patent infringement lawsuit. The Company could
become involved in additional litigation in the future. There can be no
assurance about the outcome of any future litigation or patent infringement
inquiries and whether they will adversely impact the Company's business or
results of operations. (See Item 3).

HIGHLY COMPETITIVE INDUSTRY:

The microelectronics processing equipment industry is highly competitive. The
Company faces substantial competition throughout the world. The Company believes
that to remain competitive, it will require significant financial resources to
offer a broad range of products, to maintain customer service and support
centers worldwide, and to invest in product and process research and
development. There can be no assurance that financial resources with favorable
terms would be available when required. The Company believes that the
microelectronics industry is becoming increasingly dominated by large
manufacturers who have the resources to support customers on a worldwide basis.
Certain of the Company's competitors have substantially greater financial,
marketing, and customer service and support capabilities than the Company. There
is the possibility of large equipment companies entering the market areas in
which the Company competes. In addition, there are smaller emerging
microelectronics equipment companies that provide innovative technology. The
Company expects its competitors to continue to improve the design and
performance of their current products and processes and to introduce new
products and processes with improved price and performance characteristics. No
assurance can be given that the Company will continue to compete successfully in
the United States or elsewhere.

DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL:

The Company's success depends to a significant extent upon management and
technical personnel. The loss of the services of several or more of these key
persons could have an adverse effect on the Company's operations. Competition
for such personnel in the Company's industry in all geographic locations is
high. There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to be successful
in attracting and retaining the personnel it requires to continue to grow and
operate profitably.

INDUSTRY CONSOLIDATION:

There has been a trend toward industry consolidation for several years. During
fiscal 1997, the Company saw this trend continue with the completion of two
large industry mergers. The Company expects this trend toward industry
consolidation to continue as companies attempt to strengthen or hold their
market positions in a rapidly changing industry. The Company believes that the
industry consolidation may result in competitors that are better able to



                                       16
<PAGE>   17

compete. This could have a material adverse affect on the Company's business
operating results and financial condition.

VOLATILITY OF GLOBAL MARKETS:

The Company and its affiliates operate in a global market. Global operations are
subject to risks, including political and economic instability, general economic
conditions, imposition of government controls, fluctuations of exchange rates,
the need to comply with a wide variety of foreign and United States export laws,
trade restrictions and the greater difficulty of administering business
overseas. Although substantially all the Company's direct international sales
are denominated in United States dollars, both direct sales by the Company and
sales through it affiliated international distributors may be affected by these
factors and thus may adversely affect the operations and financial results of
the Company.

Recently the South East Asian currency crisis and the impact the crisis has had
upon the capital markets has resulted in lowered expectations for the
semiconductor capital industry. Due to the uncertainty in the South East Asia
region, the Company has seen a recent slowdown in the industry. Anticipated
sales levels are at risk if industry conditions continue to deteriorate and
confidence in the Asian markets is not restored.

YEAR 2000:

The Company is addressing the issue associated with the programming code in
existing computer systems as the millennium (year 2000) approaches The "year
2000" problem is pervasive and complex as virtually every computer operation
will be affected in some way. The Company is aware of the computing difficulties
that the millennium issue presents for the year 2000.

The Company is utilizing both internal and external resources to identify,
correct or reprogram, and test its systems for year 2000 compliance. It is
anticipated that all reprogramming efforts will be complete by December 31,
1998, allowing adequate time for testing.* To date, confirmations have been
received from some of the Company's vendors that plans are being developed to
address processing of transactions in the year 2000. It is anticipated the
Company will incur at least $850,000 to address the year 2000 problem during
fiscal 1998 and $800,000 in fiscal 1999.* However, unexpected delays, the
availability of resources as well as coding issues may impact the Company's
ability to complete the reprogramming by December 31, 1998 and the amounts that
will be incurred. The year 2000 problem creates risk for the Company from
unforeseen problems in its own computer systems and from the Company's vendors.
The failures of the Company's or its vendor's computer systems could have a
material impact on the Company's operations.

PART II.OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

        During the second quarter of fiscal 1996, Eric C. and Angie L. Hsu (the
        "plaintiffs") filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of California,
        County of Alameda, Southern Division, against Semiconductors Systems,
        Inc. ("Semiconductor Systems"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company
        that was acquired in April 1996, and the former shareholders of
        Semiconductor Systems. In the fall of 1995, pursuant to the Employee
        Stock Purchase and Shareholder Agreement dated November 30, 1990 between
        Mr. Hsu and Semiconductor Systems (the "Shareholder Agreement") and in
        connection with Mr. Hsu's termination of his employment with
        Semiconductor Systems in August 1995, the former shareholders of
        Semiconductor Systems purchased the shares of Semiconductor Systems
        common stock then held by Mr. Hsu. The plaintiffs are claiming, among
        other things, that such purchase breached the Shareholder Agreement and
        violated the California Corporations Code, breached the fiduciary duty
        owed plaintiffs by the individual defendants and constituted fraud. The
        plaintiffs are seeking, among other things, damages in an amount to be
        proven at trial, punitive damages, attorneys' fees and a constructive
        trust over the shares held in the escrow mentioned below.

        Discovery has been completed. Trial was originally scheduled to begin in
        May of this year. Prior to that time each party had brought a summary
        judgment motion. After hearing the motion arguments, the law and motion
        judge in April 1998 denied both parties' motions on the contract claims
        but stated Semiconductor Systems had breached the terms of the
        Shareholder Agreement in that only Semiconductor Systems and not its
        shareholders could repurchase Mr. Hsu's shares but that the issue of
        damages was an issue of fact for a jury. Defendants promptly sought
        appellate review of the law and motion judge's position and the trial
        has been rescheduled for November 1998. That review is still pending.

        The Company, on behalf of Semiconductor Systems, has made a claim with
        respect to the lawsuit under the escrow created at the time of the
        Company's acquisition of Semiconductor Systems. The escrow was
        established to secure certain indemnification obligations of the former
        shareholders of Semiconductor Systems. In addition to the escrow, the
        former shareholders have agreed to hold the Company and Semiconductor
        Systems harmless from any claim arising out of any securities
        transactions between the shareholders or former shareholders of
        Semiconductor Systems and Semiconductor Systems. The escrow consists of
        an aggregate of 250,000 shares of Company Common Stock paid to the
        former shareholders of Semiconductor Systems as consideration in the
        acquisition.

        On March 31, 1998, Industrial Risk Insurers (IRI) commenced a lawsuit
        against FSI International, Inc. ("FSI") in California Superior Court in
        Santa Clara County. The lawsuit relates to an incident in November 1994
        involving FSI's equipment at a customer site in which hydrochloric acid
        was released into the customer's facility and caused damage to the
        customer's personal property and interrupted its business operations.

        Following the incident the customer commenced suit against its insurance
        company to recover costs associated with the business interruption and
        property damage. That lawsuit was ultimately settled for $2.75M. IRI on
        behalf of the customer's insurance companies has commenced a subrogation
        action against FSI seeking reimbursement of the $2.75M settlement plus
        interest.

        FSI has previously tendered defense of this matter to its commercial
        general liability and excess umbrella liability insurance company. The
        insurance company has assumed defense and indemnification of FSI under
        the commercial general liability policy but has denied coverage



                                       18
<PAGE>   19

        under the excess/umbrella policy. FSI is contesting with the insurance
        company its determination that there is no coverage or obligation to
        defend FSI under the excess umbrella policy.

        The lawsuit is in the very preliminary stages and no discovery has been
        conducted to date. FSI is investigating the matter, believes it may have
        or has meritorious defenses and intends to contest the litigation.

ITEM 2. CHANGE IN SECURITIES

        The Company filed a Form 8-A/A-1 with the Securities and Exchange
        Commission on April 16, 1998 to report a change in the terms of the
        Company's Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock. The description
        of such change contained in the Form 8-A/A-1 is hereby incorporated by
        reference.
