                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of ADE Corporation

     In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheet and related statements of
income and retained earnings and of cash flows present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Phase Shift Technology, Inc. at April 30,
1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements are the responsibility of PST's management; our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit of these statements in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards which 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, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

        PST considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. PST invests its excess
cash in money market accounts. These investments are subject to minimal credit
and market risks. At April 30, 1998 PST has classified its cash equivalent
investments, totaling $4,001,000, as available for sale. The carrying amount of
these investments approximates fair market value.

  Inventories

        Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, cost being
determined on a first-in, first-out basis.

  Fixed Assets

        Fixed assets are stated at cost. Additions and betterments, unless of a
relatively minor amount, are capitalized. Expenditures for normal maintenance
and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is provided by use
of the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

        Concentrations

        Credit Risk

        Financial instruments which potentially expose PST to concentration of
credit risk include cash, cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. A
significant amount of PST's cash and cash equivalents are held by one financial
institution. Cash accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation up to $100,000. PST does not believe that its cash and cash
equivalent deposits are subject to any unusual credit risk associated with
operating its business.

        Accounts receivable from three customers accounted for approximately 57%
of total accounts receivable at April 30, 1998. PST performs ongoing credit
evaluations of customers' financial condition, requires cash deposits from
customers upon receipt of a sales order and has used letters of credit from
financial institutions to secure payments, although it generally does not
require collateral. PST maintains reserves for potential credit losses and such
losses, in aggregate, have not exceeded management expectations.

        Suppliers

        Certain of the components and subassemblies incorporated into PSTs
systems are obtained from a single source or a limited group of suppliers. PST
seeks to reduce the impact from its dependence on those sole and limited source
suppliers by considering alternate sources of supply, alternate designs for its
products and by

maintaining an adequate supply of the components and subassemblies. However, the
loss of one or more of the sole or limited suppliers could cause a delay in
manufacturing and a potential loss of sales, which could adversely affect
operating results.

        Financial Instruments

        The carrying amount of PST's financial instruments, which include cash,
cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and
customer deposits, approximates their fair value at April 30, 1998.

        Earnings Per Share

        In fiscal 1998, PST adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 128 (SFAS No. 128), Earnings Per Share, which establishes standards for
computing and presenting earnings per share. The new standard replaces the
presentation of earnings per share as prescribed in Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 15, Earnings Per Share, with a presentation of basic and diluted
earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic earnings
per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted
earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding and gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares
outstanding during the period. PST did not have any dilutive potential common
shares outstanding during the year ended April 30, 1998.

        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 amount of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingencies at April 30, 1998 and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the year then ended. Areas particularly subject to
estimation include the allowance for doubtful accounts and the reserve for
potential excess and obsolete inventory. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

        New Accounting Pronouncements

        In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued
SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." The statement establishes
standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
components. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a
business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and
circumstances from non-owner sources. It includes all changes in equity during a
period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to
owners. This standard will require that an enterprise display an amount
representing total comprehensive income for the period. SFAS No. 130 will be
effective for PST's fiscal year ending April 30, 1999. SFAS No. 130 requires
disclosure only and will have no impact on PST's financial position or results
of operations.

10.  Subsequent Event

        On June 11, 1998, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the PST
Agreement), PST merged with ADE Corporation (ADE), a Massachusetts corporation.
ADE designs, manufactures, markets and services highly precise, automated
measurement, defect detection and handling equipment with current applications
in the production of semiconductor wafers, integrated circuits and computer disk
drives. Pursuant to the PST Agreement, each outstanding share of PSTs common
stock was exchanged for two shares of ADEs common stock. A total of 2,000,000
shares of ADEs common stock were issued in this transaction. This transaction
has been accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. Accordingly, upon issuance of
financial statements inclusive of the date of merger, all prior period financial
statements will be restated as if the merger occurred at the beginning of such
periods. There were no material transactions between PST and ADE prior to the
PST Agreement.

        Separate results of operations for the period prior to the merger for
ADE and PST were as follows:

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

        The following unuaudited pro forma combined condensed financial
statements have been prepared to give effect to the merger between a
wholly-owned subsidiary of ADE Corporation (ADE) and Phase Shift Technology,
Inc. (PST) (the Merger), using the pooling of interests method of accounting.
Pursuant to the Merger, each outstanding share of PSTs common stock was
exchanged for two shares of ADEs common stock. A total of 2,000,000 shares of
ADEs common stock were issued in this transaction.

        The unaudited proforma combined condensed balance sheet as of April 30,
1998 gives effect to the merger as if it had occurred on April 30,1998 and
combines the audited consolidated balance sheet of ADE and the audited balance
sheet of PST as of April 30, 1998. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed
statements of income combine the audited historical consolidated statement of
income of ADE and the historical statement of income of PST for the year ended
April 30, 1998 and the audited historical consolidated statements of income of
ADE and unaudited historical statements of income of PST for the two years ended
April 30, 1997 as if the merger had occurred at the beginning of the earliest
period presented.

        The unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements are
presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of
the financial position or results of operations which would have actually been
reported had the acquisition been consummated at the beginning of the periods
presented, or which may be reported in the future. The unaudited proforma
combined condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
historical consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of ADE included
in PSTs Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1998.

1. Pro Forma Earnings Per Share

         The unaudited pro forma combined basic and diluted earnings per share
amounts are based upon the weighted average number of common shares and
potentially dilutive common shares outstanding of ADE and PST for each period,
using an exchange ratio of two shares of ADE common stock for each share of PST
common stock.

2. Conforming Adjustments, Intercompany Transactions and Transaction Costs

         There are no material intercompany transactions included in the
unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements. There were no
material adjustments required to conform the accounting policies of ADE and PST.
Total costs associated with the merger were not material.
