                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
TMT, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of TMT, Inc. (the Company) as of
October 31, 1999, and the related statements of income, shareholders' equity,
and cash flows for the year then ended. 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 audit.

We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of TMT, Inc. as of October 31,
1999, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                          Notes to Financial Statements
                       October 31, 1999 and April 30, 2000

    (Information for the six month period ended April 30, 2000 is unaudited)




(1) BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    (A) BUSINESS

        TMT, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in California in January 1995.
        The Company is involved in the design and manufacture of linear and
        mixed signal and RF test systems for high volume, production testing of
        analog integrated circuits. These test systems are marketed through
        direct sales and a network of distributors throughout the United States.

    (B) CASH EQUIVALENTS

        The Company considers all highly liquid investments with purchased
        maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents
        consist of money market funds in the amount of $2,016,000 as of October
        31, 1999.

    (C) CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

        Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a
        concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash
        equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company maintains all of
        its cash and cash equivalents with a nationally recognized financial
        institution. Cash equivalents are comprised of money market funds. The
        Company's products are primarily sold to customers in the semiconductor
        manufacturing industry who are located in North America, Europe, and the
        Pacific Rim. The Company performs credit evaluation of its customers and
        generally does not require collateral on accounts receivable, as the
        Company's customers are large, well-established companies. The Company
        maintains reserves for potential credit losses, but historically has not
        experienced any significant losses. Management believes the financial
        risks associated with these financial instruments are minimal.

    (D) INVENTORIES

        Inventories are stated at the lower of first-in, first-out cost or
        market.

    (E) PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

        Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the
        straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the asset.
        Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of their useful
        lives or the remaining term of the related lease. The estimated useful
        lives are presented below:

           Machinery and equipment        3 - 5 years

           Furniture and Fixtures         7 years

           Leasehold improvements         Lease term

    (F) REVENUE RECOGNITION

        Revenue is generally recognized when products are shipped and when there
        is no significant uncertainty regarding customer acceptance or payment.
        Maintenance and support contract revenue is recognized ratably over the
        maintenance and support period. Service revenue is recognized as the
        services are performed.

    (G) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

        The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable
        and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short term
        nature of these instruments. The carrying amount of the notes payable
        approximate fair value as the notes bear interest based on the market
        rates currently available for debt with similar terms.

    (H) SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS

        In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
        No. 86, ACCOUNTING FOR THE COSTS OF COMPUTER SOFTWARE TO BE SOLD,
        LEASED, OR OTHERWISE MARKETED, development costs related to software
        products are expensed as incurred until the technological feasibility of
        the product has been established. Technological feasibility in the
        Company's circumstances occurs when a working model is completed. The
        Company believes its process for developing software is essentially
        completed concurrent with the establishment of technological
        feasibility, and, accordingly, no research and development costs have
        been capitalized to date.

    (I) WARRANTY

        The Company provides for estimated warranty costs at the time of sale.

    (J) INCOME TAXES

        Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method.
        Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
        consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
        carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective
        taxes bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred
        tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected
        to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
        differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on
        deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is
        recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

    (K) IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

        The Company reviews, as circumstances dictate, the carrying amount of
        its long-lived assets. The purpose of these reviews is to determine
        whether the carrying amounts are recoverable. Recoverability is
        determined by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows for
        the long-lived assets against their respective carrying amounts. The
        amount of impairment, if any, is measured based upon the excess of the
        carrying value over the fair value. The Company has not recorded any
        impairment related to its long-lived assets.

    (L) STOCK OPTION PLANS

        The Company applies Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25,
        ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED TO EMPLOYEES, and related interpretations in
        accounting for its stock option plans. As such, the Company accounts for
        options granted to employees using the intrinsic value method and
        compensation expense is recorded if on the date of grant the current
        market price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price.

    (M) COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

        The Company had no items of other comprehensive income for the year
        ended October 31, 1999.

    (N) NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

        In June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
        SFAS No. 137, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING
        ACTIVITIES - DEFERRAL OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 133,
        which amends the effective date of SFAS No. 133,

                                       9
<PAGE>

        ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES. SFAS No.
        133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
        financial instruments and hedging activities, and requires the Company
        to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the
        balance sheet at fair value. Gains and losses resulting from changes in
        fair value would be accounted for based on the use of the derivative and
        whether it is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting. The Company
        must adopt SFAS No. 133 by the quarter ended January 31, 2001.
        Management does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 133 will have a
        material effect on the financial position, results of operations, or
        cash flows of the Company.

        In March 2000, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for
        Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation, an interpretation of
        APB Opinion No. 25. This Interpretation clarifies the application of
        Opinion 25 for certain issues including: (a) the definition of employee
        for purposes of applying Opinion 25, (b) the criteria for determining
        whether a plan qualifies as a noncompensatory plan, (c) the accounting
        consequence of various modifications to the terms of previously fixed
        stock options or awards, and (d) the accounting for an exchange of stock
        compensation awards in a business combination. In general, this
        Interpretation is effective July 1, 2000. The Company has not determined
        whether the adoption of Interpretation No. 44 will have a material
        effect on its financial position or results of operations.

    (O) 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.

    (P) INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

        The accompanying unaudited financial statements as of April 30, 2000 and
        for the six month period then ended have been prepared on substantially
        the same basis as the audited financial statements, and include all
        adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which
        management believes are necessary for a fair presentation of the
        financial information set forth herein.

    customers for evaluation. The Company depreciates demonstration equipment on
    a straight-line basis over a period of three years. As of October 31, 1999
    and April 30, 2000, accumulated depreciation was $270,000 and $537,000,

(4) INVESTMENT

    In October 1999, the Company acquired 100,000 shares (approximately 2.1%) of
    the common stock of Silicon Express, Inc. for $100,000. The Company accounts
    for this investment using the cost method of accounting.

(5) NOTES PAYABLE

    The Company has a line of credit and revolving loan in the form of notes
    payable with a lending institution aggregating up to $6,000,000. Maximum
    borrowings under the line of credit are equal to the lesser of 80% of
    accounts receivable (excluding certain accounts receivable balances) plus
    50% of inventory and fixed assets or $3,500,000. The line of credit is
    secured by accounts receivable, inventory, and fixed assets and bears
    interest at 2.65% plus the 30-day commercial paper rate (5.3% as of October
    31, 1999). The remaining $2,500,000 of the borrowings represent a revolving
    loan, which bears interest at 2.70% plus the 30-day commercial paper rate.
    As of October 31, 1999, the outstanding balance on the line of credit and
    related interest was $757,000. Accrued interest on the line of credit is
    payable monthly and the aggregate outstanding principal is due on July 31,
    2000. As of October 31, 1999, the outstanding balance on the revolving loan
    was $2,055,000. Accrued interest on the revolving loan is payable monthly
    beginning in August 1999 and the balance of principal and interest is due on
    October 31, 2003.

 (7)  SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

    The Company was incorporated in January 1995. The Company's Articles of
    Incorporation authorized 1,000,000 shares of common stock. No stock was
    issued at that time.

    In December 1995, the Articles of Incorporation of the Company were amended
    to increase the authorized number of shares of common stock to 10,000,000.
    In addition, the Company was authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of
    preferred stock, of which 1,781,958 shares were designated as Series A.

    (A) COMMON STOCK

        In January 1996, the Company issued 4,651,163 shares of common stock to
        key employees of the Company. The stock was issued in exchange for the
        employees' ownership in a predecessor entity with no significant net
        asset value; thus, no dollar value was assigned to the transaction.
        During 1996, the Company repurchased 1,000,000 shares of common stock.

        The Company maintains a right of first refusal with respect to common
        stock purchased by employees under the 1996 Stock Option Plan. A
        shareholder must notify the Company prior to selling these shares to a
        third party. Upon notification, the Company may purchase the shares from
        the holder at the price offered by the third party.

    (B) SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK

        On January 1996, the Company issued 1,781,958 shares of preferred stock
        to key employees of the Company. The stock was issued in exchange for
        the employees'

                                       13
<PAGE>

        ownership in a predecessor entity with no significant net asset value;
        thus, no dollar value was assigned to the transaction. During 1996, the
        Company repurchased 383,121 shares of preferred stock.

        The rights, preferences, and privileges of the Series A preferred stock
        shareholders are as follows:

          o  Holders of Series A preferred stock are entitled to
             noncumulative annual dividends of $0.03 per share, if and when
             declared by the Company's Board of Directors.

          o  Shares of Series A preferred stock have a liquidation
             preference of $0.50 per share, plus any declared but unpaid
             dividends. After these payments are made to preferred stock
             shareholders, the remaining assets of the Company will be
             distributed among the holders of common stock.

          o  Each share of preferred  stock is convertible at the option of the
             holder  into one share of common  stock at a price of $0.50
             per share,  subject to  certain  antidilution  adjustments.
             Conversion   will  occur  upon   written   consent  of  the
             preferred  stock  shareholders  and  automatically  upon an
             initial  public  offering  in which  the  aggregate  public
             offering  price equals or exceeds  $7,500,000 and $2.50 per
             share.

          o  Series A preferred stock votes equally with the shares of
             common stock on an "as if converted" basis.

    (C) WARRANT

        In March 1995, the Company entered into an arrangement with its major
        customer (see Note 8) to build a specified number of units of its
        testing equipment over a defined period of time (approximately five
        years). As part of this arrangement, the Company issued a warrant to the
        customer to purchase up to 606,000 shares of the Company's common stock
        at an exercise price of $0.10 per share. The warrant is generally
        exercisable within the five-year contract period (although it may be
        extended an additional three years in accordance with the terms of the
        contract) at the rate of 10,100 shares per system purchased. As of
        November 1, 1997, the customer had purchased the minimum required number
        of systems in order for the warrant to vest 100% but had not exercised
        any portion of this warrant.

        The fair value of the warrant was estimated on the date of grant using
        the Black-Scholes method with the following weighted-average
        assumptions: no dividend yield; an expected life of 3.5 years; a
        risk-free interest rate of 5.96; and a 60% volatility. Expense related
        to the warrant was not material.

    (D) STOCK OPTION PLAN

        In March 1996, the Company adopted the 1996 Stock Option Plan (the
        Plan), which provides for "incentive" stock options, defined by the
        Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended (the Code), to be granted to
        employees, at an exercise price not less than 100% of the fair value, at
        the grant date, as determined by the Board of Directors. The exercise
        price for incentive stock options is at least 110% of the fair market
        value on the date of grant for persons with greater than 10% of the
        voting power of all classes of stock. The Plan also provides for
        "nonstatutory" stock options to be granted to employees and consultants,
        which shall have an exercise price of not less than 85% of the fair
        value at the grant date. Options generally have a term of 10 years and
        vest over a period of 48 months. Some options have a 36-month vesting
        period. Options issued to persons with

                                       14
<PAGE>

        greater than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock have a term
        of 5 years. In the event of a merger of the Company with or into another
        corporation, the option may be assumed or an equivalent option may be
        substituted by such successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of
        such successor corporation. If, in such event, the option is not assumed
        or substituted, the optionee shall have the right to exercise the option
        as to all of the optioned stock, including shares as to which it would
        not otherwise be exercisable. Approximately 2,525,000 shares of common
        stock have been reserved for issuance under the Plan.

        A summary of the status of the Plan as of October 31, 1999, and changes
        during the years then ended is presented below:

        As of October 31, 1999, options outstanding had exercises prices of
        $0.16, $0.75, and $2.50. The fair value of options granted during the
        years ended October 31, 1999, was estimated on the date of grant using
        the minimum value method with the following weighted-average
        assumptions: no dividend yield; an expected life of 3.5 years; 60%
        volatility; and risk-free interest rates of 5.88%.

        The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for options issued
        to employees under the Plan. Under the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25,
        the Company applies the intrinsic value method in accounting for its
        stock-based compensation plans and no compensation cost has been
        recognized for stock options issued to employees in the fiscal 1999
        financial statements. Had compensation cost for the Company's
        stock-based compensation plans been determined consistent with the fair
        value approach set forth in SFAS No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED
        COMPENSATION, the Company's net income for the year ended October 31,
        1999, would have been $2,451,000.

        During fiscal 1999, the Company offered option holders the opportunity
        to have outstanding options repriced to current fair value, with no
        change in the related vesting period. The Company canceled and reissued
        (repriced) 244,400 options pursuant to the repricing.

(8) MAJOR CUSTOMERS

    The Company has one operating segment, Semiconductor Equipment Manufacturing
    and primarily all of the Company's assets are located in the United States.
    The Company sells to end users and distributors. Sales by geographical
    region for the year ended October 31, 1999 are as follows:

    United States    61%

    Asia        38%

    Europe      1%

    The Company had three customers that comprised 38%, 17%, and 10%,
    respectively, of the Company's total net sales and four customers that
    comprised 38%, 18%, 11%, and 10%, respectively, of gross accounts receivable
    as of October 31, 1999.

    The Company has an agreement with its major customer which provides that as
    long as the customer's orders account for at least 51% of the Company's
    available engineering and production resources, the customer will have the
    right of first refusal on at least 51% of available resources. No
    commitments will be made to any other customer that would interfere with the
    major customer's priority. In addition, as part of the arrangement, the
    Company issued a warrant to the customer (see Note 7).

(9) RETIREMENT PLAN

    The Company has a profit sharing plan and a money purchase plan that
    generally cover all employees of the Company who are over 21 years of age
    and have worked for the Company for at least one year. The annual
    contribution to the money purchase plan is a fixed obligation of 3% to 3.5%
    of eligible salaries. Annual contributions to the profit sharing plan are
    discretionary up to 15% of eligible salaries as determined by the Board of
    Directors. For the year ended October 31, 1999, contributions to the money
    purchase plan amounted to approximately $175,000, and contributions to the
    profit sharing plan amounted to approximately $262,000.

(12)  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

    On November 1, 1999, the Company established a qualified retirement plan
    under the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, in
    which eligible employees may participate. All participants in the plan are
    able to defer compensation up to the annual maximum amount allowable under
    the Internal Revenue Service regulations. Assets of the plan are invested as
    directed by the participants, and the Company may elect to make
    discretionary matching contributions and/or annual discretionary profit
    sharing contributions. It is anticipated that this plan will replace the
    existing money purchase plan.

    On November 22, 1999, the Company entered into a lease agreement for a new
    facility in Sunnyvale, California. The lease term begins on the earlier of
    March 1, 2000, or when the tenant improvements are substantially complete
    and is for a period of five years. Rent is due in monthly installments of
    approximately $69,000 and will be adjusted every year based on CPI. The
    lease will be accounted for as an operating lease.

    On May 12, 2000, the Company was acquired by Credence Systems Corporation
    for a total purchase price of approximately $80 million (unaudited).

(CONTINUED)

(B)   PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE
      AMOUNTS)

On March 27, 2000, TMT agreed to merge with Credence in a transaction accounted
for as a purchase. After the merger, TMT will be operated as a wholly owned
subsidiary of Credence.

The merger agreement provides for the payment of $69,981 in cash and the
assumption of the outstanding employee stock options. Credence will issue
options in exchange for the outstanding TMT options. The number of shares are
adjusted using an exchange ratio of 0.1507 shares of Credence common stock for
each outstanding share of TMT with the exercise price appropriately adjusted.

The following unaudited pro forma financial statements reflect the payment of
$69,981 for all of the outstanding TMT common shares as of the beginning of the
earliest period presented for the purposes of the pro forma statement of income
and as of April 30, 2000 for the pro forma balance sheet, as well as the
issuance of 174.7 options to purchase Credence common shares at a weighted
average exercise price of $11.18. The estimated fair value of the options has
been included as a part of the total estimated purchase cost.

The total purchase cost of the TMT merger is as follows (in thousands):

Cash paid                              $69,981

       allocation              ==========    ==========

The Company worked with an independent consultant to perform an allocation of
the total purchase price of TMT to its individual assets. Of the total purchase
price, $8.3 million has been allocated to in-process research and development
and will be charged to expense in the third fiscal quarter of 2000. Due to its
non-recurring nature, the in-process research and development attributed to the
TMT transaction has been

                                       19
<PAGE>

excluded in the pro forma statements of operations. The remaining purchase price
has been allocated to specifically identifiable assets acquired.

After allocating value to TMT's tangible assets and to the in-process research
and development projects, specific intangible assets were then identified and
valued. The related amortization of the identifiable intangible assets is
reflected as a pro forma adjustment to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
Combined Statement of Operations. The identifiable intangible assets include
existing technology, assembled workforce, customer relationships, and trade name
& marks.

The deferred compensation amount represents the intrinsic value of the unvested
stock options assumed in the transaction. The useful life is the weighted
average remaining future vesting period of the unvested options.

The acquired existing technology, which is comprised of products that are
already technologically feasible, includes products that are manufactured and
marketed by TMT. The Company expects to amortize the acquired existing
technology of approximately $23.5 million on a straight-line basis over an
average estimated remaining useful life of 10 years.

The trade names and trade marks include the TMT trademark and trade name as well
as all branded TMT products such as the RFx Series ATE testers and the ASL
Series ATE testers. The Company expects to amortize the trademarks and trade
names of approximately $2.1 million on a straight-line basis over an estimated
remaining useful life of 5 years.

The acquired assembled workforce is comprised of over 85 skilled employees
across TMT's Manufacturing, Research and Development, Sales and Marketing, and
General and Administration groups. The Company expects to amortize the assembled
workforce of approximately $1.4 million on a straight-line basis over an
estimated remaining useful life of 3 years.

Goodwill, which represents the excess of the purchase price of an investment in
an acquired business over the fair value of the underlying net identifiable
assets, is amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of
10 years.

Effective May 12, 2000, Credence combined its operations with TMT in a
transaction accounted for as a purchase. Accordingly, the financial statements
for Credence as of and for the period ended April 30, 2000 does not include the
financial position or results of operations of TMT for that period. The
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Consolidated Statement of Operations for
the fiscal period ended April 30, 2000 is based on the Unaudited Combined
Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations of Credence included on Form 10-Q
filed for the six month period ended April 30, 2000, after giving effect to the
merger with TMT under the purchase method of accounting and the assumptions and
adjustments described in the accompanying Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma
Condensed Combined Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Consolidated Statement of Operations
for the year ended October 31, 1999 is based on the historical financial
statements of Credence filed on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 1999,
after giving effect to the merger with TMT under the purchase method of
accounting and the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying
Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Consolidated Financial
Statements.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Consolidated Financial Statements
should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of
Credence and TMT and the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
included on Form 10-Q filed for the six month period ended April 30, 2000. The
pro forma information does not purport to be indicative of the results which
would have been reported if the above transaction had been in effect for the
period presented or which may result in the future.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Consolidated Statements of Operations
are presented as if the combination had taken place on November 1, 1998. The
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Consolidated Statement of Operations for
the year ended October 31, 1999 combines the historical twelve months ended
October 31, 1999 for Credence and for TMT. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
Combined Consolidated Statement of Operations for the six months ended April 30,
2000 combines the six months ended April 30, 2000 for Credence and the six
months ended April 30, 2000 for TMT.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Consolidated Balance Sheet is
presented to give effect to the proposed merger as if it occurred on April 30,
2000 and combines the balance sheet for Credence as of that date with the
balance sheet of TMT as of April 30, 2000.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
CONDENSED COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(A) On May 12, 2000, TMT merged with Credence, in a transaction accounted for as
a purchase. The total purchase price of $93.2 million included consideration of
approximately $70.0 million in cash of which $8 million is held back for one
year, the assumption of 1.2 million TMT stock options valued at $10.0 million,
and the creation of a $13.2 million deferred tax liability. The net
tangible assets purchased on May 12, 2000 were approximately $10.2 million.

The amortization of purchased intangibles consists of the amortization expense
for deferred compensation, developed technology, an assembled workforce,
customer relationships, trade name and trademarks, and goodwill. The estimated
useful lives of these assets range from approximately three years to ten years.

Of the total purchase price, $8.3 million has been allocated to in-process
research and development and will be charged to expense in the third fiscal
quarter of 2000. Due to its non-recurring nature, the in-process research and
development attributed to the TMT transaction has been excluded in the pro forma
statements of operations. TMT is currently developing new products and processes
that qualify as in-process research and development, including:

      The ASL 2000 is a derivative product developed from the existing ASL 1000
      product, however it will be capable of handling mixed signal instruments.
      The initial version of this product is expected to launch in the first
      fiscal quarter of 2001. Projects in-process to support this new product
      include:

           DDDV2 CARD - A multi-channel digital card to be added to this product
           platform for mixed signal devices.

           DSP - Provide analog source and capture for DSP testing of mixed
           signal products.

           BACKPLANE - A backplane and the system level design to support the
           instrumentation described above.

      The RFx2 is a derivative product developed from the existing RFx product.
      The initital version of this product is expected to launch in the first
      fiscal quarter of 2001. Projects in-process to support this new product
      include:

           DDDV2 CARD - A multi-channel digital card to be added to this product
           platform for mixed signal devices.

           DSP - Provide analog source and capture for DSP testing of mixed
           signal products.

           BACKPLANE - An adaption of the ASL2000 backplane to fit the RFx
           system.

           RFX2 PACKAGING - New packaging to support the above items.

      The CPx is a product based on a new technology platform that will allow
      for additional slots, power and bandwidth. This requires substantial
      changes in the software architecture, as well as adaptors to use cards
      from older platforms. The anticipated initial launch date of this product
      is the fourth fiscal quarter of 2001. Projects in-process to support this
      new product include:

           CPX CARDS - Adaptor cards to enable the ASL series of instruments to
           be used in this new platform.

           CPX BACKPLANE - The backplane and system level design for this new
           platform with greatly improved performance over the current ASL
           products.

                                       25

           CPX SOFTWARE - Software to support the CPx platform.

           CPX DIGITAL - Takes the concepts being developed for the DDDv2 noted
           above and increases the speed at which it runs.

           CPX PACKAGING - This project's goal is to achieve mechanical
           stability across a much wider test head while handling approximately
           twice the physical weight of previous products.

These projects vary in terms of completion from 50 percent to 85 percent
complete based on research and development complexity, costs, and time expended
to date relative to the expected remaining costs and time to reach technological
feasibility. The expected completion dates of these projects range from the
third fiscal quarter of 2000 to the first quarter of fiscal 2002.

(B) The pro forma combined provision for income taxes do not represent the
amounts that would have resulted had Credence and TMT filed consolidated income
tax returns during the periods presented. The provision for income tax includes
the amortization of the deferred tax liabilities originating from the
transaction.

(C) The pro forma basic and dilutive net income per share are based on the pro
forma weighted average number of shares of Credence common stock outstanding
during each period. Dilutive securities include the replacement TMT options and
are included in the computation of pro forma dilutive net income per share.
