Item 2.   Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

     Effective  July 1, 1996,  Key  Technology,  Inc. (the  "Company")  acquired
Suplusco Holding B.V.  ("Suplusco"),  and its wholly-owned  subsidiary  Superior
B.V.  ("Superior"),  both located in Beusichem,  The Netherlands.  Superior is a
manufacturer of vibratory  conveying  equipment.  The  acquisition  includes all
Superior operations.  Superior will continue to operate as a separate subsidiary
of the Company led by its existing management team, and its 25 employees will be
retained.

     The acquisition occurred pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of
July 1, 1996 (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") among the Company;  Suplusco;  and
R.C. van Beem, W.J. Arentsen, and W. de Haan (the "Suplusco Shareholders"),  who
indirectly owned all of the outstanding  stock of Suplusco.  The assets acquired
include a building, inventory,  machinery, equipment and other operating assets.
The  Suplusco  Shareholders  also agreed not to compete  with the Company or its
subsidiaries  for two  years  following  termination  of their  employment  with
Superior.

     The  purchase  price  for the  stock  was  5,200,000  guilders  (U.S.  $3.0
million),  which includes certain deferred  payments to be paid over three years
as provided in the Stock Purchase Agreement.  At closing,  the Company also paid
certain debts of Suplusco in the aggregate  amount of 1,635,000  guilders  (U.S.
$950,000).  The  portion  of the  purchase  price  paid at  closing,  which  was
determined by negotiation between the Company and the Suplusco Shareholders, was
paid in cash from operating capital of the Company.

     The foregoing  description of the Stock Purchase  Agreement is qualified in
its  entirety by  reference  to the copy of same  attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the

Notes to the  consolidated  balance sheet and the  consolidated  profit and loss
account


GENERAL
- -------

Activities
- ----------

The activities of Suplusco  Holding B.V. and her 100%  subsidiary  Superior B.V.
consist  primarily of designing  and  manufacturing  of vibratory  equipment for
application in food and non-food industries.

Group structure
- ---------------

The  consolidation  includes  Suplusco  Holding  B.V.  and her  100%  subsidiary
Superior B.V. at Beusichem.


CONSOLIDATION PRINCIPLES
- ------------------------

Financial  information  relating to subsidiaries within the Group is included in
the consolidated  financial statements of Suplusco Holding B.V. The consolidated
financial   statements  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  the  group's
accounting  principles  regarding  valuation and profit  recognition.  Financial
information  relating to the group  companies  is  included in the  consolidated
financial   statements;   intercompany   relationships   and   transactions  are
eliminated.  Minority  interests  in equity and results of group  companies  are
separately disclosed in the consolidated financial statements.


ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES-GENERAL
- -----------------------------

The financial  statements  are prepared under the  historical  cost  convention.
Unless stated otherwise assets and liabilities are stated at face value.  Income
and expenses are  accounted for on accrual  basis.  Profit is only included when
realised.  Losses and risks originating before the end of the financial year are
taken into account if they have become known before preparation of the financial
statements.


TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN CURRENCY
- -------------------------------

Monetary assets and liabilities  denominated in foreign  currency are translated
at the exchange rates prevailing at balance sheet date, unless the exchange risk
is hedged. In these latter cases amounts are translated at contract rates.


<PAGE>


Transactions  in foreign  currency during the financial year are included in the
financial statements at average rate. Exchange  differences  resulting are taken
to the profit and loss account.


PRINCIPLES FOR THE VALUATION OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
- ------------------------------------------------------

Intangible fixed assets
- -----------------------

Intangible  fixed  assets  are  stated  at cost less  accumulated  amortisation.
Amortisation  is charged as a percentage of cost, as specified  more detailed in
notes to the balance sheet.

Tangible fixed assets
- ---------------------

Tangible  fixed  assets  are  stated  at  purchase  of  production   price  less
accumulated depreciation.  Deprecation is based on the estimated useful live and
calculated  as a fixed  percentage  of cost,  taking into  account any  residual
value. Depreciation is provided from the date an asset comes into use.

Inventories and work in progress
- --------------------------------

Inventories of raw materials and auxiliaries are valued at cost.
Work in progress is valued at cost less a provision for any  foreseeable  losses
as of balance sheet date.  Production  cost includes the direct  materials used,
direct wages,  machine costs and other direct  production  costs and  production
overhead.

Accounts receivable
- -------------------

Accounts  receivable  are included at face value,  less  provisions for doubtful
accounts.

Provisions
- ----------

The provision for warranty obligations has been provisionally included as a P.M.
item.




<PAGE>




PRINCIPLES FOR DETERMINATION OF RESULTS
- ---------------------------------------

Net turnover
- ------------

Turnover  represents amounts invoiced for equipment and services supplied net of
discounts and VAT.

Taxes
- -----

Taxes on profits are  calculated at the  applicable  rate on the profits for the
financial  year,  taking into  account  permanent  differences  between  profits
calculated for accounting and taxation purposes.

Extraordinary income and expense
- --------------------------------

Extraordinary  income and  expense  arise from events  which are outside  normal
operating activities an which are of a non-recurring nature.

as a p.m. item.

Notes to the company balance sheet and the company profit and loss account


GENERAL
- -------

Activities
- ----------
The  activities  of the  company  mainly  consist  of the  participation  in and
financing of other companies. They also rent out buildings to other companies.


ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES-GENERAL
- -----------------------------

The financial  statements  are prepared under the  historical  cost  convention.
Unless stated otherwise assets and liabilities are stated at face value.
Income and expenses are accounted for on accrual basis.  Profit is only included
when realised. Losses and risks originating before the end of the financial year
are taken into  account if they have  become  known  before  preparation  of the
financial statements.


TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN CURRENCY
- -------------------------------

Monetary assets and liabilities  denominated in foreign  currency are translated
at the exchange rates prevailing at balance sheet date.  Transactions in foreign
currency  during the financial year are included in the financial  statements at
average rate.  Exchange  differences  resulting are taken to the profit and loss
account.


PRINCIPLES FOR THE VALUATION OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
- ------------------------------------------------------

Intangible fixed assets
- -----------------------
The intangible fixed assets have been evaluated on purchase price. Depreciations
are accounted on a straight line base over five years.

Tangible fixed assets
- ---------------------
Tangible  fixed  assets  are  stated  at  purchase  of  production   price  less
accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is based on the estimated useful live and
calculated  as a fixed  percentage  of cost,  taking into  account any  residual
value. Depreciation is provided from the date an asset comes into use.



<PAGE>



Financial fixed assets
- ----------------------
The participations included in the financial fixed assets have been evaluated on
net capital value  calculated in  accordance  with the  principles of the parent
company.  Occurring  revaluations are added to the general reserve by way of the
result.

Accounts receivable, long  term debts, short term  debts and accrued liabilities
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The  accounts  receivable,  long  term  debts,  short  term  debts  and  accrued
liabilities  have been included  against nominal value;  possible dubious claims
have been submitted to a devaluation based on individual assessment.


PRINCIPLES FOR DETERMINATION OF RESULTS
- ---------------------------------------

The result is  determined as being the  difference  between the net turnover and
the related  costs in the year of reported  on,  taking into  consideration  the
valuation  principles as mentioned before.  The profits are accounted for in the
year in which goods and services  were  delivered  and  executed.  The losses on
transactions are accounted for in the year in which they are foreseeabel.  Costs
are to the  account  of the  result  of the  year  they  relate  to.  Taxes  are
calculated on the commercial  result,  taking into account fiscal facilities and
limitations.

2.a. The firm can only make  payments  to the  shareholders  and  other  parties
     entitled  to the  part of the  profits  than  can be paid out as far as the
     shareholder's  equity is bigger than the deposited and demanded part of the
     equity increased with the reserves that must be legally maintained.
2.b. Payments of profits are made after the  assessment  of the annual  account,
     that shows that the payments are permitted.
2.c. No profit on shares is paid to the firm.
3.   At the  calculation of the division of the profits the shares that are held
     by the  firm in its own  equity  do not  count,  unless  these  shares  are
     encumbered  with a usufruct or  certificates  of this have been issued with
     the cooperation of the firm.
4.   The firm can only make payments  between times if the  requirements  of the
     second part under "a" have been met.


INCORPORATION RESULTS
- ---------------------

The  balance  of  profit  on the  period  1995/1996  amounts  to  Dfl.  946.263.

the profit on this period in favour of the general reserve.

AUDITOR'S REPORT
- ----------------

Introduction
- ------------
In accordance  with your  instructions  we have audited the 1995/1996  financial
statements  of  B.V.  at  Beusichem.   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.

Scope
- -----
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards  generally accepted
in the Netherlands.  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  statements
presentation.  We believe  that our audit  provides a  reasonable  basis for our
opinion.

Opinion
- -------
In our opinion,  the financial  statements of Suplusco  Holding B.V. give a true
and fair view of the  financial  position of the company as of June 30, 1996 and
of the result for the year then ended in accordance with  accounting  principles
generally accepted in the Netherlands and comply with the legal requirements for
financial  statements  as  included in Part 9, Book 2 of the  Netherlands  Civil
Code.

                          RECONCILIATION TO U.S. GAAP
                          ---------------------------
                                  (Unaudited)

     These  audited  financial  statements  are  prepared  in  conformance  with
Generally Accepted  Accounting  Principles  ("GAAP") of the Netherlands.  To the
knowledge of the Registrant,  there would be no significant adjustments to these
financial  statements if U.S. GAAP were to be applied  except:  (1)  Netherlands
GAAP  does not  require  a  Statement  of Cash  Flows  (see  attached  unaudited
Condensed  Consolidated  Cash  Flow  Statement),  (2)  certain  items  have been
classified as extraordinary items according to Netherlands GAAP, which would not
be so classified under U.S.  accounting  principles,  and (3) certain production
costs have been classified as Other  Production  Costs rather than Cost of Goods
Sold, which does not impact net income.

       KEY TECHNOLOGY ANNOUNCES THE ACQUISITION OF SUPLUSCO HOLDING B.V.
                               AND SUPERIOR B.V.

WALLA  WALLA,  Washington  -- Key  Technology,  Inc.  (NASDAQ/NMS:  KTEC)  today
announced that it had finalized the acquisition of Suplusco Holding B.V. and its
wholly-owned   subsidiary   Superior  B.V.,  both  located  in  Beusichem,   The
Netherlands.  Superior is a  manufacturer  of high-end  vibratory  and conveying
equipment  for the  food,  plastic  and  recycling  industries  in  Europe.  The
acquisition  includes all Superior  operations and will continue to operate as a
separate division of Key Technology, Inc., led by its existing management team.

Thomas C. Madsen,  President  and CEO of Key  Technology  commented:  "By adding
Superior's  manufacturing  operations to the existing Key Technology  B.V. sales
and  service  office,  we  create  a  significant  market  presence  in  Europe.
Superior's  excellent  reputation  for quality  products and service  makes it a
natural  fit with  Key.  The  acquisition  gives Key the same  unique  strategic
advantage  in Europe  that it enjoys  in the U.S.  by  becoming  a  supplier  of
complete  integrated  optical  inspection and material  handling systems for the
food  processing  industry.  In  addition,  Superior  has  vibratory  processing
products  that Key  Technology  will  manufacture  and  distribute  for the U.S.
market."

For the eleven months ended May 31, 1996,  Suplusco's  consolidated net earnings
were approximately Dfl 795,000 (U.S. $465,000) on sales of approximately Dfl 6.1
million (U.S.  $3.6  million).  For the twelve  months ended June 30, 1996,  net
sales were approximately Dfl 6.7 million (U.S. $3.9 million). The purchase price
for the shares of Suplusco  Holding B.V. was Dfl 5.2 million (U.S. $3.0 million)
cash.  Superior has 25 employees,  bringing Key Technology's  European  staffing
level to a total of 40 employees.

Key  Technology,  an  ISO-9000  certified  company,  is a leading  designer  and
manufacturer  of  process  automation   systems,   integrating   electro-optical
inspection  and  sorting,   specialized   conveying,   and  product  preparation
equipment.  Key(R) systems allow processors to improve  quality,  increase yield
and reduce costs. Headquartered in Walla Walla, Washington,  U.S.A., the Company
oversees a world-wide network of sales  representatives on five continents.  The
Company's  common stock trades on the Nasdaq  National Market tier of The Nasdaq
Stock Market(SM) under the symbol: KTEC.
