Item 7.  Financial Statements and Exhibits
- ------------------------------------------

(a)  Financial Statements of Business Acquired

     On February 21, 1997 FEI Company (the "Registrant") acquired substantially
all of the assets and liabilities of the electron optics business (the "PEO
Operations") of Philips Electronics N.V. ("Philips") that had been consolidated
into two wholly owned subsidiaries of Philips Industrial Electronics
International B.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of Philips ("PIE"). The PEO
Operations were acquired in exchange for 9,728,807 newly issued shares of the
Registrant's Common Stock, which constituted, when issued, 55% of the shares of
Common Stock of the Registrant then outstanding. The assets and liabilities that
were excluded from the PEO Operations and therefore not acquired by the
Registrant were (i) the sales and service organizations related to the Philips
electron optics business in approximately 25 countries other than the U.S.,
Canada, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, The Netherlands and the United Kingdom,
(ii) the real estate and improvements used in the principal manufacturing and
administrative facility used by the PEO Operations in Eindhoven (Acht), The
Netherlands, which facility will be leased to the Registrant for a term of 10
years and (iii) certain other assets and liabilities not pertaining directly to
the ongoing conduct of the PEO Operations. The Combination was recorded as a
"reverse purchase" for accounting and financial reporting purposes.

     This Form 8-K/A contains the Independent Auditors' Report and the
accompanying combined audited balance sheets of the electron optics business of
the PEO Operations as of December 31, 1995 and 1996 and the related combined
income statements and combined cash flow statements for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 1996.

     Before the Combination, the PEO Operations were operated as a business unit
of PIE. Management of Philips allocated certain costs in preparation of the
historical financial statements of the PEO Operations. No assurance is given
that these cost allocations reflect the actual costs that would have been
incurred by the PEO Operations if it had been operated as a stand-alone
business.

(b)  Pro Forma Financial Information

     This Form 8-K/A contains the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as
of December 31, 1996, prepared as if the Combination occurred on that date, and
the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended
December 31, 1996, as if the Combination occurred at the beginning of the
period.

     In the opinion of management of the Registrant, all adjustments necessary
to present fairly the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements have
been made based on the terms and structure of the Combination. These unaudited
pro forma combined financial statements are not necessarily indicative of what
actual results would have been had the

                                        2
<PAGE>
Combination occurred at the beginning of the period nor do they purport to
indicate the results of future operations of the Registrant.

     The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the accompanying notes and the historical financial statements
and notes thereto of the Registrant and the PEO Operations, respectively.

Item 8.  Change in Fiscal Year
- ------------------------------

     In connection with the Combination, the Registrant adopted the fiscal year
of the PEO Operations. Each of the first three fiscal quarters (ending in March,
June and September) will end on the last Sunday of the quarter and the fourth
quarter and the fiscal year will end on December 31.

Independent Auditors' Report
- ----------------------------

To the Board of Directors of
Philips Industrial Electronics International B.V.

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of the Philips Electron
Optics Operations to be transferred to FEI Company as of December 31, 1995 and
1996, and the related combined income statements and combined cash flow
statements for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31,
1996. These combined financial statements are the responsibility of the
management of Philips Electron Optics. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
in The Netherlands, which do not differ substantially from generally accepted
auditing standards in the United States. These 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 audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying combined financial statements are prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States on the basis of
Notes 1 and 3 pursuant to the Combination Agreement between Philips Industrial
Electronics International B.V. and FEI Company to transfer a substantial part of
Philips Electron Optics to FEI Company. The Philips Electron Optics Operations
were a component of several operating units of Philips Electronics N.V. and its
subsidiaries and did not constitute a separate legal or reporting entity.

In our opinion the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Philips Electron
Optics Operations to be transferred to FEI Company as of December 31, 1995 and
1996, the cash flows and the results of their operations for each of the years
in the three-year period ended December 31, 1996, on the basis described in
Notes 1 and 3, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in
the United States.

                       Philips' Electron Optics Operations
                     Notes to Combined Financial Statements

1    Structure of the Philips' Electron Optics operations pursuant to the
     Combination Agreement between Philips Industrial Electronics International
     B.V. and FEI Company

In November 1996 an agreement (the "Combination Agreement") was entered into
between Philips Industrial Electronics International B.V. ("PIE"), a Netherlands
corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Philips Electronics N.V. ("Philips"),
and FEI Company, an Oregon corporation, ("FEI") pursuant to which Philips'
Electron Optics business unit and FEI would be combined. The Electron Optics
operations to be transferred to FEI (the "PEO Operations") include business
activities in nine countries, and the Combination Agreement provides that these
various operations will be separated from their respective Philips organizations
and incorporated into new legal entities. Philips will transfer to FEI 100% of
the ownership interest in these new legal entities. Pursuant to the Combination
Agreement, PIE will receive 55% of the outstanding Common Stock of FEI. The
closing of the transactions contemplated by the Combination Agreement occurred
on February 21, 1997 (the "Closing").

The PEO Operations transferred to FEI consists of the world-wide activities of
the Electron Optics business unit of PIE (including substantially all of the
related assets and liabilities and personnel) on a going-concern basis, other
than the Excluded Business (as hereinafter defined), and included the relatively
small acquisitions in 1996 of the business of ElectroScan Corporation, a
Massachusetts corporation, and the former Delmi S.r.o. located in Brno, Czech
Republic. In accordance with the Combination Agreement, at Closing the PEO
Operations included $8.0 million in cash.

The "Excluded Business," which is not included in the combined financial
statements, means:

I.   Philips' Electron Optics sales and service organizations in countries other
     than the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, The
     Netherlands and the United Kingdom.

II.  Ownership of the real property located at Eindhoven, The Netherlands, and
     certain other assets and liabilities used in the PEO Operations.

The Combination Agreement provides that the Eindhoven real property will be
leased for a ten-year term at a market-related rate. A reduced rental rate of
$850,000 will apply for the first year. The parties to the Combination Agreement
have not yet agreed on rental rates for years two through ten of the lease
period.

2    Nature of Business

Description of Philips' Electron Optics Business

The PEO Operations develops, manufactures and sells electron optics instruments,
principally electron microscopes, to governmental and quasi-governmental
institutions, research foundations and similar institutions and to industrial
users in the semiconductor, pharmaceutical, chemical, metals and mining
industries. Customers of the PEO Operations are located worldwide, but primarily
in Europe, the U.S. and Asia.

Dependence on Suppliers

The PEO Operations relies on other Philips business and outside vendors to
manufacture the components and subassemblies used in its microscopes, many of
which are obtained from a sole supplier or a small number of suppliers. A
substantial portion of the subassemblies included in its electron microscopes
are purchased from the Philips machine shop (Philips Machinefabrieken B.V.).
Management of the PEO Operations believes that certain components and
subassemblies are available only from Philips. A significant delay or disruption
in obtaining components and subassemblies from Philips would have a material
adverse effect on the PEO Operations' results of operations during the period in
which alternative sources of supply were developed.

Shared Philips Resources

Philips and its affiliates provide certain services to the PEO Operations, such
as research and development (product and production technology), general
corporate resources and marketing and sales (brand name, distribution and sales
representation). See Note 17.


3    Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation

The combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. applied on a consistent
basis, taking into account SEC regulations, and include the accounts of the PEO
Operations transferred to FEI, i.e., the PEO Operations organizations in the
U.S., Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, The Netherlands and the United
Kingdom. The accounts of Philips Electron Optics Czech Republic s.r.o. (former
Delmi s.r.o.) are included from January 1, 1996. The accounts of ElectroScan
Corporation are included from July 1, 1996. All profits and losses derived from
intercompany transactions are eliminated. The combined financial statements are
presented as if the PEO Operations had existed as an entity separate from
Philips during the periods presented and include the historical assets,
liabilities, sales and expenses that are directly related to the PEO Operations.

Because the PEO Operations transferred have historically been part of the
Philips group, certain allocations of liabilities and expenses have been
included in the combined financial statements. These liabilities and expenses
are allocated using various methods depending upon

                                       10
<PAGE>
the nature of the liability or expense. In the opinion of Philips, the methods
used to allocate these liabilities and expenses to the PEO Operations as if they
were a separate entity are reasonable.

The combined financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the
financial position and results of operations that would have occurred had the
PEO Operations been a separate entity.

Use of estimates in financial reporting

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In addition, certain
allocations included in the combined financial statements are based on
estimates. Actual amounts and results could differ from estimates.

Foreign currency translation

For the purpose of the combined financial statements, the U.S. dollar has been
used as the reporting currency. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at the official exchange rates on the
respective balance sheet dates. Translation adjustments are shown separately in
Division Equity. Revenues, costs and expenses are translated using the average
rates of exchange for the periods involved. Realized and unrealized foreign
currency transaction gains and losses are included in the combined income
statement.

The following table sets forth, for the periods and as of the dates indicated,
the foreign exchange translation rates used (expressed in U.S. dollars per
Netherlands guilder) in the combined financial statements:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                                       Average Rate for              Rate at

                                       ----------------             ----------
<S>                                         <C>                       <C>   
     December 31, 1994                      0.5525                    0.5780
     December 31, 1995                      0.6211                    0.6250
     December 31, 1996                      0.5917                    0.5747
</TABLE>

Revenue recognition

Product sales are recorded at the time of shipment. Maintenance service
revenues, when billed in advance, are recorded as deferred revenue and
recognized ratably over the contract period; otherwise, revenues are recognized
as services are provided.

Cash and cash equivalents / Cash flow

The net cash position of the PEO Operations has been managed through the
centralized treasury system of Philips. Accordingly, transfers of cash within
the treasury system are recorded through intercompany accounts, which are
reflected as a component of Division

                                       11
<PAGE>
Equity in the combined balance sheets. In addition, intercompany balances
arising from purchase and sale transactions with other Philips affiliates and
allocated charges for services have been treated as the equivalent of cash
transactions in the combined financial statements and are included as a
component of Division Equity.

Receivables

Receivables and prepaid expenses are stated at face value, less a valuation
adjustment for doubtful accounts. The PEO Operations makes periodic evaluations
of the creditworthiness of its customers and generally does not require
collateral.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, less advance payment on
work in process. Cost is defined as purchase price or cost of manufacture,
determined under the first-in-first-out (FIFO) method. Costs include material,
labor and manufacturing overhead, taking into account the stage of completion.
Service inventories which are in excess of the current requirements based on
recent sales levels are reported as noncurrent assets (Other assets).
Obsolescence is calculated for inventories in excess of future requirements.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at purchase price or cost of manufacture, less
accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line
method over the expected economic life of the asset. For machinery and
installations as well as other fixed assets expected economic lives mainly range
from three to seven years.

Intangible fixed assets

With respect to business acquisitions accounted for using the purchase method,
the excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the identifiable
net assets acquired is capitalized as goodwill. Goodwill is amortized using the
straight-line method over the lesser of its estimated economic life or 40 years.
At balance sheet date, recorded goodwill is re-evaluated for impairment based
upon expectations of future cash flows and operating income.

Liabilities

Liabilities are stated at face value. For the purpose of these statements,
certain liabilities have been allocated to the PEO Operations on a pro rata
basis.

Provisions

Provisions are stated at face value, with the exception of provisions for
employee pension plans and other post retirement benefits, which are stated at
the estimated present value of the future obligation. Provision for product
warranty and free of charge replacement is established to cover estimated
warrant costs and certain commitments for product updates made. Products
generally have a one year warranty period. Provisions include both reserves
based on a percentage of sales for normal warranty and replacement during agreed
warranty periods and reserves based on a case-by-case calculation.


                                       12
<PAGE>
Division equity

Division Equity represents the Philips financing of the net assets of the PEO
Operations through an intercompany account. No separate equity or debt financing
has existed at the level of the PEO Operations.

Sales

Sales represent the revenues derived from deliveries of products and customer
service activities to third parties and to Philips organizations not to be
transferred.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales represents the cost of material, production and distribution to
the sales organizations incurred in the production facilities at Acht, The
Netherlands; Brno, Czech Republic; and Wilmington, Massachusetts.

Research and development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. For certain product
development projects the PEO Operations has received grants from The Netherlands
government and the European Community, which are credited to the development
expenses equally over the periods in which these expenses are incurred. The
expenses include certain contract development costs provided by Philips Research
and third parties.

Selling, general and administrative costs

Selling, general and administrative costs represent the costs of sales
departments and customer service departments (including time spent by service
engineers). Also included are the allocated costs of management and
administration in the countries, the costs of general management and
administration at the production facilities and the allocated portion of the
Philips corporate costs.

Interest expense

There is no direct interest cost allocation to the PEO Operations with respect
to Philips intercompany borrowings and, accordingly, the combined income
statements do not include any allocated financing costs.

Income taxes

The business of the PEO Operations is included in the consolidated income tax
return of Philips in each country in which the PEO Operations conducts business.
For the purposes of these statements, income tax expense is calculated using the
statutory rates on taxable income per country on a calendar year basis, as if
the PEO Operations activity had been an independent entity.

A component of the valuation adjustment for obsolescence at December 31, 1996 is
the planned obsolescence of a certain type of high-tension tank. In 1996 the PEO
Operations completed a development program for a new version of the high-tension
tank. Management expects the old version of the high-tension tank to be phased
out over a period of two to three years. The gross inventories of these
high-tension tanks were $963,000 at December 31, 1996, less a cumulative
valuation adjustment of $297,000, for a net inventory value of $666,000 at that
date.


6    Current accounts with Philips

Current accounts with Philips represent accounts receivable and accounts payable
between PEO Operations and other Philips units. Most of the current account
transactions relate to deliveries of goods.

Included in other fixed assets is demonstration equipment in the amount of
$2,092,000 and $2,305,000 as of December 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

Under the terms of the Combination Agreement, certain land and a manufacturing
and office building located at Eindhoven, The Netherlands, were retained by
Philips and leased to FEI under an operating lease agreement.

Accordingly, the land and building have been excluded from the accompanying
combined balance sheets. The combined income statements for the years ended
December 31, 1995 and 1996 include $348,000 and $332,000, respectively, of
depreciation expense related to such facilities, representing an assumed charge
to the PEO Operations from Philips for the use of the land and building.

According to the Combination Agreement, for 1997 a reduced rental rate of
$850,000 will apply.


9    Intangible fixed assets

On February 6, 1996 the PEO Operations acquired Delmi S.r.o., now called Philips
Electron Optics Czech Republic S.r.o., at Brno, Czech Republic, for a
consideration of approximately $400,000. The acquisition did not result in the
recording of any goodwill. The Delmi operations have been consolidated with the
PEO Operations for financial reporting purposes since January 1, 1996.

On July 11, 1996 the PEO Operations acquired substantially all of the assets of
ElectroScan Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation, for $2.8 million,
resulting in $1,695,000 of goodwill. The goodwill will be amortized over 60
months. The ElectroScan operations have been consolidated with the PEO
Operations since July 1, 1996. Accumulated goodwill amortization in the year
ended December 31, 1996 was $169,500. Pursuant to the ElectroScan purchase
agreement, the PEO Operations will pay $25,000 of additional consideration to
the former ElectroScan Corporation shareholders for each eight-inch ESEM model
XL50 sold by the PEO Operations subsequent to closing of the ElectroScan
acquisition until December 31, 2001, up to an aggregate of $4 million. In March
1997, management of FEI Company transferred the manufacturing activities of
ElectroScan to the manufacturing facility in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. The
remaining goodwill attributable to the acquisition of the assets of ElectroScan
Corporation was written off and charged to income in the first quarter of 1997.

Provision for Pensions and Termination Indemnity

Employee pension plans have been established in many countries in accordance
with the legal requirements, customs and the local situation in the countries
involved. The majority of employees in Europe and North America are covered by
defined benefit plans. The benefits provided by these plans are based primarily
on years of service and employees' compensation near retirement. The funding
policy for the plans is consistent with local requirements in the

                                       17
<PAGE>
countries of establishment. The pension obligations have, in most cases, been
transferred to separate pension funds or to third parties, limiting any further
obligations of the company to the beneficiaries. Pension assets and liabilities
resulting from the accounting for pension costs in accordance with SFAS 87 are
recorded by Philips at the corporate level in the countries and therefore not
shown in the balance sheet of each unit.

The following table sets forth the funded status of the Philips corporate
defined benefits plans in the relevant countries (in thousands of US Dollars):

The Projected Benefit Obligation for the PEO Operations employees at December
31, 1996 is estimated at approximately $35 million. PEO Operations employees
represent less than 1% of the total active participants in these plans. In view
of the insignificance of PEO Operations' share in these plans, PEO Operations
does not account for its share of plan assets and obligations, except for a plan
in Germany. This plan is not funded with a separate pension fund. The provision
on PEO Operations' balance sheet covers the projected benefit obligations for
the employees who participate in this German plan as well as certain
supplementary payments to certain employees in France.

Provision for Post-Retirement Benefits Other Than Pensions

In the Netherlands and the U.S., Philips provides certain post-retirement
benefits other than pensions. In accordance with SFAS 106, Philips began
accruing for this liability over 20 years at the corporate level. The accrual
commenced in 1993 for plans in the U.S. and in

                                       18
<PAGE>
1995 for plans in The Netherlands. The portion of the corporate provision
allocable to the PEO Operations in the U.S. is allocated to the PEO Operations
and is included in long-term provisions. For The Netherlands, the provision is
recorded at the Philips corporate level. On the basis of the number of employees
in the PEO Operations in The Netherlands at December 31, 1996, an amount of
approximately $75,000 would have been allocated to the PEO Operations in The
Netherlands. The unrecognized part of the liabilities allocated on the same
basis to the PEO Operations amounts to approximately $700,000 at December 31,
1996.

The following table sets forth the unfunded post-retirement benefit liability of
Philips as of December 31, 1996 (in thousands of US Dollars).

17   Related Party Transactions

Corporate Allocations

Philips has provided substantial services to the PEO Operations, including
general management, treasury, tax, financial audit, financial reporting,
insurance and legal services. Philips has historically charged the PEO
Operations for such services through corporate allocations generally based on a
percentage of sales. The amount of the charge was dependent upon the total
amount of anticipated allocable costs incurred by Philips, less amounts charged
as a direct cost or expense rather than by allocation. Included in selling,
general and administrative expenses are charges of $738,000, $1,070,000 and
$1,271,000 for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

Sales to Philips

(A)  Sales to Philips organizations not transferred

A number of existing Philips sales organizations are excluded from the
operations transferred to FEI; however, these units will continue to act as
distributors for PEO Operations' products in their respective countries. Sales
for distribution to these units amounted to approximately 9%, 8% and 10.5% of
sales during the years ended December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

(B)  Sales to Philips organizations as end users

In addition to the above-mentioned sales for further distribution, some Philips
units buy products manufactured by the PEO Operations. Sales to these end-user
Philips units amounted to approximately 3.0%, 2.3% and 3.1% of sales during the
years ended December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

Purchases through Philips

From time to time, the PEO Operations purchases material and supplies under
collective purchase agreements and purchase conditions negotiated by Philips for
the benefit of its group companies. For this service the PEO Operations has paid
a fixed annual fee amounting to

                                       22
<PAGE>
approximately $43,000, which has been charged to cost of sales. The benefits for
the PEO Operations of these arrangements cannot be calculated precisely, but
management believes that such benefits are in excess of the amounts paid.
Management also believes that benefits relating to the arrangements between the
PEO Operations and the Philips group are immaterial to the PEO Operations'
operating results when compared to similar arrangements which could have been
entered into had the PEO Operations operated on a stand-alone basis.

Dependence on Philips Suppliers

See Note 2.

Intercompany Current Accounts

See Note 6.

Other Services

In connection with the Combination Agreement, the PEO Operations entered into
agreements with Philips affiliates for the purpose of defining their ongoing
relationship. These agreements set forth certain rights and obligations of the
PEO Operations, Philips and their respective affiliates on a prospective basis,
afford the PEO Operations continued access to the research and development
resources of Philips on a fee basis, provide for the parties' respective rights
to intellectual property, and provide a framework under which Philips affiliates
will continue to provide certain administrative and other services that have
been provided to the PEO Operations in the past. Management believes that, had
these agreements been in place on a historical basis, they would not have
resulted in any material change in the historical position or results of
operations of the PEO Operations.

                     PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                         FEI Company and PEO Operations
                                   (Unaudited)

     The following unaudited pro forma financial statements reflect the
combination of the business of FEI and the PEO Operations. The transaction is
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. In applying the purchase
method of accounting, the PEO Operations has been determined to be the acquirer.
Accordingly, the financial information for the PEO Operations has been presented
at historical amounts and the purchase accounting adjustments have been applied
to the consolidated financial statements of FEI.

     The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of December 31, 1996 was
prepared as if the Combination had occurred on that date. The unaudited pro
forma combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1996 was
prepared as if the Combination had occurred at the beginning of the period. The
pro forma combined statement of operations does not include a nonrecurring
charge of approximately $38 million related to the portion of the fair value of
FEI allocated to in-process technology. This amount was expensed by FEI
immediately subsequent to Closing. The pro forma combined balance sheet at
December 31, 1996 is presented as if the in-process technology were written off
on January 1, 1996.

     In the opinion of management of FEI, all adjustments necessary to present
fairly such pro forma combined financial statements have been made based on the
terms and structure of the Combination. These unaudited pro forma combined
financial statements are not necessarily indicative of what actual results would
have been if the Combination had occurred at the beginning of the respective
periods nor do they purport to indicate the results of future operations of FEI
Company. These unaudited pro forma combined financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the accompanying notes and historical financial statements
and notes thereto of FEI and the PEO Operations.

     Before the Combination, the PEO Operations was operated as a business unit
of PIE. Management of Philips allocated certain costs in preparation of the
historical financial statements of the PEO Operations. No assurance is given
that these cost allocations reflect the actual costs that would have been
incurred by the PEO Operations if it had been operated as a stand-alone
business.

     To reflect the elimination of intercompany payables between FEI and the PEO
     Operations.   At December 31, 1996, approximately $140 was due to FEI

d.   Adjustment to inventories to reflect the difference between fair market value
        and book value                                                                        $      850

e.   Adjustment to deferred income taxes to reflect the impact of tax effects on
        the creation of the existing technology and other purchase
        price adjustments:
     Current assets                                                                           $     (629)

        market value and the book value of FEI's fixed assets                                 $      350
                                                                                              ==========

h.   Adjustment to record the difference between the estimated purchase
        price and the tangible net worth of FEI. Under the reverse
        acquisition method of accounting, whereby the PEO Operations is
        deemed to have acquired the assets of FEI, the total acquisition
        cost of FEI has been determined and the constituent amounts have
        been allocated to the assets to be acquired and obligations to be
        assumed, as follows:

     Excess of estimated costs of acquisition over the estimated fair values of
        tangible and identifiable intangible assets of FEI                                    $  17,764

     Existing technology, representing the estimated net present value of
        future gross margins, less associated operating expenses, for the
        current product
        lines of FEI                                                                          $  16,490
                                                                                              =========

     In addition, a one-time charge of $38,046 associated with the writeoff
        of acquired in-process research and product development will reduce
        operating income and shareholders' equity subsequent to the date of
        Closing. The pro forma combined balance sheet is presented as if the
        in-process technology were written off on January 1, 1996.

     The amortization periods for existing technology and goodwill have been
        established at 12 years and 15 years respectively. The existing focused
        ion beam technology, which is now in its third year of
        commercialization, is estimated to have a 15-year life. Management
        expects to evaluate these amortization periods from time to time. It is
        possible that estimates of anticipated future gross revenues, the
        remaining estimated economic life of products or technologies, or both
        may be reduced due to competitive pressures or other factors.
