Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS



     Certain statements in this management's discussion and analysis of
financial condition and results of operation include forward-looking
information. Factors that could cause actual results to differ include the
sufficiency of the size of the one-time charge, increased charges related to the
workforce reduction, continuation or expansion of the Asian financial crisis to
other regions, continued declining demand for semiconductor and data storage
capital equipment, continuing or increasing over capacity in the semiconductor
and data storage industries, success of the Company's technological
advancements, the Company's ability to compete successfully under current market
conditions and other risks discussed in the Company's current report on Form
10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 26, 1997.
The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the result of any
revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect the
events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of
unanticipated events.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997

     REVENUES Total revenues, which consist primarily of product revenues,
decreased by 15.4% to $11.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998
from $14.1 million for the same period ended March 31, 1997.

     Product revenues consist of revenues from the sale of focused ion beam
(FIB) systems, spare and replacement parts and service contracts provided with
respect to systems. Product revenues decreased 18.4% to $11.2 million for the
three-month period ended March 31, 1998 from $13.8 million for the same period
ended March 31, 1997. The decrease was primarily due to the overall market
weakness in the semiconductor and data storage industries, which resulted in a
decrease in system shipments for the quarter-ended March 31, 1998.

     GROSS PROFIT Total gross profit decreased 14.3% to $4.5 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 from $5.2 million for the same period ended
March 31, 1997. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the number of
FIB systems shipped, particularly the Micrion Flip Chip and Micromill HT FIB
systems, during the quarter-ended March 31, 1998.

     The Company's gross margin on product revenues increased to 37.4% for the
three-month period ended March 31, 1998 from 36.9% for the same period ended
March 31, 1997. The slight increase in gross margin was due to the change in the
product mix.

<PAGE>   9


     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased 21.7% to $3.3 million for the three-month
period ended March 31, 1998 from $2.7 million for the same period ended March
31, 1997. The increase was attributable to increases in sales and marketing
expenses associated with the addition of personnel in applications support, the
expansion of Micrion's Japanese subsidiary, the creation of a branch office
located in Taipei, Taiwan and the creation of a wholly owned subsidiary in the
United Kingdom.

     RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES The Company's research and development
expenses increased 14.9% to $1.8 million for the three-month period ended March
31, 1998 from $1.6 million for the same period ended March 31, 1997. The
increase was due to the Company's additional development activity for new
products and applications, which includes the 300 mm wafer development program.

     The level of research and development expense is expected to increase over
the remainder of the fiscal year due to management's decision to explore certain
production applications for its FIB products.

     OTHER OPERATING CHARGES As a result of the slowdown in both the
semiconductor and data storage industries, the Company took steps to reduce its
current expense levels, including a 15% reduction in the workforce at the end of
the period ended March 31, 1998. Included in the Company's results of operations
for the three-month period ended March 31, 1998 were employee severance and
other one-time charges of $998,000, which were composed of $398,000 related to a
reduction in the Company's workforce and $600,000 of costs associated with
project re-direction of various engineering efforts.

     OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE Total other expense, primarily interest expense,
increased to $261,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 1998 as
compared to $71,000 for the same period ended March 31, 1997. The increase is
due to the continuing interest expense incurred in connection with the Company's
long-term debt.

     (PROVISION) BENEFIT FOR INCOME TAXES The Company's effective tax rate for
the three-month periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 reflects a tax rate of
approximately 35%.

NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997

     REVENUES Total revenues increased by 1.3% to $41.3 million for the nine
months ended March 31, 1998 from $40.8 million for the same period ended March
31, 1997.

     Product revenues slightly increased .3% to $40.1 million for the nine-month
period ended March 31, 1998 from $40.0 million for the same period ended March
31, 1997. The slight increase was primarily due to the types of FIB systems
shipped during the nine months ended March 31, 1998.


                                       9

   GROSS PROFIT Total gross profit remained unchanged at $16.0 million for the
nine months ended March 31, 1998 compared to the same period ended March 31,
1997.

The Company's gross margin on product revenues decreased slightly to 39.1% for
the nine-month period ended March 31, 1998 from 39.7% for the same period ended
March 31, 1997. Gross margin on product revenues is affected by changes in the
type of product shipments and the mix of foreign and domestic shipments during
any given period. During the nine months ended March 31, 1998, the mix of
systems resulted in lower margins on system sales.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased 20.3% to $9.3 million for the nine-month
period ended March 31, 1998 from $7.7 million for the same period ended March
31, 1997. The increase is attributable to the expansion of Micrion's Japanese
subsidiary, the creation of a branch office located in Taipei, Taiwan and the
creation of a wholly owned subsidiary in the United Kingdom.

     RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES The Company's research and development
expenses increased 14.5% to $4.9 million for the nine-month period ended March
31, 1998 from $4.3 million for the same period ended March 31, 1997. The
increase was due to the Company's additional development activity for new
products and applications, which includes the 300 mm wafer development program.

     The level of research and development expense is expected to increase over
the remainder of the fiscal year due to management's decision to explore certain
production applications for its FIB products.

     OTHER OPERATING CHARGES As a result of the slowdown in both the
semiconductor and data storage industries, the Company took steps to reduce its
current expense levels, including a 15% reduction in the workforce at the end of
the period ended March 31, 1998. Included in the Company's three-month period
ended March 31, 1998 were employee severance and other one-time charges of
$998,000 as discussed above.

     OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE Total other expense, primarily interest expense,
increased to $789,000 for the nine-month period ended March 31, 1998 as compared
to $170,000 for the same period ended March 31, 1997. The increase is due to the
continuing interest expense incurred in connection with the Company's long-term
debt.

     (PROVISION) BENEFIT FOR INCOME TAXES The Company's effective tax rate for
the nine-month periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 reflects a tax rate of
approximately 35%.

     YEAR 2000 Management is aware of the potential software logic anomalies
associated with the year 2000 date change. The Company is in the process of
evaluating potential issues that might need to be addressed in connection with
its operations. Based on preliminary information, costs of addressing these
issues are not expected to have any 


                                       10


<PAGE>   11


material effect upon the Company's financial position, results of operations, or
cash flows in future periods.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At March 31, 1998 the Company had working capital of $34.4 million as
compared to $27.9 million at June 30, 1997, reflecting an increase in working
capital of $6.5 million. The increase is primarily attributable to a decrease in
a note payable due to the conversion of short-term debt to long term debt and a
decrease in accounts payable due to the decrease in inventory purchased during
the period ended March 31, 1998. Cash and cash equivalents were $2.9 million as
of March 31, 1998 as compared to $2.7 million as of June 30, 1997.

     Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended March
31, 1998 was approximately $140,000 and consisted primarily of a decrease in
accounts receivable offset in part by an increase in inventories and a decrease
in payables. The Company's inventories increased to $27.8 million at March 31,
1998 as compared to $25.0 million at June 30, 1997. The increase is primarily
due to additional systems delivered to strategic customers on a consigned basis
and customer support inventory to support new installed FIB systems in foreign
markets. Accounts payable decreased due to a reduction of purchases toward the
end of the quarter.

     Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended March 31,
1998 was approximately $.8 million and consisted primarily of increases in
demonstration equipment to be used for sales and marketing demonstrations and
engineering equipment to be used in a joint development program with a
university.

     Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended March
31, 1998 was $.9 million and consisted of $8.0 million from the proceeds of a
long term debt issue, partially offset by a repayment of $6.9 million against
the outstanding balance on the Company's working capital line of credit.

     The Company's accounts receivable decreased to $13.4 million at March
31,1998 as compared to $18.8 million at June 30, 1997 due to a decrease in FIB
shipments during the quarter ended March 31, 1998.

     The Company has a working capital line of credit with a bank, which
provides for borrowings up to $10.0 million. Amounts borrowed bear interest at
the bank's prime rate (8.50% at March 31, 1998). The line of credit expires on
December 1, 1998 and is unsecured. As of March 31, 1998, there was no was
outstanding balance under the line of credit. Also in July 1997, the Company
entered into a secured long-term loan agreement with the same bank for $8.0
million. The loan is secured by the Company's assets and intellectual property.
The term loan bears interest at the bank's prime rate plus 1.5% (10% at March
31, 1998). The agreement calls for eight quarterly payments of $1.0 million
commencing in the quarter ending September 30, 1998 through the quarter ending
June 30, 2000. The proceeds from this loan were used to pay down the outstanding


                                       11


<PAGE>   12


balance on the line of credit. The credit agreement with respect to the working
capital line and the long-term loan prohibits the payment of dividends, has
profitability requirements and requires maintenance of specified levels of
tangible net worth and certain financial ratios. For the quarter ending March
31, 1998, the Company was in violation of two covenants, namely the
profitability covenant and the debt service covenant. The Company has received a
waiver of such covenants from the bank.

     Micrion has historically generated approximately 50% of its revenues from
the Far East. Given the current turmoil and confusion that surrounds the Asian
markets, it is possible that some or all of the Company's customers in that
region could continue to reduce spending for new capital equipment, which would
have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations in future quarters.
At this time, the Company has not seen any cancellation of existing orders, but
has encountered delays in the receipt of new orders that had been expected.

     The Company believes that it has the necessary liquidity and capital
resources to sustain existing operations for at least the next twelve months.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 130
(SFAS 130), "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which establishes standards for
reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set
of general-purpose financial statements. Under this concept, all revenues,
expenses, gains and losses recognized during the period are included in income,
regardless of whether they are considered to be results of operations of the
period. SFAS 130, which becomes effective for the Company in its fiscal year
ending June 30, 1999, is not expected to have a material impact on the
consolidated financial statements of the Company.

     In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 131
(SFAS 131), "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information," which establishes standards for the way that public business
enterprises report selected information about operating segments in annual
financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected
information about operating segments in interim financial reports to
shareholders. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about
products and services, geographic areas and major customers. This Statement,
which becomes effective for the Company in its fiscal year ending June 30, 1999,
is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial
statements of the Company.

     In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
issued Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer
Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use" (SOP 98-1), which established
guidelines for the accounting for the costs of all computer software developed
or obtained for internal use. The Company is required to adopt SOP 98-1
effective July 1, 1999. The adoption of SOP 


                                       12

98-1 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated
financial statements.
