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
continuation of the Asian financial crisis, financial problems in other regions,
continued declining demand for semiconductor and data storage capital equipment,
continuing or increasing over capacity in the semiconductor and data storage
industries, the Company's ability to compete successfully under current market
conditions, issues relating to the proposed merger between the Company and a
wholly-owned subsidiary of FEI Company, and other risks discussed in the
Company's current report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on September 28, 1998. 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 DECEMBER 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 1997

     REVENUES.  Total revenues decreased by 31% to $10.0 million for the three
months ended December 31, 1998 from $14.6 million for the same period ended
December 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 33% to $9.6 million
for the three-month period ended December 31, 1998 from $14.3 million for the
same period ended December 31, 1997. The decrease was due to the overall market
weakness in the semiconductor and data storage industries, which resulted in a
decrease in the number of FIB systems shipped for the quarter ended December 31,
1998.

     GROSS PROFIT. Total gross profit decreased 40% to $3.6 million for the
three months ended December 31, 1998 from $6.0 million for the same period ended
December 31, 1997. The decrease was primarily due to a decreased number of FIB
shipments during the quarter ended December 31, 1998 resulting from a softness
in demand for semiconductor capital equipment.

   The Company's gross profit on product revenues decreased to 37% for the three
months ended December 31, 1998 from 42% for the same period ended December 31,
1997. Gross profit 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 quarter ended December 31, 1998, the mix of systems resulted
in lower margins on system sales due to competitive price pressures arising, in
part, from reduced customer capital acquisition budgets.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased 8% to $2.9 million for the three-month period
ended December 31, 1998 from $3.1 million for the same period ended December 31,
1997. The decrease is attributable to a reduction of $230,000 in salaries
related to a reduction in the Company's workforce and a decrease of $80,000 in
travel related costs during the quarter ended December 31, 1998.

     RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. The Company's research and development
expenses decreased 12% to $1.4 million for the three-month period ended December
31, 1998 from $1.6 million for the same period ended December 31, 1997. The
decrease was due to the Company receiving a government research and development
contract, which resulted in greater absorption of such expenses.

     OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE. Other expense, net, primarily bank interest
expense, remained constant at $ .3 million for the three-month period ended
December 31, 1998 as compared to the same period ended December 31, 1997.

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

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED
DECEMBER 31 ,1997

     REVENUES. Total revenues decreased by 29% to $20.8 million for the six
months ended December 31, 1998 from $29.3 million for the same period ended
December 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 32% to $19.5 million for the
six-month period ended December 31, 1998 from $28.9 million for the same period
ended December 31, 1997. The decrease was due to a slowdown in the semiconductor
and data storage industries, which resulted in reduced customer capital spending
for FIB systems.

     GROSS PROFIT. Total gross profit decreased 40% to $6.9 million for the six
months ended December 31, 1998 from $11.5 million for the same period ended
December 31, 1997. The decrease was primarily due to a reduced number of FIB
shipments during the six months ended December 31, 1998 resulting from a
softness in demand for semiconductor capital equipment.

The Company's gross profit on product revenues decreased to 34% for the
six-month period ended December 31, 1998 from 40% for the same period ended
December 31, 1997. Gross profit 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 six months ended December 31, 1998, the mix
of systems resulted in lower

margins on system sales due to competitive price pressures arising, in part,
from reduced customer capital acquisition budgets.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased 2% to $6.0 million for the six-month period
ended December 31, 1998 from $5.9 million for the same period ended December 31,
1997. The slight increase is primarily attributable to $270,000 of demo
equipment expenses and $370,000 for customer support personnel in the UK, Taiwan
and Japan subsidiaries to support the expanded installed base of FIB systems,
partially offset by $370,000 decrease in U.S. salaries due to a Company
workforce reduction and $170,000 decrease in travel related expenses.

     RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. The Company's research and development
expenses decreased 14% to $2.7 million for the six-month period ended December
31, 1998 from $3.1 million for the same period ended December 31, 1997. The
decrease was due to the Company receiving a government research and development
contract, which resulted in greater absorption of such expenses.

     OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE. Other expense, net, primarily bank interest
expense, remained constant at $ .5 million for the six-month period ended
December 31, 1998 as compared to the same period ended December 31, 1997.

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

     YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE. Management is aware of the potential
software logic anomalies associated with the year 2000-date change. The Company
has taken steps to review and analyze its information technology along with its
non-information technology systems in order to assess the year 2000 change.

     During fiscal 1998, the Company completed an inventory of its systems and
system components, which included questionnaires sent to its vendors and
suppliers regarding hardware and software logic. The Company has also analyzed
its internal manufacturing, accounting, and management information systems and
believes that its internal systems address all year 2000 issues in all material
respects.

     In the first half of fiscal 1999, the Company has requested documentation
in the form of questionnaires from its vendors and suppliers to determine the
adequacy of their preparedness for the year 2000-date change. Because the
assessment will not be complete until March 1999, the Company is unable to
determine vendor and supplier compliance with year 2000 readiness. To date, the
Company has received a majority of the vendor questionnaires and has not
received any notification as to a deficiency from any vendor or supplier. The
Company intends to prepare a contingency plan if it becomes aware of any vendor
Year 2000 problems or risks. There can be no assurance that the Company's
suppliers or service providers will not suffer a year 2000 business disruption
which could

have a material adverse impact on the Company's business, financial condition
and results of operations The Company, in the ordinary course of business, seeks
to expand its vendor base to lessen the dependence on any one vendor and seeks
additional sources of supply for its key products and services where
appropriate.

     The Company has also assessed year 2000 compliance regarding the products
it manufactures. A program is underway to test each of the products sold by the
Company following standards suggested by Sematech. While testing will not be
completed on all products until May 1999, the Company has not encountered any
significant issues based upon the preliminary data collected.

     For the fiscal years 1999 and 1998, incremental costs incurred and charged
to expense to identify, test and correct such year 2000 problems are not
material to the consolidated financial statements. Future incremental
expenditures are also not expected to be material to the consolidated financial
statements. At this time, the Company expects that the cost of addressing all
year 2000 issues will not have a material effect upon the Company's financial
position, results of operations, or cash flows in future periods.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At December 31, 1998 the Company had working capital of $29.2 million as
compared to $29.9 million at June 30, 1998, reflecting a decrease in working
capital of $.7 million. The decrease is primarily attributable to an increase in
accounts receivable partially offset by an increase in accounts payable and
borrowings against the Company's working line of credit. Cash and cash
equivalents were $2.3 million as of December 31, 1998 as compared to $3.4
million as of June 30, 1998.

     Net cash used by operating activities for the six months ended December 31,
1998 was $.4 million and consisted primarily of a decrease in accrued expenses
and accounts receivable, offset by an increase in accounts payable and
inventories. Accounts payable and inventory increased due to the level of
inventory purchases relating to the new C3D FIB products being received towards
the end of the quarter.

     Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended December 31,
1998 was $.5 million and consisted primarily of the sale of a demonstration FIB
system offset with an increase in engineering equipment to be used to support
research and development applications.

     Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended December 31,
1998 was $.2 million and consisted primarily of borrowings of $.7 million
against the outstanding balance on the Company's working capital line of credit
offset against repayments by the Company of $.7 million and $.3 million,
respectively against outstanding long-term debt and capital lease obligations.

     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 plus .5% (8.25% at December 31,1998). The line of credit
expires on December 1, 1999 and is secured by the Company's assets and
intellectual property. As of December 31,1998, $4.3 million was outstanding
under the line of credit. In July 1997, the Company entered into a secured
long-term debt loan agreement a 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% (9.25% at December 31, 1998). The agreement
calls for twelve quarterly payments of $666,667 commencing in the quarter ending
September 30, 1998 through the quarter ending June 30, 2001. The outstanding
balance as of February 12, 1999 on the term loan was $6,666,667.

     The Company believes that existing cash balances, together with its
available line of credit, will be sufficient to finance the Company's operations
and meet its foreseeable cash requirements at least through the next twelve
months.
