                  FUSION SYSTEMS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)


1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

Fusion Systems Corporation, together with its subsidiaries (the "Company"),
designs, manufactures, markets and services photostabilizers and ashers used to
make semiconductor devices.  The Company also designs, manufactures, markets
and services ultraviolet curing systems used in manufacturing, printing and
coating applications in numerous industries.  The Company's operations are
conducted primarily through two wholly owned subsidiaries, Fusion Semiconductor
Systems Corporation ("Fusion Semiconductor") and Fusion UV Curing Systems
Corporation ("Fusion UV").

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and all of its subsidiaries, after elimination of significant
intercompany transactions and balances.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the
Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission regarding interim financial reporting.  Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements and should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended
December 31, 1995 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1995.  The accompanying financial statements
reflect all adjustments (consisting solely of normal, recurring adjustments)
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of
results for the interim periods presented.  The results of operations for the
three and six month periods ended June 28, 1996 are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.


2.  SHORT-TERM MARKETABLE SECURITIES:

At June 28, 1996, short-term marketable securities consisted of investment
grade commercial paper, U.S. government agency discount notes and Treasury
bills, and are considered by management to be available-for-sale.  These
investments mature at various dates from July 1996 to October 1996.  Because
amortized cost approximates market, no adjustment has been made to
stockholders' equity as a result of changes in market value to these
securities.

number of common equivalent shares outstanding during the periods.  Common
equivalent shares includes the dilutive effect of all options outstanding.

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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Fusion Systems Corporation, together with its subsidiaries (the "Company"),
designs, manufactures, markets and services photostabilizers and ashers used to
make semiconductor devices.  The Company also designs, manufactures, markets
and services ultraviolet curing systems used in manufacturing, printing and
coating applications in numerous industries.  The Company's operations are
conducted primarily through two wholly owned subsidiaries, Fusion Semiconductor
Systems Corporation ("Fusion Semiconductor") and Fusion UV Curing Systems
Corporation ("Fusion UV").

NET REVENUES.  Net revenues, consisting of revenues from system sales, spare
parts and service revenues, increased to $40,058,000 in the quarter ended June
28,1996 from $27,998,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 1995, an increase of
43%. For the first six months of 1996, net revenue increased 45% to $78,696,000
compared to $54,141,000 for the first six months of 1995. The increases were
primarily due to increased shipments rather than price increases.

Fusion Semiconductor net revenues increased to $25,252,000 in the quarter ended
June 28, 1996 from $14,664,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 1995, an increase
of 72%. Net revenues for the six month periods ended June 28, 1996 and June 30,
1995 were $50,020,000 and $28,165,000 respectively, an increase of 78%. The
increases were primarily the result of increased sales of the Company's
Gemini(TM) asher products in North America, Europe and the Pacific Rim.

Fusion UV net revenues increased to $14,806,000 in the quarter ended June 28,
1996 from $13,334,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 1995, an increase of 11%.
Net revenues for the six month periods ended June 28, 1996 and June 30, 1995
were $28,676,000 and $25,976,000, respectively, an increase of 10%. The
increases were primarily due to increased sales of ultraviolet curing
equipment in Europe and Japan.

GROSS PROFIT.  The Company's gross profit as a percentage of net revenues were
56.1% for the quarter ended June 28, 1996 and 56.2% for the quarter ended June
30, 1995. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues for the six month
periods ended June 28, 1996 and June 30, 1995, were 55.3% and 55.0%,
respectively.





                                       9
<PAGE>   10
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE.  Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased 38%, to $9,113,000 in the quarter ended June 28, 1996 from
$6,610,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 1995. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased 46%, to $18,536,000 in the six month period
ended June 28, 1996 from $12,712,000 in the six month period ended June 30,
1995. The increases were primarily due to increased expenditures attributable
to the addition of staff, increases in commissions due to increased sales, and
additional occupancy costs associated with the expansion of its Maryland
facilities. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased as a
percentage of net revenues in the quarter ended June 28, 1996 to 22.8% from
23.6% in the quarter ended June 30, 1995. For the six month period ended June
28, 1996, selling, general and administrative expenses increased as a
percentage of net revenues to 23.6% compared to 23.5% for the six month period
ended June 30, 1995.

RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT AND ENGINEERING.  Research, development and engineering
expenses increased 71%, to $5,554,000 in the quarter ended June 28, 1996 from
$3,255,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 1995 and to 13.9% from 11.6% of net
revenues, respectively.  Research, development and engineering expenses
increased 80%, to $9,973,000 in the six month period ended June 28, 1996 from
$5,540,000 in the six month period ended June 30, 1995 and to 12.7% from 10.2%
of net revenues, respectively. For both the quarter and the six month period,
the increases were primarily attributable to increased staffing for support and
improvement of existing products and the development of the new Gemini(TM)
photostabilizer and advanced Gemini(TM) ashers.

OTHER INCOME, NET.  Other income, net of expenses, was $493,000 and $560,000 in
the quarters ended June 28, 1996 and June 30, 1995, respectively, and
$1,028,000 and $1,204,000 in the six month periods ended June 28, 1996 and June
30, 1995, respectively.  The reduction in interest income was due to the use of
cash for working capital and the Company's capital expansion program along with
a reduction in the available investment rates for excess cash.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES.  The Company's effective tax rate decreased to
approximately 37.5% for the quarter and six month periods ended June 28, 1996
from 38.5% for the quarter and six month periods ended June 30, 1995.  The
decrease was primarily due to the benefit provided by the utilization of a
Foreign Sales Corporation.

NET INCOME.  Net income and earnings per share each increased 31%, to
$5,182,000 and $.64 for the quarter ended June 28, 1996 from $3,959,000 and
$.49 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995. Net income and earnings per share
each increased 28%, to $9,999,000 and $1.24 for the six month period ended June
28, 1996 from $7,837,000 and $.97 for the six month period ended June 30, 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's cash and securities were $26.7 million as of June 28, 1996, $11.2
lower than the $37.9 million available at December 31, 1995. The Company's cash
needs are primarily to fund growth in inventory and accounts receivable and to
fund its capital expenditure program. The Company's accounts receivable and
inventory have grown due to the increase in sales volume over the prior year.





                                       10
<PAGE>   11
The Company's capital requirements typically consist of manufacturing
equipment, research and development equipment, office equipment, leasehold
improvements, computers, furniture and fixtures.  Capital expenditures were
$8,944,000 and $2,672,000, in the six month periods ended June 28, 1996 and
June 30, 1995, respectively.

The Company is in the process of expanding its facilities and adding
specialized manufacturing, engineering and research and development
capabilities.  During the first quarter, Fusion UV completed its relocation to
a new facility near the Company's existing facility.  Fusion Semiconductor is
continuing its expansion program in the existing facility made available by
Fusion UV's relocation. Fusion Semiconductor's expansion is presently expected
to be completed by the third quarter of 1996. The Company is continuing to
develop its plan for expanson in Korea in 1997.

Management expects that existing working capital and cash from operations will
be sufficient to meet its working capital and other operating expenditure
requirements for the foreseeable future.

OUTLOOK

The outlook for sales of the Company's products in the second half of 1996
remains strong for the UV Curing business but is weaker than the first half for
the Semiconductor business.

The semiconductor capital equipment market has recently been experiencing a
slowdown in the rate of orders, as well as order cancellations and shipment
delays from customers due to market conditions. The Company is not immune to
these market conditions and currently expects some weakness in sales and, as a
result, pressure on its operating margins in the second half of the year.
Management believes the Semiconductor business is well positioned with its new
product lines and presently believes that these general market conditions will
improve some time in 1997.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS

     In addition to the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q, the following cautionary statements should be considered carefully in
evaluating the Company and its business.  Information provided by the Company
from time to time may contain certain "forward-looking" information, as that
term is defined by (i)  the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
(the "Act") and (ii)  in releases made by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC").  The factors discussed in these cautionary statements,
among other factors, could cause actual results to differ materially from those
contained in forward-looking statements made in this report and presented
elsewhere by management from time to time.  These cautionary statements are
being made pursuant to the provisions of the Act and with the intention of
obtaining the benefits of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Act.  Reference
is also made to the "Risk Factors" described in the Company's Prospectus dated
October 5, 1994.

VARIABILITY OF QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS.  The Company's quarterly operating
results may vary significantly from quarter to quarter, depending upon factors
such as the timing of product sales and the receipt of orders from major
customers, production difficulties causing delayed shipments, the proportion of
international sales, specific economic conditions in the semiconductor
industry, the mix of products sold by the Company and competitive pricing
pressures.  Because a high percentage of the Company's expenses are relatively
fixed in the





                                       11
<PAGE>   12
near term, minor variations in the timing of orders and shipments can cause
significant variations in quarterly operating results.  All orders are subject
to cancellation or rescheduling by the customer with limited or no penalties,
and the Company's ability to accurately forecast future revenues and income for
any period is necessarily limited. Industry trends in the semiconductor markets
can sometimes cause sudden and significant order cancellations or pushouts of
orders. Any forward-looking information provided from time to time by the
Company represents only management's then-best current estimate of future
results or trends, and actual results may differ materially from those
contained in the Company's estimates.

POTENTIAL VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE.  There has been significant volatility in
the market price of securities of high technology companies.  The Company
believes factors such as announcements of new product enhancements by the
Company or its competitors, quarterly fluctuations in the Company's financial
results or other manufacturer's financial results, shortfalls in the Company's
actual financial results compared to results previously forecasted by stock
market analysts, general conditions in the semiconductor industry and other
industries in which the Company participates, and conditions in the financial
markets could cause the market price of the Common Stock to fluctuate
substantially.  These market fluctuations may adversely affect the price of the
Company's Common Stock.

CYCLICALITY OF THE SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY.  The Company's semiconductor
equipment business, which in 1995 accounted for approximately 53% of total net
revenues and approximately 61% of total operating income before corporate
expenses, depends in large part upon the capital equipment expenditures of
semiconductor manufacturers which, in turn, depend on the current and
anticipated market demand for integrated circuits and products utilizing
integrated circuits.  The semiconductor industry is highly cyclical and has
historically experienced periodic downturns, which often have had a severe
adverse effect on capital equipment expenditures by semiconductor
manufacturers.  Semiconductor industry downturns have adversely affected the
sales, gross profit, and operating results of semiconductor equipment
suppliers, including Fusion Semiconductor.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS.  Sales outside North America
accounted for approximately 47% of the Company's total net revenues in fiscal
1995, approximately 43% of the Company's total net revenues in fiscal 1994 and
approximately 44% of the Company's total net revenues in fiscal 1993, and may
continue to represent a significant portion of the Company's revenues.  Any
decrease in sales outside North America may have a material adverse effect on
the Company's operating results.  The Company's international business and
financial performance may be affected by fluctuations in interest and currency
exchange rates, by trade restrictions, longer payment cycles typically
associated with international sales and changes in tariffs and taxes, among
other factors.

RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE; COMPETITION.  Equipment and processes used in UV
curing and semiconductor manufacturing are subject to rapid technological
development and product innovation.  The Company, to remain successful, must be
responsive to new developments in photostabilization and asher technology,
"white space" product technology and enhanced process capabilities.  The
Company's financial results may be negatively impacted by the failure of new or
existing products in both segments to be favorably received by manufacturers
and other customers due to price, availability, features, other product choices
or the level and quality of support for the Company's products.





                                       12
<PAGE>   13
RELIANCE ON ATTRACTING AND RETAINING KEY EMPLOYEES.  The Company's continued
success will depend in large part on its ability to attract and retain
highly-qualified technical, managerial, sales and marketing, and other
personnel.  Competition for such personnel in the Company's industry is
intense.  None of the senior management of the Company is subject to an
employment contract.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able
to continue to attract or retain such personnel.
