                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Formation and Business of the Company

   Smart Machines, Inc. (the "Company") was started as a partnership on October
1, 1994, and incorporated on May 16, 1995. Concurrent with the initial sale of
preferred stock, the Company issued 500,000 shares of Series A preferred stock
and 2,860,000 shares of common stock to the founders in exchange for their
interest in the partnership. Operations from October 1, 1994 to December 31,
1994 were insignificant. To date, the Company has been primarily involved in
developing its semiconductor manufacturing equipment technology, recruiting
personnel and raising capital.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of estimates

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to makes estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Basis of presentation

   The Company's financial statements have been prepared on a basis which
contemplates realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the
normal course of business. The Company has incurred operating losses and
negative cash flows from operations since inception. As a development stage
company, Smart Machines Inc.'s ability to continue as a going concern is highly
dependent, among other factors, on its ability to complete the development and
commercialization of its products, obtain sufficient financing to produce the
products, and obtain adequate customers for its products. The Company is
currently pursuing additional funding to further the development of its
products and markets. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or
the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should
the Company be unable to continue in existence.

Financial instruments

   Amounts reported for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable,
receivable from related parties, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities
are considered to approximate fair value primarily due to their short
maturities.

Cash and cash equivalents

   The Company's policy is to invest cash in excess of operating requirements
in interest-bearing investments with maturities of one year or less.
Investments with original or remaining maturities of three months or less at
the date of purchase are included in cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash
equivalents at December 31, 1998 include approximately $1,300,000 held in two
demand accounts with two financial institutions. Cash and cash equivalents at
December 31, 1997 included $1,485,558 in commercial paper of U.S. companies
maturing in January through March 1998, whose fair value approximated the
carrying value, and approximately $593,000 held in four demand accounts with
the two financial institutions. Deposits in these banks may exceed the amount
of insurance provided on such deposits. The Company has not experienced any
losses on its cash and cash equivalents.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)


Inventories

   Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (standard cost which
approximates first-in, first-out basis) or market.

Depreciation and amortization

   Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the related assets (generally three years). Leasehold
improvements are amortized over their estimated useful lives or the remaining
lease term, whichever is less.

Revenue recognition

   Revenue from product sales are recorded upon shipment to the customer
provided that no significant obligations remain and collection of the related
receivable is probable. When insignificant obligations remain after shipment of
the product, Smart Machines accrues the estimated costs of such obligations
upon shipment. A provision for product warranty costs is recorded at the time
of sale. In the event significant post-shipment obligations or uncertainties
remain, revenue is deferred and recognized when such obligations are fulfilled
by Smart Machines or the uncertainties are resolved.

Significant Customers

   In 1998 the Company had revenues from five customers that represented 12%,
12%, 18%, 21%, and 20% of revenues and in 1997 the Company had revenues from
four customers that represented 11%, 15%, 16%, and 40% of revenues.

Earnings Per Share

   Earnings per share has been calculated in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share," Basic earnings
per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated based
on the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common equivalent
shares assumed outstanding during the period. Shared used to compute diluted
earnings per share in loss years exclude common share equivalents, as their
inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect.

Stock-based compensation

   The Company accounts for its stock based compensation in accordance with the
provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees," with the pro forma disclosures required by Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation."

Research and Development and Software Development Costs

   Costs incurred in the research and development of the Company's products are
expensed as incurred, except for certain software development costs. Software
development costs are expensed prior to establishing technological feasibility
and capitalized thereafter until the related product is available for general
release to customers. Capitalized software development costs are amortized to
cost of sales on a product-by-product basis over the estimated lives of the
related products.

Income taxes

   The Company reports income taxes in accordance with the liability method
whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are calculated at the
balance sheet date using current tax laws and rates in effect.

or acquisition of the Company in which more than 50% of the voting power is
disposed of, unless the warrants are assumed by the surviving entity. The
Company also issued warrants to purchase 10,000 shares of Series C preferred
stock at $3.50 per share, exercisable at any time and expiring on September 30,
2006.

   The Company reserved 961,234 shares of Series E, 57,182 shares of Series D

Common stock

   Common stock held by the Company's founders and employees is subject to
stock purchase agreements whereby the Company has the option to repurchase
unvested shares upon termination of employment at the initial issuance price.
These shares generally vest as follows: 12.5% at the date of the agreement and
2.0833% per month thereafter in the case of founders, and 25% one year from the
date of the agreement and 2.0833% per month thereafter in the case of other
employees. At December 31, 1998, 321,142 shares of common stock remain subject
to repurchase by the Company. The Company has the right of first refusal should
any shareholder decide to sell shares. The Company, the Series D preferred
shareholders and the holders of promissory notes convertible into Series D
preferred stock also have the right of first refusal and the right to
participate in the sale, should any founder decide to sell shares.

Stock Option Plan

   During 1996, the Company adopted the 1996 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") and
reserved 619,689 shares for issuance under the Plan. In April 1997 and February
1998, the shareholders approved increases in shares reserved for issuance under
the Plan to 1,119,689 and 1,419,689 shares respectively. Management allocated
100,000 of these shares for issuance to employees under a special incentive
plan. 49,988 of the incentive plan shares were issued in 1998; the remaining
50,012 shares are included in shares available under the Plan at December 31,
1998. Under the Plan, incentive options to purchase the Company's common stock
may be granted to employees at prices not lower than fair market value at the
date of grant (110% of fair market value in certain instances), as determined
by the Board of Directors. Nonqualified stock options may be granted to
employees, directors and consultants at prices not less than 85% of fair market
value at the date of grant, as determined by the Board of Directors. The Board
of Directors also has the authority to set the term of the options (no longer
than ten years from the date of grant, five years in certain instances).
Options generally vest at a rate of 25% one year from the vesting date, and
2.0833% per month thereafter and expire in five to ten years. Unexercised
options expire 30 days after termination of employment or consultancy with the
Company.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)


   No options were exercisable at December 31, 1996.

   No compensation cost has been recognized for the Plan in the financial
statements. Had compensation cost for the Plan been determined based on the
fair value of the options at the grant date consistent with the provisions of
SFAS 123, it would not result in a significant difference from the reported net
loss for 1998, 1997, and 1996. However, such differences may not be
representative of future compensation cost because options vest over several
years and additional grants are made each year.

11. Earnings per share

   The following table is a summary of shares used in calculating basic and
diluted earnings per share:

12. Income Taxes

   At December 31, 1998, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $7,453,000 and $5,549,000 available to reduce future federal and
state taxable income, respectively. The carryforwards expire by the year 2013
for federal and 2003 for state tax purposes unless utilized.

   For federal and state tax purposes, the Company's net operating loss
carryforwards may be subject to an annual utilization limitation in case of a
change in stock ownership, as defined by federal and state tax law.

   Temporary differences which gave rise to significant portions of deferred
tax assets are as follows:

</TABLE>

   A valuation allowance must be established for a deferred tax asset if a tax
benefit may not be realized from the asset. The Company has established a 100%
valuation allowance to the extent of its deferred tax assets as no immediate
benefit is expected to be received due to the Company's recurring losses. The
changes in the valuation allowance during 1998 and 1997 were increases of
$1,900,000 and $1,503,000, respectively.

13. Employee Benefit Plan

   Effective January 1, 1995, the Company adopted a plan (the "Plan"), which is
intended to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
The Plan covers essentially all employees. Eligible employees may make
voluntary contributions to the Plan up to 20% of their annual eligible
compensation.

14. Related Party Transactions

   A shareholder and member of the Company's Board of Directors is also a
shareholder of Xulu Entertainment, Inc. ("Xulu"). The Company subleased part of
its facility to Xulu and provided certain clerical support until May 1998, when
Xulu left the premises. The expense charged to Xulu for the years ended
December 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996, and the cumulative period from October 1,
1994 (date of inception) to December  31, 1998 was $109,149, $201,327 and
$110,744, and $429,587, respectively.

   In January 1997, the Company entered into a revolving credit agreement with
its president and chief executive officer, who is also a shareholder, which
allows for borrowings up to $400,000 for working capital. Borrowings are
subordinated to the note payable to bank discussed in Note 5, bear interest at
the Silicon Valley Bank's prime rate plus 2% per annum, payable semi-annually,
mature after one year, and are collateralized by the Company's assets. During
1997, the Company borrowed $100,000 under this agreement. This amount, plus
accrued interest thereon, was repaid during the year.

   In connection with this agreement, the Company issued a warrant to purchase
25,000 shares of Series C preferred stock at $3.50 per share, exercisable at
any time and expiring on January 9, 2002. The Company reserved 25,000 shares of
Series C preferred stock in the event of issuance.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Smart Machines Inc.

   In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets and the related statements
of operations, of changes in nonredeemable preferred stock and shareholders'
equity (deficit) and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of Smart Machines Inc. (a company in the development
stage) at December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the results of their operations and
their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1998, and for the cumulative period from October 1, 1994 (date of inception) to
December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
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 audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the
opinion expressed above.

   The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the
financial statements, the Company is in the development stage and has not yet
generated significant revenues and, as a result, has incurred losses and
negative cash flows from operations since inception that raise substantial
doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

4. SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS

   For the three months ended March 31, 1999, Smart Machines had revenues from
four customers representing 19%, 20%, 30% and 31% of revenues and for the three
months ended March 31, 1998, Smart Machines had revenues from one customer
representing 98% of revenues.

5. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

   In July 1999 Smart Machines entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger
with Brooks Automation, Inc. This merger is expected to be accounted for as a
pooling-of-interests. Brooks Automation is based in Massachusetts and
manufacturers process tool automation, components, systems and factory
automation software for the semiconductor, flat panel and disk drive
industries.


<PAGE>

                            BROOKS AUTOMATION, INC.

        UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial
statements give effect to the Merger of Brooks Automation, Inc. ("Brooks") and
Smart Machines Inc. ("Smart Machines") which was accounted for as a pooling of
interests. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet
presents the combined financial position of Brooks and Smart Machines as of
March 31, 1999, assuming that the merger had occurred as of March 31, 1999. Such
pro forma information is based upon the historical balance sheets of Brooks and
Smart Machines as of that date. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
statements of operations give effect to the merger of Brooks and Smart Machines
by combining the results of operations of Brooks for the three years ended
September 30, 1998, and the six months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, with the
results of operations of Smart Machines for the three years ended December 31,
1998, and the six months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, on a
pooling-of-interests basis.

   The operations of Smart Machines, Inc. for the three months ended December
31, 1998, resulting in net revenues of $244,000 and a net loss of $1,613,000,
have been included in the pro forma statements of income for the year ended
September 30, 1998, and for the six-month period ended March 31, 1999. The
operations of Smart Machines for the three months ended December 31, 1997,
resulting in net revenues of $127,000 and a net loss of $1,224,000, have been
included in the pro forma statements of income for the year ended September 30,
1997, and for the six-month period ended March 31, 1998.

   On July 6, 1999, Brooks filed Form 8-K/A to give the effect of the
acquisition of Hanyon Technologies, Inc., ("Hanyon") by Brooks, which was
accounted for under the purchase method. The pro forma information filed in
that Form 8-K/A, has been used in lieu of the historical information for Brooks
in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31,
1999, and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of
operations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998, and the six months
ended March 31, 1999.

   The unaudited pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the separate audited financial statements and notes thereto of Brooks
included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30,
1998, the unaudited financial information included in Brooks' Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 1999 and June 30, 1999,
and the historical financial statements and notes thereto of Smart Machines
contained herein and Hanyon contained in Brooks' Form 8-K/A filed on July 6,
1999 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

   Brooks and Smart Machines estimate that they will incur direct transaction
costs of approximately $750,000 associated with the Merger, which will be
charged to operations as incurred. There can be no assurance that the combined
company will not incur additional charges to reflect costs associated with the
Merger or that management will be successful in its efforts to integrate the
operations of the two companies.

   The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information set forth
below is presented for illustrative purposes only, and is not necessarily
indicative of the financial position or results of operations that would have
actually been reported had the Merger occurred at the beginning of the periods
presented, nor is it necessarily indicative of the future financial position or

                     NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED

                       CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. PRO FORMA BASIS OF PRESENTATION

   These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements give
effect to the Merger as if it had occurred at the beginning of the earliest
period presented. The shares issued were based upon a purchase price of $14.2
million minus the outstanding obligations of Smart Machines under its existing
third party credit facility. There were 478,000 shares of Brooks common stock,
at $27.49 per share, issued in exchange for all of the Smart Machines
outstanding common stock, preferred stock, and convertible notes and related
interest. For the purposes of these pro forma condensed consolidated financial
statements, the price per share of the Books common stock was based upon the
average of the closing price for Brooks common stock on the Nasdaq National
Market for the 20 consecutive trading-day period ending July 29, 1999. In
addition, all outstanding options and warrants to purchase Smart Machines
capital stock will be exchanged for options and warrants to purchase Brooks
common stock, based on the Capital Stock Conversion Ratios of $0.015, $0.0370,
$0.1111, $0.1296, 0.1296 for Common Stock, Preferred Stock Series A, Preferred
Stock Series B, Preferred Stock Series C and Preferred Stock Series D,
respectively. As of March 31, 1999, options to purchase a total of 480,617
shares and warrants to purchase a total of 592,064 shares of Smart Machines
common stock were outstanding.

   On July 6, 1999, Brooks filed Form 8-K/A to give the effect of the
acquisition of Hanyon Technologies, Inc., by Brooks, which was accounted for
under the purchase method. The pro forma information filed in that Form 8-K/A,
has been used in lieu of the historical information for Brooks in the unaudited
pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1999, and in the
unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 1998, and the six months ended March 31, 1999.

   The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements give
effect to the Merger on a retroactive basis. The unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1999, gives effect to the Merger as
if it had occurred on March 31, 1999, and combines the pro forma balance sheet
of Brooks and the unaudited historical balance sheet of Smart Machines as of
March 31, 1999. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of
operations give effect to the Merger as if it had occurred at the beginning of
the earliest period presented. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
statements of operations for the fiscal years ended September 30, 1998, 1997,
and 1996, and the six months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, combine the
historical results of operations of Brooks for the fiscal years ended September
30, 1998, 1997, and 1996, and the six months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998,
with the historical results of operations of Smart Machines for the three years
ended December 31, 1998, and the six months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively, on a pooling-of-interests basis.

   The operations of Smart Machines for the three months ended December 31,
1998, resulting in net revenues of $244,000 and a net loss of $1,613,000, have
been included in the pro forma statements of income for the year ended
September 30, 1998, and for the six-month period ended March 31, 1999. The
operations of Smart Machines for the three months ended December 31, 1997,
resulting in net sales of $127,000 and a net loss of $1,224,000, have been
included in the pro forma statements of income for the year ended September 30,
1997, and for the six-month period ended March 31, 1998.

2. PRO FORMA EARNINGS PER SHARE

   The unaudited pro forma combined earnings per share information is based
upon the weighted average number of common and dilutive potential common shares
outstanding of Brooks and Smart Machines for each period presented, giving
effect to the Merger as if it occurred at the beginning of the earliest period
presented, using the per share price for Brooks common stock of $27.49 and a
purchase price of $14.2 million minus the outstanding obligations of Smart
Machines under its existing third party credit facility.

                 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)


3. CONFORMING ADJUSTMENTS AND INTERCOMPANY TRANSACTIONS

   There were no material adjustments required to conform the accounting
policies of Brooks and Smart Machines. There are no material intercompany
transactions included in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
financial statements.

4. TRANSACTION COSTS

   It is estimated that the combined company will incur charges to operations
of approximately $750,000 representing direct transaction costs of the Merger,
primarily for accounting and legal fees. The estimated charge is reflected in
the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as March 31, 1999, but is
not reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of
operations. These nonrecurring transaction costs will be charged to operations
as incurred. These costs reflect a preliminary estimate only, and therefore,
are subject to change.

   It is expected that following the Merger, the combined company will incur
additional significant costs associated with integrating the two companies,
which amounts will be charged to operations as incurred. The amount of such
costs is not currently reasonably estimable and, accordingly, the amount has
not been reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance
sheet as of March 31, 1999. There can be no assurance that the combined company
will not incur additional material charges to reflect costs associated with the
Merger or that management will be successful in its efforts to integrate the
operations of the two companies.
