(3) SPLIT OFF OF TELEPARTS SUBSIDIARY

    In September 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to distribute all
    of the shares of Teleparts International, Inc., its former wholly-owned
    subsidiary, to the Company's former CEO in exchange for 30,000 shares of the
    Company's common stock. The book value of the net assets of Teleparts at the
    date of distribution was approximately $288,000 and the fair market value of
    the 30,000 shares of the Company's common stock was approximately $420,000.
    Because of the significant ownership in the Company by the former CEO
    (approximately 9%, prior to the redemption), the transaction was recorded at
    the book value of the assets exchanged and no gain was recorded.

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

Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed 
in this Form 10-Q include forward-looking statements which are subject to a 
number of risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to 
differ materially from the statements made.  These include, but are not 
limited to, the matters discussed below and under "Item 7 - Future 
Performance and Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for 
the year ended June 30, 1996. These forward-looking statements represent the 
Company's judgment as of the date of the filing of this 10-Q report.  The 
Company disclaims, however, any intent or obligation to update these 
forward-looking statements.

OVERVIEW

The Company was incorporated in 1985 to provide third party sales of spare 
parts for certain silicon wafer processing and semiconductor manufacturing 
equipment.  In 1990, the Company changed its focus and began developing a 
wafer cleaning system.  Sales of the Company's cleaning systems have 
increased as new wafer processing requirements, such as CMP, have driven the 
need for improved cleaning processes.  As of June 30, 1996, the Company had 
shipped over 300 cleaning systems to customers worldwide.

The Company has been undergoing a period of rapid growth.  The Company has 
significantly increased its operations to support increased revenues, 
including the hiring of additional personnel, and has made substantial 
investments in research, development and engineering to support product 
development.  The Company's expansion has resulted in significantly higher 
operating expenses and the Company expects that its operating expenses will 
continue to increase significantly.  

The Company's CMP polishing system, the Aurora, is currently under 
development.  This development has resulted in a significant increase in 
research, development, and engineering expenses and a corresponding decrease 
in operating margins.  There can be no assurance that the Company will not 
experience difficulties or delays in developing the polishing system, that 
such efforts will be successful or that the polishing system will satisfy 
customer requirements or achieve market acceptance.

The Company's operating results have varied significantly, particularly on a 
quarterly basis, as a result of a number of factors, including general 
economic conditions affecting industry demand for semiconductor and 
semiconductor equipment products; the timing and market acceptance of new 
product introductions by the Company and its competitors; and the timing of 
significant orders from and shipments to large customers.  The Company's 
operating results may fluctuate in the future as a result of these and other 
factors, including continued acceptance of the Company's products, the 
Company's success in developing and introducing new products, its product and 
customer mix, the level of competition which it experiences, and its success 
in completing development of and marketing its CMP polishing system under 
development.  The Company derives a substantial portion of its revenues from 
the sale of a relatively small number of systems which range in purchase 
price from approximately $150,000 to $525,000.  As a result, a small 
reduction in the number of systems shipped in a quarter could have a material 
adverse effect on the Company's revenues and results of operations for that 
quarter.

The Company's gross margins have been and will continue to be affected by a 
variety of factors, including the mix and average selling prices of systems, 
the mix of customers, the costs associated with new system introductions and 
enhancements, and the customization of systems.  In addition, sales to 
international distributors in Europe and Japan are at discounted prices which 
reduce gross margins.  Gross margins for initial shipments of new products 
are typically lower than those for mature products until volume manufacturing 
is achieved due to the inefficiencies associated with the start-up of 
manufacturing operations.

The Company's international sales are denominated in U.S. dollars, and an 
increase or decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign 
currencies could make the Company's products less or more price competitive 
in those markets and therefore affect sales to international customers.  
During fiscal 1996 and 1995, approximately 32% and 27% of the Company's 
revenues were attributable to sales for installation in semiconductor 
fabrication facilities outside the United States.

The market price of the Company's Common Stock has fluctuated since its 
initial public offering in July 1995 and is subject to material fluctuation 
in the future in response to a variety of factors, including: quarter to 
quarter variations in operating results; announcements of developments 
related to the Company's business; fluctuations in the Company's order 
levels; general conditions in the semiconductor industry or the worldwide 
economy; announcements of technological innovations; new products or product 
enhancements by the Company or its competitors; developments relating to 
patents or other intellectual property rights or disputes; and developments 
in the Company's relationships with its customers, distributors and 
suppliers. In addition, in recent years the stock market in general, and the 
market for shares of small capitalization stocks in particular, has 
experienced extreme price fluctuations which have often been unrelated to the 
operating performance of affected companies.  Such fluctuations could 
adversely affect the market price of the Company's Common Stock.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS         

NET REVENUES.  Net revenues are derived primarily from system sales.  Net 
revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 were $16.5 million, an 
increase of 57% compared to net revenues of $10.5 million for the prior 
year's comparable period. The increase was primarily due to higher unit sales 
of the Company's post-CMP cleaning systems.  System shipments for the quarter 
ended September 30, 1996 increased by 36% over the comparable period in the 
prior year.

International sales accounted for 39% of net revenues in the quarter ended 
September 30, 1996, as compared to 36% for the prior year's comparable 
period.  The increase in the percentage of international sales was primarily 
attributable to increased system shipments to customers in the Pacific Rim.  
Sales to customers in the Pacific Rim increased to $3.0 million during the 
quarter ended September 30, 1996, as compared to $1.0 million for the prior 
year's comparable period.  It is expected that the percentage of 
international sales will continue to increase during the current year as 
compared to the year ended June 30, 1996. 

GROSS MARGIN.  Gross margin was 52% in each of the quarters ended September 
30, 1996 and 1995. The factors which affected gross margins were not 
significantly different between the two periods.

RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, AND ENGINEERING.  Research, development, and 
engineering expenses increased to $4.6 million, or 28% of net revenues, for 
the quarter ended September 30, 1996, from $2.5 million, or 24% of net 
revenues, for the prior year's comparable period.  The increase was primarily 
attributable to the Company's continued development of a CMP polishing 
system.  It is anticipated that research, development, and engineering 
expenses will remain at a relatively high percentage of revenues until the 
polishing system is in commercial production.

SELLING, GENERAL, AND ADMINISTRATIVE.  Selling, general, and administrative 
expenses increased to $2.7 million, or 16% of net revenues, for the quarter 
ended September 30, 1996, from $1.9 million, or 18% of net revenues, for the 
prior year's comparable period.  The increase in absolute dollars is 
primarily due to increased selling and marketing activities as the Company 
expands its sales and marketing organization.  However, these expenses 
decreased as a percentage of net revenues due to a higher growth in sales.

INCOME TAXES.  The Company's effective tax rate for the quarter ended 
September 30, 1996 was 33%, as compared to 35% for the comparable period in 
the prior year.   The decrease was primarily attributable to the 
reinstatement of the federal research and development credit and variations 
in the Company's worldwide sales mix.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the quarter ended September 30, 1996, cash and cash equivalents 
decreased by $0.7 million, from $24.2 million at June 30, 1996 to $23.5 
million at September 30, 1996.  This decrease consisted primarily of $1.0 
million used for investing activities, offset by $0.3 million provided by 
financing activities.  The cash used for investing activities of $1.0 million 
represents the investment of $2.1 million in property, plant, and equipment 
during the period, offset by the net redemption of short-term investments of 
approximately $1.1 million.

Changes in operating assets and liabilities consisted primarily of increases 
of $2.2 million in accounts receivable and $0.6 million in inventory, which 
reflects the Company's increased manufacturing activities and sales levels.  
The Company expects future inventory levels to fluctuate with anticipated 
sales levels and believes that because of the relatively long manufacturing 
cycle of its systems, its investment in inventory will continue to represent 
a significant portion of working capital.  As a result of such investment in 
inventories, the Company may be subject to an increased risk of inventory 
obsolescence, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's 
operating results.

At September 30, 1996, the Company had working capital of $45.7 million, with 
its primary source of liquidity provided by $34.7 million in cash and 
short-term investments.  Additionally, the Company has a $10.0 million 
working capital line of credit agreement that expires in November 1996, which 
the Company intends to renew for an additional one year period.  The Company 
has no outstanding borrowings under the line of credit.  The Company believes 
that its existing cash and cash equivalents, anticipated cash flow from 
operations, and funds available under the line of credit agreement will be 
sufficient to meet the Company's cash requirements during the next twelve 
months. However, after that period, depending upon its rate of growth and 
profitability, the Company may require additional equity or debt financing to 
meet its working capital and fixed asset requirements.  There can be no 
assurance that additional financing will be available when required or, if 
available, will be on terms satisfactory to the Company.

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

In April 1996, Homayoun Talieh, who was the Company's Vice President, CMP 
Systems Division through September 1995, filed a demand for arbitration 
pursuant to an employment agreement between the Company and Mr. Talieh.  
Mr. Talieh seeks unspecified damages allegedly based on his employment contract
and upon allegations that he was wrongfully terminated.  The initial 
arbitration hearing was held in October 1996, and a second hearing has been 
scheduled for November 1996.  The Company intends to defend the action 
vigorously, and believes that the outcome of the arbitration will not have a 
material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.
