     Net Sales.  The Company's net sales for the three months ended August 31,
1996 were $38.1 million, an increase of 115.8% over net sales of $17.6 million
for the corresponding period in the prior year. This increase in net sales
resulted primarily from growth in the equipment, parts and expendables segment.
Sales of equipment, parts and expendables increased to $31.2 million or 82.0% of
total sales in the first three months of fiscal 1997 as compared to $11.2
million or 63.7% of total sales in the same period of fiscal 1996. A significant
portion of the growth in this segment was attributable to higher CMP-V sales to
the semiconductor industry as well as a significant increase in sales to the
thin film memory disk media market. Sales of slurries increased slightly to $6.8
million or 18.0% of total sales in the first three months of fiscal 1997 from
$6.4 million or 36.3% of total sales in the comparable period of fiscal 1996.

     Commissions from Affiliate.  Commissions from affiliate increased to $1.7
million during the first quarter of fiscal 1997 from $183,000 in the
corresponding period of fiscal 1996. The increase in the three month period, as
compared to the respective period in fiscal 1996, was due primarily to the
expanding demands in the silicon wafer industry for edge polishing systems
developed and manufactured by the Company's affiliate, SpeedFam Co., Ltd. (Far
East Joint Venture). In addition, sales of cleaning and polishing systems, also
produced by the Far East Joint Venture, to customers in the thin film memory
disk media market increased significantly in the first quarter of fiscal 1997
over the same period in the prior year.

     Gross Margin.  Gross margin increased to $13.9 million or 35.1% of total
revenue for the three months ended August 31, 1996 from $5.1 million or 28.3% of
total revenue for the three months ended August 31, 1995. In addition to higher
sales levels, gross margin has increased due to a considerable shift towards
higher margin products in the equipment, parts and expendables segment,
particularly the CMP-V planarization system.

     Research, Development and Engineering.  Research, development and
engineering expense increased to $3.8 million or 9.5% of total revenue in the
first quarter of fiscal 1997 from $1.2 million or 6.7% of total revenue in the
first quarter of fiscal 1996. This increase is primarily attributable to
continued development of the CMP process, equipment and other related
technologies. The Company believes that increased spending in research,
development and engineering, including technical support services to meet its
customers' needs, is critical to grow sales to the semiconductor and thin film
memory disk industries.

     Selling, General and Administrative.  Selling, general and administrative
expense increased 95.4% to $6.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 from
$3.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1996. For the three month period
ending August 31, 1996, selling, general and administrative expense as a percent
of total revenue decreased to 17.1% compared to 19.5% of total revenue in the
similar period of fiscal 1996 due to the significantly higher level of sales
during the first quarter of fiscal 1997 as compared to the sales level during
the same period of fiscal 1996. However, higher levels of spending were required
to support the sales growth in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 including
additional administrative and sales personnel, new service and sales locations,
and distributor commissions to an affiliate on export sales from the U.S. to the
Far East region.

     Interest Expense.   Interest expense decreased to $78,000 in the first
quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to $271,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1996.
The decrease was due to the significant reduction of long-term debt since the
end of first quarter of fiscal 1996 using funds received primarily in the
initial

                                      -9-

public offering of October 1996.  As a percentage of total revenue,
interest expense decreased to 0.2% in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 from 1.5%
in the comparable prior year period.

     Other Expense, Net.  Other expense increased to $367,000 in the first three
months of fiscal 1997 from $225,000 in the comparable period of fiscal 1996.
The increase is due primarily to non-recurring charges associated with the
Company's secondary equity offering which was subsequently canceled.  These
charges were partially offset by interest income.

     Equity in Net Earnings of Affiliates.  Equity in net earnings of affiliates
increased to $2.2 million for the three months ended August 31, 1996 from
$800,000 in the comparable period of fiscal 1996.  With the gradual recovery of
the general Japanese economy, demand continued to be strong for products sold
to the thin film memory and semiconductor wafer industries by the Far East Joint
Venture.  In addition, the Company's share of the net earnings of its other
joint venture, Fujimi Corporation, were significantly higher than in the
comparable period of fiscal 1996 due to increased sales and improved margins
realized during the first quarter of fiscal 1997 on slurry products sold by that
affiliate to the U.S. silicon wafer market.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     For the first quarter ended August 31, 1996, the Company used $4.4 million
in cash from operating activities primarily to reduce current trade payables to
creditors and affiliates.  Inventories also increased by approximately $3.4
million.  Manufacturing lead times for machines and equipment are measured in
weeks, and result in fluctuating inventory balances depending on timing of
shipments.

     As of September 30, 1996, the Company had spent approximately $4.8 million
in land and construction costs for a new corporate headquarters and
manufacturing facility in Chandler, Arizona. The Company presently estimates the
total costs to be incurred for the project will be approximately $20.3 million.
The current total estimated project cost has increased from previous estimates
due to changes in equipment production capacity and waste neutralization
requirements, power and HVAC demands.

     As of September 13, 1996, the Company had successfully negotiated an
amendment to its existing $22.5 million unsecured credit facility, in which its
U.S. bank group provided the Company an additional $14.0 million in an unsecured
term loan to fund the majority of the remaining costs to construct the new
corporate headquarters and manufacturing facility in Chandler, Arizona.

     The Company believes that anticipated funds provided by operations and
current bank lines of credit will be sufficient to meet the Company's capital
requirements during the next 12 months.

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" was
issued in March 1995 and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 1995.  Management has reviewed the Statement and determined that its
provisions do not have a material effect upon the financial condition or results
of operations of the Company.

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-
Based Compensation Plans" was issued in October 1995.  The Statement will be
effective for the Company's fiscal year 1997.  As allowed by the new Statement,
the Company plans to continue to use Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" in accounting for its stock options.
Certain pro forma and other information will be disclosed in the annual
financial statements as if the Company had measured compensation costs in a
manner consistent with the new Statement.  Management has reviewed the Statement
and determined that its provisions do not have a material effect upon the
financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

     Certain statements in "Management's Discussion and Analysis - Liquidity and
Capital Resources" constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Such forward-looking
statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors
which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company
to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

          scheduled to make payment to the Agent, of (i) in the case of a Bank,

<PAGE>
 
          does not intend to make such payment, the Agent may assume that such
          payment has been made. The Agent may, but shall not be obligated to,
          make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in
          reliance upon such assumption. If such Bank or the Company, as the
          case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Agent, the
          recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Agent, repay to the
          Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in
          respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such
          amount was so made available by the Agent until the date the Agent
          recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (a) in the case of
          payment by a Bank, the federal funds rate for each of the first three
          business days after the date of funding (as determined by the Agent)
          and thereafter at the interest rate applicable to the relevant
          Obligation, or (b) in the case of payment by the Company, the interest
          rate applicable to the relevant Obligation. A statement of the Agent
          submitted to the Company or any Bank with respect to any amounts owing
          under this Section 2.3 shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest
          error. The failure of one of the Banks to make any Revolving Loan,
          Term Loan or loan respecting a draw under a Letter of Credit as
          required hereunder shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligation
          to lend its Pro Rata share of such Revolving Loan, Term Loan or Letter
          of Credit, hereunder, and in no event shall such other Banks or the
          Agent be liable in any way whatsoever to the Company for such failure
          of any Bank to make any Revolving Loan, Term Loan or loan respecting a
          Letter of Credit hereunder."

     2.3  Section 2.4 - Interest After Default. Section 2.4 of the Credit
Agreement is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

               2.4  Interest After Default. After an Event of Default, each of
          the Obligations shall bear interest at the rate of 2% per annum in
          excess of the applicable rates set forth herein; provided, that in the
          case of a LIBOR Rate Loan which is a Revolving Loan the maturity of
          which is accelerated, such LIBOR Rate Loan shall bear interest for the
          remainder of the applicable Loan Period at a

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
          rate equal to 2% plus the higher of the rate on the LIBOR Rate Loan or
          the rate on Revolving Loans which are not LIBOR Rate Loans.  In no
          event shall the interest rate on the Obligations exceed the highest
          rate permitted by law.

     2.4  Section 2.5 - Loan Account. Section 2.5 of the Credit Agreement is
amended by adding the words "and Term Loans" immediately after the words
"Revolving Loans" in the thirteenth line thereof.

     2.5  Section 2.10 - Term Loans.  A new Section 2.10 is added to the Credit
Agreement as follows:

          2.10  Term Loans.
                ---------- 

               (a)  Prior to the Termination Date for Term Loans and so long as
          no Default has occurred, the Banks agree separately and independently
          (and not jointly) to extend to the Company Term Loans in an aggregate
          principal amount not to exceed $14,000,000. Term Loans shall be made
          by each Bank Pro Rata. The Term Loans made by each Bank shall be
          evidenced by their respective Term Notes.

               (b)  The Company may obtain Term Loans by making a request
          therefor to the Agent, orally or in writing. Such request shall
          specify a Business Day prior to September 30, 1997 (the "Construction
          Disbursement Expiration Date") on which such Term Loans are to be made
          (the "Disbursement Date"), shall be received by the Agent by 12:00
          Noon (Milwaukee time) three Business Days before the Disbursement
          Date, and shall specify the amount of the Term Loans requested;
          provided, however, that within three days after any oral request for a
          Term Loan, the Agent shall receive from the Company a written
          confirmation in form acceptable to the Agent confirming the Company's
          Term Loan request, and the Banks' obligation to make further Term
          Loans hereunder shall be suspended until such confirmation has been
          received by the Agent. In the event of any inconsistency between the
          telephonic notice and the written confirmation thereof, the telephonic
          notice shall control. The Company shall be obligated to repay all Term
          Loans notwithstanding the failure of the Agent to receive written
          confirmation, and

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
          notwithstanding the fact that the person requesting the Term Loan was
          not in fact authorized to do so. No Term Loan request shall be
          modified, altered or amended without the prior written consent of the
          Agent. The Company may not request Term Loans in an amount less than
          $500,000 per request and the Company shall not make more than one
          request for Term Loans in any calendar month prior to the Construction
          Disbursement Expiration Date. The Agent shall promptly inform each
          Bank of each Term Loan request. Each Bank shall make available to the
          Agent at its principal office in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in immediately
          available funds and not later than 3:00 p.m. Milwaukee time on the
          Disbursement Date, the amount of such Bank's Pro Rata share of such
          Term Loans. Upon receipt by the Agent of the amount of a Bank's Term
          Loan and fulfillment of the conditions specified in Section 4.2, the
          Agent shall promptly deposit the amount of such Term Loan in the
          general deposit account of the Company maintained at the Agent. At the
          end of each respective Loan Period, the new Loan Period shall be three
          months unless the Agent, by 12:00 Noon (Milwaukee time) and at least
          three Business Days prior to the expiration of the applicable Loan
          Period, is in receipt of a written notice from the Company requesting
          a one or two month period.

               (c)  The Company shall pay all accrued and unpaid interest on the
          Term Loans on the first day of each month commencing on October 1,
          1996, and continuing on the first day of each consecutive month
          thereafter until the Term Loans are paid in full. Prior to an Event of
          Default, interest shall accrue on the aggregate unpaid principal
          amount outstanding under the Term Notes at a rate per annum equal to
          the applicable LIBOR Rate on each LIBOR Rate Loan. Interest shall be
          computed and adjusted daily based on the actual number of days elapsed
          in a year of 360 days. The Company shall pay principal outstanding
          under the Term Notes in fifteen (15) equal quarterly installments of
          $350,000, each payable on the first day of October of 1997, and on the
          first day of each January, April, July and October thereafter, and a
          final payment of the balance of all unpaid principal and accrued
          interest on the Termination Date for the Term Loans.

          Amounts paid or prepaid on the Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

               (d)  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,

          Revolving Loans which are LIBOR Rate Loans and all Term Loans.

          or any other source any payment of, on account of, any of the
          Obligations (whether pursuant to the exercise of any right of setoff,
          banker's lien, realization upon any security held for or appropriated
          to such obligation, counterclaim or otherwise) other than as provided
          above, then such Bank shall immediately purchase, without recourse and

          interest in all of such obligations equal to the percentage interest
          which such Bank held in the relevant Obligations immediately before
          such payment; provided, if any payment so received shall be recovered
          in whole or in part from such purchasing Bank, the purchase shall be
          rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such
