                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


     The Board of Trustees of
     SpeedFam International, Inc. Employees'
        Savings and Profit Sharing Plan and Trust:


     We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for plan
     benefits of SpeedFam International, Inc. Employees' Savings and Profit
     Sharing Plan and Trust (the Plan) as of May 31, 1998, and the related
     statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the year
     then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's
     management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
     statements based on our audit. The accompanying statement of net assets
     available for plan benefits of the SpeedFam International, Inc. Employees'
     Savings and Profit Sharing Plan and Trust as of May 31, 1997 and the relate
     statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the year
     then ended were audited by other auditors whose report thereon dated August
     20, 1997, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

     We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
     standards. Those standards 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. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
     and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
     overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit
     provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
     in all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits as of
     May 31, 1998, and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for
     the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
     principles.

     Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the May
     31, 1998 basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental
     information included in Schedules 1 and 2 is presented for the purpose of
     additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial
     statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of
     Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the
     Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The fund information in
     the statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the
     year ended May 31, 1998 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis
     rather than to present the changes in net assets available for plan
     benefits of each fund. The supplemental schedules and fund information have
     been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the May
     31, 1998 basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated
     in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements
     taken as a whole.

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits
of SpeedFam International, Inc. Employees' Savings and Profit Sharing Plan and
Trust as of May 31, 1997 and the related statement of changes in net assets
available for benefits for the year then ended. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted out audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards 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. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
May 31, 1997, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year
then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

 (1)    PLAN DESCRIPTION

        The following brief description of the SpeedFam International, Inc.
        Employees' Savings and Profit Sharing Plan and Trust (the Plan) is
        provided for general information purposes only. Participants should
        refer to the plan agreement for more complete information. The Plan is
        subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
        of 1974 (ERISA).

        (a)   The Plan is a defined contribution plan established by SpeedFam
              International, Inc. and any of its affiliates and subsidiaries
              (the Company) that adopt the plan.

        (b)   Employees of the Company are eligible to participate in the 401(k)
              provisions of the Plan as of the first day of June or December
              after commencing employment, and in the profit sharing provisions
              of the Plan as of the first day after commencing employment.

        (c)   Participants' accounts are 100% vested. Company accounts become
              100% vested at the date of retirement, death, disability, or, in
              the event of earlier resignation or dismissal, at various rates
              from 20% to 100% based upon years of service ranging from 2 to 6
              years.

        (d)   Benefits may be distributed in any one of the following methods:
              (i) lump sum; (ii) periodic payments; or (iii) purchase of a joint
              and survivor annuity contract.

        (e)   Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct employee
              contributions in any of five investment options, as summarized
              below:

              -   Norwest Stable Return Fund - invests in high yielding
                  instruments such as guaranteed investment contracts (GIC's),
                  GIC alternatives, marketable securities and money market
                  investments.

              -   Norwest Stable Income Fund - invests in marketable and fixed
                  income securities (bonds) that provide low price fluctuation
                  while achieving a competitive yield.

              -   Norwest Index Fund - invests in common stocks which comprise
                  the Standard & Poor's 500 Index.

              -   Norwest Small Cap Opportunities Fund - invests in equity
                  securities using a bottom-up, research-intensive-approach
                  which identifies under followed securities where a shift or
                  change in the fundamental policies of the Company has not yet
                  been reflected in stock prices.

              -   Balanced Fund - invests in common stock and maintains an
                  investment in the stock of the Company.


 (2)    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        (a)   FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

        The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual
        basis of accounting and present the net assets available for plan
        benefits and the changes in those net assets.

        (b)   INVESTMENTS

        The Plan's investments are stated at fair value. Participant loans
        receivable are valued at cost which approximates fair value. Gain or
        loss on disposal of investment securities is determined on an average
        cost basis.

        Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.
        Interest income is recorded when earned. Dividends are recorded on the
        ex-dividend date.

        (c)   USE OF ESTIMATES

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
        accepted accounting principles requires the Plan Administrator to make
        estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets
        available for plan benefits at the date of the financial statements and
        the reported amounts of additions and deductions during the reporting
        period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


 (3)    INVESTMENTS

        At May 31, the following investments, at fair value, represented 5% or
more of the Plan's net assets:

 (4)    BENEFITS

        Participants are immediately vested in their voluntary contributions and
        Company matching contributions, plus actual earnings thereon. A

        of their account plus earnings thereon upon six years of service, normal
        retirement at age 65, or permanent disability or death prior to
        retirement. If employment is terminated prior to six years of service,
        vesting is determined in accordance with the following schedule:

</TABLE>

        The plan agreement specifies that forfeitures are allocated according to
        the ratio of each participant's compensation to the total of all
        participants' compensation.

        Benefits are distributed in either a lump-sum payment following
        termination or retirement date (but not later than age 70-1/2 years) or
        in payments of principal in periodic installments over a period not to
        exceed the joint life expectancy of the participants and their
        designated beneficiary. Tax deferred savings benefits are distributed in
        accordance with Internal Revenue Service guidelines.


 (5)    FUNDING POLICY

        All eligible participants may elect at time of enrollment to contribute
        a pretax portion of their compensation in an amount not less than 2% and
        not to exceed the lesser of 15% of eligible compensation or $10,000 in
        1998, for tax-deferred treatment. The investment elections may be
        changed or discontinued at any time by written authorization from the
        participant. Changes become effective on the first of June or December
        following the election.

        The Company may contribute discretionary matching amounts, which are
        credited as soon as administratively possible after the end of each year
        to participant accounts at the discretionary rate on the first 6% of
        participant compensation contributed. The discretionary matching
        contributions for the years ended May 31, 1998 and 1997 were $508,785
        and $123,191, respectively.

        The Company may also contribute a discretionary amount as profit sharing
        as determined each year by the Board of Directors. No profit sharing
        contribution was made for the year ended May 31, 1998. The profit
        sharing contribution for the year ended May 31, 1998 was $1,983,128.

 (6)    PLAN TERMINATION

        The Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its
        contributions at any time and terminate the Plan subject to the
        provisions of ERISA. In the event the Plan is terminated, all amounts
        credited to the accounts of the affected participants will become fully
        vested and nonforfeitable.

(7)     ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

        The Company assumes the liability for administrative expenses related to
        the Plan.

 (8)    INCOME TAXES

        The Plan has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal
        Revenue Service, dated September 12, 1995, indicating that it is
        qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code)
        and therefore the related trust is exempt from tax under Section 501(a)
        of the Code. The Plan Administrator is not aware of any activity or
        transactions that may adversely affect the qualified status of the Plan.

 (9)    RECLASSIFICATIONS

        Certain items in the prior year's financial statements have been
        reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.


 (10)   NET ASSETS AVAILABLE FOR PLAN BENEFITS

        Amounts to be paid from net assets available for plan benefits to
        withdrawing participants as of May 31, 1998 and 1997 were $137,869 and
        $184,456, respectively.
