ITEM 5. Other Events
On February 13, 1996, the Company issued a press release announcing
its results of operations for the first quarter, ending on January 28, 1996,
of fiscal year 1996. A copy of the financial statements attached to the press
release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by
reference.
From time to time, the Company will make "forward-looking statements"
about its prospects for the future. Such statements are subject to certain
risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially
from those projected. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited
to, the following:
o Growth in Semiconductor Demand. If growth in the demand for
semiconductors were too slow, whether caused by slowing economic
growth, slowing productivity or other factors, demand for
semiconductor fabrication equipment would probably slow as well.
o Competitive Challenges. If any of the Company's competitors were to
develop products or services which are more cost-effective or
technically superior, demand for the Company's equipment could slow.
o Ability to Hire and Assimilate New Employees. Continued rapid
growth in the demand for semiconductors could create difficulties
in hiring a sufficient number of qualified personnel, especially in
areas requiring technical expertise, and create difficulties in
assimilating new employees, thereby slowing the rate at which such
employees increase their productivity.
