ITEM 5.   OTHER EVENTS.
- ------    ------------

On April 12, 2001, Ibis Technology Corporation publicly disseminated a press
release announcing that, due to a substantial decrease in wafer forecasts from
one of its largest customers, Ibis has revised its outlook for the second
quarter and full year 2001, lowering its revenue projections. Ibis' customer,
one which manufactures optical components utilizing Ibis' wafers, has informed
Ibis that it expects to order a very small quantity of wafers in the second
quarter and substantially reduced quantities for the remainder of 2001.

While the impact on the first quarter is expected to be minimal, Ibis is now
projecting second quarter total revenue to be reduced by approximately 50 to 60
percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2000. Full year total revenue is still
anticipated to be up, although only slightly, compared to fiscal 2000.

The information contained in the press release is incorporated herein by
reference and filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
