AERA JAPAN LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND MANAGEMENT OPINION

    The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and
statements of operations and cash flows contain all adjustments necessary to
present fairly the financial position of Aera Japan Limited and Subsidiaries at
December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of its operations and cash flows for
the six-month periods ended December 31, 2001 and 2000.

    The condensed unaudited financial statements presented herein have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions related to the preparation of
condensed interim financial statements and do not include all the information
and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. The
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial
statements and notes thereto contained in Exhibit 99.2.

    The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements requires
management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
reported and disclosed in the accompanying condensed consolidated financials
statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


NOTE 2.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

    On January 18, 2002, the shareholders of Aera sold all of their Company
ownership to the Japanese subsidiary of Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. (a
Delaware corporation). The severance indemnity of $3.73 million was paid in lump
sum on January 18, 2002 to Mr. Hisanori Aoyama, the former shareholder and
representative director of the Company, who terminated his appointment on
January 18, 2002. The portion of its benefits accrued through December 31, 2001
of $3.72 million was accrued for and reflected as an other accrued expense in
the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2001, and the
remaining portion of approximately $12,000 was charged to operations for the
subsequent period.
