NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
(1) Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     Description of Business
     FSI International, Inc. (“the Company”) is a global supplier of surface conditioning equipment (process equipment used to etch and clean organic and inorganic materials from the surface of a silicon wafer), technology and support services for microelectronics manufacturing. The Company’s broad portfolio of batch and single-wafer cleaning products includes process technologies for immersion (a method used to clean silicon wafers by immersing the wafer in multiple tanks filled with process chemicals), spray (sprays chemical mixtures, water and nitrogen in a variety of sequences on to the microelectronic substrate), vapor (utilizes gas phase chemistries to selectively remove sacrificial surface films) and CryoKinetic (a momentum transfer process used to remove non-chemically bonded particles from the surface of a microelectronic device). The Company’s support services programs provide product and process enhancements to extend the life of installed FSI equipment.
     The Company announced the winding down of its Microlithography business in March 2003 and transitioned the Microlithography (uses light to transfer a circuit pattern unto a wafer) business to a POLARIS® Systems and Services (“PSS”) organization to focus on supporting the more than 300 installed POLARIS® Systems.
     The Company’s customers include microelectronics manufacturers located throughout North America, Europe and Asia.
     Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
     The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments, except as disclosed in the notes) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. The statements have been prepared in accordance with the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission but omit certain information and footnote disclosures necessary to present the statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 27, 2005, as amended, previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
     Revenue Recognition
     The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the purchase price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. If the Company’s equipment sales involve sales to its existing customers who have previously accepted the same type(s) of equipment with the same type(s) of specifications, the Company accounts for the product sale as a multiple element arrangement. The Company recognizes the equipment revenue upon shipment and transfer of title. The other elements may include installation, extended warranty contracts and training. Equipment installation revenue is valued based on estimated service person hours to complete installation and published or quoted service labor rates and is recognized when the installation has been completed. Training revenue is valued based on published training class prices and is recognized when the customers complete the training classes or when a customer-specific training period has expired. The published or quoted service labor rates and training class prices are rates actually charged and billed to the Company’s customers.

     All other product sales with customer specific acceptance provisions are recognized upon customer acceptance. Future revenues may be negatively impacted if the Company is unable to meet customer-specific acceptance criteria. Revenue related to spare parts sales is recognized upon shipment. Revenue related to maintenance and service contracts and extended warranty contracts is recognized ratably over the duration of the contracts.
     The timing and amount of revenue recognized are dependent on the mix of revenue recognized upon shipment versus acceptance and for revenue recognized upon acceptance, they are dependent upon when customer specific criteria are met.
     Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
     Other comprehensive income (loss) pertains to revenues, expenses, gains, and losses that are not included in net income (loss), but rather are recorded directly in stockholders’ equity. For the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2006, other comprehensive income (loss) consisted of foreign currency translation adjustments. For the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2005, other comprehensive income (loss) consisted of foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized holding gains on investments.
     Cash and Cash Equivalents
     All highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.
     Marketable Securities
     The Company classifies its marketable equity securities as available-for-sale and carries these securities at amounts that approximate fair market value.
     On August 16, 2004, Metron Technology entered into a Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with Applied Materials, Inc. (“Applied”). On December 14, 2004, Applied, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, acquired the worldwide operating subsidiaries and business of Metron Technology. Applied paid approximately $84,567,000 in cash to Metron Technology upon closing on December 14, 2004. In connection with the consummation of the asset sale to Applied, Metron Technology changed its name to Nortem N.V. (“Nortem”) and began the liquidation process. Nortem was delisted from the NASDAQ on April 15, 2005 and began trading over-the-counter. Shareholders of Nortem received two liquidating distributions. The initial distribution was made on March 14, 2005 at $3.75 per share. The Company received $5.6 million and recorded a gain of $4.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2005. In June 2005, the Company received the final distribution from Nortem, net of certain Dutch withholding taxes. A portion of the final distribution was deemed a dividend, and that portion was subject to withholding tax. The net distribution was approximately $1.02 per share. The Company recorded a gain of approximately $1.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 related to this final distribution.
     Trade Accounts Receivable
     Trade accounts receivable are recorded net of an allowance for doubtful accounts.

FSI INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
     Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
     The Company makes estimates of the uncollectibility of accounts receivable. Management specifically analyzes accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts receivable are charged off after management determines that they are uncollectible.
     Inventories and Inventory Reserves
     Inventories are valued at the lower of cost, determined by the first-in, first-out method, or market. The Company records reserves for inventory shrinkage and for potentially excess, obsolete and slow moving inventory. The amounts of these reserves are based upon historical loss trends, inventory levels, physical inventory and cycle count adjustments, expected product lives, forecasted sales demand and recoverability.
     Property, Plant and Equipment
     Building and related costs are carried at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over a 5 to 30-year period. Leasehold improvements are carried at cost and depreciated over a three- to five-year period or the term of the underlying lease, whichever is shorter. Equipment is carried at cost and depreciated on a straight-line method over its estimated economic life. Principal economic lives for equipment are one to seven years. Software implemented for internal use is amortized over three to five years beginning when the system is placed in service. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred; significant renewals and improvements are capitalized.
     Long-Lived Assets
     The Company assesses the impairment of long-lived assets, including intangible assets with definite lives, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
     The Company routinely considers whether indicators of impairment of its long-lived assets are present. If such indicators are present, the Company determines whether the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows attributable to the asset in question is less than its carrying value. If less, an impairment loss is recognized based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value. Fair value is determined by discounted estimated future cash flows, appraisals or other methods deemed appropriate. If the asset determined to be impaired is to be held and used, the Company recognizes an impairment charge to the extent the present value of anticipated net cash flows attributable to the asset is less than the asset’s carrying value. Long-lived assets, amounted to $31.2 million as of May 27, 2006 and $33.5 million as of August 27, 2005.
     The Company amortizes intangible assets on a straight-line basis over their estimated economic lives which range from two to nine years. The estimated aggregate amortization of intangible assets for the next five years is $134,000 in the last three months of fiscal 2006, $538,000 in fiscal 2007, $538,000 in fiscal 2008, $163,000 in fiscal 2009 and $8,000 in fiscal 2010.

     Investment in Affiliate
     The Company’s investment in affiliate consists of a 49% interest in mFSI LTD, a Japanese joint venture company formed in 1991. This investment is accounted for by the equity method utilizing a two-month lag due to the affiliate’s year end.
     The Company defers recognition of the profit on sales to mFSI LTD which remain in mFSI LTD’s inventory based on the Company’s ownership percentage of mFSI LTD.
     The book value of the Company’s long-term investment in affiliate is reviewed for other than temporary impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
     Income Taxes
     Deferred income taxes are provided in amounts sufficient to give effect to temporary differences between financial and tax reporting. The Company accounts for tax credits as reductions of income tax expense in the year in which such credits are allowable for tax purposes. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

     During the second quarter of fiscal 2006, management determined that the accumulated undistributed earnings related to the Company’s investment in mFSI LTD were no longer considered permanently reinvested. Accordingly, a deferred tax liability amounting to $2.1 million was established on the underlying book-to-tax basis difference in this investment. Since the amount of the deferred tax liability resulted in a corresponding reduction to the Company’s valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets, the establishment of the liability did not have an impact on the Company’s effective tax rate.
     Product Warranty
     The Company, in general, warrants new and refurbished equipment manufactured by the Company to the original purchaser to be free from defects in material and workmanship for six months to two years, depending upon the product or customer agreement. Provision is made for the estimated cost of maintaining product warranties at the time the product is sold. Special warranty reserves are also accrued for major rework campaigns.
     Foreign Currency Translation
     Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates. Operating results for mFSI LTD and our foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using the average or actual rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Foreign currency translation adjustments are included in the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) account in stockholders’ equity.
     Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
     Basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed using the treasury stock method to compute the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding assuming the conversion of potential dilutive common shares. The dilutive effect of shares of common shares excludes all options for which the exercise price was higher than the average market price for the period. Diluted net loss per share does not include the effect of potential dilutive common shares as their inclusion would be antidilutive. The number of potential dilutive common shares excluded from the computation of net loss per share was 3,857,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 and for the first nine months of fiscal 2006. The number of potential dilutive common shares excluded from the computation of net loss per share was 3,785,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2005 and for the first nine months of fiscal 2005.
     Use of Estimates
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that could affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing method. The Company uses historical data to estimate the expected price volatility, the expected option life and the expected forfeiture rate. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the estimated life of the option. The Company has not made any dividend payments nor does it have plans to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. The following assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of options granted under the Company’s option plan and Employees Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) during the third quarters and first nine months of fiscal 2006 and 2005 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model:

     New Accounting Pronouncements
     In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs.” This statement requires that items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight and rehandling costs be recognized as current period charges. In addition, this statement requires that the allocation of fixed production overheads to the cost of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. This statement was effective for inventory costs incurred beginning in the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2006. The implementation of this statement did not have an impact on the Company’s results of operation or financial condition.
     Reclassifications
     Certain fiscal 2005 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
(2) Sale of the Allen, Texas Facility
     In the second quarter of fiscal 2003, when the Company decided to exit the resist processing market, an impairment charge of $7.0 million was recorded against property, plant and equipment. This write-down included a $5.0 million impairment charge for the Microlithography business facility in Allen, Texas. As part of the Company’s analysis, management had a competitive market overview performed and reviewed office buildings currently on the market and available for lease or sale. The impairment charge was based upon the Company’s estimate of fair value of the facility. In estimating the fair value of the facility, the Company assumed the building would be marketed as office space and that the special-purpose space, such as the clean rooms and laboratories, would be converted to office space. This assumption was made based upon the low demand in the area for clean room facilities and with consideration for the electronics industry downturn that occurred in 2001 and 2002. The Company did not expect that it would find a buyer that would utilize the special purpose space.
     During the second quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company also recorded an impairment charge of $2.0 million on the Microlithography business equipment based upon management’s review of its business equipment and its estimated fair value under SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.”
     After two years of marketing the building, in February 2005 the Company sold its 162,000 square foot Allen, Texas facility, together with the majority of the business equipment for its special-purpose clean room facility space, to an electronics industry buyer and received approximately $14.4 million in net cash proceeds from the sale. The sale price was in excess of the value the Company had assumed for office space use. The building and property, plant and equipment sold was recorded on the Company’s balance sheet at approximately $7.5 million as of the closing date of the sale. The Company retained ownership of approximately four acres of land adjacent to the site. The Company recorded a gain of $7.0 million on the sale.
     Concurrent with the sale, the Company entered into a sublease of approximately 40,000 square feet of space in the facility for the Company’s legacy POLARIS® System product group operations. As the present value of the leaseback rentals was less than 10% of the fair value of the facility, it was considered minor, and the entire gain of approximately $7.0 million was recognized upon the close of the sale. The lease was extended in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 to end on August 31, 2007.

Readers also are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements as actual results could differ materially. We undertake no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this report.
     This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and footnotes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.
     Industry
     It appears that semiconductor manufacturers have for the most part avoided the inventory build-up that occurred during the summer and fall of 2005. In addition, many device manufacturers, particularly FLASH (a non-volatile memory device that can be erased and reprogrammed sector by sector in a circuit without removal from the system) and DRAM (dynamic random access memory is a volatile memory device which stores data as an electrical charge on a capacitor) manufacturers, are incrementally adding capacity to meet an expected increase in demand.
     Several industry analysts are forecasting that device manufacturers will increase their second half of calendar 2006 spending over the first half level due to expected sustained factory utilization rates and the expected increase in demand for leading edge devices.* However, we believe that if device manufacturers start to experience an inventory build-up, they would likely delay their anticipated investment in wafer fab equipment.*
     Recently, Semiconductor Industry Association, a leading industry research organization, updated its growth forecast for semiconductor devices in calendar 2006 to 9.8 percent from a previous estimate of up 7.9 percent. Also, they are now predicting calendar 2007 growth of 11 percent and calendar 2008 growth of 12 percent for semiconductor devices.*
     Overview
     The investments we made in our three flagship products and the more aggressive demo/evaluation system placement initiatives over the past few years are starting to yield the anticipated results of increased bookings. In addition to increasing the acceptance of the flagship products, our challenge over the coming year is to improve our gross margin rates while controlling our operating costs.

     During the quarter, we introduced our new ViPR™ technology on our ZETA® G3 spray cleaning system. This new technology eliminates the need for ashing on most implanted photoresist striping steps. By eliminating approximately 80 percent of the front-end-of-line ashing steps device manufacturers now have another mechanism for reducing surface damage, material loss, manufacturing cycle time and capital investment.
     We partnered with a key Asian customer to develop this technology and shipped initial ZETA® systems configured with the ViPR capability early in the third quarter. Several of these systems were accepted during the quarter and we anticipate follow-on orders from this and other customers in the fourth quarter. We expect that the ViPR technology will be adopted for 65 and 45nm manufacturing.
     In the third quarter, we gained acceptance from a U.S. based semiconductor manufacturer, for a MAGELLAN® system that shipped in the second quarter of 2006. The customer qualified the MAGELLAN system for several surface conditioning applications leading to a multiple unit order early in the fourth quarter. We anticipate follow-on orders for our MAGELLAN system from this and other customers in the fourth quarter as they recognize the etch uniformity, particle removal efficiency and reduction in defects that this product offers.
     Finally, during the quarter we continued to make good progress qualifying the process capabilities of our fourth flagship product – our single wafer wet cleaning system. An initial beta single wafer wet cleaning system is scheduled for installation in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 after a successful source inspection. This product is targeted for advanced single wafer cleaning application in both the front-end and back-end of line semiconductor process flow. The introduction of this product allows us to address the fastest growing surface conditioning market segment and will give device manufacturers the ability to have nearly all of their surface conditioning process steps addressed by us.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
     In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission guidance, those material accounting policies that we believe are the most critical to an investor’s understanding of our financial results and condition and require complex management judgment are discussed below.
     Our critical accounting policies and estimates are as follows:
    revenue recognition;
 
    valuation of long-lived and intangible assets; and
 
    estimation of valuation allowances and accrued liabilities, specifically product warranty, inventory reserves and allowance for doubtful accounts.
Revenue Recognition
     We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the purchase price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. If our equipment sales involve sales to our existing customers who have previously accepted the same type(s) of equipment with the same type(s) of specifications, we account for the product sale as a multiple element arrangement. We recognize the equipment revenue upon shipment and transfer of title. The other multiple elements also include installation, extended warranty contracts and training. Equipment installation revenue is valued based on estimated service person hours to complete installation and published or quoted service labor rates and is recognized when the installation has been completed. Training revenue is valued based on published training class prices or quoted rates and is recognized when the customers complete the training classes or when a customer-specific training period has expired. The published or quoted service labor rates and training class prices are rates actually charged and billed to our customers.

21


Table of Contents

     All other product sales with customer-specific acceptance provisions are recognized upon customer acceptance. Future revenues may be negatively impacted if we are unable to meet customer-specific acceptance criteria. Revenue related to spare part sales is recognized upon shipment. Revenues related to maintenance and service contracts and extended warranty contracts are recognized ratably over the duration of the contracts.
     Timing and amount of revenue recognized are dependent on the mix of revenue recognized upon shipment versus acceptance. For revenue recognized upon acceptance, they are dependent upon when customer-specific criteria are met.
Valuation of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets
     We assess the impairment of identifiable intangibles and long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
     If we determine that the carrying value of intangibles and long-lived assets may not be recoverable, we measure any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by our management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in our current business model or another valuation technique. Net intangible assets and long-lived assets amounted to $31.2 million as of May 27, 2006 and $33.5 million as of August 27, 2005.
Product Warranty Estimation
     We record a liability for warranty claims at the time of sale. The amount of the liability is based on the trend in the historical ratio of claims to sales, releases of new products and other factors. The warranty periods for new equipment manufactured by us typically range from one to two years. Special warranty reserves are also accrued for major rework campaigns. Although management believes the likelihood to be relatively low, claims experience could be materially different from actual results because of the introduction of new, more complex products; competition or other external forces; manufacturing changes that could impact product quality; or yet to be recognized defects in products sold.
Inventory Reserves Estimation
     We record reserves for inventory shrinkage and for potentially excess, obsolete and slow moving inventory. These reserves are based upon historical loss trends, inventory levels, physical inventory and cycle count adjustments, expected product lives, forecasted sales demand and recoverability. Results could be materially different if demand for our products decreased because of economic or competitive conditions, length of any industry downturn, or if products become obsolete because of technical advancements in the industry or by us.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Estimation
     Management must make estimates of the uncollectibility of our accounts receivable. The most significant risk is the risk of sudden unexpected deterioration in financial condition of a significant customer who is not considered in the allowance. Management specifically analyzes accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Results could be materially impacted if the financial condition of a significant customer deteriorated and related accounts receivable are deemed uncollectible. Accounts receivable are charged off after management determines that they are uncollectible.

Sales Revenue and Shipments
     Sales revenue increased $12.9 million, or 68%, to $32.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 as compared to $19.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2005. The increase in sales revenue related primarily to an increase in domestic sales and sales in Asia of $15.2 million, in the aggregate, partially offset by a decrease of sales in Europe of $2.3 million. Sales revenue increased $10.2 million, or 16%, to $72.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 as compared to $62.7 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2005. The increase in sales revenue related to an increase in domestic sales of $11.3 million associated with increased domestic customer demand for products that are used to manufacture devices on 200mm wafers.
     Shipments in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 increased to $28.6 million from $18.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2005. The increase in shipments in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 related primarily to increased SC product shipments both domestically and internationally. Shipments in the first nine months of fiscal 2006 increased to $73.3 million from $62.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2005. The increase in the first nine months of fiscal 2006 related primarily to increased domestic SC product shipments.
     Based upon our revenue recognition policy, certain shipments to customers are not recognized until customer acceptance. Therefore, depending on the timing of shipments and customer acceptances, there are time periods where shipments may exceed sales revenue or sales revenue may exceed shipments.
     International sales were $18.7 million, representing 59% of total sales, during the third quarter of fiscal 2006 and $12.6 million, representing 66% of total sales, during the third quarter of fiscal 2005. The increase in the dollar amount of international sales related primarily to increased sales in Asia of $8.4 million partially offset by decreased sales in Europe of $2.3 million. International sales were $42.4 million, representing 58% of total sales, during the first nine months of fiscal 2006 and $43.5 million, representing 69% of total sales, during the first nine months of fiscal 2005. The minor decrease in the dollar amount of international sales related primarily to decreased sales in Europe of $5.9 million partially offset by increased sales in Asia of $4.8 million.

Table of Contents

     We expect fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 orders to be between $40 and $45 million.* We have already received several significant orders; however, there are several additional multi-unit orders that are anticipated in the fourth quarter.* We currently expect fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 revenues to be between $35 and $40 million.* A portion of the expected revenue is subject to us obtaining timely acceptance from our customers and orders are subject to cancellation.
Gross Margin
     Our gross profit margin fluctuates due to a number of factors, including the mix of products sold; the proportion of international sales, as international sales generally have lower margins; utilization of manufacturing capacity; the sales of PSS product inventory previously written down to zero; initial product placement discounts; and the competitive pricing environment.
     Gross margin as a percentage of sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 was 40.8% as compared to 41.8% for the third quarter of fiscal 2005. The decrease in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2005 related primarily to the mix of products sold. Gross margin as a percentage of sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 was 48.1% as compared to 46.5% for the first nine months of fiscal 2005. The increase in margin in the first nine months was primarily due to sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2006 of PSS product inventory with an original cost of $2.0 million that had previously been written down to zero partially offset by lower margin sales on initial product placements. The sale of PSS product inventory previously written down to zero was primarily due to revenues generated from unanticipated sales of PSS refurbished tools, spare parts and upgrades. During the first nine months of fiscal 2005, there were sales of PSS product inventory with an original cost of $0.4 million that has previously been written down to zero.
     We will continue to try to sell the impaired inventory to our customers as spares, refurbished systems and upgrades to existing systems. If unsuccessful, some of the items will be disposed. Any material sales of the impaired inventory will be disclosed. Since we recorded the PSS product inventory reserves as a result of the wind-down of our Microlithography business in the second quarter of fiscal 2003, we have had sales of PSS product inventory that had previously been written down to zero and reductions in inventory buyback requirements of $8.7 million and have disposed of $6.6 million of PSS product inventory. The original cost of PSS product inventory available for sale or to be disposed of as of May 27, 2006 was $9.7 million.
     Gross margins for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 are expected to be between 40% to 43% of revenues due to product mix, the foreign/domestic sales mix and initial product placements.*
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $9.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 as compared to $9.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2005. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $27.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 as compared to $26.5 million for the same period in fiscal 2005. The increases in selling, general and administrative expenses for 2006 related primarily to an increase in sales and service personnel in Asia as well as certain realignment costs incurred in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 in Europe.
     We expect selling, general and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 to be in the range of $9.2 to $9.4 million as we continue to focus on supporting product evaluations in process at our customers’ facilities and increasing our field service capabilities to support the anticipated increase in unit shipments.*

Research and Development Expenses
     Research and development expenses were $6.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 as compared to $5.5 million for the third quarter in fiscal 2005. Research and development expenses were $18.4 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 as compared to $16.4 million for the same period in fiscal 2005. The majority of our research and development investment is focused on expanding the application capabilities of our products, supporting customer evaluations and expanding our product portfolio. We experienced an increase in engineering material costs in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 related to development of our initial single wafer wet cleaning system.
     Research and development expenses for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 are expected to be in the range of $6.1 to $6.3 million as we continue to invest in new application and product development programs and provide support for customer evaluation programs.*
Gain on Sale of Facility
     We sold our facility in Allen, Texas in the second quarter of fiscal 2005 and received $14.4 million in net cash proceeds from the sale. The building and property, plant and equipment sold were recorded on our balance sheet at approximately $7.5 million at the close of the sale. We recorded a gain of $7.0 million on the sale in the second quarter of fiscal 2005. See Note 2 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this report for further discussion of the sale of the facility.
Interest Income
     Interest income was $244,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 and $807,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2006 as compared to $233,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2005 and $474,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2005. The increases in interest income in the fiscal 2006 periods related primarily to higher interest rates.
     Interest income in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 is expected to be between $150,000 and $200,000, given our current cash position and the anticipated interest rates.*
Gain on Marketable Securities
     Gain on marketable securities was $4.2 million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2005. The gain was due to the gain on the Nortem distribution in the third quarter of fiscal 2005.
Impairment of Investment
     We recorded $0.5 million of impairment of investment for the first nine months of fiscal 2006. See further discussion related to the impairment in Note 9 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Income Taxes
     We recorded tax expense of $12,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 and 2005 and $38,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2006 and 2005.
     Our deferred tax assets on the balance sheet as of May 27, 2006 have been fully reserved with a valuation allowance. We do not expect to significantly reduce our valuation allowance until we are consistently profitable on a quarterly basis.*

Table of Contents

     We have net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $156.9 million, which will begin to expire in fiscal year 2011 through fiscal 2023 if not utilized. Of this amount, approximately $15.0 million is subject to Internal Revenue Code Section 382 limitations on utilization. This limitation is approximately $1.4 million per year.
     Tax legislation has been enacted to repeal certain tax incentives that we have qualified for in the past. The legislation also includes provisions that allow for a deduction for qualified production activities. These provisions will not impact our tax rate in the near term due to the full valuation allowance. The longer term impact will depend on the level of our profitability and the mix of domestic and foreign earnings.
Equity in (Loss) Earnings of Affiliate
     The equity in (loss) earnings of affiliate was approximately $52,000 of loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2006, compared to approximately $236,000 of income for the third quarter of fiscal 2005. The equity in (loss) earnings of affiliate was approximately $155,000 of loss for the first nine months of fiscal 2006, compared to $667,000 of income for the first nine months of fiscal 2005. The change from the fiscal 2005 periods to the fiscal 2006 periods related primarily to a change in revenue product mix to lower margin products representing a greater portion of sales revenue in fiscal 2006.
     We expect to report equity in earnings of affiliate of $100,000 to $200,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006.*
Net Income
     Assuming that we can achieve the projected revenue, gross margin, operating expense levels, interest income and affiliate earnings, we expect to report net income of $1.0 to $2.0 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006.*
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
     Cash, restricted cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were approximately $24.2 million as of May 27, 2006, a decrease of $7.7 million from the end of fiscal 2005. The net decrease in cash, restricted cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities was primarily due to $6.5 million of cash used in operating activities, excluding the increase in restricted cash, $2.0 million in capital expenditures, including an additional Surface Conditioning system in our laboratory, and $0.1 million of negative currency impact. The decreases were net of a $0.2 million dividend received for our affiliate, mFSI LTD and $0.7 million of proceeds from the issuance of common stock.
     Accounts receivable decreased $1.6 million from the end of fiscal 2005 to $23.3 million as of May 27, 2006. The decrease in accounts receivable was primarily due to the timing of shipments within the third quarter of fiscal 2006 as compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 from 76% of the quarter shipments in the last month of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 to 37% of the quarter shipments in the last month of the third quarter of fiscal 2006. Accounts receivable will fluctuate from quarter to quarter, depending on individual customers’ timing of ship dates and payment terms.
     Inventory increased approximately $6.8 million to $31.5 million at May 27, 2006 as compared to $24.7 million at the end of fiscal 2005. The increase in inventory was primarily in raw materials and purchased parts due to an increase in orders from $26.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 to $43.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2006. The inventory increase was also due to anticipated follow-on orders from several customers. Inventory reserves were $13.7 million at May 27, 2006 as compared to reserves of $15.3 million at the end of fiscal 2005. The decrease in inventory reserves was due to sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2006 of PSS product inventory with an original cost of $2.0 million that had previously been written down to zero and the disposal of $0.4 million of obsolete inventory offset by $0.8 million of additional SC product inventory reserves during the first nine months of fiscal 2006.

     Trade accounts payable increased approximately $2.0 million to $7.2 million as of May 27, 2006 as compared to $5.2 million at the end of fiscal 2005. The increase in trade accounts payable related primarily to an increase in inventory purchases.
     Customer deposits increased approximately $5.9 million to $7.1 million as of May 27, 2006 as compared to $1.2 million at the end of fiscal 2005. The increase relates primarily to an increase in PSS product bookings which require deposits.
     Deferred profit decreased approximately $0.2 million to $5.0 million at May 27, 2006 as compared to $5.2 million at the end of fiscal 2005.
     As of May 27, 2006, our current ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 3.0 to 1.0 and working capital was $58.4 million. We did not have any outstanding loans with our affiliate, or lines of credit for affiliate, as of May 27, 2006. As of May 27, 2006, we had guarantees of $260,000 related to auto leases, VAT and payroll requirements in Europe. These guarantees were collateralized with $143,000 of restricted cash.
     The following table provides aggregate information about our contractual payment obligations and the periods in which payments are due (in thousands):
                                         
    Payments due by period  
            Less than                     More than 5  
    Total     1 Year     1-3 years     3-5 years     years  
Contractual Obligations:
                                       
Operating lease obligations
  $ 2,206     $ 1,110     $ 1,068     $ 28        
Purchase obligations
    11,713       11,713                    
Other long-term liabilities (1)
    2,375       250       500       500     $ 1,125  
 
                             
Total
  $ 16,294     $ 13,073     $ 1,568     $ 528     $ 1,125  
 
                             
 
(1)   Other long-term liabilities related to minimum royalty payments or discounts granted under a license agreement.
     Capital expenditures were approximately $2.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2006 and $1.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2005. The fiscal 2006 expenditures included placing additional Surface Conditioning equipment in our laboratory allowing us to reduce the cycle time for new applications development and the backlog of customer demonstrations. We expect total capital expenditures, consisting of primarily a new metrology system in our laboratory, to be approximately $2.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006.* Depreciation and amortization for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 is expected to be between approximately $1.0 to $1.2 million.*
     At the expected revenue and expense run rate, we anticipate using approximately $3.0 to $5.0 million in net cash for operations in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006.* We believe that with existing cash, cash receipts, cash equivalents, marketable securities and internally generated funds, there will be sufficient funds to meet our currently projected working capital requirements, and to meet other cash requirements through at least fiscal 2007.* We believe that success in our industry requires substantial capital to maintain the flexibility to take advantage of opportunities as they arise. One of our strategic objectives is, as market and business conditions warrant, to consider divestitures, investments or acquisitions of businesses, products or technologies, particularly those that are complementary to our surface conditioning business. We may fund such activities with additional equity or debt financing. The sale of additional equity or debt securities, whether to maintain flexibility or to meet strategic objectives, could result in additional dilution to our shareholders.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
     We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

New Accounting Pronouncements
     In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 151, “Inventory Costs.” This statement requires that items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight and rehandling costs be recognized as current period charges. In addition, this statement requires that the allocation of fixed production overheads to the cost of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. This statement was effective for inventory costs incurred beginning in our first quarter of fiscal 2006. The implementation of this statement did not have an impact on our results of operations or financial position.
     In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment.” SFAS No. 123R is a revision of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and its related implementation guidance. SFAS No. 123R focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services through share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123R requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant. The cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. SFAS No. 123R is effective as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005 and we adopted this standard on August 28, 2005 using the modified prospective method. Our results of operations in the first nine months of fiscal 2006 reflected $806,000 of compensation expenses for new stock options granted under our stock incentive plan, and for the unvested portion of previous stock options granted under our stock incentive plan and our employee stock purchase plan.
    ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
     Our cash flows and earnings are subject to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates due to our investment in a foreign-based affiliate. As of May 27, 2006, our investment in affiliate included a 49% interest in mFSI LTD, which operates in Japan. We denominate the majority of our sales outside of the U.S. in U.S. dollars.
     Because we assumed direct sales, service and applications support and logistics responsibilities for our products in Europe and the Asia Pacific region in March 2003, we have and will continue to incur labor, service and other expenses in foreign currencies. As a result, we may be exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rate risks.* As of May 27, 2006 we had not entered into any hedging activities and our foreign currency transaction gains and losses for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 were insignificant. We continue to evaluate various hedging activities and other options to minimize these risks.
     We do not have significant exposure to changing interest rates as we currently have no long-term debt. As of May 27, 2006, amortized cost approximated market value for all outstanding marketable securities. We do not undertake any specific actions to cover our exposure to interest rate risk and we are not party to any interest rate risk management transactions. The impact on net loss before income taxes of a 1% change in short-term interest rates would be approximately $242,000 based on cash, restricted cash, cash equivalents and marketable security balances as of May 27, 2006.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
     As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
Hsu Litigation
     See Note 18 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our fiscal 2005 annual report on Form 10-K, as amended, for a discussion of the Hsu litigation.
YieldUP Patent Litigation
     During the second quarter of fiscal 2006, we made the final payment of $750,000 related to the litigation settlement. See Note 18 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our fiscal 2005 annual report on Form 10-K, as amended, for a discussion of the YieldUP patent litigation.
ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
     There have not been any material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 27, 2005 except as set forth below.
     Because our business depends on the amount that manufacturers of microelectronics spend on capital equipment, downturns in the microelectronics industry may adversely affect our results.
     The microelectronics industry experiences periodic downturns, which may have a negative effect on our sales and operating results. Our business depends on the amounts that manufacturers of microelectronics spend on capital equipment. The amounts they spend on capital equipment depend on the existing and expected demand for semiconductor devices and products that use semiconductor devices. When a downturn occurs, some semiconductor manufacturers experience lower demand and increased pricing pressure for their products. As a result, they are likely to purchase less semiconductor processing equipment and have sometimes delayed making decisions to purchase capital equipment. In some cases, semiconductor manufacturers have canceled or delayed orders for our products. Typically, the semiconductor equipment industry has experienced more pronounced decreases in net sales than the semiconductor industry as a whole.
     We, along with others in the semiconductor equipment industry, have in the past experienced downturns in orders for new equipment as well as delays in or cancellations of existing orders. We cannot predict the extent and length of any future softening in the industry.
