PART I

ITEM 1: BUSINESS

Organized in 1967, Applied Materials, Inc. ("Applied Materials" or the
"Company") develops, manufactures, markets and services semiconductor wafer
fabrication equipment and related spare parts. The Company's worldwide customers
include both companies which manufacture semiconductor devices for use in their
own products and companies which manufacture semiconductor devices for sale to
others. Applied Materials operates exclusively in the semiconductor wafer
fabrication equipment industry. The Company is also a fifty percent stockholder
in Applied Komatsu Technology, Inc., a joint venture corporation which develops,
manufactures, markets and services thin film transistor fabrication systems used
to produce active-matrix liquid crystal displays. On November 24, 1996, the
Company announced that it had entered into agreements to acquire two companies
in the metrology and inspection semiconductor equipment market. Opal, Inc. is a
leading supplier of critical dimension scanning electron microscope systems that
measure certain critical dimensions of integrated circuits at various stages of
the manufacturing process. Orbot Instruments, Ltd. is a supplier of wafer and
reticle inspection systems with leading-edge technologies. Both acquisitions
were completed during the Company's first fiscal quarter of 1997 ending on
January 26, 1997.

PRODUCTS

Applied Materials' products are sophisticated systems that utilize
state-of-the-art technology in wafer processing chemistry and physics,
particulate management, process control, software and automation. Many of the
Company's technologies are complementary and can be applied across all of its
product offerings. The Company's products, which provide enabling technology,
productivity and yield enhancements to semiconductor manufacturers, are used to
fabricate semiconductor devices on a substrate of semiconductor material
(primarily silicon). A finished device consists of thin film layers which can
form anywhere from one to millions of tiny electronic components that combine to
perform desired electrical functions. The fabrication process must control film
and feature quality to ensure proper device performance while meeting yield and
throughput goals. The Company currently manufactures equipment that addresses
three major steps in wafer fabrication: deposition, etch and ion implantation.
The Company also manufactures a Rapid Thermal Processing (RTP) system that
provides versatility and broad application to many areas of semiconductor
manufacturing, a Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) system that planarizes
wafers after various processing steps, and systems for metrology and inspection.

Single-wafer, multi-chamber architecture

Recognizing the trend toward more stringent process requirements and larger
wafer sizes, Applied Materials developed a single-wafer, multi-chamber system
called the Precision 5000. The Company introduced the Precision 5000 with
dielectric chemical vapor deposition (DCVD) processes in 1987, etch processes in
1988 and tungsten CVD (WCVD) processes in 1989. The Precision 5000's
single-wafer, multi-chamber architecture features several processing chambers,
each of which is attached to a central handling system, and is designed for both
serial and integrated processing. The Precision 5000's integrated processing
capability makes it possible to perform multiple process steps on a wafer in a
controlled environment, thus reducing the risk of particulate contamination. The
Company leveraged its expertise in single-wafer, multi-chamber architecture to
develop an evolutionary platform in 1990 called the Endura 5500 PVD (Physical
Vapor Deposition), which features a staged, ultra-high vacuum (UHV) architecture
for the rapid sputtering of aluminum and other metal films used to form the
circuit interconnections on advanced devices. In October 1991, the Company
announced its second-generation Precision 5000 system,

2
3

the Precision 5000 Mark II, with numerous enhancements to the platform, process
chambers and remote support equipment. The Precision 5000 Mark II is used to
manufacture advanced devices, such as 16 megabit DRAMs (Dynamic Random Access
Memories), on 200mm (8-inch) wafers. In September 1992, the Company announced
its latest generation single-wafer, multi-chamber platform, the Centura, to
target the high temperature thin films market and future process applications
with 0.5-micron and below specifications. This platform improves upon the
Precision 5000 by incorporating high vacuum capabilities and advanced robotics
that provide significantly higher throughput.

Deposition

A fundamental technology in semiconductor fabrication, deposition is a
process in which a layer of either electrically insulating (dielectric) or
electrically conductive material is deposited on a wafer. Deposition can be
divided into several different categories, of which Applied Materials currently
participates in three: chemical vapor deposition (CVD), physical vapor
deposition (PVD), and epitaxial and polysilicon deposition.

CVD. Chemical vapor deposition is a process used in semiconductor
fabrication in which thin films (insulators, conductors and semiconductors)
are deposited from gaseous sources. In 1987, the Company introduced the
Precision 5000 CVD platform for DCVD which, with its automated
multi-chamber architecture, provides the flexibility to perform a broad
range of deposition processes utilizing up to four individual chambers on a
single system. In 1989, the Company entered the tungsten (W) CVD market
with the introduction of a system for blanket tungsten deposition, the
Precision 5000 WCVD. The Company has continued to add functionality to this
system, including integrated tungsten plug fabrication capability which
combines WCVD deposition and etchback capabilities in the same system. The
Company has also added tungsten silicide and titanium nitride processes to
further extend its offerings. In 1992, the Company introduced the
single-wafer, multi-chamber Centura platform. The Centura platform
accommodates both DCVD and metal CVD processes. In 1994, the Company
introduced the Precision 5000 Mark II CVD platform with sub-atmospheric
process technologies that address applications to 0.35-microns. Also in
1994, the Company announced a new chamber technology called "xZ" on the
Centura platform, which provides a significant enhancement by improving
system throughput, providing no consumable parts and reducing operating
costs. Most of the mainstream CVD applications offered by the Company are
now available using this technology, with the exception of the HDP-CVD
(High-Density Plasma CVD) Centura. Launched in February, the HDP-CVD
Centura system is aimed at the most advanced sectors of the semiconductor
market, including emerging semiconductor production, research and
development and pilot lines. In April 1996, the Company entered a new
market with a high-productivity silane-based CVD process for
anti-reflective coating (ARC) applications. ARC films are typically used to
enhance photolithography.

PVD. Physical vapor deposition sputters metals on wafers during
semiconductor fabrication to form the circuit interconnects. Unlike CVD,
the sources of the deposited materials are solid sources called targets.
Applied Materials entered the PVD market in April 1990 with the Endura 5500
PVD system. This system utilizes a modular, single-wafer, multi-chamber
platform which accommodates UHV processes like PVD, and conventional high
vacuum processes like CVD and etch. In July 1993, the Company introduced
the Endura HP (High Productivity) PVD system, an enhanced version of the
Endura 5500 PVD system. In November 1993, the Centura HP PVD was introduced
in order to offer customers a choice of platforms using the Company's PVD
technology.

In November 1994, the Endura VHP (Very High Productivity) PVD system
was launched, further enhancing the wafer transfer system to raise
throughput. A key advance in process technology was announced in July 1996
with the Vectra IMP (Ion Metal Plasma) chamber for titanium (Ti) and
titanium nitride (TiN) deposition. This technology creates metal ions from
the materials sputtered from the target, whose directionality can then be
controlled in the chamber for dramatically improved step coverage
performance in very small contacts and vias. In September 1996, the Liner
TxZ Centura system was launched. This system combines a new CVD TiN chamber
with a Coherent PVD Ti chamber, and allows for deposition of sequential
layers of Ti and CVD TiN in high-aspect-ratio metal structures under
vacuum.

Epitaxial and polysilicon deposition. Epitaxial (Epi) and polysilicon
deposition involve depositing layers of high-quality, silicon-based
compounds on the surface of a silicon wafer to change its electrical
properties and, in the case of epi, to form the base on which the
integrated circuit is built. In 1989, the Company introduced the Precision
7700 Epi system for advanced silicon deposition. The 7700 system extends
the capabilities of radiantly-heated "barrel" technology and incorporates
fully automated wafer handling as well as many features for particulate
control. In September 1992, the Company announced the Poly Centura, a
single-wafer, multi-chamber platform targeted at the high temperature thin
film deposition of polysilicon on wafers up to 200mm (8 inches) in
diameter. The Epi Centura, which features deposition of epitaxial silicon,
was announced in March 1993. In December 1993, the Company launched the
Polycide Centura which combines chambers for polysilicon and tungsten
silicide deposition on the Centura platform.

Etch

Prior to etch processing, a wafer is patterned with photoresist during the
photolithography process. Etching then selectively removes material from areas
which are not covered by the photoresist pattern. Applied Materials entered the
etch market in 1981 with the introduction of the AME 8100 Etch system, which
utilized a batch process technology for dry plasma etching. In 1985, the Company
introduced the Precision Etch 8300, which featured improved levels of automation
and particulate control. The Company continues to sell the Precision Etch 8300
product. Applied Materials' first single-wafer, multi-chamber system for the dry
etch market was the Precision 5000 Etch, introduced in 1988. In 1990, the
Company introduced a metal etch system based on the Precision 5000 architecture
which provides single-wafer, aluminum etch capabilities. In 1993, the Company
introduced its next generation etch platform, the Centura HDP Dielectric Etcher,
designed for critical high density plasma oxide etch applications requiring
sub-0.5-micron design rules, and the Precision 5000 Mark II Etch MxP, a new
model of the Precision 5000-series etch system with several enhancements
including process capability for 0.35-micron applications. In July 1994, Applied
Materials introduced the Metal Etch MxP Centura, which combines sub-0.5-micron
process technology with improved throughput. The Company launched a new
dielectric etch system in April 1995, combining its latest Centura platform with
an enhanced etch chamber, called the Dielectric Etch MxP+ Centura. The Remote
Plasma Source (RPS) Centura, introduced in June 1995, extended the Company's
range of dielectric dry etch process technologies to several isotropic etch
steps. Two new etch systems were launched in 1996 for HDP etching of metal and
silicon films, using the Company's new DPS (Decoupled Plasma Source) technology.
The DPS Metal Etch Centura and DPS Silicon Etch Centura are aimed at very
advanced applications, primarily for deep submicron devices (0.25-micron). In
addition, the products deliver very high throughput, for superior cleanroom
space utilization.

Ion Implantation

During ion implantation, silicon wafers are bombarded by a high-velocity
beam of electrically charged ions. These ions are embedded within a wafer at
selected sites and change the electrical properties of the implanted area.
Applied Materials entered the high-current portion of the implant market in 1985
with the Precision Implant 9000 and introduced the Precision Implant 9200 in
1988. In 1989, the Company added enhancements to the 9200 series, including a
new option for automated selection of implant angles and new hardware/software
options that enable customers to perform remote monitoring and diagnostics. In
1991, the Company announced an enhanced version of its high-current ion
implanter and designated it the Precision Implant 9200XJ. In November 1992, the
Company introduced a new high-current ion implantation system, the Precision
Implant 9500, to address the production of high-density semiconductor devices,
such as 16 megabit and 64 megabit memory devices and advanced microprocessors.
In November 1994, the 9500xR model was introduced, further extending the range
of the 9500 system into the traditional medium-current area with enhanced
low-dose, low-energy implant performance. In October 1995, the Company
introduced its latest implant system, the Precision Implant xR80. This system
features low-energy and a very small system footprint, while maintaining high
throughput. Two extensions of the basic xR80 architecture were introduced in
1996: the Precision Implant xR LEAP (Low Energy Advanced Processing) in May and
the xR120 in July. Both of these systems extend the energy range of the xR80
system for customers needing those capabilities.

Rapid Thermal Processing

In June 1995, Applied Materials introduced a new system, the Rapid Thermal
Processing (RTP) Centura, into the emerging RTP market. RTP uses very rapid
heating cycles to perform high-temperature processes traditionally done by
slower-heating batch furnace technologies. The system is designed to solve the
limiting technical issues -- temperature measurement and control and uniformity
and process repeatability -- that have historically kept RTP from becoming a
production technology. The RTP Centura's implant annealing processes offer
chipmakers improved device performance, with demonstrated potential for
significant yield improvements and faster factory cycle time.

Chemical Mechanical Processing

In December 1995, the Company entered a new market with the introduction of
a Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) system. CMP uses a combination of
corrosive slurry and mechanical pressure to flatten or "planarize" the
topography on semiconductor wafers. The Company's Mirra CMP system uses a unique
multi-station "carousel" design, within which several wafers can be processed
simultaneously.

Metrology and Inspection

In fiscal 1997, the Company entered into the metrology and inspection
market with the acquisitions of two companies, Opal, Inc., and Orbot
Instruments, Ltd. Opal, Inc. is a supplier of advanced scanning electron
microscopes (SEMs) for the automated measurement of sub-micron circuit features,
or critical dimensions (CDs), to verify the performance of critical lithography
and patterning processes. Orbot Instruments manufactures two types of optical
inspection equipment: one product locates and identifies defects in the wafer
circuitry and is used in the in-line examination of patterned wafers; another
product assures that the masks and reticles used in the lithography process are
error free.

CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SUPPORT

The demand for improved production yields of integrated circuits requires
that semiconductor wafer processing equipment operate reliably, with maximum
uptime and within very precise tolerances. Applied Materials installs its
equipment and provides warranty service worldwide through offices located in
North America, Europe (including Israel), Japan, Korea and Asia-Pacific (Taiwan,
China and Singapore). Applied Materials maintains 70 sales/service offices
worldwide, with 24 offices in North America, 10 offices in Europe, 25 offices in
Japan, 6 offices in Korea and 5 offices in Asia-Pacific. The Company offers a
variety of service contracts to customers for maintenance of installed equipment
and provides a comprehensive training program for all customers.

BACKLOG

At October 27, 1996, the Company's backlog totaled $1.4 billion, compared
to $1.5 billion at October 29, 1995. The Company schedules production of its
systems based upon order backlog and customer commitments. The backlog includes
orders for which written authorizations have been accepted and shipment dates
within 12 months have been assigned. Due to possible changes in customer
delivery schedules and cancellations of orders, the Company's backlog at any
particular date is not necessarily indicative of actual sales for any succeeding
period.

MANUFACTURING, RAW MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES

The Company's manufacturing activities consist primarily of assembling
various commercial and proprietary components into finished systems, principally
in the United States, with additional operations in England, Japan, Korea and
Taiwan. Production requires some raw materials and a wide variety of mechanical
and electrical components, which are manufactured to the Company's
specifications. Multiple commercial sources are available for most components.
The Company has consolidated the number of sources for several key purchased
items for purposes of improving its position with suppliers, resulting in
improved on-time delivery, lower inventory levels and better pricing to the
Company. There have been no significant delays in receiving components from sole
source suppliers; however, the unavailability of any of these components could
disrupt scheduled deliveries to customers.

MARKETING AND SALES

Because of the highly technical nature of its products, the Company markets
its products worldwide through a direct sales force, with sales, service and
spare parts offices in North America, Japan, Europe, Korea and Asia-Pacific. For
the fiscal year ended October 27, 1996, sales to customers in North America,
Europe, Japan, Korea and Asia-Pacific were approximately 31%, 16%, 24%, 14% and
15%, respectively, of the Company's net sales. For the fiscal year ended October
29, 1995, sales to customers in North America, Europe, Japan, Korea and
Asia-Pacific were approximately 32%, 15%, 26%, 17% and 10%, respectively, of the
Company's net sales. The Company's business is not seasonal in nature, but it is
subject to the capital equipment investment patterns of major semiconductor
manufacturers located throughout the world. Each region in the global
semiconductor equipment market exhibits unique characteristics that cause
capital equipment investment patterns to vary from period to period. While
international markets provide the Company with significant growth opportunities,
periodic economic downturns, trade balance issues, political instability and
fluctuations in interest and foreign currency exchange rates are all risks that
could affect global product and service demand.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

The market served by the Company is characterized by rapid technological
change. The Company's research and development efforts are global in nature.
Engineering organizations are located in the United States, Japan, England and
Israel, with process support and customer demonstration laboratories in the
United States, Japan, England, Taiwan and Korea. Since 1984, the Company has
operated a large-scale technology center in Narita, Japan, which has been
expanded several times to meet the requirements of its Japanese customer base.
In 1996, additional technology centers were opened in Korea and Taiwan to better
serve customers in the Korea and Asia-Pacific regions. The Company also operates
a technology center in Israel to develop controller configuration and software
tools for its semiconductor processing systems. Applied Materials works closely
with its global customers to design systems that meet their planned technical
and production requirements. The Company's research and development activities
are primarily directed toward the development of new wafer processing systems
and new process applications for existing products. The Company is also
investing in the development of new products in conjunction with the
semiconductor industry's move to the next-generation 300mm wafer size. Together
with today's standard 200mm wafers, 300mm wafers will be used to produce
semiconductor devices with geometries of 0.25 micron and below, probably
including the 256Mbit generation of DRAMs.

To meet emerging customer requirements for advanced manufacturing
solutions, the Company is developing a capability called Process Sequence
Integration (PSI). Choosing from Applied Materials' broad lineup of process
technologies, customers will be able to order "process modules" which consist of
multiple systems whose sequential processes can create complete structures
within the semiconductor device, such as the interconnect structure found in
multi-level metal device designs.

COMPETITION

The global semiconductor equipment industry is highly competitive and is
characterized by increasingly rapid technological advancements and demanding
worldwide service requirements. Each of the Company's products competes in
markets defined by the particular wafer fabrication process it performs. There
are several companies that compete with Applied Materials in each of these
markets. Competition is based on many factors, primarily technological
advancements, productivity and cost-effectiveness, customer support,
contamination control and overall product quality. Management believes that the
Company's competitive advantage in each of its served markets is based on the
ability of its products and services to address customer requirements as they
relate to these competitive factors.

Applied Materials is a principal supplier in each of its served markets.
The Company faces strong competition throughout the world from other
semiconductor equipment manufacturers as well as semiconductor manufacturers who
design and produce fabrication equipment for their own internal uses and, in
some cases, for resale. Management believes that the Company is a strong
competitor with respect to its products, services and resources. However, new
products, pricing pressures and other competitive actions from both new and
existing competitors could adversely affect the Company's market position.

JOINT VENTURE

In September 1991, the Company announced its plans to develop thin film
transistor (TFT) manufacturing systems for Active-Matrix Liquid Crystal Displays
(AMLCDs). The AMLCD market currently includes screens for laptop, notebook and
palmtop computers, desktop monitors, digital/video cameras, portable televisions
and instrument displays. The Company believes that this market in the future may
include
high-resolution workstations and direct view wall television. In September 1993,
a joint

7
8

venture was formed with Applied Materials, Inc. and Komatsu, Ltd. of Japan
sharing a 50-50 ownership. The joint venture, Applied Komatsu Technology, Inc.
(AKT), is accounted for using the equity method. The Company's management
believes that systems developed by AKT have the potential to lower the
manufacturing costs of AMLCDs and provide new process technologies to enhance
flat panel capabilities. The Company has granted to AKT an exclusive license to
use the Company's intellectual property to develop, manufacture and sell
products for the production of flat panel displays, in exchange for royalties in
respect thereof. AKT has recently broadened its product offerings, and now has
process capability in CVD, PVD and Etch for a wide range of substrate sizes.
Investment in research and development will continue in 1997 on next generation
systems to further lower AMLCD manufacturing costs and increase substrate size
capability.

PATENTS AND LICENSES

Management believes that the Company's competitive position is primarily
dependent upon skills in engineering, production, and marketing rather than its
patent position. However, protection of the Company's technology assets by
obtaining and enforcing patents is increasingly important. Consequently, the
Company has an active program to file applications in the United States and
other countries on inventions which the Company considers significant. The
Company has a number of patents in the United States and other countries and
additional applications are pending for new developments in its equipment and
processes. In addition to patents, the Company also possesses other proprietary
intellectual property, including trademarks, know-how, trade secrets and
copyrights.

The Company enters into patent and technology licensing agreements with
others when management determines it is in the Company's best interest to do so.
The Company pays royalties under existing patent license agreements for the use,
in several of its products, of certain patents which are licensed to the Company
for the life of the patents.

The Company has made its technology, including patents, available to AKT
through a license arrangement which permits AKT to use the Company's technology
to develop, manufacture and sell equipment for the flat panel display industry.

In the normal course of business, the Company from time to time receives
and makes inquiries with regard to possible patent infringement. In dealing with
such inquiries, it may become necessary or useful for the Company to obtain and
grant licenses or other rights. However, there can be no assurance that such
license rights will be available to the Company on commercially reasonable
terms. While there can be no assurance about the outcome of such inquiries, the
Company believes that it is unlikely that their resolution will have a material
adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

Although one of the Company's locations has been designated as a Superfund
site by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, neither compliance
with Federal, State and local provisions regulating discharge of materials into
the environment, nor remedial agreements or other actions relating to the
environment, has had, or is expected to have, a material effect on the Company's
capital expenditures, results of operations, financial condition or competitive
position.

EMPLOYEES

At October 27, 1996, the Company employed approximately 11,403 regular
full-time employees. In the high technology industry, competition for highly
skilled employees is intense. The Company believes that a great part of its
future success depends on its continued ability to attract and retain qualified
employees. None of the Company's employees are represented by a trade union.
Management considers its relations with its employees to be good.

ITEM 3: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the first of two lawsuits filed by the Company, captioned Applied
Materials, Inc. v. Advanced Semiconductor Materials America, Inc., Epsilon
Technology, Inc. (doing business as ASM Epitaxy) and Advanced Semiconductor
Materials International N.V. (collectively "ASM") (case no. C-91-20061-RMW),
Judge William Ingram of the United States District Court for the Northern
District of California ruled on April 26, 1994 that ASM's Epsilon I epitaxial
reactor infringed three of the Company's United States patents and issued an
injunction against ASM's use and sale of the ASM Epsilon I in the United States.
On October 28, 1996, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit decided
ASM's appeal of this decision, affirming the trial court's judgment that one of
the Company's patents is valid and infringed. Permanent injunctions are now
effective to halt ASM's manufacture, use and sale of its epitaxial reactors in
the United States. The trial of the Company's second patent infringement lawsuit
against ASM, captioned Applied Materials, Inc. v. ASM (case no. C-92-20643-RMW),
was concluded before Judge Whyte in May 1995. On November 1, 1995, the Court
issued its judgment holding that two of the Company's United States patents were
valid and infringed by ASM's reduced pressure epitaxial reactors. ASM appealed
this decision. On December 17, 1996, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal
Circuit rejected ASM's appeal, and affirmed the District Court's ruling. The
permanent injunction entered on March 7, 1996 prohibiting ASM's use or sale of
its ribbed quartz epitaxial reactors within the United States is now effective.
Trial in the District Court has been set for July 28, 1997 to determine ASM
International's liability, damages and wilfulness, for both case no.
C-91-20061-RMW and C-92-20643-RMW.

In a separate lawsuit filed by ASM against the Company involving one patent
relating to the Company's single wafer epitaxial product line, captioned ASM
America, Inc. v. Applied Materials, Inc. (case no. C-93-20853-RMW), the Court
granted three motions for summary judgment in favor of the Company which
eliminate the Company's liability on this patent. ASM has not indicated whether
it intends to appeal this matter. The Company's counterclaims against ASM for
inequitable conduct were tried by the Court in July 1996. The Company is
awaiting a decision. A separate action severed from ASM's case, captioned ASM
America, Inc. v. Applied Materials, Inc. (case no. C-95-20169-RMW), involves one
United States patent which relates to the Company's Precision 5000 product. A
prior trial date has been vacated; no trial date is currently set. In these
cases, ASM seeks injunctive relief, damages and such other relief as the Court
may find appropriate.

Further, the Company has filed a Declaratory Judgment action against ASM,
captioned Applied Materials, Inc. v. ASM (case no. C-95-20003-RMW), requesting
that an ASM United States patent be held invalid and not infringed by the
Company's single wafer epitaxial product line. No trial date has been set. On
April 10, 1996, the Court denied ASM's motion for summary judgment and granted
the Company's motion for summary judgment finding several independent grounds
why the Company's reactors do not literally infringe ASM's patent. With this
ruling, the Company's liability has been substantially eliminated on this
patent. ASM has not indicated whether it intends to appeal this decision. On
July 7, 1996, ASM filed a lawsuit, captioned ASM America, Inc. v. Applied
Materials, Inc. (case no. C95-20586-RMW), concerning alleged infringement of a
United States patent by susceptors in chemical vapor deposition chambers.
Discovery is proceeding.

On January 13, 1997, the Company filed a patent infringement suit against
ASM's newly released Epsilon 2000 reactor. Discovery has not yet commenced.

In September 1994, General Signal Corporation filed a lawsuit against the
Company (case no. 94-461-JJF) in the United States District Court, District of
Delaware. General Signal alleges that the Company infringes five of General
Signal's United States patents by making, using, selling or offering for sale
multi-chamber wafer fabrication equipment, including for example, the Precision
5000 series machines. General Signal seeks an injunction, multiple damages and
costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees and interest, and such other relief
as the court may deem appropriate. This lawsuit is currently in active discovery
and pre-trial preparation. A January 1997 trial date has been postponed, and
will be rescheduled for later in 1997.

In January 1995, the Company filed a lawsuit against Novellus Systems, Inc.
in the United States District Court, Northern District of California (case no.
C-95-0243-MMC). This lawsuit alleges that Novellus' Concept One, Concept Two,
and Maxxus F TEOS systems infringe the Company's United States patent relating
to the TEOS-based, plasma enhanced CVD process for silicon oxide deposition. The
lawsuit seeks an injunction, damages and costs, including reasonable attorneys'
fees and interest, and such other relief as the court may deem appropriate.
Damages and counterclaims have been bifurcated for separate trial. A jury trial
has been scheduled for March 24, 1997 before Judge Charles A. Legge. The Court
recently ruled on a number of substantive motions finding, on the issues raised,
that the Company's patent in suit is valid and definite. On September 15, 1995,
the Company filed another lawsuit against Novellus alleging that Novellus' then
newly announced blanket tungsten interconnect process infringes the Company's
United States patent relating to a tungsten CVD process. The Company also sought
a declaration that a Novellus United States patent for a gas purge mechanism is
not infringed by the Company and/or is invalid. Novellus answered by denying the
allegations and counterclaimed by alleging that the Company's plasma enhanced
TEOS CVD systems infringe Novellus' United States patents concerning gas purge
and gas debubbler mechanisms. Novellus also filed a separate lawsuit as a
plaintiff before the same court which contains the same claims as those stated
in Novellus' defense of the Company's lawsuit. Both cases have been assigned to
Judge Legge. Discovery has commenced, and trial which had been set for August
1997 has been postponed and will be rescheduled.

In the normal course of business, the Company from time to time receives
and makes inquiries with regard to possible patent infringement. Management
believes that it has meritorious defenses and intends to vigorously pursue these
matters.
