AMTECH SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2004 (UNAUDITED)

 

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation—The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Amtech Systems, Inc., an Arizona corporation (“Amtech”), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, P. R. Hoffman Machine Products, Inc. (“P. R. Hoffman”) based in the United States, and Tempress Systems, Inc. (“Tempress”) based in The Netherlands (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and consequently do not include all disclosures normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented have been made.

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003.

 

The consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 

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 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

ReclassificationsIn order to more accurately reflect research and development expenditures, the Company reclassified $51,000 and $98,000 of expenses previously reflected as cost of sales to research and development in the three and six months ended March 31, 2003, respectively.

Concentrations of Credit RiskAs of March 31, 2004, receivables from two customers comprised 15% and 10%, respectively, of accounts receivable. Management believes the amounts outstanding at March 31, 2004 are fully collectible. In addition, 58% of the work-in-process inventory at March 31, 2004 is attributable to a single customer. The systems ordered by that customer are part of a five-system order, which began shipping during the second quarter of 2004. The remaining systems ordered by this customer are currently scheduled to ship during the third and fourth quarters of 2004.

Stock-Based CompensationThe Company accounts for its employee stock-based compensation plans under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” SFAS No. 123 permits companies to record employee stock-based transactions using the intrinsic value method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issues to Employees,” under which no compensation cost is recognized and the pro forma effects on earnings and earnings per share are disclosed as if the fair value approach had been adopted. The Company’s employee stock-based compensation plans are summarized in the table below:
