AMTECH SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2005 (UNAUDITED)

 

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation – Amtech Systems, Inc., an Arizona corporation (“Amtech”), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries; P. R. Hoffman Machine Products, Inc. (“P. R. Hoffman”) and Bruce Technologies, Inc. (“Bruce Technologies”), based in the United States; and Tempress Systems, Inc. (“Tempress”) based in the Netherlands, comprise the “Company.” Amtech designs, assembles, sells and installs capital equipment and related consumables used in the manufacture of wafers of various materials, primarily silicon wafers for the semiconductor industry, and in certain semiconductor fabrication processes. These products are sold to manufacturers of silicon wafers and semiconductors worldwide, particularly in the United States, Asia and northern Europe. In addition, Amtech provides semiconductor manufacturing support services.

 

Amtech serves a niche market in an industry that experiences rapid technological advances, and which in the past has been very cyclical. Therefore, Amtech’s future profitability and growth depend on its ability to develop or acquire and market profitable new products, and on its ability to adapt to cyclical trends.

 

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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

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, 2004.

 

The consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2005 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 U. S. generally accepted accounting principles 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.

 

Reclassifications – In order to more accurately reflect cost of sales, the Company reclassified $74,000 of expenses previously classified as selling, general and administrative costs to cost of sales in the three months ended December 31, 2004.

Concentrations of Credit Risk – As of March 31, 2005, receivables from two customers amounted to 14 % and 19 % of accounts receivable. In addition, 59 % of the work-in-process inventory (“WIP”) at March 31, 2005 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 system ordered by this customer is currently scheduled to ship during the third quarter of 2005. An additional 14 % of WIP is attributable to another single customer.

 

During the six months ended March 31, 2005, net revenues were from customers in the following geographic regions: North America 36 %, Asia 37 % and Europe 27 %. No customer represented more than 10 % of net revenues during the six months ended March 31, 2005.

 

The Company had assets of $10.5 million and $7.8 million in the United States and the Netherlands, respectively, at March 31, 2005. At September 30, 2004, the Company had $10.8 million and $5.8 million of assets in the United States and the Netherlands, respectively.

Property, Plant and Equipment – Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The costs of additions and improvements are capitalized. The cost of property retired or sold and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the applicable accounts when disposition occurs and any gain or loss is recognized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. Useful lives for equipment, machinery and leasehold improvements range from three to seven years; for furniture and fixtures from five to ten years; and for buildings twenty years.
