MARKETS, PRODUCTS, AND CUSTOMERS

Manufacturers in the semiconductor and industrial markets strive to improve their processes in order to compete more effectively in a marketplace characterized by decreasing product dimensions, increasingly complex manufacturing processes, decreasing product life cycles, declining product prices, and intensifying global competition, among other factors. As such, precision metrology and optical components are designed to help these manufacturers continually achieve process and design improvements.

Semiconductor Market

ZYGO serves several areas of the semiconductor market, notably capital equipment suppliers, the largest area, as well as the flat panel display and advanced semiconductor packaging. The Company has a broad and growing range of products that serve these market areas.

Semiconductor Products and Applications

Photolithography scanners form the core of the semiconductor manufacturing process. These scanners image the patterns of stacked layers of circuitry that make up transistors. The photolithographic scanners image the circuitry onto both silicon wafers for microprocessors and memory chips and also flat panel displays for computers, televisions, and other displays. Several ZYGO products enable these scanners to image these circuit patterns reliably and with nanometer precision.

2


Precision Positioning Systems: The layers of circuit patterns must overlay on top of each other to nanometer precision. To achieve nanometer precision overlay, the silicon wafer must be repeatably positioned to one-tenth the overlay tolerance. Photolithography scanners, mask and reticle writers, and yield improvement metrology tools rely on displacement measuring interferometers (DMI) to provide precise feedback to control the position of the silicon wafer. ZYGO’s ZMI 2000™ and ZMI 4000™ precision positioning feedback systems are designed primarily for photolithography scanners. They are also used in a broad range of semiconductor metrology and backend process tools.

Optical Components: Supporting both the projection lens and stage positioning systems, ZYGO supplies OEM optical components to leading photolithographic suppliers. The core of the wafer stage positioning system is the stage mirror. ZYGO manufactures stage mirror assemblies that are part of the stage positioning system, and also manufactures various OEM optical components for projection optical systems.

Technology Development Projects: Lithography scanners image the electronic circuit pattern through a precision projection lens. The optical performance of the lenses required for next-generation lithography scanners often exceeds the capabilities of commercially available measurement systems. ZYGO’s expertise in optical interferometer technology, and the practical skills needed to apply this technology, makes us well suited to deliver custom solutions to leading photolithography equipment suppliers.

Flat Panel Display (FPD): Flat panel displays first were used in laptop computers and have now grown to be the display of choice for most computer monitors. Large screen televisions are now common and many are based on flat panel display technology. ZYGO is enabling this industry’s growth with ultra high precision measurement solutions to improve flat panel display manufacturing yields. The ZYGO fully automated HS Series systems are an inline process control, yield enhancement tool. The FPD HS tool measures the topography of color filter photo components prior to being combined with the thin-film-transistor panel in the “one drop fill” assembly process. This fully automated system incorporates the latest ZYGO Intellisensor™ optical profiler technology, integrated robotics and motion stages, mini-clean environmental enclosure and factory floor command and control software. The system measures the height and width of key optical components, and predicts the fill volume to increase upstream manufacturing yields.

Advanced Packaging Metrology: During the manufacture of a semiconductor chip, after the photolithographic process is complete, the silicon wafer must be diced into individual chips and packaged for customer use. In advanced chip packaging fabrication facilities, the ZYGO CP 300™ system measures patterned features and films on the surfaces of diced and un-diced chips, for process control and yield improvement. The APEX™ system incorporates a specialized ZYGO NewView™ optical profiler and wafer positioning system with pattern recognition software, and can be configured for clean room or laboratory use.

Industrial Market

ZYGO’s industrial market covers all areas other than semiconductor. Products for automotive, consumer electronics, and other customers are measurement-based process control and yield enhancement systems. Products for defense and aerospace companies include optical components, optical systems, and measurement-based process control systems.

Industrial Products and Applications

Consumer Electronics

Consumer electronics, including cell phones, digital cameras, DVD and CD players, and optical computer drives, all have significant optical content. Consumer electronic optics, which provide imaging and data storage, are manufactured in quantities in the hundreds of thousands to millions of components per year. These complex miniature optical systems require precise optical testing -- from development to in-line process control -- which our measurement-based process control and yield enhancement systems are designed to perform.

GPI™ and VeriFire™ Systems: The development of new optical systems for any application requires very flexible and easy to use test equipment. The ZYGO GPI™ and VeriFire™ systems are the latest products in an over 30 year old product family that revolutionized optical testing and continues to evolve to meet changing requirements. Consumer electronics production

applications for larger optics, greater than 25 mm diameter, and research and development for any application rely on these products for critical developmental data and process control feedback in production. These products are widely used due to their configuration flexibility in both hardware set ups and ZYGO’s MetroPro™ data analysis software.

PTI 250™: Consumer electronics typically contain small optics, less than 30 mm diameter. The PTI 250™ is a small bench top optical test system in the tradition of ZYGO’s industry standard GPI™. The system meets the consumer market demand by combining high-quality optics with ZYGO’s MetroPro™ data analysis software.

DVD 400™: BluRay and HD DVD, next generation of systems DVD player and computer memories, use blue light at 405 nm wavelength to increase the amount of data on a DVD disk. ZYGO’s DVD 400™ interferometer is used by the developers of these next generation systems. ZYGO’s DVD 400P™ is our system for the production floor. ZYGO’s 405 nm systems are an enabling technology for the next generation DVD players and computer memories.

Automotive Industry

The automotive industry is striving to improve fuel economy and decrease environmental pollution to meet customer demand and adhere to government regulation. Improving both requires more efficient engines, including the fuel injection system. Since high-pressure valves and sealing surfaces found in the fuel injection system must be manufactured to high precision, our measurement-based process control and yield-enhancement systems are used in the development and manufacture of these components.

NewView™ 6200/6300 and Delta Systems: Our high precision metrology equipment is well suited for fuel injector components, which are ground or lapped to tolerances of one-hundred billionths of a meter. ZYGO’s patented “FDA” data acquisition system for the NewView™ optical profiler meets this high-precision measurement requirement. This year, ZYGO introduced the NewView 6200™ and NewView 6300™ for these applications, offering increased speed and better performance at a lower price point. The NewView Delta™ is a production floor packaged system, also targeted to this growing market.

Defense/Aerospace

Defense/aerospace companies use optical technology in a broad range of applications. One application is the enhancement of human sight through imaging systems, such as telescopes, that are used in satellite and airborne reconnaissance, fire-control systems, and hand-held viewers. Nuclear research for both weapons maintenance programs and the development of nuclear fusion energy sources also use very large optical lasers at a number of worldwide facilities, including the National Ignition Facility (NIF). In addition, projection systems in computer-based flight and battlefield simulation use sophisticated optical systems. Several of our products support these and other defense/aerospace programs.

Optical Components: The ability to process optics with flat surfaces is a manufacturing core competency at ZYGO. We have the capability to machine, polish, and final-coat optical components with flat surfaces ranging in size from a centimeter to a meter. This capability meets the requirements for several defense/aerospace programs. For example, ZYGO has a dedicated production facility to carry out a multi-year program for NIF laser optics used at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Other significant manufacturing programs have included the manufacture of precision sapphire windows, telescope optics, and prismatic reflectors.

Optical System Group: Defense/aerospace optical systems often push the state of the art in optical design and manufacturing technologies. ZYGO’s Optical Systems Group has two locations - one in Costa Mesa, California and the other in Tucson, Arizona. These facilities are focused on designing and manufacturing leading edge optical systems. Key development and manufacturing programs include or have included: Helmet-mounted immersive display for flight training simulation, optical subassemblies for the NIF program, laser surgery beam delivery systems, and custom imaging systems.

GPI™ and VeriFire™ Systems: Developing state-of-the-art optical designs and manufacturing technology for the defense/aerospace market also requires leading metrology systems for manufacturing process control and development. Our industry standard GPI™ and VeriFire™ optical interferometers test both the optical components and systems for design compliance. This year, we introduced the GPI XP/D™ and GPI FlashPhase™ systems. The GPI FlashPhase™ system operates on the production floor where standard interferometers cannot measure or do not meet the demanding requirements of the defense/aerospace market. With our proprietary data acquisition, GPI FlashPhase™ can measure in the turbulent and vibrating environments that are often found in defense/aerospace applications. ZYGO is also active in designing and manufacturing custom systems for defense/aerospace applications, especially interferometers that operate at infrared wavelengths, which are unique to this market.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES, SIGNIFICANT JUDGMENTS, AND ESTIMATES

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and related disclosures at the date of our consolidated financial statements. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to bad debts, inventories, warranty obligations, self insured healthcare claims, income taxes, and long-lived assets. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and current market conditions and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We consider certain accounting policies related to revenue recognition and allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, warranty costs, self-insured health insurance costs, accounting for incomes taxes, and valuation of long-lived assets to be critical policies due to the estimates and judgments involved in each.

Revenue Recognition and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We recognize revenue based on guidance provided in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” and in accordance with the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, our price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. We recognize revenue on our standard products when title passes to the customer upon shipment. While our standard products generally require installation, the installation is considered a perfunctory performance obligation. Standard products do not have customer acceptance criteria. Generally, software is a component of our standard product and, as such, is not separately recognized as revenue. We have standard rights of return that we account for as a warranty provision under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies.” We do not have any price protection agreements or other post shipment obligations. For custom equipment where customer acceptance is part of the sales agreement, revenue is recognized when the customer has accepted the product. In cases where custom equipment does not have customer acceptance as part of the sales agreement, we recognize revenue upon shipment as long as the system meets the specifications as agreed upon with the customer. Certain transactions have multiple deliverables, with the deliverables clearly defined. To the extent that the secondary deliverables are other than perfunctory, we recognize the revenue on each deliverable, if separable, or on the completion of all deliverables, if not separable, all in a manner consistent with SAB No. 104 and EITF 00-21. Standalone software products are recognized as revenue when they are shipped. Revenue generated from development contracts are recorded on a cost-plus basis in the period services are rendered.

We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts based on a continuous review of customer accounts, payment patterns, and specific collection issues. We perform on-going credit evaluations of our customers and do not require collateral from our customers. For many of our international customers, we require an irrevocable letter of credit from our customer before a shipment is made. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required.

Inventory Valuation

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Management evaluates the need to record adjustments for impairment of inventory on a monthly basis. Our policy is to assess the valuation of all inventories, including raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods. Obsolete inventory or inventory in excess of management’s estimated future usage is written down to its estimated market value, if less than its cost. Contracts with fixed prices are evaluated to determine if estimated total costs will exceed revenues. A loss provision is recorded when the judgment is made that actual costs incurred plus estimated costs remaining to be incurred will exceed total revenues from the contract. Inherent in the estimates of market value are management’s estimates related to current economic trends, future demand for our products, and technological obsolescence. Significant management judgments must be made when providing for obsolete and excess inventory and losses on contracts. If actual market conditions are different than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs and loss accruals may be required.

Warranty Costs

We provide for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. We consider historical warranty costs actually incurred and specifically identified circumstances to establish the warranty liability. The warranty liability is reviewed on a quarterly basis. Should actual costs differ from management’s estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty

13


liability would be required. A one percent change in actual costs would have an impact of approximately $20,000 on our financial condition and results of operations.

Accounting for Income Taxes

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” requires the establishment of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets. We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to an estimated realizable amount based on historical and forecasted results. While management has considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, in the event management were to determine that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of its net recorded amount, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would increase income in the period such determination was made. Likewise, should management determine that it would not be able to realize all or part of its net deferred tax asset in the future, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would be charged to income in the period such determination was made. Our effective tax rate may vary from period to period based on changes to the valuation allowance, changes in pre-tax income between jurisdictions that have higher or lower tax rates, changes to federal, state or foreign tax laws, and deductibility of certain costs and expenses by jurisdiction.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the carrying value of intangible assets and other long-lived assets is reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances, both internally and externally, that may suggest impairment. Some factors we consider important, which could trigger the impairment review, include a significant decrease in the market value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, a significant adverse change in the business climate that could affect the value of an asset, an accumulation of costs for an asset in excess of the amount originally expected, a current period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses or a projection that demonstrates continuing losses, and a current expectation that, more likely than not, a long-lived asset will be disposed of significantly before the end of its estimated useful life.

If such circumstances exist, we evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets to determine if impairment exists based upon estimated undiscounted future cash flows over the remaining useful life of the assets and comparing that value to the carrying value of the assets. If the carrying value of the assets is greater than the estimated future cash flows, the assets are written down to the estimated fair value. We determine the estimated fair value of the assets based on a current market value of the assets. If a current market value is not readily available, a projected discounted cash flow method is applied using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in the current business model. Our cash flow estimates contain management’s best estimates, using appropriate and customary assumptions and projections at the time.

Health Insurance

Beginning in January 2004, we became self-insured for the majority of our group health insurance. We rely on claims experience in determining an adequate liability for claims incurred, but not reported. To the extent actual claims exceed estimates, we may be required to record additional expense. A one percent change in actual claims would have an impact of approximately $25,000 on our financial condition and results of operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not created, and are not party to, any special-purpose or off-balance sheet entities for the purpose of raising capital, incurring debt, or operating parts of our business that are not consolidated into our financial statements. We have not guaranteed any obligations of a third party.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Zygo Corporation is a worldwide supplier of optical metrology instruments, precision optics, and electro-optical design and manufacturing services, serving customers in the semiconductor capital equipment and industrial markets. Optical instruments products encompass non-contact optical measurement instruments. Optics products consist of high performance macro-optics components, optical coatings, and optical system assemblies. We conduct the majority of our manufacturing in our 153,500 square foot facility in Middlefield, Connecticut.

We also perform several development services, which have produced a significant amount of our revenue over the past three years. In December 2004 and February 2005, we signed development agreement amendments with Canon Inc. (“Canon”) for additional add-on work to our existing development agreement originally executed in fiscal 2003. In February 2005, we also signed a new development agreement with Canon. The development services contracts that were signed in fiscal 2005 are

14


expected to represent approximately $41 million in additional revenue over the next several years, of which $14.2 million has been recognized in fiscal 2005. Our period over period comparable sales would be adversely affected if we do not continue to provide these development services.

Overall, sales to Canon, our single largest customer, decreased approximately 9% in fiscal 2005 from fiscal 2004, representing 37% of total net sales for fiscal 2005 and 49% for fiscal 2004. We experienced, as expected, a decline in certain product sales to Canon in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2005. Despite the $5.4 million decrease in sales to Canon, our revenues grew 22%, reflecting the growth in other areas of our business, primarily the flat panel market and optical systems solutions.

During the past year, we opened additional regional offices in Taiwan, China, and Korea to increase our presence in the Pacific Rim region, particularly to take advantage of opportunities in the semiconductor segment. We expect these new offices to have a minimal impact on our results of operations in the immediate future, but also expect that the offices will become increasingly important over time.

We believe the semiconductor segment contains our best sales growth opportunities in the near future. As such, we are focusing our research and development efforts on specific semiconductor initiatives, most notably in the display and packaging markets.

An area of continued revenue growth expected in fiscal 2006 is in our optical systems solutions. Three years ago we opened a facility in Tucson, Arizona, that provides contract optical-mechanical manufacturing, utilizing lean manufacturing technology. Late in fiscal 2003, we launched our Costa Mesa, California operation that supplies electro-optical system design and prototyping. Together, these operations enable us to deliver integrated optical solutions, from design to delivery, primarily to the defense and aerospace markets. To date, our gross profit as a percentage of sales on optical systems solutions has been below our typical gross profit percentage for products in our more mature product lines. We expect that as our sales increase, our gross profit percentage will also increase, although not to the extent of our more mature product lines. These products and services typically yield a lower margin.

Our backlog at June 30, 2005 was $66.6 million, an increase of $11.7 million from June 30, 2004. Orders were $42.4 million in the fourth quarter as we experienced continued strength across our product lines and regions. Industrial orders represented 52% of our fourth quarter orders, led by a large optics order for $6.0 million, which is expected to be shipped in fiscal 2006. Our semiconductor backlog of $28.8 million includes $9.8 million related to future flat panel shipments. Bookings in the first quarter of our fiscal year tend to be lower than the fourth quarter of the previous year and we expect the first quarter of fiscal 2006 to continue that trend.

We discontinued our telecommunications TeraOptix business unit during fiscal 2003. Accordingly, the results of TeraOptix have been presented as a separate line item on the Consolidated Statements of Operations as “Discontinued TeraOptix operations, net of tax,” for all periods presented. In addition, the “Charges on the disposal of TeraOptix, net of tax”, have been recorded as a separate line item for all periods presented. All continuing operations line items presented exclude TeraOptix results. During fiscal 2004, we recorded impairment charges on our former Westborough telecommunications facility in the second and fourth fiscal quarters. In the second quarter of fiscal 2004, the impairment charge was based on the then current fair value based on an appraisal from an independent third party. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, management changed the marketing of the facility to a general purpose manufacturing facility from clean room space. We received offers on the building during the fourth quarter from two separate independent third parties. Based on the offers, management determined that the fair value of the vacant facility was $2.0 million and an additional impairment charge was recorded. The total impairment charges recorded in fiscal 2004 were $6.4 million, net of tax of $3.4 million. In fiscal 2005, we recorded an additional impairment charge and adjustments of $0.1 million, net of tax of $43,000, to reflect the fair value based on final negotiations of a pending sale. The sale of the facility was completed in March 2005 for $1.9 million, net of selling expenses.

Restatement

We are restating our consolidated financial statements for fiscal years 2005, 2004, and 2003 included in this Form 10-K/A for corrections in the accounting of intercompany transactions from certain of our foreign operations. Our restated consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K/A also include disclosure of restated unaudited quarterly results for fiscal 2005 and 2004. The corrections are the result of our failure to eliminate certain intercompany revenues attributed to our Singapore and Taiwan offices, which resulted in our overstating reported revenues, from fiscal 2001 through fiscal 2005. The tax effects on the corrections and other minor adjustments have also been reflected in these restatements. The fiscal 2002 and 2001 adjustments were insignificant and will be corrected through a prior period adjustment to retained earnings and currency translation effects in the accumulated other comprehensive income balance of the stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheet as of July 1, 2002. The fiscal 2003 adjustments will reduce, from previously filed results, revenues by $0.4 million from

15


$102.6 million; earnings from continuing operations by $0.2 million (net of income tax effects and certain other minor adjustments) from $1.4 million; and earnings per share from continuing operations by $0.01 from $0.09. Net loss per share, after discontinued operations, increased by $0.01 from $0.60. The fiscal 2004 adjustments will reduce, from previously filed results, revenues by $0.4 million from $116.6 million; earnings from continuing operations by $20,000 (net of income tax effects and certain other minor adjustments) from $4.2 million; and will have no effect on earnings per share from continuing operations or net loss per share. The fiscal 2005 adjustments will reduce, from previously filed results, revenues by $0.8 million from $142.2 million; earnings from continuing operations by $0.8 million (net of income tax effects and certain other minor adjustments) from $10.2 million; earnings per share from continuing operations by $0.04 from $0.56; and net income per share by $0.04 from $0.54.

The restated financial statements do not affect the Company’s business outlook for future fiscal periods, nor impact the Company’s cash position or future cash flows from operations.

For fiscal 2005, net sales in the semiconductor segment were $79.0 million, or 56% of total net sales, as compared with $66.8 million, or 57%, in the prior year period. The increase in net sales of $12.2 million within the semiconductor segment was primarily due to an increase in net sales to the Pacific Rim of $5.3 million primarily driven by flat panel sales of $3.3 million and increased metrology volume from China and Taiwan. In addition, sales in Europe increased $5.8 million, primarily due to optics sales. Net sales for fiscal 2005 and 2004 included $15.6 million and $16.1 million, respectively, from development services agreements. In fiscal 2005 we signed two development agreement amendments with Canon Inc. for additional add-on work to our existing development agreement originally executed in fiscal 2003. In February 2005, we also signed a new development agreement with Canon Inc. These new contracts totaled approximately $41.0 million of which $14.2 million was recognized as revenue in the current year. It is expected that the remaining revenue will be recognized during fiscal 2006 and the first half of fiscal 2007.

For fiscal 2005, net sales in the industrial segment were $62.3 million, or 44% of total net sales, as compared with $49.5 million, or 43%, in the prior year period. The increase in net sales of $12.8 million within the industrial segment was primarily due to an increase in domestic sales of $12.3 million and Europe sales of $0.8 million. The increase in domestic sales was primarily due to increases in the optical assembly manufacturing unit of $10.3 million for laser eye surgery systems, increased engineering services, and optics services for NIF. Increased sales in Europe was primarily related to an increase in automotive related sales.

Approximately 82% of all fiscal 2005 sales were in U.S. dollars. Significant changes in the values of foreign currencies relative to the value of the U.S. dollar can impact the sales of our products in export markets, as would changes in the general economic conditions in those markets. The impact of changes in foreign currency values on our sales cannot be measured.

16


Management believes the percentage of sales in foreign currencies may increase in the coming year due to an increase in sales denominated in yen to Japanese customers.

Gross profit for fiscal 2005 totaled $53.3 million, an increase of $10.6 million, or 25%, from $42.7 million in the prior fiscal year. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for fiscal 2005 and 2004 was 38% and 37%, respectively. The increased margin was primarily due to product mix with increases in sales on higher margin products and increased margins on the development services revenue, in which the newer contracts carry a slightly higher margin than did the original agreement.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) in fiscal 2005 amounted to $24.9 million, an increase of $0.3 million, or 1%, from fiscal 2004. SG&A as a percentage of net sales in fiscal 2005 was 18%, as compared with 21% in fiscal 2004. SG&A in fiscal 2005 included increases in profit sharing accruals of $1.0 million, and professional services of $0.8 million, partially offset by several one-time adjustments aggregating to $0.8 million, reduced bad debt expense of $0.5 million, and decreases of domestic commissions of $0.2 million.

Research, development, and engineering expenses (“RD&E”) in fiscal 2005 increased by $0.4 million, or 3%, to $13.4 million from $13.0 million in the comparable prior year period. RD&E as a percentage of net sales in fiscal 2005 was 9%, as compared with 11% in fiscal 2004. R&D costs in 2005 were primarily driven within the Precision Positioning System products with headcount additions to meet redesign projects and the flat panel area with continued development of next generation tools.

Our operating profit in fiscal 2005 was $15.0 million, as compared with an operating profit of $5.1 million in fiscal 2004. Operating profit as a percentage of sales in fiscal 2005 was 11%, as compared with the operating profit as a percentage of sales of 4% in fiscal 2004.

The income tax expense from continuing operations in fiscal 2005 totaled $5.7 million, or 36% of pretax profits, which compares with an income tax expense of $1.7 million, or 27% of pretax profits, in fiscal 2004. The increase in the tax rate was primarily due to the diminished effect of certain tax credits on a higher income base and more income associated with higher tax jurisdictions. The overall effective tax rate, including the tax effect of the discontinued operations, for fiscal 2005 was 35%, as compared with an income tax benefit of 42% in fiscal 2004.

We recorded net earnings of $9.0 million for fiscal 2005 as compared with a net loss of $3.4 million for fiscal 2004. On a diluted per share basis, the net income was $0.50 per share for fiscal 2005 as compared with a net loss of $0.19 per share for fiscal 2004. The net earnings for fiscal 2005 included losses of $0.3 million, net of tax, related to the operations of our discontinued TeraOptix unit and charges of $0.1 million, net of tax, related to the disposal of our discontinued TeraOptix unit. The charge related to the disposal of our discontinued TeraOptix unit was primarily due to the sale of our vacant facility in Westborough, Massachusetts in the third quarter of fiscal 2005. The net loss for fiscal 2004 included losses of $1.3 million, net of tax, related to the operations of our discontinued TeraOptix unit and charges of $6.4 million, net of tax, related to the disposal of our discontinued TeraOptix unit reflecting changes in the fair value of the Westborough facility. The earnings from continuing operations for fiscal 2005 was $9.4 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, as compared with earnings from continuing operations of $4.2 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, for fiscal 2004.

Backlog at June 30, 2005 totaled $66.6 million, an increase of $11.7 million, or 21%, from $54.9 million at June 30, 2004. The year-end fiscal 2005 backlog consisted of $28.8 million, or 43%, in the semiconductor segment and $37.8 million, or 57%, in the industrial segment. Orders for fiscal 2005 totaled $153.9 million. Orders by segment for fiscal 2005 consisted of $75.4 million, or 49%, in the semiconductor segment and $78.5 million, or 51%, in the industrial segment. The increase in the backlog is primarily related to an increase in domestic region orders. Domestic orders were driven by large custom optics and optical assembly orders, as well as an increase in orders received by our applied optics group.

Fiscal 2004 Compared with Fiscal 2003

Net sales of $116.3 million for fiscal 2004 increased by $14.1 million, or 14%, from the comparable prior year period sales of $102.2 million. Net sales for fiscal 2004 included $16.1 million from development services agreements, as compared with $18.8 million in the prior fiscal year. The first developmental services agreement is expected to be substantially completed in the second quarter of fiscal 2005 with minimal finishing work through the third quarter. We have signed an additional agreement letter that has allowed us to begin a new development project with the expectation that a follow-on contract will be signed by the fall of this year. For fiscal 2004, net sales in the semiconductor segment were $66.8 million, or 57% of total net sales, as compared with $58.9 million, or 58%, in the prior year period and net sales in the industrial segment were $49.5 million, or 43% of total net sales, as compared with $43.3 million, or 42%, in the prior year period. The increase in net sales in the semiconductor segment was primarily due to general increases in the number of products sold across most product

17


categories. The sales of flat panel systems also contributed to the increase. The industrial sector showed strong sales, particularly large aperture metrology shipments to the defense and aerospace sectors.

Sales to the Americas, primarily the United States, amounted to $33.9 million in fiscal 2004, an increase of $2.8 million, or 9%, from fiscal 2003 levels of $31.1 million. Sales to Japan during fiscal 2004 amounted to $61.1 million, an increase of $6.4 million, or 12%, from fiscal 2003 sales levels, primarily due to an increase in orders from Canon, Inc. Sales to Europe/Other, primarily Europe, amounted to $8.4 million, a decrease of $1.9 million, or 18%, from fiscal 2003. Sales to the Pacific Rim, excluding Japan, amounted to $12.8 million, an increase of $6.7 million, or 110%, from 2003 sales levels, primarily due to an increase in flat panel and large aperture sales.

Approximately 89% of all fiscal 2004 sales were in U.S. dollars. Significant changes in the values of foreign currencies relative to the value of the U.S. dollar can impact the sales of our products in export markets, as would changes in the general economic conditions in those markets. The impact of changes in foreign currency values on our sales cannot be measured. Management believes the percentage of sales in foreign currencies may increase in the coming year due to an increase in sales denominated in yen to Japanese customers.

Gross profit for fiscal 2004 totaled $42.7 million, an increase of $7.6 million, or 22%, from $35.1 million in the prior fiscal year. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for fiscal 2004 and 2003 was 37% and 34%, respectively. Gross profit for fiscal 2004 included $3.5 million from the development services agreements, as compared with $3.8 million for fiscal 2003. The increased margin was primarily due to product mix with increases in sales on higher margin products and a decrease in the development services revenue, which carry a lower margin as a percentage of total revenues.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) in fiscal 2004 amounted to $24.6 million, an increase of $3.8 million, or 19%, from fiscal 2003. SG&A as a percentage of net sales in fiscal 2004 was 21%, as compared with 20% in fiscal 2003. The increase in SG&A for fiscal 2004 is primarily related to increases in various personnel costs including incentive programs, and external commissions.

Research and development expenses (“R&D”) in fiscal 2004 amounted to $13.0 million, an increase of $0.3 million, or 2%, from $12.7 million in the comparable prior year period. R&D as a percentage of net sales in fiscal 2004 was 11%, as compared with 12% in fiscal 2003. R&D costs in 2004 included a full year of our applied optics group, partially offset by decreases associated with production starts in flat panel and optics.

Our operating profit in fiscal 2004 was $5.1 million, as compared with an operating profit of $1.6 million in fiscal 2003. Operating profit as a percentage of sales in fiscal 2004 was 4%, as compared with the operating profit as a percentage of sales of 2% in fiscal 2003.

The income tax expense from continuing operations in fiscal 2004 totaled $1.7 million, or 27% of pretax profits, which compares with an income tax expense of $0.3 million, or 16% of pretax profits in fiscal 2003. The effective tax rates for fiscal 2004 and 2003 relate primarily to large R&D credits being applied to low pretax profits from continuing operations. The overall effective tax rate, including the tax effect of the discontinued operations, for fiscal years 2004 and 2003 was an income tax benefit of 42% and 38%, respectively.

We recorded a net loss of $3.4 million for fiscal 2004 as compared with a net loss of $10.8 million for fiscal 2003. On a diluted per share basis, the net loss was $0.19 per share for fiscal 2004 as compared with a net loss of $0.61 per share for fiscal 2003. The net loss for fiscal 2004 includes losses of $1.3 million, net of tax, related to the operations of our discontinued TeraOptix unit and charges of $6.4 million, net of tax, related to the disposal of our discontinued TeraOptix unit. The charge related to the disposal of our discontinued TeraOptix unit was primarily due to the downward adjustments in our second and fourth fiscal quarters of 2004 in the fair market value of our vacant facility in Westborough, Massachusetts. The fourth quarter charge represents our decision to market the property as general manufacturing space in contrast to marketing the property with clean room laboratory space. The net loss for fiscal 2003 includes losses of $2.5 million related to the operations of our discontinued TeraOptix unit and charges of $9.7 million related to the disposal of our discontinued TeraOptix unit. The earnings from continuing operations for fiscal 2004 was $4.2 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, as compared with earnings from continuing operations of $1.4 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for fiscal 2003.

Backlog at June 30, 2004 totaled $54.9 million, an increase of $17.7 million, or 47%, from $37.2 million at June 30, 2003. The year-end fiscal 2004 backlog consisted of $33.2 million, or 60%, in the semiconductor segment and $21.7 million, or 40%, in the industrial segment. Orders for fiscal 2004 totaled $134.2 million. Orders by segment for fiscal 2004 consisted of $79.6 million, or 59%, in the semiconductor segment and $54.6 million, or 41%, in the industrial segment. The increase in the backlog is primarily related to an increase in both domestic and Japan region orders. Domestic orders were driven by large custom optics and optical assembly orders, as well as an increase in orders received by our applied optics group. Orders

18


in Japan increased as we diversified our customer base in the region, coupled with an increase in product orders from Canon. We currently have $7.7 million of flat panel system orders in backlog at June 30, 2004 as compared with $2.7 million at June 30, 2003.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Sales to Canon Inc., a stockholder, and Canon Sales Co., Inc., a distributor of certain of our products in Japan and a subsidiary of Canon Inc., amounted to $51.9 million (37% of net sales), $57.3 million (49% of net sales), and $52.8 million (52% of net sales), for the years ended June 30, 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively. Selling prices of products sold to Canon Inc. and Canon Sales Co., Inc. are based, generally, on the normal terms customarily given to distributors. Revenues generated from a development contract with Canon are recorded on a cost-plus basis. At June 30, 2005 and 2004, there was approximately, in the aggregate, $4.0 million and $10.9 million, respectively, of trade accounts receivable from Canon.

In September 2002, we entered into a contract with Canon Inc. related to the development of certain interferometers. In March 2004, we signed a preliminary agreement to begin further add-on work; the definitive agreement for this additional work was signed in December 2004. In February 2005, we entered into two additional agreements with Canon Inc. related to the development of prototype production tools and accessories. During the twelve months ended June 30, 2005, we recognized revenue of $15.6 million for the original contract and subsequent add–on work compared with $16.1 million for the comparable prior period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 2005, working capital was $63.4 million, an increase of $4.9 million from the $58.5 million at June 30, 2004. We maintained cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities at June 30, 2005 totaling$56.9million. This represents an increase of $22.5million from June 30, 2004. The increase in cash was primarily attributable to progress payments from the developmental services agreement and cash generated from our operating results. The increase in cash was partially offset by an increase in inventory and capital expenditures. This increase in inventory was primarily attributable to an increase in metrology inventory for flat panel display systems and to other product lines to support the backlog.

We have sold our vacant Westborough, Massachusetts, facility. The sale transaction was completed in the third quarter of fiscal 2005 and generated approximately $1.9 million in cash, net of selling expenses.

There were no borrowings outstanding under our $3.0 million bank line of credit at June 30, 2005.

Acquisitions of property, plant, and equipment increased $2.4 million to $10.0 million for fiscal 2005 from $7.6 million for fiscal 2004. The increase was primarily due to the completion of construction on an 18,000 square foot addition to our Middlefield facility which had associated capitalized costs in fiscal 2005 of $2.7 million.

Although cash requirements will fluctuate based on the timing and extent of various factors, management believes that cash generated from operations, together with the liquidity provided by existing cash balances and borrowing capability, will be sufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements for the next 12 months.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

RISK FACTORS THAT MAY IMPACT FUTURE RESULTS

Industry Concentration and Cyclicality

Our business is significantly dependent on capital expenditures and component requirements for manufacturers in the semiconductor industry. This industry is cyclical and has historically experienced periods of oversupply, resulting in significantly reduced demand for capital equipment, including the products manufactured and marketed by us. For the foreseeable future, our operations will continue to be dependent on the capital expenditures in this industry which, in turn, is largely dependent on the market demand in the semiconductor markets.

Customer Concentration; Relationship with Canon

During fiscal 2005, 2004, and 2003, sales to Canon Inc. and Canon Sales Co., Inc. (collectively, “Canon”), our largest customer in those periods, accounted for 37%, 49%, and 52% of our net sales, respectively. We expect that sales to Canon will continue to represent a significant percentage of our net sales for the foreseeable future. Canon is an original investor in our company, the owner at June 30, 2005 of approximately 7% of our outstanding shares of common stock, and is a distributor of certain of our products in the Japanese market. A reduction or delay in orders from this customer, including reductions or delays due to market, economic, or competitive conditions in the industries in which we serve, could have a material adverse effect upon our results of operations. Our customers, including Canon, generally do not enter into long-term agreements obligating them to purchase our products.

Revenues Derived From International Sales and Foreign Operations

We sell our products internationally, primarily to customers in Japan and throughout the Pacific Rim. Net sales to customers outside the United States accounted for approximately 66%, 71%, and 70% of our net sales in each of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively, and are expected to continue to account for a substantial percentage of our net sales.

International sales and foreign operations are subject to inherent risks, including the economic conditions in these various foreign countries and their trading partners, political instability, longer payment cycles, greater difficulty in accounts receivable collection, compliance with foreign laws, changes in regulatory requirements, tariffs or other barriers, difficulties in obtaining export licenses, staffing and managing foreign operations, exposure to currency exchange fluctuations, transportation delays, and potentially adverse tax consequences.

Our sales and costs are negotiated and paid primarily in U.S. dollars. However, changes in the values of foreign currencies relative to the value of the U.S. dollar can render our products comparatively more expensive to the extent locally produced alternative products are available. Such conditions could negatively impact international sales of our products and foreign operations, as would changes in the general economic conditions in those markets. For our sales which are based in local currency, we are exposed to foreign exchange fluctuations from the time customers are invoiced in local currency until collection occurs. For fiscal 2005, approximately 18% of our sales were denominated in foreign currencies. Management believes the percentage of sales in foreign currencies may increase in the coming year due to an increase in sales to Japanese customers denominated in yen. In the third quarter of fiscal 2005, we began hedging certain intercompany transactions by entering into forward contracts to reduce the impact of adverse fluctuations on earnings associated with foreign currency exchange rate changes. We do not enter into any derivative transactions for speculative purposes. These contracts are entered into for periods consistent with the currency transaction exposures, generally three to six months. Generally, any gains and losses on the fair value of these contracts are expected to be largely offset by gains and losses on the underlying transactions. There can be no assurance that risks inherent in international sales and foreign operations will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in the future.

Risks Associated with Acquisitions

Our growth strategy includes expanding our products and services, and we may seek acquisitions to strategically expand our business. We regularly review potential acquisitions of businesses, technologies, or products complementary to our business and periodically engage in discussions regarding such possible acquisitions. Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including some or all of the following: substantial cash expenditures and capital investments; potentially dilutive issuance of equity securities; incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities; amortization of certain intangible assets; difficulties in assimilating the operations and products of the acquired companies; diverting our management’s attention away from other business concerns; risks of entering markets in which we have limited or no direct experience; the inability to manage the growth expected for various acquisitions; potential loss of key employees of the acquired companies in the process of integrating personnel with disparate business backgrounds; and combining different corporate cultures.

We cannot assure you that any acquisition will result in long-term benefits to us or that our management will be able to effectively manage the acquired businesses. We may also incorrectly judge the value or worth of an acquired company or

20


business. We have recently disposed or divested ourselves of several companies or lines of business that were acquired by us in the past few years, at a significant net loss to us.

Quarterly Fluctuations

Our quarterly and annual operating results have varied in the past and may vary significantly in the future depending on factors such as: the effect of our acquisitions and consequent integration; budgeting cycles of our customers; the size, timing, and recognition of revenue from significant orders; increased competition; our ability to develop innovative products; the timing of new product releases by us or our competitors; market acceptance of our products; changes in our and our competitors’ pricing policies; changes in operating expenses and personnel changes; changes in our business strategy; and general economic factors.

Due to these and other factors, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our operating results may not be meaningful. You should not rely on our results for one quarter as any indication of our future performance. In future periods, our operating results may be below the expectations of public market analysts or investors. If this occurs, the price of our common stock would likely decrease.

Current conditions in the domestic and global economies are extremely uncertain. As a result, it is difficult to estimate the level of growth for the economy as a whole or of capital expenditures in the semiconductor and industrial markets. Because all of the components of our budgeting and forecasting are dependent on estimates of spending within these markets, the prevailing economic uncertainty renders estimates of future revenue and expenses even more difficult than usual to make.

Backlog

We schedule the production of our systems based in part upon order backlog. Due to possible customer changes in delivery schedules and cancellations of orders, our backlog at any particular date is not necessarily indicative of actual sales for any succeeding period. There can be no assurance that amounts included in backlog will ultimately result in future sales. A reduction in backlog during any particular period, or the failure of our backlog to result in future sales could adversely affect our results of operations.

Sales Cycle

Our lengthy and variable qualification and sales cycle makes it difficult to predict the timing of a sale or whether a sale will be made, which may cause us to have excess manufacturing capacity or inventory and negatively impact our operating results. As is typical in the industry, our customers generally expend significant efforts in evaluating and qualifying our products and manufacturing process. This evaluation and qualification process frequently results in a lengthy sales cycle, typically ranging from three to six months and sometimes longer. While our customers are evaluating our products and before they place an order with us, we may incur substantial sales, marketing, and research and development expenses, expend significant management efforts, increase manufacturing capacity and order long-lead-time supplies prior to receiving an order. Even after this evaluation process, it is possible that a potential customer will not purchase our products. In addition, product purchases are frequently subject to unplanned processing and other delays, particularly with respect to larger customers for which our products represent a very small percentage of their overall purchase activity.

If we increase capacity and order supplies in anticipation of an order that does not materialize, our gross margins may be negatively impacted and we may have to carry or write off excess inventory. Even if we receive an order, the additional manufacturing capacity that we add to service the customer’s requirements may be underutilized in a subsequent quarter. Either situation could cause our results of operations to be adversely affected. Our long sales cycles also may cause our revenues and operating results to vary significantly and unexpectedly from quarter to quarter.

Prediction of Manufacturing Requirements

If we fail to predict our manufacturing requirements accurately, we could incur additional costs or experience manufacturing delays, which could cause us to lose orders or customers and result in lower net sales. We currently use a rolling 12-month forecast based primarily on our anticipated product orders and our product order history to help determine our requirements for components and materials. It is very important that we accurately predict both the demand for our products and the lead-time required to obtain the necessary components and raw materials. Lead times for materials and components that we order vary significantly and depend on factors such as the specific supplier, the size of the order, contract terms, and demand for each component at a given time. If we underestimate our requirements, we may have inadequate manufacturing capacity or inventory, which could interrupt manufacturing of our products and result in delays in shipments and net sales. If we overestimate our requirements, we could have excess inventory of parts. In addition, delays in the manufacturing of our products could cause us to lose orders or customers.

21


Possible Volatility of Stock Price

We believe that factors such as the announcement of new products or technologies by us or our competitors, market conditions in the semiconductor and industrial markets, and quarterly fluctuations in financial results are expected to cause the market price of our common stock to vary substantially. Further, our net sales or results of operations in future quarters may be below the expectations of public market securities analysts and investors. In such event, the price of the common stock would likely decline. In addition, historically the stock market has experienced price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the market prices for many high technology companies and which often have been unrelated to the operating performance of such companies. The market volatility may adversely affect the market price of shares of our common stock.

Competition

We face competition from a number of companies in all our markets, many of which have greater manufacturing and marketing capabilities, and greater financial, technological, and personnel resources. In addition, we compete with the internal development efforts of our current and prospective customers, some of which may attempt to become vertically integrated. Our competitors can be expected to continue to improve the design and performance of their products and to introduce new products with competitive price/performance characteristics. Competitive pressures may necessitate price reductions, which can adversely affect results of operations. Although we believe that we have certain technical and other advantages over some of our competitors, maintaining such advantages will require a continued high level of investment by our company in research and development and sales, marketing, and service. There can be no assurance that we will have sufficient resources to continue to make such investments or that we will be able to make the technological advances necessary to maintain such competitive advantages. In addition, there can be no assurance that the bases of competition in the industries in which we compete will not shift.

Technological Change and New Product Development

The market for our products is characterized by rapidly changing technology. Our future success will continue to depend upon our ability to enhance our current products and to develop and introduce new products that keep pace with technological developments and evolving industry standards, respond to changes in customer requirements, and achieve market acceptance. The development of new technologically advanced products is a complex and uncertain process requiring high levels of innovation, as well as the accurate anticipation of technological and market trends.

We commit significant financial and personnel resources on a continuous basis to redesign and enhance our instruments, systems, and components and upgrade our proprietary software technology incorporated in our products. Any failure by us to anticipate or respond adequately to technological developments and customer requirements, or any significant delays in product development or introduction, could have a material adverse effect on our business and impact our close relationships with customers. This could have an impact on customers’ willingness to share proprietary information about their requirements and participate in collaborative efforts with us. There can be no assurance that our customers will continue to provide us with timely access to such information, that we will be successful in developing and marketing new products and services or product and service enhancements on a timely basis, or respond effectively to technological changes or new product announcements by others. In addition, there can be no assurance the new products and services or product enhancements, if any, which we developed will achieve market acceptance.

Dependence on Proprietary Technology

Our success is heavily dependent upon our proprietary technology. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by us to protect our proprietary technology will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of our technology by third parties or will be adequate under the laws of some foreign countries, which may not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as do laws of the United States. In addition, there remains the possibility that others will “reverse engineer” our products in order to determine their method of operation and introduce competing products or that others will develop competing technology independently. Any such adverse circumstances could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Dependence on Key Personnel

Our success depends in large part upon the continued services of many of our highly skilled personnel involved in management, research, development and engineering, sales and marketing, manufacturing, and support and upon our ability to attract and retain additional highly qualified employees. Our employees may voluntarily terminate their employment with us at any time. Competition for these individuals from a variety of employers, including our competitors and companies in computer or technology-related industries, at times is intense. We cannot assure you that we will be able to retain our existing personnel or attract and retain additional personnel.

Dependence on Third-Party Suppliers

We are dependent on suppliers for raw materials and various electrical, mechanical, and optical supplies, including fiber and electronic components and modules. Although we enter, either directly or through our contract manufacturers, into purchase

22


orders with our suppliers based on our forecasts, we do not have any guaranteed supply arrangements with these suppliers. Moreover, as our demand for supplies increases, we may not be able to obtain these supplies in a timely manner. If any relationship with a key supplier is terminated or if a supplier fails or is unable to provide reliable services or equipment and we are unable to reach suitable alternative solutions quickly, we may experience significant delays and additional costs in the manufacturing of our products. If our key suppliers cease manufacturing the supplies we require, if their manufacturing operations are interrupted for any significant amount of time, or if they are unable or unwilling to supply us for any other reason, including capacity restraints, then we may be at least temporarily unable to obtain these supplies, thus exposing us to significant delays and additional costs. Currently there are only a limited number of companies that are capable of supplying optical materials in the quantity and of the quality we require.

Undetected Product Defects

Our products are deployed in large and complex systems and may contain defects that are not detected until after our products have been installed, which could damage our reputation and cause us to lose customers. We design some of our products for deployment in large and complex optical networks. Because of the nature of these products, they can only be fully tested for reliability when deployed in networks for long periods of time. Our customers may discover defects in our products only after they have been fully deployed and operated under peak stress conditions. In addition, our products are combined with products from other vendors. As a result, should problems occur, it might be difficult to identify the source of the problem. These conditions increase the risk that we could experience, among other things: loss of customers; damage to our brand reputation; failure to attract new customers or achieve market acceptance; diversion of development and engineering resources; and legal actions by our customers. The occurrence of any one or more of the foregoing factors could cause us to experience losses, incur liabilities, and cause our net sales to decline.

Environmental Regulations

Environmental regulations applicable to our manufacturing operations could limit our ability to expand or subject us to substantial costs. We are subject to a variety of environmental regulations relating to the use, storage, discharge, and disposal of hazardous chemicals used during our manufacturing processes. Any failure by us to comply with present and future regulations could subject us to future liabilities or the suspension of production. In addition, such regulations could restrict our ability to expand our facilities or could require us to acquire costly equipment or to incur other significant expenses to comply with environmental regulations.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

The following discussion about our market risk involves forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

We maintain a portfolio of cash equivalents and marketable securities including institutional money market funds (which may include commercial paper, certificates of deposit, and U.S. treasury securities), government agency securities, and corporate bonds. Our interest income is sensitive to changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates, particularly on our short-term instruments. The table below presents investment amounts and related weighted average interest rates by year of maturity for our investment portfolio.

Exchange Rate Sensitivity

Approximately 82% of our fiscal 2005 sales were in U.S. dollars. At June 30, 2005, our backlog included orders in U.S. dollars of $57.3million, or 86%of the total backlog. Substantially all of our costs are negotiated and paid in U.S. dollars. Significant changes in the values of foreign currencies relative to the value of the U.S. dollar can impact sales of our products

23


in export markets as would changes in the general economic conditions in those markets. For our sales which are based in local currency, we are exposed to foreign exchange fluctuations from the time customers are invoiced in local currency until collection occurs.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2005, we began hedging certain intercompany transactions by entering into forward contracts to reduce the impact of adverse fluctuations on earnings associated with foreign currency exchange rate changes. We do not enter into any derivative transactions for speculative purposes. These contracts are entered into for periods consistent with the currency transaction exposures, generally three to six months. Generally, any gains and losses on the fair value of these contracts are expected to be largely offset by gains and losses on the underlying transactions. Management believes the percentage of sales in foreign currencies may increase in the coming year due to an increase in sales denominated in yen to Japanese customers.

The majority of our foreign currency transactions and foreign operations are in the euro and Japanese yen. In the absence of a substantial increase in sales orders in currency other than U.S. dollars, we believe a 10% appreciation or depreciation of the U.S. dollar against the euro and yen would have an immaterial impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K which we filed on March 29, 2006 and as described in our Explanatory Note to this Form 10-K/A and note 2 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements, in connection with conducting an internal review of our tax return, we determined that inadvertent accounting errors were made in the consolidation of our intercompany revenues from certain of our foreign operations. The errors are the result of our failure to identify and eliminate certain intercompany revenues attributed to our Singapore and Taiwan offices, which resulted in our overstating reported revenues, from fiscal 2001 through the second quarter of fiscal 2006. Based on the impact of the aforementioned accounting errors, we determined to restate our consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2005 and for the year ended June 30, 2005. The consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2003 and 2004 included in this Form 10-K/A are also being restated. Our restated consolidated financial statements also include disclosure of restated quarterly results for fiscal 2005 and 2004.

Management has determined that the internal control deficiency that resulted in the aforementioned accounting errors is a material weakness, as defined by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s Auditing Standard No. 2. The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board has defined a material weakness as “a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.” We have determined that the material weakness was that we did not maintain adequate policies and procedures to ensure that intercompany accounts were properly reconciled and intercompany transactions were properly identified and eliminated in the consolidation process.

We carried out a re-evaluation, as of June 30, 2005, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. As a result of this re-evaluation and in light of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting referenced above, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2005.

In response to this material weakness, management performed additional analyses and other post-closing procedures to ensure our restated consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believes the restated consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

(b) Report of Management on Zygo Corporation’s Internal Control Over Financial Reporting (Restated)

Management of Zygo Corporation (the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is identified in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board of directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

In the Company’s previously filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2005, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2005 was effective based upon criteria in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. However, on March 29, 2006, the Company determined that it needed to restate certain of its previously issued financial statements. As a result of such financial statement restatement, management reassessed the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and identified the following material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2005:

 

 

 

 

The Company did not have effective policies and procedures to ensure that intercompany accounts were properly reconciled and intercompany transactions were properly identified and eliminated. Specifically, insufficient technical resources were assigned to monitor inter-company accounts, and the Company had insufficient supervision and review of the consolidation process. As a result of this material weakness, previously issued consolidated financial statements contained material errors. The Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2003, 2004, and 2005 have been restated.

As a result of the aforementioned material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, management has revised its previously reported assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and has concluded that, as of June 30, 2005, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective. A material weakness in internal control over financial reporting is a control deficiency (within the meaning of Auditing Standard No. 2 of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB), or combination of control deficiencies, that results in there being more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.

Our restated assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2005 has been audited by KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their auditors’ report which is included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K/A.

c) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

(d) Remediation of Material Weakness

During the period from April to May 2006, we implemented remedial measures to address the identified material weakness. We improved procedures related to the recording and reporting of our inter-company transactions, including dedicating additional resources to our consolidation processes and the procedures and controls surrounding the consolidation process, and increased review and approval controls by senior financial personnel over the personnel that perform the consolidation. These improved procedures included ensuring that the inter-company activity is properly identified and eliminated in consolidation.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Zygo Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Zygo Corporation and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 30, 2005. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Zygo Corporation and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2005 and 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 30, 2005, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has restated its consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2005 and 2004 and for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 30, 2005.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Zygo Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated September 7, 2005, except as to the third, fourth, and fifth paragraphs of Report of Management on Zygo Corporation’s Internal Control Over Financial Reporting (Restated), which are as of June 20, 2006, expressed an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment of, and an adverse opinion on the effective operation of, internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2005.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Zygo Corporation

We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Report of Management on Zygo Corporation’s Internal Control Over Financial Reporting (Restated) under Item 9A(b), that Zygo Corporation did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2005, because of the effect of a material weakness identified in management’s assessment, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Zygo Corporation’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The following material weakness has been identified and included in management’s restated assessment as of June 30, 2005:

The Company did not have effective policies and procedures to ensure that intercompany accounts were properly reconciled and intercompany transactions were properly identified and eliminated. Specifically, insufficient technical resources were assigned to monitor inter-company accounts, and the Company had insufficient supervision and review of the consolidation process. As a result of this material weakness, previously issued consolidated financial statements contained material errors. The Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2003, 2004, and 2005 have been restated.

As stated in the fourth paragraph of Report of Management on Zygo Corporation’s Internal Control Over Financial Reporting (Restated), management’s assessment of the effectiveness of Zygo Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting has been restated to reflect the aforementioned material weakness in internal control over financial reporting.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Zygo Corporation and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 30, 2005. The aforementioned material weakness was considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2005 consolidated financial statements (as restated), and this report does not affect our report dated September 7, 2005, except as to note 2 to the consolidated financial statements which is as of June 20, 2006, which expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

F - 3


In our opinion, management’s restated assessment that Zygo Corporation did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Also, in our opinion, because of the effect of the material weakness described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, Zygo Corporation did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2005, 2004, and 2003
(Dollars in thousands, except for per share amounts)

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Operations and Principles of Consolidation

Zygo Corporation is a worldwide supplier in optical metrology instruments, precision optics, and elecro-optical design and manufacturing services, serving customers in the semiconductor capital equipment and industrial markets. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Zygo Corporation and its subsidiaries (“ZYGO,” “we,” “us,” “our” or “Company”). All material transactions and accounts with the subsidiaries have been eliminated from the consolidated financial statements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider cash and investments in securities with maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

Marketable Securities

We consider investments in securities with maturities at the date of purchase in excess of three months as marketable securities. Marketable securities consist primarily of corporate bonds, government agency securities, and tax-exempt bonds. All securities held by us at June 30, 2005 and 2004, were classified as held to maturity and recorded at cost. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related tax effect, on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity until realized.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined on a first-in, first-out basis) or market.

Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Management evaluates, on an ongoing basis, the carrying value of our property, plant, and equipment and makes adjustments when impairments are identified. Depreciation is based on the estimated useful lives of the various classes of assets and is computed using the straight-line method.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets include patents, trademarks, and license agreements. The cost of intangible assets is amortized on a straight-line basis, which ranges from 4-20 years.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the carrying value of intangible assets and other long-lived assets is reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances, both internally and externally, that may suggest impairment. Some factors considered important, which could trigger an impairment review, include a significant decrease in the market value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, a significant adverse change in the business climate that could affect the value of an asset, an accumulation of costs for an asset in excess of the amount originally expected, a current period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses or a projection that demonstrates continuing losses, and a current expectation that, more likely than not, a long-lived asset will be disposed of significantly before the end of its estimated useful life.

If such circumstances exist, the carrying value of long-lived assets are evaluated to determine if impairment exists based upon estimated undiscounted future cash flows over the remaining useful life of the assets and comparing that value to the carrying value of the assets. If the carrying value of the assets is greater than the estimated future cash flows, the assets are written down to the estimated fair value. The estimated fair value of the assets is based on a current market value of the assets. If a current market value is not readily available, a projected discounted cash flow method is applied using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in the current business model. Our cash flow estimates contain management’s best estimates, using appropriate and customary assumptions and projections at the time.

F - 9


Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue based on guidance provided in Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, “Revenue Recognition,” and in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, our price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. We recognize revenue on our standard products when title passes to the customer upon shipment. While our standard products generally require installation, the installation is considered a perfunctory performance obligation. The standard products do not have customer acceptance criteria. Generally, software is a component of our standard product and, as such, is not separately recognized as revenue. Standalone software products are recognized as revenue when they are shipped. We have standard rights of return that we account for as a warranty provision under SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies.” We do not have any price protection agreements or other post shipment obligations. For custom equipment where customer acceptance is part of the sales agreement, revenue is recognized when the customer has accepted the product. In cases where custom equipment does not have customer acceptance as part of the sales agreement, we recognize revenue upon shipment, as long as the system meets the specifications as agreed upon with the customer. Certain transactions have multiple deliverables, with the deliverables clearly defined. To the extent that the secondary deliverables are other than perfunctory, we recognize the revenue on each deliverable, if separable, or on the completion of all deliverables, if not separable. Revenue generated from development contracts are recorded on a cost-plus basis in the period services are rendered.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Earnings Per Share

Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.”

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of weighted average shares outstanding and diluted weighted average shares outstanding:

Stock Based Compensation

We have three stock-based compensation plans, which are described in note 15. We apply Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations in accounting for our plans. Since all options were granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant, no compensation cost has been recognized for our fixed option plans. Pro forma information regarding net earnings (loss) and net earnings (loss) per share is required by SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” which requires that the information be determined as if we had accounted for our stock options granted in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994 under the fair value method of the statement.

The fair value of options at date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes model. Our pro forma information is as follows:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires that reporting entities provide, to the extent practicable, the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value because they are short-term in nature.

Use of Estimates

Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to bad debts, inventories, long-lived assets, income taxes, and warranty obligations. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts included in the consolidated financial statements for the prior years have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment (Revised 2004)”. This statement requires companies to measure and recognize compensation expense for all share based payments based on their fair value. The standard becomes effective for interim or annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. We will adopt SFAS No. 123R in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 using the modified prospective method. While we are still evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 123R on our consolidated financial position and results of operations, our estimate of compensation expense related to share based payments to employees is not expected to exceed $2.5 million in fiscal 2006. SFAS No. 123R will primarily result in a change in our method of measuring and recognizing the fair value of our share-based grants, estimating forfeitures for all unvested awards, and accounting for awards to retirement eligible employees. In addition, changes made to our employee stock purchase plan for periods beginning July 1, 2005 will render the plan non-compensatory in accordance with SFAS No. 123R.

The FASB issued two FASB Staff Positions (“FSP”) that provide accounting guidance on how companies should account for the effects of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 that was signed into law on October 22, 2004. FSP No. FAS 109-1, “Application of FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004,” states that the manufacturers’ deduction provided for under this legislation should be accounted for as a special deduction instead of a tax rate change. FSP No. FAS 109-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004,” allows a company additional time to evaluate the effects of the legislation on any plan for reinvestment or repatriation of foreign earnings for purposes of applying SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” These FSP’s were effective as of December 21, 2004 and have no material effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

The FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs: an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, Inventory Pricing, June 1953.” This statement eliminates the “so abnormal” criteria in Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 43 and replaces it with a requirement that “abnormal freight, handling costs, and amounts of wasted materials (spoilage)” should be treated as current-period costs. The standard becomes effective for annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 151 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

The FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets,” that amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. The adoption of SFAS No. 153 in fiscal 2006 is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

The FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,” which primarily changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle for all voluntary changes or when an accounting pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. This will apply to accounting changes made after July 1, 2006.

In June 2005, FASB issued FSP No. 143-1, “Accounting for Electronic Equipment Waste Obligations,” that provides guidance on how commercial users and producers of electronic equipment should recognize and measure asset retirement obligations associated with the European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment. The adoption of FASB FSP No. 143-1 in the current quarter did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2: RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

We are restating our consolidated financial statements for fiscal years 2005, 2004, and 2003 in this Form 10-K/A for corrections in the accounting of intercompany transactions from certain of our foreign operations. In addition, certain disclosures in notes 1, 5, 17, and 18 to the consolidated financial statements contained in this report are being restated to reflect the corrections. Our restated consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K/A also include disclosure of restated unaudited quarterly results for fiscal 2005 and 2004 in note 21. The corrections are a result of our failure to identify and eliminate certain intercompany revenues attributed to our Singapore and Taiwan offices, which resulted in our overstating reported revenues, from fiscal 2001 through the second quarter of fiscal 2006. The tax effects on the corrections and other minor adjustments have also been reflected in these restatements. The fiscal 2002 and 2001 adjustments were insignificant and were corrected through an adjustment to retained earnings and currency translation effects in the accumulated other comprehensive income balance of the stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheet as of July 1, 2002.

The impact of the corrections on the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations is shown in the accompanying tables. Balance sheet adjustments for June 30, 2005 and 2004 primarily represent adjustments to retained earnings and currency translation effects to correct the balance sheets for overstating revenues and failing to properly eliminate intercompany revenues resulting in an improper entry to currency translation effects. In addition, deferred taxes were adjusted to reflect the income tax effects of the adjustments noted for overstating revenues. The balance sheets also reflect minor adjustments to correct other miscellaneous items identified in the course of the review of the intercompany transactions, none of which were individually significant. Adjustments to the statement of operations for fiscal years ended June 30, 2005, 2004, and 2003 primarily represent adjustments to sales to correct the overstatement of revenues and failing to properly eliminate intercompany revenues. Income tax expense was adjusted to reflect the income tax effects of the adjustments noted for overstating revenues. In addition, the statements of operations reflect minor adjustments to correct other miscellaneous items identified in the course of the review of the intercompany transactions, none of which was significant individually or in the aggregate.

NOTE 3: DIVESTITURES AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In September 2002, we committed to a planned disposition of our TeraOptix business unit (“TeraOptix”) which included recording impairment charges for the facility and equipment. During fiscal 2004, we recorded additional impairment charges on the facility in the second and fourth fiscal quarters. In the second quarter of fiscal 2004, the impairment charge was based on the then current fair value based on an appraisal from an independent third party. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, management changed the marketing of the facility to a general purpose manufacturing facility from clean room space. We received offers on the building during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 from two separate independent third parties. Based on the offers, management determined that the fair value of the vacant facility was $2,012 and an additional impairment charge was recorded. The total impairment charges recorded in fiscal 2004 were $6,392, net of tax of $3,425. In fiscal 2005, we recorded an additional impairment charge and adjustments of $124, net of tax of $43, to reflect the fair value based on final negotiations of a pending sale. The sale of the facility was completed in March 2005 for $1,918, net of selling expenses.

In fiscal 2004, we paid off the mortgage debt of $10,955 on the facility. The mortgage debt had carried interest at 7.5% per annum at the time of repayment, and required monthly principal payments of $70, plus interest, until April 2007 and a balloon payment of $8,200 in May 2007. In connection with the debt repayment, the Company also paid the balance of a related interest rate swap agreement of $1,109. This payment resulted in an additional charge to discontinued TeraOptix operations, recorded net of tax. Prior to the payment, in accordance with SFAS No. 133, as amended, the swap liability was recorded with a corresponding debit, net of tax, to stockholders’ equity. The aggregate payment of $12,064 on the mortgage debt ($10,955) and swap agreement ($1,109) was funded from the Company’s available cash and marketable securities.

The results and loss on disposal of the TeraOptix business unit have been presented as separate line items in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as discontinued operations, net of tax, for all periods presented.

NOTE 4: MARKETABLE SECURITIES

Marketable securities consisted primarily of corporate bonds, government agency securities, and tax-exempt bonds issued by various federal, state, and municipal agencies for both 2005 and 2004. Marketable securities at June 30, 2005 and 2004 are reported at cost. The gross unrealized gains on marketable securities of $48 and $90 at June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, are shown net of their related tax effects, resulting in balances of $32 and $62, respectively, as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. As of June 30, 2003, we transferred our marketable securities from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity. Accordingly, the gross unrealized gains, net of tax, of $32 in stockholders’ equity remaining as of June 30, 2005 will continue to be amortized over the remaining life of the securities. Amortization related to marketable securities was $77 and $43 in fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively. During fiscal 2004, we sold four securities totaling $1,001 that were classified

F - 18


as held to maturity. We sold these securities in order to comply with changes in our investment policy. The gain realized on the sale of these securities was $13.

Dividend and interest income is recognized when earned. Realized gains and losses are included in earnings and are derived using the specific identification method for determining the cost of securities sold.

The amortized cost, gross unrealized holding gains (losses), and fair value of held-to-maturity securities at June 30, 2005 and 2004 were as follows:

NOTE 9: BANK LINE OF CREDIT

We have a $3,000 unsecured bank line of credit bearing interest at our choice of either the prime rate (6.00% at June 30, 2005) or the one month LIBOR rate, plus a variable interest rate of 1.0% to 2.5%, based on a pricing grid related to a certain debt ratio, adjusted quarterly. The line of credit is available through November 17, 2005. At June 30, 2005 and 2004, no amounts were outstanding under the bank line of credit.

F - 20


NOTE 10: WARRANTY

A limited warranty is provided on our products for periods typically ranging from 3 to 12 months and allowances for estimated warranty costs are recorded during the period of sale. The determination of such allowances requires management to make estimates of product return rates and expected costs to repair or replace products under warranty. If actual return rates or repair and replacement costs, or both, differ significantly from management’s estimates, adjustments to recognize additional expense may be required.

The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of our accrued warranty liability, which is included in the “Other accrued expenses” line item in the consolidated balance sheets:

NOTE 11: LONG-TERM DEBT

In December 2003, we paid off the remaining mortgage debt of $10,955 on the TeraOptix facility and the interest rate swap agreement of $1,109. The mortgage debt had carried interest at 7.5% per annum at the time of repayment and required monthly principal payments of $70, plus interest, until April 2007 with a balloon payment of $8,200 in May 2007.

Interest payments on debt were $480 in fiscal 2004 and $1,021 in fiscal 2003.

NOTE 13: PROFIT-SHARING PLAN

We maintain a deferred profit-sharing plan under which substantially all full-time employees are eligible to participate. The profit-sharing plan consists of a cash distribution and a contribution to our 401(k) program. Profit-sharing contributions are determined annually at the discretion of the Board of Directors. We also maintain a 401(k) tax deferred payroll deduction program and an Employee Stock Ownership Program. Under the 401(k) program, employees may contribute a tax-deferred amount of up to 60% of their compensation, as defined. We may contribute to the 401(k) program an amount determined annually at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Under the Employee Stock Ownership Program, we may, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, contribute our own stock or contribute cash to purchase our own stock. The purchased stock’s fair market value can not exceed the maximum amount of employee stock ownership credit as determined under Section 416 of the Internal Revenue Code. Our contribution expenses related to the plans for the years ended June 30, 2005, 2004, and 2003, amounted to $2,070, $1,186, and $359, respectively.

On June 26, 2001, the Board of Directors granted a warrant to purchase 25,000 shares of our common stock to the Zetetic Institute, a non-profit organization that provides assistance to us in connection with certain research and development activities. The warrant has an exercise price of $18.64 per share, the closing price of the common stock on the date of the grant, and vested, in equal annual increments over the four-year period following the date of grant.

NOTE 15: STOCK OPTION PLANS

Employee Stock Option Plan

The Zygo Corporation Amended and Restated Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan permitted the granting of non-qualified options to purchase a total of 4,850,000 shares (adjusted for splits) of common stock at prices not less than the fair market value on the date of grant. There are no shares available for future grant under this plan, as the Plan expired on September 3, 2002. Options generally become exercisable at the rate of 25% of the shares each year commencing one year after the date of grant.

Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan

The Zygo Corporation Amended and Restated Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan permits the granting of non-qualified options to purchase a total of 620,000 shares (adjusted for splits) of common stock at prices not less than the fair market value on the date of grant. Under the terms of the Plan, as amended on September 24, 1999, each new non-employee director (other than a person who was previously an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries) was granted options to purchase 8,000 shares of common stock, generally, on his or her first day of service as a non-employee director; and each other non-employee director was granted options to purchase 3,000 shares of Common stock on an annual basis. All options are fully exercisable on the date of grant and have a 10-year term. The Plan, as amended, will expire on November 17, 2009. There are 99,000 shares available for future grant under the plan as of June 30, 2005. The Company does not intend to grant further options under the Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan. The Company granted stock options in fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004 to non-employee directors from the 2002 Equity Incentive Plan.

2002 Equity Incentive Plan

The Zygo Corporation 2002 Equity Incentive Plan permits the granting of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, or restricted stock to purchase a total of 1,500,000 shares of common stock. The exercise price per share of common stock covered by an option may not be less than the par value per share on the date of grant, and in case of an incentive stock option, the exercise price may not be less than the fair market value per share on the date of grant. The Plan will expire on August 27, 2012. There are 748,812 shares available for future grants under the plan as of June 30, 2005. These options generally vest over a four year period in quarterly increments. The Board of Directors may also amend the Plan to authorize the grant of other types of equity based awards, without further action by our stockholders. Non-employee directors are now granted options to purchase 6,000 shares of common stock on an annual basis and each new non-employee director is granted options to purchase 12,000 shares of common stock, generally, on their first day of service.

NOTE 16: EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

In November 2000, we adopted a non-compensatory Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). Under the ESPP, employees who elect to participate have the ability to purchase common stock at a 5% discount from the market value of such stock (15% discount from the market value for the period from November 2000 until June 30, 2005). The ESPP permits an enrolled employee to make contributions to purchase shares of common stock by having withheld from his or her salary an amount between 1% and 10% of compensation. The total number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the ESPP is 500,000. At June 30, 2005 and 2004, we had withheld $330 and $467, respectively, for the purchases of shares under this plan, and in July 2005 and 2004, we issued shares of common stock of approximately 35,000 in each year.

Income tax payments were $765 in fiscal 2005. Income tax refunds, net of payments, were $377 and $2,449 in fiscal 2004 and 2003, respectively.

The total income tax expense (benefit) differs from the amount computed by applying the applicable U.S. federal income tax rate of 35% in each of the fiscal years 2005, 2004, and 2003 to earnings before income taxes for the following reasons:

The deferred tax provisions for 2005 and 2004 do not reflect the tax benefit of $38 and $578, respectively, resulting from amounts charged to other comprehensive income and paid in capital, which includes $26 and $600 from the exercise of employee stock options in 2005 and 2004, respectively.

During 2005, we wrote off certain fully reserved state NOLs and credits. The write off of these state NOLs and credits is primarily responsible for the change in the valuation allowance, along with the release of certain reserves on foreign NOLs that we now believe we will be able to utilize. During 2005, we also recorded changes in deferred tax assets based on expected utilization in future years, including a benefit for a change in the expected federal tax rate from 34% to 35% based on future expected earnings and a charge for a reduction in the future expected tax benefit of fixed assets and other accruals.

Management believes it is more likely than not that the remaining net deferred tax assets of $31,207 will be realized as the results of future operations are expected to generate sufficient taxable income to do so.

At June 30, 2005, our share of the cumulative undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries was $2,369. No provision has been made for U.S. or additional foreign taxes on the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries because we intend to continue to reinvest these earnings. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability associated with these earnings is not practicable.

At June 30, 2005, we have federal, foreign, and state NOL carryforwards of approximately $63,208, $182, and $93,530, respectively, and various state credit carryforwards of $4,397. The federal NOL begins to expire in 2019 through 2025, while the state NOL and credits begin to expire in 2006 through 2025. The foreign NOL is carried forward until utilized. We also have federal general business credit carryforwards of approximately $5,468, which is available to reduce federal income taxes, if any, through 2019 and begin to expire in 2012. In addition, the Company also has alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards of approximately $6, which are available to reduce future federal regular income taxes, if any, over an indefinite period.

NOTE 19: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Sales to Canon, Inc., a stockholder representing approximately 7% ownership at June 30, 2005, and Canon Sales Co., Inc., a distributor of certain of our products in Japan and a subsidiary of Canon Inc., amounted to $51,887 (37% of net sales), $57,306 (49% of net sales), and $52,773 (52% of net sales), for the years ended June 30, 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively. Selling prices of products sold to Canon, Inc. and Canon Sales Co., Inc. are based, generally, on the normal terms given to distributors. Revenues generated from development contracts are recorded on a cost-plus basis.

In September 2002, we entered into a contract with Canon Inc. related to the development of certain interferometers. In March 2004, we signed a preliminary agreement to begin further add-on work; the definitive agreement for this additional work was signed in December 2004. In February 2005, we entered into two additional agreements with Canon Inc. related to the development of prototype production tools and accessories. During fiscal 2005, 2004, and 2003, we recognized revenue in the semiconductor segment of $15,617, $16,057, and $18,779, respectively, for the original contract and subsequent add-on work.

At June 30, 2005 and 2004, there was approximately, in the aggregate, $3,951 and $10,913, respectively, of trade accounts receivable from Canon, Inc. and Canon Sales Co., Inc. In addition, Canon Inc. paid us progress payments in accordance with the terms of the development contract. The total progress payments related to the development contract remaining at June 30, 2005 was $11,287.

NOTE 20: HEDGING ACTIVITIES

During the third quarter of fiscal 2005, we entered into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the impact of adverse fluctuations on earnings associated with foreign currency exchange rate changes. We do not enter into any derivative transactions for speculative purposes. These contracts are not designated as cash flow, fair value, or net investment hedges under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended, and therefore, are marked-to-market with changes in fair value recorded to earnings. These contracts are entered into for periods consistent with the currency transaction exposures, generally three to six months. Any gains and losses on the fair value of these contracts would largely offset corresponding losses and gains on the underlying transactions.

As of June 30, 2005, we had three foreign currency forward contracts outstanding. Net gains recognized from foreign currency forward contracts for fiscal 2005 was $75, and are included in other income in the consolidated statements of operations. These gains are substantially offset by foreign exchange losses on intercompany balances recorded by our subsidiaries. We did not enter into any derivative instruments to hedge foreign currency exposure prior to the third quarter of fiscal 2005.
