Inapplicable - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Former name or former address, if changed since last report) 2 ITEM 5. Other Events On February 13, 1996, the Company issued a press release announcing its results of operations for the first quarter, ending on January 28, 1996, of fiscal year 1996. A copy of the financial statements attached to the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference. From time to time, the Company will make "forward-looking statements" about its prospects for the future. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: o Growth in Semiconductor Demand. If growth in the demand for semiconductors were too slow, whether caused by slowing economic growth, slowing productivity or other factors, demand for semiconductor fabrication equipment would probably slow as well. o Competitive Challenges. If any of the Company's competitors were to develop products or services which are more cost-effective or technically superior, demand for the Company's equipment could slow. o Ability to Hire and Assimilate New Employees. Continued rapid growth in the demand for semiconductors could create difficulties in hiring a sufficient number of qualified personnel, especially in areas requiring technical expertise, and create difficulties in assimilating new employees, thereby slowing the rate at which such employees increase their productivity.
