RESEARCH ALERT - Electro Scientific

NEW YORK, July 7 (Reuters) - Salomon Smith Barney downgraded Electro Scientific Industries Inc. (ESIO - news) to outperform from buy, a market source
said.

-- the firm also trimmed its 1999 earnings estimate to $1.89 a share from $3.11 a share, the source said.

-- Additional details were not immediately available.

-- On Monday, Electro Scientific posted fourth quarter earnings of $6.3 million or $0.54 per diluted share compared with $7.3 million or $0.67 per diluted share a
year ago.

-- the company, which makes laser systems used in trimming and processing microelectronic circuitry, said its fourth quarter income was hurt by a shift of sales to
lower margin advanced-packaging products and costs associated with the initial output of mechanical drilling products in Portland, Ore.
