Kent, I you think are right about dropping "a little bit more". Here is an update on the PSR and PBR of each stock sorted by PBR. There are now 18 of the 41 stocks selling at less than 1 PBR. At the bottom of each column the average is shown. The average PSR is 1.15 and the average PBR is 1.51. 08/28/98 CLOSE 12 MONS 12 MONS SYMBOL COMPANY PRICE PSR PBR ASEC Aseco 2.00 0.18 0.31 WFR MEMC Electronic Materials 6.00 0.26 0.50 SVGI Silicon Valley Group 10.38 0.50 0.57 CFMT CFM Technologies 6.75 0.82 0.62 FSII FSI International 6.03 0.54 0.63 LTXX LTX 2.38 0.39 0.65 BRKS Brooks Automation 9.00 0.93 0.70 TGAL Tegal 3.13 0.85 0.74 SFAM SpeedFAM 13.81 1.19 0.75 WJ Watkins Johnson 20.31 0.74 0.76 SFLX Smartflex Systems 6.19 0.30 0.79 IPEC Integrated Process Equipment 6.59 0.62 0.85 LRCX Lam Research 13.19 0.48 0.86 MTSN Mattson Technology 4.13 0.72 0.89 GSNX Gasonics 5.50 0.67 0.94 IMSC Integrated Measurement Systems 7.31 1.38 0.95 AFLX Adflex Solutions 5.94 0.26 0.97 PHTN Photon Dynamics 2.44 0.71 0.98 KLIC Kulicke & Soffa Industries 13.38 0.64 1.01 MICN Micrion 8.25 0.61 1.02 SMTL Semitool 6.56 0.46 1.06 ASYT Asyst Technologies 11.75 0.88 1.08 EGLS Electroglas 11.13 1.43 1.13 COHU Cohu 17.00 0.75 1.18 MASK Align-Rite International 12.00 1.08 1.42 UTEK Ultratech Stepper 18.88 3.26 1.49 TER Teradyne 18.81 1.01 1.54 CMOS Credence Systems 15.94 1.31 1.62 NANO Nanometrics 5.78 1.21 1.71 DPMI Dupont Photomasks 28.63 1.60 1.79 PLAB Photronics 14.50 1.57 1.79 KLAC KLA Instruments 24.75 1.84 1.89 ATMI ATMI Inc 13.31 2.18 2.23 PRIA Pri Automation 13.41 1.48 2.25 VECO Veeco Instruments 25.50 1.28 2.68 ETEC Etec System 29.25 2.36 2.78 CYMI Cymer 12.75 1.66 2.89 NVLS Novellus Systems 28.69 1.56 2.99 AMAT Applied Materials 26.63 2.09 3.05 HELX Helix Technology 11.06 2.03 3.29 ASMLF ASM Lithography Holdings 22.25 3.45 6.45 TOTALS 521 1.15 1.51

Kent, I found a 10 page report today published by VLSI Research, Inc. It is a report on the "1998 10 Best Chip Equipment Suppliers". One category is companies supplying Wafer Processing Equipment with Sales less than $300M. On this list, FSII is listed as number 2 out of 10. You can read the entire report at: fabtech.org FSII isn't making any money, but they keep putting out quality products. <g>. Would be nice if they made a little money too. <g>
