Well, another bloodbath for the group this week - the group average went down 9 percent. Four stocks were up, 1 stayed the same, and 36 were down. The group closed at its lowest value ever - down 42 percent from its value on 4/25/97. The prior worst to date occurred 2 weeks ago - down 38 percent. One item of interest, the SOX-X was down 10 percent for the week, so it fared slightly worse than the group. I think that just reflects how badly the group has been beaten up to this point - it just doesn't have much more blood to give. 09/25/98 10/02/98 CLOSE CLOSE PERCENT SYMBOL COMPANY PRICE PRICE CHANGE SFAM SpeedFAM 10.50 12.50 19 GSNX Gasonics 3.56 4.00 12 PRIA Pri Automation 11.38 11.56 2 BRKS Brooks Automation 9.50 9.63 1 CFMT CFM Technologies 7.25 7.25 0 CYMI Cymer 9.13 9.00 -1 LTXX LTX 1.94 1.91 -2 NANO Nanometrics 6.88 6.75 -2 PHTN Photon Dynamics 3.00 2.94 -2 IMSC Integrated Measurement Systems 6.00 5.88 -2 MTSN Mattson Technology 3.50 3.38 -3 ASYT Asyst Technologies 7.13 6.88 -4 AFLX Adflex Solutions 3.13 3.00 -4 IPEC Integrated Process Equipment 7.44 7.06 -5 ASMLF ASM Lithography Holdings 16.50 15.63 -5 CMOS Credence Systems 13.63 12.88 -6 PLAB Photronics 13.50 12.75 -6 UTEK Ultratech Stepper 15.56 14.63 -6 FSII FSI International 5.63 5.28 -6 WJ Watkins Johnson 18.81 17.63 -6 KLIC Kulicke & Soffa Industries 14.00 12.94 -8 MASK Align-Rite International 11.25 10.38 -8 SMTL Semitool 6.38 5.88 -8 COHU Cohu 18.25 16.81 -8 ATMI ATMI Inc 14.00 12.88 -8 HELX Helix Technology 9.88 9.00 -9 TER Teradyne 19.38 17.50 -10 AMAT Applied Materials 26.88 23.94 -11 SFLX Smartflex Systems 6.25 5.56 -11 WFR MEMC Electronic Materials 4.38 3.88 -11 ASEC Aseco 1.31 1.16 -11 EGLS Electroglas 9.38 8.13 -13 TGAL Tegal 2.31 2.00 -13 LRCX Lam Research 11.38 9.69 -15 NVLS Novellus Systems 26.88 22.88 -15 VECO Veeco Instruments 33.06 28.13 -15 KLAC KLA Instruments 27.00 22.63 -16 SVGI Silicon Valley Group 9.63 7.94 -18 ETEC Etec System 27.25 22.44 -18 DPMI Dupont Photomasks 26.00 21.00 -19 MICN Micrion 8.13 6.50 -20 TOTALS 486.95 441.80 -9 SOX-X Phili Semiconductor Index 227.25 203.66 -10
