Although there was a very large spread in percentage performance from the top of the group to the bottom of the group, the group average rose again this week by 4 percent. This makes the third week in a row of stellar performance. The last 3 weeks have had gains of 14, 27 and 4 percent respectively. There were 24 stocks up and 17 down for the week. The highest gain was AFLX with 41 percent and the largest loss was GSNX at -18 per- cent. While the group gain was 4 percent, the SOX-X gain was 5 percent - not much difference between the two. 10/23/98 10/30/98 CLOSE CLOSE PERCENT SYMBOL COMPANY PRICE PRICE CHANGE AFLX Adflex Solutions 5.13 7.25 41 SVGI Silicon Valley Group 9.13 12.81 40 SFLX Smartflex Systems 5.75 7.25 26 IMSC Integrated Measurement Systems 6.25 7.50 20 CMOS Credence Systems 12.88 14.88 16 NANO Nanometrics 5.97 6.88 15 LTXX LTX 1.75 2.00 14 PLAB Photronics 19.38 21.81 13 SFAM SpeedFAM 14.38 16.13 12 ASMLF ASM Lithography Holdings 23.13 25.50 10 TGAL Tegal 2.44 2.69 10 MASK Align-Rite International 12.56 13.69 9 HELX Helix Technology 10.50 11.44 9 KLAC KLA Instruments 33.94 36.88 9 DPMI Dupont Photomasks 33.50 36.25 8 KLIC Kulicke & Soffa Industries 15.13 16.31 8 TER Teradyne 30.44 32.50 7 PHTN Photon Dynamics 3.00 3.13 4 NVLS Novellus Systems 37.69 38.81 3 CFMT CFM Technologies 8.75 9.00 3 AMAT Applied Materials 33.94 34.69 2 ASEC Aseco 1.41 1.44 2 COHU Cohu 16.88 17.19 2 IPEC Integrated Process Equipment 8.88 8.94 1 UTEK Ultratech Stepper 18.13 18.00 -1 WFR MEMC Electronic Materials 6.94 6.88 -1 LRCX Lam Research 14.63 14.44 -1 ETEC Etec System 34.38 33.88 -1 PRIA Pri Automation 17.63 17.31 -2 EGLS Electroglas 12.81 12.56 -2 FSII FSI International 6.63 6.50 -2 ASYT Asyst Technologies 12.19 11.94 -2 MICN Micrion 5.88 5.75 -2 VECO Veeco Instruments 30.44 29.69 -2 MTSN Mattson Technology 5.50 5.19 -6 BRKS Brooks Automation 13.00 12.25 -6 WJ Watkins Johnson 19.81 18.63 -6 ATMI ATMI Inc 14.88 13.75 -8 CYMI Cymer 14.13 12.25 -13 SMTL Semitool 7.63 6.44 -16 GSNX Gasonics 6.25 5.13 -18 TOTALS 593.66 615.56 4 SOX-X Phili Semiconductor Index 249.90 262.62 5
