PART I

Item 1. Business

OVERVIEW

Zygo Corporation (“ZYGO,’’ “we,’’ “us,’’ “our,’’ or “Company’’) designs, develops, and manufactures ultra-high precision measurement solutions to improve our customers’ manufacturing yields, and top-tier optical sub-systems and components for original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”) and end-user applications. We operate with two divisions. Our Metrology Solutions Division (also referred to herein as the “Metrology segment”) manufactures products to improve quality, increase productivity, and decrease the overall cost of product development and manufacturing for high-technology companies, particularly in their semiconductor manufacturing processes. Our Optical Systems Division (also referred to herein as the “Optics segment”) provides leading-edge product development and manufacturing services that leverage a variety of core technologies across medical, defense, semiconductor, laser fusion research, biomedical, and other industrial markets.

Our Metrology Solutions Division serves the semiconductor and industrial markets by providing process control for surface shape and roughness, which are critical to all of the our markets, through product offerings that measure surface and material characteristics such as roughness, figure, and transmitted wavefront of flat, spherical, and aspheric components. Our semiconductor product offerings include semiconductor metrology tools, OEM solutions, in-line automated yield improvement systems for both flat panel displays and advanced semiconductor packaging manufacturing and technology development projects for the semiconductor capital equipment industry. Our displacement measurement systems are used extensively in ultra-precise wafer positioning systems for the semiconductor capital equipment industry. One of our continuing strategic initiatives is to expand our product offerings by applying our patented technology to integrated in-line technology. During our fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, we made continued progress on this initiative by expanding our semiconductor applications to a fully integrated wafer based metrology solution, the Z3D-7200™, and increasing our market penetration of our integrated front-end tool, the Z3D-7000™. Additionally, during the same period, we introduced the UniFire-7900™ optical metrology tool which delivers high precision three-dimensional information that can be used for surface topography, critical dimension, overlay/registration, and film thickness metrology in one small footprint. This progress continues our transition from our traditional lab environment to the production floor.

Our industrial market products serve the defense/aerospace, automotive, consumer electronics, commercial optics, and all markets other than semiconductor. Industrial market products include measurement-based process control systems for defense and aerospace customers, and measurement-based process control and yield-enhancement systems for automotive, consumer electronics, and commercial optical customers. During the last two years, we introduced and marketed the VeriFire™ Asphere, GPI™ PE, GPI FlashPhase™ and NewView™ 600, systems. The VeriFire Asphere moves us into the growing asphere measurement market supporting consumer electronics and defense/aerospace markets. The GPI FlashPhase and GPI PE systems operate on the production floor where standard interferometers cannot measure or do not meet the demanding requirements of the defense/aerospace market and commercial optical markets.

Our solutions are primarily based on optical interferometric technology. We continue to be a world leader in optical interferometry with a patent portfolio of approximately 245 active and 225 pending patents, most of which are related to the broad field of interferometry and its practical application.

Our Metrology Solutions Division is headquartered in Middlefield, Connecticut with operations in various domestic and international locations.

Our Optical Systems Division specializes in producing high precision integrated optical systems and unique system-critical optical components for a variety of applications that include medical laser delivery systems, U.S Department of Defense (“Defense Department”) applications, 3D medical imaging, and semiconductor lithography. The division creates long-term customer value through proprietary manufacturing technology, design for manufacturing and assembly services and specialized market know-how required to produce and support Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) regulated medical devices.

Our integrated system assembly operation for our Optical Systems Division located in Tucson, Arizona is a tier-one optical system assembly facility for high-precision, volume production. We assemble and integrate devices ranging from medical laser delivery systems to vacuum relay telescopes to opto-electronic surveillance devices. Our integrated system design and prototyping operation, located in Costa Mesa, California, designs and manufactures prototypes utilizing multi-axis alignment, optical contact assembly, custom tooling, single point diamond turning, and our proprietary metrology equipment. We also operate a large format optical fabrication and coating center located in our Middlefield, Connecticut facility. Our vertically integrated approach encompasses CNC glass machining and lightweighting, rotational and double-sided polishing and magneto rheological finishing polishing, and thin film coating, supported by our proprietary metrology equipment. We produce laser fusion amplifiers and meter-class plano optics, including low aspect ratio and advanced materials such as sapphire.

MARKETS, PRODUCTS, AND CUSTOMERS

During the second quarter of fiscal 2007, we reorganized the business into two operating divisions – Metrology Solutions (Metrology segment) and Optical Systems (Optics segment). Consistent with our new business structure, beginning with the second quarter in fiscal 2007, we reported our segments as Metrology and Optics. The Metrology segment consists of OEM and in-line products primarily for the semiconductor and industrial markets. The Optics segment consists of components and opto-mechanical assemblies primarily for the medical, defense, and aerospace industries, which are part of the industrial market. Prior to the second quarter of fiscal 2007, our segments were reported as Semiconductor and Industrial. Prior year segment information has been restated in a manner consistent with our new reporting segments. For more information related to our segments, please refer to Note 16 Segment reporting, to our Consolidated Financial Statements include d in this Annual Report.

Manufacturers in the semiconductor and industrial markets strive to improve their manufacturing processes and product performance. These improvements allow them to compete more effectively in a marketplace characterized by decreasing product dimensions, increasingly complex manufacturing processes, and decreasing product life cycles, declining product prices, and intensifying global competition, among other factors. As such, our precision metrology and optical components and systems are designed to help these manufacturers continually achieve process and design improvements.

Metrology Solutions Division

Semiconductor Market

We serve several areas of the semiconductor market, notably semiconductor manufacturers, capital equipment suppliers, as well as the flat panel display and advanced semiconductor packaging. We have a broad and growing range of products that serve these market areas.

Semiconductor manufacturing processes require demanding metrology and inspection technologies. From bare silicon wafers through packaged die, metrology and inspection is critical to meeting technology development and process control demands. Recent products introduced by us are enabling high volume semiconductor manufacturing customers to address the challenges of today as well as advanced processing down to the 45 nanometer (“nm”) node.

All of our automated semiconductor systems are built on a common, high-throughput platform with a common, configurable sensor head. This approach allows us to leverage engineering and manufacturing investments to produce reliable and cost effective solutions for our customers. Additionally, the flexible sensor head enables our "OneShot™" algorithms to provide simultaneous measurement of multiple process parameters thereby dramatically increasing process module level throughput and productivity by driving down time to decision.

Semiconductor Products

The Z3D-7000™ is a non-destructive, high throughput, optical metrology system that measure 3-Dimensional features critical for transistor formation in the front end of the line (“FEOL”). This system is targeted to measure production wafers at the 45 nm node with state-of-the-art precision and repeatability thereby enabling development and its associated transfer to high volume manufacturing.

The Z3D-7200 addresses the bare wafer metrology and inspection market by enabling control of critical parameters such as surface roughness, wafer form, and general topography. With its multifunction capability, this system consolidates a number of different metrology measurements into one system, thereby eliminating the need to purchase multiple tools from different suppliers; the end result being a lower overall cost of ownership (“COO”) for the customer.

Building on lower COO, the UniFire™ 7900 enables multiple back end of the line (“BEOL”) litho and etch measurements to be made under the umbrella of a single system. These measurements include 3-Dimensional information about surface topography, critical dimension, overlay/registration, and film thickness. The UniFire 7900 exploits our "OneShot" technology by simultaneously measuring multiple parameters without any loss in measurement precision. This multi-function tool enables semiconductor manufacturers to consolidate multiple metrology tools in their litho and etch modules, thus saving valuable cleanroom real estate and reducing overall metrology costs.

Photolithography scanners form the core of the semiconductor manufacturing process. These scanners image the patterns of stacked layers of circuitry that make up transistors. The photolithographic scanners image the circuitry onto both silicon wafers for microprocessors and memory chips and also flat panel displays for computers, televisions, and other displays. Several of our products enable these scanners to image these circuit patterns reliably and with nanometer precision.

Precision Positioning Systems

The layers of circuit patterns must overlay on top of each other to nanometer precision. To achieve nanometer precision overlay, the silicon wafer must be repeatably positioned to one-tenth the overlay tolerance. Photolithography scanners, mask and reticle writers, and yield improvement metrology tools rely on displacement measuring interferometers (“DMI”) to provide precise feedback to control the position of the silicon wafer. Our Metrology Solutions Division’s ZMI™ 2000 and ZMI™ 4000 precision positioning feedback systems are designed primarily for photolithography scanners. They are also used in a broad range of semiconductor metrology and backend process tools.

Technology Development Projects

Lithography scanners image the electronic circuit pattern through a precision projection lens. The optical performance of the lenses required for next-generation lithography scanners often exceeds the capabilities of commercially available measurement systems. Our expertise in optical interferometer technology, and the practical skills needed to apply this technology, make us well suited to deliver custom solutions to leading photolithography equipment suppliers.

Display Solutions

Flat panel displays (“FPD”) first were used in cell phones and laptop computers, and have grown in popularity for most personal electronics. Many large screen televisions are based on flat panel display technology. Our systems, with ultra high precision measurement solutions, enable our customers to improve flat panel display manufacturing yields. Our OneShot and SureShot™ systems are in-line process control, yield enhancement tools. The FPD OneShot tool measures the topography and critical dimensions (“CD’’) of key color filter features prior to being combined with the thin-film-transistor panel in the “one drop fill’’ assembly process. This fully automated system incorporates the latest ZYGO Intellisensor, optical profiler technology, integrated conveyors or robotics with motion stages, mini-clean room environmental enclosures, and factory floor command and control software. The system measures the height and width of key optical components, and predicts the fill volume to increase upstream manufacturing yields.

The SureShot™ FPD product provides overlay and CD metrology of the individual mask layers post lithography and helps identify process control problems such as those found in the half tone process. These defects, left unchecked, can lead to product performance issues including variances in illuminescence (called MURA) in the finished display.

The SureShot tool can be used as an off-line process analysis device, or in-line in conjunction with closed loop lithography process control.

Advanced Chip Packaging and Assembly

During the manufacture of a semiconductor chip, after the chip making process is complete, the silicon wafer on which the chips are fabricated must be diced into individual chips and packaged for customer use. In advanced chip packaging fabrication facilities, the new CP 6300i™ system measures patterned features and films on the surfaces of diced and un-diced chips, for process control and yield improvement. The system incorporates a specialized ZYGO NewView™ optical profiler and wafer positioning system with pattern recognition software. It can be configured for clean room or laboratory use.

Industrial Market

Our industrial market covers all areas other than semiconductor. Products for defense and aerospace companies include optical components, optical systems, and measurement-based process control systems. Products for automotive, consumer electronics and other customers are measurement-based process control and yield enhancement systems.

Consumer Electronics

Consumer electronics, including cell phones, digital cameras, DVD and CD players, and optical computer drives, all have significant optical content. Consumer electronic optics, which provides imaging and data storage, are manufactured in quantities in the hundreds of thousands to millions of components per year. These complex miniature optical systems require precise optical testing—from development to in-line process control—which our measurement-based process control and yield enhancement systems are designed to perform.

VeriFire Asphere System

The VeriFire Asphere provides high resolution 3-Dimensional surface metrology for aspheric shaped surfaces using patented non contact interferometric techniques for production and process control. Aspheres are important in consumer electronics products, cameras, military/defense optics and commercial optics and represent a fast growing segment in optics today.

GPI and VeriFire Systems

The development of new optical systems for any application requires very flexible and easy to use test equipment. The ZYGO GPI and VeriFire systems are our latest products in our established product family that has improved optical testing and continues to evolve to meet changing requirements. Consumer electronics production applications for larger optics, greater than 25 mm diameter, and research and development for any size application rely on these products for critical developmental data and process control feedback in production. These products are widely used due to their configuration flexibility in both hardware set ups and ZYGO’s MetroPro™ data analysis software.

PTI 250™

Consumer electronics typically contain small optics, less than 30 mm diameter. The PTI 250 is a small bench top optical test system in the tradition of our industry standard GPI. The system meets the consumer market demand by combining high-quality optics with ZYGO’s MetroPro data analysis software.

DVD 400™, BluRay™, and HD DVD™

The next generation of DVD players and computer memories are expected to use blue light at 405 nm wavelength to increase the amount of data on a DVD disk. ZYGO’s DVD 400 interferometer is used by the developers of these next generation systems. ZYGO’s DVD 400P is our system for the production floor.

Automotive Industry

The automotive industry is striving to improve fuel economy and decrease environmental pollution to meet customer demand and adhere to government regulation. Improving both requires more efficient engines, including the fuel injection system. Since high-pressure valves and sealing surfaces found in the fuel injection system must be manufactured to high precision, our measurement-based process control and yield-enhancement systems are used in the development and manufacture of these components.

NewView™ 6200/6300 and Delta™ Systems

Our high precision metrology equipment is well suited for fuel injector components, which are ground or lapped to tolerances of one-hundred billionths of a meter. Our patented “FDA’’ data acquisition system for the NewView optical profiler meets this high-precision measurement requirement. We recently introduced the NewView 6200 and NewView 6300 for these applications, offering increased speed and better performance at a lower price point. The NewView Delta is a production floor packaged system, also targeted to this growing market.

Defense/Aerospace

GPI and VeriFire Systems: Developing state-of-the-art optical designs and manufacturing technology for the defense/aerospace market also requires leading metrology systems for manufacturing process control and development. Our industry standard GPI and VeriFire optical interferometers test both the optical components and systems for design compliance. During the last two years, we introduced and marketed the VeriFire Asphere, GPI PE and GPI FlashPhase

5

systems. The VeriFire Asphere rapidly measures asphere shaped optics in a production environment. The GPI PE continues our move to the production floor providing lab level results in a production environment. Using patented algorithms the GPI PE removes the degrading effects of vibration from the measurement without the need for new expensive hardware. This system is primarily used in the production of military and commercial optics.

The GPI FlashPhase system operates on the production floor where standard interferometers cannot measure or do not meet the demanding requirements of the defense/aerospace market. With our proprietary data acquisition, GPI FlashPhase can measure in the turbulent and vibrating environments that are often found in defense/aerospace applications. We are also active in designing and manufacturing custom systems for defense/aerospace applications, especially interferometers that operate at infrared wavelengths, which are unique to this market.

Major Metrology Industrial Customers include:

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We are subject to numerous known and unknown risks, many of which are described below and elsewhere in this Annual Report. Any of the events described below could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are not aware of, or that we currently deem to be immaterial, could also impact our business and results of operations.

We are dependent on the semiconductor industry, which, as a whole, is volatile.

Our business is significantly dependent on capital expenditures and component requirements for manufacturers in the semiconductor industry. This industry is cyclical and has historically experienced periods of oversupply, resulting in significantly reduced demand for capital equipment, including the products manufactured and marketed by us. For the foreseeable future, our operations will continue to be dependent on the capital expenditures in this industry, which in turn is largely dependent on the market demand in the semiconductor markets.

We have been dependent on sales to one large customer; the loss of this customer or expected near-term reduction in orders from this customer would materially affect our sales.

During fiscal 2007, 2006, and 2005, sales to Canon, our largest customer in those periods, accounted for 27%, 36%, and 37% of our net sales, respectively. We expect that sales to Canon will continue to represent a significant, yet declining, percentage of our net sales for the near future. Canon is an original investor in our company, the owner at June 30, 2007 of approximately 7% of our outstanding shares of common stock, and is a distributor of certain of our products in the Japanese market. A reduction or delay in orders from this customer, including reductions or delays due to market, economic, or competitive conditions in the industries in which we or our customer serves, could have a material adverse effect upon our results of operations. Our customers, including Canon, generally do not enter into long-term agreements obligating them to purchase our products.

We have generated significant revenues from development agreements which have been completed this year and we may not be able to replace those revenues.

During fiscal 2007, 2006, and 2005, we recorded revenues from development services of $4.1 million, $20.0 million, and $15.6 million, respectively. The existing development service agreements were completed in fiscal 2007. Presently, we have no plans and know of no plans from our customers that would continue our development services revenue in fiscal 2008. To the extent that we are unable to replace these revenues with revenues from another source, our earnings could be adversely affected.

Our substantial international sales are subject to risk.

We sell our products internationally, primarily to customers in Japan and throughout the Pacific Rim. Net sales to customers outside the United States accounted for approximately 61%, 65%, and 66% of our net sales in each of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively, and are expected to continue to account for a substantial percentage of our net sales.

International sales and foreign operations are subject to inherent risks. These risks include the economic conditions in these various foreign countries and their trading partners, political instability, longer payment cycles, greater difficulty in accounts receivable collection, compliance with foreign laws, changes in regulatory requirements, tariffs or other barriers, difficulties in obtaining export licenses, staffing and managing foreign operations, exposure to currency exchange fluctuations, transportation delays, and potentially adverse tax consequences.

Our sales and costs are negotiated and paid primarily in U.S. dollars. However, changes in the values of foreign currencies relative to the value of the U.S. dollar can render our products comparatively more expensive to the extent locally produced alternative products are available. Such conditions could negatively affect international sales of our products and foreign operations, as would changes in the general economic conditions in those markets. For our sales that are based in local currency, we are exposed to foreign exchange fluctuations from the time customers are invoiced in local currency until collection occurs. For fiscal 2007, approximately 21% of our sales were denominated in foreign currencies. In the third quarter of fiscal 2005, we began hedging certain intercompany transactions by entering into forward contracts to reduce the impact of adverse fluctuations on earnings associated with foreign currency exchange rate changes. We do not enter into any derivative transactions for speculative purposes. These contracts are entered into for periods consistent with the currency transaction exposures, generally three to six months. Generally, any gains and losses on the fair value of these contracts are expected to be largely offset by gains and losses on the underlying transactions. There can be no assurance that risks inherent in international sales and foreign operations will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in the future.

11

Future acquisitions may entail certain operational and financial risks.

Our growth strategy includes expanding our products and services, and we may seek acquisitions to strategically expand our business. We regularly review potential acquisitions of businesses, technologies, or products complementary to our business and periodically engage in discussions regarding such possible acquisitions. Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including some or all of the following: substantial cash expenditures and capital investments; potentially dilutive issuance of equity securities; incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities; amortization of certain intangible assets; difficulties in assimilating the operations and products of the acquired companies; diverting our management’s attention away from other business concerns; risks of entering markets in which we have limited or no direct experience; the inability to manage the growth expected for various acquisitions; potential loss of key employees of the acquired companies in the process of integrating personnel with disparate business backgrounds; and combining different corporate cultures.

We cannot assure you that any acquisition will result in long-term benefits to us or that our management will be able to effectively manage the acquired businesses. We may also incorrectly judge the value or worth of an acquired company or business. We have in the past disposed or divested ourselves of several companies or lines of business that previously were acquired by us, at a significant net loss to us.

Our quarterly operating results fluctuate and may continue to fluctuate in the future.

Our quarterly and annual operating results have varied in the past and may vary significantly in the future depending on factors such as: budgeting cycles of our customers; the size, timing, and recognition of revenue from significant orders; increased competition; our ability to develop innovative products; the timing of new product releases by us or our competitors; market acceptance of our products; changes in our and our competitors’ pricing policies; changes in operating expenses and personnel changes; the effect of our acquisitions and consequent integration; changes in our business strategy; and general economic factors.

Due to these and other factors, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our operating results may not be meaningful. You should not rely on our results for one quarter as any indication of our future performance. In future periods, our operating results may be below the expectations of public market analysts or investors. If this occurs, the price of our common stock would likely decrease.

Current conditions in the domestic and global economies are extremely uncertain. As a result, it is difficult to estimate the level of growth for the economy as a whole or of capital expenditures in the semiconductor and industrial markets. Because all of the components of our budgeting and forecasting are dependent on estimates of spending within these markets, the prevailing economic uncertainty renders estimates of future revenue and expenses even more difficult than usual to make.

Our scheduled backlog may not result in future sales.

We schedule the production of our systems based in part upon order backlog. Due to possible customer changes in delivery schedules and cancellations of orders, our backlog at any particular date is not necessarily indicative of actual sales for any succeeding period. There can be no assurance that amounts included in our backlog will ultimately result in future sales. We have experienced push-outs and cancellations in the semiconductor capital equipment sector. A reduction in backlog during any particular period, or the failure of our backlog to result in future sales could adversely affect our results of operations.

Our lengthy sales cycle could affect our manufacturing schedule and cause us to incur expenses without realizing sales.

Our lengthy and variable qualification and sales cycle makes it difficult to predict the timing of a sale or whether a sale will be made, which may cause us to have excess manufacturing capacity or inventory and negatively affect our operating results. As is typical in the industry, our customers generally expend significant efforts in evaluating and qualifying our products and manufacturing process. This evaluation and qualification process frequently results in a lengthy sales cycle, typically ranging from three to six months and sometimes longer. While our customers are evaluating our products and before they place an order with us, we may incur substantial sales, marketing, and research and development expenses, expend significant management efforts, increase manufacturing capacity and order long-lead-time supplies prior to receiving an order. Even after this evaluation process, it is possible that a potential customer will not purchase our products. In addition, product purchases are frequently subject to unplanned processing and other delays, particularly with respect to larger customers for which our products represent a very small percentage of their overall purchase activity.

If we increase capacity and order supplies in anticipation of an order that does not materialize, our gross margins may be negatively impacted, and we may have to carry or write off excess inventory. Even if we receive an order, the additional manufacturing capacity that we add to service the customer’s requirements may be underutilized in a subsequent quarter. Either situation could cause our results of operations to be adversely affected. Our long sales cycles also may cause our revenues and operating results to vary significantly and unexpectedly from quarter to quarter.

12

We face risks associated with manufacturing forecasts.

If we fail to predict our manufacturing requirements accurately, we could incur additional costs or experience manufacturing delays, which could cause us to lose orders or customers and result in lower net sales. We currently use a rolling 12-month forecast based primarily on our anticipated product orders and our product order history to help determine our requirements for components and materials. It is very important that we accurately predict both the demand for our products and the lead-time required to obtain the necessary components and raw materials. Lead times for materials and components that we order vary significantly and depend on factors such as the specific supplier, the size of the order, contract terms, and demand for each component at a given time. If we underestimate our requirements, we may have inadequate manufacturing capacity or inventory, which could interrupt manufacturing of our products and result in delays in shipments and net sales. If we overestimate our requirements, we could have excess inventory of parts. In addition, delays in the manufacturing of our products could cause us to lose orders or customers.

Our stock price may fluctuate significantly due to a variety of risks.

We believe that factors such as the announcement of new products or technologies by us or our competitors, market conditions in the semiconductor and industrial markets, and quarterly fluctuations in financial results are expected to cause the market price of our common stock to vary substantially. Further, our net sales or results of operations in future quarters may be below the expectations of public market securities analysts and investors. In such event, the price of the common stock would likely decline. In addition, historically the stock market has experienced price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the market prices for many high technology companies and which often have been unrelated to the operating performance of such companies. The market volatility may adversely affect the market price of shares of our common stock. Furthermore, our common stock trading price may be more susceptible to market fluctuations due to the relatively small public float and trading volume of our stock.

We operate in a highly competitive industry.

We face competition from a number of companies in all our markets, many of which have greater manufacturing and marketing capabilities, and greater financial, technological, and personnel resources. In addition, we compete with the internal development efforts of our current and prospective customers, some of which may attempt to become vertically integrated. Our competitors can be expected to continue to improve the design and performance of their products and to introduce new products with competitive price/performance characteristics. Competitive pressures may necessitate price reductions, which can adversely affect results of operations. Although we believe that we have certain technical and other advantages over some of our competitors, maintaining such advantages will require a continued high level of investment by our company in research and development and sales, marketing, and service. There can be no assurance that we will have sufficient resources to continue to make such investments or that we will be able to make the technological advances necessary to maintain such competitive advantages. In addition, due to historical relationships and possible prior investments by potential customers in competitive product lines, it may be more difficult for us to realize upon certain of our growth strategies and initiatives. There can be no assurance that the basis of competition in the industries in which we compete will not shift.

Our inability to anticipate and keep pace with rapidly changing technological developments in the markets in which we operate could have a material adverse effect on our business.

The market for our products is characterized by rapidly changing technology. Our future success will continue to depend upon our ability to enhance our current products and to develop and introduce new products that keep pace with technological developments and evolving industry standards, respond to changes in customer requirements, and achieve market acceptance. The development of new technologically advanced products is a complex and uncertain process requiring high levels of innovation, as well as the accurate anticipation of technological and market trends.

We commit significant financial and personnel resources on a continuous basis to redesign and enhance our instruments, systems, and components and upgrade our proprietary software technology incorporated in our products. Any failure by us to anticipate or respond adequately to technological developments and customer requirements, or any significant delays in product development or introduction, could have a material adverse effect on our business and impact our close relationships with customers. This could have an impact on customers’ willingness to share proprietary information about their requirements and participate in collaborative efforts with us. There can be no assurance that our customers will continue to provide us with timely access to such information, that we will be successful in developing and marketing new products and services or product and service enhancements on a timely basis, or respond effectively to technological changes or new product announcements by others. In addition, there can be no assurance the new products and services or product enhancements, if any, which we developed will achieve market acceptance.

We may be unable to enforce or defend our ownership and use of proprietary technology.

Our success is heavily dependent upon our proprietary technology. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by us to protect our proprietary technology will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of our technology by third parties or will be adequate under the laws of some foreign countries, which may not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as do laws of the United States. In addition, there remains the possibility that others will “reverse engineer” our products in order to determine their method of operation and introduce competing products or that others will develop competing technology independently. Any such adverse circumstances could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

13

Our business depends on management and technical personnel who are in great demand.

Our success depends in large part upon the continued services of many of our highly skilled personnel involved in management, research, development and engineering, sales and marketing, manufacturing, and support and upon our ability to attract and retain additional highly qualified employees. Our employees may voluntarily terminate their employment with us at any time. Competition for these individuals from a variety of employers, including our competitors and companies in computer or technology-related industries, at times is intense. We cannot assure you that we will be able to retain our existing personnel or attract and retain additional personnel.

We are exposed to significant delays and additional costs if we do not receive adequate or timely supplies of raw materials and other supplies upon which we depend.

We are dependent on suppliers for raw materials and various electrical, mechanical, and optical supplies. Although we enter, either directly or through our contract manufacturers, into purchase orders with our suppliers based on our forecasts, we do not have any guaranteed supply arrangements with these suppliers. Moreover, as our demand for supplies increases, we may not be able to obtain these supplies in a timely manner. If any relationship with a key supplier is terminated or if a supplier fails or is unable to provide reliable services or equipment and we are unable to reach suitable alternative solutions quickly, we may experience significant delays and additional costs in the manufacturing of our products. If our key suppliers cease manufacturing the supplies we require, if their manufacturing operations are interrupted for any significant amount of time, or if they are unable or unwilling to supply us for any other reason, including capacity constraints, then we may be at least temporarily unable to obtain these supplies, thus exposing us to significant delays and additional costs. Currently there are only a limited number of companies that are capable of supplying optical materials in the quantity and of the quality we require.

We recently began to assemble our FPD systems in Taiwan through a third party. We are dependent on the third party to assemble the systems accurately and on a timely basis. To the extent the quality of work, including any individual unit, causes delays or cancellations in shipments to our customers, our results could be adversely affected.

Our products may contain defects that are undetected until after our products are installed which may lead to a loss of reputation and customers.

Our products are deployed in large and complex systems and may contain defects that are not detected until after our products have been installed, which could damage our reputation and cause us to lose customers. We design some of our products for deployment in large and complex optical networks. Because of the nature of these products, they can only be fully tested for reliability when deployed in networks for long periods of time. Our customers may discover defects in our products only after they have been fully deployed and operated under peak stress conditions. In addition, our products are combined with products from other vendors. As a result, should problems occur, it might be difficult to identify the source of the problem. These conditions increase the risk that we could experience, among other things: loss of customers; damage to our brand reputation; failure to attract new customers or achieve market acceptance; diversion of development and engineering resources; and legal actions by our customers. The occurrence of any one or more of the foregoing factors could cause us to experience losses, incur liabilities, and cause our net sales to decline.

We may be unprepared for changes to environmental laws and regulations and may have liabilities arising from environmental matters.

Environmental regulations applicable to our manufacturing operations could limit our ability to expand or subject us to substantial costs. We are subject to a variety of environmental regulations relating to the use, storage, discharge, and disposal of hazardous chemicals used during our manufacturing processes. Any failure by us to comply with present and future regulations could subject us to future liabilities or the suspension of production. In addition, such regulations could restrict our ability to expand our facilities or could require us to acquire costly equipment or to incur other significant expenses to comply with environmental regulations.

Our investments in marketable securities may lose their value if economic conditions were to deteriorate.

Our marketable securities represent approximately 25% of our total assets. To the extent credit markets tighten, interest rates increase, or other economic conditions influence the liquidity of our marketable securities, the value and liquidity of our marketable securities may be adversely affected. In addition, we may have to record an impairment charge for marketable securities if we determine that a permanent decline in the fair value of a marketable security has taken place.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

We have received no written comments regarding our periodic or current reports from the staff of the SEC that were issued 180 days or more preceding the end of our fiscal year 2007 that remain unresolved.

PART II

Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Our shares of common stock are traded over-the-counter and are quoted on the NASDAQ/National Market under the symbol “ZIGO.” The following table provides information about the high and low sales prices of the Company’s common stock by quarter for fiscal 2007 and 2006.

	Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2007		Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2006
	High	Low	High	Low
First quarter	$17.21	$12.34	$15.72	$9.65
Second quarter	$17.35	$12.16	$16.44	$12.95
Third quarter	$17.00	$14.83	$18.83	$13.93
Fourth quarter	$16.55	$14.20	$19.75	$14.05

These over-the-counter market quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission, and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.

The number of record holders of our common stock at September 4, 2007 was 603. Our closing stock price as of June 30, 2007 was $14.29.

We have never declared or paid a cash dividend on our capital stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

We at times grant restricted stock awards. These awards generally allow recipients to sell a portion of the stock award back to us, in order to cover tax liabilities resulting from the award. In fiscal 2007, at the election of various employees, we made the following repurchases of restricted stock.

	Total number of	Average price
Period	shares purchased	paid per share
July 1, 2006 - September 30, 2006	-	$0.00
October 1, 2006 - December 31, 2006	-	$0.00
January 1, 2007 - March 31, 2007	2,654	$15.19
April 1, 2007 - June 30, 2007	427	$15.12

Restricted stock repurchases in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007 were as follows:

			Total number of	Approximate dollar
			shares purchased as	value of shares that
			part of publicly	may yet be purchased
	Total number of	Average price	announced	under the plans or
Period	shares purchased	paid per share	plans or programs	programs (in millions)

June 1, 2007 - June 30, 2007	427	$15.12	-	-

As previously announced, in August 2007, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $25.0 million of our outstanding common stock. The repurchases will occur from time to time as market conditions warrant through transactions in the open market. The initial share repurchases are expected to be effected pursuant to a plan in conformity with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This rule allows public companies to adopt written, pre-arranged stock trading plans when they do not have material, non-public information in their possession. The adoption of this stock trading plan allows us to repurchase our shares during periods when we otherwise might be prevented from doing so under insider trading laws or because of self-imposed trading blackout periods.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES, SIGNIFICANT JUDGMENTS, AND ESTIMATES

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and related disclosures at the date of our consolidated financial statements. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to bad debts, inventories, marketable securities, share-based compensation, warranty obligations, self-insured healthcare claims, income taxes, and long-lived assets. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and current market conditions and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We consider certain accounting policies related to revenue recognition and allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, valuation of marketable securities, share-based compensation, warranty costs, self-insured health insurance costs, accounting for income taxes, and valuation of long-lived assets to be critical policies due to the estimates and judgments involved in each.

Revenue Recognition and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We recognize revenue based on guidance provided in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” and in accordance with the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, our price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. We recognize revenue on our standard products when title passes to the customer upon shipment. While our standard products generally require installation, the installation is considered a perfunctory performance obligation. Standard products do not have customer acceptance criteria. Generally, software is a component of our standard product and, as such, is not separately recognized as revenue. We have standard rights of return that we account for as a warranty provision under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies.” We do not have any price protection agreements or other post shipment obligations. For custom equipment where customer acceptance is part of the sales agreement, revenue is recognized when the customer has accepted the product. In cases where custom equipment does not have customer acceptance as part of the sales agreement, we recognize revenue upon shipment as long as the system meets the specifications as agreed upon with the customer. Certain transactions have multiple deliverables, with the deliverables clearly defined. To the extent that the secondary deliverables are other than perfunctory, we recognize the revenue on each deliverable, if separable, or on the completion of all deliverables, if not separable, all in a manner consistent with SAB No. 104 and EITF 00-21. Standalone software products are recognized as revenue when they are shipped. Revenue generated from development contracts are recorded on a cost-plus basis in the period services are rendered.

We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts based on a continuous review of customer accounts, payment patterns, and specific collection issues. We perform on-going credit evaluations of our customers and do not require collateral from our customers. For many of our international customers, we require an irrevocable letter of credit from our customer before a shipment is made. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required.

Inventory Valuation

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Management evaluates the need to record adjustments for impairment of inventory on a monthly basis. Our policy is to assess the valuation of all inventories, including raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods. Obsolete inventory or inventory in excess of management's estimated future usage is written down to its estimated market value, if less than its cost. Contracts with fixed prices are evaluated to determine if estimated total costs will exceed revenues. A loss provision is recorded when the judgment is made that actual costs incurred plus estimated costs remaining to be incurred based on management’s estimates will exceed total revenues from the contract. Inherent in the estimates of market value are management's estimates related to current economic trends, future demand for our products, and technological obsolescence. Management estimates future product sales and service requirements, and evaluates technological changes and other possible uses to determine if inventory is excess or obsolete. If actual market conditions are different than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs and loss accruals may be required.

20

Other Than Temporary Impairment of Marketable Securities

Marketable securities have been classified as held-to-maturity, which requires them to be carried at amortized cost. Management evaluates the need to record adjustments for impairment of marketable securities on a quarterly basis. Marketable securities with unrealized depreciation in fair value for twelve or more consecutive months and other securities with unrealized losses are reviewed to determine whether the decline in fair value is other than temporary. Investment ratings, company-specific events, general economic conditions, and other reasons are evaluated in determining if the decline in fair value is other than temporary. If it is judged that a decline in fair value is other than temporary, the marketable security is valued at the current fair value and an impairment charge is reflected in earnings.

Share-Based Compensation

We calculate share-based compensation expense in accordance with SFAS 123(R), “Share-Based Payment (as amended)” using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to calculate the fair value of share-based awards. The key assumptions for this valuation method include the expected term of an option grant, stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, and forfeiture rate. The determination of these assumptions is based on past history and future expectations, and is subject to a high level of judgment. To the extent any of the assumptions were to change from year to year, the fair value of new option grants may vary significantly.

Warranty Costs

We provide for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. We consider historical warranty costs actually incurred and specifically identified circumstances to establish the warranty liability. The warranty liability is reviewed on a quarterly basis. Should actual costs differ from management's estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required. A one percent change in actual costs would have an impact of approximately $20,000 on our financial condition and results of operations.

Accounting for Income Taxes

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," requires the establishment of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets. We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to an estimated realizable amount based on historical and forecasted results. While management has considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, in the event management were to determine that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of its net recorded amount, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would increase income in the period such determination was made. Likewise, should management determine that it would not be able to realize all or part of its net deferred tax asset in the future, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would be charged to income in the period such determination was made. Our effective tax rate may vary from period to period based on changes to the valuation allowance, changes in pre-tax income between jurisdictions that have higher or lower tax rates, changes to federal, state, or foreign tax laws, and deductibility of certain costs and expenses by jurisdiction.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the carrying value of intangible assets and other long-lived assets is reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances, both internally and externally, that may suggest impairment. Some factors we consider important, which could trigger the impairment review, include a significant decrease in the market value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, a significant adverse change in the business climate that could affect the value of an asset, an accumulation of costs for an asset in excess of the amount originally expected, a current period operating loss or cash flow decline combined with a history of operating loss or cash flow uses or a projection that demonstrates continuing losses, and a current expectation that, it’s more likely than not, a long-lived asset will be disposed of at a loss before the end of its estimated useful life.

If one or more of such facts or circumstances exist, we evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets to determine if impairment exists based upon estimated undiscounted future cash flows over the remaining useful life of the assets and comparing that value to the carrying value of the assets. If the carrying value of the assets is greater than the estimated future cash flows, the assets are written down to the estimated fair value. We determine the estimated fair value of the assets based on a current market value of the assets. If a current market value is not readily available, a projected discounted cash flow method is applied using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in the current business model. Our cash flow estimates contain management's best estimates, using appropriate and customary assumptions and projections at the time.

21

Health Insurance

We are self-insured for the majority of our group health insurance. We rely on claims experience in determining an adequate liability for claims incurred, but not reported. To the extent actual claims exceed estimates, we may be required to record additional expense. A one percent change in actual claims would have an impact of approximately $25,000 on our financial condition and results of operations.

OVERVIEW

Zygo Corporation is a worldwide supplier of optical metrology instruments, precision optics, and electro-optical design and manufacturing services, serving customers in the semiconductor capital equipment and industrial markets. Optical instruments products encompass non-contact optical measurement instruments. Optics products consist of high performance macro-optics components, optical coatings, and optical system assemblies. We conduct the majority of our manufacturing in our 153,500 square foot facility in Middlefield, Connecticut and a 22,560 square foot leased facility in Tucson, Arizona.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2007, we reorganized the business into two operating divisions – Metrology Solutions (Metrology segment) and Optical Systems (Optics segment). Consistent with our new business structure, beginning with our second quarter in fiscal 2007 we reported our segments as Metrology and Optics. Prior to the second quarter of fiscal 2007, our segments were reported as Semiconductor and Industrial. The Metrology segment consists of OEM and in-line products primarily for the semiconductor and industrial markets. The Optics segment consists of components and opto-mechanical assemblies primarily for the medical, defense, and aerospace industries, which are included in the industrial market.

We believe that within the Metrology segment, the semiconductor market contains our best sales growth opportunities in the future. As such, we are focusing our research and development efforts on specific semiconductor initiatives, most notably in the display and packaging markets. During the past year, we continued to expand our office in Oregon which houses our semiconductor process metrology group to take advantage of opportunities in the semiconductor markets. In addition, during fiscal 2007, we built on the success of our front-end semiconductor metrology tool, the Z3D 7000™ by introducing the Z3D 7200™ and the UniFire 7900™ to our in-fab semiconductor product portfolio.

Within our Optics segment, areas of growth continue to be in laser fusion optics and medical based products. In June 2007, our Tucson, Arizona, operation received ISO 13485:2003 certification for medical product manufacturing. This certification reinforces our ongoing commitment to pursue manufacturing opportunities in the medical components market. The facility's quality system is also certified to ISO 9001:2000.

Over the past four years, development services for Canon Inc. have produced a significant amount of our revenue. However, our development services contract with Canon Inc. were completed during the third quarter of fiscal 2007. For fiscal 2007, increases in overall sales and new product sales growth, both overall and within our Metrology segment, offset the year over year decrease in the development services revenue.

Overall, sales to Canon Inc. and Canon Sales Co., Inc. (collectively, “Canon”), our single largest customer, represented 27% of our total net sales in fiscal 2007 as compared with 36% in fiscal 2006. This represented a decrease of $13.3 million in sales in fiscal 2007 as compared with fiscal 2006, with the $15.9 million decrease in development services revenue being partially offset by increases in OEM purchases.

Our backlog at June 30, 2007 was $72.2 million, a decrease of $8.6 million from June 30, 2006. Orders were $36.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. Orders from the Company’s Metrology segment accounted for 57% of the orders received, with the Optics segment accounting for the remaining 43%. For fiscal 2007, orders were $172.5 million, a decrease of 5% over fiscal 2006. As we have previously disclosed, orders for our lithography OEM products have experienced a sharp decline and we anticipate that this will continue through the remainder of calendar 2007. We have also seen push-outs and cancellations in the semiconductor capital equipment sector. We further anticipate fiscal 2008 sales and earnings to be skewed toward the second half of the year when we believe we will see an increase in orders and shipments of semiconductor and display systems.

In August 2007, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $25.0 million of our outstanding common stock. The repurchases will occur from time to time as market conditions warrant through transactions in the open market. The initial share repurchases are expected to be effected pursuant to a plan in conformity with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This rule allows public companies to adopt written, pre-arranged stock trading plans when they do not have material, non-public information in their possession. The adoption of this stock trading plan allows us to repurchase our shares during periods when we otherwise might be prevented from doing so under insider trading laws or because of self-imposed trading blackout periods.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Fiscal 2007 Compared with Fiscal 2006

Net Sales

	Twelve Months Ended
(Dollars in millions)	June 30,		Net Sales		June 30,		Net Sales
	2007		%		2006		%
Segment
Metrology	$	132.3	73	%	$	125.9	75	%
Optics		48.7	27	%		42.2	25	%
Total	$	181.0	100	%	$	168.1	100	%

Net sales in the Metrology segment increased 5% in fiscal 2007 as compared with the prior year. The increase in net sales of $6.4 million within the Metrology segment was primarily due to an increase in display sales of $10.0 million, net sales to our lithography customers of $9.6 million, and semiconductor sales of $2.7, partially offset by a decrease in development services revenue of $15.9 million.

Net sales in the Optics segment increased 15% in fiscal 2007 as compared with the prior year. The increase in net sales of $6.5 million within the Optics segment was primarily due to an increased volume of optical system assemblies of $3.4 million and contract manufacturing of $3.0, which includes medical component sales.

Approximately 79% of all fiscal 2007 net sales were denominated in U.S. dollars. Significant changes in the values of foreign currencies relative to the value of the U.S. dollar can influence the sales of our products in export markets, as would changes in the general economic conditions in those markets.

Gross Profit

	Twelve Months Ended
(Dollars in millions)	June 30,		Net Sales		June 30,		Net Sales
	2007		%		2006		%
Segment
Metrology	$	62.2	47	%	$	56.8	45	%
Optics		15.0	31	%		9.0	21	%
Total	$	77.2	43	%	$	65.8	39	%

Gross profit in the Metrology segment as a percentage of net sales increased by two percentage points in fiscal 2007 as compared with the prior year. The increased gross profit as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to the decrease in development services revenues, which comprised 16% of Metrology revenue in fiscal 2006 and only 3% in fiscal 2007 and which has historically carried margins of 25%-30%. Gross profit in the Optics segment as a percentage of sales increased by ten percentage points for fiscal 2007 as compared with the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to having a steady order flow within our contract manufacturing operation which increased our efficiency and productivity.

	2007		%		2006		%
	$	32.9	18	%	$	31.2	19	%

SG&A in fiscal 2007 as compared with fiscal 2006 included increases in sales and marketing of $1.9 million primarily due to increases in marketing activities of $0.6 million for our semiconductor products and $0.5 million for our optical systems solutions. We also incurred additional costs of $0.6 million as we increased our presence throughout our foreign operations. Administration expenses decreased slightly by $0.2 million.

	2007		%		2006		%
	$	22.0	12	%	$	15.9	9	%

The increase in RD&E costs in fiscal 2007 was primarily related to increased spending on our semiconductor initiatives of $3.1 million, display solutions of $1.2 million, instrument projects of $1.4 million, and contract manufacturing projects of $0.6 million. Semiconductor RD&E contributed to the release, in fiscal 2007, of two new products, the Z3D 7200™ and the UniFire 7900™. Display solution initiatives include developments of new technologies to further enhance our existing product line.

Income Tax Expense

	Twelve Months Ended

	2007		%		2006		%
	$	9.1	36	%	$	5.8	28	%

Income tax expense in fiscal 2007 increased by 57% as compared with the prior year. The overall tax rate increased by eight percentage points when compared with the prior year. In fiscal 2006, income tax expense included an aggregate tax benefit of $1.2 million due primarily to the redetermination of our fiscal 2005 and 2004 extraterritorial income exclusion (“EIE”).

Net Earnings

	Twelve Months Ended
(Dollars in millions)	June 30,		Sales		June 30,		Sales
	2007		%		2006		%
	$	15.1	8	%	$	14.5	9	%

Net earnings in fiscal 2007 increased by 4% as compared with the prior year. Net earnings per diluted share were $0.81 for fiscal 2007, as compared with $0.79 per diluted share for fiscal 2006. Fiscal 2006 net earnings included a $0.07 benefit for the effect of the EIE credit related to fiscal 2005 and 2004 of $1.2 million. The increased earnings were primarily the result of increased net sales and increased gross profits as a percentage of sales which was partially offset by a $6.1 million increase in RD&E to support our new initiatives.

Backlog

Backlog at June 30, 2007 totaled $72.2 million, a decrease of $8.6 million, or 11%, from $80.8 million at June 30, 2006. The year-end fiscal 2007 backlog consisted of $29.5 million, or 41%, in the Metrology segment and $42.7 million, or 59%, in the Optics segment. Orders for fiscal 2007 totaled $172.5 million. Orders by segment for fiscal 2007 consisted of $116.4 million, or 67%, in the Metrology segment and $56.1 million, or 33%, in the Optics segment. The decrease in backlog primarily reflects a sharp decline in our lithography OEM products and we anticipate that this trend will continue through the remainder of calendar 2007. We have also experienced push-outs and cancellations related to fiscal 2007 activity in the semiconductor capital equipment sector. We further anticipate fiscal 2008 sales and earnings to be skewed toward the second half of the year when we believe we will see a strengthening in orders and shipments of semiconductor and display systems.

Net sales in the Metrology segment increased 21% in fiscal 2006 as compared with the prior year. The increase in net sales of $21.5 million within the Metrology segment was primarily due to an increase of product sales for the instruments and inline semiconductor tools of $10.3 million, net sales to our lithography customers of $6.5 million, and development services of $4.4 million. We opened offices in China and Korea in fiscal 2006 and 2005 and have seen a steady increase in sales activity from those markets.

Net sales in the Optics segment increased 14% in fiscal 2006 as compared with the prior year. The increase in net sales of $5.3 million within the Optics segment was primarily due to an increased volume of contract manufacturing of $7.6 million, offset in part by a decrease in laser fusion optics of $2.9 million in fiscal 2006 as compared with the prior period.

Approximately 82% of all fiscal 2006 net sales were denominated in U.S. dollars. Significant changes in the values of foreign currencies relative to the value of the U.S. dollar can influence the sales of our products in export markets, as would changes in the general economic conditions in those markets.

Total	$	65.8	39	%	$	53.3	38	%

Gross profit in the Metrology segment as a percentage of net sales increased by a percentage point in fiscal 2006 as compared with the prior year. The increased gross profit as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to our concentrated effort to utilize new low-cost, high-quality vendors. Margins on development services remained flat year over year at 29%. Gross profit in the Optics segment as a percentage of sales increased by two percentage points in fiscal 2006 as compared with the prior year. The increased profit as a percentage of net sales was also primarily due to utilizing new low-cost, high-quality vendors. In fiscal 2006, share-based compensation expenses decreased overall gross profit by $0.4 million.

Net earnings in fiscal 2006 increased by 61% as compared with the prior year. Net earnings per diluted share were $0.79 for fiscal 2006, as compared with $0.50 per diluted share for fiscal 2005. The increased earnings were primarily the result of increased net sales, increased gross profits as a percentage of sales due in part to the effects of our cost control initiatives and the effect of the EIE credit related to fiscal 2005 and 2004. The net earnings for fiscal 2005 included losses of $0.3 million, net of tax, related to the operations of our discontinued TeraOptix unit and charges of $0.1 million, net of tax, related to the disposal of our discontinued TeraOptix unit. The charge related to the disposal of our discontinued TeraOptix unit was primarily due to the sale of our vacant facility in Westborough, Massachusetts in the third quarter of fiscal 2005. The earnings from continuing operations for fiscal 2006 were $14.5 million, or $0.79 per diluted share, as compared with earnings from continuing operations of $9.4 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, for fiscal 2005.

Backlog

Backlog at June 30, 2006 totaled $80.8 million, an increase of $14.2 million, or 21%, from $66.6 million at June 30, 2005. The year-end fiscal 2006 backlog consisted of $42.9 million, or 53%, in the semiconductor segment and $37.9 million, or 47%, in the industrial segment. Orders for fiscal 2006 totaled $182.3 million. Orders by segment for fiscal 2006 consisted of $107.1 million, or 59%, in the semiconductor segment and $75.2 million, or 41%, in the industrial segment. The increase in the backlog is reflective of strength across all segments especially lithography related orders.

TRANSACTIONS WITH STOCKHOLDER

Sales to Canon, a stockholder, customer, and distributor of certain of our products in Japan amounted to $48.1 million (27% of net sales), $61.4 million (36% of net sales), and $51.9 million (37% of net sales) for the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. Selling prices of products sold to Canon are based, generally, on the normal terms customarily given to distributors. Revenues generated from a development contract with Canon are recorded on a cost-plus basis. At June 30, 2007 and 2006, there was in the aggregate,$4.5 million and $6.0 million, respectively, of trade accounts receivable from Canon.

In September 2002, we entered into a contract with Canon related to the development of certain interferometers. In March 2004, we signed a preliminary agreement to begin further add-on work; the definitive agreement for this additional work was signed in December 2004. In February 2005, we entered into two additional agreements with Canon related to the development of prototype production tools and accessories. During the twelve months ended June 30, 2007, we recognized revenue of $4.1 million under the Canon development services contract compared with $20.0 million for the comparable prior period. Our development services contract with Canon Inc. was completed during the third quarter of fiscal 2007

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 2007, cash and marketable securities was $70.2 million, an increase of $4.7 million from $65.5 million at June 30, 2006. The increase in cash was primarily attributable to cash generated from our operating activities, partially offset by an increase in inventory and capital expenditures and a significant decrease in progress payments. This increase in inventory was primarily attributable to an increase in inventory for semiconductor systems and to a lesser extent, for certain other product lines.

Cash flows from operating activities were $15.1 million for fiscal 2007 as compared with $16.0 million in fiscal 2006. The decrease was primarily due to progress payments received in fiscal 2006 related to our development services agreements, flat panel systems, and optics contracts. In fiscal 2007, we utilized the progress payments in excess of new progress payments for flat panel systems and the end of the development services agreement.

Acquisitions of property, plant, and equipment were $10.1 million in fiscal 2007 as compared with $7.4 million for fiscal 2006. The increase was due primarily to the additional equipment for the manufacture and demonstration of the new semiconductor products, test equipment for increased efficiency, and tooling for the manufacture of new products.

There were no borrowings outstanding under our $3.0 million bank line of credit agreement at June 30, 2007 and 2006. The agreement contains certain financial covenants which, among others, relate to debt service and consolidated debt ratios

In August 2007, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program of up to $25.0 million. We expect the repurchase of the stock to be paid by the combination of current earnings and current cash and cash equivalent balances. Although cash requirements will fluctuate based on the timing and extent of various factors, management believes that cash generated from operations, together with the liquidity provided by existing cash balances and borrowing capability, will be sufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements for the next 12 months.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

The following table summarizes our significant contractual obligations at June 30, 2007, and the effect such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future periods.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have not created, and are not party to, any special-purpose or off-balance sheet entities for the purpose of raising capital, incurring debt, or operating parts of our business that are not consolidated into our financial statements. We have not guaranteed any obligations of a third party.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The following discussion about our market risk involves forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates, changes in the investment grade of marketable securities, and foreign currency exchange rates. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

We maintain a portfolio of cash equivalents and marketable securities including institutional money market funds (which may include commercial paper, certificates of deposit, and U.S. treasury securities), government agency securities, and corporate bonds. Our interest income is sensitive to changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates, particularly on our short-term instruments. The table below presents investment amounts and related weighted average interest rates by year of maturity for our investment portfolio.

Fair value of investments as of June 30, 2007 maturing in:
(Dollars in millions)
	2008			2009			2010			2011			2012			Thereafter

Weighted average interest rate		4.8	%		4.8	%		5.3	%		0.0	%		0.0	%		0.0	%

On June 30, 2007, the Company had variable interest rate money market accounts valued at $9.1 million.

Marketable Securities Fair Market Value Sensitivity

At June 30, 2007, our investment portfolio included certain investments, aggregating $1.6 million, in entities believed to have risk exposure in sub-prime markets. We have reviewed, along with our investment advisor, current investment ratings, company specific events, and general economic conditions in determining whether there is a significant decline in fair value that is other than temporary. To the extent we determine that a decline in fair value is other than temporary, the marketable security is valued at the current fair value and an impairment charge is reflected in earnings. In addition, if the investment grades of the securities decline, liquidity in the market may be restricted or the market value of the security may decline. There is the potential that, if credit limits tighten significantly, the issuer may not have access to the capital markets to pay off the securities at the time of maturity.

Exchange Rate Sensitivity

Approximately 79% of our fiscal 2007 net sales were denominated in U.S. dollars. At June 30, 2007, our backlog included orders in U.S. dollars of $64.4million, or 89%of the total backlog. Substantially all of our costs are negotiated and paid in U.S. dollars. Significant changes in the values of foreign currencies relative to the value of the U.S. dollar can impact sales of our products in export markets as would changes in the general economic conditions in those markets. For our sales that are based in local currency, we are exposed to foreign exchange fluctuations from the time customers are invoiced in local currency until collection occurs.

We enter into forward contracts to reduce the impact of adverse fluctuations on earnings associated with foreign currency exchange rate changes. We do not enter into any derivative transactions for speculative purposes. These contracts are entered into for periods consistent with the currency transaction exposures, generally three to six months. Any gains and losses on the fair value of these contracts would largely offset corresponding losses and gains on the underlying transactions. The majority of our foreign currency transactions and foreign operations are denominated in the euro and Japanese yen. In the absence of a substantial increase in sales orders in currencies other than U.S. dollars, we believe a 10% appreciation or depreciation of the U.S. dollar against the euro and yen would have an immaterial impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Financial statements and supplementary data required pursuant to this item begin on Page F-1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this report, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based upon their evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting on a timely basis information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act and were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Management on Zygo Corporation’s Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We, as members of management of Zygo Corporation (the "Company"), are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is identified in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The Company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company's management and Board of Directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive and financial officers, we assessed the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2007, based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, we concluded that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2007 based on the specified criteria.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Stockholders
Zygo Corporation
Middlefield, Connecticut

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Zygo Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2007. We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2007, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Report of Management on Zygo Corporation’s Internal Control Over Financial Reporting (Item 9A). Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company's board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Zygo Corporation and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2007, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

As discussed in Notes 1 and 13 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for stock options as of July 1, 2005.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years Ended June 30, 2007, 2006, and 2005
(Dollars in thousands, except for per share amounts)

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Operations and Principles of Consolidation
Zygo Corporation is a worldwide supplier in optical metrology instruments, precision optics, and elecro-optical design and manufacturing services, serving customers in the semiconductor capital equipment and industrial markets. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Zygo Corporation and its subsidiaries (“ZYGO,” “we,” “us,” “our” or “Company”). All material transactions and accounts with the subsidiaries have been eliminated from the consolidated financial statements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider cash and investments in securities with maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

Marketable Securities
We consider investments in securities with maturities at the date of purchase in excess of three months as marketable securities. Marketable securities consist primarily of corporate and government agency securities. All securities held by us at June 30, 2007 and 2006 were classified as held-to-maturity and recorded at amortized cost.

Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined on a first-in, first-out basis) or market.

Property, Plant, and Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Management evaluates, on an ongoing basis, the carrying value of our property, plant, and equipment and makes adjustments when impairments are identified. Depreciation is based on the estimated useful lives of the various classes of assets and is computed using the straight-line method.

Intangible Assets
Intangible assets include patents, trademarks, and license agreements. The cost of intangible assets is amortized on a straight-line basis, over estimated useful lives ranging from 5-17 years.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the carrying value of intangible assets and other long-lived assets is reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances, both internally and externally, that may suggest impairment. Some factors considered important, which could trigger an impairment review, include a significant decrease in the market value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, a significant adverse change in the business climate that could affect the value of an asset, an accumulation of costs for an asset in excess of the amount originally expected, a current period operating loss or cash flow decline combined with a history of operating losses or cash flow uses or a projection that demonstrates continuing losses, and a current expectation that, it’s more likely than not, a long-lived asset will be disposed of at a loss before the end of its estimated useful life.

If any such facts or circumstances exist, the carrying value of long-lived assets are evaluated to determine if impairment exists based upon estimated undiscounted future cash flows over the remaining useful life of the assets and comparing that value to the carrying value of the assets. If the carrying value of the assets is greater than the estimated future cash flows, the assets are written down to the estimated fair value. The estimated fair value of the assets is based on a current market value of the assets. If a current market value is not readily available, a projected discounted cash flow method is applied using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in the current business model. Our cash flow estimates contain management's best estimates, using appropriate and customary assumptions and projections at the time.

F - 8

Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. As of June 30, 2007 and 2006, income tax contingencies are evaluated on the criteria in SFAS No. 5 based on their probability of occurring.

Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue based on guidance provided in Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, “Revenue Recognition,” and in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, our price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. We recognize revenue on our standard products when title passes to the customer upon shipment. While our standard products generally require installation, the installation is considered a perfunctory performance obligation. The standard products do not have customer acceptance criteria. Generally, software is a component of our standard product and, as such, is not separately recognized as revenue. Standalone software products are recognized as revenue when they are shipped. We have standard rights of return that we account for as a warranty provision under SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies.” We do not have any price protection agreements or other post shipment obligations. For custom equipment where customer acceptance is part of the sales agreement, revenue is recognized when the customer has accepted the product. In cases where custom equipment does not have customer acceptance as part of the sales agreement, we recognize revenue upon shipment, as long as the system meets the specifications as agreed upon with the customer. Certain transactions have multiple deliverables, with the deliverables clearly defined. To the extent that the secondary deliverables are other than perfunctory, we recognize the revenue on each deliverable, if separable, or on the completion of all deliverables, if not separable. Revenue generated from development contracts are recorded on a cost-plus basis in the period services are rendered.

Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Reimbursements from customers for research and development costs are recorded as offsets to the expenses. In fiscal 2007 and 2006, reimbursements totaled $170 and $1,176, respectively. There were no reimbursements from customers for research and development costs in fiscal 2005.

Earnings Per Share
Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” The following table sets forth the reconciliation of weighted average shares outstanding and diluted weighted average shares outstanding:

	June 30, 2007	June 30, 2006	June 30, 2005
Weighted average shares outstanding	18,155,627	18,053,596	17,950,423
Dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock	445,675	313,470	189,750
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding	18,601,302	18,367,066	18,140,173

F - 9

Share-Based Compensation
We have two share-based compensation plans, which are described in Note 13. In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS 123(R), “Share-Based Payment (as amended).” SFAS No. 123(R) eliminates the alternative to use the intrinsic value method of accounting that was provided in SFAS No. 123, which generally resulted in no compensation expense recorded in the financial statements related to the issuance of equity awards to employees and directors to the extent issued at fair market value. SFAS No. 123(R) requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. SFAS No. 123(R) establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share-based payment arrangements and requires all companies to apply a fair-value-based measurement method in accounting generally for all share-based payment transactions with employees. SFAS 123(R) does not require the recording of compensation expense in periods prior to the date of adoption.

On July 1, 2005, we adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using a modified prospective method. Compensation expense for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 was $2,189, with a related tax benefit of $788. Share-based compensation expense for fiscal 2007 increased cost of sales by $244, selling, general, and administration by $1,497, and research, development, and engineering by $448. Compensation expense for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 was $1,698, with a related tax benefit of $608. Share-based compensation expense for fiscal 2006 increased cost of sales by $419, selling, general, and administration by $1,023, and research, development, and engineering by $256. Under this application, we are required to record compensation expense for all awards granted after the date of adoption and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding at the date of adoption. In addition, we made changes to our employee stock purchase plan for periods beginning after July 1, 2005, which rendered the plan non-compensatory in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R).

Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), we applied Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations in accounting for our plans. The following table details the effect on net earnings and earnings per share had compensation expense for the employee share-based awards been recorded for fiscal years ended June 30, 2005 based on the fair value method under SFAS No. 123.

	June 30,  2005

Diluted - as reported	$	0.50
Diluted - pro forma	$	0.36

The above pro forma information is based on historical activity and may not represent future trends.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires that reporting entities provide, to the extent practicable, the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value because they are short-term in nature.

Use of Estimates
Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to bad debts, inventories, long-lived assets, share-based compensation, income taxes, and warranty obligations. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

F - 10

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses related to these financial instruments reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of SFAS 159 on our financial statements.

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 108 (“SAB 108”) to address diversity in practice in quantifying financial statement misstatements. SAB 108 requires that we quantify misstatements based on their impact on each of our financial statements and related disclosures. SAB 108 was effective as of the end of our 2007 fiscal year, allowing a one-time transitional cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of June 30, 2007 for errors that were not previously deemed material, but are material under the guidance in SAB 108. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material effect on our financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, "Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans" ("SFAS 158"). SFAS 158 requires employers to fully recognize the obligations associated with single-employer defined benefit pension, retiree healthcare, and other post-retirement plans in their financial statements. The provisions of SFAS 158 are effective as of the end of our fiscal year ending June 30, 2007. The impact of the provisions of SFAS 158 did not have a material effect on our company.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS 157 are effective for our fiscal year beginning July 1, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of SFAS 157 on our company.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN No. 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The Interpretation provides a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Under FIN No. 48, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN No. 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN No. 48 is effective for us beginning July 1, 2007. While the Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of the interpretation on the consolidated financial statements, the Company expects the cumulative effect of adoption to reduce opening retained earnings by no more than $4.8 million with a corresponding increase in reserves for uncertain tax positions, primarily related to certain federal tax credit carryforwards.

NOTE 2: RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2005 have been restated in 2006 for corrections in the accounting of intercompany transactions from certain of our foreign operations. The fiscal year 2005 adjustments reduced revenues by $818; earnings from continuing operations by $825; and earnings per diluted share from continuing operations and net income per diluted share by $0.04.

NOTE 3: DIVESTITURES AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In September 2002, we committed to a planned disposition of our TeraOptix business unit (“TeraOptix”) which included recording impairment charges for the facility and equipment. In fiscal 2005, we recorded an additional impairment charge and adjustments of $124, net of tax of $43, to reflect the fair value based on final negotiations of a pending sale. The sale of the facility was completed in March 2005 for $1,918, net of selling expenses.

NOTE 4: MARKETABLE SECURITIES

Marketable securities consisted primarily of corporate and government agency securities for fiscal 2007 and 2006. Marketable securities at June 30, 2007 and 2006 are reported at amortized cost. Straight-line amortization related to discounts and premiums on the purchase of marketable securities was $(30), $131, and $107 in fiscal 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. As of June 30, 2003, we transferred our marketable securities from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity. Accordingly, the gross unrealized gains have been amortized over the remaining life. Amortization, net of tax, related to the unrealized gain was $19, $13, and $30 in fiscal 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.

Dividend and interest income is recognized when earned. Realized gains and losses are included in earnings and are derived using the specific identification method for determining the cost of securities sold. No sales were made in the three years ended June 30, 2007.

The amortized cost, gross unrealized gains and losses, and fair value of held-to-maturity securities at June 30, 2007 and 2006 were as follows:

				Gross		Gross
	Amortized			Unrealized		Unrealized		Fair
	Cost			Gains		Losses		Value
At June 30, 2007
Corporate, federal, state

In determining whether investment holdings are other than temporarily impaired, we consider the nature, cause, severity, and duration of the impairment. We and our investment advisors use analyst reports, credit ratings and other items as part of our review. No investments were considered to be other than temporarily impaired at June 30, 2007 and 2006.

Amortization expense related to intangible assets is included in cost of goods sold in the consolidated statements of operations.

NOTE 9: BANK LINE OF CREDIT

We have a $3,000 unsecured bank line of credit agreement bearing interest at our choice of either the prime rate (8.25% at June 30, 2007) or the one month LIBOR rate plus a variable interest rate of 1.0% to 2.5%, based on a pricing grid related to a certain debt ratio, adjusted quarterly. The agreement contains certain financial covenants which, among others, relate to debt service and consolidated debt ratios. The line of credit is available through November 17, 2007. At June 30, 2007 and 2006, no amounts were outstanding under the bank line of credit.

NOTE 10: WARRANTY LIABILITY

A limited warranty is provided on our products for periods typically ranging from 3 to 18 months and allowances for estimated warranty costs are recorded during the period of sale. The determination of such allowances requires management to make estimates of product return rates and expected costs to repair or replace products under warranty. If actual return rates or repair and replacement costs, or both, differ significantly from management’s estimates, adjustments to recognize additional expense may be required.

NOTE 12: PROFIT-SHARING PLAN

We maintain a deferred profit-sharing plan under which substantially all full-time employees are eligible to participate. The profit-sharing plan consists of a cash distribution and a contribution to our 401(k) program. Profit-sharing contributions are determined annually at the discretion of the Board of Directors. We also maintain a 401(k) tax deferred payroll deduction program and an Employee Stock Ownership Program. Under the 401(k) program, employees may contribute a tax-deferred amount of up to 60% of their compensation, as defined. We may contribute to the 401(k) program an amount determined annually at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Under the Employee Stock Ownership Program, we may, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, contribute our own stock or contribute cash to purchase our own stock. The purchased stock's fair market value can not exceed the maximum amount of employee stock ownership credit as determined under Section 416 of the Internal Revenue Code. Our contribution expenses related to the plans for the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006, and 2005, amounted to $3,630, $2,847, and $2,070, respectively.

NOTE 13: SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

Share-Based Compensation Plans
Zygo has two share-based compensation plans. The Zygo Corporation 2002 Equity Incentive Plan (“2002 Plan”) permits the granting of stock options to purchase shares of common stock and the granting of restricted stock up to a total of 3,300,000 shares. The exercise price per share of common stock covered by an option may not be less than the par value per share on the date of grant, and in the case of an incentive stock option, the exercise price may not be less than the market value per share on the date of grant. These options generally vest over a four year period at a rate of 25% each year. Generally, restricted stock awards have 50% of their restrictions lapse after three years and the remaining 50% lapse after four years. The 2002 Plan will expire on August 27, 2012. Pursuant to the terms of the 2002 Plan, the Board of Directors may also amend the 2002 Plan to authorize the grant of other types of equity-based awards, without further action by our stockholders. Options issued to non-employee directors are now issued under this plan. As part of director’s compensation for services to our company, non-employee directors are granted 5,000 restricted shares, which vest after one year, on an annual basis and each new non-employee director will be granted options to purchase 16,000 shares of common stock on his or her first day of service, at the market value per share on the date of grant. These options will vest over a four year period at a rate of 25% each year.

F - 15

The Zygo Corporation Amended and Restated Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (“Director Plan”) permits the granting of non-qualified options to purchase a total of 620,000 shares (adjusted for splits) of common stock at prices not less than the market value of the stock on the date of grant. Under the terms of the Director Plan, as amended on September 24, 1999, each new non-employee director (other than a person who was previously an employee of ZYGO or any of our subsidiaries) was granted an option to purchase 8,000 shares of common stock, generally, on his or her first day of service as a non-employee director; and each other non-employee director was granted an option to purchase 3,000 shares of common stock on an annual basis. All options were fully exercisable on the date of grant and had a 10-year term. The Director Plan, as amended, will expire on November 17, 2009. The Company ceased granting options under this plan in fiscal 2003 and does not intend to grant further options under the Director Plan.

On June 26, 2001, the Board of Directors granted a warrant to purchase 25,000 shares of our common stock to the Zetetic Institute, a non-profit organization that provides assistance to us in connection with certain research and development activities. The warrant has an exercise price of $18.64 per share, the closing price of the common stock on the date of the grant, and vested in equal annual increments over the four-year period following the date of grant. The warrant will expire in fiscal 2011.

We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to calculate the fair value of stock option awards. The key assumptions for this valuation method include the expected term of the option, stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, exercise price, and forfeiture rate. Under the assumptions indicated below, the weighted-average fair value of stock option grants for fiscal 2007, 2006, and 2005 were $6.23, $5.41 and $6.32, respectively. The table below indicates the key assumptions used in the option valuation calculations for options granted in fiscal 2007, 2006, and 2005, and a discussion of our methodology for developing each of the assumptions used in the valuation model:

	Fiscal Years Ended June 30,
	2007	2006	2005
Term	4.1 Years	4.1 Years	4.5 Years
Volatility	52.1%	52.9%	64-80%
Dividend yield	0.0%	0.0%	0.0%
Risk-free interest rate	4.7-4.8%	3.9-4.4%	3.2-3.9%
Forfeiture rate	10.7%	10.6%	4.0%

Term – This is the period of time over which the options granted are expected to remain outstanding. Options granted have a maximum term of ten years. An increase in the expected term will increase compensation expense.

Volatility – This is a measure of the amount by which a price has fluctuated or is expected to fluctuate. Volatilities are based on implied volatilities from traded options of ZYGO’s shares, historical volatility of ZYGO’s shares, and other factors, such as expected changes in volatility arising from planned changes in ZYGO’s business operations. An increase in the expected volatility will increase compensation expense.

Risk-Free Interest Rate – This is the U.S. Treasury rate for the week of the grant having a term equal to the expected term of the option. An increase in the risk-free interest rate will increase compensation expense.

Dividend Yield – We did not make any dividend payments during the last five fiscal years and we have no plans to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. An increase in the dividend yield will decrease compensation expense.

Forfeiture Rate – This is the estimated percentage of options granted that are expected to be forfeited or canceled before becoming fully vested. An increase in the forfeiture rate will decrease compensation expense.

As of June 30, 2007, there was $3,600 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to restricted stock awards. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.8 years.

At June 30, 2007, an aggregate of 1,948,062 shares remained available for future grants under our share-based compensation plans, which cover stock awards and stock options. We issue shares to satisfy stock option exercises and restricted stock awards, as applicable.

NOTE 14: EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

In November 2000, we adopted a non-compensatory Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). Under the ESPP, employees who elect to participate have the ability to purchase common stock at a 5% discount from the market value of such stock (15% discount from the market value for the period from November 2000 until June 30, 2005). The ESPP permits an enrolled employee to make contributions to purchase shares of common stock by having withheld from his or her salary an amount between 1% and 10% of compensation. The total number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the ESPP is 500,000. At June 30, 2007 and 2006, we had withheld from employees $145 and $163, respectively, for the purchases of shares under this plan, and in July 2007 and 2006, we issued approximately 10,325 and 10,278 shares of common stock, respectively.

Income tax payments, net of refunds, were $3,272, $1,316, and $765 in fiscal 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.

The total income tax expense differs from the amount computed by applying the applicable U.S. federal income tax rate of 35% in fiscal 2007, 2006, and 2005 to earnings before income taxes for the following reasons:

	Fiscal Year Ended June 30,

During fiscal 2006, the Company completed a redetermination of its fiscal 2005 and 2004 Extraterritorial Income Exclusion (“EIE”). Due to this redetermination, the Company recorded a tax benefit of $1,192. The Company’s tax rate for fiscal 2007 was negatively impacted by the repeal of the EIE. The Company claimed a benefit on foreign trading income from foreign sales through December 31, 2006. The Company does not expect any significant tax benefit from the Manufacturing Deduction as provided in IRC Sec. 199 due to its NOL position.

During fiscal 2006, the Company released a foreign tax reserve of $328 upon the completion of the taxing authorities’ audit in the foreign jurisdiction.

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities as of June 30, 2007 and 2006 are presented below:

Unrealized gain on marketable securities		-			(7	)
Deferred tax liability		(3,577	)		(3,671	)
Net deferred tax asset	$	20,777		$	27,392

The net current deferred tax assets and net non-current deferred tax assets as recorded on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2007 and 2006 are as follows:

	June 30, 2007		June 30, 2006
Net current deferrred tax asset	$	15,077	$	11,959
Net noncurrent deferred tax asset		5,700		15,433
Net deferred tax asset	$	20,777	$	27,392

The deferred tax provisions for 2007 and 2006 do not reflect the tax benefit of $164 and $229, respectively, resulting from amounts charged to other comprehensive income and paid in capital, which includes $164 and $189 from the exercise of employee stock options in 2007 and 2006, respectively.

During 2007, the valuation allowance changed primarily due to the generation of additional tax credits that were fully valued, along with the utilization of fully valued net operating losses.

Management believes it is more likely than not that the remaining net deferred tax assets of $20,777 as of June 30, 2007 will be realized as the results of future operations are expected to generate sufficient taxable income to do so.

At June 30, 2007, our share of the cumulative undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries was $2,654. No provision has been made for U.S. or additional foreign taxes on the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries because we intend to continue to reinvest these earnings. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability associated with these earnings is not practicable.

At June 30, 2007, we have federal, foreign, and state NOL carryforwards of approximately $29,928, $351, and $22,681, respectively, and various state credit carryforwards of $5,879.

NOTE 16: SEGMENT REPORTING

During the second quarter of fiscal 2007, we reorganized the business into two operating divisions – Metrology Solutions (Metrology segment) and Optical Systems (Optics segment). Consistent with our new business structure, beginning with the second quarter in fiscal 2007, we reported our segments as Metrology and Optics. The Metrology segment consistes of OEM and in-line products primarily for the semiconductor and industrial markets. The Optics segment consists of components and opto-mechanical assemblies primarily for the medical, defense, and aerospace industries, which are included in the industrial market. The chief operating decision-maker uses this information to allocate resources. Prior to the second quarter, our segments were reported as Semiconductor and Industrial. Prior year segment information has been restated in a manner consistent with our new reporting segments.

NOTE 17: TRANSACTIONS WITH STOCKHOLDER

Sales to Canon, Inc., a stockholder representing approximately 7% ownership at June 30, 2007, and Canon Sales Co., Inc., a distributor of certain of our products in Japan and a subsidiary of Canon Inc. (collectively “Canon”), amounted to $48,147 (27% of net sales) $61,366 (36% of net sales), and $51,887 (37% of net sales), for the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. Selling prices of products sold to Canon are based, generally, on the normal terms given to distributors. Revenues generated from development contracts are recorded on a cost-plus basis.

In September 2002, we entered into a contract with Canon related to the development of certain interferometers. In March 2004, we signed a preliminary agreement to begin further add-on work; the definitive agreement for this additional work was signed in December 2004. In February 2005, we entered into two additional agreements with Canon related to the development of prototype production tools and accessories. Work on these development services was completed during the third quarter of fiscal 2007. During fiscal 2007, 2006, and 2005, we recognized revenue in the Metrology segment of $4,051, $20,014, and $15,617, respectively, for the original contract and subsequent add-on work. At June 30, 2007 and 2006, there were, in the aggregate, $4,515 and $5,966, respectively, of trade accounts receivable from Canon.

NOTE 18: HEDGING ACTIVITIES

We enter into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the impact of adverse fluctuations on earnings associated with foreign currency exchange rate changes. We do not enter into any derivative transactions for speculative purposes. These contracts are not designated as cash flow, fair value, or net investment hedges under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended, and therefore, are marked-to-market with changes in fair value recorded to earnings. These contracts are entered into for periods consistent with the currency transaction exposures, generally three to six months. Any gains and losses on the fair value of these contracts would largely offset corresponding losses and gains on the underlying transactions.

As of June 30, 2007, we had eight foreign currency forward contracts outstanding aggregating to $8,500. Net unrealizable gains recognized from foreign currency forward contracts for fiscal 2007 was $148, and are included in other income in the consolidated statements of operations. These gains are substantially offset by foreign exchange losses on intercompany balances recorded by our subsidiaries.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

AGREEMENT made as of June 15, 2007 between ZYGO CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation with an office at Laurel Brook Road, Middlefield, Connecticut 06455 (the “Company”), and WALTER A. SHEPHARD, residing at 26 Harbor View Drive, Essex, Connecticut 06426 (the “Executive”).

WITNESSETH

WHEREAS, the Company desires that Executive be employed to serve in a senior executive capacity with the Company, and Executive desires to be so employed by the Company upon the terms and conditions herein set forth.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual promises, representations and covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     1.      EMPLOYMENT

The Executive has served as the Vice President, Finance, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer since February 2004, reporting to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Company desires to continue to employ Executive and Executive desires to continue such employment, subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth.

     2.      TERM

The initial term of employment under this Agreement shall begin on the effective date of this Agreement (the “Employment Date”), and shall continue for a period of one year from that date, subject to prior termination in accordance with the terms hereof. Thereafter, this Agreement shall automatically be renewed for successive one year terms, subject to prior termination in accordance with the terms hereof, unless either party shall give the other thirty (30) days prior written notice of its or his intent not to renew this Agreement. The initial one- year term together with all such additional one-year period(s) of employment, if any, are collectively referred to herein as the “term” of this Agreement.

     3.      COMPENSATION

As compensation for the employment services to be rendered by Executive hereunder, the Company agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, to Executive, and Executive agrees to accept, payable in equal installments in accordance with Company practice, an annual salary which shall in no event be less than $244,200, or such higher amount as the Board of Directors may determine from time to time. In addition, Executive shall be entitled to additional contingent compensation from time to time in accordance with the terms of the Company’s Management Incentive Plan applicable to Executive (“MIP”), as the same may be amended from time to time by the Compensation Committee of the Board. (The MIP could potentially be worth a maximum of fifty percent (50%) of Executive’s base pay at target with an upside potential if all goals are achieved. This bonus is based upon the achievement of corporate and individual goals established prior to the start of each fiscal year, which begins on July 1 of each year.)

     4.      EXPENSES

The Company shall pay or reimburse Executive, upon presentment of suitable vouchers, for all reasonable business and travel expenses which may be incurred or paid by Executive in connection with his employment hereunder. Executive shall comply with such restrictions and shall keep such records as the Company may deem necessary to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, and regulations promulgated thereunder.

     5.      AUTOMOBILE

The Company shall, during the term of Executive’s employment hereunder, provide Executive with a monthly automobile allowance in the amount of $900 and a mileage reimbursement of $.10 per mile for Company use of an automobile. This car allowance is considered taxable income and therefore will have regular payroll taxes deducted.

     6.     INSURANCE AND OTHER BENEFITS

Executive shall be entitled to such vacations and to participate in and receive any other benefits customarily provided by the Company (including, but not limited to, a 401(k) plan, an employee stock purchase plan (sometimes referred to as the “Zygo Shares Plan”), a Section 125(c) pre-tax insurance premium and health/dependent care reimbursement program, profit sharing, health insurance, dental coverage, life insurance, AD&D, short and long-term disability, tuition reimbursement program, and travel accident insurance in accordance with the terms of such plans) and including stock options, restricted shares, all as determined from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Company. Unused annual vacations may be carried over to the extent permitted by Company policy.

     7.      CHANGE IN CONTROL

     (a) Definition. A “Change in Control” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events:

          (i) The Company is merged with or consolidated with another corporation in a transaction in which (x) the Company is not the surviving corporation, and (y) the Company’s stockholders immediately prior to such transaction do not own at least 70% of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving corporation immediately following the transaction; or

          (ii) Any person or entity or affiliated group of persons or entities becomes the holder of more than 51% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Payments. If a Change in Control occurs during the term of the Executive’s Employment pursuant to this Agreement then, if Executive resigns or is terminated for other than “justifiable cause” (as defined in Section 11(d) hereof) for any reason within one year after the Change in Control, the Company shall (a) continue existing health insurance and dental coverage, provided that should the Executive elects COBRA and fulfills his obligations to make payments as required, the Company will contribute toward the premium for continued health and dental insurance coverage for the Executive at the rate the Company contributes for active employees for either the period for which the Executive receives severance payments or until the Executive elects another health and dental insurance policy, b) continue the Executive’s salary for a one year period; provided, however that during the applicable period in which benefits are being paid by the Company, Executive agrees to maintain a consulting relationship with the Company which shall not interfere with other obligations of the Executive (c)pay the Executivea pro-rated bonus (based on the target bonus amount for the fiscal year in which the change of control occurs providing Executive is still employed 90 days after the change of control).

8.      DUTIES

(a) Executive shall perform such duties and functions as the President and Chief Executive Officer and Board of Directors of the Company shall from time to time determine and Executive shall comply in the performance of his duties with the policies of, and be subject to, the direction of the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Board of Directors.

(b) Executive agrees to devote substantially all his working time, attention and energies to the performance of the business of the Company and of any of its subsidiaries by which he may be employed; and Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, alone or as a member of any partnership or other organization, or as an officer, director or employee of any other corporation, partnership or other organization, be actively engaged in or concerned with any other duties or pursuits which interfere with the performance of his duties hereunder, or which, even if non- interfering, may be inimical, or contrary, to the best interests of the Company, except those duties or pursuits specifically authorized by the Board of Directors.

(c) All fees, compensation or commissions for personal services (excluding existing fees, if any, that Executive is receiving from present Board of Director positions) received by Executive during the term of this Agreement shall be paid to the Company when received by Executive, except those fees that the Board of Directors determines may be kept by Executive. Executive will obtain the approval of the Board of Directors before accepting any director positions. This provision shall not be construed to prevent Executive from investing or trading in non-conflicting investments as he sees fit for his own account, including real estate, stocks, bonds, securities, commodities or other forms of investments.

(a)  Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated at any time upon written notice from the Company to Executive,

(e) If Executive shall die during the term of his employment hereunder, this Agreement shall terminate immediately.

(h) Upon the termination of Executive’s employment hereunder for “justifiable cause,” this Agreement shall terminate immediately.

    10.     REPRESENTATIONS AND AGREEMENTS OF EXECUTIVE
