NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they
do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete consolidated financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
adjustments) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included.
These consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the
year ended December 31, 2000, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K.
In fiscal year 2000, the Company adopted SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101
("SAB 101"), "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." Financial statements
and data for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2000 have been
restated in accordance with SAB 101. In accordance with guidance provided in SAB
101, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $2.0 million, which included
deferred revenue of $4.2 million, to reflect the cumulative effect of the
accounting change as of the beginning of fiscal year 2000. For the quarter and
nine month periods ended September 30, 2000, the Company recognized revenue of
$0.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively, that was included in the cumulative
effect adjustment as of January 1, 2000. For the quarter and nine month periods
ended September 30, 2001, the Company recognized revenue of $0 and $0.7 million,
respectively, that was included in the cumulative effect adjustment as of
January 1, 2000.
Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2001
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 2001.
The Company's fiscal year end is December 31. The Company's fiscal quarters end
on the Saturday nearest the end of the calendar quarters. For convenience, the
Company has indicated that its quarters end on March 31, June 30 and September
30.

NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share amounts were computed using the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
The computation of diluted net income per share for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2000 included the effect of dilutive securities
attributable to stock options and contingently issued shares outstanding during
the period. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted
net income (loss) per share (in thousands, except per share data):

Options to purchase 3,397,000 shares of common stock were outstanding at
September 30, 2001, but were not included in the computations of diluted net
loss per share as the effect would be antidilutive.
In connection with previous acquisitions, 130,000 shares of common stock were in
escrow as of September 30, 2001. These shares were subject to certain
representations and warranties, and were not included in the computations of
diluted net loss per share as the effect would be antidilutive.
LEASE AGREEMENT
In March 1997, the Company entered into a $12.0 million, five-year operating
lease for approximately 21.5 acres of land in San Jose, California. On July 1,
1998, the lease agreement was amended to provide a construction allowance. The
lease agreement was further amended and, effective June 30, 2001, required a
mandatory collateralization of $48.3 million, which was included in other assets
as restricted cash. This amendment also included an adjustment to the interest
rate and certain restrictions on the repurchase of the Company's common stock.
The monthly lease payments are based on the London Interbank Offering Rate
(LIBOR). At current interest rates, as amended, and based on the lease amount of
$48.3 million as of September 30, 2001, the annual lease payments are
approximately $2.0 million. These interest rates are sensitive to inflation and
other economic factors, and a significant increase in rates may have a negative
impact on the earnings of the Company. At September 30, 2001, the Company is in
compliance with the restrictive covenants contained in the lease agreement. At
the end of the lease, the Company has the option to purchase the land and
buildings for approximately $48.3 million. The guaranteed residual payment on
the lease on September 30, 2001 is approximately $41.1 million.
ACQUISITION OF STATWARE
On January 12, 2001, the Company acquired Statware, Inc. (Statware), a developer
of process optimization software technologies, for the following amounts (in
thousands):
Cash $ 600
Common stock issued, 161,940 shares 2,571
Acquisition costs 211
------------
$ 3,382
============
-6-
The Statware acquisition was recorded under the purchase method of accounting
and, accordingly, the results of operations of Statware are included in the
accompanying financial statements subsequent to the acquisition. The purchase
price was allocated, based on an independent appraisal obtained by the Company,
to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on
their respective fair values on the date of acquisition as follows (in
thousands):
Cash $ 39
Other assets, net 69
Identified intangibles:
Developed technology 705
Customer base 235
Assembled workforce 140
Deferred tax liability (399)
Goodwill 2,312
In-process research and development 281
------------
$ 3,382
============
To determine the value of in-process research and development of the acquired
business, the Company considered, among other factors, the stage of development
of each project, expected income, target markets, and associated risks.
Associated risks included inherent difficulties and uncertainties in completing
the project and, thereby, achieving technical feasibility and risks related to
the viability of and potential changes in future target markets. This analysis
resulted in a valuation of $281,000 for in-process research and development that
had not reached technical feasibility and did not have alternative future uses
and, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, was expensed
in the quarter ended March 31, 2001.
To determine the value of developed technology, the expected future cash flows
of each software product was discounted, taking into account risks related to
the characteristics and applications of each product, existing and future
markets, and assessments of the life cycle stage of each product. This analysis
resulted in a valuation for completed software that had reached technological
feasibility and, therefore, was capitalizable. Intangible assets will be
amortized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives ranging from
three to five years.
Goodwill, which represents the excess of the purchase price of an investment in
an acquired business over the fair value of the underlying net identifiable
assets, is being amortized on a straight line basis over its estimated remaining
useful life of five years.
In connection with the Statware acquisition, 70,262 shares of the Company's
common stock, included as consideration, were deposited into escrow accounts of
one to five years to indemnify the Company for any breach of the representations
and warranties of Statware. The operating results of Statware were immaterial
and would not have materially altered the results of the Company if presented on
a pro forma basis.
STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
On May 31, 2001, the Company's stockholders approved an amendment to the Amended
and Restated Electroglas, Inc. 1997 Stock Incentive Plan to increase the number
of shares reserved for issuance by 700,000.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)
For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2001, comprehensive loss was
$14.1 million and $43.1 million compared to comprehensive income of $12.1
million and $30.3 million for the same periods of the prior year.

SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company has four operating segments comprising its prober products,
inspection products, yield management software, and process optimization
software businesses. The Company's management has determined the operating
segments based upon how the business is managed and operated. The Company
evaluates performance and allocates resources based on operating income (loss),
excluding unusual or infrequent occurring items. There are no significant
inter-segment sales or transfers.
The aggregated prober products and inspection products businesses are the only
segments that are reportable based on the quantitative guidelines provided in
the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 ("FAS 131"). The yield
management software and process optimization businesses are outside the
quantitative guidelines in FAS 131 and are included with certain corporate
charges and expenses under the heading "All Other."
The following is a summary of the Company's operating segments (in thousands):

Sales to unaffiliated customers $ 159,660 $ 6,394 $ 166,054
Operating income (loss) $ 34,071 $ (5,793) $ 28,278
INCOME TAXES
The Company's provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30,
2001 was $15.7 million which represents current foreign, state and withholding
taxes and the establishment of a valuation allowance against its net deferred
tax assets in the amount of $15.6 million. Realization of the deferred tax
assets is dependent on the Company generating sufficient taxable income in
future years in appropriate tax jurisdictions. Due to the uncertainty of the
timing and amount of such realization, management concluded that a full
valuation allowance was required on September 30, 2001.
CONTINGENCIES
In connection with the formation of the Company in 1993, the Company agreed to
share with its former parent certain tax benefits arising from the increase in
the aggregate tax basis of the assets transferred. The accompanying financial
statements reflect an accrual of approximately $9.5 million, which is based on
the Company's best estimate of the amount payable under the agreement. However,
the actual amount payable and the timing of the payment are dependent on the
ultimate tax benefits realized and the timing of the realization of these tax
benefits.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations," and No. 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2001. Under the new rules, goodwill and intangible assets
deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be amortized but will be subject
to annual impairment tests in accordance with the Statements. Other intangible
assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The Company will
apply the new rules on accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets
beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. Application of the
nonamortization provisions of the Statements is not expected to have a material
impact on net income.
During fiscal 2002, the Company will perform the first of the required
impairment tests of goodwill, indefinite lived intangible assets and long-lived
assets as of January 1, 2002 and has not yet determined what the effect of these
tests will be on the earnings and financial position of the Company.
In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2001. SFAS No. 144 addresses the financial accounting and reporting
requirements for disposal of long-lived assets and discontinued operations. SFAS
No. 144 applies to all recorded long-lived assets that are held for use or that
will be disposed of, but excludes goodwill and other intangible assets that are
not amortized. The Company is assessing the impact on the financial statements
resulting from adoption of this Standard.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying
Financial Statements of Electroglas and the related notes thereto. This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the
"safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. All statements included in this Quarterly Report, other than statements
that are purely historical, are forward-looking statements. Words such as
"anticipates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates"
and similar expressions also identify forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements, which include statements regarding product sales,
product demand, gross profits, engineering research and development expenses,
cash flow, liquidity and anticipated cash needs and availability are not
guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by
the forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report, include, without
limitation: the Company's expectation is that the Company will continue to
experience a decline in quarterly orders, rescheduling of shipments to future
quarters, and cancellation of orders which will adversely impact sales into
2002; the Company's expectation that demand for the Company's products will
continue to fluctuate from period to period; the Company's belief that continued
weak demand and changes in market conditions may require additional provisions
for excess and obsolete inventory that may negatively impact gross profit in
future periods; the Company's belief that its gross profit will continue to be
affected by a number of factors, including competitive pressures, changes in
demand for semiconductors, product mix, the proportion of international sales,
the level of software sales, and excess manufacturing capacity costs; the
Company's intention to continue investing in its new product development
programs during the current business cycle downturn; and the Company's
anticipation that its existing capital resources and cash flow generated from
future operations will enable it to maintain its current level of operations and
its planned operations, including capital expenditures, for the foreseeable
future.
-9-
It is important to note that the Company's actual results could differ
materially from those in such forward-looking statements due to risks and
uncertainties such as: timely availability and acceptance of new hardware and
software products, capital expenditures of semiconductor manufacturers, changes
in demand for semiconductor products, competitive pricing pressures, product
volume and mix, development of new products, enhancement of existing products,
global economic conditions, availability of needed components, availability of
skilled employees, timing of orders received, fluctuations in foreign exchange
rates, introduction of competitors' products having technological and/or pricing
advantages, and the integration of the business of Statware and the continued
integration of the businesses of Knights and Inspection Products into the
Company. In addition, the Company has experienced, and may in the future
experience, significant fluctuations in its quarterly financial results.
All forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report are based on
information available to the Company on the date hereof, and the Company assumes
no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. You are cautioned
not to place undue reliance on such statements, which speak only as of the date
of this Quarterly Report. You should also consult the cautionary statements and
risk factors described in this Quarterly Report and listed from time to time in
the Company's Reports on Forms 10-Q, 8-K, 10-K and its Annual Reports to
Stockholders, including the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2000.

Results of Operations
Net Sales
Net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 were $9.5 million, a 84.1%
decrease from net sales of $59.4 million in the comparable quarter last year.
Net sales for the first nine months of 2001 were $71.5 million, a 57.0% decrease
from net sales of $166.1 million for the same period a year ago. The decreases
for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2001 were due primarily to
lower system unit sales of the Company's core prober business as customers
continued to curtail their capital spending in response to persisting excess
production capacity conditions. The Company continued to experience a decline in
quarterly orders as a result of a record downturn in the semiconductor industry
that reduced demand for equipment purchases in the Company's customer base.
These conditions will adversely impact the Company's sales for the remainder of
2001 and are expected to continue into 2002. The Company continues to have poor
visibility with respect to the level of orders for the coming quarters.
For the quarters ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, net sales were comprised of
prober and inspection systems ($3.2 and $51.0 million, respectively), yield
management and process optimization software ($1.8 and $2.2 million,
respectively), and aftermarket sales, consisting primarily of service, spare
parts and upgrades in support of the prober and inspection businesses ($4.4 and
$6.1 million, respectively). For the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and
2000, net sales were comprised of prober and inspection systems ($46.1 and
$140.3 million, respectively), yield management and process optimization
software ($5.6 and $6.4 million, respectively), and aftermarket sales,
consisting primarily of service, spare parts and upgrades in support of the
prober and inspection businesses ($19.7 and $19.3 million, respectively).
For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2001, international sales
accounted for 35.1% and 47.6% of net sales as compared to 54.7% and 50.1% for
the same periods last year. During the current quarter and nine month periods,
the Company experienced weakness across all geographic regions. For the quarter
and nine months ended September 30, 2001, the decrease in the percentage of
international sales from the same periods last year was due to a greater
decline, in absolute dollars, in total European and Asian-Pacific region sales,
relative to the decline in North American sales.
In accordance with guidance provided in SAB 101, the Company recorded a non-cash
charge of $2.0 million, which included deferred revenue of $4.2 million, to
reflect the cumulative effect of the accounting change as of the beginning of
fiscal year 2000. For the quarter and nine month periods ended September 30,
2000, the Company recognized revenue of $0.9 million and $1.6 million,
respectively, that was included in the cumulative effect adjustment as of
January 1, 2000. For the quarter and nine month periods ended September 30,
2001, the Company recognized revenue of $0 and $0.7 million, respectively, that
was included in the cumulative effect adjustment as of January 1, 2000.
Historically, the semiconductor and semiconductor manufacturing equipment
industries have been cyclical; therefore, the Company's results of operations
for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2001 may not
necessarily be indicative of future operating results. Demand for the Company's
products has declined in the recent quarter and is expected to continue to
fluctuate from period to period. As a result of the uncertainties in this market
environment, any rescheduling or cancellation of planned capital purchases by
semiconductor manufacturers will cause the Company's sales to fluctuate on a
quarterly basis.
Gross Profit
For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2001, gross profit, as a
percentage of sales, was (1.3%) and 28.3% as compared to 47.4% and 48.6% for the
same periods last year. The decreases for the quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 2001 as compared to the prior year were primarily due to reduced
unit sales volume and high factory fixed costs as a percentage of total costs.
In addition, provisions for excess and obsolete inventory of $0.6 million and
$4.2 million were recorded in the quarter and nine months ended September 30,
2001, respectively.
-11-
The Company believes that its gross profit will continue to be affected by a
number of factors, including competitive pressures, changes in demand for
semiconductors, product mix, the proportion of international sales, the level of
software sales, and excess manufacturing capacity costs. Continued weak demand
and changes in market conditions may cause orders to be below forecasts as was
experienced by the Company in the first three quarters of fiscal 2001, which may
result in excess inventory. Consequently, additional reserves may be required,
which may negatively impact gross profit in future periods.
Engineering, Research and Development
Engineering, research and development expenses were $7.5 million in the third
quarter of 2001, up 5.2% from $7.1 million in the comparable quarter last year.
As a percentage of sales, these expenses increased to 79.1% in the third
quarter, up from 12.0% in the same quarter of last year. For the first nine
months of 2001, these expenses were $24.2 million, up 15.6% from $20.9 million
in 2000. As a percentage of sales, these expenses increased to 33.8% in the
first nine months, up from 12.6% in the same period last year.
The increases for both periods, as a percentage of sales, were due mainly to the
lower volume of sales in 2001 and increased prototype expenses in 2001 related
to new product development programs. During the current business cycle downturn,
the Company intends to control discretionary expenses and continue investing in
its new product development programs. Engineering, research and development
expenses consist primarily of salaries, project materials, consultant fees, and
other costs associated with the Company's ongoing efforts in hardware and
software product development and enhancement.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $9.0 million in the third
quarter of 2001, down 15.6% from $10.7 million in the comparable quarter last
year. For the first nine months of 2001, these expenses were $29.6 million, down
5.7% from $31.4 million in 2000. These decreases for both periods were due to
reduced employee incentives and sales commissions, workforce reductions,
mandatory vacations, and curtailed discretionary spending.
Interest Income
Interest income was $1.6 million for the third quarter of 2001 as compared to
$2.8 million for the same quarter last year. For the first nine months of 2001
and 2000, interest income was $6.0 and $7.2 million, respectively. These
decreases in interest income were principally due to declining interest rates
Income Taxes
The Company's provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30,
2001 was $15.7 million which represents current foreign, state and withholding
taxes and the establishment of a valuation allowance against its net deferred
tax assets in the amount of $15.6 million. Realization of the deferred tax
assets is dependent on the Company generating sufficient taxable income in
future years in appropriate tax jurisdictions. Due to the uncertainty of the
timing and amount of such realization, management concluded that a full
valuation allowance was required at September 30, 2001. The estimated tax rate
for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was 8.2%, restated in accordance
with SAB 101, and included a partial release of the valuation allowance related
to net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards and the utilization of the
year's estimated research and development tax credits.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, and restricted
cash were $143.7 million at September 30, 2001, a decrease of $20.8 million from
$164.5 million at December 31, 2000.
-12-
Cash used in operating activities was $15.2 million during the first nine months
of 2001. This included a net loss of $43.5 million, offset by a decrease in
operating assets of $3.5 million, a decrease in net deferred tax assets of $18.9
million and noncash charges to income of $5.8 million. The decrease in operating
assets was due primarily to decreases of $13.5 million in accounts payable and
$5.9 million in accrued liabilities, and increases of $6.2 million in estimated
income taxes receivable included in other current assets, $9.0 million in
inventories and deferred software revenue of $1.0 million. This was offset
partially by a decrease of $39.1 million in accounts receivable, resulting from
lower sales in the current quarter relative to the fourth quarter of 2000.
Cash used in investing activities was $28.7 million due primarily to an increase
in restricted cash investments of $48.3 million; capital expenditures of $5.9
million principally on network infrastructure and capitalized costs of
purchasing and implementing the Company's ERP system; a cash payment of $0.6
million, net of cash acquired, in the Statware acquisition; and other
investments of $0.5 million. This was offset partially by net investment
maturities of $26.6 million.
Cash from financing activities was comprised of a $0.3 million borrowing on a
bank loan in Japan, offset by the repayment of a bank loan assumed by the
Company in connection with the Statware acquisition, as well as $0.9 million
from the sale of common stock under employee stock plans.
The Company's Japanese subsidiary has credit facilities with a total borrowing
capacity of approximately $3.1 million (denominated in yen) with two Japanese
banks. As of September 30, 2001, $1.7 million was outstanding under these
facilities which are used by the Company's Japanese subsidiary to finance its
working capital requirements.
In March 1997, the Company entered into a $12.0 million, five-year operating
lease for approximately 21.5 acres of land in San Jose, California. On July 1,
1998, the lease agreement was amended to provide a construction allowance. The
lease agreement was further amended and, effective June 30, 2001, required a
mandatory collateralization of $48.3 million, which was included in other assets
as restricted cash. This amendment also included an adjustment to the interest
rate and certain restrictions on the repurchase of the Company's common stock.
The monthly lease payments are based on the London Interbank Offering Rate
(LIBOR). At current interest rates, as amended, and based on the lease amount of
$48.3 million as of September 30, 2001, the annual lease payments are
approximately $2.0 million. These interest rates are sensitive to inflation and
other economic factors, and a significant increase in rates may have a negative
impact on the earnings of the Company. At September 30, 2001, the Company is in
compliance with the restrictive covenants contained in the lease agreement. At
the end of the lease, the Company has the option to purchase the land and
buildings for approximately $48.3 million. The guaranteed residual payment on
the lease on September 30, 2001 is approximately $41.1 million.
Demand for the Company's products fluctuate with the semiconductor business
cycles and is expected to continue to fluctuate from period to period. These
fluctuations could have a negative impact on the Company's operating results.
There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to be in compliance
with certain restrictive covenants related to its facilities lease. In the event
of non-compliance, the Company has the option of renegotiating the lease at
higher annual lease payments or purchasing the land and buildings for
approximately $48.3 million.
Historically, the Company has generated cash in an amount sufficient to fund its
operations. The Company anticipates that its existing capital resources and cash
flow generated from future operations will enable it to maintain its current
level of operations and its planned operations, including capital expenditures,
for the foreseeable future.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations," and No. 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2001. Under the new rules, goodwill and intangible assets
deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be amortized but will be subject
to annual impairment tests in accordance with the Statements. Other intangible
assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The Company will
apply the new rules on accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets
beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. Application of the
nonamortization provisions of the Statements is not expected to have a material
impact on net income.
During fiscal 2002, the Company will perform the first of the required
impairment tests of goodwill, indefinite lived intangible assets and long-lived
assets as of January 1, 2002 and has not yet determined what the effect of these
tests will be on the earnings and financial position of the Company.
In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2001. SFAS No. 144 addresses the financial accounting and reporting
requirements for disposal of long-lived assets and discontinued operations. SFAS
No. 144 applies to all recorded long-lived assets that are held for use or that
will be disposed of, but excludes goodwill and other intangible assets that are
not amortized. The Company is assessing the impact on the financial statements
resulting from adoption of this Standard.
Volatility of Stock Price
Any of the following factors can cause the price of the Company's common stock
to fluctuate, perhaps substantially: announcements of developments related to
the Company's business, fluctuations in the Company's operating results, sales
of substantial amounts of securities of the Company in the marketplace, general
conditions in the semiconductor industry or worldwide economy, a shortfall in
revenue or earnings from or changes in analysts' expectations, announcements of
technological innovations or new products or enhancements by the Company or its
competitors, developments in patents or other intellectual property rights, and
changes in the Company's relationships with certain customers and suppliers. In
addition, in recent years, the stock market in general, and the market for the
shares of small capitalization stocks in particular, including the Company's,
have experienced extreme price fluctuations which have often been unrelated to
the operating performance of affected companies. There can be no assurance that
the market price of the Company's common stock will not continue to experience
significant fluctuations in the future, including fluctuations that are
unrelated to the Company's performance.
