PART 1
ITEM 1 BUSINESS
Radiant Technology Corporation (RTC) was incorporated in California in
1972. The initial public offering (IPO) was in 1979. The Company is engaged in
the marketing, design, manufacture and service of highly precision thermal
processing systems that are primarily used by manufacturers of microelectronic
componentry. The Company's conveyorized ovens and furnaces are in worldwide
demand to meet ever-changing process requirements in the semiconductor
packaging, photovoltaic (solar cell), flat panel display, hybrid thick film
firing, multichip module, and printed circuit board assembly industries.
To obtain financial growth and stability we concentrate on managing the
following key elements of its business:
Technological Leadership: We are constantly in contact with our customers
soliciting their input for both continued product improvement and new product
development. We encourage customers anticipating new thermal processing
requirements to contact us regarding their new opportunities and needs.
Customer Diversity: Customers from different facets of the electronics and
photovoltaic industries are sought and maintained. As demand for the various
manufacturing elements in the electronics high technology industry shifts, RTC
works to position itself to be ready to be immediately responsive to changing
market emphasis.
Service: We concentrate on providing timeliness, high quality, and
responsiveness to our customer base. Most service concerns are handled by Phone,
FAX or E-mail immediately. Customer Service Engineers, when needed, are
dispatched within the day. Internationally, we retain Sales/Service
representatives, factory trained, to provide the same level of dedication in
placing the concerns and needs of the customer first. Modems are installed in
customer's equipment, making it possible to analyze and implement customer
requests online from Company headquarters.
MARKETS AND PRODUCTS:
The nature and high intensity of the infrared heat produced in our furnaces
permits a high rate of heat absorption by the electronic parts processed through
the furnaces, making them more adaptable to the exacting tolerances and
high-speed heating requirements of certain industrial users. Infrared heating
affords many advantages, including the furnace's ability to achieve operating
temperatures in a shorter time span, operate at a faster conveyor belt speed,
require less floor space, and use less electric energy, all of which result in
significantly lower operating costs than for conventional ovens and furnaces.
2
Our near infrared processing systems are principally in demand for the
following applications:
Photovoltaics: RTC furnaces serve the photovoltaic industry in both contact
firing and diffusion processes. For well over a decade, RTC has been the major
supplier of sintering furnaces used by photocell manufacturers for firing
metallized inks to form the front-side contacts and the back-side fields on the
individual solar cells. The product ideally suited for sintering of the
metallized inks is our C-series furnace. In recent years, RTC customers have
been using a special version of our furnaces for phosphorus diffusion. An
extremely precise thermal process is required for phosphorus diffusion as this
step ultimately determines the cell's photovoltaic efficiency in generating
power when exposed to sunlight.
Semiconductor Packaging: In recent years, flip chip packaging technology has
gained widespread acceptance. The first process, called wafer bumping, involves
a reflow solder process to form the solder balls on all of the input/output
(I/O) pads on the wafer. Because of the extremely small geometries involved, in
some instances this process is best accomplished in a hydrogen atmosphere. For
this application, RTC offers a high temperature furnace which provides a re-flow
process in a 100% hydrogen atmosphere. For a second process, called "chip
joining", RTC offers both a near infrared or forced convection oven. RTC's
D-series ovens are well suited for low temperature curing applications such as
"under-fill" epoxy or curing epoxy glob tops for chip on board manufacturers.
For more traditional chip packaging technologies, RTC offers an AG-series
furnace designed specifically for the silver-glass die-attach process. A
critical thermal profile is required to achieve the proper mechanical and
thermal properties of the silver-glass material. Other packaging thermal
processes such as final lid sealing (metal or glass) and lead frame embed or pin
brazing are easily accomplished in RTC's furnaces.
Flat Panel Display: While the flat panel display market has been based primarily
in Japan, it is a relatively new market for US equipment manufacturers. RTC has
developed, in close cooperation with a flat panel manufacturer, one of the first
US built systems for processing large glass panels. This RTC furnace can handle
glass panels up to 58 inches wide. In addition to the challenges of achieving
uniform heating over the entire panel width, RTC's furnace can meet the
mechanical challenges of handling large glass panels while loading and unloading
the furnace.
Hybrid Thick Film: Hybrid thick film technology involves the firing of various
types of "inks" screen printed on ceramic substrates to form conductors and
resistors. Precise thermal profiles are required to achieve desired resistor
values and electrical properties of hybrid conductors. RTC offers furnaces for
firing thick film inks in air, and for firing thick film materials in a
controlled, inert atmosphere with low oxygen content.
Printed Circuit Board: RTC offers both infrared and forced convection heating
technologies for printed circuit board assemblies. These ovens are used for
high-volume reflow soldering of surface mount components to a printed circuit
assembly.
All RTC systems use on-board computers to provide appropriate man/machine
interface with embedded microprocessors, achieving precise control of thermal
operations. RTC's furnace computers provide power, temperature, belt speed,
process gas measurement, profiling, maintenance requirements, data logging,
local and remote communications diagnostics and operation, and computer
integrated manufacturing.

MARKETING, SALES AND CUSTOMERS
Our products are sold throughout the world, primarily to organizations
engaged in the microelectronics or photovoltaic manufacturing. RTC maintains
direct sales offices in the United States. Internationally the Company is
represented through independent sales/service organizations. Note 1 to the
Financial Statements depicts a breakdown of international sales.
Customers tend to evaluate furnace vendors for technological leadership
that results in high process yields for material produced. This primary benefit
combined with high RTC up time, low meantime between failure (MTBF), quick
reliable service and spare parts response combine to produce low cost of
equipment ownership for our customers.
Two customers, AMD and IBM accounted for 31% and 11%, respectively, of
RTC's revenue in fiscal year 2001. In 2000, they were: AMD 17% and Astropower
15%. In 1999, 18% of revenue came from AMD.
The Company does not experience a seasonal demand for its product. Rather
the demand for RTC furnaces tends to follow the demand for new manufacturing
equipment in the economy.
BACKLOG
We regard as backlog all signed purchase orders received from customers for
delivery at specified dates. At September 30, 2001, the backlog was $808,484 vs.
$3,203,427 in 2000, and $595,401 in 1999. This backlog of orders will be
completed over a three to five month period. There can be no assurance that
backlog will be replicated or increased or translated into higher revenues in
the future. The success of our business depends on a multitude of factors that
are beyond of our control.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and Development expenses are charged to specific product
enhancement activities and new product development. Research and Development
expenses were $260,330, $230,599, and $282,766 in fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999,
respectively, which represents primarily the development for new products, which
we hope will provide significant value to future years income. It is more ideal,
theoretically, to have new products developed over a longer period of time.
However, the opportunities of the market place dictate concentration on
increased product development at this time. New products include equipment for
the 300mm wafer fabrication, the photovoltaic industry, research laboratories
and 1300(Degree)C processing temperatures.
COMPETITION
We confront competition from two primary domestic companies: BTU
International, and Sierra-Therm. There are numerous other competitors both
domestically and internationally.
We believe that we are one of the principal manufacturers of conveyorized,
controlled atmosphere, variable speed, high temperature infrared furnaces used
in the manufacture of precision, microelectronic circuitry for the
semiconductor, solar cell, hybrid micro circuits and general microelectronic
industries. The competitive environment in the market for ovens and furnaces is
based on superior technology, design and delivery and ultimate cost of ownership
beyond initial purchase price. The Company believes that its higher temperature
near infrared products are more technologically advanced than that of the
conventional products of its competitors. The Company has patents issued and
pending covering the basic technology involved in the principal markets. See
"Patents" below.
4
MATERIAL
We purchase raw materials, mechanical parts and electronic components. The
Company manufactures most of its sheet metal and some mechanical and electronic
components. Alternative sources of material exist for nearly all parts,
components and materials. We have selected a single source supplier for much of
our electronic componentry, due to high levels of quality and service. Should
this favorable condition degenerate, an alternative supplier can be found but
not without extra initial expenditures.
PATENTS
We own a number of current patents on its products issued from 1983 to
1997. RTC also has patents pending. The Company's patents are the result of its
creative energies and innovative technology. RTC believes that it must
continually work to maintain technological leadership for its customer base. We
further believe that patents may provide creative and competitive hurdles to
competition. However, it is primarily our attention to customer service with
high quality products, produced in a timely manner, ultimately providing the
customer with low cost of ownership that provide us our greatest competitive
strength.
TRADEMARKS
We have registered trademark No. 1425668, "RTC radiant technology
corporation", with the United Stated patent and Trademark Office on January 20,
1987 and trademark No. 1556707, "MEZZANINE", with the United States Patent and
Trademark Office on September 19, 1989. Both trademarks are in force for twenty
years.
EMPLOYEES
We employed 42 full-time individuals as of November 30, 2001.
WARRANTY
We warrant our ovens and furnaces against defects existing at the time of
shipment for material and workmanship under normal use and service for a period
of one year on parts and labor after shipment to an original user. Under this
warranty, the Company will provide, F.O.B. Anaheim, repair or replacement, at
its own cost, any heating elements, SCR control packages, printed circuit
boards, components, and conveyor speed controls (including digital readouts)
which, within the warranty period, are proved to the satisfaction of the Company
to have been defective.
GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS

GENERAL
We pioneered the design and application of near infrared high temperature
furnaces with the semiconductor manufacturing and electronics assembly markets.
RTC products are now principally used by manufacturers of semiconductor
packaging, solar cells, flat panel displays, printed circuit boards, hybrid
thick film and multichip modules. New and inventive uses of the product line for
other applications continue to be discovered.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues were $5.1 million, $4.7 million and $3.3 million in fiscal years
2001, 2000 and 1999 respectively, representing an increase of 7% from 2000 to
2001 and an increase of 42% from 1999 to 2000. The increase in fiscal year 2001
was primarily attributable to increased volume shipments as a result of
increased sales orders from photovoltaic (solar cell) customers. The increase in
fiscal year 2000 was primarily attributable to increased shipments as a result
of increased sales orders.
Cost of sales consists of costs related to the purchase of raw materials,
assembled and subcontracted parts, services provided by third party suppliers,
as well as costs arising from in house manufacturing support operations and the
costs to run it. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues was 75.4%, 65.4% and
68.5% for fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999 respectively. The increase in
material, direct labor, temporary labor, and freight from 2000 to 2001 was
attributable to inefficiencies caused by responding quickly to an 87% increase
in sales in the first two quarters of the fiscal year compared to the prior
year. RTC continues to use the latest technology available in an effort to
reduce both cost of revenues (and the maintenance of optimal inventory levels)
and operating expenses, and ultimately an increase overall company profits.
Research and development expense expressed as a percentage of revenues was
7.2% , 8.7% and 8.5% in fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999 respectively. These
reflect costs related to the design of new products, new product development and
product enhancements for existing standard products. These costs are essential
to the Company's long term future, a future that can change very quickly in the
high technology field.
Selling, general and administrative expenses represented 23.8%, 20.2% and
38.7% of total revenues in fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999 respectively. The
increase in 2001 was attributed to increased marketing, administrative, computer
support staff, and outside consultants to prepare the Company's infrastructure
to support future sales growth.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our consolidated cash decreased from $1,528,383 at September 30, 2000 to
$1,118,630 at September 30, 2001. The decrease of $409,753 is attributable to
the payment of a $500,000 note payable. Net cash provided by operating
activities of $202,613 compared to cash from operating activities of $171,039 in
the prior year. Management believes that the expected revenues from operations
of RTC will be sufficient to provide adequate cash to fund anticipated working
capital and other cash needs. There may be occasional periods when short-term
borrowing will be utilized, although little of this type of activity is
foreseen.

1 Summary of significant accounting policies
- -----------------------------------------------
Nature of Operations
--------------------
Radiant Technology Corporation (the "Company") is engaged in the
manufacturing and marketing of infrared conveyorized ovens and furnaces
used primarily by the microelectronics manufacturing industry.
All of the Company's operations are located in California. Sales to
entities located outside the United States are as follows:
Countries 2001 2000 1999
--------- ---- ---- ----
European $1,047,596 $ 966,723 $ 640,511
Asia 549,073 316,235 178,170
Other international 377,243 126,666 482,161
$1,973,912 $1,409,624 $1,300,842
Revenue Recognition
-------------------
The Company recognizes revenue from product sales upon shipment or upon
completion when the customer requests the unit to be held at the facility
for later shipment.
Cash and Cash equivalents
-------------------------
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include time
deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments
with original maturities of three months or less.
Accounts Receivable
-------------------
The allowance for doubtful accounts includes management's estimate of the
amount expected to be lost on specific accounts and for losses on other
unidentified accounts included in accounts receivable. In estimating the
allowance component for unidentified losses, management relies on
historical experience. The amounts the Company will ultimately realize
could differ materially in the near term from the amounts assumed in
arriving at the allowance for doubtful accounts in the accompanying
financial statements.
Inventories
-----------
Inventories include material, direct labor and manufacturing overhead and
are reported at the lower of cost (determined on the first-in-first-out
method) or market. Allowances for slow moving and obsolete inventory are
based on management's estimate of the amount considered obsolete based on
specific review of inventory items. In estimating the allowance, management
relies on its knowledge of the industry as well as its current inventory
levels.

RADIANT TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION
Notes to financial statements
1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
- -----------------------------------------------------------
Equipment
---------
Equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is
calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives
of the related assets or over the lesser of the term of the lease or the
estimated useful life for leasehold improvements.
Intangibles
-----------
The cost of patents are being amortized using the straight line method over
their estimated lives of five years. Amortization expense charged to
operations in 2001, 2000 and 1999 was $11,939, $8,712, and $8,716,
respectively.
Research and Development
------------------------
Research and development is expensed as incurred. Research and development
expenses were $260,330, $230,599, and $282,766 in fiscal 2001, 2000, and
1999, respectively.
Software development costs
--------------------------
The Company capitalizes internal software development costs in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86. The capitalization
of these costs begins when a product's technological feasibility has been
established and ends when the product is available for general release to
customers. The Company uses the working model approach to establish
technological feasibility. Amortization is computed on an individual
product group on the straight-line method over the estimated economic life
of the product. Currently, the Company is using an estimated economic life
of three years for all capitalized software costs. Amortization expense was
$31,001, $77,213, and $106,550 for 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively.
Customer deposits
-----------------
The Company often requires a deposit from customers before commencing work
on a furnace. It is the Company's policy to record the deposit as a
receivable with a corresponding deferred liability at the time the sales
order is written. When the deposit is received, the receivable is relieved.
Income taxes
------------
Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future
years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and
their financial reporting amounts at each year-end based on enacted tax
laws and statutory rates applicable to the periods in which the differences
are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are
established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount
expected to be realized. The provision for income taxes represents the tax
payable for the period and the change during the period in deferred tax
assets and liabilities.

RADIANT TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION
Notes to financial statements
1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
- -----------------------------------------------------------
Earnings per common share
-------------------------
Earnings per common share is computed by dividing reported earnings by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the respective
periods. Common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of
earnings per share in 2001 and 1999 because the effect of including such
equivalents in the computation would have been anti-dilutive.
Fair value of financial instruments
-----------------------------------
The fair value of financial instruments, consisting principally of
short-term debt payable is based on interest rates available to the Company
and comparison to quoted prices. The fair value of these financial
instruments approximates carrying value.
Stock based compensation
------------------------
The Company accounts for compensation costs related to employee stock
options and other forms of employee stock-based compensation plans in
accordance with the requirements of Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25
("APB 25"). The Company adopted the provisions of pro forma disclosure
requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123, Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation in fiscal 1997. Options granted to
non-employees are recognized at their estimated fair value at the date of
grant.
Use of estimates
----------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.
Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
-----------------
Certain items in the 2000 and 1999 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform with the 2001 presentation.
2. Concentration of credit risk and significant customers
- -----------------------------------------------------------
The Company, from time to time, has cash deposits at financial institutions
in amounts in excess of federally-insured limits. The Company believes that
credit risk related to its cash deposits is limited due to the quality of
the financial institutions.
The Company's customers are located in several geographic markets,
primarily in the United States, Middle East, Europe and Pacific Rim
countries and are concentrated within three industries. To minimize the
risk of loss, the Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its
customers, and may require a substantial downpayment prior to commencing
machine production.

- -------------------------
The Company, like others in similar businesses, is subject to federal,
state and local environmental laws and regulations. Although Company
environmental policies and practices are designed to ensure compliance with
these laws and regulations, future developments and increasingly stringent
regulation could require the Company to make unforeseen environmental
expenditures.

9. Stockholders' equity
- ------------------------
Preferred stock
----------------
At September 30, 2001 and 2000 there were 5,000,000 authorized shares of
preferred stock, of which no shares were issued and outstanding.
Common stock
------------
The Company has authorized 24,000,000 shares of no par value common stock.
At September 30, 2001 and 2000, 2,081,678 and 1,906,678 shares were issued
and outstanding, respectively.
Employee stock options
----------------------
Incentive and non-statutory option plan
---------------------------------------
The Company adopted an incentive and non-statutory stock option plan which
provides for granting options to key employees and officers. Under the
plan, options up to 1,000,000 shares may be granted at a price not less
than the fair market value of such shares on the date of the grant, and the
maximum term of each option may not exceed ten years. With respect to any
participant who owns stock possessing more than 10% of the voting rights of
the Company's outstanding capital stock, the exercise price of any stock
option must not be less than 110% of the fair market value on the date of
the grant and the maximum term may not exceed five years. On January 22,
1998, April 15, 1999, and January 2, 2001 the Board authorized options to
purchase 70,000, 100,000, and 55,000 shares, respectively. These shares
were granted at an exercise price that was at or above the market price on
the date of the grant. The options vest on January 5, 2000, January 2,
2002, and January 2, 2003 and expire three years from the vesting date. As
of September 30, 2001 314,666 of these options remained outstanding.
Non-statutory director options
------------------------------
On September 30, 1996, the Company granted 20,000 non-statutory options to
each of three outside board members. The options vested immediately and
expire 50% at September 30, 2000 and 50% at September 30, 2001. The option
price is $.48 per share, which was equal to the market price at the date of
the grant. At September 30, 2001, none of these options remain outstanding.
Lawrence McNamee
----------------
Mr. McNamee held options to acquire 346,666 shares at $.075 per share
issued to him in lieu of salary in 1992; 175,000 of these options were
exercised in 2001, resulting in options for 171,666 shares outstanding at
September 30, 2001. These options have no expiration date.

Had compensation cost for the plan been determined based on the fair value
of the options at the grant dates consistent with the method of SFAS 123,
the Company's net income/(loss) and earnings/(loss) per share would have
been:

Net income/(loss):
As reported $ (157,210) $ 287,729 $ (475,820)

Diluted earnings per share:
As reported $ (0.8) $ 0.13 $ (0.25)
Pro forma $ (0.8) $ 0.13 $ (0.27)
These pro forma amounts may not be representative of future disclosures
because they do not take into effect pro forma compensation expense related
to grants made before 1996. In addition, potential deferred tax benefits of
approximately $12,500, $12,500, and $15,000 in 2001, 2000 and 1999
respectively, have not been reflected in the pro forma amounts due to the
uncertainty of realizing any benefit. The fair value of these options was
estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model
with the following weighted average assumptions for 2001, 2000 and 1999:
Expected life (years) 4
Risk-free interest rate 6.00%
Volatility 100%
Expected dividends None
The weighted fair value of options granted during the years ended September
30, 2001 and 2000 for which the exercise price approximated the market
price on the grant date was $.41 and $.21, respectively.
