(4) Earnings Per Share

Basic EPS is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders
by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive
potential common shares outstanding during the period, using the treasury stock
method. The number of shares for which options were outstanding, and which were
not included in the determination of diluted EPS at June 30, 2002 and July 1,
2001 because they were antidilutive, were 969,300 and 898,778 respectively.

(5) Segment Reporting

Segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate
financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief
operating decision-maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing
performance. The Company operates as a single business segment called thermal
processing capital equipment.

The thermal processing capital equipment segment consists of the designing,
manufacturing, selling and servicing of thermal processing equipment and related
process controls for use in the electronics, power generation, automotive and
other industries. This business segment includes the supply of solder reflow
systems used for surface mount applications in printed circuit board assembly.
Thermal processing equipment is used in: low temperature curing/encapsulation;
hybrid integrated circuit manufacturing; integrated circuit packaging and
sealing; and processing multi-chip modules. In addition, the thermal processing
equipment is used for sintering nuclear fuel for commercial power generation, as
well as brazing and the sintering of ceramics and powdered metals, and the
deposition of precise thin film coatings. The business segment's customers are
multinational original equipment manufacturers and electronic manufacturing
service providers.

(6) Percentage Completion Revenue

The Company has certain sales transactions for projects, which are not
completed within the normal operating cycle of the business. These contracts are
accounted for on a percentage completion basis.

Under the percentage completion method, revenues are recognized based upon
the ratio of costs incurred to the total estimated costs. Revisions in costs and
profit estimates are reflected in the period in which the facts causing the
revision become known. Provisions for total estimated losses on uncompleted
contracts, if any, are made in the period in which such losses are determined.
For the six months ended June 30, 2002, $252,717 of revenue was recognized using
the percentage of completion method. For the six months ended July 1, 2001,
$2,681,000 of revenue recognized using the percentage of completion method.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Sales. Net sales decreased 33.3% from $14.0 million in the second
quarter of 2001 to $9.4 million in the second quarter of 2002. For the first six
months net sales decreased 41.6% from $30.6 million in 2001 to $17.9 million in
2002. The decrease in both the second quarter and first six months of 2002 was
primarily a result of continued decreases in the electronics market as compared
to the first half of 2001.

When comparing the second quarter of 2002 to the second quarter of 2001,
the percentage of net sales attributable to our customers in the United States
decreased by .6%, net sales attributable to our customers in Europe increased by
7.4%, net sales attributable to our Asia Pacific customers decreased by 4.7%,
and net sales attributable to our customer in the Other Americas decreased by
2.1%. Comparing the first six months of 2002 to the first six months of 2001,
the percentage of net sales attributable to our customers in the United States
decreased by .2%, net sales attributable to our customers in Europe decreased by
1.1%, net sales attributable to our Asia Pacific customers increased by 2.0%,
and net sales attributable to our customer in the Other Americas decreased by
0.7%. The effect of price changes for specific products have had a negative
impact on the change in net sales for the periods presented.

Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased 2.7% from $3.2 million in the second
quarter of 2001 to $3.1 million in the second quarter of 2002, and as a
percentage of net sales, increased from 22.8% to 33.3%. The second quarter of
2001 gross profit percentage excluding a $2.0 million inventory write-down was
37.1%.The decrease in gross profit and gross profit percentage is a direct
result of decreased demand for products in the electronics marketplace. This
decrease demand resulted in significant price pressure and under absorption of
costs, resulting in lower gross margin percentages.

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative
decreased 9.8% from $ 4.3 million in the second quarter of 2001 to $ 3.8 million
in the second quarter of 2002. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general,
and administrative increased from 30.3% in second quarter 2001 to 41.0% in the
second quarter of 2002. For the first six months of 2002, selling, general and
administrative decreased 20.6% from $9.3 million in 2001 to $7.4 million, and
increased as a percentage of net sales from 30.5% in the first six months of
2001 to 41.5% for the same period in 2002. The decreases in costs in both the
second quarter and first six months of 2002 was primarily the result of lower
commissions paid on the lower sales volume, reduction in personnel and related
overhead expenses. However, these decreases failed to offset the substantial
decrease in net sales.

Research, Development and Engineering. Research, development and
engineering decreased 34.1% from $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2001 to
$911,000 in the second quarter of 2002 and as a percentage of net sales,
decreased slightly from 9.9% to 9.7% for the same periods. For the first six
months of 2002 research, development and engineering decreased 35.6% from $2.9
million in 2001 to $1.9 million in 2002, and as a percentage of net sales
increased from 9.4% in 2001 to 10.4% in 2002. In both the second quarter and
first six months of 2002, the Company continued our support in new product
development, but at reduced levels given the current economic climate.

Operating Income. The operating loss for the second quarter of 2002 was
$1.6 million, compared to a loss of $2.4 million for the same period in 2001.
The second quarter loss in 2001 included a $2.0 million write-down of inventory.
For the first six-month period, the operating loss was $3.6 million in 2002
versus a loss of $2.3 million in 2001. This decrease is the result of the sales
decline, lower gross margins and higher operating costs as a percentage of
sales.

Income Taxes. The income tax benefit for the second quarter of 2002 was
$197,000 or 11.9%, versus a tax benefit of $921,000 or 37% for the same period
in 2001. For the first six months of 2002, the income tax benefit was $897,000
or 24.5%, which the Company believes to be the average tax benefit during the
current fiscal year, compared to a tax benefit of $875,000 or 37% for the same
period in 2001. The 24.5% tax benefit is due to the limitation of the
availability of the Company's NOL carryback. The Company is in a position of
creating NOL carryforward for which the Company is not recording any benefit at
this time. The Company's statutory federal income tax rate is 34%.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of June 30, 2002, we had $12.3 million in cash and cash equivalents.

The company negotiated a new unsecured revolving line of credit as of June
26, 2002, that allows for aggregate borrowings, including letters of credit, up
to a maximum of $14.0 million against a borrowing base of all assets except real
estate. We may elect to borrow at interest rates pegged to either the bank's
base rate or the LIBOR rate in effect from time to time. This loan agreement
extends to May 31, 2006 and is subject to certain financial covenants for which
the Company is in compliance. No borrowings were outstanding under this
agreement.

We have a mortgage note that is secured by our real property. The mortgage
note had an outstanding balance at June 30, 2002 of approximately $4.4 million.
The mortgage requires monthly payments of $53,922, which includes interest
calculated at the rate of 8.125% per annum. A final balloon payment of
approximately $3.8 million is due on July 1, 2004 upon maturity of the mortgage
note.

During the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company used cash resources
of $3.4 million. This use of cash was primarily the result of net losses of $2.8
million and an increase in accounts receivable of $3.5 million. These uses of
cash were offset by decreases in inventory of $2.3 million and other current
assets of $0.6 million.

We expect that our current cash position and our ability to borrow
necessary funds will be sufficient to meet our corporate, operating and capital
requirements into 2003.

Other matters

The impact of inflation and the effect of foreign exchange rate changes
during 2002 has had an immaterial impact on our business and financial results.
