NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated 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 condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2003, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2004.

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.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

INVENTORIES

The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of its inventories by evaluating material usage and requirements to determine obsolescence and excess quantities and reduces the value when appropriate.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market (estimated net realizable value) using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The Company may record charges to write down inventory due to excess, obsolete and slow moving inventory and lower of cost or market based on an analysis of the impact of changes in technology on the Company’s products (including engineering design changes), the timing of these changes and estimates of future sales volumes. These projections of changes in technology and forecasts of future sales are estimates. If there is weak demand in the semiconductor equipment markets and orders fall below forecasts, additional write downs of inventories may be required which may negatively impact gross margins in future periods. The following is a summary of inventories by major category:

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION AND EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLANS

The Company uses the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employee” (APB 25), to account for stock options issued to its

-6-

employees under its stock option plans, if any, over the vesting period of the options. Compensation expense resulting from the issuance of fixed term stock option awards is measured as the difference between the exercise price of the option and the fair market value of the underlying share of company stock subject to the option on the award’s grant date. The Company has elected to make pro forma fair value disclosures as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (SFAS 123). The Company estimates the fair value of its options using the Black-Scholes option value model, which is one of several methods that can be used to estimate option values. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. The Company’s options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates. The fair value of options granted and employee purchase plan shares were estimated at the date of grant with the following weighted average assumptions:

No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 as all options granted, during the relevant periods, under these plans had an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Stock-based compensation cost for options granted to the Company’s Industry/Technology Advisory Board of $0.1 million is reflected in the net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2004. For pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the employee options is amortized ratably over the vesting period, from eighteen months to four years, and the estimated fair value of the stock purchases under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan is amortized ratably over the six-month purchase period.

The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and net loss per share if the Company had accounted for its stock option plans under the fair value method of accounting under Statement 123, as amended by Statement 148:

On July 16, 2003, the Company filed a Schedule TO with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with its Option Exchange Program pursuant to which eligible employees had the opportunity to make a one-time election to cancel certain outstanding grants of stock options under the Electroglas,

-7-

Inc. 1993 Long-Term Incentive Plan, the Electroglas, Inc. 1997 Stock Incentive Plan and the Electroglas, Inc. 2001 Non-Officer Employee Stock Incentive Plan and exchange them for a lesser number of new options at a new exercise price and with a new vesting schedule. The Company initiated this program to increase the motivational and retention value of its stock option programs and to decrease the potentially dilutive effect of the large number of options held by employees that had exercise prices substantially above the current market price of the Company’s common stock. During the third quarter of 2003, 727,475 shares were surrendered and cancelled pursuant to the Option Exchange Program. On February 17, 2004, 263,840 shares were granted under the Option Exchange Program at a price of $5.78, the closing market price of that day, with a vesting period of eighteen months and an option life of three years.

NET LOSS PER SHARE

Basic and diluted net loss per share amounts were computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods.

The following shares were excluded from the net loss per share calculations because the Company was in a net loss position and the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTES AND WARRANTS

In June 2002, the Company completed a $35.5 million private placement of 5.25% fixed rate convertible subordinated notes due 2007 and warrants to purchase 714,573 shares of common stock. The net proceeds from this placement were $32.5 million. Interest on the notes is payable each year on the fifteenth of June and December. Annual interest payments are $1.9 million, and will result in a charge to interest expense until the end of the term of the notes. The convertible notes initially enabled the holders to convert principal amounts owed under the notes into an aggregate of 2,598,448 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $13.662 per share. The notes contain a beneficial conversion feature, which was triggered on February 21, 2003. As a result, the conversion price was lowered to $10.2465 per share and an additional 866,150 common shares will be issuable upon conversion of the notes. This adjustment to the conversion price resulted in a $1.0 million non-cash interest charge to the Company’s operating results for the first quarter of 2003.

In connection with the issuance of the convertible notes, the Company also issued warrants for the purchase of 714,573 shares of common stock that are exercisable at a price of $15.444 per share. The original value of the warrants was determined to be $2.6 million using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, with a volatility factor of 62%, a risk-free interest rate of 4%, and an expected term of 5 years with a fair value of the underlying common stock of $10.00. In accordance with the provisions of EITF 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” and based on the registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the issuance of the notes and warrants, the value of the warrants were classified as a liability. The original value of the warrants is being accreted to interest expense over the term of the notes using the effective interest rate method. Upon registration of the notes, warrants and underlying shares of common stock on September 16, 2002, the warrants were revalued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and were reclassified as equity. The revaluation of the warrants was determined to be $0.3 million using

-9-

the Black-Scholes option pricing model, a volatility factor of 62%, a risk-free interest rate of 4% and an expected term of 5 years with a fair value of the underlying common stock of $3.02. This revaluation during the third quarter of 2002 resulted in a gain of $2.3 million. If the price of the Company’s common stock exceeds the conversion price of the notes and the exercise price of the warrants, holders of the notes and warrants may convert the debt and exercise the warrants. The Company may force the conversion of all or a portion of the notes and warrants in certain circumstances.

WARRANTY RESERVES AND GUARANTEES

The Company’s warranty liability is included in accrued liabilities and changes during the reporting periods are as follows:

The Company recorded a $0.9 million reduction to its warranty reserve in the first quarter of 2004 related to product lines sold in 2003, which is included in cost of sales. In the second quarter of 2004, the Company recorded additional charges on existing warranties of $0.8 million for specific warranty programs and upgrades to early shipments of newer products.

The Company’s software license agreements generally include certain provisions for indemnifying customers against liabilities if its software products infringe a third party’s intellectual property rights. Further, the Company also provides guarantee instruments to certain third parties as required for certain transactions. The scope of such indemnity varies but may in some instances include indemnification for damages and expenses, including attorneys’ fees. The Company may from time to time be engaged in litigation as a result of such indemnification obligations. The Company has not incurred significant costs relating to the indemnification.

RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

U.S. workforce reduction: In January 2002, the Company announced a restructuring plan to reduce its U.S. workforce. As of December 31, 2002, there were 32 employees designated for termination. During the first quarter of 2003, three employees were designated for termination and 21 were terminated under the 2002 plan. During the second quarter of 2003, an additional 93 employees were designated for termination and 83 were terminated. In subsequent quarters of 2003, an additional 31 employees were designated for termination and 54 were terminated. During the first quarter of 2004, one employee was terminated.

International office closures: During September and October of 2002, the Company announced plans to close its sales office in Japan and other offices in Europe and Asia. In 2003, nine employees designated to be terminated in 2002 were removed from the termination list, primarily due to the sales of certain product lines. Further, the Company recorded an additional restructuring charge in the first six months of 2003 for additional office closures.

The details of the restructuring charges, which we anticipate will be substantially paid in 2004, are as follows for the periods presented:

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The Company recorded a tax provision of $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, primarily related to foreign income and withholding taxes. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company recorded a net tax benefit in the amount of $0.7 million. The $0.7 million benefit represented the estimated state and foreign tax provisions and a reversal of previously recorded foreign income tax accruals for years up to and including 2001. The foreign income tax accrual reversals related specifically to revised estimates of tax exposure in foreign jurisdictions based on current discussions with various

-11-

taxing authorities and consultants. The Company continues to record a full valuation allowance on domestic tax benefits until it can sustain an appropriate level of profitability. Until such time, the Company would not expect to recognize any significant tax benefits in its results of operations.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Cascade Microtech, Inc.: For the six months ended June 30, 2003, there were inventory purchases from Cascade of $0.1 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company sold prober and software products to Cascade of $0.3 million. The Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is a director of Cascade, and the Company holds less than a 10% equity investment in Cascade.

National Semiconductor: The Company sold prober and software products to National Semiconductor of $4.3 million and $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. As of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, there were $2.0 million and $2.6 million in accounts receivable with National Semiconductor, respectively. One of the Company’s Directors is a director of National Semiconductor.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

As of June 30, 2004, outstanding purchase commitments were $6.9 million. Approximately $6.6 million were inventory purchase commitments and $0.3 million were other purchase order commitments. Of these outstanding purchase commitments, $3.9 million were non-cancelable.

We are not currently involved in any legal actions that we believe are material. From time to time, however, we may be subject to various claims and lawsuits by customers, suppliers, competitors, and employees arising in the normal course of business, including suits charging infringement or violations of antitrust laws. Such suits may seek substantial damages and in certain instances, any damages awarded could be trebled.

Some customers using certain of our products have received letters from Technivison Corporation and the Lemelson Medical Education & Research Foundation, or Lemelson, alleging that the manufacture of semiconductor products infringes certain patents currently held by Lemelson. We believe that our products do not infringe the Lemelson patents and to the best of our knowledge, Lemelson has not asserted that we may be liable for infringing its patents. However, we have received notice from some of the customers receiving letters from Lemelson that, in the event it is determined that the customers’ actions infringe the Lemelson patents, the customers may seek reimbursement from us for some damages or expenses resulting from the infringement. We have in turn notified our suppliers that we may seek reimbursement from them for any resultant costs and fees we incur as a consequence of our customers being held liable for infringement of the Lemelson patents. In addition, some of our suppliers were notified that their equipment may infringe certain Lemelson patents. These suppliers are currently engaged in litigation with Lemelson as regards fourteen of Lemelson’s patents. In January 2004, the trial court held that the patent claims at issue were invalid, unenforceable and not infringed by the suppliers. Lemelson has announced that it will appeal this decision. We cannot predict the outcome of this or similar litigation or the effect of such litigation on our business.

Tax matters: 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. The Company is conducting discussions with its former parent to explore the possibility of settling this obligation for a lesser amount, however, there can be no assurance these discussions will result in a settlement.

-12-

SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On July 16, 2004, the Company established a revolving line of credit agreement with Comerica Bank under which the Company may borrow up to $7.5 million based upon eligible accounts receivable balances. This line of credit is secured by certain of the Company’s assets and requires that the Company maintain certain financial covenants.

OVERVIEW

We are a supplier of semiconductor manufacturing equipment and software to the global semiconductor industry. We were formed on April 1, 1993, to succeed the wafer prober business conducted by the Electroglas division of General Signal Corporation, our former parent. Immediately prior to the closing of the initial public offering of our Common Stock, or IPO, on July 1, 1993, we assumed the assets and liabilities of the Electroglas division in an asset transfer. Following our IPO, we commenced operations as an independent corporation. We, through our predecessors, have been in the semiconductor equipment business for more than 40 years.

Our primary product line is automated wafer probing equipment and related network software to manage information from that equipment. In conjunction with automated test systems from other suppliers, our semiconductor manufacturing customers use our wafer probers and network software to test semi-conductor wafers for quality and to improve their productivity and control their processes, optimizing manufacturing efficiency. Our installed base is one of the largest in the industry, having sold over 15,000 wafer probers.

In January 2001, we acquired Statware Inc., of Corvallis, Oregon, to further expand our network software product offerings in the test management area. Today, the Statware technology is the basis for our web-based applications that allow our customers to monitor and control their wafer probers from any location, as well as collect, analyze, and report critical test process information and automatically direct corrective actions as needed.

We are also involved in the development, manufacture, marketing, and servicing of test handlers as part of our strategy to be a comprehensive semiconductor test solutions provider. Built upon our proven prober technology, the test handlers expand available markets by providing solutions to the final test segment for today’s latest packaging technologies and test processes. This includes Wafer Level Packages (WLP), Known-Good Die (KGD), Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS), and ultra-thin and/or diced wafers. It also includes any package tested strip format, whether panel or leadframe such as Chip Scale Packages (CSP), Ball Grid Arrays (BGA), and traditional Small Outline Integrated Circuits (SOIC).

In 2003, we set our focus on our core competency in wafer probing, delivering advanced wafer probers and extending our wafer probing technologies to drive equipment and process efficiencies throughout the back-end of the semiconductor manufacturing process. As a result, we sold our Design for Manufacturing and Fab Solutions software product lines in July 2003 and our Optical Inspection product line in October 2003.

Our customers include both chip manufacturers and contract test companies. The demand for our products follows the semiconductor test markets, which have recently started showing signs of growth, yet remain highly cyclical and difficult to forecast. To stay competitive, grow our business over the long term, improve our gross margins, and generate operating cash flows, we must continue to invest in new technologies and product enhancements and at the same, as necessary, rapidly adjust up or down our expense structure during these hard to predict cyclical semiconductor equipment demand cycles.

In view of the recent prolonged downturn in the semiconductor industry and the resulting market pressures, together with recent indications of a market recovery, we are focusing our major efforts in the following areas:

Additional information about Electroglas is available on our web site at www.electroglas.com. Electroglas makes available free of charge on our website our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, our Current Reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those Reports as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file them with or furnish them to the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Information contained on our web site is not part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or our Annual Report on Form 10-K, or our other filings with the SEC.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The components of our statements of operations, expressed as a percentage of net sales, are as follows:

Net Sales

Net sales for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004 were $17.7 and $33.8 million, respectively, a 71.8% and 70.7% increase from net sales of $10.3 and $19.8 million in the comparable periods last year, primarily due to higher system unit sales of wafer probers as customers are beginning to resume their capital spending in response to recent indications of a market recovery. The demand for our products follows the semiconductor test markets, which remain highly cyclical and difficult to forecast. As a result of the uncertainties in this market environment, any rescheduling or cancellation of planned capital purchases by our customers will cause our sales to fluctuate on a quarterly basis.

-14-

Net sales for the current year are comprised of prober systems, software, and aftermarket parts and services. Service revenue has traditionally been less than 10% of our net sales. Net sales of our products for the periods presented are as follows:
