Management’s Comments

Commenting on the financial results, Bob Reback, Cimetrix President and CEO, stated, “2010 was an outstanding year for Cimetrix. First, we benefited from the semiconductor capital equipment industry’s turnaround from the downturn of 2008-2009. In addition, the photovoltaic (PV) industry experienced strong year-over-year growth, which was a catalyst for Cimetrix making significant progress in penetrating this second target market.  Our strategy of working closely with our customers through their business cycles along with the growth in the semiconductor and PV markets enabled Cimetrix to achieve substantially improved financial performance.”

Mr. Reback added, “During the second half of 2010, we used the strong cash flow generated from our operations to increase investment in research and development for virtually all of our product lines, including CIMControlFramework™, our newest software product for advanced tool control. We believe Cimetrix is increasingly being viewed as a trusted software supplier to leading makers of precision manufacturing equipment that are participating in the robust demand for products in high growth markets for consumer electronics, communications devices and clean technology applications. To this end, we were successful in securing a number of major new customers that have begun the process of integrating Cimetrix products into new models of equipment. We will continue to invest in our software platforms and customer relationships to increase both the number of machines shipped worldwide using Cimetrix products as well as the total value we provide per machine shipment. We thank our customers, shareholders and employees for their support and look forward to continuing on our path of profitable growth.”
 
 
 
 

 
 

Recent Business Highlights:
 
·  
New Release of CIMControlFramework 3.0. Cimetrix invested heavily in research and development to complete a major new release of its CIMControlFramework software product for tool control. This flexible, extensible, tool control software enables OEMs to reduce the time and engineering effort required to develop automated equipment that meets industry standards and fulfills demanding performance requirements. With this new release, Cimetrix secured two major new customers that initiated projects in early 2011.
 
·  
Major investments in Connectivity Products. Cimetrix worked with industry standards bodies and increased R&D spending for its CIMPortal™, CIMConnect™, CIM300™, and other connectivity products to support its product leadership in the area. Not only is this investment vital to enable the continued adoption of standards such as EDA/Interface A that provides for improved data collection by integrated circuit manufacturers to improve yield and equipment utilization, but it also provides continued product leadership for Cimetrix’s Connectivity Products.
 
·  
Cimetrix Japan K.K. Officially Launched. Cimetrix created a subsidiary in Japan to enhance the Company’s presence in the country and to provide even greater customer support to an expanding base of Japanese equipment suppliers.
 
Outlook for 2011

Industry analysts expect the worldwide semiconductor capital equipment spending to be flat to up 10% in 2011. The solar-photovoltaic manufacturing industry is projected to have solid year-over-year growth, although this projection is largely predicated on government incentives. In addition, Cimetrix management believes opportunities for its products in the fast growing high-brightness LED industry will gain traction. With this backdrop, Cimetrix is expected to experience an increase in its new software license revenue from existing customers that have already integrated the Company’s software into their equipment. The Company is also engaged in a number of customer projects that should provide increased consulting and services revenues in 2011 as part of ongoing efforts to assist these customers in developing new tool models based on Cimetrix software products. While these projects will not add significant software revenues during 2011, management believes that they will provide solid increases in software revenues in 2012 and beyond. With a strong balance sheet, the Company plans to continue with new product development initiatives that support the precision equipment OEMs while maintaining profitability in 2011.
