VEECO INSTRUMENTS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1--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 the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation (consisting of normal recurring accruals) have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 1997, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1997. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.
Earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.
NOTE 2--ACQUISITIONS
On April 10, 1997, Veeco Instruments Inc. ("Veeco" or the "Company") acquired certain assets and personnel of the Media and Magnetics Applications Division of Materials Research Corporation for cash plus the assumption of certain liabilities. The acquisition is accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, a portion of the purchase price is allocated to the net assets acquired based on their estimated fair values as determined by an outside appraisal, including $4.2 million allocated to in-process engineering and development projects. These projects have not reached technological feasibility and have no alternative future uses and thus have been expensed as of the date of acquisition.
On July 25, 1997, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Veeco Acquisition Corp., merged into Wyko Corporation ("Wyko") of Tucson, Arizona, a leading supplier of optical interferometric measurement systems for the data storage and semiconductor industries. Under the merger, Wyko shareholders received 2,863,810 shares of Veeco common stock and holders of options to acquire Wyko common stock received options to acquire an aggregate of 136,190 shares of Veeco common stock. The merger is accounted for as a pooling of interests transaction and, accordingly, historical data in future reports will be restated to include Wyko data. The following unaudited pro forma data summarizes the combined results of operations of the Company and Wyko as though the merger had occurred at the beginning of fiscal year 1994.

NOTE 5--OTHER INFORMATION
Interest paid for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 was insignificant. The Company made income tax payments of $1.4 million and $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
NOTE 6--NEW ACCOUNTING PROUNCEMENT
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share", which is effective for both interim and annual financial statements for periods ending after December 15, 1997. At that time, the Company will be required to change the method currently used to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior periods. Under the new requirements for calculating primary earnings per share, the dilutive effect of stock options will be excluded. The impact of adopting SFAS No. 128 on the calculation of primary and fully diluted earnings per share is not expected to be material.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended June 30, 1997 and 1996
Net sales for 1997 increased by approximately $8.8 million or 35% over the comparable 1996 period. The increase principally reflects continuing growth in ion beam system sales. Sales in the U.S. increased approximately 52% while international sales included an approximately 86% increase in Japan, a 36% increase in Europe, and a 24% decrease in Asia-Pacific. The Company believes that there will continue to be quarter to quarter variations in the geographic concentration of sales.
Sales of process equipment (ion beam/PVD systems) of approximately $22.8 million increased by approximately $8.5 million or 59% over the comparable period in 1996, driven principally by increased demand from the data storage industry for high-density hard drives. Of this increase, approximately 10% was due to growth in volume,with the balance of the increase due to an approximately 65% higher average selling price of a system resulting from a shift in customer demand to multi-process modules with increased automation. Sales of process metrology products for 1997 of approximately $5.9 million increased by approximately $.4 million or 7% over the comparable 1996 period principally due to growth in volume. Sales of industrial measurement products for 1997 of approximately $5.2 million was equivalent to the comparable period in 1996.
Veeco booked approximately $39.7 million of orders in 1997 compared to approximately $25.1 million of orders in 1996, reflecting both the increased demand for high density hard drives and the continued industry transition to the next generation MR thin film magnetic heads.
Gross profit for 1997 of approximately $15.1 million increased by approximately $3.9 million over the comparable 1996 period. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales of 44.5% in 1997 was comparable to the 44.3% achieved in 1996.
Research and development expense in 1997 increased by approximately $1.0 million or 38.0% compared to 1996 as the Company increased its R&D investment in each product line with particular emphasis in process equipment.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for 1997 increased by approximately $1.5 million compared to 1996. The increase was primarily due to approximately $1.0 million of additional selling expense comprised of sales commissions related to the higher sales volume, as well as increased compensation and travel expense as a result of the hiring of additional sales and service personnel to support the Company's continuing growth.
In connection with acquisition of certain assets of the Media and Magnetic Applications business of Materials Research Corporation in April 1997, the Company expensed $4.2 million representing the estimated fair values of in-process engineering and development projects that had not reached technological feasibility and had no future alternative uses.
Operating income for 1997 decreased to approximately $.6 million compared to approximately $3.3 million for 1996, principally due to the Company expensing $4.2 million in 1997 of in-process engineering and development projects.
Income taxes amounted to approximately $.3 million or 38.7% of income before income taxes for 1997 as compared to $1.3 million or 38.3% of income before income taxes for the same period in 1996.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 and 1996
Net sales for 1997 increased by approximately $17.7 million or 39% over the comparable 1996 period. The increase principally reflects continuing growth in ion beam system sales. Sales in the U.S. increased approximately 52% while international sales included an approximately 5% decrease in Japan, a 62% increase in Asia-Pacific and flat sales in Europe. The Company believes that there will continue to be quarter to quarter variations in the geographic concentration of sales.
Sales of process equipment (ion beam/PVD systems) for 1997 of approximately $40.7 million increased by approximately $16.7 million or 70% over the comparable period in 1996, driven principally by increased demand from the data storage industry for high-density hard drives. Of this increase, approximately 37% was due to growth in volume, with the balance of the increase due to an approximately 55% higher average selling price of a system resulting from a shift in customer demand to multi-process modules with increased automation. Sales of process metrology products for 1997 of approximately $12.6 million increased by approximately $1.4 million or 12% over the comparable 1996 period reflecting a 15% increase in stylus profiler sales and an 8% increase of SXM product sales. Of this increase, approximately 29% was due to growth in volume, with the balance of the increase due to an approximately 14% higher average selling price of process metrology products. Sales of industrial measurement products for 1997 of approximately $10.1 million decreased by approximately $.4 million or 4% compared to the comparable period in 1996.
Veeco booked approximately $71.1 million of orders in 1997 compared to approximately $50.5 million of orders in 1996, reflecting both the increased demand for high density hard drives and the continued industry transition to the next generation MR thin film magnetic heads.
Gross profit for 1997 of approximately $28.0 million represents an increase of approximately $7.6 million or 38% over the comparable 1996 period. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 44.1% for 1997 from 44.4% for 1996 principally due to product mix changes offset by an increase in volume.
Research and development expense in the first six months of 1997 increased by approximately $1.9 million or 42% over the comparable period of 1996 as the Company increased its R&D investment in each product line.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for 1997 increased by approximately $2.8 million compared to the first six months of 1996. The increase was primarily due to approximately $1.7 million of additional selling expense comprised of sales commissions related to the higher sales volume, as well as increased compensation and travel expense as a result of the hiring of additional sales and service personnel to support the Company's continuing growth.
As previously noted in the results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, in connection with acquisition of certain assets of the Media Magnetic Applications business of Materials Research Corporation in April 1997, the Company expensed $4.2 million representing the estimated fair values of in-process engineering and development projects that had not reached technological feasibility and had no future alternative uses.
Operating income for 1997 decreased to approximately $4.8 million compared to approximately $5.9 million for the comparable 1996 period, due to the Company expensing $4.2 million in 1997 of in-process engineering and development projects partially offset by the above noted factors.
Income taxes for 1997 amounted to approximately $1.9 million or 38.0% of income before income taxes as compared to $2.4 million or 37.8% of income before taxes for the same period in 1996.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash provided by operations totaled approximately $6.1 million for the first six months of 1997 compared to $.5 million for the comparable 1996 period. This improvement resulted principally from higher income for 1997 after adding back to net income the $2.6 million net of tax charge for the write-off of in-process research and engineering projects supplemented by favorable changes in operating assets and liabilities.
Veeco made capital expenditures of approximately $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997, as compared to approximately $1.2 million in the comparable 1996 period. Capital expenditures in the first six months of 1997 principally reflect investments in building improvements, laboratory tools and business information systems.
Relative to the acquisition in April 1997 of the Media and Magnetics Applications business of Materials Research Corporation, Veeco believes that it will expend approximately $5 million of cash during the last six months of 1997 for capital expenditures and working capital requirements related to this business. The expected time-frame for developing the acquired technology into commercially viable products is approximately 12 months from the acquisition date and it is anticipated that during this time-frame between $2 million and $3 million of expense will be incurred in connection with the technical and research and development efforts necessary to develop these products.
Relative to the merger with Wyko Corporation in July 1997, Veeco does not believe there will be a significant impact on its cash balance or future cash requirements.
The Company believes that existing cash balances together with cash generated from operations and amounts under the Company's bank credit facility will be sufficient to meet the Company's projected working capital and other cash flow requirements for the foreseeable future.

The authority of the Board with respect to each series shall include, but not be limited to, determination of the following:
(a) The number of shares constituting that series and the distinctive designation of that series;
(b) The dividend rate on the shares of that series, whether dividends shall be cumulative, and, if so, from which date or dates, and the relative rights of priority, if any, of payment of dividends on shares of that series;
(c) Whether that series shall have voting rights, in addition to the voting rights provided by law, and, if so, the terms of such voting rights;
(d) Whether that series shall have conversion privileges, and, if so, the terms and conditions of such conversion, including provision for adjustment of the conversion rate in such events as the Board of Directors shall determine;
(e) Whether or not the shares of that series shall be redeemable, and, if so, the terms and conditions of such redemption, including the date or dates upon or after which they shall be redeemable, and the amount per share payable in case of redemption, which amount may vary under different conditions and at different redemption dates;
(f) Whether that series shall have a sinking fund for the redemption or purchase of shares of that series, and, if so, the terms and amount of such sinking fund;
(g) The rights of the shares of that series in the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation, and the relative rights of priority, if any, of payment of shares of that series;
(h) Any other relative rights, preferences and limitations of that series.
Dividends on outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall be paid or declared and set apart for payment before any dividends shall be paid or declared and set apart for payment on the common shares with respect to the same dividend period.
If upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation, the assets available for distribution to holders of shares of Preferred Stock of all series shall be insufficient to pay such holders the full preferential amount to which they are entitled, then such assets shall be distributed ratably among the shares of all series of Preferred Stock in accordance with the respective preferential amounts (including unpaid cumulative dividends, if any) payable with respect thereto.
