                               ASECO CORPORATION
             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

             FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 26, 1999

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 (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the
six month period ended September 26, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ended March 26, 2000. For further
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
March 28, 1999.

2.  Comprehensive Income -- Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130
"Reporting Comprehensive Income" (SFAS 130) requires the reporting and display
of comprehensive income and its components. Under this standard, certain
revenues, expenses, gains and losses recognized during the period are included
in comprehensive income, regardless of whether they are considered to be results
of operations of the period. During the second quarter of fiscal 2000, total
comprehensive loss amounted to $443,000 versus comprehensive loss of $3,534,000
for the second quarter of fiscal 1999. Comprehensive loss for the first six
months of fiscal 2000 was $994,000 versus comrehensive loss for the first six
months of fiscal 1999 of $4,665,000. The difference between comprehensive loss
and net loss as reported on the Consolidated Statements of Operations is
attributable to the foreign currency translation adjustment.

3.  New Accounting Pronouncements -- The Company has not yet adopted Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities" (SFAS 133) which is required to be adopted in fiscal
2002, as amended by Financial Accounting Standards No. 137. Adoption of this
standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.

5.  Restructuring and Other Charges -- In the second quarter of fiscal 1999, the
Company announced a plan to consolidate its UK wafer handling and inspection
operations. This plan included the closure of the Company's UK facility and
related transfer of manufacturing and other operations to the United States as
well as the discontinuation of several older product models in an effort to
focus the operation's product offerings. In conjunction with this plan, the
Company recorded a $2.2 million special charge

                                       6
<PAGE>

including a $850,000 charge to cost of sales for inventory write-downs related
to product discontinuation and a $1.3 million restructuring charge. The
principal components of the restructuring charge included $627,000 for a write-
down of fixed and other long-term assets no longer used by the operation,
$241,000 for severance related charges, $325,000 for a write-down of goodwill
related to the impairment of such assets indicated using estimated future cash
flows, and $65,000 of lease termination and related costs. As of January 1999,
the closure and transfer were substantially complete, fixed assets were disposed
of and severance related costs were paid.

    In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company recorded a special charge
of $6.2 million. The charge reflected the impact of continuing unfavorable
conditions in the semiconductor capital equipment market, a more gradual
recovery than was previously anticipated and expected future technology changes
in this market upon the Company's product line, cost structure and asset base.
Components of the charge included 1) a $5.0 million charge to cost of goods sold
for write-downs related principally to excess inventory based on revised fiscal
year 2000 and beyond forecasted operating plans; 2) a $351,000 charge to
research and development for the write-down of development equipment no longer
used by the Company as a result of a refocusing of development efforts to
address expected technology changes and; 3) a $854,000 charge to selling,
general and administrative expense including $544,000 related to the write-down
of various assets whose net realizable value was adversely affected based on
revised fiscal year 2000 and beyond forecasted operating plans, $280,000 related
to costs associated with the layoff of 13 employees and $30,000 related to the
closure of the Company's Malaysian subsidiary. As of June 1999, fixed assets
deemed no longer useable were put out of service and segregated for disposal,
and all severance related costs were paid.

6. Credit Facility -- On August 19, 1999, the Company entered into a two-year
revolving credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") allowing for maximum
availability of $3.0 million based on a percentage of qualified accounts
receivable and inventory. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by
all the assets of the Company and are subject to certain financial covenants
including specified levels of net worth, and debt to net worth ratios and
limitations on capital expenditures. Interest accrues on outstanding balances
under the Credit Agreement at prime plus 1.5%. As of November 5, 1999,
availability under this facility was $3.0 million. The Company's indebtedness
for borrowed money was $1,351,000 at September 26, 1999, compared to $475,000 at
March 28, 1999. As of September 26, 1999, the Company was in compliance with all
covenants under the Credit Agreement.

7.  Repayment of Loan -- On July 6, 1999, an executive officer repaid $140,000
to the Company in settlement of the principal portion of an outstanding loan.
The Board of Directors agreed to forgive all accrued interest on such loan.

8.  Taxes -- No tax benefit was recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2000
because no benefit from operating loss carryback provisions was available to the
Company. The Company recorded a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets,
principally representing net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax
assets the realization of which the Company does not deem more likely than not.

9.  Merger -- On September 20, 1999, the Company announced a definitive merger
agreement with Micro Component Technology, Inc., a test handler manufacturer.
The transaction, which is structured as a stock merger, is valued at
approximately $16.3 million, subject to certain adjustments. The agreement has
been approved by the Board of Directors of each company and is subject to
approval by the shareholders of each company and regulatory agencies. The
Company anticipates that the merger will close in December 1999.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

For the three and six months ended September 26, 1999 and September 27, 1998

     Pending Merger
     --------------

     On September 20, 1999, the Company announced a definitive merger agreement
with Micro Component Technology, Inc., a test handler manufacturer. The
transaction, which is structured as a stock merger, is valued at approximately
$16.3 million, subject to certain adjustments. The agreement has been approved
by the Board of Directors of each company and is subject to approval by the
shareholders of each company and regulatory agencies. The Company anticipates
that the merger will close in December 1999.

     Results of Operations-Overview
     ------------------------------

     During fiscal 1999, the Company undertook several actions to address the
impact of the market downturn on the Company. In the second quarter of fiscal
1999, the Company recorded a special charge of $2.2 million including a $850,000
charge to cost of sales for inventory write-downs related to product
discontinuation and a $1.3 million restructuring charge. The principal
components of the restructuring charge included $627,000 for a write-down of
fixed and other long-term assets no longer used by the operation, $241,000 for
severance related charges, $325,000 for a write-down of goodwill related to the
impairment of such assets indicated using estimated future cash flows, and
$65,000 of lease termination and related costs. As of January 1999, the closure
and transfer were substantially complete, fixed assets were disposed of and
severance related costs were paid.

     In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company recorded a special charge
of $6.2 million.  The charge reflected the impact of continuing unfavorable
conditions in the semiconductor capital equipment market, a more gradual
recovery than was previously anticipated and expected future technology changes
in this market upon the Company's product line, cost structure and asset base.
Components of the charge included 1) a $5.0 million charge to cost of goods sold
for write-downs related principally to excess inventory based on revised fiscal
year 2000 and beyond forecasted operating plans; 2) a $351,000 charge to
research and development for the write-down of development equipment no longer
used by the Company as a result of a refocusing of development efforts to
address expected technology changes and; 3) a $854,000 charge to selling,
general and administrative expense including $544,000 related to the write-down
of various assets whose net realizable value was adversely affected based on
revised fiscal year 2000 and beyond forecasted operating plans, $280,000 related
to costs associated with the layoff of 13 employees and $30,000 related to the
closure of the Company's Malaysian subsidiary. As of June 1999, fixed assets
deemed no longer useable were put out of service and segregated for disposal,
and all severance related costs were paid.


Three and Six Months Ended September 26, 1999 and September 27, 1998
---------------------------------------------------------------------

     Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 increased 29% to $5.7
million from $4.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 1999. For the first
six months of fiscal 2000, net sales decreased 6% to $10.4

                                       8
<PAGE>

million from $11.0 million for the same period last year. The increase in
quarterly net sales resulted from an increase in demand for the Company's
products, particularly those serving the small outline (SO) and accelerometer
product markets, resulting from improved semiconductor capital equipment market
conditions.

     International sales represented approximately 18% of net sales in the
second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2000 compared to 35% and 42% of
net sales in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 1999,
respectively.

     Gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 was $2.3 million, or 41%
of net sales, compared to $754,000, or 17% of net sales, in the second quarter
of fiscal 1999. During the first six months of fiscal 2000, gross profit was
$4.2 million, or 41% of net sales compared to $3.3 million, or 30% of net sales,
for the same period in fiscal 1999. Gross profit in the second quarter of fiscal
1999 was impacted by a special charge of $850,000 described above in the section
"Results of Operations-Overview". Additionally, gross profit in both periods was
significantly influenced by a product shipment mix including a larger component
of the Company's lower gross margin products.

     Research and development costs decreased 30% to $850,000 in the second
quarter of fiscal 2000 from $1.2 million in the same quarter last year. Research
and development costs for the first six months of fiscal 2000 decreased 41% to
$1.7 million from $2.9 million in the first six months of the prior year. The
decrease in spending was primarily the result of workforce reductions
implemented during fiscal 1999. Development spending in the first six months of
fiscal 2000 was focused on various enhancements and features for the Company's
existing products and a new test handler platform.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 14% to $1.9 million
in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 from $2.2 million in the second quarter of
fiscal 1999. During the first six months of fiscal 2000, selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased 23% to $3.5 million compared to $4.5 million
for the same period in fiscal 1999. The decrease in selling, general and
administrative expenses was a result of reductions in headcount during fiscal
1999 and strict controls over discretionary spending.

     As a result of the above, the Company generated an operating loss of
$402,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 and $968,000 for the first six
months of fiscal 2000 compared to an operating loss of $3.9 million and $5.4
million in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 1999, respectively.

     Other income (expense), net consists primarily of interest expense paid on
the Company's outstanding line of credit balance.

     The Company recorded no income tax benefit in the second quarter and first
six months of fiscal 2000 because no benefits from operating loss carryback
provisions were available to the Company. The Company recorded a valuation
allowance for deferred tax assets, principally representing net operating loss
carryforwards and other deferred tax assets, the realization of which the
Company does not deem more likely than not.

     Net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 was $443,000, or $.11 per
share, compared to net loss of $3.6 million, or $.96 per share, in the second
quarter of fiscal 1999. Net loss for the first six months

                                       9
<PAGE>

of fiscal 2000 was $994,000, or $.26 per share, compared to net loss of $4.7
million, or $1.26 per share, in the same period last year.

     Liquidity and Capital Resources
     -------------------------------

     The Company historically has funded its operations primarily through cash
flows from operations, bank borrowings and the private and public sale of equity
securities. At September 26, 1999, the Company had cash, net of borrowings, of
$301,000 and working capital of approximately $7.3 million.

     The Company used approximately $487,000 in cash for operating activities
during the first six months of fiscal 2000. The primary working capital factors
affecting cash from operations were accounts receivable, inventory and accounts
payable and accrued expenses. Accounts receivable increased approximately $2.4
million as a result of an increase in net sales from March 1999. Additionally,
the majority of second quarter equipment shipments occurred in the last month of
the second quarter. Inventory decreased approximately $269,000 during the first
six months of fiscal 2000 as the Company was able to manage material receipts
and ship product from finished inventory. Accounts payable and accrued expenses
increased approximately $542,000 during the first six months of the year as a
result of the increase in business volume. Lastly, in the second quarter of
fiscal 2000, the Company received an income tax refund in the amount of
approximately $1.3 million related to federal taxes paid by the Company in
fiscal 1998 and prior periods.

     The Company used approximately $30,000 to fund internal software
development costs while capital expenditures were deminimus as a result of a
Company-wide freeze on capital spending.

     On August 19, 1999, the Company entered into a two-year revolving credit
agreement (the "Credit Agreement") allowing for maximum availability of $3.0
million based on a percentage of qualified accounts receivable and inventory.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by all the assets of the
Company and are subject to certain financial covenants including specified
levels of net worth, and debt to net worth ratios and limitations on capital
expenditures. Interest accrues on outstanding balances under the Credit
Agreement at prime plus 1.5%. As of November 5, 1999, availability under this
facility was $3.0 million. The Company's indebtedness for borrowed money was
$1,351,000 at September 26, 1999, compared to $475,000 at March 28, 1999. As of
September 26, 1999, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the
Credit Agreement.

     Although the Company is cautiously optimistic regarding market conditions
in the semiconductor industry, the Company continues to expect to be effected by
a more gradual recovery in the market and the effect of expected future
technology changes in this market upon the Company's product line. As a result,
the Company intends to monitor, and further reduce if necessary, its expenses if
projected lower net sales levels continue. Although the Company anticipates that
it will incur losses in future quarters which will negatively impact its
liquidity position, the Company believes that funds generated from operations,
existing cash balances and available borrowing capacity will be sufficient to
meet the Company's cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.
However, if the Company is unable to meet its operating plan, and in particular
its forecast for product shipments, the Company may require additional capital.
There can be no assurance that if the Company is required to secure additional
capital that such capital will be available on reasonable terms, if at all, at
such time as required by the Company.

     Year 2000
     ---------

     Historically, certain computer programs have been written using two digits
rather than four to define the applicable year, which could result in a computer
recognizing a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This
in turn, could result in major system failures or miscalculations, and is
generally referred to as the "Year 2000 Problem".

     In the second quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company completed its
implementation of a new enterprise-wide management information system that the
vendor has represented is Year 2000 compliant. In addition, the Company has
completed an assessment of other software used by the Company for Year 2000
compliance and has noted no material instances of non-compliance. On an on-going
basis, the Company reviews each of its new hardware and software purchases to
ensure that it is Year 2000 compliant. The Company has also conducted a review
of its product line and has determined that most of the products it has sold and
will continue to sell do not require remediation to be Year 2000 compliant. This
conclusion is based partly on third party representations that product
components, such as personal computers, will be Year 2000 compliant. The Company
had no means of ensuring that such suppliers' components will be Year 2000
compliant.

     The Company is in the process of gathering information about the Year 2000
compliance status of its significant suppliers and customers. Additionally, the
compliance status of the Company's external agents who process vital Company
data such as payroll, employee benefits, and banking information have been
queried for Year 2000 compliance. To date, the Company is not aware of any such
external agent with a Year 2000 issue that would materially impact the Company's
results of operations, liquidity, or capital resources. However, the Company had
no means of ensuring that external agents will be Year 2000 ready.

     To date the Company has incurred approximately $870,000 ($207,000 expensed
and $663,000 capitalized for new systems and equipment) related to all phases of
the Year 2000 compliance initiatives.

     Although the Company does not believe that it will incur any additional
material costs or experience material disruptions in its business associated
with preparing its internal systems for Year 2000 compliance, there can be no
assurances that the Company will not experience serious unanticipated negative
consequences and/or material costs caused by undetected errors or defects in the
technology used in its internal systems, which is comprised of third party
software and third party hardware that contain embedded software.

     The most reasonably likely worst case scenarios would include (i)
corruption of data contained in the Company's internal information systems
relating to, among other things, manufacturing and customer orders, shipments
billing and collections, (ii) hardware failures, (iii) the failure of
infrastructure services provided by government agencies and other third parties
(i.e., electricity, phone service, water transport, payroll, employee benefits,
etc.), (iv) warranty and litigation expense associated with third-party software
incorporated into the Company's products that is not Year 2000 compliant, and
(v) a decline in sales resulting from disruptions in the economy generally due
to Year 2000 issues.

     The Company has contingency plans for certain critical applications and is
working on such plans for others. These contingency plans involve among other
actions, manual workarounds and adjusting staffing strategies.

Cautionary Statement for Purposes of "Safe Harbor" Provisions of the Private
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
----------------------------------------

    This Report on Form 10Q contains forward-looking statements relating to
future events or the future financial performance of the Company. Readers are
cautioned that such statements, which may be identified by words including
"anticipates," "believes," "intends," "estimates," "plans," and other similar
expressions, are only predictions or estimations and are subject to known and
unknown risks and uncertainties, over which the Company has little or no
control. In evaluating such statements, readers should consider the various
factors identified below which could cause actual events, performance or results
to differ materially from those indicated by such statements.

    Liquidity -- As of September 26, 1999 the Company had cash, net of
borrowings, of $301,000 and working capital of approximately $7.3 million. As a
result of anticipated continued weakness in the semiconductor market, the
Company expects to incur further losses in future quarters which will negatively
impact its liquidity position. Although the Company believes that funds
generated from operations, existing cash balances and available borrowing will
be sufficient to meet the Company's cash requirements for at least the next
twelve months, if the Company is unable to meet its operating plan, the Company
may require additional capital. There can be no assurance that if the Company is
required to secure additional capital that such capital will be available on
reasonable terms, if at all, at such time as required by the Company.

    Semiconductor Market Fluctuations -- The semiconductor market has
historically been cyclical and subject to significant economic downturns at
various times, which often have a disproportionate effect on manufacturers of
semiconductor capital equipment. As a result, there can be no assurance that the
Company will not experience material fluctuations in future quarterly or annual
operating results as a result of such a market fluctuation. The semiconductor
industry in recent periods has experienced decreased demand, and it is uncertain
how long these conditions will continue.

    Reliance on Distributor -- In November 1997, Aseco entered into a
distribution agreement with Rasco A.G. ("Rasco") pursuant to which Aseco markets
and sells Rasco's SO1000 test handler in the United States, Canada and Taiwan.
To achieve sales objectives, the Company must rely on Rasco to build and ship
test handlers in accordance with a quarterly schedule. There can be no assurance
that Rasco will be able to consistently meet such a schedule. Accordingly, the
Company's operating results are subject to variability from quarter to quarter
and could be adversely affected for a particular quarter if shipments for that
quarter were lower than anticipated. Additionally, termination of the Rasco
relationship with the Company could adversely affect the Company's financial
performance. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to retain
its current distribution agreement with Rasco.

    Variability in Quarterly Operating Results -- During each quarter, the
Company customarily sells a limited number of systems, thus a change in the
shipment of a few systems in a quarter can have a significant impact on results
of operations for a particular quarter. To achieve sales objectives, the Company
must generally obtain orders for systems to be shipped in the same quarter in
which the order is obtained. Moreover, customers may cancel or reschedule
shipments with limited or no penalty, and production difficulties could delay
shipments. Accordingly, the Company's operating results are subject to
significant variability from quarter to quarter and could be adversely affected
for a particular quarter if shipments for that quarter were lower than
anticipated. Moreover, since the Company ships a significant quantity of
products at or near the end of each quarter, the magnitude of fluctuation is
not known until late in or at the end of any given quarter.

    New Product Introductions -- The Company's success depends in part on its
continued ability to develop and market new products. There can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to develop and introduce new products in a timely
manner or that such products, if developed, will achieve market acceptance.
Additionally there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
manufacture such products at profitable levels or in sufficient quantities to
meet customer requirements. The inability of the Company to do any of the
foregoing could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operating
results.

    International Operations -- In the second quarter and first six months of
fiscal 2000, 18% of the Company's net sales were derived from customers in
international markets compared to 35% and 42% in the second quarter and first
six months of fiscal 1999. The Company is therefore subject to certain risks
common to many export activities, such as governmental regulations, export
license requirements, air transportation disruptions, freight rates and the risk
of imposition of tariffs and other trade barriers. A portion of the Company's
international sales are invoiced in foreign currencies and, accordingly, are
subject to fluctuating currency exchange rates. As such there can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to protect its position by hedging its
exposure to currency exchange rate fluctuations.

    Competition -- The markets for the Company's products are highly
competitive. The Company's competitors include a number of established companies
that have significantly greater financial, technical, manufacturing and
marketing resources than the Company. The Company also competes with a number of
smaller companies. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
compete successfully against current and future sources of competition or that
the competitive pressures faced by the Company will not adversely affect its
profitability or financial performance.

    Customer Concentrations -- Although the Company has a growing customer
base, from time to time, an individual customer may account for 10% or more of
the Company's quarterly or annual net sales. During the fiscal year ended
March 28, 1999, two customers accounted for 14% and 13% of net sales,
respectively. The Company expects that such customer concentration of net sales
will continue to occur from time to time as customers place large quantity
orders with the Company. As a result, the loss of, or significant reduction in
purchases by any such customer could have an adverse effect on the Company's
annual or quarterly financial results.

    Investments in Research & Development -- The Company is currently investing
in specific time-sensitive strategic programs related to the research and
development area which the Company believes is critical to its future ability to
compete effectively in the market. As such, the Company plans to continue to
invest in such programs at a planned rate and not to reduce or limit the
increase in such expenditures until such programs are completed. As a result
there can be no assurance that such expenditures will not adversely affect the
Company's quarterly or annual profitability or financial performance.

    Reliance on Third-Party Distribution Channels -- The Company markets and
sells its products primarily through third-party manufacturers' representative
organizations which are not under the direct control of the Company. The Company
has limited internal sales personnel. A reduction in the sales efforts by the
Company's current manufacturers' representatives or a termination of their
relationships with the Company could adversely affect the Company's operations
and financial performance. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to retain its current manufacturers' representatives or its distribution
channels by selling directly through its sales employees or enter into
arrangements with new manufacturers' representatives.

    Dependence on Key Personnel -- The Company's success depends to a
significant extent upon a number of senior management and technical personnel.
These persons are not bound by employment agreements. The loss of the services
of a number of these key persons could have a material adverse effect on the
Company. The Company's future success will depend in large part upon its ability
to attract and retain highly skilled technical, managerial and marketing
personnel. Competition for such personnel in the Company's industry is intense.
There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to be successful in
attracting and retaining the personnel it requires to successfully develop new
and enhanced products and to continue to grow and operate profitably.

    Dependence on Proprietary Technology -- The Company's success is dependent
upon proprietary software and hardware which the Company protects primarily
through patents and restrictions on access to its trade secrets. There can be no
assurance that the steps taken by the Company to protect its proprietary rights
will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of its technology or independent
development by others of similar technology. Although the Company believes that
its products and technology do not infringe any existing proprietary rights of
others, the use of patents to protect software and hardware has increased and
there can be no assurance that third parties will not assert infringement claims
against the Company in the future.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

     There has been no material change in the Company's assessment of its
sensitivity to market risk from that described in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 28, 1999.
