die Zahlen waren einfach nur schlecht, das kann man nicht anders sagen, ausser push, phantasie und heisse Luft ist da nicht viel, warte doch einfach die nächsten Quartale ab, der Kurs wird dann bestimmt nicht höher stehen und wenn sich dann doch noch abzeichnet, dass sie die Kurve kriegen kannst Du immernoch rein

Press Release
Amtech Systems Inc. Enters Optical Component Market With Record $6.4 Million Order
TEMPE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 16, 2000--Amtech Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: ASYS - news) Wednesday announced that it has secured a new order for $6.4 million of semiconductor production equipment, marking its entry into the optical component telecomm market.

This large order represents a new record for the company. The order is for 11 diffusion furnace systems to be delivered over the next 12 months. The company`s products will be used in the production of optical integrated circuit devices that are critical components in high-speed switches for broadband communications over fiber optic lines, a new market for the company.

J.S. Whang, the company`s president and chief executive officer, stated, ``Our customer for these products is a well financed European company in a rapidly growing industry that produces these technologically leading-edge optical switches used in high-speed telecommunications.

``According to the recent forecast of RHK, the worldwide optical component telecommunications market is projected to increase from $6.6 billion in 1999 to $23 billion in 2003. Therefore, this could become an important emerging market for the Company`s diffusion furnaces. The Company also has a diffusion furnace order from another producer of integrated optical components and has provided quotations to other manufacturers in this exciting new industry.``

The 11 systems include six high-temperature, oxidation systems and five ultra-high temperature diffusion furnaces for a proprietary process at over 1300 degrees centigrade. Previously, the company delivered one ultra-high temperature furnace to the same customer.

At June 30, 2000, the order backlog was $14,151,000, an increase of 218% from the $4,444,000 backlog at March 31, 2000. The June 30, 2000 backlog includes two recent, large orders, one for five fully automated diffusion furnaces and the other for the 11 diffusion furnace systems, referred to above, which are to be shipped over the next 12 months.

Because of the recent increase in orders, the company expects to achieve significantly higher revenue and operating profit over the next several quarters.

Amtech Systems Inc. manufactures capital equipment, including silicon wafer handling automation, semiconductor processing equipment and related consumables used in fabricating semiconductor devices.

Semiconductors, or semiconductor chips, are fabricated on silicon wafer substrates, sliced from ingots, and are part of the circuitry, or electronic components, of many products, including computers, telecommunications devices, automotive products, consumer goods and industrial automation and control systems.

The company`s semiconductor handling and processing products currently address the polishing of newly sliced silicon wafers and reclaimed test wafers and the oxidation and deposition steps used in the fabrication of semiconductors.

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a ``safe harbor`` for forward-looking statements.

Certain information included in this press release (as well as information included in oral statements or other written statements made or to be made by Amtech Systems Inc.) contains statements that are forward-looking.

Such forward-looking information involves a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed or anticipated by management.

Potential risks and uncertainties include, among other factors, industry specific and general business conditions, competitive market conditions, success of Amtech`s growth and sales strategies, the possibility of customer changes in delivery schedules, cancellation of orders, potential delays in product shipments, delays in obtaining inventory parts from suppliers and failure to satisfy customer acceptance requirements.

The company does not undertake any obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements for changing circumstances.

Tuesday August 15, 8:56 am Eastern Time
Press Release
Amtech Systems Inc. Reported 945% Earnings Increase for Third Quarter
TEMPE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 15, 2000--Amtech Systems Inc. (Nasdaq:ASYS - news) Tuesday reported net income in the third quarter of fiscal 2000 (which ended June 30, 2000) of $292,000, or $0.13 per diluted share, a 945% increase compared to net income of $28,000, or $0.01 per share, earned in the third quarter of fiscal 1999.

For the first nine months of fiscal 2000, the company earned $690,000, or $0.31 per diluted share, a 385% increase over the $143,000, or $0.07 per share, earned in the comparable period of fiscal 1999. Consolidated revenue was $4,693,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2000, a 38% increase, compared to $3,404,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 1999.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2000, consolidated revenue was $13,105,000, or 26% higher than the $10,376,000 of revenue reported for the corresponding period in fiscal 1999.

Third quarter sales of semiconductor production equipment were $2,587,000 in the current fiscal year, or 38% higher than reported in the equivalent period of fiscal 1999. Polishing supplies and equipment sales were $2,106,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2000, or 38% higher than in the third quarter of the prior fiscal year.

The company continues to benefit from the turnaround in the semiconductor industry on which both segments are dependent. Within the semiconductor production equipment segment, sales of IBAL automation products increased 214%, or $1,021,000, to $1,498,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2000, compared to $477,000 in the same period of fiscal 1999.

The improvement in that component of the semiconductor equipment segment partially offset a 24% decline in the sales of diffusion furnaces. The other factor that contributed to the 945% increase in net income was an improvement in gross margin to 36% of revenue, which is eight percentage points higher than the 28% gross margin in the third quarter of the prior fiscal year.

The growth in margins as a percentage of revenue is due to an improved product mix and the spreading of fixed and semi-fixed costs over the higher sales volume.

J.S. Whang, the company`s president and chief executive officer, stated, ``I am pleased with the strong growth in our earnings and revenues during the past two quarters and with the recent increase in new orders.

``I am especially pleased with our customers` enthusiastic reception of our new IBAL Automation products and our ability to produce significantly higher earnings while at that same time greatly increasing research and development spending. The Company has also stepped-up its acquisition efforts, which have greatly contributed to our past growth.``

Amtech Systems Inc. manufactures capital equipment and related consumables used in the manufacture of various thin-wafer materials, primarily silicon wafers for the semiconductor industry, and in automation and certain thermal processes used in fabricating semiconductor devices.
