NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
(1) Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     Description of Business
     FSI International, Inc. (the “Company”) is a global supplier of surface conditioning equipment (process equipment that is used to etch and clean organic and inorganic materials from the surfaces of a silicon wafer), and technology and support services for microelectronics manufacturing. The Company’s broad portfolio of batch and single-wafer cleaning products includes process technologies for immersion (a method used to clean silicon wafers by immersing the wafers in multiple tanks filled with process chemicals), spray (sprays chemical mixtures, water and nitrogen in a variety of sequences on to the microelectronic substrate), vapor (utilizes gas phase chemistries to selectively remove sacrificial surface films) and CryoKinetic (a momentum transfer process used to remove non-chemically bonded particles from the surface of a microelectronic device). The Company’s support services programs provide product and process enhancements to extend the life of installed FSI equipment.
     In addition, the Company maintains the POLARIS® microlithography (uses light to transfer a circuit pattern onto a wafer) Systems and Services (“PSS”) organization to focus on supporting the more than 300 installed POLARIS® Systems, including refurbishments, upgrades, training and spares.
     The Company’s customers include microelectronics manufacturers located throughout North America, Europe, Japan and the Asia-Pacific region.
     Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
     The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments, except as disclosed in the notes) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. The statements have been prepared in accordance with the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) but omit certain information and footnote disclosures necessary to present the statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 25, 2007, previously filed with the SEC.
     Use of Estimates
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that could affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
     New Accounting Pronouncements
     In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax

position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN48 effective as of August 26, 2007, the first day of the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The adoption of FIN48 had no impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of numerous state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is subject to U.S. federal tax examinations by tax authorities for fiscal years after 2003. Income tax examinations that the Company may be subject to for the various state and foreign taxing authorities vary by jurisdiction. The Company’s policy under FIN48 for penalties and interest is to include such amounts, if any, in income tax expense.
     In September, 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair-value measurements. This statement applies only to fair-value measurements that are already required or permitted by other accounting standards, except for measurements of share-based payments and measurements that are similar to, but not intended to be, fair value. This statement is expected to increase the consistency of fair value measurements, but imposes no requirements for additional fair-value measures in financial statements. The provisions under SFAS No. 157 are effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company is still evaluating the impact the adoption of this pronouncement will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(6) Stock-Based Compensation
     Stock-based compensation expense for new stock options granted or vested under the Company’s stock incentive plan and employee stock purchase plan was reflected in the statement of operations for the first quarter of each of fiscal 2008 and 2007 as follows (in thousands):

     The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing method. The Company uses historical data to estimate the expected price volatility, the expected option life and the expected forfeiture rate. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the estimated life of the option. The Company has not made any dividend payments nor does it expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. There were no options granted during the first quarters of fiscal 2008 or 2007.
     A summary of our option activity for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 is as follows (in thousands, except price per share and contractual term):
                                 
                    Weighted-

    3,484     $ 7.15       5.0        
 
                               
 
                               
Exercisable as of November 24, 2007
    3,248     $ 7.31       4.7        
 
                               
     The intrinsic value for options outstanding or exercisable as of November 24, 2007 was insignificant, as the closing price of the Company’s stock at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2008 was less than the exercise price of the majority of the options outstanding or exercisable.
     There were no options exercised during the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the first quarter of fiscal 2007 was $89,600.

(8) Cost Reductions
     In fiscal 2007, the Company implemented cost reduction actions including a 25% reduction in headcount to approximately 430 employees and other operating cost initiatives. The cost reduction actions were related to industry conditions in the semiconductor device and thin film head (a device manufactured on a silicon wafer which is capable of reading and writing information onto a compact disc or other information storage device) segments that the Company serves, coupled with a delay in certain customer-specific equipment purchases. A total of 136 positions were eliminated in connection with this reduction of which 61 were manufacturing positions, 28 were sales, service and marketing positions, 13 were administration positions and 34 were engineering positions. The terminations all occurred in fiscal 2007. Severance and outplacement costs recorded in fiscal 2007 were allocated as follows: $923,000 to selling, general and administrative expense, $592,000 to research and development expense and $296,000 to cost of goods sold.

(9) Contingencies
     In late calendar 2006, the Company determined that certain of its replacement valves, pumps and heaters could fall within the scope of United States export licensing regulations to products that could be used in connection with chemical weapons processes. The Company determined that these regulations require it to obtain licenses to ship some of its replacement spare parts, spare parts kits and assemblies to customers in certain controlled countries as defined in the export licensing regulations. During the second quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company was granted licenses to ship replacement spare parts, spare parts kits and assemblies to all customers in the controlled countries where the Company conducts business.
     The applicable export licensing regulations frequently change. Moreover, the types and categories of products that are subject to export licensing are often described in the regulations in general terms and could be subject to differing interpretations.
     In the second quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company made a voluntary disclosure to the United States Department of Commerce to clarify its licensing practices and to review its practices with respect to prior sales of certain replacement valves, pumps and heaters to customers in several controlled countries as defined in the licensing regulations.
     The United States Department of Commerce could assess penalties for any past violation of export control regulations. The potential penalties are dependent upon the number of shipments in violation of the export control regulations. The penalties can range from zero to $50,000 per violation. Management believes that the resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse impact to the Company’s consolidated financial condition. The licenses that were granted during the second quarter of fiscal 2007 do not necessarily mitigate the Company’s risk with respect to past violations.

Industry
          Dataquest, a leading research organization, recently decreased its semiconductor demand forecast for calendar 2007 and 2008. They predict that demand for semiconductors will increase approximately 2.9 percent in calendar 2007, from the $263 billion in calendar 2006. The calendar 2007 increase is expected to occur across all device types, except memory. The same research organization is forecasting a 6.2 percent increase in demand for semiconductor devices in calendar 2008 from calendar 2007.
          Total equipment spending in calendar 2007 is expected to increase approximately 6.8 percent, from the $42 billion calendar 2006 level, as forecasted by Dataquest. In general, analysts have a mixed view on calendar 2008 forecasted total equipment spending, ranging from a 15 to 20 percent decline to a modest increase. Dataquest is currently forecasting that total equipment spending will decline 9.9 percent in calendar 2008 as compared to calendar 2007. However, given the precipitous drop in total monthly world wide equipment orders during the first half of calendar 2007, we expect modest sequential quarterly growth in industry spending in calendar 2008.*
          Device manufacturers continue to manage their capacity increases very carefully. They remain cautious toward placing new orders and are asking equipment manufacturers, including FSI, to shorten equipment delivery lead times. We expect this trend to continue into calendar 2008.*

Overview
          In the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we again made progress on our core initiative to gain process tool of record status with one or more of our flagship products at the top spenders in the semiconductor industry. Our enhanced ViPR technology continues to gain momentum as customers run demonstrations and implement the process in production. Recently, we announced that the ViPR technology has been adapted for several additional film removal steps. Over the long term, we expect these film removal steps to contribute to incremental revenue as customers qualify them in production.* In addition, during the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we gained acceptance of our MAGELLAN system from a new customer.
          We are anticipating an increase in unit sales for our ANTARES platform in fiscal 2008 as compared to the prior year, as device manufacturers increase their 65nm production and continue the qualification of products for 45nm applications.* Our second quarter order guidance assumes orders for several ANTARES tools, and we anticipate additional orders and evaluation placements as the fiscal year progresses.*
          From a development perspective, we are making progress on qualifying various surface conditioning applications for our new ORION single wafer wet cleaning system. We now have an eight chamber system going through electromechanical operations testing and are assembling additional process modules for shipment in calendar 2008. We continue to conduct customer demonstrations in our laboratory for the initial applications. In addition, the system that was placed at a European site in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, as part of a joint development program, is demonstrating broader process capability.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
     In accordance with SEC guidance, those material accounting policies that we believe are the most critical to an investor’s understanding of our financial results and condition and require complex management judgment are discussed below.
     Our critical accounting policies and estimates are as follows:
    revenue recognition;
 
    valuation of long-lived assets;
 
    estimation of valuation allowances and accrued liabilities, specifically product warranty, inventory provisions and allowance for doubtful accounts;
 
    stock-based compensation; and
 
    income taxes.
Revenue Recognition
     We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the purchase price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. If our equipment sales involve sales to our existing customers who have previously accepted the same type(s) of equipment with the same type(s) of specifications, we account for the product sales as a multiple element arrangement. Revenue from multiple element arrangements is allocated among the separate accounting units based on the residual method. Under the residual method, the revenue is allocated to undelivered elements based on fair value of such undelivered elements and the residual amounts of revenue allocated to delivered elements. We recognize the equipment revenue upon shipment and transfer of title. The other multiple elements include installation, service contracts and training. Equipment installation revenue is valued based on estimated service person hours to complete installation and published or quoted service labor rates and is recognized when the installation has been

14


Table of Contents

completed and the equipment has been accepted by the customer. Service contract revenue is valued based on estimated service person hours to complete the service and published or quoted service labor rates and is recognized over the contract period. Training revenue is valued based on published training class prices or quoted rates and is recognized when the customers complete the training classes or when a customer-specific training period has expired. The published or quoted service labor rates and training class prices are rates actually charged and billed to our customers.
     All other product sales with customer-specific acceptance provisions are recognized upon customer acceptance. Future revenues may be negatively impacted if we are unable to meet customer-specific acceptance criteria. Revenue related to spare part sales is recognized upon shipment or delivery based on the trade terms. Revenues related to maintenance and service contracts are recognized ratably over the duration of such contracts.
     The timing and amount of revenue recognized depends on whether revenue is recognized upon shipment versus acceptance. For revenue recognized upon acceptance, it is dependent upon when customer-specific criteria are met.
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets
     We assess the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, in accordance with the FASB’s SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” An asset or asset group is considered impaired if its carrying amount exceeds the undiscounted future net cash flow the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If an asset or asset group is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. If estimated fair value is less than the book value, the asset is written down to the estimated fair value and an impairment loss is recognized.
     If we determine that the carrying amount of long-lived assets, including intangible assets, may not be recoverable, we measure any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by our management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in our current business model or another valuation technique. Net intangible assets and long-lived assets amounted to $19.5 million as of November 24, 2007.
     Considerable management judgment is necessary in estimating future cash flows and other factors affecting the valuation of long-lived assets, including intangible assets, and the operating and macroeconomic factors that may affect them. We use historical financial information, internal plans and projections and industry information in making such estimates.
     We did not recognize any impairment charges for our long-lived assets, including intangible assets, during the first quarters of fiscal 2008 or 2007. While we currently believe the expected cash flows from these long-lived assets, including intangible assets, exceed the carrying amounts, materially different assumptions regarding future performance and discount rates could result in future impairment losses. In particular, if we no longer believe we will achieve our long-term projected sales or operating expenses, we may conclude, in connection with any future impairment tests, that the estimated fair value of our long-lived assets, including intangible assets, is less than the book value and recognize an impairment charge. Such impairment would adversely affect our earnings.
Product Warranty Estimation
     We record a liability for warranty claims at the time of sale. The amount of the liability is based on the trend in the historical ratio of claims to sales, releases of new products and other factors. The warranty periods for new equipment manufactured by us typically range from six months to two years. Special warranty reserves are also accrued for major rework campaigns. Although management believes the likelihood to be relatively low, claims experience could be materially different from actual results because of the introduction of new, more complex products; competition or other external forces; manufacturing changes that could impact product quality; or as yet unrecognized defects in products sold.

15


Table of Contents

Inventory Provisions Estimation
     We record reserves for inventory shrinkage and for potentially excess, obsolete and slow moving inventory. These reserves are based upon historical loss trends, inventory levels, expected product lives, forecasted sales demand and recoverability. Results could be materially different if demand for our products decreased because of economic or competitive conditions, length of the industry downturn, or if products become obsolete because of technical advancements in the industry or by us.
     We had sales of PSS product inventory that had previously been written down to zero with an original cost of $339,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and $87,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. Since we recorded the PSS product inventory reserves primarily as a result of the wind-down of our Microlithography business in the second quarter of fiscal 2003, along with industry conditions, we have had sales of PSS product inventory that had previously been written down to zero and reductions in inventory buyback requirements of approximately $10.0 million, have disposed of approximately $6.7 million of PSS product inventory and have recorded additional reserves of $1.8 million. The original cost of PSS product inventory available for sale or to be disposed of as of November 24, 2007 that has been written down to zero was approximately $9.8 million.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Estimation
     Management must estimate the uncollectibility of our accounts receivable. The most significant risk is a sudden unexpected deterioration in financial condition of a significant customer who is not considered in the allowance. Management specifically analyzes accounts receivable, historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Results could be materially impacted if the financial condition of a significant customer deteriorated and related accounts receivable are deemed uncollectible. Accounts receivable are charged off after management determines that they are uncollectible. We collected receivables of $67,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and $56,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 that had previously been written down to zero, resulting in credits to selling, general and administrative expenses.
Stock-Based Compensation
          We implemented the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123R effective August 28, 2005 using the modified prospective method. Under this method, we recognize compensation expense for all stock-based awards granted on or after August 28, 2005 and for previously granted awards not yet vested as of August 28, 2005.
          We utilize the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate fair value of each award on the date of grant. The Black-Scholes model requires the input of certain assumptions that involve management judgment. Key assumptions that affect the calculation of fair value include the expected life of stock-based awards and our stock price volatility. Additionally, we expense only those shares expected to vest. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards and the forfeiture rate of such awards reflect management’s best estimates. However, circumstances may change and additional data may become available over time, which could result in changes to these assumptions that materially impact the fair value determination of future awards or their estimated rate of forfeiture.
Income Taxes
          Our effective income tax rate is based on income, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available to us in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. We have established valuation allowances against a portion of the U.S. and non-U.S. net operating losses to

16


Table of Contents

reflect the uncertainty of our ability to fully utilize these benefits given the limited carryforward periods permitted by the various jurisdictions. The evaluation of the realizability of our net operating losses requires the use of considerable management judgment to estimate the future taxable income for the various jurisdictions, for which the ultimate amounts and timing of such estimates may differ. The valuation allowance can also be impacted by changes in the tax regulations.
          Significant judgment is required in determining unrecognized tax benefits. We have established accruals for unrecognized tax benefits using management’s best judgment and adjust these accruals as warranted by changing facts and circumstances. A change in our accruals in any given period could have a significant impact on our results of operations for that period.
          We adopted the provisions of FIN48 during the first quarter of fiscal 2008, which had no impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Sales Revenues and Shipments
     Sales revenues decreased to $22.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 as compared to $37.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The decrease related primarily to industry conditions. The decreases occurred in all regions with the most significant decrease occurring in domestic sales. International sales were $19.1 million, representing 85.0% of total sales during the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and $28.2 million, representing 75% of total sales, during the first quarter of fiscal 2007.
     Based upon our revenue recognition policy, certain shipments to customers are not recognized until customer acceptance. Therefore, depending on timing of shipments and customer acceptances, there are time periods where shipments may exceed sales revenue or, due to timing of acceptances, sales revenue may exceed shipments.
     We currently expect second quarter of fiscal 2008 revenues to be between $23 and $25 million.* In order to achieve this revenue level, we will need to gain acceptance for a system that is now being qualified by a customer and obtain several system orders that can be shipped and recognized as revenue in the second quarter.*

Table of Contents

Gross Margin
     Our gross profit margin fluctuates due to a number of factors, including the mix of products sold; the geographic mix of products sold, with international sales generally having lower gross profit than domestic sales; initial product placement discounts; utilization of manufacturing capacity; the sales of inventory previously written down to zero; and the competitive pricing environment.
     Gross margin as a percentage of sales was 38.3% for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and 42.9% for the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The decrease in gross margin related to a change in product mix as 26% of our revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 was derived from our lower margin MAGELLAN® product as compared to 19% of our revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The gross margins were also negatively impacted by an increase in manufacturing variances associated with the decrease in product shipments from the first quarter of fiscal 2007 to the first quarter of fiscal 2008. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in the sales of PSS product inventory previously written down to zero from $87,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 to $339,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2008.
     Gross profit margins are expected to be 46% to 48% of revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2008. The expected increase in profit margin is primarily due to an expected product mix shift compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2008.*
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
     Selling, general and administrative expenses were $6.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and $8.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The decrease related primarily to cost reduction initiatives associated with reductions in headcount taken in the second half of fiscal 2007. For additional information regarding these initiatives, see Note 8 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
     Based upon our current operations, we expect selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 to be in the range of $7.0 to $7.2 million as we continue to focus on managing costs.*
Research and Development Expenses
     Research and development expenses were $4.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and $6.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The decrease related primarily to cost reduction initiatives associated with reductions in headcount taken in the second half of fiscal 2007. For additional information regarding these initiatives, see Note 8 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The majority of our research and development investment is focused on expanding the application capabilities of our products, supporting customer evaluations and continuous improvement programs.
     We expect research and development expenses to range from $4.7 to $4.9 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2008.* This increase over the first quarter of fiscal 2008 reflects the engineering resources required to support evaluation tool placements, our ORION™ single wafer wet system and other development initiatives.
Income Taxes
     We recorded tax expense of $13,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and $42,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The decrease in income tax expense related primarily to alternative minimum tax associated with the net income in the first quarter of fiscal 2007.
     Our net deferred tax assets on the balance sheet as of November 24, 2007 have been fully reserved for with a valuation allowance. We do not expect to significantly reduce our valuation allowance until we are consistently profitable on a quarterly basis.*

18


Table of Contents

     We have net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $155.2 million, which will begin to expire in fiscal 2011 through fiscal 2028 if not utilized. Of this amount, approximately $15.0 million is subject to Internal Revenue Code Section 382 limitations on utilization. This limitation is approximately $1.4 million per year.
Net (Loss) Income
     The net loss was $2.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 as compared to net income of $1.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007.
     Assuming that we can achieve the expected revenues, gross margin and operating expense levels, we expect to report between breakeven and a $1.0 million net loss in the second quarter of fiscal 2008.*
Liquidity and Capital Resources
     Our cash, restricted cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were approximately $23.0 million as of November 24, 2007, a decrease of $1.5 million from the end of fiscal 2007. The decrease was due primarily to $1.2 million of net cash used for operations, $0.2 million of negative exchange rate impact and $0.1 million of principal payments on the capital lease.
     Accounts receivable increased $3.2 million from the end of fiscal 2007. The increase in accounts receivable related primarily to a greater percentage of shipments in the last month of the first quarter of fiscal 2008 as compared to the last month of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. Shipments made in the final month of a quarter generally are not collected during that quarter. Accounts receivable will fluctuate quarter to quarter depending on individual customers’ timing of shipping dates and payment terms.
     Inventory was approximately $25.4 million at November 24, 2007 and $29.6 million at the end of fiscal 2007. The decrease in inventory related primarily to a decrease of $3.7 million in work-in-process inventory due to the decrease in bookings from $21.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 to $15.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Inventory provisions were $14.4 million on November 24, 2007, and $14.7 million at the end of fiscal 2007.
     Trade accounts payable increased to $3.7 million as of November 24, 2007 as compared to $3.5 million at the end of fiscal 2007. The increase in trade accounts payable related primarily to the timing of inventory receipts and payments to vendors.
     As of November 24, 2007, our current ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 4.1 to 1.0, and working capital was $57.4 million.

     The contractual obligations table does not include $1.3 million of accruals for unrecognized tax benefits, as the timing of payments or reversals is uncertain.
     Capital expenditures were $23,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, as compared to $331,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. We expect capital expenditures to be less than $800,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2008.* Depreciation and amortization for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 is expected to be between $1.0 and $1.1 million.*
     At the second quarter expected run rate, we anticipate using less than $1.0 million of net cash for operations in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 as we continue to manage inventory turns and accounts receivable days sales outstanding.* We believe that with existing cash, restricted cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, there will be sufficient funds to meet our currently projected working capital requirements, and to meet our cash requirements through at least fiscal 2008.* We believe that success in our industry requires substantial capital to maintain the flexibility to take advantage of opportunities as they arise. One of our strategic objectives is, as market and business conditions warrant, to consider divestitures, investments or acquisitions of businesses, products or technologies, particularly those that are complementary to our surface conditioning business. We may fund such activities with additional equity or debt financing. The sale of additional equity or debt securities, whether to maintain flexibility or to meet strategic objectives, could result in additional dilution to our shareholders.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
     We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
New Accounting Pronouncements
     In June 2006, FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We adopted the provisions of FIN48 effectively as of the first day of the first quarter of fiscal 2008, August 26, 2007. The adoption of FIN48 had no impact on our financial position or results of operations. We along with our subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of numerous state and foreign jurisdictions. We are subject to U.S. federal tax examinations by tax authorities for fiscal years after 2003. Income tax examinations that we may be subject to for the various state and foreign taxing authorities vary by jurisdiction. Our policy under FIN48 for penalties and interest is to include such amounts, if any, in income tax expense.

     In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair-value measurements. This Statement applies only to fair-value measurements that are already required or permitted by other accounting standards, except for measurements of share-based payments and measurements that are similar to, but not intended to be, fair value. This statement is expected to increase the consistency of fair value measurements, but imposes no requirements for additional fair-value measures in financial statements. The provisions under SFAS No. 157 are effective for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. We are still evaluating the impact the adoption of this pronouncement will have on our consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 3.   QUANTATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
     Our cash flows and earnings are subject to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates due to investments in foreign-based subsidiaries. As of November 24, 2007, our investments included 100% interests in our Europe and our Asia sales and service offices and a 20% interest in mFSI LTD, a distributor of our products in Japan. We denominate the majority of our sales outside of the U.S. in U.S. dollars.
     Because we assumed direct sales, service and applications support and logistics responsibilities for our products in Europe and the Asia Pacific region in March 2003, we have and will continue to incur labor, service and other expenses in foreign currencies. As a result, we may be exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rate risks. As of November 24, 2007, we had not entered into any hedging activities and our foreign currency transaction gains and losses for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 were insignificant. We are currently evaluating various hedging activities and other options to minimize these risks.
     We do not have significant exposure to changing interest rates as we currently have no material long-term debt. As of November 24, 2007, amortized cost approximated market value for all outstanding marketable securities. We do not undertake any specific actions to cover our exposure to interest rate risk and we are not party to any interest rate risk management transactions. The impact on loss before income taxes of a 1% change in short-term interest rates would be approximately $230,000 based on cash, restricted cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balances as of November 24, 2007.
ITEM 4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
     As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1.   Legal Proceedings
     In late calendar 2006, we determined that certain of our replacement valves, pumps and heaters could fall within the scope of United States export licensing regulations to products that could be used in connection with chemical weapons processes. We determined that these regulations require us to obtain licenses to ship some of our replacement spare parts, spare parts kits and assemblies to customers in certain controlled countries as defined in the export licensing regulations. During the second quarter of fiscal 2007, we were granted licenses to ship replacement spare parts, spare parts kits and assemblies to all customers in the controlled countries where we currently conduct business.
     The applicable export licensing regulations frequently change. Moreover, the types and categories of products that are subject to export licensing are often described in the regulations in general terms and could be subject to differing interpretations.
     In the second quarter of fiscal 2007, we made a voluntary disclosure to the United States Department of Commerce to clarify our licensing practices and to review our practices with respect to prior sales of certain replacement valves, pumps and heaters to customers in several controlled countries as defined in the licensing regulations.
     The United States Department of Commerce could assess penalties for any past violation of export control regulations. The potential penalties are dependent upon the number of shipments in violation of the export control regulations. The penalties can range from zero to $50,000 per violation. We believe that the resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial condition. The licenses that were granted during the second quarter of fiscal 2007 do not necessarily mitigate our risk with respect to past violations.
ITEM 1.A.   Risk Factors
     There have not been any material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 25, 2007.

ITEM 3.   Defaults upon Senior Securities
