Entegris derives most of its revenue from the sale of products and services to the semiconductor and data storage industries. The Company’s customers consist primarily of semiconductor manufacturers, semi- conductor equipment and materials suppliers, and hard disk manufacturers which are served through direct sales efforts, as well as sales and distribution relationships, in the United States, Asia and Europe. The Company’s fiscal year is a 52- or 53-week period ending on the last Saturday of August. The last three fiscal years ended on the following dates: August 28, 2004, August 30, 2003 and August 31, 2002. Fiscal years 2004 and 2003 included 52 weeks, while fiscal 2002 comprised 53 weeks. Fiscal years are identified in this report according to the calendar year in which they end. For example, the fiscal year ended August 28, 2004 is alternatively referred to as ‘‘fiscal 2004’’ or “2004.” FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS The information in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, except for the historical information, con- tains forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements could differ materially from actual results. The Company assumes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revision or updates to these forward-looking statements to reflect future events or unanticipated occurrences. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the related Notes, which are included elsewhere in this report. Key operating factors Key factors, which management believes have the largest impact on the overall results of operations of Entegris, Inc., include: The level of sales Since a large portion of the Company’s product costs (excepting raw materials, purchased components and direct labor) are largely fixed in the short/medium term, an increase or decrease in sales affects gross profits and overall profitability significantly. Also, increases or decreases in sales and operating profitability affects certain costs such as incentive compensation, commissions and donations, all of which are highly variable in nature. The variable margin on sales, which is determined by selling prices and the cost of manufacturing and raw materials, has a large effect on profit. This factor is affected by a number of factors, which include the Company’s sales mix, purchase prices of raw material, especially resin, purchased components, com- petition, both domestic and international, direct labor costs, and the efficiency of the Company’s production operations, among others. The Company’s fixed cost structure is significant Accordingly, increases or decreases in these costs have a large impact on profitability. There are a number of large fixed or semi-fixed cost components, which include salaries, indirect labor and benefits, and depreciation and amortization. Thus changes in amounts or usage of these cost components can have a large effect on the Company’s results of operations. OVERALL SUMMARY OF FISCAL 2004 FINANCIAL RESULTS Net sales in fiscal 2004 increased by 38% over the prior year. This sales improve- ment was principally driven by the stronger order and sales activity for the Company’s semiconductor market product lines. The Company’s higher sales were associated with the continuation of improving industry and global economic con- ditions throughout fiscal 2004. Primarily due to the leverage associated with the higher sales, the Company reported higher gross profits and operating income for the year. Partly offsetting the improvement in gross margin were increased selling, general and administrative expenses and engineering, research and development expenses as described below, although both categories rose at rates lower than the aforementioned sales increases. As a result, the Company reported greater net income for the year when compared to a year ago. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of oper- ations are based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. At each balance sheet date, management evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to accounts receivable, warranty and sales return obligations, invento- ries, long-lived assets, and income taxes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these esti- mates under different assumptions or conditions. The critical accounting poli- cies affected most significantly by estimates, assumptions and judgments used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements are dis- cussed below. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Other Accounts Receivable-Related Valuation Accounts The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts as well as reserves for sales returns and allowances, and warranty claims. Significant management judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with establishing these valuation accounts. Material differ- ences could result in the amount and timing of the Company’s results of opera- tions for any period if we made different judgments or utilized different esti- mates. In addition, actual results could be different from the Company’s current estimates, possibly resulting in increased future charges to earnings. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts for all individual receivables judged to be unlikely for collection. For all other accounts receiv- able, the Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts based on a com- bination of factors. Specifically, management analyzes the age of receivable bal- ances, historical bad debts write-off experience, industry and geographic con- centrations of customers, general customer creditworthiness and current eco- nomic trends when determining its allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $1.8 million at both August 28, 2004, and August 30, 2003. A reserve for sales returns and allowances is established based on historical trends and current trends in product returns. At August 28, 2004 and August 30, 2003, the Company’s reserve for sales returns and allowances was $1.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively. 14 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Test No. _____________________________________________________________ Page ____ of _____ 36 14 ENTEGRIS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Subject _______________________________________ The Company records a liability for estimated warranty claims. The amount of the accrual is based on historical claims data by product group and other factors. Claims could be materially different from actual results for a variety of reasons, including a change in the Company’s warranty policy in response to industry trends, competition or other external forces, manufacturing changes that could impact product quality, or as yet unrecognized defects in products sold. At August 28, 2004 and August 30, 2003, the Company’s accrual for estimated future warran- ty costs was $2.0 million and $2.1 million, respectively. Both figures include $1.2 million in warranty liabilities recorded in connection with a fiscal 2003 acquisition. Inventory Valuation The Company uses certain estimates and judgments to properly value inventory. In general, the Company's inventories are recorded at the lower of manufacturing cost or market value. Each quarter, the Company evaluates its ending inventories for obsolescence and excess quantities. This evaluation includes analyses of inventory levels, historical write-off trends, expected product lives, sales levels by product and projections of future sales demand. Inventories that are considered obsolete are written off or are reserved for fully. In addition, reserves are established for inventory quantities in excess of forecasted demand. Inventory reserves were $4.2 million at August 28, 2004 compared to $4.6 million at August 30, 2003. The Company’s inventories comprise materials and products subject to techno- logical obsolescence, which are sold in highly competitive industries. If future demand or market conditions are less favorable than current analyses, additional inventory write-downs or reserves may be required and would be reflected in cost of sales in the period the revision is made. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company routinely considers whether indicators of impairment of its property and equipment assets, particularly its molding equipment, are present. If such indicators are present, it is deter- mined whether the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows attributable to the assets in question is less than their cost basis. If less, an impairment loss is recognized based on the excess of the carrying amount of the assets over their respective fair values. Fair value is determined by discounted estimated future cash flows, appraisals or other methods deemed appropriate. If the assets deter- mined to be impaired are to be held and used, the Company recognizes an impairment charge to the extent the present value of anticipated net cash flows attributable to the asset are less than the asset’s cost basis. The fair value of the asset then becomes the asset’s new cost basis, which we depreciate over the remaining estimated useful life of the asset. The Company assesses the impairment of intangible assets and related goodwill at least annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the cost basis may not be recoverable. Factors considered important which could trigger an impairment review, and potentially an impairment charge, include the following: • significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operat- ing results; • significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the Company’s overall business strategy; • significant negative industry or economic trends; and • significant decline in the Company’s stock price for a sustained period chang- ing the Company’s market capitalization relative to its net book value. The Company’s marketable equity securities are periodically reviewed to deter- mine if declines in fair value below cost basis are other-than-temporary, requir- ing an impairment loss to be recorded and the investment written down to a new cost basis. Income Taxes In the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial state- ments, management is required to estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdic- tions in which the Company operates. This process involves estimating actual current tax exposures together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differ- ences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company intends to continue to reinvest its undistributed international earnings in its international operations; therefore, no U.S. tax expense has been recorded to cover the repatriation of such undistributed earnings. The Company has significant amounts of deferred tax assets. Management reviews its deferred tax assets for recoverability on a quarterly basis and assess- es the need for valuation allowances. These deferred tax assets are evaluated by considering historical levels of income, estimates of future taxable income streams and the impact of tax planning strategies. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is determined that it is more like- ly than not that the Company would not be able to realize all or part of its deferred tax assets. The Company carried no valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at either August 28, 2004, or August 30, 2003. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth the relationship between various components of operations, stated as a percent of net sales, for fiscal year 2004, 2003 and 2002. The Company’s historical financial data were derived from its audited consoli- dated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this annual report.

The increase reflected continued improvement in the semiconductor industry and general economic conditions. The sales improve- ment was principally driven by the improved sales of the Company’s semiconduc- tor market product lines. In addition, sales associated with the Company’s efforts to expand its materials integrity management expertise into new applica- tions and expanded markets resulted in improved sales. The Company estimates that approximately one-fifth of the sales increase for 2004 was associated with the sales generated by businesses or product lines acquired in the second quarter of fiscal 2003 for which no sales were recorded in the year-ago period prior to the dates of the acquisitions.

The following table summarizes total net sales by markets served for 2004 and 2003, along with the year-to-year percentage change: (In thousands) Net sales Semiconductor Data storage Services Other 2004 2003 Change $ 274,755 $ 191,405 32,761 23,276 15,972 31,221 20,354 8,124 $ 346,764 $ 251,104 44% 5 14 97 38% The semiconductor market generated about 79% of the Company’s overall sales for 2004, compared to about 76% in the prior year. Sales of semiconductor prod- ucts rose by 44% from 2003 to 2004. Unit-driven product lines such as wafer ship- pers, and test, assembly and packaging products saw sales improvements in the 20% range. Sales of capital-spending driven products, such as wafer and reticle carrier products and fluid handling products, experienced sales gains generally exceeding 50% year-over-year. The Company’s data storage products accounted for about 9% of consolidated net sales in 2004, compared to 12% a year ago. Year-over-year sales increased by 5% as customers experienced a well-publicized overbuild of hard disk drives in the later part of fiscal 2004. The overall market growth outlook for data storage remains positive, particularly as consumer products are increasingly starting to use disk drives to store data. Services market sales rose 14% from fiscal 2003 and accounted for 7% of Entegris’ overall sales, compared to about 8% a year ago. This increase mainly reflects growth in both the Company’s sales of its on- and off-site cleaning services. Sales of equipment used to clean wafer, disk carrier and shipping products were essentially flat compared with those of a year earlier. About 4% of overall sales for the year were generated in the life sciences market. Sales increased by 89% from fiscal 2003, about three-quarters of which was due to higher sales recorded by Electrol Specialties, a market leader in clean-in- place technology, which was acquired by the Company in January 2003. On a geographic basis, Entegris’ fiscal 2004 sales in North America were 38% of total sales, in Asia Pacific 30%, in Europe 16% and in Japan 16%. Primarily on the strength of improved semiconductor sales, year-over-year sales comparisons saw sales gains in excess of 25% in all regions, with sales to Asia Pacific up over 60%. Based on current order rates, industry analyst expectations and other informa- tion, the Company expects that sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 will be 10% to 15% lower than sales levels experienced in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004. However, industry volatility and uncertain market conditions make it dif- ficult to forecast for future quarters. Gross profit Gross profit in fiscal 2004 increased 53% to $150.8 million, com- pared to $98.7 million in fiscal 2003. As a percentage of net sales, the fiscal 2004 gross margin was 43.5%, compared to 39.3% in 2003. Gross profit dollar gains were reported by both domestic and international operations. The improvements in fiscal 2004 gross margin percentage figures were primarily the result of the increased leverage associated with the improved sales levels noted above, which resulted in higher production levels. Several factors combined to partially offset the benefit of the higher utilization of the Company’s production capacity in fiscal 2004. As was the case in the prior year, gross margin levels were adversely affected by the stronger sales of the Company’s life sciences market products, where gross margins are below those of the semiconductor and data storage markets. In addition, for much of the year, the Company expanded its manufacturing staffing levels to address the rapidly increasing sales demand. As a consequence of adding and training a large num- ber of personnel, primarily temporary employees, operational efficiencies were not fully optimized. As a result, the Company believes it incurred expenses at a somewhat higher level than normal, offsetting the Company’s improved factory utilization. The fiscal 2004 gross margin comparison to the prior year also benefited from the absence of certain items included in fiscal 2003 results. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company began the process, which it essentially com- pleted early in fiscal 2004, of moving a portion of its manufacturing to a build-to- order model, which enabled the reduction of finished goods inventory. These actions led to significant under-absorption of fixed manufacturing costs during that period, accounting for approximately $2.2 million in reduced gross profit. Fiscal 2003 also included transition costs of approximately $1.0 million related to the integration of the wafer and reticle carrier product line acquisition. The Company also incurred costs in connection with the consolidation of several facilities in fiscal 2003. As discussed above, the Company does not provide guidance about fiscal 2005 sales levels. However, in general, gross profit and gross margin variances mainly track the utilization of the Company’s production capacity associated with vary- ing sales levels. In addition, the Company’s gross margin will be dependent on its ability to improve manufacturing efficiencies. Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) SG&A expenses increased $15.9 million, or 20%, to $96.2 million in fiscal 2004, up from $80.3 mil- lion in fiscal 2003. SG&A costs, as a percent of net sales, decreased to 27.7% from 32.0%. This decline mainly reflects the leverage associated with the Company’s increase in net sales. The year-over-year increase was due primarily to increased incentive compensa- tion, profit-sharing and donation accruals reflecting the Company’s improved sales and profitability ($7.4 million), higher professional and consulting fees ($3.8 million), increased amortization expense ($0.9 million) and compensation expense associated with the issuance of shares of restricted stock ($1.2 million). Related to the last item, the Company changed a component of its long-term equity-based incentive programs by issuing fewer stock options and began issu- ing restricted stock grants. Under current accounting rules, the Company is required to expense the intrinsic value of restricted stock grants over their four- year graded vesting periods. Other charges The Company incurred no “Other charges” in fiscal 2004. During the first quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $1.8 million related to the relocation of its Upland, California operations and certain workforce reductions. The charge included $0.9 million in termination costs related to a workforce reduction of approximately 75 employees, $0.4 million for estimated losses for asset impairment and $0.5 million for future lease commit- ments on the Upland facility. As of August 28, 2004, future cash outlays of $0.1 million remained outstanding in connection with the aforementioned charge and are related to lease commitments, which run through July 2005. The Company recorded a pre-tax benefit of $0.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2003 associated with the favorable settlement of a portion of the future lease commit- ments included in the aforementioned charge. Engineering, research and development expenses (ER&D) ER&D expenses increased 13% to $20.1 million in 2004 as compared to $17.8 million in 2003. Despite the increase in ER&D expenses, such costs as a percent of net sales decreased to 5.8% from 7.1%, mainly reflecting the Company’s higher net sales. About $0.7 million of the year-over-year increase in ER&D expenses was due to the incremental costs of ER&D activities associated with the Company’s January 2003 acquisition of the assets of Electrol Specialties Company and its February 2003 acquisition of Asyst Technologies, Inc.’s wafer and reticle carrier product lines. In addition, $1.1 million and $0.3 million of the increase reflected the 16 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Test No. _____________________________________________________________ Page ____ of _____ 36 16 ENTEGRIS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Subject _______________________________________ Company’s investment in the development of its fuel cell, and tape and reel technologies, respectively. The Company ER&D efforts continued to focus on the support of current product lines, and the development of new products and manufacturing technologies. Interest income, net The Company reported net interest income of $0.3 million in 2004 compared to $0.6 million in 2003. The decline reflects the lower rates of interest available on the Company’s investments in short-term debt securities compared to the year-ago period. Operating income (loss) Operating income, stated as a percent of net sales, was 10.0% for fiscal 2004, compared to an operating loss, stated as a percent of net sales, of 0.4% in fiscal 2003. The improvement in 2004 was mainly due to the leverage associated with increased sales levels, the effect of which was slightly offset by higher SG&A and ER&D expenses as described above. Other (income) expense, net Other income was $1.1 million in fiscal 2004 compared to other expense of $4.4 million in fiscal 2003. Other income in fiscal 2004 included gains of $1.1 million associated with the sale of an aggregate 512,800 shares of Metron Technology N.V. (Metron) common stock made period- ically over the course of fiscal 2004. Other expense in 2003 included an impairment loss of $4.5 million, or $3.3 mil- lion after tax, related to the write-down of the Company’s equity investment in Metron common stock. The Company, a founding shareholder of Metron, owned about 1.6 million shares of Metron common stock throughout 2003. Prior to the impairment charge, the Company’s investment in Metron Technology N.V. com- mon stock had a cost basis of $7.6 million. At November 30, 2002, the fair value of the investment was $3.1 million, based on a price of $2.00 per share, the clos- ing price of Metron at that date. The decline in fair value was determined to be other-than-temporary. Accordingly, an impairment loss of $4.5 million was recorded and the investment in Metron common stock written down to a new cost basis of $3.1 million. Income tax expense (benefit) The Company recorded income tax expense of $11.1 million for fiscal 2004 compared to an income tax benefit of $6.2 million in fiscal 2003. The main factor contributing to this variance is the Company’s improvement in earnings from operations. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2004 was 31.0% compared to (129.4%) in fiscal 2003. The Company’s effective tax rate in fiscal 2004 is lower than the statutory federal rate of 35% in the United States due to lower taxes on foreign operations, a tax benefit associated with export activities, and a tax credit associated with research and development activities. The income tax benefit for fiscal 2003 includes one-time benefits of $0.9 million from the redetermination of prior years’ taxes, $1.4 million from the reversal of a valuation allowance on the net operating loss carryforwards of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries, and $1.2 million related to the impairment loss recorded on the Company’s investment in Metron stock, as well as benefits associated with the factors noted above related to fiscal 2004. Based on the current analysis of its tax situation, the Company anticipates its effective tax rate for fiscal 2005 to be approximately 32%. However, tax calculations are complex and sensitive to estimates of annual levels of profitability. Therefore, it is possible that there will be volatility in the Company’s tax rate. In addition, the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (“the Act”) was passed in October 2004 and included numerous law changes that will affect the Company’s tax computations. The provisions of the Act include a new deduction for U.S.manufacturers, the repeal of the extraterritorial income exclusion and a provision regarding the repatriation of foreign earnings. The Company is study- ing the new law to determine what impact, if any, the Act will have on its effec- tive tax rate. Net income The Company recorded net income of $24.8 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, in fiscal 2004, compared to net income of $1.3 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, in the year-ago period. FISCAL 2003 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2002 Net sales Net sales increased 13% to $251.1 million in fiscal 2003 from $223.0 million in fiscal 2002. The increase reflected some improvement in the difficult business conditions that affected the semiconductor industry since the latter half of fiscal 2001. In addition, sales from acquired businesses and improved sales associated with the Company’s efforts to expand its materials integrity management expertise into new applications and new markets resulted in improved sales. The following table summarizes total net sales by markets served for 2003 and 2002, along with the year-to-year percentage change: (In thousands) Net sales Semiconductor Data storage Services Other 2003 2002 Change $191,405 $178,272 7% 31,221 20,354 8,124 25,191 17,534 2,000 24 16 306 $251,104 $222,997 13% The semiconductor market generated about 76% of the Company’s overall sales for 2003, compared to about 80% in the prior year. Sales of semiconductor products rose by 7% from 2002 to 2003. Sales for the Company’s microenviron- ment products doubled over the prior year, which included sales from the wafer and reticle carrier product line acquired in the second quarter. This factor accounted for most of the overall increase in semiconductor market sales. Sales of wafer handling process products fell slightly year over year, as did sales of chemical containers. The Company’s data storage products accounted for about 12% of consolidated net sales in 2003, compared to 11% a year ago. Key customers in the industry implemented form-factor and process changes during the latter part of 2003, the major factor behind the 24% increase in sales. Service business revenue, which accounted for about 8% of Entegris’ overall sales, rose 16% compared to fiscal 2002. This increase reflects growth in both the Company’s sales of equipment, used to clean wafer and disk carriers and ship- ping products, and sales of its on- and off-site cleaning services. About 3% of overall sales for the year were generated in the life sciences market. Sales increased by 283% from fiscal 2002, about three-quarters of which was due to sales recorded by Electrol Specialties, a market leader in clean-in-place tech- nology, which was acquired by the Company in January 2003. On a geographic basis, Entegris’ total sales in North America were 41%, in Asia Pacific 26%, in Europe 17% and in Japan 16%. Year-to-year sales comparisons saw solid sales gains in Europe, Japan and Asia Pacific with essentially flat sales reported for North America. Gross profit Gross profit in fiscal 2003 increased 11% to $98.7 million, compared to $88.7 million in fiscal 2002. Fiscal 2003 gross margin was 39.3%, compared to 39.8% in 2002. With the 13% increase in sales from 2002 to 2003, the Company typically would have expected a higher gross margin for the year. However, several factors com- bined to offset the benefit of the higher utilization of the Company’s production capacity, many of them significantly affecting the Company in the fourth quar- ter. During the fourth quarter, the Company began the process of moving a portion of its manufacturing to a build-to-order model, which enabled the reduc- tion of inventory. However, these actions led to significant under-absorption of fixed manufacturing costs during the quarter, accounting for approximately $2.2 million in reduced gross profit. ENTEGRIS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Subject _______________________________________ MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Test No. _____________________________________________________________ Page ____ of _____ 17 36 17 Among other factors was the consolidation of several facilities as the Company moved its polymer material manufacturing operation from Texas to Malaysia, relocated its Upland, California operations to Chaska, Minnesota and consolidat- ed its cleaning equipment operations into the Gilroy, California service center. Fiscal 2003 also included transition costs of approximately $1.0 million related to the integration of the wafer and reticle carrier product line acquisition. Also negatively influencing margins were stronger sales in services and life sciences, two of the Company’s new markets, where gross margins for such products and services are below those of the semiconductor and data storage markets. Partly offsetting the declines was the benefit of the Company’s actions in reduc- ing fixed costs and increasing manufacturing efficiencies associated with the closure of manufacturing plants, investing in automation, continuing process improvements and instituting manufacturing Centers of Excellence. Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) SG&A expenses increased by $6.7 million, or 9%, to $80.3 million in fiscal 2003 from $73.6 million in fiscal 2002. SG&A costs, as a percent of net sales, decreased to 32.0% from 33.0% with the impact of higher SG&A expenses more than offset by the effect of higher net sales. The year-to-year increase in SG&A expenses is due to a number of factors, including higher sales commissions, incentive compensation and amor- tization expense. In addition, fiscal 2003 included costs associated with the Company’s two fiscal 2003 acquisitions, and the transition to a direct sales model in Japan for certain products previously sold under a distribution relationship. Other charges During the first quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $1.8 million related to the relocation of its Upland, California operations and certain workforce reductions. The charge included $0.9 million in termination costs related to a workforce reduction of approximately 75 employees, $0.4 million for estimated losses for asset impairment and $0.5 mil- lion for future lease commitments on the Upland facility. The Company record- ed a pre-tax benefit of $0.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2003 associated with the favorable settlement of a portion of the future lease commitments included in the aforementioned charge. In 2002, the Company’s results included a charge of $4.0 million in connection with the closure of its Chanhassen, Minnesota plant. The charge included $1.5 million in termination costs related to a workforce reduction of 230 employees and $2.3 million for estimated losses for asset impairment. The Company recorded pre-tax benefits of $1.6 million and $0.8 million in the third and fourth quarters of 2002, respectively, associated with the reversal of previous accruals related to plant closures in 2002 and 2001. Approximately $1.0 million of the reversals was associated with the favorable settlement of future lease commitments on the Castle Rock facility, for which the Company had recorded accruals in 2001. Lower than expected impairment costs accounted for approximately $1.2 million of the reversals. As of August 30, 2003, $0.7 million remained outstanding in connection with the aforementioned charges and are primarily related to severance payments of $0.5 million, which run through May 2004, and lease commitments of $0.2 million, which run through July 2005. Engineering, research and development expenses (ER&D) ER&D expenses increased 2% to $17.8 million, or 7.1% of net sales, in 2003 as compared to $17.4 million, or 7.8% of net sales, in 2002. The Company’s ER&D activities continue to focus on the support of current product lines, and the development of new prod- ucts and manufacturing technologies. The Company’s ER&D expenses for the last half of the year included $0.6 million related to the addition of employees hired in connection with the Company’s second-quarter acquisition of Asyst Technologies, Inc.’s wafer and reticle carrier product lines. Interest income, net The Company reported net interest income of $0.6 million in 2003 compared to $1.5 million in 2002. The decline reflects the significantly lower rates of interest available on the Company’s investments in short-term debt securities compared to the year-ago period as well as slightly lower invested balances. Other expense (income), net Other expense was $4.4 million in fiscal 2003 compared to other income of $1.0 million in fiscal 2002. Other expense in 2003 included an impairment loss of $4.5 million, or $3.3 mil- lion after tax, related to the write-down of the Company’s equity investment in Metron Technology N.V. common stock. The Company, a founding shareholder of Metron, owned about 1.6 million shares of Metron common stock throughout 2003. Prior to the impairment charge, the Company’s investment in Metron Technology N.V. common stock had a cost basis of $7.6 million. At November 30, 2002, the fair value of the investment was $3.1 million, based on a price of $2.00 per share, the closing price of Metron at the end of the first quarter. The decline in fair value was determined to be other-than-temporary. Accordingly, an impair- ment loss of $4.5 million was recorded and the investment in Metron common stock written down to a new cost basis of $3.1 million. Other income in 2002 consisted primarily of the foreign currency gains, with about $0.7 million associated with the realization of translation gains realized upon the liquidation of the Company’s Korean entity. Income tax benefit The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $6.2 mil- lion for fiscal 2003 compared to an income tax benefit of $3.4 million in fiscal 2002. The income tax benefit for fiscal 2003 includes one-time benefits of $0.9 million from the redetermination of prior years’ taxes, $1.4 million from the reversal of a valuation allowance on the net operating loss carryforwards of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries, and $1.2 million related to the impairment loss recorded on the Company’s investment in Metron stock. The reversal of the valuation allowance was based on a partial realization of the net operating loss carryforwards during fiscal 2003 and the current belief that sufficient taxable earnings will be generated in the future to allow the remaining net operating losses to be utilized. The income tax benefit for fiscal 2002 included a one-time benefit of $1.4 million related to the repatriation of earnings from certain non- U.S. subsidiaries. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2003 was 129.4% compared to 241.8% in fiscal 2002. The difference between the fiscal 2003 effective tax rate of 129.4% and the U.S. statutory rate of 35% is primarily due to the one-time bene- fits described above, lower taxes on foreign operations, a tax benefit associated with export activities and a tax benefit associated with R&D activities. Equity in net loss of affiliates The Company’s equity in the net loss of affiliates was $0.1 million in 2003 and represents the Company’s share of losses in entities accounted for under the equity method of accounting. No equity in the net earn- ings of affiliates was recorded in fiscal 2002 as the Company did not have entities under the equity method of accounting during that period. Minority interest The Company recorded no minority interest in 2003 as all of its consolidated subsidiaries are presently 100%-owned. For fiscal 2002, the minority interest in subsidiaries’ net loss was $0.8 million, reflecting the net losses of the Company’s formerly 51%-owned Japanese subsidiaries, which became 100%-owned in February 2002. Net income The Company recorded net income of $1.3 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, in fiscal 2003, compared to net income of $2.8 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in the year-ago period. QUARTERLY RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The table on the next page presents selected data from the Company’s consoli- dated statements of operations for the eight quarters ended August 28, 2004. This unaudited information has been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this annual report.

Working capital stood at $199.7 million at August 28, 2004, including $75.5 mil- lion in cash and cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $57.7 million. In the first quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company’s results included an impairment loss, classified as other expense, of $4.5 million related to the write-down of an equity investment. Also in the first quarter of 2003, the Company recorded a pre- tax charge of $1.8 million primarily related to the relocation of its Upland, California operations. In the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company recorded pre- tax benefits of $0.2 million, associated with adjustment of the aforementioned pretax charge related to the plant relocation. Our quarterly results of operations have been, and will likely continue to be, sub- ject to significant fluctuations due to a variety of factors, a number of which are beyond the Company’s control. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company has historically financed its operations and capital requirements through cash flow from operating activities, long-term loans, lease financing and borrowings under domestic and international short-term lines of credit. In fiscal 2000, Entegris raised capital via an initial public offering. Operating activities Cash flow provided by operating activities totaled $48.1 million, $32.1 million and $32.9 million in fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Cash flow provided by operating activities in 2004 mainly reflected the Company’s net earnings, combined with various noncash charges, including depreciation and amortization of $25.5 million. Such items were partly offset by the impact of working capital demands. Accounts receivable increased by $20.8 million, reflecting the growth in sales in 2004. Days sales outstanding decreased from 68 days at the beginning of the year to 64 days at the end of the year. Inventories increased by $6.3 million over the fiscal 2003 year-end balance. The increase reflected the higher raw material, work-in-process and semi-finished inventories required by the Company’s increased sales and production activity. Partly offsetting the working capital increases for receivables and inventory, accounts payable and accrued liabilities rose by $15.0 million from August 30, 2003, and were mainly associated with the Company’s increased production activi- ty and its improved sales and earnings. In addition, accrued taxes rose by $5.7 million, mainly reflecting the higher taxes owed resulting from the Company’s improved profitability. QUARTERLY STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS DATA Investing activities Cash flow used in investing activities totaled $55.5 million, $37.5 million and $38.3 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Acquisition of property and equipment totaled $21.2 million, $13.4 million and $19.6 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Capital expenditures in 2004 included investments in manufacturing, tooling, computer and laboratory equipment as well as a facility expansion in Japan. The Company expects capital expenditures during fiscal 2005 to be about $25 million, consisting mainly of spending on facility expansions, manufacturing equipment, tooling and information systems. Acquisition of businesses totaled $5.1 million, $44.4 million and $8.9 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. In May 2004, the Company completed the acquisition of the assets of a precision parts cleaning business located in Montpellier, France, in a cash transaction for total consideration of $3.6 million. The transaction was made to expand the geographic reach of Entegris’ materi- als integrity management off-site cleaning services. Property and equipment and intangible assets, including goodwill, of approximately $2.6 million and $1.1 mil- lion, respectively, were recorded in connection with the transaction. The trans- action was accounted for by the purchase method. Accordingly, the Company’s consolidated financial statements include the net assets and results of opera- tions from the date of acquisition. The Company had purchases, net of maturities, of debt securities classified as short-term investments of $33.2 million during 2004. The Company made pur- chases, net of maturities, of $20.1 million and $8.0 million of short-term invest- ments in 2003 and 2002, respectively. Also, in fiscal 2004, the Company recorded proceeds of $2.2 million in connec- tion with its sale of 512,800 shares of Metron common stock as described previ- ously under the caption “Other income” and proceeds of $2.7 million from the sale of various equipment. Financing activities Cash provided by financing activities totaled $1.9 million, $11.0 million and $5.6 million in fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Company made payments of $19.5 million on borrowings and received pro- ceeds from new borrowings totaling $16.2 million in 2004. Included in these amounts was the conversion of 1 billion Japanese Yen, or approximately $9.2 mil- Fiscal 2003 Fiscal 2004 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 (In thousands) Net sales Gross profit Selling, general and administrative expenses Engineering, research and development expenses Operating profit (loss) Net income (loss) $ 54,249 21,878 18,922 4,073 (2,929) (5,642) $ 54,656 22,555 19,833 4,233 (1,511) 647 $ 70,665 30,472 20,264 4,683 5,525 3,957 $ 71,534 23,818 21,288 4,814 (2,070) 2,313 $ 68,676 27,529 21,044 4,603 1,882 1,637 $ 79,970 34,747 23,345 4,821 6,581 5,023 $ 98,624 44,409 25,525 5,343 13,541 9,175 $ 99,494 44,142 26,262 5,361 12,519 8,935 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 (Percent of net sales) Net sales Gross profit Selling, general and administrative expenses Engineering, research and development expenses Operating profit (loss) Net income (loss) 100.0% 40.3 34.9 7.5 (5.4) (10.4) 100.0% 41.3 36.3 7.7 (2.8) 1.2 100.0% 43.1 28.7 6.6 7.8 5.6 100.0% 33.3 29.8 6.7 (2.9) 3.2 100.0% 40.1 30.6 6.7 2.7 2.4 100.0% 43.5 29.2 6.0 8.2 6.3 100.0% 45.0 25.9 5.4 13.7 9.3 100.0% 44.4 26.4 5.4 12.6 9.0 ENTEGRIS, INC.

Also included was the first quarter payment of the final $5.0 million of the $14.0 million originally borrowed in February 2003 when the Company acquired the wafer and reticle carrier product line of Asyst Technologies, Inc. The Company recorded proceeds of $5.1 million, $6.7 million and $5.5 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, in connection with common shares issued under the Company’s stock option and stock purchase plans. As of August 28, 2004, the Company’s sources of available funds comprised $75.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, $57.7 million in short-term investments and various credit facilities. Entegris has an unsecured revolving credit agree- ment with two commercial banks with aggregate borrowing capacity of $40 mil- lion, with no borrowings outstanding at August 28, 2004, and lines of credit with six international banks that provide for borrowings of currencies for the Company’s overseas subsidiaries, equivalent to an aggregate of approximately $16.7 million. Borrowings outstanding on these lines of credit were approximate- ly $6.5 million at August 28, 2004. Under the unsecured revolving credit agreement, we are subject to, and are in compliance with, certain financial covenants including ratios requiring a fixed charge coverage of not less than 1.10 to 1.00 and a leverage ratio of not more than 2.25 to 1.00. In addition, we must maintain a calculated consolidated and domestic tangible net worth, which, as of August 28, 2004, are $232 million and $125 million, respectively, while also maintaining consolidated and domestic aggregate amounts of cash and short-term investments of not less than $75 mil- lion and $40 million, respectively. At August 28, 2004, the Company’s shareholders’ equity stood at $372.2 million, up $34.5 million from $337.7 million at the beginning of the year. The compo- nents of the increase included the Company’s net earnings, the proceeds and tax benefits associated with the issuance of shares issued under the Company’s stock option and stock purchase plans and increases in other comprehensive income totaling $1.0 million. The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents, short-term invest- ments, cash flow from operations and available credit facilities will be sufficient to meet its working capital and investment requirements for the next 12 months. However, future growth, including potential acquisitions, may require the Company to raise capital through additional equity or debt financing. There can be no assurance that any such financing would be available on commercially acceptable terms. The following table summarizes the maturities of the Company’s significant financial obligations: (In thousands) Long-term debt Operating leases Fiscal year ending: 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 Thereafter Total $ 1,492 1,370 4,797 1,030 8,544 3,157 $ 20,390 $ 3,605 2,557 1,743 1,234 1,013 1,388 $ 11,540 On June 9, 2003, the Company announced that it had filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As amended, up to 25 million shares of the Company’s common stock may be offered from time to time under the registration statement, including 17.5 million newly issued shares by Entegris and 7.5 million currently outstanding shares by certain shareholders of the Company. The Company stated that it would use the net proceeds from any future sale of new Entegris shares for general corporate purposes or to finance acquisitions. The Company would not receive any proceeds from any sale of shares by the selling shareholders. The shelf registration statement became effective as of May 19, 2004. The Company and the other selling shareholders have two years from that date to issue 25 million shares under the filing. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISKS Entegris’ principal financial market risks are sensitivities to interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company’s current exposure to interest rate fluctuations is not significant. Most of its long-term debt at August 28, 2004, carries fixed rates of interest. The Company’s cash equivalents and short-term investments are debt instruments with maturities of 12 months or less. A 100 basis point change in interest rates would potentially increase or decrease net income by approximately $0.8 million annually. The cash flows and earnings of the Company’s foreign-based operations are sub- ject to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage the foreign currency exchange rate risks asso- ciated with its foreign-based operations. At August 28, 2004, the company was party to forward contracts to deliver Japanese yen and euros with notional val- ues of approximately $14.0 million and $3.0 million, respectively. A hypothetical 10% change in the foreign currency exchange rates would potentially increase or decrease net income by approximately $3.0 million. The Company’s investment in Metron common stock is accounted for as an avail- able-for-sale security. Consequently, the Company’s financial position is exposed to fluctuations in the price of Metron stock. At August 30, 2004, the Company’s investment in Metron Technology N.V. common stock had a cost basis of $2.1 mil- lion with a fair value of $4.7 million. Accordingly, a 10% adverse change in Metron’s per share price would result in an approximate $0.5 million decrease in the fair value of the Company’s investment. IMPACT OF INFLATION The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared on a historical cost basis, which does not completely account for the effects of inflation. Material and labor expenses are the Company’s primary costs. The cost of poly- mers, its primary raw material, was essentially unchanged from one year ago. Entegris expects the cost of resins to increase in the upcoming fiscal year due to pricing surcharges implemented by some suppliers based on rising oil prices. Labor costs, including taxes and fringe benefits, rose slightly in fiscal 2004 and moderate increases also can be reasonably anticipated for fiscal 2005. Typically, the Company’s products are not sold under long-term contracts. Consequently, the Company can adjust its selling prices, to the extent allowed by competition, to reflect cost increases caused by inflation. 20 Test No. _______________________________________________________ CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS Page ____ of _____ 20 36 ENTEGRIS, INC.

AND SUBSIDIARIES Subject _______________________________________ (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation Entegris, Inc. (the Company) is a leading provider of materials integrity management solutions that protect and transport the critical materials used in the semiconductor and other high technology industries. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany profits, transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Fiscal Year The Company’s fiscal year is a 52-week or 53-week period ending on the last Saturday in August. Fiscal years 2004, 2003 and 2002 ended on August 28, 2004, August 30, 2003, and August 31, 2002, respectively, and are alternative- ly identified herein as 2004, 2003 and 2002. Fiscal 2002 included 53 weeks, while fiscal years 2003 and 2004 comprised 52 weeks. Basis of Presentation Certain amounts reported in previous years have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in con- formity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the report- ed amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and lia- bilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Stock-based Compensation The Company has two stock-based employee com- pensation plans. The Company accounts for these plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. The exercise price of the Company’s employee stock options generally equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant for all options granted, and thus, under APB No. 25, no compensation expense is recognized. The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-based Compensation. The accompanying table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation. (In thousands, except per share data) 2004 2003 2002 Net income, as reported $ 24,770 $ 1,275 $ 2,776 Add stock-based compensation expense included in reported net earnings Deduct stock-based compensation expense under the fair value based method for all awards 747 — — (7,955) (6,549) (5,126) Pro forma net income (loss) $ 17,562 $ (5,274) $ (2,350) Basic net earnings per share, as reported $ 0.34 $ 0.02 $ 0.04 Pro forma basic net earnings (loss) per share 0.24 (0.07) (0.03) Diluted net earnings per share, as reported Pro forma diluted net earnings (loss) 0.32 0.02 0.04 per share 0.23 (0.07) (0.03) The Company determined pro forma compensation expense under the provi- sions of SFAS No. 123 using the Black-Scholes pricing model and the following assumptions: 2004 2003 2002 Expected dividend yield 0% 0% 0% Expected stock price volatility 75.00% 77.16% 77.00% Risk-free interest rate Expected life 4.00% 8 years 3.75% 4.50% 8 years 10 years The weighted average fair value of options granted during 2004, 2003 and 2002 with exercise prices equal to the market price at the date of grant was $9.30, $5.06 and $6.88 per share, respectively. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments Cash and cash equiva- lents include cash on hand and highly liquid debt securities with original matu- rities of three months or less, which are valued at cost. Debt securities with orig- inal maturities greater than three months and remaining maturities of less than one year are classified and accounted for as held-to-maturity and recorded at amortized cost, and are included in short-term investments. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is deter- mined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Property, Plant, and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost and are depreciated principally on the straight-line method over the esti- mated useful lives of the assets. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and gains or losses are recognized in the same period. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred; significant additions and improvements are capitalized. Property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows. Investments The Company’s marketable equity investments are accounted for as available-for-sale. Accordingly, such securities are recorded at fair value, with any unrealized holding gains and losses, net of taxes, excluded from income, and recognized as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. The Company’s non- marketable investments are accounted for under either the cost or equity method of accounting, as appropriate. All equity investments are periodically reviewed to determine if declines in fair value below cost basis are other-than-temporary. Significant and sustained decreases in quoted market prices and a series of historical and projected oper- ating losses by investees are considered in the review. If the decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment loss is recorded and the investment written down to a new cost basis. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets of acquired businesses. The Company does not amortize goodwill, but tests for impairment at least annually. Other intangi- ble assets include, among other items, patents and unpatented technology and are amortized using the straight-line method over their respective estimated useful lives of 5 to 17 years. The Company reviews intangible assets for impair- ment annually or more frequently if changes in circumstances or the occurrence of events suggest the remaining value is not recoverable. Derivative Financial Instruments SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, requires the Company to record derivatives as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and to measure such instruments at fair value. Changes in fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in cur- rent results of operations or other comprehensive income, depending on whether the derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction. The Company periodically enters into forward foreign currency contracts to reduce exposures relating to rate changes in certain foreign currencies. Certain exposures to credit losses related to counterparty nonperformance exist. However, the Company does not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparties ENTEGRIS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Subject _______________________________________ NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Test No. ___________________________________________________________ 36 Page ____ of _____ 25 25 as they are large, well-established financial institutions. None of these derivatives is accounted for as a hedge transaction under the provisions of SFAS No. 133. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of forward foreign currency contracts are recorded as a component of net income. The fair values of the Company’s deriva- tive financial instruments are based on prices quoted by financial institutions for these instruments. The Company was a party to forward foreign currency con- tracts with notional amounts of $16.9 million and $19.0 million at August 28, 2004, and August 30, 2003, respectively. Foreign Currency Translation Except for certain foreign subsidiaries whose func- tional currency is the United States (U.S.) dollar, assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated from foreign currencies into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates. Income statement amounts are translated at the weighted aver- age exchange rates for the year. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in net income. For certain foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is the U.S. dollar, currency gains and losses resulting from translation are determined using a combination of current and historical rates and are reported as a component of net income. Revenue Recognition/Concentration of Risk Revenue and the related cost of sales are generally recognized upon shipment of the products. For certain customized precision cleaning equipment sales with installation and customer acceptance provisions, which constituted less than 3% of sales, revenue is recog- nized upon fulfillment of such provisions. The Company recognizes revenues from construction contracts for certain customized clean-in-place equipment, which constituted less than 3% of sales, under the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the cost-to-cost method. The Company provides for estimated returns and warranty obligations when the revenue is recorded. The Company sells its products throughout the world prima- rily to companies in the microelectronics industry. The Company performs continuing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. Letters of credit may be required from its customers in certain circum- stances. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts which management believes is adequate to cover losses on trade receivables. Certain materials included in the Company’s products are obtained from a single source or a limited group of suppliers. Although the Company seeks to reduce dependence on those sole and limited source suppliers, the partial or complete loss of these sources could have at least a temporary adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations. Furthermore, a significant increase in the price of one or more of these components could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations. The Company applies the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 00-10 (EITF 00-10), Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs. Through August 30, 2003, the Company historically classified shipping and handling costs as an offset to amounts billed to customers included in net sales. Effective with the application of EITF 00-10, $2.3 million and $3.2 million of shipping and handling costs were reclassified from net sales to cost of goods sold for 2003 and 2002, respectively. Income Taxes Deferred income taxes are provided in amounts sufficient to give effect to temporary differences between financial and tax reporting. The Company accounts for tax credits as reductions of income tax expense in the year in which such credits are allowable for tax purposes. The Company utilizes the asset and liability method for computing its deferred income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the temporary difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or set- tled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company intends to continue to reinvest its undistributed international earnings in its international operations; therefore, no U.S. tax expense has been recorded to cover the repatriation of such undistributed earnings. Comprehensive Income (Loss) Comprehensive income (loss) represents the change in shareholders’ equity resulting from other than shareholder investments and distributions. The Company’s foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Comprehensive income (loss) and the com- ponents of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are presented in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued EITF No. 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” This issue addresses certain aspects of the accounting for arrangements under which a company will perform multiple revenue-generating activities. In some arrangements, the different revenue-generating activities (deliverables) are sufficiently separable, and there exists sufficient evidence of their fair values to separately account for some or all of the deliverables (that is, there are separate units of accounting). In other arrangements, some or all of the deliverables are not independently functional, or there is not sufficient evidence of their fair values to account for them separately. This issue addresses when and, if so, how an arrangement involving multiple deliverables should be divided into separate units of accounting. This issue does not change otherwise applicable revenue recognition criteria. EITF No. 00-21 was applicable for the Company for revenue arrangements entered into beginning in fiscal 2004. The adoption of EITF No. 00-21 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In December 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46R (FIN 46R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, which addresses how a business enterprise should evaluate whether it has a controlling financial interest in an entity through means other than voting rights and accordingly should consolidate the entity. FIN 46R replaces FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, which was issued in January 2003. The Company is required to apply FIN 46R to variable interests in VIEs created after December 31, 2003. For variable interests in VIEs created before January 1, 2004, the Interpretation will be applied beginning on January 1, 2005. For any VIEs that must be consolidated under FIN 46R that were created before January 1, 2004, the assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interests of the VIE initially would be meas- ured at their carrying amounts with any difference between the net amount added to the balance sheet and any previously recognized interest being recog- nized as the cumulative effect of an accounting change. If determining the carry- ing amounts is not practicable, fair value at the date FIN 46R first applies may be used to measure the assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interest of the VIE. The Company has determined that it has no variable interest entities required to be con- solidated in the Company’s financial statements. The adoption of FIN 46R did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. The Statement clarifies the accounting for certain financial instruments that, under previous guidance, issuers could account for as equity. SFAS No. 150 requires that those instruments be classified as liabilities in statements of financial position. The Statement also includes required disclosures for financial instruments within its scope. This statement became effective for the Company during the first quarter of fiscal 2004, except for certain mandatorily redeemable financial instruments. The effective date of SFAS No. 150 has been deferred for certain mandatorily redeemable financial instruments. The Company does not currently have any finan- cial instruments that are within the scope of this Statement. 26 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Test No. ___________________________________________________________ Page ____ of _____ 26 36 ENTEGRIS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Subject _______________________________________ (2) ACQUISITIONS In May 2004, the Company completed the acquisition of a precision parts clean- ing business located in Montpellier, France, in a cash transaction for total con- sideration of $3.6 million. The transaction was made to expand the geographic reach of Entegris’ materials integrity management services. Property and equip- ment and intangible assets, including goodwill, of approximately $2.6 million and $1.1 million, respectively, were initially recorded in connection with the transaction. The Company is in the process of reviewing and finalizing its valua- tion of the tangible and intangible assets for the transaction. The effect on the Company’s results if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of each period presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations is not material. Entegris completed two acquisitions in fiscal 2003. In January 2003, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Electrol Specialties Co. (ESC) in a cash transaction for $6.9 million, which includes $1.5 million in con- tingent consideration recorded in 2004. ESC, an Illinois-based company, designs and fabricates clean-in-place (CIP) stainless steel systems to customers in the biopharmaceutical industry. Identifiable intangible assets and goodwill of approximately $1.0 million and $3.6 million, respectively, were recorded in con- nection with the transaction. Entegris retained ESC’s existing management team and employees, and continues to fabricate CIP products at ESC’s leased facility in Illinois. In February 2003, Entegris acquired the wafer and reticle carrier (WRC) prod- uct lines of Asyst Technologies, Inc., a California-based provider of integrated automation systems, in a cash transaction. The total acquisition cost for all assets associated with Asyst’s WRC product lines and intellectual property, including associated fees and expenses, was $39.1 million. Entegris hired key Asyst employees involved with the research and development of these product lines and moved the production of the purchased WRC product line to its Chaska, Minnesota, facilities. Identifiable intangible assets and goodwill of approximately $1.8 million and $33.9 million, respectively, were recorded in connection with the transaction. The identifiable intangible assets of $2.8 million recorded in connection with the 2003 acquisitions related to noncompete agreements, patents and customer relationships are being amortized over periods ranging up to five years. The Company completed two transactions in 2002. In August 2002, the Company acquired assets related to products serving the semiconductor tape and reel market for $2.0 million. Identifiable intangible assets of approximately $1.8 mil- lion, consisting principally of proprietary knowledge, were recorded in connec- tion with the transaction. In February 2002, the Company purchased the 49% minority interests held in its Fluoroware Valqua Japan K.K. and Nippon Fluoroware K.K subsidiaries for total consideration of $5.1 million. Identifiable intangible assets of approximately $1.3 million were recorded in connection with the transaction. Each of the above transactions was accounted for by the purchase method. Accordingly, the Company’s consolidated financial statements include the net assets and results of operations from the dates of acquisition.

The Company recorded asset impairment write- offs on molds and equipment of approximately $1.3 million, $1.2 million and $1.1 million for 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. In 2004, $0.4 million of impair- ments are included in Engineering, all other impairment losses are included in the Company’s cost of sales. (5) INVESTMENTS Investments include the Company’s equity ownership in Metron Technology N.V. (Metron), a publicly traded security. Metron is a leading global provider of mar- keting, sales, services and support solutions to semiconductor materials and equipment suppliers and semiconductor manufacturers. The Company’s invest- ment in Metron is accounted for as an available-for-sale security. At August 28, 2004, the Company owned approximately 1.1 million common shares of Metron with a market value of $4.7 million based on the closing price of $4.44 per share on the NASDAQ Stock Market. At August 28, 2004, the unrealized gain on mar- ketable securities was $1.5 million, net of taxes of $1.1 million. At August 30, 2003, the market value of the Company’s investment was $6.1 million, reflecting an unrealized gain of $1.7 million, net of tax expense of $1.2 million. On August 16, 2004, Metron announced that it had entered into a Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement (Purchase Agreement) with Applied Materials, Inc. (Applied), pursuant to which Applied would acquire the business assets of Metron. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Applied would pay approx- imately $85 million in cash to Metron for all of Metron's worldwide assets, and would assume certain Metron liabilities. Following the close of the proposed acquisition, Metron expects to pay cash distributions to shareholders in the range of approximately $4.74 to $4.80 per share, to be made in at least two cash distributions during the six-month period following the close of the transaction. The acquisition is subject to regulatory and Metron shareholder approval and other closing conditions and is expected to close by the end of the calendar year. In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company, along with other sig- nificant shareholders of Metron, entered into a voting agreement with Applied, and has delivered its proxy to Applied, pursuant to which we have agreed to vote our shares in favor of the approval of the Purchase Agreement. In 2004, the Company reported other income of $1.1 million ($0.7 million after taxes), on the sale of an aggregate 512,800 shares of Metron’s common stock. In the first quarter of 2003, the Company recorded an impairment loss, classified as other expense, of $4.5 million, or $3.3 million after taxes, related to the Company’s investment in Metron. Prior to the impairment charge, the Company held approximately 1.6 million shares of Metron stock with a cost basis of $7.6 million. At November 30, 2002, the fair value of the investment was $3.1 million, based on a price of $2.00 per share, the closing price of Metron at that date. The decline in fair value was determined to be other-than-temporary. Accordingly, an impairment loss was recorded and the investment in Metron common stock writ- ten down to a new cost basis of $3.1 million as of that date. ENTEGRIS, INC.

The charge included $1.5 million in termination costs related to a workforce reduction of 230 employees and $2.3 million for estimated losses for asset impairment. The Company recorded a pre-tax benefit of $2.4 million in 2002 related to the reversal of previous accruals made in 2002 as described above and accruals recorded in 2001 related to the closures of its Castle Rock, Colorado and Munmak, Korea facilities. Approximately $1.0 million of the reversal was associ- ated with the favorable settlement of future lease commitments on the Castle Rock facility, for which the Company had recorded accruals in 2001. Lower than expected impairment costs accounted for approximately $1.2 million of the reversals. As of August 28, 2004, future cash outlays of $0.1 million remained outstanding in connection with the aforementioned charges, and are primarily related to lease commitments, which run through July 2005.

No deferred tax liability has been provided on such earnings. If they were remitted to the Company, applicable U.S. federal and foreign withholding taxes would be partially offset by available foreign tax credits. During the years ended August 28, 2004, and August 30, 2003, respectively, $2.0 million and $3.2 million was added to additional paid-in capital in accordance with APB No. 25 reflecting the tax difference relating to employee stock option transactions. 30 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Test No. ___________________________________________________________ Page ____ of _____ 30 36 ENTEGRIS, INC.

Realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent on generating sufficient future taxable income and on the future reversal of taxable temporary differences. Although realization is not assured, the Company believes it is more likely than not that the benefit of these deferred assets will be realized. The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (“the Act”) was passed in October 2004 and included numerous law changes that will affect the Company’s tax compu- tations. The provisions of the Act include a new deduction for U.S.manufactur- ers, the repeal of the extraterritorial income exclusion and a provision regarding the repatriation of foreign earnings. The Company is studying the new law to determine what impact, if any, the Act will have on its effective tax rate. (16) SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Trust Entegris maintains an Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Trust (ESOT). The ESOT was amended to discontinue future contributions and to freeze participation in 1997. ESOT shares totaled 6,804,661 and 8,831,707 as of August 28, 2004, and August 30, 2003, respectively. Stock Option Plans In August 1999, Entegris, Inc. established the Entegris, Inc. 1999 Long-Term Incentive and Stock Option Plan (the 1999 Plan) and the Entegris, Inc. Outside Directors’ Stock Option Plan (the Directors’ Plan). The maximum aggregate number of shares that may be granted under the Plans as of August 28, 2004, is 15,000,000 and 1,000,000, respectively. Under the Directors’ Plan, each outside director is granted an option to purchase 15,000 shares upon the date the individual becomes a director. Annually, each outside director is automatically granted an option to purchase 9,000 shares. Options will be exercisable six months subsequent to the date of grant. Under both the 1999 Plan and the Directors’ Plan, the term of options shall be ten years and the exercise price for shares shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant of such option. During 2004, the Company awarded 220,000 restricted shares, net of current year forfeitures, of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the Entegris, Inc. 1999 Long-Term Incentive and Stock Option Plan. The value of such stock was established by the market price on the date of the grants and was recorded as deferred compensation in the amount of $2.8 million, which is shown as a reduction of shareholders’ equity in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The deferred compensation is being amortized ratably over the Option activity for the 1999 Plan and the Directors’ Plan is summarized as follows: 2004 2003 2002 (Shares in thousands) Options outstanding, beginning of year Granted Exercised Canceled Options outstanding, end of year Options exercisable, end of year Number of shares Option price Number of shares 8,080 1,012 (657) (167) $ 6.28 12.32 5.27 8.77 8,268 $ 7.05 5,058 $ 6.00 Option price $ 5.94 6.63 4.18 9.13 7,469 1,961 (1,163) (187) 8,080 $ 6.28 4,455 $ 5.29 Number of shares Option price 7,071 1,747 (1,222) (127) $ 4.94 8.39 3.25 10.05 7,469 $ 5.94 4,636 $ 4.37 Options available for grant, end of year 3,125 4,192 5,498 Options outstanding for the 1999 Plan and the Directors’ Plan at August 28, 2004, are summarized as follows: (Shares in thousands) Options outstanding Options exercisable Range of exercise prices Number outstanding Remaining contractual life Weighted-average exercise price Number exercisable Weighted-average exercise price $0.96 to $1.50 $3.15 $4.22 $5.90 $6.86 to $7.50 $7.53 to $8.25 $8.38 to $10.00 $10.19 to $12.00 $12.01 to $15.38 235 2,066 227 1,468 198 1,282 1,117 1,360 315 1.6 years 3.3 years 5.0 years 8.1 years 6.6 years 7.1 years 6.8 years 7.8 years 9.0 years $ 1.18 3.15 4.22 5.90 7.47 8.02 9.11 11.56 13.46 235 2,066 227 323 135 621 821 549 81 $ 1.18 3.15 4.22 5.90 7.49 8.02 9.18 11.11 13.63 ENTEGRIS, INC.

The remaining deferred compensation to be amortized in connection with the grants is shown as a reduction of shareholders’ equity in the accompanying consolidated finan- cial statements. Employee Stock Purchase Plan In March 2000, the Company established the Entegris, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). A total of 4,000,000 com- mon shares were reserved for issuance under the ESPP. The ESPP allows employees to elect, at six-month intervals, to contribute up to 10% of their com- pensation, subject to certain limitations, to purchase shares of common stock at the lower of 85% of the fair market value on the first day or last day of each six- month period. As of August 28, 2004, 745,861 shares had been issued under the ESPP. As of that date, plan participants had approximately $0.3 million withheld to purchase the Company’s common stock at the lower of 85% of the fair market value on the first day or last day of each six-month period ending December 31, 2004. Employees purchased 155,293, 167,471 and 167,097 shares at a weighted- average price of $10.34, $9.05 and $9.23 in 2004, 2003, and 2002 respectively. (17) 401(K) SAVINGS PLAN The Company maintains the Entegris, Inc. 401(k) Savings and Profit Sharing Plan (the 401(k) Plan) that qualifies as a deferred salary arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the Plan, eligible employ- ees may defer a portion of their pretax wages, up to the Internal Revenue Service annual contribution limit. Entegris matches 100% of employees’ contributions on the first 3% of eligible wages and 50% of employees’ contributions on the next 2% of eligible wages, or a maximum match of 4% of the employee’s eligible wages. In addition to the matching contribution, the Company’s board of directors may, at its discretion, declare a profit sharing contribution of up to 11% of eligible wages based on the company’s worldwide operating results. The employer profit shar- ing and matching contribution expense under the Plans was $3.9 million, $1.8 million, $1.0 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. (18) EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS) (19) SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company operates in one segment as it designs, develops, manufactures, markets and sells material integrity management products and services predom- inantly within the microelectronics industry. All products are sold on a world- wide basis.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the share amounts used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share: In 2004, 2003 and 2002, no single nonaffiliated customer accounted for 5% or more of net sales.

(In thousands) Interest Income taxes, net of refunds received 2004 $ 1,213 1,138 2003 2002 $ 1,192 (8,206) $ 1,209 (13,201) (21) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The carrying amount of cash equivalents, short-term investments and short- term debt approximates fair value due to the short maturity of those instru- ments. The fair value of long-term debt was estimated using discounted cash flows based on market interest rates for similar instruments and approximated its cost basis of $18.9 million at August 28, 2004. 32 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Test No. ___________________________________________________________ Page ____ of _____ 32 36 ENTEGRIS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Subject _______________________________________ (22) RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS (23) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES Leases Through 2002, the Company leased office space and production facilities under various operating leases from entities related to a major shareholder of the Company. The Company was required to pay for all real estate taxes, utilities and other operating expenses. Rent paid relating to these agreements totaled $0.3 million for 2002. The Company has no future obligations under any lease agreements with entities related to the shareholder. In May 2002, the Company paid $500,000 as consideration for the early termina- tion and buyout of future lease commitments on the Castle Rock facility, which was leased from an entity related to the shareholder, as described in Note 12 under the caption “Other Charges.” Metron Technology N.V. As described in Note 5 under the caption “Investments”, the Company owned approximately 1.1 million shares of Metron at August 28, 2004. Metron is considered an affiliate. Sales to Metron under cur- rent and previous distribution agreements were $32.2 million, $19.6 million and $16.3 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Trade accounts receivable relating to these sales as of August 28, 2004 and August 30, 2003 were $4.8 mil- lion and $4.0 million, respectively. On September 9, 2002, Lucent Technologies, Inc. named the Company as a defendant along with Poly-Flow Engineering Inc., FSI International, Inc. and BOC Capital Group in an action filed in circuit court in Orange County, Florida for damages arising from a chemical spill at its facility in January 2000. To date, Lucent has requested aggregate damages from all defendants in the range of $52 million, and has specifically requested damages of $12 million from the Com- pany. While the outcome of this matter cannot be predicted with any certainty, based on the information to date, the Company believes that it has valid defenses to the claims and, furthermore, has adequate insurance to cover any damages assessed against the Company and as such, does not believe that the matter will have a material adverse effect on its financial position, operating results or cash flows. In addition, from time to time, the Company is a party to various legal proceed- ings incidental to its normal operating activities. Although it is impossible to predict the outcome of such proceedings, facts currently available indicate that no such claims will result in losses that would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consoli- dated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and per- form the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence sup- porting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

All are positive indicators of Entegris’ strength. We successfully leveraged our materials integrity management expertise across multiple markets. And we are extending our expertise into new, but related, areas which will ultimately drive opportunities for the company. Across the board, we have maintained or gained market share in almost every major area we serve. This underscores the value we bring to our customers and our ability to differentiate Entegris from our competition, and should prove to our key stakeholders – customers, employees, suppliers and shareholders – that we are on the right track. James E. Dauwalter President and Chief Executive Officer Materials Integrity Management: Most materials that go into the manufacturing of today’s technologies need special care when being transported to or within a manufacturing facility. Materials integrity management is protecting and transporting these critical materials.
