Certain information contained in this press release is
forward-looking in nature. All statements in this press release, or
made by management of Amtech Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries
("the Company" or "Amtech"), other than statements of historical
fact, are hereby identified as "forward-looking statements" (as
such term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933,

We cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statement will be

the forward-looking statements are reasonable. Achievement of
future results is subject to risks, uncertainties and potentially
inaccurate assumptions. The Form 10-K that we filed with the

financial condition and could cause actual results to differ
materially from historical results and expectations based on
forward-looking statements made in this document or elsewhere by
Amtech or on its behalf. These factors can be found under the
heading "Risk Factors" in the Form 10-K and investors should refer
to them. Because it is not possible to predict or identify
