NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Kulicke and Soffa Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”), with appropriate elimination of intercompany balances and transactions.

As of October 4, 2009, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 470.20, Debt, Debt With Conversion Options (“ASC 470.20”), which requires issuers of convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion to initially record the liability and equity components of the convertible debt separately. The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 470.20 on a retrospective basis for all prior periods presented (see Note 7).

On September 29, 2008, the Company completed the sale of its Wire business for net proceeds of $149.9 million to W.C. Heraeus GmbH (“Heraeus”). The financial results of the Wire business have been included in discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented (see Note 2).

Fiscal Year

Each of the Company’s first three fiscal quarters ends on the Saturday that is 13 weeks after the end of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter. The fourth quarter of each fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to September 30 th. The fiscal 2009 quarters ended on December 27, 2008, March 28, 2009, June 27, 2009 and October 3, 2009. The fiscal 2010 quarters end on January 2, 2010, April 3, 2010, July 3, 2010 and October 2, 2010. In fiscal years consisting of 53 weeks, the fourth quarter will consist of 14 weeks.

Nature of Business

The Company designs, manufactures and sells capital equipment and expendable tools as well as services, maintains, repairs and upgrades equipment, all used to assemble semiconductor devices. The Company’s operating results depend upon the capital and operating expenditures of semiconductor manufacturers and subcontract assemblers worldwide which, in turn, depend on the current and anticipated market demand for semiconductors and products utilizing semiconductors. The semiconductor industry is highly volatile and experiences downturns and slowdowns which have a severe negative effect on the semiconductor industry’s demand for semiconductor capital equipment, including assembly equipment manufactured and sold by the Company and, to a lesser extent, expendable tools such as those sold by the Company. These downturns and slowdowns have adversely affected the Company’s operating results. The Company believes such volatility will continue to characterize the industry and the Company’s operations in the future.

Basis of Presentation

The preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the interim consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates. Authoritative pronouncements, historical experience and assumptions are used as the basis for making estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited and, in management’s opinion, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of results for these interim periods. The interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 3, 2009, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which includes Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 27, 2008 and October 3, 2009, and the related Consolidated Statements of Operations, Cash Flows, and Changes in Shareholders’ Equity for each of the years in the three-year period ended October 3, 2009. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for any other interim period or for a full year.

Vulnerability to Certain Concentrations

Financial instruments which may subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk as of October 3, 2009 and April 3, 2010 consisted mainly of trade receivables. The Company’s trade receivables result primarily from the sale of semiconductor equipment, related accessories and replacement parts, and expendable tools to a relatively small number of large manufacturers in a highly concentrated industry. Write-offs of uncollectible accounts have historically not been significant; however, the Company closely monitors its customers’ financial strength to reduce the risk of loss.

The Company’s products are complex and require raw materials, components and subassemblies having a high degree of reliability, accuracy and performance. The Company relies on subcontractors to manufacture many of these components and subassemblies and it relies on sole source suppliers for some important components and raw material inventory.

The Company is also exposed to foreign currency fluctuations that impact the remeasurement of the net monetary assets of those operations whose functional currencies differ from their respective local currencies, most notably in Israel, Malaysia, Singapore and Switzerland. In addition, operations in these countries and in China have exposure related to the translation of their financial statements from their respective functional currencies to the U.S. dollar.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from its customers’ failure to make required payments. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. The Company is also subject to concentrations of customers and sales to a few geographic locations, which could also impact the collectibility of certain receivables. If global economic conditions deteriorate or political conditions were to change in some of the countries where the Company does business, it could have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, and the Company’s ability to realize the full value of its accounts receivable.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (on a first-in first-out basis) or market value. The Company generally provides reserves for obsolete inventory and for inventory considered to be in excess of demand. In addition, the Company typically records as accrued expense inventory purchase commitments in excess of demand. Demand is generally defined as eighteen months forecasted consumption for non-Wedge bonder equipment, twenty-four months consumption for Wedge bonder equipment and all spare parts, and twelve months consumption for expendable tools. The forecasted demand is based upon internal projections, historical sales volumes, customer order activity and a review of consumable inventory levels at customers’ facilities. The Company communicates forecasts of its future demand to its suppliers and adjusts commitments to those suppliers accordingly. If required, the Company reserves the difference between the carrying value of its inventory and the lower of cost or market value, based upon assumptions about future demand, market conditions and cyclical market changes. If actual market conditions are less favorable than projections, additional inventory reserves may be required.

Foreign Currency Translation

The majority of the Company’s business is transacted in U.S. dollars; however, the functional currencies of some of the Company’s subsidiaries are their local currencies. In accordance with ASC No. 830, Foreign Currency Matters (“ASC 830”), for a subsidiary of the Company that has a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, gains and losses resulting from the translation of the functional currency into U.S. dollars for financial statement presentation are not included in determining net income (loss), but are accumulated in the cumulative translation adjustment account as a separate component of shareholders’ equity (accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)). Under ASC 830, cumulative translation adjustments are not adjusted for income taxes if they relate to indefinite investments in non-U.S. subsidiaries. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income (loss).

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with ASC No. 605, Revenue Recognition, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, the collectibility is reasonably assured, and it has completed its equipment installation obligations and received customer acceptance, when applicable, or is otherwise released from its installation or customer acceptance obligations. In the event terms of the sale provide for a customer acceptance period, revenue is recognized upon the expiration of the acceptance period or customer acceptance, whichever occurs first. The Company’s standard terms are Ex Works (the Company’s factory), with title transferring to its customer at the Company’s loading dock or upon embarkation. The Company has a small percentage of sales with other terms, and revenue is recognized in accordance with the terms of the related customer purchase order. Revenue related to services is recognized upon performance of the services requested by a customer order. Revenue for extended maintenance service contracts with a term more than one month is recognized on a prorated straight-line basis over the term of the contract.

Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are recognized in net revenue. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales.

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are determined using the liability method in accordance with ASC No. 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount it expects is more likely than not to be realized. While the Company has considered future taxable income and its ongoing tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, if it were to determine that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of its net recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase income in the period such determination was made. Likewise, should the Company determine it would not be able to realize all or part of its net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would decrease income in the period such determination was made.

In accordance with ASC No. 740 Topic 10, Income Taxes, General (“ASC 740.10”), the Company utilizes a two-step approach for evaluating uncertain tax positions. Step one or recognition, requires a company to determine if the weight of available evidence indicates a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. Step two or measurement, is based on the largest amount of benefit, which is more likely than not to be realized on settlement with the taxing authority.

Earnings per Share

Earnings per share (“EPS”) are calculated in accordance with ASC No. 260, Earnings per Share. Basic EPS include only the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS include the weighted average number of common shares and the dilutive effect of stock options, restricted stock and share unit awards and subordinated convertible notes outstanding during the period, when such instruments are dilutive.

In accordance with ASC No. 260.10.55, Earnings per Share - Implementation & Guidance (“ASC 260.10.55”), the Company treats all outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends as participating in undistributed earnings with common shareholders. Awards of this nature are considered participating securities and the two-class method of computing basic and diluted earnings per share must be applied. The Company adopted ASC 260.10.55 on October 4, 2009 and, if necessary, will retrospectively adjust prior period earnings per share (see Note 11).

Equity-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for equity based compensation under the provisions of ASC No. 718, Compensation, Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires the recognition of the fair value of equity-based compensation in net income. The fair value of the Company’s stock option awards are estimated using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. Compensation expense associated with market-based restricted stock is determined using a Monte-Carlo valuation model, and compensation expense associated with time-based and performance-based restricted stock is determined based on the number of shares granted and the fair value on the date of grant. In addition, the calculation of equity-based compensation costs requires that the Company estimate the number of awards that will be forfeited during the vesting period. The fair value of equity-based awards is amortized over the vesting period of the award and the Company elected to use the straight-line method for awards granted after the adoption of ASC 718.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities

In December 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-17, Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities (“ASU 2009-17”). ASU 2009-17 clarifies the application of consolidation guidance for variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the party with the controlling financial interest might not be solely identified through voting rights. ASU 2009-17 amends the guidance for determining the accounting model of VIEs from a quantitative analysis to a qualitative analysis. The amended guidance was effective in December of 2009. ASU 2009-17 will not impact the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial position.

NOTE 2 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On September 29, 2008, the Company completed the sale of certain assets and liabilities associated with its Wire business. The Company recognized net proceeds of $149.9 million and a net gain of $22.7 million, net of tax, during the six months ended March 28, 2009. The Company did not recognize any income or loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 28, 2009, or the three and six months ended April 3, 2010.

NOTE 3 – COST REDUCTION PLAN

On February 15, 2010, the Company committed to a plan to reduce its Irvine, California workforce by approximately 56 employees over a period of approximately 26 months. As part of this workforce reduction plan, substantially all of the Company's California-based wedge bonder manufacturing will be transferred to the Company's manufacturing facilities in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Singapore. Certain administrative functions will also be transferred to Malaysia and Singapore. Management determined that it was in the best interests of the Company to reduce costs by migrating production and certain administrative functions from California to Asia.

With respect to the California-based wedge bonder transfer to Asia, the Company anticipates $2.0 million of additional pre-tax expense, consisting of $1.4 million of severance and $0.6 million of retention costs. The Company expects substantially all of this expense to be incurred by the end of the second fiscal quarter of 2011, with corresponding cash payments to be incurred beginning in the first fiscal quarter of 2011 and ending in the first fiscal quarter of 2013.

During fiscal 2009, the Company committed to a plan to reduce its Israel-based workforce by approximately 170 employees by the end of fiscal 2010. As part of this workforce reduction plan, substantially all of the Company’s Israel-based manufacturing has been transferred to the Company’s manufacturing facilities in Suzhou, China. The Company expects to incur approximately $0.4 million in additional severance costs and the amounts accrued are expected to be paid out over the next 6 months related to these cost reduction efforts. As part of the Israel-based manufacturing transition to China, during the three months ended April 3, 2010, the Company sold its facility in Israel and simultaneously entered into an agreement to leaseback a portion of the building for five years with an option to extend the lease. The Company realized a $0.7 million gain on the sale which will be recognized over the five year lease term.

Separately during fiscal 2009 due to the global economic downturn, the Company reduced its global workforce by approximately 20% of total employees which minimized cash usage and reduced employee compensation costs.

The following table reflects severance activity for all plans during the three and six months ended March 28, 2009 and April 3, 2010:

As business recovered during the first half of fiscal 2010 and demand for the Company’s products increased, the Company increased its number of employees primarily related to manufacturing. The Company expects to continue to consolidate certain of its operations from the United States and other areas to Asia. As these consolidation efforts are finalized in the future, the Company will incur significant severance costs; however, it expects to realize future benefits from these consolidation plans.

NOTE 4 – GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill

Intangible assets classified as goodwill are not amortized. An annual impairment test of the Company’s goodwill is performed during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, which coincides with the completion of its annual forecasting process. The Company performed its annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 and no impairment charge was required. In addition, the Company tests for impairment between annual tests if a “triggering” event occurs that may have the effect of reducing the fair value of a reporting unit below its respective carrying value.

The following table reflects goodwill as of October 3, 2009 and April 3, 2010:

(in thousands)	Equipment segment			Expendable Tools segment		Total

* As adjusted for ASC No. 470.20, Debt, Debt With Conversion Options.

1.0% Convertible Subordinated Notes

The Company’s 1.0% Notes are general obligations and are subordinated to all senior debt. The 1.0% Notes rank equally with the Company’s other Convertible Subordinated Notes. There are no financial covenants associated with the 1.0% Notes and there are no restrictions on incurring additional debt or issuing or repurchasing the securities.

0.875% Convertible Subordinated Notes

Holders of the 0.875% Convertible Subordinated Notes may convert their notes based on an initial conversion rate of approximately 69.6621 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes (equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $14.355 per share) only under specific circumstances. The initial conversion rate will be adjusted for certain events. The Company presently intends to satisfy any conversion of the 0.875% Convertible Subordinated Notes with cash up to the principal amount of the 0.875% Convertible Subordinated Notes and, with respect to any excess conversion value, with shares of its common stock. The Company has the option to elect to satisfy the conversion obligations in cash, common stock or a combination thereof.

The 0.875% Convertible Subordinated Notes will not be redeemable at the Company’s option. Holders of the 0.875% Convertible Subordinated Notes will not have the right to require us to repurchase their 0.875% Convertible Subordinated Notes prior to maturity except in connection with the occurrence of certain fundamental change transactions. The 0.875% Convertible Subordinated Notes may be accelerated upon an event of default as described in the Indenture and will be accelerated upon bankruptcy, insolvency, appointment of a receiver and similar events with respect to the Company.

As of October 4, 2009, the Company adopted ASC 470.20, which requires that issuers of convertible debt that may be settled in cash upon conversion record the liability and equity components of the convertible debt separately. The Company estimated the liability component of its 0.875% Convertible Subordinated Notes by assessing the fair value of debt instruments without an associated equity component issued by companies with similar credit ratings and terms at the time the Company’s 0.875% Convertible Subordinated Notes were issued. The effective interest rate for non-convertible debt with similar credit ratings and terms was assumed to be 7.85%. The Company determined the fair value of the equity component of the embedded conversion option by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the initial proceeds of the convertible debt instrument. The debt discount will be amortized under the effective interest method from the original issue date. The Company determined the portion of issuance costs associated with the equity component of the 0.875% Convertible Subordinated Notes was $1.0 million. The issuance costs are amortized under the effective interest method from the original issue date.

The liability component of the Company’s 0.875% Convertible Subordinated Notes will continue to be classified as long-term debt and the equity component of the 0.875% Convertible Subordinated Notes is classified as common stock on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

NOTE 8 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

Common Stock

As of October 4, 2009, the Company adopted ASC 470.20 and accordingly common stock includes the equity component of the Company’s 0.875% Convertible Subordinated Notes (see Note 7).

In August 2009, the Company sold 8.0 million shares of its common stock in an underwritten public offering for net proceeds of $38.7 million.

On October 3, 2008, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets and assumption of certain liabilities of Orthodyne Electronics Corporation (“Orthodyne”). In connection with the Orthodyne acquisition, the Company issued 7.1 million common shares with an estimated value on that date of $46.2 million and paid $87.0 million in cash including capitalized acquisition costs.

Equity-Based Compensation

As of April 3, 2010, the Company had eight equity-based employee compensation plans (the “Employee Plans”) and three director compensation plans (the “Director Plans”) (collectively, the “Plans”). Under these Plans, stock options, performance-based share awards (collectively, “performance-based restricted stock”), time-based share awards (collectively, “time-based restricted stock”), market-based share awards (collectively, “market-based restricted stock”) or common stock have been granted at 100% of the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

In general, stock options and time-based restricted stock awarded to employees vest annually over a three year period provided the employee remains employed. The Company follows the non-substantive vesting method for stock options and recognizes compensation expense immediately for awards granted to retirement eligible employees, or over the period from the grant date to the date retirement eligibility is achieved.

Performance-based restricted stock entitles the employee to receive common shares of the Company on the three-year anniversary of the grant date (if employed by the Company) if return on invested capital and revenue growth targets set by the Management Development and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors on the date of grant are met. If return on invested capital and revenue growth targets are not met, performance-based restricted stock does not vest.

Market-based restricted stock entitles the employee to receive common shares of the Company on the award vesting date, if market performance objectives which measure relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) are attained. Relative TSR is calculated based upon the 90-calendar day average price of the Company’s stock as compared to specific peer companies that comprise the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index. TSR is measured for the Company and each peer company over a performance period, which is generally three years. Vesting percentages range from 0% to 200% of awards granted. The provisions of the market-based restricted stock are reflected in the grant date fair value of the award; therefore, compensation expense is recognized regardless of whether or not the market condition is ultimately satisfied. Compensation expense is reversed if the award forfeits prior to the vesting date.

Equity-based compensation expense recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended March 28, 2009 and April 3, 2010 was based upon awards ultimately expected to vest. In accordance with ASC 718, forfeitures have been estimated at the time of grant and were based upon historical experience. The Company reviews the forfeiture rates periodically and makes adjustments as necessary.

The following table reflects stock options, restricted stock and common stock granted during the three and six months ended March 28, 2009 and April 3, 2010:

	Three months ended				Six months ended

Equity-based compensation expense	$	658	$	1,709	$	(14	)	$	2,813

As the global economy improved during the three months ended April 3, 2010, the Company determined performance objectives for the performance-based restricted stock issued in fiscal 2007 and 2008 would improve. Accordingly, estimated attainment percentages increased and total compensation expense for the performance-based restricted stock also increased for the three months ended April 3, 2010. During the prior year in connection with the global economic decline during the six months ended March 28, 2009, the Company determined performance objectives for the performance-based restricted stock issued in fiscal 2007 and 2008 would not be attained at the previous estimated levels. In accordance with ASC 718, by lowering estimated attainment percentages, total compensation expense for the performance-based restricted stock decreased and previously recorded compensation expense was reversed during fiscal 2009.

The following table reflects total equity-based compensation expense (reversal of expense), which includes stock options, restricted stock and common stock, included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations during the three and six months ended March 28, 2009 and April 3, 2010:

401(k) Retirement Income Plan

The Company has a 401(k) retirement income plan for its employees. During fiscal 2009 and prior years, the Plan allowed for employee contributions and matching Company contributions in varying percentages, ranging from 50% to 175% up to 6% of the employee’s contributed amount based upon employee age and years of service. During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the Plan was modified to allow for employee contributions and matching Company contributions up to 4% or 6% of the employee’s contributed amount based upon years of service.

The following table reflects the Company’s matching contributions to the 401(k) retirement income plan which were made in the form of issued and contributed shares of Company common stock during the three and six months ended March 28, 2009 and April 3, 2010:

* As adjusted for ASC No. 470.20, Debt, Debt With Conversion Options.

For the six months ended April 3, 2010, the effective income tax rate related to continuing operations differed from the federal statutory rate primarily due to: decreases in the valuation allowance, Federal alternative minimum taxes, state income taxes, tax from foreign operations, impact of tax holidays, an increase in deferred taxes for un-remitted earnings and other U.S. current and deferred taxes.

For the six months ended March 28, 2009, the effective income tax rate related to continuing operations differed from the federal statutory rate primarily due to: increases in the valuation allowance, state income taxes, tax from foreign operations, impact of tax holidays, decreases in deferred taxes for un-remitted earnings, and decreases in tax reserves.

In October 2007, the tax authority in Israel issued the Company a preliminary assessment of income tax, withholding tax and interest of $34.3 million (after adjusting for the impact of foreign currency fluctuations) for fiscal 2002 through 2004. The Company provided a non-current income tax liability for uncertain tax positions on its Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 27, 2008 related to this assessment for fiscal years 2002 through 2007, as required under ASC 740. On December 24, 2008, the Company, through its Israel subsidiaries, entered into an agreement with the tax authority in Israel settling the tax dispute for approximately $12.5 million, which represented withholding taxes, income taxes, and interest related to fiscal 2002 through 2004. The settlement of $12.5 million was made net of a $4.5 million reimbursement resulting in a net cash payment of $7.8 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Following the payment and settlement of the audit for fiscal 2002 through 2004, the tax authorities in Israel examined the fiscal years 2005 and 2006. In addition during fiscal 2009, the Company made a payment of approximately $1.9 million related to income taxes and interest to settle the fiscal September 30, 2005 and 2006 assessment. As a result of the Israel tax settlements, the Company recognized a $12.5 million benefit from income taxes for fiscal 2009. The $12.5 million benefit was a result of reversing the liability for unrecognized tax benefits on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 27, 2008 that was in excess of the $14.4 million for which the matter was settled. The entire amount of the reversal impacted the Company’s effective tax rate as indicated above.

The U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) audited the Company for the period ended September 30, 2006. The Company responded to various information requests from the IRS and the audit was closed with no significant adjustments.

NOTE 11 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic income (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. In addition, net income applicable to participating securities and the related participating securities are excluded from the computation of basic income per share.

Diluted income per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and, if there is net income during the period, the dilutive impact of common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. In computing diluted income per share, if convertible debt is assumed to be converted to common shares, the after-tax amount of interest expense recognized in the period associated with the convertible debt is added back to net income.

The Company’s 0.875% Convertible Subordinated Notes would not result in the issuance of any dilutive shares, since the Notes are not convertible and the conversion option was not “in the money” as of March 28, 2009 or April 3, 2010. Accordingly, diluted EPS excludes the effect of the conversion of the 0.875% Convertible Subordinated Notes.

The following tables reflect reconciliations of the shares used in the basic and diluted net income (loss) per share computation for the three and six months ended March 28, 2009 and April 3, 2010:
