Documents incorporated by reference:
Portions of the definitive Proxy Statement for Axcelis Technologies, Inc.s Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on May 3, 2006 are incorporated by reference into Part III of this Form 10-K.
We are filing this amendment to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 2006, solely for the purpose of complying with Regulation S-X, Rule 3-09. Rule 3-09 requires that Form 10-K, but not the annual shareholders report, contain separate financial statements for unconsolidated subsidiaries and investees accounted for by the equity method when such entities are individually significant.
We have determined that our 50% owned joint venture with Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd., known as SEN Corporation, an SHI and Axcelis Company (formerly known as Sumitomo Eaton Nova Corporation) (SEN), which is not consolidated in the Axcelis Technologies, Inc. financial statements (and is accounted for under the equity method) was significant under Rule 3-09 in relationship to the Axcelis Technologies, Inc. financial results for the year ended December 31, 2005. Since SENs fiscal year ended after the date of the filing of our Form 10-K, Rule 3-09 provides that the SEN financial statements may be filed as an amendment to our Form 10-K within 90 days after the end of SENs fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.
Therefore, this Form 10-K/A amends the following portions of the Axcelis Technologies Form 10-K filed on March 14, 2006:
· Item 8 is being amended by submitting the financial statements of SEN for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 (the SEN Financial Statements) as a separate section of this report immediately following Item 15;
· Item 15 is being amended to:
· include the list of the SEN Financial statements being filed herewith as required by Item 15(a); and
· add to the list of exhibits and exhibits filed in accordance with Item 601 of Regulation S-K an Exhibit 23.2, Consent of Ernst & Young - Independent Auditors relating to the SEN Financial Statements, as required by Item 15(c).
As required by Rule 3-09, we will determine with respect to each future fiscal year, whether SEN has been significant with respect to Axcelis financial results for such year, and file SEN financial statements as necessary to comply with Rule 3-09.
Item 15. Exhibits, Financial Statement Schedules

Report of Independent Auditors
The Board of Directors
SEN Corporation, an SHI and Axcelis Company
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of SEN Corporation, an SHI and Axcelis Company (the Company) as of March 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2006, all expressed in Japanese yen. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company at March 31, 2006 and 2005, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
As discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, effective July 1, 2003, the Company adopted the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-21, Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.

SEN Corporation, an SHI and Axcelis Company
Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2006
Note 1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
General
SEN Corporation, an SHI and Axcelis Company (the Company) was established on April 1, 1983 under the Commercial Code of Japan. The Company is owned equally by Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd. (SHI), a Japanese corporation, and Axcelis Technologies, Inc. (Axcelis), a U.S. corporation. The Company designs, manufactures, sells and repairs ion implantation equipment and semiconductor equipment primarily for Japanese semiconductor manufacturing customers under a license agreement with Axcelis.
The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary maintain their records and prepare their financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan. Certain adjustments and reclassifications have been incorporated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements to conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These adjustments were not recorded in the statutory books of account.
The Company changed the corporate name from Sumitomo Eaton Nova Corporation to SEN Corporation, an SHI and Axcelis Company effective on April 1, 2006.
Basis of Financial Statements
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Companys functional currency is the Japanese yen. Transaction gains and losses, which arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency, are included in the results of operations as incurred. Transaction gains and losses in each of the years in the three year period ended March 31, 2006 were not material.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements expressed in U.S. dollars have been prepared for use in conjunction with the preparation of the consolidated financial statements of Axcelis and have been translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate in effect at year-end. Statement of income items are translated using the average rates for the year. The effects of these translation adjustments are accumulated and included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a separate component of shareholders equity.
9
Cash Equivalents
All highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined by the average method.
Property, Plant and Equipments
Property, plant and equipment is stated on the basis of cost. Depreciation is computed by the declining-balance method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets (buildings 6 to 40 years; machinery 5 to 13 years; and furniture, fixtures and automobiles 2 to 20 years) except for buildings purchased after April 1, 1998, which are depreciated on the straight-line basis over 31 years.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment losses whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The assets would be considered impaired when the net undiscounted future cash flows generated by the assets are less than its carrying value. An impairment loss would be recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
At March 31, 2005 and 2006, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on a U.S. dollar basis was comprised of an accumulated foreign currency translation adjustment of U.S.$11,264 thousand and U.S.$(8,891) thousand, respectively.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments, which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of trade notes and accounts receivable. These financial instruments are carried at cost less an allowance for doubtful accounts, which approximates fair value. Substantially all of the Companys notes and accounts receivable are due from companies in the semiconductor industry located in Japan. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers financial condition and provides an allowance for specific doubtful notes and accounts receivable and generally does not require collateral to secure the notes and accounts receivable.
For the year ended March 31, 2004, two customers accounted for net sales of 21% and 13%. Three customers accounted for net sales of 17%, 13% and 10% for the year ended March 31, 2005. For the year ended March 31, 2006, three customers accounted for net sales of 19 %, 14%, and 13%, respectively.
At March 31, 2005 and 2006 accounts receivable from one customer approximated 14% and 17% of consolidated trade receivables, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
For revenue arrangements prior to July 1, 2003, the Company recognized sales at the later of the time of shipment to the customer or the transfer of risk of ownership (which is generally upon customer inspection for machinery sales to domestic customers). The cost of system installation at the customers site was accrued at the time of shipment for installation and acceptance testing performance obligations incurred at the time of sales. Management believes the customers post delivery acceptance provisions
10
and the installation process have been established to be routine, commercially inconsequential and perfunctory because the process is a replication of the pre-shipment procedures. The majority of the Companys systems are designed and tailored to meet the customers specifications as outlined in the contract between the customer and the Company. To ensure that the customers specifications are satisfied, per contract terms, the systems are tested at the Companys facilities prior to shipment, normally with the customer present, under conditions that substantially replicate the customers production environment and the customers criteria are confirmed to have been met. The Company has never failed to successfully complete a system installation. The Company has a demonstrated history of customer acceptance subsequent to shipment and installation of these systems.
In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Boards Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on Issue No. 00-21, Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables (EITF 00-21). This issue addresses the determination of whether an arrangement involving more than one deliverable contains more than one unit of accounting and how the arrangement consideration should be measured and allocated to the separate units of accounting. EITF 00-21 became effective for revenue arrangements entered into in periods beginning after June 15, 2003.
For revenue arrangements occurring on or after July 1, 2003, the Company has revised its revenue recognition policy to comply with the provisions of EITF 00-21. The Companys revenue transactions include sales of systems under multiple element arrangements. Revenue under these arrangements is allocated to all elements, except systems, based upon their estimated fair market value. The amount of revenue allocated to systems is calculated on a residual method. Under this method, the total value of the arrangement is allocated first to the undelivered elements based on the greater of the fair value of the undelivered elements or the portion of the sales price that will not be received until the elements are delivered, with the residual amount being allocated to systems revenue. The amount allocated to installation is based upon hourly rates and the estimated time to complete the service. The fair value of all other elements is based upon the price charged when these elements are sold separately. System revenue and installation revenue are generally recognized at the time of customer acceptance.
Service revenue includes revenue from spare parts, maintenance services and equipment overhaul services. Revenue related to maintenance service contracts is recognized ratably over the duration of the contracts. Revenue related to equipment overhauls is recognized upon completion of the service. Revenue related to spare parts is recognized upon the later of shipment or when title and risk of loss passes to the customer.
Under the provisions of EITF 00-21, the Company has accounted for this change in accounting principle on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements occurring on or after July 1, 2003. The impact of this change for the year ended March 31, 2004 was to decrease net income by \642,631. The pro-forma effect of this accounting change, had it been applied consistently for the year ended March 31, 2004 is as follows:

Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of products sold.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are expensed in the year in which such costs are incurred, except for costs relating to equipment
11
that is acquired or constructed for research and development activities and have alternative future uses.
Retirement Benefits
The cost of retirement benefits for seconded employees is incurred by and reimbursed to SHI (see Note 6). The provision for accrued employees retirement benefits represents the cost for employees who have been employed directly by the Company (see Note 9).
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2004 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 151 (SFAS 151) Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB 43, Chapter 4. SFAS 151 amends the guidance in ARB 43, Chapter 4, Inventory Pricing to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). SFAS 151 requires that idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs be recognized as current period charges. In addition, SFAS 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005, however early adoption is permitted for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after November 2004. The Company adopted SFAS 151 effective April 1, 2006. The adoption of SFAS 151 did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, which changes the requirements for the accounting and reporting of a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle as well as to changes required by an accounting pronouncement that does not include specific transition provisions. SFAS No. 154 requires that changes in accounting principle be retrospectively applied. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not believe adoption of this statement will have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

In 2005, the Company determined that certain machinery used in its research and development activities had no current or future use and was disposed of. As a result, the Company recorded a loss on disposal of ¥584 million, which was included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
Note 5. Product Warranty
The Company offers a one year warranty for all of its products, the terms and conditions of which vary depending upon the product sold. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its warranty and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time product revenue is recognized. Factors that affect the Companys warranty include the number of installed units, historical and anticipated product failure rates, material usage and service labor costs. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty and adjusts the amount as necessary.

Note 9. Employees and Directors Retirement Benefits
The Company has a defined benefit pension plan that covers substantially all employees, except for the seconded employees described in Note 6. Benefits under the plan are based on the employees compensation as of the date of retirement and years of
16
service. The Companys policy is to fund amounts which are actuarially determined to provide the plan with sufficient assets to meet future benefit payment requirements. Assets of the plan are invested in equity securities, debt securities, money market instruments, and insured products.
The Company had provided certain defined benefits to its statutory auditors and directors who were not statutory auditors, directors or employees of SHI, Axcelis or one of their affiliates. Such benefits were based on years of service, compensation at retirement and position. This plan was unfunded. In July 2005, the company terminated this plan. The benefit relating to the service period through July 2005 will be paid when the director or statutory auditor terminate the employment.
The measurement date used to determine the pension obligation for the benefit plan is December 31.
The reconciliation of beginning and ending balances of the projected benefit obligation and plan assets, and the funded status of the Companys plans are as follows:

The Companys investment strategy is to manage the assets of the plan to meet its long-term obligations while maintaining sufficient liquidity to pay current benefits. This is primarily achieved by holding equity-like investments while investing a portion of the assets in long duration bonds in order to match the long-term nature of the liabilities. The Company will periodically undertake an asset and liability modeling study if a material shift in the plans liability profile or changes in the capital markets call for such a study. The Companys weighted-average asset allocations for its defined benefit plan at March 31, 2005 and 2006, by asset category, are as follows:

Note 10. Shareholders Equity
The Commercial Code of Japan (Code) provides that an amount equal to at least 10% of the amount to be disbursed as a distribution of earnings be appropriated to the legal reserve until the total of such reserve and the additional paid-in capital account equals 25% of the common stock account. The Code also provides to the extent that the sum of additional paid-in capital account and the legal reserve account exceed 25% of the common stock account then the amount of the excess (if any) is available for appropriations by resolution of the shareholders.
Retained earnings available for dividends under the Code are based on the amount presented in the Companys non-consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in Japan. Under the Code, the amount of retained earnings available for dividends as of March 31, 2006 amounted to ¥25,039,352 thousand (U.S.$213 million).
