PART I

Item 1. Business.

We are a leading supplier of materials, equipment and related services used
worldwide in the manufacture of semiconductor devices. We specifically target
the "front-end" semiconductor materials market. This market includes the
processes used to convert a bare silicon wafer into a fully functional wafer
that contains many copies of a semiconductor device or "chip". To complete the
manufacturing process, this functional wafer is taken through a "back-end"
manufacturing process that includes wafer dicing into chips, packaging and
testing. Our customers include most of the leading semiconductor manufacturers
in the world, including Intel, Taiwan Semiconductor, Hyundai, Texas Instruments
and IBM.

We have further refined our market focus to target only specialty materials
used in front-end semiconductor manufacture. These specialty materials are used
in eight key process steps that are used repetitively to add functionality to a
silicon wafer. In recent years, the semiconductor industry has grown worldwide
and front-end manufacturing processes have become increasingly complex,
resulting in rapidly changing requirements for semiconductor materials. We have
capitalized on the growth of the semiconductor industry in general, and front-
end processing in particular, through:

. a comprehensive research and development program that has provided a stream
of proprietary and patented products for this market;

. a strategy of delivering a complete materials solution to our customers
including materials, packaging, delivery systems, sensing and abatement;
and

. an aggressive mergers and acquisitions effort that has allowed us to more
rapidly move towards one-stop purchasing for our customers.

We have organized our operations along two business segments: ATMI Materials
and ATMI Technologies. ATMI Materials provides:

. a broad range of ultrahigh-purity semiconductor materials; and

. semiconductor materials packaging and delivery systems.

ATMI Technologies provides:

. sensors for the workplace and environment that detect materials as they
move through the workplace;

. point-of-use environmental equipment that abates materials; and

. specialty thin film deposition services that provide coated wafers directly
to our

3


customers.

We also conduct our venture activities and our government funded research and
development activities through ATMI Technologies.

Our business has evolved to consist of an equal mix of consumables and
services that track wafer starts, or the number of silicon wafers processed into
fully functional semiconductor devices, and equipment purchases, which generally
track the expansion of industry capacity. Consequently, we believe that our
overall business is less volatile than that of a typical semiconductor capital
equipment supplier. ATMI Materials and ATMI Technologies accounted for
approximately 49% and 51%, respectively, of our revenues in 1999, and
approximately 43% and 57%, respectively, of our revenues in both 1998 and 1997.

Over the last five years, we have achieved a leadership position by providing
a more complete line of products than our competitors through innovation and
acquisitions. We plan to continue our growth through product line expansion in
each of our existing market segments and to leverage our core technology to
create new high growth businesses.

Semiconductor Industry Background

The semiconductor industry has grown in recent years as the use of
semiconductor devices has proliferated in a wide variety of consumer and
industrial products, especially in computing, networking and communications
equipment. According to the Semiconductor Industry Association, the
semiconductor industry achieved worldwide sales in 1999 of $149 billion and is
estimated to achieve worldwide sales of over $200 billion in 2001. This increase
in demand for semiconductor devices has been fueled by the ability of
semiconductor manufacturers to deliver products with :

. consistently enhanced performance characteristics and functionality;

. improved reliability;

. increased memory capacity; and

. reduced size, weight, power consumption and cost.

These advances have been made possible by innovations in the fabrication
processes, equipment and the materials used in manufacturing advanced
semiconductor devices. At the same time, as the construction and management of
fabrication facilities has become more complex, semiconductor manufacturers have
sought to streamline their supplier relationships and reduce the number of
suppliers upon which they rely. In turn, this has driven significant
consolidation among the providers of semiconductor capital equipment and
materials and materials delivery systems.

Semiconductor devices are manufactured by repeating a complex series of
process steps on a wafer substrate, usually made of silicon. The primary
process steps include various kinds of

4


materials deposition (physical vapor deposition, chemical vapor deposition,
electrochemical deposition, ion implant and spin-on), etch, wafer preparation
(chemical mechanical polishing) and patterning (photolithography).

During deposition processes, several layers of conducting, semiconducting or
insulating thin films are formed on a wafer. Precise and reliable control of
the deposition of these films is vital to the ultimate performance of an
individual device.

The most mature processes for thin film deposition and modification are
physical vapor deposition, also known as PVD or sputtering, ion implantation and
spin-on deposition. In PVD, which is used primarily for the deposition of
conducting or metal layers, a high energy beam is directed at a high purity
metal target which in turn causes the displacement of metal atoms that are
showered over the wafer coating it with a thin metallic film. Ion implantation
is a gas based process used principally to modify (or dope) semiconducting
layers with a high energy beam of material that is "implanted" into an existing
thin film. In spin-on deposition, a spinning wafer is treated with a solution
of materials and solvent. The solvent is vaporized leaving the material in
place which is usually further heat treated to form the desired thin film.

Chemical vapor deposition, or CVD, is a newer process used in the deposition
of semiconducting and insulating thin films. In the CVD process, wafers are
placed in a sophisticated reaction chamber, and a specially designed gas or
vaporized liquid material is introduced. Simultaneously, a form of energy, such
as heat or plasma, is added to the reactor to cause the decomposition of the
material being introduced. As a result of this decomposition, a thin film of
material is deposited on the surface of the wafer. The advantages of CVD over
PVD based processes include:

. the relative thinness of the films applied to the wafer;

. conformality (ability to coat evenly, especially in holes and trenches
designed into the device);

. purity; and

. the ability to coat large areas.

These advantages have led to rapid growth in sales of reactors and related CVD
process consumables and equipment. Consumables and related equipment include
the raw materials used in the CVD process and the delivery systems required to
transport the materials around a semiconductor plant and to a reactor.

An even more recently developed process called electrochemical deposition, or
ECD, is now growing rapidly as a result of the industry's desire to use copper
as the conducting layer in certain devices. In ECD, the wafer is submerged in a
bath of copper electroplating solution which, when appropriately charged,
deposits a thin film of copper on the wafer.

5


Etch is a process that selectively erodes away certain thin film materials. It
is carried out either "dry" with corrosive gases or "wet" with energized
liquids. Chemical mechanical polishing, or CMP, is used to prepare a wafer for
photolithography. As wafers are processed, thin film thicknesses inevitably vary
across the surface of the wafer. Due to the fine line widths used in
photolithography, present day wafers need to be perfectly flat. CMP flattens the
processed wafer by polishing the wafer using a mechanical polishing pad and a
slurry, which is an abrasive solution containing solid materials and chemicals
which selectively erodes away the appropriate excess materials.

Photolithography is the process whereby patterns are developed on the wafer
surface. The process is begun by spinning a photosensitive material called a
"photoresist" or "resist" onto the wafer surface and shining light through a
patterned photomask to selectively harden the resist. The resist is then
developed by stripping or otherwise removing excess resist material and allowing
for the fabrication of the wafer's circuitry.

Materials and Delivery Systems

The market for semiconductor thin film materials has expanded with the growth
of the market for semiconductor devices. The design of new thin film deposition
materials and equipment to transport these materials around a semiconductor
plant has experienced ongoing innovation. This innovation has been driven by
the demand for expanding semiconductor device capabilities and corresponding
decreases in circuit dimensions. Safe and effective thin film deposition
requires dedicated systems designed to deliver and vaporize precursor materials
for deposition in reactors without contamination or inadvertent release of toxic
gases.

Because thin film materials are consumables, the market for these materials
and delivery systems generally tracks wafer starts, as opposed to the market for
equipment, which generally tracks investment in new plants. The thin film
materials market is also segmented into a wide variety of material types and
forms. For example, many thin film precursors are now sold as pressurized
gases, which allows for easy transport around a typical semiconductor
manufacturing plant. However, many of these gases are toxic and/or hazardous,
leading to the development of safer alternatives including the use of liquid or
solid materials and the adoption of gas handling technologies and delivery
systems that minimize the danger of a catastrophic release of toxic gas. We
estimate that the total annual market in 1999 for specialty thin film
deposition, etch, CMP, photolithography materials and delivery systems exceeded
$3 billion.

Materials Packaging. Semiconductor materials have exceptional purity
requirements due to the extremely low tolerances for impurities and particulates
in semiconductor processing. Gases are in a form whereby particulates can be
readily managed. Liquids and solids, however, require special packaging to
minimize exposure to air and particulates.

Materials Sensing and Monitoring. Semiconductor gases pose unique toxicity
and

6


environmental difficulties. As a result, the need for devices to sense and warn
personnel of leaks or possible catastrophic releases of these gases is
compelling. To that end, a market for toxic gas sensing devices and systems has
grown up in tandem with the semiconductor industry. Semiconductor fabs are now
outfitted with a high level of sensing technology to protect the workplace and
the environment. Furthermore, this technology is being integrated with factory
operations to prevent and/or minimize damage or productivity of the plant and
its personnel. We believe the market for this type of materials sensing
equipment exceeded $150 million in 1999.

Sensors are also required to monitor materials purity and concentration. The
ability to integrate sensors to control processing equipment is also critical to
the productivity of the high capital intensive semiconductor fabs. So-called
"in-process sensing" is growing rapidly with the increasing complexity of
semiconductor processing.

Environmental Equipment

The use of gas and vapor based processes has led to the development of
environmental equipment designed to abate gaseous effluent. For example, less
than 40% of the materials entering a CVD reactor are deposited as a thin film.
The remainder of the source materials, and certain by-products, constitute an
effluent stream containing toxic and hazardous material that must be abated to
meet increasingly strict worldwide environmental, safety and health regulations.
Traditionally, abatement has been accomplished by the use of "whole plant"
environmental systems, which aggregate the effluents from an entire facility.
However, variations in the processes used and the drive for increased
productivity have led to the growth of point-of-use environmental systems in
which a single environmental unit is attached to a single reactor. This
approach provides for superior abatement because the system can be tuned to the
unique hazards of a particular effluent stream. In addition, point-of-use
environmental systems can improve plant productivity by reducing downtime
associated with servicing environmental systems. We believe the market for this
type of point-of-use environmental equipment exceeded $200 million in 1999.

Deposition Services

The demand for higher performance integrated circuits and discrete
semiconductor devices has driven the use of epitaxial wafers in a wide variety
of applications. Epitaxial, or "epi", wafers are wafers on which CVD thin films
have been deposited. A merchant market for epitaxial wafers, primarily silicon
epitaxial wafers, has in recent years developed due to the high degree of
expertise and significant capital expenditures required by epitaxy. According to
Dataquest Inc., this market was $2.0 billion in 1998. This market is subdivided
into "generic" wafers for high volume applications such as dynamic
random access memory, or DRAM, and "specialty" wafers for use in applications
such as automotive electronics and sensors, silicon-based low power
telecommunications circuits, analog power controls and robust application-
specific integrated circuits. We believe that specialty epi products
accounted for approximately 15% of the total epi wafer market or

7


$300 million in 1998 and will constitute a significant portion of the overall
growth of the merchant market for epitaxial wafers.

The continued drive for improved device performance and new applications for
integrated circuits has led to the development and commercialization of
alternative semiconductor technologies. A newer generation of devices has
emerged that uses epitaxial wafers made of III-V and wide bandgap materials, as
opposed to silicon, to achieve this improved performance. III-V semiconductors,
including gallium arsenide and indium phosphide, are finding increasing use in
wireless communication devices where high frequency performance is critical, in
optoelectronic devices where the electronic structure of the III-V
semiconductors allows energy-efficient light generation and in solar cells for
satellite applications where efficient generation of electricity is critical.
Wide bandgap semiconductors, such as silicon carbide and gallium nitride, offer
advantages in high power, optoelectronic and high temperature devices. We
believe the market for all wide bandgap materials for both electronic and
optoelectronic applications was $9.0 billion in 1999.

ATMI's Strategy

Our objective is to establish and enhance leadership positions in each of the
market segments we serve. Our strategy consists of the following key elements:

. We target high growth, high margin specialty markets that use our core
materials technologies and require products that are consumed in the
production process.

. We seek to provide full market-basket solutions, or "one-stop shopping",
through innovation and acquisitions in each of our target markets to help
our customers streamline supplier relationships.

. We provide added value through advanced packaging and dispensing systems
designed to meet the demands of users for greater levels of purity,
productivity, safety and environmental responsiveness.

. We leverage our technology leadership by investing extensively in
developing proprietary and patented materials and materials handling
technology which we use to commercialize new products to meet customer
requirements.

. We form strategic alliances, including joint development programs and
collaborative marketing efforts, to accelerate the introduction of our
products into markets that have manufacturing and/or distribution barriers.

Businesses and Products

We conduct our operations through two primary business segments: ATMI
Materials and ATMI Technologies.

8


ATMI Materials

We believe ATMI Materials is one of the fastest growing suppliers of ultrahigh
purity semiconductor materials and related packaging and delivery systems to the
semiconductor industry. We have taken advantage of the changes in the market
for materials and delivery systems by:

. developing and commercializing a wide range of "front-end" semiconductor
materials;

. commercializing innovative bulk delivery systems which automatically
deliver materials of the highest purity and consistency to a process;

. developing innovative packaging systems that allow for the introduction of
low volatility liquids and solids to semiconductor processes;

. developing and commercializing patented low-pressure gas delivery systems
for safe handling and delivery of toxic and hazardous gases to
semiconductor process equipment; and

. developing manufacturing processes to meet the critical purity and
integrity requirements of the microelectronics industry.

In meeting the needs of our customers, which include semiconductor device
manufacturers, chemical suppliers and OEMs located throughout the world, and
anticipating their future requirements, we seek:

. to offer the most complete line of consumable and delivery and packaging
system products;

. to offer the most consistent, highest purity materials available;

. to offer the most reliable, innovative equipment products;

. to improve the level of customer service, technical support and response
offered and to remain cost-effective to our customers;

. to meet customer needs for statistical quality and process control and
dock-to-stock programs; and

. to continue to meet the industry's needs for advanced materials required
for future generation devices.

Products and Services. ATMI Materials has four primary product lines, which
consist of

9


liquid materials, liquid delivery systems, gas delivery systems and advanced
packaging and dispensing systems. ATMI Materials also provides services relating
to each of these product lines.

Liquid Materials. We produce a broad range of materials that are used in
making semiconductor devices. In addition to the widely used CVD precursors such
as TEOS and related dopants, we also sell thin film materials used in other
semiconductor manufacturing processes, including phosphorous and boron halides
used for doping by diffusion processing. We also manufacture and sell source
reagents that allow CVD of advanced materials, including titanium nitride,
platinum, copper, tantalum oxide, lead zirconate titanate, strontium bismuth
tantalate and barium strontium titanate thin films.

All of these thin films must be of very high purity in order to function
properly within the device, particularly with respect to unwanted metallic
contamination. We believe that our cleaning and container technology produces
the most consistent, highest purity chemicals in the industry and ensures their
quality as delivered into the reactor.

We also produce a wide range of liquid products for photoresist stripping,
edge bead removal, developing and cleaning. In addition, we recently entered
the rapidly growing market for CMP slurries. We now provide high performance
oxide polishing slurries, and we expect to introduce advanced metal slurries.

Liquid Delivery Systems. We design, manufacture and sell proprietary
continuous refill and delivery systems. These systems are designed to deliver
ultrahigh-purity thin film materials to the CVD reactors under the desired
physical conditions. Our delivery systems include stainless steel ampules,
stainless steel MINIBULK canisters, stainless steel SKINNIBULK canisters, quartz
bubblers, bulk chemical delivery cabinets, level sensing systems, manual and
continuous refill systems and other application-specific equipment.

We believe that our continuous refill systems enhance the performance of the
process tools they support by eliminating process downtime resulting from
canister changes. Typically, process tools must cease operation when canister
changes are made to replenish source material. Our bulk refill systems allow
continuous delivery of source material. In addition to the elimination of the
downtime associated with canister changes, this configuration also minimizes the
atmospheric and moisture contamination that can occur during these change-outs.

Gas Delivery Systems (the SDS or Safe Delivery System). Our patented SDS
product line uses a standard gas cylinder containing an adsorbent material. The
cylinder is filled with gas under conditions such that the gas is adsorbed onto
the material, and the SDS cylinder is at sub-atmospheric pressure, minimizing
any potential leak of hazardous gas and allowing more gas to be introduced into
the cylinder than would be possible under traditional high pressure conditions.
Consequently, material delivery via SDS is safer and provides significantly
higher rates of productivity than traditional methods. Since most semiconductor
processes operate at reduced pressure and the gas can be desorbed or released
from the SDS under vacuum, it can be installed and operated like a conventional
high-pressure gas cylinder. These advantages have led major

10


chip manufacturers to adopt this technology.

To date, we have introduced products using the SDS technology to deliver
several gases, including arsine, phosphine, boron trifluoride, silicon
tetrafluoride and germanium tetrafluoride. Each is used to "dope" silicon wafers
using ion implant processes. All of these SDS products are available in
different size cylinders, and some have different adsorbents that allow for
additional gas capacity within a cylinder. These products are manufactured by
us, and for us by Matheson Gas Products, our exclusive distributor for SDS used
in ion implant applications.

We also believe that significant markets for SDS exist outside ion implant.
We are now commercializing SDS for CVD applications. We have also undertaken
extensive development efforts to identify new markets and products for the SDS
technology. We believe that certain etch gases used in the semiconductor
industry and certain gases normally delivered in bulk within the semiconductor
industry are possible candidates for the SDS process.

Advanced Packaging and Delivery Systems. We manufacture three different types
of NOWPak container assemblies: "Bag-in-a-Bottle"; "Bag-in-a-Can"; and "Bag-in-
a-Drum". Each features a pre-cleaned collapsible inner liner, or "bag", inside
a rugged, high-density polyethylene or stainless steel overpack. The standard
liner film is made of polytetrafluoroethylene which allows virtually all
chemicals to be delivered to the manufacturing process in an unaltered state.
The empty inner liner is easily removed for waste consolidation, and the outer
shell is recyclable or returnable for insertion of a new replacement liner.

The largest market for NOWPak's packaging is materials for photoresists.
These materials are typically packaged in one liter through ten liter Bag-in-a-
Bottle containers. The NOWPak's market applications for photoresists used in
the manufacture of active matrix flat panel displays as well as for the
pharmaceutical, biotech and laboratory markets are typically in 18-20 liter Bag-
in-a-Bottle and Bag-in-a-Can containers. Additionally, applications have
recently expanded beyond photolithography chemicals in the semiconductor niche
to include ancillary chemicals, CMP slurries and process chemicals for which the
new 200 liter Bag-in-a-Drum is well suited.

We also produce packages for high purity solids under the Newform brand name.
We make high-purity flexible Ultra Clean packaging for the semiconductor and
pharmaceutical industries. With our Newform products, we package critical
solids-sputter targets, wafer and disc shippers, cleanroom parts and container
overwraps. With the NOWPak liquid packaging system and Newform solids
packaging, we are addressing all facets of critical packaging for the
microelectronics market.

ATMI Technologies

We have taken advantage of our expertise in semiconductor materials technology
to build a comprehensive product portfolio around this core technology.
Effectively, ATMI Materials' business ends with the delivery of a specialty
material to a semiconductor industry process tool. Through its common core
technical understanding of these materials, ATMI Technologies delivers products
and services that allow its customers to manage materials flow through the
remainder of the semiconductor factory. ATMI Technologies addresses its
customers' needs by providing:

. sensing products that protect both the workplace and the environment;

. monitoring products for certain processes that ensure the quality of the
thin film product being produced;

. a full range of abatement products that remove potential environmental
threats from the process exhaust stream; and

. specialty thin film deposition services for those customers who do not
desire to perform this operation within their own facilities.

As a result of this strategy, we believe ATMI Technologies is the leading
supplier of sensing products, point-of-use abatement systems and specialty
epitaxial deposition services to the worldwide semiconductor industry. ATMI
Technologies also manages our ventures portfolio, which includes the Emosyn
smart card device product line and our optoelectronic materials activities,
until these ventures mature to market critical mass.

Products and Services. ATMI Technologies includes three primary product lines
and services, which consist of sensing products, point-of-use semiconductor
environmental equipment and deposition services.

Sensing Products. We provide life safety systems to the semiconductor
industry. Because the gases used in semiconductor manufacturing are so toxic,
manufacturers must install systems which protect employees from accidental
releases. We believe that we are now the only company offering a range of
technologies capable of detecting all of the gases used in semiconductor
manufacturing. Combined with our worldwide systems integration capabilities, we
are able to provide customers with a single contact for the design,
installation, commissioning and sustaining service on complete life safety
systems.

Satellite series electrochemical sensors provide distributed sensors located
at each point requiring gas detection. Electrochemical sensors provide cost
effective and reliable detection of most gases used in semiconductor
fabrication. This sensor's self-check feature and auto-calibration feature
provide maximum reliability and ease of use and are the leading sensor
technology for acid gases in a fab.

12


ACM Air Composition Monitors allow the fab to determine the exact composition
of any gas that is emitted in the fab. This system allows the fab to determine
exactly the composition of unknown odors that fab personnel may detect. It also
is the only known detection device in the industry that can measure NF3 without
the need to decompose it into another species for detection.

TGM Toxic Gas Monitors use molecular emissions spectroscopy to measure and
speciate toxic gases. This system is the leading technology for sensing the
very toxic hydride gases used to dope semiconductor films.

H2M Hydrogen Monitors use a patented acoustical technology that measures the
time of flight of hydrogen in a enclosed tube. We believe this system is the
only system on the market that can detect hydrogen without interference from
other gases such as hydrocarbons. As a result, we believe this system is the
most reliable way to detect hydrogen.

Semi-Chem Fluid Process Monitors are unique liquid sensing devices that use
multiple liquid analysis technologies. These devices analyze the signals they
receive with complex algorithms and measure the precise assay of materials that
effect the overall yield of a device.

We also provide a unique and high value added liquid chemical analysis and
control tool. We believe that we are a market leader in the analysis and
control of the active ingredients in CMP slurries. In addition, we believe that
we are well positioned to provide leading technology to the semiconductor copper
plating market through product development activities with industry leaders.

Point-of-Use Semiconductor Environmental Equipment. We believe we are the
only provider of point-of-use environmental equipment offering all of the key
technologies for effluent gas abatement to the semiconductor industry: dry
chemical; liquid; and active oxidation. As a result of this broad product line,
we believe we are a global market leader in the manufacture and sale of point-
of-use semiconductor effluent abatement equipment. Our strategy is to grow our
market share through the continued development and acquisition of new
semiconductor environmental products and services. We believe that this full
line of semiconductor environmental products, coupled with a comprehensive
service and sensing strategy, will allow for continued market penetration by
this business.

We have four primary environmental equipment product lines. Each of the four
major point-of-use products has cost of ownership advantages for semiconductor
customers in certain applications such as CVD, ion implant and etch.

Novapure dry chemical scrubbers adsorb and concentrate hazardous effluent
through the use of consumable resins at rates many times that of conventional
effluent treatment methods. We believe that, through our patented adsorption
materials, we are a market leader for point-of-use semiconductor effluent dry
scrubbing throughout the world. This technology is typically used for ion
implant applications, in conjunction with our SDS product line. It is also used
for each

13


and certain CVD applications.

Vector wet scrubbers are designed for cost effective removal of acidic and
high particulate bearing gases commonly used in the wafer fabrication process.
Vector scrubbers recirculate scrubbing water, minimizing overall water use, and
are effective in removing high particulate effluent and, with its optional air-
oxidation inlet, pyrophoric gases. The Vector scrubber is typically used in CVD
and etch applications. It is the leading treatment system for multi-wafer
chamber CVD tools.

Guardian active oxidation scrubbers treat a variety of combustible materials
used in semiconductor processing. The Guardian product line is designed for
high reliability and very high flow rates of combustible gases typically used in
CVD and flat panel display applications.

Delatech CDO oxidation and water treatment scrubbers use a combination of
thermal oxidation and wet scrubbing to treat solid particulate and acid gas
applications in a single unit. This system can also be used to treat PFCs
(perfluorinated compounds believed to be responsible for global warming). This
system is the industry's leading treatment solution for single wafer chamber CVD
tools.

Deposition Services. In addition to deposition on patterned wafers, CVD thin
film processes are used to prepare bare wafers prior to the fabrication of
integrated circuits to provide the wafer surfaces with the desired uniformity of
electrical and physical properties. Such CVD thin film deposition is referred
to as epitaxial deposition, and these wafers when processed are referred to as
epitaxial, or "epi", wafers. The complexity, sensitivity, and capital intensive
nature of the CVD processes used for epitaxy have created a market for epitaxial
thin film deposition services, or contract manufacture of epi wafers using CVD
processes.

ATMI Technologies operates a service business providing specialty epitaxial
deposition services for silicon, III-V and wide bandgap wafers. Desired
electrical and physical properties of the epitaxial layers are specified by the
customer and developed in collaboration with us. The properties of the
epitaxial layers are selected to maximize the performance of the customer's
integrated circuit or device while maximizing yield and minimizing cost. Our
fundamental competitive advantages include the manufacture of high quality
epitaxial layers with high yield. In addition, we differentiate ourselves by
offering quality epitaxial deposition services with fast turnaround and in
flexible volumes.

We believe that we are the only provider offering CVD thin film deposition
services for each of the key materials used in semiconductor devices today, and
that we are now a world leader in specialty epitaxial deposition services. Our
strategy is to maximize market share through the continued development and
acquisition of new semiconductor thin film products and services. A key element
of the business strategy is to work with the customer in the early stages of
product development to ensure that proven epitaxial processes are in place when
the decision is made to expand into manufacturing.

We provide commercial epitaxial deposition services for silicon and III-V
materials. III-V

14


epitaxial wafers are finding increasing use in wireless communications,
satellites and optoelectronics for data and telecommunication markets. Epitaxial
services for wide bandgap semiconductors and several new products in silicon and
gallium arsenide are in development. We are currently engaged in several
collaborations to develop wide bandgap epitaxial wafers for future
optoelectronic, sensor and power device products. Furthermore, we are developing
a silicon germanium epitaxial process for use in silicon-based heterojunction
devices for high speed communication and computation integrated circuits and a
ultrathin silicon on sapphire process for use in high frequency, low power
applications. We are also continuing development of epitaxial structures for
gallium arsenide-based electronics devices including heterojunction bipolar
transistors and high electron mobility transistors in collaboration with our
customers.

Ventures. We also maintain an active in-house venture program. The primary
goal of this program is to develop next-generation semiconductor materials
technology that is beyond the product development scope of our existing core
businesses. The research and development funding that we apply to this program
is enhanced through federal government contract or partner funding in nearly all
cases.

Smart Card Device Venture. We are currently developing and commercializing
integrated circuits for use in smart cards. Smart cards are credit card-like
devices that operate through a chip on the card as opposed to the more familiar
magnetic strip. The smart card is read through insertion into a "reader" that
clamps down on the device and simultaneously powers it up and performs a
multitude of operations. The smart card market is growing rapidly, especially
in Europe, in the mobile phone, health care and transportation industries. Long
term, we expect that smart cards will see wide use in secure internet
transactions.

We entered this market to leverage certain proprietary advanced non-volatile
materials technology. To facilitate the development of these integrated
circuits, we have entered into a strategic alliance with a subsidiary of SMH
Swatch, the largest watch maker in Switzerland, to design, develop, manufacture
and distribute these products. In November 1998, we also entered into a
strategic alliance with Xicor, Inc. that gives us the right to become Xicor's
exclusive sales channel for Xicor integrated circuit products targeting smart
card applications. We also hold an option to purchase this product line
beginning in 2001.

Our first smart card products are targeted at the fast-growing market for
micro-controller-based smart card IC's. The combination of our expertise in
non-volatile memory technology with SMH Swatch's expertise in ultra-low power
and radio frequency technology has enabled the launch of a device called
"Theseus" which provides high density, speed, power and memory partitioning.
Our approach to memory technology design provides a smart card solution that
significantly reduces the major problem of time-to-market for the card
manufacturers with no increase in device size. We are now working to specify
our products with smart card manufacturers, and in the fourth quarter of 1999,
we shipped our first commercial product.

Other Venture Activities - Optomaterials. We have oriented much of our
effort in the ventures program area towards the development of optoelectronic
materials, especially gallium nitride. We believe that our unique technology in
this area, in both substrate and epi layer

15


manufacture, will allow us to enter new rapidly growing markets as either a
supplier of these materials or as a partner in the development of advanced
optoelectronic devices such as blue laser diodes and high performance light
emitting diodes.

Customers, Sales and Marketing

We sell and distribute our products worldwide, both directly and through
manufacturers' representatives. Many of our customers have relationships with
more than one of our segments or are acting as collaborators on our development
programs.

We distribute our materials and delivery system products to end-use customers,
chemical suppliers and equipment suppliers through our direct sales force in
North America, Europe and Taiwan, and through regional manufacturing
representatives in other parts of Asia. Additionally, our equipment product
lines are marketed and sold to semiconductor equipment OEMs, who in turn resell
to end users. NOWPak containers are generally sold to chemical suppliers. The
chemical companies then sell their high purity chemicals in NOWPak containers at
the request of end-users. Newform packaging products have historically been
sold directly to semiconductor and pharmaceutical companies, predominately in
Europe. We sell our SDS product into the ion implant market through an
exclusive distribution agreement with Matheson.

The businesses within ATMI Technologies distribute products both directly and
through various manufacturing representatives.

We distribute our point-of-use environmental equipment and life safety
monitoring equipment through manufacturers' representatives throughout the
world. Direct sales personnel serve as regional managers who coordinate the
representatives' activity within their respective regions. Additionally, we
market environmental equipment product lines directly to semiconductor end-user
facility managers to provide full-fab environmental and monitoring solutions as
well as installation and on-going service.

We market and sell our thin film deposition services and epitaxial wafers
primarily on a direct basis. In particular, silicon epi wafers and services are
sold directly throughout the world. Wide bandgap and III-V epitaxial wafers are
sold directly in North America and through distributors and agents in Europe and
Asia.

Substantially all of our sales are to customers in the worldwide semiconductor
industry. Our results of operations, therefore, are materially dependent upon
economic and business conditions in the semiconductor industry. The
semiconductor industry has historically experienced significant growth; however,
periods of reduced semiconductor unit demand and manufacturing overcapacity
could result in significantly reduced demand for semiconductor materials,
capital equipment and wafer processing services.

Competition

ATMI Materials

Our primary competitors in semiconductor materials in the United States are
the Schumacher Division of Air Products Corporation and the Diffusion Systems
Division of Arch Chemical (in CVD precursors) and the EKC division of ChemFirst
Corporation and the ACT division of Ashland Chemical (in photolithography
ancillaries). We compete with these companies outside of the United States and
also with Yamanaka Hutech Corporation and Kojundo in Asia, and Merck in Europe.
There are a number of other smaller participants in these markets.

There are currently no direct competitors to our patented SDS product.
Several companies, however, provide gases in high-pressure containers that
compete with the process capability of SDS. There are numerous domestic and
foreign companies that offer products that compete with our packaging and
chemical dispensing system products. However, we believe that our ability to
compete in the markets for containers and dispensing systems is dependent
largely upon our patented NOWPak technology and our proven ability to
continually enhance and improve our products and technologies.

ATMI Technologies

Our competitors in effluent abatement include CS GmbH, Ebara, Japan Pionics,
and the Edwards Division of British Oxygen Corporation. Our primary competitors
in sensing products include MDA in the United States and Europe and Riken in
Japan.

We have different competitors in each of our primary deposition services
areas. In silicon epi, we compete with Moore Technologies, Reaction
Technologies and a number of specialty wafer manufacturers with their own epi
capabilities. In some product areas, we compete with the major silicon wafer
manufacturers including Wacker, Mitsubishi Silicon America and Sumitomo. In
III-V epi, we compete with Kopin, Epitaxial Products International, Emcore and a
number of other manufacturers.

Our Emosyn business is evolving as a commercial presence in a very large smart
card IC marketplace. Several large companies are also working to provide
semiconductor devices into that marketplace, including Phillips, Atmel and
Samsung.

Research and Development

Our research and development expenses consist of personnel and other direct
and indirect costs for internally funded project development. Our external
funding is almost exclusively from various agencies of the federal government.
We also participate in joint development efforts with certain semiconductor
manufacturers and semiconductor equipment OEMs. Total sums expended for
research and development for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997
were $23.1 million, $22.5 million and $22.2 million, respectively. Of those
amounts, $4.7 million, $5.9 million and $7.9 million, respectively, were
externally funded and are classified

18


within cost of revenues on our consolidated financial statements, and $18.4
million, $16.6 million and $14.3 million, respectively, were internally funded
expenditures and are classified as research and development expenses on our
consolidated financial statements. Total research and development expenditures
from internal and external funding represented 11.8%, 13.6% and 11.6% of our
revenues in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Strategic Alliances

We form strategic alliances, including joint development programs and
collaborative marketing efforts, to accelerate the introduction of our products
into markets that have manufacturing and/or distribution barriers. These
programs have led to significant technological advances, including the
development of proprietary advanced materials and semiconductor manufacturing
processes. Most of our strategic alliances are with leading semiconductor
manufacturers or OEMs, such as IBM, Lucent Technologies, Micron Technology,
Siemens and Texas Instruments, each of which has participated with us in
advanced materials development programs. These programs enhance our core
technology base, promote the introduction of targeted products and reduce our
need to make research and development and capital expenditures.

Backlog

Neither our liquid materials business, which conducts significant portions of
its business with open-ended, long-term supply contracts which do not specify
quantities, nor our specialty thin film deposition services business, which
generally operates with fast turnaround, maintain significant backlog. Also, the
SDS gas delivery source product, marketed through Matheson as an exclusive
distributor for the ion implant market, carries no backlog. Because orders
comprising our backlog may be canceled, and delivery schedules may be changed,
our backlog at any particular date may not be indicative of actual sales for any
succeeding period.

We consider orders for products shippable within six months of the backlog
date and fully executed and funded research contract awards as of the backlog
date as firm backlog. As of December 31, 1999, we had firm backlog of
approximately $25.2 million, consisting of approximately $22.4 million of
product orders and approximately $2.8 million of executed and funded research
contracts. This compares to a firm backlog level of approximately $16.4 million
as of December 31, 1998, which consisted of approximately $8.5 million of
product orders and approximately $7.9 million of executed and funded research
contracts. The increase in product backlog when comparing 1999 to 1998 was due
to the strengthening in the capital spending cycle in the semiconductor
industry, since EcoSys product lines normally constitute the majority of our
backlog.

Patents and Proprietary Rights

We have made a significant investment in securing intellectual property
protection for our technology and products. We protect our technology by, among
other things, filing patent applications for technology considered important to
the development of our business. We also

19


rely upon trade secrets, unpatented know-how, continuing technological
innovation and the aggressive pursuit of licensing opportunities to help develop
and maintain our competitive position.

As of February 24, 2000, we had been awarded 171 United States patents and had
164 United States patent applications pending. Foreign counterparts of certain
of these applications have been filed, or may be filed at an appropriate time.
We decide on a case-by-case basis whether, and in what countries, we will file
counterparts of a United States patent application outside the United States.
Our United States patents expire between 2006 and 2019. We also hold 20 United
States registered trademarks. We are actively using all United States
trademarks.

Our ability to compete effectively with other companies will depend, in part,
on our ability to maintain the proprietary nature of our technology. Although
we have been awarded, have filed applications for, or have been licensed under
numerous patents in the United States and other countries, there can be no
assurance concerning the degree of protection afforded by these patents or the
likelihood that pending patents will be issued.

We require all employees and most consultants, outside scientific
collaborators, sponsored researchers and other advisors to execute
confidentiality agreements upon the commencement of employment or consulting
relationships with us. These agreements provide that all confidential
information developed or made known to the individual during the course of the
individual's relationship with us is to be kept confidential and not disclosed
to third parties except in specific circumstances. All of our employees have
entered into agreements providing for the assignment of rights to inventions
made by them while employed by us.

Environmental Regulation

We use, generate and discharge toxic, volatile or otherwise hazardous
chemicals and wastes in our manufacturing, processing, and research and
development activities. As a result, we are subject to a variety of governmental
regulations related to the storage, use and disposal of these materials. Our
failure to comply with present or future laws could result in fines or other
liabilities being imposed on us, suspension of production or a cessation of
operations.

The various premises, particularly the premises in Danbury, Connecticut, may
have been contaminated prior to occupancy. We are not aware of any environmental
investigation or action by government agencies involving these premises.
However, under federal and state statutes and regulations, a government agency
may seek to recover its response costs and/or require future remedial measures
from both operators and owners of property where releases of hazardous
substances have occurred or are ongoing. The prior occupant of the Danbury,
Connecticut premises has agreed to indemnify us for remediation costs in
connection with any pre-existing, on-site contamination or environmental
condition. However, this indemnification may not prove adequate to cover any
liability imposed on us related to the environmental condition of the premises
or the cost of defending an environmental action, either of which could be
substantial.

20


Our activities may also result in our being subject to additional regulation.
Such regulations could require us to acquire significant additional equipment or
to incur other substantial expenses to comply with environmental laws. Our
failure to control the use of hazardous substances could subject us to
substantial financial liabilities.

Employees

As of December 31, 1999, we employed a total of 902 individuals, including 355
in sales and administration, 462 in operations and 85 in research and
development. Of these employees, 38 hold Ph.D. degrees and 21 hold other
advanced degrees in electrical engineering, materials science, chemistry,
physics or related fields. None of our employees are covered by collective
bargaining agreements. We have not experienced any work stoppages, and consider
our relations with our employees to be strong.



Item 2. Properties.

Our headquarters are located in Danbury, Connecticut, where we lease a 72,000
square foot facility. We occupy this facility under a lease which expires on
August 31, 2005. We believe our existing facility is adequate and suitable for
our current and anticipated needs. We also lease 6,500 square feet of office
and warehouse space in Tsinchu, Taiwan and 1,500 square feet in Whitney, UK.

Our liquid materials operations are located in Texas. We own approximately
six acres of property in Burnet, Texas, on which a 30,000 square foot
manufacturing facility is located. We also lease a 30,000 square foot
manufacturing facility in Carrollton, Texas, expiring in 2002 and 4,000 square
feet of office space in Austin, Texas, expiring in June 2000. We believe that
our liquid materials operations and manufacturing facilities with its potential
for expansion are adequate for the current and anticipated level of demand.

We also own approximately 1.4 acres and a 9,000 square foot manufacturing
facility in Anseong, South Korea.

Our advanced packaging and delivery systems operations are housed in a 70,000
square foot leased facility located in Bloomington, Minnesota, including
approximately 20,000 square feet of cleanroom manufacturing. The lease expires
in 2000, with two, three-year renewal options. Additionally, we own a 70,000
square foot facility on approximately 3.7 acres of land in Hoegaarden, Belgium
where advanced packaging products are manufactured. We believe these facilities
are adequate and suitable for our current and anticipated needs for these
product lines.

Our point-of-use environmental equipment and sensor products are manufactured
at various sites around the world. We lease 45,000 square feet of facilities in
San Jose, California, which

21


lease expires in March 2003. We own approximately 4 acres of property in Napa,
California, on which a 24,000 square foot manufacturing facility is located.
Additionally we lease 29,500 square feet in Buffalo Grove, Illinois, 30,000
square feet near Munich, Germany and approximately 11,500 square feet in Bonn,
Germany which house production of the sensor product lines. These leases expire
in June 2003, June 2002 and September 2003, respectively. Finally, we lease
3,000 square feet of manufacturing space near Seoul, South Korea as well as
approximately 2,500 square feet of office space in Singapore. We believe these
facilities are adequate and suitable for our current and anticipated needs for
our environmental equipment and sensor product lines.

Our specialty thin film deposition services are headquartered in Mesa,
Arizona. Our Mesa facility measures 33,000 square feet, is expandable to 50,000
square feet and houses the specialty silicon epitaxial service business. We also
lease a 15,000 square foot facility in Phoenix, Arizona, where the III-V
epitaxial business is located, which lease expires August 2001. The wide bandgap
epitaxial business is housed in our corporate facility in Danbury, Connecticut.
We obtain certain of our manufacturing equipment by entering into capital leases
while other equipment is held subject to liens on the related equipment securing
notes payable. We believe these facilities are adequate and suitable for our
current and anticipated needs for our specialty thin film deposition services.


Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

We have been notified by the Internal Revenue Service of an assessment of $2.1
million for certain tax matters related to our Advanced Delivery and Chemical
Systems subsidiary. Although we believe that this assessment is without merit
and we intend to vigorously defend our position on these tax matters, we cannot
predict whether we will be successful in defending against the assessment or the
amount of any final assessment against us.

In December 1998, a former office employee (Cheryl Reed) of ADCS initiated a
legal proceeding against ADCS and us in the District Court for the 33rd
District in Burnet, Texas, alleging personal injuries to her minor child (then
unborn) allegedly resulting from her exposure to various chemicals while
employed by us. The plaintiffs have claimed damages of $25.0 million and
unspecified exemplary damages. We have denied the plaintiffs' legal allegations
and are vigorously defending this action. While we cannot predict the outcome
of this proceeding at this time, we believe it is without merit.

In addition, in the normal course of business, we are involved in various
lawsuits and claims. Although we cannot determine the ultimate outcome of any
of these legal proceedings at this time, management, including internal counsel,
does not believe that the outcome of these proceedings, individually or in the
aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial position or
overall trends in results of operations.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.

Overview

We are a leading supplier of materials, equipment and related services used
worldwide in the manufacture of semiconductor devices. We specifically target
the "front-end" semiconductor materials market. This market includes the
processes used to convert a bare silicon wafer into a fully functional wafer
that contains many copies of a semiconductor device or "chip". Our customers
include most of the leading semiconductor manufacturers in the world.

We have organized our operations along two business segments: ATMI Materials
and ATMI Technologies. ATMI Materials provides products that are used in the
semiconductor manufacturing process and related packaging and delivery systems.
ATMI Technologies provides products that sense and environmentally control these
materials while also providing specialized thin film deposition services to
semiconductor device manufacturers. ATMI Technologies also conducts our venture
and government funded research and development activities.

We have entered into eight mergers since 1997, each of which has been
accounted for as a pooling of interests. As a result, our consolidated financial

Segment Data


During 1998, we adopted FASB Statement No. 131 "Disclosure About Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information". We have two segments: ATMI
Materials and ATMI Technologies. The reportable segments are each managed
separately because they manufacture and distribute distinct products with
different production processes. We evaluate performance and allocate resources
based on operating profit or loss, not including interest and other income or
expense and income taxes. The accounting policies of the reportable segments
are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting
policies in our consolidated financial statements. Intercompany sales are not
material among segments or operating divisions.

The following tables provide reported results for each of these segments:

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997


Revenues. Our revenues increased 18.9% to $196.2 million in 1999 from $165.1
million in 1998, following a decrease of 14.0% in 1998 from $192.0 million in
1997. The 1999 increase in revenues was primarily attributable to the
semiconductor industry's recovery, particularly for consumable products, as seen
by ATMI Materials' 35.7% growth in revenue. ATMI Materials experienced
significant gains related to our SDS, NOW dispensing and packaging products and
liquid materials product lines in 1999 as compared to 1998. ATMI Technologies'
revenues for 1999 increased 6.1% from 1998 levels. Semiconductor manufacturing
capacity expansion began to rebound in the middle of 1999 leading to improved
sales of EcoSys environmental and sensing products and Epitronics thin film
deposition services.


Soft market conditions in 1998, evidenced by a decline in semiconductor unit
demand in the

28


second and third quarters of 1998 and a significant reduction in semiconductor
equipment spending during most of 1998, were the primary causes for the 14.0%
revenue decline for both ATMI Materials and ATMI Technologies when comparing
1998 with 1997. The decline in semiconductor unit demand during 1998 slowed
sales of many of ATMI Materials' product offerings. Semiconductor manufacturing
capacity expansion substantially declined during 1998, which caused a decrease
in EcoSys and Epitronics product sales.


Gross Profit. Gross profit increased 26.4% to $103.3 million in 1999 from
$81.7 million in 1998. Gross margin increased to 52.6% in 1999 from 49.5% in
1998. This increase was due principally to margin growth related to
manufacturing efficiencies from increased sales and a shift in product mix
towards SDS, NOW dispensing and packaging systems and liquid materials product
lines. Gross profit decreased 17.9% to $81.7 million in 1998 from $99.5 million
in 1997. Gross margin decreased to 49.5% in 1998 from 51.8% in 1997, primarily
as a result of less efficient fixed cost absorption in connection with the
decrease in revenues experienced in 1998, particularly within the EcoSys,
Epitronics and NOW product lines. Volume declines within the photoresist
stripping product lines, driven by the softening semiconductor industry
conditions, also contributed to the reduction in gross margins in 1998.


Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses
increased 10.4% to $18.4 million in 1999 from $16.6 million in 1998. Increased
efforts to expand SDS technology beyond ion implant applications into CVD, etch
and bulk gas delivery, and continued product development activities within ATMI
Materials and the Emosyn venture resulted in growth of the research and
development efforts. As a percentage of revenues, research and development
expenses decreased to 9.4% in 1999 from 10.1% in 1998. Research and development
expenses increased 16.0% to $16.6 million in 1998 from $14.3 million in 1997.
Similar to the increase in 1999, the 1998 increase was due to the development
efforts to extend the SDS technology beyond existing applications, as well as
the development of new chemical mechanical polishing materials and increased
research efforts to expand our sensing and monitoring product lines.


Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased 5.9% to $60.3 million in 1999 from $56.9
million in 1998. Despite decreases in expenses associated with decreased
administrative costs and cost savings resulting from the integration of recent
business acquisitions, expenses incurred related to the organization of our
Taiwanese subsidiary and the commencement of our enterprise system software
implementation caused selling, general and administrative expenses to increase
in 1999. Additionally, the 1999 expenses included $2.3 million in severance
for several former executives within ATMI Materials and ATMI Technologies.
As a percentage of revenues, these expenses decreased to 30.7% in 1999 from
34.5% in 1998. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 6.1% to
$56.9 million in 1998 from $60.6 million in 1997. The 1998 decrease was
primarily due to a significant reduction in executive compensation paid to
members of management of certain acquired businesses (Delatech, ACSI and
TeloSense) due to weaker operating performance, a reduction of administrative
costs resulting from reductions in personnel and decreased commissions on lower
product revenues.

29


Merger Costs and Related Expenses. The 1999 operating results included merger
and related costs of $9.9 million, including $3.3 million of professional fees
and transactions costs related to our November 1999 acquisitions of MST and
Newform and $2.8 million of investment banking, legal and accounting fees in
connection with the investigation, analysis and May 1999 closing of the
TeloSense, Delatech and ACSI transactions. The 1999 merger related costs
included a $0.6 million reversal of previously accrued merger costs for prior
acquisitions. The acquisition of Delatech also resulted in a $4.4 million asset
impairment charge during the second quarter of 1999 for inventory ($1.0 million)
and goodwill ($3.4 million) associated with an existing environmental equipment
product line which was determined to be impaired. The 1998 operating results
included merger related charges of $1.7 million incurred in completing the NOW
acquisition.

Operating Income. Operating income, including the recognition of merger
related costs, increased 128.4% in 1999 to $14.7 million from $6.4 million in
1998 which was a 58.6% decrease from $15.5 million in 1997. ATMI Materials'
operating income for 1999 increased 70.0% to $19.3 million from $11.4 million in
1998. This increase reflected the gains made due to the improved market
conditions within the industry and increased market share penetration during
1999. The significant revenue increase in 1999 combined with stronger margins
and cost containment initiatives resulted in higher operating income within ATMI
Materials. ATMI Materials' operating income, as a percentage of revenues, was
20.0% and 16.0% for 1999 and 1998, respectively. ATMI Technologies' operating
income improved to $5.3 million in 1999 compared to a $3.2 million loss in 1998.
The profitability increase was attributable to the growth in both EcoSys and
Epitronics revenues, the attendant product margin improvements and a favorable
product mix shift along with an improvement in profitability of various contract
programs. Investments in research and product development within Emosyn and our
other ventures are reflected in ATMI Technologies' operating income. ATMI
Technologies' operating income, as a percentage of revenues, was 5.3% and (3.5)%
in 1999 and 1998, respectively.

ATMI Materials' operating income declined 36.0% to $11.4 million in fiscal
1998 from $17.8 million in 1997. The revenue decline in 1998 reduced gross
margins within ATMI Materials and, combined with an increase in research and
development spending, drove the operating income decline. ATMI Materials'
operating income, as a percentage revenues, was 21.4% in 1997. ATMI
Technologies' operating income declined to a loss of $3.2 million in fiscal 1998
compared to operating income of $6.8 million in 1997. These losses were
attributable to the severe decline in sales of EcoSys products, reduced
Epitronics operating results caused by revenue declines on a relatively fixed
cost base and an increase in research and development efforts focused on our
Emosyn business and other new business ventures.

Other Income, Net. Other income, net increased to approximately $3.8 million
in 1999 from $3.0 million in 1998. The increase in 1999 related to a
significant increase in interest income due to increased cash levels on hand
throughout all of 1999 compared to only part of 1998. These increased cash
levels resulted from a public offering that was completed at the beginning of
the second quarter of 1998. Increased interest rate levels in 1999 also
resulted in increased

30


interest income. Interest expense declined in 1999 due to lower levels of debt
outstanding at December 31, 1999 compared to December 31, 1998. Other income,
net increased to $3.0 million in 1998 from a net expense of $0.5 million in 1997
as a direct result of the increased cash and marketable securities that resulted
from our public offering in the first quarter of 1998. Interest expense
decreased 26.5% to $1.3 million in 1999 from $1.7 million in 1998, and decreased
34.0% in 1998 from $2.6 million in 1997. The 1999 decrease related to the
retirement of a significant debt balance related to the Delatech acquisition as
well as final payments on several equipment leases within Epitronics. The 1998
decrease was due to a conversion of outstanding debt at ACSI into equity in late
1997 and lower overall debt balances outstanding during 1998, as capital lease
lines were paid down and certain high-interest rate debt was retired.

Income Taxes. Income tax expense increased 75.0% to $7.7 million in 1999 from
$4.4 million in 1998. Income tax expense decreased 48.6% to $4.4 million in 1998
from $8.6 million in 1997. Our income tax expense related primarily to United
States federal, state and foreign tax liabilities, which were partially offset
by various foreign sales corporation benefits and research and development
credits. The 1999 effective tax rate was in line with statutory rates at 42.3%.
While no tax benefit was taken for a significant amount of merger related costs
in 1999, benefit was recognized based on changes in estimates regarding the
realizability of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards of certain
acquired companies. The 1998 effective tax rate of 47.2% was higher than
statutory rates because no tax benefit was taken for the $1.7 million of merger
costs related to the NOW acquisition, and no tax benefit was recognized for
operating losses sustained by ACSI in 1998. The significant 1997 effective tax
rate of 57.3% was due in part to the 1997 operating results including the $9.0
million for merger costs related to the ADCS and Lawrence Semiconductor
acquisitions for which no tax benefit was taken.

Minority Interest. Minority interest represents the 30.0% interest held by
K.C. Tech Co., Ltd. in the operations of ADCS-Korea, a South Korean chusik
hoesa, which is a joint venture established to manufacture, sell and distribute
chemicals to the semiconductor and related industries in South Korea.

Net Income Excluding Transaction Related Costs and Other Expenses. Over the
last three years, we have used mergers and acquisitions to accelerate our growth
and broaden our product lines. As a result of this strategy, we have incurred
expenses to consummate these transactions and merge these acquired businesses
into existing operations. Excluding these merger costs and certain severance
charges related to reorganizing the business pursuant to these acquisitions, net
income from recurring operations would have been $19.3 million, or $0.68 per
share-assuming dilution in 1999. This represents a 175.7% increase over $7.0
million, or $0.26 per share-assuming dilution in 1998. On a comparable basis,
1997 net income from recurring operations was $15.4 million, or $0.60 per share-
assuming dilution.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

To date, we have financed our activities through cash from operations, the
sale of equity, external research and development funding and various lease and
debt instruments. Our working capital increased to $121.2 million at December
31, 1999 from $103.9 million at December 31,

31


1998 and $48.9 million at December 31, 1997.

Net cash provided by operations was approximately $13.1 million during 1999,
resulting primarily from improvements in working capital, as compared to cash
provided from operations of $13.3 million during 1998. The cash flow from
operations for 1999 related primarily to net income adjusted for non-cash
charges partially offset by the increase in working capital items, primarily
accounts receivable. In addition, the $9.9 million of merger costs and related
expenses in 1999, reduced the cash generated from operations by approximately
$4.3 million, as $4.4 million were non-cash charges and approximately $1.2
million remained unpaid at December 31, 1999. The improvement in working capital
for 1999 was primarily caused by a decrease in other assets and increases in
accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities. The $1.7 million of
merger costs and related expenses in the third quarter of 1998, reduced the cash
generated from operations by approximately $1.1 million, as approximately $0.6
million remained unpaid at December 31, 1998. Net cash provided by operations in
1997 was approximately $4.1 million. Additionally, the $9.0 million of merger
costs and related expenses in the fourth quarter of 1997, reduced the cash
generated from operations by approximately $7.0 million, as approximately $2.0
million remained unpaid at December 31, 1997.

Our investing activities included capital expenditures of $10.2 million, $15.0
million, and $9.1 million in the years 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The
1999 expenditures were made primarily to support the growth experienced at
several of our manufacturing facilities. The 1998 expenditures primarily
related to installation of additional manufacturing capacity in Danbury,
Connecticut, San Jose, California and our two Texas facilities. The 1997
expenditures included both the installation of SDS manufacturing capacity in the
Danbury, Connecticut facility and an increase in epitaxial capacity in
Epitronics' Arizona facilities.

Among other investing activities, in 1998 we invested approximately $47.9
million raised primarily from a public offering of our common stock into
marketable securities for future working capital requirements and potential
merger and acquisition activities. In July 1997, prior to our acquisition of
MST, it used $5.6 million to purchase four businesses. In addition, we sold
$0.8 million in marketable securities in 1997.

Our financing activities included a March 1998 registered underwritten public
offering of 5,428,000 shares of our common stock. Of such shares, we sold
2,257,000 shares and certain of our stockholders sold 3,171,000 shares. We
received net proceeds from the offering of approximately $62.4 million.

At December 31, 1999, we financed a significant portion of our capital
equipment purchases, particularly the silicon epitaxial capacity, through
capital leases with about $3.8 million of capital lease obligations outstanding.
During 1999 and 1998, we made payments on capital leases of approximately $2.5
million and $2.8 million, respectively. Financial institutions also provided
collateral-based loans for other equipment purchases. In 1999, we made $9.1
million of note payments and during 1998, we made payments on notes of
approximately $6.7 million, with the most significant payment being the
retirement of a mortgage on the Mesa, Arizona Epitronics facility. Our NOW
business has an industrial revenue bond arrangement outstanding in the

32


amount of $2.3 million, which was used for equipment and improvements at its
manufacturing facility and corporate office. At December 31, 1999, $13.2 million
of loans, bonds and financing remained outstanding. Our management believes that
our debt service obligations can be adequately satisfied by cash flows from
operations.

We believe that our existing cash balances, marketable securities, existing
sources of liquidity and anticipated funds from operations will satisfy our
projected working capital and other cash requirements through at least the end
of 2000. However, we also believe the level of financing resources available to
us is an important competitive factor in our industry and we may seek additional
capital prior to the end of that period. Additionally, we consider, on a
continuing basis, potential acquisitions of technologies and businesses
complementary to our current business. There are no present agreements with
respect to any such acquisitions. However, any such transactions may affect our
future capital needs.

Operations Outside the United States

For the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, export sales outside the
United States, including Asia and Europe, accounted for 39.0%, 31.9%, and 30.0%,
respectively, of our revenues. We anticipate that our sales outside the United
States will continue to account for a significant percentage of our revenues.
The November 1999 acquisitions of MST and Newform have increased our European
operations. In addition, we have a wholly-owned subsidiary in Taiwan where we
sell and service several of our product lines. We also have a wholly-owned
subsidiary in South Korea that manufactures and markets environmental abatement
equipment in South Korea and a joint venture agreement with K.C. Tech pursuant
to which we have a 70.0% interest in ADCS-Korea, a South Korean chusik hoesa,
which manufactures, sells and distributes thin film materials to the
semiconductor and related industries in South Korea.

Year 2000 Compliance

We formed an internal compliance team to evaluate our internal information
technology infrastructure and application systems and other non-IT
infrastructure systems to determine whether such systems would operate correctly
with regard to the import, export and processing of date information, including
correct handling of leap years, in connection with the change in the calendar
year from 1999 to 2000, and to evaluate the Year 2000 issue with respect to the
systems of third party partners and suppliers with which we have a material
relationship.

We completed an inventory analysis and risk assessment. As previously planned
and budgeted, we upgraded our core IT Systems to incorporate additional desired
features and functionality including Year 2000 compliant operators. We
completed the necessary upgrades to make the recently acquired businesses Year
2000 compliant by December 31, 1999. In connection with such upgrades, we
expect that our core IT Systems are Year 2000 compliant, and no significant
issues have arisen to date from the calendar change to January 2000. We do not
expect that any additional costs of addressing the Year 2000 issue will have a
material adverse impact on our financial position and results of operations or
cash flows.

We also completed a non-IT system inventory analysis and risk assessment. As
a result of the

33


analysis, no remediation actions were required in order to be Year 2000
compliant. We believe the number of non-IT systems is relatively small and,
therefore, do not expect that any additional costs of addressing the Year 2000
issue for these systems will have a material adverse impact on our operations or
our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

We completed a third party inventory and risk assessment and verified material
Year 2000 compliance of these systems by December 31, 1999. We believe the
number of material third party systems is relatively small. However, until Year
2000 compliance of all third party systems if ascertained, the risk to our
operations and any additional costs relating to these systems is unknown. We
believe that any problems that might arise would involve third party systems
rather than our internal systems. We believe that majority of the risks
associated with Year 2000 non-compliance have been averted as the calendar
turned. Any further risk might be the partial shutdown of a supplier or
strategic partner and its inability to provide supplies and services to us on a
timely basis. We developed a contingency plan addressing potential issues,
ensuring that adequate levels of critical supplies used in our manufacturing
processes were on hand at the end of 1999.

We tested our products for Year 2000 compliance and determined that all of our
products currently available for sale have either successfully passed Year 2000
compliance testing or are not subject to Year 2000 compliance because such
products do not import, export or process date information in any manner.

We incurred approximately $600,000 relating to inventory analysis and risk
assessment of potential Year 2000 difficulties. The funds to cover the costs
incurred were derived from general operations. The costs primarily related to
desktop compliance and standardization to Year 2000 compliance. These Year 2000
expenditures were within our planned organizational budgets and included the
costs of reviewing key operating systems. No IT Systems projects were deferred
because of problems associated with the Year 2000 Issue.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Interest Rate Risk

As of December 31, 1999, our cash included money market securities and
commercial paper. Due to the short duration of our investment portfolio, an
immediate 10% change in interest rates would not have a material effect on the
fair market value of our portfolio, therefore, we would not expect our operating
results or cash flows to be affected to any significant degree by the effect of
a sudden change in market interest rates on our securities portfolio.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

A substantial portion of our sales are denominated in U.S. dollars and, as
a result, we have relatively little exposure to foreign currency exchange risk
with respect to sales made. This exposure may change over time as business
practices evolve and could have a material adverse impact on our financial
results in the future. We do not use forward exchange contracts to hedge
exposures denominated in foreign currencies or any other derivative financial
instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The effect of an immediate 10%
change in exchange rates would not have a material impact on our future
operating results or cash flows.

Report of Independent Auditors

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
ATMI, Inc.

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of ATMI, Inc. as of December 31,
1999 and 1998, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders'
equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1999. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in
the Index at Item 14(a). These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the management of ATMI, Inc. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and schedule based on our
audits. We did not audit the December 31, 1998 financial statements or Valuation
and Qualifying Accounts Schedule Data of MST Analytics, Inc. ("MST"), a wholly-
owned subsidiary, which statements reflect total assets and total revenues
constituting 6% and 12%, respectively, of the related consolidated totals at and
for the year ended December 31, 1998. Nor did we audit the March 31, 1998
financial statements of NOW Technologies, Inc. ("NOW"), a wholly owned
subsidiary, which statements reflect total revenues constituting 8% of the
related consolidated totals for the year ended March 31, 1998 (which was
combined with the accounts of ATMI, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 1997).
Those statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have been
furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to data included for MST
and NOW, for the periods indicated, is based solely on the reports of such other
auditors.

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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting 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 and the reports of the other auditors
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, the
consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the consolidated financial position of ATMI, Inc. at December
31, 1999 and 1998, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999 in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Also, in our opinion, the related consolidated financial statement schedule,
when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken
as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth
therein.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ATMI, Inc.
and its majority-owned subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany accounts
and transactions.

Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Company's Activities

ATMI, Inc. together with its subsidiaries (the "Company") is a leading supplier
of materials, equipment and related services used in the manufacture of
semiconductor devices. The Company targets specialty materials used in front-end
semiconductor manufacture. The Company provides:

. a broad range of ultrahigh-purity semiconductor materials;
. semiconductor materials packaging and delivery systems;
. sensors for the workplace and environment that detect materials as they
move through the workplace;
. point-of-use environmental equipment that abates materials; and
. specialty thin film deposition services that provide coated wafers directly
to customers.

Revenue Recognition


Revenues are recognized upon the shipment of goods.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those
estimates.

Research and Development

Research and development costs, including materials, labor, and overhead
related to self-funded projects, are expensed as incurred.

Marketable Securities and Investments

Highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when
purchased, are classified as cash and cash equivalents. Investments with
maturities greater than three months are classified as marketable securities.

In connection with the Company's strategic alliances and research and
development activities, it has acquired equity securities of certain of its
alliance partners.

F-11


ATMI, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)


1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

The Company accounts for investments in accordance with SFAS No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." The
Company's policy, except for its equity investments in alliance partners, is to
protect the value of its investments portfolio and to minimize principal risk by
earning returns based on current interest rates. All of the Company's marketable
securities are classified as available-for-sale as of the balance sheet date and
are reported at fair value, based on quoted market prices, with unrealized gains
and losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax. The
cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Interest
on these securities is accrued and included in interest income.

Management determines the classification of marketable debt securities at
the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet
date.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in,
first-out (FIFO) method.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization of
property, plant and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over
the estimated useful lives of the assets, which vary from three to thirty-five
years.

Foreign Currency Translation

Adjustments relating to the translation of foreign currency to U.S. dollars
are reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income.
Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in
other income (expense) and have been immaterial.

Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the liability
method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined
based upon differences between financial reporting and the tax basis of assets
and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are
expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents,
marketable securities, accounts receivable, and debt. Marketable securities are
accounted for at fair value. All other financial instruments are accounted for
on an historical cost basis which, due to the nature of these instruments,
approximates fair value at the balance sheet dates.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews on a periodic basis the value of its long-lived assets
to determine whether an impairment exists. In connection with the acquisition of
Delatech, the Company recorded a charge of $3.4 million associated with the
impairment of goodwill related to an existing EcoSys product line (see Note 11).
This charge was based on the estimate of future cash flows on a discounted basis
compared with the carrying value of the goodwill. Goodwill of $3.7 million and
$7.8 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998 is amortized over periods of ten to
twenty years and is stated net of accumulated amortization of $2.2 million and
$1.5 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.


Stock Based Compensation

The Company accounts for employee stock compensation plans in accordance
with Accounting Principle Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees." Under APB No. 25, compensation cost is the excess, if any,
of the quoted market price of the Company's common stock at the grant date over
the amount the employee must pay to acquire the common stock. The Company has
elected to continue to account for its employee stock compensation plans under
APB No. 25. Pro forma disclosures of net income, net income per share-basic and
net income per share- assuming dilution, as if the fair value based method of
accounting had been applied, are presented in Note 10.


Per Share Data

Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated in accordance with FASB
Statement No. 128, "Earnings Per Share".

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 1999, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") 101,
"Revenue Recognition," which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation,
and disclosure of revenue in financial statements filed with the SEC. SAB 101
outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides
guidance for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies. At this time,
the Company is still assessing the impact of SAB 101 on its financial position
and results of operations.

financial condition, and collateral is not generally required. The evaluation of
financial condition is performed to reduce the risk of loss. The Company has not
experienced any material losses due to uncollectible accounts receivable.
Certain transactions with foreign customers are supported by letters of credit.
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts at a level that
management believes is sufficient to cover potential credit losses.

The term loans are collateralized by various equipment, leasehold
improvements and renovations in the Company's Connecticut facility. The
mortgages are collateralized by the building at the Company's Napa, California
facility. The majority of the Company's notes payable are secured by the related
real property or equipment. The Company's credit lines are secured by
substantially all the assets of certain of the Company's subsidiaries and have
available borrowing capacity approximating $1.8 million at December 31, 1999.
The Company is in compliance with the credit line and notes payable covenants.

The bondholders may tender the City of Bloomington, Minnesota bonds at any
time for the principal amount plus accrued interest. As a result, they have
been classified as a current liability. The Company has the option to convert
the bonds to a fixed rate provided all bonds can be remarketed at the fixed
rate. The first fixed rate optional redemption date would be July 1 of the year
that is halfway between the conversion date and July 1, 2005. If redeemed, the
Company must pay 102% and 101% of bond principal in the first and second years
following the first fixed rate optional redemption date, respectively. Prior to
conversion to a fixed rate, the Company has the option to redeem the bonds
without premium.

Interest paid was $1.3 million, $2.3 million, and $2.8 million, for the
years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively.

Certain of the Company's subsidiaries' financing agreements contain
limitations or prohibitions on the payment of dividends without the lender's
consent or in conjunction with the subsidiary's failure to comply with various
financial covenants. The Company has never declared or paid cash dividends on
its capital stock. The Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in
the foreseeable future.

The valuation allowance was eliminated as a result of changes in estimates
regarding the realizability of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards
of certain acquired companies.

As of December 31, 1999, the Company has federal net operating loss
carryforwards of $4.6 million attributable to certain acquired companies and tax
credit carryforwards of $0.2 million. The net operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards will expire at various dates beginning in 2007 through 2019, if
not utilized. Utilization of the net operating losses and credits may be subject
to a substantial annual limitation due to the "change in ownership" provisions
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and similar state provisions.

Income taxes paid for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997
were $9.2 million, $9.4 million and $6.1 million, respectively.

South Korea has granted the Company a five year full income tax exemption,
which expires in 2003, and an additional three year 50% exemption, which expires
in 2006. The effect of the tax exemption was to reduce income tax expense by
$0.2 million and $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.

The former securityholders of the ADCS Group have agreed to indemnify the
Company against losses arising out of certain tax matters. As security for these
tax matters, the former securityholders of the ADCS Group have delivered 700,000
shares of the Company's common stock which they received into escrow (see Note
11). While the possible exposures are difficult to quantify, the Company
believes that, regardless of the probability that liabilities arise, the
potential exposures range from $0 to $22 million depending on the tax matter.
Although the former securityholders of the ADCS Group have agreed to indemnify
the Company against losses arising out of such tax matters, any assessments, if
ultimately determined against the Company, would result in a charge to the
Company's results of operations. During the second quarter 1999, the Company
was notified by the Internal Revenue Service of an assessment of $2.1 million
for certain tax matters. The Company believes that such assessment is without
merit and intends to vigorously defend its position in these tax matters.

9. Profit Sharing Plan

The Company maintains a 401(k) profit sharing plan (the "Plan") covering
substantially all of its employees and is subject to the provisions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The Company's matching
contributions are discretionary by plan year and were $0.4 million, $0.1 million
and $0.1 million for 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

10. Stockholders' Equity

In March 1998, the Company completed a registered underwritten public
offering of 5,428,000 shares, including over-allotments, of common stock at
$29.50 per share. Net proceeds to the Company of $62.4 million were from
2,257,291 shares sold by the Company while 3,170,709 shares were sold by certain
stockholders. Costs of the offering, including underwriting commissions, were
$4.2 million.

stock appreciation rights and restricted stock awards to employees, directors
and consultants of the Company.

Under the terms of these stock plans, nonqualified options granted may not
be at a price of less than 50% of the fair market value of the common stock, and
ISOs granted may not be at a price of less than 100% of fair market value of the
common stock on the date of grant. All grants have been made at fair market
value under the plans. Options are generally exercisable commencing one year
after the date of grant at the rate of 20% per annum on a cumulative basis.
Nonqualified options expire up to ten years from the date of grant, and ISOs
expire five to ten years from the date of grant.

If compensation expense for the Company's plans had been determined for all
stock option grants based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under
those plans, consistent with the method described in SFAS No. 123, the Company's

1999, 1998 and 1997 was $17.18, $14.74 and $17.04, respectively.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP Plan") was approved in May 1998 and
enables all employees to subscribe at six month intervals to purchase shares of
common stock at the lower of 85% of the fair market value of the shares on the
first day or last day of each six month period. A maximum of 500,000 shares is
authorized for subscription. At December 31, 1999, 64,000 shares have been
issued under the ESPP Plan, and no such shares were issued in 1998.

Options to purchase 18,900, 720,520 and 16,000 shares of common stock,
outstanding as of December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, were not
included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their exercise
prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares and,
therefore, their inclusion would be antidilutive.

11. Mergers and Acquisitions

The Company has consummated eight mergers since 1997 each of which has been
accounted for as a pooling of interests. The entities acquired and share
consideration exchanged were as follows:

The former securityholders of the aforementioned entities have agreed to
indemnify the Company from and against certain losses arising out of breaches of
representations and warranties made by the respective securityholders. As
security for these obligations, the former securityholders agreed to escrow a
certain specified amount of the merger consideration. These shares will be
released from escrow in accordance with the terms of the respective merger
agreements.

The Company has reduced retained earnings by $163,000 and $102,000 in 1999
and 1998, respectively, to adjust retained earnings for the different fiscal
year ends of certain of the acquired entities.

In connection with the investigation, analysis and closings of the
aforementioned transactions, the Company recorded merger costs and related
expenses of $10.5 million, $1.7 million and $9.0 million in 1999, 1998, and
1997, respectively. During 1999, the Company reversed approximately $0.6 million
of merger costs accrued in prior years. Included within merger costs and
related expenses in 1999 is a charge of $4.4 million related to the Delatech
acquisition to recognize the impaired value of certain inventory ($1 million)
and goodwill ($3.4 million) associated with an existing environmental equipment
product line. These charges were based on the estimate of future cash flows on a
discounted basis compared with the carrying value of these assets.

11. Mergers and Acquisitions (continued)

For the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, prior to the acquisitions,
revenues and net income of acquired companies included in the financial
statements are as follows (in thousands):



Revenues: 1998 1997
--------- -----------------------------

ATMI............................... $97,874 $101,877
TeloSense, ACSI and Delatech....... $42,994 $ 62,043
NewForm and MST.................... $24,238 $ 13,237
NOW................................ - $ 14,855

Net Income (Loss): 1998 1997
------------------ -----------------------------
ATMI............................... $ 6,465 $ 4,421
TeloSense, ACSI and Delatech....... $(2,024) $ 1,228
NewForm and MST.................... $ 494 $ (762)
NOW................................ - $ 1,508


On July 15, 1997, MST acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of four
operating companies (i) Environmental Monitoring Technology S.A., a Swiss
holding company which owns 100% of the stock of MST Measurement Systems, Inc.;
(ii) Micro-Sensor Technology GmbH; (iii) FPM Analytics, Inc. and (iv) Sensoric
GmbH ("four operating companies"). The aggregate purchase price for the four
operating companies was $18.8 million which was composed of cash of $5.6
million, the issuance of stock, and a two-year promissory note of $0.1 million.


The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the
operating results of the four operating companies have been included in the
Company's consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition (July
15, 1997). The excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair market value
of the net assets acquired of $4.4 million is being amortized over 10 years. The
following unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations for the year
ended December 31, 1997 assume that the acquisition of the four operating
companies occurred as of January 1, 1997 (in thousands, except per share data):




1997
------------

Net revenues $200,256
Income before taxes and minority interest $ 15,485
Net income $ 6,893
Net income per share assuming dilution $ 0.27


12. Comprehensive Income

During 1998, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income." Statement No. 130 requires the reporting of comprehensive
income in addition to net income from operations. Comprehensive income is a more
inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain
financial information that historically has not been recognized in the
calculation of net income.

13. Severance Charge

During the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company terminated the employment of
four executive officers within its Materials division and one executive officer
within its Technologies division and recorded a charge of $2.3 million,
reflected in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Company's 1999
results of operations. As of December 31, 1999, there were no payments charged
against this liability. Payments for this liability will be made in 2000.

14. Commitments and Contingencies


On May 15, 1997, LSL settled patent infringement litigation with an
equipment manufacturer, related to equipment used by LSL that was purchased from
another manufacturer. Under the terms of the related settlement agreement, LSL
paid the manufacturer $2.0 million during 1997 and agreed to purchase reactors
from the manufacturer assuming LSL's business conditions justify such purchases.
LSL had purchased a reactor at an approximate fair market value of $2.5 million
during the year ended December 31, 1997.

In December 1998, a former office employee initiated a legal proceeding
against the Company alleging personal injuries to her minor child (then unborn)
allegedly resulting from her exposure to various chemicals while employed by the
Company. The plaintiffs have claimed damages of $25.0 million and unspecified
exemplary damages. The Company has denied the plaintiffs' legal allegations and
is vigorously defending this action. While the Company cannot predict the
outcome of this proceeding at this time, the Company believes it is without
merit.

In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various
lawsuits and claims. Although the ultimate outcome of any of these legal
proceedings cannot be determined at this time, management, including internal
counsel, does not believe that the outcome of these proceedings, individually or
in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.

15. Segment and Geographic Data


During 1998, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 131 "Disclosure About
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information". The Company has two
segments: ATMI Materials and ATMI Technologies. The reportable segments are
each managed separately because they manufacture and distribute distinct
products with different production processes. The Company evaluates performance
and allocate resources based on operating profit or loss, not including interest
and other income or expense and income taxes. Intercompany sales are not
material among segments or operating divisions. The general corporate assets
primarily include cash and marketable securities, goodwill and other long-lived
assets.
