PART I
Item 1. Business.
ATMI is a leading supplier of materials, equipment and related services used
worldwide in the manufacture of semiconductor devices. ATMI specifically targets
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. ATMI's customers include most of the leading semiconductor
manufacturers in the world.
ATMI has further refined its market focus to target specialty materials used
in front-end semiconductor manufacturing. 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. ATMI has
capitalized on the growth of the semiconductor industry in general, and
front-end processing in particular, through:
o a comprehensive research and development program that has provided a
stream of proprietary and patented products for this market;
o a strategy of delivering a complete materials solution to our
customers including materials, packaging, delivery systems, sensing
and abatement; and
o an aggressive mergers and acquisitions effort that has allowed us to
more rapidly move toward one-stop purchasing for our customers.
ATMI has organized its operations along two business segments: Materials
and Technologies.
Materials provides:
o a broad range of ultrahigh-purity semiconductor materials; and
o semiconductor materials packaging and delivery systems.
Technologies provides:
o sensors for the workplace and environment that detect materials as
they move through the workplace;
o point-of-use environmental equipment that abates materials;
o specialty thin film deposition services that provide coated wafers
directly to our customers; and
o outsourced parts cleaning and semiconductor fabrication tool
maintenance.
ATMI also conducts its venture activities and its government-funded research and
development activities through Technologies.
ATMI's business has evolved to consist of a 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, ATMI believes that its overall
business is less volatile than that of a typical semiconductor capital equipment
supplier. Materials and Technologies accounted for approximately 52% and 48%,
respectively, of ATMI's revenues in 2001, approximately 46% and 54%,
respectively, of its revenues in 2000, and approximately 48% and 52%,
respectively, of its revenues in 1999. Additional financial
3
information about the Segments of the Company can be found in Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Over the last five years, ATMI has achieved a leadership position by
providing a more complete line of products than its competitors through
innovation and acquisitions. ATMI plans to continue its growth through product
line expansion in each of its existing market segments and to leverage its core
technology to create new high growth businesses. Additionally, ATMI expects to
leverage its product offerings that surround the process tools in a
semiconductor fabrication facility, or fab, into a value proposition where ATMI
can manage the lifecycle of material flow through a customer's manufacturing
process, from delivery to abatement, and thereby positively impact the
efficiency of our customers' semiconductor manufacturing processes.
Due to the severe semiconductor industry downturn in 2001 and ATMI's intent
to more aggressively integrate previous acquisitions and reduce costs of
infrastructure, management announced restructuring initiatives in the first and
third quarters of 2001. As a result, ATMI recognized two restructuring charges
totaling $14.6 million on a pre-tax basis: the first was a $12.8 million charge
for severance and other costs, of which $0.6 million is included in cost of
revenues related to a write down of inventory in a product line no longer
strategic to ATMI. The second charge occurred in the third quarter for $1.8
million for severance related costs. The second initiative became necessary as a
result of the unprecedented further decline in end-use semiconductor device
demand. These initiatives involve a number of actions to improve productivity
and align ATMI's organization more closely with its customers, including certain
facility closures and the related relocation of production assets, reduction in
workforce in administrative, operational, and sales and marketing functions and
the outsourcing of non-core activities.
Semiconductor Industry Background
Despite the severe downturn in the semiconductor industry in 2001, the
industry has grown significantly over time as the use of semiconductor devices
has proliferated in a wide variety of consumer and industrial products,
especially in computing, networking and communications equipment. This increase
in demand for semiconductor devices has been fueled by the ability of
semiconductor manufacturers to deliver products with:
o consistently enhanced performance characteristics and functionality;
o improved reliability;
o increased memory capacity; and
o reduced size, weight, power consumption and cost.
These advances have been made possible by innovations in the fabrication
processes, equipment and 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, 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 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
4
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:
o the relative thinness of the films applied to the wafer;
o conformality (ability to coat evenly, especially in holes and trenches
designed into the device);
o purity; and
o 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.
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 and contracted
with the growth and contractions 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
5
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.
Materials Packaging
Semiconductor materials have exceptional purity requirements due to the
extremely low tolerances for impurities and particulates in semiconductor
processing. Liquids and solids used in making devices require special packaging
to minimize exposure to air, airborne contamination and particulates.
Materials Sensing and Monitoring
Semiconductor gases pose unique toxicity and 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.
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.
Epitaxial 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 thin films have
been deposited using the CVD process. A merchant market for epitaxial wafers,
primarily silicon epitaxial wafers, has developed due to the high degree of
expertise and significant capital expenditures required by epitaxy. 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.
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
6
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.
Outsourced Parts Cleaning and Tool Maintenance
With device manufacturers increasing their desire for optimally efficient
manufacturing processes, there is a growing trend for outsourcing services which
are non-essential to the production of devices. Services such as parts cleaning
and tool maintenance, when performed as an outsourced activity, can
significantly increase the up-time of manufacturing equipment and lower the cost
of ownership of these process tools.
ATMI's Strategy
ATMI's objective is to establish and enhance leadership positions in each of
the market segments it serves. ATMI's strategy consists of the following key
elements:
o Target high growth, high margin specialty markets that use ATMI's core
materials technologies and require products that are consumed in the
production process.
o Seek to provide full market-basket solutions, or "one-stop shopping",
by "surrounding the tool" through innovation and acquisitions in each
of ATMI's target markets to help its customers streamline supplier
relationships.
o 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.
o Leverage ATMI's technology leadership by investing extensively in
developing proprietary and patented materials and materials handling
technology which the Company uses to commercialize new products to
meet customer requirements.
o Form strategic alliances, including joint development programs and
collaborative marketing efforts, to accelerate the introduction of
ATMI's products into markets that have manufacturing and/or
distribution barriers.
In summary, ATMI's strategy does not envision a "traditional" materials
supplier-to-customer relationship. In those relationships, suppliers tend to
provide materials to customers based on the cost, quantity and quality of the
materials being supplied. Instead, ATMI has worked to establish partnerships
with its customers based on ATMI's ability to improve the efficiency of our
customers' manufacturing and supply chain processes - thereby lowering the
integrated costs of materials, related equipment and services to our customers.
As a result, ATMI describes itself not simply as a "semiconductor materials
supplier," but as "the source of semiconductor process efficiency."
Businesses and Products
ATMI conducts its operations through two primary business segments:
Materials and Technologies.
Materials
ATMI believes its Materials segment is one of the fastest growing suppliers
of ultrahigh purity semiconductor materials and related packaging and delivery
systems to the semiconductor industry. ATMI has taken advantage of the changes
in the market for materials and delivery systems by:
o developing and commercializing a wide range of "front-end"
semiconductor materials;
o commercializing innovative bulk delivery systems which automatically
deliver materials of the highest
7
purity and consistency to a process;
o developing innovative packaging systems that allow for the
introduction of low volatility liquids and solids to semiconductor
processes;
o developing and commercializing patented low-pressure gas delivery
systems for safe handling and delivery of toxic and hazardous gases to
semiconductor process equipment; and
o developing manufacturing processes to meet the critical purity and
integrity requirements of the microelectronics industry.
In meeting the needs of its customers, which include semiconductor device
manufacturers, chemical suppliers and original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs,
located throughout the world, and anticipating their future requirements, ATMI
seeks:
o to offer the most complete line of consumable and delivery and
packaging system products;
o to offer the most consistent, highest purity materials available;
o to offer the most reliable, innovative equipment products;
o to provide a high level of customer service, technical support and
response offered and to remain cost-effective to ATMI's customers;
o to meet customer needs for statistical quality and process control and
dock-to-stock programs; and
o to continue to meet the industry's needs for advanced materials
required for future generation devices.
Products and Services. Materials has four primary product lines, which
consist of gas delivery systems, liquid materials, liquid delivery systems and
advanced packaging and delivery systems. Materials also provides services
relating to each of these product lines.
Gas Delivery Systems (the SDS(R) or Safe Delivery System). ATMI's patented
SDS(R) 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 adsorbent material at sub-atmospheric pressure.
Sub-atmospheric storage of hazardous gases eliminates or minimizes potential
leaks of gas during transportation and use, thus providing significant safety
and environmental improvements over the traditional high-pressure cylinders. In
addition, SDS(R) products allow more gas to be stored in the cylinder, providing
significantly higher rates of productivity than traditional methods of gas
delivery used in ion implant manufacturing processes. Since ion implantation
processes operate at reduced pressures, the gas can be desorbed or released from
the SDS(R) gas sources using the ion implanter's vacuum pumps. SDS(R) gas
sources can be installed and operated like conventional high-pressure gas
cylinders. These advantages have led major chip manufacturers to adopt this
technology.
To date, ATMI has introduced products using the SDS(R) technology to deliver
several gases, including arsine, phosphine, boron trifluoride, silicon
tetrafluoride and germanium tetrafluoride. Several new products, such as
hydrogen selenide, phosphorus trifluoride and arsenic pentafluoride have been
commercialized recently. Each is used to "dope" silicon wafers using ion implant
processes. All of these SDS(R) 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 ATMI, and for
ATMI by Matheson Tri-Gas, the Company's exclusive distributor for SDS(R) used in
ion implant applications.
ATMI also believes that significant markets exist for SDS(R) technology
outside the ion implant segment. The Company has undertaken extensive
development efforts to identify new markets and products for the SDS(R) and
related technologies. ATMI believes its closely related SAGE(TM) product line
will be applicable to an increasing
8
number of gas delivery applications within the semiconductor industry. ATMI has
commercialized SAGE(TM) CVD applications, including high-density plasma chemical
vapor deposition, or "HDP", plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition, or
"PECVD," and metal organic chemical vapor deposition, or "MOCVD." Another new
product used for managing the gas delivery is the RPM cabinet, which when used
with SAGE gas sources, provides complete gas management of highly toxic gases.
Another related technology, ATMI's VAC(TM) product line is ideal for safe
delivery of corrosive and flammable gases used in semiconductor manufacturing
processes. Although it stores gases at high pressures, VAC(TM) sources provide
significantly improved safety over traditional high-pressure sources by
dispensing gas at sub-atmospheric pressure or low-pressure levels.
Liquid Materials. ATMI produces a broad range of materials that are used in
making semiconductor devices. In addition to the widely used CVD precursors such
as Tetraethylorthosilicate ("TEOS") and related dopants, ATMI also sells thin
film materials used in other semiconductor manufacturing processes, including
phosphorous and boron halides used for doping by diffusion processing. ATMI also
manufactures and sells 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.
In addition, ATMI has introduced products for the emerging low-k applications
for semiconductor manufacturing.
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. ATMI believes its cleaning and container technology produces the
most consistent, highest purity chemicals in the industry and ensures their
quality as delivered into the reactor.
ATMI also produces a wide range of liquid products for photoresist stripping,
edge bead removal, developing and cleaning. In addition, ATMI provides products
serving the rapidly growing market for CMP slurries. ATMI now provides high
performance oxide polishing slurries and expects to introduce advanced metal
slurries.
Liquid Delivery Systems. ATMI designs, manufactures and sells 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. ATMI's 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.
ATMI believes that its 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. ATMI's 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.
Advanced Packaging and Delivery Systems. ATMI manufactures three different
types of NOWPak(R) container assemblies: Bag-in-a-Bottle(TM); Bag-in-a-Can(TM);
and Bag-in-a-Drum(TM), each with its own companion dispense connection system.
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 without compromising their inherent
purity. 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 dispense system insures full utilization of the chemical and improved
safety during dispense by sealing and isolating the chemical from the
environment to further protect the chemical and the operator.
The largest market for NOWPak's packaging is photoresist and related
chemicals used to pattern integrated circuits. These materials are typically
packaged in Bag-in-a-Bottle(TM) containers that range in size from 1 to 10
liters. The NOWPak(R) is also widely used to package photoresist and related
materials for the manufacture of flat panel displays. Here, larger 18-20 liter
Bag-in-a-Bottle(TM) or Bag-in-a-Can(TM) containers are used. Other markets for
the larger volume containers include the pharmaceutical, biotech and laboratory
markets. 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.
9
ATMI also produces packages for high-purity solids under the Newform brand
name. The Company makes high-purity flexible Ultra Clean packaging for the
semiconductor and pharmaceutical industries. With its Newform products, ATMI
packages critical materials and components such as sputtering targets, wafer and
disc shippers and cleanroom components as well as container overwraps. With the
NOWPak(R) liquid packaging system and Newform solids packaging, ATMI is
addressing facets of critical packaging for the microelectronics market.
Technologies
ATMI has taken advantage of its expertise in semiconductor materials
technology to build a comprehensive product portfolio around this core
technology. Effectively, 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, Technologies delivers products
and services that allow its customers to manage materials flow through the
remainder of the semiconductor factory as well as manage the efficiency of their
process tool. Technologies addresses its customers' needs by providing:
o sensing products that protect both the workplace and the environment;
o monitoring products for certain processes that ensure the quality of
the thin film product being produced;
o a full range of abatement products that remove potential environmental
threats from the process exhaust stream;
o specialty thin film deposition services for those customers who do not
desire to perform this operation within their own facilities; and
o parts cleaning and tool maintenance services to ensure cost effective
operation of the customer's process tools.
ATMI believes its Technologies segment is the leading supplier of sensing
products, point-of-use abatement systems, specialty epitaxial deposition
services and parts cleaning and maintenance services to the worldwide
semiconductor industry. The Technologies segment also includes ATMI's ventures
portfolio, which includes the Emosyn smart card device product line and ATMI's
optoelectronic materials activities, while these ventures remain in the start-up
phase.
Products and Services. Technologies includes four primary product lines and
services, which consist of sensing products, point-of-use semiconductor
environmental equipment, deposition services, and outsourcing of process tool
parts cleaning and refurbishing for the semiconductor industry.
Sensing Products. ATMI provides life safety systems to the semiconductor
industry. Because the gases used in semiconductor manufacturing are so toxic
and/or corrosive, manufacturers must install systems that protect employees and
equipment from damage caused by accidental gas releases. ATMI offers a range of
technologies capable of detecting many of the gases used in semiconductor
manufacturing. Combined with its worldwide systems integration capabilities,
ATMI is able to provide customers with a single contact for design,
installation, commissioning and sustaining service on complete life safety
systems.
Satellite(R) series products provide distributed sensors located at each
point requiring gas detection. Electrochemical sensor cells provide cost
effective and reliable detection of many gases used in semiconductor
fabrication. The Satellite's self-check feature provides excellent reliability
and ease of use and is a leading sensor technology for acid gases in a fab.
Additionally, ATMI provides a wide range of infrastructure equipment used in
the integration process. These products include digital and analog input modules
for reporting satellite events, relay output controllers for initiating actions
in response to satellite inputs, and supervisory switches used to maintain the
integrity of the Lon(TM) network system. ATMI also provides a variety of
communications devices, such as the liquid information display for
10
multi-point monitoring, as well as the Satellite(R) and its newest relative, the
Comet, a lower cost non-display Satellite(R)-type product.
Air Composition Monitors ("ACM") use Fourier transformed infrared technology
to allow the fab to determine the presence and composition of many gases that
might be emitted in the fab. This system can detect up to thirteen different
gases per point at one time and provide both qualitative and quantitative
analysis. This system can also be used to identify the source of various unknown
odors in the fab.
Toxic Gas Monitors ("TGM") use molecular emissions spectroscopy to measure
and identify toxic gases by gas group. This system is the leading technology for
sensing the very toxic hydride gases used to dope semiconductor films.
Hydrogen Monitors ("H2M") use a patented acoustical technology that measures
the time of flight of hydrogen in an enclosed tube. ATMI believes this system is
the only system on the market that can detect hydrogen without interference from
other gases such as hydrocarbons. As a result, ATMI believes 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
affect the overall yield of a device.
ATMI also provides a unique and high value added liquid chemical analysis and
control tool. ATMI believes that it is a market leader in the analysis and
control of the active ingredients in CMP slurries. In addition, ATMI believes
that it is 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. ATMI believes it is 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,
ATMI believes it is a global market leader in the manufacture and sale of
point-of-use semiconductor effluent abatement equipment. The Company's strategy
is to grow its market share through the continued development and acquisition of
new semiconductor environmental products and services. ATMI believes 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.
ATMI has 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.
Vector(R) wet scrubbers are designed for cost effective removal of acidic and
high particulate bearing gases commonly used in the wafer fabrication process.
Vector(R) 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(R) scrubber is typically used
in CVD and etch applications. It is the leading treatment system for multi-wafer
chamber CVD tools.
Delatech CDO(R) 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.
Novapure(R) dry chemical scrubbers adsorb and concentrate hazardous effluent
through the use of consumable resins at rates many times that of conventional
effluent treatment methods. ATMI believes that, through its patented adsorption
materials, the Company is 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 the SDS(R)
11
product line. It is also used for etch and certain CVD applications.
Guardian(R) active oxidation scrubbers treat a variety of combustible
materials used in semiconductor processing. The Guardian(R) product line is
designed for high reliability and very high flow rates of combustible gases
typically used in CVD and flat panel display applications.
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.
Technologies operates a service business providing specialty epitaxial
deposition services for silicon, silicon germanium, 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 ATMI. 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. With over 400 "epi" recipes in its data banks and 200+
man-years of "epi" expertise, our fundamental competitive advantages include the
manufacture of high quality epitaxial layers with high yield. In addition, ATMI
differentiates itself by offering quality epitaxial deposition services with
fast turnaround and in flexible volumes.
ATMI believes that it is the only provider offering CVD thin film deposition
services for each of the key materials used in semiconductor devices today, and
that the Company is now a world leader in specialty epitaxial deposition
services. ATMI's 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,
thus decreasing their time to market.
ATMI provides commercial epitaxial deposition services for silicon, silicon
germanium and III-V materials. III-V epitaxial wafers are finding increased 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.
ATMI is currently engaged in several collaborations to develop wide bandgap
epitaxial wafers for future optoelectronic, sensor and power device products.
Furthermore, ATMI is developing a silicon germanium epitaxial process for use in
silicon-based heterojunction devices and enhanced mobility channels for
exceptionally high speed, lower power CMOS integrated circuit for communication
and computation integrated circuits and an ultrathin silicon on sapphire process
for use in high frequency, low power applications. The Company is also
continuing development of epitaxial structures for gallium arsenide-based
electronics devices including heterojunction bipolar transistors and high
electron mobility transistors in collaboration with ATMI's customers.
Outsourced Parts Cleaning and Tool Maintenance. ATMI specializes in
outsourcing of process tool parts cleaning and refurbishing for the
semiconductor industry. Through a developed expertise in proprietary wet and dry
chemical process cleaning, ATMI takes delivery of various process tool parts and
cleans them for reuse in semiconductor manufacturing, thereby significantly
reducing the spare parts cost for the customer and reducing the cost of running
certain manufacturing processes. As part of this service, ATMI will coordinate
and manage schedules with the fab, change out parts, take parts to offsite
facilities, clean and refurbish the parts, and bring the parts back to the fab.
The focus is currently on implant, diffusion and etch tools, and abatement
tools.
Ventures. ATMI maintains 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 the Company's existing core
businesses. The research and development funding that ATMI applies to this
program is enhanced through federal government contract or partner funding in
nearly all cases.
12
Smart Card Device Venture. ATMI, through its Emosyn division, is 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" which 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, the Company expects that smart cards will
see wide use in secure Internet transactions.
ATMI entered this market to leverage certain proprietary advanced
non-volatile materials technology. To facilitate the development of these
integrated circuits, ATMI initially entered into a strategic alliance with a
subsidiary of SMH Swatch ("Swatch"), the largest watchmaker in Switzerland, to
design, develop, manufacture and distribute these products. At the end of the
first quarter 2001, the strategic alliance with Swatch came to an end. Both
parties have agreed to transition market support of existing products and
independently develop next generation products and markets.
ATMI's first smart card products are targeted at the fast-growing markets for
wireless telecommunication subscriber identification module (SIM) cards and
micro-controller-based smart card integrated circuits ("IC"). In July 2001, the
first device family based on the TheseusTM was launched which provided high
density, speed, power and memory partitioning. The Company's 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. ATMI is now focusing on marketing the Theseus family and enhancing
performance and memory solutions from the first generation Theseus family.
Other Venture Activities - GaN Materials. ATMI has oriented much of its
effort in the ventures program area toward the development of electronic and
optoelectronic materials, especially gallium nitride and related nitride alloys.
ATMI believes that its unique technology in this area, in both substrate and epi
layer manufacture, will allow it to enter new rapidly growing markets as either
a supplier of these materials or as a partner in the development of advanced
electronic and optoelectronic devices such as blue laser diodes, high
performance light emitting diodes and high electron mobility transistors.
Customers, Sales and Marketing
ATMI sells and distributes its products worldwide, both directly and through
manufacturers' representatives. Many of ATMI's customers have relationships with
both of ATMI's segments or are acting as collaborators on ATMI's development
programs. For a breakdown of revenue by geography, see Note 14 to the
consolidated Financial Statements.
ATMI distributes its materials and delivery system products to end-use
customers, chemical suppliers and equipment suppliers through its direct sales
force in North America, Europe, Taiwan, Korea and Singapore, complemented by
regional manufacturing representatives in certain parts of Asia and Europe.
Additionally, ATMI's 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. ATMI sells its SDS(R) product
into the ion implant market through an exclusive distribution agreement with
Matheson Tri-Gas.
The businesses within Technologies distribute products both directly and
through various manufacturing representatives.
ATMI distributes its point-of-use environmental equipment and life safety
monitoring equipment to end-use customers and equipment suppliers through its
direct sales force in North America, Europe and Asia, complemented by regional
manufacturing representatives in certain parts of Europe and Asia. ATMI markets
directly to semiconductor end-user facility managers to provide full-fab
environmental and monitoring solutions, as well as installation and on-going
service.
13
ATMI markets and sells its 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 ATMI's sales are to customers in the worldwide
semiconductor industry. 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 have resulted and could result again in significantly reduced
demand for semiconductor materials, capital equipment and wafer processing
services.

Competition
Materials
ATMI's primary competitors in semiconductor materials in the United States
are the Schumacher Division of Air Products Corporation, the Diffusion Systems
Division of Arch Chemical (in CVD precursors), the EKC division of ChemFirst
Corporation and the ACT division of Ashland Chemical (in photolithography
ancillaries). ATMI also competes with these companies outside of the United
States as well as with Yamanaka Hutech Corporation and Kojundo in Asia, and
E.Merck. There are a number of other smaller participants in these markets.
There are currently no direct competitors to ATMI's patented SDS(R) product.
Several companies, however,
15
provide gases in high-pressure containers that compete with the process
capability of SDS(R). There are numerous domestic and foreign companies that
offer products that compete with ATMI's packaging and chemical dispensing system
products. However, ATMI believes that its ability to compete in the markets for
containers and dispensing systems is dependent largely upon its patented NOWPak
technology and its proven ability to enhance and improve its products and
technologies.
Technologies
ATMI's competitors in effluent abatement include CS GmbH, Ebara, Japan
Pionics, and the Edwards Division of British Oxygen Corporation ("BOC Edwards").
The Company's primary competitors in sensing products include the MDA division
of Zellweger Analytics in the United States and Europe, Riken in Japan and
Cosmos and Drager in other areas of Asia.
ATMI has different competitors in each of its primary deposition services
areas. In silicon epi, ATMI competes with Sumitomo (Epitech), Reaction
Technologies, Episil, and a number of specialty wafer manufacturers with their
own epi capabilities. In some product areas, ATMI competes with the major
silicon wafer manufacturers including Wacker, Mitsubishi Silicon America and
Sumitomo. In III-V epi, ATMI competes with Kopin, IQE, Emcore and a number of
other manufacturers.
ATMI has various small, localized competitors that provide a variety of parts
cleaning services to semiconductor facilities. Primary competitors include
Kachina, a division of BOC Edwards, Environclean, a division of Norton Chemical,
Ashland Chemical, Quantum Clean and Pentagon, Inc.
ATMI's Emosyn business is evolving as a commercial presence in a large smart
card IC marketplace. Several large companies are also working to provide
semiconductor devices into that marketplace, including Philips, Atmel, Infineon,
Hitachi and ST Microelectronics.
Research and Development
The Company's research and development expenses consist of personnel and
other direct and indirect costs for internally funded project development.
ATMI's external funding is almost exclusively from various agencies of the
federal government. ATMI also participates in joint development efforts with
certain semiconductor manufacturers and semiconductor equipment OEMs. Total
expenses for research and development for the years ended December 31, 2001,
2000 and 1999 were $31.7 million, $28.2 million and $18.4 million, respectively.
Additionally, ATMI incurred $2.4 million, $6.0 million and $6.2 million of
research and development costs, which were reimbursed by external parties
through contract funding and cost share agreements in 2001, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. Total research and development expenditures, including reimbursed
amounts, represented 16.0%, 11.4% and 12.1% of consolidated revenues in 2001,
2000 and 1999, respectively.
Strategic Alliances
ATMI forms strategic alliances, including joint development programs and
collaborative marketing efforts, to accelerate the introduction of its 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 ATMI's strategic alliances are with leading semiconductor
manufacturers or OEMs, such as Applied Materials, IBM, Lucent Technologies,
Micron Technology, Novellus, Siemens and Texas Instruments, each of which has
participated with the Company in advanced materials and process development
programs. These programs enhance ATMI's core technology base, promote the
introduction of targeted products and reduce ATMI's 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,
16
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(R) gas delivery source
product, marketed through Matheson as an exclusive distributor for the ion
implant market, carries no backlog. We believe that only a small portion of our
order backlog is noncancellable and that the dollar amount associated with the
noncancellable portion is not material. Therefore, we do not believe that
backlog as of any particular date is indicative of future results.
Patents and Proprietary Rights
ATMI has made a significant investment in securing intellectual property
protection for its technology and products. ATMI seeks to protect its technology
by, among other things, filing patent applications for technology considered
important to the development of its business. The Company also relies upon trade
secrets, unpatented know-how, continuing technological innovation and the
aggressive pursuit of licensing opportunities to help develop and maintain its
competitive position.
As of March 1, 2002, ATMI had been awarded 286 United States patents and had
185 United States patent applications pending. Foreign counterparts of certain
of these applications have been filed, or may be filed at an appropriate time.
ATMI decides on a case-by-case basis whether, and in what countries, it will
file counterparts of a United States patent application outside the United
States. ATMI's United States patents expire between 2006 and 2021. ATMI also
holds and is using 32 United States registered trademarks.
ATMI's ability to compete effectively with other companies will depend, in
part, on its ability to maintain the proprietary nature of its technology.
Although the Company has been awarded, has filed applications for, or has 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.
ATMI requires 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 the Company. These agreements provide that all confidential
information developed or made known to the entity or individual during the
course of the entity's or individual's relationship with ATMI is to be kept
confidential and not disclosed to third parties except in specific
circumstances. All of ATMI's employees have entered into agreements providing
for the assignment of rights to inventions made by them while employed by the
Company.
Environmental Regulation
ATMI uses, generates and discharges toxic, volatile or otherwise hazardous
chemicals and wastes in its manufacturing, processing, and research and
development activities. As a result, the Company is subject to a variety of
governmental regulations related to the storage, use and disposal of these
materials. ATMI's failure to comply with present or future laws could result in
fines or other liabilities being imposed on the Company, suspension of
production or a cessation of operations.
The various premises, particularly the premises in Danbury, Connecticut,
may have been contaminated prior to occupancy. ATMI is 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 ATMI 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 the Company related to the environmental condition of the
premises or the cost of defending an environmental action, either of which could
be substantial.
ATMI's activities may also result in the Company's being subject to
additional regulation. Such regulations could require ATMI to acquire
significant additional equipment or to incur other substantial expenses to
comply
17
with environmental laws. ATMI's failure to control the use of hazardous
substances could subject the Company to substantial financial liabilities.
Employees
As of December 31, 2001, ATMI employed a total of 1,044 individuals,
including 342 in sales and administration, 535 in operations and 167 in research
and development. Of these employees, 46 hold Ph.D. degrees and 76 hold other
advanced degrees in electrical engineering, materials science, chemistry,
physics or related fields. None of the Company's employees are covered by
collective bargaining agreements. ATMI has never experienced any work stoppages
and considers its relations with its employees to be good.
During the first and third quarters of 2001, ATMI announced reductions in
workforce as a result of two restructuring initiatives in response to the
downturn in the semiconductor industry. As a result of these restructuring
initiatives, ATMI recognized a restructuring charge of $14.0 million, of which
$5.4 million represents severance costs. Through these restructuring
initiatives, ATMI reduced its worldwide workforce by approximately 21%,
including operations, sales and marketing, and other administrative employees.
Company Information
ATMI was incorporated under the laws of Delaware in 1997, and our predecessor
company was incorporated under the laws of Delaware in 1987. ATMI's headquarters
is located at 7 Commerce Drive, Danbury, Connecticut 06810, and our telephone
number is (203) 794-1100.

ATMI's corporate headquarters is located in Danbury, Connecticut, in a 31,000
square foot leased facility. A five-year lease was executed in early 2001.
The Company is constructing a manufacturing plant of approximately 71,000
square feet for expansion of its operations in Burnet, TX and consolidation of
the existing Burnet and Carrollton, TX facilities. Construction of the facility
is expected to be completed by mid-year 2002.
19
As part of the restructuring initiatives announced during 2001, the Company
has vacated approximately 10,000 square feet of office space in San Jose, CA,
approximately 20,000 square feet of space in Buffalo Grove, IL and the entire
facility in Milpitas, CA. The Company is actively seeking to sublease the space
in these facilities.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
ATMI has been notified by the Internal Revenue Service of an assessment of
$2.1 million for certain tax matters related to its Advanced Delivery and
Chemical Systems subsidiary. Although ATMI believes that this assessment is
without merit and intends to vigorously defend its position on these tax
matters, the Company cannot predict whether it will be successful in defending
against the assessment or the amount of any final assessment against the
Company.
In July 1999, ATMI filed suit against a company, alleging infringement of
certain liquid delivery system patents. Later in 1999, that company filed suit
against ATMI alleging infringement of a particular semiconductor process patent.
In March 2001, an agreement was reached that addressed the settlement of both
claims. Although the terms of the settlement remain confidential, ATMI received
a payment in the settlement, which has been recorded in the financial statements
as other income, net of related expenses.
In addition, in the normal course of business, ATMI is involved in various
lawsuits and claims. Although the Company 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 ATMI's financial
position or results of operations.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
No matter was submitted to a vote of security holders, through the
solicitation of proxies or otherwise, during the fourth quarter of the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2001.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
Overview
ATMI is a leading supplier of materials, equipment and related services used
worldwide in the manufacture of semiconductor devices. ATMI specifically targets
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". ATMI's customers
include most of the leading semiconductor manufacturers in the world.
ATMI has organized its operations along two business segments: Materials and
Technologies. The Materials segment provides products that are used in the
semiconductor manufacturing process and related packaging and delivery systems.
The Technologies segment provides products and services that sense and
environmentally control these materials while also providing specialized thin
film deposition and outsourced parts cleaning and tool maintenance services to
semiconductor device manufacturers. The Technologies segment also includes
ATMI's venture and government funded research and development activities.
The semiconductor industry and the semiconductor equipment industry in
particular have been highly cyclical and have experienced periods of
overcapacity at various times, resulting in significantly reduced demand for
semiconductor materials, capital equipment and wafer processing services. The
semiconductor industry is currently experiencing a severe downturn of
unprecedented magnitude that has been ongoing for several quarters. According to
industry research, wafer starts in December 2001 were 29% lower than peak
production levels in November 2000, and equipment orders in December 2001 were
77% lower than peak levels in September 2000. ATMI's 2001 operating results have
been significantly impacted by the current downturn, especially with regard to
our product lines that track industry capacity. The decline in wafer starts
throughout the industry stopped in the fourth quarter of 2001, and in fact,
while not significant, there has been slight incremental monthly improvement in
wafer starts data during the fourth quarter of 2001. However, lack of visibility
remains and the level of recovery in the near term is uncertain. With regard to
capital equipment spending, there remains substantial over-capacity on a global
basis. Currently, there appears to be some advanced technology equipment
spending, but the prospects for significant capacity expansion is unlikely in
the near term.
ATMI has completed seven acquisitions during the three years ended December
31, 2001, six of which have been accounted for as pooling of interests. As a
result, the Company's consolidated financial statements have been restated to
reflect the results of these six acquired companies. The 2000 acquisition of the
minority interest of ATMI's ADCS Korea joint venture was accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting.
23
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
General
Management's discussion and analysis of ATMI's financial condition and
results of operations are based upon the Company's consolidated financial
statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial
statements requires ATMI to make estimates and judgments that affect the
reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the
Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to bad debts,
inventories, marketable securities and investments, intangible assets, income
taxes, restructuring charges, and contingencies and litigation. The Company
bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions
that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which
form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may
differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its
more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its
consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements ("SAB 101"), as
amended by SAB 101A and 101B. SAB 101 requires that four basic criteria must be
met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services rendered; (3) the fee is fixed and
determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Determination of
criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed
nature of the fee charged for products delivered and services rendered and
collectibility of those fees. The Company's revenues from product sales are
recognized upon title transfer, which generally occurs upon shipment. Service
revenue is generally recognized ratably over the period of the related contract,
or if not under contract, when service is provided. Should changes in conditions
cause management to determine these criteria are not met for certain future
transactions, revenue recognized for any reporting period could be adversely
affected. A provision for the estimated cost of warranty is recorded when
revenue is recognized. The Company's estimate of costs to service its warranty
obligations is based on historical experience and expectation of future
conditions. Should actual product failure rates differ from the Company's
estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required.
Bad Debt
The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses
resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. If the
financial condition of the Company's customers were to deteriorate, resulting in
an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be
required.
Inventories
The Company writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence or
unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and
estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market
conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected
by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required.
Marketable Securities and Investments
The Company holds minority interests in companies having operations or
technology in areas within or related to its strategic focus, some of which are
in publicly traded companies whose share prices are highly volatile and some of
which are in private companies whose value is difficult to determine.
Investments in private companies are included in the consolidated balance sheets
under the caption goodwill and other long-term assets, net. ATMI
24
records an impairment charge when it believes an investment has experienced a
decline in value that is other than temporary. Future adverse changes in market
conditions or poor operating results of underlying investments could result in
losses or an inability to recover the carrying value of the investments that may
not be reflected in an investment's current carrying value, thereby possibly
requiring an impairment charge in the future.
Goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets
Goodwill associated with the excess purchase price over the fair value of
assets acquired and other identifiable intangible assets, such as patents and
trademarks and covenants not to compete, are currently amortized on the
straight-line method over their estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 20
years.
These assets are currently reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable.
Restructuring
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, the Company recorded
significant charges in connection with restructuring initiatives. These charges
include estimates related to employee separation costs, plant closing costs,
early lease termination expenses and various other asset and working capital
write-offs or write-downs. Although management does not anticipate significant
changes, the actual costs may differ from these estimates.
Income Taxes
The carrying value of the Company's net deferred tax assets assumes that the
Company will be able to generate sufficient future taxable income in certain tax
jurisdictions, based on estimates and assumptions. If these estimates and
related assumptions change in the future, the Company may be required to record
additional valuation allowances against its deferred tax assets resulting in
additional income tax expense in the Company's consolidated statement of
operations. Management evaluates the realizability of the deferred tax assets
and assesses the adequacy of the valuation allowance quarterly. Likewise, in the
event that the Company was to determine that it would be able to realize its
deferred tax assets in the future in excess of its net recorded amount, an
adjustment to the deferred tax assets would increase income in the period such
determination was made.

Segment Data
The Company has two reportable operating segments: Materials and
Technologies. The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on
segment operating profit or loss, excluding non-recurring expenses, interest,
other income or expense, and income taxes. The accounting policies of the
reportable operating segments are the same as those described in the summary of
significant accounting policies in the Company's Consolidated Financial
Statements. Intercompany sales are not material among operating segments. The
general corporate assets include primarily cash, cash equivalents, marketable
securities, goodwill and other long-lived assets. See Note 14 to the

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999
Revenues. Revenues decreased 28.8% to $213.5 million in 2001 from $300.0
million in 2000, and increased 48.1% in 2000 from $202.5 million in 1999. The
2001 decrease in revenues was primarily attributable to the overall downturn in
the semiconductor industry, which affected both segments of ATMI's
business--Materials and Technologies. The Materials segment experienced a
revenue decline of 19.7%, while Technologies revenues declined 36.7% from 2000
levels. In 2001, Materials revenues were down significantly in certain liquid
chemistry, gases, and delivery equipment product lines. During 2001, the
Technologies segment experienced steep revenue declines in the environmental
treatment equipment product lines and in thin film deposition services product
lines, with modest declines experienced in gas monitoring systems product lines
and parts cleaning. The increase in sales between 2000 and 1999 was driven by
the growth in the semiconductor industry, as well as increased market
penetration and new product introductions. Materials revenues increased 42.9% in
2000 from 1999 levels, mainly as a result of increased market penetration of gas
delivery systems, and volume gains in materials, liquid delivery systems and
high purity packaging product lines. Technologies revenues increased 52.9% in
2000 from 1999 levels, led by significant growth in thin film deposition
services, the environmental and sensing product lines, and ATMI's Emosyn
business.
Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased 41.1% to $92.6 million in 2001 from
$157.2 million in 2000. Gross margin decreased to 43.4% in 2001 compared to
52.4% in 2000. Excluding special charges of $1.7 million related to inventory
write downs, gross profit decreased 40.0% to $94.3 million in 2001 from $157.2
million in 2000. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit, excluding the
special charges, declined to 44.2% in 2001 from 52.4% in 2000. The decrease in
gross profit was primarily attributable to steep volume declines in the
environmental treatment equipment, thin film deposition services, and liquid
chemistry and delivery equipment product lines. In 2000, gross profit increased
46.9% to $157.2 million from $107.1 in 1999. Gross margin decreased slightly to
52.4% in 2000 from 52.9% in 1999. The decrease was due in large part to factors
within the Technologies segment: end-of-year softness in the environmental
sensing and abatement equipment product lines, manufacturing inefficiencies in
thin film deposition services due to the addition and continued ramp-up of
manufacturing capacity to support growth, and a higher percentage of total
revenues generated by the Emosyn business, which operates at lower margins than
other ATMI businesses and product lines. Partially offsetting these declines
were favorable product mix shifts in the high purity packaging product lines,
and materials and delivery systems in the Materials segment.
Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses
increased 12.5% to $31.7 million in 2001 from $28.2 million in 2000. As a
percentage of revenues, research and development expenses increased to 14.9% in
2001 from 9.4% in 2000, driven primarily by the significant revenue decline in
2001 compared to 2000. Despite the semiconductor industry downturn and weakened
business performance in both the Materials and Technologies segments, ATMI
continued R&D spending on targeted programs to ensure that we have the products
our customers need for future generation chip manufacturing processes, with a
particular emphasis on advanced interconnect production processes. In 2000,
research and development expenses increased 53.7% to $28.2 million from $18.4
million in 1999. The increase represented the Company's continued efforts to
develop advanced materials, including development efforts on the SDS(R) and
chemicals product lines, and continued development
27
work in the sensing and abatement product lines. Additionally, the Company
continued to support development efforts in the Emosyn and GaN materials
ventures. As a percentage of revenues, research and development spending
remained relatively flat at 9.4% in 2000 compared to 9.1% in 1999.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses were $73.5 million in 2001, compared to $71.9 million in
2000, representing an increase of 2.2%. Excluding a special charge of $2.5
million for the write down of certain accounts receivable balances, selling,
general and administrative expenses decreased 1.3% to $71.0 million in 2001 from
$71.9 million in 2000. Due to the restructuring efforts undertaken in 2001,
selling, general and administrative costs in the fourth quarter of 2001 were
significantly lower than in the beginning of the year. Therefore, the quarterly
run rate for selling, general and administrative expenses is lower going into
2002 than it was in the first quarter of 2001. In 2001, selling, general and
administrative expenses were 34.4% of revenues, compared to 24.0% in 2000. The
increase as a percentage of revenues was primarily the result of the significant
decline in revenues in 2001 compared to 2000. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased 12.7% to $71.9 million in 2000 from $63.8
million in 1999. As a percentage of revenues, these expenses declined to 24.0%
in 2000 from 31.5% in 1999. The decrease, as a percentage of revenues, was due
to decreased administrative costs resulting from continued cost savings
initiatives tied to the integration activities of business acquisitions, and the
decrease in executive compensation paid to members of management of certain
acquired businesses. Offsetting the cost savings were increases in legal costs
associated with defending and protecting the Company's intellectual property,
costs associated with implementation of an enterprise-wide information system,
and a full year of costs of operating the Company's new Asian sales and
distribution facilities.
Restructuring Charge. Operating results for 2001 include a $14.0 million
charge for severance and other costs associated with restructuring initiatives
announced by management during the first and third quarters of 2001. These
charges include costs related to plant closings, lease termination fees, and
various other assets and working capital write-offs or write-downs. An
additional $0.6 million charge related to a write down of inventory in a product
line no longer strategic to ATMI is included in cost of revenues.
Merger Costs and Related Expenses. The 2000 operating results include $1.5
million of merger and related costs incurred in connection with professional
fees and transaction costs related to the July 2000 ESCA acquisition. 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 the November
1999 acquisitions of MST and Newform and $2.8 million of investment banking
fees, legal fees 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 also 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.
Operating Income (loss). For 2001, the Company generated an operating loss of
$26.7 million, compared to operating income of $55.6 million in 2000.
Operations, excluding the restructuring charges of $14.0 million and special
charges related to inventory and accounts receivables write downs of $1.7
million and $2.5 million, respectively, generated a loss of $8.4 million in
2001, compared to operating income of $57.1 million, excluding merger and
related costs of $1.5 million in 2000. The decrease reflects the effects of the
significant semiconductor industry downturn in 2001 and its effect on coverage
of ATMI's increased fixed cost base. Materials operating income decreased 56.5%
to $16.0 million in 2001 compared to $36.7 million in 2000. The Technologies
segment generated an operating loss of $28.6 million in 2001, compared to
operating income of $20.5 million in 2000, representing a decrease of $49.1
million. Both segments were severely impacted by reduced volumes in most product
lines, which drove lower gross margins. In 2000, operating income, including the
recognition of merger and related costs, increased almost four fold to $55.6
million from $15.0 million in 1999. As a percentage of revenues, operating
income increased to 18.5% in 2000 compared to 7.4% in 1999. The revenue growth
experienced in 2000 drove considerable operating income increases. Materials
operating income increased 89.6% to $36.7 million in 2000 from $19.3 million in
1999. The increase was driven by increased market penetration of gas delivery
systems, volume gains in materials, liquid delivery systems and high purity
packaging product lines, and improved leveraging of Materials' fixed overhead
structure. The significant revenue increase in 1999 combined with stronger
margins
28
and cost containment initiatives resulted in higher operating income within
Materials. Materials operating income, as a percentage of Materials' revenues,
was 26.5% and 20.0% for 2000 and 1999, respectively. Technologies' operating
income increased to $20.5 million in 2000, from $5.5 million in 1999. The
increase was driven by significant growth in thin film deposition services, the
environmental and sensing product lines, and ATMI's Emosyn business, and
increased operating leverage through a focus on overhead cost reduction in this
segment. Investments in research and product development within Emosyn and the
Company's other ventures are reflected in Technologies operating income.
Technologies operating income, as a percentage of Technologies revenues, was
12.6% and 5.2% in 2000 and 1999, respectively.
Interest and Other Income, Net. Interest and other income, net, decreased to
$11.1 million in 2001 from $14.9 million in 2000. The 2001 results include the
positive impact of a settlement of certain patent litigation, net of related
expenses, and a $2.6 million gain from the sale of available-for-sale
securities, offset by a write down of approximately $0.4 million for a decline
in fair value of other available-for-sale securities. Interest income decreased
40.6% to $4.7 million in 2001 from $7.8 million in 2000, as a result of the
lower average cash balances on hand and lower interest rates. Interest expense
decreased 4.2% to $1.195 million in 2001 from $1.247 million in 2000, despite
the higher debt balance due to ATMI's fourth quarter convertible debt offering
of $115.0 million, mainly as a result of interest capitalization on capital
construction projects. In 2000, interest and other income, net, increased to
$14.9 million from $3.9 million in 1999. In 2000, other income included a gain
of approximately $9.5 million on the sale of certain marketable equity
securities by the Company, offset by a write-off of a $1.3 million cost basis
investment. Interest income increased to $7.8 million in 2000 from $4.4 million
in 1999 due to proceeds received of approximately $63.5 million related to the
Company's public stock offering in April 2000 and increased cash balances
derived from improved operating results of the Company.
Income Taxes. In 2001, the income tax benefit was $5.8 million, compared to
income tax expense of $26.5 million in 2000. The decline was due to the
Company's operating losses as a result of the semiconductor industry downturn
and the restructuring efforts undertaken by management during 2001. The
effective tax rate for 2001 was 37.6%, and differs from the Federal statutory
rate of 35% primarily because of state and foreign income taxes, foreign sales
corporation benefits, research and development credits, and reduced
profitability. Income tax expense increased 243.1% to $26.5 million in 2000 from
$7.7 million in 1999. The 2000 effective tax rate was 37.6%. The 1999 effective
tax rate was 41%. The decline in the effective rate in 2000 was based on the
fact that there was a declining impact of acquired companies' historic tax rates
on restated financial statements in that year. ATMI incurred non-deductible
merger costs in 1999 and recognized benefits based on changes in estimates
regarding the realizability of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards
of certain acquired companies.
Minority Interest. Minority interest represented the 30.0% interest held
by K.C. Tech Co., Ltd. in the operations of ADCS-Korea, which was a joint
venture established to manufacture, sell and distribute chemicals to the
semiconductor and related industries in South Korea. In the fourth quarter
of 2000, ATMI purchased the 30% interest in the operations of ADCS-Korea from
the former joint venture partner, which eliminated the minority shareholder's
interest in earnings.
Net Income (loss) per Share. Net loss per share-assuming dilution was $0.33
for 2001, compared to earnings per share-assuming dilution of $1.44 for 2000. On
a pro-forma basis in 2001, excluding restructuring charges, special charges, and
one-time gains due to a legal settlement and the sale of investments, the net
loss was $2.9 million or $0.10 per diluted share, compared with pro-forma 2000
net income of $40.0 million or $1.32 per diluted share, and $19.6 million or
$0.68 per diluted share in 1999, which excludes merger and related costs
pursuant to acquisitions, certain severance costs related to reorganizing the
businesses pursuant to these acquisitions, and one-time gains associated with
the sale of investments. Weighted average shares outstanding-assuming dilution
was 29.6 million for 2001 compared to 30.3 million in 2000. The difference in
weighted average shares outstanding-assuming dilution between 2001 and 2000 is
primarily the result of excluding the effect of shares held in escrow and
common-stock equivalents due to the antidilutive effect of including those
shares. Weighted average shares outstanding-assuming dilution increased to 30.3
million shares for the year ended December 31, 2000, from 28.7 million shares
for the year ended December 31, 1999. The increase in 2000 primarily resulted
from the completion of the April 4, 2000 public offering of 1.5 million shares.
29
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999
To date, ATMI has financed its activities principally through cash from
operations, the sale of equity, the issuance of convertible debt securities,
external research and development funding and various other lease and debt
instruments. The Company's working capital increased to $255.3 million at
December 31, 2001 from $203.0 million at December 31, 2000, and $121.3 million
at December 31, 1999.
Net cash provided by operations was approximately $24.1 million in 2001,
compared to $9.1 million during 2000 and $13.2 million during 1999. Despite
weakened operating results during 2001, cash flow from operations increased
primarily as a result of increased focus on accounts receivable collections
activities. Excluding cash received from ATMI's convertible debt offering in the
fourth quarter of 2001, management reduced working capital by approximately
$59.2 million during 2001, or 29.2%. The cash flow from operations for 2000
resulted primarily from improvements in operating results compared to 1999,
substantially offset by increased working capital requirements--mainly accounts
receivable and inventory. In addition, the $1.5 million of merger costs in 2000
reduced the cash generated from operations by approximately $1.0 million, with
approximately $0.5 million remaining unpaid at December 31, 2000. In 1999,
operating cash flows improvement was driven primarily from an improvement in
operating results, partially offset by increases in working capital accounts and
deferred taxes. 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.
Net cash used by investing activities was $108.3 million, $23.9 million and
$10.7 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Capital expenditures were
$63.0 million, $29.5 million and $10.7 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. The significant increase in 2001 capital expenditures primarily
related to installation of compound semiconductor manufacturing capacity at the
Company's new epitaxial services facility in Phoenix, Arizona, the construction
of a new liquid materials manufacturing facility in Burnet, Texas, and the
expansion of the Danbury, Connecticut research and development facility. In
2000, the capital expenditures primarily related to installation of additional
manufacturing capacity in the Company's Danbury, Connecticut operations, and for
the company's enterprise-wide information systems. The 1999 expenditures were
made primarily to support the growth experienced at several of the Company's
manufacturing facilities. During 2001, the Company made equity investments in
two strategic partners for the development of advanced materials totaling
approximately $6.7 million. During the fourth quarter of 2000, the Company
purchased K.C. Tech Co., Ltd.'s 30% interest in the operations of ADCS-Korea for
approximately $7.2 million, of which $5.0 million was paid in 2000 and
approximately $2.0 million was paid in 2001. During 2001 and 2000, the Company
invested approximately $40.1 million and $5.3 million, respectively, in certain
interest-bearing marketable securities and publicly traded equity securities.
During 2001 and 2000, the Company received net proceeds of $3.5 million and
$15.9 million, respectively, related to the sale of certain available-for-sale
investments.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $124.5 million and $64.1
million in 2001 and 2000, respectively. Net cash used by financing activities
was $8.6 million in 1999. During 2001, the Company completed the sale of $115.0
million of 5.25% convertible subordinated notes due November 2006, and received
net proceeds from the sale of approximately $111.6 million. During 2001, the
Company also entered into a $20.0 million bank financing agreement for the
purchase of additional silicon epitaxial capacity, of which approximately $15.0
million was drawn, and $13.5 million remains outstanding at December 31, 2001.
As of December 31, 2001, $5.0 million remains available under this bank
financing agreement. As of February 14, 2002, pursuant to the terms of the
credit facility, this bank financing agreement has expired. As allowed under the
terms of the bank financing agreement and the capital lease obligations, the
Company has decided to pay down certain long-term debt and capital lease
obligations. The Company intends to pay down the entire $13.5 million
outstanding on the $20.0 million bank financing agreement and approximately $4.8
million of capital lease obligations outstanding at December 31, 2001 during the
first quarter of 2002, for a total expected payment of $18.3 million. As of
December 31, 2001, $0.8 million is available under other credit lines. The
Company made payments on capital leases of approximately $2.8 million, $2.7
million and $2.5 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Company made
payments on notes and bonds of approximately $5.3 million, $2.9 million and $9.6
million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, including the retirement of a
mortgage on the Mesa, Arizona facility in 1999. During 2001, 2000 and 1999, the
Company received net proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options and
employee stock purchase plan shares of $2.6 million, $6.3 million
30
and $2.2 million, respectively. At December 31, 2001, $137.0 million of
convertible notes, loans, bonds, capital lease obligations and financing
remained outstanding.
Following is a summary of consolidated debt, lease and capital expenditure
obligations at December 31, 2001 (see Notes 4, 5 and 6 of the consolidated
financial statements), in thousands:

======== ======== ======== ======== =======
ATMI has agreed not to allow any of its significant subsidiaries or the
subsidiaries of those significant subsidiaries to incur any subordinated debt
while the convertible subordinated notes are outstanding without such subsidiary
first entering into an unconditional guarantee of the notes on a subordinated
basis. This restriction may limit those subsidiaries' ability to obtain
subordinated debt on favorable terms and conditions or at all.
ATMI believes that the Company's existing cash and cash equivalents and
marketable securities balances, existing sources of liquidity, available lines
of credit and anticipated funds from operations will satisfy the Company's
projected working capital and other cash requirements through at least the end
of 2002. However, management also believes the level of financing resources
available to the Company is an important competitive factor in its industry and
management may seek additional capital prior to the end of that period.
Additionally, management considers, on a continuing basis, potential
acquisitions of technologies and businesses complementary to the Company's
current business. There are no present agreements with respect to any such
acquisitions. However, any such transactions may affect the Company's future
capital needs.
Operations Outside the United States
For the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, sales outside the
United States, including Asia and Europe, accounted for 43.0%, 45.0% and 38.9%,
respectively, of the Company's revenues. Management anticipates that the
Company's sales outside the United States will continue to account for a
significant percentage of total revenues. The July 2000 acquisition of ESCA and
the November 1999 acquisitions of MST and Newform have increased the Company's
European operations. In addition, the Company has a wholly-owned subsidiary in
Taiwan where the Company sells and services several product lines. The Company
also has a wholly-owned subsidiary in South Korea that manufactures, sells and
distributes environmental abatement equipment and thin-film materials to the
semiconductor and related industries in South Korea.
Cautionary Statements Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995
Forward-Looking Statements
The statements contained in this report which are not historical are
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended. Examples of forward-looking statements include, without limitation,
statements by ATMI regarding financial projections, expectations for demand and
sales of new and existing products, market and technology opportunities,
business strategies, business opportunities, objectives of management for future
operations and semiconductor industry and market segment growth. In addition,
when used in this report, the words
31
"anticipate," "plan," "believe," "estimate," "expect" and similar expressions as
they relate to the Company or its management are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements involve risks and
uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those discussed in, or
implied by, the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors
including, but not limited to, changes in the pattern of semiconductor industry
demand, the markets for or customer interest in the Company's products, product
and market competition, delays or problems in the development and
commercialization of products, technological changes affecting the competencies
of ATMI, problems or delays associated with its restructuring activities,
problems or delays in integrating acquired operations and businesses into ATMI,
and unanticipated internal and/or third-party delays. The cautionary statements
made in this report should be read as being applicable to all related
forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this report.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Interest Rate Risk
As of December 31, 2001 the Company's cash and cash equivalents included
money market securities, municipal bond obligations and commercial paper. Due to
the short maturity of the Company's investment portfolio, an immediate 10%
change in interest rates would not have a material effect on the fair value of
the Company's portfolio; therefore, the Company would not expect its operating
results or cash flows to be affected to any significant degree by the effect of
a sudden change in market interest rates on the Company's securities portfolio.
As of December 31, 2001, a majority of the Company's debt carries fixed interest
rates; therefore, the Company would not expect its operating results or cash
flows to be significantly affected by the effect of a sudden change in market
interest rates.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
A substantial portion of the Company's sales are denominated in U.S. dollars
and, as a result, the Company has relatively minimal 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 impact on the
Company's financial results in the future. The Company does 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 be expected to
have a material impact on the Company's future operating results or cash flows.

Report of Independent Auditors
The Board of Directors and Stockholders of ATMI, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ATMI, Inc. as of
December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 2001. Our audits also included the financial
statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 14(a). These financial statements
and schedule are the responsibility of ATMI, Inc.'s management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. 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 provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of ATMI, Inc. at
December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the consolidated results of their operations and
their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when
considered in relation to the basic 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 ("ATMI" or the "Company"), after elimination of
intercompany accounts and transactions.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year
presentation.
Company Activities
ATMI is a leading supplier of materials, equipment and related services used in
the manufacture of semiconductor devices. The Company specifically targets the
"front end" semiconductor materials market. The Company provides:
o a broad range of ultrahigh-purity semiconductor materials; o
semiconductor materials packaging and delivery systems; o sensors for the
workplace and environment that detect materials as
they move through the workplace;
o point-of-use environmental equipment that abates materials; o specialty
thin film deposition services that provide coated wafers
directly to customers; and
o outsourced parts cleaning and semiconductor fabrication tool
maintenance.
General
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires
management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its
estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, marketable
securities and investments, intangible assets, income taxes, restructuring
charges, and contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on
historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for
making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are
not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions and such differences could
be material to the financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin
No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements ("SAB 101"), as amended by
SAB 101A and 101B. SAB 101 requires that four basic criteria must be met before
revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2)
delivery has occurred or services rendered; (3) the fee is fixed and
determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Determination of
criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed
nature of the fee charged for products delivered and services rendered and
collectibility of those fees. The Company's revenues from product sales are
recognized upon title transfer, which generally occurs upon shipment. Service
revenue is generally recognized ratably over the period of the related contract,
or if not under contract, when service is provided. A provision for the
estimated cost of warranty is recorded when revenue is recognized. The Company's
estimate of costs to service its warranty obligations is based on historical
experience and expectation of future conditions. Should actual product failure
rates differ from the Company's estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty
liability would be required.

ATMI, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs
The Company includes all shipping and handling billings within revenues, and
freight costs incurred for product shipments within cost of revenues.
Bad Debt
Credit is extended to commercial customers based on an evaluation of their
financial condition, and collateral is not generally required. The evaluation of
financial condition is performed to reduce the risk of loss. The Company
maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from
the inability of its customers to make required payments.
Risks and Uncertainties
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents,
marketable securities, and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash,
cash equivalents, and marketable securities primarily in market rate accounts,
corporate debt obligations and U.S. Treasury obligations. The Company performs
ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and generally
requires no collateral from its customers. The Company utilized one vendor to
manufacture and distribute product within the Materials segment that accounted
for approximately 16%, 14% and 13% of consolidated revenues in 2001, 2000 and
1999, respectively. The Company had amounts due from one customer that accounted
for approximately 15% and 16% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2001 and
2000, respectively.
Research and Development
Research and development costs primarily relate to self-funded projects and
include materials, labor, and overhead, and are expensed as incurred. The
Company also incurs research and development costs, which are funded by external
sources. Contract funding amounts are classified within cost of revenues and
cost share agreement funding is classified within research and development
expense.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, Marketable Securities and Investments
Highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when
purchased, are classified as cash and cash equivalents. Investments in publicly
traded securities with maturities greater than three months are classified as
marketable securities.
The Company holds minority interests in companies having operations or
technology in areas within or related to its strategic focus, some of which are
in publicly traded companies whose share prices are highly volatile and some of
which are in private companies whose value is difficult to determine.
Investments in private companies are included in the consolidated balance sheets
under the caption goodwill and other long-term assets, net. ATMI records an
impairment charge when it believes an investment has experienced a decline in
value that is other than temporary.
F-8
ATMI, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The Company accounts for marketable securities and investments in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." 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
(loss), 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. During 2001, the Company realized a gain of $2.6 million from
the sale of certain available-for-sale equity securities, offset by a write down
of approximately $0.4 million for an other-than-temporary decline in fair value
of other available-for-sale equity securities. During 2000, the Company realized
a $9.5 million gain on the sale of certain available-for-sale equity securities,
offset by a loss of $1.3 million on a different investment. These amounts are
included in other income for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in,
first-out method. The Company writes down its inventory for estimated
obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost
of inventory and estimated market value based upon assumptions about future
demand and market conditions.
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 as follows: buildings, twenty to forty
years; machinery and equipment, three to ten years; furniture and fixtures, five
to ten years; and leasehold improvements are amortized over the lease term.
Interest cost capitalized in 2001 was $1.0 million. No interest was capitalized
in 2000 and 1999.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company's foreign subsidiaries operate primarily using local functional
currencies. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are
translated using exchange rates in effect at the end of the period, and revenues
and expenses are translated using average exchange rates for the period. The
resulting translation adjustments are included in a separate component of
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Gains or losses resulting from
foreign currency transactions are included in other income (expense) and have
not been significant.
Income 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 the financial reporting and the tax basis of assets and
liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to
taxable income in the periods in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities
are expected to be realized or settled.

ATMI, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents,
marketable securities, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and debt.
Marketable securities are accounted for at fair value. All other financial
instruments are accounted for on a historical cost basis, which due to the
nature of these instruments, approximates fair value at the balance sheet dates.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews on a periodic basis the value of its long-lived assets to
determine whether impairment exists. The Company assesses these assets for
impairment based on estimated future cash flows from these assets.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill associated with the excess purchase price over the fair value of assets
acquired and other identifiable intangible assets, such as patents and
trademarks and covenants not to compete, are currently amortized on the
straight-line method over their estimated useful lives ranging from 2 to 20
years. In connection with the acquisition of Delatech, the Company recorded a
charge of $3.4 million in 1999 associated with the impairment of goodwill
related to an existing EcoSys product line (see Note 10). 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 $7.6 million and $8.2 million at
December 31, 2001 and 2000 is stated net of accumulated amortization of $3.5
million and $2.8 million at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
These assets are currently reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable.
Stock Based Compensation
Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") SFAS No. 123, "Accounting For
Stock-Based Compensation", prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all
stock-based compensation plans, including employee stock options. As allowed by
SFAS No. 123, the Company has elected to continue to account for its employee
stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board ("APB")
Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. See Note 9 for the pro
forma effect on the Company's net income (loss), earnings (loss) per share-basic
and earnings (loss) per share-assuming dilution of accounting for employee stock
options using the method prescribed in SFAS No. 123.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business Combinations," and
SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 prohibits the
use of the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations
initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 changes the way companies account
for goodwill in that goodwill will no longer be amortized, but should be tested
for impairment at least annually. SFAS No. 142 will be effective for the
Company's fiscal year beginning January 1, 2002. Management of the Company has
determined that adoption of the new standard will not have a material impact on
ATMI's financial position or results of operations.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations (ARO)," which is effective for ATMI in 2003. SFAS No. 143 requires
that contractual obligations associated with the retirement of tangible
long-lived assets be recorded as a liability when those obligations are
incurred, with the amount of the liability measured at discounted fair value.
The ARO would be capitalized and depreciated over the useful life of the related
asset. Upon adoption of the final Statement, an entity will use a
cumulative-effect approach to recognize transition amounts for existing ARO
liabilities, asset retirement costs, and accumulated depreciation. ATMI is
currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated results of operations,
financial position and cash flows of adopting this standard and will comply as
required.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." The FASB's new rules on asset impairment
supersede SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and
for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," and will be effective for the
Company's fiscal year beginning January 1, 2002. Management of the Company is
currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this standard will have on its
financial statements, but management does not anticipate that adoption of the
new standard will have a material impact on ATMI's financial position or results
of operations.

The term loans are collateralized by various equipment, leasehold improvements
and renovations in the Company's Connecticut facility. During the first quarter
of 2001, the Company entered into a $20.0 million financing agreement for use in
the expansion of the Phoenix, Arizona facility. As of December 31, 2001, the
Company had drawn approximately $15.0 million of this financing agreement, of
which $13.5 million is outstanding at that date. As allowed under the terms of
the bank financing agreement, the Company has decided to pay down certain
long-term debt obligations. The Company intends to pay down the entire $13.5
million outstanding under the $20.0 million financing agreement during the first
quarter of 2002. Therefore, the entire $13.5 million is classified as a current
liability. The majority of the Company's notes payable are secured by the
related real property or equipment, which the notes were used to finance. The
Company's other credit lines are secured by substantially all the assets of
certain of the Company's subsidiaries and have available borrowing capacity
approximating $0.8 million at December 31, 2001. 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. However, for purposes of displaying the
approximate debt maturities above, the bond payments are shown in the years they
are expected to be paid.
Interest paid was $0.8 million, $1.2 million, and $1.4 million, for the years
ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively.
On November 13, 2001, the Company sold $115.0 million of convertible
subordinated notes, due in 2006, in a private offering. The notes bear interest
at 5.25% per annum and are convertible by the holders into approximately 5.2
million shares of the Company's common stock, at a conversion price of
approximately $22.19 per share. The notes and related shares issuable upon
conversion of the notes were registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission

on February 19, 2002. The notes are redeemable at the Company's option beginning
on November 15, 2004, in whole or in part, at certain premiums decreasing
through the maturity date. Interest is payable semi-annually.
Certain of the financing agreements of the Company's subsidiaries 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.
6. Leases
The Company is obligated under capital leases for certain machinery and
equipment and leasehold improvements that expire at various dates during the
next four years. As allowed under the terms of the capital lease obligations,
the Company has decided to pay down certain long-term capital leases. The
Company intends to pay down approximately $4.8 million of capital lease
obligations during the first quarter of 2002. The entire $5.1 million of capital
lease obligations outstanding at December 31, 2001 will be repaid during 2002
and is, therefore, classified as a current liability. During 2000, the Company
financed approximately $6.8 million of machinery and equipment through capital
lease obligations, which has been treated as a non-cash transaction for purposes
of the Statement of Cash Flows. The gross amount of machinery and equipment and
leasehold improvements under the capital leases and the related accumulated
depreciation were as follows (in thousands):

-------- --------
$ 10,393 $ 12,705

Future minimum lease payments to be made in 2002 for capital leases outstanding
as of December 31, 2001 are approximately $5.8 million. Included in such amount
is interest of approximately $0.7 million.
The Company leases office and manufacturing facilities, and certain
manufacturing equipment under several operating leases expiring between 2002 and
2015. Rental expense was $5.7 million, $4.9 million and $5.0 million for the
years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. As part of the 2001
restructuring initiatives (Note 12), certain facilities under operating leases
are being exited, with the resulting lease termination fees being included in
the 2001 restructuring charge.

carryforwards of $2.0 million attributable to certain acquired companies. The
net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards will expire at various dates in
2009 through 2018, 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, 2001, 2000, and 1999 were
$4.9 million, $20.5 million, and $9.2 million, respectively. The Company

7. Income Taxes (continued)
The former securityholders of the ADCS Group have agreed to indemnify the
Company against losses arising out of possible tax liabilities of ADCS. As
security for these potential liabilities, the former securityholders of ADCS
deposited 700,000 shares of the Company's common stock, which they received in
connection with the Company's acquisition of ADCS, into escrow. While the
possible exposures are difficult to quantify, the Company believes that,
regardless of the probability that liabilities will arise, the potential
exposures range from $0 to $22 million depending on the resolution of the tax
matter. Although the former security holders of ADCS 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 of 1999, the Company
was notified by the Internal Revenue Service of an assessment of $2.1 million
for certain of these tax matters. The current value of the shares held in escrow
provides indemnity towards the upper range of the potential exposure. The
Company intends to vigorously defend its position in these tax matters in U.S.
Tax Court in 2002.
8. Profit Sharing Plan
The Company maintains a 401(k) profit sharing plan covering substantially all of
its domestic 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 $0.7 million, $0.6 million, and $0.4 million
for 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively.
9. Stockholders' Equity
On April 4, 2000, the Company completed a public offering of 2,800,000 shares of
the Company's common stock. Of such shares, the Company sold 1,500,000 shares
and certain stockholders sold 1,300,000 shares. The Company received net
proceeds from the offering of approximately $63.4 million. The cost of the
offering was approximately $4.1 million.
Stock Plans
The Company has certain stock plans, which provide for the granting of up to
6,515,833 nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options ("ISOs"), stock
appreciation rights and restricted stock awards to employees, directors and
consultants of the Company.
F-18
ATMI, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
9. Stockholders' Equity (continued)
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 on the
date of grant, 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.

9. Stockholders' Equity (continued)
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
net income (loss), net income (loss) per share-basic and net income (loss) per
share-assuming dilution would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts
indicated below (in thousands, except per share data):
Pro forma

Net income (loss) $(20,728) $34,653 $7,226
Net income (loss) per share--basic $(0.70) $1.20 $0.27
Net income (loss) per share--assuming dilution $(0.70) $1.14 $0.25
The fair value of each option grant, for pro forma disclosure purposes, was
estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with
the following weighted average assumptions:
2001 2000 1999
---- ---- ----
Expected dividend yield None None None
Risk free interest rate 4.5% 6.0% 5.80%
Expected volatility .710 .615 .615
Expected life of options 5.8 years 6.5 years 7.5 years
Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions,
including the expected stock price volatility. Because changes in the subjective
assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in the opinion of
management, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single
measure of the fair value of the Company's employee stock options.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP Plan") was approved in May 1998
authorizing 500,000 shares for subscription and enabling 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. At December 31, 2001, 283,993 shares remain available
under the ESPP Plan.

Options to purchase 723,580, and 18,900 shares of common stock, outstanding as
of December 31, 2000 and 1999, 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. Options to purchase 3,925,144 shares of common
stock, outstanding as of December 31, 2001, and 5,183,096 shares issuable upon
conversion of the 5.25% Convertible Subordinated Notes Due 2006 were not
included in the computation of diluted loss per share for the year ended
December 31, 2001, because their inclusion would be antidilutive.
As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, there were 20,000 warrants outstanding at an
exercise price of $11.75 that are fully exercisable and expire on September 1,
2005. These warrants were not included in the computation of diluted loss per
share for the year ended December 31, 2001, because their inclusion would be
antidilutive.
At December 31, 2001, there were 6,169,826 shares of common stock reserved for
the conversion of subordinated notes and further grants under the Company's
various stock plans.
10. Mergers and Acquisitions

10. Mergers and Acquisitions (continued)
The Company has reduced retained earnings by $95,000 and $163,000 in 2000 and
1999, respectively, to adjust retained earnings for the different fiscal year
ends of certain of the acquired entities and has combined the year-end September
30, 1999 financial results for ESCA with the December 31, 1999 financial results
of the Company.
In connection with the investigation, analysis and closings of the
aforementioned transactions, the Company recorded merger costs and related
expenses of $1.5 million and $10.5 million in 2000 and 1999, 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.
For the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, prior to the acquisitions,
revenues and net income of an acquired company included in the financial

On December 28, 2000, ATMI purchased K.C. Tech Co., Ltd.'s 30% interest in the
operations of ADCS-Korea for approximately $7.2 million, of which $5.0 million
was paid in 2000. The operations of ADCS-Korea have historically been included
in the consolidated statements of income of ATMI. The 30% portion not
historically owned by ATMI had been accounted for as minority interest. The
transaction was accounted for as a purchase and the excess cost over fair value
of the net assets acquired is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a
twenty-year period.
11. Other Comprehensive Loss
SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", requires the reporting of
comprehensive income (loss) in addition to net income (loss) from operations.
Comprehensive income (loss) 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 (loss).

12. Restructuring and Severance Charges
The operating results for 2001 include two restructuring charges: the first was
a $12.8 million charge for severance and other costs associated with a
restructuring initiative announced by management in the first quarter, of which
$0.6 million is included in cost of revenues related to a write down of
inventory in a product line no longer strategic to ATMI. The second charge
occurred in the third quarter for $1.8 million for severance related costs
associated with a restructuring initiative announced by management during that
quarter. The second initiative became necessary as a result of the unprecedented
decline in end-use semiconductor device demand.
The restructuring initiatives include severance costs of $5.4 million, including
the third quarter 2001 initiative of $1.8 million, and represent a reduction of
approximately 21% of the Company's worldwide workforce, including operations,
sales and marketing, and other administrative employees. Approximately 97% of
the affected employees had left their positions as of December 31, 2001, with
the remaining expected to leave their positions by March 31, 2002. These
initiatives involve a number of actions to improve productivity and align the
Company's organization more closely with its customers. The restructuring
initiatives and other charges also include $9.2 million for plant closings,
lease termination fees, and various other asset write-offs or write-downs.
Management anticipates that restructuring costs will be paid by March 31, 2002,
except for ongoing lease costs for exited facilities, which will be paid over
the remaining lease terms.

During the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company terminated the employment of four
executive officers within its Materials segment and one executive officer within
its Technologies segment 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, 2000, $2.0 million of the severance charge has
been paid, with a balance of $0.3 million remaining in the accrual at this date.
The remaining amount of accrued severance expense was paid during the first
quarter of 2001.
13. Commitments and Contingencies
In July 1999, ATMI filed suit against a company, alleging infringement of
certain liquid delivery system patents. Later in 1999, that company filed suit
against ATMI alleging infringement of a particular semiconductor process patent.
In March 2001, an agreement was reached that addressed the settlement of both
claims. Although the terms of the settlement remain confidential, ATMI received
a payment in the settlement, which has been recorded in the financial statements
as other income, net of related expenses.
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.

14. Segment and Geographic Data
The Company has two reportable operating segments: Materials and Technologies.
The reportable operating segments are each managed separately because they
manufacture and distribute distinct products with different production
processes. The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on
operating profit or loss, excluding restructuring and merger and related costs,
interest, other income or expense, and income taxes. Intercompany sales are not
material among operating segments. The general corporate assets primarily
include cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, goodwill and other
long-lived assets.
