Notes To Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
(unaudited)
1. Description of Business
ATMI (the “Company”, “ATMI”, or “we”) believes it is a leading supplier of high performance materials, materials packaging and materials delivery systems used worldwide in the manufacture of microelectronic devices. ATMI targets both semiconductor and flat panel display manufacturers, whose products form the foundation of microelectronics technology rapidly proliferating through the information technology, automotive, communication and consumer products industries. The market for microelectronics devices is growing and continually changing, which drives demand for new products and technologies at lower cost. ATMI’s objective is to meet the demands of microelectronic manufacturers with solutions that maximize the efficiency of their manufacturing processes and minimize the time to ramp new processes and deliver new products. ATMI’s customers include many of the leading semiconductor and flat-panel display manufacturers in the world who target leading edge technologies.
2. Significant Accounting Policies and Other Information
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of ATMI have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and do not include all of the financial information and disclosures required by GAAP in the United States.
The accounts of ATMI and all of its subsidiaries are included in the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of the management of ATMI, the financial information contained herein has been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, and includes adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the unaudited quarterly results set forth herein. These unaudited consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2006 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company’s quarterly results are subject to fluctuation and, thus, the operating results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any future fiscal period.
The consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2006 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the financial information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets
In June 2007, a fire at a contract manufacturer in Taiwan destroyed approximately $1.8 million of ATMI’s assets, including property, plant and equipment with a net book value of $1.6 million and inventories with a book value of $0.2 million. ATMI expects to be fully reimbursed

Table of Contents
by its insurance carrier for these losses and as such, has recorded a receivable for this amount, which has been classified on the consolidated balance sheet under the caption prepaid expenses and other current assets, representing our current estimate of our insurance recovery. ATMI has supplied its customers in this region from its U.S. manufacturing operations, and expects to continue to supply its customers in this region from its U.S. manufacturing operations. Accordingly, our business is not expected to be materially impacted by the loss of these assets.
Income Taxes
ATMI adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”) at the beginning of 2007. Adoption of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007 did not result in a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. At January 1, 2007, we had $8.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits on the balance sheet, which, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective income tax rate in future periods.
Our continuing practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. We had $0.6 million accrued for interest (net) and $0 accrued for penalties at December 31, 2006, which is included as a component of the $8.2 million unrecognized tax benefit noted above.
We are currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service for the 2004 and 2005 tax years. It is reasonably possible that the examination phase of the audit for these years may conclude in the next 12 months, and that the related unrecognized tax benefits for tax positions taken regarding previously filed tax returns may change from those recorded as liabilities for uncertain tax positions in our financial statements at January 1, 2007 and June 30, 2007. However, based on the status of the examination it is not possible to estimate the effect of any amount of such change to previously recorded uncertain tax positions.
We have not provided for U.S. federal income and foreign withholding taxes on approximately $28.0 million of undistributed earnings from non-U.S. operations as of June 30, 2007, because such earnings are intended to be reinvested indefinitely outside of the United States.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.” This Standard allows entities to voluntarily choose, at specified election dates, to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities (as well as certain nonfinancial instruments that are similar to financial instruments) at fair value. The election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, the Statement specifies that all subsequent changes in fair value for that instrument shall be reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for ATMI beginning on January 1, 2008. We do not expect that adoption of this new Standard will have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
In June 2007, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) published Issue No. 07-3, “Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services to Be Used in Future Research and Development Activities.” The EITF reached a consensus that these payments made by an entity to third parties should be deferred and capitalized. Such amounts should be recognized as an expense as the related goods are delivered or the related services are performed. Entities should report the effects of applying this Issue as a change in accounting principle through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption. EITF Issue No. 07-3 is effective for ATMI beginning on January 1, 2008. Earlier application is not permitted. We do not expect that adoption of this new Standard will have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
3. Equity-Based Compensation

Net equity-based compensation expense | $ | 1,628 | $ | 1,707 | $ | 2,834 | $ | 3,534 | ||||||||
The decrease in the first half of 2007 equity-based compensation expense, compared to the first half of 2006, is primarily attributable to true-ups associated with actual forfeitures and a resulting change in the forfeiture rate assumptions for future periods.
There was no equity-based compensation cost that was capitalized.

The Company repurchased 715,487 shares of common stock in the first six months of 2007.
In the first quarter of 2007, the Company issued 92,041 shares of restricted stock to executive officers that include a performance-based vesting component as well as a time-based vesting component, as more fully described in the Company’s 2006 proxy statement. This change was made to ensure long-term incentive grants more closely align senior management compensation with the Company’s achievement of longer-term financial objectives that enhance stockholder value and to afford the executive officers the opportunity to earn higher awards for outstanding performance.

5. Commitments and Contingencies
In July 2003, a subsidiary of ATMI filed suit against Praxair, Inc., the parent company of Praxair Electronics, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, charging it with infringing two patents ATMI holds for certain gas storage and delivery systems. In April 2006, the New York District Court granted Praxair’s request for summary judgment that all asserted claims of ATMI’s two VAC patents are invalid, and that decision was upheld on appeal in April 2007.
In December 2003, Praxair, Inc. and Praxair Technology, Inc. filed suit against ATMI, Inc. and Advanced Technology Materials, Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware alleging infringement of three patents owned by Praxair Technology, Inc. related to certain gas storage and delivery systems. Praxair is seeking damages and an injunction against ATMI marketing its VAC system. In 2005, the Delaware District Court invalidated one patent by summary judgment. In June 2007, the Delaware District Court held that the two remaining Praxair patents were unenforceable due to inequitable conduct. In July 2007, Praxair filed a notice of its intent to appeal. ATMI intends to continue to pursue a vigorous defense against Praxair’s claims. This positive outcome has triggered ATMI’s payment obligation pursuant to a limited contingent fee arrangement with certain outside counsel. As a result, the Company recognized $1.1 million of expense in the second quarter of 2007, which has been recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.
In 2005, a subsidiary of ATMI filed suit against Praxair, Inc. and Praxair GmbH in Dusseldorf, Germany, charging infringement of a patent ATMI holds for certain gas storage and delivery systems. Since the third quarter of 2006, a preliminary injunction against Praxair selling or supplying its UpTime system in Germany was in effect. In March 2007, ATMI voluntarily withdrew the preliminary injunction in view of customer concerns, among other considerations. The main infringement action in Germany is proceeding.

Table of Contents
In August 2006, a subsidiary of ATMI filed suit in Belgium against Praxair, Inc. and Belgian affiliates of Praxair, Inc. charging infringement of a patent ATMI holds for certain gas storage and delivery systems. A preliminary injunction is in place against the public marketing of the UpTime system worldwide and ATMI is seeking damages from Praxair for violation of that injunction. In addition, a preliminary injunction is in place against Praxair’s supply of UpTime in several European countries. The main infringement action in Belgium is proceeding.
ATMI is, from time to time, subject to various legal actions, governmental audits, and proceedings relating to various matters incidental to its business including product liability and environmental claims. While the outcome of such matters cannot be predicted with certainty, in the opinion of management, after reviewing such matters and consulting with ATMI’s counsel and considering any applicable insurance or indemnifications, any liability which may ultimately be incurred, including the Praxair litigations, is not expected to materially affect ATMI’s consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations.
During the first quarter of 2007, ATMI entered into a pledge agreement with Anji Microelectronics Co., Ltd. (“Anji”), a variable interest entity that ATMI accounts for using the equity method of accounting, for the issuance of a 3-year standby letter of credit up to $3.1 million in order to assist Anji in securing bank financing. The standby letter of credit was issued during the second quarter of 2007 and has been secured by Anji’s assets and additional equity interests in Anji’s operating subsidiaries. As a result of issuing the standby letter of credit, we recognized a $0.2 million liability, classified within the caption, “other long-term liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheet, which represents the fair value of the guarantee. As of June 30, 2007, Anji has not drawn down any amounts against the line of credit secured by the letter of credit.

Revenues increased 12.1 percent to $92.4 million in the second quarter of 2007 from $82.5 million in the second quarter of 2006. Sales in our wafer-start driven high performance materials and materials delivery product lines increased 13.7 percent in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the second quarter of 2006, due primarily to growth in wafer starts during this period. Sales in our materials packaging product lines decreased 4.3 percent in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the same period of 2006, primarily because of softer demand in the flat panel display market and a lingering effect in the quarter related to the manufacturing defect discussed in our March 31, 2007 Form 10-Q.
Revenues increased 9.5 percent to $174.6 million in the first six months of 2007 from $159.4 million in the first six months of 2006. Sales in our wafer-start driven high performance materials and materials delivery product lines increased 13.6 percent in the first half of 2007 compared to the first half of 2006, due primarily to growth in wafer starts during this period. Sales in our materials packaging product lines decreased 12.8 percent in the first half of 2007 compared to the same period of 2006, primarily because of softer demand in the flat panel display market and the effect of a manufacturing defect that became apparent under certain use conditions by certain customers during the first quarter of 2007, which was subsequently resolved in the second quarter of 2007.

Gross profit increased 7.7 percent to $45.2 million in the second quarter of 2007 from $41.9 million in the second quarter of 2006. Our gross margin percentage decreased during this time period from 50.8 percent in 2006 to 48.9 percent in 2007. This decrease is due primarily to lower revenue volumes in our materials packaging product lines due to softness in the flat panel display market and also due to the effects of a manufacturing defect that was discovered in a materials packaging product line during the first quarter of 2007. The Company recognized an additional $0.3 million of product warranty costs in the second quarter of 2007 related to this product defect.
Gross profit increased 7.2 percent to $84.5 million in the first six months of 2007 from $78.8 million in the first six months of 2006. Our gross margin percentage decreased during this time period from 49.4 percent in 2006 to 48.4 percent in 2007, which was due primarily to lower revenue volumes in our materials packaging product lines due to softness in the flat panel display market and also due to the manufacturing defect discussed above. The Company recognized $0.6 million of product warranty costs in the first half of 2007 as a result of the product defect.

R&D increased 17.2 percent to $7.3 million in the second quarter of 2007 from $6.2 million in the second quarter of 2006. The increase in R&D spending was primarily attributable to spending associated with the development of new products such as RegenSi and AutoClean.
R&D expenses increased 17.7 percent to $14.5 million in the first six months of 2007 from $12.4 million in the first six months of 2006. The increase in R&D spending was primarily attributable to collaborative research activities with a strategic investment partner related to cleans chemistries and the development of new products such as RegenSi and AutoClean. R&D as a percent of revenues in 2007 is in line with our long-term spending targets and reflects our continued focus on the development of new products and technologies.

SG&A increased 13.8 percent to $26.2 million in the second quarter of 2007 from $23.1 million in the second quarter of 2006. SG&A was 28.4 percent of revenues in the second quarter of 2007 vs. 28.0 percent of revenues in the second quarter of 2006. SG&A has grown primarily due to increased employee-related costs (e.g., salaries, fringe benefits, travel, etc.) to support our longer-term growth strategy, litigation costs, and depreciation on facilities. The second quarter of 2007 includes a $1.1 million contingent legal fee as a result of a favorable outcome in the Delaware patent infringement suit brought by Praxair. Excluding the contingent legal fee, SG&A was 27.2 percent of revenues in the second quarter of 2007.
SG&A increased 12.6 percent to $50.8 million in the first six months of 2007 from $45.1 million in the first six months of 2006. SG&A was 29.1 percent of revenues in the first six months of 2007 vs. 28.3 percent of revenues in the same 2006 period. Despite a $0.7 million reduction in equity-based compensation expense due to true ups associated with forfeitures and a resulting change in the forfeiture rate estimates for future periods, SG&A has grown in the first half of 2007 compared to 2006 primarily due to increased employee-related costs (e.g., salaries, fringe benefits, travel, etc.), litigation costs, and depreciation on facilities. Excluding the contingent legal fee discussed above, SG&A was 28.5 percent of revenues in the second quarter of 2007.

Operating income decreased to $19.1 million in the first six months of 2007 (representing 11.0 percent of revenues) from $21.3 million in the first six months of 2006 (representing 13.4 percent of revenues). These changes are from a variety of factors, as noted above.
Interest Income
Interest income decreased to $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2007 from $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2006 and decreased to $3.8 million in the first six months of 2007 from $4.3 million in the first six months of 2006. The decreases are primarily due to lower invested cash and marketable securities balances resulting from cash used to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock and a shift to tax-exempt securities.

Overall, our effective income tax rates are affected by the change in the mix of income attributed to the various countries in which we do business and changes in the levels of tax-exempt interest income. In 2006 our effective tax rate was also affected by extra-territorial income (“ETI”) exclusion benefits. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had a net deferred tax asset on the balance sheet of $8.0 million, primarily due to temporary differences, state tax credit carry forwards, and state net operating loss carry forwards.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We assess liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operating and investing activities. Of particular importance to the management of liquidity are cash flows generated by operating activities, cash used for capital expenditures, cash used to repurchase common stock, and cash generated from the sale of common stock.
We manage our worldwide cash requirements considering the cost effectiveness of the funds available from the many subsidiaries through which we conduct our business. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities positions at this time are sufficient to meet current and anticipated requirements for the foreseeable future. We do not rely on debt or off-balance sheet financing arrangements for our liquidity needs.
We continue to invest in research and development to provide future sources of revenue through the development of new products, as well as through additional uses for existing products. We consider R&D and the development of new products and technologies an integral part of our growth strategy and a core competence of the Company. Likewise, we continue to make capital expenditures in order to expand and modernize manufacturing facilities around the globe. Additionally, management considers, on a continuing basis, potential acquisitions of strategic technologies and businesses complementary to the Company’s current business.
The Company’s Board of Directors has approved two share repurchase programs for purchases up to a total of $225.0 million of ATMI common stock. Share repurchases are made from time to time in open market transactions at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions. Management determines the timing and amount of purchases under the programs based upon market conditions or other factors. The programs do not require the Company to purchase any specific number or amount of shares and may be suspended or reinstated at any time at the Company’s discretion and without notice. As of June 30, 2007, $102.9 million remains available for purchase under the programs.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Except for income taxes, there have been no material changes from the methodology applied by management for critical accounting estimates previously disclosed in ATMI’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. The methodology applied to management’s estimate for income taxes has changed due to the adoption of a new accounting pronouncement as described below.
23
Table of Contents
Income Taxes
In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which became effective for ATMI beginning in 2007. FIN 48 addressed the determination of how tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under FIN 48, the Company must recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. The impact of the Company’s reassessment of its tax positions in accordance with FIN 48 did not have a material effect on the results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
For additional information regarding the adoption of FIN 48, see Note 2 under the heading, “Income Taxes.” For further discussion of the Company’s critical accounting estimates related to income taxes, see the 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, or capital resources.
During the second quarter of 2007, ATMI issued a $3.1 million standby letter of credit on behalf of Anji Microelectronics Co., Ltd. (“Anji”), a variable interest entity that ATMI accounts for using the equity method of accounting, in order to assist Anji in securing bank financing. The standby letter of credit is secured by Anji’s assets and additional equity interests in Anji’s operating subsidiaries. The standby letter of credit was issued during the second quarter of 2007 and has been secured by Anji’s assets and additional equity interests in Anji’s operating subsidiaries. As a result of issuing the standby letter of credit, we recognized a $0.2 million liability, classified within the caption, “other long-term liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheet, which represents the fair value of the guarantee.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk.As of June 30, 2007, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities included money market securities, corporate and municipal bond obligations and commercial paper. As of June 30, 2007, an increase of 100 basis points in interest rates would reduce the fair value of the Company’s marketable securities portfolio by approximately $0.4 million. Conversely, a reduction of 100 basis points in interest rates would increase the fair value of the Company’s marketable securities portfolio by approximately $0.6 million.
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. Approximately 9 percent of the

Company’s revenues for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 were denominated in Japanese Yen (“JPY”), but the product is sourced in U.S. dollars. Management periodically reviews the Company’s exposure to currency fluctuations. 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 currently utilizes forward exchange contracts to hedge certain currency exposures, but does not use any other derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. At June 30, 2007, ATMI had $13.1 million notional amount of foreign exchange contracts, which are being used to hedge recorded foreign denominated assets, $11.1 million of which will be settled in JPY. Holding other variables constant, if there were a 10 percent adverse change in foreign exchange rates for the JPY, the fair market value of the JPY contracts outstanding at June 30, 2007 would decrease by approximately $1.2 million (but would be expected to be fully offset by foreign exchange gains on the amounts being hedged). The effect of an immediate 10 percent change in other foreign exchange rates would not be expected to have a material impact on the Company’s future operating results or cash flows.
Changes in Market Risk. There have been no material quantitative changes in market risk exposure between December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2007.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon our evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in that they provide reasonable assurance that the information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We routinely review our internal control over financial reporting and from time to time make changes intended to enhance the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. There have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act during the second quarter of fiscal 2007 that we believe materially affected, or will be reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In July 2003, a subsidiary of ATMI filed suit against Praxair, Inc., the parent company of Praxair Electronics, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, charging it with infringing two patents ATMI holds for certain gas storage and delivery systems. In April 2006, the New York District Court granted Praxair’s request for summary judgment that all asserted claims of ATMI’s two VAC patents are invalid, and that decision was upheld on appeal in April 2007.
In December 2003, Praxair, Inc. and Praxair Technology, Inc. filed suit against ATMI, Inc. and Advanced Technology Materials, Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware alleging infringement of three patents owned by Praxair Technology, Inc. related to certain gas storage and delivery systems. Praxair is seeking damages and an injunction against ATMI marketing its VAC system. In 2005, the Delaware District Court invalidated one patent by summary judgment. In June 2007, the Delaware District Court held that the two remaining Praxair patents were unenforceable due to inequitable conduct. In July 2007, Praxair filed a notice of their intent to appeal. ATMI intends to continue to pursue a vigorous defense against Praxair’s claims. This positive outcome has triggered ATMI’s payment obligation pursuant to a limited contingent fee arrangement with certain outside counsel. As a result, the Company recognized $1.1 million of expense in the second quarter of 2007 in selling, general and administrative expenses.
In 2005, a subsidiary of ATMI filed suit against Praxair, Inc. and Praxair GmbH in Dusseldorf, Germany, charging infringement of a patent ATMI holds for certain gas storage and delivery systems. Since the third quarter of 2006, a preliminary injunction against Praxair selling or supplying its UpTime system in Germany was in effect. In March 2007, ATMI voluntarily withdrew the preliminary injunction in view of customer concerns, among other considerations. The main infringement action in Germany is proceeding.
In August 2006, a subsidiary of ATMI filed suit in Belgium against Praxair, Inc. and Belgian affiliates of Praxair, Inc. charging infringement of a patent ATMI holds for certain gas storage and delivery systems. A preliminary injunction is in place against the public marketing of the UpTime system worldwide and ATMI is seeking damages from Praxair for violation of that injunction. In addition, a preliminary injunction is in place against Praxair’s supply of UpTime in several European countries. The main infringement action in Belgium is proceeding.
ATMI is, from time to time, subject to various legal actions, governmental audits, and proceedings relating to various matters incidental to its business including product liability and environmental claims. While the outcome of such matters cannot be predicted with certainty, in the opinion of management, after reviewing such matters and consulting with ATMI’s counsel and considering any applicable insurance or indemnifications, any liability which may ultimately be incurred, including the Praxair litigations, is not expected to materially affect ATMI’s consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations.
