                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STAEMENTS
                                JUNE 29, 1996



(1)      BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The consolidated financial statements of Aavid Thermal Technologies,
Inc. (the "Company") presented herein, without audit except for balance sheet
information at December 31, 1995, have been prepared pursuant to the rules of
the Securities and Exchange Commission for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do
not include all of the information and note disclosures required by generally
accepted accounting principles. These statements should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended
December 31, 1995, included in the Company's Form 10-K as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 1996.

         The December 31, 1995 balance sheet includes reclassifications and the
consolidated balance sheet as of June 29, 1996 and the consolidated statements
of income and cash for the quarters and six months ended June 29, 1996 and July
1, 1995 are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments
(consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation
of certain prior year information to conform with the current presentation
format.

         The results of operations for the quarter and six months ended June
29, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
entire fiscal year ending December 31, 1996.

(2)      PUBLIC OFFERING

         On January 29, 1996, the Company completed its initial public offering
of 2,300,000 shares (exclusive of the over-allotment option) of its common stock
at $9.50 per share. The net proceeds from this offering, after deducting all
associated costs, aggregated $18,661,000. In February, 1996, the underwriters of
the public offering exercised their over-allotment option, purchasing 345,000
shares for net consideration of $3,047,000. In conjunction with the public
offering, all of the outstanding preferred stock automatically converted into
2,959,692 shares of common stock. In addition, the authorized number of
preferred shares increased from 1,100,000 to 4,000,000 upon the conversion of
the outstanding preferred stock to common stock and the number of authorized
shares of common stock increased from 15,000,000 to 25,000,000.



(3)      STOCK DIVIDEND

         The Company distributed a 5.5-for-1 stock split in the form of a stock
dividend effected immediately prior to the initial public offering on January
29, 1996. All share and per-share data has been adjusted to reflect the stock
dividend as though it had occurred at the beginning of the initial period
presented.


(4)      REDEEMABLE WARRANT

         In connection with the issuance of a Senior Subordinated Note, the
Company granted the issuer a warrant to purchase 90,000 shares of its Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $10.27

   7

expiring October 2003 (which upon the closing of the initial public offering
which occurred on January 29, 1996 represented the right to purchase 495,000
shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $1.87 per share). The warrant
contained provisions which included the right to require the Company to purchase
the warrant for an amount based upon the fair market value of the Company's
stock at the time of exercise. The right to require the Company to purchase the
warrant expired upon consummation of the initial public offering which occurred
on February 2, 1996. The December 31, 1995 balance sheet reflects the accreted
value of the warrant at that date. Accreted value of the warrant was transferred
to paid-in capital upon the expiration of the right to require the Company to
purchase the warrant.

            See Note 3.

        
(6)      EARNINGS PER SHARE CALCULATION

         Net income (loss) per share of common stock is computed for each period
based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive
common stock equivalents. For purposes of this calculation, outstanding options
are considered common stock equivalents (using the treasury stock method).
Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 83,
common and common equivalent shares issued during the 12-month period prior to
the date of the initial filing of the Company's Registration Statement have been
included in the calculation, using the treasury stock method, as if they were
outstanding for all periods presented. Fair market value for the purpose of this
calculation was $9.50, the initial public offering price, and the average market
price for the common stock subsequent to the public offering.


 (7)     FLUENT ACQUISITION

         On August 24, 1995, the Company purchased all of the stock of Fluent
Inc. ("Fluent"), a provider of computerized design and simulation software used
to predict fluid flow, heat and mass transfer, chemical reaction, and related
phenomena. The Company acquired Fluent through the issuance of 308,214 shares of
its common stock, a $3,590,000 non-interest bearing note payable in eight equal
quarterly installments, due September, 1997 (which Notes were paid in full in
February, 1996) and a cash payment of $927,000. This acquisition has been
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.

         The following is an unaudited Pro Forma summary of the consolidated
results of operations, assuming the Fluent Acquisition had taken place on
January 1, 1995. In preparing the pro forma data, certain adjustments have been
made to historic operating results, including compensation expense recorded by
Fluent in conjunction with the exercise of previously issued stock options, and
interest expense incurred on funds borrowed to pay a portion of the purchase
price in the Fluent Acquisition, including imputed interest on non-interest
bearing promissory notes issued in the Acquisition.

Company's software is used in a broad range of applications, including design of
automobiles, electronic systems, aerospace components and combustion systems, as
well as process plant engineering.

During the first quarter, the Company completed its initial public offering of
common stock and began trading on the Nasdaq National Market on January 30,
1996. Montgomery Securities and Robertson, Stephens & Company co-managed the
underwriting group.

During the first quarter, the Company also opened a new 50,000 square foot
manufacturing and sales facility in Terrell, Texas, increasing total worldwide
thermal products manufacturing capacity to more than 300,00 square feet.

During the second quarter, the Company acquired, through its wholly owned
subsidiary, Fluent, Inc., Fluid Dynamics International, Inc. ("FDI") a 50%
interest in Polyflow S.A. of Belgium. The Company believes these transactions
make Fluent - a leading provider of computational fluid dynamics (CFD)-based
analysis software.


Results of Operations
- ---------------------

         Net sales increased by 1.6% to $23.0 million and by 17.7% to $49.0
million for the quarter and six months ended June 29, 1996 respectively, as 
compared to the corresponding periods ended July 1, 1995. Sales by  
application and product line are broken down as follows:-

         Thermal management revenues decreased 25% to $16,889,000 and by 10% to
$37,442,000 for the quarter and six months ended June 29, 1996, respectively,
as compared to the corresponding periods ended July 1, 1995.

         Thermal management revenues were impacted by a weak market for
electronic products as evidenced by the semiconductor industry's book-to-bill
ratio reaching a ten year low during the quarter. The Company anticipates short
term thermal management revenues will continue to be impacted by continued soft
business conditions during the third quarter of 1996. Over the longer term, the
Company expects growth in unit demand as an increasing number of semiconductor
and integrated circuit devices enter the market that need thermal solutions, and
as the semiconductor industry moves on to new generations of products and
applications.

         Software product sales for 1996 represent sales of Fluent which was
acquired during the third quarter of 1995, and Fluid Dynamics International,
Inc. ("FDI") which was acquired in May 1996. Quarterly Software revenue
increased 14% from the prior quarter, and, on a proforma basis, by 12% from a 
year ago. Included in Fluent's 1996 revenue for the quarter is $890,000 of
FDI revenues. The Fluent business is historically seasonally strong in the
fourth and first quarters due to the budgeting patterns of Fluent's customers.

         International (i.e., non-North America) revenues for the Company
represented 23.4% and 23.8% of sales for the quarter and six month periods ended
June 29, 1996 as compared to 9.1% and 7.8% for the corresponding periods ended
July 1, 1995. Both the acquisition of Fluent and increased penetration of the
international market by the thermal management business contributed to the
increased significance of international sales in 1996.

         For the Company as a whole, cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales
were 60.9% for the quarter and 62.5% for the six months ended June 29, 1996, as
compared to 70.5% and 69.5% for the corresponding periods ended July 1, 1995.
For the quarter and six month periods ending June 29, 1996, thermal
management cost of goods sold were 74.8% and 73.9% respectively, compared to
corresponding 1995 results of 70.5% and 69.5% respectively. The increase in cost
of goods sold percentage in thermal management products is principally
attributable to increased material costs and the impact of reduced sales volume.
Increased material cost, as a percentage of sales, is attributable to a far more
material intensive product mix, principally the result of large volume shipments
during the 1996 period of fan heat sinks for digital electronic applications
utilizing purchased fans, especially in the first quarter of 1996. The change in
product mix has more than offset reductions in the average price per pound of
aluminum extrusion purchases. While cost reduction measures have brought about a
decline in production overhead during the three month period ended June 29, 1996
from both the first quarter and 1995 levels, the decline in sales volume for the
periods ended June 29, 1996 has resulted in an increase in overhead as a
percentage of sales.

         Software product cost of goods sold for the quarter and six month
periods ended June 29, 1996 were 22.4% and 25.7% as compared to pro forma 1995 
costs of 34.1%  and 27.1%.

         For the Company as a whole, Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased to $7,119,000 for the quarter, and $12,860,000 for the six
months ended June 29, 1996, as compared to $4,224,000 and $8,470,000 for the
corresponding 1995 periods. Thermal management selling, general and
administrative expenses were $4,070,000 or 24.2% of sales for the quarter and
$8,316,000 or 22.3% of sales for the first six months of 1996 for the 1996
periods as compared to 18.6% and 20.3% of sales for the corresponding
1995 periods. The decline in thermal management selling, general and
administrative expenses from 1995 to 1996 is principally attributable to lower
commission expenses associated with lower sales volume.

         Research and development expenses increased to $1,279,000 and
$2,559,000 (5.5% and 5.2% of sales, respectively) for the quarter and six 
months ended June 29, 1996 compared to $491,000 and $1,151,000 (2.2% and 2.8%
of sales, respectively) for the corresponding respective 1995 periods. For 
both 1996 periods, research and development represented 16% of software 
product sales and 2% of thermal management sales. The increase in total 
research and development from year to year is attributable to the acquisition 
of Fluent, partially offset the reduction in thermal management research and 
development reflecting reduced development funding of joint venture projects.

         The Company incurred a non-cash charge during the quarter ended June
29, 1996 of $3,446,000, which represented the amount of the purchase price of
FDI allocated to technology acquired in this transaction which was not fully
commercially developed and had no alternative future use at the time of
acquisition.

         Net interest expense declined to $313,000 for the quarter ended June
29, 1996 from $619,000 for the quarter ended July 1, 1995. For the six months
ended June 29, 1996, interest expense was $759,000 compared to $1,159,000 for
the corresponding previous year period. The reduction in interest expense for
the quarter and year-to-date was the result of the utilization of a substantial
portion of the proceeds from the initial public offering for the reduction of 
outstanding indebtedness.

         The effective tax rate for the quarter and six months ended June
29, 1996 was adversely impacted by the FDI non-deductible purchased undeveloped
technology charge. Excluding this charge, the effective tax

                                      11

   12

rate was 43.7% for the quarter ended June 29, 1996 compared to 32.3% for the   
quarter ended July 1, 1995, and 37.1% for the six month period ended June 29,
1996, compared to 18.9% for the six months ended July 1, 1996. The 1995 six
month effective tax rate benefited from the recognition of a foreign net
operating loss carryforward.

         Extraordinary expense for the six months ended June 29, 1996 represents
the write-off of deferred financing costs resulting from the early
extinguishment of debt as a result of the initial public offering.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

         Cash and cash equivalents declined $300,000 in the six month period
ended June 29, 1996 to $4,027,000.

         The Company's trade accounts receivable increased $180,000 (1%) to
$15,916,000 from $15,736,000 at December 31, 1996. This increase is due to the
acquisition of FDI ($1,719,000) which combined with increased non-FDI Fluent
receivables ($971,000) offset lower thermal management receivables ($2,510,000)
attributable to the decline in revenues from the fourth quarter of 1995 to the
second quarter of 1996. Inventories decreased 16% to $5,362,000 at June 29, 1996
from $6,376,000 at December 31, 1995 principally due to reductions in finished
goods. Accrued expenses and other current liabilities fell by $818,000 primarily
from the disbursement of $2,649,000 in conjunction with the buyout of previously
accrued compensation agreements which offset Fluent increases in deferred
revenues ($580,000) and accrued liabilities attributable to FDI ($479,000).

         Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 29, 1996 of 
$3,564,000 principally represented the purchase of machinery and equipment for
existing facilities and the expansion of the Texas facility. The Company has
announced an agreement to purchase land, a building and equipment from Alumax
Extrusions, Inc. in Franklin, New Hampshire, to be operated as an extrusion
facility.

         During the second quarter, the Company disbursed $4,193,000 in 
conjunction with the purchase of FDI and a 50% interest in Polyflow.

         The Company realized net proceeds of $21,708,000 in conjunction with 
the completion of its public offering of stock. The Company used a portion of 
the proceeds to repay a 12.5% Senior Subordinated Note with an outstanding 
principal amount of $7,000,000, reduce by $8,500,000 the amount outstanding 
under the Company's revolving credit facility,and the payment of $2,649,000 for
the buyout of compensation agreements.

         During the first quarter of 1996, the Company repaid the subordinated
notes issued in conjunction with the Fluent Acquisition and increased borrowings
under its construction loan facility to finance the construction of a
manufacturing facility in Texas. During the second quarter, the Company repaid
the construction loan facility from the proceeds of a $1,150,000 mortgage loan.
At quarter end, the outstanding balance under the Company's $12,000,000
revolving credit facility stood at $1,553,000 as compared to allowable
borrowings of $8,853,000.

         Management believes that its current level of cash and cash
equivalents, anticipated cash flow from operations and existing credit
facilities will be adequate to fund its operations for at least the 
next 12 months.
