Item 5.  Other Events.

     On February 11, 1998,  ATMI, Inc.  ("ATMI" or the "Company")  announced its
financial  results  for the fourth  quarter  of 1997 and the  fiscal  year ended
December 31, 1997.  All results are based on  pooling-of-interest  treatments of
the October  10,  1997  acquisitions  of  Advanced  Delivery & Chemical  Systems
Nevada,  Inc and its  affiliates  (the "ADCS Group") and Lawrence  Semiconductor
Laboratories, Inc. and its affiliate ("Lawrence").

     Fourth quarter  revenues  increased 31% to a record $28.3 million  compared
with $21.6 million in the fourth  quarter of 1996.  Product  revenues  increased
37%, while  contract  revenues  continued to decrease,  to  approximately  7% of
overall revenues. Net income, excluding non-recurring charges,  increased 59% to
$4.3 million, or $0.23 per share on a diluted basis, compared to the 1996 fourth
quarter net income,  excluding  non-recurring  charges, of $2.7 million or $0.14
per share.

     Revenues  for the year  increased to $101.9  million from $88.7  million in
1996.  This 15% increase was impacted by a decline in revenues  during the first
half of 1997 at the ADCS Group and Lawrence, prior to their acquisition by ATMI.
Net income  for 1997,  excluding  non-recurring  charges,  climbed  15% to $13.4
million,  or $0.72 per share on a diluted basis,  from $11.7 million,  excluding
non-recurring charges, or $0.63 per share on a diluted basis, in 1996.

     A previously  announced  one-time  charge of $9.0 million was recognized in
the fourth quarter of 1997 relating to transaction  costs incurred in connection
with the acquisitions of the ADCS Group and Lawrence.  Inclusive of this charge,
the Company  had a net loss of $4.7  million in the fourth  quarter of 1997,  or
$0.25 per share on a diluted basis, and net income of $4.4 million for the year,
or $0.24 per share.  The 1996 earnings were affected by a $2.0 million  one-time
charge related to litigation settlement payments that Lawrence incurred prior to
its  acquisition  by ATMI,  and  certain  tax  adjustments.  Inclusive  of these
amounts,  the Company had  earnings  of $1.5  million and $12.0  million for the
fourth  quarter  and entire year of 1996,  respectively,  or $0.08 and $0.65 per
share on a diluted basis.
