PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

You should read the following summary together with the more detailed
information regarding Advanced Thermal Technologies, Inc. and the financial
statements appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. References in this prospectus
to "we", "us", "our" or "ATT" refer to Advanced Thermal Technologies, Inc.
unless otherwise noted. When we refer to our 1998, 1999 and 2000 fiscal years,
we are referring to the years ended February 28, 1998, February 27, 1999 and
February 26, 2000.

ADVANCED THERMAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

We design, manufacture and sell systems that precisely control the
temperature of process chambers in equipment used to manufacture semiconductors.
Our patented technology has advanced the state of the art in temperature control
systems. We believe our systems operate with higher performance, are more
reliable and cost-effective and enable semiconductor manufacturers to increase
wafer output significantly compared to leading competitive systems.

Our systems are included in several recently introduced Applied Materials
tools for physical deposition and etch processes. In addition, our systems are
currently available to replace temperature control systems in existing
facilities which employ several types of equipment manufactured by Applied
Materials, Inc. and LAM Research Corporation. We have shipped over 400 systems
as of August 2000. Our systems are installed in more than 40 semiconductor
manufacturing facilities worldwide.

A semiconductor manufacturing facility has a large number of temperature
control systems incorporated in its wafer processing tools. The worldwide
semiconductor manufacturing equipment market is projected to be $30.3 billion in
2000, according to Dataquest. We estimate the market for temperature control
systems for new wafer processing equipment alone will be over $200 million in
2000. In addition, we believe a substantial replacement and retrofit market
exists for a superior temperature control solution. We estimate that there are
more than 50,000 temperature control systems in semiconductor manufacturing
facilities constructed since 1993, which had an aggregate purchase price in
excess of $1.5 billion.

The trend towards semiconductor devices with smaller feature sizes (0.18
micron and below) and greater complexity has increased technological
requirements and tightened specifications for the subsystems and materials used
to manufacture semiconductors. As a consequence, temperature control systems are
being required to cool and heat more reliably and more precisely over a greater
range of temperatures.

We estimate that our systems will achieve continuous operation of more than
30,000 hours without requiring maintenance. We believe leading competitive
temperature control systems typically require frequent maintenance, often every
90 days. In addition, other compelling attributes of our temperature control
systems as contrasted with leading competitive systems are that they:

-- cool at least four times faster;

-- heat at least four times faster;

-- reduce floor space per coolant channel by over 70%;

-- increase temperature range by 40 degreesC; and

-- have substantially lower operating costs.

Our objective is to be the leading provider of temperature control systems
for semiconductor manufacturing. Key elements of our strategy include:

-- targeting the end user market;

-- expanding the applications for our technology to address a broader
range of semiconductor manufacturing processes;

1
<PAGE> 6

-- broadening our OEM customer base; and

-- providing global customer support.

We were incorporated in Delaware as a wholly owned subsidiary of B/E
Aerospace in December 1997. B/E Aerospace and its predecessor have supplied
refrigeration systems for the commercial aircraft market for more than 20 years
and have achieved a worldwide market share of more than 90%. B/E Aerospace has
funded our operations since inception and sold to us its refrigeration
technology for use in semiconductor manufacturing and in several other markets.
Our principal executive offices are located at 3355 East La Palma Avenue,
Anaheim, California 92806 and our telephone number is (714) 688-4200.

SUMMARY FINANCIAL DATA
(IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)

We derived the summary financial information below for each of the years
ended February 28, 1998, February 27, 1999 and February 26, 2000 from our
audited financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. We derived
the summary financial information below as of May 27, 2000 and for the three
months ended May 29, 1999 and May 27, 2000 from our unaudited financial
statements included elsewhere in this prospectus, which financial information
reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments,
necessary for a fair presentation of results for such periods. The results for
the three months ended May 27, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the entire year. You should read this data in
conjunction with our financial statements appearing elsewhere in this prospectus
and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" beginning on page 20.

The pro forma as adjusted information reflects the sale of shares of our
Class A common stock offered hereby, at an initial public offering price of
$10.00 per share, after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and
offering expenses and a $15 million payment to B/E Aerospace for the purchase of
intellectual property and repayment of advances from B/E Aerospace made to fund
our operations since inception. The purchase of intellectual property from B/E
Aerospace will be treated as an in-substance dividend to B/E Aerospace for
financial accounting purposes.

RISK FACTORS

This offering and an investment in our Class A common stock involve a high
degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties
described below and the other information in this prospectus before deciding
whether to invest in shares of our Class A common stock. If any of the following
risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or operating results
could suffer, which could cause the trading price of our Class A common stock to
decline and could cause you to lose part or all of your investment.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

NEARLY ALL OF OUR SALES TO DATE HAVE BEEN TO APPLIED MATERIALS. ANY DECREASE IN
PURCHASES OF OUR TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEMS BY APPLIED MATERIALS WOULD
SUBSTANTIALLY HARM OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATING RESULTS.

Our temperature control systems have been sold to only a small number of
customers. Although our temperature control systems were installed in over 40
semiconductor manufacturing facilities as of August 2000, most of these systems
have been sold by us to Applied Materials and included as a component of the
manufacturing equipment sold by Applied Materials to its customers. Purchases of
our temperature control systems by Applied Materials represented 100% of our net
sales for the 2000 fiscal year and 99% of our net sales for the quarter ended
May 27, 2000. Currently, Applied Materials uses our temperature control systems
in its Super e dielectric etcher, e Max high density plasma dielectric etcher
and Endura Electra copper seed layer deposition equipment, three of its recently
introduced tools. Applied Materials is not obligated to purchase any of our
systems in the future. Any decrease in purchases by Applied Materials would
substantially harm our business and operating results. Until we can expand the
number of direct purchasers of our temperature control systems, we will continue
to depend heavily on sales of our systems to Applied Materials.

WE WILL RELY ON HELIX TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION TO MARKET, SELL AND SUPPORT OUR
SYSTEMS AND ANY DISRUPTION OF THIS RELATIONSHIP COULD NEGATIVELY IMPACT OUR
BUSINESS. WE WILL NEED TO INCREASE OUR SALES AND SUPPORT ORGANIZATION IN THE
FUTURE AND, IF WE ARE UNABLE TO DO SO, OUR SALES AND REPUTATION MAY SUFFER.

Our temperature control systems require sophisticated sales efforts. We
intend to rely on Helix to sell our systems worldwide. In addition, our
temperature control systems require highly trained customer service and support
personnel. We also intend to rely upon Helix to service and support our
installed base of temperature control systems. To the extent that Helix's sales
and support personnel do not devote a sufficient amount of effort to our
systems, or are not adequately trained, our reputation and business would
suffer. Further, because in the past Helix has not sold or supported any
equipment other than its own and Helix's sales force has not had any experience
selling our temperature control systems, their sales efforts may not be
successful. In addition, our agreement with Helix will provide that Helix may
terminate its relationship with us upon 180 days notice. Any disruption of our
relationship with Helix could negatively impact our business.

We plan to hire sales and support product specialists worldwide to work in
conjunction with Helix's sales force but might not be able to hire and train the
kind and number of personnel we need. Hiring and training personnel is difficult
in our industry due to the shortage of people that have the necessary technical
skills. If we are unable to expand our sales and support organization
adequately, we may not be able to respond to our customers' needs and our sales
and reputation may suffer.

OUR BUSINESS WILL SUFFER IF WE FAIL TO ENHANCE OUR EXISTING TEMPERATURE CONTROL
SYSTEMS OR TO DEVELOP AND INTRODUCE NEW SYSTEMS THAT MEET CHANGING CUSTOMER
REQUIREMENTS AND TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES.

The semiconductor equipment market is characterized by rapid technological
advances, evolving industry standards, frequent product introductions and
changes in OEM and end user requirements. Our
5
<PAGE> 10

future success will depend on our ability to anticipate or adapt to these
changes and to offer temperature control systems that meet changing customer
demands and industry standards. We may not successfully and accurately
anticipate technological and market trends, or successfully manage product
development. We may also experience design, manufacturing, marketing and other
difficulties that could delay or prevent our development, introduction or
marketing of new systems and systems configurations. We are currently developing
new interfaces for the equipment of certain major OEMs. If we are not able to
develop these interfaces, or other new features or configurations, on a timely
and cost-effective basis, or if our new systems fail to achieve market
acceptance, our business will suffer.

The introduction of new or enhanced systems also requires that we manage
the transition from older systems to these new or enhanced systems. For example,
we have developed a new platform-based system and will be transitioning our
manufacturing to this new system over the next several months, while
discontinuing our earlier products. If we fail to manage this or other
manufacturing transitions effectively and to supply an adequate number of these
or other new systems to meet customer delivery requirements, our reputation and
business would suffer.

FUTURE DOWNTURNS IN THE HIGHLY CYCLICAL SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY MAY SEVERELY HARM
OUR BUSINESS.

Our business depends upon capital expenditures by semiconductor
manufacturers. The semiconductor industry is highly cyclical and there have been
severe periodic downturns in the semiconductor equipment industry. When these
downturns occur, our business may be severely harmed. The requirements for
investments in engineering, research and development and sales and support
necessary to develop new systems and to grow our business limit our ability to
reduce expenses in proportion to declining sales during downturns.

Many semiconductor manufacturers are located in Asia and any deterioration
in the health of Asian economies, especially Japan, Taiwan and Korea, could
reduce demand for our temperature control systems.

We expect that a significant portion of our new orders will depend upon
demand from the OEMs that supply semiconductor manufacturers. We also expect
that an increasing and substantial portion of our new orders will be made
directly by semiconductor manufacturers that are retrofitting or upgrading
existing facilities, or replacing our competitors' equipment with ours. If
existing fabrication facilities are not expanded or upgraded or new facilities
are not built as rapidly as anticipated, demand for our systems may decline and
we may be unable to generate significant new orders for our systems.

OUR OPERATING HISTORY HAS BEEN SHORT AND WE ONLY RECENTLY BEGAN SELLING OUR
TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEMS. THEREFORE, AN EVALUATION OF OUR BUSINESS AND OUR
PROSPECTS IS DIFFICULT.

B/E Aerospace began to evaluate the application of refrigeration technology
to the semiconductor manufacturing industry in 1995 and formed ATT as a separate
division on February 23, 1997. We were incorporated as a wholly owned subsidiary
of B/E Aerospace on December 12, 1997. We only began volume shipments of our
temperature control systems in February 1999. Our short operating history and
narrow customer base make it difficult to determine if our temperature control
systems will gain widespread market acceptance or if we will be able to execute
our business plan.

IF OUR STRATEGY TO TARGET END USERS PROVES UNSUCCESSFUL, OUR GROWTH WOULD BE
SEVERELY IMPEDED AND OUR BUSINESS MAY SUFFER.

We intend to aggressively target the end user replacement and retrofit
market and believe that, based on the benefits of our systems, semiconductor
manufacturers will seek to substitute our systems for more traditional
temperature control systems. However, we cannot predict the purchasing patterns
of end users. They may prefer to purchase their manufacturing equipment and
related subsystems, and receive product support, directly from OEMs. They may
also choose to rebuild their existing temperature control systems rather than
purchase ours. In addition, they may not require or benefit from the operating
efficiencies or cost savings that our systems are designed to provide because of
the nature of their manufacturing

6
<PAGE> 11

processes. As a result, our strategy to target end users may not result in
increased sales and, to the extent we use significant resources to target this
market, our business may suffer.

WE HAVE A HISTORY OF LOSSES AND OUR RECENTLY ACHIEVED PROFITABILITY MAY NOT BE
SUSTAINABLE.

We have had substantial losses since our inception. Although we operated
profitably during the first quarter of this fiscal year, we incurred net losses
of $2.1 million in the 1999 fiscal year and $1.7 million in the 2000 fiscal
year. We also had an accumulated deficit of $4.4 million as of May 27, 2000. If
our revenue grows more slowly than we anticipate, or if our operating expenses
increase without a corresponding increase in our revenue, we may fail to remain
profitable and we may incur significant losses. Our future financial performance
will depend, in part, on growth of our revenue. Any growth in our revenue, in
turn, will depend primarily on the increased acceptance and use of our
temperature control systems. Our future financial performance will also be
contingent, in part, on our cost of revenue and on the growth of our operating
expenses. We expect our operating expenses to increase substantially as we
expand our number of systems, management, marketing personnel, production
capacity, research and development efforts and international activities. In
addition, we may have to spend more on research and development than we have
budgeted in order to develop temperature control systems that interoperate with
other semiconductor equipment manufacturers' systems.

OUR QUARTERLY RESULTS ARE UNPREDICTABLE AND ANY QUARTERLY FLUCTUATIONS IN OUR
RESULTS MAY CAUSE LARGE DECLINES IN THE PRICE OF OUR STOCK.

Our quarterly operating results are likely to fluctuate significantly in
the future due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our
control. As a consequence, our operating results in one or more future quarters
may fall below the expectations of investors and, as a result, the market price
of our stock may fall. Some of the factors that could affect our quarterly
operating results include:

-- the amount and timing of orders for our temperature control systems;

-- swings in the inventories of our products held by our OEM customers;

-- the patterns of capital spending by our end user customers;

-- our ability to develop, manufacture, introduce, ship and support new
systems and system enhancements;

-- announcements, new product introductions and reductions in the price
of temperature control systems offered by our competitors;

-- the amount and timing of our research and development expenses;

-- our ability to control costs;

-- our ability to obtain sufficient supplies of sole source components
or products with long lead times;

-- changes in the prices of our components;

-- costs relating to possible acquisitions and integration of
technologies or businesses; and

-- semiconductor equipment market conditions.

We believe that quarter to quarter comparisons of our operating results are
not necessarily meaningful and that such comparisons may not be accurate
indicators of future performance. You should not rely on our results for one
quarter as any indication of our future performance.

OUR BACKLOG MAY BE REDUCED BY CUSTOMER CANCELLATIONS, WHICH WOULD HAVE A
NEGATIVE EFFECT ON OUR FUTURE SALES.

As of May 27, 2000 our backlog was $7.5 million, all of which is scheduled
for delivery before November 2000. All orders are subject to cancellation or
rescheduling by customers with limited or no

7
<PAGE> 12

penalties. Due to possible changes in delivery schedules, cancellations of
orders and delays in shipments, our backlog at any particular date is not
necessarily indicative of our actual sales for any succeeding period. Delays in
delivery schedules during any particular period could have a material adverse
effect on our sales and profitability for that period. Any cancellations would
have a negative effect on our future sales.

IF WE ARE UNABLE TO MANAGE OUR GROWTH, OUR OPERATING RESULTS WILL BE HARMED.

We have expanded our operations rapidly since 1997. Our backlog has
increased from $942,000 at the end of our 1999 fiscal year to $1.2 million at
the end of our 2000 fiscal year. As of May 27, 2000, our backlog had increased
substantially to $7.5 million. In addition, our number of employees increased
from 11 in February 1998 to 67 in August 2000. We intend to continue to expand
in order to pursue existing and potential market opportunities and are in the
process of hiring additional sales, support, research and development,
manufacturing and other personnel. Our planned rapid growth places severe
demands on management and financial and operational resources.

In order to grow and achieve future success, we must:

-- expand manufacturing capacity;

-- hire, train, manage and retain qualified sales, support,
manufacturing, research and development and other personnel;

-- hire, integrate and retain qualified management personnel;

-- provide local service and support to our customers worldwide; and

-- effectively manage an increasing number of relationships with
customers, suppliers and other third parties and an increasing number
of complex contracts.

Although we intend to rely initially upon the extensive resources of B/E
Aerospace for various support systems, we also will be required to implement new
operational and financial systems, procedures and controls in order to
accommodate our anticipated growth and expansion. If we are not able to install
adequate systems, procedures and controls to support our future operations in an
efficient and timely manner, or if we are unable to otherwise manage our growth
effectively, our business and reputation would suffer.

OUR BUSINESS WILL BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF WE ARE UNABLE TO PROTECT OUR
PROPRIETARY AND PATENTED TECHNOLOGY FROM INFRINGEMENT OR SUCCESSFULLY DEFEND
AGAINST POSSIBLE INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS.

We depend on our ability to protect our proprietary technology, trade
secrets and know how. We rely on a combination of patents, copyright, trademark
and trade secret protections, employee and third-party non-disclosure agreements
and licensing arrangements to protect our intellectual property rights. Despite
our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, existing laws afford only limited
protection. Our pending patent applications may not result in the issuance of
patents. Our existing or future patents might be invalidated or circumvented, or
might fail to provide us with any meaningful protection. Others may
independently develop substantially equivalent technology or gain access to our
trade secrets or intellectual property, or disclose our intellectual property or
trade secrets. In addition, the laws of many foreign jurisdictions do not
protect intellectual property to the same extent as the laws of the United
States. To the extent that we are unable to protect our intellectual property,
or to the extent that our competitors are able to develop a temperature control
system with attributes similar to those of our systems, our competitive
advantage may be lost and our sales and results of operations may suffer.

We, our licensors, licensees, customers or suppliers may be subject to
litigation in the future to protect our intellectual property or as a result of
an alleged infringement of others' intellectual property. Claims for alleged
infringement and any resulting lawsuit, if successful, could subject us to
significant liability for damages and invalidation of our proprietary rights.
Any such lawsuits, regardless of their success, would likely be time consuming
and expensive to resolve and would divert management time and
8
<PAGE> 13

attention. Any potential intellectual property litigation could also force us to
do one or more of the following:

-- stop selling our systems;

-- obtain a license from the owner of the infringed intellectual
property to sell or use the relevant technology, which license may
not be available on reasonable terms, or at all; or

-- redesign our systems to avoid using the relevant technology.

If we are forced to take any of the foregoing actions, our business may
suffer. Although we carry general liability insurance, our insurance may not
cover potential claims of this type or may not be adequate to indemnify us for
all liability that may be imposed. For more information concerning our
intellectual property rights, see "Business -- Intellectual Property" beginning
on page 34.

WE DEPEND ON SOLE SOURCE SUPPLIERS FOR SEVERAL OF OUR KEY COMPONENTS AND HAVE
LONG LEAD TIMES FOR OTHER KEY COMPONENTS. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO BUY KEY COMPONENTS
ON A TIMELY BASIS, WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MEET SCHEDULED DELIVERIES, WHICH WOULD
CAUSE OUR REPUTATION TO SUFFER AND OUR SALES TO DECLINE.

Several of our key components are obtained from single sources of supply.
We do not have guaranteed supply arrangements for these components and we may
not be able to obtain necessary supplies in a timely and cost-effective manner.
Qualifying additional or replacement suppliers is a time-consuming and expensive
process. In addition, lead times for some of our key components can be up to
several months. As a result, we may be required to pay higher than expected
costs for these components which could adversely impact our gross margin.
Financial or other difficulties faced by our suppliers or significant changes in
demand for components used by us could limit the availability of components we
require. Any interruption or delay in the supply of any of these components, or
the inability to obtain these components from alternate sources at acceptable
prices and within a reasonable amount of time, would impede our ability to meet
scheduled deliveries to our customers and cause our reputation to suffer and our
sales to decline.

WE FACE SIGNIFICANT COMPETITION WHICH COULD RESULT IN PRICE REDUCTIONS, REDUCED
MARGINS AND LOSS OF MARKET SHARE.

Our industry is highly competitive and characterized by a few large
competitors, for which the manufacture of temperature control systems is one
part of their business, and many small competitors. In addition, some large OEMs
manufacture their own temperature control systems for incorporation into the
semiconductor manufacturing equipment they supply. We believe that these OEMs
would prefer to outsource cost effective and reliable temperature control
systems from a specialized supplier. Therefore we do not expect semiconductor
equipment manufacturers to compete directly with us in the foreseeable future.
However, because of the rapid growth and change in the semiconductor industry,
OEMs, or other possible competitors, may compete in our industry in the future.

Most of our current direct competitors have longer operating histories and
a number have significantly greater financial, technical, support, marketing and
other resources than we do. As a result, these competitors are able to devote
greater resources to the development, promotion, sale and support of their
products. In addition, many of our competitors have greater name recognition in
our industry, a more extensive customer base and broader product offerings than
we do, as well as relationships with many of our current and potential
customers. These competitors can leverage their customer relationships and
broader product offerings and may cut prices to defend or gain market share. In
addition, competitors with large market capitalization or cash reserves may be
better positioned than we are to acquire companies, including our competitors,
and thereby acquire a larger market share. Any such acquisition could harm our
competitive position.

IF WE ARE UNABLE TO HIRE AND RETAIN SALES, SUPPORT AND MANUFACTURING PERSONNEL,
OUR BUSINESS COULD SUFFER.

We intend to continue to expand our organization, including in engineering,
marketing, manufacturing and other areas. Our ability to attract, hire,
assimilate and retain highly skilled personnel is critical to our future
success. Competition for such personnel is intense, and we expect it will be
difficult to hire a sufficient number of sales, support and manufacturing
personnel. We may fail to attract, hire, assimilate and retain the qualified
personnel necessary to fulfill our current or future needs and as a result our
business could suffer.

WE RELY HEAVILY ON OUR SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND OTHER KEY EMPLOYEES, WHOSE
TECHNICAL EXPERTISE AND KNOWLEDGE OF OUR BUSINESS WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO REPLACE.

Our future success depends on our senior management and other key employees
effectively working together and successfully integrating new members. The loss
of one or more of our executive officers, particularly the loss of Amin J.
Khoury, our chief executive officer, and R. Bruce Thayer, our president and
chief operating officer, or other key personnel could seriously harm our
business and operating results. Any of our officers or key personnel could
resign at any time. We do not maintain key life insurance for any of our key
employees. If we were to lose any of our senior management or other key
personnel, our business could suffer.

WE HAVE NO SIGNIFICANT EXPERIENCE OPERATING IN INTERNATIONAL MARKETS AND WE MAY
NOT BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY ESTABLISH AND MANAGE OUR INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS.

We intend to extend our operations internationally. This will require
management attention and financial resources. We have very limited experience in
marketing, distributing and supporting our systems internationally. If we fail
to establish and manage our international operations, or if our international
expansion is delayed, our growth would be impeded.

In addition, if we successfully establish international operations they
will be subject to inherent risks, including:

-- difficulties and costs of staffing and managing foreign operations;

-- longer sales cycles;

-- additional complexity of establishing and maintaining relationships
with international parties;

-- protectionist laws and business practices that favor local
competition;

-- reduced protection for intellectual property rights in some
countries;

-- difficulties associated with enforcing agreements through foreign
legal systems;

-- difficulty in collecting accounts receivable;

-- fluctuations in currency exchange rates;

-- difficulty in monitoring and complying with numerous and diverse
regulatory requirements;

-- the impact of recessions in economies outside the United States;

-- political and economic instability;

-- import or export licensing requirements; and

-- potentially adverse tax consequences.

WE MAY RECEIVE CANCELLATIONS OF LARGE PURCHASE ORDERS ON SHORT NOTICE THAT
RESULT IN OUR CARRYING EXCESS INVENTORY OR INCURRING ADDITIONAL COSTS OR
ADDITIONAL LARGE PURCHASE ORDERS THAT EXCEED OUR PRODUCTION CAPACITY.

Our customers may cancel large purchase orders with little notice or may
place large purchase orders with short delivery schedules. As a result, we may
have large fluctuations in the volume of manufacturing required. If a customer
cancels or reschedules a large purchase order, we might have to carry excess
inventory, our gross margins could decline or we may have to modify systems we
have already produced in order to make them compatible with different OEMs'
manufacturing equipment. As a result, we may incur additional costs and our
operating results could suffer. Large new purchase orders may exceed our
production capacity and we may not be able to fill orders on time, which could
damage our reputation and our customer base.

ANY ACQUISITIONS WE MAKE COULD DISRUPT OUR BUSINESS AND HARM OUR OPERATING
RESULTS.

Although we have no such current plans, we may in the future acquire or
make investments in complementary companies, products or technologies. In the
event of any such acquisitions or investments, we could:

-- issue stock that would dilute our current shareholders' percentage
ownership;

-- incur debt;

-- assume liabilities;

-- incur amortization expenses related to goodwill and other tangible
assets; or

-- incur large and immediate write offs.

Acquisitions or investments also involve numerous risks, including:

-- problems combining the purchased operations, technologies or products
with ours;

-- unanticipated costs;

-- diversion of management's attention from our core business;

-- adverse effects on existing business relationships with suppliers and
customers;

-- potential loss of key employees, particularly those of the acquired
organizations; and

-- reliance to our disadvantage on the judgment and decisions of third
parties and our lack of control over operations.

Any acquisition or investment may cause our financial results to suffer as a
result of these risks.

WE ARE VULNERABLE TO DISASTERS AND OTHER DISRUPTIVE EVENTS THAT COULD
TEMPORARILY DISRUPT OR EVEN SHUT DOWN OUR ASSEMBLY OPERATIONS BECAUSE ALL OF OUR
OPERATIONS ARE CONDUCTED IN ONE FACILITY IN ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA.

We conduct all of our operations at our facility in Anaheim, California.
Significant damage or other impediments to the facility, whether as a result of
fire, weather, breakdowns of equipment, earthquakes or other natural disasters,
industrial accidents or other causes could disrupt or shut down our operations.
Although we maintain insurance, including business interruption insurance,
against some, but not all, of these events, our insurance may be inadequate to
cover any direct or indirect losses or liabilities resulting from such events.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH B/E AEROSPACE

WHILE WE ARE CONTROLLED BY B/E AEROSPACE, OUR OTHER SHAREHOLDERS WILL BE UNABLE
TO AFFECT THE OUTCOME OF SHAREHOLDER VOTING. B/E AEROSPACE OWNS THE MAJORITY
VOTING INTEREST IN OUR CAPITAL STOCK, AND ITS VOTING CONTROL IS INCREASED BY ITS
OWNERSHIP OF SUPER VOTING STOCK.

After the completion of this offering, B/E Aerospace will own 88% of the
voting power of our common stock. If the underwriters exercise their
over-allotment option in full, B/E Aerospace will own 86% of the voting power of
our common stock. As a result, for so long as B/E Aerospace owns 50.1% or more
of the voting power of our common stock, B/E Aerospace will control all matters
affecting us, including:

-- the composition of our board of directors and, through it, any
determination with respect to our business direction and policies,
including the appointment and removal of our executive officers;

-- the allocation of business opportunities that may be suitable for B/E
Aerospace and us;

-- any determinations with respect to mergers or other business
combinations involving us;

-- our acquisition or disposition of assets;

-- our debt or equity financing, including future issuance of our common
stock or other securities;

-- changes to the agreements governing our relationship with B/E
Aerospace;

-- amendments to our certificate of incorporation or bylaws; and

-- the payment of dividends on our common stock.

THE TRANSITIONAL SERVICES THAT B/E AEROSPACE WILL PROVIDE TO US MAY NOT BE
SUFFICIENT TO MEET OUR NEEDS, AND WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO REPLACE THESE SERVICES
AFTER OUR AGREEMENTS WITH B/E AEROSPACE EXPIRE.

Historically, we have derived tangible and intangible benefits from being a
subsidiary of B/E Aerospace. To date, we have depended on B/E Aerospace for
various real estate, finance, tax, human resource, legal and other functions,
most of which are typically performed by in-house personnel of independent
companies.

B/E Aerospace has agreed to provide, for a fee, specified transitional
services to us until December 2003, including payroll processing and
administration, human resources administration, benefits, marketing support,
informational technology and telecommunications services, treasury management,
accounting and finance assistance, sales order entry administration and
corporate administrative services. These services may not be provided at the
same level as when we were part of B/E Aerospace and we may not be able to
obtain the same benefits. Furthermore, B/E Aerospace is not obligated to provide
any of these services to the extent that its facilities or personnel are not
reasonably available and for other reasons. We also sublease our current
corporate offices and manufacturing facility from B/E Aerospace pursuant to an
agreement that expires in July 2005.

We may not be able to replace these transitional services, or lease
adequate corporate and manufacturing facilities, in a timely manner or on terms
and conditions, including cost, as favorable as those we will receive from B/E
Aerospace.

These agreements were made in the context of a parent-subsidiary
relationship and may have terms and conditions that are less favorable than
agreements that are negotiated at arm's length. The prices charged to us under
these agreements may be higher or lower than the prices that we may be required
to pay third parties for similar services or the costs of similar services if we
undertake them ourselves. See "Relationships and Transactions with Related
Parties" beginning on page 47 for a more detailed description of these
agreements.

<PAGE> 17

SEVERAL OF OUR DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS MAY HAVE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
BECAUSE OF THEIR OWNERSHIP OF B/E AEROSPACE COMMON STOCK OR THEIR MANAGEMENT
POSITIONS AT B/E AEROSPACE.

Several of our directors and executive officers own a substantial amount of
B/E Aerospace common stock and options to purchase B/E Aerospace common stock.
In addition, Amin J. Khoury, our chairman and chief executive officer, is also
the chairman of the board of B/E Aerospace. Ownership of B/E Aerospace common
stock by our directors and officers after the completion of this offering, or
management positions held by them at B/E Aerospace, could create, or appear to
create, potential conflicts of interest when directors and officers are faced
with decisions that could have different implications for B/E Aerospace and us.
For information regarding directors' and officers' management positions at B/E
Aerospace and their ownership of B/E Aerospace common stock, see "Management"
beginning on page 37 and "Principal Shareholders" beginning on page 50,
respectively.

WE MAY HAVE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST WITH B/E AEROSPACE WITH RESPECT TO OUR PAST
AND ONGOING RELATIONSHIP THAT COULD HARM OUR OPERATIONS.

Conflicts of interest may arise between B/E Aerospace and us relating to
our past and ongoing relationships, including:

-- business combinations involving us or B/E Aerospace, including our
acquisition by a third party;

-- our efforts to raise capital in debt or equity markets;

-- the terms and scope of our intellectual property agreements;

-- labor, tax, and employee benefit matters;

-- employee retention and recruiting;

-- sales or distributions by B/E Aerospace of all or any portion of its
ownership interest in us;

-- the nature, quality and pricing of transitional services B/E
Aerospace has agreed to provide us;

-- business opportunities that may be attractive to both B/E Aerospace
and us; and

-- determinations regarding the allocation of any tax liability.

We may not be able to resolve any potential conflicts and, even if we do,
the resolution may be less favorable than if we were dealing with an
unaffiliated party. The agreements we entered into with B/E Aerospace may be
amended if the parties agree. While we are controlled by B/E Aerospace, B/E
Aerospace may be able to require us to agree to amendments to these agreements
that may be less favorable to us than the original terms of any of these
agreements. For a further discussion of these agreements, see "Relationships and
Transactions with Related Parties" beginning on page 47.

IF WE NEED ADDITIONAL FINANCING TO MAINTAIN AND EXPAND OUR BUSINESS, B/E
AEROSPACE WILL BE UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE FINANCING AND OTHER FINANCING
MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE ON FAVORABLE TERMS.

In the past, our capital needs have been satisfied by B/E Aerospace.
However, following the completion of this offering, B/E Aerospace will no longer
have any obligation to provide funds to finance our working capital or other
cash requirements. We believe our capital requirements will vary significantly
from quarter to quarter, depending on a number of factors, including timing of
capital expenditures, fluctuations in our operating results and cash flows and
our financing activities. We believe that cash generated by our current
operations, along with the proceeds from this offering, will be sufficient to
satisfy our working capital, capital expenditure and research and development
requirements for the foreseeable future. However, we may require or choose to
obtain additional debt or equity financing in the future. We cannot assure you
that financing, if needed, will be available on favorable terms. If we are
unable to obtain financing on favorable terms, or at all, our ability to grow
our business will suffer.

RISKS RELATED TO THIS OFFERING

THIS IS OUR INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING AND OUR STOCK PRICE MAY BE VOLATILE.

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our Class A
common stock. The initial public offering price will be determined by
negotiations among the underwriters, B/E Aerospace and us and may not be
indicative of the market price for the Class A common stock after this offering.
We do not know the extent to which investor interest will lead to the
development of a public market. Recently, the stock market in general, and the
market for technology stocks in particular have experienced extreme volatility
that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular
companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading
price of our Class A common stock. You may not be able to resell the Class A
common stock at or above the initial public offering price.

THE PRICE OF OUR CLASS A COMMON STOCK COULD DECLINE AS A RESULT OF SALES OR
DISTRIBUTIONS OF SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNTS OF COMMON STOCK BY B/E AEROSPACE.

Following this offering, B/E Aerospace will own 10,000,000 shares of our
Class B common stock and may, from time to time, sell some or all of its
remaining shares, which will automatically convert to Class A common stock upon
transfer. A significant amount of our common stock held by B/E Aerospace would
be eligible for immediate resale in the public market following the expiration
of the lock-up period or earlier if the lock-up is waived by the underwriters.
After this offering B/E Aerospace will have certain rights with respect to
registration of its shares for sale to the public. If B/E Aerospace, by
exercising its registration rights, causes a large number of securities to be
registered and sold in the public market, such sales could have an adverse
effect on the market price for our common stock. We are unable to predict
whether significant amounts of our common stock will be sold in the open market
by B/E Aerospace or others. We are also unable to predict whether a sufficient
number of buyers would be in the market at that time. Sales by B/E Aerospace or
others of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or the
perception that such sales might occur, could cause the price of our Class A
common stock to decline. For a more detailed discussion of possible sales of our
common stock following the completion of this offering, see "Shares Eligible for
Future Sale" beginning on page 55.

OUR CHARTER PROVISIONS AND DELAWARE LAW MAY DELAY OR PREVENT US FROM BEING
ACQUIRED, WHICH COULD DECREASE THE VALUE OF YOUR SHARES.

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and Delaware law contain
provisions that would make it harder for a third party to acquire us without the
consent of our board of directors, although these provisions have little
significance while we are controlled by B/E Aerospace. These provisions include
a classified board of directors, limitations on actions by our shareholders by
written consent, limitations on the ability to call a special meeting of
shareholders, limitations on the removal of directors and advance notice
requirements for nomination of directors and other matters to be brought before
a meeting of shareholders. Our board of directors will also have the right to
issue preferred stock without shareholder approval, which could be used to
dilute the stock ownership of a potential hostile acquiror. In addition, Section
203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law will apply to us and will impose
some restrictions on mergers and other business combinations between us and any
holder of 15% or more of our outstanding common stock. Although we believe these
provisions will provide for an opportunity to receive a higher bid by requiring
potential acquirors to negotiate with our board of directors, these provisions
apply even if the offer may be considered beneficial by some shareholders.

For more information regarding the anti-takeover effects of our charter and
bylaws and of Delaware Law, see "Description of Capital Stock -- Anti-takeover
Provisions of Delaware Law and our Charter Documents" beginning on page 53.

<PAGE> 19

INVESTORS IN THE OFFERING WILL EXPERIENCE IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION.

The initial public offering price will be substantially higher than the
book value per share of our outstanding common stock immediately after this
offering. Accordingly, if you purchase Class A common stock in this offering,
you will contribute 193% of our capital but will own only 28.6% of the shares
outstanding. The amount of this dilution in net tangible book value, based on an
assumed per share offering price of $10.00, will be $8.52 per share. In
addition, we have issued options to acquire shares of Class A common stock at
prices below the initial public offering price and have additional shares
reserved under our various stock plans. To the extent these shares are
ultimately issued, there will be further dilution to investors in this offering.
See "Dilution" on page 18 for a more detailed description of how new
shareholders will incur dilution.

OUR MANAGEMENT MAY INVEST OR SPEND THE PROCEEDS OF THIS OFFERING IN WAYS WITH
WHICH YOU MAY NOT AGREE AND IN WAYS THAT MAY NOT YIELD A FAVORABLE RETURN.

Our management will retain broad discretion over the use of proceeds in
this offering. Our management may use the proceeds from this offering in ways
with which you may not agree. We cannot predict that the proceeds will be
invested to yield a favorable return. See "Use of Proceeds" on page 16 for how
we generally intend to use the proceeds from this offering.

IF WE ARE REQUIRED TO RAISE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL, OUR EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS MAY BE
HARMED.

We may raise additional capital through the issuance of stock, debt or a
combination of the two. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of
equity securities, the percentage ownership of our shareholders will be reduced.
In addition, these newly issued equity securities may have rights, preferences
or privileges senior to those of the existing holders of our common stock. If
additional funds are raised through the issuance of debt securities, these
securities would have the rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of
the existing holders of our common stock and the terms of such debt could impose
restrictions on our operations.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus contains forward looking statements. These forward looking
statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current
expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, our beliefs and our
assumptions. Words such as "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "plans,"
"believes," "seeks" and "estimates," and variations of these words and similar
expressions, are intended to identify forward looking statements. These
statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks,
uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and
difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from
those expressed or forecasted in the forward looking statements. These risks and
uncertainties include those described in "Risk Factors" beginning on page 5 and
elsewhere in this prospectus. You are cautioned not to rely on these forward
looking statements, which reflect our management's opinions and beliefs only as
of the date of this prospectus. Except as required by law, we undertake no
obligation to update any forward looking statement, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The net proceeds to us from the sale of the shares being offered by us, at
an assumed public offering price of $10.00 per share, are estimated to be
$35,700,000 after deducting the underwriting discounts and estimated offering
expenses payable by us. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to
pay B/E Aerospace $15 million for the purchase of intellectual property and
repayment of advances from B/E Aerospace made to fund our operations since
inception and the remainder for working capital and general corporate purposes,
including funding any acquisitions or other strategic transactions. The purchase
of intellectual property from B/E Aerospace will be treated as an in-substance
dividend for financial accounting purposes. The advances from B/E Aerospace are
recorded as an intercompany obligation on our balance sheet and are non-interest
bearing. Pending use of the net proceeds of this offering, we intend to invest
the net proceeds in interest bearing, investment grade securities.

DIVIDEND POLICY

Except for the in-substance dividend payable to B/E Aerospace resulting
from our purchase of intellectual property using the proceeds of this offering,
we have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently
intend to retain all available funds and any future income for use in the
operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash
dividends in the foreseeable future.

CAPITALIZATION

The following table sets forth our capitalization as of May 27, 2000:

-- on an actual basis; and

-- on a pro forma as adjusted basis to give effect to the sale of shares
of our Class A common stock in this offering, at an initial public
offering price of $10.00 per share, after deducting estimated
underwriting discounts and offering expenses and a $15 million
payment to B/E Aerospace for the purchase of intellectual property
and repayment of advances from B/E Aerospace to fund our operations
since inception. The purchase of intellectual property from B/E
Aerospace will be treated as an in-substance dividend for financial
accounting purposes.

DILUTION

Our net tangible book value as of May 27, 2000 was $(4.4) million, or
$(0.44) per share of common stock. Net tangible book value per share represents
the amount of our total tangible assets reduced by the amount of our total
liabilities and divided by the total number of shares of our common stock
outstanding. Dilution in net tangible book value per share represents the
difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers of shares of Class A
common stock in this offering and the net tangible book value per share of
common stock immediately after the completion of this offering. After giving
effect to the sale of shares of Class A common stock offered by us at an assumed
initial public offering price of $10.00 per share, after deducting the
underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by us, a $15
million payment to B/E Aerospace for the purchase of intellectual property
(treated as an in-substance dividend for financial accounting purposes) and
repayment of advances from B/E Aerospace to fund our operations since inception,
our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value at May 27, 2000, would have
been $20,717,000 or approximately $1.48 per share of common stock. This
represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $1.92 per share
to our existing shareholder and an immediate dilution of $8.52 per share to new
investors purchasing shares of our Class A common stock in this offering. The
following table illustrates this dilution on a per share basis:

The following table summarizes, on a pro forma as adjusted basis as of May

with respect to the number of shares of common stock purchased from us, the
total consideration paid to us and the average price per share paid by our
existing shareholder and by new investors, before deducting underwriting
discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, at an
assumed initial public offering price of $10.00 per share.

</TABLE>

In the event that we issue additional shares in the future, purchasers of
Class A common stock in this offering will experience further dilution.
Currently there are 1,300,000 additional shares of Class A common stock
available for issuance upon exercise of outstanding stock options at a weighted
average exercise price of $6.75 per share. An additional 900,000 shares of Class
A common stock are currently reserved for issuance under our employee stock
option plan, employee stock purchase plan and directors' plans.

Assuming the exercise in full of all outstanding options, our pro forma as
adjusted net tangible book value as of May 27, 2000 would have been $1.93 per
share, representing an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $2.70
per share to our existing shareholder, and an immediate dilution in net tangible
book value of $8.07 per share to the new investors.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion of our results of operations and
financial condition in conjunction with the financial statements and other
financial information included elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion
contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our
actual results may be materially different from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements resulting from a variety of factors, including, but
not limited to, those under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus.
When we refer to our 1998, 1999 and 2000 fiscal years, we are referring to the
years ended February 28, 1998, February 27, 1999 and February 26, 2000.

OVERVIEW

Our predecessor was formed in 1976 to manufacture refrigeration products
for the commercial aviation industry. In 1993, B/E Aerospace acquired our
predecessor, which continued to focus on the commercial aviation refrigeration
market and has achieved a worldwide market share in excess of 90%. In 1995, B/E
Aerospace began to evaluate the application of refrigeration technology to the
manufacture of semiconductor wafers. ATT formally commenced operations as a
division of B/E Aerospace on February 23, 1997 and was incorporated as a
separate corporation on December 12, 1997 to pursue this opportunity in the
semiconductor manufacturing market. Over 20 years of experience in aircraft
refrigeration products has provided us with the technology and expertise to
develop and manufacture specialized key components for demanding temperature
control applications.

We first introduced our systems in 1998. A major semiconductor manufacturer
publicly recognized and endorsed the benefits provided by our systems and
negotiated with Applied Materials to have our systems included with their
shipment of one of Applied Materials' etching tools. Since that time, our
products have been selected for several of Applied Material's recently
introduced tools.

As a result of our relationship with Applied Materials, sales of our
systems have grown rapidly. We had net sales of $28,000, $517,000 and $6.8
million, respectively during our 1998, 1999 and 2000 fiscal years. We had net
sales of $4.2 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2001 as compared
with $670,000 for the comparable quarter of the prior year. We have shipped over
400 systems as of August 2000. Our systems are installed in over 40
semiconductor manufacturing facilities around the globe, including in the United
States, Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Singapore and in various countries in Europe.

Substantially all of our sales for all fiscal years and all interim periods
presented were to Applied Materials. 100% and 99% of our net sales for fiscal
2000 and for the three months ended May 27, 2000 were direct sales to Applied
Materials. Recently we have begun to address the end user market and, to date,
have shipped two systems to end user customers. We intend to aggressively target
the end user market. We believe that, as end users specify with OEMs that their
new equipment contain our temperature control systems, the adoption of our
systems by OEMs will be stimulated. We believe that the successful development
and sale of temperature control systems for the end user market will increase
our total sales and gross margins, diversify our sales to a greater number of
customers and lower our susceptibility to the cyclicality of the semiconductor
industry.

Our temperature control systems require sophisticated sales and support
efforts. We intend to rely on Helix to sell, market and support our systems
worldwide. In addition, we plan to hire sales and support product specialists
managers worldwide to work in conjunction with Helix's sales force. We expect
our operating expenses to increase as a result of our increase in personnel and
commissions paid to Helix.

20
<PAGE> 25

We invest significantly in research and development and seek to maintain
close technical and commercial relationships with OEMs and end users to remain
responsive to their systems needs and changing requirements. Our research and
development efforts have led to a number of patented efficiency and performance
breakthroughs, including the development of our multi-channel system design, our
thermally isolated regenerative turbine pumping mechanism and our proportional
thermal expansion valve control. Our research and development expenses were $1.3
million, $1.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively, for fiscal 1998, 1999 and
2000. We have budgeted research and development expenditures of approximately
$1.7 million for this fiscal year. The budgeted increase in this fiscal year
primarily reflects development of systems to interface with and support a
broader range of wafer manufacturing equipment sold by Applied Materials and
other OEMs, primarily to address the retrofit and replacement market. We expect
that research and development expenditures will remain a substantial percentage
of net sales in future years.

We generally recognize revenue from equipment sales upon shipment. No
revenue is recognized on systems shipped on a trial basis until the trial period
is completed and the equipment is accepted by the customer. Our systems
generally carry a warranty of 12 to 36 months from the date of shipment or
installation. Estimated sales returns and warranty costs are accrued at the time
the related revenue is recognized. In future years, after the expiration of our
warranty period, customers may contract for support services over and beyond our
warranty period. Revenue from such support contracts and from extended warranty
contracts would be recognized ratably over the service period.

Prior to incorporation, our activities were conducted as part of another
operation within B/E Aerospace. We have had various transactions with B/E
Aerospace, including various expense allocations and reimbursements, which are
material in amount. Our operating expenses include allocations of general
corporate overhead expenses related to B/E Aerospace's corporate headquarters
and common support activities, including payroll administration, worker's
compensation and general liability insurance, accounting and finance, legal, tax
and human resources. These costs have been allocated to us using methodologies
based upon headcount, actual usage or total assets, as applicable. Although we
believe the allocations are reasonable, the costs of these services to us may
not be indicative of the costs that would have been incurred if we had been a
stand-alone entity. In July 2000 we entered into a transition services agreement
with B/E Aerospace whereby B/E Aerospace will continue to provide a number of
these services to us.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MAY 27, 2000 COMPARED WITH THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MAY 29,
1999

Net sales were $4.2 million for the three months ended May 27, 2000, an
increase of 534% from net sales of $670,000 for the corresponding period in the
prior year. Demand for semiconductor manufacturing equipment increased during
the first quarter of this fiscal year, generating further demand for our
systems. This industry wide trend, coupled with the rollout of our three new
system configurations in volume for the first time are the principal reasons for
our revenue growth.

Gross profit was $1.6 million, or 38.0% of net sales, for the three months
ended May 27, 2000, as compared with $68,000, or 10.1% of net sales, for the
same period in the prior year. Our gross profit increase was a function of
increased revenues and a higher gross margin resulting from more efficient
manufacturing.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $649,000, or 15.3% of net
sales, for the three months ended May 27, 2000 as compared with $190,000, or
28.4% of net sales, in the comparable period in the prior year. The increase in
selling, general and administrative expenses reflects the increase in sales
volume and added personnel and related costs. We expect our selling, general and
administrative spending to continue to increase in the aggregate. The planned
increase in spending is necessary to pursue the end user market and expand our
sales and product support.

Research and development expenses were $250,000, or 5.9% of net sales, for
the three months ended May 27, 2000, a decrease of 43.7% from $444,000, or 66.3%
of net sales, for the three months ended May 29, 1999. The decrease is
attributable to the completed development of certain new products in the current
period. We expect that our research and development spending will increase over
the next several years as we develop new system configurations.

Income from operations was $714,000 for the three months ended May 27,
2000, or $1.3 million greater than the loss from operations of $566,000 in the
first quarter last year. The improvement in profitability is the result of
higher sales at a better gross margin.

Since inception we have been included in the consolidated tax returns of
B/E Aerospace and B/E Aerospace has realized the tax benefits associated with a
portion of our losses through that date. For the three months ended May 27,
2000, we utilized our net operating loss and research and development credit
carryforwards to offset taxable income through the reversal of associated
valuation allowances. As a result, no provision for income taxes was required.

The increase in sales volume, coupled with an improved gross margin and
lower operating expenses as a percentage of sales resulted in net income and net
income per share of $714,000 and $.07 respectively, for the quarter ended May
27, 2000 as compared with a net loss and net loss per share of $566,000 and $.06
for the comparable period in the previous year.

YEAR ENDED FEBRUARY 26, 2000 (2000 FISCAL YEAR) COMPARED WITH THE YEAR ENDED
FEBRUARY 27, 1999 (1999 FISCAL YEAR)

Net sales were $6.8 million for the 2000 fiscal year, or $6.3 million
greater than net sales of $517,000 in the prior fiscal year. The increase in net
sales was primarily due to initial volume deliveries of two of our new system
configurations.

Gross profit was $1.3 million, or 18.7% of net sales, during the 2000
fiscal year as compared with $126,000 or 24.4% of net sales, in the 1999 fiscal
year. Our gross margin decreased during the 2000 fiscal year as we implemented
new manufacturing systems and experienced manufacturing inefficiencies.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the 2000 fiscal year were
$1.3 million, or 19.2% of net sales, as compared with $493,000, or 95.4% of net
sales, in the prior fiscal year. Our expenses increased primarily due to
increased sales volume and development of our sales and marketing organization.

22
<PAGE> 27

Research and development expense was $1.6 million, or 23.8% of net sales,
in the 2000 fiscal year, as compared with $1.8 million, or 339% of net sales, in
the prior fiscal year. The decrease in research and development expense was due
to the completed development of certain new products.

The higher gross profit during the 2000 fiscal year, offset by a $678,000
increase in operating expenses, resulted in a loss from operations of $1.7
million, or $466,000 less than the loss from operations of $2.1 million for the
1999 fiscal year.

YEAR ENDED FEBRUARY 27, 1999 (1999 FISCAL YEAR) COMPARED WITH THE YEAR ENDED
FEBRUARY 28, 1998 (1998 FISCAL YEAR)

We do not believe meaningful comparisons can be made between income
statement data for the 1998 and the 1999 fiscal year due to the start-up nature
of our business during the 1998 fiscal year. Our loss of $1.3 million for the
1998 fiscal year substantially resulted from research and development expenses
of $1.3 million.

QUARTERLY RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following tables set forth our unaudited quarterly results of
operations data for the seven quarters ended May 27, 2000, and as percentages of
our net sales for the same periods. This information has been prepared on a

We began volume shipments in February 1999. Our operating results are
likely to fluctuate significantly in the future. We anticipate that factors
affecting our future operating results will include the amount and timing of
orders for our temperature control systems; swings in inventories of our
products held by our OEM customers; the patterns of capital spending by our end
user customers; our ability to

23
<PAGE> 28

develop, manufacture, introduce, ship and support new systems and system
enhancements; announcements, new product introductions and reductions in the
price of temperature control systems offered by our competitors; the amount and
timing of our research and development expenses; our ability to control costs;
our ability to obtain sufficient supplies of sole source components or products
with long lead times; changes in the prices of our components; costs relating to
possible acquisitions and integration of technologies or businesses; and
semiconductor equipment market conditions. We expect that a substantial portion
of our annual future sales will come from a relatively small number of
customers.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our liquidity requirements consist of working capital to fund our planned
revenue growth, and ongoing capital expenditures. To date, all of our working
capital requirements, which were not otherwise funded by our operating results,
have been provided by B/E Aerospace. We had a working capital deficit of $4.8
million as of May 27, 2000, as compared with $5.4 million as of February 26,
2000. The increase in our working capital position during the three months ended
May 27, 2000 was primarily due to a decrease in inventories, offset by an
increase in accounts payable.

Cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended May 27,
2000 was $1.4 million as compared with cash used in operating activities of
$633,000 for the three months ended May 29, 1999. The sources of cash during the
current quarter were net income of $714,000, a decrease in inventories of
$705,000, an increase in accounts payable of $1,077,000, a decrease in prepaid
and other current assets of $1,000 and non-cash charges for depreciation and
amortization of $19,000, offset by an increase in accounts receivable of
$865,000 and a decrease in other assets and liabilities of $291,000. Cash used
in operating activities was $2.1 million in the 2000 fiscal year. The primary
uses of cash during that period were the net loss of $1.7 million and an
increase in accounts receivable and inventories aggregating $2.5 million, offset
by increases in accounts payable and other assets and liabilities aggregating
$2.0 million.

We do not currently have a line of credit, although we expect to establish
a credit facility for cash management purposes in the near term. We believe the
proceeds from this offering, together with anticipated cash flows from
operations, will satisfy our projected working capital and capital expenditure
requirements for the foreseeable future. To the extent that we grow more rapidly
than expected, we may need additional cash to finance our operations and capital
expenditures.

MARKET RISKS

We are not presently exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates
as we are not a party to any interest bearing debt instruments. We are not
exposed to market risk from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates
because our systems are sold in U.S. dollars and the major components used to
manufacture our products are purchased in U.S. dollars. Additionally, we are not
party to any derivative financial instruments.

IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (as amended by SFAS
No. 137), which we are required to adopt effective in our 2002 fiscal year. SFAS
No. 133, as amended, will require us to record all derivatives on the balance
sheet at fair value. We do not currently engage in hedging activities and will
continue to evaluate the effect of adopting SFAS No. 133. We will adopt SFAS No.
133 in our 2002 fiscal year. We do not expect SFAS No. 133 to have a significant
effect on our results of operations or financial position.

In December 1999, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No.
101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements. SAB No. 101 summarizes the SEC
staff's views in applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue
recognition in financial statements. We do not expect its implementation will
have an effect on our current revenue recognition policy.

BUSINESS

OVERVIEW

We design, manufacture and sell systems that precisely control the
temperature of process chambers in equipment used to manufacture semiconductors.
Our temperature control systems, which have both proprietary system design and
patented key components, provide major improvements in reliability, size,
temperature response time, thermal capacity, thermal performance and efficiency
relative to leading competitive systems. Our multi-channel design enables a
single ATT temperature control system, using a single compressor, to support
multiple coolant channels with independently controlled temperatures, unlike
leading competitive systems which typically require separate systems for each
coolant channel. As a result, by using our systems, we believe a semiconductor
manufacturer is able to significantly increase wafer production through higher
production uptime and consistent performance over the life of the system. These
benefits result in an improvement in return on capital investment in
semiconductor equipment. In addition, we believe that our systems offer
substantially lower total cost of ownership of temperature control systems as
compared with leading competitive systems.

Our systems are included in several recently introduced Applied Materials
tools for physical deposition and etch processes. In addition, our systems are
currently available to replace temperature control systems in existing
facilities which employ several types of equipment manufactured by Applied
Materials and LAM Research. We have shipped over 400 temperature control systems
and, as of May 27, 2000, had a backlog of $7.5 million, with deliveries
scheduled through November 2000. Currently our systems are installed in over 40
major semiconductor manufacturing facilities around the globe including in the
United States, Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Singapore and in various countries in
Europe.

SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY BACKGROUND

Growth of the semiconductor industry reflects rapidly growing applications
in telecommunications equipment, consumer electronics, wireless communication
devices, personal computers and many other products. Worldwide sales of
semiconductors are expected to be $195 billion in 2000, according to
Semiconductor Industry Association.

Advancing technology and increasing semiconductor demand have created a
fast-growing, technology-driven market for semiconductor manufacturing
equipment. The latest manufacturing equipment is generally used to build new
leading edge fabrication facilities and to expand existing facilities to upgrade
capabilities and increase efficiencies. The worldwide semiconductor
manufacturing equipment market is projected to be $30.3 billion in 2000,
according to Dataquest.

Development of technology to manufacture semiconductor chips with smaller
feature sizes (for example, 0.18 micron and below) enables semiconductor
manufacturers to produce higher performance chips and a greater number of chips
per wafer. However, shrinking feature sizes cause manufacturing yields to become
increasingly sensitive to defects and process variances. The reduction in
feature sizes, combined with more complex multi-level circuitry and increased
chip performance have also led to the need for a new electrical conducting
material for interconnection of semiconductors on the chip. Copper is becoming a
material of choice to replace aluminum alloy as the conducting material for
semiconductors, requiring semiconductor manufacturers to purchase new
specialized fabrication equipment.

The semiconductor industry is also beginning to migrate from 200 millimeter
to 300 millimeter wafers. Larger wafers lower the manufacturing cost per
semiconductor chip by increasing the number of chips per wafer. Processing
larger wafers requires the acquisition of a new generation of more expensive
equipment by semiconductor manufacturers. Equipment sales for 300 millimeter
wafer manufacturing are estimated to be $6.5 billion in 2001, according to
Dataquest. The premium on yields, uptime and throughput is rising as 300
millimeter manufacturing is adopted.

25
<PAGE> 30

Advanced semiconductor manufacturing facilities have become extremely
expensive and contain numerous highly sophisticated, very costly tools. The cost
of building a new semiconductor manufacturing facility ranges from $700 million
to $3 billion. Within a major semiconductor manufacturing facility, there
generally are over 100 main wafer processing tools, such as deposition,
lithography and etch tools. The prices for these wafer processing tools are
increasing as the industry moves from 200 millimeter to 300 millimeter wafers
and technology advances to manufacture smaller feature size semiconductors.

Furthermore, the rapid pace of technology advance requires fast
depreciation of these costly tools and facilities. The high cost and rapid
depreciation of this equipment places an extremely high premium on yields,
uptime and throughput. The importance of return on investment increases as
equipment cost and depreciation rise.

Numerous types of subsystems and utility equipment are essential to support
the functions of the main wafer processing tools. Some types of subsystems, such
as those that control temperature and pressure, are closely integrated with the
main wafer processing tools. The performance, precision and reliability of such
integrated subsystems directly impact the revenue generation and return on
investment of this costly equipment. Demands for increased performance,
precision and reliability of such subsystems have been escalating in response to
the increasing importance of yields, uptime and throughput.

THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM INDUSTRY

Temperature control systems are one of the most ubiquitous types of
subsystems in a semiconductor manufacturing facility and are required to support
precise control of temperature for many key wafer processing tools, including
those involved in the processes of chemical and physical deposition, etch,
chemical mechanical planarization, rapid thermal processing and ion
implantation. Each specific wafer process typically has a precise temperature
requirement.

New facility construction and expansions or upgrades in existing facilities
creates a market for temperature control systems for new wafer processing
equipment which we estimate to be over $200 million in 2000, based on data from
industry sources and on our own analysis and industry experience. In addition,
we believe a substantial replacement and retrofit market exists for a superior
temperature control solution. We estimate that the installed base of temperature
control systems in semiconductor manufacturing facilities constructed since 1993
exceeds 50,000 units, which had an aggregate purchase price in excess of $1.5
billion, based on data from industry sources and on our own analysis and
industry experience.

Technical advances in the semiconductor industry leading to smaller feature
sizes and adoption of 300 millimeter wafers require semiconductor original
equipment manufacturers and semiconductor manufacturers to substantially
increase the thermal capacity, temperature range and precision of their
temperature control systems. The trend to 300 millimeter wafers requires that
temperature control systems deliver more than twice the cooling capacity than
for 200 millimeter wafers, because the heat that must be removed from a 300
millimeter process chamber is more than twice that which must be removed from a
200 millimeter process chamber. The trend to smaller feature sizes increases the
requirements for more selective, or critical, etch process steps that form deep
and narrow trenches and vias. The process plasma density must be higher and the
wafer must be cooler for the etch process tool to achieve this increased
selectivity, thus substantially increasing the required thermal capacity of the
temperature control systems. The trend to copper conducting material requires
more advanced deposition processes which require lower temperatures than other
deposition processes. Critical etch and advanced deposition and other processes
for smaller feature sizes require more precise control of temperature in the
process chamber. In many advanced processes, temperature precision in the
process chamber has a significant impact on process uniformity and manufacturing
yields.

Advanced processes, such as these, are creating new, more demanding
specifications for temperature control systems. A temperature range of
-40(degrees)C to +120(degrees)C is required to support a number of these
advanced wafer manufacturing processes. In addition, we believe a new
temperature precision specification of substantially better than +/-1(degrees)C
is emerging.
26
<PAGE> 31

The amount of time that a temperature control system needs to change the
temperature in a wafer processing chamber can have a large impact on overall
process tool productivity. Temperature generally must change to accommodate
changes of processes in a given chamber, chamber cleaning and other types of
maintenance. Frequent changes of processes occur in foundries where many
different semiconductor designs are being manufactured in the same facility as
well as during the initial testing and qualifying of manufacturing processes. In
addition, temperature changes are usually required in order to clean or maintain
process chambers and then return them to operation. Cleaning cycles may occur as
often as every day. Each of these types of temperature change requirements
removes the tool from production while the temperature is changing, and may also
cause downtime for a number of other costly process tools because of work flow
scheduling issues throughout the facility.

To obtain consistent and high yields, many advanced processes are requiring
a new class of highly stable temperature control coolant that substantially
eliminates any coolant impact on power supply variables. These perflourinated
coolants, such as Galden(TM), are much more prone to leak and to wear out pump
mechanisms than a traditional water/ethylene glycol coolant. Leading competitive
temperature control systems cannot effectively utilize Galden(TM) without
specialized components and features.

Leading competitive temperature control systems used with wafer processing
tools have mainly incorporated components and engineering approaches common to
broader types of refrigeration and heating equipment, where the performance,
reliability and precision requirements are much less than in semiconductor
manufacturing. Key problems with leading competitive temperature control systems
are low reliability, large size, slow temperature response time, limited thermal
capacity and performance, and inefficiency. These factors have a significant
impact on the return on investment of the semiconductor manufacturing facility
as well as the total cost of ownership of the temperature control systems.

LIMITED RELIABILITY. The reliability of leading competitive temperature
control systems is generally limited by valve failures, pump leaks, pump wear
causing fluid flow rate degradation and other components and fittings that are
unreliable. Most leading competitive temperature control systems experience the
following reliability issues:

-- valve failures caused by the valve continually opening and closing in
order to control refrigerant flow;

-- pumps with external moving seals that are prone to leak coolant
fluids; and

-- pumps that operate with a significant amount of metal to metal or
other material contact within the pump that causes parts wear and
coolant flow rate degradation.

The reliability limitations of these pumps coupled with valve failure and
other component unreliability can require frequent preventive maintenance or
cause substantial out of service downtime of semiconductor equipment and
replacement or rebuilding of leading competitive temperature control systems.

LARGE FOOTPRINT. Leading competitive temperature control systems range in
size from 2.3 to 15.6 square feet per coolant channel. In addition, each of
these systems requires a complete refrigeration system per coolant channel.
Therefore, in order to simultaneously perform processes requiring different
temperatures, a semiconductor manufacturer must install multiple separate
temperature control systems, each consuming valuable space and multiplying
operating cost.

LENGTHY TEMPERATURE RESPONSE TIMES. Leading competitive temperature
control systems rely on a high volume fluid reservoir, typically seven to eight
gallons, for control of temperature. This reservoir must be cooled or heated to
adjust the system temperature, thus substantially slowing thermal response and
reducing overall process tool productivity.

THERMAL CAPACITY AND TEMPERATURE RANGE LIMITATIONS. Leading competitive
temperature control systems experience reduced cooling or heating capacity
because of heat transfer between the motor drive and the coolant fluid. In
addition, leading temperature control systems generally do not have the thermal
capability to both reach high temperatures, above +80(degrees)C, and very low
temperatures, below -20(degrees)C. As a

27
<PAGE> 32

result, semiconductor manufacturers must use multiple types of systems within
the same facility to control the temperatures of their various processes.

TEMPERATURE PRECISION LIMITATIONS. Coolant flow variations caused by pump
wear and temperature deviations related to valve control technology reduce
temperature precision of leading competitive temperature control systems.

HIGH OPERATING COSTS. As a result of the limitations described above,
semiconductor manufacturers experience high operating costs with leading
competitive temperature control systems. System failures result in the need for
frequent and costly system maintenance and increased costs for parts
replacement. Semiconductor manufacturers also need to fill large volume fluid
reservoirs, often with expensive refrigerant. Most significant, however, is the
loss of the ability to manufacture semiconductors while a temperature control
system is being adjusted to the required temperature, repaired or replaced.

We believe that leading OEMs and semiconductor manufacturers seeking a new
generation of temperature control systems for new process tools or to retrofit
existing process tools in order to improve productivity and performance. We
believe that most OEMs and end users would prefer to standardize their
temperature control system vendor across their product lines and/or processes.
Therefore, we believe that a vendor whose equipment can be configured to meet
the performance and cost requirements of substantially all types of processes
with a single modular platform may have an opportunity to become the vendor of
choice throughout the industry for new equipment and upgraded equipment. Major
penetration of the new and upgrade market by such temperature control systems
also would increase the benefits of retrofitting such temperature control
systems on existing process tools. These benefits, derived from commonality of
systems and components, include lower costs of training and maintenance, reduced
inventory requirements, cumulative learning and enhanced supplier relationships.

THE ATT SOLUTION

We have designed a family of highly reliable, compact and efficient
temperature control systems for semiconductor manufacturing. Our technology
draws on over 20 years of experience in the aviation refrigeration products
business. By using our systems, we believe a semiconductor manufacturer is able
to increase wafer production through lower production downtime and consistent
performance over the life of the system.

The key benefits to semiconductor manufacturers of our systems include:

HIGH DEGREE OF SYSTEM RELIABILITY. Our systems eliminate key wearing parts
and, based on performance to date and our aerospace experience, should achieve
continuous operation of more than 30,000 hours without requiring repair or
replacement. Our patented regenerative turbine pumping mechanism is designed to
address the full range of applications, including the most demanding
applications utilizing perflourinated coolant fluids, while substantially
eliminating the wear and leakage associated with other typical pumping
mechanisms. This design substantially extends the life of the pumping mechanism
and produces a consistent, maximum coolant flow rate throughout the life of the
pump, significantly increasing temperature control precision. Our patented
proportional thermal expansion valve control is designed to eliminate high duty
cycle off and on valve switching to control temperature regulation, thereby
significantly reducing the frequency of failures and providing more precise and
reliable temperature control. More precise and reliable temperature control
increases yields of key semiconductor manufacturing processes.

COMPACT COST-EFFICIENT DESIGN. Each of our systems can control the
independent temperatures of multiple process chambers as a result of our
patented multi-channel design. For example, based on the existing design of a
typical etch cluster tool, one ATT system is currently capable of replacing up
to six competitive systems, dramatically reducing capital cost and the use of
facility floor space. In addition, our systems are designed to operate without
reliance on high volume coolant reservoirs.

FAST TEMPERATURE RESPONSE TIME. Our systems do not rely on heating and
cooling a large volume of fluid in order to maintain temperature control. As a
result our systems are capable of cooling in
28
<PAGE> 33

approximately three to five minutes and heating in approximately 10 to 12
minutes, at least four times faster than leading competitive temperature control
systems. Therefore, semiconductor manufacturers experience a significant
increase in production uptime and throughput.

PRECISE, HIGH CAPACITY, THERMAL PERFORMANCE. Our patented regenerative
turbine pumping mechanism provides thermal isolation technology that isolates
the motor drive from the fluid pump, significantly decreasing the transfer of
heat between the drive and the coolant fluid. In low temperature applications,
this isolation technology enables our systems to maximize cooling power provided
to the manufacturing process. In high temperature applications, this technology
protects our pump mechanism from being overheated by the system fluid. As a
result, our systems are able to consistently maintain temperatures ranging from
-40(degrees)C to +120(degrees)C, with a precision of substantially better than
+/-1(degrees)C, suitable for the most demanding semiconductor manufacturing
applications.

LOW OPERATING COSTS. Our proprietary multi-channel system design coupled
with our patented, highly reliable pump technology provides low temperature
control systems operating costs as a result of the following:

-- the elimination of on and off valve control, dramatically reducing
valve failure, maintenance costs and replacement costs;

-- the elimination of the need for a large volume reservoir and the
associated high cost of coolant; and

-- reduced cooling water, electrical power and installation expenses.

PLUG AND PLAY RETROFIT CAPABILITY. Each of our systems is manufactured
based on a common system design using modular parts. Therefore, we can rapidly
develop and provide semiconductor manufacturers a plug and play alternative to
competitive temperature control systems.

OUR STRATEGY

Our objective is to be the leading provider of temperature control systems
in the semiconductor equipment industry. Key elements of our strategy include:

TARGET END USER MARKET. We believe that, as end users specify that their
new equipment contain our temperature control systems, the adoption of our
systems by OEMs will be stimulated. We also intend to aggressively target the
end user replacement and retrofit market by demonstrating the benefits of our
systems to end users.

EXPAND SYSTEM APPLICATIONS. We are currently developing and will continue
to develop additional systems to make our temperature control technology
available for use in a broader range of semiconductor manufacturing equipment.
To date we have sold systems for use in a number of Applied Materials' recently
introduced tools and intend to develop systems that are compatible with
additional Applied Materials' tools and with other OEM manufacturers' tools.
These new systems will be based on our new modular platform-based system design.
Over the long term, we may also develop extensions of our technology for use in
other related industries. We believe that our modular system approach allows us
to quickly and cost-effectively develop new configurations and easily
accommodate these configurations into our manufacturing processes. We may
acquire or enter into strategic relationships with companies in similar or
related businesses in order to expand our product offerings.

BROADEN OEM CUSTOMER BASE. We intend to expand the number of our OEM
customers. We believe that our successful penetration of the end user
replacement market will result in end users increasingly specifying to OEMs that
our systems be included with their equipment. Our first order from Applied
Materials for use in manufacturing production at an end-user facility, for
example, was initiated based on an end user's endorsement of our systems and
negotiations by the end user with Applied Materials. We believe that we can
configure our existing, modular, system to interoperate with the equipment
manufactured by a number of OEMs by adapting and replacing a small number of
components.

29
<PAGE> 34

PROVIDE GLOBAL CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SUPPORT. The market for our
temperature control systems is global. We believe that to penetrate the global
market for our systems aggressively, we must provide effective customer service
and support throughout the world. We intend to expand our sales and support
capabilities by leveraging Helix's worldwide sales and support infrastructure.

SYSTEMS AND TECHNOLOGIES

Our systems provide multiple, independently controlled, coolant channels
that are used for controlling temperatures within semiconductor manufacturing
equipment. Our systems regulate temperatures, within the range of -40(degrees)C
to +120(degrees)C, with a precision of substantially better than +/-1(degrees)C.
Our systems are comprised of a refrigeration system and up to three temperature
controlled coolant channels with electronic controls in a rugged enclosure. Each
system interfaces with the semiconductor manufacturing tool and its process
chambers through insulated supply and return hoses and electrical controls.

Our systems are currently being used to control temperatures in the
following wafer processing tools:

-- Applied Materials' Super e dielectric etcher;

-- Applied Materials' e Max high density plasma dielectric etcher;

-- Applied Materials' Endura Electra copper seed layer deposition
equipment;

-- Applied Materials' Centura dielectric etch systems; and

-- One of LAM Research's etch systems.

Our systems are designed with several key patented features, including a
multi-channel design, our unique pump mechanism and proportional thermal
expansion valve control.

</TABLE>

All of our system configurations are tailored to requirements of the
specific processes using modular components. Many of our key components are
based on proprietary technology. Many of the components are common to each
configuration, including the thermal expansion valves and their controls, pump
mechanisms, receiver, compressor, evaporators, heaters, electrical system,
system controls and interlocks, piping, and frame and enclosure. Tailoring a
basic system to a particular end user or OEM generally
30
<PAGE> 35

requires selection and incorporation of the mechanical and electrical interfaces
to the wafer manufacturing equipment and definition of components for the
particular temperature control requirements.

We are currently introducing advanced, modular platform-based systems which
facilitate simple reconfiguration for multiple applications. These new
platform-based systems will also improve manufacturing efficiency and provide
parts commonality across a broad range of applications. In addition, these new
platform-based systems provide fail safe features to prevent pump failure even
if the unit is mistakenly operated with no coolant fluid. System and parts
commonality should reduce our customers' training, parts inventory, repair
facility, and support management costs. We are also designing and prototype
testing system configurations for a number of additional OEM wafer processing
tools which we believe will be of particular interest to end users for potential
replacement of their existing temperature control systems.

SALES, MARKETING AND CUSTOMER SUPPORT

To date, we have sold our temperature control systems through our direct
sales personnel and third party representatives. Substantially all of our sales
have been to Applied Materials. In sales of our systems through Applied
Materials, we have been directly involved in a number of instances with the
ultimate end user to determine system requirements.

We intend to enter into a strategic teaming agreement with Helix under
which Helix will market, sell and support our systems worldwide. The Helix sales
and services organization numbers 73 in the United States and 81
internationally, including 21 third party representatives.

We believe that maintaining ongoing relationships with both OEMs and with
the ultimate end users will be important to our success. We plan to hire sales
and support product specialists who will be located at Helix's offices worldwide
and will work in conjunction with Helix to promote our systems.

Under our agreement with Helix, Helix's services and support personnel will
provide support services to all our OEM and end user customers. We will provide
support and training to Helix in our facilities in Anaheim. We intend to offer
maintenance services, primarily through Helix, at the expiration of our warranty
terms to our customers.

We have agreed to pay Helix sales and product support commissions in
connection with each sale of our products that results from sales efforts by
Helix. The amount of the commission we are required to pay Helix depends on the
nature of the product sold and the type of customer. Our agreement with Helix
has a term of three years, but may be cancelled by either party upon 180 days
notice.

Our marketing team has used a variety of marketing initiatives and programs
to support the sale and distribution of our systems. The audience for these
activities included third party sales representatives, current and prospective
OEM and end user customers, the trade press and analysts. Marketing activities
include participation in technical and sales conferences, preparation of sales
tools and distributing marketing collateral, including brochures, CDs, system
bulletins, system presentations, operations manuals and engineering documents.
Our product/marketing managers will work with Helix to develop marketing
materials and to continue our market efforts worldwide.

Our systems generally carry a warranty of 12 to 36 months from the date of
shipment or installation. In the past, Applied Materials has provided on site
support for all of our systems installed in its equipment as part of its
equipment sales, while our own engineers have provided support to Applied
Materials under the terms of our warranty.

CUSTOMERS

Until now, substantially all of our sales have been to Applied Materials,
the leading semiconductor equipment manufacturer. 100% and 99% of our net sales
for fiscal 2000 and for the three months ended May 27, 2000 were direct sales to
Applied Materials. We have recently begun to pursue the end user replacement and
retrofit market and, to date, have shipped two systems to end user customers. We
intend

31
<PAGE> 36

to aggressively target the end user replacement and retrofit market by
demonstrating the benefits of our systems to end users. We believe that our
strategic alliance with Helix will substantially accelerate this process. We
believe that, as end users specify with OEMs that their new equipment contain
our temperature control systems, the adoption of our systems by OEMs will be
stimulated.

Currently, our temperature control systems are installed in equipment in
over 40 semiconductor manufacturing facilities located in the United States,
Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Singapore and various countries in Europe, owned by the
following semiconductor manufacturers:

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Technology in the semiconductor equipment industry changes rapidly,
requiring us to continue to develop and introduce new system configurations. To
remain competitive, we believe we must develop new and enhanced system
configurations and introduce these systems on time and at competitive costs.

We invest significantly in research and development and seek to maintain
close technical and commercial relationships with OEMs and end users to remain
responsive to their system needs and changing requirements. We conduct our
research and development at our facilities in Anaheim, California where we
benefit from our access to B/E Aerospace's engineering, machining and
manufacturing resources located in the same facility. These resources contribute
to our rapid design and manufacture of specialized components and development of
prototype systems and improvements.

Our research and development efforts have led to a number of patented
efficiency and performance breakthroughs, including the development of our
multi-channel system design, our thermally isolated regenerative turbine pumping
mechanism and our proportional thermal expansion valve control.

We are developing systems, based on our modular, platform-based system
architecture, which are configured to interface with a broader range of models
and types of semiconductor manufacturing equipment sold by Applied Materials and
other OEMs. In addition, we plan to develop systems to meet recent technological
developments in the semiconductor industry. Over the long term, we may also
develop extensions of our technology for use in other related industries. We
believe that our modular system approach allows us to quickly and
cost-effectively develop new configurations and easily accommodate these
configurations into our manufacturing processes.

Our research and development expenditures were $1.3 million, $1.8 million
and $1.6 million, respectively, for fiscal 1998, 1999 and 2000. We have budgeted
research and development expenditures of approximately $1.7 million for this
fiscal year. The budgeted increase in this fiscal year primarily reflects
development of systems to interface with and support a broader range of wafer
manufacturing equipment sold by Applied Materials and other OEMs, primarily to
address the retrofit and replacement market. We expect that research and
development expenditures will remain a substantial percentage of net sales in
future years.

MANUFACTURING

We currently manufacture all of our systems at our facilities in Anaheim,
California. Our manufacturing facility is established as an assembly plant, with
flexible, continuous flow work cells. Currently, all our systems are
manufactured on the same line with segregated inventories and work cells for
each system configuration. The production time per system is under two weeks.
Our manufacturing facilities employ lean manufacturing methods to speed and
simplify assembly time and improve employee productivity. We have tripled
manufacturing capacity in the past three months and intend to double capacity
again over the next 12 months.

The majority of our system components are stock items that are purchased
from numerous suppliers. A number of our key components are manufactured based
on our design specifications and instructions.
33
<PAGE> 38

We depend on the Anafaze division of Watlow Electric Manufacturing and on ITT
Standard for two of our key components. We may use one source of supply for
other components at any given time. However, there are multiple sources
available for these other components and, although it may involve some cost to
us, we believe we can obtain the quantities for such components necessary in the
foreseeable future.

We inspect and/or test our components and systems throughout the
manufacturing process. Our engineers and final testing department personnel
develop all test procedures and design and build all test equipment and test
stations required for the testing of our systems. We fully test all of our
systems for performance to specifications and run each system for 15 to 24 hours
to insure that any early component failures are detected prior to shipment.

BACKLOG

Our backlog was $7.5 million at May 27, 2000, versus $1.2 million at
February 28, 1999, and $942,000 at February 28, 1998. All of our current backlog
at May 27, 2000 was scheduled for delivery before November 2000. Our policy is
to include in backlog only those orders for which we have accepted purchase
orders. Our orders are subject to cancellation or rescheduling by customers with
limited or no penalties. Therefore, our backlog at any particular date is not
necessarily indicative of our actual sales for any succeeding period.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

B/E Aerospace will sell to us copyrights, trademarks and know how relating
to temperature control systems for the manufacture or use of the applications
listed below, and patents and pending patent applications, including the
following:

-- patents in the United States covering our refrigeration system
design, pump mechanism and proportional thermal expansion valve;

-- a patent filed under the Patent Cooperative Treaty in the European
Patent Office covering our pump mechanism; and

-- patent applications pending in the United States covering various
temperature control and capacity regulation processes.

We are in the process of filing other patent applications relating to our
temperature control technology and plan to create additional proprietary
technologies in the future for which we will seek intellectual property
protection, in the form of patents or otherwise. Pending patent applications may
not result in the issuance of the patents. In addition, our patents might be
invalidated or circumvented, or fail to provide us with any meaningful
protection. In addition, the laws of many foreign jurisdictions do not protect
intellectual property to the same extent as the laws of the United States. We
cannot be certain that others will not independently develop substantially
equivalent technology or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets or
intellectual property, or disclose our intellectual property or trade secrets.

We intend to enter into a cross-license agreement with B/E Aerospace under
which it will grant us a perpetual, royalty-free, exclusive license to certain
future B/E Aerospace intellectual property, including patented technology,
copyrights, trade secrets and other know how, related to temperature control
systems for the manufacture or use of:

-- semiconductors or semiconductor manufacturing equipment;

-- telecommunications equipment;

-- data processing and storage equipment;

34
<PAGE> 39

-- image displays; and

-- automated testing equipment.

We have agreements with third parties, mostly as licensor, that provide for
the licensing of patented or proprietary technology, none of which are material
to us. These agreements include royalty-bearing licenses and technology
cross-licenses.

We will have a license from B/E Aerospace to use the B/E Aerospace
trademark, trade name and logo for two years in connection with our sale of
semiconductor manufacturing equipment. See "Relationships and Transactions with
Related Parties" beginning on page 47 for a further description of this
agreement.

We, our licensors, licensees, customers or suppliers may be subject to
claims of patent infringement or claims to invalidate our patents from time to
time. Any such claim could be successful and require us to pay substantial
damages or eliminate certain features from our systems or both.

COMPETITION

Our industry is highly competitive and characterized by a few large
competitors, for which the manufacture of temperature control systems is one
part of their business, and many small competitors. In addition, some large OEMs
manufacture their own temperature control systems for incorporation into the
semiconductor manufacturing equipment they supply. We believe that these OEMs
would prefer to outsource cost effective and reliable temperature control
systems from a specialized supplier. Therefore we do not expect semiconductor
equipment manufacturers to compete directly with us in the foreseeable future.
However, because of the rapid growth and change in the semiconductor industry,
OEMs or other possible competitors may compete in our industry in the future.

Our principal direct competitors are Neslab Instruments, Inc., FTS Systems,
Inc. and Edwards, a division of British Oxygen Corporation. In addition, we
compete with TAITEC Instruments USA, Inc., COSAM Inc and SMC Corporation in
international markets. Additional companies, in related businesses or otherwise,
may compete in our industry in the future.

The principal competitive factors in our industry are:

-- system reliability,

-- temperature response time,

-- facility space usage,

-- temperature control capacity, range and precision,

-- cost of ownership and efficiency of operation,

-- performance consistency at high and low temperatures,

-- sales, distribution and support capabilities and

-- financial stability and management systems quality and controls.

We believe that we compete favorably on substantially all of the above factors.
We also intend to broaden our range of system configurations and, as a result,
anticipate facing increased competition in the future.

competitors are able to devote greater resources to the development, promotion,
sale and support of their products. In addition, many of our competitors have
greater name recognition in our industry, a more extensive customer base and
broader product offerings than we do, as well as relationships with many of our
current and potential customers. These competitors can leverage their customer
relationships and broader product offerings and may cut prices to defend or gain
market share. In addition, competitors with large market capitalization or cash
reserves may be better positioned than we are to acquire companies, including
other competitors, and thereby acquire a larger market share. Any such
acquisition could harm our competitive position.

EMPLOYEES

As of August 8, 2000, we had 49 full-time employees and 18 temporary
employees. None of our employees is represented by a labor union. We consider
our employee relations to be good.

FACILITIES

Our principal executive offices and manufacturing facilities are located in
Anaheim, California, where we sublease approximately 20,000 square feet under a
lease with B/E Aerospace that expires in July 2005.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are not a party to any material legal proceedings.

CLASSIFIED BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Our bylaws provide for a board of directors consisting of six members. Our

consisting of three classes of directors, each serving staggered three-year
terms. As a result, approximately one-third of our board of directors will be
elected each year. To implement the classified structure, we recently elected
one-third of our directors to one-year terms, one-third to two-year terms and
one-third to three-year terms. Hereafter, our directors will be elected for
three-year terms. R. Bruce Thayer and Robert J. Lepofsky have been designated
Class I directors whose terms expire at the 2001 annual meeting of stockholders.
Amin C. Khoury and Roger D. Emerick have been designated Class II directors
whose terms expire at the 2002 annual meeting of the stockholders. Amin J.
Khoury and Robert J. Therrien have been designated Class III directors whose
terms expire at the 2003 annual meeting of stockholders.

BOARD COMMITTEES

The board of directors has a stock option and compensation committee and an
audit committee.

STOCK OPTION AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. The stock option and compensation
committee of the board of directors reviews and makes recommendations to the
board regarding all forms of compensation provided to our executive officers and
directors, including stock compensation. In addition, the compensation committee
reviews and makes recommendations on bonus and stock compensation arrangements
for all of our employees. As part of the foregoing, the compensation committee
also administers our employee stock purchase plan and employee stock option
plan. The current members of the compensation committee are Messrs. Emerick and
Lepofsky, with Mr. Emerick serving as the chair of the committee.

AUDIT COMMITTEE. The audit committee of the board of directors reviews and
monitors our corporate financial reporting and our internal and external audits,
including, among other things, our internal audit and control functions, the
results and scope of the annual audit and other services provided by our
independent auditors and our compliance with legal matters that have a
significant impact on our financial reports. The audit committee also consults
with our management and our independent auditors prior to the presentation of
financial statements to shareholders and, as appropriate, initiates inquiries
into aspects of our financial affairs. In addition, the audit committee
recommends the appointment of, and reviews fee arrangements with, our
independent auditors. The current members of the audit committee are Messrs.
Therrien, Lepofsky and Emerick, with Mr. Therrien serving as the chair of the
committee.

The board of directors may establish other committees to facilitate the
management of ATT.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Directors who are also employees of ATT receive no additional compensation
for serving on our board of directors. Directors who are not employees of ATT
receive compensation of $5,000 per calendar quarter, plus $5,000 per calendar
year for each committee on which they serve. Pursuant to our non-employee
directors' stock and deferred compensation plan, all non-employee directors may
elect to (i) receive all or a portion of their retainer in shares of our Class A
common stock or (ii) defer all or a portion of their retainer in cash or in

available for issuance under this plan. In addition, our non-employee directors
are entitled to participate in our directors' stock option plan, which became
effective on July 14, 2000.

39
<PAGE> 44

Under the directors' stock option plan, each non-employee director is
awarded options to purchase 5,000 shares of our Class A common stock each
January 2 commencing on January 2, 2001. In addition, each non-employee director
is awarded options to purchase 25,000 shares of our Class A common stock as of
the date of his or her first election as a director. An aggregate of 300,000
shares of our Class A common stock has been reserved for issuance pursuant to
the directors' stock option plan.

The exercise price of all options granted under the directors' stock option
plan may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of our Class A common
stock on the date of grant. Options expire 10 years after the date of grant and
become exercisable with respect to 25% of the shares on each of the first
through fourth anniversaries of the date of grant. Upon a director's termination
of service for any reason other than death, all options held by the director
that have not vested will be terminated and the vested options will remain
exercisable for three months. Upon a change in control, all options held by our
directors will vest and become exercisable.

purchase 25,000 shares of our Class A common stock at a price of $6.75: Roger D.
Emerick, Robert J. Lepofsky, Robert J. Therrien, Amin C. Khoury.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

The compensation committee of our board of directors currently consists of
Messrs. Emerick and Lepofsky. No interlocking relationship exists between any
member of our board of directors or our compensation committee and any member of
the board of directors or compensation committee of any other company, and no
such interlocking relationship has existed in the past.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The following table sets forth information with respect to compensation for
the 2000 fiscal year paid by us for services rendered by our chief executive
officer and our three other highest-paid executive officers whose total salary

(1) This reflects options to acquire shares of B/E Aerospace common stock. All
of the above stock option awards are vested over a three-year period (25%
on the date of grant and 25% on the three succeeding grant annual
anniversary dates). The exercise prices were based on the fair market value
(as determined in accordance with the B/E Aerospace stock option plans) of
the shares of B/E Aerospace common stock at the time the options were
granted. Options terminate ten years after the date of grant or three
months following termination of the optionee's employment, whichever occurs
earlier. Unvested options held by our employees will be forfeited at any
time that B/E Aerospace owns less than 50% of our voting power and vested
options will generally remain exercisable for three months.

(2) During fiscal 2000, B/E Aerospace granted to its employees options covering
2,290,200 shares of B/E Aerospace common stock.

(3) The dollar amounts under these columns are the result of calculations at
the 5% and 10% rates set by the Securities and Exchange Commission and
therefore are not intended to forecast possible future appreciation, if
any, of the stock price of B/E Aerospace. If B/E Aerospace's stock price
were in fact to appreciate at the assumed 5% or 10% annual rate for the ten
year term of these options, a $1,000 investment in B/E Aerospace common
stock would be worth $1,629 and $2,594 respectively, at the end of the
term.

(4) In consideration for his services as chairman of B/E Aerospace, Amin J.
Khoury was granted options to acquire 240,000 shares of B/E Aerospace
common stock, of which 140,000 were granted at an exercise price of $17.75
per share with an expiration date of May 27, 2009 and 100,000 were granted
at an exercise price of $8.4375 per share with an expiration date of
January 19, 2010. These options were granted to Mr. Khoury in accordance
with the terms set forth in footnote (1) above.

The following table sets forth information with respect to the named
executive officers concerning option exercises in the 2000 fiscal year and
unexercised stock options to purchase B/E Aerospace common stock held as of

value of B/E Aerospace stock at the exercise date, minus the per share exercise
price, multiplied by the number of shares exercised. The "value of unexercised

TREATMENT OF OUTSTANDING STOCK OPTIONS

Pursuant to the terms of the B/E Aerospace 1989 and 1996 stock option
plans, following the consummation of this offering, our executive officers and
other employees will be entitled to retain their options to purchase B/E
Aerospace common stock. However, if at any point in the future, B/E Aerospace
ceases to own at least 50% percent of our voting power, then the options to
purchase B/E Aerospace common stock under the 1989 and 1996 stock option plans
that have not vested will be forfeited and the vested options will remain
exercisable for three months.

agreement are substantially similar to Mr. Khoury's agreement, except that Mr.
Thayer receives a monthly automobile allowance of $800 in addition to his other

KENNETH W. COWANS. In July 2000, we entered into an employment agreement
with Mr. Cowans pursuant to which he serves as our research and development

401(K) PLAN. B/E Aerospace sponsors a tax-qualified employee savings and
retirement plan which covers our employees for so long as B/E Aerospace retains
at least a 50% ownership interest in us. Participants may make pre-tax
contributions to the 401(k) plan of up to 15% of their eligible compensation (or
12%, in the case of highly compensated employees), subject to a statutorily
prescribed annual limit, which is $10,000 in calendar year 2000. Each
participant is fully vested in his or her contributions and the investment
earnings thereon at all times. The 401(k) plan permits, but does not require,
matching contributions on behalf of participants. The 401(k) plan is intended to
qualify under Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Contributions by the participants, B/E Aerospace or us to the 401(k) plan, and
the income earned on these contributions, are generally not taxable to the
participants until withdrawn. Contributions by B/E Aerospace and us, if any,
will be deductible when made by either party. 401(k) plan assets are held in
trust. The trustee of the 401(k) plan invests the assets of the 401(k) plan in
the various investment options as directed by the participants.

INCENTIVE PLANS

EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN

Our board of directors adopted, and B/E Aerospace, our sole shareholder,
approved our employee stock option plan in July 2000. An aggregate of 1,700,000
shares of our Class A common stock has been reserved for issuance under our
employee stock option plan, subject to adjustment in certain instances.

Our employee stock option plan is administered by our compensation
committee and provides for the grant of incentive stock options and nonqualified
stock options to our employees, consultants or advisers and those of our
majority-owned subsidiaries. Directors who are also employees, consultants or
advisers are also eligible to participate in our employee stock option plan.

The exercise price of all options granted under our employee stock option
plan may not be less than 100% (110% in the case of incentive stock options
granted to individuals who own more than 10% of our Class A common stock) of the
fair market value of our Class A common stock on the date of grant. Options
generally vest as to 25% of the underlying shares on the date of grant and on
each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant. Options
expire 10 years after the date of grant (5 years in the case of incentive stock
options granted to individuals who own more than 10% of our Class A common
stock). Upon an optionee's termination of employment for any reason other than
death or disability or for cause, vested options will remain exercisable for
three months and unvested options will be forfeited. In addition, upon a change
in control, all options will accelerate and become exercisable unless the
surviving corporation agrees to assume or replace the options. Our board of
directors may amend our

44
<PAGE> 49

employee stock option plan in any manner that does not require shareholder
approval or that adversely affects the rights of an optionee.

U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX EFFECTS. Certain of the federal income tax
consequences to optionees and us of options granted under our employee stock
option plan should generally be as set forth in the following summary.

An optionee holding an incentive stock option which qualifies under Section
422 of the Internal Revenue Code will not recognize income at the time of grant
or exercise of the option. No federal income tax deduction will be allowable to
us upon the grant or exercise of the incentive stock option. However, upon the
exercise of an incentive stock option, any excess of the fair market price of
the common stock over the option price constitutes a tax preference item which
may have alternative minimum tax consequences for the optionee. If the optionee
sells such shares more than one year after the date of transfer of such shares
and more than two years after the date of grant of the incentive stock option,
the optionee will normally recognize a long-term capital gain or loss equal to
the difference, if any, between the sale prices of such shares and the option
price. If the optionee does not hold such shares for the required period, when
the optionee sells such shares, the optionee will recognize ordinary
compensation income and possibly capital gain or loss and we will generally be
entitled to a federal income tax deduction in the amount of such ordinary
compensation income.

An optionee holding a nonqualified stock option will not recognize income
at the time of grant of such option. When the optionee exercises the
nonqualified stock option, the optionee will recognize ordinary compensation
income equal to the difference, if any, between the option price paid and the
fair market value, as of the date of option exercise, of the shares the optionee
receives. The tax basis of such shares to the optionee will be equal to the
option price paid plus the amount includible in the optionee's gross income, and
the optionee's holding period for such shares will commence on the date on which
the optionee recognized taxable income in respect of such shares. We will
generally be entitled to a federal income tax deduction in respect of a
nonqualified stock option in an amount equal to the ordinary compensation income
recognized by the optionee.

GRANTS UNDER THE EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN. On July 14, 2000, we made
initial grants of stock options to our executive officers under our employee
stock option plan. An aggregate of 1,200,000 shares of common stock are issuable
upon the exercise of the options granted at an exercise price of $6.75 per
share. The following table sets forth the number of shares of our common stock
underlying options that were granted under our employee stock option plan to (i)
each of our named executive officers, (ii) our executive officers as a group and
(iii) all of our employees and consultants as a group other than our executive
officers.

EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

Our board of directors adopted, and B/E Aerospace, our sole shareholder,
approved our employee stock purchase plan in July 2000. An aggregate of 150,000
shares of our Class A common stock has been reserved for issuance under our
employee stock purchase plan, subject to adjustment in certain instances.

The employee stock purchase plan, which is intended to qualify as an
"employee stock purchase plan" within the meaning of Section 423 of the Internal
Revenue Code, provides our employees with an opportunity to purchase shares of
our Class A common stock through voluntary payroll deductions. Individuals who
have been employed by us (or any of our majority-owned subsidiaries) for at
least 90 days are generally eligible to participate in the plan if they are
customarily employed for at least 20 hours per week. The employee stock purchase
plan is administered by the compensation committee of our board of directors.

The employee stock purchase plan is implemented by consecutive 6-month
option periods, beginning on September 1 and March 1 of each year and ending on
the last day in February and August, respectively. Shares are issued on the last
day of each 6-month option period. The purchase price per share at which shares
are sold under the employee stock purchase plan is 85% of the fair market value
of our Class A common stock on (a) the date of commencement of the option period
or (b) the last day of the option period, whichever is lower. The purchase price
of the shares is accumulated by payroll deductions during the option period. The
deductions may not be less than 2% or more than 15% of a participant's
compensation.

Participants may not purchase more than $12,500 worth of Class A common
stock in any option period and $25,000 in any year. In addition, participants
will not be entitled to subscribe for shares in an option period if, upon
purchase of such shares, the participant would own 5% or more of our Class A
common stock (including stock that may be purchased under the employee stock
purchase plan or pursuant to any other options).

Our board of directors may amend or terminate the employee stock purchase
plan for any reason. However, if the board of directors elects to amend the plan
to increase the number of outstanding shares of Class A common stock available
for issuance, our shareholders must approve the amendment within twelve months.
The employee stock purchase plan will remain in effect until July 14, 2010,
unless terminated earlier by our board of directors.

RELATIONSHIPS AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

This section summarizes the key inter-company agreements that we have
entered into with B/E Aerospace which govern the relationship between us. You
should read the full text of these agreements, which are filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission as exhibits to the registration statement of
which this prospectus is a part. This section also summarizes other transactions
between us and our directors and officers. This summary is of the material terms
of these agreements and transactions.

TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT

We have entered into a transition services agreement with B/E Aerospace
under which B/E Aerospace provides us specified services, including payroll
processing and administration, human resources administration, benefits,
marketing support, informational technology and telecommunications services,
treasury management, accounting and finance assistance, sales order entry
administration and corporate administrative services. We will pay B/E Aerospace
a fee for these services on a monthly basis equal to B/E Aerospace's direct and
indirect costs, as defined in the agreements, plus 10%. The agreement terminates
on December 31, 2003. Either we or B/E Aerospace may terminate the agreement at
any time upon 180 days prior written notice to the other party. In addition, B/E
Aerospace is not obligated to provide any of these services to the extent that
its facilities or personnel are not reasonably available or if to do so would
materially interfere with the conduct of its business or results in significant
tax disadvantages. We cannot assure you that we will be able to provide these
services internally or find a third party provider on acceptable terms, or at
all.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AGREEMENTS

ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT

We intend to enter into an asset purchase agreement with B/E Aerospace
prior to the completion of this offering under which we will reimburse B/E
Aerospace for funds advanced since our inception and purchase from B/E Aerospace
copyrights, trademarks and know how relating to temperature control systems for
the manufacture or use of the applications listed under "Cross-License
Agreement" below, as well as patents and pending patent applications, including
the following:

-- patents in the United States covering our refrigeration system
design, pump mechanism and proportional thermal expansion valve;

-- a patent filed under the Patent Cooperative Treaty in the European
Patent Office covering our pump mechanism; and

-- patent applications pending in the United States covering various
temperature control and capacity regulation processes.

Under this agreement, B/E Aerospace will also grant us a license to use the
B/E Aerospace trademark, trade name and logo for two years in connection with
our sale of systems. The total amount payable under this agreement is $15
million.

CROSS-LICENSE AGREEMENT

We intend to enter into a cross-license agreement with B/E Aerospace prior
to the completion of this offering which will grant us a perpetual,
royalty-free, exclusive license to certain future B/E Aerospace intellectual
property, including patented technology, copyrights, trade secrets and other
know how, related to temperature control systems for the manufacture or use of:

-- semiconductors or semiconductor manufacturing equipment;

-- telecommunications equipment;

-- data processing and storage equipment;

-- image displays; and

-- automated testing equipment.

47
<PAGE> 52

We will grant B/E Aerospace a perpetual, royalty-free, exclusive license to
similar future intellectual property of ours outside the areas covered above.
The cross-license agreement will terminate on the later of August 1, 2017 and
such time as all the patents issued before that date have expired. We do not
currently have plans to expand our business outside of the above industries. The
cross-license agreement will permit sublicensing of the technology to
subsidiaries. Any sublicense granted by us to a subsidiary shall terminate if
the sublicensee ceases to be a subsidiary. The agreement will prohibit
assignments without written consent except in the event of a merger,
consolidation, or sale or other transfer of all or substantially all assets.

TAX ALLOCATION AGREEMENT

We have historically been included in B/E Aerospace's consolidated group
for U.S. federal income tax purposes as well as B/E Aerospace's combined or
unitary group for various state, local and foreign tax purposes. After this
offering, we will no longer be included in B/E Aerospace's U.S. federal
consolidated group, though we may continue to be included in certain of B/E
Aerospace's state, local and foreign combined or unitary groups. We will,
however, continue to be jointly and severally liable for the federal income tax
liability of each other member of the B/E Aerospace federal consolidated group
that arose during the period in which we were included in such group. See "Risk
Factors -- We may have conflicts of interest with B/E Aerospace with respect to
our past and ongoing relationship that could harm our operations." Prior to the
completion of this offering, we and B/E Aerospace will enter into a tax
allocation agreement. Under this agreement, for any periods in which we are
included in any B/E Aerospace consolidated, combined or unitary group returns,
we will be liable to B/E Aerospace for an amount of tax equal to our
hypothetical liability had we filed such returns on a separate company basis. In
addition, under the agreement, B/E Aerospace will indemnify us for any taxes of
other members of the B/E Aerospace group. The agreement also sets forth our and
B/E Aerospace's respective rights and obligations with respect to any
adjustments that result from audits and refund claims for periods in which we
are included in any B/E Aerospace consolidated, combined or unitary group
returns. B/E Aerospace's net operating loss carryforward for federal income tax
purposes as of February 26, 2000 was approximately $115.6 million.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

We have granted B/E Aerospace registration rights that require us, for so
long as B/E Aerospace or its assigns own at least 1,200,000 shares of our common
stock, to use our best efforts to register under the applicable federal and
state securities laws shares of our common stock owned by B/E Aerospace or its
assigns for sale upon its request and in accordance with its intended method of
disposition. Each such registration will be limited to a minimum of 500,000
shares. B/E Aerospace and its assigns also have the right to include the shares
of our stock beneficially owned by them in other registrations of our stock that
we initiate under the Securities Act and state securities laws. The registration
rights agreement also contains indemnification and contribution provisions under
which we and B/E Aerospace or its assigns agree to indemnify the other party and
respective related parties for specified liabilities arising from registrations
of our stock in which B/E Aerospace or its assigns participate or, if such
indemnity is unavailable, to contribute to the other party's liability.

SUBLEASE AGREEMENT

We currently sublease our principal executive offices and our manufacturing
facility from B/E Aerospace. Pursuant to the terms of a sublease agreement
entered into by us and B/E Aerospace, we are obligated to pay rent in the amount
of $25,000 per month to B/E Aerospace until the sublease agreement expires on
July 31, 2005.

OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

We intend to enter into a strategic teaming agreement with Helix Technology
Corporation. Robert J. Lepofsky, a member of our board of directors, is the
president and chief executive officer of Helix. Under this agreement, Helix will
market, sell and provide product support our systems worldwide. We have agreed
to pay Helix sales and product support commissions ranging from 3% to 10% of
sales, depending on

48
<PAGE> 53

the nature of the product and the type of customer. The term of the agreement is
three years and may be cancelled by either party within 180 days. See
"Business -- Sales, Marketing and Customer Support" beginning on page 31 for a
more detailed description of this agreement.

We believe that the transactions set forth above were made on terms no less
favorable to us than could have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties.
All future transactions, including loans between us and our officers, directors,
principal shareholders and their affiliates will be approved by a majority of
the board of directors, and will continue to be on terms no less favorable to us
than could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

49
<PAGE> 54

PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS

All of our common stock is currently owned by B/E Aerospace, and thus none
of our officers or directors owns any of our outstanding common stock, although
certain of our officers and directors have been granted options to purchase our
common stock. In addition, B/E Aerospace intends to grant options for up to
1,000,000 shares of our common stock held by it to several of its key employees.
These options are exercisable beginning five years after the date of grant,
subject to exceptions.

The following table sets forth, as of July 31, 2000 and as adjusted to
reflect the sale of the Class A common stock offered in this prospectus, the
beneficial ownership of:

-- each person who is known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of
our common stock;

-- each of our five most highly compensated executive officers;

-- each of our directors; and

-- all of our directors and executive officers as a group.

Except as otherwise indicated, we believe that the beneficial owners of the
common stock listed below, based on information furnished by such owners, have
sole voting and investment power with respect to such shares.

The percentage of beneficial ownership for the following table is based on
10,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding as of July 31, 2000 and 14,000,000
shares of common stock outstanding after the completion of this offering,
assuming no exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option. Beneficial
ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission and generally includes voting or investment power with
respect to securities. Shares of common stock subject to options exercisable
within 60 days of July 31, 2000 are deemed outstanding for purposes of computing
the percentage ownership of the person holding such option but are not deemed
outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other
person. Except where indicated, and subject to community property laws where
applicable, the persons in the table above have sole voting and investment power
with respect to all common stock shown as beneficially owned by them.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

The following description of our capital stock is intended as a summary
only and is not complete. You should read the full text of our amended and
restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws, which
are filed with the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

GENERAL

We are authorized to issue 40,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, par
value $0.01 per share, 10,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, par value
$0.01 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, par value
$0.01 per share. After this offering, there will be 4,000,000 shares of our
Class A common stock and 10,000,000 shares of Class B common stock outstanding.

COMMON STOCK

Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding preferred
stock, holders of Class A common stock are entitled to receive, share for share
with holders of Class B common stock, such dividends, if any, as may be declared
from time to time by the board of directors out of funds legally available for
that purpose. See "Dividend Policy" beginning on page 16. In the event of the
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of ATT, the holders of Class A and Class
B common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after
payment of liabilities, subject to prior distribution rights of any outstanding
preferred stock.

Except as required by Delaware law or except as otherwise provided in our
certificate of incorporation, Class A common stock and Class B common stock will
vote together as a single class on all matters presented to a vote of
shareholders, including the election of directors. The holders of Class A common
stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by the
shareholders. The Class A common stock has no preemptive or conversion rights or
other subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions
applicable to the Class A common stock. All outstanding shares of Class A common
stock are fully paid and nonassessable, and the shares of Class A common stock
to be issued upon completion of this offering will be fully paid and
nonassessable. Additionally, our certificate of incorporation requires that we
reserve and keep available out of authorized but unissued Class A common stock,
solely for effecting conversion of Class B common stock, sufficient shares to
effect conversion of all outstanding shares of Class B common stock.

The Class B common stock is identical in all respects to Class A common
stock, except with respect to voting and conversion rights. Class A common stock
and Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters
presented to a vote of shareholders, including the election of directors. Each
holder of Class B common stock is entitled to three votes for each share held of
record on the applicable record date for all of these matters. B/E Aerospace
will be the only initial holder of shares of Class B common stock.

Each share of Class B common stock will be automatically converted into one
share of Class A common stock upon the earlier of (1) December 31, 2005 and (2)
transfer of any share of Class B common stock, whether or not for value, by any
initial holder of that share, except transfers by that holder to:

-- a nominee of that holder, without any change in beneficial ownership,
within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934;

-- another person who, at the time of the transfer, beneficially owns
shares of Class B common stock or a nominee (without any change in
beneficial ownership, within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) of that person;

-- any controlled affiliate of that initial holder who remains a
controlled affiliate; or

52
<PAGE> 57

-- a parent corporation or subsidiary of that initial holder or a
subsidiary of that parent unless and until the transferee ceases to
be a parent or subsidiary of the initial holder or a subsidiary of
any parent.

Lastly, any bona fide pledge by an initial holder to a financial
institution in connection with a borrowing will not result in any conversion. In
addition, each share of Class B common stock may be converted at any time into
one share of Class A common stock at the option of the holder. The one-to-one
conversion ratio will be equitably preserved in the event of any stock dividend,
stock split or combination or merger, consolidation or other reorganization of
ATT with another corporation.

PREFERRED STOCK

Upon the closing of this offering, the board of directors will have the
authority, without further vote or action by the shareholders, to issue up to
1,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The board of directors will also have the
authority to designate the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of
each series of preferred stock, including dividend rights, dividend rates,
conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, redemption prices,
liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any series or the
designation of such series, without further vote or action by the shareholders.

The issuance of preferred stock by us may have the effect of delaying,
deferring or preventing a change of control of ATT without further action by the
shareholders. The issuance of preferred stock with voting and conversion rights
may also adversely affect the voting power of the holders of common stock. In
some circumstances, an issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of
decreasing the market price of our common stock. As of the closing of this
offering, no shares of preferred stock will be outstanding and we currently have
no plans to issue any shares of preferred stock.

ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS OF DELAWARE LAW AND OUR CHARTER DOCUMENTS

Provisions of Delaware law and our charter documents could make the
acquisition of ATT and the removal of incumbent officers and directors more
difficult. These provisions are expected to discourage coercive takeover
practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage persons seeking to
acquire control of our company to negotiate with us first. However, these
provisions could also have the effect of discouraging others from making tender
offers for our shares and, as a consequence, they may also inhibit an increase
in the market price of our shares that could result from actual or rumored
takeover attempts. Nonetheless, we believe that the benefits of increased
protection of our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an
unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure ATT outweigh the
disadvantages of discouraging such proposals because, among other things,
negotiation of such proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

Delaware Law. We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law. In general, the statute prohibits a
publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging in a "business combination"
with an "interested shareholder" for a period of three years after the date that
the person became an interested shareholder unless, subject to exceptions, the
business combination or the transaction in which the person became an interested
shareholder is approved in a prescribed manner. Generally, a "business
combination" includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction
resulting in a financial benefit to the shareholder. Generally, an "interested
shareholder" is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or
within three years prior, did own, 15% or more of the corporation's voting
stock. These provisions may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing
a change of control of ATT without further action by the shareholders.

Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. Certain provisions of our
certificate of incorporation and bylaws could discourage potential acquisition
proposals and could delay or prevent a change in control of ATT. In particular,
our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that:

-- our directors are part of a classified board of directors that
results in only approximately one-third of our directors within the
classified board being elected at each annual meeting of
shareholders;

53
<PAGE> 58

-- all shareholder actions must be effected at a duly called meeting and
not by a consent in writing;

-- directors may only be removed for cause and only by a supermajority
vote;

-- provisions of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws may only be
amended by a supermajority vote;

-- our board has the power to make, adopt, amend or repeal our bylaws,
including any bylaws adopted by our shareholders;

-- advance notice procedures apply with regard to the nomination, other
than by or at the direction of the board of directors, of candidates
for election as directors and with regard to business to be brought
before a meeting of shareholders; and

-- a special meeting of the shareholders may only be called by the chief
executive officer, the president, the chairman of the board of
directors or a majority of the board of directors.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS

Our certificate of incorporation provides that no director will be liable
to us or our shareholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty
as a director, except to the extent otherwise required by the Delaware General
Corporation Law. The effect of this provision is to eliminate our rights and the
rights of our shareholders (through shareholders' derivative suits on our
behalf) to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of a fiduciary
duty of care as a director. This provision does not limit or eliminate our
rights or the rights of any shareholder to seek non-monetary relief, such as an
injunction or rescission in the event of a breach of a director's duty of care.
In addition, our certificate of incorporation provides that, if the Delaware
General Corporation Law is amended to authorize the further elimination or
limitation of the liability of a director, then the liability of the directors
shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware
General Corporation Law, as so amended. These provisions will not alter the
liability of directors under federal or state securities laws. Our certificate
of incorporation also includes provisions for the indemnification of our
directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law.

TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR

The Transfer Agent and Registrar for the common stock is Boston EquiServe.
Boston EquiServe is located in Canton, Massachusetts 02021 and its telephone
number is (781) 575-3400.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Upon completion of this offering, we will have outstanding 4,000,000 shares
of Class A common stock and 10,000,000 shares of Class B common stock. Of these
outstanding shares, 4,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, or 4,600,000
shares if the underwriters exercise their overallotment option in full, will be
freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act, except for shares
purchased by our "affiliates," as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the
Securities Act. Any shares purchased by our affiliates generally may be sold in
compliance with Rule 144 as described below.

The shares of our common stock held by B/E Aerospace after this offering
are "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144. The shares held by
B/E Aerospace will be subject to contractual restrictions on resale based on the
lock-up agreements described below. Further, since the shares held by B/E
Aerospace are restricted securities, B/E Aerospace may not sell them unless they
are registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is
available.

We, B/E Aerospace and each of our officers and directors have entered into
lock-up agreements or other contractual restrictions generally providing that
the shareholder will not offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of
any shares of our common stock for a period of 180 days, or 365 days in the case
of B/E Aerospace (other than in a permitted underwritten public offering),
without the prior written consent of Needham & Company, Inc. As a result of
these lock-up agreements and other contractual restrictions, notwithstanding
possible earlier eligibility for sale under the provisions of Rule 144, none of
these shares will be able to be sold until 181 days, or 366 days in the case of
shares held by B/E Aerospace (other than shares sold in a permitted underwritten
public offering), after the date of this prospectus. Needham & Company, Inc.
may, in its sole discretion and at any time without notice, release any portion
of the securities subject to lock-up agreements or other contractual
restrictions.

In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, beginning 90 days after
the date of this prospectus, a person who has beneficially owned restricted
shares for at least one year, including the holding period of any prior owner
except one of our affiliates, would be entitled to sell within any three-month
period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:

-- 1% of the number of shares of our Class A common stock then
outstanding, which will equal approximately 40,000 shares immediately
after this offering; or

-- the average weekly trading volume of our Class A common stock during
the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a Form 144 in
connection with the sale.

Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to manner of sale provisions and
notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about
us. Under Rule 144(k), a person who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of
ours at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has
beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least two years,
including the holding period of any prior owner except an affiliate, is entitled
to sell such shares without complying with the manner of sale, public
information, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144.

Following the effectiveness of this offering, we will file a registration
statement on Form S-8 to register shares of our Class A common stock subject to
outstanding options or reserved for future issuance under our stock plans.
Currently there are options to purchase approximately 1,300,000 shares of our
Class A common stock outstanding and approximately 900,000 shares of our Class A
common stock are reserved for future issuance under our employee stock option
plan, employee stock purchase plan and directors' plan. The Class A common stock
issued upon exercise of outstanding vested options, other than Class A common
stock issued to our affiliates, will be available for immediate resale in the
open market.

B/E Aerospace will be entitled to certain registration rights. See
"Relationships and Transactions with Related Parties" on page 47 for more
information on these rights. Registration of such shares under the Securities
Act would result in such shares becoming freely tradable without restriction,
except for shares purchased by affiliates, upon the effectiveness of such
registration.

UNDERWRITING

We and B/E Aerospace have entered into an underwriting agreement with the
underwriters named below. Needham & Company, Inc., A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc.,
and First Security Van Kasper are acting as representatives of the underwriters.
The underwriters' obligations are several, which means that each underwriter is
required to purchase a specific number of shares, but is not responsible for the
commitment of any other underwriter to purchase shares. Subject to the terms and
conditions of the underwriting agreement, each underwriter has severally agreed
to purchase from us the number of shares of Class A common stock set forth
opposite its name below.

The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the
underwriters are subject to specified conditions precedent and that the
underwriters will purchase all shares of common stock offered hereby if any of
those shares are purchased.

The representatives have advised us that the underwriters propose to offer
the shares of Class A common stock to the public at the public offering price
per share set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. The underwriters may
offer shares to securities dealers, who may include the underwriters, at that
public offering price less a concession of up to $ per share. The
underwriters may allow, and those dealers may reallow, a concession to other
securities dealers of up to $ per share. After the offering to the public,
the offering price and other selling terms may be changed by the
representatives.

B/E Aerospace has granted an option to the underwriters to purchase up to
600,000 additional shares of Class B common stock, which will automatically
convert to an equal number of shares of Class A common stock, at the public
offering price per share, less the underwriting discounts and commissions, set
forth on the cover page of this prospectus. This option is exercisable during
the 30-day period after the date of this prospectus. The underwriters may
exercise this option only to cover over-allotments made in connection with this
offering. If this option is exercised, each of the underwriters will purchase
approximately the same percentage of the additional shares as the number of
shares of Class A common stock to be purchased by that underwriter, as shown in
the table above, bears to the total shown.

The following table shows the per share and total underwriting discount to
be paid to the underwriters by us and B/E Aerospace. These amounts are shown
assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters' option to
purchase additional shares.

The underwriting agreement provides that we and B/E Aerospace will
indemnify the underwriters against liabilities under the Securities Act that may
be incurred in connection with this offering or contribute to payments that the
underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof.

We have agreed not to offer, sell, contract to sell, grant options to
purchase, or otherwise dispose of any shares of our common stock or securities
exchangeable for a convertible into our common stock for a

period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus without the prior written
consent of Needham & Company, Inc. This agreement does not apply to:

-- any issuances of shares of Class A common stock upon the exercise of
outstanding options;

-- any grants under any existing employee benefit plans;

-- the exchange of shares of Class B common stock for shares of Class A
common stock under the terms of our certificate of incorporation; and

-- the issuance of common stock in connection with any acquisition of or
merger with another company or the acquisition of assets, provided
that each recipient of common stock agrees to the same lock-up
restrictions.

B/E Aerospace has agreed not to, directly or indirectly, sell, hedge, or
otherwise dispose of any shares of common stock, options to acquire shares of
common stock or securities exchangeable for or convertible into shares of common
stock, for a period of 365 days after the date of this prospectus without the
prior written consent of Needham & Company, Inc. This agreement does not apply
to:

-- an underwritten public offering after the period ending 180 days from
the date of this prospectus,

-- the exchange of shares of Class B common stock for shares of Class A
common stock;

-- the issuance of options to its employees to purchase an aggregate of
up to 1,000,000 shares of our common stock held by B/E Aerospace; or

-- transactions relating to shares of common stock or other securities
acquired in the open market after the completion of this offering.

Our directors and officers have agreed not to, directly or indirectly,
sell, hedge, or otherwise dispose of any shares of common stock, options to
acquire shares of common stock or securities exchangeable for or convertible
into shares of common stock, for a period of 180 days after the date of this
prospectus without the prior written consent of Needham & Company, Inc. This
agreement does not apply to transactions relating to shares of common stock or
other securities acquired in the open market after the completion of this
offering.

Needham & Company, Inc. may, in its sole discretion and at any time without
notice, release all or any portion of the securities subject to these lock-up
agreements. See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale" beginning on page 55.

The representatives have informed us that they do not expect sales by the
underwriters to discretionary accounts to exceed 5% of the number of shares
offered.

In connection with this offering, the underwriters may engage in
transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect our price of the Class
A common stock. Specifically, the underwriters may over-allot in connection with
this offering by selling more shares than are set forth on the cover page of
this prospectus. This creates a short position in our Class A common stock for
their own account. "Covered" short sales are sales made in an amount not greater
than the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares from us in the
offering. The underwriters may close out any covered short position by either
exercising their option to purchase additional shares or purchasing shares in
the open market. In determining the source of shares to close out the covered
short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of
shares available for purchase in the open market as compared with the price at
which they may purchase shares through the overallotment option. "Naked" short
sales are any sales in excess of such option. The underwriters must close out
any naked short position by purchasing shares in the open market. A naked short
position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that
there may be downward pressure on the price of the Class A common stock in the
open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in
the offering. To stabilize the price of our Class A common stock, the
underwriters may bid for, and purchase, our Class A common stock in the open
market prior to the completion of the offering.

57
<PAGE> 62

The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a
particular underwriter or dealer repays selling concessions allowed to it for
distributing our Class A common stock in this offering because the underwriters
repurchase that stock in stabilizing or short covering transactions.

Finally, the underwriters may bid for, and purchase, shares of our Class A
common stock in market making transactions.

These activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of our Class A
common stock at a price that is higher than the price that might otherwise exist
in the absence of these activities. The underwriters are not required to engage
in these activities, and may discontinue any of these activities at any time
without notice. These transactions may be effected on the Nasdaq National
Market, or otherwise.

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our Class A
common stock. Consequently, the initial public offering price will be determined
by negotiations among us and the representatives. Among the factors to be
considered in these negotiations are:

-- our history and prospects and the history and prospect of the
industry in which we compete;

-- an assessment of our management;

-- our past and present operations;

-- our past and present financial performance;

-- our prospects for future income;

-- our present state of development;

-- the general condition of the securities markets at the time of the
offering; and

-- the market prices of and demand for publicly traded common stock of
comparable companies in recent periods.

A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the web sites
maintained by one or more of the underwriters participating in this offering.
The representatives may agree to allocate a number of shares to underwriters for
sale to their online brokerage account holders. Internet distributions will be
allocated by the underwriters that will make internet distributions on the same
basis as other allocations.

LEGAL MATTERS

The validity of the Class A common stock offered hereby will be passed upon
for us by Shearman & Sterling, New York, New York. Certain legal matters in
connection with this offering will be passed upon for the underwriters by Heller
Ehrman White & McAuliffe LLP, San Francisco, California.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Advanced Thermal Technologies, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Advanced Thermal
Technologies, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of BE Aerospace, Inc.) ("ATT") as
of February 26, 2000 and February 27, 1999, and the related statements of
operations, shareholder's deficit, and cash flows for each of the three fiscal
years in the period ended February 26, 2000. These financial statements are the
responsibility of ATT's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. 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, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Advanced Thermal Technologies, Inc. as of
February 26, 2000 and February 27, 1999, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended February
26, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.

NOTE 1 -- NATURE OF THE BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF THE BUSINESS

Advanced Thermal Technologies, Inc. ("ATT"), a wholly owned subsidiary of
BE Aerospace, Inc. ("B/E Aerospace"), commenced operations on February 23, 1997
and was incorporated on December 12, 1997. ATT designs, develops, manufactures,
sells and services highly reliable, compact temperature control systems for use
in semiconductor wafer manufacturing. ATT has adopted a year end which ends on
the last Saturday in February.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying financial statements represent the accounts of ATT, a
wholly owned subsidiary of B/E Aerospace, in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Operating
expenses include allocations of general corporate overhead expenses related to
B/E Aerospace's corporate headquarters and common support activities, including
payroll administration, worker's compensation and general liability insurance,
accounting and finance, legal, tax and human resources. These costs amounted to
$52, $84, $151, $38 (unaudited) and $45 (unaudited) for the years ended February
28, 1998, February 27, 1999 and February 26, 2000 and the three months ended May
29, 1999 and May 27, 2000, respectively, and have been allocated to ATT using
methodologies based upon headcount, actual usage or total assets, as applicable.
Although ATT believes the allocations are reasonable, the costs of these
services to ATT may not be indicative of the costs that would have been incurred
if ATT had been a stand-alone entity. ATT has entered into a Transition Services
Agreement with B/E Aerospace, pursuant to which B/E Aerospace will continue to
provide certain services to ATT through December 31, 2003, unless sooner
terminated by either party upon 180 days advance notice. In addition, B/E
Aerospace has agreed to continue to fund the operations of ATT until
consummation of the Offering. See Note 4.

In July 2000 the Board of Directors authorized a number of changes to ATT's
capital structure. These changes increased the number of authorized common
shares to 50,000,000 from 3,000, authorized 1,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value
preferred stock and effected a 10,000-for-one stock split of the common stock.
The stock split has been given retroactive recognition in all periods in the
accompanying financial statements.

UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The balance sheet, statements of operations, shareholder's deficit and cash
flows and related footnote information as of May 27, 2000 and for the three
months ended May 29, 1999 and May 27, 2000 are unaudited.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of only normal
recurring items, which are necessary for a fair presentation, have been included
in such unaudited interim financial information. The results for interim periods
are not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected for any other
interim period or for the full year and may not necessarily reflect the results
of ATT in the future or what they would have been had ATT been a separate,
stand-alone entity during the periods presented.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

USE OF ESTIMATES -- The preparation of the financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make estimates and

F-7
<PAGE> 71
ADVANCED THERMAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

REVENUE RECOGNITION -- ATT generally recognizes revenue from equipment
sales upon shipment. No revenue is recognized on products shipped on a trial
basis until the trial period is completed and the equipment is accepted by the
customer. ATT's products generally carry a 12-36 month warranty from the date of
shipment or installation. Estimated sales returns and warranty costs are accrued
at the time the related revenue is recognized. Customers may contract for
support services over and above that provided by ATT's warranty period. Revenue
from such contracts and from extended warranty contracts are recognized ratably
over the service period. ATT is not responsible for the installation of its
products.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT -- Purchased property and equipment is carried at
cost and depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives (generally 5-7
years) of the related assets on the straight-line basis. Leasehold improvements
are depreciated over the lesser of the lease term or the estimated useful life
of the improvement.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS -- ATT accounts for the impairment and disposition of
long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of. In accordance
with SFAS No. 121, long-lived assets are reviewed for events or changes in
circumstances that indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. At
May 27, 2000, management determined that no such impairment existed.

DUE TO B/E AEROSPACE, INC. -- Due to B/E Aerospace, Inc. includes amounts
payable to B/E Aerospace primarily for operations and working capital
requirements, offset by cash collected by ATT and remitted to B/E Aerospace. As
more fully described in Notes 1 and 4, other transactions reflected in the
payable balance include administrative expenses incurred by B/E Aerospace on
behalf of ATT. Such amounts payable do not have specific repayment terms.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT -- Research and development costs, other than
software development costs, are expensed as incurred. Software development costs
are capitalized following attainment of technological feasibility, however no
development costs which qualify for capitalization were incurred during any of
the periods presented.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION -- Compensation expense associated with awards of
stock options to employees is measured using the intrinsic value method
described in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25.

INCOME TAXES -- Historically, ATT's results have been included in B/E
Aerospace's consolidated federal and state income tax returns. The income tax
provision is calculated as if ATT had filed separate tax returns as an
independent company. In accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109), deferred tax assets
and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting
and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax
rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are
expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to
reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME -- There was no difference between ATT's net
income/(loss) and its total comprehensive earnings/(loss) for any of the periods
presented.

EARNINGS/(LOSS) PER SHARE -- Basic income (loss) per common share is
determined by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted income
(loss) per share is determined by dividing income (loss) available to

F-8
<PAGE> 72
ADVANCED THERMAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive
common stock equivalents outstanding.

SEGMENT INFORMATION -- ATT currently operates in one business segment:
designing, developing and marketing temperature control systems for the
semiconductor, electronics and related industries.

CONCENTRATION OF RISK -- To date, ATT's activities have been conducted
primarily in the United States of America. ATT performs ongoing credit
evaluations of its customers and generally requires no collateral. At May 27,
2000, the entire receivable balance was due from one customer. Additionally,
substantially all of ATT's sales for all fiscal years and all interim periods
presented were to one customer. The loss of this customer would have a material
adverse effect on ATT's financial condition and results of operations.

ATT relies on single source suppliers for several of its components. As a
result, should these suppliers not produce and deliver inventory needed for ATT
to produce its products on a timely basis, operating results could be adversely
impacted.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT -- In June 1998, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities (as amended by SFAS No. 137), which ATT is required to adopt
effective in its fiscal year 2001. SFAS No. 133, as amended, will require ATT to
record all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. ATT does not
currently engage in hedging activities and will continue to evaluate the effect
of adopting SFAS No. 133. ATT will adopt SFAS No. 133 in its fiscal year 2001.

In December 1999, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No.
101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements. SAB No. 101 summarizes the SEC
staff's views in applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue
recognition in financial statements. ATT does not expect its implementation will
have an effect on its revenue recognition policy.

NOTE 2 -- INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined
using the weighted average cost method. Finished goods and work-in-progress
include material, labor and manufacturing costs. Inventories consist of the

allowances. At May 27, 2000, no net operating loss or research and development

NOTE 6 -- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Pursuant to an amendment to ATT's Articles of Incorporation effective July
14, 2000 ATT is authorized to issue 40,000,000 shares of Class A common stock,
10,000,000 shares of Class B common stock and 1,000,000 shares of undesignated
preferred stock. At May 27, 2000, 10,000,000 shares of Class B common stock were
outstanding.

The Class B common stock is identical in all respects to Class A common
stock, except with respect to voting and conversion rights. Each share of Class
A and B common stock are entitled to one and three, respectively, votes per
share on matters presented to a vote of shareholders. Each share of Class B
common stock will be automatically converted into one share of Class A common
stock upon the earlier of December 31, 2005 or upon the occurrence of certain
events, primarily relating to the transfer of any shares of Class B common stock
by the initial holder (B/E Aerospace) to a third party, as defined in the
Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation.

On July 14, 2000, ATT's Board of Directors adopted an employee stock option
plan and a directors' stock option plan (the "2000 Stock Plans"), which allow
ATT to grant both incentive stock options and non-qualified options to key
employees and outside directors. The 2000 Stock Plans allow for the granting of
options to purchase ATT's common stock at fair market value. The stock options
are generally granted with vesting periods of three years and have an expiration
date of ten years from the date of grant. Under the 2000 Stock Plans, an
aggregate 2,000,000 shares have been reserved for issuance.

Initial grants under the 2000 Stock Plans are summarized as follows:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
NUMBER OF EXERCISE
SHARES PRICE
--------- --------
<S> <C> <C>
Granted, July 14, 2000...................................... 1,300,000 $6.75
</TABLE>

On July 14, 2000, ATT established a qualified Employee Stock Purchase Plan,
the terms of which allow for qualified employees (as defined) to participate in
the purchase of up to a total of 150,000 shares of ATT's common stock at a price
equal to the lower of 85% of the closing price at the beginning or end of each
semi-annual stock purchase period.

During July 2000, ATT and B/E entered into a Transition Services Agreement
(the "Agreement") which outlines certain services that will continue to be
performed on behalf of ATT by B/E through December 31, 2003, unless sooner
terminated by either party with 180 days advance notice. The services called for
in the Agreement include payroll processing and administration, human resources
administration, benefits, marketing support, informational technology and
telecommunications services, treasury management, accounting and finance
assistance, sales order entry administration and corporate administrative
services. B/E has, and will allocate costs to ATT for payroll processing and
administration, human resources administration, benefits and information
technology services on a specific identification or usage basis. All other costs
have been and will be allocated on the basis of the total assets (net of cash
and cash equivalents) of ATT to the total assets (net cash and cash equivalents)
of B/E.

During July and August of 2000, ATT entered into employment agreements with
various corporate officers which specify minimum annual aggregate payments of
$843 in each of the next three fiscal years, respectively.

On August 14, 2000, ATT's Board of Directors approved the filing of a
registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to sell
4,000,000 shares of its common stock in an initial public offering.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to
award, or a corporation's board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors
and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under
certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses
incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933. Article VIII of our Amended
and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (Exhibit 3.1 hereto) and Article 8.1
of our Amended and Restated Bylaws (Exhibit 3.2 hereto) provide for
indemnification of our directors, officers, employees and other agents to the
maximum extent permitted by Delaware law. The Underwriting Agreement (Exhibit
1.1 hereto) also provides for cross-indemnification among ATT and B/E Aerospace,
on the one hand, and the underwriters, on the other hand, with respect to
matters arising under the Securities Act.

ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

In connection with our incorporation in December 1997, we issued 1,000
shares of our common stock to B/E Aerospace, our parent company, in
consideration for contributions to our business. The share amount issued to B/E
Aerospace does not reflect the ten thousand-for-one split of our common stock
effected in July 2000. The issuance of these securities was deemed to be exempt
from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance upon Section 4(2)
of the Act as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering. On
July 14, 2000 we issued options to purchase 1,200,000 shares of our common stock
at an exercise price of $6.75 per share to eight of our employees and options to
purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $6.75 per
share to four of our non-employee directors. The issuance of these securities
was deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance
upon Rule 701 promulgated under Section 3(b) of the Securities Act for
transactions pursuant to compensation benefit plans and contracts relating to
compensation. The recipients of securities in each of these transactions
represented their intentions to acquire the securities for investment only and
not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof and
appropriate legends were affixed to the share certificates issued in these
transactions. All recipients had adequate access, through their relationships
with us, to information about us.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters
at the closing specified in the underwriting agreements certificates in such
denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to
permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act
of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part
of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in
a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or
(4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this
registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of
prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
