                              AETRIUM INCORPORATED

              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND RESTATEMENT

      In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited restated
      consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary to
      present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and changes
      in cash flows for the interim periods presented.

      Certain footnote information has been condensed or omitted from these
      financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read
      in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying
      footnotes included in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997.

      On April 1, 1998, the company acquired substantially all of the assets and
      assumed certain liabilities of the Equipment Division ("Equipment
      Division") of WEB Technology, Inc. (see Note 4). The acquisition was
      recorded using the purchase method and, as required, the purchase price
      was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In
      connection therewith, the company hired an independent third party
      appraisal firm to value the intangible assets acquired, including
      in-process research and development ("IPR&D"). The estimated fair values
      of the intangible assets were determined using appraisal and valuation
      methods commonly used and considered appropriate at the time. Recently the
      Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") has published its views
      regarding methods used to value intangible assets, including specific
      guidelines it feels should be used in determining the value of IPR&D.

      Recently, the company re-engaged the appraisal firm to review the
      valuation of the WEB intangible assets in light of the new SEC guidance.
      The revaluation of the WEB intangible assets resulted in a reduction of
      the value of IPR&D and a corresponding net increase in capitalized
      goodwill and other intangibles such as developed technology, core
      technology, customer lists, and assembled workforce.

      The impact of the revaluation on the company's financial statements was to
      reduce the amount of IPR&D expense (included in "Non-recurring Charges")
      for the quarter and to increase "Selling, General, and Administrative"
      expenses for the additional amortization expense related to the
      capitalized intangible assets as follows (thousands, except per share
      amounts):

3.   NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

     Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the
     weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
     Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the
     weighted-average number of common shares and common stock equivalent shares
     outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents include stock
     options using the treasury stock method. Since the company reported net
     losses for the interim periods presented herein, common stock equivalents
     have been excluded from the computations because they are antidilutive.

4.   ACQUISITIONS

     On April 1, 1998, the company acquired substantially all of the assets and
     assumed certain liabilities of the Equipment Division ("Equipment
     Division") of WEB Technology, Inc., a privately-held company that consisted
     of several business units in addition to the Equipment Division. The
     Equipment Division specializes in the design, development, manufacturing
     and marketing of a variety of electromechanical equipment used by the
     semiconductor industry to handle and test integrated circuits. The purchase
     price totaled $23,567,500 consisting of $7,835,000 in cash, 900,000 shares
     of Aetrium common stock valued at $15,412,500 and $320,000 of
     acquisition-related costs. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase.
     The company's consolidated financial statements include the results of the
     Equipment Division's operations since April 1, 1998.

4.   ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED)

     On April 1, 1997, the company acquired substantially all of the assets and
     assumed certain liabilities of Forward Systems Automation, Inc. ("FSA"), a
     privately held manufacturer of equipment for the semiconductor and
     electronic component industries. The purchase price totaled $9,132,869
     consisting of $4,000,000 of cash, 186,000 shares of Aetrium common stock
     valued at $2,499,840, $250,000 of acquisition-related costs and $2,383,029
     of assumed liabilities. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase.
     The company's consolidated financial statements include the results of
     FSA's operations since April 1, 1997.

     For each acquisition, a portion of the purchase price, as determined by
     third party appraisal, was allocated to intangible assets, including
     in-process research and development that had not reached technological
     feasibility and did not have alternative future uses. As required by
     generally accepted accounting principles, the values of the in-process
     research and development ($3,900,000 for the Equipment Division and
     $7,190,809 for FSA) were charged to operations in the second quarter of
     1998 and 1997, respectively. These amounts are included in the caption
     "Non-recurring charges" in the accompanying Statements of Operations.

     The following table presents the consolidated results of operations of the
     company on an unaudited pro forma basis as if the acquisitions of the
     Equipment Division and FSA had taken place at the beginning of each period
     (in thousands, except per share data):

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
        AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

            NET SALES. Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1998, were
            $36.6 million, an increase of 36 percent from the same period of
            1997. The 1998 results include the net sales of FSA (acquired in
            April 1997), the Advantek Handler Division (acquired in October
            1997), and the equipment business of WEB Technology (acquired in
            April 1998). Net sales were $16.1 million for the quarter ended June
            30, 1998, compared with $14.9 million for the comparable 1997
            quarter, an 8% increase. The increase is primarily attributable to
            the inclusion of the net sales of the acquired operations.

            GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit was 38.9 % of net sales for the six
            months ended June 30, 1998, including an inventory charge of $3.7
            million related primarily to the suspension of marketing efforts on
            certain older, less profitable products. Excluding the one-time
            charge, gross profit was 49 % of net sales, compared with 51.2 % for
            the same period of 1997. Gross profit was 24.6 % of net sales for
            the quarter ended June 30, 1998, including the unusual $3.7 million
            charge, and 47.5 % excluding the unusual charge. This compares with
            51.1 % for the quarter ended June 30, 1997. Excluding the one-time
            charge of $3.7 million, the decrease in the gross margin in 1998 is
            primarily attributable to the inclusion of sales of the product line
            acquired from Advantek; the significant increase in the sales mix to
            more pick-and-place test handlers which tend to have lower margins
            than gravity-feed test handlers; and the costs associated with the
            production ramp of new products. These factors are partially offset
            by improving gross margins on environmental test products and the
            inclusion of relatively high-margin sales of the product line
            recently acquired from WEB Technology.

            SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, general and
            administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1998 were
            $9.8 million compared with $6.1 million for the comparable period in
            1997, a 61% increase. Selling, general and administrative expenses
            for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 were $5.5 million compared with
            $3.2 million for the comparable period in 1997, a 70% increase. The
            increase in 1998 is attributable to higher commissions expense on
            increased net sales, higher amortization expense related to acquired
            intangibles and the inclusion of expenses to support recently
            acquired businesses.

            RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development expenses were
            $6.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 compared with
            $4.5 million for the comparable period in 1997, a 44% increase.
            Research and development expenses were $3.5 million for the quarter
            ended June 30, 1998 compared with $2.5 million for the comparable
            period in 1997, a 40% increase. The increase in 1998 is attributable
            to the inclusion of expenses for continued development of the
            product lines acquired in 1997 and 1998, including expenditures
            required to complete the research and development projects that were
            in process at the time of each acquisition. Research and development
            expenses represented 21.9% of net sales for the quarter ended June
            30, 1998.

            NON-RECURRING CHARGES. The company incurred non-recurring charges of
            $6.5 million in the quarter ended June 30, 1998. Of this amount,
            $3.9 million was related to the acquisition of the Equipment
            Division of WEB Technology, for that portion of the purchase price
            allocated to research and development projects that were in process
            at the time of acquisition but had not yet reached technological
            feasibility. The balance of the non-recurring charges during the
            quarter were for severance costs resulting from a reduction in work
            force and the write-off of certain capitalized technology. In
            connection with the FSA acquisition, $7.2 million related to
            in-process research and development was charged against income in
            the second quarter ended June 30, 1997 as the underlying research
            and development projects had not yet reached technological
            feasibility. See Note 4 to the unaudited consolidated financial
            statements.

            OTHER INCOME, NET. Other income, net, which consists primarily of
            interest income from the investment of excess funds, amounted to
            $519,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 which was a decline
            from the $615,000 for the same period in 1997 due to lower average
            levels of invested funds. Other income, net, amounted to $214,000
            for the quarter ended June 30, 1998, compared to $303,000 for the
            same period of 1997. The decline reflects the decrease in invested
            funds due to the cash outlay of $7.8 million for the acquisition of
            the equipment business of WEB Technology.

            INCOME TAX EXPENSE (BENEFIT). Income tax expense (benefit) was
            provided for at an effective rate of 28.0% for the quarter and six
            months ended June 30, 1998 which was comparable to the rate used for
            fiscal year 1997 excluding the impact of non-recurring
            acquisition-related charges. The effective tax rate compares
            favorably with the Federal and state statutory rates primarily due
            to benefits associated with the company's Foreign Sales Corporation
            and research tax credits as well as the implementation of various
            tax planning strategies, including the investment of excess funds in
            tax exempt instruments.

        FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

            The company has a $5.0 million line of credit agreement with Harris
            Trust and Savings Bank in Chicago, Illinois. Borrowings under this
            agreement are secured by receivables, inventories and general
            intangibles. Borrowing is limited to a percentage of eligible
            receivables and inventories. There were no line of credit advances
            outstanding as of June 30, 1998 or December 31, 1997.

            In the quarter ended June 30, 1998, the company disbursed
            approximately $7.8 million in connection with the acquisition of the
            equipment business of WEB Technology, Inc. The company believes its
            remaining cash balances of approximately $19.3 million as of June
            30, 1998, funds generated from operations, and borrowings available
            under its credit facility will be sufficient to meet capital
            expenditure and working capital needs for at least 24 months. The
            company may acquire other companies, product lines or technologies
            that are complementary to the company's business, and the company's
            working capital needs may change as a result of such acquisitions.

        BUSINESS RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

            A number of risks and uncertainties exist which could impact the
            company's future operating results. These uncertainties include, but
            are not limited to, general economic conditions, competition,
            changes in rates of capital spending by semiconductor manufacturers,
            the company's success in developing new products and technologies,
            market acceptance of new products, risks and unanticipated costs
            associated with integrating acquired businesses, and other factors,
            including those set forth in the company's SEC filings, including
            its current report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
            1997.

        YEAR 2000 ISSUES

            Many existing computer programs use only two digits to identify a
            year in the date field, with the result that data referring to the
            year 2000 and subsequent years may be misinterpreted by these
            programs. If present in the computer applications of the company or
            its suppliers and not corrected, this problem may cause computer
            applications to fail or to create erroneous results and could cause
            a disruption in operations and have an adverse effect on the
            company's business and results of operations. The company has
            evaluated its principal computer systems and has determined that
            they are substantially Year 2000 compliant. The company has
            completed a series of tests of the electronics systems of its
            products, including those product lines no longer being manufactured
            but remaining in use at customer sites, and has determined that they
            should continue to operate according to specification after January
            1, 2000. The company has initiated discussions with its key
            suppliers to determine whether they have any Year 2000 issues. The
            company has not incurred any material expenses to date in connection
            with this evaluation, and does not anticipate material expenses in
            the future, depending upon the status of its suppliers with respect
            to this issue.

                (b)  Reports on Form 8-K

                        On April 15, 1998, the company filed a Form 8-K relating
                        to the purchase of substantially all of the assets of
                        the Equipment Division ( "Equipment Division") of WEB
                        Technology, Inc. on April 1, 1998 pursuant to an Asset
                        Purchase Agreement which was executed on March 20, 1998.
                        On June 15, 1998, the company filed an amendment to the
