Aehr Test Systems (Registrant) Date: February 7, 2002 By: /S/ GARY L. LARSON ------------------------- Gary L. Larson Vice President of Finance and Chief Financial Officer EXHIBIT INDEX Exhibit Number - ------- 20 Letter to Shareholders. EX-20 3 q202-e8k2.txt LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS To Our Shareholders: We would like to share with you the financial results and some highlights from our second fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2001. Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2002 were $2.8 million, a decrease of 68 percent from net sales of $9.0 million in the same quarter of the prior year. Net loss for the quarter was $774,000, or $0.11 per share, compared with a net income of $280,000, or $0.04 per share, in the same quarter a year ago. For the six months ended November 30, 2001, net sales were $5.6 million, a decrease of 68 percent from net sales of $17.7 million for the same period in the prior year. Net loss for the six months ended November 30, 2001 was $1.4 million, or $0.20 per share. Net loss for the same period of the prior year was $1.2 million, or $0.17 per share, which included a charge of $1.6 million for the cumulative effect of applying SAB 101 for revenue recognition. The income for the six months ended November 30, 2000 before that charge was $444,000, or $0.06 per share. As of November 30, 2001, we had no outstanding debt, our cash and short-term investments totaled $12.2 million, working capital was $27.5 million and book value per share was $4.70. Because of the continued downturn in the semiconductor equipment industry, we experienced another quarter of low net sales. However, we are pleased to see that the level of customer quote activities has started to pick up. We are also encouraged by the strengthening of our business in Taiwan, which is evidenced by recent repeat orders for several MTX parallel test systems received from a major DRAM production facility. In order to control spending and maintain our competitiveness, we have continued to drive our cost reduction programs, while maintaining our research and development projects. The FOX full wafer contact system continues to be a major part of our growth strategy, as it is designed to provide cost effective test solutions for the latest technology integrated circuits. In view of our recently received MTX system orders, we anticipate that for our third fiscal quarter net sales will increase and gross margin will decrease, compared with those of the quarter just reported. Overall, we believe that we have passed beyond our low point in net sales for this semiconductor downturn. Your continued support during these difficult times has been greatly appreciated by everyone at Aehr Test. /S/ RHEA POSEDEL Rhea Posedel CEO and Chairman /S/ C.J. MEURELL C.J.

"Safe Harbor" Statement: This letter contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties relating to projections regarding industry growth and customer demand for the Company's products. Actual results may vary from projected results. These risks and uncertainties include economic conditions in Asia, particularly in Taiwan, and elsewhere, a continued slowdown in the semiconductor industry, world events, acceptance by customers of the FOX, MTX, MAX and DiePak technologies, the Company's development and manufacture of a commercially successful wafer-level burn-in system, a downturn in customer quote activity levels, the ability of the Company to turn customer quotes into sales, the Company's ability to control spending and maintain research and development projects, the Company's ability to increase net sales and the potential emergence of alternative technologies, which could adversely affect demand for the Company's products in calendar year 2002. See the Company's 10-K and most recent 10-Q filed with the SEC for additional risks affecting the Company. -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
