          AEHR TEST SYSTEMS ANNOUNCES EXPENSE REDUCTION ACTIONS

Fremont, CA (February 12, 2009) - Aehr Test Systems (Nasdaq: AEHR), a leading
supplier of semiconductor test and burn-in equipment, today announced that
it has taken a series of actions designed to substantially reduce the
Company's operating expenses.  The restructuring actions include a reduction
in total headcount of nearly 20%, reductions in compensation for salaried
employees and a shutdown for one week each quarter.  The cumulative effect
of these and other actions is expected to reduce total operating expenses
by 20% starting in the quarter ended May 31, 2009.

"The expense reduction actions announced today are a painful but necessary
measure in light of the current economic slowdown and the negative outlook
for capital expenditures in the semiconductor industry," said Rhea Posedel,
chairman and chief executive officer of Aehr Test Systems.  "The reduced
cost structure resulting from these actions will help us to maximize our
cash position, while also enabling the Company to continue investing in the
product development and marketing initiatives that will position us to
expand our customer base and grow market share as economic and industry
conditions improve."
