Net sales were $1.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010, compared with $9.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Aehr Test reported a net loss of $2.2 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2010, compared with net income of $0.9 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Commenting on the second quarter results, Rhea Posedel, chairman and chief executive officer of Aehr Test Systems said, "Similar to recent quarters, our business continued to be impacted by the challenging global macroeconomic climate and lower-than-normal levels of capital spending by our customers in the semiconductor industry. However, there are several data points that suggest our business is in the early stages of a recovery. The second quarter showed marked growth in net sales, when compared with recent quarters. In addition, second quarter shipments of $2.5 million were significantly higher than the prior quarter, due in large part to the on-schedule shipment of the FOXTM-15 wafer-level burn-in and test system to Micronas, a leading supplier of automotive and industrial integrated circuits. We will record revenue after Micronas completes qualification runs and accepts the system. Looking forward in calendar 2010, quoting activity is beginning to increase and we are hopeful this will result in the addition of new customers and an increase in net sales as industry conditions improve. We believe that these factors set the stage for improved results in the second half of fiscal 2010." Net sales were $2.9 million in the first six months of fiscal 2010 compared with $18.9 million in the first six months of fiscal 2009. Net loss for the six months ended November 30, 2009 was $1.2 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, compared with net income of $1.7 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, in the same period of the prior fiscal year. At November 30, 2009, cash and cash equivalents were $5.1 million and include the proceeds of approximately $3.3 million received in September 2009 from the sale of a portion of the bankruptcy claim against Spansion Inc. Aehr Test completed the second quarter of fiscal 2010 with no outstanding debt and shareholders' equity of $10.0 million, or $1.17 per share outstanding at November 30, 2009. -more- Aehr Test Systems Reports Second Quarter Fiscal 2010 Results January 6, 2010 Page 2 of 5 Management Conference Call Management of Aehr Test will host a conference call and webcast today, January 6, 2010 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern (2:00 p.m. Pacific) to discuss the Company's second quarter fiscal 2010 operating results.

_____________________________________________________________________________ 1 The Company's largest customer, Spansion Inc. ("Spansion") filed for bankruptcy in February and March 2009. The Company has filed a claim in the Spansion U.S. bankruptcy action. In the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company sold a portion of its bankruptcy claim to a third party for net proceeds of approximately $3.3 million and recorded the amount in income from operations. 2 In the second quarter of fiscal 2010, officers of the Company elected to forfeit certain stock options granted. The forfeiture of these options resulted in the immediate recognition of the unamortized portion of stock compensation expense of $0.5 million. Non-GAAP net (loss) income is a non-GAAP measure and should not be considered a replacement for GAAP results. Non-GAAP net (loss) income is a financial measure the Company uses to evaluate the underlying results and operating performance of the business. The limitation of this measure is that it excludes items that impact the Company's current period net (loss) income. This limitation is best addressed by using this measure in combination with net (loss) income (the most comparable GAAP measure). -more- Aehr Test Systems Reports Second Quarter Fiscal 2010 Results January 6, 2010 Page 5 of 5 AEHR TEST SYSTEMS AND SUBSIDIARIES Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (in thousands, except per share data) (unaudited)
