NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
September 28, 2003
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Advanced Micro
Devices, Inc. (the Company or AMD) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The results of operations for the
interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 28, 2003. In the opinion of the Companys management, the information contained herein reflects all
adjustments necessary to make the results of operations for the interim periods a fair statement of such operations. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2002, as amended. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
The Company uses a 52- to 53- week fiscal year ending on the last Sunday in December. The
quarters ended September 28, 2003 and September 29, 2002 each included 13 weeks. The nine- month periods ended September 28, 2003 and September 29, 2002 each included 39 weeks.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation.
The consolidated financial statements include the Companys accounts and those of its majority and wholly owned subsidiaries (see
Note 6
FASL LLC
). Upon consolidation, all significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated and amounts pertaining to the noncontrolling ownership interests in the operating results and financial position of the majority owned
subsidiary, FASL LLC, are reported as minority interest. Also included in the financial statements, under the equity method of accounting, are the Companys percentage equity share of certain investees operating results, where
the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operations of the investee.
Product Warranties.
At the time revenue is recognized, the Company provides for estimated costs that may be incurred under product warranties, with the corresponding expense recognized in cost of sales.
Estimates of warranty expense are based on historical experience. Remaining warranty accruals are evaluated periodically and are adjusted for changes in experience.
New Accounting Pronouncements.
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 46,
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46). Variable interest entities often are created for a single specified purpose, for example, to facilitate securitization, leasing, hedging, research and development, or other
transactions or arrangements. This interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, defines what these variable interest entities are and provides guidelines on identifying them and assessing an
enterprises interests in a variable interest entity to decide whether to consolidate that entity. Generally, FIN 46 applies to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise
obtains an interest after that date. For existing variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before
-6-
February 1, 2003, the provisions of this interpretation will apply no later than the beginning of the first interim or
annual reporting period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of FIN 46 did not have a material impact on the Companys results of operations or financial condition.
In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 150, Accounting for Certain
Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity (SFAS 150), which addresses how to classify and measure certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities (or an asset in some circumstances) and
equity as either debt or equity in the balance sheet. The requirements apply to issuers classification and measurement of freestanding financial instruments, including those that comprise more than one option or forward contract. SFAS
150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS 150 did not have a material impact on
the Companys results of operations or financial condition.
3.
Stock-Based Incentive Compensation Plans
The Company uses the intrinsic value
method to account for stock options issued to its employees under its stock option plans and amortizes deferred compensation, if any, over the vesting period of the options. Compensation expense resulting from the issuance of fixed term stock option
awards is measured as the difference between the exercise price of the option and the fair market value of the underlying share of company stock subject to the option on the awards grant date. For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the Company
estimates the fair value of its stock-based awards to employees using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The pro forma effect on net loss and net loss per share are as follows for the quarters and nine-month periods ended September 28, 2003 and
September 29, 2002.

On June 27, 2003, the Company filed a
Tender Offer Statement with the SEC and made an offer, which was approved by the Companys stockholders, to exchange certain stock options to purchase shares of the Companys common stock, outstanding under eligible option plans and held
by
-7-
eligible employees, for replacement options to be granted no sooner than six months and one day from the cancellation of
the surrendered options. The offer to exchange expired on July 25, 2003. Options to purchase approximately 19.0 million shares of the Companys common stock were tendered for exchange and cancelled on July 28, 2003. Subject to the terms of the
offer to exchange, the Company will grant replacement options to purchase approximately 13.4 million shares of its common stock at fair market value on the date of grant on or after January 29, 2004, in exchange for the options cancelled. The
Company does not expect to record compensation expense as a result of the exchange.

Available-for-sale securities with
maturities greater than twelve months are classified as short-term when they include investments of cash that are intended to be used in current operations. The Company realized net gains from the sale of available-for-sale securities in the first
nine months of 2003 of $3.7 million, which were included in interest and other income, net.
-8-
At September 28, 2003 and December 29, 2002, the Company had approximately $12 million and $13 million of investments
classified as held to maturity, consisting of commercial paper and treasury notes used for long-term workers compensation and leasehold deposits that were included in other assets. The fair value of the investments approximated cost at September 28,
2003 and December 29, 2002.
Included in cash and cash equivalents is a
compensating balance of $201 million, which AMD Saxony is required to keep at all times through June 29, 2005 in an account with Dresdner Bank AG in connection with the Dresden Loan Agreements (see Note 11
Guarantees
). Included in prepaid and
other assets is $28 million of restricted cash associated with the advance receipt of interest subsidies from the Federal Republic of Germany and the State of Saxony in connection with the Dresden Loan Agreements. Restrictions over the
Companys access to the restricted cash will lapse as the Company incurs qualifying interest expense on the Dresden term loan over the next four quarters.
5. Net Loss Per Common Share
Potential dilutive common shares include shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding employee stock options and the conversion of outstanding convertible notes and
debentures. As the Company incurred net losses for all periods presented, diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share. Potential dilutive common shares of approximately 78 million and 22 million for the three
months ended September 28, 2003 and September 29, 2002 and 77 million and 20 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2003 and September 29, 2002 were not included in the net loss per common share calculation, as their inclusion would have
been antidilutive.
6. FASL LLC
In order to respond more quickly to changes in market trends and improve efficiencies in the
production, marketing and product design of their Flash memory products, the Company and Fujitsu Limited formed FASL LLC effective June 30, 2003. FASL LLC is headquartered in Sunnyvale, California and its manufacturing, research and assembly
operations are in the U.S. and Asia. As the Company has a 60% controlling equity interest in FASL LLC, it began consolidating the results of FASL LLCs operations on June 30, 2003, the effective date of the transaction. The Company is
accounting for the FASL LLC transaction as a partial step acquisition and purchase business combination under the provisions of SFAS 141,
Business Combinations
, and EITF Consensus No. 01-02,
Interpretations of APB Opinion No. 29
,
[
Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions
].
Both the Company and Fujitsu
contributed their respective investments in the former Manufacturing Joint Venture (formerly referred to as FASL). As a result of this transaction, the Company acquired an incremental 10.008% controlling interest in the net assets of the
Manufacturing Joint Venture (the difference between the Companys 60% ownership of these net assets after their contribution to FASL LLC and its previous 49.992% ownership in these same net assets prior to their contribution to FASL LLC).
Accordingly, the Company recorded its acquired incremental 10.008% interest in the Manufacturing Joint Ventures contributed net assets based on the assets fair value on the effective
-9-
date of the transaction. The remaining 89.992% interest in the Manufacturing Joint Ventures net assets was recorded
at its historical carrying value.
The Company also contributed its Flash
memory inventory, its manufacturing facility located in Austin, Texas (Fab 25), its Flash memory research and development facilities in Sunnyvale, California, and its Flash memory assembly and test operations in Thailand, Malaysia and China. The
Company recorded its continuing 60% interest in these net assets at their historical carrying values. The remaining 40% interest in these net assets was deemed to have been sold to Fujitsu and, accordingly, 40% of the carrying values of these net
assets were adjusted to and recorded based on the net assets fair value on the effective date of the transaction. The excess of the fair value of the net assets treated as sold over their historical carrying value, approximately $44.7 million,
was not recorded as a gain because the fair value of the consideration received by the Company in the form of the Companys 60% equity interest in Fujitsus contributions and the incremental 10.008% interest in the former Manufacturing
Joint Ventures net assets less direct costs of the transaction, did not exceed the 40% interest in book value of the net assets contributed by the Company.
To form FASL LLC, Fujitsu also contributed its Flash memory division, including related inventory, cash, and its Flash memory assembly and
test operations in Malaysia. The Company is deemed to have acquired a 60% interest in the net assets contributed by Fujitsu and, accordingly, 60% of the carrying values of these net assets were adjusted to and recorded based on the net assets
fair value. The remaining 40% interest in these net assets was recorded at the historical carrying value.
As part of the transaction, the Company and Fujitsu entered into various service contracts with FASL LLC. The Company will continue to provide, among other things, certain information technology, facilities,
logistics, legal, tax, finance, human resources and environmental, health and safety services to FASL LLC. These contracts continue to be evaluated by the parties to ensure accuracy and efficiency in the manner in which the services are provided and
allocated to FASL LLC.
The Company also loaned FASL LLC $120 million pursuant
to a promissory note. The note has a term of three years and bears interest at LIBOR plus 4%, but is eliminated in the Companys consolidated financial statements. Fujitsu also loaned FASL LLC $40 million pursuant to a promissory note. The note
has a term of three years, with four equal principal payments due on September 30, 2005, December 31, 2005, March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006. The note bears interest at LIBOR plus 4% to be paid quarterly.
The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation to the assets and
liabilities of FASL LLC at June 30, 2003, the effective date of the transaction, including the fair values of the assets and liabilities attributable to the Manufacturing Joint Venture, AMDs contributions and Fujitsus contributions. Upon
consolidation, all amounts pertaining to Fujitsus interest in FASL LLC are reported as minority interest. Management considered a number of factors, including independent appraisals and valuations, in determining the preliminary purchase
allocation.

The intangible assets in the table above consist of the estimated fair value of the manufacturing and product
distribution contracts among FASL LLC and AMD and Fujitsu which are determined to have an estimated useful life of four years. No value was assigned to in-process research and development because AMD and Fujitsu performed all research and
development activities for the Manufacturing Joint Venture and AMD and Fujitsu did not convey in-process technology rights to FASL LLC. Additionally, FASL LLC pays intellectual property royalties to AMD and Fujitsu for technological know-how used in
its business operations at royalty rates deemed to approximate fair market values. No additional intangible assets were identified in connection with the transaction.
The Companys acquisition cost was approximately $264 million, which includes 40% of the net book value of the Companys
contributions and other direct acquisition costs incurred by the Company. The acquisition cost approximated the fair values of the incremental net assets and equity interests acquired. Accordingly, there was no goodwill associated with the business
combination.
The following pro forma financial information includes the
combined results of operations of AMD and the Manufacturing Joint Venture as though the Manufacturing Joint Venture had been consolidated by AMD at the beginning of the nine-month periods ended September 28, 2003 and September 29, 2002 and for the
quarter ended September 29, 2002. The historically reported operating results of the Manufacturing Joint Venture do not include Flash memory sales recorded by Fujitsus former Flash memory operations in periods preceding June 29, 2003 because
the information is not available to the Company. Depreciation and amortization expenses were estimated for the pro forma periods based on the amounts at which fixed and intangible assets were recorded at the acquisition date. Pro forma interest
income and expense are not material and are not included in the pro forma financial information. Had the transaction occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2003, revenue, net loss and net loss per share would have been $2,536 million, $322 million and
$0.93 for the nine-month period ended September 28, 2003. As the effective date of the transaction was June 30, 2003, no pro forma information is necessary for the three months ended September 28, 2003. Had the transaction occurred at the beginning
of 2002, revenue, net loss and net loss per share would have been $627 million, $257 million, and $0.75, respectively, for the three-month period ended September 29, 2002 and $2,297 million, $446 million, and $1.30 for the nine-month periods ended
September 29, 2002. These pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred if the transaction had been completed at the beginning of the periods indicated. The pro forma results are not necessarily
indicative of future operating results.
In addition, the Manufacturing Joint
Venture provided a defined benefit pension plan and a lump-sum retirement benefit plan to certain employees. These plans were and are administered by Fujitsu and cover FASL LLC employees formerly assigned from Fujitsu and employees hired directly by
the Manufacturing Joint Venture. A full actuarial valuation has not been completed for the specific portion of the plans that relate to the Manufacturing Joint Venture employees. As a result, the Company estimated FASL LLCs proportionate
allocation of pension obligations, pension assets and elements of pension expensed based on information provided by the actuaries to determine the amounts to be recorded on its consolidated financial statements. For the quarter ended September 28,
2003, the Company recorded an estimated pension cost charge of approximately $3 million and has recorded an estimated pension benefit obligation liability of approximately $25 million. As of September 28, 2003, the estimated projected benefit
obligations were approximately $27 million and the estimated total pension plan assets were approximately $4 million. Although the Company believes that the estimates and assumptions used by the Company are reasonable, the actual amounts recorded
could vary when a full actuarial valuation is completed as of Fujitsus fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. However, the Company does not expect any such difference will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

The Companys share of the
Manufacturing Joint Ventures net income (loss) differed from the equity in net income previously reported on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The difference was due to adjustments resulting from intercompany profit
eliminations and differences in U.S. and Japanese tax treatment of the Manufacturing Joint Ventures income, which were reflected on the Companys consolidated statements of operations. The Company never received cash dividends from the
Manufacturing Joint Venture.

7. Foundry Arrangement Guarantee
In 2000, the Manufacturing Joint Venture further expanded its production capacity through a
foundry arrangement with Fujitsu Microelectronics, Inc. (FMI), a wholly owned subsidiary of Fujitsu Limited. In connection with FMI equipping its wafer fabrication facility in Gresham, Oregon (the Gresham Facility), to produce Flash memory devices
for sale to the Manufacturing Joint Venture, the Company agreed to guarantee the repayment of up to $125 million of Fujitsus obligations as a co-signer with FMI under its global multicurrency revolving credit facility with a third-party bank
(the Guarantee). In 2001, Fujitsu closed the Gresham Facility due to the downturn of the Flash memory market. The Company disagreed with Fujitsu as to the amount owed under this Guarantee and reached a settlement, resulting in a cash payment by the
Company to Fujitsu. The settlement amount is immaterial to the Companys financial statements, and was recorded in the Companys statement of operations for the second quarter ended June 29, 2003 and paid in the third quarter ended
September 28, 2003.
8. Segment Reporting
Prior to the third quarter of 2003, the Company had two reportable segments,
the Core Products and Foundry Services segments. Primarily as a result of the formation of FASL LLC, the Company re-evaluated its reportable segments under SFAS 131. Management reviews and assesses operating performance using segment revenues and
operating income before interest, taxes and minority interest. These performance measures include the allocation of expenses to the operating segments based on management judgment.
Beginning in the third quarter of 2003, the Company changed its reportable segments to: the Computation Products segment, which includes x86
microprocessors for servers, workstations, desktop and notebook PCs and chipset products, and the Memory Products segment, which includes the Flash memory products of AMD and FASL LLC. The Company believes that separate reporting of these operating
segments, given the Companys new focus on FASL LLC as a separate operating company and FASL LLCs separate market brand
, provides more useful information.
The All Other category
comprises other small operating segments (Personal Connectivity Solutions Products, which includes low power MIPS and x86 solutions, and Foundry Services, which included fees from our former voice communications and programmable logic products
subsidiaries) that are neither individually nor in the aggregate material. This category also includes certain operating expenses and credits that are not allocated to the operating segments. Prior period segment information has been restated to
conform to the current period presentation. However, as the Companys results of operations for prior periods did not include the consolidation of FASL LLCs operations the segment operating information for the Memory Products segment for
the quarter ended September 28, 2003 is not comparable to the restated segment information for all prior periods presented.
The following table is a summary of sales and operating income (loss) by segment and category with reconciliation to net loss for the quarters and nine months ended
September 28, 2003 and September 29, 2002:

On July 7, 2003, the Company amended and restated its 1999 Loan and Security Agreement with a consortium of banks led by
a domestic financial institution. It was further amended on October 3, 2003 (the July 2003 Loan Agreement). See Note 14
Subsequent Events
. The following describes the July 2003 Loan Agreement as of September 28, 2003, before it was amended on
October 3, 2003. The July 2003 Loan Agreement provided for a secured revolving line of credit of up to $200 million that expired in July of 2007. The Company could borrow, subject to amounts that were set aside by the lenders, up to 85 percent of
its eligible accounts receivable from OEMs and 50 percent of its eligible accounts receivable from distributors. The Company had to comply with, among other things, the following financial covenants if the level of net domestic cash (as defined in
the July 2003 Loan Agreement) it held declined below $200 million:
|
|
|
restrictions on the Companys ability to pay cash dividends on its common stock;
|
|

At September 28, 2003, net domestic
cash, as defined, totaled $429 million.
The Companys obligations under
the July 2003 Loan Agreement were secured by all of its accounts receivable, inventory, general intangibles (excluding intellectual property) and the related proceeds. FASL LLCs assets, accounts receivable, inventory and general intangibles
were not pledged as security for the Companys obligations. As of September 28, 2003, no amount was outstanding under the July 2003 Loan Agreement.
On July 11, 2003, the Company amended its September 2002 Loan Agreement and assigned it to FASL LLC. Under the Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement (the July 2003
FASL Term Loan), amounts borrowed bear interest at a variable rate of LIBOR plus four percent, which was 5.14 percent at September 28, 2003. Repayment occurs in equal, consecutive, quarterly principal and interest installments ending in September
2006. As of September 28, 2003, approximately $89 million was outstanding under the July 2003 FASL Term Loan, of which 60 percent is guaranteed by the Company and 40 percent is guaranteed by Fujitsu.
FASL LLC must also comply with additional financial covenants if its net domestic cash
balance (as defined in the July 2003 FASL Term Loan) declines below $130 million through the first quarter of 2004, $120 million from the second quarter of 2004 and the end of 2005 and $100 million during 2006. At any time that net domestic cash
falls below these thresholds, FASL LLC must comply with, among other things, the following financial covenants:
|
|
|
maintain an adjusted tangible net worth (as defined in the July 2003 FASL Term Loan) of not less than $850 million.

At September 28, 2003, FASL
LLCs net domestic cash totaled $202 million.
Manufacturing Joint
Venture Loan Refinancing
As a result of the FASL LLC transaction, the
Manufacturing Joint Ventures third party loans were refinanced from the proceeds of a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of 18 billion yen (approximately $161 million on September 28, 2003) entered into between a wholly owned
subsidiary of FASL LLC and a Japanese financial institution. Fujitsu has guaranteed 100 percent of the amounts outstanding under this facility. Under the agreement, the
-15-
amounts borrowed bear an interest rate of TIBOR plus a spread that is determined by Fujitsus current debt rating.
The current interest rate is 1.06%. Repayment occurs in equal, consecutive, quarterly principal installments ending in June 2007. The Company has agreed to pay Fujitsu 60 percent of any amount paid by Fujitsu under its guarantee of this loan.
Capital Lease and Leaseback Transactions
On July 16, 2003, a wholly owned subsidiary of FASL LLC entered into a sale-leaseback
transaction for certain equipment with a third party financial institution in the amount of 12 billion yen (approximately $100 million on July 16, 2003) of cash proceeds. Upon execution of the agreement, the equipment had a net book value of
approximately $168 million. As the term on the leaseback is more than 75 percent of the remaining estimated economic lives of the equipment, the Company is accounting for the transaction as a capital lease. The Company recognized an immediate loss
of $16 million on the transaction due to the fact that the fair market value of the equipment was less than their net book value at the time of the transaction. The Company also recorded approximately $52 million of deferred loss which will be
amortized in proportion to the leased assets over their average estimated remaining lives, which is approximately 3 years. The Company guaranteed 50 percent or up to approximately $50 million of the outstanding obligations under the lease
arrangement. As of September 28, 2003, the outstanding lease obligation under this agreement was approximately $91 million. FASL LLC and its subsidiaries also entered into other capital lease transactions during the third quarter of 2003, which
resulted in additional capital lease obligations of $152 million as of September 28, 2003.
The Company has guaranteed approximately $156 million of the total $276 million outstanding obligations under capital lease arrangements of FASL LLC as of September 28, 2003.

Dresden Term Loan Agreements and Dresden Term Loan Guarantee
AMD Saxony Limited Liability Company & Co. KG, (AMD Saxony, formerly known as AMD Saxony
Manufacturing GmbH), an indirect wholly owned German subsidiary of AMD, continues to facilitize Fab 30, which began production in the third quarter of 2000. AMD, the Federal Republic of Germany, the State of Saxony and a consortium of banks are
providing financing for the project.
In March 1997, AMD Saxony entered into a
loan agreement and other related agreements (the Dresden Loan Agreements) with a consortium of banks led by Dresdner Bank AG, a German financial institution, in order to finance the project.
Because most of the amounts under the Dresden Loan Agreements were denominated in deutsche
marks (converted to euros), the dollar amounts discussed below are subject to change based on applicable conversion rates. The Company used the exchange rate that was permanently fixed on January 1, 1999, of 1.95583 deutsche marks to one euro for
the conversion of deutsche marks to euros, and then used the exchange rate of 0.87 euro to one U.S. dollar as of September 28, 2003, to translate the amounts denominated in deutsche marks into U.S. dollars.
The Dresden Loan Agreements, as amended, provide for the funding of the construction and
facilitization of Fab 30 and also require that the Company guarantee up to 50 percent of AMD Saxonys obligations under the Dresden Loan Agreements, which guarantee must not be less than $128 million or more than $344 million, until the bank
loans are repaid in full. As of September 28, 2003, the amount outstanding under the guarantee was $306 million.
As AMD Saxonys obligations under the Dresden Loan Agreements are included in the Companys consolidated financial statements, no incremental liability is
recorded under the Dresden guarantee.

FASL LLC Operating Lease Guarantees
The Company has guaranteed certain operating leases entered into by FASL LLC and its subsidiaries totaling approximately $29 million as of September 28, 2003. The amount
of the guarantees will be reduced by the actual amount of lease payments paid by FASL LLC over the lease term.

Advanced Mask Technology Center and Maskhouse Building Administration Guarantees
The Advanced Mask Technology Center GmbH & Co. KG (AMTC), and Maskhouse Building
Administration GmbH & Co., KG (BAC), are joint ventures formed by AMD, Infineon Technologies AG and DuPont Photomasks, Inc. for the purpose of constructing and operating a new advanced photomask facility in Dresden, Germany. To finance the
project, BAC entered into an $86 million bridge loan in June 2002, and BAC and AMTC entered into a $138 million revolving credit facility and an $86 million term loan in December 2002. In September 2003, the outstanding amounts under the bridge loan
were repaid with proceeds from the term loan. Also in December 2002, in order to occupy the photomask facility, AMTC entered into a rental agreement with BAC. With regard to these commitments by BAC and AMTC, the Company guaranteed up to
approximately $29 million plus interest and expenses under the term loan, up to approximately $37 million plus interest and expenses under the revolving loan, and up to approximately $16 million, initially, under the rental agreement. The
obligations under the rental agreement guarantee diminish over time through 2011 as the term loan is repaid. However, under certain circumstances of default by the other tenant of the photomask facility under its rental agreement with BAC and
certain circumstances of default by more than one joint venture partner under its rental agreement guarantee obligations, the maximum potential amount of the Companys obligations under the rental agreement guarantee would be approximately $130
million. As of September 28, 2003, $12 million was drawn under the revolving credit facility, and $75 million was drawn under the term loan and are subject to the aforementioned guarantees.
The Company has not recorded any liability in its consolidated financial statements
associated with these guarantees because they were issued prior to the effective date of FIN 45.
Warranties and Indemnities
The
Company generally offers a three-year limited warranty to end users for certain of its boxed microprocessor products, and a one-year limited warranty only to direct purchasers for all other products.
Changes in the Companys potential liability for product warranty during the nine months
ended September 28, 2003 were as follows:

In addition to product warranties, the
Company, from time to time, in its normal course of business, indemnifies other parties with whom it enters into contractual relationships, including customers, lessors and parties to other transactions with the Company, with respect to certain
matters. The Company has agreed to hold the other party harmless against specified losses, such as those arising
-18-
from a breach of representations or covenants, third party claims that the Companys products when used for their
intended purpose(s) infringe the intellectual property rights of such third party or other claims made against certain parties. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount of liability under these indemnification obligations due to
the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances that are likely to be involved in each particular claim. Historically, payments made by the Company under these obligations have not been material.
12. Restructuring and Other Special Charges
2002 Restructuring Plan
In December 2002, the Company began implementing a restructuring plan (the 2002
Restructuring Plan) to further align its cost structure to industry conditions resulting from weak customer demand and industry-wide excess inventory.
As part of this plan, and as a result of the Companys technology agreement with IBM to develop future generations of the Companys logic process technology,
the Company has ceased its silicon processing associated with logic research and development in its Submicron Development Center (SDC) in Sunnyvale, California and has eliminated most of those related resources, including the sale or abandonment of
certain equipment used in the SDC.
The 2002 Restructuring Plan has resulted in
the consolidation of facilities, primarily at the Companys Sunnyvale, California site and at sales offices worldwide. The Company has vacated, and is attempting to sublease, certain facilities currently occupied under long-term operating
leases. The Company has also terminated the implementation of certain partially completed enterprise resource planning (ERP) software and other information technology implementation activities, resulting in the abandonment of certain software,
hardware and capitalized development costs.
Pursuant to the 2002 Restructuring
Plan, the Company recorded restructuring costs and other special charges of $330.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2002, consisting primarily of $68.8 million of anticipated severance and fringe benefit costs, an asset impairment charge of $32.5
million relating to a license that had no future use because of its association with discontinued logic development activities, asset impairment charges of $30.6 million resulting from the abandonment of equipment previously used in logic process
development and manufacturing activities, anticipated exit costs of $138.9 million primarily related to vacating and consolidating the Companys facilities and $55.5 million resulting from the abandonment of partially completed ERP software and
other information technology implementation activities.
In the third quarter
ended September 28, 2003, the Company revised its estimates of the number of positions to be eliminated pursuant to the 2002 Restructuring Plan from 2,000 to 1,800 in response to the additional resources required due to the FASL LLC transaction. As
a result, the Company reversed $8 million of the estimated severance and fringe benefit accrual due to the decision to reduce the number of positions to be eliminated by 200. Therefore, the 2002 Restructuring Plan will result in the reduction of
approximately 1,800 positions or 14 percent of the Companys employees, affecting all levels of its workforce in almost every organization. As of September 28, 2003, 1,512 employees had been terminated pursuant to the 2002 Restructuring Plan
resulting in cumulative cash payments of $50 million for severance and
-19-
employee benefit costs. The Company expects to substantially complete the activities associated with the 2002
Restructuring Plan by the end of December 2003.
During the first quarter of
2003, management approved the sale of additional equipment, primarily equipment used in the SDC, that had been identified as no longer useful in the Companys operations. As a result, the Company recorded approximately $11 million of asset
impairment charges in the first quarter of 2003, including $3.3 million of charges for decommission costs necessary to complete the equipments sale.

2001
Restructuring Plan
In 2001, the Company announced a restructuring plan (the
2001 Restructuring Plan) due to the slowdown in the semiconductor industry and a resulting decline in revenues. The Company has substantially completed its execution of the 2001 Restructuring Plan, with the exception of the facilities and equipment
decommission activities, which are expected to be completed by the end of 2003. During the first quarter of 2003, the Company reduced the estimated accrual of the facility and equipment decommission costs by $7.4 million based on the most current
information available. During the first quarter, the Company also realized a recovery of approximately $1.6 million from the sale of equipment impaired as a result of the 2001 Restructuring Plan, previously held-for-sale at amounts in excess of its
initially estimated fair value. Both amounts were included in restructuring and other special charges (recoveries) net.

Subsequent Events

On July 7, 2003, the Company amended and restated its 1999 Loan and Security Agreement with
a consortium of banks led by a domestic financial institution. It was further amended on October 3, 2003. The July 2003 Loan Agreement currently provides for a secured revolving line of credit of up to $125 million that expires in July of 2007. The
Company can borrow, subject to amounts that were set aside by the lenders, up to 85 percent of its eligible accounts receivable from OEMs and 50 percent of its eligible accounts receivable from distributors. The Company has to comply with, among
other things, the following financial covenants if the level of net domestic cash (as defined in the July 2003 Loan Agreement) it holds declines below $125 million:
