ITEM 1. BUSINESS
THE COMPANYThe Company
KLA-Tencor Corporation ("KLA-Tencor") is the world's leading supplier
of process control and yield management solutions for the semiconductor and
related microelectronics industries. Our comprehensive portfolio of products,
software, analysis, services and expertise is designed to help integrated
circuit manufacturers manage yield throughout the entire wafer fabrication
process -
fromprocess--from research and development to final mass production yield analysis.
3
4
We offer a broad spectrum of products and services that are used by
every major semiconductor manufacturer in the world. These customers turn to us
for in-line wafer defect monitoring; reticle and photomask defect inspection;
critical dimension scanning electron microscope ("CD SEMSEM") metrology; wafer
overlay; film and surface measurement; and overall yield and fab-wide data
analysis. These advanced products, coupled with our unique yield management consulting practice,technology
services, allow us to deliver the complete yield management solutions our
customers need to accelerate their yield learning rates, reduce their yield
excursion risks and adopt industry-leading yield management practices.
KLA-Tencor Corporation was formed in April 1997 through the merger of KLA
Instruments Corporation and Tencor Instruments, two long-time leaders in the semiconductor
equipment industry, each with over 20 years of experience. KLA Instruments
Corporation was incorporated in Delaware in July 1975 and1975; Tencor Instruments was
incorporated in California in 1976. Effective April 30, 1997, Tencor Instruments
merged into a wholly owned subsidiary of KLA Instruments Corporation.
Immediately following this merger, KLA Instruments Corporation changed its name to
KLA-Tencor Corporation.
INDUSTRYKLA-Tencor.
Industry
General Background
The semiconductor fabrication process begins with a bare silicon
wafer--a round disk that is six, eight or twelve inches in diameter, about as
thick as a credit card and gray in color. The process of manufacturing wafers is
in itself highly sophisticated, involving the creation of large ingots of
silicon by pulling them out of a vat of molten silicon. The ingots are then
sliced into wafers and polished to a mirror finish on one surface, upon which
the circuits are made.
The fabrication of an integrated circuit ("IC" or "chip") is
accomplished by depositing a series of film layers upon a silicon wafer that act
as conductors, semiconductors or insulators. The deposition of these film layers
is interspersed with numerous other process steps that create circuit patterns,
remove portions of the film layers, and perform other functions such as heat
treatment, measurement and inspection. Most advanced chip designs require over
300 individual steps, many of which are performed multiple times. Most chips
consist of two main structures: the lower structure, typically consisting of
transistors or capacitors, which performs the "smart" functions of the chip; and
the upper structure, typically consisting of "interconnect" circuitry, which
connects the components in the lower structure.
Current Trends
Companies that anticipate future market demands by developing and
refining new technologies and manufacturing processes, andas well as bringing them
into production, are better positioned to lead in the semiconductor market.
During previous industry cycles, semiconductor manufacturers generally had to
contend with one key new technology or market trend, such as a specific design
rule shrink. In today's market, the leading semiconductor manufacturers are
investing in bringing three key new technologies into production at the same
time: copper interconnects; deep-sub-wavelength 4
5
lithography (0.13-micron design
rules and below); and 300mm300 mm (the next larger wafer size, from which more than
twice as many ICs can be produced as on 200mm200 mm wafers).
While each of these three technologies has been adopted at the
development and pilot production stages, several significant challenges and
risks associated with each one have slowed their adoption into full-volume
production. For example, as design rules decrease, yields become more sensitive
to the size and density of defects, while device performance characteristics
become more sensitive to such parameters as linewidth film thicknessand film-thickness
variation, andamong other factors. Copper introduces both new defects, thatwhich are
harder to find within the interconnect structure, as well as electrical defects,
which cannot be detected using conventional optical inspection systems. 300mm300 mm
wafers are more susceptible to damage than 200mm200 mm wafers since they can bend or
bow twice as much, creating stress on the wafer that can result in yield loss.
Film uniformity is also more difficult to maintain on these larger wafers.
Moving all three of these advanced technologies into production at once only
adds to the risk that chipmakers face, since technical challenges in bringing
any one of these into production could also be a factor in slowing the adoption
of the other two.
Our key activities during fiscal year 20012002 involved the development of
new process control and yield management tools that enable chipmakers to
accelerate the adoption of these new technologies into full-volume production,
while minimizing their associated risks. With our portfolio of
applications-focusedapplication-focused technologies and our dedicated yield consultingtechnology expertise,
we are in a unique position to be the single source for comprehensive yield
management solutions that enable our customers to achieve first-to-market
success for their next-generation products.
The continuing evolution of semiconductor devices to smaller linewidth
geometries and more complex multi-level circuitry has significantly increased
the cost and the performance requirements of the capital equipment used to
manufacture these devices. Construction of an advanced wafer fabrication
facility can cost over $2 billion, a substantial increase over the cost of
prior-generationprevious-generation facilities. As a result, chipmakers are demanding increased
productivity and higher returns from their manufacturing equipment. Because our
process control and yield management equipment typically represents only a small
percentage of the total investment required to build a fabrication facility, our
customers are able to better leverage these increasingly expensive facilities
and significantly improve their returnsreturn on investment.investment ("ROI").
Our Process Control and Yield Acceleration Solutions
Accelerating the yield ramp and maximizing the production yields of
high-performance devices are key goals of modern semiconductor manufacturing.
Achieving higher yields faster, andalong with higher performance characteristics,
increases the revenue a manufacturer can obtain from each semiconductor wafer.
KLA-TencorKLA-Tencor's systems are used to analyze product and process quality at all
critical points in the IC manufacturing process and provide feedback to our
customers so that fabrication problems can be identified, addressed and
eliminated. This ability to locate the source of defects and other process
issues, as well as contain them, enables semiconductor manufacturers to improve
control over their manufacturing processes, as well as increase their yields and
device value--thus maximizing the return on their investments and lowering their
manufacturing costs.

The following are some of the methods used to accelerate yields and
optimize device performance, all of which require the capture and analysis of
data gathered through many measurements:
Engineering analysis: This method of analysis is performed
off-line from the manufacturing process to identify, analyze and locate
the source of defects or other manufacturing process issues.
Engineering analysis equipment operates with very high sensitivity to
enable comprehensive analysis of wafers. Because this method operates
off the manufacturing line, high operational speeds are not required.
In-line monitoring: This method of analysis is used to review
the status of ICs during production. Information generated is used to
determine whether the fabrication process steps are within required
tolerances. It is also used to make any necessary real-time process
adjustments before wafer lots move to subsequent process stations.
Because information related to defects is needed quickly, in-line
monitoring requires both high throughput and high sensitivity.
Pass/fail tests: This method of analysis may be used at
several different points in the manufacturing process to evaluate
whether products meet performance specifications.
The most significant opportunities for yield and device performance
improvement generally occur when production is started at new factories and when
chips or wafers are first built. Equipment that helps a manufacturer quickly
increase new product yields and optimize device performance enables the
manufacturer to offer these new products in high volumes early in the product
life cycle--the time when they are likely to generate the greatest profits.
KLA-Tencor is the leader in the design, manufacture, marketing and
service of process monitoring and yield management systems for the semiconductor
industry. Our technical expertise and understanding of customer needs enable us
to provide unique yield management solutions and one of the broadest lines of
process monitoring and yield management function systems available in the
semiconductor industry. Our systems are used to analyze product and process
quality at critical points in the IC manufacturing process, as well as provide
feedback to our customers that can be used to identify, address, contain and
eliminate fabrication problems.
PRODUCTSProducts
We market and sell products to all major semiconductor, wafer,
photomask and data storage manufacturers worldwide. We combine our
hardware--consisting of patterned and unpatterned wafer inspection, optical
overlay metrology, e-beam review, reticle and photomask inspection,
spectroscopicspectroscopic- and scanning electron
microscope critical dimension (CD SEM)SEM-based CD metrology, and film and surface measurement
tools--with our advanced process control (APC), yield analysis and defect classification software, into
fab-wide yield management solutions that are optimized for each of the
manufacturing process cells used in IC production, including lithography, etch,
deposition and chemical mechanical planarization (CMP)("CMP"). 6
7Our products can be
broadly categorized into five groups: Defect Inspection, Metrology, Yield
Management Software Solutions, Customer Service and Support, and Data Storage.
Defect Inspection
Our defect inspection tools are used to detect, count, classify and
characterize particles and pattern defects in off-line engineering applications,
as well as in-line at various stages during the wafer, semiconductor and reticle
manufacturing processes. We pioneered the market for automated defect inspection
of semiconductor wafers and reticles more than two decades ago. Our portfolio
includes all the tools necessary for our customers to detect, correlate and
analyze defects, as well as determine and correct their cause.
High-Resolution Imaging Inspection
In 1997, we introduced the 2138Our 2xxx wafer inspection system--a new
memberseries, first introduced in 1992,
has set the standard for high-sensitivity patterned wafer inspection
through a unique combination of our established 21xx series, which combines high-speed image processing, with an
ultra-broadband brightfield illumination source and our unique Segmented Auto
Threshold technology to provide unprecedented
sensitivity for inspecting patterned wafers. In 1999, we introduced the
model 2139, which extended the capability of the 21xx product line to
0.18-micron processes and incorporated additional sensitivity and
ease-of-use enhancements.technology. In 2000, we introducedunveiled our next-generation
platform, the 2350, which was the first ultraviolet ("UV") inspection
system to feature ultra-broadband brightfield illumination--enablingillumination. Delivering
a two-fold increase in throughput over the previous generation 2xxx
platform, the 2350 enables the resolution of circuit patterns and
defects for 0.13-micron and smaller processes. TheIn July of 2001, an
upgrade to the 2350 delivers a
two-fold increasewas introduced, the 2351, which offers enhancements
in sensitivity, throughput over the previous generation 21xx
platform.and ease of use.
High-Speed Laser Scattering Inspection
In 1995, we introduced theOur AIT wafer inspection system, a
platformfamily is designed withfor high
throughput and low cost of ownership ("CoO")
for, providing fast and
accurate feedback on process tool performance, as well as advanced line
monitoring for films, CMP, and non-critical etch and photo modules. The
AIT series uses patented double-darkfield technology, which is a
low-angle illumination technique particularly effective for detecting
defects on planar surfaces such as post-CMP wafers. In 1998, weFirst introduced in
1995, the AIT II, which expanded onplatform has been continually enhanced over the capabilitiesyears
with increasing levels of the AIT
through increased sensitivity and throughput. In 2000, we introducedthroughput to address the
AIT III, providing the high-throughput inspection neededneeds for 0.13-micron and smaller design rules.
In June 2001, we unveiled the AIT XP, which took our AIT
inspection family to a whole new level in terms of performance. With its ability
to dynamically adjust and optimize inspection speed and sensitivity,
performance. Incorporating our proprietary NexTek(TM)
technology,while filtering out nuisance defects, the AIT XP delivers maximum
sensitivity to all die regions in a single pass. The system can scan an
entire wafer in as little as 80 seconds in a single pass, with the sensitivity needed to
inspect advanced devices incorporating 100nm (0.10 micron)0.10-micron (100-nm) and smaller
design rules.
E-Beam Inspection
Scanning Electron Microscopes ("SEMs")SEMs use an electron beam to image and measure surface
features on a semiconductor wafer at a much higher resolution than
images captured by optical microscopes. As the industry moves deeper
into the sub-0.18-micron copper-devicesub-0.15-micron copper device realm, SEM-based inspection
becomes mandatory for accelerating yield
7
8 ramps. KLA-Tencor pioneered
this market with the introduction of the industry's first e-beam
inspection system more than 8nearly 10 years ago. In 1999, we unveiled the eS20,
the first scanning e-beam wafer inspection system optimized for use in
full-volume production. In 2000,The following year, we introduced the eS20XP,
which delivers further improvements in sensitivity while increasing
throughput to enable true production line monitoring of sub-0.13-micron
semiconductor manufacturing. KLA-Tencor leveraged more than 25 years of
experience in wafer inspection to bring this latest tool to market.
Optical and E-beam Defect Review
Our defect review capability includes optical confocal and
e-beam scanning technology. In 1995, we introduced the CRS(TM) optical
review system, which enables high-speed defect review and
classification on both patterned and unpatterned 200 mm and 300 mm
wafers at a low CoO. In 2000, we introduced the eV300 defect review
system--an advanced, automated SEM designed to gather and analyze
defect excursion information, as well as report the results with the
improved sensitivity required at 0.13-micron and smaller design rules.
The eV300 supplements optical review by providing topographical
information, enabling more accurate defect classification than can be
achieved by optical review systems alone.
In-line Non Contact Electrical Defect Monitoring
The increasing complexity of IC manufacturing has given rise
to a greater number of electrical defects, causing device failure.
Accelerating yield learning for the back-end-of-line process,
especially in the development and early ramp phases, is made more
difficult by the task of isolating these yield-killing defects from the
thousands of non-relevant defects induced by material anomalies--an
extremely time-consuming process that can take from two to eight weeks
to complete per yield-learning cycle.
Our breakthrough uLoop(TM) methodology, introduced in October
2001, provides a fab-wide framework of solutions that accelerate time
to yield through an aggressive merger of inspection, metrology and
electrical test data. eDo, the first product in the uLoop family,
combines non-contact electrical test with in-line physical defect
inspection to produce the fastest root-cause analysis method available
in the industry today. Using eDo, chipmakers can reduce the length of
their yield-learning cycles down to only a few days. This new approach
represents an integrated turnkey solution to electrical inspection that
increases the speed and effectiveness of root-cause analysis by
detecting and imaging electrical defects quickly, while minimizing the
engineering resources required to gather and assimilate the root-cause
data. eDo comprises: proprietary test structures; KLA-Tencor's eS20XP
e-beam inspection system; and the uLoop Controller--an integrated
defect characterization, analysis, and reporting system. The test
structures are designed to meet the customer's design rule and chip
size requirements. Optimized for voltage-contrast inspection using
KLA-Tencor's e-beam technology, the test structures enable highly
accurate and accelerated electrical defect capture.
Unpatterned Wafer Inspection
In 1997, we introduced the Surfscan SP1(TM) for bare wafer
qualification, process monitoring and equipment monitoring
applications. It provides the high sensitivity, fast throughput and low
CoO required in a production environment, and is used in virtually all
semiconductor manufacturing processes. The SP1(TBI)SP1TBI ("Triple Beam
Illumination") was introduced in 1998, and was designed with additional
optical configurations needed to detect sub-micron defects on metal
films and rough surfaces while still providing sensitivity below 100 nm
on polished silicon. The SP1TBI is also used for detecting defects on
non-uniform films, a critical requirement for CMP applications. In
1999, we introduced a Surface Nanotopography Measurementsurface nanotopography measurement capability for
the SP1 enhancingthat enhances lithography and CMP process monitoring for
0.13-micron process development. In June 2001, we unveiled the SP1DLS, the
first 300 mm tool to provide brightfield, darkfield and nanotopography
defect information in a single scan. It has the sensitivity to capture
the widest variety of defects as small as 50 nm at high throughput
speeds of up to 125 wafers per hour.
Macro After-Develop Inspection
In 1999, we became the first to automate after-develop
inspection ("ADI") for macro defects with the introduction of the 2401
macro defect inspection system. Designed to replace inefficient manual
macro ADI, the 2401 is the industry's first fully automated inspection
system able to detect and classify front-end macro lithographic
defects, which are 50 microns and larger in size. Current manualManual ADI methods
may capture only 20 percent of photo-related defects as a result of
wafer complexity, background patterning noise, and human boredom and fatigue. In
contrast, the 2401 captures more than 90 percent of all critical macro
ADI defects, while providing comprehensive defect classification and
yield information to dramatically reduce scrap and enable continuous
process improvements.
In 2001, we introduced the 2430 macro ADI series, which
brought the benefits of the 2401's advanced analysis capabilities, high
throughput and advanced detection algorithms to 300 mm production.
Macro defects, which can ruin the entire wafer, are especially costly
to chipmakers in 300 mm production, since more than twice the number of
die are at risk with these larger wafers as compared to 200 mm wafers.
The 2430 is the first automated macro ADI system on the market to be
fully compliant with I300I standards for complete integration and rapid
deployment in 300 mm fabs.
Backside Wafer Inspection
In 2002, we unveiled a new Backside Inspection Module ("BSIM")
option for the Surfscan SP1 series that provides the industry's first
fully automated, non-destructive inspection solution for the backsides
of patterned production wafers. Wafer backside defects can have a
significant impact on wafer and process uniformity, both of which are
critical issues in advanced 300 mm processing. Our field trials
indicate that these backside defects can arise at nearly every process
step, and account for as much as 10 percent of a fab's baseline yield
loss--amounting to millions of dollars annually in lost revenue. The
Surfscan SP1 with BSIM enables automated, non-destructive wafer
backside inspection to be incorporated as a routine step into every
process module in order to recover these yield losses and help
chipmakers further realize the economic gains in moving to 300 mm.
Reticle Inspection
Our reticle inspection systems look for possible defects that
could be transmitted to the design pattern on the wafer. Reticles are
high precision quartz plates that contain microscopic images of
electronic circuits. Placed into steppers or scanners, these reticles
are used to transfer circuit patterns onto wafers to fabricate ICs.
Error-free reticles are the first step in ensuring high yields in the
manufacturing process since defects in reticles can be replicated on
wafers. Reticle inspection is becoming increasingly critical as the
industry 8
9
moves to deep sub-wavelength lithography (0.13 micron and
below), where the feature sizes printed on wafers are significantly
smaller than the wavelength of light used in the stepper or scanner.
This extension of the lithography process results in a phenomenon known as the "maskmask error
enhancement factor," where reticle defects once too small to print on
the wafer become enhanced in the lithography process to create
yield-killing wafer defects. We pioneered the market for automated
inspection of reticles and photomasks for the semiconductor
manufacturing industry over two decades ago, and continue to be a
market leader in addressing our customers' evolving inspection
requirements.
Our 3XX product family incorporates both a reference database
generator and a data preparation system, which add full die-to-database
functionality to the inspection. This permits inspection against the
ideal reticle pattern as specified by the user's CAD program. We have
continued to develop enhancements to the 3XX to improve performance,
serviceability and reliability. In 1997, for example, we introduced the
Advanced Performance Algorithm and the STARlight(TM) high-resolution
option. These enhancements enable highly accurate and reliable
inspection of next-generation sub-0.25-micron reticles, including
reticles with complex optical proximity correction (OPC) geometries. In
1999, we introduced the 365UV-HR, a deep ultraviolet ("DUV") reticle
pattern inspection tool for both high-volume manufacturing of
0.18-micron devices and early development of 0.13-micron processes.
In September 2000, we unveiled our new Tera(TM) family oflatest-generation reticle inspection systems, which havesystem, TeraStar(TM),
was unveiled in 2000 and has since proved to be one of the capabilitymost
successful launches in our company's history. With its ability to
inspect up to a terapixel (one million by one million pixels) per
reticle. The
TeraStar(TM) SLF27, a key member of the Tera family,reticle, TeraStar provides a three-fold increase in throughput compared
to previous generation systems, and can detect critical killer defects
as small as 100nm--making100 nm--making it ideal for inspecting advanced multi-die
reticles used in high-volume IC production.
In July 2001, we unveiled our new
Printability Analysis Stepper Simulator(TM) (PASS) software tool, which
enables photomask manufacturers to achieve significant time and cost
savings by automating the reticle defect analysis process and reducing
the amount of repair work needed for sub-wavelength photomasks. PASS is
compatible with all current KLA-Tencor reticle inspection tools.
Optical and E-beam Defect ReviewMetrology
Our defect review capability includes optical confocal
technology, as well as e-beam scanning for higher sensitivity. In 1995,
we introduced the CRS(TM) optical review system, which offers high
throughput and low CoO. In 2000, we introduced the eV300 defect review
system--an advanced, automated SEM designed to gather and analyze defect
excursion information, as well as report the results with the improved
sensitivity required at smaller design rules. The eV300 supplements
optical review by providing topographical information, enabling more
accurate defect classification than can be achieved by optical review
systems alone.

Process Window Optimization
Ourmetrology or process window optimization products provide virtually
all of the critical measurements fabs need to manage their advanced
manufacturing processes. With our unique combination of overlay, CD, overlay, film
thickness and reflectivity measurements, IC manufacturers have the capabilities
they need to maintain the tightest possible control of their lithography, etch,
deposition and CMP processes.
Optical Overlay
Decreasing linewidths, larger die sizes and increasing numbers
of layers in semiconductor devices all affect the tolerances for
layer-to-layer matching, or overlay, and can result in overlay
misregistration errors--a crucial cause of yield loss. Metrology
systems are needed to measure the alignment between different layers of
the semiconductor device to ensure overlay parameters are kept within
specification.
KLA-Tencor's overlay metrology systems are more tolerant of
process and substrate reflectivity variations than other optical
systems, and provide the measurements that our customers need to
fine-tune their lithography systems to compensate for these errors and
improve process yield. In February 2001, we unveiled our
latest-generation overlay metrology system, the Archer 10, which
enables highly precise and accurate measurements to within 2 nm, while
providing one of the industry's most competitive cost-of-ownership
overlay tools for sub-0.13 micron and 300 mm production. To augment the
performance of the Archer 10, we introduced a new software tool this
past July called Archer Analyzer that conducts fully automated,
real-time, on-tool overlay metrology analysis. Seamlessly integrated
with the Archer 10, Archer Analyzer provides mission-critical
information, such as wafer lot dispositioning and stepper correction
data, which helps chipmakers eliminate unnecessary wafer rework and
quickly address variations in the performance of their lithography
tools to minimize yield loss. This results in reduced cycle times,
increased yields and optimum device performance.
Process Window Monitoring
Over time, optimal focus and exposure settings for a given
lithography cell and process can drift and change in a variety of ways,
such as CD variations during the patterning process, which result in
significant yield losses. Knowing not just the optimal process
settings, but also the size of the process window and the sensitivity
to process variation, is now critical for stable and efficient pattern
transfer.
KLA-Tencor's Process Window Monitor(TM) ("PWM") series of CD
metrology systems enables chipmakers to monitor and match the process
windows of every lithography cell and process in the fab in real time.
Building upon the high precision, throughput and sensitivity of
KLA-Tencor's CD SEM and optical CD metrology tools, the new 8x50-PWM
and SpectraCD(TM)-PWM series of systems enable a variety of exposure
tool-based diagnostics to be off-loaded to the metrology tools,
increasing production capacity and overall equipment effectiveness of
lithography cells. In addition, the focus-exposure process window
information provided by the PWM systems enables rapid excursion
detection and root-cause analysis.
E-Beam CD Metrology
Controlling CD linewidth errors is critical to the IC
manufacturing process. Even the tiniest CD variations can affect the
speed of the IC, or cause the device to fail completely. Our
latest-generation wafer CD SEMs, the 8200 series (for 200 mm wafers)
and the 8400 series (for 300 mm wafers), combine high throughput,
advanced imaging, superior measurement precision and enhanced
productivity capabilities to enable tight CD control for critical
lithography and etch applications. Our pQC(TM) ("Pattern Quality
Confirmation") software enables the 8200 and 8400 CD SEMs to provide
in-line, real-time monitoring of feature shape integrity during the
patterning process--enabling the detection of subtle variations in
feature shape that can occur at and below the 0.13 micron node, which
are undetected by traditional CD SEM measurements. Our 8250-R reticle
CD control system, which is based on the 8200/8400 CD SEM platform,
provides extremely precise and high-throughput measurements on advanced
reticles used in the production of sub-0.13 micron devices.
Spectroscopic CD Metrology
New materials that are used in advanced IC production, such as
low-k dielectrics and photoresists for 193 nm lithography, are
difficult to control during lithography and etch processes. As a
result, they require more comprehensive data to be taken on device
features and linewidths in order to identify and correct process
variations and remain within process windows. Our SpectraCD(TM) system
provides non-destructive simultaneous and extensive CD, feature shape
and film-thickness measurements from a single tool, making it one of
the industry's lowest cost-of-ownership, production-worthy CD metrology
systems for 193-nm lithography applications and sub-100 nm device
production.
Film Measurement
Our film measurement products measure a variety of optical and
electrical properties of thin films. These products are used to control
a wide range of wafer fabrication steps, where within-wafer and
wafer-to-wafer uniformity of the process is of paramount importance to
semiconductor manufacturers--enabling them to achieve high device
performance characteristics at the lowest possible cost.
In 1995, we introduced the UV-1250SE, which brought a powerful
new technology to production, called spectroscopic ellipsometry ("SE").
KLA-Tencor has shipped more than 500 "UV-SE" systems since the
technology was first introduced. Our third generation "SE"SE thin-film
measurement system tool, the ASET-F5, addressed the difficult film
measurement needs that came from the continuing evolution of film
development driven by shorter linewidths. In 1999, we introduced an
enhanced version of ourthe award-winning ASET-F5, thin film measurement system, known as the ASET-F5x.
It incorporates a single wavelength ellipsometry ("SWE") option to
complement the industry-leading "SE"SE and dual-beam spectrophotometry
("DBS") technologies incorporated in the ASET-F5.
These combined capabilities provide theASET-F5 for even greater
accuracy, repeatability and system-to-system matching.
In June 2002, we unveiled SpectraFx 100, our latest-generation
thin-film metrology system, which delivers the precision, matching and
stability required for advanced film-measurement applications for 90-nm
device production, including 193-nm deep ultraviolet ("DUV")
lithography processes. Designed to fully support next-generation and
"operator free" 300 mm fabs with advanced automation and tool-to-tool
matching capabilities, SpectraFx 100 enables foundries and other
multi-product high-volume chip manufacturers to reduce the production ofprocess
development time for advanced ICs
with geometries as small as 100 nm.materials and accelerate their adoption
into volume production. These materials include 193-nm photoresists,
complex copper dual-damascene film stacks, and low-k and high-k
dielectrics.
Contamination Monitoring
Our Quantox(R) product is a non-contact, electrical performance
metrology system for gate dielectric films.
Gate dielectric quality is critical to the speed and
reliability of an IC. Quantox measuresBelow the 0.13-micron node, dielectrics become so
thin (less than 20 angstroms, or the equivalent of 0.002 microns) that
electrical performance characteristics of the dielectric films become
just as critical as physical characteristics in determining overall
transistor performance. Our Quantox(TM) product line provides
non-contact, in-line electrical performance measurements of all the key
parameters such asthat determine the quality of advanced gate dielectric
films, including contamination and oxide thickness, as well as
electrical capacitance and leakage.
We introduced the latest addition to this product family,
called Quantox XP, earlier this year. Quantox XP provides highly
accurate and comprehensive information on both the physical and
electrical properties of advanced gate dielectric materials in real
time. These materials include silicon oxynitride ("SiON") and high-k
dielectrics, which are usedrequired for gate dielectricsub-0.13-micron IC production.
Quantox XP data provides better than 95 percent correlation to device
electrical test data, enabling chipmakers to predict transistor
performance in-line, rather than having to wait until end-of-line
electrical test--a process controlwhich normally can take days or weeks to
help maximize device yield.
KLA-Tencor acquired the Quantox product line from Keithley Instruments
in 1998. Since that time, it has continued to remain an integral
component of our portfolio of yield acceleration solutions.complete.
In-situ CMP End-Point Detection
In copper deposition, metal film thickness and uniformity can
vary significantly from wafer to wafer. To compensate for these
variances during CMP, chipmakers have traditionally had to either take
copper wafers off line, which dramatically slows the production
process, or have usedhad to use optical-only in-situ metrology methods,
which provide limited information and unreliable end-point data. In
March 2001, we unveiled Precice(TM),
10
11 the industry's first
production-worthy in-situ film thickness and end-point control system
for copper CMP that provides highly-accurate measurements in real time.
Precice reduces the risk of process errors due to non-uniform
polishing, thereby speeding the ramp of new copper processes and
maximizing copper yields.
E-Beam Metrology
The critical dimension ("CD") of a semiconductor device refers to
a circuit line, element, or feature that must be manufactured to tight
specifications. Semiconductor circuits can be very sensitive to the
widths of their features. Even small variations can affect the speed of
the circuit, or whether the circuit works at all. Control of linewidth
errors is critical to the manufacturing process. Our CD SEM metrology
systems measure selected linewidth features on a chip, thus enabling
control of the manufacturing process.
In 1999, we introduced the 8100XP CD SEM, designed to address the
new metrology challenges associated with manufacturing ICs with
0.18-micron and smaller design rules. Providing maximum flexibility for
both photomask manufacturers and advanced lithography development fabs,
the 8100XP can measure both reticles and wafers without requiring any
hardware or software changeover. Later that year, we enhanced our 8100
CD SEM family with our new Pattern Quality Confirmation ("pQC"(TM))
software. With pQC, the 8100 CD SEM family combines in-line, real-time
metrology with process inspection, enabling the detection of systematic
lithography and etch related problems that can go undetected by
traditional CD SEM measurements.
In 2000, we introduced our latest-generation wafer CD SEMs, the
8200 series (for 200mm wafers) and the 8400 series (for 300mm wafers).
These tools combine high throughput, advanced imaging, superior
measurement precision and enhanced productivity capabilities in a new
Windows NT-based platform. We also introduced the 8250-R reticle CD
control system, which is based on the 8200/8400 CD SEM platform. The
8250-R provides extremely precise and high-throughput measurements on
advanced reticles used in the production of sub-0.13-micron devices.
Spectroscopic CD Metrology
New materials that are used in advanced IC production, such as
low-k dielectrics and photoresists for 193nm lithography, are difficult
to control during lithography and etch processes. As a result, they
require more comprehensive data to be taken on device features and
linewidths in order to identify and correct process variations and
remain within process windows. Our new SpectraCD(TM) system, introduced
in June 2001, provides non-destructive simultaneous and extensive CD,
feature shape, and film-thickness measurements from a single tool,
making it one of the industry's lowest cost-of-ownership,
production-worthy CD metrology systems for 193nm lithography
applications and sub-100nm device production.

Optical Overlay
Decreasing linewidths, larger die sizes and additional layers
also affect the tolerances for layer-to-layer matching ("Overlay").
Overlay misregistration errors are a crucial cause of yield loss.
Metrology systems are needed to measure the alignment between different
layers of the semiconductor device. Our 5000 Series overlay metrology
systems, which are more tolerant of process and substrate reflectivity
variations than other optical systems, provide the measurements that our
customers need to fine-tune the stepper program to compensate for these
errors and improve process yield. In 1999, we introduced the 5300
overlay system, which provides enhanced performance compared to previous
generation tools and is designed to handle both 200mm and 300mm
wafers. In February 2001, we unveiled the Archer 10, which incorporates
additional sensitivity, throughput and performance enhancements to
enable highly precise and accurate measurements to within 2nm. The
Archer 10 provides one of the industry's most competitive
cost-of-ownership overlay tools for sub-0.13-micron and 300mm
production.
Surface Metrology
Our Stylus profilers measure the surface topography of films
and etched surfaces, and are used in basic research and development as
well as semiconductor production and quality control. In 1999, we
introduced the HRP-240(ETCH),HRP-240ETCH, the latest generation of our award-winning
HRP(R) high resolution profilers. This system combines the dishing and
erosion measurement capabilities of our long-scan profilers with high
aspect ratio etched feature measurement capability, which has
historically been limited to atomic force microscopes. This allows
customers to monitor their critical etch processes such as shallow
trench isolation (STI)("STI") and dual-damascene via/trench. We also provide
stress measurement systems and capabilities, such as theour new Wafer Bow Wafer Stresswafer bow
and wafer stress option for our ASET-F5x thin film metrology tool,
which detectdetects reliability-related problems such as film cracking,
voiding and lifting.

Yield/Data Analysis and Management
In 1999, we acquired Taiwan-based ACME Systems, Inc., a
leading provider of yield correlation software. Combining the
newly-acquired technology from ACME with our own yield management
expertise led to the development of our Klarity ACE yield analysis
software, which helps our customers quickly identify the source of
defects and process problems.problems, as well as correct them. Other
acquisitions soon followed that continued to enhance our fab-wide yield
management portfolio. With our acquisition of FINLE Technologies in
2000, we developed our Klarity ProDataProDATA lithography modeling anddata analysis
software, which, along with our industry-leading PROLITH lithography
and etch simulation software, helps manufacturers reduce their advanced
lithography development time and cost. Also in 2000, we acquired Fab
Solutions, which added advanced process controlAutomated Process Control ("APC") software into
our product portfolio. APC allows our customers to employ techniques
that can automatically compensate for variances in the IC manufacturing
process, and significantly reduce their yield losses.
In 1997,1999, we introduced IMPACT(TM)our IMPACT XP(TM) automated defect
classification ("ADC"), enabling semiconductor manufacturers software, which provides consistent and accurate
classification of yield-limiting defects to utilize software
systems both within and between fabrication facilities tohelp our customers
accelerate thetheir ramp to higher process yields. With IMPACT ADC, semiconductor
manufacturers can develop a defect classification recipe on one system
and then export it to any other system or fabrication facility running
identical processes. In 1999, we introduced IMPACT XP incorporating
improved optics support and a newincorporates
our SmartGallery(TM) setup tool, which reduces the setup time
associated with ADC implementation in fabs by as much as 70 percent.
This is a critical requirement, particularly for foundries and
application specific integrated circuit ("ASIC") manufacturers, who
specialize in short runs of multiple products. In
2000, we introduced IMPACT SEM XP, bringing to our eV300 SEM review tool
the same production-provenOur Real Time
Classification(TM) ("RTC") and in-line ADC capabilities already implemented on our
high-resolution optical wafer inspection platforms. With these new
capabilities, customers can optimize the eV300 for use in classifying
and reviewing the extremely small defects associated with advanced
semiconductor manufacturing processes, including 0.13-micron and smaller
design rules, thus dramatically reducing the CoO of SEM review.
Real-time defect classification capability, first introduced on
both the AIT II and 2139 products, continues to be a critical feature on
all of our next-generation optical inspection tools, including the AIT
III and 2350. Called iADC (i for "integrated" into the inspection tool),
provides("iADC") technologies, which
provide classification and binning of defect types in real time during
inspection, thus providing better organized information in less timeare critical features on all of our latest-generation
e-beam and at a lower cost.optical inspection tools.
In June 2001, we introduced our new recipe management service,
called iRecipe(TM), which allows factory engineers to quickly and
easily access existing recipes and associated information that reside
on a central database from any personal computer that is connected to
the fab intranet. By integrating iRecipe into their fab network,
chipmakers can reduce their inspection and metrology tool cost of
ownership, as well as improve their overall fab efficiency.

Customer Service and Support
We enhance the value of our products through our customer service and
support programs, which provide comprehensive worldwide service and support
across all KLA-Tencor product lines. We also offer yield technology services to
improve our customers' ROI.
Global Support Services
Our customer support organization is responsible for much of
the support of our customers following the shipment of the equipment
and software, including on-site repair, telephone support, system
installation, relocation services, and selected post-sales
applications.
As part of our customer support program, we offer
iSupport(TM), a fast, comprehensive and secure on-line customer support
offering that enables KLA-Tencor'sour technical support and applications engineers
to remotely access data from KLA-Tencor tools and operate them in real
time to diagnose and rapidly resolve problems when they occur alloccur--all via
a secure on-line connection controlled by the customer at all times.
In
May 2001, KLA-Tencor sold certain intellectual property rights relating
to iSupport to Brooks Automation, a leader in factory automation
solutions. With the iSupport infrastructure now part of Brooks' product
portfolio, remote diagnostics capabilities offered by iSupport, customers
can be more rapidly adopted industry
wide--enabling IC manufacturers,achieve such benefits as well as KLA-Tencor and other OEM
tool suppliers, to more readily achieve the benefits of remote
diagnostics, including improved tool productivity and overall
equipment effectiveness, as well as lower CoO.
This past June, we unveiled our new iPartner(TM) portfolio of
customer support offerings, which leverages a combination of online and
on-site resources to cut customer service costs while at the same time
boosting tool uptime. Based on our iSupport technology, the iPartner
program takes a tiered approach that allows customers to scale at any
time to the support level that matches their unique and evolving
manufacturing requirements. It is designed to factor in the change in
service and support requirements that occur as process and product
cycles mature. With 7x24 iPartner online support, customers work with
KLA-Tencor's online engineers to resolve common issues, reducing the
need for on-site dispatch, thereby reducing costs to the customer and
increasing tool uptime. Even when an on-site visit is needed for
complex issues, KLA-Tencor online engineers diagnose the problem and
then identify and order the necessary parts so that the local customer
support engineer arrives on-site with the solution and needed parts in
hand to quickly resolve the problem. This approach reduces mean time to
repair, further cutting service costs and increasing tool uptime.
Our WorldwideGlobal Support Operations Educational Services offersServices' educational services offer a
comprehensive selection of technical courses from maintenance and
service training to basic and advanced applications and operation. We
offer standard and customized courses for individuals and groups both
at the user's location and in one of our three training facilities. We
also offer self-paced learning packages, including video,
computer-based training and study plans.
Yield Management ConsultingTechnology Services
Our yield management consulting practiceYield Technology Services group provides the systems,
software and yield management expertise to speed the implementation of
customers' yield improvement programs. This practice provides a broad
range of services and support, including new fab yield management
solution planning, factory and field customer applications training,
dedicated ramp management support, integrated yield management
consulting and applications support for effective solution
implementation, and regional customer response centers with
remote-access diagnostics. Use of our consulting practice provides
accelerated yield learning rates and improved device performance for
maximum return on investment.
Data Storage Industry
Outside the semiconductor industry, KLA-Tencor manufactures, sells and
services yield management solutions to the data storage market. In April 2001, the Companywe
acquired Phase Metrics, the leading supplier of inspection/certification
technologies to the data storage industry. The acquisition marks the latest move
in the Company'sour plan to leverage itsour core competencies and leadership position in the
global
14
15 semiconductor industry to create similar industry-leading positions in
other advanced technology markets.
Phase Metrics' tools and technologies complement the world-class
KLA-Tencor systems that already serve as benchmarks for disk and thin film head
metrology. Whereas KLA-Tencor's demonstrated technology and expertise focusesfocus on
front-end data storage metrology and inspection, Phase Metrics' efforts have
been focused on data storage back-end inspection and test. By leveraging the
naturally synergistic products and services from both companies, in tandem with
their joint sales, marketing and customer support channels, the newly combined
entity is expected to create the single largest yield management force in the
data storage industry.
CUSTOMERSCustomers
To support our growing, global customer base, we maintain a significant
presence throughout the United States, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Japan, staffed
with local sales and applications engineers, customer and field service
engineers and yield management consultants. We count among our largest customers
leading semiconductor manufacturers from each of these regions. In fiscal 2002,
2001 2000 and 1999,2000, no single customer accounted for more than 10 percent of our
revenues.
Our business depends upon the capital expenditures of semiconductor
manufacturers, which in turn depend on the current and anticipated market demand
for ICs and products utilizing ICs. We do not consider our business to be
seasonal in nature, but it is cyclical with respect to the capital equipment
procurement practices of semiconductor manufacturers and is impacted by the
investment patterns of such manufacturers in different global markets. Downturns
in the semiconductor industry or slowdowns in the worldwide economy could have a
material adverse effect on our future business and financial results.
SALES, SERVICE AND MARKETING
Sales, Service and Marketing
Our sales, service and marketing efforts are focused on building
long-term relationships with our customers. We focus on providing a single and
comprehensive resource for the full breadth of process control and yield
management products and services. Customers benefit from the simplified planning
and coordination, as well as the increased equipment compatibility found when
dealing with a single supplier. Our revenues are derived primarily from product
sales, principally through our direct sales force and, - to a lesser extent, -
through distributors.
We believe that the size and location of our field sales, service and
applications engineering, and marketing organizations represent a competitive
advantage in our served markets. We have direct sales forces in the U.S.,
Europe, Asia-Pacific and Japan. We maintain an export compliance program that is
designed to fully meet the requirements of the U.S. Departments of Commerce and
State.
We haveAs of June 30, 2002, we employed over 2,7702,600 sales and related
personnel, service engineers and applications engineers. We maintainIn addition to sales
and service offices throughout thein U.S. In addition,, we conduct sales, marketing and services out of
wholly-owned subsidiaries or branches of U.S. subsidiaries in a variety of
15
16
countries, including China, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Japan, South Korea,
Malaysia, Singapore, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand and the United Kingdom. International
sales accounted for approximately 66%67%, 70%66%, and 60%70% of our revenues in fiscal
2002, 2001, 2000, and 19992000 respectively. Additional information regarding our revenues
from foreign operations for our last three fiscal years is incorporated by
reference from Note 910 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
found under Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" in this Annual
Report on Form 10-K.
We believe that sales outside the U.S. will continue to be a
significant percentage of our revenues. Our future performance will depend, in
part, on our ability to continue to compete successfully in Asia, one of the
largest markets for the sale of yield management services in process monitoring
equipment. Our ability to compete in this area is dependent upon the
continuation of favorable trading relationships between countries in the region
(especially Taiwan, China, Japan Taiwan and South Korea) and the United States, and our
continuing ability to maintain satisfactory relationships with leading
semiconductor companies in the region.
International sales and operations may be adversely affected by
imposition of governmental controls, restrictions on export technology,
political instability, trade restrictions, changes in tariffs and the
difficulties associated with staffing and managing international operations. In
addition, international sales may be adversely affected by the economic
conditions in each country. The revenues from our international business may
also be affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates. Although we attempt
to manage the currency risk inherent in non-dollar sales through "hedging,"
there can be no assurance that such efforts will be adequate. These factors
could have a material adverse effect on our future business and financial
results.
BACKLOG
Backlog
Our backlog for system shipments totaled $599 million at June 30, 2002,
compared to $724 million at June 30, 2001,
compared to $982 million at June 30, 2000.2001. We include in our backlog only those
customer orders for which we have accepted purchase orders and assigned shipment
dates within twelve months. In addition, we exclude from backlog any orders for
non-released products. We expect to fill the present backlog of orders during
fiscal 2002;2003; however, all orders are subject to cancellation or delay by the
customer with limited or no penalty. Due to possible customer changes in
delivery schedules and to cancellation of orders, our backlog at any particular
date is not necessarily indicative of actual sales for any succeeding period.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENTResearch and Development
The market for yield management and process monitoring systems is
characterized by rapid technological development and product innovation. These
technical innovations are inherently complex and require long development cycles
and appropriate professional staffing. We believe continued and timely
development of new products and enhancements to existing products are necessary
to maintain our competitive position. Accordingly, we devote a significant
portion of our human and financial resources to research and development
programs and seek to maintain close relationships with customers to remain
responsive to their needs. As part of our customer 16
17
relationships, we may enter
into certain strategic development and engineering programs whereby our
customers offset certain of our research and development costs.
KeyOur key research and development activities during fiscal year 20012002
involved development of process control and yield management equipment
especially reticle inspection and advanced wafer inspection for smaller feature
sizes, copper-based devices and 300mm wafers. For information regarding our
research and development expenses during the last three fiscal years, including
costs offset by our strategic development and engineering programs, see Item 7
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations and Financial Condition"Operations" in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In order to make continuing developments in the semiconductor industry,
we are committed to significant engineering efforts toward both product
improvement and new product development. New product introductions may
contribute to fluctuations in operating results, since customers may defer
ordering existing products. If new products have reliability or quality
problems, those problems may result in reduced orders, higher manufacturing
costs, delays in acceptance of and payment for new products and additional
service and warranty expenses. On occasion, we have experienced reliability and
quality problems in connection with certain product introductions, resulting in
some of these consequences. There can be no assurance that we will successfully
develop and manufacture new hardware and software products, or that new hardware
and software products introduced by us will be accepted in the marketplace. If
we do not successfully introduce new products, our results of operations will be
affected adversely.
MANUFACTURING, RAW MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES
Manufacturing, Raw Materials and Supplies
We perform system design, assembly and testing in-house and utilize an
outsourcing strategy for the manufacture of components and major subassemblies.
Our in-house manufacturing activities consist primarily of assembling and
testing components and subassemblies that are acquired through third-party
vendors and integrating those subassemblies into our finished products. Our
principal manufacturing activities take place in San Jose and Milpitas,
California, with additional operations in Bedford, Massachusetts, San Diego,
Hayward and Fremont, California, and Migdal Ha'Emek, Israel. We employAs of June 30,
2002, we employed approximately 1,300 manufacturing and 1,3701,200 engineering
personnel.
Many of the parts, components and subassemblies (collectively "parts")
are standard commercial products, although certain items are made to KLA-Tencor
specifications. We use numerous vendors to supply parts for the manufacture and
support of our products. Although we make reasonable efforts to ensure that
these parts are available from multiple suppliers, this is not always possible;
and certain parts included in our systems may be obtained only from a single
supplier or a limited group of suppliers. We endeavor to minimize the risk of
production interruption by selecting and qualifying alternative suppliers for
key parts, by monitoring the financial condition of key suppliers and by
ensuring adequate inventories of key parts are available to maintain
manufacturing schedules.
Although we seek to reduce our dependence on sole and limited source
suppliers, in some cases the partial or complete loss of certain of these
sources could disrupt scheduled deliveries to customers and have a material
adverse effect on our results of operations and damage customer relationships.

COMPETITIONCompetition
The worldwide market for process control and yield management systems
is highly competitive. In each of our product markets, we face competition from
established and potential competitors, some of which may have greater financial,
research, engineering, manufacturing and marketing resources than us, such as
Applied Materials, Inc. and Hitachi Electronics Engineering Co., Ltd. We may
also face future competition from new market entrants from other overseas and
domestic sources. We expect our competitors to continue to improve the design
and performance of their current products and processes and to introduce new
products and processes with improved price and performance characteristics. We
believe that to remain competitive, we will require significant financial
resources to offer a broad range of products, to maintain customer service and
support centers worldwide and to invest in product and process research and
development.
Significant competitive factors in the market for process control and
yield management systems include system performance, ease of use, reliability,
installed base and technical service and support. We believe that, while price
and delivery are important competitive factors, the customers' overriding
requirement is for systems whichthat easily and effectively incorporate automated and
highly accurate inspection and metrology capabilities into their existing
manufacturing processes, thereby enhancing productivity.
Our process control and yield management systems for the semiconductor
industry are intended to compete based upon performance and technical
capabilities. These systems may compete with less expensive and more
labor-intensive manual inspection devices.
Management believes that KLA-Tencor is a strong competitor with respect
to both its products and services. However, any loss of competitive position
could negatively impact our prices, customer orders, revenues, gross margins,
and market share, any of which would negatively impact our operating results and
financial condition.
ACQUISITIONSAcquisitions
We continue to pursue a course of strategic acquisitions and alliances
to expand our technologies, product offerings and distribution capabilities. In
fiscal 2001,2002, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Phase Metrics,QC Optics, Inc. ("Phase Metrics"QC
Optics"), a suppliermanufacturer of inspection/certification technologies to the
data storage industry.laser-based inspection systems for semiconductor,
flat panel and computer hard disk manufacturing industries.
The financial position and results of operations of this acquisition
were immaterial in relation to those of KLA-Tencor and this transaction was
accounted for as a purchase. Further details of our acquisitions during the last
three fiscal years are incorporated by reference fromincluded in Note 3 of the Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements found under Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary
Data" in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including management issues and
costs in connection with integration of the operations, technologies, and
products of the acquired companies, possible write-downs of impaired assets, and
the potential loss of key employees of the acquired companies. 18

The inability to
manage these risks effectively could negatively impact our operating results and
financial condition.
PATENTS AND OTHER PROPRIETARY RIGHTSPatents and Other Proprietary Rights
We protect our proprietary technology through reliance on a variety of
intellectual property laws, including patent, copyright and trade secrets. We
have filed and obtained a number of patents in the United States and abroad and
intend to continue to pursue the legal protection of our technology through
intellectual property laws. In addition, from time to time we acquire license
rights under U.S. and foreign patents and other proprietary rights of third
parties.
Due to the rapid pace of innovation within the process control and
yield management systems industry, management believeswe believe that our protection of patent and
other intellectual property rights is less important than factors such as our
technological expertise, continuing development of new systems, market
penetration, installed base and the ability to provide comprehensive support and
service to customers.
No assurance can be given that patents will be issued on any of our
applications, that license assignments will be made as anticipated or that our
patents, licenses or other proprietary rights will be sufficiently broad to
protect our technology. No assurance can be given that any patents issued to or
licensed by us will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented or that the
rights granted thereunder will provide us with a competitive advantage. In
addition, there can be no assurance that we will be able to protect our
technology or that competitors will not be able to independently develop similar
or functionally competitive technology.
EMPLOYEESEmployees
As of June 30, 2001,2002, we employed a total of approximately 6,4005,700
persons. None of our employees are represented by a labor union. We have
experienced no work stoppages and believe that our employee relations are good.
Competition is intense in the recruiting of personnel in the
semiconductor and semiconductor equipment industry. We believe that our future
success will depend in part on our continued ability to hire and retain
qualified management, marketing and technical employees.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are named from time to time as a party to lawsuits in the normal
course of our business. Litigation, in general, and intellectual property and
securities litigation in particular, can be expensive and disruptive to normal
business operations. Moreover, the results of complex legal proceedings are
difficult to predict. We believe that we have defenses in each of the cases set
forth below and are vigorously contesting each of these matters.
ADE Corporation
On October 11, 2000, ADE Corporation ("ADE"), a competitor, filed a
patent infringement lawsuit against KLA-Tencor in the U.S. District Court in
Delaware. ADE claimed damages and sought an injunction under U.S. Patent No.
6,118,525.6,118,525 (`525 patent). We filed a counterclaim in the same court alleging that
ADE has infringed four of our patents. We claimedare seeking damages and a permanent
injunction against ADE. In addition, we are seeking a declaration from the
District Court that ADE's patent is invalid and not infringed by KLA-Tencor. While these
matters areOn
October 22, 2001, we filed a separate action for declaratory judgment against
ADE in the Northern District of California requesting a preliminary stagedeclaration that U.S.
Patent No. 6,292,259 (`259 patent) is invalid and not infringed. That action has
now been consolidated with the prior action in the Delaware proceeding, and ADE
has amended its complaint in that proceeding to allege that KLA-Tencor is
infringing the `259 patent. On August 8, 2002, the magistrate presiding over the
action issued a recommendation that the court enter summary judgment in favor of
KLA-Tencor on the issue of non-infringement under ADE's `525 patent. On the same
day, the magistrate issued recommendations that the court enter summary judgment
in favor of ADE on the issue of non-infringement of two of KLA-Tencor's patents.
While we cannot predict the outcome, we believe that we have valid defenses and
further believe that our counterclaims have merit.
Schlumberger,Tokyo Seimitsu Co. Ltd.
On June 27, 2001,we sued Tokyo Seimitsu Co. Ltd. and TSK America Inc.
("TSK"), a competitor, in the U.S. District Court in the Northern District of
California alleging that TSK infringes on one of the Company's patents. The suit
seeks damages and Rigg Systems, Inc.
On August 30, 1999, we were named asan injunction under U.S. Patent No. 4,805,123 (`123 patent).
TSK filed a defendantcounterclaim in the same court seeking a lawsuit in which
Schlumberger, Inc. alleges trade secret misappropriation,declaration that the `123
patent is invalid, unenforceable and not infringed, and also alleged violations
of the antitrust and unfair competition and
trade slander. On July 21, 2000, the court granted our motion for summary
judgment dismissing the case. Schlumberger, Inc. subsequently filed a motion for
reconsideration of that dismissal and its request for reconsideration was
denied. Schlumberger has now appealed. Although the outcome of these claims
cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that this legal matter
will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition even if plaintiff
prevails. On January 26, 2000, we filed a complaint against Philip Rigg, RIGG
Systems and Schlumberger, Inc. for misappropriation of trade secrets, breach of
contract, breach of fiduciary duty, interference with contract, and unfair
competition. The defendants filed cross-complaints on June 5, 2000 asserting
various statutory and common law theories. Although the outcome of these claims
cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that these legal matters
will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of
operations even if the plaintiff prevails.laws.
Although we cannot predict the outcome of these claims, management doeswe do not
believe that any of these legal matters will have a material adverse effect on
KLA-Tencor. Were an unfavorable ruling to occur in one or more of the pending
claims, there exists the possibility of a material impact on our operating
results for the period in which the ruling occurred.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of
operations should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial
Statements and the related notes included in Item 8, "Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data" in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains
forward-looking statements, which involve risk and uncertainties. Our actual
results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward looking
statements as a result of certain factors, including but not limited to those
discussed in "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this report.
RESULTSAnnual Report on Form 10-K .
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND THE USE OF OPERATIONS
KLA-Tencor Corporation isESTIMATES
The preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the world's leading supplierUnited States of process
controlAmerica
requires management to make estimates and yield management solutions forassumptions that affect the semiconductorreported
amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related microelectronics industries. Our comprehensive portfoliodisclosure of
products, software,
analysis, servicescontingent assets and expertise is designedliabilities. We based these estimates and assumptions on
historical experience, and evaluate them on an on-going basis to help integrated circuit
manufacturers manage yield throughoutensure they
remain reasonable under current conditions. Actual results could differ from
those estimates. We discuss the entire wafer fabrication process --
from researchdevelopment and developmentselection of the critical
accounting estimates with the audit committee of our board of directors on a
quarterly basis, and the audit committee has reviewed the Company's disclosure
relating to final mass production yield analysis.
In the last half of fiscal 2001, a worldwide softeningthem in demand for
semiconductors resultedthis Annual Report on Form 10-K. The items in excess capacity and reduced demand for semiconductor
manufacturing equipment. Consequently, we experienced reduced order levels and
some cancellation in orders through the last half of fiscal 2001, resulting in a
lower backlog. In fiscal Q1 2002, we expect orders to be flat to down 10%, as
compared to the prior quarter.
Despite the market fluctuations, our financial
positionstatements requiring significant estimates and judgments are as follows:
Revenue Recognition We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an
arrangement exists, the sale price is fixed or determinable, delivery has
remained
strongoccurred or services rendered, and we continue to have no long-term debt. In response to the downturncollectibility is reasonably assured. We
changed our interpretation of "delivery" based on guidance provided in the semiconductor industry, we have implemented initiatives to reduce costs and
control spending. However, we have increased our new product development by
investing in leading edge technologies and by strategic acquisitions and
alliances. These investments should position our extensive product line to
address the critical initiatives that are key to our customers.
In December 1999, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) issuedSEC Staff
Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101 "Revenue Recognition in
Financial Statements." The SEC Staff addressed several issues in(SAB 101) effective July 1, 2000. Prior to adoption
of SAB 101, including the timing of revenue recognition for sales that involve contractual
customer acceptance provisions and installation of the product if these events
occur after shipment and transfer of title. Historically we generally recognized system revenue when the product was shipped, risk of loss had passedtitle transferred to the
customer (mostly upon shipment). System revenue includes hardware and collection ofsoftware
that is incidental to the resulting receivable was probable. Under the new
accounting method adopted retroactive to July 1, 2000, we changed our method of
accounting for system sales toproduct. We now generally recognize system revenue
upon a positive affirmation by the customer that the system has been installed and
is operating according to pre-determined specifications. This positive
affirmation is generally evidenced by an acceptance document signed by the
customer. This change has the impact of prolonging the cycle time between order
placement and revenue recognition. In limited cases, we allow for exceptions
where we recognize system revenue upon shipment if acceptance is not required;
however, these exceptions have accounted for less than 2.5% of our revenue this
year. (See Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under "Revenue
Recognition" for detailed description of exceptions.)
Revenue from software license fees is typically recognized upon
shipment if collection of the fourth fiscal quarterresulting receivable is probable, the fee is fixed
or determinable, and vendor-specific objective evidence exists to allocate a
portion of 2001, we implemented the provisionstotal fee to any undelivered elements of SAB 101, retroactive to the beginningarrangement. Such
undelivered elements in these arrangements typically consist of fiscal 2001. This was reported as a cumulative effect of a
24services and/or
25
change in accounting principle as of July 1, 2000. The resultsupgrades. If vendor-specific objective evidence does not exist for the
first
three quartersundelivered elements of fiscal year ended June 30, 2001 havethe arrangement, all revenue is deferred until such
evidence does exist, or until all elements are delivered, whichever is earlier.
In instances where an arrangement to deliver software requires significant
modification or customization, license fees are recognized under the percentage
of completion method of contract accounting. Allowances are established for
potential product returns and credit losses. To date, revenue from license fees
has been restated in
accordance with SAB 101. This change resulted in a cumulativeless than 10% of total revenue.
Revenue from the sale of spare parts is recognized upon shipment.
Service and maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the
maintenance contract.
The deferred revenue
of $660.9 millionsystem profit balance as of June 30, 2000,2002 was $194
million. This amount equals the amount of deferred system revenue that was
invoiced and due on shipment and deferred under SAB 101 less applicable product
and warranty costs The deferred profit balance decreased from $422 million at
June 30, 2001 primarily because shipments were lower than revenue recognized
during fiscal 2002.
We also defer the fair value of non-standard warranty bundled with
equipment sales as unearned revenue. Non-standard warranty includes services
incremental to the standard 40-hour per week coverage for twelve months.
Non-standard warranty is recognized ratably as revenue when the applicable
warranty term period commences. The unearned revenue balance decreased from $71
million at June 30, 2001 to $55 million at June 30, 2002 primarily due to the
reduction of system revenue from fiscal 2001 to fiscal 2002.
Inventory Reserves We review the adequacy of our inventory reserves on
a quarterly basis. For production inventory, our methodology involves matching
our on-hand and on-order inventory with our build forecast over the next twelve
months. The matching is done on a part-by-part basis. We then evaluate the parts
found to be in excess of the twelve-month demand and take appropriate reserves
to reflect the risk of obsolescence. For spare parts inventory, we match our
on-hand inventory against twenty-four months of usage. We then evaluate the
parts in excess of the twenty-four month usage and take appropriate reserves to
reflect risk of obsolescence. Both methodologies are significantly affected by
the usage assumption. The longer the time period of estimated usage the less
reserves are required. Based on our past experience, we believe the
twelve-month/twenty-four month time periods best reflect the average
obsolescence risks. Given the highly cyclical nature and volatility in our
product demand and spare parts usage, we occasionally have to adjust our
reserves as actual system demand/spare parts usage varies.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts A majority of our trade receivables are
derived from sales to large multinational semiconductor manufacturers throughout
the world. In order to monitor potential credit losses, we perform ongoing
credit evaluations of our customers' financial condition. An allowance for
doubtful accounts is maintained for potential credit losses based upon our
assessment of the expected collectibility of all accounts receivable. The
allowance for doubtful accounts is reviewed periodically to assess the adequacy
of the allowance. We take into consideration (1) any circumstances of which translated intowe
are aware of a net non-cash
chargescustomer's inability to meet its financial obligations; and (2) a
certain percentage of $306.4 million (after reductionthe accounts receivable balance which is based on the age
of the receivables and our historical experience. If circumstances change, and
the financial condition of our customers were adversely affected resulting in
their inability to meet their financial obligations to us, we may need to take
additional allowances.
Warranty We provide standard warranty coverage on our systems for
income taxes of $147.5 million)
ortwelve months, providing labor and parts necessary to repair the systems during
the warranty period. We account for the estimated warranty cost as a charge to
cost of $1.59sales when revenue is recognized. The estimated warranty cost is based
on historical product performance and field expenses. Utilizing actual service
records, we calculate the average service hours and parts expense per share. Pro forma amountssystem and
apply the actual labor and overhead rates to determine the estimated warranty
charge. We update these estimated charges every six months. The actual product
performance and/or field expense profiles may differ, and in those cases we
adjust our warranty reserves accordingly. The difference between the estimated
and actual warranty costs tends to be larger for new product introductions for
which there is limited or no historical product performance on which to base the
periods beginning
before July 1, 2000 have not been presentedestimated warranty expense; more mature products with longer product performance
histories tend to be more stable in our warranty charge estimates. Non-standard
warranty includes services incremental to the standard 40-hour per week coverage
for twelve months. Non-standard warranty is deferred as unearned revenue and is
recognized ratably as revenue when the effectapplicable warranty term period
commences.
Contingencies and Litigation We are currently named as a party to
various legal proceedings, including those outlined in Part I, Item 3, "Legal
Proceedings," in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. While we currently believe the
ultimate outcome of the change in
accounting principle could not be reasonably determined.
SAB 101 adds an additional cycle time between order acceptance (booking)these proceedings, both individually and revenue. Our goal is to minimize the impact of cycle time, but our systems
are complex instruments and can require lengthy installation and integration in the fab. Therefore,aggregate,
will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or operating
results, the results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict. We
would accrue the cost of an adverse judgment if, in our estimation, the adverse
settlement is probable and we expect that SAB 101 will resultcan reasonably estimate the ultimate cost to us.
We have made no such accruals as of June 30, 2002.
Results of Operations
During fiscal 2002, we continued to face a significant downturn in the
semiconductor industry which started early in calendar year 2001. For several
quarters, there has been a slowerworldwide softening in demand for semiconductors
resulting in excess capacity and reduced demand for semiconductor manufacturing
equipment.
Revenues and Gross Margin
Product revenue ramp
when bookings are accelerating and a slower revenue decline when bookings are
decelerating.
REVENUES AND GROSS MARGIN
In fiscal 2001, revenues increased $605decreased $479 million, or 40%25%, to a record
$2.10 billion, from $1.50$1.43 billion in
fiscal 2000. Revenues of $2.102002 from $1.91 billion in fiscal 2001. Product revenue declines were
mostly the result of reduced capital spending as a result of a semiconductor
industry downturn. Product revenue in fiscal 2001 reflect KLA-Tencor's adoption of SAB 101. Inincreased $568 million, or 42%
to $1.91 billion, from $1.34 billion in fiscal 2000, revenues
increased $656 million, or 78% to $1.50 billion, from $843 million in fiscal
1999. We experienced revenue increases for two consecutive years across nearly
all product lines as a result of the
increased capital spending bycontinued recovery of new order and net sales over the previous year as major
semiconductor manufacturers expanded facilities for additional capacity and new
technology. In fiscal 2002, international revenue slightly increased to 69% of
revenue, from 67% in the prior year, due to higher demand in Japan and Western
Europe, partially offset by lower demand in Taiwan. In fiscal 2001,
international revenuesrevenue decreased to 66%67% of revenues,revenue, from 70%72% in fiscal 2000, due
to lower demand in Japan and Taiwan partially offset by higher
demand in Western Europe, Taiwan and Asia Pacific. InJapan.
Service revenue is generated from maintenance service contracts, as
well as time and material billable service calls made to our customers after the
expiration of the warranty period. Service revenues were $209 million, $196
million, and $159 million in fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000 international
revenues increasedrespectively. Service
revenue continued to 70%increase throughout the 3-year-period as our installed base
of revenues, from 60%, dueequipment at our customers' sites continued to higher demand in Taiwan,
Asia Pacific, Japangrow. The amount of service
revenue generated is generally proportional to the number of post-warranty
systems installed at our customers' sites and Western Europe.the degree of utilization of those
systems.
Gross margins as a percentage of revenues were 55%50%, 55% and 47%55% in
fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The decrease in fiscal 2002 compared
to fiscal 2001 was primarily due to reduced capacity utilization, resulting from
lower business volume and 1999, respectively.an increased percentage of revenue in the lower margin
service business, as well as factory under-absorption and higher excess
inventory write-offs due to lower business levels. The gross margin ratio in
fiscal 2001 remained flat year to year. The increase in fiscal 2000 compared to fiscal 1999
was due primarily to increased capacity utilization resulting from higher unit
volume, as well as faster growth of higher-margin product revenue.
ENGINEERING, RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT2000.
Engineering, Research and Development
Net engineering, research and development expenses were $287 million,
$356 million, and $246 million, or 18%, 17% and $165 million, or 17%, 16% and 20% of revenues in fiscal 2002,
2001, and 2000, respectively. The dollars decreased in fiscal 2002, compared to
fiscal 2001, primarily due to temporary shutdowns, management pay cuts,
reductions in temporary labor and 1999, respectively.discretionary spending as well as other cost
saving measures implemented over the last year. The dollar increase in fiscal
2001, compared to fiscal 2000, and fiscal 2000, compared to fiscal 1999, was primarily attributable to increased
investment in new technologies associated with our ongoing efforts to develop
products which address new market segments, enhancements to existing products
including next-generation 300mm products, and inspection enhancements for
sub-quarter micron technology.
Net engineering, research and development expenses were partially
offset by $14 million, $8 million $16 million and $14$16 million in external funding received
under certain strategic development programs conducted with several of our
customers and government grants in fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000, and 1999, respectively.

Our future operating results will depend significantly on our ability
to produce products and provide services that have a competitive advantage in
our marketplace. To do this, we believe that we must continue to make
substantial investments in our research and development efforts. We remain
committed to product development in new and emerging technologies as we address
the requirements of 0.18 micron and 0.13 micron feature sizes, real-time review,
and the transition to copper technology. Our investments in new technology and
existing product enhancements are intended to enable our customers to achieve a
higher return on their capital investments and higher productivity through
cost-effective, leading edge technology solutions.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVESelling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $291 million, $354
million and $268 million, or 18%, 17% and $199 million, or 17%, 18% and 24% of revenues, in fiscal 2002, 2001,
and 2000, respectively. The decrease in dollars in fiscal 2002, as compared to
fiscal 2001, was primarily due to temporary shutdowns, management pay cuts,
reductions in temporary labor and 1999, respectively.discretionary spending, as well as other cost
saving measures implemented over the last year. The increase in dollars in
fiscal 2001, as compared to fiscal 2000, was primarily due to increased costs
associated with the growth in revenues.
Non-Recurring Acquisition, Restructuring and Other Charges
The increase in dollars in fiscal 2000, as compared to fiscal 1999,
was primarily due to increases in our selling and marketing infrastructure and
commissions paid.
NON-RECURRING ACQUISITION, RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES
Non-recurringfollowing is summary of non-recurring acquisition, restructuring
and other charges (credits)
were $(2) million, $(5) million and $43 million in fiscal 2001, 2000, and 1999,
respectively. These charges (credits) are directly attributable to non-recurring
acquisition charges incurred as we continue to pursue a course of strategic
acquisitions and alliances to expand our technologies, product offerings and
distribution capabilities and to restructuring charges incurred in connection
with our fiscal 1999 and fiscal 2001 restructure plans that are offset by
non-recurring income in fiscal 2001.

Acquisitions
During the yearthree years ended June 30, 2001
In April 2001,2002, we purchased substantially allcompleted a number of
purchase acquisitions. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the
assetsoperating results of Phase
Metrics, Inc. ("Phase Metrics"),each business from the date of acquisition. Pro forma
results of operations have not been presented because the effects of these
acquisitions were not material on either an individual or aggregate basis. For a
privately held company, for a totalperiod of approximately $18.9 million in cash, including approximately $1.3 million inup to twelve months from the acquisition costs. Phase Metrics is a supplier of inspection/certification
technologies to the data storage industry. The totaldate, we may change our
original purchase price was
allocated toallocation for pre-acquisition uncertainties. After
twelve months, we record the net tangible assets of $13.1 million, identifiable intangible
assets of $4.9 million, in-process research and development of $0.7 million, on
the basis of their relative fair values, with the excess of $0.2 million to
goodwill.
In-process research and development represented the value of products
that were not considered to have reached technological feasibility. To determine
the value of the in-process technology of the fiscal 2001 acquisition, the
expected future cash flows attributable to the in-process technology were
discounted at 30%, taking into account the percentage of completion, utilization
of pre-existing technology, risks related to the characteristics and
applications of the technology, existing and future markets, and technological
risk associated with completing the development of the technology.such reasonably estimable
contingencies.
The valuation
approach used was a form of discounted cash flow
26

approach commonly known as the "percentage of completion" approach whereby the
cash flows from the technology are multiplied by the percentage of completion of
the in-process technology.
Non-recurring acquisition charges for the year ended June 30, 2000
In March 2000, we purchased the assets and related technology of Fab
Solutions, a division of ObjectSpace, Inc. for an aggregate purchase price of $8
million. Fab Solutions is a leading provider of advanced process control
software solutions used to respond to yield-impacting parametric data in
near-real time. We recorded a charge of $0.8 million for purchased in-process
research and development, representing the appraised value of products that were
not considered to have reached technological feasibility.
In February 2000, we acquired software developer FINLE Technologies,
Inc., a supplier of lithography modeling and data analysis software used to
speed development of advanced lithography processes required to develop and
produce integrated circuits with 0.12 micron and smaller geometries, for an
aggregate purchase price of $5 million. We recorded a charge of $0.5 million for
purchased in-process research and development, representing the appraised value
of products that were not considered to have reached technological feasibility.
In November 1999, we acquired software developer ACME Systems, Inc., a
leading supplier of yield engineering analysis software used to correlate
parametric electrical test and wafer sort yield data with in-line work in
process and metrology data, for an aggregate purchase price of $6.9 million. We
recorded a charge of $1.9 million for purchased in-process research and
development, representing the appraised value of products that were not
considered to have reached technological feasibility.
To determine the value of the in-process technology of the fiscal 2000
acquisitions, the expected future cash flow attributable to the in-process
technology was discounted, taking into account the percentage of completion,
utilization of pre-existing technology, risks related to the characteristics and
applications of the technology, existing and future markets, and technological
risk associated with completing the development of the technology. The valuation
approach used was a form of discounted cash flow approach commonly known as the
"percentage of completion" approach whereby the cash flows from the technology
are multiplied by the percentage of completion of the in-process technology. In
each acquisition, the value of tangible net assets acquired was nominal.
Non-recurring acquisition charges for the year ended June 30, 1999
In December 1998, we purchased assets and related technology from
Uniphase Corporation for an aggregate purchase price of $3 million. The confocal
laser review station technology acquired is currently used for analysis of
defects on silicon wafers. Assets acquired of $3 million consisted primarily of
inventory.
In November 1998, we purchased assets and technology from Keithley
Instruments, Inc. for an aggregate purchase price of $10 million. The corona
wire gate oxide monitoring tool technology
27
28
we acquired had not yet reached the alpha stage and the cost to complete the
development of this equipment was estimated at the time of acquisition to be $1
million. We recorded a charge of $8 million for purchased in-process research
and development, representing the appraised value of products that were not
considered to have reached technological feasibility.
In June 1998, we acquired Groff Associates, Inc. (dba VARS Inc.) for an
aggregate purchase price of $13 million. The digital and in-line-monitoring
image archiving retrieval software technology we acquired had not yet reached
the alpha stage and the cost to complete the development of these software
products was estimated at the time of acquisition to be $2 million. We recorded
a charge of $13 million for purchased in-process research and development,
representing the appraised value of products that were not considered to have
reached technological feasibility.
In May 1998 we acquired DeviceWare, Inc., a company in its development
stage, for an aggregate purchase price of $3 million. The bit mapping defect
characterization technology acquired had not yet reached the alpha stage and the
cost to complete the development of this software product was estimated at the
time of acquisition to be $1 million. We recorded a charge of $3 million for
purchased in-process research and development, representing the appraised value
of product that was not considered to have reached technological feasibility.
For each of the above three fiscal 1999 transactions, the appraised
value under the income approach used for our calculation did not differ
materially from the result under the percentage of completion approach preferred
by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The value of the tangible net assets
acquired was nominal.
Each of the above acquisitions was accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting and the developmental products acquired were evaluated in
the context of Interpretation 4 of SFAS 2 and SFAS 86. The allocation of the
purchase priceamounts allocated to in-process research and development
cost was("in-process R&D") were determined by
identifying research projectsthrough established valuation techniques in
areas for which technologicalthe high-technology equipment industry and were expensed upon acquisition
because technology feasibility had not been established and no future
alternative future uses existed. Substantially allAmounts allocated to goodwill and purchased intangible
assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over periods not exceeding five
years.
A summary of purchase transactions is outlined as follows (in

(1) With the acquisition of QC Optics, we received certain intellectual property in laser-based inspection systems for the
semiconductor, flat panel and computer hard disk manufacturing industries.
(2) We acquired certain assets and technology of Phase Metrics, the leading supplier of inspection/certification products in
the data storage industry.
(3) Fab solutions provided us with APC software, allowing our customers to automatically compensate for variances in the IC
manufacturing process.
(4) With the Finle acquisition, we developed our Klarity ProDATA lithography data analysis software, which combined with the
PROLITH lithography data analysis software, helps our customers reduce their advanced lithography development time and cost.
(5) ACME's technology enabled us to develop the Klarity ACE product which helps our customers quickly identify the source of
defects and process problems fab-wide.
The difference between the purchase price and the goodwill, intangibles
and in-process R&D represents amount allocated to the net tangible assets
acquired. No deferred stock-based compensation has been recorded for any of the
in-process research and development projects acquired were expected to be
complete and generating revenues within the 24 months following the acquisition
date.
Development of acquired technologies remains a significant risk due to
the remaining effort required to achieve technical feasibility, rapidly changing
customer markets and significant competitive threats from numerous companies.
Failure to bring any of these products to market in a timely manner could
adversely affect our sales and profitability in the future. Additionally, the
value of net assets and other intangible assets acquired may become impaired.acquisitions.
Restructuring and Other Charges
(Credits)
DuringIn fiscal 2002, there were no restructuring charges. In fiscal 2001, in
response to the downturn in the semiconductor industry, we implemented a
restructuring plan to controlreduce spending. OurCharges related to our restructuring plan
included three main categories:included: facilities of $4.7 million, severance and benefits of $1.6 million,
and other costs of $1.0 million. Due to our downsizing and consolidation of
certain of our operations, we will vacatevacated two of
28
29 our leased office buildings and have
included the remaining net book value of the related leasehold improvements as
well as the future lease payments, net of anticipated sublease revenue in the
charge. We have reduced our workforce by approximately 5%, primarily in the
manufacturing areas, and recorded severance charges related to these
terminations. In addition, during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2001, KLA-Tencorwe sold
software and intellectual property associated with itsour iSupport(TM) on-line
customer support technology and recorded $10.0 million pretax, non-recurring
income, which was netted with the other non-recurring charges. During fiscal 1999, we implemented a restructuring plan to address the
impact on our business of the downturn in the semiconductor industry. Estimated
restructuring costs of $35 million were classified in four main categories:
facilities, inventory, severance and benefits, and other restructuring costs.
Facilities costs of $12 million included $8 million for lease expense resulting
from consolidation and closure of certain offices located primarily in the
United States and Japan; $3 million for leasehold improvements impaired in those
facilities; and $1 million in other facilities-related exit costs.
Inventory-related costs of $10 million resulted from impaired assets related to
unique parts and non-cancelable purchase commitments of certain development
programs, which were terminated asAs part of the
realignment and streamliningiSupport(TM) transaction, we will record a non-recurring gain of our product lines. Severance and benefit-related costs ofapproximately
$15 million in the quarter ending September 30, 2002. During fiscal 2000, we
reversed $8 million included
involuntary termination of approximately 250 personnel from manufacturing,
engineering, sales, marketing, and administration throughout the United States,
Japan and Europe. Other restructuring costs of $5 million related primarily to
the write-off of software licenses and related non-cancelable maintenance
contracts for closed locations. During fiscal year 2000, KLA-Tencor management
determinedreserve that $7.8 million of the restructure reserve would not be utilized because
of a change in management's plans for utilization of certain facilities
resulting from an increase in demand for our products.
As of June 30, 2002, the Company's products. Accordingly,remaining balance of the restructuring reserve

The semiconductor equipment industry that we operate in the determination of income
from operations for the year ended June 30, 2000.
INTEREST INCOME AND OTHER, NETis a highly
cyclical industry. This cyclical nature affects our ability to accurately
predict future revenue and, thus, future expense levels. We are currently in a
down cycle, and if this current down cycle continues to linger, we may need to
take appropriate actions to scale operating expenses to our business levels.
Interest Income and Other, Net
Interest income and other, net was $43 million, $54 million $42 million and $61$42
million in fiscal 2002, 2001, 2000, and 1999,2000, respectively. Interest income and other,
net is comprised primarily of gains realized on sales of marketable securities,
interest income earned on the investment and cash portfolio and income
recognized upon settlement of certain foreign currency contracts. The decrease
in fiscal 2002 as compared to fiscal 2001 was primarily due to decreased
interest income resulting from declining interest rates. The increase in fiscal
2001 as compared to fiscal 2000 was primarily due to increased interest income
resulting from higher interest rate and higher average investment balances.
The decrease in fiscal 2000 as compared to fiscal 1999 was
primarily due to $17 million in gains realized on the sale of equity securities
held in former supplier company in fiscal 1999.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXESProvision for Income Taxes
KLA-Tencor's effective income tax rate was 27%25%, 28%27% and 22%28% in fiscal
2002, 2001 2000 and 1999,2000, respectively. In general, our effective income tax rate
differs from the statutory rate of 35% largely as a function of benefits
realized from our Foreign Sales Corporation,Extraterritorial Income (`ETI") exclusion, research and
development tax credits and income derived from tax exempt interest.
The overall reduction in our effective income tax rate from fiscal 2001
to fiscal 2002 of 2%, was the result of a combination of factors. Most
importantly, more export sales benefits, more tax-exempt interest income and
foreign taxes. During
fiscal
29
30
1999, income relatedless state tax expense compared relatively to tax exempt interest increasedthese same items as a componentpercentage
of total
netfiscal 2001 pre-tax income, reduced the rate. These reductions were partially
offset by more relative foreign tax expense. The overall reduction in addition to the impact of restructuring, which resulted in a
significantly lowerour
effective income tax rate as comparedfrom fiscal 2000 to fiscal 2000 and 2001.2001 was primarily due to a
shift in the geographic composition of our pre-tax income.
Our future effective income tax rate depends on various factors, such
as tax legislation, the geographic composition of our pre-tax income, non-tax
deductible expenses incurred in connection with acquisitions, amounts of
tax-exempt interest income and research and development credits as a percentage
of aggregate pre-tax income, and the effectiveness of our tax planning
strategies.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCESLiquidity and Capital Resources
Working capital was $932 million as of June 30, 2002, compared to $913
million as of June 30, 2001 compared to $1.06
billion as of June 30, 2000.2001. Cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable
securities increasedat June 30, 2002 decreased to $697$673 million from $598$697 million at June
30, 2000.2001. In addition, we maintained $450$660 million and $366$447 million in marketable
securities classified as long-term as of June 30, 2002 and 2001, and 2000, respectively.
KLA-Tencor has historically financed its operations through cash
generated from operations. Cash provided by operating activities was $284
million, $408 million, $253 million,
and $122$253 million in fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000,
respectively. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities in fiscal
2002 compared to fiscal 2001 was primarily due to decreased income before the
cumulative effect of accounting change and 1999, respectively.lower accounts payable, partially
offset by lower accounts receivable and inventory balances. Income before
cumulative effect of accounting change decreased in fiscal 2002, compared to
fiscal 2001, primarily due to declining revenues and gross margins partially
offset by decreased engineering, selling, general and administrative expenses
associated with cost saving measures in response to the industry slowdown.
Accounts payable shrank due to decreased expenditures and lower incoming
invoices. Accounts receivable declined primarily due to strong collection
efforts, as well as lower shipments. The reduction in inventory was driven
primarily in production inventory, where stringent processes have been put in
place for managing material procurement. The increase in cash provided by
operating activities in fiscal 2001 compared to fiscal 2000 was primarily due to
increased income before cumulative effect of accounting change,
lowerrevenue growth and strong collection in accounts receivable, and increased other current liabilities, partially offset by
increased inventory decreased deferred profit and deferred income
taxes. The increase in cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 2000
compared to fiscal 1999 was primarily due to the increase in net incomeexpenditure and other current liabilities, offset by increased levels ofpurchases. During fiscal 2002 and
2001, we sold trade notes and accounts receivable inventoriesfrom Japanese customers. At
June 30, 2002 and deferred taxes.2001, $48 million and $52 million, respectively, of these
receivables and notes were outstanding, which have not been included in our
consolidated balance sheet as the criteria for sale treatment established by
SFAS 140 have been met. Under SFAS 140, after a transfer of financial assets, an
entity derecognizes financial assets when control has been surrendered, and
derecognizes liabilities when extinguished.
Cash used in investing activities was $376 million, $295 million $96 million and
$38$96 million in fiscal 2002, 2001 2000 and 1999,2000, respectively. Investing activities
typically consist of purchases and sales or maturitymaturities of marketable securities,
purchases of capital assets to support long-term growth and acquisitions of
technology or other companies to allow access to new market segments or emerging
technologies. Additions of capital assets consist mainly of the planned
completion of our Livermore facilities. We anticipate capital expenditures in
fiscal 2003 to be significantly lower compared to fiscal 2002 due to the
completion of the Livermore facilities in fiscal 2002.
We used $9 million and $58 million of cash in financing activities in
fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2001, respectively, and generated $61 million in fiscal
2000 and used $16 million in fiscal 1999.2000. Financing activities typically include sales and repurchases of our common
stock, as well as borrowings and repayments of debt. Repurchases of common
stock, net of issuance, used $8 million and $60 million in fiscal 2002 and
fiscal 2001, respectively. Issuance of common stock, net of repurchases,
used $60 million in fiscal 2001, provided $79 million in fiscal 2000 and used $7 million in fiscal 1999.
During fiscal 2001 and 2000, we sold trade notes and accounts receivable
from Japanese customers. At June 30, 2001 and 2000, $52.4 million and $51.9
million, respectively, of these receivables were outstanding.
During fiscal 1998, we entered into certain lease arrangements in
Milpitas and San Jose, California. In connection with these agreements, we have
a contingent liability to the lessor for $100 million in residual value
guarantees of the properties under lease. The impact of these agreements is not
expected to be material to our liquidity.
30
312000.
We have adopted a plan for the systematic repurchase of shares of our
common stock in the open market to reduce the dilution created by our
stock-based employee benefit and incentive plans. In fiscal 2002, we repurchased
3,341,000 shares of our common stock at an average price of $36.89 per share,
for a total of $123 million. In fiscal 2001, we repurchased 4,580,000 shares of
our common stock at an average price of $33.54 per share, for a total cash outlay of $154
million. In fiscal 2000, we repurchased 520,000 shares of our common stock at an
average price of $53.80 per share, for a total cash outlay of $28 million. In fiscal 1999, we repurchased 2,152,000 shares of
our common stock at an average price of $22.66 per share, for a total cash
outlay of $49 million. Since the
inception of the repurchase program in 1997 through June 30, 2001,2002, we have
repurchased a total of 8,008,00011,349,000 shares at an average price of $30.77$32.57 per
share. All such shares remain as treasury shares.
Certain of our leased facilities qualify for operating lease accounting
treatment under SFAS 13, "Accounting for Leases," and, as such, the facilities
are not included on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The lease agreement for certain Milpitas and San Jose, California
facilities has a term of five years ending in November 2002, with an option to
extend up to two more years. Monthly payments under this lease vary based upon
the London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR) plus 0.42%. Under the terms of the
lease, we, at our option, can acquire the properties at their original cost or
arrange for the properties to be acquired. Under the terms of the lease, we must
maintain compliance with certain financial covenants. As of the date of filing
of this 10-K, we were in compliance with all of tour bank covenants, including
the financial covenants. If we purchase these Milpitas and San Jose, California
facilities at the end of the lease term, the purchase transactions would
increase land and property value by approximately $119.3 million and decrease
cash by approximately the same amount. Consequently, depreciation expense would
increase by approximately $4.3 million per year, rent expense would decrease by
approximately $2.9 million per year, and interest income would decrease by
approximately $3.6 million per year, based on current interest rates. If we
choose not to purchase the facilities, we will be liable to the lessor for
residual value guarantees of an aggregate of up to approximately $100.2 million.
Based on current market conditions, we do not believe that we will have to make
any significant payments associated with the residual value guarantees.
At June 30, 2001,2002, our principleprincipal sources of liquidity consisted of $1.15$1.33
billion of cash, cash equivalents, and investments. Our liquidity is affected by
many factors, some of which are based on the normal ongoing operations of the
business, and others of which relate to the uncertainties of global economies
and the semiconductor and the semiconductor equipment industries. Although cash
requirements will fluctuate based on the timing and extent of these factors, our
management believes that cash generated from operations, together with the
liquidity provided by existing cash balances, will be sufficient to satisfy our
liquidity requirements for the next 12twelve months.
The following is a schedule summarizing KLA-Tencor significant
commitments as of June 30, 2002 (in millions):
Payments Due by Period
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Total 1 year 2-3 years 3-4 years Over 5 years
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Lease at maturity 100.2 100.2 - - -
---------------------------------------------------------------------
$ 120.2 $ 109.6 $ 8.2 $ 1.4 $ 1.0
=====================================================================
Additionally, we maintain certain open inventory purchase commitments
with our suppliers to ensure a smooth and continuous supply chain for key
components. Our liability in these purchase commitments is generally restricted
to a forecasted time-horizon as mutually agreed upon between the parties. This
forecast time-horizon can vary amongst different suppliers. As such, it is
difficult to accurately report our true open commitments at any particular point
in time. However, we estimate our open inventory purchase commitment as of June
30, 2002 to be no more than $60 million.
FACTORS AFFECTING RESULTS, INCLUDING RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Fluctuations in Operating Results and Stock Price
Our operating results have varied widely in the past, and our future
operating results will continue to be subject to quarterly variations based upon
a wide variety of factors, including those listed in this section and throughout
this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition, future operating results may not
follow any past trends. We believe the factors that could make our results
fluctuate and difficult to predict include:
o the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry;
o the reduction in the price and the profitability of our products;changing global economic conditions;
o our timing of new product introductions;competitive pressure;
o our ability to develop and implement new technologies;technologies and introduction
of new products;
o the change in customers' schedules for fulfillment of orders;our ability to manage our manufacturing requirements;
o the cancellation of contracts by major customers;intellectual property protection;
o the shortage of qualified workers in the areas in which we operate; and
o our ability to manage our manufacturing requirements.
31
32worldwide political instability.
Operating results also could be affected by sudden changes in customer
requirements, currency exchange rate fluctuations and other economic conditions
affecting customer demand and the cost of operations in one or more of the
global markets in which we do business. As a result of these or other factors,
we could fail to achieve our expectations as to future revenues, gross profit
and income from operations. Our failure to meet the performance expectations set
and published by external sources could result in a sudden and significant drop
in the price of our stock, particularly on a short-term basis, and could
negatively affect the value of any investment in our stock.
Semiconductor Equipment Industry Volatility
The semiconductor equipment industry is highly cyclical. The purchasing
decisions of our customers are highly dependent on the economies of both the
local markets in which they are located and the semiconductor industry
worldwide. The timing, length and severity of the up-and-down cycles in the
semiconductor equipment industry are difficult to predict. This cyclical nature
of the industry in which we operate affects our ability to accurately predict
future revenuesrevenue and, thus, future expense levels. When cyclical fluctuations
result in lower than expected revenue levels, operating results may be adversely
affected and cost reduction measures may be necessary in order for us to remain
competitive and financially sound. During a down cycle, we must be in a position
to adjust our cost and expense structure to prevailing market conditions and to
continue to motivate and retain our key employees. In addition, during periods
of rapid growth, we must be able to increase manufacturing capacity and
personnel to meet customer demand. We can provide no assurance that these
objectives can be met in a timely manner in response to industry cycles. If we
fail to respond to industry cycles, our business could be seriously harmed.
Currently, we are in an industry down cycle. We are not able to predict
when the semiconductor industry will recover. During a down cycle, the
semiconductor industry typically experiences excess production capacity that
causes semiconductor manufacturers to decrease capital spending. We generally do
not have long-term volume production contracts with our customers, and we do not
control the timing or volume of orders placed by our customers. Whether and to
what extent our customers place orders for any specific products, as well as the
mix and quantities of products included in those orders, are factors beyond our
control. Insufficient orders, especially in our down cycles, will result in
under-utilization of our manufacturing facilities and infrastructure and will
negatively affect our operating results and financial condition.
International Trade and Economic Conditions
Ours isWe serve an increasingly global market. A majority of our annual
revenues are derived from outside the United States, and we expect that
international revenues will continue to represent a substantial percentage of
our revenues. Our international revenues and operations are affected by economic
conditions specific to each country and region. Because of our significant
dependence on international revenues, a decline in the economies of any of the
countries or regions in which we do business could negatively affect our
operating results.
Managing global operations and sites located throughout the world
presents challenges associated with, among other things, cultural diversity and
organizational alignment. Moreover, each region in the global semiconductor
equipment market exhibits unique characteristics that can 32
33
cause capital
equipment investment patterns to vary significantly from period to period.
Periodic local or international economic downturns, trade balance issues,
political instability in regions where we have operations, such as Israel, and
fluctuations in interest and currency exchange rates could negatively affect our
business and results of operations. Although we attempt to manage near-term
currency risks through the use of hedging instruments, there can be no assurance
that such efforts will be adequate.
Competition
Our industry includes large manufacturers with substantial resources to
support customers worldwide. Our future performance depends, in part, upon our
ability to continue to compete successfully worldwide. Some of our competitors
are diversified companies with greater financial resources and more extensive
research, engineering, manufacturing, marketing and customer service and support
capabilities than we can provide. We face competition from companies whose
strategy is to provide a broad array of products and services, some of which
compete with the products and services that we offer. These competitors may
bundle their products in a manner that may discourage customers from purchasing
our products. In addition, we face competition from smaller emerging
semiconductor equipment companies whose strategy is to provide a portion of the
products and services which we offer, using innovative technology to sell
products into specialized markets. Loss of competitive position could negatively
impact our prices, customer orders, revenues, gross margins, and market share,
any of which would negatively affect our operating results and financial
condition. Our failure to compete successfully with these other companies would
seriously harm our business.
Technological Change and Customer Requirements
Success in the semiconductor equipment industry depends, in part, on
continual improvement of existing technologies and rapid innovation of new
solutions. For example, the semiconductor industry continues to shrink the size
of semiconductor devices which increasing wafer size and has begun to
commercialize the process of copper-based interconnects. These and other
evolving customer needs require us to respond with continued development
programs and to cut back or discontinue older programs, which may no longer have
industry-wide support. Technical innovations are inherently complex and require
long development cycles and appropriate professional staffing. Our competitive
advantage and future business success depend on our ability to accurately
predict evolving industry standards, to develop and introduce new products which
successfully address changing customer needs, to win market acceptance of these
new products and to manufacture these new products in a timely and
cost-effective manner. If we do not develop and introduce new products and
technologies in a timely manner in response to changing market conditions or
customer requirements, our business could be seriously harmed.
In this environment, we must continue to make significant investments
in research and development in order to enhance the performance and
functionality of our products, to keep pace with competitive products and to
satisfy customer demands for improved performance, features and functionality.
There can be no assurance that revenues from future products or product
enhancements will be sufficient to recover the development costs associated with
such products or
33
34 enhancements or that we will be able to secure the financial
resources necessary to fund future development. Substantial research and
development costs typically are incurred before we confirm the technical
feasibility and commercial viability of a product, and not all development
activities result in commercially viable products. In addition, we cannot ensure
that these products or enhancements will receive market acceptance or that we
will be able to sell these products at prices that are favorable to us. Our
business will be seriously harmed if we are unable to sell our products at
favorable prices or if our products are not accepted by the market in which we
operate.
Key Suppliers
We use a wide range of materials in the production of our products,
including custom electronic and mechanical components, and we use numerous
suppliers to supply materials. We generally do not have guaranteed supply
arrangements with our suppliers. Because of the variability and uniqueness of
customers' orders, we do not maintain an extensive inventory of materials for
manufacturing. We seek to minimize the risk of production and service
interruptions and/or shortages of key parts by selecting and qualifying
alternative suppliers for key parts, monitoring the financial stability of key
suppliers and maintaining appropriate inventories of key parts. Although we make
reasonable efforts to ensure that parts are available from multiple suppliers,
key parts may be available only from a single supplier or a limited group of
suppliers. There can be no assurance that our
suppliers.Our business will notwould be harmed if we do not receive sufficient parts to
meet our production requirements in a timely and cost-effective manner.
Manufacturing Disruption
Operations at our primary manufacturing facilities and our assembly
subcontractors are subject to disruption for a variety of reasons, including
work stoppages, terrorism, fire, earthquake, energy shortages, flooding or other
natural disasters. In addition, last year California suffered from a severe
energy shortage, causing rolling blackouts throughout the state. In recent
months there has also been a marked increase in hostility in the Middle East.
Such disruption could cause delays in shipments of products to our customers. We
cannot ensure that alternate production capacity would be available if a major
disruption were to occur or that, if it were available, it could be obtained on
favorable terms. Such a disruption could result in cancellation of orders or
loss of customers and could seriously harm our business.
Intellectual Property Obsolescence and Infringement
Our success is dependent in part on our technology and other
proprietary rights. We own various United States and international patents and
have additional pending patent applications relating to some of our products and
technologies. The process of seeking patent protection is lengthy and expensive,
and we cannot be certain that pending or future applications will actually
result in issued patents or that issued patents will be of sufficient scope or
strength to provide meaningful protection or commercial advantage to us. Other
companies and individuals, including our larger competitors, may develop
technologies that are similar or superior to our technology or may design around
the patents we own.
We also maintain trademarks on certain of our products and services and
claim copyright protection for certain proprietary software and documentation.
However, we can give no assurance that our trademarks and copyrights will be
upheld or successfully deter infringement by third parties.
34
35
While patent, copyright and trademark protection for our intellectual
property is important, we believe our future success in highly dynamic markets
is most dependent upon the technical competence and creative skills of our
personnel. We attempt to protect our trade secrets and other proprietary
information through confidentiality and other agreements with our customers,
suppliers, employees and consultants and through other security measures. We also rely on trade secret
protection for our technology, in part through confidentiality agreements with
our employees, consultants and third parties. We
also maintain exclusive and non-exclusive licenses with third parties for
strategic technology used in certain products. However, these employees,
consultants and third parties may breach these agreements, and we may not have
adequate remedies for wrongdoing. In addition, the laws of certain territories
in which we develop, manufacture or sell our products may not protect our
intellectual property rights to the same extent, as do the laws of the United
States.
As is typical in the semiconductor equipment industry, from time to
time we have received communications from other parties asserting the existence
of patent rights, copyrights, trademark rights or other intellectual property
rights which they believe cover certain of our products, processes, technologies
or information. Our customary practice is to evaluate such assertions and to
consider whether to seek licenses where appropriate. However, we cannot ensure
that licenses can be obtained or, if obtained, will be on acceptable terms or
that costly litigation or other administrative proceedings will not occur. The
inability to obtain necessary licenses or other rights on reasonable terms could
seriously harm our operating results and financial condition.
Key Employees
Our employees are vital to our success, and our key management,
engineering and other employees are difficult to replace. We generally do not
have employment contracts with our key employees. Further, we do not maintain
key person life insurance on any of our employees. The expansion of high
technology companies worldwide has increased demand and competition for
qualified personnel. We mayIf we are unable to retain key personnel, or if we are not be
able to attract, assimilate or retain additional highly qualified employees to
meet our needs in the future.future, our business and operations could be harmed. These
factors could seriously harm our business.
Acquisitions
We seekIn addition to our efforts to develop new technologies from both internal
andsources, we also seek to acquire new technologies from external sources. As part
of this effort, we may make acquisitions of, or significant investments in,
businesses with complementary products, services and/or technologies.
Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including management issues and costs in
connection with the integration of the operations and personnel, technologies
and products of the acquired companies, the possible write-downs of impaired
assets, and the potential loss of key employees of the acquired companies. The
inability to manage these risks effectively could seriously harm our business.
Litigation
From time to time we are involved in litigation of various types,
including litigation that alleges infringement of intellectual property rights
and other claims. Litigation tends to be expensive and requires significant
management time and attention.attention and could have a negative effect on our results of
operations or business if we lose or have to settle a case on significantly
adverse terms. If we lose in a dispute concerning
35
36 intellectual property, a court
could require us to pay substantial damages and/or royalties or could issue an
injunction prohibiting us from using essential technologies. For these and other
reasons, this type of litigation could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations. Also, although we may
seek to obtain a license under a third party's intellectual property rights in
order to bring an end to certain claims or actions asserted against us, we may
not be able to obtain such a license on reasonable terms or at all.
Regional Electric Shortages
Recently, California has been experiencing a shortageTerrorism and Political Instability
The threat of electric power
supply that has resultedterrorism targeted at the regions of the world in intermittent loss of powerwhich
we do business, including the United States, increases the uncertainty in some areasour
markets and may delay any recovery in the formgeneral economy. Any delay in the
recovery of rolling blackouts. While we have not experienced any power failures to date,the economy and the semiconductor industry could seriously impact
our business.
Increased international political instability, as demonstrated by the
September 2001 terrorist attacks, disruption in air transportation and further
enhanced security measures as a blackoutresult of the September 2001 terrorist attacks,
the conflict in Afghanistan and the increasing tension in the Middle East, may
affecthinder our ability to manufacture productsdo business and meet scheduled
deliveries. If blackouts weremay increase our costs of operations. To
the extent this instability continues or otherwise increases, we could incur
increased costs in transportation, make such transportation unreliable, increase
insurance costs, and cause international currency markets to interruptfluctuate. This
same instability could have the same effects on our power supply, we would be
temporarily unable to continue operations at some of our facilities. Any such
interruption in oursuppliers and their ability
to continue operations at our facilities could
damage our reputation, harm our ability to retain existing customers and to
obtain new customers, and could result in lost revenue, any of which could
substantially harmtimely deliver their products. If this international political instability
continues or increases, our business and results of operations.
Euro Conversion
A new European currency was implemented commencing in January 1999 to
replace the separate currenciesoperations could be harmed.
Effects of eleven western European countries. This
requires changes in our operations as we modify systems and commercial
arrangements to deal with the new currency. Modifications are necessary in
operations such as payroll, benefits and pension systems, contracts with
suppliers and customers, and internal financial reporting systems. During the
three-year transition period in which transactions may also be made in the old
currencies, we must maintain dual currency processes for our operations. We have
identified the issues created by this problem, and the cost of this effort is
not expected to have a material effect on our business or results of operations.
We cannot be certain, however, that all problems will be foreseen and corrected
or that no material disruption of our business will occur as a result of this
currency change.
EFFECTS OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTSRecent Accounting Pronouncements
In JulyAugust 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
FASB Statements Nos. 141 and 142 (SFAS 141 and SFAS 142), "Business
Combinations" and "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," respectively. SFAS 141
replaces APB 16 and eliminates pooling-of-interests accounting prospectively. It
also provides guidance on purchase accounting related to the recognition of
intangible assets and accounting for negative goodwill. SFAS 142 changes the
accounting for goodwill from an amortization method to an impairment-only
approach. Under SFAS 142, goodwill will be tested annually and whenever events
or circumstances occur indicating that goodwill might be impaired. SFAS 141 and
SFAS 142 are required to be adopted for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2001 but must be applied to all business combinations completed after June
30, 2001. Upon adoption of SFAS 142, amortization of goodwill recorded for
business combinations consummated prior to July 1, 2001 will cease, and
intangible assets acquired prior to July 1, 2001 that do not meet the criteria
for recognition under SFAS 141 will be reclassified to goodwill.
36
37
Companies are required to adopt SFAS 142 for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2001, but early adoption is permitted. In connection with the
adoption of SFAS 142, we will be required to perform a transitional goodwill
impairment assessment. We are currently studying these standards and have not
yet determined what impact they will have on our results of operations and
financial position.
In August 2001, the FASB issued
Statement No. 143 ("SFAS 143"), "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,"
which is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. SFAS 143
applies to all entities and addresses financial accounting and reporting for
obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the
associated asset retirement costs. The Statement applies to all
entities. It applies to legal obligations associated
with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition,
construction, development, and (or)and/or the normal operation of a long-lived asset,
except for certain obligations of lessees. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS
143 will have a significant impact on our financial position and results of
operations.
In October 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 144 ("SFAS 144"),
"Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS 144
addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment of long-lived
assets and for long-lived assets to be disposed. SFAS 144 will be effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. We are currently evaluating the
impact of SFAS 144, but do not expect that our adoption on July 1, 2002 will
have a material effect on our financial statements.
In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 146 ("SFAS 146"),
"Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS 146
addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or
disposal activities, and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No.
94-3, Liabilities Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and
Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a
Restructuring). This Statement requires that a liability for costs associated
with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured initially at fair
value only when the liability is incurred. SFAS 146 will be effective for exit
or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The standard
will in certain circumstances change the timing of recognition of restructuring
costs.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to financial market risks, including changes in interest
rates, foreign currency exchange rates and marketable equity security prices. To
mitigate these risks, we utilize derivative financial instruments. We do not use
derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. All of the
potential changes noted below are based on sensitivity analyses performed on our
financial position at June 30, 2001.2002. Actual results may differ materially.
At the end of fiscal 2001,2002, we had an investment portfolio of fixed
income securities of $575$883 million, excluding those classified as cash and cash
equivalents (Detail(detail of these securities is incorporated by reference fromincluded in Note 4 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements found under Item 8, "Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data" in this Annual Report on Form 10-K). These securities, as
with all fixed income instruments, are subject to interest rate risk and will
fall in value if market interest rates increase. If market interest rates were
to increase immediately and uniformly by 10% from levels as of June 30, 2001,2002,
the fair value of the portfolio would declinehave declined by $5$6 million.
As of June 30, 20012002, we had net forward contracts to sell $159$115 million
in foreign currency in order to hedge currency exposures (Detail(detail of these
contracts is incorporated by reference from Note 1 of the Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements found under Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary
Data" in this Annual Report on Form 10-K)"Derivative Instruments". If we had
entered into these contracts on June 30, 2001,2002, the U.S. dollar equivalent would
be $151 million.
The fair market value we would have received if we had sold the contracts on
June 30, 2001, would have been $8$124 million. A 10% adverse move in currency exchange rates affecting the
contracts would decrease the fair value of the contracts by $19$15 million.
However, if this occurred, the fair value of the underlying exposures hedged by
the contracts would increase by a similar amount. Accordingly, we believe that
the hedging of our foreign currency exposure should have no material impact toon
income or cash flows.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
DESCRIPTION OF OPERATIONS AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATIONDescription of Operations and Principles of Consolidation KLA-Tencor
Corporation ("KLA-Tencor") is a global provider of process control and yield
management solutions for the semiconductor manufacturing and related
microelectronics industries. Headquartered in San Jose, California, KLA-Tencor
has subsidiaries both in the United States and in key markets throughout the
world.
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of
KLA-Tencor and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated.
MANAGEMENT ESTIMATESManagement Estimates The preparation of the Consolidated Financial
Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSFair Value of Financial Instruments KLA-Tencor has evaluated the
estimated fair value of financial instruments using available market information
and valuation methodologies. The amounts reported as investments and bank
borrowings reasonably estimate theiruse of different market assumptions and/or
estimation methodologies could have a significant effect on the estimated fair
value.value amounts. The fair value of KLA-Tencor's cash, cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximates theapproximate their
carrying amountamounts due to the relatively short maturity of these items.
CASH EQUIVALENTSCash Equivalents Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments
that are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value, and have
maturity dates of three months or less from the date of acquisition.
MARKETABLE SECURITIESMarketable Securities Short-term marketable securities include debt and
equity securities acquired with maturities exceeding three months but less than
one year from the date of acquisition. Non-current marketable securities include
debt and equity securities acquired with maturities exceeding one year from the
date of
acquisition.reporting date. While KLA-Tencor's intent is to hold debt securities to
maturity,
consistent with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," KLA-Tencor has classified all debt securities and all investments in
equity securities that have readily determinable fair values as
available-for-sale, as the sale of such securities may be required prior to
maturity to implement management strategies. Such securities are reported at
fair value determined based on quoted market prices at the reporting date for
those instruments, with unrealized gains or losses excluded from earnings and
included in "Accumulated other comprehensive income," net of applicable taxes,
until realized. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific
identification method. Realized gains or losses and declines in value, if any,
judged to be other than temporary are reported in "Interest income and other,
net" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
43
44
INVENTORIESInventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (on a first-in,
first-out basis) or market. Demonstration units are stated at their
manufacturing cost and reserves are recorded to state the demonstration units at
their net realizable value. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENTKLA-Tencor reviews the adequacy of its inventory
reserves on a quarterly basis. Its methodology involves matching its on-hand and
on-order inventory with its demand forecast on a part-by-part basis. For parts
that are in excess of its forecasted demand, KLA-Tencor takes appropriate
reserves to reflect risk of obsolescence. If actual demand declined below its
forecast, KLA-Tencor may need to take additional inventory reserves.
Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost.
Depreciation of property and equipment is based on the straight-line method over
the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are 30 years for buildings, 10
years for building improvements, five to seven years for furniture and fixtures,
and three to five years for machinery and equipment. Leasehold improvements are
amortized by the straight-line method over the shorter of the life of the
related asset or the term of the underlying lease. INTANGIBLE ASSETSConstruction in process does
not depreciate until the assets are placed in service.
Intangible Assets Purchased technology, workforce,patents, trademarks, favorable
leases and goodwill are presented at cost, net of accumulated amortization.
Effective July 1, 2001, KLA-Tencor replaced ratable amortization of goodwill
with periodic testing of goodwill for impairment in accordance with the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, "Goodwill and
Intangible Assets." Intangible assets other than goodwill are amortized over
their estimated useful lives of two to five years using the straight-line method.
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTSSoftware Development Costs Development costs incurred in the research
and development of new software products are expensed as incurred until
technological feasibility of the product has been established. Software
development costs incurred after technological feasibility has been established
are capitalized up to the time the product is available for general release to
customers. At June 30, 20002002 and 2001, there were no amounts capitalized as
KLA-Tencor's current development process is essentially completecompletely concurrent
with the establishment of technological feasibility.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETSImpairment of Long-Lived Assets KLA-Tencor evaluates the carrying value
of its long-lived assets, including goodwill and other identifiable intangibles assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying value of the asset may be impaired in accordance with the
provisions of SFASStatement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 121, Accounting"Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
of, and Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 17,
Intangible Assets.of." An impairment loss is recognized when estimated future cash flows expected
to result from the use of the asset including disposition, is less than the
carrying value of the asset.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISKConcentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments, which potentially
subject KLA-Tencor to credit risk, consist principally of investments, accounts
receivable and derivative financial instruments used in hedging activities.
Investments are maintained with high-quality institutions, and the
composition and maturities of investments are regularly monitored by management.
Generally, these securities are traded in a highly liquid market, may be
redeemed upon demand and bear minimal risk. KLA-Tencor, by policy, limits the
amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution or commercial issuer.
KLA-Tencor has not experienced any material losses on its investments.
A majority of KLA-Tencor's trade receivables are derived from sales to
large multinational semiconductor manufacturers throughout the world.
Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is considered to
be limited due to its customer base and the diversity of its geographic sales
areas. KLA-Tencor performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers'
financial 44

condition. KLA-Tencor maintains a provision for potential credit
losses based upon expected collectibility of all accounts receivable.
KLA-Tencor is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by
counterparties on the foreign exchange contracts used in hedging activities.
KLA-Tencor does not anticipate nonperformance by these counterparties.
FOREIGN CURRENCYForeign Currency The functional currencies of KLA-Tencor's significant
foreign subsidiaries are the local currencies. Accordingly, all assets and
liabilities of the foreign operations are translated to U.S. dollars at current
period end exchange rates, and revenues and expenses are translated to U.S.
dollars using average exchange rates in effect during the period. The gains and
losses from foreign currency translation of these subsidiaries' financial
statements are recorded directly into a separate component of stockholders'
equity under the caption "Accumulated other comprehensive income." Currency
transaction gains and losses have not been significant.
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTSsignificant historically.
Derivative Instruments KLA-Tencor's foreign subsidiaries operate and
sell KLA-Tencor's products in various global markets. As a result, KLA-Tencor is
exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. KLA-Tencor utilizes
foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge against certain future
movements in foreign exchange rates that affect certain foreign currency
denominated sales and purchase transactions. KLA-Tencor attempts to match the
forward contracts with the underlying items being hedged in terms of currency,
amount, and maturity. KLA-Tencor does not use derivative financial instruments
for speculative or trading purposes. Since the impact of movements in currency
exchange rates on forward contracts offsets most of the related impact on the
exposures hedged, these financial instruments generally do not subject
KLA-Tencor to speculative risk that would otherwise result from changes in
currency exchange rates.
KLA-Tencor discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when (1) it is
determined that a derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the
cash flows of a hedged item; (2) the derivative expires or is sold, terminated
or exercised; (3) the derivative is discontinued as a hedge instrument because
it is unlikely the underlying hedged transaction will occur; (4) because a
hedged firm commitment no longer meets the definition of a firm commitment; or
(5) management determines that designation of the derivative as a hedge
instrument is no longer appropriate.
In all situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued, the
derivative will be carried at its fair value on the balance sheet, with changes
in its fair value recognized in current period earnings. When hedge accounting
is discontinued because it is probable that a forecasted transaction will not
occur, the related amounts that were accumulated in other comprehensive income
are recognized immediately in earnings.
At June 30, 2002, KLA-Tencor had foreign exchange forward contracts
maturing throughout fiscal 2003 to sell and purchase $155 million and $40
million, respectively, in foreign currency, primarily Japanese yen. At June 30,
2001, KLA-Tencor had foreign exchange forward contracts maturing throughout
fiscal 2002 to sell and purchase $219 million and $60 million, respectively, in
foreign currency, primarily Japanese yen. At June 30,
2000, KLA-Tencor had foreign exchange forward contracts maturing throughout
fiscal 2001 to sell and purchase $289 million and $85 million, respectively, in
foreign currency, primarily Japanese yen. All foreign exchange forward contracts
are carried on the consolidated balance sheets at fair market value. 45

See Note 8
for further information related to derivatives and hedging activities.
WARRANTYWarranty KLA-Tencor generally warrantsprovides standard warranty coverage on its systems
for a period of 12twelve months, for materialproviding labor and laborparts necessary to repair and service the
system. A provisionsystems during the warranty period. The Company accounts for the estimated
warranty cost as a charge to cost of goods sold when revenue is recognized. The
estimated warranty cost is based on its historical experience with the product's
performance in the field. If actual warranty activities differ from its
estimates, the Company records revisions to the estimated warranty liability as
required. Non-standard warranty includes services incremental to the standard
40-hour per week coverage for twelve months. Non-standard warranty is recorded when initialdeferred
as unearned revenue and is recognized onratably as revenue when the system.
REVENUE RECOGNITIONapplicable
warranty term period commences.
Revenue Recognition In December 1999, the staff of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC)SEC issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." The SEC
Staff addressed several issues in SAB 101, including the timing of revenue
recognition for sales that involve contractual customer acceptance provisions
and installation of the product if these events occur after shipment and
transfer of title. KLA-Tencor implemented the provisions of SAB 101 in the
fourth fiscal quarter of 2001, retroactive to July 1, 2000. Prior to adoption of
SAB 101, KLA-Tencor's general policy was to recognize revenue on shipment.
Accordingly, KLA-Tencor did not have any formal centralized processes for
tracking, obtaining and filing customer acceptance reports; therefore, pro forma
amounts for the periods before July 1, 2000 have not been presented as the
effect of the change in accounting principle could not be reasonably determined.
KLA-Tencor derives revenuesrevenue from four sources --- system sales, spare part
sales, service contracts and software license fees. System sales include
hardware and software that is incidental to the product. SAB 101 has no impact
on KLA-Tencor's revenue recognition policy for spare part sales, service
contracts and software license fees.
For system sales, historically,Prior to the implementation of SAB 101, system revenue was generally
recognized when the
product was shipped, risk of loss had passed to the customer and collection of
the resulting receivable was probable.upon shipment. Effective July 1, 2000, KLA-Tencor changed its method
of accounting for system sales to generally recognize revenue upon a positive
affirmation by the customer that the system has been installed and is operating
according to pre-determinedpredetermined specifications. In addition,
KLA-Tencor does not recognize any revenue on shipments until legal title passes
to the customer. In practice, this affects primarily shipments to Japan where
legal title generally does not pass until technical acceptance. In certain limited cases, KLA-Tencor
may deviate from the need for a written acceptance by the customer. Examples of these cases include:
-customer, as follows:
o When system sales to independent distributors have no installation,
contain no acceptance agreement, and 100% payment is due upon shipment,
revenue is recognized on shipment;
o When the system requires no integration and installation or integration,is
inconsequential, revenue is recognized on shipment. -In these cases
KLA-Tencor is required to perform the installation but it considers
installation not essential to the functionality of the equipment, and
there are no additional tests required to be performed on-site. In
addition, third party distributors and customers regularly complete the
installation of these tools;
o When the customer fab has already accepted the same tool, with the same
specifications on the same process, for the same application, revenue due
on shipmentand it
can be objectively demonstrated that it meets all of the product isrequired
acceptance criteria upon shipment, a portion of revenue may be
recognized at the time of shipment. -Revenue recognized upon shipment is
exclusive of the amount allocable to the installation element. Revenue
attributable to the installation element is the higher of the payment
amount due upon acceptance or the fair value of installation;
o When the system is performing in production toand meets all published and
contractually agreed specifications, andbut the customer withholds
signature is
withheldon our acceptance document due to warranty or other limited issues
unrelated to product performance.
Total revenue mayrecognized under conditions where KLA-Tencor deviated
from the need for a written acceptance by the customer were less than 2.5% of
total revenue for fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2001.
In accordance with SAB 101, KLA-Tencor also allows for multiple element
revenue arrangement in cases where certain elements of a sales contract are not
delivered and accepted at the same time. In such cases, KLA-Tencor defers the
fair value of the unaccepted element until that element is delivered to and
accepted by the customer. To be recognized.
Sparesconsidered a separate element, the product or
service in question must represent a separate earnings process, and is not
essential to the functionality of the delivered and accepted portion of the same
sales contract. If the unaccepted element is essential to the functionality of
the delivered and accepted portion, the whole amount of the sales contract is
deferred until all elements are accepted.
Spare part revenue is recognized when the product has been shipped,
risk of loss has passed to the customer and collection of the resulting
receivable is probable.
Service and maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the term of
the maintenance contract. If maintenance is included in an arrangement, which
includes a software license agreement, amounts related to maintenance are
allocated based on vendor specific objective evidence. In situations where

twelve months. Non-standard warranty is deferred as unearned revenue and is

maintenance is to be provided over arecognized ratably as revenue when the applicable warranty term period
beyond twelve months from the
balance sheet date, the portion of revenue relating to those services is
classified as noncurrent deferred revenue.commences. Consulting and training revenue is recognized when the related
services are performed.
Revenue from software license fees is typically recognized upon
shipment of the
software if collection of the resulting receivable is probable, the fee is fixed
or determinable, and vendor-specific objective evidence exists to allocate a
portion of the total fee to any undelivered elements of the arrangement. Such
undelivered elements in these arrangements typically consist of services and/or
upgrades. If vendor-specific objective evidence does not exist for the
undelivered elements of the arrangement, all revenue is deferred until such
evidence does exist, or until all elements are delivered, whichever is earlier.
In instances where an arrangement to deliver software requires significant
modification or customization, license fees are recognized under the percentage
of completion method of contract accounting. Allowances are established for
potential product returns and credit losses. To date, revenuesrevenue from license fees
have been less than ten percent10% of total revenues.revenue.
As a result of implementing SAB 101, KLA-Tencor changed its method of
accounting for revenue recognition. This change resulted in a cumulative deferred
system revenue of $660.9$661 million as of June 30,July 1, 2000, which was recorded as a
non-cash charge of $306.4$306 million (afterafter reduction for product and warranty costs
and income taxes of $147.5
million), or a charge of $1.59 per share, to reflect the cumulative effect of
the accounting changetaxes. The deferred system profit balance as of the beginning of the fiscal year. The deferred
profit balances as of July 1, 2000June 30, 2002 was
$453.9 million. Deferred profit$194 million and equals the amount of system revenue that was shipped,invoiced and due

ADVERTISING EXPENSESand $55 million at June 30, 2002.
Advertising Expenses KLA-Tencor expenses advertising costs as incurred.
Advertising expenses for fiscal 2002, 2001 2000 and 19992000 were approximately $6$3
million, $6 million and $4$6 million respectively.
STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTSStrategic Development Agreements Net engineering, research and
development expenses were partially offset by $14 million, $8 million $16 million and $14$16
million in external funding received under certain strategic development
programs conducted with several of KLA-Tencor's customers and government grants
in fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000, and 1999, respectively.
INCOME TAXESIncome Taxes KLA-Tencor accounts for income taxes under an asset and
liability approach. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for future taxable
amounts and deferred tax assets are recognized for future deductions.
EARNINGS PER SHAREEarnings Per Share Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computedcalculated by
dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per
share is computedcalculated by using the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period and gives effect to all dilutive potential common
shares outstanding during the period. The reconciling difference between the
computation of basic and
47
48 diluted earnings per share for all periods presented is
the inclusion of the dilutive effect of stock options issued to employees under
employee stock option plans.
Options to purchase 282,746, 4,459,862 and 211,009 and 1,520,574 shares of
KLA-Tencor's common stock were outstanding at June 30, 2002, 2001 2000 and 19992000
respectively, but not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the
exercise price was greater than the average market price of common shares in
each respective year. The exercise price ranges of these options were $52.75 to
$68.00, $44.69 to $68.00 and $56.31 to $68.00 and $21.13
to $34.94 at June 30, 2002, 2001 and 2000,
and 1999, respectively.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANSStock-Based Compensation Plans KLA-Tencor accounts for its employee
stock option plans and employee stock purchase plan in accordance with
provisions of APB 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." KLA-Tencor
provides additional pro forma disclosure required by SFAS 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" (see Note 6).
RECLASSIFICATIONSReclassifications Certain amounts in fiscal years prior to 2001period balances have been reclassified
to conform to the current financial statement presentation.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTSRecent Accounting Pronouncements In JulyAugust 2001, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement Nos. 141 and 142 (SFAS 141 and SFAS
142), "Business Combinations" and "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,"
respectively. SFAS 141 replaces APB 16 and eliminates pooling-of-interests
accounting prospectively. It also provides guidance on purchase accounting
related to the recognition of intangible assets and accounting for negative
goodwill. SFAS 142 changes the accounting for goodwill from an amortization
method to an impairment-only approach. Under SFAS 142, goodwill will be tested
annually and whenever events or circumstances occur indicating that goodwill
might be impaired. SFAS 141 and SFAS 142 are effective for all business
combinations completed after June 30, 2001. Upon adoption of SFAS 142,
amortization of goodwill recorded for business combinations consummated prior to
July 1, 2001 will cease, and intangible assets acquired prior to July 1, 2001
that do not meet the criteria for recognition under SFAS 141 will be
reclassified to goodwill. Companies are required to adopt SFAS 142 for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2001, but early adoption is permitted. In
connection with the adoption of SFAS 142, KLA-Tencor will be required to perform
a transitional goodwill impairment assessment. KLA-Tencor is currently studying
these standards and has not yet determined what impact they will have on its
results of operations and financial position.
In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 143 ("SFAS 143"),
"Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," which is effective for fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2002. SFAS 143 applies to all entities and
addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the
retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement
costs. The Statement applies to all
entities. It applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of
long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development,
and (or)and/or the normal operation of a long-lived asset, except for certain
obligations of lessees. KLA-Tencor does not expect the adoption of SFAS 143 to
have a significant impact on its financial position and results of operations.
48In October 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 144 ("SFAS 144"),
"Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS 144
addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment of long-lived
assets and for long-lived assets to be disposed. SFAS 144 will be effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. KLA-Tencor is currently
evaluating the impact of SFAS 144, but does not expect that its adoption on July
1, 2002 will have a material effect on its financial statements.
In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 146 ("SFAS 146"),
"Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS 146
addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or
disposal activities, and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No.
94-3, Liabilities Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and
Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a
Restructuring). SFAS 146 requires that a liability for costs associated with an
exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured initially at fair value
only when the liability is incurred. SFAS 146 applies to exit or disposal
activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. This Statement will, in
certain circumstances, change the timing of recognition of restructuring costs.

Acquisitions
During the three years in fiscal 2001, 2000, and 1999,
respectively. These charges (credits) are directly attributable to non-recurring
acquisition charges incurred as KLA-Tencor continues to pursue a course of
strategic acquisitions and alliances to expand its technologies, product
offerings and distribution capabilities and to restructuring charges incurred in
connection with its fiscal 1999 and fiscal 2001 restructure plans that are
offset by non-recurring income in fiscal 2001.
Non-recurring acquisition charges for the yearperiod ended June 30, 2001
In April 2001,2002, KLA-Tencor
purchased substantially allcompleted a number of purchase acquisitions. The Consolidated Financial
Statements include the assetsoperating results of Phase Metrics, Inc. ("Phase Metrics"),each business from the date of
acquisition. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the
effects of these acquisitions were not material on either an individual or
aggregate basis. For a privately held company, for a totalperiod of approximately $18.9 million in cash, including approximately $1.3 million inup to twelve months from the acquisition costs. Phase Metrics is a supplier of inspection/certification
technologies to the data storage industry. The totaldate,

allocated toallocation for pre-acquisition
uncertainties. After twelve months, KLA-Tencor records the net tangible assets of $13.1 million, identifiable intangible
assets of $4.9 million, in-process research and development of $0.7 million, on
the basis of their relative fair values, with the excess of $0.2 million to
goodwill.

No supplemental pro forma information is presented due to the immaterial
effect on prior period results of operations.
In-process research and development represented the value of products
that were not considered to have reached technological feasibility. To determine
the value of the in-process technology of the fiscal 2001 acquisition, the
expected future cash flows attributable to the in-process technology were
discounted at 30%, taking into account the percentage of completion, utilization
of pre-existing technology, risks related to the characteristics and
applications of the technology, existing and future markets, and technological
risk associated with completing the development of the technology.such
reasonably estimable contingencies.
The valuation
approach used was a form of discounted cash flow approach commonly known as the
"percentage of completion" approach whereby the cash flows from the technology
are multiplied by the percentage of completion of the in-process technology.
Non-recurring acquisition charges for the year ended June 30, 2000
In March 2000, KLA-Tencor purchased assets and related technology of Fab
Solutions, a division of ObjectSpace, Inc. for an aggregate purchase price of $8
million. Fab Solutions is a leading provider of advanced process control
software solutions used to respond to yield-impacting parametric data in
near-real time. KLA-Tencor recorded a charge of $0.8 million for purchased
in-process research and development, representing the appraised value of
products that were not considered to have reached technological feasibility.
In February 2000, KLA-Tencor acquired software developer FINLE
Technologies, Inc., a supplier of lithography modeling and data analysis
software used to speed development of advanced lithography processes required to
develop and produce integrated circuits with 0.12 micron and smaller geometries,
for an aggregate purchase price of $5 million. KLA-Tencor recorded a charge of
$0.5 million for purchased in-process research and development, representing the
appraised value of products that were not considered to have reached
technological feasibility.
In November 1999, KLA-Tencor acquired software developer ACME Systems,
Inc., a leading supplier of yield engineering analysis software used to
correlate parametric electrical test and wafer sort yield data with in-line work
in process and metrology data, for an aggregate purchase price of $6.9 million.
KLA-Tencor recorded a charge of $1.9 million for purchased in-process research
and development, representing the appraised value of products that were not
considered to have reached technological feasibility.
No supplemental pro forma information is presented due to the immaterial
effect on prior period results of operations.
To determine the value of the in-process technology of the fiscal 2000
acquisitions, the expected future cash flow attributable to the in-process
technology was discounted, taking into account the percentage of completion,
utilization of pre-existing technology, risks related to the characteristics and
applications of the technology, existing and future markets, and technological
risk associated with completing the development of the technology. The valuation

approach whereby the cash flows from the technology are multiplied by the
percentage of completion of the in-process technology. In each acquisition, the
value of tangible net assets acquired was nominal.
Non-recurring acquisition charges for the year ended June 30, 1999
In December 1998, KLA-Tencor purchased assets and related technology
from Uniphase Corporation for an aggregate purchase price of $3 million. The
confocal laser review station technology acquired is currently used for analysis
of defects on silicon wafers. Assets acquired of $3 million consisted primarily
of inventory.
In November 1998, KLA-Tencor purchased assets and technology from
Keithley Instruments, Inc. for an aggregate purchase price of $10 million. The
corona wire gate oxide monitoring tool technology KLA-Tencor acquired had not
yet reached the alpha stage and the cost to complete the development of this
equipment was estimated at the time of acquisition to be $1 million. KLA-Tencor
recorded a charge of $8 million for purchased in-process research and
development, representing the appraised value of products that were not
considered to have reached technological feasibility.
In June 1998, KLA-Tencor acquired Groff Associates, Inc. (dba VARS Inc.)
for an aggregate purchase price of $13 million. The digital and
in-line-monitoring image archiving retrieval software technology KLA-Tencor
acquired had not yet reached the alpha stage and the cost to complete the
development of these software products was estimated at the time of acquisition
to be $2 million. KLA-Tencor recorded a charge of $13 million for purchased
in-process research and development, representing the appraised value of
products that were not considered to have reached technological feasibility.
In May 1998 KLA-Tencor acquired DeviceWare, Inc., a company in its
development stage, for an aggregate purchase price of $3 million. The bit
mapping defect characterization technology acquired had not yet reached the
alpha stage and the cost to complete the development of this software product
was estimated at the time of acquisition to be $1 million. KLA-Tencor recorded a
charge of $3 million for purchased in-process research and development,
representing the appraised value of product that was not considered to have
reached technological feasibility.
No supplemental pro forma information is presented due to the immaterial
effect on prior period results of operations.
For each of the above three fiscal 1999 transactions, the appraised
value under the income approach used for its calculation did not differ
materially from the result under the percentage of completion approach preferred
by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The value of the tangible net assets
acquired was nominal.
Each of the above acquisitions was accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting and the developmental products acquired were evaluated in
the context of Interpretation 4 of SFAS 2 and SFAS 86. The allocation of the
purchase priceamounts allocated to in-process research and development

(1) With the acquisition of QC Optics, we received certain intellectual property in laser-based inspection systems for the
semiconductor, flat panel and computer hard disk manufacturing industries.
(2) KLA-Tencor acquired certain assets and technology of Phase Metrics, the leading supplier of inspection/certification
products in the data storage industry.
(3) Fab solutions provided us with APC software, allowing our customers to automatically compensate for variances in the IC
manufacturing process.
(4) With the Finle acquisition, we developed our Klarity ProDATA lithography data analysis software, which combined with the
PROLITH lithography data analysis software, help our customers reduce their advanced lithography development time and cost.
(5) ACME's technology enabled us to develop the Klarity ACE product which helps our customers quickly identify the source of
defects and process problems fab-wide.
The difference between the purchase price and the goodwill, intangibles
and in-process R&D represents amount allocated to the net tangible assets
acquired. No deferred stock-based compensation has been recorded for any of the
in-process research and development projects acquired
were expected to be complete and generating revenues within the 24 months
following the acquisition date.
Development of acquired technologies remains a significant risk due to
the remaining effort required to achieve technical feasibility, rapidly changing
customer markets and significant competitive threats from numerous companies.
Failure to bring any of these products to market in a timely manner could
adversely affect its sales and profitability in the future. Additionally, the
value of net assets and other intangible assets acquired may become impaired.acquisitions.
Restructuring and Other Charges
(Credits)
DuringIn fiscal 2002, there were no restructuring charges. In fiscal 2001, in
response to the downturn in the semiconductor industry, KLA-Tencor implemented a
restructuring plan to controlreduce spending. ItsCharges related to its restructuring plan
included three main categories:included: facilities of $4.7 million, severance and benefits of $1.6 million,
and other costs of $1.0 million. Due to its downsizing and consolidation of
certain of its operations, KLA-Tencor will
vacatevacated two of its leased office buildings
and have included the remaining net book value of the related leasehold improvements
as well as the future lease payments, net of anticipated sublease revenue in the
charge. During fiscal 2002, KLA-Tencor has reduced its workforce by approximately
5%, primarily in the manufacturing areas and recorded severance charges related
to this termination. As of June 30, 2001
the accrual associated with this restructuring aggregated $2.0 million.these terminations. In addition, during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2001,
KLA-Tencor sold software and intellectual property associated with its
iSupport(TM) on-line customer support technology and recorded $10.0 million
pretax, non-recurring income, which was netted with the other non-recurring
charges. During fiscal 1999, KLA-Tencor implemented a restructuring plan to
address the impact on its business of the downturn in the semiconductor
industry. Estimated restructuring costs of $35 million were classified in four
main categories: facilities, inventory, severance and benefits, and other
restructuring costs. Facilities costs of $12 million included $8 million for
lease expense resulting from consolidation and closure of certain offices
located primarily in the United States and Japan; $3 million for leasehold
improvements impaired in those facilities; and $1 million in other
facilities-related exit costs. Inventory-related costs of $10 million resulted
from impaired assets related to unique parts and non-cancelable purchase
commitments of certain development programs, which were terminated asAs part of the realignment and streamliningiSupport(TM) transaction, the Company will record a
non-recurring gain of its product lines. Severance and
benefit-related costs ofapproximately $15 million in the quarter ending September
30, 2002. During fiscal 2000, we reversed $8 million included involuntary termination of approximately 250 personnel from manufacturing, engineering, sales, marketing,
and administration throughout the United States, Japan and Europe. Other
restructuring costs of $5 million related primarily to the write-off of software
licenses and related non-cancelable maintenance contracts for closed locations.
During fiscal year 2000, KLA-Tencor management determinedreserve
that $7.8 million of
the restructure reserve would not be utilized because of a change in management's plans for
utilization of certain facilities resulting from an increase in demand for our
products.
As of June 30, 2002, the Company's products. Accordingly,remaining balance of the restructuring reserve

Undistributed earnings of certain of KLA-Tencor's foreign subsidiaries,
which
United States federal income taxes of approximately $15.4 million have not been provided for the
undistributed earnings of two of KLA-Tencor's foreign subsidiaries. These
undistributed earnings aggregated $44$37 million at June 30, 2001.2002, and it is the
Company's intention that such undistributed earnings be permanently reinvested.
The Company has tax credit at June 30, 2002 totaling $70 million, of which $23
million will begin to expire in 2021. The Company enjoys tax holidays in Israel
where it manufactures certain of its products. These tax holidays are scheduled
to expire at varying times within the next ten years. The effect of these tax
holidays has not had a material impact on the Company's net income and net
income per share.
NOTE 6 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
STOCKHOLDER'S RIGHTS PLANStockholders' Rights Plan In March 1989, KLA-Tencor implemented a plan
to protect stockholders' rights in the event of a proposed takeover of
KLA-Tencor. Each stockholder under the plan is entitled to one right per common
stock owned. The Plan was amended in April 1996. The Plan provides that if any
person or group acquires 15% or more of KLA-Tencor's common stock, each right
not owned by such person or group will entitle its holder to purchase, at the
then-current exercise price, KLA-Tencor's common stock at a value of twice that
exercise price. As amended to date, under the Plan, the rights are redeemable at
KLA-Tencor's option for $0.01 per right and expire in April 2006.
STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAMStock Repurchase Program In July 1997, the Board of Directors
authorized KLA-Tencor to systematically repurchase shares of its common stock in
the open market. This plan was entered into to reduce the dilution from
KLA-Tencor's employee benefit and incentive plans such as the stock option and
employee stock purchase plans. In fiscal years 2002, 2001 2000 and 1999,2000, KLA-Tencor
repurchased 3,341,000, 4,580,000 520,000 and 2,152,000520,000 shares at an average price of
$36.89, $33.54 $53.80
and 56
57
$22.66$53.80 per share, respectively. Since the inception of the
repurchase program in 1997 through June 30, 2001,2002, KLA-Tencor has repurchased a
total of 8,008,00011,349,000 shares at an average price of $30.77$32.57 per share. All such
shares remain as treasury shares.
STOCK SPLITStock Split For stockholders of record on January 4, 2000, KLA-Tencor
effected a two-for-one stock split of its common stock in the form of a 100
percent stock dividend. The stock dividend was paid on January 18,19, 2000. All
prior-period share and per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect this
transaction retroactively.
EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLANEmployee Stock Purchase Plan KLA-Tencor's employee stock purchase plan
provides that eligible employees may contribute up to 10% of their eligible
earnings toward the semi-annual purchase of KLA-Tencor's common stock. The
employee's purchase price is derived from a formula based on the fair market
value of the common stock. Nostock at the time of enrollment into the Offering period
versus the fair market value on the date of purchase. Offering periods are
generally two years in length. As the plan is non-compensatory under APB 25, no
compensation expense is recorded in connection with the plan. In fiscal years
2002, 2001 2000 and 1999,2000, employees purchased 1,155,213, 1,275,837 and 1,935,031 and 1,639,334of
shares issued at a weighted average fair value of $29.72, $28.59 and $13.28,
respectively. The plan shares issuedare replenished annually on the first day of $28.59, $13.28 and $5.24, respectively.each
fiscal year by virtue of an evergreen provision. The provision allows for a
share replenishment equal to the lesser of 2,000,000 shares or the number of
shares which the Company estimates will be required to issue under the plan
during the forthcoming fiscal year. At June 30, 2001, 757,6142002, 1,602,401 shares were
reserved and available for issuance under this plan.
STOCK OPTION AND INCENTIVE PLANS KLA-Tencor has authorized variousStock Option and Incentive Plans KLA-Tencor's stock option program is a
broad-based, long-term retention program that is intended to attract and retain
qualified management incentive plans for selectedand technical employees officers,
directors,("knowledge employees"), and consultants.align
stockholder and employee interests. The plans provide for awards in the form of
stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock purchase rights, and performance
shares. As of June 30, 2001,2002, only stock options have been awarded under the
plans. Under KLA-Tencor's stock option plans, options generally have vesting
periods of four or five years, are exercisable for a period not to exceed ten
years from the date of issuance and are granted at prices not less than the fair
market value of KLA-Tencor's common stock at the grant date. This program
consists of three plans: one under which non-employee directors may be granted
options to purchase shares of our stock, another in which officers, key
employees, consultants and all other employees may be granted options and one
other in which consultants and all employees other than directors and officers
may be granted options to purchase shares of our stock. Substantially all of our
employees that meet established performance goals and that qualify as knowledge
employees participate in one of our stock option plans. Options granted to
employees from fiscal year 1999 through June 30, 2002 are summarized as follows:

During fiscal 2002, the Company granted options to purchase
approximately 9.8 million shares of stock to employees, which was a net grant of
options for 8.0 million shares after deducting options forfeited. The net
options granted after forfeiture represented 4.2% of total outstanding shares of
approximately 189.8 million as of June 30, 2002.
Options granted to the top five officers as a percentage of the total
options granted to all employees vary from year to year. In fiscal 2001,2002, they were a
higher percentage of the total grants than in the other years shown as they
included Board of Director approved additional grants to Mr. Schroeder in
recognition of his future potential to lead the corporation. The additional
grants to Mr. Schroeder total 227,400 options with vesting on said grants
extended out for up to an eight-year period. These additional grants are not
made every year. For additional information about the compensation of our
executive officers and stock option grants to our top five executive officers,
please refer to our proxy statement dated September 20, 2002.
All stock option grants to officers are made with a review by, and with
the approval of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. All
members of the Compensation Committee are independent directors, as defined in
the applicable rules for issuers traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market. See the
"Report of the Compensation Committee on Executive Compensation" appearing in
KLA-Tencor's proxy statement dated September 20, 2002, for further information
concerning the policies and procedures of KLA-Tencor and the Compensation
Committee regarding the use of stock options.

ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATIONAccounting for Stock-Based Compensation Pro forma information regarding
net income and net income per share is required by SFAS 123, and has been
determined as if KLA-Tencor had accounted for its employee stock purchase plan
and employee stock options granted subsequent to June 30, 1995, under the fair
value method of SFAS 123. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on
the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model forand the single
option approach with the following weighted-average assumptions:
June 30, 19992002 2001 2000
2001
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stock option plan:
Stock option plan:
Expected stock price volatility 65.0%80.0% 80.0% 70.0% 80.0%
Risk free interest rate 5.0%4.4% 5.5% 6.3% 5.5%
Expected life of options (in years) 5.65.4 5.4 5.3 5.4

Risk free interest rate 4.8%2.2% 4.3% 6.3% 4.3%
Expected life of options (in years) 1-2 1-2 1-2
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in
estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions
and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the
input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price
volatility. Because KLA-Tencor's employee stock option and employee stock
purchase plans have characteristics significantly different from those of traded
options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially
affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do
not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of such
Company options.
For purposes of pro forma disclosures required by SFAS 123, the
estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options'
vesting periods.periods using straight-line method. KLA-Tencor's pro forma information
is as follows:

OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
Other Employee Benefit Plans KLA-Tencor has a profit sharing program
for eligible employees which distributes, on a quarterly basis, a percentage of

$500 or 25% of the first $2000 of an eligible employee's contribution. Starting fiscal year 2000, KLA-Tencor has matched up to a maximum
of $1,000 or 50% of the first $2000 of an eligible employee's contribution, with
$500 of the amount funded from the profit sharing program. The total charge to
operations under the profit sharing and 401(k) programs aggregated $3 million,
$57 million $38 million and $7$38 million in fiscal years 2002, 2001 2000 and 1999,2000, respectively.

Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The following is a schedule of operating leases payments (in
thousands):
Fiscal year ended June 30, Amount
-------------------------------------------------------
2003 $ 9,386
2004 5,188
2005 2,985
2006 1,367
Thereafter 1,048
-------------------------------------------------------
Total minimum lease payments $ 19,974
=======================================================
The lease agreement for its use incertain Milpitas and San Jose, California.California
facilities has a term of five years ending in November 2002, with an option to
extend up to two more years. Monthly payments under this lease vary based upon
the London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR) plus 0.42%. The lease runs
through November of 2002, with an option to extend up to two more years. Under the terms of the
lease, KLA-Tencor, at its option, can acquire the properties at their original
cost or arrange for the properties to be acquired. In April 1999,
KLA-Tencor chose to exercise its option to purchase certain of the land and
facilities for a total aggregate value of approximately $27.4 million. If
KLA-Tencor does not purchase the remaining properties by the end of the lease,
KLA-Tencor will be contingently liable to the lessor for residual value
guarantees aggregating up to approximately $100.2 million. In addition, underUnder the terms of the lease,
KLA-Tencor must maintain compliance with certain financial covenants. As of June
30, 2001,2002, KLA-Tencor was in compliance with all of its covenants. Based on current market conditions, management does not
believe that KLA-Tencor will have to make any significant payments underIf the contingent liability relating toCompany
purchases the residual value guarantees.
KLA-Tencor leases several other facilities under operating leases that
expire at various times through fiscal 2012, with renewal options at the fair
market value for additional periods up to five years. KLA-Tencor also leases
equipment and other facilities under operating leases.
Total rent expense under all operating leases was approximately $21.8
million, $17.5 million and $17.7 million for the years ended June 30, 2001, 2000
and 1999, respectively (which includes lease payments for KLA-Tencor's Milpitas
and San Jose, California facilities).
Future minimum lease commitments under these operating leases at June
30, 2001 (which include estimated lease payments for KLA-Tencor's Milpitas and San Jose, California facilities using a LIBOR of 3.81% plus 0.42% and total
construction costs of $119.3 million), are approximately $15.3 million, $12.5
million, $6.7 million, $3.4 million, $1.5 million, and $2.3 million in fiscal
2002 through 2007 and thereafter, respectively.
LAND PURCHASE In May 2000, KLA-Tencor entered into an agreement to
purchase up to 43 acres of land in Livermore, California to build a new campus.
The initial 31 acre parcel of land was purchased in the first quarter of fiscal
2001, for approximately $15.1 million. KLA-Tencor holds an option to purchase
the remaining 12 acres for approximately $5.7 million, which will expire at the end of calendar 2001. KLA-Tencor is obligated for assessmentsthe
lease term, the purchase transactions would increase land and property by
approximately $119.3 million and decrease cash by approximately the same amount.
If the Company chooses not to exceedpurchase the facilities, it will be liable to the
lessor for residual value guarantees of an aggregate of up to approximately
$3.4 million and $1.3 million for construction on the 31 acre and
12 acre lots, respectively.
LEGAL MATTERS$100.2 million.
Legal Matters From time to time KLA-Tencor is named as a party to
lawsuits in the normal course of its business. Litigation, in general, and
intellectual property and securities litigation in particular, can be expensive and disruptive
to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of complex legal
proceedings are difficult to predict. KLA-Tencor believes that it has defenses
in each of the cases set forth below and is vigorously contesting each of these
matters.

ADE Corporation
On October 11, 2000, ADE Corporation ("ADE"), a competitor, filed a
patent infringement lawsuit against KLA-Tencor in the U.S. District Court in
Delaware. ADE claimed damages and sought an injunction under U.S. Patent No.
6,118,525. KLA-Tencor6,118,525 (`525 patent). We filed a counterclaim in the same court alleging that
ADE has infringed four of itsour patents. KLA-Tencor claimedWe are seeking damages and a permanent
injunction against ADE. In addition, KLA-Tencor iswe are seeking a declaration from the
District Court that ADE's patent is invalid and not infringed by KLA-Tencor. On
October 22, 2001, the Company filed a separate action for declaratory judgment
against ADE in the Northern District of California requesting a declaration that
U.S. Patent No. 6,292,259 (`259 patent) is invalid and not infringed. That
action has now been consolidated with the prior action in the Delaware
proceeding, and ADE has amended its complaint in that proceeding to allege that
KLA-Tencor is infringing the `259 patent. On August 8, 2002, the magistrate
presiding over the action issued a recommendation that the court enter summary
judgment in favor of KLA-Tencor on the issue of non-infringement under ADE's
`525 patent. On the same day, the magistrate issued recommendations that the
court enter summary judgment in favor of ADE on the issue of non-infringement of
two of KLA-Tencor's patents. While these matters are in a preliminary stage and KLA-Tencorwe cannot predict the outcome, KLA-Tencor believes it haswe believe
that we have valid defenses and further believesbelieve that itsour counterclaims have
merit.
Schlumberger,Tokyo Seimitsu Co. Ltd.
On June 27, 2001, the Company sued Tokyo Seimitsu Co. Ltd. and TSK
America Inc. ("TSK"), a competitor, in the U.S. District Court in the Northern
District of California alleging that TSK infringes on one of the Company's
patents. The suit seeks damages and Rigg Systems, Inc.
On August 30, 1999, KLA-Tencor was named asan injunction under U.S. Patent No.
4,805,123 (`123 patent). TSK filed a defendantcounterclaim in the same court seeking a
lawsuit in
which Schlumberger, Inc. alleges trade secret misappropriation,declaration that the `123 patent is invalid, unenforceable and not infringed,
and also alleged violations of the antitrust and unfair competition and trade slander. On July 21, 2000, the court granted its motion
for summary judgment dismissing the case. Schlumberger, Inc. subsequently filed
a motion for reconsideration of that dismissal and its request for
reconsideration was denied. Schlumberger has now appealed. Although the outcome
of these claims cannot be predicted with certainty, KLA-Tencor does not believe
that this legal matter will have a material adverse effect on its financial
condition even if the plaintiff prevails. On January 26, 2000, KLA-Tencor filed
a complaint against Philip Rigg, RIGG Systems and Schlumberger, Inc. for
misappropriation of trade secrets, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty,
interference with contract, and unfair competition. The defendants filed
cross-complaints on June 5, 2000 asserting various statutory and common law
theories. Although the outcome of these claims cannot be predicted with
certainty, KLA-Tencor does not believe that these legal matters will have a
material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations even
if the plaintiff prevails.laws.
Although KLA-Tencor cannot predict the outcome of these claims, managementit does
not believe that any of these legal matters will have a material adverse effect
on KLA-Tencor. WereHowever, were an unfavorable ruling to occur in one or more of
the pending claims, there exists the possibility of a material impact on
KLA-Tencor's operating results and financial position for the period in which
the ruling occurred.
NOTE 8 --- DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Under its foreign-currency risk management strategy, KLA-Tencor
utilizes derivative instruments to protect its interests from unanticipated
fluctuations in earnings and cash flows caused by volatility in currency
exchange rates. This financial exposure is monitored and managed by KLA-Tencor
as an integral part of its overall risk management program which focuses on the
unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to reduce the potentially
adverse effects that the volatility of these markets may have on its operating
results. KLA-Tencor continues its policy of hedging its current and anticipated
foreign currency exposures with hedging instruments having tenors of up to
12twelve months.
On July 1, 2001, KLA-Tencor adopted SFAS 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS 133). SFAS 133 requires
that all derivatives be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in
the fair value of derivatives which do not qualify, or are not effective as
hedges must be recognized currently in earnings. Upon adoption KLA-Tencor
recognized the fair value of foreign currency forward contracts, previously held
off balance sheet, and reflected their fair value on the balance sheet. These
were principally offset by recording on the balance sheet the change in value of
the hedged item, generally forecasted shipments. KLA-Tencor did not separately
report a cumulative transition adjustment to earnings upon adoption of the
standard as the impact was immaterial. All derivatives were reflected at fair
value on the balance sheet at that date.
62
63
Cashflow Hedges
KLA-Tencor's international sales are primarily denominated in USU.S.
dollars. For foreign currency denominated sales, however, the volatility of the
foreign currency markets represents risk to KLA-Tencor's margins. KLA-Tencor
defines its exposure as the risk of changes in the
functional-currency-equivalent cash flows (generally USU.S. dollar) attributable
to changes in the related foreign currency exchange rates. Upon forecasting the
exposure, KLA-Tencor hedges with forward sales contracts whose critical terms
are designed to match those of the underlying exposure. These hedges are
evaluated for effectiveness at least quarterly using regression analysis.
Ineffectiveness is measured by comparing the change in value of the forward
contracts to the change in value of the underlying transaction, with the
effective portion of the hedge accumulated in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI).
Any measured ineffectiveness is included immediately in "Interest income and
other, net" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. An immaterial amount
of ineffectiveness was recognized during the year. Deferred hedge gains and
losses and OCI associated with hedges of foreign currency sales are reclassified
to revenue upon recognition in income of the underlying hedged exposure. All
amounts reported in OCI at June 30, 20012002 are anticipated to be reclassified to
revenue within 12twelve months. The following table summarizes hedging activity in
the OCI activityaccount during the yearyears ended June 30, (in thousands):

---------- --------
Ending Balance June 30, 2001($ 992) $ 3,432
================== ==========
Fair Value Hedges
Upon adoption of SFAS 133, KLA-Tencor hedged foreign currency
denominated sales as fair value exposures. The exposures were defined as the US
dollar value of foreign currency sales for which KLA-Tencor has received a firm
commitment to purchase from the customer. Upon receipt of the firm commitment
from the customer, a forward sales contract was entered into in order to protect
the US dollar value of the related revenue. Critical terms of the forward
contract and related underlying exposure were matched at hedge inception.
Periodic changes in value of both the underlying exposure and the forward
contract were recorded on the balance sheet and in "Interest income and other,
net" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Upon recognition of the
underlying exposure, accumulated gains or losses from the effective portion of
the hedge contract were recorded in revenue. Net gains from fair value hedge
contracts recorded in revenue during the year totaled $10.3 million. Any
measured ineffectiveness is recognized immediately on the Interest Income and
Other, net line of the Income statement. An immaterial amount of ineffectiveness
was recognized during the year.
Other Foreign Currency Hedges
KLA-Tencor hedges its monetary non-functional assets and liabilities,
and those of its subsidiaries. SFAS 52 requires that such monetary assets and
liabilities be remeasured periodically for changes in the rate of exchange
against the entities' functional currency. Changes in value of
63
64 these assets and
liabilities are recorded in "Interest income and other, net" in the Consolidated
Statements of Operations. The volatility of the non-functional currencies
together with the requirement to remeasure non-functional assets and liabilities
may result in some volatility to KLA-Tencor's Consolidated Statements of
Operations if left unhedged. In order to mitigate these effects, KLA-Tencor
enters into remeasurement hedges which are forward contracts used to offset the
foreign currency positions represented by non-functional monetary assets and
liabilities. Remeasurement hedges are not SFAS 133 designated hedges, thus
changes in value of the remeasurement hedges are recorded currently in earnings.
NOTE 9 - GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Effective July 1, 2001, KLA-Tencor adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations," and No. 142, "Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets." Under these new accounting standards, KLA-Tencor
ceased amortization of goodwill recorded for business combinations consummated
prior to July 1, 2001, and reclassified amounts attributed to workforce in
acquisitions made prior to July 1, 2001 that did not meet the criteria for
separate recognition as an intangible asset under SFAS 141 to goodwill. The net
carrying value of goodwill recorded through acquisitions is $15.1 million as of
June 30, 2002. In accordance with SFAS 142, KLA-Tencor concluded there was no
impairment of goodwill.
The following table reflects the consolidated results adjusted as
though the adoption of SFAS 141 and SFAS 142 occurred as of the beginning of the
year ended June 30, 2001 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

NOTE 10 -- SEGMENT REPORTING AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
In fiscal 1999, KLA-Tencor adopted SFAS 131, "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS 131 establishes
standards for reporting information about operating segments in annual financial
statements and requires that certain selected information about operating
segments be reported in interim financial reports. It also establishes standards
for related disclosures about products and services, and geographic areas.
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which
separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating
decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources
and in assessing performance. KLA-Tencor's chief operating decision makers are
the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Operating Officer.
KLA-Tencor is engaged primarily in designing, manufacturing, and
marketing yield management and process monitoring systems for the semiconductor
industry. All operating units have been aggregated due to their
inter-dependencies, commonality of long-term economic characteristics, products
and services, the production processes, class of customer and distribution
processes. Since KLA-Tencor operates in one segment, all financial segment
information required by SFAS 131 can be found in the Consolidated Financial
Statements.
KLA-Tencor's significant operations outside the United States include a
manufacturing facility in Israel and sales, marketing and service offices in
Western Europe, Japan, and the Asia Pacific region. For geographical reporting,
revenues are attributed to the geographic location in which the customer is
located. No single customer accounted for 10% or more of net revenues or
accounts receivable in any of the periods presented. Long-lived assets consist
of net property and equipment, goodwill, capitalized software and other
intangibles, and other long-term assets, excluding long-term deferred tax assets
and are attributed to the geographic location in which they are located. The
following is a summary of operations by entities located within the indicated
geographic areas for fiscal years 1999, 20002002, 2001 and 2001.

KLA-Tencor implemented the provisions of SAB 101 in the fourth fiscal
quarter of 2001, retroactive to July 1, 2000. As a result, KLA-Tencor changed
its method of accounting for revenue recognition. KLA-Tencor recorded a non-cash
charge of $306.4 million (after reduction for income taxes of $147.5 million),
or a loss of $1.59 per share, to reflect the cumulative effect of the
65

accounting change as of the beginning of the fiscal year. The results for the
first three quarters of fiscal year ended June 30, 2001 have been restated in
accordance with SAB 101. Pro forma amounts for the periods beginning before July
1, 2000 have not been presented as the effect of the change in accounting

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of KLA-Tencor Corporation
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related
consolidated statements of operations, of stockholders' equity and of cash flows
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of KLA-Tencor
Corporation and its subsidiaries at June 30, 20012002 and 2000,2001, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended June 30, 2001,2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, effective July
1, 2000, the Company changed its method of accounting for revenue recognition in
accordance with guidance in Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 101 (SAB 101), "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements."
