See accompanying notes to condensed consolidated financial statements. 4 APPLE COMPUTER, INC. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Interim information is unaudited; however, in the opinion of the Company's management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of interim periods presented have been included. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year. Certain amounts in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 25, 1999, have been reclassified to conform to the 2000 presentation. These condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended September 25, 1999, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 25, 1999 (the 1999 Form 10-K). All information is based on the Company's fiscal calendar. NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued. The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of convertible securities is reflected using the if-converted method. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except net income and per share amounts):

5 Options to purchase approximately 209,7501,853,108 and 253,000160,000 shares of common stock were outstanding as of AprilJuly 1, 2000, and March 27,June 26, 1999, respectively, that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for thesethe quarters then ended because the options' exercise price was greater than the average market price of the Company's common stock during those periods and, therefore, the effect would be antidilutive. During the first two quarters of 1999, the Company had outstanding $661 million of unsecured convertible subordinated debentures (the Debentures) which were convertible by their holders into approximately 22.645.2 million shares of common stock at a conversion price of $29.205 per share.stock.

10 NOTE 9 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In March 1998, the AICPA issued Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use," which provides guidance on accounting for the costs of computer software intended for internal use. The adoption of SOP 98-1 in fiscal 2000 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position during the quarter and six-monthsnine months ended AprilJuly 1, 2000. In June 1998, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" was issued. SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 138, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, hedging activities, and exposure definition. SFAS No. 133 requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in fair value will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings, or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. In June 1999, SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities- Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133"133," was issued. The statement defers the effective date of SFAS No. 133 until the first quarter of fiscal 2001. Although the Company continues to review the effect of the implementation of SFAS No. 133, the Company does not currently believe its adoption will have a material impact on its financial position or overall trends in results of operations and does not believe adoption will result in significant changes to its financial risk management practices. However, the impact of adoption of SFAS No. 133 on the Company's results of operations is dependent upon the fair values of the Company's derivatives and related financial instruments at the date of adoption and may result in more pronounced quarterly fluctuations in other income and expense. In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." The objective of this SAB is to provide further guidance on revenue recognition issues in the absence of authoritative literature addressing a specific arrangement or a specific industry. The Company is required to followadopt the guidance in the SAB no later than the firstfourth quarter of its fiscal year 2001. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. The SEC has recently indicated it intends to issue further guidance with respect to adoption of specific issues addressed by SAB No. 101. Until such time as this additional guidance is issued, the Company is unable to assess the impact, if any, it may have on its financial position or results of operations. 11 NOTE 10 - CONTINGENCIES The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that are discussed in detail in the 1999 Form 10-K. The Company is also subject to certain other legal proceedings and claims which have arisen in the ordinary course of business and which have not been fully adjudicated. The results of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty; however, in the opinion of management, the Company does not have a potential liability related to any legal proceedings and claims that would have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has proposed federal income tax deficiencies for the years 1984 through 1991, and the Company has made certain prepayments thereon. The Company contested the proposed deficiencies by filing petitions with the United States Tax Court, and most of the issues in dispute have now been resolved. On June 30, 1997, the IRS proposed income tax adjustments for the years 1992 through 1994. Although most of the issues for these years have been resolved, certain issues still remain in dispute and are being contested by the Company. Management believes adequate provision has been made for any adjustments that may result from tax examinations. NOTE 11 - RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain amounts in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 25, 1999, have been reclassified to conform to the 2000 presentation. NOTE 12 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On April 19, 2000, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a two-for-one stock split, to be effected in the form of a stock dividend, subject to shareholder approval of an amendment to the Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of Common Stock to 900,000,000. Such approval was received at the Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on April 20, 2000. Shareholders of record on May 19, 2000 will be entitled to one additional share of common stock for each share of the Company's common stock held on that date. Share and per share data presented in this Form 10-Q have not been adjusted to give effect to this stock split. 12 ITEM 2.

12 Net sales increased $415$267 million or 27%17% to $1.945$1.825 billion in the secondthird quarter of 2000 compared to the same quarter in 1999. On a year-over-year basis, quarterly net sales increased in all of the Company's geographic operating segments. The primary source of this growth was an overall 26%12% increase in Macintosh unit sales, which reflects strong unit growth in the Company's three largest geographic operating segments. Approximately half of theAmericas and Europe somewhat offset by a decline in unit sales in Japan. Further contributing to year-over-year quarterly growth in net sales was a 4% increase in quarterly Macintosh unit shipments was attributable to sales of iBook, the Company's new education and consumer oriented portable computer, which was not shipped until the fourth quarter of 1999. The average revenue per Macintosh system, a function of total net sales generated by hardware shipments and total Macintosh CPU unit sales, for the second quarter of 2000 of $1,820 was comparable to the $1,813 experienced in the same quarter in 1999.sales. For the first sixnine months of 2000, net sales increased $1.048$1.315 billion or 32%27% over the same period in 1999. A 37%28% increase in year-to-date Macintosh unit sales, also reflective of strong growth in all of the Company's three largest geographic operating segments, was the principal cause of the increase in net sales during the first sixnine months of 2000. Net sales declined sequentially during the secondthird quarter of 2000 compared to the firstsecond quarter of 2000 by $398$120 million or 17%6%. Similarly, Macintosh unit sales decreased 24%3% during the secondthird quarter of 2000 compared to the firstsecond quarter. The sequential decline in both net sales and unit sales during the secondthird quarter is consistent withwas primarily the historical pattern experienced by the Company due to lower demandresult of a sequential quarterly decline in the Company's consumer markets following the holiday season. The sequential decrease iniMac unit sales was somewhat offset byof 6% and a sequential increasedecline in the average revenue per Macintosh system, which rose from $1,673system. The Company believes that iMac unit sales during the firstthird quarter were negatively impacted by anticipation of 2000 to $1,820 duringproduct updates expected at the secondbeginning of the fourth quarter. The increase during the current quarter in the average revenue per Macintosh system is primarily attributable tofor the shift in the Company's unit mix towards higher-priced professional oriented products such that Power Macintosh and PowerBook units comprised 44%third quarter of total Macintosh units sales during2000 declined 4% from the second quarter of 2000 versus 32%to $1,749. This decline was due to a shift during the firstquarter towards lower-priced versions of its consumer products purchased by the Company's education customers and by price protection recognized during the third quarter resulting from planned product transitions in the fourth quarter. SEGMENT OPERATING PERFORMANCE The Company manages its business primarily on a geographic basis. The Company's reportable geographic segments include the Americas, Europe, and Japan. The Americas segment includes both North and South America. The European segment includes European countries as well as the Middle East and Africa. The Japan segment includes only Japan. Each geographic operating segment provides similar hardware and software products and similar services. Further information regarding the Company's operating segments may be found in this Form 10-Q in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at Note 8, "Segment Information and Geographic Data.Data," 14 and in the 1999 Form 10-K. AMERICAS Net sales in the Americas segment during the secondthird quarter of 2000 increased $202$140 million or 26%16% compared to the same period in 1999. Macintosh quarterly unit sales in the Americas increased 29%10% on a year-over-year basis, reflecting strong growth in iMac unit sales and unit sales of professional products, particularly PowerBooks, and the recently introduced iBook.impact on unit sales of iBook which was first shipped at the beginning of fiscal 2000. These increases in unit sales were partially offset by an 8% decline in unit sales of iMac ahead of the anticipated product updates at the beginning of the fourth quarter. During the second quartersthird quarter of both 2000, and 1999, the Americas segment represented approximately 51%56% of the Company's total net sales.sales compared to 57% during the same quarter in 1999. For the first nine months of 2000, net sales in the Americas segment increased $571 million or 22% from the same period in 1999, while Macintosh unit sales increased 24%. The results experienced by the Americas segment induring the second quarterfirst nine months of 2000 versus the same quarterperiod in 1999 reflect the Company's overall results characterized by strong year-to-date growth in unit sales of iMac and netPowerBook products, sales of iBook which was first shipped at the beginning of fiscal 2000, and stable unit sales of the Company's consumer and education oriented products and moderate growth in net sales of the Company's professional orientedPower Macintosh products. 13 EUROPE Net sales in the Europe segment increased $101$56 million or 27%19% during the secondthird quarter of 2000 as compared to the same quarter in 1999, while the segment's Macintosh unit sales increased 35%33%. LikeGrowth in year-over-year unit sales was experienced in the Europe segment in all four of the Company's principal product families. Sequentially, net sales in the Europe segment declined $116 million or 25% during the third quarter of 2000 compared to the second quarter, while Macintosh unit sales declined 19%. The sequential decline in the Europe's segment net sales and unit sales is attributable primarily to two factors. First, like the Americas segment, Europe's results in the secondthird quarter of 2000 as compared to 1999 are indicative of strong growththe second quarter reflect a sequential decline in MacintoshiMac unit sales particularly unitin anticipation of upcoming product updates. Second, the Company has historically experienced a modest seasonal decline in net sales of iMac and iBook.in Europe during its third fiscal quarter. JAPAN Net sales in Japan rose 33%13% or $87$34 million during the secondthird quarter of 2000 as compared to the same quarter in 1999. However, the segment's quarterly Macintosh unit sales decreased 6% on a year-over-year basis. The Japan segment's unit sales during the third quarter of 2000 as compared to the same quarter in 1999 while Macintosh unit sales increased 12%. The increase in net sales was primarily the result of increased unit sales of professional oriented products and iBook, partially offset by a moderate declinereflect declines in unit sales of iMac.the Company's desktop products, particularly iMac, prior to the anticipated product introductions in the fourth quarter, partially offset by increases in sales of portable products. This shift in mix towards higher-priced portable products led to the year-over-year increase in net sales. GROSS MARGIN Gross margin for the secondthird quarter of 2000 was 28.2%29.8% compared to 26.3%27.4% for the same quarter in 1999 and 25.9%28.2% for the firstsecond quarter of 2000. Gross margin during the secondthird quarter of 2000 was favorably impacted by threetwo principal factors. First, component costs incurred to manufacture the Company's products were lower during the secondthird quarter of 2000 compared to both the previous quarters. In particular, costs for DRAM fell closequarter and to levels not experienced since the fourthsame quarter ofin 1999. Second, freight costs declined sequentially fromduring the firstthird quarter of 2000 because substantially higher air freight costs were incurred during the first quarter of 2000 compared to the second quarter in order to get products introduced during the first quarter into the sales channel in time for the holiday selling season. Third, the Company's overallmix of product mixsales shifted somewhat away from its consumer products towards higher-priced,its higher margin professional products. Net sales of Power Macintoshdesktop and PowerBook products accounted for 48.2% of total net sales during the second quarter of 2000 and 39.2% of net sales during the first quarter of 2000.portable products. There can be no assurance targeted gross margin levels will be achieved or current margins on existing individual products will be maintained. In general, gross margins and margins on individual products will remain under significant downward pressure due to a variety of factors, including continued industry wide global pricing pressures, increased competition, compressed product life cycles, potential increases in the cost and availability of raw material and outside manufacturing services, fluctuations in freight costs incurred to deliver the Company's products to market, and potential changes to the Company's product mix, including higher unit sales of consumer products with lower average selling prices and lower gross margins. In response to these downward pressures, the Company expects it will continue to take pricing actions with respect to its products. Gross margins could also be affected by the Company's ability to effectively manage quality problems and warranty costs and to stimulate demand for certain of its products. The Company's operating strategy and pricing take into account anticipated changes in foreign currency exchange rates over time; however, the Company's results of operations can be significantly affected in the short term by fluctuations in exchange rates. 14 OPERATING EXPENSES Selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding special charges, increased $48$35 million or 20%14% during secondthe third quarter of 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999 and decreased sequentially $32declined $9 million or 10%3% from the firstsecond quarter of 2000. The sequential decline from the first quarter of 2000 reflects 15 the typical seasonal decline in advertising and promotional activity associated with the 1999 holiday season. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first sixnine months of 2000 increased $88$123 million or 17%16% as compared to the same period in 1999. However, as a result of growing net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses fell to 14% of net sales during the first sixnine months of 2000 compared to 16% during the same period in 1999. The absolute year-over-year increases in selling, general and administrative expenses for both the secondthird quarter and the first sixnine months of 2000 isare primarily the result of higher variable selling and marketing expenses resulting from the year-over-year increase in net sales and due to higher discretionary spending on marketing and advertising in 2000 as compared to 1999. Expenditures for research and development increased 21% between the secondthird quarter of fiscal 2000 and the same quarter in 1999 and increased 20% during the first sixnine months of 2000 compared to the same period in 1999. These increases resulted primarily from increased spending in 2000 to support product development activities and increased research and development headcount. SPECIAL CHARGES During the first quarter of 2000, the Company initiated restructuring actions resulting in recognition of an $8 million restructuring charge. This charge was comprised of $3 million for the write-off of various operating assets and $5 million for severance payments to approximately 95 employees associated with consolidation of various domestic and international sales and marketing functions. Of the $5 million accrued for severance, $1.7$2.5 million had been spent by AprilJuly 1, 2000, and the remainder is expected to be spent over the following two quarters. Of the $3 million accrued for the write-off of various assets, substantially all was utilized by April 1, 2000. During the first quarter of 2000, the Company's Board of Directors approved a special executive bonus for the Company's Chief Executive Officer for past services in the form of an aircraft with a total cost to the company of approximately $90 million, the majority of which is not tax deductible. Approximately half of the total charge is the cost of the aircraft. The other half represents all other costs and taxes associated with the purchase. TOTAL INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME, NET Interest and other income and expense (net) increased $30$28 million or 158%117% to $49$52 million during the secondthird quarter of 2000 compared to the same quarter in 1999 and increased $60$88 million or 207%166% for the first sixnine months of 2000 over the same period in 1999. These increases are attributable primarily to two factors. First, interest income increased $18 million or 48% between the Company'sthird quarter of 2000 and the third quarter of 1999 as a result of higher cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments wereinvestment balances and due to an increase in the overall yield earned on the Company's investment portfolio resulting from higher by approximately $687 million or 24% at the endmarket interest rates and a modest lengthening of the second quarter of 2000 versus the same balances at the end the second quarter of 1999. This resulted in a $16 million or 48% increase in interest income between the second quarter of 2000 and the second quarter of 1999 and an increase of $31 million or 48% for the comparable six month periods.portfolio's average maturity. Second, as the result of conversion to common stock of the Company's convertible subordinated debentures during the third quarter of 1999, interest expense declined $10$6 million or 67%55% during the secondthird quarter of 2000 compared to the same quarter in 1999 and decreased $21$27 million or 68%64% for the comparable sixnine month periods. During the secondthird quarter of 2000, the Company sold approximately 1.55 million shares of ARM stock for net proceeds of approximately $101$51 million and a gain before taxes of $100$50 million. ForDuring the six-month periodnine months ended on AprilJuly 1, 2000, the Company has sold approximately 6.7 million shares of ARM stock for net proceeds of $237 million and a gain before taxes of $234 million. During the second quarter of 1999, the Company sold approximately 8.038 million shares of ARM stock for net proceeds of approximately $59$288 million and a gaingains before taxes of $55approximately $284 million. ForDuring the six-month period ended on March 27,third quarter of 1999, the Company sold approximately 19.650 million shares of ARM stock for net proceeds of $96$105 million and a gain before taxes of $87$101 million. During the nine months ended June 26, 1999, the Company sold approximately 148 million shares of ARM stock for net proceeds of approximately $201 million and a gain before taxes of approximately $188. 15 PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES As of AprilJuly 1, 2000, the Company had deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences, tax losses, and tax credits of $580$535 million before being offset against certain deferred tax liabilities for presentation on the Company's balance sheet. A substantial portion of this asset is realizable based on the ability to offset existing deferred tax liabilities. As of AprilJuly 1, 2000, a valuation allowance of $45$40 million was recorded against the deferred tax asset for the benefits of tax losses that may not be realized. The valuation allowance 16 primarily relates to the operating loss carryforwards acquired from NeXT and to tax benefits in certain foreign jurisdictions. The Company will continue to evaluate the realizability of the deferred tax assets quarterly by assessing the need for and amount of the valuation allowance. The Company's effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2000 was approximately 33% and includes the effect of the special executive bonus accrued during that quarter. The effective tax rate during the first quarter of 2000 without this charge was approximately 25%. The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended AprilJuly 1, 2000, was approximately 27% which brings the26%. The effective tax rate without the special executive bonus for the sixnine months ended AprilJuly 1, 2000, tois also 26%. This effective rate is less than the statutory federal income tax rate of 35% due primarily to the reversal of a portion of the previously established valuation allowance for tax loss and credit carryforwards and certain undistributed foreign earnings for which no U.S. taxes were provided. THE COMPANY CURRENTLY BELIEVES THAT ITS EFFECTIVE TAX RATE FOR THE REMAINDER OF 2000 WILL BE APPROXIMATELY 26%. THE COMPANY ANTICIPATES THAT ITS EFFECTIVE TAX RATE WILL INCREASE IN 2001. THE FOREGOING STATEMENTS ARE FORWARD-LOOKING. THE COMPANY'S ACTUAL RESULTS COULD DIFFER BECAUSE OF SEVERAL FACTORS, INCLUDING THOSE SET FORTH BELOW IN THE SUBSECTION ENTITLED "FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION." ADDITIONALLY, THE ACTUAL FUTURE TAX RATE WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTED BY THE AMOUNT OF AND JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE COMPANY'S FOREIGN PROFITS ARE EARNED.16 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The following table presents selected financial information and statistics for each of the quarters ending on the dates indicated (dollars in millions):

(c) Based on ending accounts payable and most recent quarterly cost of sales adjusted for the change in inventory. As of AprilJuly 1, 2000, the Company had approximately $3.6$3.8 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, an increase of $383$600 million over the same balances at the end of fiscal 1999. For the sixnine months ended AprilJuly 1, 2000, the Company's primary source of cash was $434$668 million in cash flows from operating activities. Cash generated by operations was primarily from net income of $416$616 million and a combined increase in accounts payable and other current liabilities of $368$392 million partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $259$286 million. In addition to operating cash flow, other significant cash flow items during the sixnine months ended AprilJuly 1, 2000 included net purchases of short-term investments of $47$582 million, $216$232 million utilized for the purchase of long-term investments, $65$76 million for the purchase of property, plant and equipment, and cash proceeds from the sale of ARM stock of $237$288 million. In July 1999, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a plan for the Company to repurchase up to $500 million of its common stock. This repurchase plan does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares or acquire shares over any specified period of time. During the secondthird quarter of 2000, noapproximately 1 million shares of common stock were repurchased.repurchased at a cost of approximately $50 million. Since inception of the stock repurchase plan, the Company has repurchased 1.75a total of 4.5 million shares of its common stock at a total cost of $116$166 million. On November 18, 1999, the Company entered into a $100 million revolving credit agreement with Bank of America. Loans under the agreement pay interest at LIBOR 17 plus 1%, and the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of 0.2% of the unused portion of the credit facility. No advances have been made against this credit facility. This revolving credit agreement is intended to provide the Company with an additional source of short-term liquidity. The Company believes its balances of cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, and available credit facilities will be sufficient to meet its cash requirements over the next twelve months, including any cash that may be utilized by its stock repurchase plan. However, given the Company's current non-investment grade debt ratings, if the Company should need to obtain short-term borrowings, there can no assurance such borrowings could be obtained at favorable rates. The inability to obtain such borrowings at favorable rates could materially adversely affect the Company's results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity. OTHER INVESTMENTS The Company holds significant investments in ARM, Samsung, Akamai and Earthlink.EarthLink. These investments are reflected in the consolidated balancesbalance sheets as non-current debt and equity investments and have been categorized as available-for-sale requiring that they be carried at fair value with unrealized gains and 17 losses, net of taxes, reported in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. The combined fair value of these investments was $1.544$1.236 billion and $339 million as of AprilJuly 1, 2000, and September 25, 1999, respectively. The combined fair value of these investments has declined to approximately $1.215 billion as of May 5, 2000. The Company believes it is likely there will continue to be significant fluctuations in the fair value of these investments in the future. Additional information regarding these investment may be found in this Form 10-Q in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at Note 4, "Non-Current Debt and Equity Investments." FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION The Company operates in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of uncertainties, some of which are beyond the Company's control. In addition to the uncertainties described elsewhere in this report, there are many factors that will affect the Company's future results and business, which may cause the actual results to differ from those currently expected. The Company's future operating results and financial condition isare dependent upon the Company's ability to successfully develop, manufacture, and market technologically innovative products in order to meet dynamic customer demand patterns. Inherent in this process are a number of factors that the Company must successfully manage in order to achieve favorable future operating results and a favorable financial condition. Potential risks and uncertainties that could affect the Company's future operating results and financial condition include, among other things, continued competitive pressures in the marketplace and the effect of any reaction by the Company to such competitive pressures, including pricing actions by the Company; risks associated with international operations, including economic and labor conditions, regional economic problems, political instability, tax laws, and currency fluctuations; increasing dependence on third-parties for manufacturing and other outsourced functions such as logistics; the availability of key components on terms acceptable to the Company; the continued availability of certain components and services essential to the Company's business currently obtained by the Company from sole or limited sources, including PowerPC RISC microprocessors developed by and obtained from IBM and Motorola and the final assembly of certain of the Company's products; the Company's ability to supply products in certain categories; the Company's ability to supply products free of latent defects or other faults; the Company's ability to make timely delivery to the marketplace of technological innovations, including its ability to continue to make timely delivery of planned enhancements to the current Mac OS and timely delivery of future versions of the Mac OS; the availability of third-party software for particular applications; the Company's ability to attract, motivate and retain key employees; the effect of previously undetected Y2K compliance issues; managing the continuing impact of the European Union's transition to the Euro as its common legal currency; continuing fluctuations in the fair value of the Company's non-current debt and equity investments, and the Company's ability to retain the operational and cost benefits derived from its recently completed restructuring programs. For a discussion of these and other factors affecting the Company's future results and financial condition, see "Item 7 -- Management's Discussion and Analysis -- Factors That May Affect Future Results and Financial Condition" in the Company's 1999 Form 10-K. 18 ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK THE INFORMATION PRESENTED BELOW REGARDING MARKET RISK CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES. THE COMPANY'S ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER SIGNIFICANTLY FROM THOSE DISCUSSED BELOW AND ELSEWHERE IN THIS FORM 10-Q REGARDING MARKET RISK. THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE 1999 FORM 10-K AND THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES THERETO INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS FORM 10-Q. The Company's exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Company's investments in debt securities and long-term debt obligations and related derivative financial instruments. The Company places its investments with high credit quality issuers and, by policy, limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. The Company's general policy is to limit the risk of principal loss and ensure the safety of invested funds by limiting market and credit risk. Excluding those investments classified as non-current debt and equity investments, all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents; investments with maturities between three and twelve months are considered to be short-term investments. As of AprilJuly 1, 2000, substantially all of the Company's investments in debt securities have maturities less than 12 months. During the last two years, the Company has entered into interest rate derivative transactions, including interest rate swaps and floors, with financial institutions in order to better match the Company's floating-rate interest income on its cash equivalents and short-term investments with its fixed-rate interest expense on its long-term debt, and/or to diversify a portion of the Company's exposure away from fluctuations in short-term U.S. interest rates. The Company may also enter into interest rate contracts that are intended to reduce the cost of the interest rate risk management program. The Company does not hold or transact in such financial instruments for purposes other than risk management. Overall, the Company is a net receiver of currencies other than the U.S. dollar and, as such, benefits from a weaker dollar and is adversely affected by a stronger dollar relative to major currencies worldwide. Accordingly, changes in exchange rates, and in particular a strengthening of the U.S. dollar, may negatively affect the Company's net sales and gross margins as expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company enters into foreign exchange forward and option contracts with financial institutions primarily to protect against currency exchange risks associated with existing assets and liabilities, certain firmly committed transactions, and probable but not firmly committed transactions. The Company's foreign exchange risk management policy requires it to hedge a majority of its existing material foreign exchange transaction exposures. However, the Company may not hedge certain foreign exchange transaction exposures that are immaterial either in terms of their minimal U.S. dollar value or in terms of the related currency's historically high correlation with the U.S. dollar. Foreign exchange forward contracts are carried at fair value in other current liabilities. The premium costs of purchased foreign exchange option contracts are recorded in other current assets and marked to market through earnings. To ensure the adequacy and effectiveness of the Company's foreign exchange and interest rate hedge positions, as well as to monitor the risks and opportunities of the nonhedge portfolios, the Company continually monitors its foreign exchange forward and option positions, and its interest rate swap, option and floor positions both on a stand-alone basis and in conjunction with its underlying foreign currency and interest rate related exposures, respectively, from both an accounting and an economic perspective. However, given the effective horizons of the Company's risk management activities and the anticipatory nature of the exposures intended to hedge, there can be no assurance the aforementioned programs will offset more than a portion of the adverse financial impact resulting from unfavorable movements in either foreign exchange or interest rates. In addition, the timing of the accounting for recognition of gains and losses related to mark-to-market instruments for any given period may not coincide with the timing of gains and losses related to the underlying economic exposures and, therefore, may adversely affect the Company's operating results and financial position. 19 For a complete description of the Company's interest rate and foreign currency related market risks, see the discussion in Part II, Item 7A of the Company's 1999 Form 10-K. There has not been a material change in the Company's exposure to interest rate and foreign currency risks since the date of the 1999 Form 10-K. 19 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims which are discussed in the 1999 Form 10-K. The Company is also subject to certain other legal proceedings and claims which have arisen in the ordinary course of business and which have not been fully adjudicated. The results of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty; however, in the opinion of management, the Company does not have a potential liability related to any legal proceedings and claims that would have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.
