2. New Accounting Pronouncements
The Company adopted Statement of

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 141, “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141), Statement46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (FIN 46). Variable interest entities often are created for a single specified purpose, for example, to facilitate securitization, leasing, hedging, research and development, or other transactions or arrangements. This interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “GoodwillStatements,” defines what these variable interest entities are and Other Intangible Assets” (SFAS 142)provides guidelines on identifying them and Statementassessing an enterprise’s interests in a variable interest entity to decide whether to consolidate that entity. Generally, FIN 46 applies to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. For existing variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003, the provision of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (SFAS 144) atthis interpretation will apply no later than the beginning of the 2002 fiscal year.first interim or annual reporting period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company does not expect the adoption of these standards did notFIN 46 to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial statements.

In July 2002,May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146150, “Accounting for Costs AssociatedCertain Financial Instruments with ExitCharacteristics of both Liabilities and Equity,” (SFAS 150) which addresses how to classify and measure certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities (or an asset in some circumstances) and equity – as either debt or Disposal Activities” (SFAS 146).equity in the balance sheet. SFAS 146 addresses150 requirements apply to issuers’ classification and measurement of freestanding financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exitinstruments, including those that comprise more than one option or disposal activities and nullifies EITF Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)” (EITF 94-3). The principal difference betweenforward contract. SFAS 146 and EITF 94-3 relates to SFAS 146’s timing for recognition of a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity. SFAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under EITF 94-3 a liability for an exit cost as generally defined in EITF 94-3 was recognized at the date of an entity’s commitment to an exit plan.

3. Available-For-Sale SecuritiesStock-Based Incentive Compensation Plans

The Company uses the intrinsic value method to account for stock options issued to its employees under its stock option plans and amortizes deferred compensation, if any, over the vesting period of the options. Compensation expense resulting from the issuance of fixed term stock option awards is measured as the difference between the exercise price of the option and the fair market value of the underlying share of company stock subject to the option on the award’s grant date. For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the Company estimates the fair value of its stock-based awards to employees using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The pro forma effect on net earnings and net earnings per share are as follows for the quarters and six-month periods ended June 29, 2003 and June 30, 2002.

10.Business Acquisition
On February 19, 2002, the Company completed the acquisition of Alchemy Semiconductor, Inc. (Alchemy), a privately held company, for approximately $30 million in cash consideration to Alchemy stockholders. Alchemy designed, developed and marketed low-power, high performance microprocessors for personal connectivity devices such as personal digital assistants (PDAs), web tablets and portable and wired Internet access devices and gateways.
The Company accounted for the acquisition using the purchase method and the assets and operations acquired were combined with the Company’s Core Products segment. Approximately $2.9 million of the purchase price represented acquired in-process research and development (IPR&D) that had not yet reached technological feasibility and had no alternative future use. The $2.9 million was expensed upon the acquisition of Alchemy. In addition, the Company recorded $18.7 million of goodwill based on the residual difference between the amount paid and the fair values assigned to identified tangible and intangible assets using an independent valuation.

11. Restructuring and Other Special Charges

2002 Restructuring Plan

In fiscal 2001December 2002, the Company announcedbegan implementing a restructuring plan (the 20012002 Restructuring Plan), due to a slowdownalign its cost structure to industry conditions resulting from weak customer demand and industry-wide excess inventory. The 2002 Restructuring Plan will result in the semiconductor industry and a resulting decline in revenues. In connection with the plan, the Company closed Fabs 14 andreduction of approximately 2,000 positions or 15 in Austin, Texas in June 2002. These facilities supported certainpercent of the Company’s older products andemployees, affecting all levels of its Foundry Service operations, which were discontinued asworkforce in almost every organization. As part of this plan, and as a result of the plan.Company’s technology agreement with IBM to develop future generations of the Company’s logic process technology, the Company has ceased its silicon processing associated with logic research and development in its Submicron Development Center (SDC) in Sunnyvale, California and has eliminated most of those related resources, including the sale or abandonment of certain equipment used in the SDC.

The 2002 Restructuring Plan has resulted in the consolidation of facilities, primarily at the Company’s Sunnyvale, California site and at sales offices worldwide. The Company is in the process of vacating, and attempting to sublease, certain facilities currently occupied under long-term operating leases. The Company has also reorganized related manufacturing facilitiesterminated the implementation of certain partially completed enterprise resource planning (ERP) software and reduced relatedother information technology implementation activities, primarilyresulting in Penang, Malaysia along with associated administrative support.

the abandonment of certain software, hardware and capitalized development costs.

Pursuant to the 20012002 Restructuring Plan, the Company recorded restructuring costs and other special charges of $89.3$330.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2002, consisting primarily of $34.1$68.8 million of anticipated severance and fringe benefit costs, $13.0an asset impairment charge of $32.5 million relating to a license that had no future use because of its association with discontinued logic development activities, asset impairment charges of $30.6 million resulting from the abandonment of equipment previously used in logic process development and $3.2 million ofmanufacturing activities, anticipated exit costs of $138.9 million primarily related to closevacating and consolidating the Company’s facilities and $55.5 million resulting from the abandonment of partially completed ERP software and other information technology implementation activities.

The Company expects to substantially complete the activities associated with the 2002 Restructuring Plan by the end of December 2003. As of June 29, 2003, 1,429 employees had been terminated pursuant to the 2002 Restructuring Plan resulting in Austincumulative cash payments of $47 million for severance and Asia, mostlyemployee benefit costs.

During the first quarter of 2003, management approved the sale of additional equipment, primarily equipment used in Penang, and $28.7 million and $10.3the SDC, that had been identified as no longer useful in the Company’s operations. As a result, the Company recorded approximately $11 million of non-cash asset impairment charges in Austinthe first quarter of 2003, including $3.3 million of charges for decommission costs necessary to complete the equipment’s sale.

As of September 29, 2002, 2,209 employees had been terminated resulting in cash payments of approximately $35.8 million in severance and employee benefit costs, of which $1.7 million wasvalue. Both amounts were included in current year results of operations. 720 of these positions were associated with closing Fabs 14restructuring and 15 in Austin. The balance of the reductions resulted from reorganizing activities primarily in Penang, Malaysia, along with associated administrative support. While the planned facilities closures had been completed as of September 29, 2002, related de-commissioning costs are expected to be incurred over the next nine months.

Dresden Term Loan Agreements and Dresden Intercompany Guarantee

AMD Saxony Limited Liability Company & Co. KG, (AMD Saxony, formerly known as AMD Saxony Manufacturing GmbH), an indirect wholly-owned German subsidiary of AMD, continues to facilitize Fab 30, which began production in the third quarter of 2000. AMD, the Federal Republic of Germany, the State of Saxony, and a consortium of banks are providing financing for the project.

In August 2002,March 1997, AMD Saxony entered into a loan agreement and other related agreements (the Dresden Loan Agreements) with a consortium of banks led by Dresdner Bank AG, a German financial institution, in order to finance the Subsidy Agreement withproject.

Because most of the amounts under the Dresden Loan Agreements were denominated in deutsche marks (converted to euros), the dollar amounts discussed below are subject to change based on applicable conversion rates. The Company used the exchange rate that was permanently fixed on January 1, 1999, of 1.95583 deutsche marks to one euro for the conversion of deutsche marks to euros, and then used the exchange rate of 0.875 euro to one U.S. dollar as of June 29, 2003, to translate the amounts denominated in deutsche marks into U.S. dollars.

The Dresden Loan Agreements, as amended, provide for the funding of the construction and facilitization of Fab 30. The funding consists of:

equity contributions, subordinated and revolving loans and loan guarantees from, and full cost reimbursement through, AMD;

loans from a consortium of banks; and

grants, subsidies and loan guarantees from the Federal Republic of Germany and the State of Saxony.

The Dresden Loan Agreements require that the Company partially fund Fab 30 project costs in the form of subordinated and revolving loans to, or equity investments in, AMD Saxony. In accordance with the terms of the Dresden Loan Agreements, as of June 29, 2003, the balances were $168 million of subordinated loans, $197 million of revolving loans and $286 million of equity investments in AMD Saxony, wasnet of repayments. These amounts have been eliminated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In addition to support from AMD, the consortium of banks referred to above made available up to $877 million in loans to AMD Saxony to help fund Fab 30 project costs. The loans have been fully drawn and a portion has been repaid. AMD Saxony had $627 million of such loans outstanding as of June 29, 2003, which is included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

The Dresden Loan Agreements, as amended, also require that the Company:

provide interim funding to increaseAMD Saxony if either the maximum amount ofremaining capital investment grants and allowances availableor the remaining interest subsidies are delayed, such funding to the Company from $251 millionbe repaid to $407 million. Interest subsidies available to the Company amounting to $146 million remain unchanged. The Subsidy

-13-


Agreement imposes conditions onAMD as AMD Saxony includingreceives the requirement to attain certain employment levels by December 2003 and to maintain those levels until December 2008. Noncompliance with the conditions of the grants and subsidies could result in the forfeiture of all or a portion of the future amounts to be received, as well as the repayment of all or a portion of the amounts received to date. There have been no conditions of noncompliance through September 29, 2002 that would result in forfeiture of any of the subsidies. The investment grants and allowances or subsidies from the State of Saxony;

fund shortfalls in government subsidies resulting from any default under the Subsidy Agreement caused by AMD Saxony or its affiliates; and

guarantee up to 50 percent of AMD Saxony’s obligations under the Dresden Loan Agreements, which guarantee must not be less than $127 million or more than $343 million, until the bank loans are repaid in full. As of June 29, 2003, the maximum exposure and subsidiesthe amount outstanding under the guarantee was $314 million.

As AMD Saxony’s obligations under the Dresden Loan Agreements are beingincluded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, no incremental liability is recorded under the Dresden guarantee.

AMD Saxony would be in default under the Dresden Loan Agreements if the Company, AMD Saxony, AMD Saxony Holding GmbH (AMD Holding), AMD Saxony Admin GmbH or AMD Saxony LLC failed to comply with certain obligations thereunder or upon the occurrence of certain events, including:

the Company’s failure to fund equity contributions or loans or otherwise comply with the Company’s obligations relating to the Dresden Loan Agreements;

the sale of shares in AMD Saxony, AMD Holding, AMD Saxony Admin GmbH or AMD Saxony LLC;

the failure to pay material obligations;

the occurrence of a material adverse change or filings or proceedings in bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company, AMD Saxony, AMD Holding, AMD Saxony Admin GmbH or AMD Saxony LLC;

the occurrence of a default under the Company’s July 2003 Loan Agreement (See Note 12); and

noncompliance with specified financial covenants.

Generally, any default with respect to borrowings made or guaranteed by AMD that results in recourse to the Company of more than $2.5 million and that is not cured by the Company, would result in a cross-default under the Dresden Loan Agreement. As of June 29, 2003, the Company was in compliance with all conditions of the Dresden Loan Agreements.

In the event the Company is unable to meet its obligations to AMD Saxony as required under the Dresden Loan Agreements, the Company will be in default under the Dresden Loan Agreements, which would permit acceleration of certain indebtedness, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The occurrence of a default under the Dresden Loan Agreements would likely result in a cross-default under the Indentures governing the Company’s 4.75% Debentures and 4.50% Notes.

Advanced Mask Technology Center and Maskhouse Building Administration Guarantees

The Advanced Mask Technology Center GmbH & Co. KG (AMTC), and Maskhouse Building Administration GmbH & Co., KG (BAC), are joint ventures formed by AMD, Infineon Technologies AG and DuPont Photomasks, Inc. for the purpose of constructing and operating a new advanced photomask facility in Dresden, Germany. To finance the project, BAC entered into an $86 million bridge loan in June 2002, and BAC and AMTC entered into a $137 million revolving credit facility and an $86 million term loan in December 2002. When drawn, the term loan will replace the bridge loan. Also in December 2002, in order to occupy the photomask facility, BAC and AMTC entered into a rental agreement. With regard to these commitments by BAC and AMTC, the Company guaranteed up to approximately $29 million plus interest and expenses under the bridge loan, up to approximately $37 million plus interest and expenses under the revolving loan, up to approximately $29 million plus interest and expenses under the term loan (which will replace the bridge loan guarantee when the term loan is drawn), and up to approximately $18 million, initially, under the rental agreement. The obligations under the rental agreement guarantee diminish over time through 2011 as the term loan is repaid. However, under certain circumstances of default by the other tenant of the photomask facility under the rental agreement and more than one joint venture partner under its guarantee obligations, the maximum potential amount of the Company’s obligations under the rental agreement guarantee is approximately $134 million. As of June 29, 2003, $74 million was outstanding under the bridge loan, and no amounts were drawn under the revolving credit facility or the term loan.

The Company has not recorded any liability in its consolidated financial statements associated with these guarantees.

Warranties and Indemnities

At the time revenue is recognized, the Company provides for estimated costs that may be incurred under product warranties, with the corresponding expense recognized in cost of sales. Estimates of warranty expense are based on historical experience. Remaining warranty accruals are evaluated periodically and are adjusted for changes in experience.

The Company generally offers a three-year limited warranty to end users for certain of its boxed microprocessor products, and a one-year limited warranty only to direct purchasers for all other products.

Changes in the Company’s potential liability for product warranty during the six months ended June 29, 2003 were as follows (in thousands):

  $21,591 
   


In addition to product warranties, the Company, from time to time, in its normal course of business, indemnifies other parties with whom it enters into contractual relationships, including customers, lessors and parties to other transactions with the Company, with respect to certain matters. The Company has agreed to hold the other party harmless against specified losses, such as those arising from a breach of representations or covenants, third party claims that the Company’s products when used for their intended purpose(s) infringe the intellectual property rights of such third party or other claims made against certain parties. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount of liability under these indemnification obligations due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances that are likely to be involved in each particular claim. Historically, payments made by the Company under these obligations were not material.

Fujitsu contributed its Flash memory division including related inventory, $140 million in cash and its Fujitsu Microelectronics (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. final assembly and test operations. The Company and Fujitsu also contributed the existing Manufacturing Joint Venture located in Aizu-Wakamatsu, which became a wholly owned subsidiary of FASL LLC. Fujitsu also loaned to FASL LLC $40 million pursuant to a promissory note. The terms of Fujitsu’s note are substantially similar to the terms of the Company’s note.

The Company holds a majority voting and economic interest in FASL LLC and controls its operations. Accordingly, the Company will consolidate the operations and financial position of FASL LLC in its consolidated third quarter 2003 financial statements as of the date of commencement of FASL LLC operations. For accounting purposes, the Company is deemed to have acquired an incremental 10 percent interest in the existing Manufacturing Joint Venture and 60 percent interest in the assets contributed by Fujitsu. In addition, the Company is deemed to have sold 40 percent of its interest in its contributed assets, excluding its interest in the existing manufacturing joint venture. An independent fair market value appraisal for this transaction is currently in process and is expected to be completed by the end of the third quarter. Based on the results of the appraisal, during the third quarter of 2003, the Company may be required to recognize a gain or loss on the sale of its interests in the assets contributed to FASL LLC. At this time the Company cannot estimate the results of the appraisal or the gain or loss, if any, that would be recognized as a reductionresult of related operating expenses ratably overthis transaction.

Amendment of Note Payable to Bank

On July 7, 2003, the lifeCompany amended and restated its 1999 Loan and Security Agreement with a consortium of banks led by a domestic financial institution (the July 2003 Loan Agreement). The July 2003 Loan Agreement provides for a secured revolving line of credit of up to $200 million that expires in July of 2007. The Company can borrow, subject to amounts that may be set aside by the agreement.

Oflenders, up to 85 percent of its eligible accounts receivable from OEMs and 50 percent of its eligible accounts receivable from distributors. The Company must comply with certain financial covenants if the interest subsidies receivedlevel of net domestic cash (as defined in the nine months ended SeptemberJuly 2003 Loan Agreement) it holds declines below $200 million. At June 29, 2002, approximately $25 million is restricted from2003, net domestic cash, as defined, totaled $416 million. The July 2003 Loan Agreement restricts the Company’s accessability to pay cash dividends on its common stock if the level of its net domestic cash declines below $200 million. The Company’s obligations under the July 2003 Loan Agreement are secured by all of its accounts receivable, inventory, general intangibles and the related proceeds. FASL LLC’s assets, accounts receivable, inventory and general intangibles are not pledged as security for more than one year,the Company’s obligations. As of June 29, 2003, no amount was outstanding under the July 2003 Loan Agreement.

Amendment and is therefore included in Other Assets.

13.    Recent Developments
Assignment of September 2002 Loan Agreement

On November 7, 2002,July 11, 2003, the Company announced thatamended its September 2002 Loan Agreement and assigned it to FASL LLC. Under the Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement (the July 2003 FASL Term Loan), amounts borrowed bear interest at a variable rate of LIBOR plus four percent, which was formulating a restructuring plan (the5.1 percent at June 29, 2003. Repayment occurs in equal, consecutive, quarterly principal and interest installments ending in September 2006. As of June 29, 2003, $96 million was outstanding under the September 2002 Restructuring Plan) to addressLoan Agreement. Following the continuing industry-wide weaknessassignment, as of July 11, 2003, $89.4 million was outstanding under the July 2003 FASL Term Loan. The Company guaranteed 60 percent of this amount. FASL LLC must also comply with additional financial covenants if its net domestic cash balance (as defined in the semiconductor industry and to adjust its cost structure. Pursuant toJuly 2003 FASL Term Loan Agreement) declines below $130 million through the 2002 Restructuring Plan, the Company intends to reduce its fixed costs as a percentagefirst quarter of total costs over time from approximately 80 percent to approximately 70 percent. The Company also expects to reduce its expenses by approximately $1002004, $120 million per quarter bybetween the second quarter of 2003. 2004 through 2005 and $100 million in 2006. At any time that net domestic cash is less than these thresholds, FASL LLC must also maintain minimum levels of adjusted tangible net worth and EBITDA and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio.

Manufacturing Joint Venture Loan Refinancing

As a result of the execution of the FASL LLC agreements with Fujitsu, the existing Manufacturing Joint Venture’s third party loans were refinanced from the proceeds of a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $150 million entered into between a wholly owned subsidiary of FASL LLC and a Japanese financial institution. Fujitsu guaranteed 100 percent of the amounts outstanding under this facility. In turn, the Company expects total expensesagreed to pay Fujitsu 60 percent of any amount paid by Fujitsu under its guarantee of this facility. Because AMD will consolidate FASL LLC, the full amount of the third party loan will be reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Sale Leaseback Transaction

On July 18, 2003, to be reduced by $350 million based on current product demand forecasts.a wholly owned subsidiary of FASL LLC entered into a sale and leaseback transaction for certain equipment with a third party financial institution in the amount of $100 million. The Company cannot, however, be sure that the goalsguaranteed up to approximately $50 million, or 50 percent, of the 2002 Restructuring Plan will be realized. The 2002 Restructuring Plan is expected to result in pre-tax restructuring and related charges to earnings of several hundred million dollars inoutstanding obligations, under the fourth quarter of 2002. The Company also expects approximately one-third of the restructuring and related charges to consist of cash payments.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIESRESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to our investments, allowance for doubtful accounts, revenues, inventories, asset impairments, income taxes, commitments and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We believe the following critical accounting policies relate to those policies that are most important to the presentation of our financial statements and require the most difficult, subjective and complex judgments.
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.    We hold minority interests in companies having operations or possessing technology primarily in areas within our strategic focus, some of which are publicly traded and have highly volatile stock prices. We also make investments in marketable equity and debt securities. We record an investment impairment charge when we believe an investment has experienced a decline in value that is other-than-temporary. In determining if a decline in market value below cost for a publicly traded security or debt instrument is other-than-temporary, we evaluate the relevant market conditions, offering prices, trends of earnings, price multiples and other key measures providing an indication of the instrument’s fair value. For private equity investments, we evaluate the financial condition of the investee, market conditions, trends of earnings and other key factors that provide indicators of the fair market value of the investment. When a decline in value is deemed to be other-than-temporary, we recognize an impairment loss in the current period to the extent of the decline below the carrying value of the investment. Adverse changes in market conditions or poor operating results of underlying investments could result in additional other-than-temporary losses in future periods.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts.    We evaluate the collectibility of our accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. In circumstances where we are aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to us, we record a specific allowance against amounts due to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount we reasonably believe will be collected. For all other customers, we recognize allowances for doubtful accounts based on the length of time the receivables are past due, the current business environment and our historical experience. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate or if economic conditions worsened, additional allowances may be required in the future.
Revenue Reserves.    We record a provision for estimated sales returns and allowances on product sales in the same period as the related revenues are recorded. We base these estimates on historical sales returns and other known factors. Actual returns could be different from our estimates and current provisions for sales returns and allowances, resulting in future charges to earnings.

-16-


Inventory Valuation.    At each balance sheet date, we evaluate our ending inventories for excess quantities and obsolescence. This evaluation includes analyses of sales levels by product and projections of future demand. Inventories on hand, in excess of forecasted demand, generally six months or less, are not valued. In addition, we write off inventories that are considered obsolete. Remaining inventory balances are adjusted to approximate the lower of our standard manufacturing cost or market value. If future demand or market conditions are less favorable than our projections, additional inventory write-downs may be required and would be reflected in cost of sales in the period the revision is made.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.    We consider no less frequently than quarterly whether indicators of impairment of long-lived assets are present. If such indicators are present, we determine whether the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows attributable to the assets in question is less than their carrying value. If less, we recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount of the assets over their respective fair values. Fair value is determined by discounted future cash flows, appraisals or other methods. If the assets determined to be impaired are to be held and used, we recognize an impairment charge to the extent the present value of anticipated net cash flows attributable to the asset are less than the asset’s carrying value. The fair value of the asset then becomes the asset’s new carrying value, which we depreciate over the remaining estimated useful life of the asset. We may incur impairment losses in future periods if factors influencing our estimates change.
Deferred Income Taxes.    We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. We have considered future taxable income and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in determining the need for a valuation allowance. In the event that we determine that we are more likely than not to be unable to realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be charged to earnings in the period such determination is made. Likewise, if we later determine that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets would be realized, then the previously provided valuation allowance would be reversed. Our current valuation allowance also includes the tax benefit from the exercise of employee stock options. In the event tax benefits arising from the exercise of stock options are realized, the valuation allowance would be reversed and credited to capital in excess of par value with no effect on our statement of operations.
Commitments and Contingencies.    From time to time, we are a defendant or plaintiff in various legal actions, which arise in the normal course of business. We are also a party to environmental matters, including local, regional, state and federal governed clean-up activities at or near locations where we currently or have in the past conducted our business. We are also a guarantor of various third-party obligations and commitments. We are required to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to these matters as well as potential ranges of probable losses, or the likelihood of the guarantees being called. A determination of the amount of reserves required for these contingencies, if any, which would be charged to earnings, is made after careful analysis of each individual issue. The required reserves may change in the future due to new developments in each matter or changes in circumstances, such as a change in settlement strategy. Changes in required reserves could increase or decrease our earnings in the period the changes are made.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We operated in two reportable segments:segments during the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2003: the Core Products segment, which reflects the aggregation of the PC processor, memory products and Other IC products operating segments, and the Foundry Services segment. Our Core Products segment includes our PC processor products, Memory products and Other IC products. PC processor products include our seventh-generation microprocessors, theAMD OpteronTM, AMD AthlonTM and AMD DuronTM microprocessors. Memory products include Flash memory devices and Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory, (EPROM)or EPROM devices. Other IC products include embedded processors, networking products, personal connectivity solutions products and platform products, which primarily consist of chipsets, used in PCs.embedded processors, networking products and personal connectivity solutions products. Our Foundry Services segment consistsconsisted of service fees from Legerity, Inc. and Vantis Corporation.
Corporation, our former voice communications products and programmable logic products subsidiaries.We terminated our foundry services arrangement with Legerity in the third quarter of 2002 and will terminate the foundry service arrangement with Vantis in the third quarter of 2003.

We use a 52- to 53-week fiscal year ending on the last Sunday in December. The quarters ended SeptemberJune 29, 2002,2003 and June 30, 2002 and September 30, 2001 each included 13 weeks. The ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 29, 20022003 and SeptemberJune 30, 20012002 each included 3926 weeks.

Net Sales Comparison of Quarters Ended SeptemberJune 29, 20022003 and JuneMarch 30, 20022003

Net sales of $508$645 million for the second quarter of 2003 decreased 10 percent compared to net sales of $715 million for the first quarter of 2003.

PC Processors net sales of $402 million decreased 14 percent in the second quarter of 2003 compared to the first quarter of 2003. The decrease in net sales was due to decreases in both unit sales and average selling prices due to weaker than anticipated channel sales in Asia and Europe. In the third quarter of 2003, we expect PC processors sales to increase due to normal seasonality and improved product mix due to increased shipments of our AMD Opteron microprocessors.

Memory products net sales of $211 million decreased 3 percent in the second quarter of 2003 compared to the first quarter of 2003. The decrease in net sales was due to a decline in average selling prices, caused by a decrease in sales to the high-end cellular phone market in Asia due to issues surrounding the SARS outbreak, partially offset by an increase in unit sales in other geographic areas. In the third quarter of 2003, we expect our reported Flash memory device sales to increase significantly, primarily due to the consolidation of FASL LLC’s sales with ours on our statement of operations beginning June 30, 2003 and also due to increased sales and market share gains in the high-end cellular handset market and recovery of the Asian markets.

Other IC products net sales of $32 million increased 10 percent in the second quarter of 2003 compared to the first quarter of 2003 primarily due to increased chipset sales.

We did not receive foundry services fees in the second quarter of 2003 due to the termination of our foundry services arrangement with Legerity in the third quarter of 2002 decreased by 15and the expected termination of our foundry service arrangement with Vantis in the third quarter of 2003.

Net Sales Comparison of Quarters Ended June 29, 2003 and June 30, 2002

Net sales of $645 million for the second quarter of 2003 increased 7 percent compared to net sales of $600 million for the second quarter of 2002.

During the third quarter of 2002,

PC processorsProcessors net sales of $262$402 million decreased by 31increased 6 percent compared toin the second quarter of 2002. This decrease was due to declines in both average selling prices and unit sales, reflecting industry-wide weakness in PC sales. This decrease also reflected our decision not to accept orders from certain customers, not to ship to certain customers and our receipt of product returns from certain customers, each as part of our efforts to reduce excess PC processor inventory in the overall supply chain. In the fourth quarter of 2002, we expect unit shipments of PC processors to follow seasonal patterns, which generally show increases from third quarter levels. Our ability to increase PC processor revenue in the fourth quarter of 2002 depends upon customer demand for the newest versions of the AMD Athlon processors, an increase of average selling prices and an increase in unit shipments of our PC processors.

Memory products net sales of $189 million increased by eight percent in the third quarter of 20022003 compared to the second quarter of 2002 due primarily to an increase in overallunit shipments, partially offset by a decline in average selling prices.

Memory products net sales of $211 million increased 20 percent in the second quarter of 2003 compared to the second quarter of 2002 due to an increase in average selling prices ascaused by shipping a result of the continued strength of demand in the high-end mobile phone market, which resulted in a shift in the relativehigher density mix of products sold to higher density flash products. We expect sales of Flash memory devices to increaseproduct. This was partially offset by a decline in the fourth quarter of 2002.

We did not receive foundry services fees of $14 million in the thirdsecond quarter of 2002 increased from2003 compared to $6 million in the second quarter of 2002, due to an increase in service fees from Legerity. We expect Foundry Services segment service fees to decrease significantlythe termination of our foundry services arrangement with Legerity in the fourththird quarter of 2002 and the expected termination of our foundry service arrangement with Vantis in the third quarter of 2003.

Net Sales Comparison of Six Months Ended June 29, 2003 and June 30, 2002

Net sales of $1,360 million for the first six months of 2003 decreased by 9 percent compared to net sales of $1,502 million for the first six months of 2002.

PC Processors net sales of $870 million decreased 18 percent in the first six months of 2003 compared to the first six months of 2002 primarily due to a decrease in average selling prices of our microprocessors.

Memory products net sales of $429 million increased 28 percent in the first six months of 2003 compared to the first six months of 2002 due to increases in both unit shipments and average selling prices.

Other IC products net sales of $61 million in the first six months of 2003 decreased 28 percent compared to the first six months of 2002 due to decreases in net sales from networking and embedded processor products.

We did not receive foundry services fees in the first six months of 2003 compared to $18 million in the first six months of 2002 due to the termination of our Foundry Service arrangementsfoundry services arrangement with Legerity which occurred in the third quarter of 2002. We also expect Foundry Services segment service fees to continue to decrease through the third quarter of 2003, when our agreement with Vantis ends.

Net Sales Comparison of Quarters Ended September 29, 2002 and September 30, 2001
Net sales of $508 million for the third quarter of 2002 decreased by 34 percent compared to net sales of $766 million for the third quarter of 2001.
PC processors net sales of $262 million decreased by 44 percent in the third quarter of 2002 compared toand the same quarterexpected termination of 2001. This decrease was due to declines in both average selling prices and unit sales, reflecting industry-wide weakness in PC sales. This decrease also reflected our decisionfoundry service arrangement with Vantis in the third quarter of 2002 not to accept orders from certain customers, not to ship to certain customers and our receipt of product returns from certain customers, each as part of our efforts to reduce excess PC processor inventory in the overall supply chain.
Memory products net sales of $189 million decreased by 10 percent in the third quarter of 2002 compared to the same quarter of 2001 due to a decline in average selling prices, partially offset by an increase in unit shipments.
Other IC products net sales of $43 million in the third quarter of 2002 decreased by 33 percent compared to the same quarter of 2001 primarily due to decreased net sales from platform products.
Foundry Services segment service fees of $14 million in the third quarter of 2002 decreased by 44 percent compared to the same quarter of 2001 due to a decrease in service fees from Legerity and Vantis.
Net Sales Comparison of Nine Months Ended September 29, 2002 and September 30, 2001

This decrease also reflected our decision in the third quarter of 2002 not to accept orders from certain customers, not to ship to certain customers and our receipt of product returns from certain customers, each as part of our efforts to reduce excess PC processor inventory in the overall supply chain.
Memory products net sales of $524 million decreased by 44 percent in the first nine months of 2002 compared to the same period of 2001 due to a decline in both unit shipments and average selling prices as a result of sustained weakness in the overall market.
The Other IC products net sales of $128 million decreased by 33 percent in the first nine months of 2002 compared to the same period of 2001 primarily due to decreased net sales of embedded processors, networking products and platform products.

We operate in an industry characterized by intense competition, rapid product development cycles and high fixed costs due to capital-intensive manufacturing processes, particularly the costs to build and maintain state-of-the-art wafer production facilities required for PC processors and memory devices. As a result, our gross margin percentage is significantly affected by fluctuations in unit salesnew product production costs, product demand and our ability to sell PC processors and memory devices that we manufacture at sustainable average selling prices.

On November 7, 2002, we announced that we were formulating the 2002 Restructuring Plan to address the continuing industry-wide weakness in the semiconductor industry and to adjust our cost structure. Pursuant to the 2002 Restructuring Plan, we intend to reduce our fixed costs as a percentage of total costs over time from approximately 80 percent to approximately 70 percent. We also expect to reduce our expenses by approximately $100 million per quarter by the second quarter of 2003. As a result, we expect total expenses in 2003 to be reduced by $350 million based on current product demand forecasts. We cannot, however, be sure that the goals of the

2002 Restructuring Plan will be realized. The 2002 Restructuring Plan is expected to result in pre-tax restructuring and related charges to earnings of approximately several hundred million dollars in the fourth quarter of 2002. We also expect approximately one-third of the restructuring and related charges to consist of cash payments.

The gross margin percentage of 11 percent in the third quarter of 2002 increased from seven34 percent in the second quarter of 2002 due primarily to a more favorable mix of Flash products sold, a reallocation of manufacturing resources, previously included in costs of goods sold, to2003 increased research and development activities for our upcoming eighth-generation microprocessors based on Hammer technology, and cost savings realized from the closure of our facilities pursuant to the 2001 Restructuring Plan described below. This increase was partially offset by a decline31 percent in the unit shipmentsfirst quarter of 2003 and average selling prices of our PC processors as well as our decision not to accept ordersincreased from certain customers, not to ship to certain customers and our receipt of product returns from certain customers, each as part of our efforts to reduce excess PC processor inventory7 percent in the overall supply chain.second quarter of 2002. The gross margin percentage of 11 percent in the third quarter of 2002 decreased from 22 percent in the third quarter of 2001. The gross margin percentage of 2032 percent for the first ninesix months of 2003 increased from 24 percent for the first six months of 2002. The increase in gross margin percentage in the second quarter of 2003 compared to the first quarter of 2003 was primarily attributable to cost savings realized as a result of our 2002 Restructuring Plan, partially offset by a decrease in average selling prices of both Flash memory devices and PC processor products. The increase in gross margin percentage in the second quarter of 2003 compared to the second quarter in 2002 was primarily due to cost savings realized pursuant to the 2002 Restructuring Plan and due to an increase in revenue. The increase in gross margin percentage in the first six months of 2003 compared to the first six months of 2002 decreased from 34 percent for the same period in 2001. These declines werewas primarily due to a declinecost savings realized pursuant to the 2002 Restructuring Plan, partially offset by decrease in both average selling prices of both Flash memory devices and unit shipments of our PC processors.

processor products.

Research and development expenses of $221$209 million in the thirdsecond quarter of 2003 were relatively flat compared to the first quarter of 2003 and increased 17 percent compared to the second quarter of 2002. Research and development expenses of $412 million in the first six months of 2003 increased 17 percent compared to the first six months of 2002. The increase in research and development expenses in the second quarter of 2003 compared to the second quarter of 2002 increased 24and in the first six months of 2003 compared to the first six months of 2002 was primarily due to higher volume of research and development wafer starts related to our AMD Opteron microprocessors.

We amortize the foreign capital grants, interest subsidies and research and development subsidies that we received from the State of Saxony for Fab 30 as they are earned. The amortization of these grants and subsidies are recognized as credits to research and development expenses and cost of sales. These credits totaled $4.7 and $11.1 million in the second quarter of 2003, $5.4 and $10.9 million in the first quarter of 2003 and $4.2 and $10.8 million in the second quarter of 2002. In the first six months of 2003, these credits totaled $10.1 and $22 million. In the first six months of 2002, these credits totaled $7.6 and $21.2 million.

Marketing, general and administrative expenses of $135 million in the second quarter of 2003 were relatively flat compared to the first quarter of 2003. Marketing, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2003 decreased 16 percent compared to the second quarter of 2002, and 37decreased 14 percent compared to the same quarter in 2001. Research and development expenses of $571 million in the first ninesix months of 2002 increased 17 percent2003 compared to the first ninesix months of 2001.2002. The increase in researchdecreases were primarily a result of cost savings realized as a result of the 2002 Restructuring Plan and development expenses was primarily due to the reallocationdiscontinuation of manufacturing resources, previously included in costs of goods sold, to increased researchcertain marketing and developmentpromotional activities for our upcoming eighth-generation microprocessors based on Hammer technology.

Research and development expenses and cost of sales in the third quarter of 2002 reflected the recognition of $5.2 million and $13.9 million, respectively, of deferred credits on foreign research and development subsidies and investment grants/allowances and interest subsidies that were received from the State of Saxony for Dresden Fab 30. AMD Athlon microprocessor.

In the first nine months of 2002, these credits totaled $12.8 million and $35.1 million, respectively. In the first nine months of 2001, these credits totaled $11.2 million and $31.7 million, respectively.

Marketing, general and administrative expenses of $159 million in the third quarter of 2002 were flat compared to $160 million in the second quarter of 2002 and increased five percent compared to $151 million in the third quarter of 2001. Marketing, general and administrative expenses of $476 million for the first nine months of 2002 increased four percent compared to the first nine months of 2001 primarily due to increased marketing activities associated with our AMD Athlon microprocessor family.
In the third quarter of 2002,2003, interest and other income, net, of $13$5 million increased $4 milliondecreased 26 percent compared to the first quarter of 2003, 43 percent compared to the second quarter of 2002, and increased $24 million36 percent compared to the third quarterfirst six months of 2001. The increase from2002, in each case, primarily due to lower cash and investment balances resulting in lower investment income.

Interest expense in the second quarter of 2002 was primarily due to the gains realized from the sales or maturities of short-term investments. The increase from the third quarter of 2001

was primarily due to $22 million in charges for other-than-temporary declines in the fair value of our investments incurred during the third quarter of 2001. In the first nine months of 2002, interest and other income, net of $31 million2003 increased $11 million compared to the first nine months of 2001. The increase was primarily due to $22 million in charges for other-than-temporary declines in the fair value of our equity investments incurred during the first nine months of 2001, partially offset by lower interest rates and investment balances during the first nine months of 2002.
Interest expense of $21 million in the third quarter of 2002 increased 3168 percent compared to the second quarter of 2002 primarily due to a decrease in the amount of capitalized interest during the third quarter of 2002. Interest expense for the third quarter of 2002 increased $11 million comparedprimarily to the same quartereffect of 2001 primarily due to interest expense incurred on our $500 million 4.75%the 4.50% Convertible Senior Debentures Due 2022, issuedNotes due 2007 sold in November 2002 and the $110 million term loan drawn at the end of January 2002 and a decrease in the amount of capitalized interest incurred during the third quarter ofSeptember 2002. Interest expense of $49$52 million in the first ninesix months of 2002 decreased six2003 increased 87 percent compared to the first ninesix months of 20012002. The increase was due primarily due to a larger amountthe effect of the 4.50% notes sold in November 2002 and the $110 million term loan drawn at the end of September 2002. In addition, we capitalized interest duringof $9 million in the first ninesix months of 2002 offseton continued expansion and facilitization of Fabs 25 and 30 compared to $1.4 million in the first six months of 2003.

In December 2002, we began implementing a restructuring plan (the 2002 Restructuring Plan) to align our cost structure to industry conditions resulting from weak customer demand and industry-wide excess inventory. The 2002 Restructuring Plan will result in the reduction of approximately 2,000 positions or 15 percent of our employees, affecting all levels of our workforce in almost every organization. As part of this plan, and as a result of our technology agreement with IBM to develop future generations of our logic process technology, we have ceased silicon processing associated with logic research and development in our Submicron Development Center (SDC) and have eliminated most of those related resources, including the sale or abandonment of certain equipment used in the SDC.

The 2002 Restructuring Plan has resulted in the consolidation of facilities, primarily at our Sunnyvale, California site and at sales offices worldwide. We are in the process of vacating, and attempting to sublease, certain facilities currently occupied under long-term operating leases. We have also terminated the implementation of certain partially completed enterprise resource planning (ERP) software and other information technology implementation activities, resulting in the abandonment of certain software, hardware and capitalized development costs.

Pursuant to the 2002 Restructuring Plan, we recorded restructuring costs and other special charges of $330.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2002, consisting primarily of $68.8 million of anticipated severance and fringe benefit costs, an asset impairment charge of $32.5 million relating to a license that has no future use because of its association with discontinued logic development activities, asset impairment charges of $30.6 million resulting from the abandonment of equipment previously used in logic process development and manufacturing activities, anticipated exit costs of $138.9 million primarily related to vacating and consolidating our facilities and $55.5 million resulting from the abandonment of partially completed ERP software and other information technology implementation activities.

We expect to substantially complete the activities associated with the 2002 Restructuring Plan by the end of December 2003. As of June 29, 2003, 1,429 employees had been terminated pursuant to the 2002 Restructuring Plan resulting in cumulative cash payments of $47 million in severance and employee benefit costs.

During the first quarter of 2003, management approved the sale of additional interestequipment, primarily equipment used in the SDC, that has been identified as no longer useful in our operations. As a result, we recorded approximately $11 million of asset impairment charges in the first quarter of 2003, including $3.3 million of charges for decommission costs necessary to complete the equipment’s sale.

As a result of the 2002 Restructuring Plan, we currently expect to realize cost reductions of approximately $150 million in 2003. As of June 29, 2003, the actions taken to date, pursuant to the 2002 Restructuring Plan, resulted in actual expense on our $500 million 4.75% Convertible Senior Debentures Due 2022.

reduction of approximately $70 million. We have also implemented cost savings measures which are incremental to the expense reductions resulting from the 2002 Restructuring Plan.

In fiscal 2001, we announced a restructuring plan (the 2001 Restructuring Plan), due to athe continued slowdown in the semiconductor industry and a resulting decline in revenues. In connectionWe have substantially completed our execution of the 2001 Restructuring Plan, with the plan, we closed Fabs 14 and 15 in Austin, Texas in June 2002. These facilities supported certainexception of our older products and Foundry Service operations, which have been discontinued as part of our plan. We also reorganized related manufacturingthe facilities and equipment decommission activities which are expected to be completed by the end of 2003. During the first quarter of 2003, we reduced relatedthe estimated accrual of the facility and equipment decommission costs by $7.4 million based on the most current information available. During the first quarter, we also realized a recovery of approximately $1.6 million from the sale of equipment impaired as a result of the 2001 Restructuring Plan, previously held-for-sale at amounts in excess of its initially estimated fair value. Both amounts were included in restructuring and other special charges, net.

As a result of the 2001 Restructuring Plan, we recorded restructuring costs and other special charges of $89.3 million, consisting of $34.1 million of anticipated severance and fringe benefit costs, $13.0 million and $3.2 million of anticipated exit costs to close facilities in Austin and Asia, mostly in Penang, and $28.7 million and $10.3 million of non-cash asset impairment charges in Austin and Asia, primarily Penang. The asset impairment charges related primarily to buildings and production equipment that were incurred as a result of our decision to implement the restructuring plan. Management determined the fair value of the affected equipment based on market data and conditions.

As of September 29, 2002, 2,209 employees were terminated pursuant to the 2001 Restructuring Plan, resulting in cash payments of approximately $35.8 million in severance and employee benefit costs, of which $1.7 million was included in current year results of operations. 720 of these positions were associated with closing Fabs 14 and 15 in Austin. The balance of the reductions resulted from reorganizing activities primarily in Penang, Malaysia, along with associated administrative support. While the planned facilities closures had been completed as of September 29, 2002, related de-commissioning costs are expected to be incurred over the next nine months.

We recorded an additional charge of $6.9 million during the third quarter of 2001 for the impairment of inventories associated with product lines to be discontinued as part of our 2001 Restructuring Plan. This amount was recorded in cost of sales in our statement of operations.
The table in Note 11 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements summarizes activity under the 2001 Restructuring Plan through September 29, 2002. As a result of this restructuring plan, we expect to realize overall cost reductions of $129 million on an annualized basis. The actions taken to date have resulted in actual savings of approximately $30$83 million in 2002, and additional savings of approximately $64 million in the third quarterfirst six months of 2002.

Income TaxTaxes

We recorded anno income tax benefit of $73 millionagainst our pre-tax losses in the thirdsecond quarter of 20022003 and an income tax benefitprovision of $65$3 million in the thirdfirst quarter of 2001.2003. The income tax provision recorded in the first quarter of 2003 was primarily for taxes due on income generated in certain state and foreign tax jurisdictions. No tax benefit was recorded in the first or second quarter of 2003 on pre-tax losses due to continuing operating losses. The effective tax benefit ratesrate for the quarter and ninesix months ended September 29,June 30, 2002 were 22was 40 and 39 percent, and 30 percent, respectively, reflecting a valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets. The effective tax benefit rates fordue primarily to the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2001 were 26 percent and 12 percent, respectively, reflecting the provisionbenefits of U.S. taxes on certain previously undistributed earnings of low-taxed foreign subsidiaries. The tax benefit on the restructuring charges in the quarter ended September 30, 2001 was $21 million or 24 percent, reflecting the allocation of the charge between U.S. and foreign low-taxed jurisdictions.

Other Items

International sales as a percent of net sales were 7573 percent in the thirdsecond quarter of 20022003 compared to 73 percent in the first quarter of 2003 and 72 percent in the second quarter of 2002 and 68 percent in the third quarter of 2001.2002. International sales as a percent of net sales were 6973 percent in the first ninesix months of 2002 compared to 642003 and 68 percent in the first ninesix months of 2001.2002. During the thirdsecond quarter of 2003 and 2002, approximately onefour percent of our net sales were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The majority of these sales were denominated in euros. The impact on our operating results from changes in foreign currencies, the same ascurrency rates individually and in the second quarteraggregate has not been material, principally as a result of 2002. We do not have sales denominated in local currencies in countries that have highly inflationary economies.

Comparison of Segment Income (Loss)

We operated in two reportable segments during the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2003: the Core Products segment, which reflects the aggregation of the PC processors, memory products and Other IC products operating segments, and the Foundry Services segment. The Core Products segment includes PC processors, Memory products and other IC products. PC processor products include our AMD Opteron, AMD Athlon and AMD Duron microprocessors. Memory products include Flash memory devices and EPROMs. Other IC products include platform products, which primarily consist of chipsets, embedded processors, networking products and personal connectivity solutions products. The Foundry Services segment included fees for products sold to Legerity and Vantis. We terminated our foundry services arrangement with Legerity in the third quarter of 2002 and will terminate the foundry service arrangement with Vantis in the third quarter of 2003. For a comparison of segment net sales, refer to the previous discussions on net sales by product group.

Dresden Term Loans and Dresden Intercompany Guarantee

AMD Saxony, Limited Liability Company & Co. KG (formerly known as AMD Saxony Manufacturing GmbH) (AMD Saxony), an indirect wholly-ownedwholly owned German subsidiary of AMD, continues to facilitize Dresden Fab 30, which began production in the third quarter of 2000. AMD, the Federal Republic of Germany, the State of Saxony, and a consortium of banks are providing financing for the project.We currently estimate that the construction and facilitization costs of Dresden Fab 30 will be $2.6$2.7 billion when it is fully equipped by the end of 2005. As of SeptemberJune 29, 2002,2003, we had invested $2.1$2.2 billion in AMD Saxony.

In March 1997, AMD Saxony entered into a loan agreement and other related agreements (the Dresden Loan Agreements) with a consortium of banks led by Dresdner Bank AG a German financial institution, in order to finance the project. The Dresden Loan Agreements were amended in February 1998, June 1999, February 2001 and June 2002.

Because most of the amounts under the Dresden Loan Agreements are denominated in deutsche marks (converted to euros), the dollar amounts set forth below are subject to change based on applicable conversion rates. We used the exchange rate that was permanently fixed on January 1, 1999, of 1.95583 deutsche marks to 1.00one euro for the conversion of deutsche marks to euros, and then used exchange rate of 1.020.875 euro to 1.00one U.S. dollar as of SeptemberJune 29, 2002,2003, to valuetranslate the amounts denominated in deutsche marks.

marks into U.S. dollars.


The Dresden Loan Agreements, as amended, provide for the funding of the construction and facilitization of Dresden Fab 30. The funding consists of:

equity contributions, subordinated and revolving loans and loan guarantees from, and full cost reimbursement through, AMD;

loans from a consortium of banks; and
equity contribution, subordinated and revolving loans and loan guarantees from and full cost reimbursement through AMD;

grants, subsidies and loan guarantees from the Federal Republic of Germany and the State of Saxony.
loans from a consortium of banks; and
grants, subsidies and loan guarantees from the Federal Republic of Germany and the State of Saxony.

The Dresden Loan Agreements require that we partially fund Dresden Fab 30 project costs in the form of subordinated and revolving loans to, or equity investments in, AMD Saxony. In accordance with the terms of the Dresden Loan Agreements, as of SeptemberJune 29, 2002, we had invested $1482003, the balances were $168 million in the form of subordinated loans, $257$197 million in the form of revolving loans and $286 million in the form of equity investments in AMD Saxony.Saxony, net of repayments. These amounts have been eliminated in our consolidated financial statements.

In addition to support from AMD, the consortium of banks referred to above had made available up to $751$877 million in loans to AMD Saxony to help fund Dresden Fab 30 project costs. The loans have been fully drawn and a portion has been repaid. AMD Saxony had $552$627 million of such loans outstanding as of SeptemberJune 29, 2002,2003, which are included in our consolidated balance sheets. Please refer to the Contractual Cash Obligation table, above, for repayment schedule.

Finally, pursuant to a Subsidy Agreement, as amended in August 2002, the Federal Republic of Germany and the State of Saxony are supporting the Dresden Fab 30 project, in accordance with the Dresden Loan Agreements, in the form of:

guarantees equal to 65 percent of AMD Saxony’s outstanding bank debt, or $408 million;

capital investment grants and allowances totaling $476 million; and
guarantees equal to the lesser of 65 percent of AMD Saxony bank debt or $751 million;

interest subsidies totaling $175 million.
capital investment grants and allowances totaling $407 million; and
interest subsidies totaling $146 million.

Of these amounts, AMD Saxony had received approximately $284$364 million in capital investment grants and allowances and $146allowance, $114 million in interest subsidies. Of theIn addition, AMD Saxony received advanced payments for interest subsidies received,amounting to $37 million, of which approximately $25$4 million is restricted from our access for more than one year, and areis therefore included in Other Assets. In addition to the above-mentionedabove mentioned subsidies, AMD Saxony had also received $25$44 million in research and development subsidies through SeptemberJune 29, 2002. These amounts2003. Amounts received under the Subsidy Agreement are included inrecorded as a long-term liability on our consolidated financial statements.statements and are being amortized to operations ratably over the contractual life of the Subsidy Agreement as a reduction to operating expenses through December of 2008. The historical rates were used to translate the amounts denominated in deutsche marks (converted to euros) into U.S. dollars.

The Subsidy Agreement, as amended, imposes conditions on AMD Saxony, including the requirement to attain a certain employment levelsemployee headcount by December 2003 and to maintain those levelssuch headcount until December 2008. Noncompliance with the conditions of the grants, allowances and subsidies could result in the forfeiture of all or a portion of the future amounts to be received, as well as the repayment of all or a portion of amounts received to date. In December 2002, AMD Saxony reduced its anticipated December 2003 employment levels as a result of the 2002 Restructuring Plan (see Note 9 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). Consequently, the anticipated headcount is below the level required to be maintained by the Subsidy Agreement. Based on these revised headcount estimates, the maximum amount of capital investment grants and allowances available under the Subsidy Agreement would be reduced from $476 million to $416 million. We adjusted the quarterly amortization of these amounts accordingly. There have been no conditions of noncompliance through SeptemberJune 29, 20022003 that would result in forfeiture of any of the grants and allowances.

-29-


The Dresden Loan Agreements, as amended, also require that we:

provide interim funding to AMD Saxony if either the remaining capital investment grants and allowances or the remaining interest subsidies are delayed, such funding to be repaid to AMD as AMD Saxony receives the investment grants and allowances or subsidies from the State of Saxony;

fund shortfalls in government subsidies resulting from any default under the subsidy agreements caused by AMD Saxony or its affiliates; and
provide interim funding to AMD Saxony if either the remaining capital investment subsidies or the remaining interest subsidies are delayed, such funding to be repaid to AMD as AMD Saxony receives the grants or subsidies from the State of Saxony;

fund shortfalls in government subsidies resulting from any default under the Subsidy Agreement caused by AMD Saxony or its affiliates; and
guarantee up to 35guarantee up to 50 percent of AMD Saxony’s obligations under the Dresden Loan Agreements, which guarantee must not be less than $109 million or more than $300 million, until the bank loans are repaid in full.
The Dresden Loan Agreements, also require AMD Saxony to maintainwhich guarantee must not be less than $127 million or more than $343 million, until the bank balancesloans are repaid in an amount equal tofull. As of June 29, 2003, the maximum exposure and the amount ofoutstanding under the installment of principal next due for repayment. guarantee was $314 million.

As AMD Saxony’s obligations under the Dresden Loan Agreements are included in our consolidated financial statements, no incremental liability is recorded under the Dresden guarantee.

AMD Saxony would be in default under the Dresden Loan Agreementsagreement if we, AMD Saxony, or AMD Saxony Holding GmbH (AMD Holding) fail, AMD Saxony Admin GmbH or AMD Saxony LLC failed to comply with certain obligations thereunder or upon the occurrence of certain events, including:

our failure to fund equity contributions or loans or otherwise comply with our obligations relating to the Dresden Loan Agreements;

the sale of shares in AMD Saxony, AMD Holding, AMD Saxony Admin GmbH or AMD Saxony LLC;
material variances from the approved plan and specifications;

the failure to pay material obligations;
our failure to fund equity contributions or loans or otherwise comply with our obligations relating to the Dresden Loan Agreements;

the occurrence of a material adverse change or filings or proceedings in bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to us, AMD Saxony, AMD Holding, AMD Saxony Admin GmbH or AMD Saxony LLC; and
the sale of shares in AMD Saxony or AMD Holding;

the occurrence of a default under the July 2003 Loan Agreement; and
the failure to pay material obligations;

noncompliance with specified financial covenants.
the occurrence of a material adverse change or filings or proceedings in bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to us, AMD Saxony or AMD Holding; and
the occurrence of a default under the July 1999 Loan Agreement or the September 2002 Loan Agreement.

Generally, any default with respect to borrowings made or guaranteed by AMD that results in recourse to us of more than $2.5 million, and that is not cured by us, would result in a cross-default under the Dresden Loan Agreements, the July 1999 Loan Agreement and the September 2002 Loan Agreement.Agreements. As of SeptemberJune 29, 2002,2003, we were in compliance with all conditions of the Dresden Loan Agreements.

In the event we are unable to meet our obligations to AMD Saxony as required under the Dresden Loan Agreements, we will be in default under the Dresden Loan Agreements, the July 1999 Loan Agreement and the September 2002 Loan Agreement, which would permit acceleration of certain indebtedness, which could have a material adverse effect on us. The occurrence of a default under the Dresden Loan Agreements would likely result in a cross-default under the Indentures governing our 4.75% Debentures and 4.50% Notes. We cannot assure that we will be able to obtain the funds necessary to fulfill these obligations. Any such failure would have a material adverse effect on us.

FASL Facilities and Guarantees Related to the Manufacturing Joint Venture

FASL, a joint venture formed by

AMD and Fujitsu Limited formed a joint venture in 1993, formerly referred to as FASL and currently referred to as the Manufacturing Joint Venture, that operates advanced wafer fabricationintegrated circuit manufacturing facilities in Aizu-Wakamatsu, Japan, (FASL JV1, FASL JV2 and FASL JV3), for the production ofto produce Flash memory devices, which are sold to us and Fujitsu. FASL is continuing the facilitization of FASL JV2 and FASL JV3. We expect FASL JV2 and JV3, including equipment, to cost approximately $2.1 billion when fully equipped. As of September 29, 2002, approximately $1.6 billion of these costs had been funded by cash generated from FASL operations. These costs are incurred in Japanese yen and are, therefore, subject to change due to foreign exchange rate fluctuations. We used the exchange rate on September 29, 2002 of 122.83 yen to 1.00 U.S. dollar to translate the amounts denominated in yen into U.S. dollars.

devices.

In 2000, FASLthe Manufacturing Joint Venture further expanded its production capacity through a foundry arrangement with Fujitsu Microelectronics, Inc. (FMI), a wholly owned subsidiary of Fujitsu Limited. In connection with FMI equipping its wafer fabrication facility in Gresham, Oregon, (the Gresham Facility) to produce Flash memory devices for sale to FASL,the Manufacturing Joint Venture, we agreed to guarantee (the Guarantee) the repayment of up to $125 million to Fujitsu in connection withof Fujitsu’s obligationobligations as a co-signer with FMI under its global multicurrency revolving credit facility (the Credit Facility) with a third-party bank. On November 30,bank (the Fujitsu Guarantee). In 2001, Fujitsu announced that it was closingclosed the Gresham Facility due to athe downturn of the Flash memory market. On March 26, 2002, we received notice from Fujitsu that FMI requested an advance of funds from Fujitsu to avoid default under the Credit Facility, which notice is required as a condition to our obligations under the Guarantee. However, to date we have not received a demand for payment under the terms of the Guarantee from Fujitsu. Furthermore, we continue to disagreeWe disagreed with Fujitsu as to the amount, if any, owed under this Guarantee and have reached a settlement, subject to final internal approval by Fujitsu, which would result in a cash payment by us to Fujitsu. This settlement amount is immaterial to our financial statements, and was recorded in our second quarter statement of operations ended June 29, 2003.

Effective June 30, 2003, we and Fujitsu Limited executed several agreements which resulted in the integration of our and Fujitsu’s Flash memory operations in the third quarter. The new company, FASL LLC, is 60 percent owned by us and 40 percent owned by Fujitsu Limited. We contributed or sold our Flash memory operations, including related inventory, our manufacturing facility located in Austin, Texas (Fab 25), our Submicron Development Center in Sunnyvale, California, and our Flash memory assembly and test operations in Thailand, Malaysia and China, in exchange for membership interests in FASL LLC and a $261 million promissory note. We also loaned to FASL LLC $120 million pursuant to a promissory note. The note has a term of three years and bears interest at LIBOR plus 4%. Interest payments only are due in quarterly installments for the first two years. Payments of principal (along with interest) are due in equal installments over the last four quarters of the note. Fujitsu contributed its Flash memory division, including related inventory, $140 million in cash and its Fujitsu Microelectronics (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. final assembly and test operations. We and Fujitsu also contributed our existing Manufacturing Joint Venture located in Aizu-Wakamatsu, which became a wholly owned subsidiary of FASL LLC. Fujitsu also loaned to FASL LLC $40 million pursuant to a promissory note. The terms of Fujitsu’s note are substantially similar to the terms of our note. FASL LLC products will be sold by AMD and Fujitsu, as FASL LLC’s distributors, under the Spansion brand.

We hold a majority voting and economic interest in FASL LLC and control its operations. Accordingly, we will consolidate the operations and financial position of FASL LLC in our consolidated third quarter 2003 financial statements as of commencement of FASL LLC operations. For accounting purposes, we are deemed to have acquired an incremental 10 percent interest in the existing Manufacturing Joint Venture and 60 percent interest in the assets contributed by Fujitsu. In addition, we are deemed to have sold 40 percent of our interest in our contributed assets, excluding our interest in the existing manufacturing joint venture. An independent fair market value appraisal for this transaction is currently in process and is expected to be completed by the end of the third quarter. Based on the results of the appraisal, during the third quarter of 2003, we may be required to recognize a gain or loss on the sale of our interest in the assets contributed to FASL LLC. At this time we cannot estimate the results of the appraisal or the gain or loss, if any, that would be recognized as a result of this transaction.

As of June 29, 2003, we had $74 million in loan guarantees outstanding with respect to third-party loans incurred by the Manufacturing Joint Venture. As a result of the execution of the FASL LLC agreements with Fujitsu, the existing Manufacturing Joint Venture’s third party loans were refinanced from the proceeds of a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $150 million entered into between a wholly owned subsidiary of FASL LLC and a Japanese financial institution. Fujitsu guaranteed 100 percent of the amounts outstanding under this facility. In turn, we agreed to pay Fujitsu 60 percent of any amount paid by Fujitsu under its guarantee of this facility. Because we will consolidate FASL LLC, the full amount of the third party loan will be reflected in our consolidated financial statements.

On July 18, 2003, a wholly owned subsidiary of FASL LLC entered into a sale and leaseback transaction for certain equipment with a third party financial institution in the amount of $100 million. We guaranteed up to approximately $50 million, or 50 percent of the outstanding obligations, under the lease arrangement.

In addition, during the four-year period commencing on June 30, 2003, we are obligated to provide FASL LLC with additional funding to finance operational cash flow needs. Generally, FASL LLC is first required to seek any required financing from external sources. However, if such third party financing is not available, we must provide funding to FASL LLC equal to our pro rata ownership interest in FASL LLC, which is currently 60 percent.

Advanced Mask Technology Center Guarantee and BAC Guarantee

The Advanced Mask Technology Center GmbH & Co. KG (AMTC) and Maskhouse Building Administration GmbH &Co., KG (BAC) are joint ventures formed by us, Infineon Technologies AG and DuPont Photomasks, Inc. for the purpose of constructing and operating a new advanced photomask facility in Dresden, Germany. To finance the project, BAC entered into an $86 million bridge loan in June 2002 and BAC and AMTC entered into a $137 million revolving credit facility and an $86 million term loan in December 2002. When drawn, the term loan will replace the bridge loan. Also in December 2002, in order to occupy the photomask facility, BAC and AMTC entered into a rental agreement. With regard to these commitments by BAC and AMTC, we guaranteed up to approximately $29 million plus interest and expenses under the bridge loan, up to approximately $37 million plus interest and expenses under the revolving loan, up to approximately $29 million plus interest and expenses under the term loan (which will replace the bridge loan guarantee when the term loan is drawn), and up to approximately $18 million, initially, under the rental agreement. The obligations under the rental agreement guarantee diminish over time through 2011 as the term loan is repaid. However, under certain circumstances of default by the other tenant of the photomask facility under the rental agreement and more than one joint venture partner under its guarantee obligations, the maximum potential amount of our obligations under the Guarantee. While we continue to discuss this matter with Fujitsu, we cannot at this time reasonably predict its outcome including anyrental agreement guarantee is approximately $134 million. As of June 29, 2003, $74 million was outstanding under the bridge loan and no amounts we might be required to pay Fujitsu, and, therefore,were drawn under the revolving credit facility or the term loan.

We have not recorded any liability in our consolidated financial statements associated with the Guarantee.

A significant portionguarantees.

Other Financing Activities

Our capital expenditure plan for the second half of FASL’s2003 will now include capital expenditures in 2002 will continueby FASL LLC, and we expect capital expenditures for 2003 to be funded by cash generated from FASL’s operations. However, to the extent that additional funds are required for the full facilitization of FASL JV2 and FASL JV3, we will be required to contribute cash or guarantee third-party loans in proportion to our 49.992 percent interest in FASL, up to 25 billion yen ($204 million). As of September 29, 2002, we had $127 million in loan guarantees outstanding with respect to FASL’s outstanding third-party loans.

UMC
On January 31, 2002, we entered into a memorandum of understanding with United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC) to establish a joint venture to operate a state-of-the-art, 300-mm wafer fabrication facility in Singapore for high-volume production of PC processors and

other logic products. We remain in discussions with UMC as to the structure and timing of this proposed alliance. We have not to date executed any binding definitive joint venture agreement, and we cannot be sure that an agreement will be reached. To date no investments have been made in the proposed alliance.
Other
We plan to make capital investments of approximately $200 million during the remainder of 2002, including amounts related to the continued facilitization of Dresden Fab 30. We regularly assess markets for external financing opportunities including capital leases, equity and debt.$725 million. We believe that cash flows from our operations and current cash balances,together with available external financing activities,and the extension of existing facilities, will be sufficient to fund our operations and capital investments currently plannedin the short and long term.

Supplementary Stock-Based Incentive Compensation Disclosures

Section I. Option Program Description

Our stock option programs are intended to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified employees. We have several stock option plans under which key employees have been granted incentive (ISOs) and nonqualified (NSOs) stock options to purchase our common stock. Generally, options vest and become exercisable over four years from the date of grant and expire five to ten years after the date of grant. ISOs granted under the plans have exercise prices of not less than 100 percent of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Exercise prices of NSOs range from $0.01 to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant.

On June 27, 2003, with the approval of our shareholders, we filed a Tender Offer Statement with the SEC, and made an offer to exchange certain stock options to purchase shares of our common stock, outstanding under eligible option plans and held by eligible employees, for replacement options to be granted no sooner than six months and one day from the cancellation of the surrendered options. The offer to exchange expired on July 25, 2003. Options to purchase approximately 19.0 million shares of our common stock were tendered for exchange and cancelled on July 28, 2003. Subject to the terms of the offer to exchange, we will grant replacement options to purchase approximately 13.4 million shares of its common stock on or after January 29, 2004, in exchange for the options cancelled in the offer to exchange. We do not expect to record any compensation expense as the result of the transactions contemplated by this offer to exchange.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

We adopted Statement of

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 141, “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141), Statement46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (FIN 46). Variable interest entities often are created for a single specified purpose, for example, to facilitate securitization, leasing, hedging, research and development, or other transactions or arrangements. This interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “GoodwillStatements,” defines what these variable interest entities are and Other Intangible Asset” (SFAS 142)provides guidelines on identifying them and Statementassessing an enterprise’s interests in a variable interest entity to decide whether to consolidate that entity. Generally, FIN 46 applies to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. For existing variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003, the provision of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (SFAS 144) atthis interpretation will apply no later than the beginning of the 2002 fiscal year. Thefirst interim or annual reporting period beginning after June 15, 2003. We do not expect the adoption of these standards did notFIN 46 to have a material impact on our results of operations or financial statements.

In July 2002,May 2003, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146150, “Accounting for Costs AssociatedCertain Financial Instruments with ExitCharacteristics of both Liabilities and Equity,” (SFAS 150) which addresses how to classify and measure certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities (or an asset in some circumstances) and equity – as either debt or Disposal Activities” (SFAS 146).equity in the balance sheet. SFAS 146 addresses150 requirements apply to issuers’ classification and measurement of freestanding financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exitinstruments, including those that comprise more than one option or disposal activities and nullifies EITF Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).” (EITF 94-3). The principal difference betweenforward contract. SFAS 146 and EITF 94-3 relates to SFAS 146’s timing for recognition of a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity. SFAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under EITF 94-3 a liability for an exit cost as generally defined in EITF 94-3 was recognized at the date of an entity’s commitment to an exit plan. SFAS 146150 is effective for exitfinancial instruments entered into or disposal activities that are initiatedmodified after DecemberMay 31, 2002, with early adoption encouraged. The Company will adopt SFAS 146 prospectively as of December 30, 2002,2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of fiscal year 2003, and, therefore, itsthe first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. We do not expect the adoption is not expectedof SFAS 150 to have anya material impact on the Company’s current financial position orour results of operations.

RISK FACTORSRisk Factors

We have recently experienced substantial declines in revenues and operating losses,since 2001, and we may experience additional declines in revenues and increases in operating losses.losses in the future

. Our historical financial results have been, and our future financial results are anticipated to be, subject to substantial fluctuations. Our total revenuesnet sales for the first nine monthssecond quarter of 20022003 were $2,011$645 million compared to $2,940$715 million for the first nine monthsquarter of 2003. The decline was due in part to weaker than anticipated sales of our products in Asia and Europe. Our total revenues for 2002 were $2,697 million compared to $3,892 million for 2001. This decline was due primarily to reduced demand for our products resulting from the current economic slowdown and our decision primarily in the third quarterand fourth quarters of 2002 notto limit shipments and to accept orders from certain customers, not to ship to certain customers and our receipt of product returns from certain customers, each as part of our efforts to reduce excess PC processor inventory in the overall supply chain. We incurred a net loss of $448 million$1.3 billion for the first nine months of 2002 compared to a net loss of $45$61 million for the first nine months of 2001. Reduced end-userend user demand, underutilization of our manufacturing capacity and other factors could adversely affect our business in the near term and we may experience additional declines in revenue and operating losses. We cannot assure you that we will be able to return to profitability or that, if we do, we will be able to sustain it.

The semiconductor industry is highly cyclical and is currently experiencing a severe downturn whichthat is adversely affecting, and may continue to adversely affect, our business.business

. The highly cyclical semiconductor industry has experienced significant downturns, often in connection with maturing product cycles, manufacturing overcapacity and declines in general economic conditions. The most recent downturn, which began in the fourth quarter of 2000 and continues today, has been severe and prolonged, and future downturns may also be severe and prolonged. Our financial performance has been negatively affected by these downturns, including the incurrence of substantial losses during the current downturn, as a result of:

the cyclical nature of the supply/demand imbalances in the semiconductor industry;

a decline in demand for end user products that incorporate our semiconductors;
the cyclical nature of the supply/demand imbalances in the semiconductor industry;

excess inventory levels in the channels of distribution, including our customers;
a decline in demand for end-user products that incorporate our semiconductors;

excess production capacity; and
excess inventory levels in the channels of distribution, including our customers;

accelerated declines in average selling prices.
excess production capacity; and
accelerated declines in average selling prices.

If current conditions do not improve in the near term or if these conditions in the semiconductor industry occur in the future, as they likely will to a lesser or greater degree, our business will continue to be adversely affected.

Fluctuations in the personal computer market may continue to materially adversely affect us.

Our business is, and particularly our PC processor product lines are, closely tied to the personal computer industry. Industry-wide fluctuations in the PC marketplace, including the current industry downturn whichthat commenced in 2001 and has continued throughout 2002,continues, have materially adversely affected us and may materially adversely affect us in the future. If we continue to experience a sustained reduction in the growth rate of PCs sold,

sales of our microprocessors may decrease. If market conditions do not improve, shipments to our customers could be limited until customer demand increasesgrow and supply chain inventories are fully balanced with end user demand.
may even decrease.

In addition, current trends of consolidation within the personal computer industry, as recently evidenced by the Hewlett-Packard/Compaq merger, as well as potential market share increases by customers who exclusively purchase microprocessors from Intel corporation,Corporation, such as Dell, Corporation,Inc., could further materially adversely affect us.

We plan for significant capital expenditures in 2003 and beyond and if we cannot generate the capital required for these capital expenditures and other ongoing operating expenses through operating cash flow and external financing activities, we may be materially adversely affected.affected

. We plan to continue to make significant capital expenditures to support our microprocessor and Flash memory products both in the near and long term, including approximately $200$725 million during the remainder of 2002. Our2003. The capital expenditure planexpenditures projected for 2003 is approximately $650 million. These capital expenditures include those relating to the continued facilitization of our manufacturing facilities known as Dresden Fab 30 in Dresden, Germany, and Fab 25, in Austin, Texas.those relating to FASL LLC. These capital expenditures, together with ongoing operating expenses, will be a substantial drain on our cash flow and may also decrease our cash balances. In addition, our July 1999 Loan Agreement is scheduled to expire in July 2003. The timing and amount of our capital requirements cannot be precisely determined at this time and will depend on a number of factors, including demand for products, product mix, changes in semiconductor industry conditions and competitive factors. We regularly assess markets for external financing opportunities including debt and equity. Additional debt or equity financing may not be available when needed or, if available, may not be available on satisfactory terms. Our inability to obtain needed debt and/or equity financing would have a material adverse effect on us.

In March 1997, AMD Saxony entered into the Dresden Loan AgreementAgreements and other related agreements. These agreements require that we partially fund Dresden Fab 30 project costs in the form of subordinated and revolving loans to, or equity investments in, AMD Saxony. We currently estimate that the maximum construction and facilitization costs to us of Dresden Fab 30 will be $2.6$2.7 billion when fully equipped.equipped by the end of 2005. We had invested $2.1$2.2 billion as of SeptemberJune 29, 2002.2003. If we are unable to meet our obligations to AMD Saxony as required under these agreements, we will be in default under the Dresden Loan Agreement,Agreements, which would permit acceleration of $552$627 million of indebtedness, as well as acceleration by cross-default of our obligations under our other borrowing arrangements.

Our joint venture with Fujitsu Limited,

FASL LLC, our majority owned subsidiary, continues to facilitize its manufacturing facilities in Aizu-Wakamatsu, Japan, known as FASL JV2 and FASL JV3.JV3 and in Austin, Texas, known as Fab 25. We expect FASL JV2 and FASL JV3, including equipment, to cost approximately $2.1 billion when fully equipped. As of September 29, 2002, approximately $1.6 billion of this cost had been funded. Tothat the extent that additional funds are required for the fullmaximum facilitization costs of FASL JV2 and FASL JV3 weto FASL LLC, will be $1.8 billion when fully equipped.

In addition, during the four-year period commencing on June 30, 2003, we are obligated to provide FASL LLC with additional funding to finance operational cash flow needs. Generally, FASL LLC is first required to contribute cash or guarantee third-party loans in proportionseek any required financing from external sources. However, if such third party financing is not available, we must provide funding to FASL LLC equal to our 49.992 percentpro-rata ownership interest in FASL.

FASL LLC, which is currently 60 percent.


We have a substantial amount of debt and debt service obligations, and may incur additional debt, that could adversely affect our financial position.position

. We have a substantial amount of debt and we may incur additional debt in the future. At SeptemberJune 29, 2002,2003, our total debt was $1.3$1.7 billion and stockholders’ equity was $3.2$2.3 billion. In addition, we had $95up to $200 million of availability under our July 19992003 Loan Agreement (subject to our borrowing base). We had also guaranteed approximately $455$273 million of debt, and we are currently in disagreement as to the amount we owe, if any, under our additional guarantee to repay up to $125 million to Fujitsu in connection with a closed wafer fabrication facility in Gresham, Oregon. None of these amounts arewhich is not reflected as debt on our balance sheet.

Our high degree of leverage may:

limit our ability to use our cash flow or obtain additional financing for future working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other general corporate purposes;

require a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to make debt service payments;
limit our ability to use our cash flow or obtain additional financing for future working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other general corporate purposes;

limit our flexibility to plan for, or react to, changes in our business and industry;
require a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to make debt service payments;

place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our less leveraged competitors; and
limit our flexibility to plan for, or react to, changes in our business and industry;

increase our vulnerability to the impact of adverse economic and industry conditions.
place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our less leveraged competitors; and
increase our vulnerability to the impact of adverse economic and industry conditions and, to the extent of our outstanding debt under our July 1999 Loan Agreement, the impact of increases in interest rates.

Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our debt or our guarantees of other parties’ debts will depend on our financial and operating performance, which may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and is subject to prevailing economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors beyond our control.

We cannot assure you that we will continue to generate sufficient cash flow or that we will be able to borrow funds under our credit facilities in amounts sufficient to enable us to service our debt, or meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements. If we are not able to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or to borrow sufficient funds to service our debt, due to borrowing base restrictions or otherwise, we may be required to sell assets or equity, reduce capital expenditures, refinance all or a portion of our existing debt or obtain additional financing. We cannot assure you that we will be able to refinance our debt, sell assets or equity, or borrow more funds on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

If we are not successful in integrating the operations of our new majority owned subsidiary, FASL LLC, we could be materially adversely affected. Effective June 30, 2003, we and Fujitsu Limited executed several agreements which resulted in the integration of our and Fujitsu’s flash memory operations in the third quarter. We contributed our Flash memory group, our Fab 25 in Austin, Texas, our Submicron Development Center in Sunnyvale, California, and our assembly and test operations in Thailand, Malaysia and China. Fujitsu contributed its Flash memory business division and its Fujitsu Microelectronics (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. final assembly and test operations. We, together with Fujitsu, contributed our existing Manufacturing Joint Venture, which became a wholly owned subsidiary of FASL LLC.

Any benefits of this proposed transaction are subject to, among other things, the following risks:

the possibility that FASL LLC will not be successful because of problems integrating the operations and employees of the two companies or achieving the efficiencies and other advantages intended by the transaction;

the possibility of gains or losses due to the appraisal process in the third quarter; and

the possibility that global business and economic conditions will worsen, resulting in lower than currently expected demand for Flash memory products.

We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully integrate these operations or that we will be able to achieve and sustain any benefit from FASL LLC’s creation.

External factors, such as the SARS virus and potential terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war, may materially adversely affect us. Concerns about the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) virus are having an adverse effect upon the Asian economies and have affected and may continue to affect demand for our products in Asia. In addition, if there were to be a case of SARS discovered in any of our operations in Asia, the measures to prevent the spread of the virus could disrupt our operations at that location. There have been no cases of SARS affecting our operations to date. Finally, the spread of SARS and the extent of local preventive measures could affect the production capabilities of manufacturers of our PCS products, which are located in Taiwan, or their ability to ship products to us on a timely basis.

Terrorist attacks may negatively affect our operations. These attacks or armed conflicts may directly impact our physical facilities or those of our suppliers or customers. Furthermore, these attacks may make travel and the transportation of our products more difficult and more expensive and ultimately affect our sales.

Also as a result of terrorism, the United States may be included in armed conflicts that could have a further impact on our sales, our supply chain, and our ability to deliver products to our customers. Political and economic instability in some regions of the world may also result and could negatively impact our business. The consequences of armed conflicts are unpredictable, and we may not be able to foresee events that could have an adverse effect on our business or your investment.

More generally, any of these events could cause consumer confidence and spending to decrease or result in increased volatility in the United States and worldwide financial markets and economy. They also could result in or exacerbate economic recession in the United States or abroad. Any of these occurrences could have a significant impact on our operating results, revenues and costs and may result in the volatility of the market price for our securities and on the future prices of our securities.

Intense competition in the integrated circuit industry may materially adversely affect us.us

In general, the. The integrated circuit industry is intensely competitive. Products compete on performance, quality, reliability, price, adherence to industry standards, software and hardware compatibility, marketing and distribution capability, brand recognition and availability. After a product is introduced, costs and average selling prices normally decrease over time as production efficiency improves, competitors enter the market and successive generations of products are developed and introduced for sale. Failure to reduce our costs on existing products or to develop and introduce, on a cost-effective and timely basis, new products or enhanced versions of existing products with higher margins, would have a material adverse effect on us.

Intel Corporation’s dominance of the PC processor market may limit our ability to compete effectively in that market.

Intel has dominated the market for microprocessors used in PCs for many years. As a result, Intel has been able to control x86 microprocessor and PC system standards and dictate the type of products the market requires of Intel’s competitors. In addition, the financial strength of Intel allows it to market its product aggressively, to target our customers and our channel partners with special incentives and to provide disincentives todiscipline customers who do business with us. These aggressive activities can result in lower unit sales and average selling prices for us and adversely affect our margins and profitability. Intel also exerts substantial influence over PC manufacturers and their channels of distribution through the “Intel Inside” brand program and other marketing programs. As long as Intel remains in this dominant position, we may be materially adversely affected by its:

pricing and allocation strategies and actions;

product mix and introduction schedules;
pricing and allocation strategies and actions;

product bundling, marketing and merchandising strategies;

product bundling, marketing and merchandising strategies;

user brand loyalty.
control over industry standards, PC manufacturers and other PC industry participants, including motherboard, chipset and basic input/output system (BIOS) suppliers; and
user brand loyalty.

We expect Intel to maintain its dominant position in the marketplace as well as to continue to invest heavily in research and development, new manufacturing facilities and other technology companies. Intel has substantially greater financial resources than we do and accordingly expends substantially greater amounts on research and development than we do.

In marketing our microprocessors to OEMs and dealers, we depend on third-party companies other than Intel for the design and manufacture of core-logic chipsets, graphics chips, motherboards, BIOS software and other components. Over theIn recent years, many of these third-party designers and manufacturers have lost significant market share to Intel or exited the business. In addition, these companies produce chipsets, motherboards, BIOS software and other components to support each new generation of Intel’s microprocessors, and Intel has significant leverage over their business opportunities.

Our microprocessors are not designed to function with motherboards and chipsets designed to work with Intel microprocessors. Our ability to compete with Intel in the market for seventh-generationAMD OpteronTM and eighth-generationupcoming AMD Athlon 64 microprocessors will depend on our ability to ensure that PC platforms are designed to support our microprocessors. A failure of the designers and producers of motherboards, chipsets and other system components to support our microprocessor offerings would have a material adverse effect on us.

If we are unable to develop, produce and successfully market higher-performing microprocessor products, we may be materially adversely affected.affected

. The microprocessor market is characterized by short product life cycles and migration to ever-higher performance microprocessors. To compete successfully, we must transition to new process technologies at a fast pace and offer higher-performance microprocessors in significantly greater volumes. If we fail to achieve yield and volume goals or to offer higher-performance microprocessors in significant volume on a timely basis and at competitive prices, we could be materially adversely affected.

To be successful, we must increase sales of our microprocessor products to existing customers and develop new customers in both consumer and commercial markets, particularly the latter. Our production and sales plans for microprocessors are subject to other risks and uncertainties, including:

our ability to continue offering new higher performance microprocessors competitive with Intel’s product offerings;

our ability to introduce and create successful marketing positions for the AMD Opteron and the upcoming AMD Athlon 64 microprocessors, which rely in part on market acceptance and demand for 64-bit microprocessors based on AMD 64 technology.
our ability to continue offering new higher performance microprocessors competitive with Intel’s product offerings;

our ability to maintain and improve the successful marketing position of the AMD Athlon XP microprocessor, which relies in part on market acceptance of a metric based on overall processor performance versus processor clock speed (measured in megahertz frequency);

We must introduce in a timely manner, and achieve market acceptance for, our eighth-generationAMD Opteron and upcoming AMD Athlon 64 microprocessors, or we will be materially adversely affected.affected

. We introduced our AMD Opteron processors in April 2003 and we plan to shipintroduce our eighth-generation 64-bitAMD Athlon 64 processors formerly code-named “Hammer” in the first half ofSeptember 2003. These processors are designed to provide high performance for both 32-bit and 64-bit applications in servers and workstations and in desktop and mobile PCs. The success of our eighth-generationthese processors areis subject to risks and uncertainties including our ability to produce them in a timely manner on new process technologies, including silicon on insulatorsilicon-on-insulator technology, in the volume and with the performance and feature set required by customers; their market acceptance; the availability, performance and feature set of motherboards and chipsets designed for our eighth-generation processors; and the support of the operating system and application program providers for our 64-bit instruction set.

If we were to lose Microsoft Corporation’s support for our products, our ability to market our processors would be materially adversely affected.affected

. Our ability to innovate beyond the x86 instruction set controlled by Intel depends on support from Microsoft in its operating systems. If Microsoft does not continue to provide support in its operating systems for our x86 instruction sets, including our x86-6464-bit technology that will be introduced with our eighth-generationAMD Opteron and upcoming AMD Athlon and AMD Opteron64 processors, independent software providers may forego designing their software applications to take advantage of our innovations. If we fail to retain the support and certification of Microsoft, our ability to market our processors could be materially adversely affected.

The completion and impact of our restructuring program and cost reductions could adversely affect us.

On November 7, 2002, we announced that we were formulating We formulated the 2002 Restructuring Plan to address the continuing industry-wide weakness in the semiconductor industry and to adjustby adjusting our cost structure.structure to industry conditions. Pursuant to the 2002 Restructuring Plan, we intendplan to reduce our fixed costs as a percentage of total costs over time from approximately 80 percent to approximately 70 percent. We have also expect to reducereduced our expenses by approximately $100 million per quarter byin the second quarter of 2003.2003 by approximately $37 million, compared to the fourth quarter of 2002. As a result, we expect total expenses in 2003 to be reduced by $350approximately $150 million, compared to 2002, based on current product demand forecasts. We cannot, however, be sure that the goals of the 2002 Restructuring Plan will be realized.

Weak market demand for our Spansion Flash memory products, the loss of a significant customer in the high-end mobile telephone market, or any difficulty in our transition toa lack of market acceptance of MirrorBitTM technology may have a material adverse effect on us.us

The. Overall demand for Flashflash memory devices has been weak due to the sustained downturn in the communications and networking equipment industries and excess inventories held by our customers. InSince the third quarter of this year,2002, our Flash memory product sales grewgrowth came almost entirely based on strength in the high-end mobile phone market. OurTo date, our sales in that market arehave been concentrated in a few customers. In addition, we expect competition in the market for Flashflash memory devices to continue to increase as competing manufacturers introduce new products and industry-wide production capacity increases. We may be unable to maintain or increase our market share in Flash memory devices as the market develops and Intel and other competitors introduce new competing products. A decline in unit sales of our Flash memory devices, lower average selling prices, or a loss of a significant customer in the high-end mobile phone market, would have a material adverse effect on us.

In July 2002, we commenced production shipments of ourthe first product with MirrorBit technology. Our MirrorBit technology is a new memory cell architecture that enables Flash memory products to hold twice as much data as standard Flashflash memory devices. A lack of customer or market acceptance or any substantial difficulty in transitioning our Flash memory products to MirrorBit technology or any future process technology could reduce ourFASL LLC’s ability to be competitive in the market and could have a material adverse effect on us.

Spansion memory products are based on the NOR architecture and a significant market shift to the NAND architecture could materially adversely affect us. Spansion memory products are based on the NOR architecture, and any significant shift in the marketplace to products based on NAND or other architectures will reduce the total market available to us and therefore reduce our market share, which could have a materially adverse affect on us.

Worldwide economic and political conditions may affect demand for our products and slow payment by our customers.

The economic slowdown in the United States and worldwide, exacerbated by the occurrence and threat of terrorist attacks and consequences of sustained military action in the Middle East, has adversely affected demand for our microprocessors, Flash memory devices and other integrated circuits. A continued decline of the worldwide semiconductor market or a significant decline in economic conditions in any significant geographic area would likely decrease the overall demand for our products, which could have a material adverse effect on us. If the economic slowdown continues or worsens as a result of terrorist activities, military action or otherwise, it could adversely impact our customers’ ability to pay us in a timely manner.

Our inability to adapt quickly to significant fluctuations in demand for our products relative to theManufacturing capacity of our manufacturing facilities could have a material adverse effect onutilization rates may adversely affect us.

Because we cannot quickly adapt our manufacturing capacity to rapidly changing market conditions, at At times we underutilize our manufacturing facilities as a result of reduced demand for certain of our products. We are substantially increasing our and FASL LLC’s manufacturing capacity by making significant capital investments in Dresden Fab 30, Fab 25, FASL JV2, FASL JV3 and ourthe test and assembly facility in Suzhou, China. If the increase in demand for our products is not consistent with our expectations, we may underutilize our manufacturing facilities, and we could be

materially adversely affected. This has in the past had, and in the future may have, a material adverse effect on our earnings and cash flow.

There may also be situations in which our manufacturing facilities are inadequate to meet the demand for certain of our products. Our inability to obtain sufficient manufacturing capacity to meet demand, either in our own facilities or through foundry or similar arrangements with others, could have a material adverse effect on us.

At this time, the most significant risk is that the ramp of production in Fab 25 of Flash memory products will not be successful or that demand for Flash memory products will be weaker than expected.

Further, during periods when we are implementing new process technologies, our or FASL LLC’s manufacturing facilities may not be fully productive. A substantial delay in the technology transitions in Dresden Fab 30 to smaller than 130-nanometer process technologies employing silicon on insulatorsilicon-on-insulator technology could have a material adverse effect on us.

At this time, the most significant risk is underutilization of our manufacturing capacity.

Unless we maintain manufacturing efficiency, our future profitability could be materially adversely affected.

Manufacturing semiconductor components involves highly complex processes that require advanced equipment. We and our competitors continuously modify these processes in an effort to improve yields and product performance. Impurities or other difficulties in the manufacturing process can lower yields. Our manufacturing efficiency will be an important factor in our future profitability, and we cannot be sure that we will be able to maintain our manufacturing efficiency or increase manufacturing efficiency to the same extent as our competitors.

From time to time, we have experienced difficulty in beginning production at new facilities, transferring production to other facilities, and in effecting transitions to new manufacturing processes that have caused us to suffer delays in product deliveries or reduced yields. We cannot be sure that we will not experience manufacturing problems in achieving acceptable yields or experience product delivery delays in the future as a result of, among other things, capacity constraints, construction delays, transferring production to other facilities, upgrading or expanding existing facilities or changing our process technologies, which could result in a loss of future revenues. Our results of operations could also be adversely affected by the increase in fixed costs and operating expenses related to increases in production capacity if revenues do not increase proportionately.

We cannot be certain that our substantial investments in research and development of process technologies will lead to improvements in technology and equipment used to fabricate our products or that we will have sufficient resources to invest in the level of research and development that is required to remain competitive.competitive

Further, we cannot assure you that we will have sufficient resources to maintain the level of investment in research and development that is required for us to remain competitive.

If our microprocessors are not compatible with some or all industry-standard software and hardware, we could be materially adversely affected.affected

. Our microprocessors may not be fully compatible with some or all industry-standard software and hardware. Further, we may be unsuccessful in correcting any such compatibility problems in a timely manner. If our customers are unable to achieve compatibility with software or hardware after our products are shipped in volume, we could be materially adversely affected. In addition, the mere announcement of an incompatibility problem relating to our products could have a material adverse effect on us.

Our debt instruments impose restrictions on us that may adversely affect our ability to operate our business.

Our July 19992003 Loan Agreement and our September 2002 Loan Agreement containcontains restrictive covenants and also requirerequires us to maintain specified financial ratios and satisfy other financial condition tests when our net domestic cash is below specified amounts, and the Dresden Loan Agreement imposesAgreements impose restrictive covenants on AMD Saxony, including a prohibition on its ability to pay dividends.
The July 2003 FASL Term Loan contains restrictive covenants and also requires FASL LLC to maintain specified financial ratios and satisfy other financial condition tests when its net domestic cash is below specified amounts.

Our ability to satisfy the covenants, financial ratios and tests of our debt instruments and FASL LLC’s ability to satisfy the covenants, financial ratios and tests of the July 2003 FASL Term Loan can be affected by events beyond our or FASL LLC’s control. We cannot assure you that we or FASL LLC will meet those requirements. A breach of any of these covenants, financial ratios or tests could result in a default under our July 19992003 Loan Agreement, our September 2002the July 2003 FASL Term Loan Agreement and/or the Dresden Loan Agreement.Agreements. In addition, these agreements contain cross default provisions whereby a default under one agreement would likely result in cross-default under agreements covering other borrowings. For example, the occurrence of a default under the July 2003 FASL Term Loan would cause a cross-default under the July 2003 Loan Agreement and a default under the July 2003 Loan Agreement or under the indentures governing our 4.75% Debentures and our 4.50% Notes would cause a cross-default under the Dresden Loan Agreements. The occurrence of an event ofa default under any of these agreements or under the indenture governing our Debentures would likely result in a cross-default under the agreements covering the other borrowings andborrowing arrangements would permit the applicable lenders or noteholdersnote holders to declare all amounts outstanding under those borrowing arrangements to be immediately due and payable and permittingwould permit the lenders to terminate all commitments to extend further credit. If we or FASL LLC were unable to repay those amounts, the lenders under the July 19992003 Loan Agreement, the September 2002July 2003 FASL Term Loan Agreement and the Dresden Loan AgreementAgreements could proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure that indebtedness. We have pledgedgranted a security interest in substantially all of our personal property, including inventory and accounts receivable as security under our July 19992003 Loan Agreement, andFASL LLC has granted a security interest in certain property, plant and equipment as security under our September 2002the July 2003 FASL Term Loan Agreement, and AMD Saxony has pledged substantially all of its property as security under the Dresden Loan Agreement.Agreements. If the lenders under any of the credit facilities or the noteholdersnote holders or the trustee under the indentureindentures governing our 4.75% Debentures and our 4.50% Notes accelerate the repayment of borrowings, we cannot assure you that we will have sufficient assets to repay those borrowings and our other indebtedness.

Costs related to defective products could have a material adverse effect on us.

One or more of our products may be found to be defective after the product has been shipped to customers in volume. The cost of a recall, software fix, product replacements and/or product returns may be substantial and could have a material adverse effect on us. In addition, modifications needed to fix the defect may impede performance of the product.

If essential raw materials are not available to manufacture our products, we could be materially adversely affected.

Certain raw materials we use in the manufacture of our products are available from a limited number of suppliers. Interruption of supply or increased demand in the industry could cause shortages and price increases in various essential materials. If we are unable to procure certain of these materials, we might have to reduce our manufacturing operations. Such a reduction could have a material adverse effect on us.

Our operations in foreign countries are subject to political and economic risks, which could have a material adverse effect on us.us

. Nearly all product assembly and final testing of our microprocessor products are performed at our manufacturing facilities in Malaysia Thailand, China, Japan and Singapore; or by subcontractors in the United States and Asia. Nearly all product assembly and final testing of Spansion products are performed at FASL LLC’s manufacturing facilities in Malaysia, Thailand, China and Japan. We manufacture our microprocessors in Germany. We also depend on foreign foundry suppliers and joint ventures for the manufacture of a portion of our finished silicon wafers and have international sales operations.

The political and economic risks associated with our operations in foreign countries include:

expropriation;

changes in a specific country’s or region’s political or economic conditions;
expropriation;

trade protection measures and import or export licensing requirements;
changes in a specific country’s or region’s political or economic conditions;

any of which could have a material adverse effect on us.

As part of our business strategy, we are continuing to seek expansion of product sales in emerging overseas markets. We recently signed a research and development joint venture agreement with China Basic Education Software Company, Ltd. to develop hardware platforms

-42-


using our products for computer equipment to be sold in the Chinese IT education market. Expansion into emerging overseas markets presents similar political and economic risks as described above, and we may be unsuccessful in our strategy to penetrate these emerging overseas markets.

Our inability to continue to attract and retain key personnel may hinder our product development programs.

Our future success depends upon the continued service of numerous key engineering, manufacturing, marketing, sales and executive personnel. If we are not able to continue to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel necessary for our business, the progress of our product development programs could be hindered, and we could be otherwise adversely affected.

Our operating results are subject to substantial seasonal fluctuations.

Our operating results tend to vary seasonally.For example, our revenues are generally higher in the fourth quarter than the third quarter of each year. This seasonal pattern is largely a result of decreased demand in Europe during the summer months and higher demand in the retail sector of the PC market during the winter holiday season. In recent quarters, a substantial portion of our quarterly sales havehas been made in the last month of the quarter.

Uncertainties involving the ordering and shipment of, and payment for, our products could materially adversely affect us.

Our sales are typically made pursuant to individual purchase orders, and we generally do not have long-term supply arrangements with our customers. Generally, our customers may cancel orders 30 days prior to shipment without incurring a significant penalty. We base our inventory levels on customers’ estimates of demand for their products, which is difficult to predict. This difficulty may be compounded when we sell to original equipment manufacturers indirectly through distributors, as our forecasts for demand are then based on estimates provided by multiple parties. In addition, our customers may change their inventory practices on short notice for any reason. The cancellation or deferral of product orders, the return of previously sold products or overproduction due to failure of anticipated orders to materialize could result in excess or obsolete inventory, which could result in write-downs of inventory.

During 2002, the markets in which our customers operate were characterized by a decline in end-userend user demand, which reduced visibility of future demand for our products and resulted in high levels of inventories in the PC industry supply chain. In some cases, this led to delays in payments for our products. WeWhile we believe thatinventories in the supply chain are currently at reasonable levels, market conditions are uncertain and these and other factors could continue to materially adversely affect our revenues in the near term.

products that are slow moving or have been discontinued. These agreements, which may be canceled by either party on a specified notice, generally allow for the return of our products. The price protection and return rights we offer to our distributors could materially adversely affect us if distributors exercise these rights as a result of an unexpected significant decline in the price of our products or otherwise.

If we cannot adequately protect our technology or other intellectual property, in the United States and abroad, through patents, copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks and other measures, we may lose a competitive advantage and incur significant expenses.expenses

. We may not be able to adequately protect our technology or other intellectual property, in the United States and abroad, through patents, copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks and other measures. Any patent licensed by us or issued to us could be challenged, invalidated or circumvented or rights granted thereunder may not provide a competitive advantage to us. Further, patent applications that we file may not be issued. Despite our efforts to protect our rights, others may independently develop similar products, duplicate our products or design around our patents and other rights. In addition, it is difficult to cost-effectively monitor compliance with, and enforce, our intellectual property on a worldwide basis.

From time to time, we have been notified that we may be infringing intellectual property rights of others. If any such claims are asserted against us, we may seek to obtain a license under the third party’s intellectual property rights. We cannot assure you that all necessary licenses can be obtained on satisfactory terms, if at all. We could decide, in the alternative, to resort to litigation to challenge such claims. Such challenges could be extremely expensive and time-consuming and could have a material adverse effect on us. We cannot assure you that litigation related to the intellectual property rights of us and others will always be avoided or successfully concluded.

Failure to comply with any of the applicable environmental regulations could subject us toresult in a range of consequences including fines, suspension of production, alteration of our manufacturing process, cessation of operations or regulatory action.sales, and criminal and civil liabilities

Our business involves the use of hazardous materials. If we fail to comply with governmental regulations related to the use, storage, handling, discharge. Existing or disposal of toxic, volatile or otherwise hazardous chemicals used in our manufacturing process, we may be subject to fines, suspension of production, alteration of our manufacturing processes or cessation of our operations. Suchfuture regulations could require us to procure expensive pollution abatement or remediation equipmentequipment; to modify product designs; or to incur other expenses to complyassociated with compliance with environmental regulations. AnyAlso, any failure to control the use of, disposal or storage of, or adequately restrict the discharge of, hazardous substances could subject us to future liabilities and could have a material adverse effect on us. Violations of environmental laws may result in criminal and civil liabilities.
Terrorist attacks, such as the attacks that occurred in New York and Washington, DC on September 11, 2001, and other acts of violence or war may materially adversely affect us.
Terrorist attacks may negatively affect our operations. These attacks or armed conflicts may directly impact our physical facilities or those of our suppliers or customers. Furthermore, these attacks may make travel and the transportation of our products more difficult and more expensive and ultimately affect our sales.

Also as a result of terrorism, the United States may be included in armed conflicts that could have a further impact on our sales, our supply chain, and our ability to deliver products to our customers. Political and economic instability in some regions of the world may also result and could negatively impact our business. The consequences of armed conflicts are unpredictable, and we may not be able to foresee events that could have an adverse effect on our business or your investment.
More generally, any of these events could cause consumer confidence and spending to decrease or result in increased volatility in the United States and worldwide financial markets and economy. They also could result in or exacerbate economic recession in the United States or abroad. Any of these occurrences could have a significant impact on our operating results, revenues and costs and may result in the volatility of the market price for our securities and on the future prices of our securities.

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
On January 29, 2002, we issued $500 million of our 4.75% Convertible Senior Debentures Due 2022 (the Debentures) in a private offering pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S of the Securities Act. The interest rate will be reset on each of August 1, 2008, August 1, 2011 and August 1, 2016 to a rate per annum equal to the interest rate payable 120 days prior to the reset dates on 5-year U.S. Treasury Notes, plus 43 basis points. The interest rate will not be less than 4.75 percent and will not exceed 6.75 percent. Holders of the Debentures will also have the right to require us to repurchase all or a portion of their Debentures on February 1, 2009, February 1, 2012, and February 1, 2017, at a price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Debentures are convertible by the holders into our common stock at a conversion price of $23.38 per share at any time. At this conversion price, each $1,000 principal amount of the Debentures will be convertible into approximately 43 shares of our common stock.
On September 27, 2002, we entered into a term loan and security agreement with a domestic financial institution (the September 2002 Loan Agreement). Under the agreement, we can borrow up to $155 million to be secured by certain property, plant and equipment located at our Fab 25 semiconductor manufacturing facility in Austin, Texas. Amounts borrowed under the September 2002 Loan Agreement bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus four percent, which was 5.8 percent at September 29, 2002, and repayment occurs in equal, consecutive, quarterly principal and interest payments beginning December 2002 and ending on September 2006. As of September 29, 2002, $110 million was outstanding under the September 2002 Loan Agreement. We must also comply with certain financial covenants if its net domestic cash, as defined in the agreement, drops to an amount of $300 million or less. We intend to use the net proceeds for capital expenditures, working capital, and general corporate purposes.
