March 30,September 28, 2003
1. Basis of Presentation

(the Company or AMD) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 28, 2003. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the information contained herein reflects all adjustments necessary to make the results of operations for the interim periods a fair statement of such operations. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2002.2002, as amended. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
The Company uses a 52- to 53- week fiscal year ending on the last Sunday in December. The quarters ended March 30,September 28, 2003 and March 31,September 29, 2002 each included 13 weeks. The nine- month periods ended September 28, 2003 and September 29, 2002 each included 39 weeks.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the Company’s accounts and those of its majority and wholly owned subsidiaries (see Note 6FASL LLC). Upon consolidation, all significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated and amounts pertaining to the noncontrolling ownership interests in the operating results and financial position of the majority owned subsidiary, FASL LLC, are reported as “minority interest.” Also included in the financial statements, under the equity method of accounting, are the Company’s percentage equity share of certain investees’ operating results, where the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operations of the investee.
Product Warranties.At the time revenue is recognized, the Company provides for estimated costs that may be incurred under product warranties, with the corresponding expense recognized in cost of sales. Estimates of warranty expense are based on historical experience. Remaining warranty accruals are evaluated periodically and are adjusted for changes in experience.
New Accounting Pronouncements.In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (FIN 46). Variable interest entities often are created for a single specified purpose, for example, to facilitate securitization, leasing, hedging, research and development, or other transactions or arrangements. Formerly “Consolidation of Certain Special Purpose Entities” in its draft form, thisThis interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” defines what these variable interest entities are and provides guidelines on identifying them and assessing an 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 provisionprovisions of this interpretation will apply no later than the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after June 15, 2003. Currently, the Company does not have any variable interest entities and the Company does not expect theThe adoption of FIN 46 willdid not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity” (SFAS 150), which addresses how to classify and measure certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities (or an asset in some circumstances) and equity – as either debt or equity in the balance sheet. The requirements apply to issuers’ classification and measurement of freestanding financial instruments, including those that comprise more than one option or forward contract. SFAS 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS 150 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
3. Stock-Based Incentive Compensation Plans
The Company uses the intrinsic value method to account for stock options issued to its employees under its stock option plans and amortizes deferred compensation, if any, over the vesting period of the options. Compensation expense resulting from the issuance of fixed term stock option awards is measured as the difference between the exercise price of the option and the fair market value of the underlying share of company stock subject to the
-6-
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 earningsloss and net earningsloss per share are as follows for the three-monthquarters and nine-month periods ended March 30,September 28, 2003 and March 31,September 29, 2002.

At March 30,September 28, 2003 and December 29, 2002, the Company had approximately $12 million and $13 million of investments classified as held to maturity, consisting of commercial paper and treasury notes used for long-term workers compensation and leasehold deposits that were included in other assets. The fair value of the investments approximated cost at March 30,September 28, 2003 and December 29, 2002.

Restrictions over the Company’s access to the restricted cash will lapse as the Company incurs qualifying interest expense on the Dresden term loansloan over the next four quarters.
5. Net Loss Per Common Share
Potential dilutive common shares include shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding employee stock options and the conversion of outstanding convertible notes and debentures. As the Company incurred net losses for all periods presented, diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share. Potential dilutive common shares of approximately 7678 million and 2122 million for the quartersthree months ended March 30,September 28, 2003 and March 31,September 29, 2002 and 77 million and 20 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2003 and September 29, 2002 were not included in the net loss per common share calculation, as their inclusion would have been antidilutive.
6. FASL LLC
In order to respond more quickly to changes in market trends and improve efficiencies in the production, marketing and product design of their Flash memory products, the Company and Fujitsu Limited formed FASL LLC effective June 30, 2003. FASL LLC is headquartered in Sunnyvale, California and its manufacturing, research and assembly operations are in the U.S. and Asia. As the Company has a 60% controlling equity interest in FASL LLC, it began consolidating the results of FASL LLC’s operations on June 30, 2003, the effective date of the transaction. The Company is accounting for the FASL LLC transaction as a partial step acquisition and purchase business combination under the provisions of SFAS 141,Business Combinations, and EITF Consensus No. 01-02,Interpretations of APB Opinion No. 29, [Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions].
Both the Company and Fujitsu contributed their respective investments in the former Manufacturing Joint Venture (formerly referred to as FASL). As a result of this transaction, the Company acquired an incremental 10.008% controlling interest in the net assets of the Manufacturing Joint Venture (the difference between the Company’s 60% ownership of these net assets after their contribution to FASL LLC and its previous 49.992% ownership in these same net assets prior to their contribution to FASL LLC). Accordingly, the Company recorded its acquired incremental 10.008% interest in the Manufacturing Joint Venture’s contributed net assets based on the assets’ fair value on the effective
-9-
date of the transaction. The remaining 89.992% interest in the Manufacturing Joint Venture’s net assets was recorded at its historical carrying value.
The Company also contributed its Flash memory inventory, its manufacturing facility located in Austin, Texas (Fab 25), its Flash memory research and development facilities in Sunnyvale, California, and its Flash memory assembly and test operations in Thailand, Malaysia and China. The Company recorded its continuing 60% interest in these net assets at their historical carrying values. The remaining 40% interest in these net assets was deemed to have been sold to Fujitsu and, accordingly, 40% of the carrying values of these net assets were adjusted to and recorded based on the net assets’ fair value on the effective date of the transaction. The excess of the fair value of the net assets treated as sold over their historical carrying value, approximately $44.7 million, was not recorded as a gain because the fair value of the consideration received by the Company in the form of the Company’s 60% equity interest in Fujitsu’s contributions and the incremental 10.008% interest in the former Manufacturing Joint Venture’s net assets less direct costs of the transaction, did not exceed the 40% interest in book value of the net assets contributed by the Company.
To form FASL LLC, Fujitsu also contributed its Flash memory division, including related inventory, cash, and its Flash memory assembly and test operations in Malaysia. The Company is deemed to have acquired a 60% interest in the net assets contributed by Fujitsu and, accordingly, 60% of the carrying values of these net assets were adjusted to and recorded based on the net assets’ fair value. The remaining 40% interest in these net assets was recorded at the historical carrying value.
As part of the transaction, the Company and Fujitsu entered into various service contracts with FASL LLC. The Company will continue to provide, among other things, certain information technology, facilities, logistics, legal, tax, finance, human resources and environmental, health and safety services to FASL LLC. These contracts continue to be evaluated by the parties to ensure accuracy and efficiency in the manner in which the services are provided and allocated to FASL LLC.
The Company also loaned FASL LLC $120 million pursuant to a promissory note. The note has a term of three years and bears interest at LIBOR plus 4%, but is eliminated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Fujitsu also loaned FASL LLC $40 million pursuant to a promissory note. The note has a term of three years, with four equal principal payments due on September 30, 2005, December 31, 2005, March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006. The note bears interest at LIBOR plus 4% to be paid quarterly.
The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation to the assets and liabilities of FASL LLC at June 30, 2003, the effective date of the transaction, including the fair values of the assets and liabilities attributable to the Manufacturing Joint Venture, AMD’s contributions and Fujitsu’s contributions. Upon consolidation, all amounts pertaining to Fujitsu’s interest in FASL LLC are reported as minority interest. Management considered a number of factors, including independent appraisals and valuations, in determining the preliminary purchase allocation.

The intangible assets in the table above consist of the estimated fair value of the manufacturing and product distribution contracts among FASL LLC and AMD and Fujitsu which are determined to have an estimated useful life of four years. No value was assigned to in-process research and development because AMD and Fujitsu performed all research and development activities for the Manufacturing Joint Venture and AMD and Fujitsu did not convey in-process technology rights to FASL LLC. Additionally, FASL LLC pays intellectual property royalties to AMD and Fujitsu for technological know-how used in its business operations at royalty rates deemed to approximate fair market values. No additional intangible assets were identified in connection with the transaction.
The Company’s acquisition cost was approximately $264 million, which includes 40% of the net book value of the Company’s contributions and other direct acquisition costs incurred by the Company. The acquisition cost approximated the fair values of the incremental net assets and equity interests acquired. Accordingly, there was no goodwill associated with the business combination.
The following pro forma financial information includes the combined results of operations of AMD and the Manufacturing Joint Venture as though the Manufacturing Joint Venture had been consolidated by AMD at the beginning of the nine-month periods ended September 28, 2003 and September 29, 2002 and for the quarter ended September 29, 2002. The historically reported operating results of the Manufacturing Joint Venture do not include Flash memory sales recorded by Fujitsu’s former Flash memory operations in periods preceding June 29, 2003 because the information is not available to the Company. Depreciation and amortization expenses were estimated for the pro forma periods based on the amounts at which fixed and intangible assets were recorded at the acquisition date. Pro forma interest income and expense are not material and are not included in the pro forma financial information. Had the transaction occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2003, revenue, net loss and net loss per share would have been $2,536 million, $322 million and $0.93 for the nine-month period ended September 28, 2003. As the effective date of the transaction was June 30, 2003, no pro forma information is necessary for the three months ended September 28, 2003. Had the transaction occurred at the beginning of 2002, revenue, net loss and net loss per share would have been $627 million, $257 million, and $0.75, respectively, for the three-month period ended September 29, 2002 and $2,297 million, $446 million, and $1.30 for the nine-month periods ended September 29, 2002. These pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred if the transaction had been completed at the beginning of the periods indicated. The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of future operating results.
In 1993,addition, the Manufacturing Joint Venture provided a defined benefit pension plan and a lump-sum retirement benefit plan to certain employees. These plans were and are administered by Fujitsu and cover FASL LLC employees formerly assigned from Fujitsu and employees hired directly by the Manufacturing Joint Venture. A full actuarial valuation has not been completed for the specific portion of the plans that relate to the Manufacturing Joint Venture employees. As a result, the Company formed a joint venture (FASL) with Fujitsu Limited forestimated FASL LLC’s proportionate allocation of pension obligations, pension assets and elements of pension expensed based on information provided by the development and manufacture of non-volatile memory devices (See Note 11). FASL operates advanced integrated circuit manufacturing facilities in Aizu-Wakamatsu, Japan,actuaries to produce Flash memory devices, which are solddetermine the amounts to be recorded on its consolidated financial statements. For the quarter ended September 28, 2003, the Company recorded an estimated pension cost charge of approximately $3 million and Fujitsu. The Company’s sharehas recorded an estimated pension benefit obligation liability of FASL is 49.992 percentapproximately $25 million. As of September 28, 2003, the estimated projected benefit obligations were approximately $27 million and the investmentestimated total pension plan assets were approximately $4 million. Although the Company believes that the estimates and assumptions used by the Company are reasonable, the actual amounts recorded could vary when a full actuarial valuation is being accounted forcompleted as of Fujitsu’s fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. However, the Company does not expect any such difference will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

under the equity method. The Company’s share of FASL net income during the first quarter of 2003 was $1.1 million, net of income taxes of approximately $0.8 million. At March 30, 2003, the cumulative adjustment related to the translation of the FASL financial statements into U.S. dollars resulted in an increase in the investment in FASL of $1.4 million.

Pursuant to a cross-equity provision between the Company and Fujitsu, the Company has purchased 0.5 million shares of Fujitsu Limited common stock as of March 30, 2003. UnderManufacturing Joint Venture for the same provision, Fujitsu Limited purchased nine million shares ofperiods in which the Company’s common stock.investment was accounted for under the equity method:
FASL is continuing the facilitization of its second and third Flash memory device wafer fabrication facilities, FASL JV2 and FASL JV3, in Aizu-Wakamatsu, Japan. Capital expenditures for FASL JV2 and FASL JV3 construction and facilitization to date have been funded by cash generated primarily from FASL operations and borrowings by FASL. These costs are incurred in Japanese yen and are, therefore, subject to change due to foreign exchange rate fluctuations. On March 30, 2003, the exchange rate was approximately 119.535 yen to one U.S. dollar. The Company used this rate to translate the amounts denominated in yen into U.S. dollars.

FASL capital expenditures in 2003 are expected to be funded by cash generated from FASL operations and local borrowings by FASL. However, to the extent that FASL is unable to secure the necessary funds for FASL JV2 or FASL JV3, the Company will be required to contribute cash or guarantee third-party loans in proportion to its 49.992 percent interest in FASL, up to 25 billion yen ($209 million). As of March 30, 2003, the Company had $76 million in loan guarantees outstanding with respect to these third-party loans. As of March 30, 2003, the Company had not recorded any liability in its consolidated financial statements associated with these guarantees as these guarantees were entered into prior to the effective date for FIN 45.

7. Foundry Arrangement Guarantee
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, the Company agreed to guarantee the repayment of up to $125 million of Fujitsu’s obligations as a co-signer with FMI under its global multicurrency revolving credit facility (the Credit Facility) with a third-party bank (the Guarantee). On November 30,In 2001, Fujitsu announced that it was closingclosed the Gresham Facility due to the downturn of the Flash memory market. To date, the Company has not received notice from Fujitsu that FMI has defaulted on any payments due under the Credit Facility. The Company continues to disagreedisagreed with Fujitsu as to the amount if any, of its obligationsowed under the Guarantee. Whilethis Guarantee and reached a settlement, resulting in a cash payment by the Company continues to discuss this matter with Fujitsu, it cannot predictFujitsu. The settlement amount is immaterial to the outcomeCompany’s financial statements, and was recorded in the Company’s statement of this matter. Accordingly,operations for the second quarter ended June 29, 2003 and paid in the third quarter ended September 28, 2003.
8. Segment Reporting
Prior to the third quarter of 2003, the Company has not recorded any liability in its consolidated financial statements associated with the Guarantee.
AMD operated inhad two reportable segments:segments, the Core Products segment, which reflects the aggregationand Foundry Services segments. Primarily as a result of the PC processor, memory productsformation of FASL LLC, the Company re-evaluated its reportable segments under SFAS 131. Management reviews and Other IC productsassesses operating performance using segment revenues and operating income before interest, taxes and minority interest. These performance measures include the allocation of expenses to the operating segments and the Foundry Services segment. The aggregation of the Company’s operating segments into the Company’s reporting segments was made pursuant to the aggregationbased on management judgment.
-10-
criteria set forth in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 (SFAS 131). The Core Products segment includes microprocessors, Flash memory devices, Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EPROM) devices, embedded processors, platform products, personal connectivity solutions products and networking products. The Foundry Services segment includes the sale of products to Legerity and Vantis, the Company’s former voice communications products and programmable logic products subsidiaries. The Company terminated its foundry service arrangements with LegerityBeginning in the third quarter of 20022003, the Company changed its reportable segments to: the Computation Products segment, which includes x86 microprocessors for servers, workstations, desktop and will terminate its foundry service arrangements with Vantisnotebook PCs and chipset products, and the Memory Products segment, which includes the Flash memory products of AMD and FASL LLC. The Company believes that separate reporting of these operating segments, given the Company’s new focus on FASL LLC as a separate operating company and FASL LLC’s separate market brand, provides more useful information.
The All Other category comprises other small operating segments (Personal Connectivity Solutions Products, which includes low power MIPS and x86 solutions, and Foundry Services, which included fees from our former voice communications and programmable logic products subsidiaries) that are neither individually nor in the thirdaggregate material. This category also includes certain operating expenses and credits that are not allocated to the operating segments. Prior period segment information has been restated to conform to the current period presentation. However, as the Company’s results of operations for prior periods did not include the consolidation of FASL LLC’s operations the segment operating information for the Memory Products segment for the quarter of 2003. The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on these segments’ operating income (loss).ended September 28, 2003 is not comparable to the restated segment information for all prior periods presented.

Dresden Term Loan Agreements and Dresden Term Loan Guarantee
AMD Saxony Limited Liability Company & Co. KG, (AMD Saxony, formerly known as AMD Saxony Manufacturing GmbH), an indirect wholly owned German subsidiary of AMD, continues to facilitize Fab 30, which began production in the third quarter of 2000. AMD, the Federal Republic of Germany, the State of Saxony and a consortium of banks are providing financing for the project.
In March 1997, AMD Saxony entered into a loan agreement and other related agreements (the Dresden Loan Agreements) with a consortium of banks led by Dresdner Bank AG, a German financial institution, in order to finance the project. The Dresden Loan Agreements were amended in February 1998, June 1999, February 2001, June 2002 and December 2002.
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 0.930.87 euro to one U.S. dollar as of March 30,September 28, 2003, to translate the amounts denominated in deutsche marks into U.S. dollars.
The Dresden Loan Agreements, as amended, provide for the funding of the construction and facilitization of Fab 30. The funding consists of:
-14-
The Dresden Loan Agreementsalso 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 March 30, 2003, the Company had provided $160 million of subordinated loans, $294 million of revolving loans and $286 million of equity investments in AMD Saxony. 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 $828 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 $593 million of such loans outstanding as of March 30, 2003, which is included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
The Dresden Loan Agreements, as amended, also require that the Company:
As AMD Saxony’s obligations under the Dresden Loan Agreements are included 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 fail to comply with certain obligations thereunder or upon the occurrenceGuarantees of certain events, including:

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 Agreements, the July 1999 Loan Agreement and the September 2002 Loan Agreement. As of March 30, 2003, the Company was in compliance with all conditions of the Dresden Loan Agreements.consolidated balance sheets

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. In June 2002,To finance the project, BAC entered into an $81$86 million bridge loan (Bridge Loan) with a consortium of banks led by Dresdner Bank for the purpose of constructing the facility. The Company guaranteed the payment obligations of BAC under the Bridge Loan, in an amount not to exceed $27 million plus interestJune 2002, and expenses. In December 2002, BAC and AMTC executedentered into a facility agreement, consisting of a $130$138 million revolving credit facility (Revolving Loan) and an $81$86 million term loan in December 2002. In September 2003, the outstanding amounts under the bridge loan were repaid with proceeds from the term loan. Also in December 2002, in order to occupy the photomask facility, (Term Loan),AMTC entered into a rental agreement with a consortium of banks ledBAC. With regard to these commitments by Dresdner Bank. The Term Loan will supercedeBAC and replaceAMTC, the Bridge Loan.

Further, in the eventdefault by more than one of the three joint venture partners is unable to meet its guarantee obligations with respect to AMTC’s additional rental payment obligations, the remaining joint venture partners agreed to assume, on a pro rata basis, the defaulting partner’s guarantee obligations with respect to AMTC’s additional rental payment only. Assuming the other tenant of the photomask facility defaults under the rental agreement and AMTC exercises its option to assume the defaulting tenant’s obligationspartner under its rental agreement and assuming a default under the rental guarantee by both Infineon and DuPont,obligations, the maximum potential amount of the Company’s guarantee obligations for theseunder the rental paymentsagreement guarantee would be approximately $130 million.

The Company has not recorded any liability in its consolidated financial statements associated with these guarantees.guarantees because they were issued prior to the effective date of FIN 45.
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 to end users 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 only for all other products.
Changes in the Company’s potential liability for product warranty during the quartersnine months ended March 30,September 28, 2003 were as follows:
(Thousands) | ||||
Balance at December 29, 2002 | $ | 19,369 | ||
New warranties issued during the period | 28,437 | |||
Settlements during the period | (21,003 | ) | ||
Changes in liability for pre-existing warranties during the period, including expirations | (4,520 | ) | ||
Balance at September 28, 2003 | $ | 22,283 | ||
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 have not been material.
12. Restructuring and Other Special Charges
2002 Restructuring Plan
In December 2002, the Company began implementing a restructuring plan (the 2002 Restructuring Plan) to further align its cost structure to industry conditions resulting from weak customer demand and industry-wide excess inventory.
As part of this plan, and as a result of the 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 has vacated, and is attempting to sublease, certain facilities currently occupied under long-term operating leases. The Company has also terminated the implementation of certain partially completed enterprise resource planning (ERP) software and other information technology implementation activities, resulting in the abandonment of certain software, hardware and capitalized development costs.
Pursuant to the 2002 Restructuring Plan, the Company recorded restructuring costs and other special charges of $330.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2002, consisting primarily of $68.8 million of anticipated severance and fringe benefit costs, an asset impairment charge of $32.5 million relating to a license that had no future use because of its association with discontinued logic development activities, asset impairment charges of $30.6 million resulting from the abandonment of equipment previously used in logic process development and manufacturing activities, anticipated exit costs of $138.9 million primarily related to vacating and consolidating the Company’s facilities and $55.5 million resulting from the abandonment of partially completed ERP software and other information technology implementation activities.
In the third quarter ended September 28, 2003, the Company revised its estimates of the number of positions to be eliminated pursuant to the 2002 Restructuring Plan from 2,000 to 1,800 in response to the additional resources required due to the FASL LLC transaction. As a result, the Company reversed $8 million of the estimated severance and fringe benefit accrual due to the decision to reduce the number of positions to be eliminated by 200. Therefore, the 2002 Restructuring Plan will result in the reduction of approximately 1,800 positions or 14 percent of the Company’s employees, affecting all levels of its workforce in almost every organization. As of September 28, 2003, 1,512 employees had been terminated pursuant to the 2002 Restructuring Plan resulting in cumulative cash payments of $50 million for severance and
-19-
employee benefit costs. The Company expects to substantially complete the activities associated with the 2002 Restructuring Plan by the end of December 2003.
During the first quarter of 2003, management approved the sale of additional equipment, primarily equipment used in the SDC, that had been identified as no longer useful in the Company’s operations. As a result, the Company recorded approximately $11 million of asset impairment charges in the first quarter of 2003, including $3.3 million of charges for decommission costs necessary to complete the equipment’s sale.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We operated inPrior to the third quarter of 2003, we had two reportable segments:segments, the Core Products and Foundry Services segments. Primarily as a result of the formation of FASL LLC, we re-evaluated our reportable segments. We review and assess operating performance using segment revenues and operating income before interest, taxes and minority interest. These performance measures include the allocation of expenses to the operating segments based on management judgment.
Beginning in the third quarter of 2003, we changed our reportable segments to: the Computation Products segment, which reflectsincludes x86 microprocessors for servers, workstations, desktop and notebook PCs and chipset products, and the aggregation ofMemory Products segment, which includes the PC processor,Flash memory products of AMD 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 processorFASL LLC. Microprocessor products include our AMD AthlonOpteron™TM, AMD AthlonTM XP and AMD Duron™TM microprocessors. Memory products include Flash memory devices and Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory, (EPROM)or EPROM devices.

In order to respond more quickly to changes in market trends and improve efficiencies in the production, marketing and product design of 13 weeks.our Flash memory products, we and Fujitsu formed FASL LLC effective June 30, 2003. As we have a 60% controlling equity interest in FASL LLC.
Both we and Fujitsu contributed our respective investments in the Manufacturing Joint Venture (formerly referred to as FASL). We also contributed Flash memory inventory, our manufacturing facility located in Austin, Texas (Fab 25), our Flash memory research and development facilities in Sunnyvale, California, and our Flash memory assembly and test operations in Thailand, Malaysia and China. In addition, Fujitsu contributed its Flash memory division, including related inventory, cash, and its Flash memory assembly and test operations in Malaysia.
As a result of the transaction, we began consolidating the results of FASL LLC’s operations on the first day of the quarter ended September 28, 2003. The results of operations for prior periods do not include the consolidation of FASL LLC’s operations. Accordingly, the results of operations during the third quarter of 2003 are not comparable to the results of operations in prior periods.

Net Sales Comparison of Quarters Ended September 28, 2003 and June 29, 2003
Net sales of $954 million for the third quarter of 2003 increased 48 percent compared to the net sales of $645 million for the second quarter of 2003.
Computation Products net sales of $503 million increased 24 percent in the third quarter of 2003 compared to the second quarter of 2003. The increase in net sales was due to growth in Europe and Asia. Microprocessor unit shipments and average selling prices increased by 8 percent and 14 percent during the quarter. In the fourth quarter of 2003, we expect microprocessor sales to increase due to normal seasonality and the availability of a richer mix of products.
Memory products net sales of $424 million increased 101 percent in the third quarter of 2003 compared to the second quarter of 2003. The increase in net sales was primarily attributable to the effect of consolidating the operating results of FASL LLC, which includes FASL LLC sales to Fujitsu, and increased demand for Flash memory products. Further quantification of the breakdown in the sales increase is not practical due to the reorganization of geographical sales territories between AMD and Fujitsu. In the fourth quarter of 2003, we expect our reported Flash memory device sales to increase primarily due to normal seasonality and increasing customer acceptance of MirrorBitTM technology.

The gross margin percentage of 3134 percent in the third quarter of 2003 remained flat from the second quarter of 2003 and increased from 11 percent in the third quarter of 2002. The gross margin percentage of 33 percent for the first quarternine months of 2003 increased from 2620 percent for the first nine months of 2002. Gross margins in the fourththird quarter of 2003 remained flat from the second quarter of 2003 due to an 8 percent increase in microprocessor average selling prices, offset by the absence of an approximate $20 million benefit from the second quarter sale of microprocessor products that had previously been written off. In addition, we incurred a $16 million loss on the sale-leaseback of certain manufacturing equipment.

In December 2002, we finalizedbegan implementing a restructuring plan (the 2002 Restructuring Plan) to further align our cost structure to industry conditions resulting from weak customer demand and industry-wide excess inventory. The 2002 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 developmentdevelop future generations of our logic process technology, we are ramping downhave ceased silicon processing associated with logic research and development in our Submicron Development Center (SDC) and will eliminatehave eliminated most of those related resources, including the sale or abandonment of certain equipment used in the SDC.

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 in the fourth quarter of 2002 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 associatedthat has no future use because of its association with discontinued logic development activities, that has no future use, 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 vacatevacating and consolidateconsolidating our facilities and $55.5 million resulting from the abandonment of partially completed ERP software and other information technology implementation activities.
We began activitiesIn the third quarter ended September 28, 2003, we revised our estimates of the number of positions to be eliminated pursuant to the 2002 Restructuring Plan duringfrom 2,000 to 1,800 in response to the fourth quarteradditional resources required due to the FASL LLC transaction. As a result, we reversed $8 million of the estimated severance and fringe benefit accrual due to the decision to reduce the number of positions to be eliminated by 200. Therefore, the 2002 Restructuring Plan will result in the reduction of approximately 1,800 positions or 14 percent of our employees, affecting all levels of our workforce in almost every organization. As of September 28, 2003, 1,512 employees had been terminated pursuant to the 2002 Restructuring Plan resulting in cumulative cash payments of $50 million in severance and employee benefit costs. We expect to substantially complete the activities associated with the 2002 Restructuring Plan by the end of SeptemberDecember 2003. As of March 30, 2003, 1,333 employees were terminated pursuant to the 2002 Plan resulting in cash payments of $32 million in severance and employee benefit costs.
During the first quarter of 2003, management approved the sale of additional equipment, primarily equipment used in the SDC, that has been identified as no longer useful in our operations. As a result,

As a result of the 2002 Restructuring Plan, we expect to realize overall cost reductions of approximately $350$150 million in 2003. As of March 30,September 28, 2003, the actionactions taken to date pursuant to the 2002 Restructuring Plan resulted in actual savingsexpense reduction of approximately $33$108 million. We have also implemented other cost reduction initiatives that are incremental to the specific expense reductions resulting from the 2002 Restructuring Plan.
In 2001, we announced a restructuring plan (the 2001 Restructuring Plan) due to the continued slowdown in the semiconductor industry and a resulting decline in revenues. We have substantially completed our execution of the 2001 Restructuring Plan, with the exception of the facilities and equipment decommission activities which are expected to be completed by the end of 2003. During the first quarter of 2003, we reduced the estimated accrual of the facility and equipment decommission costs by $7.4 million based on the most current information available. During the first quarter, 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 (recoveries) net.

We recorded anno income tax provision of $3 millionbenefit against our pre-tax losses in the firstthird quarter of 2003 and an income tax benefit of $4$73 million in the firstthird quarter of 2002. The income tax provision recorded infor the first quarter ofnine months ended September 28, 2003 was primarily for$3 million, and reflects the netting of U.S. federal tax refunds and taxes due on income generated in certain statestates and foreign tax jurisdictions. No net tax benefit was recorded in the first quarternine months of 2003 on pre-tax losses due to the incurrence of continuing operating losses.

Other Items
International sales as a percent of net sales were 7379 percent in the firstthird quarter of 2003 compared to 7673 percent in the fourthsecond quarter of 20022003 and 6575 percent in the third quarter of 2002. International sales as a percent of net sales were 75 percent in the first quarternine months of 2003 and 69 percent in the first nine months of 2002. During the firstthird quarter of 2003, and 2002, approximately one21 percent of our net sales were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.dollar, primarily the yen, as compared to one percent during the third quarter of 2002. This was due to the consolidation of FASL LLC. Our foreign exchange risk exposure resulting from these sales is partially mitigated as a result of our yen denominated die purchases. The impact on our operating results from changes in foreign currency rates individually and in the aggregate has not been material, principally as a result of our foreign currency hedging activities.
Comparison of Segment Income (Loss)
We operated inPrior to the third quarter of 2003, we had two reportable segments:segments, the Core Products segment, which reflects the aggregationand Foundry Services segments. Primarily as a result of the PC processors, memory productsformation of FASL LLC, we re-evaluated our reportable segments. We review and Other IC productsassess operating performance using segment revenues and operating income before interest, taxes and minority interest. These performance measures include the allocation of expenses to the operating segments and the Foundry Services segment. The Core Products segment includes PC processors, Flash memory devices, EPROMs, embedded processors, platform products, personal connectivity solutions products and networking products. The Foundry Services segment included fees for products sold to Legerity and Vantis. We terminated our foundry services arrangement with Legeritybased on management judgment.
Beginning in the third quarter of 20022003, we changed our reportable segments to: the Computation Products segment, which includes x86 microprocessors for servers, workstations, desktop and will terminatenotebook PCs and chipset products, and the foundry service arrangement with VantisMemory Products segment, which includes the Flash memory products of AMD and FASL LLC. Microprocessor products include our AMD OpteronTM, AMD AthlonTM and AMD DuronTM microprocessors. Memory products include Flash memory devices and Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory, or EPROM devices. We believe that separate reporting of these operating segments, given our new focus on FASL LLC as a separate operating company and its separate market brand—Spansion, provides more useful information.
The All Other category comprises other small operating segments (Personal Connectivity Solutions Products, which includes lower power MIPS and x86 solutions, and Foundry Services, which included fees from our former voice communications and programmable logic products subsidiaries) that are neither individually nor in the third quarter of 2003. For a comparison of segment net sales, referaggregate material. This category also includes certain operating expenses and credits that are not allocated to the previous discussions on net sales by product group.operating segments. Prior period segment information has been restated to conform to the current period presentation. However, as the results of operations for prior periods do not include the consolidation of FASL LLC’s operations, the restated information for the Memory Products segment for the current periods are not comparable to those in prior periods.
The following is a summary of operating loss by segment and category for the periods presented below:

Issuance costs incurred in the amount of approximately $12 million are being amortized ratably, which approximates the interest method, over the term of the 4.50% Notes as interest expense.

Dresden Term Loans and Dresden Term Loan Guarantee
AMD Saxony, 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.We currently estimate that the construction and facilitization costs of Fab 30 will be $2.7 billion when it is fully equipped by the end of 2005. As of March 30,September 28, 2003, we had invested $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 in order to finance the project. The Dresden Loan Agreements were amended in February 1998, June 1999, February 2001, June 2002 and December 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 1one euro for the conversion of deutsche marks to euros, and then used exchange rate of 0.930.87 euro to 1one U.S. dollar as of March 30,September 28, 2003, to translate the amounts denominated in deutsche marks into U.S. dollars.
The Dresden Loan Agreements, as amended, provide for the funding of the construction and facilitization of Fab 30. The funding consists of:
The Dresden Loan Agreements require that we 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 March 30,September 28, 2003, we had provided $160the balances were $168 million of subordinated loans, $294$66 million of revolving loans and $286 million 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 made available up to $828$880 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 $593$613 million of such loans outstanding as of March 30,September 28, 2003, which are included in our consolidated balance sheets.
Finally, pursuant to a Subsidy Agreement, as amended in August 2002, the Federal Republic of Germany and the State of Saxony are supporting the Fab 30 project, in accordance with the Dresden Loan Agreements, in the form of:
-29-
Of these amounts, AMD Saxony had received approximately $309$412 million in capital investment grants and allowance, $106allowances, $122 million in interest subsidies. In addition, AMD Saxony received advanced payments for interest subsidies amounting to $43 million, of which approximately $11 million is restricted from our access for more than one year, and is therefore included in Other Assets. In addition to the above mentioned subsidies,$28 million. AMD Saxony also received $31$44 million in research and development subsidies through March 30,September 28, 2003. Amounts received under the Subsidy Agreement are recorded as a long-term liability on our financial 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 employee headcount by December 2003 and to maintain such 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 $449$477 million to $393$418 million. We adjusted the quarterly amortization of these amounts accordingly. There have been no conditions of noncompliance through March 30,September 28, 2003 that would result in forfeiture of any of the grants and allowances.
The Dresden Loan Agreements, as amended, also require that we:

As of March 30,September 28, 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.of approximately $613 million. The occurrence of a default under these agreementsthe 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.
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 $138 million revolving credit facility and an $86 million term loan in December 2002. In September 2003, the outstanding amounts under the bridge loan were repaid with proceeds from the term loan. Also in December 2002, in order to occupy the photomask facility, AMTC entered into a rental agreement with BAC. With regard to these commitments by BAC and AMTC, we guaranteed up to approximately $29 million plus interest and expenses under the term loan, up to approximately $37 million plus interest and expenses under the revolving loan, and up to approximately $16 million, initially, under the rental
-37-
agreement. The obligations under the rental agreement guarantee diminish over time through 2011 as the term loan is repaid. However, under certain circumstances of default by the other tenant of the photomask facility under its rental agreement with BAC and certain circumstances of default by more than one joint venture partner under its rental agreement guarantee obligations, the maximum potential amount of our obligations under the rental agreement guarantee is approximately $130 million. As of September 28, 2003, $12 million was drawn under the revolving credit facility, and $75 million was drawn under the term loan and are subject to the aforementioned guarantees.
We have not recorded any liability in our consolidated financial statements associated with the guarantees because they were issued prior to the effective date of FIN 45.
Capital Lease Obligations
As of March 30,September 28, 2003, we had capital lease obligations of approximately $40$276 million. Obligations under these lease agreements are collateralized by the assets leased and are payable through 2006.2007. Leased assets consist principally of machinery and equipment.
Operating Leases, Unconditional Purchase Commitments and Other Operating Commitments
We lease certain of our facilities, including our executive offices in Sunnyvale, California, under lease agreements that expire at various dates through 2018. We lease certain of our manufacturing and office equipment for terms ranging from one to five years. Total future lease obligations as of March 30,September 28, 2003, were approximately $451$475 million, of which $137$130 million was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2002 as a liability for certain facilities that were included inpursuant to our 2002 restructuring plan.Restructuring Plan.

We enter into purchase commitments for manufacturing supplies and services. Total purchase commitments as of March 30,September 28, 2003, were approximately $147$128 million for periods through 2009. $90 million of the amount relates to the remaining payments for a three-year service contract. As the services are being performed ratably over the life of the arrangement, we expense the payments as incurred. As a result, we do not carry any liabilities relating to this agreement. The remaining $38 million consists of miscellaneous purchase agreements for raw materials and office supplies.
FASL FacilitiesLLC Debt and Guarantees
July 2003 FASL Term Loan
On July 11, 2003, we amended our September 2002 Loan Agreement and assigned it to FASL LLC.

Fujitsu Cash Note
As a result of the FASL LLC transaction, Fujitsu also loaned to FASL LLC $40 million pursuant to a promissory note. The note has a term of three years, with four equal principal payments on September 30, 2005, December 31, 2005, March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006.
Manufacturing Joint Venture Loan and Guarantee
As a result of the FASL LLC transaction agreements with Fujitsu, the Manufacturing Joint Venture’s third party loans were refinanced from the proceeds of a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of 18 billion yen (approximately $161 million on September 28, 2003) entered into between a wholly owned subsidiary of FASL LLC and a Japanese financial institution. Under the agreement, the amounts borrowed bear an interest rate of TIBOR plus a spread that is determined by Fujitsu’s current debt rating. The current interest rate is 1.06%.

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. In June 2002, BAC entered into an $81 million bridge loan (Bridge Loan) with a consortium of banks led by Dresdner Bank for the purpose of constructing the facility. We guaranteed the payment obligations of BAC under the Bridge Loan, in an amount not to exceed $27 million plus interest and expenses. In December 2002, BAC and AMTC executed a facility agreement, consisting of a $130 million revolving credit facility (Revolving Loan) and an $81 million term loan facility (Term Loan), with a consortium of banks led by Dresdner Bank. The Term Loan will supercede and replace the Bridge Loan. We guaranteed the payment obligations of AMTC, in an amount not to exceed $35 million plus interest and expenses, under the Revolving Loan. In addition, we guaranteed the payment obligations of BAC, in an amount not to exceed $27 million plus interest and expenses, under the Term Loan.
In December 2002, AMTC and BAC entered into a rental agreement with respect to the photomask facility. We guaranteed approximately 23 percent of the payment obligations of AMTC under the rental agreement, which we believe will be equal to approximately $17 million, initially, and will diminish over time through 2011 as the Term Loan is repaid. Our rental guarantee will replace our guarantee of the Term Loan. In addition, in the event the other tenant of the photomask facility defaults under its rental agreement, and AMTC assumes the defaulting tenant’s lease and related lease obligations, we would be required to guarantee 23 percent of these additional rental payment obligations. Further, in the event one of the three joint venture partners is unable to meet its guarantee obligations with respect to AMTC’s additional rental payment obligations, the remaining joint venture partners agreed to assume, on a pro rata basis, the defaulting partner’s guarantee obligations with respect to AMTC’s additional rental payment only. Assuming the other tenant of the

photomask facility defaults under the rental agreement and AMTC exercises its option to assume the defaulting tenant’s obligations under its rental agreement, and assuming a default under the rental guarantee by both Infineon and DuPont, the maximum potential amount of our guarantee obligations for these rental payments would be approximately $130 million.
As of March 30, 2003, no amounts were drawn under the Revolving Loan or the Term Loan, and we have not recorded any liability in our consolidated financial statements associated with the guarantees.

We believe that cash flows from operations and current cash balances, together with available external financing and the extension of existing facilities, will be sufficient to fund operations and capital investments for at leastin the next twelve months.short- and long-term. Should additional funding be required such as to meet the payment obligation of our long term debts when due, we may need to raise the required funds through borrowings or public or private sales of debt or equity securities. Such funding may be obtained through bank borrowings or from additional securities which may be issued from time to time under an effective registration statement; through the issuance of securities in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933; or a combination of one or more of the foregoing. We believe, that in the event of such requirements, we will be able to access the capital markets on terms and in amounts adequate to meet our objectives. However, given the possibility of changes in market conditions or other occurrences, there can be no certainty that such funding will be available in quantities or on terms favorable to us.

On June 27, 2003, we filed a Tender Offer Statement with the SEC and made an offer, which was approved by our stockholders 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 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 at fair market value on the date of grant on or after January 29, 2004, in exchange for the options cancelled. We do not expect to record compensation expense as a result of the exchange.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No.46,No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (FIN 46). Variable interest entities often are created for a single specified purpose, for example, to facilitate securitization, leasing, hedging, research and development, or other transactions or arrangements. Formerly “Consolidation of Certain Special Purpose Entities” in its draft form, thisThis interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No.51,No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” defines what these variable interest entities are and provides guidelines on identifying them and assessing 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 provisionprovisions of this interpretation will apply no later than the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after June 15, 2003. Currently, we do not have any variable interest entities and we do not expect theThe adoption of FIN 46 willdid not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.
In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity” (SFAS 150), which addresses how to classify and measure certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities (or an asset in some circumstances) and equity – as either debt or equity in the balance sheet. The requirements apply to issuers’ classification and measurement of freestanding financial instruments, including those that comprise more than one option or forward contract. SFAS 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning

after June 15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS 150 did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.
Risk Factors
We must achieve market acceptance for our AMD Opteron and AMD Athlon 64 microprocessors, or we will be materially adversely affected. We introduced our AMD Opteron processors in April 2003 and we introduced our AMD Athlon 64 processors in September 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 these processors is subject to risks and uncertainties including market acceptance of our new 64-bit technology and our ability to produce them in a timely manner on new process technologies, including silicon-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.
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. We make substantial investments in research and development of process technologies in an effort to improve the technologies and equipment used to fabricate our products. For example, the successful development and implementation of silicon-on-insulator technology is critical to our AMD Opteron and AMD Athlon 64 microprocessors. In addition, we have an agreement with a partner to develop future generations of logic process technology. However, we cannot be certain that we will be able to develop or obtain or successfully implement leading-edge process technologies needed to fabricate future generations of our products profitably. 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 or that our partnerships will be successful.
We have experienced substantial declinesfluctuations in revenues and increases in operating losses,since 2001, and we may experience additional declines in revenues and increases in operating 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 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 and fourth quarters of 2002 to limit shipments and to accept 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 $318 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2003, and $1.3 billion for 2002 compared to a net loss of $61 million for 2001. Reduced end user demand, underutilization of our manufacturing capacity and other factors could adversely affect our business in the near termfuture 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 experiencinghas been in a severe downturn that is adversely affecting,affected, and may continue to adversely affect, our 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 beenwas 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 currentmost recent downturn, as a result of:

If current conditions do not significantly 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, tied to the personal computer industry. Industry-wide fluctuations in the PC marketplace including the current industry downturn that commenced in 2001 and continued through 2002, have materially adversely affected us in the past and may materially adversely affect us in the future. If we continue to experience a sustained reduction inDepending on the growth rate of PCs sold, sales of our microprocessors may not grow and may even decrease.
-44-
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, such as Dell, Computer 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. 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 $650$192 million during 2003, although the consummationremainder of the proposed joint venture with Fujitsu could result in an increase in this amount.2003. The capital expenditures projected for 2003 include those relating to the continued facilitization of Fab 30 and Fab 25.those relating to FASL LLC. These capital expenditures, together with ongoing operating expenses, willmay be a substantial drain on our cash flow and willmay also decrease our cash balances. 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. In addition, our July 1999 Loan Agreement is scheduled to expire in July 2003. 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 Agreements and other related agreements. These agreements require that we partially fund 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 Fab 30 will be $2.7 billion when fully equipped by the end of 2005. We had invested $2.2 billion as of March 30,

September 28, 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 Agreements, which would permit acceleration of $593$613 million of indebtedness, as well as acceleration bya cross-default ofunder the indentures governing our obligations under our other borrowing arrangements.4.75% Debentures and 4.50% Notes.
OurFASL LLC, our majority owned joint venture with Fujitsu Limited, FASL,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 $1.8 billion when fully equipped. As of March 30, 2003, 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, a decrease from $2.2 billion as a result of cost cutting measures. As of September 28, 2003, approximately $1.7 billion has been funded.
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. We have a substantial amount of debt and we may incur additional debt in the future. At March 30,September 28, 2003, our total debt was $1.9$2.1 billion and stockholders’ equity was $2.4$2.3 billion. In addition, at September 28, 2003, we had up to $200 $125
-45-
million of availability under our July 19992003 Loan Agreement (subject to our borrowing base). We had also guaranteed approximately $697$225 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. Except for our $296 million Dresden intercompany guarantee, none of these guaranteed amounts arewhich is not reflected as debt on our balance sheet.
Our high degree of leverage may:
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 or that we will be able

to extend the July 1999 Loan Agreement.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.
Intense competitionIf 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 integrated circuit industry may materially adversely affect us. The integrated circuit industry is intensely competitive. Products compete on performance, quality, reliability, price, adherence to industry standards, softwareintegration of our and hardware compatibility, marketingFujitsu’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 distribution capability, brand recognitionour assembly and availability.

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

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 discipline 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:
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. In recent years, many of these third-party
-40-
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 AMD OpteronTM and 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. 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
-47-
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 x86 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:
-41-
Our ability to increase microprocessor product revenues and benefit fully from the substantial investments we have made and continue to make related to microprocessors depends on the continuing success of our AMD Athlon XP microprocessors and the success of future generations of microprocessors, most immediately the AMD Opteron processor, and later this year the AMD Athlon 64 processor. If we fail to achieve continued and expanded market acceptance of our microprocessors, we may be materially adversely affected.
We must introduce in a timely manner, and achieve market acceptance for, our AMD Opteron and AMD Athlon 64 microprocessors, or we will be materially adversely affected. We introduced our AMD Opteron processors in April 2003 and we plan to introduce our AMD Athlon 64 processors in September 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 these processors is subject to risks and uncertainties including our ability to produce them in a timely manner on new process technologies, including silicon-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.-48-
If we were to lose Microsoft Corporation’s support for our products, our ability to market our processors would be materially adversely 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 64-bit technology introduced with our AMD Opteron and upcoming AMD Athlon 64 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 formulatingWe formulated the 2002 Restructuring Plan to address the continuing industry-wide weakness in the semiconductor industry by adjusting our cost 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 also expect to reducehave reduced our expenses in the third quarter of 2003 by approximately $100$38 million per quarter bycompared to the secondfourth quarter of 2003.2002. As a result of the 2002 Restructuring Plan, we expect total expenses in 2003 to be reduced by approximately $350$150 million based on current product demand forecasts.compared to 2002. We cannot, however, be sure that the goals of the 2002
-42-
Restructuring Plan will be realized. If we do not execute the 2002 Restructuring Plan well, the ultimate effects of it could prove to be adverse.
Weak market demand for our Flash memory products, theThe loss of a significant customer for our Spansion Flash memory products in the high-end mobile telephone market, or a lack of market acceptance of our MirrorBit™ technology may have a material adverse effect on us. The demand for Flash memory devices has been weak due to the sustained downturn in the communications and networking equipment industries and excess inventories held by our customers. Since the third quarter of last year,2002, our Flash memory product sales grewgrowth was 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 Flash 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
-49-
any substantial difficulty in transitioning our Flash memory products to 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.
We rely on our joint venture with Fujitsu, FASL, and if that joint venture is terminated or amended significantly, we could be materially adversely affected. We continue to rely on our joint venture with Fujitsu, FASL, to manufacture our Flash memory devices. In addition, beginning in 2002, Fab 25 began operating as a foundry to FASL and as of the end of 2002, Fab 25 was devoted entirely to Flash memory device production for FASL.
On March 31, 2003, we and Fujitsu Limited announced the execution of a Memorandum of Understanding to establish a new Flash memory semiconductor joint venture company to be called FASL LLC, which would be based on the integration of our and Fujitsu’s Flash memory businesses. We expect to contribute 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. We expect Fujitsu to contribute its Flash memory business division and its Fujitsu Microelectronics (Malaysia) final assembly and test operations. We and Fujitsu would contribute our existing manufacturing joint venture, FASL, which would become a wholly owned subsidiary of FASL LLC.

We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully implement this proposed transaction or that we will be able to achieve and sustain any benefit from its creation.
OurSpansion memory products are based on the NOR architecture and a significant market shift to the NAND architecture could materially adversely affect us. OurSpansion memory products are based on the Boolean logic-based NOR (Not Or) architecture, and anywhich is typically used for code execution. Any significant shift in the marketplace to products based on the NAND (Not And) architecture, which typically offers greater storage capacity, 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.products. 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 worsensreturns as a result of terrorist activities, military action or otherwise, it could adversely impact our customers’ ability to pay us in a timely manner.
Manufacturing capacity utilization rates may adversely affect us.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 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.
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 Fab 30 to smaller than 130 nanometer process technologies employing silicon-on-insulator technology could have a material adverse effect on us.
-44-
At this time, the most significant risk is underutilization of our manufacturing capacity.capacity constraint.
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. -50-
We cannot be sure that we will not experience manufacturing problems in achieving acceptable yields or 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 researchExternal factors, such as the SARS virus and developmentpotential terrorist attacks and other acts of process technologies will lead to improvements in technologyviolence or war, may materially adversely affect us. Earlier this year the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) virus had an adverse effect upon the Asian economies and equipment used to fabricateaffected demand for our products in Asia. A new outbreak of the virus could have a similar impact on 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.
Terrorist attacks may negatively affect our operations directly or indirectly and such attacks or related 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 involved in armed conflicts that we willcould have sufficient resourcesa further impact on our sales, our supply chain, and our ability to invest in the level of research and development that is required to remain competitive. We make substantial investments in research and development of process technologies in an effort to improve the technologies and equipment used to fabricate our products. For example, the successful development and implementation of silicon-on-insulator technology is criticaldeliver products to our AMD Opteroncustomers. Political and AMD Athlon 64 microprocessors. In addition,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 have an agreement with IBM to develop future generations of logic process technology. However, we cannot be certain that we willmay not be able to developforesee events that could have an adverse effect on our business or obtainyour investment.
More generally, any of these events could cause consumer confidence and spending to decrease or successfully implement leading-edge process technologies neededresult in increased volatility to fabricatethe United States economy and worldwide financial markets. 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 and financial condition, and also 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. 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 profitably. Further, we cannot assure you that we willor to develop and introduce, on a cost-effective and timely basis, new products or enhanced versions of existing products with higher margins, would have sufficient resources to maintain the level of investment in research and development that is required for us to remain competitive.a material adverse effect on us.
If our microprocessors are not compatible with some or all industry-standard software and hardware, we could be materially adversely 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 containas amended, contains restrictive covenants and also requirerequires us to maintain specified financial ratios and
-45-
satisfy other financial condition tests when our net domestic cash is below specified amounts, and the Dresden Loan Agreements imposesimpose restrictive covenants on AMD Saxony, including a prohibition on its ability to pay dividends. The July 2003 FASL Term Loan contains restrictive covenants, including a prohibition on its ability to pay dividends 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
-51-
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 Agreements. TheIn 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 an event ofa default under any of these agreementsthe 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 likely result incause a cross-default under the agreements covering the other borrowings andDresden Loan Agreements. The occurrence of a default under any of these borrowing 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 would 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 Agreements 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 Agreements. If the lenders under any of the credit facilities or the noteholdersnote holders or the trustee under the indentures 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. Nearly all product assembly and final testing of our microprocessor products are performed at our manufacturing facilities in Malaysia Thailand, China 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:
-46-
-52-
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. 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 has 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
-47-
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-user demand which reduced visibility of future demand for our products and resulted in high levels ofWhile we believe inventories in the PC industry supply chain. In some cases, this led to delays in payments for our products. We believe thatchain 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.revenues.
-53-
Our price protection obligations and return rights under specific provisions in our agreements with distributors may adversely affect us. Distributors typically maintain an inventory of our products. In most instances, our agreements with distributors protect their inventory of our products against price reductions, as well as 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. 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 result in a range of consequences including fines, suspension of production, alteration of manufacturing process, cessation of operations or sales, and criminal and civil liabilities. Existing or future regulations could require us to procure expensive pollution abatement or remediation equipment; to modify product designs; or to incur other expenses associated with compliance with environmental regulations. Also, anyAny 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 our business.
-48-
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 economy and could 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.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Reference is made to Part II, Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk, in our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2002. We experienced no significant changesDuring the third quarter of 2003, approximately 21 percent of our net sales were denominated in market riskcurrencies other than the U.S. dollar, primarily the yen, as compared to one percent during the firstthird quarter of 2003. We2002. This was due to the consolidation of FASL LLC. Our foreign exchange risk exposure resulting from these sales is partially mitigated as a result of our yen denominated die purchases. As a result of our euro denominated net asset position at AMD Saxony, we had an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income due to the appreciation of both the euro andduring the second quarter of 2003. In addition, as a result of the our yen denominated net asset position in FASL LLC’s manufacturing subsidiary in Japan, we also had an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income due to the appreciation of the yen during the firstthird quarter of 2003. However, we cannot give any assurance as to the effect that future changes in foreign currency rates will have on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizedrecognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management necessarily wasis required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Also, we have investments in certain unconsolidated entities. As we do not control or manage these entities, our disclosure controls and procedures with respect to such entities are necessarily substantially more limited than those we maintain with respect to our consolidated subsidiaries.
Within 90 days prior toAs of September 28, 2003, the dateend of the quarter covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures.
