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

severance, $1$2.5 million had been spent by JanuaryJuly 1, 2000, and the remainder
is expected to be spent over the following two quarters. Of the $3 million
accrued for the write-off of various assets, substantially all was utilized
by April 1, 2000.

spent by the end of the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2000, and $10 million for contract
cancellation charges related to supply and development agreements
previously discontinued, substantially all of which had been spentutilized by
the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2000.

executive bonus for past services for the Company's Chief Executive Officer
in the form of an aircraft with a total cost to the company of
approximately $90 million, the majority of which is not tax deductible.
Approximately half of the total charge is the cost of the aircraft. The
other half represents all other costs and taxes associated with the
purchase.

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

NOTE 11 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
EARTHLINK
On January 4, 2000, the Company agreed to invest $200 million in EarthLink
Network, Inc. (EarthLink), an Internet service provider. The investment is
in EarthLink's Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, which is convertible
by the Company after January 4, 2001, into approximately 4.4 million shares
of EarthLink common stock (subject to appropriate adjustment for stock
splits, dividends, and other similar adjustments). Apple will also receive
a seat on Earthlink's Board of Directors. Concurrent with this investment,
Earthlink and the Company entered into a multi-year agreement to deliver
ISP service to Macintosh users in the United States. Under the terms of the
agreement, the Company will profit from each new Mac customer that
subscribes to EarthLink's ISP service, and EarthLink will become the
default ISP in Apple's Internet Setup Software included with all Macintosh
computers sold in the United States.

SEGMENT OPERATING PERFORMANCE
The Company manages its business primarily on a geographic basis. The Company's
reportable geographic segments include the Americas, Europe, and Japan. The
Americas segment includes both North and South America. The European segment
includes European countries as well as the Middle East and Africa. The Japan
segment includes only Japan. Each geographic operating segment provides similar
hardware and software products and similar services. Further information
regarding the Company's operating segments may be found in this Form 10-Q in the
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at Note 8, "Segment
Information and Geographic Data.Data," and in the 1999 Form 10-K.
AMERICAS
Net sales in the Americas segment during the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2000 increased
$229$140 million or 24%16% compared to the same period in 1999. Macintosh quarterly
unit sales in the Americas increased 35%10% on a year-over-year basis, reflecting
strong growth in iMac unit sales and unit sales of professional products, particularly PowerBooks,
and the recently introduced
iBook.impact on unit sales of iBook which was first shipped at the beginning
of fiscal 2000. These increases in unit sales were partially offset by an 8%
decline in unit sales of iMac ahead of the anticipated product updates at the
beginning of the fourth quarter. During the firstthird quarter of fiscal years 2000, and 1999, the Americas
segment represented approximately 51% and 56% of the Company's total net sales respectively.compared
to 57% during the same quarter in 1999.
For the first nine months of 2000, net sales in the Americas segment increased
$571 million or 22% from the same period in 1999, while Macintosh unit sales
increased 24%. The results experienced by thisthe Americas segment induring the first
quarternine months of

EUROPE
Net sales in the Europe segment increased $174$56 million or 38%19% during the firstthird
quarter of 2000 as compared to the same quarter in 1999, while the segment's
Macintosh unit sales increased 54%33%. LikeGrowth in year-over-year unit sales was
experienced in the Europe segment in all four of the Company's principal product
families. Sequentially, net sales in the Europe segment declined $116 million or
25% during the third quarter of 2000 compared to the second quarter, while
Macintosh unit sales declined 19%. The sequential decline in the Europe's
segment net sales and unit sales is attributable primarily to two factors.
First, like the Americas segment, Europe's results in the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2000
as compared to 1999 are indicative of strong
growththe second quarter reflect a sequential decline in MacintoshiMac unit
sales particularly iMac and iBook, offset byin anticipation of upcoming product updates. Second, the Company has
historically experienced a modest seasonal decline in the average revenue per Macintosh system.net sales in Europe during
its third fiscal quarter.

partially offset by increases in sales of portable products. This shift in mix
towards higher-priced portable products led to the year-over-year increase in
net sales.
GROSS MARGIN
Gross margin for the firstthird quarter of 2000 was 25.9%29.8% compared to 28.2%27.4% for the
same quarter in 1999 and 28.7%28.2% for the fourthsecond quarter of 1999.2000. Gross margin
during the firstthird quarter of 2000 was negativelyfavorably impacted by three primarytwo principal
factors. First, component costs incurred to manufacture the Company's products
were higherlower during the first quarter of 2000
compared to previous quarters. Costs for DRAM was especially high as a result of
worldwide shortages through much of the first quarter of fiscal 2000. Second,
the Company incurred substantially higher air freight costs during the firstthird quarter of 2000 compared to both the fourthprevious
quarter and first quarters of 1999 in order
to get recently introduced products into the sales channel in time for the
holiday selling season. Third, the Company's overall product mix shifted towards
lower-priced, lower margin consumer products. Net sales of iMac and iBook
accounted for 49% of net sales in the first quarter 2000, and only 34% of net
sales in the same quarter in 1999. Second, during the third quarter of
2000 the Company's mix of product sales shifted somewhat away from its consumer
products towards its higher margin professional desktop and portable products.
There can be no assurance targeted gross margin levels will be achieved or
current margins on existing individual products will be maintained. In general,
gross margins and margins on individual products will remain under significant
downward pressure due to a variety of factors, including continued industry wide
global pricing pressures, increased competition, compressed product life cycles,
potential increases in the cost and availability of raw material and outside
manufacturing services, fluctuations in freight costs incurred to deliver the
Company's products to market, and potential changes to the Company's product
mix, including higher unit sales of consumer products with lower average selling
prices and lower gross margins. In response to these downward pressures, the
Company expects it will continue to take pricing actions with respect to its
products. Gross margins could also be affected by the Company's ability to
effectively manage quality problems and warranty costs and to stimulate demand
for certain of its products. The Company's operating strategy and pricing take
into account anticipated changes in foreign currency exchange rates over time;
however, the Company's results of operations can be significantly affected in
the short term by fluctuations in exchange rates.

OPERATING EXPENSES
Selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding special charges,
increased $40$35 million or 14% during the firstthird quarter of 2000 as compared to the
same period in 1999 and declined $9 million or 3% from the second quarter of
2000. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first nine months of
2000 increased $123 million or 16% as compared to the same period in 1999.
However, expressed as a percentresult of growing net sales, selling, general and administrative
expenses fell to 13.6%14% of net sales during the first quarternine months of 2000 compared
to 16.3%16% during the same quarterperiod in 1999. The absolute increaseyear-over-year increases in
selling, general and administrative expenses duringfor both the third quarter and the
first quarter isnine months of 2000 are primarily the result of higher variable selling
and marketing expenses resulting from the year-over-year 37% increase in net sales
and due to higher discretionary spending on marketing and advertising in 2000 as
compared to 1999.
Expenditures for research and development increased 18%21% between the firstthird
quarter of fiscal 2000 and the same quarter in 1999 and increased 20% during the
first nine months of 2000 compared to the same period in 1999. These increases
resulted primarily as a result offrom increased spending in 2000 to support multiple new product
manufacturing rampsdevelopment activities and increased research and development headcount.
SPECIAL CHARGES
During the first quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company initiated restructuring actions
resulting in recognition of an $8 million restructuring charge. This charge was
comprised of $3 million for the write-off of various operating assets and $5
million for employee termination benefitsseverance payments to approximately 95 employees associated with
consolidation of various domestic and international sales and marketing
functions. In December 1999,Of the $5 million accrued for severance, $2.5 million had been spent
by July 1, 2000, and the remainder is expected to be spent over the following
two quarters. Of the $3 million accrued for the write-off of various assets,
substantially all was utilized by April 1, 2000.
During the first quarter of 2000, the Company's Board of Directors approved a
special executive bonus for the Company's Chief Executive Officer for past
services in the form of an aircraft with a total cost to the company of
approximately $90 million, the majority of which is not tax deductible.
Approximately half of the total charge is the cost of the aircraft. The other
half represents all other costs and taxes associated with the purchase.
TOTAL INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME, NET
Interest and other income and expense (net) increased $30$28 million or 300%117% to $40$52
million during the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to the same quarter in 1999
and increased $88 million or 166% for the first nine months of 2000 over the
same period in 1999. This increase isThese increases are attributable primarily attributable to two factors.
First, interest income increased $18 million or 48% between the Company'sthird quarter of
2000 and the third quarter of 1999 as a result of higher cash, cash equivalents,
and short-term investments wereinvestment balances and due to an increase in the overall yield
earned on the Company's investment portfolio resulting from higher by
approximately $1.1 billion or 42% at the endmarket
interest rates and a modest lengthening of the first quarter of fiscal 2000
versus the same balances at the end the first quarter of fiscal 1999. This
resulted in a $15 million or 47% increase in interest income between the first
quarter of 2000 and the first quarter of 1999.portfolio's average maturity.
Second, interest expense declined
$11 million or 69% during the first quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to the same
quarter in 1999 as the result of conversion to common stock of the Company's convertible
subordinated debentures during the third quarter of fiscal 1999.1999, interest expense
declined $6 million or 55% during the third quarter of 2000 compared to the same
quarter in 1999 and decreased $27 million or 64% for the comparable nine month
periods.
During the firstthird quarter of 2000, the Company sold approximately 5.25 million
shares of ARM stock for net proceeds of approximately $136$51 million and a gain
before taxes of $134$50 million. During the first quarter of fiscal 1999,nine months ended July 1, 2000, the
Company has sold approximately 2.938 million shares of ARM stock for net proceeds
of approximately $37$288 million and gains before taxes of approximately $284
million. During the third quarter of 1999, the Company sold approximately 50
million shares of ARM stock for net proceeds of $105 million and a gain before
taxes of $32$101 million. During the nine months ended June 26, 1999, the Company
sold approximately 148 million shares of ARM stock for net proceeds of
approximately $201 million and a gain before taxes of approximately $188.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
As of JanuaryJuly 1, 2000, the Company had deferred tax assets arising from deductible
temporary differences, tax losses, and tax credits of $569$535 million before being
offset against certain deferred tax liabilities for presentation on the
Company's balance sheet. A substantial portion of this asset is realizable based
on the ability to offset existing deferred tax liabilities. As of JanuaryJuly 1, 2000,
a valuation allowance of $53$40 million was recorded against the deferred tax asset
for the benefits of tax losses that may not be realized. The valuation allowance
primarily relates to the operating loss carryforwards acquired from NeXT and to
tax benefits in certain foreign jurisdictions. The Company will continue to
evaluate the realizability of the deferred tax assets quarterly by assessing the
need for and amount of the valuation allowance.
15
The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended January 1,first quarter of 2000 was
approximately 33% and includes the effect of the special executive bonus
accrued during thethat quarter. The effective tax rate during the first quarter
of 2000 without this charge was approximately 25%. The Company's effective
tax rate for the three months ended July 1, 2000, was approximately 26%. The
effective tax rate without the special executive bonus for the nine months
ended July 1, 2000, is also 26%. This effective rate is less than the
statutory federal income tax rate of 35% due primarily to the reversal of a
portion of the previously established valuation allowance for tax loss and
credit carryforwards and certain undistributed foreign earnings for which no
U.S. taxes were provided.
THE COMPANY CURRENTLY BELIEVES THAT ITS EFFECTIVE TAX RATE FOR THE REMAINDER OF
FISCAL 2000 WILL BE APPROXIMATELY 25%. THE COMPANY ANTICIPATES THAT ITS
EFFECTIVE TAX RATE WILL INCREASE IN FISCAL 2001. THE FOREGOING-STATEMENTS ARE
FORWARD LOOKING. THE COMPANY'S ACTUAL RESULTS COULD DIFFER BECAUSE OF SEVERAL
FACTORS, INCLUDING THOSE SET FORTH BELOW IN THE SUBSECTION ENTITLED "FACTORS
THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION." ADDITIONALLY, THE
ACTUAL FUTURE TAX RATE WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTED BY THE AMOUNT OF AND
JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE COMPANY'S FOREIGN PROFITS ARE EARNED.16

As of JanuaryJuly 1, 2000, the Company had approximately $3.7$3.8 billion in cash, cash
equivalents, and short-term investments, an increase of $434$600 million over the
same balances at the end of fiscal 1999. For the first quarter of fiscalnine months ended July 1, 2000,
the Company's primary source of cash was $373$668 million in cash flows from
operating activities. Cash generated by operations was primarily from net income
of $183$616 million and a combined increase in accounts payable and other current
liabilities of $436$392 million partially offset by an increase in accounts
receivable of $211$286 million. In addition to operating cash flow, other
significant cash flow items during the first quarter of fiscalnine months ended July 1, 2000 included
net purchases of short-term investments of $174$582 million, $41$232 million utilized
for the repurchasepurchase of common stock,long-term investments, $76 million for the purchase of
property, plant and equipment, and cash proceeds from the sale of ARM stock of
$136$288 million.
In July 1999, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a plan for the Company
to repurchase up to $500 million of its common stock. This repurchase plan does
not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares or acquire
shares over any specified period of time. During the firstthird quarter of fiscal
2000,
the Companyapproximately 1 million shares of common stock were repurchased 500,000 shares at a cost of
$41approximately $50 million. Since inception of the stock repurchase plan, the
Company has repurchased 1.75a total of 4.5 million shares of its common stock at a
total cost of $116$166 million.
On November 18, 1999, the Company entered into a $100 million revolving credit
agreement with Bank of America. Loans under the agreement pay interest at LIBOR
plus 1%, and the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of 0.2% of the
unused portion of the credit facility. No advances have been made against this
credit facility. This revolving credit agreement is intended to provide the
Company with an additional source of short-term liquidity.
16
The Company believes its balances of cash, cash equivalents, short-term
investments, and available credit facilities will be sufficient to meet its cash
requirements over the next twelve months, including any cash that may be
utilized by its stock repurchase plan. However, given the Company's current
non-investment grade debt ratings, if the Company should need to obtain
short-term borrowings, there can no assurance such borrowings could be obtained
at favorable rates. The inability to obtain such borrowings at favorable rates
could materially adversely affect the Company's results of operations, financial
condition, and liquidity.
OTHER INVESTMENTS
The Company holds significant investments in ARM, Samsung, Akamai and Akamai.EarthLink.
These investments are reflected in the consolidated balancesbalance sheets as
non-current debt and equity investments and have been categorized as
available-for-sale requiring that they be carried at fair value with unrealized
gains and
17
losses, net of taxes, reported in equity as a component of accumulated other
comprehensive income. As of January 1, 2000, the estimatedThe combined fair value of these investments is $2.14 billion.was $1.236
billion and $339 million as of July 1, 2000, and September 25, 1999,
respectively. The Company believes it is likely there will continue to be
significant fluctuations in the fair value of these investments in the future.
Additional information regarding these investment may be found in this Form 10-Q
in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at Note 4,
"Non-Current Debt and Equity Investments."
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
THE INFORMATION PRESENTED BELOW RELATED TO YEAR 2000 (Y2K) COMPLIANCE CONTAINS
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES. THE
COMPANY'S ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER SIGNIFICANTLY FROM THOSE DISCUSSED BELOW AND
ELSEWHERE IN THIS FORM 10-Q REGARDING Y2K COMPLIANCE.
The Year 2000 (Y2K) issue is the result of certain computer hardware, operating
system software and software application programs having been developed using
two digits rather than four to define a year. These problems could result in the
failure of major systems or miscalculations, which could have a material impact
on companies through business interruption or shutdown, financial loss, damage
to reputation, and legal liability to third parties. The Company's worldwide Y2K
strategic plan (Y2K Plan) was described in the Company's 1999 Form 10-K. This
plan was substantially completed prior to the end of the first quarter of fiscal
2000. Through January of 2000, the Company's total incremental external spending
over the life of its Y2K plan was approximately $10 million.
The Company's business operations are heavily dependent on third party corporate
service vendors, materials suppliers, outsourced operations partners,
distributors and others. Through January of 2000, the Company's key third party
suppliers and service providers have not reported any significant Y2K compliance
problems, and the Company's financial results have not been negatively impacted
by Y2K failures of third parties. However, because the Company's continued Y2K
compliance in calendar 2000 is in part dependent on the continued Y2K compliance
of third parties, there can be no assurance that the Company's efforts alone
have resolved all Y2K issues or that key third parties will not experience Y2K
compliance failures as calendar year 2000 progresses.
Through January of 2000, the Company experienced a limited number of minor
malfunctions in its information technology (IT) systems as the result of the
date change. None of these failures had a material impact on the Company's
financial performance. The Company believes it could experience additional
minor malfunctions of its IT systems and Non-IT business systems not
previously detected but that these additional malfunctions will not have a
material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial
condition. As discussed above, the Company's continued Y2K compliance in
calendar 2000 is in part dependent on the continued Y2K compliance of third
parties.
17
FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Company operates in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of
uncertainties, some of which are beyond the Company's control. In addition to
the uncertainties described elsewhere in this report, there are many factors
that will affect the Company's future results and business, which may cause the
actual results to differ from those currently expected. The Company's future
operating results and financial condition are dependent upon the Company's
ability to successfully develop, manufacture, and market technologically
innovative products in order to meet dynamic customer demand patterns. Inherent
in this process are a number of factors that the Company must successfully
manage in order to achieve favorable future operating results and a favorable
financial condition.
Potential risks and uncertainties that could affect the Company's future
operating results and financial condition include, among other things, continued
competitive pressures in the marketplace and the effect of any reaction by the
Company to such competitive pressures, including pricing actions by the Company;
risks associated with international operations, including economic and labor
conditions, regional economic problems, political instability, tax laws, and
currency fluctuations; increasing dependence on third-parties for manufacturing
and other outsourced functions such as logistics; the availability of key
components on terms acceptable to the Company; the continued availability of
certain components and services essential to the Company's business currently
obtained by the Company from sole or limited sources, including PowerPC RISC
microprocessors developed by and obtained from IBM and Motorola and the final
assembly of certain of the Company's products; the Company's ability to supply
products in certain categories; the Company's ability to supply products free of
latent defects or other faults; the Company's ability to make timely delivery to
the marketplace of technological innovations, including its ability to continue
to make timely delivery of planned enhancements to the current Mac OS and timely
delivery of future versions of the Mac OS; the availability of third-party
software for particular applications; the Company's ability to attract, motivate
and retain key employees; the effect of previously undetected Y2K compliance
issues; managing the continuing impact of the European Union's transition to the
Euro as its common legal currency; continuing fluctuations in the fair value of
the Company's non-current debt and equity investments, and the Company's ability
to retain the operational and cost benefits derived from its recently completed
restructuring program.programs.
For a discussion of these and other factors affecting the Company's future
results and financial condition, see "Item 7 -- Management's Discussion and
Analysis -- Factors That May Affect Future Results and Financial Condition" in
the Company's 1999 Form 10-K.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
THE INFORMATION PRESENTED BELOW REGARDING MARKET RISK CONTAINS FORWARD
LOOKINGFORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES. THE COMPANY'S ACTUAL
RESULTS MAY DIFFER SIGNIFICANTLY FROM THOSE DISCUSSED BELOW AND ELSEWHERE IN
THIS FORM 10-Q REGARDING MARKET RISK. THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION SHOULD BE READ IN
CONJUNCTION WITH THE 1999 FORM 10-K AND THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS AND NOTES THERETO INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS FORM 10-Q.
The Company's exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates
primarily to the Company's investments in debt securities and long-term debt
obligations and related derivative financial instruments. The Company places
its investments with high credit quality issuers and, by policy, limits the
amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. The Company's general policy is
to limit the risk of principal loss and ensure the safety of invested funds
by limiting market and credit risk. AllExcluding those investments classified as
non-current debt and equity investments, all highly liquid investments with a
maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase are considered to be
cash equivalents; investments with maturities between three and twelve months
are considered to be short-term investments. As of JanuaryJuly 1, 2000,
substantially all of the Company's investments in debt securities have
maturities less than 12 months.
During the last two years, the Company has entered into interest rate derivative
transactions, including interest rate swaps and floors, with financial
institutions in order to better match the Company's floating-rate interest
income on its cash equivalents and short-term investments with its fixed-rate
interest expense on its long-term debt, and/or to diversify a portion of the
Company's exposure away from fluctuations in short-term U.S. interest rates. The
Company may also enter into interest rate contracts that are intended to reduce
the cost of the interest rate risk management program. The Company does not hold
or transact in such financial instruments for purposes other than risk
management.
18
Overall, the Company is a net receiver of currencies other than the U.S. dollar
and, as such, benefits from a weaker dollar and is adversely affected by a
stronger dollar relative to major currencies worldwide. Accordingly, changes in
exchange rates, and in particular a strengthening of the U.S. dollar, may
negatively affect the Company's net sales and gross margins as expressed in U.S.
dollars.
The Company enters into foreign exchange forward and option contracts with
financial institutions primarily to protect against currency exchange risks
associated with existing assets and liabilities, certain firmly committed
transactions, and probable but not firmly committed transactions. The Company's
foreign exchange risk management policy requires it to hedge a majority of its
existing material foreign exchange transaction exposures. However, the Company
may not hedge certain foreign exchange transaction exposures that are immaterial
either in terms of their minimal U.S. dollar value or in terms of the related
currency's historically high correlation with the U.S. dollar. Foreign exchange
forward contracts are carried at fair value in other current liabilities. The
premium costs of purchased foreign exchange option contracts are recorded in
other current assets and marked to market through earnings.
To ensure the adequacy and effectiveness of the Company's foreign exchange and
interest rate hedge positions, as well as to monitor the risks and opportunities
of the nonhedge portfolios, the Company continually monitors its foreign
exchange forward and option positions, and its interest rate swap, option and
floor positions both on a stand-alone basis and in conjunction with its
underlying foreign currency and interest rate related exposures, respectively,
from both an accounting and an economic perspective. However, given the
effective horizons of the Company's risk management activities and the
anticipatory nature of the exposures intended to hedge, there can be no
assurance the aforementioned programs will offset more than a portion of the
adverse financial impact resulting from unfavorable movements in either foreign
exchange or interest rates. In addition, the timing of the accounting for
recognition of gains and losses related to mark-to-market instruments for any
given period may not coincide with the timing of gains and losses related to the
underlying economic exposures and, therefore, may adversely affect the Company's
operating results and financial position.
For a complete description of the Company's interest rate and foreign currency
related market risks, see the discussion in Part II, Item 7A of the Company's
1999 Form 10-K. There has not been a material change in the Company's exposure
to interest rate and foreign currency risks since the date of the 1999 Form
10-K.
19
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims which are
discussed in the 1999 Form 10-K. The Company is also subject to certain other
legal proceedings and claims which have arisen in the ordinary course of
business and which have not been fully adjudicated. The results of legal
proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty; however, in the opinion of
management, the Company does not have a potential liability related to any legal
proceedings and claims that would have a material adverse effect on its
financial condition or results of operations.
