Intevac, Inc.'s ("Intevac" or the "Company") primary business is the
design, manufacture and sale of complex capital equipment that is used to
manufacture products such as thin-film disks for computer disk drives and flat
panel displays (the "Equipment Business"). The Company also develops highly
sensitive electro-optical devices under government sponsored R&D contracts (the
"Photonics Business").
The Equipment Business is a leading supplier of sputteringthin film deposition
systems used toin the manufacture thin-filmof disks for computer hard disk drives.
Sputtering is a
vacuum deposition processIntevac's systems are used to deposit multiple thin-film layers on a disk.disk
including undercoats, magnetic alloys, protective overcoats and lubricant. The
Equipment Business also realizes revenues from the sales of disk lubrication
equipment, contact stop-start ("CSS") test equipment and flat panel display
("FPD") manufacturing equipment. Spare parts and after-sale service are also
sold to purchasers of the Company's equipment, and sales of components are made
to other manufacturers of vacuum equipment.
The Photonics Business has developed technology that permits highly
sensitive detection of photons in the visible and short wave infrared portions
of the spectrum. This technology when combined with advanced silicon integrated
circuits makes it possible to produce highly sensitive video cameras. This
development work is creating new products for both military and industrial
applications. Products include Intensified Digital Video Sensors, cameras
incorporating those sensors and Laser Illuminated Viewing and Ranging
("LIVAR(R)") systems for positive target identification.
The financial information at September 30, 2000March 31, 2001 and for the three- and
nine-monththree-month periods
ended September 30,March 31, 2001 and April 1, 2000 and September 25, 1999 is unaudited, but includes all

principles generally accepted in the United States of AmericaU.S. GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of
revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results inevitably will
differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the
financial statements.

6.5. RESTRUCTURING
During the third quarter of 1999, the Company adopted an expense reduction
plan that included closing one of the buildings at its Santa Clara facility and
a reduction in force of 7 employees out of the Company's staff of contract and
regular personnel. The reductions took place at the Company's facilities in
Santa Clara, California. The Company incurred a charge of $2,225,000 related to
the expense reduction plan. The significant components of this charge included
$873,000 for future rent due on the building (net of expected sublease income),
$160,000 for costs associated with operating the building through May 2000,
and
$1,164,000$580,000 for the write-off of leasehold improvements and other costs
associated with restructuring.$584,000 for moving out
of the building.
In the fourth quarter of 1999, $97,000 of the restructuring reserve was
reversed due to lower than expected costs on the closure of the facility. During
the first quarter of 2000, the Company vacated the building and negotiated a
lease termination for that space with its landlord, which released the Company
from the obligation to pay any rent after April 30, 2000. As a result, the
Company reversed $615,000 of the restructuring reserve during the first quarter
of 2000. During the third quarter of 2000, the Company completed all activities
related to closing the building. As a result, the Company reversed the remaining
$23,000 of the restructuring reserve during the third quarter
of 2000.
During the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company adopted a plan to
discontinue operations at its RPC Technologies, Inc. electron beam processing
equipment subsidiary and to close the RPC facility in Hayward, California.
Twenty-six employees out of the Company's staff of contract and regular
personnel were terminated as a result. The Company incurred a charge of
$1,639,000 related to this plan. The significant components of this charge
include $679,000 for inventory write-downs which were charged to cost of sales,
$264,000 for fixed asset write-offs, $200,000 for closure of the facility,
$163,000 for employee severance costs, $161,000 for future rent due on the
facility and $152,000 for write-off of intangibles.
In the first quarter of 2000, Intevac sold certain assets of the RPC
Technologies, Inc. subsidiary to Quemex Technology. Proceeds from the sale
included a cash payment, assumption of the Hayward facility lease and the
assumption of certain other liabilities. Excluded from the sale were two

6. INCOME TAXES
The Company's estimated tax rate was 0% for the three-month periods ended
March 31, 2001 and April 1, 2000. The Company did not accrue a tax benefit due
to the inability to realize additional refunds from loss carry-backs. As of
March 31, 2001 the Company's net deferred tax assets totaled $7.7 million. The
Company believes that it is more likely than not that it will earn sufficient
taxable income in the future to realize the value of these net deferred tax
assets. If in the future the Company cannot project with reasonable certainty
that it will earn taxable income sufficient to realize all or part of the value
of these net deferred tax assets, then the Company will expense the value of the
net deferred tax assets not likely to be realized.
7. CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS
During the nine-monththree-month period ending September 30, 2000,March 31, 2001, Intevac sold stock to

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended September 30,March 31, 2001 and April 1, 2000 and September 25, 1999
Net revenues. Net revenues consist primarily of sales of equipment used to
manufacture thin-film disks for computer hard disk drives and flat panel
displays, related equipment and system components ("Equipment") and contract
research and development related to the development of highly sensitive
electro-optical devices under government sponsored R&D contracts and sales of
derivative products ("Photonics"). Net revenues from system sales are recognized
upon customer acceptance. Net revenues from sales of related equipment and
system components are recognized upon product shipment. Contract research and
development revenue is recognized in accordance with contract terms, typically
as costs are incurred. Net revenues decreasedincreased by 20%70% to $11.0$10.0 million for the

to $2.1 million for the three-month periodthree months ended September 30,March 31, 2001 from $1.0 million for
the three months ended April 1, 2000. International sales decreased by 72% to $2.5 million forThe increase in Photonics net revenues was
the result of higher research and development contract expenditures in the
three-month period ended September 30, 2000 from $9.0March 31, 2001.
International sales increased by 247% to $6.9 million for the three-month periodthree months
ended September 25, 1999.March 31, 2001 from $2.0 million for the three months ended April 1, 2000.
The decreaseincrease in international sales was primarily due to a decreasean increase in net revenues from

Backlog. The Company's backlog of orders for its products was $37.1$46.0 million
at September 30, 2000March 31, 2001 and $17.9$29.1 million at September 25, 1999.April 1, 2000. The Company includes in
backlog the value of purchase orders for its products that have scheduled
delivery dates.
Gross margin. Cost of net revenues consists primarily of purchased
materials, fabrication, assembly, test, installation, warranty costs, scrap and
costs attributable to contract research and development. Gross margin decreasedincreased
to 5%34.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from 11.0% for the three
months ended April 1, 2000.
Equipment gross margins increased to 45.0% for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2000March 31, 2001 from 11%25.7% for the three-month period ended September 25, 1999 asApril 1, 2000.
Equipment margins increased primarily due to revenue being dominated by shipment
of technology upgrades and improved factory utilization. Photonics gross margins
increased to (8.1%) during the result of lowerthree months ended March 31, 2001 from (44.2%)

Equipment gross margins declined to 9% for the
three-month period ended
September 30, 2000 from 13% for the three-month period ended September 25, 1999.
Equipment gross margins were depressed in the thirdfirst quarter of 2000 as the
result ofwere unfavorably impacted by the establishment of
a $2.0approximately $0.2 million of inventory reserve related to the
expected cost of updatingreserves and reconfiguring slow moving sputtering systems in
inventory. Excluding the effect of this reserve, Equipment gross margins were
32%. Equipment gross margins were depressed in the third quarter of 1999 as the
result of high costs incurred on the delivery of the first MDP-250K disk
sputtering system and under-absorption of manufacturing overhead.
Photonics gross margins declined to (4%) for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2000by lower revenues resulting
from 7% for the three-month period ended September 25, 1999.
Photonics gross margins were negatively impacted as the result of an increased
proportion of Photonics revenue from cost-sharinga research and development contracts. The Company expects that Photonics gross margins will fluctuate from

Research and development. Research and development expense consists
primarily of prototype materials, salaries and related costs of employees
engaged in ongoing research, design and development activities for disk
manufacturing equipment, flat panel manufacturing equipment and research by the
Photonics Division.

Company funded research and development expense decreasedincreased to $2.7$3.5 million for
the three-month periodthree months ended September 30, 2000March 31, 2001 from $3.3$2.5 million for the three-month periodthree months
ended September 25, 1999,April 1, 2000, representing 25%34.9% and 24%41.8%, respectively, of net revenue.
This decreaseincrease was the result of lowerincreased spending for development of flat panel
manufacturing equipment, partially offset by reduced spending for development of
disk manufacturing equipment, flat panel
manufacturing equipment and Company funded Photonics research and development.equipment.
Research and development expenses do not include costs of $1.9$2.1 million and
$1.8$0.8 million, respectively, for the three-month periods ended September 30,March 31, 2001 and
April 1, 2000
and September 25, 1999 related to contract research and development performed by the
Company's Photonics business. These expenses are included in cost of goods sold.
Research and development expenses also do not include costs of $0.1 million
and $0.4$0.2 million, respectively, forin the three-month periods ended September 30,March 31, 2001
and April 1, 2000, and September 25, 1999, reimbursed under the terms of avarious research and
development cost sharing agreement with the Company's Japanese flat panel
manufacturing equipment development partner. Since 1993 the Company has received
$9.5 million of funds under this cost sharing agreement.agreements.
Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative
expense consists primarily of selling, marketing, customer support, financial,
travel, management, legal and professional services and bad debt expense.services. Domestic sales are made by
the Company's direct sales force, whereas international sales are made by
distributors that typically provide sales, installation, warranty and ongoing
customer support. The Company also has a subsidiary in Singapore to support
customers in Southeast Asia. Through the second quarter of 2000, the Company
marketed its flat panel manufacturing equipment to the Far East through its
Japanese joint venture, IMAT. During the third quarter of 2000 the Company and
its joint venture partner, Matsubo, transferred IMAT's activities and employees
to Matsubo and shut down the operations of IMAT.
Selling, general and administrative expense decreasedincreased to $1.4$1.7 million for
the three-month periodthree months ended September 30, 2000March 31, 2001 from $1.6 million for the three-month periodthree months
ended September 25, 1999,April 1, 2000, representing 13%16.7% and 12%26.9%, respectively, of net revenue.
The primary reason for the declineincrease was a higher level of selling, general and
administrative expense in both the discontinuationEquipment Business and in Photonics. This
higher level of the Company's electron beam processing equipment product
line.expense was driven by an increase in selling, general and
administrative headcount to 33 employees at March 31, 2001 from 29 employees at
April 1, 2000.
Restructuring and other expense. Restructuring expense declined from $2.2was ($0.6) million
during the third quarter of 1999 to ($23) thousand in the third quarter of 2000.
In September 1999 the Company adopted a plan to reduce expenses. The expense
reduction plan included closure of one of the buildings at its Santa Clara
facility and a reduction in force of seven employees at the Company's facilities
in Santa Clara, CA. The Company incurred a restructuring charge of $2.2 million
related to the expense reduction plan. The significant components of this charge
included $0.9 million for rent due on the lease of the building (net of expected
sublease income), $0.1 million for costs associated with operating the building
through May 2000, $0.6 million for the write-off of leasehold improvements and
$0.6 million for moving out of the building. During the third quarter of 2000,
the Company completed the expense reduction plan and reversed the unused $23
thousand balance of the restructuring reserve established during the third
quarter of 1999.
Interest expense. Interest expense consists primarily of interest on the
Company's Convertible Notes, and, to a lesser extent, interest on approximately
$1.9 million of short-term debt related to the purchase of Cathode Technology in
1996. Interest expense was $0.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively, in the
three-month periods ended September 30, 2000 and September 25, 1999. Interest
expense declined due to a reduction in the balance outstanding of the Company's
Convertible Notes due 2004.
Interest income and other, net. Interest income and other, net consists
primarily of interest income on the Company's investments, foreign currency
hedging gains and losses, early payment discounts on the purchase of
inventories, goods and services and the Company's 49% share of the loss incurred
by IMAT.
10
13
Interest income and other, net declined to $0.8 million for the three-month
period ended September 30, 2000 from $1.3 million for the three-month period
ended September 25, 1999. Interest income and other, net for the three months
ended September 30, 2000 included approximately $0.6 million of interest income
and approximately $0.1 million of dividend income on the Preferred Share the
Company owns in 601 California Avenue LLC. Interest income and other, net for
the three months ended September 25, 1999 included approximately $1.0 million of
dividend income on the Preferred Share the Company owns in 601 California Avenue
LLC and approximately $0.6 million of interest income which was partially offset
by approximately $0.3 million of foreign currency hedging losses. The $1.0
million payment from 601 California Avenue LLC was equivalent to approximately
two and one half years of accumulated dividends in arrears. Dividends on the
Preferred Share are now current.
6 1/2% Convertible Subordinated Notes Due 2004. In July 1998, the Company's
Board of Directors approved the repurchase in the open market of up to $19.0
million of its 6 1/2% Convertible Notes. The Company repurchased $12.3 million
of these notes during the three months ended September 25, 1999 from which it
recognized a gain of $2.9 million, net of applicable taxes.
Provision for (benefit from) income taxes. The Company's estimated
effective tax rates for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2000 and
September 25, 1999 were 0% and a benefit rate of 38%, respectively. The Company
did not accrue a tax benefit during the three-month period ended September 30,
2000 due to the inability to realize additional refunds from loss carry-backs.
As of September 30, 2000 the Company's deferred tax assets totaled $7.7 million.
The Company believes that it is more likely than not that it will earn
sufficient taxable income in the future to realize the value of these deferred
tax assets. If in the future the Company determines it is more likely that it
will not earn taxable income in the future sufficient to realize the value of
these deferred tax assets, then the Company will expense the value of the
deferred tax assets not likely to be realized.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 and September 25, 1999
Net revenues. Net revenues decreased by 27% to $26.1 million for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 from $35.8 million for the nine-month
period ended September 25, 1999. Net revenues from Equipment sales declined to
$20.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 from $30.2
million for the nine-month period ended September 25, 1999. The decrease in net
revenues from Equipment was due primarily to a decrease in sales of disk
manufacturing systems, and to a lesser extent flat panel manufacturing systems,
partially offset by increased sales of system upgrades and components. Net
revenues from Photonics decreased to $5.2 million for the nine-month period
ended September 30, 2000 from $5.6 million for the nine-month period ended
September 25, 1999. The decrease in Photonics sales was primarily the result of
a research and development contract that was on hold for most of the three-month period ended April 1, 2000.
International sales decreased by 72% to $6.4 million for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2000 from $23.3 million for the nine-month period
ended September 25, 1999. The decrease in international sales was primarily due
to a decrease in net revenues from disk manufacturing equipment, and to a lesser
extent flat panel manufacturing equipment. International sales constituted 25%
of net revenues for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 and 65% of
net revenues for the nine-month period ended September 25, 1999.
Gross margin. Gross margin was 12% for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2000 as compared to 7% for the nine-month period ended September
25, 1999. Gross margin in the Equipment business increased to 19% for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 as compared to 9% for the nine-month
period ended September 25, 1999.
Equipment gross margins increased in the nine-month period ended September
30, 2000 as the result of a favorable mix of relatively high margin upgrades for
the Company's installed base of MDP-250 systems and a reduced level of
manufacturing overhead, which were partially offset by the establishment of $3.1
million of inventory reserves related to slow moving systems inventory.
Excluding the effect of this reserve, Equipment gross margins were 34%.
Equipment gross margins were depressed in the nine-month period ended September
25, 1999 as the result of the sale of three used disk sputtering systems at
heavily discounted prices,
11
14
establishment of a $0.4 million cost to market reserve on a used MDP-250B disk
sputtering system remaining in inventory, high initial costs to complete the
Company's first production rapid thermal processing system and first MDP-250K
disk sputtering system, payment of $0.5M as part of the settlement of the patent
claim with CVC Products, Inc. and under-absorption of manufacturing overhead.
Photonics gross margins declined to (10%) for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2000 from 10% for the nine-month period ended September 25, 1999.
Photonics gross margins have been negatively impacted during the nine-month
period ended September 25, 2000 as the result of an increased proportion of
Photonics revenue from cost-sharing research and development contracts. The
Company expects that Photonics gross margins will fluctuate based on the
relative mix of sales derived from prototype products, from fully funded
research and development contracts and from cost-shared research and development
contracts.
Research and development. Company funded research and development expense
decreased by 31% to $7.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30,
2000 from $11.1 million for the nine-month period ended September 25, 1999,
representing 29% and 31%, respectively, of net revenue. This reduction was
primarily the result of decreased expense for the development of disk
manufacturing equipment and rapid thermal processing equipment, and to a lesser
extent, reduced spending for Photonics products and electron beam processing
equipment.
Research and development expenses do not include costs of $4.2 million and
$4.7 million, respectively, for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000
and September 25, 1999 related to contract research and development performed by
the Company's Photonics business. These expenses are included in cost of goods
sold.
Research and development expenses also do not include costs of $0.6 million
and $0.7 million, respectively, in the nine-month periods ended September 30,
2000 and September 25, 1999, reimbursed under the terms of a research and
development cost sharing agreement with the Company's Japanese flat panel
manufacturing equipment development partner.
Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative
expense decreased by 47% to $3.0 million for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2000 from $5.6 million for the nine-month period ended September
25, 1999, representing 11% and 16%, respectively, of net revenue. The primary
reasons for the decline were a $1.5 million credit to bad debt expense and the
discontinuation of the Company's electron beam processing equipment product
line.
Restructuring expense (gain). Restructuring expense (gain) was ($0.6)
million and $2.2 million in the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000 and
September 25, 1999, respectively. In March 1999, the Company completed a
reduction in force of approximately 10% of its worldwide staff and incurred
employee severance costs of approximately $115,000. In March 1999, the Company
also negotiated an early termination of its lease commitment in Rocklin,
California, which resulted in a $132,000 reduction of previously expensed
closure costs. This $132,000 reduction in restructuring costs was partially
offset by the $115,000 of restructuring costs related to the Company's March
1999 reduction in force. In September 1999 the Company adopted a plan to reduce
expenses. The expense reduction plan included closure of one of the buildings at
its Santa Clara facility and a reduction in force of seven employees at the
Company's facilities in Santa Clara, CA. The Company incurred a restructuring
charge of $2.2 million related to the expense reduction plan. The significant
components of this charge included $0.9 million for future rent due on the lease
of the building (net of expected sublease income), $0.1 million for costs
associated with operating the building through May 2000 and $1.2 million for the
write-off of leasehold improvements and other costs associated with
restructuring. During the three months ended
April 1, 2000 the Company vacated approximately 47,000 square feet of its Santa
Clara Headquarters and negotiated an early lease termination for the space. As a
result the Company reversed approximately $0.6 million of previously accrued
restructuring expense relating to future rents on the vacated space.
Interest expense. Interest expense declinedconsists primarily of interest on the
Company's convertible notes, and, to $2.3a lesser extent, interest on approximately
$1.9 million of short-term debt related to the purchase of Cathode Technology in
1996. Interest expense was $0.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively, in the
nine-month periodthree-month periods ended September 30, 2000 from $2.9 million in the nine-month
period ended September 25, 1999.March 31, 2001 and April 1, 2000. Interest expense
declined due to a reductionbecause the Cathode Technology debt was retired in the balance outstanding of the Company's Convertible Notes due 2004.

applicable taxes.US Bankruptcy Code.
Provision for (benefit from) income taxes. The Company's estimated
effective tax rates for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000 and
September 25, 1999 were 0% and a benefit rate of 38%, respectively. The Company did not accrue a tax
benefit during the nine-month periodthree-month periods ended September 30,March 31, 2001 and April 1, 2000
due to the inability to realize additional refunds from loss carry-backs.
As of September 30, 2000 the Company's deferred tax assets totaled $7.7 million.
The Company believes that it is more likely than not that it will earn
sufficient taxable income in the future to realize the value of these deferred
tax assets. If in the future the Company determines it is more likely that it
will not earn taxable income in the future sufficient to realize the value of
these deferred tax assets then the Company will expense the value of the

The disk drive industrysupport costs which may not be able to be passed
on to the customer. In certain instances, Intevac is cyclical anddependent upon a sole
supplier or a limited number of suppliers, or has experienced long periodsqualified only a single or
limited number of over-supply and intensely competitive pricing. Since 1997, many of the
manufacturers of hard disk drives and their component suppliers, have reported
substantial losses. These down-cycles reduce the demand for the disk
manufacturing equipment we sell. As a result Intevac has experienced significant
reductionscertain complex components or sub-assemblies
utilized in its quarterly revenues, and has incurred quarterly losses since
the third quarterproducts. Any of 1998. Intevac is not able to accurately predict when the
industry conditions that have depressed our sales will become more favorable.
Rapid increases in areal density are reducing the number of thin-film disks
required per disk drive.
Over the past few years the amount of data that can be stored on a single
thin-film computer disk has been growing at approximately 100% per year.
Although the number of disk drives produced has continued to significantly
increase each year, the increase in areal density has resulted in a reduction in
the number of disks required per disk drive.these factors could adversely affect Intevac's
business.
The result has been that the number
of thin-film disks used worldwide has not grown significantly since 1997.
Without an increase in the number of disks required, Intevac's disk equipment
sales
13
16
are largely limited to upgrades of existing capacity, rather than capacity
expansion. While the rapidly falling cost of storage per gigabyte is leading to
new applications for disk drives beyond the traditional computer market, it is
not clear to what extent the demand from these new applications will offset
further declines in the average number of disks required per disk drive.
Intevac's businessEquipment Division is subject to rapid technical change.
Intevac's ability to remain competitive requires substantial investments in
research and development. The failure to develop, manufacture and market new
systems, or to enhance existing systems, would have an adverse effect on
Intevac's business. In the past, Intevac has experienced delays from time to
time in the introduction of, and technical difficulties with, some of its
systems and enhancements. Intevac's success in developing and selling equipment
depends upon a variety of factors, including accurate prediction of future
customer requirements, technology advances, cost of ownership, introduction of
new products on schedule, cost-effective manufacturing and product performance
in the field. Intevac's new product decisions and development commitments must
anticipate continuously evolving industry requirements significantly in advance
of sales. Any failure to accurately predict customer requirements and to develop
new generations of products to meet those requirements would have an adverse
effect on Intevac's business.
CompetitionThe Photonics Division does not yet generate a significant portion of its
revenues from product sales.
To date the activities of the Photonics Division have concentrated on the
development of its technology and prototype products that demonstrate this
technology. Revenues have been derived primarily from research and development
contracts funded by the United States Government and its contractors. The
Company plans to develop standard photonics products for sale to military and
commercial customers. The Photonics Division will require substantial further
investment in sales and marketing, in product development and in additional
production facilities to support the planned transition to volume sales of
photonics products to military and commercial customers. There can be no
assurance that the Company will succeed in these activities and generate
significant increases in sales of products based on its photonics technology.

The sales of our equipment products are dependent on substantial capital
investment by our customers.
The majority of our Equipment revenues have historically come from the sale
of equipment used to manufacture thin-film disks, and to a lesser extent, from
the sale of equipment used to manufacture flat panel displays. The purchase of
Intevac's systems, along with the purchase of other related equipment and
facilities, requires extremely large capital expenditures by our customers.
These costs are far in excess of the cost of the Intevac systems. The magnitude
of such capital expenditures requires that our customers have access to large
amounts of capital and that they are willing to invest that capital over long
periods of time in order to be able to purchase our equipment. Some of our
customers, particularly those that purchase our disk manufacturing products, may
not be willing, or able, to make the magnitude of capital investment required to
purchase our products.
The disk drive industry has been severely impacted by excess capacity since
1997.
Intevac derives a significant proportion of its revenues from sales of
equipment to manufacturers of computer disk drives and disk drive components.
The disk drive industry has experienced a long period of over-supply and
intensely competitive pricing. Since 1997, many of the manufacturers of hard
disk drives and their component suppliers have reported substantial losses. Some
of these manufacturers have gone out of business. Some of these manufacturers
have been acquired by their competitors. Accordingly, the number of potential
customers for Intevac's disk equipment products has been reduced. As a result of
these factors, Intevac has experienced significant reductions in its quarterly
revenues, and has incurred quarterly losses, since the third quarter of 1998.
Additionally, the financial strength of the industry has deteriorated which
subjects Intevac to increased credit risk on its accounts receivable. Intevac is
intensenot able to accurately predict when the industry conditions that have depressed
our disk equipment sales will become more favorable.
Demand for capital equipment is cyclical.
Intevac's Equipment Division sells capital equipment to capital intensive
industries, which sell commodity products such as disk drives and ourflat panel
displays. These industries operate with high fixed costs. When demand for these
commodity products exceeds capacity, then demand for new capital equipment such
as Intevac's tends to be amplified. When supply of these commodity products
exceeds capacity, then demand for new capital equipment such as Intevac's tends
to be depressed. The cyclical nature of the capital equipment industry means
that in some years, such as 1997, sales of new systems by the Company will be
unusually high, and that in other years, such as 2000, sales of new systems by
the Company will be severely depressed. Failure to anticipate, or respond
quickly to the industry business cycle could have an adverse effect on Intevac's
business.
Rapid increases in areal density are reducing the number of thin-film disks
required per disk drive.
Over the past few years the amount of data that can be stored on a single
thin-film computer disk has been growing at approximately 100% per year.
Although the number of disk drives produced has continued to increase each year,
the growth in areal density has resulted in a reduction in the number of disks
required per disk drive. The result has been that the number of thin-film disks
used worldwide has not grown significantly since 1997. Without an increase in
the number of disks required, Intevac's disk equipment sales are largely limited
to upgrades of existing capacity, rather than capacity expansion. While the
rapidly falling cost of storage per gigabyte is leading to new applications for
disk drives beyond the traditional computer market, it is not clear to what
extent the demand from these new applications will be offset by further declines
in the average number of disks required per disk drive.
Our competitors are large and well financed.financed and competition is intense.
Intevac experiences intense competition in the Equipment Business.Division. For
example, Intevac's disk sputteringequipment products experience competition worldwide from
two principal competitors Unaxis AG ("Unaxis") andincluding, Anelva Corporation, ("Anelva")Applied Films Corporation, Ulvac
Japan, Ltd. and Unaxis Holdings, Ltd., each of which is a large manufacturerhave sold substantial
numbers of complex vacuum equipmentsystems worldwide. Anelva, Ulvac and thin-film disk manufacturing systems and has sold a substantial number of
thin-film disk sputtering machines worldwide. Both Unaxis and Anelvaall have substantially
greater financial, technical, marketing,
11
14
manufacturing and other resources than Intevac. There can be no assurance that
Intevac's competitors will not develop enhancements to, or future generations
of, competitive products that will offer superior price or performance features
or that new competitors will not enter Intevac's markets and develop such
enhanced products.
Given the lengthy sales cycle and the significant investment required to
integrate equipment into the manufacturing process, Intevac believes that once a
manufacturer has selected a particular supplier's equipment for a specific
application, that manufacturer generally relies upon that supplier's equipment
and frequently will continue to purchase any additional equipment for that
application from the same supplier. Accordingly, competition for customers in
the equipment industry is intense, and suppliers of equipment may offer
substantial pricing concessions and incentives to attract new customers or
retain existing customers.
Business interruptions could adversely affect our business.
Intevac's operations are vulnerable to interruption by fire, earthquake,
power loss, telecommunications failure and other events beyond our control. The
salesCompany's facility in California is currently subject to electrical blackouts as
a consequence of our equipment products are dependent on substantial capital
investment by our customers.
The majoritya shortage of our Equipment revenues have historically come fromavailable electrical power. In the saleevent these
blackouts continue or increase in severity, they could disrupt the operations of
equipment used to manufacture thin-film disks and to a lesser extent from the sale of equipment used to manufacture flat panel displays. The systems Intevac
sells typically cost between $1 and $5 million each. The purchase of Intevac's
systems, along with the purchase of other related equipment and facilities,
requires extremely large capital expenditures by our customers. These costs are
far in excess offacility. Additionally, the cost of electricity and natural gas has
increased significantly. Such cost increases and any further cost increases will
impact the Company's profitability.
Competition is intense for employees in northern California.
Intevac's operating results depend in significant part upon its ability to
retain and attract qualified management, engineering, marketing, manufacturing,
customer support, sales and administrative personnel. Competition in northern
California for such personnel is intense. The cost of living in northern
California is also extremely high, which further increases the cost and
difficulty of recruiting new employees. There can be no assurance that Intevac
systems.will be successful in attracting new employees and retaining its staff. The
magnitude offailure to attract and retain such capital
expenditures requires that our customerspersonnel could have access to large amounts of capital
and that they are willing to invest that capital over long periods of time in
order to be able to purchase our equipment. Because of the prolonged industry
downturn, some of our customers may not be willing, or able, to make the
magnitude of capital investment required to purchase our products.an adverse effect on
Intevac's business.
A portion of our sales are to international customers.
Sales and operating activities outside of the United States are subject to
certain inherent risks, including fluctuations in the value of the United States
dollar relative to foreign currencies, tariffs, quotas, taxes and other market
barriers, political and economic instability, restrictions on the export or
import of technology, potentially limited intellectual property protection,
difficulties in staffing and managing international opera-
14
17
tionsoperations and potentially
adverse tax consequences. Intevac earns a significant portion of its revenue
from international sales, and there can be no assurance that any of these
factors will not have an adverse effect on Intevac's business.
Intevac's international sales areIntevac generally made to customers in the Far
East and the company typically quotes and sells its products in US dollars. However, for
some Japanese customers, Intevac quotes and sells its products in Japanese Yen.
Intevac, from time to time, enters into foreign currency contracts in an effort
to reduce the overall risk of currency fluctuations to Intevac's business.
However, there can be no assurance that the offer and sale of products in
foreign denominated currencies, and the related foreign currency hedging
activities will not adversely affect Intevac's business.
Intevac's two principal competitors for disk sputtering equipment are based
in foreign countries and have cost structures based on foreign currencies.
Accordingly, currency fluctuations could cause Intevac's products to be more, or
less, price competitive than its competitors' products. Currency fluctuations will
decrease, or increase, Intevac's cost structure relative to those of its
competitors, which could impact Intevac's gross margins.
Our operating results fluctuate significantly.
Over the last elevennine quarters Intevac's operating income or loss as a percentage of net
revenues has fluctuated from approximately (79%) to 8%(8%) of net revenues. Over
the same period revenuessales per quarter have fluctuated between $35.8$13.8 million and $5.9
million. Intevac anticipates that its revenuessales and operating margins will continue
to
12
15
fluctuate. As a result, period-to-period comparisons of its results of
operations are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as
indications of future performance.
Intevac's stock price is volatile.
Intevac's stock price has experienced both significant increases in
valuation, and significant decreases in valuation, over short periods of time.
FactorsIntevac believes that factors such as announcements of developments related to
Intevac's business, fluctuations in Intevac's operating results, failure to meet
securities analysts' expectations, general conditions in the disk drive and
thin-film media manufacturing industries and the worldwide economy,
announcements of technological innovations, new systems or product enhancements
by Intevac or its competitors, fluctuations in the level of cooperative
development funding, acquisitions, changes in governmental regulations,
developments in patents or other intellectual property rights and changes in
Intevac's relationships with customers and suppliers could cause the price of
Intevac's Common Stock to continue to fluctuate substantially. In addition, in
recent years the stock market in general, and the market for small
capitalization and high technology stocks in particular, has experienced extreme
price fluctuations which have often been unrelated to the operating performance
of affected companies. Any of these factors could adversely affect the market
price of Intevac's Common Stock.
Competition is intense for employees in northern California.
Intevac's operating results depend in significant part upon its ability to
retain and attract qualified management, engineering, marketing, manufacturing,
customer support, sales and administrative personnel. Competition in northern
California for such personnel is intense and there can be no assurance that
Intevac will be successful in attracting and retaining such personnel. The
failure to attract and retain such personnel could have an adverse effect on
Intevac's business.
Intevac routinely evaluates acquisition candidates and other diversification
strategies.
Intevac has completed multiple acquisitions as part of its efforts to grow
and diversify its business. For example, Intevac's business was initially
acquired from Varian Associates in 1991. Additionally, Intevac acquired its
current gravity lubrication, CSS test equipment and rapid thermal processing
product lines in three separate acquisitions. Intevac also acquired its RPC
electron beam processing business in late 1997, although it closedand after two years initiated
plans to close this business
in early 2000.business. Intevac intends to continue to evaluate new
acquisition candidates and diversification strategies. Any acquisition will
involve numerous risks, including difficulties in the assimilation of the
acquired company's employees, operations and products, uncertainties associated
with
15
18 operating in new markets and working with new customers, and the potential
loss of the acquired company's key employees. Additionally, unanticipated
expenses may be incurred relating to the integration of technologies, research
and development, and administrative functions. Any future acquisitions may
result in potentially dilutive issuance of equity securities, acquisition
related write-offs and the assumption of debt and contingent liabilities. Any of
the above factors could adversely affect Intevac's business.
Thin-film disks could be replaced by a new technology.
Intevac believes that thin-film disks will continue to be the dominant
medium for data storage for the foreseeable future. However, it is possible that
competing technologies may at some time reduce the demand for thin-film disks,
which would adversely affect Intevac's disk equipment business.
Our products are complex, constantly evolving, and often manufactured to
individual customer requirements.
Intevac's Equipment products have a large number of components and are
highly complex. Intevac may experience delays and technical and manufacturing
difficulties in future introductions or volume production of new systems or
enhancements. In addition, some of the systems built by Intevac must be
customized to meet individual customer site or operating requirements. Intevac
has limited manufacturing capacity and may be unable to complete the development
or meet the technical specifications of its new systems or enhancements or to
manufacture and ship these systems or enhancements in a timely manner. In
addition, Intevac may incur substantial unanticipated costs early in a product's
life cycle, such as increased cost of materials due to expediting charges, other
purchasing inefficiencies and greater than expected installation and support
costs which cannot be passed on to the customer. In certain instances, Intevac
is dependent upon a sole supplier or a limited number of suppliers, or has
qualified only a single or limited number of suppliers, for certain complex
components or sub-assemblies utilized in its products. Any of these factors
could adversely affect Intevac's business.
Intevac's business is dependent on its intellectual property.
There can be no assurance that:
- any of Intevac's patent applications will be allowed or that any of the
allowed applications will be issued as patents, or
- any patent owned by Intevac will not be invalidated, deemed
unenforceable, circumvented or challenged, or
- the rights granted under our patents will provide competitive advantages
to Intevac, or
- any of Intevac's pending or future patent applications will be issued
with claims of the scope sought by Intevac, if at all, or
- others will not develop similar products, duplicate Intevac's products or
design around the patents owned by Intevac, or
13
16
- foreign patent rights, intellectual property laws or Intevac's agreements
will protect Intevac's intellectual property rights.
Failure to protect Intevac's intellectual property rights could have an
adverse effect upon Intevac's business.
From time to time Intevac has received claims that it is infringing third
parties' intellectual property rights. There can be no assurance that third
parties will not in the future claim infringement by Intevac with respect to
current or future patents, trademarks, or other proprietary rights relating to
Intevac's disk sputtering systems, flat panel manufacturing equipment or other
products. Any present or future claims, with or without merit, could be
time-consuming, result in costly litigation, cause product shipment delays or
require Intevac to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. Such royalty or
licensing agreements, if required, may not be 16
19
available on terms acceptable to
Intevac, or at all. Any of the foregoing could have an adverse effect upon
Intevac's business.
$41 Million of convertible notes are outstanding and will mature in 2004.
In connection with the sale of $57.5 million of its 6 1/2% Convertible
Subordinated Notes Due 2004 (the "Convertible Notes") in February 1997, Intevac
incurred a substantial increase in the ratio of long-term debt to total
capitalization (shareholders' equity plus long-term debt). During 1999 Intevac
repurchasedspent $9.7 million in cash to repurchase $16.3 million of the Convertible Notes.
The $41.2 million of the Convertible Notes that remain outstanding as of March
31, 2001 commit Intevac to substantial principal and interest obligations. The
degree to which Intevac is leveraged could have an adverse effect on Intevac's
ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, acquisitions or
other purposes and could make it more vulnerable to industry downturns and
competitive pressures. Intevac's ability to meet its debt service obligations
will be dependent on Intevac's future performance, which will be subject to
financial, business and other factors affecting the operations of Intevac, many
of which are beyond its control.
A majority of the Common Stock outstanding is controlled by the directors and
executive officers of Intevac.
The present directors and their affiliates and executive officers, in the
aggregate, beneficially own a majority of Intevac's outstanding shares of Common
Stock. As a result, these shareholders, acting together, are able to effectively
control all matters requiring approval by the shareholders of Intevac, including
the election of a majority of the directors and approval of significant
corporate transactions.
Intevac uses hazardous materials.
Intevac is subject to a variety of governmental regulations relating to the
use, storage, discharge, handling, emission, generation, manufacture, treatment
and disposal of toxic or other hazardous substances, chemicals, materials or
waste. Any failure to comply with current or future regulations could result in
substantial civil penalties or criminal fines being imposed on Intevac or its
officers, directors or employees, suspension of production, alteration of its
manufacturing process or cessation of operations. Such regulations could require
Intevac to acquire expensive remediation or abatement equipment or to incur
substantial expenses to comply with environmental regulations. Any failure by
Intevac to properly manage the use, disposal or storage of, or adequately
restrict the release of, hazardous or toxic substances could subject Intevac to
significant liabilitiesliabilities.
A majority of the Common Stock outstanding is controlled by the directors and
executive officers of Intevac.
Based on the shares outstanding on March 31, 2001, the present directors
and their affiliates and executive officers, in the aggregate, beneficially own
a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. As a result, these
shareholders, acting together, are able to effectively control all matters
requiring approval by the shareholders of Intevac, including the election of a
majority of the directors and approval of significant corporate transactions.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On June 12, 1996 two Australian Army Black Hawk Helicopters collided in
midair during nighttime maneuvers. Eighteen Australian servicemen perished and
twelve were injured. The Company was named as a defendant in a lawsuit related
to this crash. The lawsuit was filed in Stamford, Connecticut Superior Court on
June 10, 1999 by Mark Durkin, the administrator of the estates of the deceased
crewmembers, the injured crewmembers and the spouses of the deceased and/or
injured crewmembers. Included in the suit's allegations are assertions that the
crash was caused by defective night vision goggles. The suit names three US
manufacturers of military night vision goggles, of which Intevac was one. The
suit also names the manufacturer of the pilot's helmets, two manufacturers of
night vision system test equipment and the manufacturer of the helicopter. The
suit claims damages for 13 personnel killed in the crash, 5 personnel injured in
the crash and spouses of those killed or injured.
It is known that the Australian Army established a Board of Inquiry to
investigate the accident and that the Board of Inquiry concluded that the
accident was not caused by defective night vision goggles. Preliminary
investigations lead the Company to believe that it has meritorious defenses
against the Durkin suit. However, there can be no assurance that the resolution
of the suit will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
operating results and financial condition.
A motion by the defendants in the
lawsuit to have the suit dismissed on forum non conveniens grounds was denied by
the Connecticut Superior Court. The Connecticut Superior Court's decision to
deny the defendants motion is currently under review by the Connecticut Supreme
Court.
On January 5, 2000, the Company's RPC Technologies, Inc. subsidiary was
named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed in United States District Court in
Texas. The lawsuit was filed by Reita Miller, Executrix of the estate of Thomas
O. Miller, and family members of Mrs. Miller. The suit names RPC Technologies,
Inc., and RPC Industries, Inc. and Intevac, Inc. as defendants. Included in the suits allegations
are assertions that Thomas O. Miller protractedcontracted leukemia and died as the result
of working in and around Broad Beam accelerators manufactured by RPC Industries,
Inc. and installed at Mr. Miller's employer, Tetra Pak. Preliminary investigations lead the Company to believe that it has meritorious
