NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

of contract and regular personnel. The reductions took place at the Company'sCompany’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 for the write-off of leasehold improvements and other costs associated with restructuring. 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'sCompany’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 theits 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 previously leased systems and three completed systems remaining in inventory. The Company has orders for the three systems and they are scheduled for customer acceptance in 2000 and 2001 and will be included in future Intevac revenues. The Company was able to reverse the portions of the restructuring reserve established to provide for future rents due on the facility and for the closure of the facility. However, since Intevac retained ownership of the two leased systems, the Company established an equivalent reserve to provide for any residual valueobligations at the end of the leases. 7 10 INTEVAC, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Of the three systems in inventory, two were included in 2000 revenues and one is included in 2001 revenues. One of the two leased systems was sold to the lessee in the three months ending September 29, 2001.

The following table displays the activity in the building closure restructuring reserve, established in the third quarter of 1999, and in the RPC operation discontinuance restructuring reserve, established in the fourth quarter of 1999, through December 31, 2000.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended September 29, 2001 and September 30, 2000

Net revenues.Net revenues consist primarily of sales of equipment used to manufacture flat panel displays and thin-film disks for computer hard disk drives, and flat panel displays, related equipment and system components, ("Equipment"electron beam processing equipment (“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"(“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 decreased by 20%24% to $8.4 million for the three-month period ended September 29, 2001 from $11.0 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 20002000. Net revenues from $13.8Equipment declined to $6.5 million for the three-month period ended September 25, 1999. Net revenues29, 2001 from Equipment sales declined to $8.9 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2000 from $11.8 million for the three-month period ended September 25, 1999.2000. The decrease in Equipment sales was primarily the result of a decrease in internationaldomestic sales of disk manufacturing equipment, which was partially offset by an increase in domesticinternational sales of diskflat panel manufacturing equipment and electron beam processing manufacturing equipment. Net revenues from Photonics sales increased by 1%decreased to $1.9 million for the three-month period ended September 29, 2001 from $2.1 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2000.

     International sales decreasedincreased by 72%122% to $5.5 million for the three-month period ended September 29, 2001 from $2.5 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2000 from $9.0 million for the three-month period ended September 25, 1999.2000. The decreaseincrease in international sales was primarily due to a decreasean increase in net revenues from diskflat panel display and electron beam processing manufacturing equipment. International sales constituted 66% of net revenues for the three-month period ended September 29, 2001 and 23% of net revenues for the three-month period ended September 30, 2000 and 65% of net revenues for the three-month period ended September 25, 1999. 2000.

Backlog.The Company'sCompany’s backlog of orders for its products was $42.1 million at September 29, 2001 and $37.1 million at September 30, 2000 and $17.9 million at September 25, 1999.2000. 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 and installation labor and overhead, warranty costs, scrap and costs attributable to contract research and development. Gross margin decreasedincreased to 20% for the three-month period ended September 29, 2001 from 5% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2000 from 11% for the three-month period ended September 25, 1999 as the result of lower gross marginsan increase in both Equipment and Photonics. Equipment gross margins declined to 9% for the three-month period ended September 30, 200032% from 13% for the three-month period ended September 25, 1999.9%, partially offset by a decrease in Photonics gross margins to (22%) from (4%).

     Equipment gross margins were depressed in the third quarter of 2000 as the result of the establishment of a $2.0 million inventory reserve related to the expected cost of updating and reconfiguring slow moving disk 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, 2000 from 7% for the three-month period ended September 25, 1999.were 32%.

     Photonics gross margins were negatively impacted 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 from quarter to quarter based on 9 12 the relative mix of sales derived from prototype products, from fully funded research and development contracts and from cost-shared research and development contracts.

Equipment gross margins increased in the nine-month periodperiods ended September 29, 2001 and 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, whichrespectively, were partially offsetnegatively impacted by the establishment of $2.4 million and $3.1 million of inventory reserves related to slow moving systems inventory. Excluding the effect of this reserve,these reserves, Equipment gross margins were 37% and 34%. Equipment, respectively, in the nine-month periods ended September 29, 2001 and September 30, 2000.

     Photonics gross margins were depressed inincreased slightly to (5%) for 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 in both years have been negatively impacted during the nine-month period ended September 25, 2000 as the resultby a significant portion of an increased proportion of Photonics revenue being derived 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 decreasedincreased by 31%42% to $11.0 million for the nine-month period ended September 29, 2001 from $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%39% and 31%29%, respectively, of net revenue. This reductionincrease was primarily the result of decreasedincreased expense for the development of diskflat panel display manufacturing equipment and rapid thermal processing equipment, and to a lesser extent,photonics products, partially offset by reduced spending for Photonics products and electron beam processingdevelopment of disk manufacturing equipment.

The primary reasons for the declineincrease 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 induring the nine-month periodsperiod ended September 30, 2000 and increased selling, general and administrative salaries in the Equipment business during the nine-month period ended September 25, 1999, respectively.

Restructuring expense (gain).Restructuring gain was ($0.6) million in 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. Innine-month period ended 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.30, 2000. During the threenine months ended April 1,September 30, 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 declined to $2.2 million in the nine-month period ended September 29, 2001 from $2.3 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000, from $2.9 million in the nine-month period ended September 25, 1999.

Certain Factors Which May Affect Future Operating Results

     Our products are complex, constantly evolving, and are often designed and manufactured to individual customer requirements which require additional engineering.

     Intevac’s Equipment Division products have a large number of components and are highly complex. Intevac derives a significant proportionmay 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 may be customized to meet individual customer requirements. Intevac has limited manufacturing capacity and engineering resources and may be unable to complete development, manufacture and shipment of its revenues from salesproducts,

13


or to meet the required technical specifications of equipmentits products in a timely manner. Such delays could lead to manufacturersrescheduling of computer disk drivesorders in backlog, or in extreme situations, to cancellation of orders. In addition, Intevac may incur substantial unanticipated costs early in a product’s life cycle, such as increased engineering, manufacturing, installation and disk drive components. The disk drive industrysupport costs which may not be able to be passed on to the customer. In some 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 reductionscomplex 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. 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 business is subject to rapid technical change. Intevac'sfactors could adversely affect Intevac’s business.
The Equipment 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'sIntevac’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'sIntevac’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'sIntevac’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'sIntevac’s business. Competition is intense

The 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 our competitors are largeprototype products that demonstrate this technology. Revenues have been derived primarily from research and well financed. Intevac experiences intense competitiondevelopment contracts funded by the United States Government and its contractors. The Company continues 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 Equipment Business. For example, Intevac's disk sputteringplanned transition to volume sales of photonics products experience competition worldwide from two principal competitors, Unaxis AG ("Unaxis")to military and Anelva Corporation ("Anelva"), each of which is a large manufacturer of complex vacuum equipment and thin-film disk manufacturing systems and has sold a substantial number of thin-film disk sputtering machines worldwide. Both Unaxis and Anelva have substantially greater financial, technical, marketing, manufacturing and other resources than Intevac.commercial customers. There can be no assurance that Intevac's competitorsthe Company 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 marketssucceed in these activities and develop such enhanced products. Given the lengthy sales cycle and thegenerate 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 customersincreases 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. The sales of our equipment products are dependentbased on substantial capital investment by our customers. 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 systems Intevac sells typically cost between $1 and $5 million each. The purchase of Intevac'sIntevac’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. Because of the prolonged industry downturn, someSome 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, the reduction of the number of disks used per disk drive 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. Others have been acquired by their customers or by their competitors. Accordingly, the potential market 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

14


not able to accurately predict when the industry conditions that have depressed our disk equipment sales will become more favorable, particularly in light of the current widespread weakness of the economy.
Demand for capital equipment is cyclical.

Intevac’s Equipment Division sells capital equipment to capital intensive industries, which sell commodity products such as disks, disk drives and flat panel displays. These industries operate with high fixed costs. When demand for these commodity products exceeds capacity, demand for new capital equipment such as Intevac’s tends to be amplified. When supply of these commodity products exceeds capacity, 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 2001, 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 increasing 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. TrendFocus, a market research firm specializing in the disk drive industry, projects that number of thin-film disks used worldwide will decline in 2001 from 2000 levels . 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.

Our competitors are large and well financed and competition is intense.

     Intevac experiences intense competition in the Equipment Division. For example, Intevac’s equipment products experience competition worldwide from competitors including Anelva Corporation, Applied Films Corporation, Ulvac Japan, Ltd. and Unaxis Holdings, Ltd., each of which have sold substantial numbers of systems worldwide. Anelva, Ulvac and Unaxis all have substantially greater financial, technical, marketing, 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.

$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 spent $9.7 million to repurchase $16.3 million of the Convertible Notes. The $41.2 million of the Convertible Notes that remain outstanding as of September 29, 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.

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
• 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 available on terms acceptable to Intevac, or at all. Any of the foregoing could have an adverse effect upon Intevac’s business.

Our operating results fluctuate significantly.

Over the last eleven quarters Intevac’s operating loss as a percentage of net revenues has fluctuated from approximately (79%) to (8%) of net revenues. Over the same period sales per quarter have fluctuated between $13.8 million and $5.9 million. Intevac anticipates that its sales and operating margins will continue to 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. Intevac 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.

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.

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 will be successful in attracting new employees and retaining its staff. The failure to attract and retain such personnel could have an adverse effect on Intevac’s business.

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. For example, the Company’s facility in California has been subject, in the last year, to electrical blackouts as a consequence of a shortage of available electrical power. These types of disruptions, or other unanticipated disruptions, could adversely impact the Company’s profitability.

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'sIntevac’s business. Intevac's international sales are

     Intevac 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'sIntevac’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'sIntevac’s business. Intevac's

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'sIntevac’s products to be more, or less, price competitive than its competitors'competitors’ products. Currency fluctuations will decrease, or increase, Intevac'sIntevac’s cost structure relative to those of its competitors, which could impact Intevac'sIntevac’s gross margins. Our operating results fluctuate significantly. Over the last eleven quarters Intevac's operating income or loss as a percentage of net revenues has fluctuated from approximately (79%) to 8% of net revenues. Over the same period revenues per quarter have fluctuated between $35.8 million and $5.9 million. Intevac anticipates that its revenues and operating margins will continue to 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 and decreases in valuation over short periods of time. 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'sIntevac’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 itand subsequently closed 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'scompany’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'scompany’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 issuances

of equity securities, acquisition related write-offs and the assumption of debt and contingent liabilities. Any of the above factors could adversely affect Intevac'sIntevac’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 - 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.

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 repurchased $16.3 million of the Convertible Notes. The $41.2 million of the Convertible Notes that remain outstanding 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.

PART II.     OTHER INFORMATION ITEM

Item 1.     LEGAL PROCEEDINGSLegal 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'ssuit’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'spilot’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

     On July 27, 2000 the Connecticut Superior Court. The Connecticut Superior Court'sCourt disallowed the defendants’ motion to dismiss the lawsuit. That decision was appealed to deny the defendants motion is currently under review by the Connecticut Supreme Court. On January 5, 2000,October 30, 2001 the Company's RPC Technologies, Inc. subsidiary was namedConnecticut Supreme Court reversed the Superior Court’s decision and remanded the case to the trial court with the direction to grant the defendants’ motions to dismiss the suit subject to conditions already agreed to by the defendants. These conditions agreed to by the defendants include (1) consenting to jurisdiction in Australia; (2) accepting service of process in connection with an action in Australia; (3) making their personnel and records available for litigation in Australia; (4) waiving any applicable statutes of limitation in Australia up to six months from the date of dismissal of this action or for such other reasonable time as may be required as a condition of dismissing this action; (5) satisfying any judgement that may be entered against them in Australia; and (6) consenting to the reopening of the action in Connecticut in the event the above conditions are not met as to any proper defendant in the action. At this time, Intevac does not know whether the plaintiffs will choose to recommence litigation against the Company in Australia. Any such action could expose Intevac to further risk, plus the expense and uncertainties of defending the matter in a lawsuitdistant foreign jurisdiction.

On June 12, 2001 the Company filed a complaint in United States DistrictSanta Clara County Superior Court, in Texas.State of California, against Intarsia Corporation. The lawsuit wascomplaint relates to Intarsia’s cancellation of an order for a customized sputtering system and seeks damages of at least $3.3 million.
