NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Seagate Technology (“Seagate” or the “Company”) and all its wholly-owned subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany transactions and balances. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by the Company and have not been audited.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to summarize fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows and shareholders’ equity for the periods presented.  Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended July 3, 2009 are included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on August 19, 2009.  The Company believes that the disclosures included in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, when read in conjunction with its Consolidated Financial Statements as of July 3, 2009 and the notes thereto, are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

The results of operations for the three and six months ended January 1, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for any subsequent interim period in the Company’s fiscal year ending July 2, 2010.

The Company operates and reports financial results on a fiscal year of 52 or 53 weeks ending on the Friday closest to June 30. The three and six months ended January 1, 2010 consisted of 13 weeks and 26 weeks, respectively.  The three and six months ended January 2, 2009 consisted of 13 weeks and 27 weeks, respectively. Fiscal year 2010 will be comprised of 52 weeks and will end on July 2, 2010.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The methods, estimates and judgments the Company uses in applying its most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results the Company reports in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The SEC has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, and require the Company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are highly uncertain at the time of estimation. Based on this definition, the Company’s most critical policies include: establishment of sales program accruals, establishment of warranty accruals, valuation of deferred tax assets as well as the valuation of intangibles and goodwill. The Company also has other key accounting policies and accounting estimates relating to uncollectible customer accounts, valuation of inventory, and valuation of share-based payments. The Company believes that these other accounting policies and accounting estimates either do not generally require it to make estimates and judgments that are as difficult or as subjective, or it is less likely that they would have a material impact on the Company’s reported results of operations for a given period.

Since the Company’s fiscal year ended July 3, 2009, there have been no significant changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates.  Please refer to Note 1 of “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” contained in Part II, Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 3, 2009, as filed with the SEC on August 19, 2009, for a discussion of the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates.

Change in Method of Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments

On July 4, 2009, the Company implemented changes to the accounting for its convertible debt instruments on a retrospective basis.  See Note 4 for further details.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2009-14, Software (Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 985) - Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements, a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force.  This guidance modifies the scope of ASC subtopic 965-605, Software-Revenue Recognition to exclude from its requirements (a) non-software components of tangible products and (b) software components of tangible products that are sold, licensed, or leased with tangible products when the software components and non-software components of the tangible product function together to deliver the tangible product’s essential functionality.  This update requires expanded qualitative and quantitative disclosures and is effective for the Company’s first quarter of fiscal year 2011. However, early adoption is allowed.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this update on its consolidated results of operations and financial position.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (ASC Topic 605) - Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force.  This guidance modifies the fair value requirements of ASC subtopic 605-25, Revenue Recognition-Multiple Element Arrangements by allowing the use of the “best estimate of selling price” in addition to vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) and verifiable objective evidence (VOE) (now referred to as TPE standing for third-party evidence) for determining the selling price of a deliverable. A vendor is now required to use its best estimate of the selling price when VSOE or TPE of the selling price cannot be determined. In addition, the residual method of allocating arrangement consideration is no longer permitted.  This update requires expanded qualitative and quantitative disclosures and is effective for the Company’s first quarter of fiscal year 2011. However, early adoption is allowed.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this update on its consolidated results of operations and financial position.

In August 2009, FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC Topic 820) — Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value. This update requires clarification for circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the following techniques: 1) a valuation technique that uses either the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as an asset; or 2) another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles in ASC Topic 820 such as the income and market approach to valuation. The amendments in this update also clarify that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability. This update further clarifies that if the fair value of a liability is determined by reference to a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability, that price would be considered a Level 1 measurement in the fair value hierarchy. Similarly, if the identical liability has a quoted price when traded as an asset in an active market, it is also a Level 1 fair value measurement if no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required. This update was effective for the Company’s second quarter of fiscal year 2010.  The adoption of ASU No. 2009-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial position.

In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC Topic 820) — Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements. The ASU requires new disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements. It also clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for the Company’s third quarter of fiscal year 2010, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements, which are effective for the Company’s first quarter of fiscal year 2012.  Other than requiring additional disclosures, the adoption of this new guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial position.

Of the $82 million accrued restructuring balance at January 1, 2010, $55 million is included in Accrued expenses and $27 million is included in Other non-current liabilities on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.  All restructuring charges are reported in Restructuring and other, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.  The Company’s significant restructuring plans are described below.

AMK Plan. In August 2009, the Company announced that it will close its AMK facility in Singapore by the end of calendar year 2010. The hard drive manufacturing operations will be relocated to other existing Seagate facilities and the Company’s Asia International Headquarters (IHQ) will remain in Singapore. This closure and relocation is part of the Company’s ongoing focus on cost efficiencies in all areas of its business and is intended to facilitate leveraging manufacturing investments across fewer sites. The Company does not expect the closure to meaningfully change production capacity.  The Company currently estimates total restructuring charges of approximately $80 million, all in cash, including approximately $60 million for severance, approximately $10 million for the relocation of manufacturing equipment, and approximately $10 million for other plant closure and relocation costs.  During the six months ended January 1, 2010, the Company accrued total restructuring charges of $38 million related to estimated post-employment benefits for the AMK Plan.  No cash payments were made relating to this plan during the six months ended January 1, 2010.

January and May 2009 Plans. From inception of the Company’s restructuring plans announced in January and May of 2009 through January 1, 2010, the Company has recorded restructuring charges of approximately $167 million primarily related to post employment benefits. These plans are expected to result in total restructuring charges of approximately $170 million. The Company made cash payments of $3 million and $55 million relating to these plans during the three and six months ended January 1, 2010, respectively. Payment of the remaining accrued balance of $6 million is expected to be largely completed by April 2, 2010.

3.  Restructuring and Exit Costs (continued)

Pittsburgh and Milpitas Closures.  The Company announced the closure of its research facility in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and its media manufacturing facility in Milpitas, California in September 2008 and July 2008, respectively. Operations at these facilities ceased during fiscal year 2009. From the inception of these plans through January 1, 2010, the Company has recorded restructuring related charges of approximately $107 million.  These closures are expected to result in total charges of approximately $110 million. The remaining balance of $11 million as of January 1, 2010 is associated with facility lease obligations. Payment of these exit costs are expected to continue through the end of fiscal year 2017.

Maxtor and Other.  The Company recorded certain exit costs aggregating $265 million through January 1, 2010 related to its acquisition of Maxtor. The remaining balance of $27 million, as of January 1, 2010, is primarily associated with the exit of certain facilities. Payment of these exit costs are expected to continue through the end of fiscal year 2016.

4.  Debt and Convertible Notes

Short-term Borrowings

During the six months ended January 1, 2010, the Company entered into $15 million of short-term borrowings.

Convertible Notes

On July 4, 2009, the Company implemented a change in accounting in accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (formerly FSP APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)), for its convertible debt instruments on a retrospective basis to separately account for its convertible debt in two parts, (i) a debt component which was recorded upon acquisition at the estimated fair value of a similar debt instrument without the debt-for-equity conversion feature; and (ii) an equity component that was included in paid-in capital and represents the estimated fair value of the conversion feature at issuance.  The bifurcation of the debt and equity components resulted in a discounted carrying value of the debt component compared to the principal amount.  The discount is accreted to the carrying value of the debt component through interest expense over the expected life of the debt using the effective interest method.

The 6.8% Convertible Senior Notes due April 2010 (the “6.8% Notes”) require semi-annual interest payments payable on April 30 and October 30.  The 6.8% Notes were originally assumed in the business combination with Maxtor Corporation (“Maxtor”) on May 19, 2006 and were recorded as long-term debt at par value of $136 million and a substantial premium of $17 million was recorded to Additional paid-in capital.  The debt component of the 6.8% Notes at acquisition was determined to be $136 million, based on the contractual cash flows discounted at 6.8%, which was the estimated rate of a comparable non-convertible debt instrument as of May 19, 2006.  As a result, implementation of the new requirements had no effect on the accounting for the 6.8% Notes.

The 2.375% Convertible Senior Notes due August 2012 (the “2.375% Notes”) require semi-annual interest payments payable on February 15 and August 15.  The 2.375% Notes were originally assumed in the business combination with Maxtor Corporation (“Maxtor”)  on May 19, 2006 and were recorded as long-term debt at par value of $326 million and a substantial premium of $157 million was recorded to Additional paid-in capital.  The debt component of the 2.375% Notes at acquisition was determined to be $252 million, based on the contractual cash flows discounted at 6.9%, which was the estimated rate of a comparable non-convertible debt instrument as of May 19, 2006.  As a result of implementing the new standard, $74 million was recorded as an increase to Additional paid-in capital and a corresponding debt discount as of the date of acquisition.

4.  Debt and Convertible Notes (continued)

The 2.375% and 6.8% Notes may, subject to certain conditions, be converted into the Company’s common shares based on a conversion rate of 60.2074 and 30.1733 shares, respectively, per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which represents a conversion price of approximately $16.61 and $33.14 per share, respectively.  As of January 1, 2010, the conversion value exceeded the principal value on the 2.375% Notes by approximately $31 million. As of January 1, 2010, the principal value exceeded the conversion value on the 6.8% Notes.

5.  Income Taxes

The income tax benefit recognized for the three and six months ended January 1, 2010 included approximately $16 million and $27 million, respectively, of discrete tax benefits primarily for U.S. federal income tax legislative changes, release of tax reserves for settlements and expiration of certain statutes of limitations, and the reversal of valuation allowance previously recorded for certain non-U.S. deferred tax assets.

The Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009 (WHBA) was enacted on November 6, 2009. This law allows the Company to elect an increased carryback period for net operating losses (NOL’s) incurred in 2008 or 2009 from two years to three, four, or five years at the Company’s option. Approximately $11 million of income tax benefits were recognized as a result of this legislative change in the three months ended January 1, 2010.

The Company’s income tax benefit recorded for the three and six months ended January 1, 2010 differed from the provision (benefit) for income taxes that would be derived by applying a notional U.S. 35% rate to income before income taxes primarily due to the net effect of (i) tax benefits related to tax holiday and tax incentive programs, (ii) a decrease in valuation allowance for certain deferred tax assets, (iii) tax expense related to intercompany transactions, and (iv) tax benefits from U.S. federal income tax legislative changes and the release of certain tax reserves as described above.

During the three months ended January 1, 2010, the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits excluding interest and penalties decreased by $2 million to $116 million. The unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate was $116 million as of January 1, 2010, subject to certain future valuation allowance reversals.  During the 12 months beginning January 2, 2010, the Company expects to reduce its unrecognized tax benefits by approximately $5 million as a result of tax positions being effectively settled and the expiration of certain statutes of limitations.

The income tax provision for the comparative three and six months ended January 2, 2009 included a deferred tax charge of $271 million associated with increased valuation allowance recorded for U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets associated with reductions in the Company’s forecasted U.S. taxable income.  The goodwill impairment charges recorded in the three and six months ended January 2, 2009 resulted in no tax benefits. The three months ended January 2, 2009 also included approximately $34 million of tax expense that otherwise would have been recorded in subsequent quarters of fiscal year 2009 absent a required change in the method for computing the Company’s annual effective tax rate.  As of the close of the period ended January 2, 2009, the Company was forecasting losses in certain jurisdictions, including the U.S., for which tax benefits for the losses could not be recognized. In addition, the Company also recorded income tax expense related to operations in certain of these loss jurisdictions. Pursuant to the accounting guidance provided in ASC 740-270-30-36a, Income Taxes, Interim Reporting (previously FASB Interpretation No. 18, Accounting for Income Taxes in Interim Periods), the Company was required to exclude these loss jurisdictions from its overall estimated annual effective rate calculation and determine a separately computed effective tax rate for each loss jurisdiction.

The income tax provision recorded for the comparative three and six months ended January 2, 2009 differed from the provision (benefit) for income taxes that would be derived by applying a notional U.S. 35% rate to income (loss) before income taxes primarily due to the net effect of (i) goodwill impairment charges with no associated tax benefit, (ii) an increase in the Company’s valuation allowance for certain deferred tax assets, (iii) the tax benefit related to tax holidays and tax incentive programs, (iv) tax expense related to intercompany transactions, and (v) the effect of applying the provisions of ASC 740-270-30-36a as described above.

6. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate, interest rate, and to a lesser extent, equity price risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The Company enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts in order to manage the foreign currency exchange rate risk on forecasted expenses denominated in foreign currencies and to mitigate the remeasurement risk of certain foreign currency denominated liabilities.  The Company’s unrealized net losses on cash flow hedges included in Other comprehensive income (loss) (OCI) as of January 1, 2010 and July 3, 2009, respectively, were not material.

The Company dedesignates its cash flow hedges when the forecasted hedged transactions are realized or it is probable the forecasted hedged transaction will not occur in the initially identified time period. At such time, the associated gains and losses deferred in OCI are reclassified into earnings in the same period that the underlying hedged transaction is included in earnings. Any subsequent changes in the fair value of such derivative instruments are immediately reflected in earnings. As of January 1, 2010, the Company’s existing foreign currency forward exchange contracts are expected to mature within 12 months. The deferred amount currently recorded in OCI and expected to be recognized into earnings is not material.

As of January 1, 2010, the total notional value of the Company’s outstanding foreign currency forward exchange contracts was:

(Dollars in millions)	Contracts Qualifying as Hedges Under ASC 815		Contracts Not Qualifying as Hedges Under ASC 815
Thai baht	$	327	$	185
Singapore dollars	100		17
Euro	14		—
Czech koruna	—		8
British pounds	2		—
	$	443	$	210

The Company is subject to equity market risks due to changes in the fair value of the notional investments selected by its employees as part of its non-qualified deferred compensation (NQDC) plan. In the quarter ended July 3, 2009, the Company entered into a Total Return Swap (TRS) in order to manage the equity market risks associated with the NQDC plan liabilities. The Company pays a floating rate, based on LIBOR plus an interest rate spread, on the notional amount of the TRS. The TRS is designed to substantially offset changes in the NQDC plan liability due to changes in the value of the investment options made by employees. As of January 1, 2010, the notional investments underlying the TRS amounted to $79 million. The contract term of the TRS is one year and is settled on a monthly basis therefore limiting counterparty performance risk. The terms of the TRS require the Company to pledge initial collateral of $18 million to the counterparty for the term of the contract. Additional collateral may be posted contingent on the counterparty’s exposure to the market value of the TRS. As of January 1, 2010, the Company had pledged collateral of $18 million to the counterparty and recorded the cash pledged as restricted cash. The Company did not designate the TRS as a hedge in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (previously SFAS 161, Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities). Rather, the Company records all changes in the fair value of the TRS to earnings to offset the market value changes of the NQDC plan liabilities.

7.  Fair Value

For assets and liabilities recorded at fair value, the Company bases the determination of fair value upon exit price, representing the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.  The Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

As of July 4, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (previously SFAS 157, Fair Value) that apply to non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, thereby applying the fair value disclosure requirements to both the financial and non-financial assets and liabilities of the Company.  The adoption of these provisions did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

ASC 820 establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value whereby inputs used in valuation techniques are assigned a hierarchical level.  The assignment to a level is based on whether the market participant assumptions used in determining fair value are obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) or reflect the Company’s own assumptions of market participant valuation (unobservable inputs).  Categorization within the fair value hierarchy is determined by the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:

Level 1 –	Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 –	Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are inactive; quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; or significant inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly; or
Level 3 –	Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company considers an active market to be one in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis, and views an inactive market as one in which there are few transactions for the asset or liability, the prices are not current, or price quotations vary substantially either over time or among market makers.  Where appropriate, the Company’s or the counterparty’s non-performance risk is considered in determining the fair values of liabilities and assets, respectively.

7.  Fair Value (continued)

Level 1 assets consist of money market funds for which quoted prices are available in an active market.

The Company classifies items in Level 2 if the financial asset or liability is valued using observable inputs. The Company uses observable inputs including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities.  Level 2 assets include: agency bonds, corporate bonds, commercial paper, municipal bonds, and U.S. Treasuries. These debt investments are priced using observable inputs and valuation models which vary by asset class.  The Company uses a pricing service to assist in determining the fair values of all of its cash equivalents and marketable securities.  For the cash equivalents and marketable securities in the Company’s portfolio, multiple pricing sources are generally available.  The pricing service uses inputs from multiple industry standard data providers or other third party sources and various methodologies, such as weighting and models, to determine the appropriate price at the measurement date.  The Company corroborates the prices obtained from the pricing service against other independent sources and, as of January 1, 2010, has not found it necessary to make any adjustments to the prices obtained. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are also classified within Level 2.  The Company’s derivative financial instruments consist of foreign currency forward exchange contracts and a total return swap.  The Company recognizes derivative financial instruments in its consolidated financial statements at fair value in accordance with ASC 815.  The Company determines the fair value of these instruments by considering the estimated amount it would pay or receive to terminate these agreements at the reporting date.

The Company’s Level 3 assets consist of auction rate securities with a par value of approximately $20  million, all of which are collateralized by student loans guaranteed by the Federal Family Education Loan Program. Beginning in the fiscal quarter ended March 28, 2008, these securities failed to settle at auction and have continued to fail through the fiscal quarter ended January 1, 2010. Since there is no active market for these securities, the Company valued them using a pricing model provided by a third party valuation firm. The valuation model is based on the income approach and reflects both observable and significant unobservable inputs.  Since the Company continues to earn interest on its auction rate securities at the maximum contractual rate, there have been no payment defaults with respect to such securities, and they are all collateralized, the Company expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these auction rate securities. The Company does not intend to sell these securities and has concluded it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities before the recovery of their amortized cost basis. As such, the Company believes the impairments totaling $2 million are not other than temporary and therefore have been recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and these securities are classified as Long-term investments in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Given the uncertainty as to when the liquidity issues associated with these securities will improve, these securities were classified as long-term investments.

On September 29, 2009, the Company committed to a plan to sell certain equipment related to certain research activities that have ceased.  The Company expects the sale of these assets to be completed no later than the end of its first quarter of fiscal year 2011.  The Company recognized a charge of $64 million in Impairment of long-lived assets in its Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the six months ended January 1, 2010 in order to write down the carrying amount of these assets to estimated fair value less costs to sell.  The Company used a combination of the market and cost approaches in order to determine the fair value of assets held for sale.  The methodology employed involved applying market derived factors, which represented the discount that a market participant would expect to pay for a used asset based on estimated replacement cost.  The discounts applied to replacement costs, which consider all forms of physical, functional and economic obsolescence, were obtained from discussions with brokers and other market participants.  As the valuation of the Company’s assets held for sale based in part on unobservable inputs, they have been classified as Level 3.  These assets are included in Other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 1, 2010.

As of January 1, 2010, the Company determined that one of its equity investments accounted for under the cost method was other than temporarily impaired.  As such, the Company recognized a charge of $13 million in Other, net in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended January 1, 2010 in order to write down the carrying amount of the investment to estimated fair value.  Since there is no active market for the equity securities of the investee, the Company estimated fair value of the investee by using the market approach to estimate the fair value of its underlying intellectual property assets.

9.  Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recorded approximately $14 million and $25 million of stock-based compensation during the three and six months ended January 1, 2010, respectively.  The Company recorded approximately $26 million and $53 million of stock-based compensation during the three and six months ended January 2, 2009, respectively.

10. Guarantees

Indemnifications of Officers and Directors

The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with the members of its board of directors to indemnify them to the extent permitted by law against any and all liabilities, costs, expenses, amounts paid in settlement and damages incurred by any director as a result of any lawsuit or any judicial, administrative or investigative proceeding brought against such director as a result of their service as a member of the Company’s board of directors.

Intellectual Property Indemnification Obligations

The Company has entered into agreements with customers and suppliers that include limited intellectual property indemnification obligations that are customary in the industry. These guarantees generally require the Company to compensate the other party for certain damages and costs incurred as a result of third party intellectual property claims arising from these transactions. The nature of the intellectual property indemnification obligations prevents the Company from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount it could be required to pay to its customers and suppliers. Historically, the Company has not made any significant indemnification payments under such agreements and no amount has been accrued in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements with respect to these indemnification obligations.

Product Warranty

The Company estimates and accrues product warranty costs at the time revenue is recognized. The Company generally warrants its products for periods from one to five years. The Company uses estimated repair or replacement costs and uses statistical modeling to estimate product return rates in order to determine its warranty obligations. In addition, estimated settlements for customer compensatory claims relating to product quality issues, if any, are accrued as warranty expense. Changes in the Company’s product warranty liability during the three and six months ended January 1, 2010 and January 2, 2009 were as follows:

	For the Three Months Ended						For the Six Months Ended

12.  Legal, Environmental and Other Contingencies

In accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies (previously SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies), the Company assesses the probability of an unfavorable outcome of all its material litigation, claims, or assessments to determine whether a liability had been incurred and whether it is probable that one or more future events will occur confirming the fact of the loss. In the event that an unfavorable outcome is determined to be probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company establishes an accrual for the litigation, claim or assessment. Litigation is inherently uncertain and may result in adverse rulings or decisions. Additionally, the Company may enter into settlements or be subject to judgments that may, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect adverse effect on its results of operations. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially.

Intellectual Property Litigation

Convolve, Inc. and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (“MIT”) v. Seagate Technology LLC, et al —On July 13, 2000, Convolve and MIT filed suit against Compaq Computer Corporation and the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleging infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 4,916,635, “Shaping Command Inputs to Minimize Unwanted Dynamics” (the ‘635 patent) and U.S. Patent No. 5,638,267, “Method and Apparatus for Minimizing Unwanted Dynamics in a Physical System” (the ‘267 patent), misappropriation of trade secrets, breach of contract, tortious interference with contract and fraud relating to Convolve and MIT���s Input Shaping® and Convolve’s Quick and Quiet™ technology. The plaintiffs claimed their technology is incorporated in Seagate’s sound barrier technology, which was publicly announced on June 6, 2000. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, $800 million in compensatory damages and unspecified punitive damages, including willful infringement.

On November 6, 2001, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) issued US Patent No. 6,314,473, “System for Removing Selected Unwanted Frequencies in Accordance with Altered Settings in a User Interface of a Data Storage Device.” (the ‘473 patent”) to Convolve. Convolve filed an amended complaint on January 16, 2002, alleging defendants’ infringement of this patent.

Plaintiffs eventually indicated they would not prosecute the ‘267 patent in this case. On March 29, 2006, the court granted summary judgment for Seagate that Convolve’s fraud, tortious interference with contract, unfair competition and breach of confidence claims are preempted by the California Uniform Trade Secrets Act (CUTSA). The court also held that while Convolve’s claim for breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing is not preempted by the CUTSA, no tort damages are available. The court entered an order on July 14, 2006, that Convolve has no evidence to prove its claims regarding 10 alleged trade secrets, precluding Convolve from proceeding at trial on those claims, and precluding Convolve from alleging violations of the 10 alleged trade secrets by either defendant prior to December 7, 2005.

At Seagate’s request, the USPTO determined that both patents in suit had substantial new issues of patentability and ordered reexamination of the patents. The court denied the Company’s motion to stay the federal case pending patent reexamination. On December 2, 2008, the USPTO issued a reexamination certificate for the ‘473 patent in which nine of the claims asserted in this litigation were determined to be patentable as amended and three asserted claims were confirmed. On January 4, 2010, the USPTO issued a final office action in a second reexamination proceeding on the ‘473 patent, finally rejecting two claims and confirming 10 claims that are asserted in the litigation.. A final office action issued in the ‘635 reexamination in which five asserted claims were confirmed as patentable and three asserted claims were finally rejected. On September 21, 2009, the USPTO ordered another reexamination of the asserted claims of the ‘635 patent on grounds that there are substantial new questions of patentability.  The ‘635 patent expired on September 12, 2008. No trial date has been set in the litigation. The Company believes the claims are without merit, and intends to defend against them vigorously.

12.  Legal, Environmental and Other Contingencies (Continued)

Siemens, AG v. Seagate Technology—On August 23, 2006, Siemens, AG, a German corporation, filed a complaint against Seagate Technology in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California alleging infringement of U.S. Patent No. 5,686,838 (the ‘838 patent) entitled “Magnetoresistive Sensor Having at Least a Layer System and a Plurality of Measuring Contacts Disposed Thereon, and a Method of Producing the Sensor.” The suit alleged that Seagate drives incorporating Giant Magnetic Resistive (GMR) sensors infringe the ‘838 patent. The complaint sought damages in an unstated amount, an accounting, preliminary and permanent injunctions, prejudgment interest, enhanced damages for alleged willful infringement and attorney fees and costs. Siemens amended its complaint to add Tunnel Magnetic Resistive (TMR) sensors to the case. On May 9, 2008, the court entered summary judgment that TMR sensors are not covered by the ‘838 patent, thus eliminating TMR products from the case. On September 23, 2008, the court entered summary judgment that Seagate drives incorporating GMR sensors are covered by the ‘838 patent. Trial began on November 12, 2008, and a jury returned a verdict in favor of Seagate on December 23, 2008, finding the ‘838 patent invalid on grounds of both anticipation and obviousness. Judgment was entered by the court in Seagate’s favor on January 30, 2009, and Siemens’ post-trial motions were all denied. Siemens has appealed to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals.  The Company believes the appeal is without merit and has opposed it.

Siemens, AG v. Seagate Technology (Ireland)—On December 2, 2008, Siemens served Seagate Technology (Ireland) with a writ of summons alleging infringement of European Patent (UK) No. 0 674 769 (the EU ‘769 patent), which is the European counterpart to US Patent No. 5,686,838 upon which Siemens had sued Seagate Technology in the United States. The suit was filed in the High Court of Justice in Northern Ireland, Chancery Division. Siemens alleges that giant magnetoresistive (GMR), tunnel magnetoresistive (TMR), and tunnel giant magnetoresistive (TGMR) products designed and manufactured by Seagate Technology (Ireland) infringe the EU’769 patent. Trial is set for May 2010. The Company believes the claims are without merit and intends to defend against them vigorously.

Qimonda AG v. LSI Corporation, et al.—On December 19, 2008, the US International Trade Commission (ITC) instituted an investigation under section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, at the request of complainant Qimonda AG, naming LSI Corporation and six Seagate Technology entities as respondents. The complaint alleges that LSI and Seagate import products into the US that infringe seven Qimonda patents relating to the design and manufacture of semiconductor integrated chips. The ITC trial was held in June 2009. On October 14, 2009, the Administrative Law Judge issued an Initial Determination finding the Qimonda patents either invalid, not infringed, or both.  The Company expects the investigation to be completed by March 2010. The Company intends to vigorously defend the infringement allegations.

Collins, et al. v. Seagate technology, et al.—On July 15, 2009, Carl Collins and Farzin Davanloo filed a complaint against Seagate Technology, Seagate Technology LLC and 19 other hard drive, computer, and retail companies. The complaint alleges that unspecified hard disk drives and components thereof infringe US patent Nos. 5,411,797 (the ‘797 patent) and 5,478,650 (the ‘650 patent), both entitled “Nanophase Diamond Films.” The case is pending in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division. The complaint seeks unspecified damages and an injunction. The Company filed an answer to the complaint on September 8, 2009, denying all material allegations and asserting affirmative defenses.

Other Matters

The Company is involved in a number of other judicial and administrative proceedings incidental to its business, and the Company may be involved in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of its business in the future. Although occasional adverse decisions or settlements may occur, the Company believes that the final disposition of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations.

On June 1, 2009, Maxtor, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated in Delaware, merged with Seagate Technology U.S. Holdings, Inc. (“STUS”) (the “Merger”), also an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated in Delaware. On June 1, 2009, in connection with the consummation of the Merger, the Company entered into second supplemental indentures (collectively, the “Supplemental Indentures”) with Maxtor, STUS and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, amending and supplementing the indentures (collectively, the “Indentures”)  governing: (i) the 2.375% Notes; (ii) the 6.8% Notes; and (iii) the 5.75% Debentures (together with the 2.375% Notes and the 6.8% Notes, the “Notes”). Pursuant to the Supplemental Indentures, STUS succeeded to, and assumed all of the obligations of, Maxtor under the Indentures and the Notes. As a result, Maxtor was discharged and released from all of its obligations under the Indentures and the Notes and the Company agreed to fully and unconditionally guarantee all of the obligations of STUS under the Indentures and the Notes, including the due and punctual payment of principal and interest.

14.Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to January 1, 2010 through February 1, 2010.

On January 27, 2010, the Board of Directors authorized an Anti-Dilution Share Repurchase Program.  The repurchase program authorizes the Company to repurchase shares of its common shares to offset increases in diluted shares, such as those caused by employee stock plans and convertible debt, used in the determination of diluted net income per share. For the three months ended January 1, 2010, the Company’s total shares used in the determination of diluted net income per share was approximately 520 million shares.  The timing and number of shares to be repurchased by the Company will be dependent on general business and market conditions, cash flows generated by future operations, the price of the Company’s common shares, cash requirements for other investing and financing activities, and maintaining compliance with the Company’s debt covenants. The authority for the Anti-dilution Share Repurchase Program will continue until terminated by the Board of Directors.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF   OPERATIONS

The following is a discussion of the financial condition and results of operations for our fiscal quarter ended January 1, 2010, herein referred to as “the December 2009 quarter.” Unless the context indicates otherwise, as used herein, the terms “we,” “us,” “Seagate,” the “Company” and “our” refer to Seagate Technology, an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands, and its subsidiaries. References to “$” are to United States dollars.

You should read this discussion in conjunction with financial information and related notes included elsewhere in this report. We operate and report financial results on a fiscal year of 52 or 53 weeks ending on the Friday closest to June 30. The quarters ended January 1, 2010, October 2, 2009 and January 2, 2009 were all 13 weeks.  Except as noted, references to any fiscal year mean the twelve-month period ending on the Friday closest to June 30 of that year.

Some of the statements and assumptions included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 or Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, each as amended, including, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies and prospects and estimates of industry growth for the fiscal quarter ending April 2, 2010 and beyond. These statements identify prospective information and include words such as “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “projects” and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are based on information available to us as of the date of this report. Current expectations, forecasts and assumptions involve a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by these forward-looking statements. Such risks, uncertainties and other factors may be beyond our control. In particular, the decline in global economic conditions pose a risk to our operating and financial performance as consumers and businesses have, and may continue to, defer purchases in response to tighter credit and negative financial conditions. Such risks and uncertainties also include the impact of the variable demand, particularly in view of current business and economic conditions; dependence on our ability to successfully qualify, manufacture and sell our disk drive products in increasing volumes on a cost-effective basis and with acceptable quality, particularly our new disk drive products with lower cost structures; the impact of competitive product announcements; our ability to achieve projected cost savings; and our ability to rapidly increase our manufacturing capacity in pace with our competitors if demand for disk drives increases.  We also encourage you to read our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 19, 2009, as it contains information concerning risk, uncertainties and other factors that could cause results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any subsequent date and we undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they were made.

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is provided in addition to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to assist readers in understanding our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.  MD&A is organized as follows:

·Our Company.  Overview of our business.

Our Company

We are the world’s leading provider of hard disk drives based on revenue. We design, manufacture, market and sell hard disk drives. We produce a broad range of disk drive products addressing enterprise applications, where our products are used in enterprise servers, mainframes and workstations; desktop applications, where our products are used in desktop computers; mobile compute applications, where our products are used in notebook computers; and consumer electronics applications, where our products are used in a wide variety of devices such as digital video recorders (DVRs) and other consumer electronic devices that require storage. We also sell our branded storage solutions under both the Seagate and Maxtor brands. In addition to manufacturing and selling disk drives, we provide data storage services for small- to medium-sized businesses, including online backup, data protection and recovery solutions.

Overview of the December 2009 Quarter

We achieved revenue this quarter of $3.03 billion, representing an increase of approximately 14% and 33% from the immediately preceding quarter and the same period in fiscal year 2009, respectively.  We believe the total available market (TAM) for the December 2009 quarter was approximately 160 million units. We observed strong demand during the December 2009 quarter for our high-capacity, high-performance products in the mobile and desktop compute markets. In addition, the enterprise market experienced the second consecutive quarter of double-digit growth over the immediately preceding quarter. The combination of increases in demand across all markets and a stable pricing environment resulted in a gross margin of 30.5% for the December 2009 quarter.

We also continued to strengthen our balance sheet in the December 2009 quarter.  Our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments increased to $2.1 billion as of January 1, 2010 compared to $1.5 billion as of July 3, 2009. As of January 1, 2010, our long-term debt and short-term borrowings totaled $2.0 billion compared to $2.7 billion as of July 3, 2009.  For the December 2009 quarter, we generated operating cash flows of $753 million while repaying approximately $246 million in debt.

The following table sets forth revenue, gross margin, income (loss) from operations, net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share for the periods indicated:

(2)	Income (loss) from operations during the December 2008 quarter was affected by impairment charges of $2.3 billion for goodwill and $3 million for long-lived assets.

Revenue and Gross Margin

Revenue for the December 2009 quarter of $3.03 billion represented an increase of approximately 14% and 33% from the immediately preceding quarter and the same period in fiscal year 2009, respectively.  We shipped 49.9 million units during the quarter, which was 8% and 36% higher than the immediately preceding quarter and the same period in fiscal year 2009, respectively. We believe the overall industry shipped approximately 160 million units in the December 2009 quarter, compared to 152 million units and 122 million units, respectively, in the immediately preceding quarter and the same period in fiscal year 2009.  We experienced a stable pricing environment in the December 2009 quarter, which we believe was primarily due to industry-wide supply constraints.

Gross margin, as a percentage of revenue, increased to approximately 30.5% in the December 2009 quarter, representing an increase of approximately 600 basis points and 1600 basis points as compared to the immediately preceding quarter and the same period in fiscal year 2009, respectively. The increase in gross margin was a result of

38

a stable pricing environment reflecting a constrained supply, strength in the demand for our high capacity, high performance products in the mobile and desktop compute markets, increased demand for enterprise class products and improved factory efficiencies and manufacturing capacity utilization.

Demand Trends for Disk Drives

Desktop.    We believe we maintained our leadership position in the desktop market, shipping 25.1 million units, up approximately 8% from the immediately preceding quarter and up approximately 20% from the same period in fiscal year 2009. We believe the TAM in the desktop market increased approximately 7% and 26% from the immediately preceding quarter and the same period in fiscal year 2009, respectively.  We experienced continued strength in demand for our desktop products with our 500GB per disk technology.

Mobile.    During the December 2009 quarter, we shipped a total of 14.8 million units in the mobile compute market, an increase of approximately 7% and 95% from the immediately preceding quarter and the same period in fiscal year 2009, respectively.  We believe the overall mobile compute market grew approximately 10% and 53% from the immediately preceding quarter and the same period in fiscal year 2009, respectively. We experienced continued strength in demand for our high-capacity, high-performance notebook products with our 250GB per disk technology.

Enterprise.    During the December 2009 quarter, we maintained our market leadership position in the enterprise market, shipping 4.6 million units, representing an increase of approximately 16% and 8% from the immediately preceding quarter and the same period in fiscal year 2009, respectively.  We believe the enterprise market grew approximately 14% and 8% from the immediately preceding quarter and the same period in fiscal year 2009, respectively.

Consumer Electronics.    During the December 2009 quarter, we shipped a total of 5.4 million units in the consumer electronics market, an increase of 5% and 38% from the immediately preceding quarter and the same period in fiscal year 2009, respectively.  The increase in shipments from the immediately preceding quarter was a result of growing demand for 3.5-inch disk drives primarily used in DVR applications.

Industry Constraints.   During the December 2009 quarter, we believe that we and the industry operated near maximum capacity and we expect to continue to operate at or near maximum capacity over the short term.  In addition, we anticipate ongoing component constraints across the supply chain, including internally sourced components, which we believe will constrain disk drive supply relative to demand.  In this environment, we expect to make capacity additions, with the continued objective of maintaining a balance of supply and demand.

Other Significant Events

Debt.   During the December 2009 quarter, we repaid the remaining $200 million outstanding on our amended credit facility.  We also made open market purchases of $46 million of our debt securities, using the remaining escrowed proceeds from the issuance of our 10% Senior Secured Second-Priority Notes due May 2014. Our total debt reduction was $706 million in the first half of fiscal year 2010.

Change of Incorporation.   On January 27, 2010, our Board of Directors approved a proposed transaction that will change the jurisdiction of incorporation of the parent company of Seagate from the Cayman Islands to Ireland. The change of incorporation is subject to approval by our shareholders and will be voted on at shareholder meetings expected to occur in April 2010. If approved, we expect that the change of incorporation will take effect in May 2010. We will remain subject to U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission reporting requirements, the mandates of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the corporate governance rules of NASDAQ. We do not expect the change in incorporation to have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition and we will continue to report our consolidated financial results in U.S. dollars and under U.S. GAAP.

Revenue for the December 2009 quarter increased approximately 14% from the immediately preceding quarter primarily due to an 8% increase in the total number of disk drives shipped, a favorable product mix and a stable pricing environment.

Revenue for the December 2009 quarter increased approximately 33% from the same period in fiscal year 2009 primarily due to a 36% increase in the total number of disk drives shipped.  This increase in disk drives shipped reflects the recovery in the overall TAM to levels existing before the global economic downturn.

Revenue for the first half of fiscal year 2010 increased approximately 7% from the year-ago period, primarily due to a 13% increase in the total number of disk drives shipped.  Demand remained strong throughout the December 2009 quarter in contrast to the year-ago quarter which was affected by the global economic downturn.  Compared to the corresponding year-ago period, the first half of fiscal year 2010 benefitted from the transition to more competitive product offerings yielding higher capacity and higher performing drives.  We experienced a stable pricing environment in the December 2009 quarter, which we believe was primarily due to industry-wide supply constraints.

We maintain various sales programs such as point-of-sale rebates, sales price adjustments and price protection, aimed at increasing customer demand. We exercise judgment in formulating the underlying estimates related to distributor and retail inventory levels, sales program participation and customer claims submittals in determining the provision for such programs.  Due to strong demand and constrained supply for disk drives, sales programs recorded as contra revenue were approximately 5% of our gross revenue for the December 2009 quarter, as compared to 7% and 15% in the immediately preceding quarter and the same period in fiscal year 2009, respectively.

The improvement in gross margin for the December 2009 quarter compared to the immediately preceding quarter was the result of a stable pricing environment, which reflected a constrained supply as we operated near maximum capacity, a strong demand for our high-capacity, high-performance products in the desktop and mobile compute markets, an increased demand for enterprise class products and improving factory efficiencies and manufacturing capacity utilization.

The improvement in gross margin for the December 2009 quarter compared to the same period in fiscal year 2009 and the first half of fiscal year 2010 compared to the same period in fiscal year 2009, was a result of the same factors discussed in the immediately preceding paragraph, in particular, the turnaround from significant underutilization of manufacturing capacity to near maximum utilization.

Product Development Expense.   Product development expense for the December 2009 quarter increased approximately 9% from the immediately preceding quarter.  This increase was primarily due to an $11 million increase for variable performance-based compensation expense.  Additionally, headcount related expenses increased $7 million primarily due to costs of restoring salaries previously subject to salary reductions implemented in February 2009.

Product development expense decreased approximately 3% from the same period in fiscal year 2009, primarily due to restructuring and other cost reduction efforts, which resulted in decreases of $27 million in headcount related expenses.  In addition, the December 2008 quarter included the non-recurrence of accelerated depreciation expense of $14 million related to the closure of our Pittsburgh facility. Partially offsetting these cost reductions were $17 million for variable performance-based compensation expense (compared to none in the same period in fiscal year 2009), $10 million in lower research grants received and a $7 million increase related to deferred compensation liabilities.

Product development expense for the first half of fiscal year 2010 decreased approximately 12% from the same period in fiscal year 2009 primarily due to restructuring and other cost reduction efforts, and the effect of an additional week of compensation expenses in the same period in fiscal year 2009, which included a 14-week September 2008 quarter.  These cost reduction efforts resulted in a $68 million decrease in headcount related expenses.  Additionally, product development expenses decreased by $14 million due to the non-recurrence of accelerated depreciation expense related to the closure of our Pittsburgh facility as well as an $18 million decrease due to the cessation of certain research activities.  These decreases were partially offset by increases of $23 million for variable performance-based compensation expense (compared to none in the same period in fiscal year 2009) and $19 million related to deferred compensation liabilities.

Marketing and Administrative Expenses.   Marketing and administrative expenses for the December 2009 quarter increased approximately 4% from the immediately preceding quarter primarily due to an increase of $2 million for variable performance-based compensation expense and $5 million due to costs of restoring salaries previously subject to salary reductions implemented in February 2009.

Marketing and administrative expenses for the December 2009 quarter decreased approximately 23% from the same period in fiscal year 2009 primarily due to restructuring and other cost reduction efforts, which resulted in decreases of $23 million in headcount related expenses and $13 million in advertising costs.  These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $8 million for variable performance-based compensation expense (compared to none in the same period in fiscal year 2009).

42

Marketing and administrative expenses for the first half of fiscal year 2010 decreased approximately 25% from the same period in fiscal year 2009 primarily due to restructuring and other cost reduction efforts, and the effect of an additional week of compensation expenses in the same period in fiscal year 2009, which included a 14-week September quarter.  These cost reduction efforts resulted in decreases of $61 million in headcount related expenses and $21 million in advertising costs.  Additionally, litigation expenses decreased by $14 million.  These decreases were partially offset by increases of $14 million for variable performance-based compensation expense (compared to none in the same period in fiscal year 2009) and $11 million related to deferred compensation liabilities.

Amortization of Intangibles.    Amortization of intangibles was unchanged from the immediately preceding quarter and decreased approximately 43% when compared to the same period in fiscal year 2009 as certain customer relationship intangibles were fully amortized by the end of the prior fiscal year.

Amortization of intangibles for the first half of fiscal year 2010 decreased approximately 43% from the same period in fiscal year 2009 as certain customer relationship intangibles were fully amortized by the end of the prior fiscal year.

Restructuring and Other, Net.    During the first half of fiscal year 2010, we recorded restructuring and other charges of $46 million mainly comprised of charges related to the AMK restructuring plan announced in August 2009.  We estimate total restructuring charges for the AMK restructuring plan to be approximately $80 million, all in cash, including approximately $60 million for severance, approximately $10 million for the relocation of manufacturing equipment, and approximately $10 million for other plant closure and relocation costs. This closure and relocation, which is expected to be complete by the end of calendar year 2010, is part of our ongoing focus on cost efficiencies in all areas of our business and is intended to facilitate leveraging manufacturing investments across fewer sites.

During the December 2008 quarter, we recorded restructuring and other charges of $78 million primarily related to the workforce reduction announced in January 2009.  The remaining $23 million recorded during the six months ended January 2, 2009 was primarily due to a $10 million adjustment related to revised sub-lease expectations for our previously exited Maxtor facilities and an additional $13 million related to other on-going restructuring activities.

Impairment of Goodwill and Long-lived Assets.    During the September 2009 quarter, we committed to a plan to sell certain equipment related to certain research activities that have ceased.  In connection with this plan, we reclassified these assets as held for sale and recorded an impairment charge of approximately $64 million to adjust the carrying value of these assets to the estimated fair value, less cost to sell.

During the December 2008 quarter, we reduced our near-term and long-term financial projections as a result of a sharp deterioration in the general business environment.  Accordingly, we performed an analysis of the carrying value of our goodwill and long-lived assets, principally intangible assets and property, equipment and leasehold improvements, for impairment. Consequently, we recorded impairment charges of $2.3 billion for goodwill and $3 million for long-lived assets.

(1)   As adjusted due to a required change in the accounting for convertible debt instruments implemented in the first quarter of 2010, applied on a retrospective basis.

The change in Net other expense for the December 2009 quarter from the immediately preceding quarter was primarily due to a $13 million write-down of an equity investment, partially offset by a $4 million decrease in interest expense resulting from the repayment of debt.

The change in Net other expense for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the same period in fiscal year 2009 was primarily due to a $13 million write-down of an equity investment, a $10 million decrease in gains from foreign currency remeasurements, a $9 million increase in interest expense resulting from higher average borrowing costs and a $4 million decrease in interest income as a result of lower yields on cash, cash equivalent and short-term investments.  These changes were partially offset by a $21 million loss related to our deferred compensation plan assets recorded in the December 2008 quarter.

43

The change in Net other expense for the first half of the fiscal year 2010 compared to the same period in fiscal year 2009 was primarily due to a $22 million increase in interest expense resulting from higher average borrowing costs, a $13 million write-down of an equity investment, a $9 million decrease in interest income as a result of lower yields on cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments and an $8 million non-recurring gain recognized on the sale of an equity investment in the first half of fiscal year 2009.  Additionally, Net other expense included a decrease in gains from foreign currency remeasurements of $10 million.  These increases were partially offset by a $45 million loss related to our deferred compensation plan assets recorded in the December 2008 quarter.

Income Taxes

	For the Three Months Ended							For the Six Months Ended
(Dollars in millions)	January 1, 2010			October 2, 2009		January 2, 2009		January 1, 2010			January 2, 2009
Provision for (benefit from) income taxes	$	(6	)	$	1	$	316	$	(5	)	$	300

Our income tax benefit recognized for the December 2009 quarter and for the first half of fiscal year 2010 included approximately $16 million and $27 million, respectively, of discrete tax benefits primarily for U.S. federal income tax legislative changes, release of tax reserves for settlements and expiration of certain statutes of limitations and the reversal of valuation allowance previously recorded for certain non-U.S. deferred tax assets.  Our income tax provision for the September 2009 quarter included approximately $11 million of discrete tax benefits primarily for reversal of valuation allowance previously recorded for certain non-U.S. deferred tax assets and releases of tax reserves resulting from the expiration of certain statutes of limitations.

The Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009 (WHBA) was enacted on November 6, 2009. This law allows us to elect an increased carryback period for net operating losses (NOLs) incurred in 2008 or 2009 from two years to three, four or five years at our option. Approximately $11 million of income tax benefits were recognized as a result of this legislative change in the December 2009 quarter.

Our income tax benefit recorded for the December 2009 quarter and for the first half of fiscal year 2010 differed from the provision (benefit) for income taxes that would be derived by applying a notional U.S. 35% rate to income before income taxes primarily due to the net effect of (i) tax benefits related to tax holiday and tax incentive programs, (ii) a decrease in valuation allowance for certain deferred tax assets, (iii) tax expense related to intercompany transactions, and (iv) tax benefits from U.S. federal income tax legislative changes and the release of certain tax reserves as described above.

During the December 2009 quarter, our unrecognized tax benefits excluding interest and penalties decreased by $2 million to $116 million. The unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate was $116 million as of the December 2009 quarter, subject to certain future valuation allowance reversals. During the 12 months beginning January 2, 2010, we expect to reduce our unrecognized tax benefits by approximately $5 million as a result of tax positions being effectively settled and the expiration of certain statutes of limitations.

Our income tax provision for the comparative December 2008 quarter and for the first half of fiscal year 2009 included a deferred tax charge of $271 million associated with increased valuation allowance recorded for U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets associated with reductions in our forecasted U.S. taxable income.  The goodwill impairment charges recorded in the December 2008 quarter and in the first half of fiscal year 2009 resulted in no tax benefits. The December 2008 quarter also included approximately $34 million of tax expense that otherwise would have been recorded in subsequent quarters of fiscal year 2009 absent a required change in the method for computing our annual effective tax rate.  As of the close of the December 2008 quarter, we were forecasting losses in certain jurisdictions, including the U.S., for which tax benefits for the losses could not be recognized. In addition, we also recorded income tax expense related to operations in certain of these loss jurisdictions. Pursuant to the accounting guidance provided in ASC 740-270-30-36a, Income Taxes, Interim Reporting (previously FASB Interpretation No. 18, Accounting for Income Taxes in Interim Periods), we were required to exclude these loss jurisdictions from our overall estimated annual effective rate calculation and determine a separately computed effective tax rate for each loss jurisdiction.

Our income tax provision recorded for the comparative December 2008 quarter and for the first half of fiscal year 2009 differed from the provision (benefit) for income taxes that would be derived by applying a notional U.S. 35% rate to income (loss) before income taxes primarily due to the net effect of (i) goodwill impairment charges with no associated tax benefit, (ii) an increase in our valuation allowance for certain deferred tax assets, (iii) the tax benefit related to tax holidays and tax incentive programs, (iv) tax expense related to intercompany transactions, and

44

(v) the effect of applying the provisions of ASC 740-270-30-36a, as described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following sections discuss the effects of changes in our balance sheet and cash flows, contractual obligations, and other commitments on our liquidity and capital resources.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Short-term Investments, and Restricted Cash and Investments

(Dollars in millions)	January 1, 2010		July 3, 2009		Change
Cash and cash equivalents	$	1,891	$	1,427	$	464
Short-term investments	201		114		87
Restricted cash and investments	118		508		(390		)
Total	$	2,210	$	2,049	$	161

The increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily a result of cash provided by operating activities of $1,031 million and $42 million proceeds from employee stock option exercises and employee stock purchases, partially offset by the repayment of $350 million of our amended credit facility, capital expenditures of $192 million and a $89 million net increase in short-term investments.

The change in restricted cash and investments from the fiscal year ended July 3, 2009, was primarily due to the repayment of our $300 million floating rate senior notes at maturity and approximately $80 million of open market purchases.  These open market purchases were primarily for the repurchase of our 6.8% Convertible Senior Notes due April 2010 and 6.375% Senior Notes due October 2011.

We are not aware of any downgrades, losses or other significant deterioration in the fair value of our cash equivalents or short-term investments and, accordingly, we do not believe the fair value of our short-term investments has significantly changed from the values reported as of January 1, 2010.

The following table summarizes our statement of cash flows for the periods indicated:

	For the Six Months Ended
(Dollars in millions)	January 1, 2010			January 2, 2009
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	1,031		$	392
Investing activities	$	(273	)	$	(475	)
Financing activities	$	(294	)	$	254
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	464		$	171

Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended January 1, 2010 was $1,031 million and includes the effects of net income adjusted for non-cash items including depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, impairment of long-lived assets, and:

·an increase of $300 million in accounts receivable due to an increase in revenue;

·an increase of $229 million in accounts payable mainly due to increased vendor purchases related to increased demand; and

·an increase of $58 million in inventories due to an increase in production requirements.

Cash Used in Investing Activities

During the six months ended January 1, 2010, we used $273 million for net cash investing activities, which was primarily attributable to expenditures for property, equipment and leasehold improvements of approximately $192 million.

Throughout calendar year 2010, we anticipate ongoing component constraints across the supply chain,

45

including internally sourced components, which we believe will constrain disk drive supply relative to demand. In this environment, we expect to make capacity additions, with the continued objective of maintaining a balance of supply and demand.  This objective will allow us to optimize our production volumes and product mix to meet customer needs. Accordingly, we have raised our anticipated fiscal year 2010 capital spending to approximately $750 million.  We will continue to evaluate business requirements and raise or lower our capital investments to the appropriate levels.

Cash Used in Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities of $294 million for the six months ended January 1, 2010 was primarily attributable to the full repayment of our $350 million amended credit facility, offset by approximately $42 million in cash from employee stock option exercises and employee stock purchases.

Liquidity Sources, Cash Requirements and Commitments

Our primary sources of liquidity as of January 1, 2010, consisted of: (1) approximately $2.1 billion in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, (2) cash we expect to generate from operations and (3) a $350 million credit facility, which the full amount is available for borrowing and is committed until 2011. We also had restricted cash and investments that primarily included $83 million available for the payment of employee deferred compensation liabilities under our non-qualified deferred compensation plan.

Our liquidity requirements are primarily to meet our working capital, research and development and capital expenditure needs, and to fund scheduled payments of principal and interest on our indebtedness.  Our ability to fund these requirements will depend on our future cash flows, which are determined by future operating performance and therefore, subject to prevailing global macroeconomic conditions and financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. We believe that our sources of cash will be sufficient to fund our operations and meet our cash requirements for at least the next 12 months. Included in the current portion of long-term debt on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 1, 2010 are $77 million of 6.8% Convertible Senior Notes due April 30, 2010.

In the six months ended January 1, 2010, we repaid the $350 million previously drawn on our credit facility.  In addition, our $300 million floating rate senior notes were due and paid on October 1, 2009.  We also repurchased approximately $80 million of various debt issues on the open market to reduce our outstanding debt obligations.

As of January 1, 2010, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under our credit facility. Based on our current outlook, we expect to be in compliance with these covenants over the next 12 months.

On January 27, 2010, our Board of Directors authorized an Anti-Dilution Share Repurchase Program.  The repurchase program authorizes us to repurchase shares of our common shares to offset increases in diluted shares, such as those caused by employee stock plans and convertible debt, used in the determination of diluted net income per share. For the three months ended January 1, 2010, our total shares used in the determination of diluted net income per share was approximately 520 million shares.  The timing and number of shares to be repurchased by us will be dependent on general business and market conditions, cash flows generated by future operations, the price of our common shares, cash requirements for other investing and financing activities, and maintaining compliance with our debt covenants. The authority for the Anti-dilution Share Repurchase Program will continue until terminated by our Board of Directors.

We continue to evaluate  and manage the retirement and replacement of existing debt and associated obligations, including the issuance of new debt securities, exchanging existing debt securities for other debt securities and retiring debt pursuant to privately negotiated transactions, open market purchases or otherwise. In addition, we may selectively pursue strategic alliances, acquisitions and investments, which may require additional capital.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Our contractual cash obligations and commitments as of January 1, 2010 have been summarized in the table below:

			Fiscal Year(s)
(Dollars in millions)	Total		2010		2011-2012		2013-2014		Thereafter

(1)Included in debt for fiscal year 2013 is the principal amount of $326 million related to our 2.375% Notes which is payable upon the conversion of the 2.375% Notes. The 2.375% Notes are currently nonconvertible as our shares traded below 110% of the conversion price for at least 20 consecutive trading days of the last 30 trading days of the first quarter of fiscal year 2010. As a result, the 2.375% Notes are classified as Long-term debt on our Consolidated Balance Sheet at January 1, 2010.

(2)Includes total future minimum rent expense under non-cancelable leases for both occupied and abandoned facilities (rent expense is shown net of sublease income).

(3)Purchase obligations are defined as contractual obligations for purchase of goods or services, which are enforceable and legally binding on us, and that specify all significant terms.

As of January 1, 2010, we had a liability for unrecognized tax benefits and an accrual for the payment of related interest totaling $63 million, none of which is expected to be paid within twelve months. We are unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of when cash settlement with a taxing authority will occur.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of January 1, 2010, we did not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements (as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K).

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of such statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. Our estimates are based on historical experience and other assumptions that we consider to be appropriate in the circumstances. However, actual future results may vary from our estimates.

Since our fiscal year ended July 3, 2009, there have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates.  Please refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 3, 2009, as filed with the SEC on August 19, 2009, for a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates.

We have updated the following critical accounting policies to describe current activity.

Establishment of Sales Program Accruals.    We establish certain distributor and OEM sales programs aimed at increasing customer demand. For the distribution channel, these programs typically involve rebates related to a distributor’s level of sales, order size, advertising or point of sale activity and price protection adjustments. For OEM

47

sales, rebates are typically based on an OEM customer’s volume of purchases from Seagate or other agreed upon rebate programs. We provide for these obligations at the time that revenue is recorded based on estimated requirements. We estimate these contra-revenue rebates and adjustments based on various factors, including price reductions during the period reported, estimated future price erosion, customer orders, distributor sell-through and inventory levels, program participation, customer claim submittals and sales returns. Our estimates reflect contractual arrangements but also our judgment relating to variables such as customer claim rates and attainment of program goals, and inventory and sell-through levels reported by our distribution customers.

While we believe we have sufficient experience and knowledge of the market and customer buying patterns to reasonably estimate such rebates and adjustments, actual market conditions or customer behavior could differ from our expectations. As a result, actual payments under these programs, which may spread over several months after the related sale, may vary from the amount accrued. Accordingly, revenues and margins in the period in which the adjustment occurs may be affected. For example, if the pricing environment is more competitive than we anticipated, accruals for forward price protection rebates may be inadequate. In periods when pricing is less competitive, accruals for forward price protection rebates may exceed actual payments.  In addition, during periods in which our distributors’ inventories of our products are at higher than historical levels, our contra-revenue estimates are subject to a greater degree of subjectivity and the potential for actual results to vary is accordingly higher. Currently, our distributors’ inventories are at the low end of the historical range.

Significant actual variations in any of the factors upon which we base our contra-revenue estimates could have a material effect on our operating results. For fiscal years 2007 through 2009, total sales programs have ranged from 9% to 12% of gross revenues. In the first half of fiscal year 2010, sales programs dropped to approximately 6% of gross revenue, reflecting a more stable pricing environment resulting primarily from constrained industry supply.  This better than anticipated pricing environment resulted in a 0.8% favorable adjustment to revenue as estimated contra-revenue rebates (such as forward price protection) accrued in prior periods for the sell through of channel inventory were higher than actual payments.  Adjustments to revenues due to under or over accruals for sales programs related to revenues reported in prior quarterly periods have averaged 0.5% of quarterly gross revenue for fiscal years 2007 through 2009. Any future shifts in the industry supply-demand balance as well as other factors may result in a return to a more competitive pricing environment and may cause sales programs as a percentage of gross revenue to increase from the current or historical levels. If such rebates and incentives trend upwards, revenues and margins will be reduced.

Establishment of Warranty Accruals.    We estimate probable product warranty costs at the time revenue is recognized. We generally warrant our products for a period of one to five years. Our warranty provision considers estimated product failure rates and trends (including the timing of product returns during the warranty periods), estimated repair or replacement costs and estimated costs for customer compensatory claims related to product quality issues, if any. We use a statistical model to help with our estimates and we exercise considerable judgment in determining the underlying estimates. Should actual experience in any future period differ significantly from our estimates, or should the rate of future product technological advancements fail to keep pace with the past, our future results of operations could be materially affected. Our judgment is subject to a greater degree of subjectivity with respect to newly introduced products and legacy Maxtor designed products because of limited experience with those products upon which to base our warranty estimates.

The actual results with regard to warranty expenditures could have a material effect on our results of operations if the actual rate of unit failure, the cost to repair a unit, or the actual cost required to satisfy customer compensatory claims are greater or less than that which we have used in estimating the warranty accrual. Since we typically outsource our warranty repairs, our repair cost is subject to periodic negotiations with vendors and may vary from our estimates. We also exercise judgment in estimating our ability to sell certain repaired disk drives. To the extent such sales fall below or exceed our forecast, warranty cost will respectively,  be adversely or favorably impacted.

Our warranty cost has ranged from approximately 2% to 2.5% of revenue during fiscal years 2007 through 2009. We review our warranty accrual quarterly for products shipped in prior periods and which are still under warranty. Any changes in the estimates underlying the accrual may result in adjustments that impact the current period gross margins and income. Since fiscal year 2007, changes in estimates of prior warranty accruals have approximated 0.5% or less of revenue. Changes in anticipated failure rates of specific products and significant changes in repair or replacement costs have historically been the major reasons for significant changes in prior estimates.   In the first half of fiscal year 2010, the cost of new warranties issued (exclusive of the impact of re-estimates of prior warranty liabilities) were within the historical range and amounted to approximately 2.1% of revenue.  During the first half of fiscal 2010,  total warranty cost decreased to 1.4% of revenue due to a favorable re-estimate of pre-existing liabilities related to a change to a lower cost repair vendor and other efforts to better

48

leverage our warranty service infrastructure.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The information in this section should be read in connection with the information on financial market risk in Part II, Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 3, 2009.

We have exposure to market risks due to the volatility of interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and equity and bond markets. A portion of these risks are hedged, but fluctuations could impact our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. Additionally, we have exposure to downgrades in the credit ratings of our counterparties as well as exposure related to our credit rating changes.

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment portfolio and our credit facility. At January 1, 2010, with the exception of our auction rate securities, we had no marketable securities that had been in a continuous unrealized loss position for a period greater than 12 months and determined that no marketable securities were other-than-temporarily impaired. We currently do not use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio.

We have both fixed and variable rate debt obligations. We enter into debt obligations to support general corporate purposes including capital expenditures and working capital needs. We currently do not use interest rate derivatives to hedge interest rate exposure on our outstanding debt.

The table below presents principal amounts and related weighted average interest rates by year of maturity for our investment portfolio and debt obligations as of January 1, 2010. All short-term investments mature in three years or less. Long-term debt due in fiscal year 2013 includes the principal amount of $326 million related to our 2.375% Notes, which may be payable earlier if converted. These notes are currently not convertible.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk.  We may enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to manage exposure related to certain foreign currency commitments and anticipated foreign currency denominated expenditures. Our policy prohibits us from entering into derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. During the six months ended January 1, 2010 and fiscal years 2009 and 2008, we did not enter into any hedges of net investments in foreign operations.

We also hedge a portion of our foreign currency denominated balance sheet positions with foreign currency forward exchange contracts to reduce the risk that our earnings will be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates. The changes in fair value of these hedges are recognized in earnings in the same period as the gains and losses from the remeasurement of the assets and liabilities. These foreign currency forward exchange contracts are not designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (previously SFAS 161, Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities). All these forward contracts mature within 12 months.

We evaluate hedging effectiveness prospectively and retrospectively and record any ineffective portion of the hedging instruments in Other income (expense) on the Statements of Operations. We did not have any net gains (losses) recognized in Other income (expense) for cash flow hedges due to hedge ineffectiveness during the six months ended January 1, 2010, nor did we discontinue any material cash flow hedges for a forecasted transaction in the same period.

The table below provides information as of January 1, 2010 about our foreign currency forward exchange contracts. The table is provided in U.S. dollar equivalent amounts and presents the notional amounts (at the contract exchange rates) and the weighted average contractual foreign currency exchange rates.

(Dollars in millions, except average contract rate)	Notional Amount		Average Contract Rate	Estimated Fair Value (1)

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.  Based on that evaluation, our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, concluded that, as of January 1, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.  During the quarter ended January 1, 2010, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
