NATIONAL SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal
recurring adjustments (except as discussed in Note 2 and Note 3),
necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of
operations of National Semiconductor Corporation and its subsidiaries
("National" or the "Company"). Interim results of operations are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 30,
1993.
Effective beginning fiscal 1994, the Company prospectively adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employer's
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits other than Pensions" ("FAS 106"),
the adoption of which did not have a material impact on the Company's
financial statements.
Note 2. Results of Operations
Results of operations for the first nine months of fiscal 1994 include
accrued costs of centralizing sales and logistics facilities within the
Company's international business regions of $10.3 million (all recorded
in the first half of 1994) and net intellectual property income of $7.4
million ($5.3 million in the third quarter). Operating results for the
first nine months of fiscal 1993 include net intellectual property
income of $40.0 million ($8.3 million in the third quarter), and accrued
costs of centralizing sales and logistics facilities within the
Company's international business regions of $9.1 million (all accrued in
the second quarter).
Note 3. Change in Accounting
Effective beginning fiscal 1994, the Company changed its method of
accounting to include certain costs in inventory which were previously
charged directly to cost of sales as incurred. These costs consist
primarily of product engineering, quality assurance and reliability, and
production control and logistics. The Company believes that this change
is preferable in the circumstances because it more closely matches
inventory costs with net sales and more closely aligns the Company with
industry practices. The cumulative effect of this change on years prior
to fiscal 1994 of $4.9 million is reflected in the Condensed
Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine months ended February
27, 1994. The impact of the change on net income before the cumulative
effect of the accounting change in the third quarter and first nine
months of fiscal 1994 and the proforma effect on net income for the
comparable periods of fiscal 1993 under the new method of accounting
were immaterial.
In addition, effective beginning fiscal 1994, the Company
reclassified certain period expenses from cost of sales to research and
development expense or selling, general and administrative expense. The
amounts presented in prior period statements of operations have been
reclassified to conform with the fiscal 1994 presentation. For the
third quarter of fiscal 1993, the effect of the reclassification was to
decrease cost of sales by $21.0 million, or 4.3 percent of sales, and to
increase research and development and selling, general and
administrative expenses by $6.9 million and $14.1 million, or 1.4
percent and 2.9 percent of sales, respectively.
For the first nine months of fiscal 1993, the effect of the
reclassification was to decrease cost of sales by $63.9 million, or 4.4
percent of sales, and to increase research and development and selling,
general and administrative expenses by $20.9 million and $43.0 million,
or 1.4 percent and 3.0 percent of sales, respectively. For the fourth
quarter of fiscal 1993, the effect of the reclassification was to
decrease cost of sales by $17.4 million, or 3.1 percent of sales, and to
increase research and development and selling, general and
administrative expenses by $6.0 million and $11.4 million, or 1.1
percent and 2.0 percent of sales, respectively. Net income was not
impacted in any period by the reclassifications.
Note 4. Accounting for Income Taxes
Effective beginning fiscal 1994, the Company prospectively adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes" ("FAS 109"). FAS 109 requires that deferred liabilities
or assets at the end of each period be determined using the tax rate
expected to be in effect when the taxes are actually paid or recovered.
The measurement of deferred taxes is reduced, if necessary, by a
valuation allowance. The cumulative effect of adopting FAS 109 is not
material to the consolidated financial statements. Income tax expense
for the first nine months of fiscal 1994 is not materially different
under FAS 109 than it would have been under the Company's previous
method of accounting under Financial Accounting Standards No. 96,
"Accounting for Income Taxes" ("FAS 96"). The adoption of FAS 109 did
result in the reclassification of $1.5 million of noncurrent deferred
tax liabilities to income taxes payable. The tax effects of temporary
differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax
assets and deferred tax liabilities at May 31, 1993 are presented below
(in millions):
Deferred tax assets:
Reserves and Accruals $ 93.3
Inventory capitalization and reserves 17.9
Capitalized assets and other assets 18.4
Capitalized R&D - state 5.7
Loss carryovers and other allowances - foreign 81.6
Net operating loss carryovers - Federal 22.1
Net operating loss carryovers - state 2.6
General business tax credit carryovers - Federal 81.0
Foreign tax credit carryovers 9.0
AMT credit carryovers 5.0
-----
Total gross deferred tax assets 336.6
Less valuation allowance (322.1)
-----
Net deferred tax assets $ 14.5
-----
Deferred tax liabilities:
Capital allowances - foreign $(24.0)
Other liabilities (5.9)
------
Total gross deferred tax liabilities $(29.9)
------
Net deferred tax liabilities $(15.4)
======
Of the total valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, $7.5
million of subsequently recognized tax benefits attributable to employee
stock option exercises will be allocated to additional paid-in capital
rather than to income tax benefit.
As of May 31, 1993, the Company had available for federal tax
reporting purposes net operating loss carryovers of approximately $65
million and research and investment tax credit carryovers of
approximately $81 million. The loss carryovers and credit carryovers
expire through fiscal years 2007 and 2008, respectively. The Company
also has operating loss carryovers in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions.
The U.S. Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") examinations of National's
U.S. federal income tax returns for fiscal years 1976-1982 resulted in
the issuance of deficiency notices during fiscal 1989 and 1990 seeking
additional taxes amounting to approximately $76 million (exclusive of
interest). National filed petitions with the United States Tax Court
contesting the deficiency notices and the cases were consolidated for
trial. National and the IRS subsequently settled all issues for fiscal
years 1976 through 1982 except for intercompany product transfer prices.
This settlement reduced the additional taxes being sought to
approximately $52 million (exclusive of interest). Trial in the case
was held in February 1993, briefs were filed in June 1993 and rebuttal
briefs were filed in August 1993; however, the Company is not able to
predict when a decision will be rendered. As a result of the length of
time which has elapsed since the fiscal years in question as well as the
effect of compounding, the amount of any total liability ultimately owed
would be a multiple of the amount of the underlying additional tax. The
Company's tax returns for fiscal 1983 through 1989 have been under
examination by the IRS and the Company expects the IRS to raise similar
issues. In January 1994, the Company and the IRS settled all issues for
fiscal years 1983 through 1985, including issues relating to
intercompany product transfer pricing, without the payment of additional
federal tax. This result will be affected, however, by certain net
operating loss carryovers and credits which will not be determined until
a final decision in the litigation pending in the United States Tax
Court is rendered. The Company's tax returns for fiscal years 1986
through 1989 are still under examination by the IRS. The Company
believes the amounts paid or accrued are adequate.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Sales for the three months ended February 27,
1994, were $544.7 million, an increase of 10.8 percent from sales of
$491.5 million for the three months ended February 28, 1993. Net income
for the third quarter of fiscal 1994 was $63.8 million as compared to
net income of $26.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal 1993. Net
income of $181.6 million for the first nine months of fiscal 1994
includes a $4.9 million gain (all in the first quarter)due to the
cumulative effect of a change in accounting to include certain costs in
inventory which were previously expensed as incurred (see Note 3). Net
income for the comparable nine month period in fiscal 1993 was $84.1
million.
Sales The sales increase in the third quarter of fiscal 1994 as
compared to fiscal 1993 was primarily due to the Company's Standard
Product Group ("SPG"), with the primary increases coming from higher
average sales prices in both the Analog division and Data Management
division coupled with increased volume in the Analog division. Overall,
sales in the Company's Communications and Computing Group ("CCG")
decreased from the comparable quarter in fiscal 1993. The primary
factor affecting this decline was a reduction in local area networking
product sales caused by both decreased volume and selling prices for
the three month comparable period. The Wide Area Network division,
however, had both increased volume and selling prices in fiscal 1994
over the comparable three month period in fiscal 1993.
Sales for the nine months ended February 27, 1994 were $1,686.0 million,
an increase of 15.8 percent from sales of $1,455.8 million in the same
period last year. Sales increased significantly compared to the first
nine months of fiscal 1993 in the Analog division and the Data
Management divisions of SPG, due to both increased unit sales and
increased average selling prices. Sales also increased compared to the
first nine months of fiscal 1993 in CCG. The sales increase was
attributable primarily to increases in sales of the Embedded Systems
and the Wide Area Network divisions, offset partially by a decrease in
local area networking product sales which was due to declining prices as
well as reduced volume.
Gross Margin Gross margin in the third quarter of fiscal 1994 was
$228.4 million, or 41.9 percent of sales, an improvement from 35.4
percent in the same period last year, as reclassified (See Note 3).
Gross margin in the nine months ended fiscal 1994 was $700.2 million, or
41.5 percent of sales, an improvement from $505.7 million, or 34.7
percent of sales, over the same period of last fiscal year, as
reclassified. The improvement, in both the third quarter and nine month
period in fiscal 1994, was primarily attributable to increased prices as
well as a shift in product mix, coming primarily from Analog intensive
and Data Management division products in SPG. In CCG, overall margins
have increased for the comparable three and nine month periods, with the
primary increases coming from the Embedded Systems division which were
partially offset by margin declines in local area networking products.
Research and Development Third quarter research and development ("R&D")
expenses were $62.7 million, or 11.5 percent of sales, compared to $57.0
million, or 11.6 percent of sales, for the third quarter of 1993. R&D
expenses were $191.3 million and $167.6 million, or 11.3 percent and
11.5 percent of sales, for the nine months ended February 27, 1994 and
February 28, 1993 respectively. The Company continues to focus efforts
on analog intensive, communications, and personal system products.
Expenditures in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 1994
compared to fiscal 1993 have increased in these areas of focus.
Selling, general and administrative For the third quarter ended
February 27, 1994, selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses
were $97.9 million compared to $88.1 million for the third quarter of
fiscal 1994. SG&A expenses for the third quarter of 1994 include a net
benefit of $5.3 million from net intellectual property income. SG&A
expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 1993 include a net benefit of
$0.4 million, consisting of $8.3 million of intellectual property
income, partially offset by a charge of $4.7 million from a write down
of an equity investment and $3.2 million in legal expenses incurred in
connection with a tax dispute. Exclusive of these items, SG&A expenses
for the third quarter of fiscal 1994 were $103.2 million, or 18.9
percent of sales compared to $88.5 million, or 18.0 percent of sales for
the third quarter of fiscal year 1993. SG&A expenses, having remained
relatively constant as a percentage of sales, increased in absolute
dollars. This increase is primarily due to increased costs for
marketing and advertising, and increased costs for certain employee
benefit plans, including increased contributions to employee retirement
and savings programs.
For the nine months ended February 27, 1994, SG&A expenses were
$303.8 million compared to $245.1 million for the first nine months of
fiscal 1993. SG&A expenses for the first nine months of fiscal 1994
include a net charge of $0.7 million, consisting of a charge of $10.3
million for consolidation of sales and marketing facilities in the
Company's international business regions, net intellectual property
income of $7.4 million and a gain on a sale of an investment of $2.2
million. SG&A expenses for the first nine months of fiscal 1993 include
a net benefit of $17.0 million, consisting of $40.0 million of
intellectual property income, partially offset by a charge of $9.1
million relating to the consolidation of sales and marketing facilities,
$9.2 million in legal expenses incurred in connection with a tax dispute
and $4.7 million for the write off of an investment. Exclusive of
these items, SG&A expenses for the first nine months of fiscal 1994 were
$303.1 million, or 18.0 percent of sales, compared to $262.1 million, or
18.0 percent of sales, for the comparable period in fiscal 1993. The
increase in SG&A expenses in absolute dollars is primarily due to
increased costs for marketing and advertising, and increased costs for
certain employee benefit plans, including increased contributions to
employee retirement and savings programs.
Interest Income and Interest Expense Net interest income for the three
and nine months ended February 27, 1994, was $3.1 million and $6.9
million, respectively, compared to $1.4 million and $1.8 million for the
respective periods of fiscal 1993. Interest income has increased due
primarily to higher average cash and investment balances in the third
quarter and nine months of fiscal 1994 as compared to the same periods
of fiscal 1993. Interest expense decreased due to lower average
outstanding debt balances in the first nine months of fiscal 1994 as
compared to the same period of fiscal 1993.
Income Tax Expense Income tax expense for the first nine months of
fiscal 1994 was $35.3 million, or 16.7 percent of income before taxes,
compared to $10.7 million, or 11.3 percent of income before taxes for
the comparable period of fiscal 1993. In the third quarter of fiscal
1994, the Company revised the estimated effective tax rate for fiscal
1994 to 15 percent on an annualized basis as compared to the previous
estimate of 20 percent on an annualized basis. The reduction is
primarily due to a change in operating performance among geographic
regions, which resulted in an increased utilization of net operating
loss carryovers. While the Company has reduced the effective rate for
fiscal 1994, the current effective tax rate is higher than that in the
comparable period in fiscal 1993 primarily due to the expected
exhaustion of certain net operating loss carryovers in fiscal 1994.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Company's cash and cash equivalent balance as of February 27, 1994
was $335.2 million. Operating activities for the first nine months of
fiscal 1994 provided $247.6 million in cash, as compared to $90.7
million for the equivalent period of the prior year. The primary change
in cash from operations came from net income of $181.6 million for the
nine months ended February 27, 1994 as compared to $84.1 million for the
comparable period of fiscal 1993. Cash used for investing activities
was $184.1 million, which included $158.9 for the purchase of property,
plant, and equipment. The Company's capital expenditures in the first
nine months of fiscal 1994 were directed towards process improvements
and modernization of existing plants, and continued expansion of its
Arlington, Texas; South Portland, Maine; and Greenock, Scotland
facilities. Financing activities used a net of $5.7 million in cash,
consisting primarily of repayment of debt of $12.1 million, payment of
preferred stock dividends of $15.9 million, offset partially by $20.4
million of proceeds received from the issuance of common stock under
employee benefit plans. Management believes that existing cash and
investment balances, and existing lines of credit, together with cash
provided by operations, will be sufficient to fund anticipated capital
expenditures and other investing and financing activities through the
immediately foreseeable future.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
- -------------------------
See information provided in Note 4 concerning the Company's tax
litigation matters in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
which information is incorporated herein by reference.
By letter dated January 6, 1994, the Company was notified by the
California Department of Toxic Substances Control ("DTSC") of a Report
of Violation ("ROV") listing 39 violations arising out of inspections of
certain facilities and operations of the Company located in Santa Clara,
California and the DTSC's further review of information obtained during
the inspections. The deficiencies cited may be described as violations
of various provisions of the California Health and Safety Code and the
California Code of Regulations relating to the record keeping for and
the handling, treatment, storage and disposal of hazardous products and
wastes. The Company is working to correct the deficiencies noted in the
ROV. Although the Company has not yet received any notification that
the state is seeking monetary sanctions connected with the ROV, the
Company does expect that if the state does institute proceedings seeking
monetary sanctions, the amount involved may exceed $100,000 (the amount
specified in Instruction 5 C to Item 103 of Regulation S-K of the
Securities and Exchange Commission) but will not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's financial position.

with respect to which such royalties are payable, and shall be
accompanied by an accounting of the revenue
upon which such payment is
based, certified by an executive officer of the appropriate party as
being accurate based upon the books and records of such party and
calculated in accordance with this Agreement. On or before March 31 of
each year, the parties shall agree upon a nationally recognized firm of
public accountants, which firm shall provide a report for each party
setting forth the basis upon which payments of royalties were computed
during the preceding calendar year, the amount of Allocable Wave Revenue
and Allocable NSC Revenue for such year and the aggregate amount of
royalty payments payable during and with respect to such year. If the
amount of royalties shown on such report to be due to either party
exceeds the aggregate amount of payments made to such party during and
with respect to such year pursuant to this Article VI, then the other
party shall promptly pay such party the amount of the excess. If the
aggregate amount of such payments made to either party shall exceed the
amount of royalties shown to be due to such party on such report, the
other party shall credit the amount of such overpayment against
royalties accruing pursuant to this Article VI after the end of such
year. Each party shall keep accurate records of the computation of
royalties payable to the other hereunder and, with reasonable advance
notice, shall make such records available to the nationally recognized
firm of public accountants selected as provided above for inspection
during normal business hours at the place or places where such records

Exhibit 10.2
AIRPLANE USE AGREEMENT
This Airplane Use Agreement ("Agreement") is made, entered into and
effective as of the 28th day of September, 1993, by and between National
Semiconductor Corporation, a Delaware corporation, having its principal
place of business at 2900 Semiconductor Drive, Santa Clara, CA 95051
(the "Company") and Gilbert F. Amelio, dba Aero Ventures, 13416 Middle
Fork Lane, Los Altos Hills, CA 94022 ("Amelio").
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Company and Amelio first entered into a Letter
Agreement dated July 15, 1991 ("Letter Agreement") which, inter alia,
reimbursed Amelio for the business use of his personal airplane; and
WHEREAS, Amelio has replaced the airplane covered by the Letter
Agreement and the facts and circumstances surrounding the use of the
airplane have changed; and
WHEREAS, the Parties want to terminate the Letter Agreement and
enter into a new agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties hereto agree as follows:
1. RECITALS. The Recitals hereinabove are made a part of the
Agreement.
2. AIRPLANE. Amelio represents and warrants that he is the
sole owner of the airplane described in Exhibit A (the "Airplane").
3. SCOPE OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement relates to the use of the
Airplane by either the Company or Amelio for Company business travel and
not to any other use of the Airplane. Both the Company and Amelio shall
be permitted to use the Airplane for travel on Company business when
such use is appropriate and is specified on a Travel Authorization
approved prior to the commencement of travel in accordance with the
Company's applicable Corporate and Finance Policies ("Authorized
Business Use"). Amelio's use of the Airplane in connection with his
performance of services for the Company shall be limited to Authorized
Business Use.
4. CONSIDERATION. Whenever the Airplane is used by either the
Company or Amelio for an Authorized Business Use,
the Company will pay
to Amelio the sum of $800 per hour for actual Authorized Business Use
flying time based on the Airplane's log book. The $800.00 rate per hour
has been determined to be the present fair market value which, as such,
shall be subject to annual review. The Company shall pay directly all
other direct costs associated with the Airplane, including but not
limited to, co-pilot costs when co-pilots are used, parking and landing
fees, fees of fixed base operations, fuel and lubricant costs,
maintenance parts and labor expenses, supply expenses and pilot travel
expenses. The Company shall also assume responsibility for employment
of one co-pilot and payment for hangar rental at the San Jose,
California airport and the Company's insurance costs. Since the Company
will be directly responsible for these direct and fixed costs and the
Parties recognize that it will be difficult to allocate Amelio's
responsibility for these costs when associated with his personal use of
the Airplane, the Parties agree that Amelio will pay to the Company the
sum of $820.00 per hour for actual flying time based on the Airplane's
log book that is associated with Amelio's use of the Airplane for uses
other than Authorized Business Uses.
The Company will also reimburse Amelio for the reasonable costs of
instruction, plus $800.00 per hour for actual flying time on the
Airplane, required to maintain currency and proficiency, together with
the reasonable cost of medical examinations required by the FAA and/or
Company regulations. Payment and/or reimbursement to Amelio shall be
made upon submission and approval for payment of written expense reports
documenting such expenses. Payments and reimbursements hereunder shall
constitute the extent of the Company's obligation to pay Amelio for
costs of maintenance, depreciation, insurance, operation and any and all
other expenses related to or occasioned by Authorized Business Use of
the Airplane.
5. OPERATION OF THE AIRPLANE. Amelio will operate the Airplane at
all times in compliance with the Company's operating procedures and
restrictions and any and all Federal, state or local laws and
regulations applicable to the operation of the Airplane or private
aircraft in general. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
a. Amelio agrees not to use a Special VFR request for clearance
out of an Airport Control Zone when the official weather is reported as
requiring IFR; and
b. Amelio agrees to report all accidents or incidents (i) to the
nearest FSDO office within the time
limit stipulated by Federal Air
Regulations, (ii) to the appropriate insurance representatives, and
(iii) to the Company's General Counsel.
6. PASSENGERS. Amelio understands and agrees that as a general
policy, he will not carry as passengers on Authorized Business Use any
persons who are not Company employees. To the extent there are
legitimate business purposes for exceptions, Amelio will carry such
passengers only if they have each executed and filed with the Company's
General Counsel a release, in form and substance approved in writing by
the Company's General Counsel, releasing the Company from any and all
liability arising out of such passenger accompanying Amelio on the
Airplane in connection with an Authorized Business Use.
7. INDEMNITY. Amelio hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
the Company, its directors, officers, employees and other agents
(collectively, "the Indemnitees") against and from any and all
liabilities, claims, demands, losses, costs and expenses of any kind or
nature whatsoever which may be asserted against or suffered or incurred
by the Indemnitees or any of them arising out of or in connection with
Amelio's ownership, operation or use of the Airplane whether for
Authorized Business Use or any other purpose and whether in accordance
with or in breach of this Agreement. The foregoing indemnity is
specifically intended to apply whether or not any such liability, claim,
demand, loss, cost or expense may to any extent have arisen out of or
been based upon the negligence or claimed negligence of Amelio or any of
the Indemnitees. This indemnity shall survive any expiration or
cancellation of this Agreement.
8. TERM. This Agreement shall become effective as of September
28, 1993, subject to approval by the Board of Directors of the Company
and shall continue thereafter for a period of one year, subject to
renewal as agreed to by the Parties. This Agreement may be cancelled
earlier by operation of its terms or cancelled by the Company upon
notice to Amelio for reasonable cause, which reasonable cause shall
include but not be limited to (i) any breach of Amelio's obligations
under this Agreement, or (ii) the payment to Amelio by the Company under
this Agreement of a net sum exceeding $225,000 in any 12-month period.
9. AMENDMENTS. This Agreement, including those referenced rules
and policies, evidences the understanding between the Company and Amelio
with respect to use of the Airplane for Company business. It supersedes
and
replaces all prior agreements and understandings, written or oral,
including the Letter Agreement, and may be amended only by a written
instrument of comparable formality.
10. CONSENT OF SPOUSE. Charlene Amelio, wife of Gilbert F.
Amelio, consents and agrees to the terms and conditions contained
herein.
11. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of
California.
