FORM 10-K/A
AMENDMENT NO. 1
TO
ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K
OF
CONNER PERIPHERALS, INC.
This Amendment No. 1 is being filed to amend the December 31, 1994 Annual
Report on Form 10-K ("1994 10-K") filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission by Conner Peripherals, Inc. (the "Company") on March 30, 1995 as
follows:
Part II-Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
Item 8 of the 1994 10-K is being amended hereby (i) by deleting the third
paragraph of "Note 15 Litigation" to the Company's Consolidated Financial
Statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994 and inserting the
following two paragraphs in its place:
During the first quarter of 1995, the Company received a newly issued
patent concerning various aspects of the power management features
incorporated in the Company's disk drives. Promptly following the issuance
of the patent, the Company filed a complaint with the United States
International Trade Commission alleging that various disk drives produced
by IBM infringe the new power management patent, and seeking an exclusion
order concerning IBM products incorporating these infringing drives. The
Company filed a lawsuit in Federal Court, Southern District of New York,
seeking damages and injunctive relief related to the infringement of the
power management patent.
On July 25, 1995, the Company and IBM agreed to dismiss all of the
litigation against each other and entered into patent cross license
agreements. The Company and IBM also established a five year commercial
relationship, whereby, IBM may buy the Company's products. The litigation
settlement did not have an adverse effect on the Company's results of
operations or financial position.
(ii) by deleting the second paragraph of the Report of Independent Accountants
and adding the words, following the date thereof, "except as to Note 15 which is
as of July 25, 1995."
Part IV-Item 14. Exhibits, Financial Statement Schedules and Reports on Form
8-K.
Item 14(a)(2) of the 1994 10-K is being amended hereby to make conforming
changes to the Report of Independent Accountants on Financial Statement Schedule
with respect to the amendments to Item 8 just described.
Item 14(c) of the 1994 10-K is being amended hereby by substituting a new
Exhibit 23.1, Consent of Independent Accountants, filed herewith.
Except as described above, this Amendment makes no changes to Items 8 and
14 of the 1994 10-K or to any of the documents listed in Item 14 and filed as
part of the 1994 10-K. Exhibit 23.1 has been filed with this Amendment. All
other Exhibits to the 1994 10-K were filed with the 1994 10-K, are not amended
by this Amendment and are not included with this Amendment.
Pursuant to Rule 12b-15 of the Rules and Regulations under the Securities
and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the complete texts of Items 8 and 14, as
amended, are included in this Amendment.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 The Company
- ------
Conner Peripherals, Inc. ("Company") was incorporated in California in June
1985, and reincorporated in Delaware in September 1992. The Company sells,
designs and builds a comprehensive line of information storage solutions
products, including disk drives, tape drives, storage management software and
storage systems for a wide range of computer applications.
During each of 1994 and 1993, sales to one customer accounted for
approximately 13% of net sales. During 1992, sales to two customers
accounted for approximately 15% and 12% of net sales.
The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to December 31.
Results of operations for the years ended in 1994 and 1993 include 52 weeks.
Results of operations for the year ended 1992 includes 53 weeks. The Company
reports quarterly results on thirteen-week quarterly periods, each ending on
the Saturday closest to month-end. For purposes of presentation, the Company
has indicated its accounting year as ending on December 31 or the month-end
for interim quarterly periods.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of Conner Peripherals, Inc. and its
majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated.
Revenue Recognition: Revenue from product sales to customers is recognized
upon shipment. Revenue from sales to certain distributors is subject to
agreements allowing certain rights of return and price protection on unsold
merchandise held by those distributors. Accordingly, reserves for estimated
future returns, exchanges and credits for marketing and other sales
incentives are also provided upon shipment.
Warranty Expense: The Company provides for the estimated cost which may be
incurred under its various product warranties upon product shipment.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments: The Company considers all
highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or
less to be cash equivalents. Short-term investments consist primarily of
certificates of deposit, bankers acceptances, preferred stock, corporate
debt, municipal debt and U.S. Government agency debt securities. These
investments generally mature within 12 months and prior to 1994 were carried at
cost, which approximated market.
Effective at the beginning of 1994, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments
in Debt and Equity Securities" (FAS 115), which requires the Company to
classify debt and equity securities into one of three categories; held to
maturity, trading or available for sale. The Company's investments are
classified as held to maturity and available for sale as of December 31,
1994. Investment securities classified as held to maturity are measured at
amortized cost based on the Company's positive intent to hold such securities
to maturity. Investment securities classified as available for sale are
measured at market value and net unrealized gains and losses are recorded as
a separate component of stockholders' equity until realized. Any gains or
losses on sales of investments are computed on specific identification. As of
December 31, 1994, net unrealized gains and losses on investments available
for sale were not material. The cumulative effect of adopting FAS 115 was not
material to the Company's financial position or results of operations.
Inventory: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, cost being
determined on a first-in, first-out basis.
Property, Plant and Equipment: Property, plant and equipment are stated at
cost. Equipment and furniture are depreciated using the straight-line method
based upon the estimated useful lives of the related assets which range from
eighteen months to 5 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the
straight-line method based upon the shorter of the estimated useful lives or the
lease term of the respective assets. Buildings
------
8
are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of
25 to 30 years.
Land and buildings held for sale, which are no longer used in the Company's
operations or held for future expansion, are stated at the lower of cost or
estimated fair value.
Goodwill and Other Intangibles: Goodwill and other intangibles, which include
patents and acquired technology, are being amortized over their estimated
useful lives ranging from 2 to 10 years. The Company evaluates the
recoverability of intangible assets based on future discounted cash flows.
Charges for impairment of intangible assets are recorded to the extent
unamortized book value of such assets exceed the related future discounted cash
flows.
Income Taxes: The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes." See Note 7 for additional information regarding the Company's
accounting for income taxes.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share: Primary net income per share is computed using
the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares
outstanding. Common equivalent shares consist of stock options (using the
treasury stock method). Fully diluted net income per share is computed using
the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares
outstanding and assuming the conversion, if dilutive, of all outstanding
convertible subordinated debentures from the date of issuance for all periods
in which they remained outstanding. For purposes of the fully diluted
computation, net income is adjusted by the after-tax interest expense
applicable to the convertible subordinated debentures. Primary and fully
diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding.
Foreign Currency Translation: The Company currently uses the U.S. dollar as
the functional currency of its foreign operations. Gains or losses from
foreign currency translation are included in the determination of net income.
To date, such amounts have been immaterial.
Concentration of Credit Risk: Financial instruments that potentially subject
the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally
of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and trade accounts
receivable. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents and short-term
investments in a variety of financial instruments such as certificates of
deposit, bankers acceptances, preferred stock, corporate debt, municipal debt
and U.S. Government agency debt securities. The Company, by policy, limits
the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution or commercial
issuer.
The Company sells its products to original equipment manufacturers and
distributors throughout the world. The Company performs ongoing credit
evaluations of its customers' financial condition and, generally, requires no
collateral from its customers. The Company maintains an allowance for
uncollectible accounts receivable based upon the expected collectibility of
all accounts receivable.
Foreign Currency Financial Instruments: To hedge against certain balance
sheet and operating income currency exposures incurred in the ordinary course
of business, the Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts and
purchases foreign currency option contracts for periods and amounts
consistent with the amounts and timing of operating cash flow requirements
and vendor purchase commitments. Gains and losses are deferred and offset by
gains and losses on the underlying hedged exposures. The Company does not
hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. The counterparties
to these contracts consist of international financial institutions. The
Company monitors the credit ratings and capital and surplus of its
counterparties.
Presentation: Certain prior year financial statement balances have been
reclassified to conform to the 1994 presentations.

sale are one year or less. The realized gains and losses as of December 31,
1994, had no material impact to the Company's financial position or results of
operations. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because
borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call
or prepayment penalties.

Note 4 Unusual Items
- ------
In the fourth quarter of 1994, the Company recorded $33,019,000 as a net
pretax credit to income for two unusual items. As discussed below, the
Company recorded an unusual credit of $38,019,000 for the reduction of
restructuring reserves established during 1993. This credit was partially
offset by a $5,000,000 unusual charge taken to write-off in-process research
and development associated with the acquisition of Quest Development
Corporation.
During 1993, the Company recorded special charges totaling $378,702,000, of
which $40,300,000 was charged to cost of sales and $338,402,000 was charged
to unusual items. The $40,300,000 charge to cost of sales reflected the cost
of the Company's actions to accelerate the end-of-life of certain disk drive
products. The $338,402,000 charge included a write-down of goodwill and other
intangibles of $212,945,000, restructuring charges of $106,457,000 for the
reduction of excess manufacturing capacity and the streamlining of operations
and a charge of $19,000,000 for certain contingencies.
The write-down of intangible assets totaling $212,945,000 consisted of
$180,000,000 for the remaining unamortized balance of goodwill related to the
Archive Corporation acquisition and $32,945,000 of identified intangibles.
The Company believes that the write-down of these assets was necessitated by
the emergence during 1993 of fundamental changes in the storage business,
primarily the increase in competition and the standardization of technologies
in the tape drive industry, which caused the value of these assets to be
permanently impaired.
The restructuring charges totaling $106,457,000 resulted from the Company's
decision to reduce excess manufacturing capacity to a level more consistent
with sustainable demand, to streamline operations as well as administrative
processes to reduce the Company's cost structure and to further integrate and
reduce selling, general and administrative and research and development
activities of both the disk and tape drive operations. As part of this
restructuring, the Company had decided to close certain of its manufacturing
operations.
In the fourth quarter of 1994, the Company lowered its estimate of the total
cost of restructuring and recorded an adjustment to its restructuring
reserves thereby increasing operating income by $38,019,000. This reduction
resulted from the modification of the Company's operating plans, primarily
the decision to cancel the closure of certain manufacturing operations due to
changing business conditions. These changing business conditions primarily
pertain to the improvement in local economies, the reduction in manufacturing
cost benefits achieved by shifting production to other locations and certain
other strategic benefits realized by maintaining a local presence.
------
11
As of December 31, 1994, the Company has executed all of its restructuring
actions. As a result, approximately 780 employees from manufacturing,
research and development, sales and marketing and administrative departments
have been terminated and facilities have been reduced by approximately
360,000 square feet. The Company's annual savings from operations resulting
from these actions was to reduce salaries and benefits by approximately
$32,000,000, depreciation expense by approximately $7,000,000 and rental
expense by approximately $2,000,000.
The following table sets forth the Company's restructuring reserves as of
December 31, 1993 and 1994:

December 31, 1994 $ 2,020 $ 3,927 $ 1,602 $ 7,549
=============================================
The Company expects that substantially all of the remaining employee termination
payments will be paid during 1995. Lease rental obligations included in excess
facilities are net of approximately $2,119,000 of estimated sublease income
expected to be derived from subleasing of the effected facilities. These
obligations will be paid through the year 2018 or sooner to the extent the
Company is able to negotiate a lease settlement or otherwise dispose of the
properties. Write-offs of assets and payments against other reserves at December
31, 1994, are expected to be substantially completed by the end of 1996.
In December 1992, in connection with the acquisition of Archive Corporation,
the Company recorded an unusual charge of $57,611,000 representing the fair
value of acquired research and development projects in-process at the date of
the acquisition.
Note 5 Acquisitions
- ------
During 1994, the Company's then wholly-owned subsidiary, Arcada Software,
Inc. ("Arcada") acquired Quest Development Corporation ("Quest") for
$8,500,000 in cash and issuance of shares representing approximately 22%
ownership interest in Arcada. Arcada is engaged in developing, producing and
marketing software products for data storage management. The effect of the
acquisition of Quest was not material to the Company's financial condition or
results of operations with the exception of the write-off of in-process
research and development of $5,000,000 included in "Unusual Items" (see Note
4).
During 1994, the Company increased its ownership interest in its joint
venture, Conner Shenzhen Peripherals Company Ltd., located in Shenzhen,
People's Republic of China, from 60% to 90% for $7,000,000 of which
$5,000,000 was paid during 1994. During 1993, the Company purchased for
$16,000,000 the remaining 49% minority interest owned by Olivetti S.p.A in
Conner Peripherals Europe, S.p.A. ("CPE"), the Company's majority-owned
subsidiary located in Italy. In connection with the acquisition, Olivetti
committed to purchase certain minimum quantities of the Company's products,
subject to certain conditions, for a period of three years. These acquisitions
had no material impact to the Company's financial condition or results of
operations.
------
12
In December 1992, the Company acquired Archive Corporation ("Archive"), a
manufacturer and supplier of tape back-up and data storage products for
$185,000,000 paid in cash, assumption of debt for $104,000,000 (all of which was
repaid during 1993 and 1992) and $17,000,000 for exchange of Archive stock
options and transaction costs. The excess of the purchase price over the fair
market value of the net tangible assets acquired was $303,893,000, of which
$57,611,000 was allocated to in-process research and development, $55,000,000
was allocated to various intangibles and the remaining $191,282,000 was
allocated to goodwill. The in-process research and development of $57,611,000
purchased in connection with the acquisition was expensed in 1992. During the
third quarter of 1993, the Company wrote-off all the unamortized goodwill and
certain other intangibles due to impairment resulting from changes in the
storage business (see Note 4). Operations of Archive have been included in the
Company's consolidated results of operations since the beginning of 1993.
Had the acquisition of Archive occurred as of the beginning of 1992,
unaudited net sales, net income and earnings per share presented on a pro
forma basis for the year ended December 31, 1992 would have been
$2,590,635,000, $157,804,000 and $2.36, respectively. This information was
prepared as if the acquisition had been consummated as of the beginning of 1992
and after giving effect to certain pro forma adjustments. The pro forma
information excludes the effects of the nonrecurring charges of $57,611,000
for in-process research and development (see Note 4). This pro forma
information does not purport to be indicative of what would have occurred had
the acquisition been consummated at the beginning of 1992 or of the results
which may occur in the future.

In connection with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") examination of the tax
returns of Archive and its subsidiaries, in 1994 the Company filed amended
federal tax returns reporting certain adjustments to income which reduced the
net operating loss carryforwards relating to pre-acquisition operations of
Archive and its subsidiaries by approximately $86,000,000. These adjustments
resulted in a reduction of the pre-acquisition unremitted foreign earnings of
Archive and its subsidiaries by the same amount. Consequently, the
------
14
Company reduced its gross deferred tax assets by approximately $30,000,000 and
made a corresponding reduction to its valuation reserves of approximately
$30,000,000. These adjustments had no impact on the tax provision or the net
deferred tax liabilities of the Company. At December 31, 1994, the Company has
net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $72,000,000 expiring 1997
through 2007, relating to pre-acquisition operations of Archive and its
subsidiaries. These losses may be used to offset future taxable income, subject
to an annual maximum limitation of approximately $12,000,000.
At December 31, 1994, the Company had deferred tax assets of approximately
$9,000,000 relating to post-acquisition net operating loss carryforwards of
Archive and its subsidiaries and foreign tax credit carryforwards which,
subject to certain restrictions, are available to reduce taxes on future
taxable income and expire in 1995 through 2008. At December 31, 1994, the
Company had not provided U.S. federal and state income taxes of approximately
$78,300,000 on cumulative unremitted earnings of its consolidated foreign
subsidiaries which are intended to be indefinitely reinvested.
The Company enjoys a tax holiday in Singapore relating to the manufacture of
disk drives, which expires in 1997, subject to post-holiday benefits. The
Company currently enjoys no tax holiday in Singapore with respect to the
manufacture of tape drives. However, the Company has applied for a Singapore
tax holiday through June 1997, relating to the manufacture of its newly
developed tape drives. The Company's initial tax holiday in Malaysia expired
on December 31, 1994 with respect to the manufacture of disk drives and
related subassemblies. The Company has applied for a five-year extension of
the tax holiday with respect to the manufacture of disk drives in Malaysia.
The Company also enjoys a tax holiday in China through December 1995,
relating to the manufacture of disk drives. The net impact of these tax
holidays was to increase net taxable income by $16,000,000 ($0.21 per share
fully diluted) in 1994, reduce the net loss by approximately $3,000,000
($0.06 per share fully diluted) in 1993 and increase net income by approximately
$27,800,000 ($0.37 per share fully diluted) in 1992.
The IRS is currently reviewing Archive and its subsidiaries' federal income
tax returns for 1985 through 1989. In December 1994, the IRS completed its
review of the Company's federal tax returns for 1989 and 1990 and issued a
deficiency notice for $43,000,000 in additional taxes. This assessment
results primarily from adjustments proposed by the IRS to the allocation of
income between the Company and its foreign manufacturing subsidiaries. The
Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the proposed adjustments and
will contest this assessment. Upon final resolution, the deficiency payment,
if any, will include assessed interest. Management believes that the ultimate
resolution of the ongoing IRS audits and pending assessments will not have a
material adverse impact on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.

During 1993, the Company modified certain terms of the senior unsecured notes.
Under the modified terms, in exchange for revising certain financial covenants,
the Company agreed to increase the interest rates of the notes by half a percent
for periods commencing from October 1, 1993, and ending the earlier of March 31,
1995, or the due dates of the notes.
Based upon quoted market prices, the fair value of the convertible subordinated
debentures was approximately $402,500,000 at December 31, 1994. The estimated
fair value of the Company's remaining long-term debt was $88,573,000 at December
31, 1994. The fair values of debt for which quoted prices were not available has
been determined based upon interest rates available to the Company for the
issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.
At December 31, 1994, future minimum principal payments on long-term debt and
capitalized lease obligations were as follows:

On December 23, 1993, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility
agreement ("Agreement") with a group of banks allowing borrowings of up to
$100,000,000 through December 23, 1995. Borrowings under the revolving credit
facility carry interest at the banks' prime rate or, at the option of the
Company, at an interbank offered rate (as defined in the Agreement). The
Agreement provides for a commitment fee. As of December 31, 1994, the Company
had no borrowings under the revolving credit facility. At December 31, 1994,
the Company had outstanding letters of credit and guarantees of $58,429,000.
The revolving credit facility and senior unsecured notes prohibit the payment
of cash dividends and require the maintenance of various financial covenants.
Without the prior consent of the lenders, the Company is also prohibited from
incurring debt and lease commitments in excess of specified amounts or
entering into acquisition, sale of business, merger or joint venture
agreements in excess of certain amounts. At December 31, 1994, the Company
was in full compliance with all covenants and conditions.
Note 9 Lease Commitments
- ------
The Company leases certain property, facilities and equipment under
non-cancelable operating leases. The terms of the leases for property,
facilities and equipment expire over the next 25 years with renewal options
in certain instances. In addition, the Company has leased certain equipment
under capitalized leases with outstanding lease obligations of less than one
million dollars as of December 31, 1994. These obligations mature sub-
stantially in 1995 and 1996.
Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases as of
December 31, 1994 are as follows:

Note 10 Employee Benefit Plans
- -------
Incentive Stock Plans: In 1986, the Company adopted the 1986 Incentive Stock
Plan ("Plan"). The Plan provides for the issuance of non-transferable stock
options to employees of the Company and non-statutory stock options and stock
purchase rights to directors, employees and consultants of the Company. The
Company has never issued any stock purchase rights. A total of 18,500,000
shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance of options and stock
purchase rights under the Plan. At December 31, 1994, 4,086,125 shares were
available for future grants of options and stock purchase rights.
Stock options are granted at prices of not less than 100% of the fair market
value of the common stock at the time of grant, except that stock options
granted to any employee who owns stock representing more than 10% of total
voting power must have an exercise price of not less than 110% of fair market
value. Options granted under the Plan prior to July 1992 expire five years
after the date of grant and vest over a period of four years. In July 1992,
the Plan was amended to provide an expiration period for subsequent stock
grants to ten years from the date of grant.
On December 29, 1992, upon completion of the acquisition of Archive, the
Company assumed the obligations existing under Archive's Incentive Stock
Option and Restricted Stock Purchase Plans ("Archive Plans"). Effective on
that date, the Company converted existing options to purchase Archive common
stock under the Archive Plans into an equivalent number of options to
purchase the Company's common stock. A total of 1,125,000 shares of the
Company's common stock were reserved for issuance of options of which
1,059,258 were issued upon the conversion. These options expire at various
times through 2002.

Restricted Stock Plan: In 1992, the Company's stockholders approved the adoption
of the 1992 Restricted Stock Plan ("Restricted Plan"). A total of 1,000,000
shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under the Restricted Plan. The
aggregate fair value of the shares granted under the Restricted Plan is
considered unearned compensation at the time of grant and compensation is earned
ratably over the vesting period of seven years. Total compensation expense
recognized during 1994, 1993 and 1992 was not material. At December 31, 1994,
379,937 shares had been issued under the Restricted Plan.
Arcada Stock Plan: During 1994, the Board of Directors of the Company's
majority-owned subsidiary, Arcada Holdings, Inc. ("Arcada"), approved a stock
option plan for employees and consultants of Arcada. This plan provides for
the issuance of up to 7,667,186 shares of common stock of Arcada. During
1994, options were granted at prices of $0.08 and $0.09 per
------
17
share which represents the fair market value of Arcada common stock at the
date of grant, as determined by Arcada's Board of Directors. Options granted
under this plan expire ten years after the date of grant and vest over a
period of four years. If all options were issued and exercised, they would
dilute the Company's ownership in Arcada from 78% to approximately 64%. As of
December 31, 1994, the number of options outstanding was 5,022,341.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan: In 1988, the Company adopted an Employee Stock
Purchase Plan ("Purchase Plan"). A total of 4,500,000 shares of common stock
are reserved for issuance under the Purchase Plan. Shares may be purchased by
participants at the lower of 85% of the fair market value of the common stock
at the beginning or end of each six-month offering period. Shares are to be
purchased from payroll deductions which are limited to 15% of an employee's
compensation. At December 31, 1994, 3,810,557 shares had been issued under
the Purchase Plan.
Profit Sharing Plan: The Company had a profit sharing plan which provided for
additional compensation to substantially all employees of the Company, with
the exception of certain marketing and sales personnel who were compensated
on a commission basis, Arcada employees and certain non-U.S. employees. Prior
to 1994, the additional compensation was determined on a quarterly basis,
based upon a percentage of the amount of operating profit in excess of a
stipulated return on equity. As a result of operating losses incurred in
1993, the Company did not distribute profit sharing or record charges to income
relating to profit sharing. Charges to income for the profit sharing plan
during 1992 were approximately $14,686,000 which is included in selling,
general and administrative costs.
During 1994, upon certain stockholder approval, the Company adopted new
profit sharing and incentive compensation bonus plans ("Plans") for eligible
employees, with the exception of certain sales-commissioned personnel and
Arcada employees. Additional compensation is earned and paid on a quarterly
or semi-annual basis on the achievement by the Company of revenue and operating
income targets as a percentage of the Company's financial plan established at
the beginning of the fiscal year. Individual performance for those employees
participating in the incentive compensation bonus plans are earned and paid
on a quarterly or semi-annual basis. In addition, certain eligible employees
participating in plans are entitled to receive additional year end bonus
awards based on the achievement by the Company of annual revenue and
operating income targets as a percentage of the Company's financial plan.
Charges to income for the Plans during 1994 were approximately $9,042,000
which is included in selling, general and administrative costs.
401(k) Savings Plan: In 1990, the Company adopted a 401(k) savings plan
("Savings Plan") covering substantially all of its U.S. employees. Under the
Savings Plan, eligible employees may contribute up to 15% of their
compensation to the Savings Plan with the Company matching participants'
contributions up to $250 per employee per year at the rate of 50% of the
employee contribution. Both the participants' and the Company's contributions
are fully vested. To date, the Company's contributions have not been material.
Note 11 Repurchase of Common Stock
- -------
As of December 31, 1991, Compaq Computer Corporation ("Compaq") owned
approximately 21% of the outstanding common stock of the Company. In August
1992, the Company repurchased and retired 11,638,802 shares of the Company's
common stock from Compaq, representing substantially all of Compaq's equity
interest in the Company.

Note 12 Preferred Shares Rights Agreement
- -------
On November 29, 1994, the Board of Directors ("Board") adopted a Preferred
Shares Rights Agreement ("Agreement") and pursuant to the Agreement
authorized and declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right
("Right") for each common share outstanding of the Company on January 10,
1995. The Rights are designed to protect and maximize the value of the
outstanding equity interests in the Company in the event of an unsolicited
attempt by an acquirer to take over the Company, in a manner or terms not
approved by the Board. Each Right becomes exercisable to purchase one-hundredth
of a share of Series A Participating Preferred Stock at an exercise price of
$70.00 and expire on November 29, 2004. The Company may redeem the Rights at a
price of $0.01 per Right.
Note 13 Foreign Currency Exposure and Risk Management
- -------
The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts and purchases
foreign currency option contracts to hedge operating cash flow requirements
and vendor purchase commitments denominated in foreign currency (principally
British Pound Sterling, Singapore Dollars, Italian Lira and Japanese Yen). The
terms of such hedging instruments are not more than three months for all
currencies other than those for Yen which are up to eight months. The purpose of
the Company's foreign currency hedging activities is to protect the Company's
foreign currency assets and liabilities and foreign currency operating cash
flows from adverse changes in exchange rates. As of December 31, 1994, the
realized and deferred gains and losses on option and forward contracts were not
material. At December 31, 1994, the Company had outstanding foreign currency
forward contracts and foreign currency option contracts aggregating
approximately $60,890,000 and $22,870,000, respectively. The contract amounts
approximate the fair value of outstanding contracts and options at December 31,
1994. These contracts mature at various periods through April 1995 and are
consistent with the amounts and timing of the underlying anticipated cash flow
requirements and purchase commitments.

Note 15 Litigation
- -------
The Company and certain of its officers and directors are defendants in a
securities class action lawsuit which purports to represent a class of
investors who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company's common stock
between January 1992 and May 1993. Certain officers and directors are also
defendants in a related stockholders derivative suit. The complaints seek
unspecified damages and other relief. The Company intends to defend the
actions vigorously.
In August 1993, the Company was served with a patent infringement complaint,
filed by IBM, alleging that products manufactured by the Company have infringed
certain patents owned by IBM. In addition, the complaint seeks declaratory
relief to the effect that disk drives produced by IBM do not infringe certain
patents held by the Company and seeks to have such patents declared invalid. The
Company answered the complaint, denying all material allegations and
counterclaiming that IBM disk drives infringe certain patents owned by Conner,
including those patents contained in the IBM complaint.
During the first quarter of 1995, the Company received a newly issued patent
concerning various aspects of the power management features incorporated in the
Company's disk drives. Promptly following the issuance of the patent, the
Company filed a complaint with the United States International Trade Commission
alleging that various disk drives produced by IBM infringe the new power
management patent, and seeking an exclusion order concerning IBM products
incorporating these infringing drives. The Company filed a lawsuit in Federal
Court, Southern District of New York, seeking damages and injunctive relief
related to the fringement of the power management patent.
On July 25, 1995, the Company and IBM agreed to dismiss all of the litigation
against each other and entered into patent cross license agreements. The Company
and IBM also established a five year commercial relationship, whereby, IBM may
buy the Company's products. The litigation settlement did not have an adverse
effect on the Company's results of operations or financial position.
In 1992, the Company filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Western
Digital Corporation ("Western Digital") alleging the infringement of five of
the Company's patents by Western Digital. Western Digital has filed a
counterclaim alleging infringement of certain of its patents by the Company.
The Company believes it has valid claims against Western Digital and
meritorious defenses to the claims asserted by Western Digital.
In 1994, the Company was served with a patent litigation claim alleging that
the Company's DC2000 tape drives infringe a patent held by Iomega Corporation
("Iomega"). This claim was settled by the Company and Iomega during 1994 and
had no material effect on the results of operations.
