MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL
CONDITION
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net sales of $2.1 billion in 1994 rose by approximately 30 percent from
1993. This increase was primarily attributable to substantial growth in
Am486(R) microprocessor sales.
1993 net sales increased by 9 percent from 1992, due to an increase in
flash memory device sales and higher sales in most other product lines partially
offset by a decline in Am386(R) microprocessor sales.
Revenues of Am486 microprocessors have grown significantly since its
introduction in the second quarter of 1993. While average selling prices of
Am486 products have declined due to competitive pressures, unit shipments have
grown significantly. As a result, a significant portion of the company's 1994
revenues, profits, and margins were attributable to Am486 products. Price
declines are anticipated to continue in 1995. The company anticipates that
microprocessor revenues will continue to represent a significant portion of the
company's sales, profits, and margins in 1995.
The future outlook for AMD's microprocessor business is highly dependent
upon microprocessor market conditions, which are subject to price elasticity and
changes in demand. The company anticipates that any growth in existing and
future generation microprocessor products will depend on market demand and the
company's ability to meet this demand.
Sales of flash memory devices decreased in 1994 from 1993 primarily due to
pricing pressures caused by increased competition, and secondarily due to the
company's inability to increase production due to limited capacity. The company
plans to meet projected long-term demand for flash memory devices through a
manufacturing joint venture, Fujitsu AMD Semiconductor Limited (FASL), which is
presently scheduled to begin volume production in the second half of 1995.
EPROM sales increased in 1994 from 1993 mainly because of higher unit
shipments in the first half of 1994. The company anticipates that EPROM sales
may decline in 1995.
Sales of programmable logic devices (PLDs) decreased slightly in 1994 from
1993. While sales of CMOS PLDs grew from 1993, this growth did not offset the
decline in bipolar PLD sales.
Revenues of communication products increased in 1994 from 1993. This
increase was primarily attributable to growth in Ethernet products.
International sales grew in 1994 in all geographic regions as compared to
1993. Sales to international customers were approximately 55 percent of total
sales in 1994, 54 percent in 1993, and 55 percent in 1992.
Gross margin was 54 percent in 1994 as compared to 52 percent in 1993, and
51 percent in 1992. The improvement in gross margin in 1994 was primarily
attributable to increased sales from higher margin Am486 products. Gross margin
is anticipated to decline in 1995, primarily due to pricing pressures
particularly with respect to microprocessor products. Gross margin is also
anticipated to decline due to products received from FASL, which are expected to
be purchased at higher costs compared to similar products manufactured
internally. The impact of gross margin declines, arising from purchases of
products from FASL, may be partially offset by the company's share of income
that may be generated by FASL, which is included in net income under the equity
method of accounting.
Research and development expense for 1994 increased to $280.0 million from
$262.8 million in 1993 and $227.9 million in 1992. These increases were mainly
due to higher spending in microprocessor development. The company anticipates
that this trend will continue in 1995.
Marketing, general, and administrative expense increased from 1992 through
1994. These increases were primarily due to increased legal expenses related to
litigations with Intel (which were settled in January, 1995) and microprocessor
advertising expenses.
Operating expenses as a percentage of sales were on a downward trend from
1992 through 1994. However, operating expenses as a percentage of sales are
anticipated to rise in 1995, primarily due to start-up costs and commencement of
significant depreciation expenses related to Fab 25 and purchase of product from
FASL, as well as pricing pressures, particularly with respect to microprocessor
products.
On January 11, 1995, the company and Intel Corporation reached an agreement
to settle all previously outstanding legal disputes between the two companies.
The major terms of the settlement are: (1) AMD will have a fully paid-up,
nonexclusive, world-wide, royalty-free, perpetual license to copy and distribute
the microcode and control code in the Intel287(TM), Intel386(TM) and
Intel486(TM) microprocessor product families. (2) AMD agreed that it has no
right to copy any other Intel microcode including the Pentium(TM) Processor, the
P6 microcode and the 486 of ICE (in-circuit emulation) microcode. (3) The
companies agreed to negotiate a new patent cross-license agreement to become
effective January 1, 1996. (4) AMD agreed to pay Intel $58 million in settlement
of claims for past damages related to AMD's distribution of Am486
microprocessors containing Intel's 486 ICE microcode. As ordered in a 1992
arbitration between the companies, Intel will pay AMD approximately $18 million
in damages (which includes interest) awarded by the arbitrator for breach of
contract and will not contest certain rights granted AMD in the arbitration. The
company recorded both the ICE case damages and the arbitration award in 1994.
(5) Intel and AMD will drop all cases against each other, including appeals,
currently
ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES, INC. 7
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL
CONDITION
pending in the courts. (6) AMD will have the right to use foundries for Am486
products containing Intel microcode for up to 20 percent of annual total unit
shipments of Am486 microprocessors. (7) AMD and its customers will receive a
license for Intel's "Crawford `338" patent, covering memory management. (8) The
two companies agreed not to initiate legal action against one another for any
activity occurring prior to January 6, 1995.
The company recorded a $58 million litigation settlement in 1994 as a
result of the forgoing settlement. Also, during 1994, interest income and other,
net, included a net charge of approximately $5 million resulting from the
securities class action lawsuit and stockholders' derivative action settlements,
and damages awarded to the company in the arbitration proceeding with Intel
Corporation. Interest expense decreased in 1994 and 1993 as compared to 1992,
mainly due to lower average outstanding debt and lower interest rates.
The income tax rate increased to approximately 33 percent in 1994 from 28
percent in 1993 and 10 percent in 1992. The higher tax rate in 1994 was
primarily due to reduced benefits from low taxed foreign income and available
tax credit carryforwards. The company anticipates that the income tax rate will
be approximately 34 percent in 1995.
The company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to buy and sell
currencies as economic hedges of the company's foreign net monetary asset
position. In 1994, these hedging transactions were denominated in lira, yen,
French franc, deutsche mark, and pound sterling. The maturities of these
contracts are generally short-term in nature. The company believes its foreign
exchange contracts do not subject the company to risk from exchange rate
movements because gains and losses on these contracts are designed to offset
losses and gains on the net monetary asset position being hedged. Net foreign
currency gains and losses have not been material. As of December 25, 1994, the
company had approximately $33 million (notional amount) in foreign exchange
forward contracts (see Notes 1, 2, and 3 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements).
In 1994, approximately 15 percent of the company's net sales were
denominated in foreign currencies. The company does not have sales denominated
in local currencies in those countries which have highly inflationary economies.
The impact on the company's operating results from changes in foreign currency
rates individually and in the aggregate has not been material.
The company has engaged in interest rate swaps primarily to reduce its
interest rate exposure by changing a portion of the company's interest rate
exposure from a floating rate to a fixed rate basis. At the end of 1994, the net
outstanding notional amount of interest rate swaps was $40 million, which will
mature in 1997. Gains and losses related to these interest rate swaps have been
immaterial (see Notes 1, 2, and 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
The company primarily addresses market risk by participating as an end-user
in various derivative markets to manage its exposure to interest and foreign
currency exchange rate fluctuations. The counterparties to the company's foreign
exchange forward contracts, foreign currency options, and interest rate swaps
consist of a number of major high credit quality international financial
institutions. The company does not believe that there is significant risk of
nonperformance by these counterparties because the company continually monitors
the credit ratings of such counterparties and limits the financial exposure and
the amount of agreements entered into with any one financial institution.
FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL
CONDITION
The semiconductor industry is generally characterized by a highly
competitive and rapidly changing environment in which operating results are
often subject to the effects of new product introductions, manufacturing
technology innovations, rapid fluctuations in product demand, and the
ability to maintain and secure intellectual property rights. While the
company attempts to identify and respond to these changes as soon as
possible, the rapidity of their onset makes prediction of and reaction to
such events an ongoing challenge.
The company believes that its future results of operations and financial
condition could be impacted by any of the following factors: market acceptance
and timing of new products; continued market acceptance of personal computer
industry standards applicable to the company's products; trends in the personal
computer marketplace; capacity constraints; intense price competition;
interruption in procuring needed manufacturing materials; and changes in
domestic and international economic conditions.
The company's microproccessor products, and more specifically the company's
current generation of 486 microprocessors, have significantly contributed, and
are expected to significantly contribute in 1995 to the company's revenues,
margins and profits. The company's 486 microprocessors are re-engineered
versions of 486 microprocessors originally developed by Intel, and contain and
use, under license with Intel, its 486 microcode. The company's next generation
superscalar RISC-based K86(TM) products are being designed to be Microsoft(R)
Windows(R)-compatible and compete with Intel's post-486 generations of X86
microprocessors including the Pentium and the P6.
8 ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL
CONDITION
The company's K86 products will not be re-engineered versions of microprocessors
developed by Intel, and pursuant to the settlement agreement with Intel the
company does not have the right to use Intel microcodes in AMD product
generations following the 486. There can be no assurance that the company will
be able to introduce its K86 products in a timely manner to meet competition,
that these microprocessors will not face severe price competition, or that
superior competitive products will not be introduced. There can be no assurance
that the K86 products will achieve market acceptance or desired operating
results, including but not limited to profitability. Any such failure could
adversely affect the company's future operations.
The company has entered into a number of licenses and cross-licenses
relating to several of the company's products. As is common in the semiconductor
industry, from time to time the company has been notified that it may be
infringing other parties' patents or copyrights. While patent and copyright
owners in such instances often express a willingness to resolve the dispute or
grant a license, no assurance can be given that all necessary licenses will be
honored or obtained on satisfactory terms, nor that the ultimate resolution of
any material dispute concerning the company's present or future products will
not have an adverse impact on the company's future results of operations or
financial condition.
Due to the factors noted above, the company's future operations, financial
condition, and stock price may be subject to volatility. In addition, an actual
or anticipated shortfall in revenue, gross margins, or earnings from securities
analysts' expectations could have an immediate adverse effect on the trading
price of the company's common stock in any given period.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments decreased by $110.3
million from 1993 to 1994. This decrease was primarily attributable to
investments in expanding manufacturing capacity both directly through
additional property, plant, and equipment, and indirectly through the FASL
joint venture. The company also paid $34 million in settlement of a
securities class action. The company plans to continue to make significant
capital investments in 1995.
Working capital decreased by $115.1 million from $509.6 million in 1993 to
$394.5 million in 1994. This decrease was primarily due to lower cash, cash
equivalents, and short-term investments resulting from capital acquisitions, and
secondarily due to a liability recorded for the Intel settlement. The payment of
this litigation liability is expected to be made in the first half of 1995.
In 1993, the company commenced construction of its 700,000 square-foot
submicron semiconductor manufacturing complex in Austin, Texas. Known as Fab 25,
the new facility is expected to cost approximately $1.3 billion when fully
equipped. The first phase of construction and initial equipment installation is
expected to cost approximately $700 million through 1995, of which approximately
$400 million was incurred through 1994. Volume production is presently scheduled
to begin in late 1995.
The company and Fujitsu Limited are cooperating in building and operating
an approximately $800 million wafer fabrication facility in Aizu-Wakamatsu,
Japan, through their joint venture (FASL). Each company will contribute equally
toward funding and supporting FASL. AMD is expected to contribute approximately
half of its share of funding in cash and may be required to guarantee third-
party loans made to FASL for the remaining half. However, to the extent debt
cannot be secured by FASL, AMD is required to contribute its portion in cash.
The company is also required under the terms of the joint venture to contribute
approximately one-half of any additional amounts as may be necessary to sustain
FASL's operations. At the end of 1994, the company's total cash investment in
FASL was $142.3 million as compared to $3.2 million at the end of 1993. The
company anticipates that this investment will increase to approximately $162
million by the end of 1995. Volume production is presently scheduled to commence
in the second half of 1995.
The joint venture costs are denominated in yen and therefore are subject to
change due to fluctuations of foreign exchange rates. Therefore, the company
enters into foreign currency options to hedge its firm commitments relating to
the company's FASL investment. The maturities of these currency options are
generally less than six months. As of December 25, 1994, the company held
approximately $13 million (notional amount) in foreign currency options (see
Notes 1, 2, and 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
As of the end of 1994, the company had the following financing
arrangements: unsecured committed bank lines of credit of $250 million,
unutilized; long-term secured equipment lease lines of $110 million, of which
$107 million were utilized; and short-term, unsecured uncommitted bank credit in
the amount of $128 million, of which $32 million was utilized. On January 5,
1995, the company obtained a $150 million four-year term loan from a consortium
of eight commercial banks.
The company's current capital plan and requirements are based on various
product-mix, selling-price and unit-demand assumptions and are, therefore,
subject to revision due to future market conditions.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL
CONDITION
On May 25, 1994, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective
the company's shelf registration statement covering up to $400 million of
its securities, which may be either debt securities, preferred stock,
depositary shares representing fractions of shares of preferred stock,
common stock, warrants to purchase common stock, or any combination of the
foregoing which the company may offer from time to time in the future. The
nature and terms of the securities will be established at the time of their
sale. The company may offer the securities through underwriters to be named
in the future, through agents or otherwise. The net proceeds of any
offering will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include the
reduction of outstanding indebtedness, working capital increases and
capital expenditures. To date, the company has not offered or sold any
securities registered under the $400 million registration statement.
On February 10, 1995, the company called for redemption of all outstanding
shares of its $30.00 Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock (the "Preferred
Shares") on March 13, 1995 (the "Redemption Date"); and pursuant to the
provisions of a depositary agreement between the company and The First National
Bank of Boston as Depositary, the Depositary called for redemption, on the
Redemption Date, all of the outstanding Depositary Convertible Exchangeable
Preferred Shares (the "Depositary Shares"), each representing one-tenth of a
Preferred Share. The redemption price is $50.90 per Depositary Share, plus $.73
of accrued and unpaid dividends from December 15, 1994 to the Redemption Date.
Each group of ten Depositary Shares, representing one whole share of
Preferred Stock, is convertible, at the option of the holders, into 19.873
shares of common stock of the company at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern
Standard Time on the Redemption Date. No accrued dividends will be paid in
respect of any Depositary Shares which are converted. If fewer than all of the
outstanding Depositary Shares are properly surrendered for conversion, the
company has arranged for Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation and
Salomon Brothers Inc. to purchase directly from the company up to such whole
number of shares of common stock as would have been issuable upon the conversion
of any Depositary Shares not surrendered for conversion. The proceeds from any
such sale will be used by the company to redeem the Depositary Shares which are
not surrendered for conversion.
The company believes that cash flows from operations and current cash
balances, together with current and anticipated available long-term financing,
will be sufficient to fund operations, capital investments, and research and
development projects currently planned for the foreseeable future.

ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES, INC. 13
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 25, 1994, December 26, 1993, and December 27, 1992
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Fiscal year. Advanced Micro Devices' fiscal year ends on the last Sunday in
December, which resulted in a 52-week year ended December 25, 1994. This
compares with a 52-week fiscal year for 1993 and 1992, which ended on December
26 and 27, respectively.
Principles of consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Upon
consolidation, all significant intercompany accounts and transactions are
eliminated.
Foreign currency translation. The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for the
company's wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries. Translation adjustments, resulting
from the process of translating foreign currency financial statements into U.S.
dollars, are included in operations. The functional currency of the company's
unconsolidated joint venture is the Japanese yen. Translation adjustments
relating to the translation of these statements have not been material, and
therefore, are not included as a separate component of stockholders' equity.
Cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist of financial instruments which are
readily convertible to cash and have original maturities of three months or less
at the time of acquisition.
Investments. Effective December 27, 1993, the company adopted the Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 (SFAS No. 115), "Accounting for Certain
Instruments in Debt and Equity Securities." Accordingly, the company has
classified its marketable debt and equity securities into held-to-maturity and
available-for-sale categories. Securities classified as held-to-maturity are
reported at amortized cost and available-for-sale securities are reported at
fair market value with unrealized gains and losses included in retained
earnings. Realized gains and losses and declines in value of securities judged
to be other-than-temporary are included in interest income and other, net.
Interest and dividends on all securities are included in interest income and
other, net.
Investments with maturities between three and twelve months are considered
short-term investments. Short-term investments consist of debt securities such
as commercial paper, time deposits, certificates of deposit, bankers'
acceptances, and marketable direct obligations of the United States Treasury.
Foreign exchange forward contracts. Foreign exchange forward contracts are used
to hedge the company's net monetary asset positions in its foreign subsidiaries.
Realized gains and losses from these hedges are included in operations. Premiums
and discounts, if any, are amortized over the life of the contract and included
in operations.
Foreign currency options. Foreign currency options are used to hedge firm
commitments with respect to the company's joint venture investment (FASL).
Realized gains and losses from these hedges are deferred and included in
other assets or other liabilities, respectively. They are recognized in
operations in the same period as the hedged transactions. Premiums and
discounts, if any, are amortized over the life of the contract and included
in operations.
Interest rate swaps. The company enters into interest rate swaps primarily
to reduce its interest rate exposure by changing a portion of the company's
interest rate exposure from a floating rate to a fixed rate basis.
The differential between fixed and floating rates to be paid or received is
accrued and recognized as an adjustment to interest expense. Accordingly, the
related amount payable to or receivable from counterparties is included in other
current assets or accrued liabilities.
Additional disclosures regarding financial instruments, including SFAS No.
119, "Disclosure about Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value of
Financial Instruments," are included in Notes 2 and 3 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.
Inventories. Inventories are stated principally at standard cost adjusted
to approximate the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market
(net realizable value).
Property, plant, and equipment. Property, plant, and equipment is stated at
cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided principally on the
straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and on accelerated
methods for tax purposes.
Investment in joint venture. In 1993, the company and Fujitsu Limited
established a joint venture, Fujitsu AMD Semiconductor Limited (FASL).
AMD's share of FASL is 49.95 percent and the investment is being accounted
for under the equity method. In 1994, the amount invested in FASL was
$139.2 million, and the company's share of net loss during 1994 was $10.6
million, offset by income tax savings of approximately $5.7 million.
Pursuant to a cross-equity provision between AMD and Fujitsu Limited, the
company purchased $12.7 million of Fujitsu Limited shares, with certain
resale restrictions. Under the same provision, Fujitsu Limited has
purchased 2 million shares of AMD common stock, and is required to purchase
an additional 2.5 million shares over the next several years, for a total
investment not to exceed $100 million.

Deferred income on shipments to distributors. A portion of sales is made to
distributors under terms allowing certain rights of return and price protection
on unsold merchandise held by the distributors. These agreements can be canceled
by either party upon written notice, at which time the company generally
repurchases unsold inventory. Accordingly, recognition of sales to distributors
and related gross profits are deferred until the merchandise is resold by the
distributors.
Income taxes. Effective December 28, 1992, the company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS No. 109), "Accounting for Income
Taxes."
Net income per common share. Primary net income per common share is based upon
weighted average common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding using
the treasury stock method. Dilutive common equivalent shares include stock
options and restricted stock. Fully diluted net income per common share is
computed using the weighted average common and dilutive common equivalent shares
outstanding, plus other dilutive shares outstanding which are not common
equivalent shares. Other dilutive shares which are not common equivalent shares
include convertible preferred stock.
Financial presentation. Certain prior year amounts on the Consolidated Financial
Statements have been reclassified to conform to the 1994 presentation.

2. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk.
As part of the company's asset and liability management, the company enters
into various types of transactions that involve financial instruments with
off-balance-sheet risk. These instruments are entered into in order to
manage financial market risk, including interest rate and foreign exchange
risk. The notional values, carrying amounts and fair values are tabled
below.
Foreign exchange forward contracts. The company enters into foreign
exchange forward contracts to buy and sell currencies as economic hedges of
its net monetary asset positions in its foreign subsidiaries. The hedging
transactions in 1994 were denominated in lira, yen, French franc, deutsche
mark, and pound sterling. The maturities of these contracts are generally
less than six months.
Foreign currency options. The joint venture (FASL) investments are
denominated in yen, and therefore, are subject to exposure due to
fluctuations in yen exchange rate. Thus, the company hedges its exposures
on certain firm commitments relating to the FASL investment with foreign
currency options denominated in yen. The maturities of these options are
generally less than six months.
Interest rate swaps. The company engaged in interest rate swaps primarily
to reduce its interest rate exposure on its building lease obligations.
These interest rate swaps generally involve the payment of a fixed interest
rate based on three to five year swap rates and the receipt of a floating
interest rate based on six months LIBOR without exchanges of the underlying
notional amounts. These interest rate swaps will mature in 1997.
Fair value of financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk.
The estimates of fair value were obtained using prevailing financial market
information as of December 25, 1994. In certain instances where judgment is
required in estimating fair value, price quotes were obtained from certain
of the company's counterparty financial institutions.

Fair value of other financial instruments.
The carrying value of short-term debt approximates fair value due to its
short-term maturity. The fair value for long-term debt was estimated using
discounted cash flow analysis based on estimated interest rates for similar
types of borrowing arrangements.

Since held-to-maturity securities are short-term in nature, changes in
market interest rates would not have a significant impact on fair value of
these securities. These securities are carried at amortized cost which
approximates fair value.
As of December 25, 1994, included in other assets, the company held $9.4
million of available-for-sale equity securities with fair value of $18.5
million. The net unrealized holding gain of $9.1 million on these equity
securities is included in retained earnings since it is immaterial.
As of December 25, 1994, the company did not own any securities classified
as trading.
3. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments that potentially subject the company to
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents, short-
term investments, trade receivables and financial instruments used in
hedging activities.
The company places its cash equivalents and short-term investments with
high credit quality financial institutions and, by policy, limits the amount of
credit exposure with any one financial institution. Investments in time deposits
and certificates of deposit are acquired from banks having combined capital,
surplus, and undistributed profits of not less than $200 million. Investments in
commercial paper of industrial firms and financial institutions are rated A1, P1
or better.
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited
because a large number of geographically diverse customers make up the company's
customer base, thus spreading the trade credit risk. The company controls credit
risk through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. The
company performs in depth credit evaluations for all new customers and requires
letters of credit, bank guarantees and advance payments, if deemed necessary.
Bad debt expenses have not been material.
The counterparties to the agreements relating to the company's foreign
exchange and interest rate instruments consist of a number of major high credit
quality international financial institutions. The company does not believe that
there is significant risk of nonperformance by these counterparties because the
company continually monitors the credit ratings of such counterparties, and
limits the financial exposure and the amount of agreements entered into with any
one financial institution. While the notional amounts of financial instruments
are often used to express the volume of these transactions, the potential
accounting loss on these transactions if all counterparties failed to perform is
limited to the amounts, if any, by which the counterparties' obligations under
the contracts exceed the obligations of the company to the counterparties.

5. SERIAL PREFERRED STOCK
In March 1987, the company sold 345,000 shares of Convertible Exchangeable
Preferred Stock, $.10 par value. Dividends at an annual rate of $30 per share
(6 percent) on the preferred stock are cumulative from the date of original
issue and are payable quarterly in arrears, when and as declared by the
company's Board of Directors. Voluntary and involuntary liquidation value of
each preferred share is approximately $500 plus unpaid dividends. The preferred
stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into common stock
at the initial conversion rate of 19.873 common shares for each pre-
ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES, INC. 17
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
ferred share. The preferred stock is exchangeable at the option of the company,
in whole but not in part, on any dividend payment date commencing March 15,
1989, for 6 percent Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2012 at the rate of
$500 principal amount of debentures for each preferred share. If exchanged,
commencing the first March 15 following the date of initial issuance of the
debentures, the company is required to make annual payments into a sinking fund
to provide for the redemption of the debentures.
The preferred stock is redeemable for cash at any time at the option of the
company, in whole or in part, at prices declining to approximately $500 per
share at March 15, 1997, plus unpaid dividends. Holders of preferred stock are
entitled to limited voting rights under certain conditions.
The preferred stock is held by a depositary and 3,450,000 depositary
shares, which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, have been issued and
3,448,620 shares were outstanding as of December 25, 1994. Each depositary
share represents one-tenth of a preferred share, with the holder entitled,
proportionately, to all the rights and preferences of the underlying
preferred stock.
On February 10, 1995, the company called for redemption of all outstanding
shares of its preferred stock on March 13, 1995. The redemption price is $50.90
per depositary share, plus $.73 of accrued and unpaid dividends from December
15, 1994 to the redemption date. Each group of ten depositary shares,
representing one whole share of preferred stock, is convertible into 19.873
shares of the company's common stock at any time prior to the redemption date.
If fewer than all of the outstanding depositary shares are surrendered for
conversion, the company has arranged for certain institutions to purchase
directly from the company the whole number of shares of common stock as would
have been issuable upon the conversion of any depositary shares not surrendered
for conversion. The proceeds from any such sale will be used by the company to
redeem the depositary shares which are not surrendered for conversion.
6. STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN
In February 1990, the company adopted a stockholder rights plan. In
accordance with this plan, the company declared a dividend distribution of
preferred stock purchase rights at the rate of one right for each share of
common stock held as of the close of business on February 20, 1990.
Each right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the company a
unit consisting of one-thousandth of a share of Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock, par value $.10 per share, at a purchase price of $65, subject
to adjustment.
The rights will not be exercisable, or transferable apart from the common
stock, until certain events occur. The rights are redeemable by the company and
expire on December 31, 2000.
At a meeting on February 16, 1995, the Board of Directors of the company
authorized and directed a committee of its members to cause the company to
redeem the preferred stock purchase rights under the Stockholders Rights Plan
at a time to be determined by the committee, subject to the right of the
committee to request that the Board reconsider its action should a change in
circumstances occur. No decision concerning the date of the planned redemption
has been announced.

No provision has been made for income taxes on approximately $231.5 million of
cumulative undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries because it is
the company's intention to permanently invest such earnings. If such earnings
were distributed, additional taxes of $81.0 million would accrue.
The company's Far East assembly and test plants in Singapore and Thailand
are operated under various tax holidays which expire in whole or in part during
1996 and 1998. Possible extensions of the holiday period, as well as other tax
incentives, are anticipated to result in minimal tax liabilities in these
countries through 1998. The net impact of these tax holidays was an increase of
net income of approximately $5.2 million ($.05 per share) in 1994.
8. DEBT
The company has certain debt agreements that contain provisions regarding
restrictions on cash dividends, maintenance of specified working capital and
net worth levels, and specific financial ratio requirements. At December 25,
1994, the company was in compliance with all restrictive covenants of such
debt agreements and all retained earnings were restricted as to payments of
cash dividends on common stock.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Sales to unaffiliated customers are based on the company location. Transfers
between geographic areas consist of products and services that are sold at
amounts generally above cost and are consistent with governing tax regulations.
Operating income is total sales less operating expenses. Identifiable assets are
those assets used in each geographic area. Export sales are United States
foreign direct sales to unaffiliated customers primarily in Europe and Asia.
12. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
Stock option plans. The company has several stock option plans under which key
employees have been granted incentive (ISOs) and nonqualified (NSOs) stock
options to purchase the company's common stock. Generally, options are
exercisable within four years from the date of grant and expire five to ten
years after the date of grant. ISOs granted under the plans have exercise prices
of not less than 100 percent of the fair market value of the common stock at the
date of grant. Exercise prices of NSOs may not be less than 50 percent of the
fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant. At December 25,
1994, 2,795 employees were eligible and participating in the plans.
The following is a summary of stock option exercises.

Stock appreciation rights plans. The company maintains three stock
appreciation rights plans under which stock appreciation rights (SARs) either
have been or may be granted to key employees. The number of SARs exercised
plus common stock issued under the stock option plans may not exceed the
number of shares authorized under the stock option plans. SARs may be granted
in tandem with outstanding stock options, in tandem with future stock option
grants or independently of any stock options. Generally, the terms of SARs
granted under the plans are similar to those of options granted under the
stock option plans, including exercise prices, exercise dates and expiration
dates. To date, the company has granted only limited SARs, which become
exercisable only in the event of certain changes in control of the company.
Stock purchase plan. The company has a stock purchase plan that allows
participating employees to purchase, through payroll deductions, shares of
the company's common stock at 85 percent of the fair market value at
specified dates. At December 25, 1994, 6,038 employees were eligible to
participate in the plan and 948,778 common shares remained available for
issuance under the plan. A summary of stock purchased under the plan is shown

contributions were $57.0 million in 1994, $33.9 million in 1993 and $30.0
million in 1992.
Retirement savings plan. The company has a retirement savings plan, commonly
known as a 401(k) plan, that allows participating United States employees to
contribute from 1 percent to 15 percent of their pre-tax salary subject to
I.R.S. limits. The company makes a matching contribution calculated at 50 cents
on each dollar of the first 3 percent of participant contributions, to a
maximum of 1.5 percent of eligible compensation. The company's contributions
to the 401(k) plan were $3.7 million, $3.2 million and $2.7 million for 1994,

14. CONTINGENCIES
I. AMD/Intel Litigations.
On January 11, 1995, the company and Intel Corporation reached an agreement to
settle all previously outstanding legal disputes between the two companies. The
major terms of the settlement are: (1) AMD will have a fully paid-up,
nonexclusive, world-wide, royalty-free, perpetual license to copy and distribute
the microcode and control code in the Intel287(TM), Intel386(TM) and
Intel486(TM) microprocessor product families. (2) AMD agreed that it has no
right to copy any other Intel microcode including the Pentium(TM) Processor, the
P6 microcode and the 486 ICE (in-circuit emulation) microcode. (3) The companies
agreed to negotiate a new patent cross-license agreement to become effective
January 1, 1996. (4) AMD agreed to pay Intel $58 million in settlement of claims
for past damages related to AMD's distribution of Am486 microprocessors
containing Intel's 486 ICE microcode. As ordered in a 1992 arbitration between
the companies, Intel will pay AMD approximately $18 million in damages (which
includes interest) awarded by the arbitrator for breach of contract and will not
contest certain rights granted AMD in the arbitration. The company recorded both
the ICE case damages and the arbitration award in 1994. (5) Intel and AMD will
drop all cases against each other, including appeals, currently pending in the
courts. (6) AMD will have the right to use foundries for Am486 products
containing Intel microcode for up to 20 percent of annual total unit shipments
of Am486 microprocessors. (7) AMD and its customers will receive a license for
Intel's "Crawford `338" patent, covering memory management. (8) The two
companies agreed not to initiate legal action against one another for any
activity occurring prior to January 6, 1995.
II. Shareholders and Securities Class Actions.
During 1994, the company reached an agreement to settle the securities class
action lawsuits and stockholder's derivative action. The net cost of the
settlements was approximately $33 million.
III. SEC Investigation.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has notified the company that it is
conducting an informal investigation of the company concerning the company's
disclosures relating to the development of microcode for one of its Am486
products. The company is cooperating fully with the SEC.
IV. Environmental Matters.
A. Clean Up Orders. Since 1981, the company has discovered, investigated and
begun remediation of three sites where releases from underground chemical tanks
at its facilities in Santa Clara County, California adversely affected the
groundwater. The chemicals released into the groundwater were commonly in use in
the semiconductor
ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES, INC. 23
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
industry in the wafer fabrication process prior to 1979. At least one of the
released chemicals (which is no longer used by the company) has been identified
as a probable carcinogen.
In 1991, the company received four Final Site Clean-up Requirements Orders
from the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, San Francisco Bay
Region ("RWQCB") relating to the three sites. The orders named the company as
well as TRW Microwave, Inc., and Philips Semiconductor, (formerly Signetics
Corporation) in various combinations and degrees of responsibility.
A notice dated October 3, 1994 was received by the company from the
Department of Ecology of the State of Washington indicating that the Department
had determined the corporation to be a potentially liable person for the release
of hazardous substances on a site located in Yakima, Washington. The company is
currently investigating this claim.
The company has not yet determined to what extent the costs of any related
remedial actions will be covered by insurance. The three sites in Santa Clara
County are on the National Priorities List (Superfund). If the company fails to
satisfy federal compliance requirements or inadequately performs the compliance
measures, the government (a) can bring an action to enforce compliance, or (b)
can undertake the desired response actions itself and later bring an action to
recover its costs, and penalties, which is up to three times the costs of clean-
up activities, if appropriate. Certain class actions related to this matter have
been settled or the statute of limitations has been tolled. It is expected that
the foregoing environmental matters or any related litigation will not have a
material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of
the company.
V. Other matters.
The company is a defendant or plaintiff in various other actions which arose
in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate
disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the
financial condition or results of operations of the company.
15. SHELF REGISTRATION STATEMENT
On May 25, 1994, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective the
company's shelf registration statement covering up to $400 million of its
securities, which may be either debt securities, preferred stock, depositary
shares representing fractions of shares of preferred stock, common stock,
warrants to purchase common stock, or any combination of the foregoing which the
company may offer from time to time in the future. The nature and terms of the
securities will be established at the time of their sale. The company may offer
the securities through underwriters to be named in the future, through agents or
otherwise. The net proceeds of any offering will be used for general corporate
purposes, which may include the reduction of outstanding indebtedness, working
capital increases, and capital expenditures. To date, the company has not
offered or sold any securities registered under the $400 million registration
statement.
