2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
all of its wholly owned subsidiaries. Upon consolidation, all significant
intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. The Company's fiscal year
ends on the Saturday closest to the last day in October. Fiscal years 1999, 1998
and 1997 were each 52-week years.

Certain amounts reported in previous years have been reclassified to conform to
the 1999 presentation, such reclassifications were immaterial.

b. CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND INVESTMENTS

Cash and cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with insignificant
interest rate risk and maturities of three months or less at the time of
acquisition. Investments with maturities between three and twelve months at time
of acquisition are considered short-term investments. Cash, cash equivalents and
short-term investments consist primarily of commercial paper, but also include
certificates of deposit, bank time deposits, institutional money market funds
and bankers' acceptances. Long-term investments consist of mutual funds and bank
money market funds that are acquired to generate returns that offset changes in
certain liabilities related to deferred compensation arrangements, as well as
equity securities.

The Company classifies its investments in readily marketable debt and equity
securities as "held-to-maturity," "available-for-sale" and "trading" at the time
of purchase and such designation is evaluated as of each balance sheet date.
Held-to-maturity securities, which are carried at amortized cost, include only
those securities the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to
maturity. Securities, such as bank time deposits, which by their nature are
typically held to maturity, are classified as such. The Company's other readily
marketable investments are classified as either available-for-sale or trading.
Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains
and losses, net of related tax, if any, reported as a separate component of
stockholders' equity. Realized gains and losses, as well as interest, dividends
and capital gains distributions on all securities, are included in earnings.

                              ANALOG DEVICES, INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Cash equivalents and short-term investments classified as available-for-sale
were $707 million and $241 million at October 30, 1999 and October 31, 1998,
respectively and those classified as held-to-maturity were $28 million and $42
million at October 30, 1999 and October 31, 1998, respectively. All of these
securities have contractual maturities of twelve months or less at time of
acquisition. Because of the short term to maturity, and hence relative price
insensitivity to changes in market interest rates, amortized cost approximates
fair value for all of these securities. As such, no realized or unrealized gains
or losses were recorded during each of these years.

Long-term investments classified as trading were $59 million and $30 million at
October 30, 1999 and October 31, 1998, respectively and were based on published
market quotes on October 29, 1999 and October 30, 1998. Gross realized and
unrealized gains and losses from trading securities were not material in fiscal
1999, fiscal 1998 and fiscal 1997. There was approximately $27 million and $0 at
October 30, 1999 and October 31, 1998, respectively, of long-term investments
classified as available-for-sale. Gross unrealized gains were not material in
fiscal 1999 and fiscal 1998. There were no long-term investments classified as
held-to-maturity at October 30, 1999 and October 31, 1998.


c. ADDITIONAL CASH FLOW STATEMENT INFORMATION

The Company's non-cash financing activities consisted solely of the conversion
of its 3-1/2% Convertible Subordinated Notes into common stock as described in
Note 9.

d. INVENTORIES

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or
market. Inventories at October 30, 1999 and October 31, 1998 were as follows:



                                       1999                   1998

     Total inventories              $  248,936             $  275,076
                                    ==========             ==========



e. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost less allowances for
depreciation and amortization. The straight-line method of depreciation is used
for all classes of assets for financial statement purposes; both straight-line
and accelerated methods are used for income tax purposes. Capitalized leases and
leasehold improvements are amortized based upon the lesser of the term of the
lease or the useful life of the asset. Depreciation and amortization are based
on the following useful lives:


                                                 
      Buildings & Building Equipment                 Up to 25 years
      Machinery & Equipment                              3-10 years
      Office Equipment                                    3-8 years


Total depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment was
$138,530,000, $124,735,000 and $101,432,000 in fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. Property, plant and equipment included $75,034,000 and $75,006,000
of capitalized leases in 1999 and 1998, net of $35,588,000 and $23,679,000
respectively, of accumulated depreciation.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

f. GRANT ACCOUNTING

The Company's manufacturing facility in Limerick, Ireland has received various
grants from the Industrial Development Authority of the Republic of Ireland.
These grants include capital, employment and research and development grants.
Capital grants for the acquisition of property and equipment are netted against
the related capital expenditures and amortized as a credit to depreciation
expense over the useful life of the related asset. Employment grants, which
relate to employee hiring and training, and research and development grants are
recognized in earnings in the period in which the related expenditures are
incurred by the Company.

g. TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN CURRENCIES

The functional currency for the Company's foreign sales operations is the
applicable local currency. Gains and losses resulting from translation of these
foreign currencies into U.S. dollars are accumulated in a separate component of
stockholders' equity. Transaction gains and losses are included in income
currently, including those at the Company's principal foreign manufacturing
operations where the functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Foreign currency
transaction gains or losses included in other expenses, net, were not material
in fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997.

h. FOREIGN CURRENCY INSTRUMENTS AND INTEREST RATE AGREEMENTS

The Company enters into forward foreign exchange contracts, foreign currency
option contracts and currency swap agreements to offset certain operational and
balance sheet exposures from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Such
exposures result from the portion of the Company's operations, assets and
liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar,
primarily Japanese yen and European currencies. These foreign exchange contract,
option and swap transactions are entered into to support product sales,
purchases and financing transactions made in the normal course of business, and
accordingly, are not speculative in nature.

Forward foreign exchange contracts are utilized to manage the risk associated
with currency fluctuations on certain firm sales and purchase commitments
denominated in foreign currencies and certain non-U.S. dollar denominated asset
and liability positions. The Company's forward foreign exchange contracts are
primarily denominated in Japanese yen and certain European currencies and are
for periods consistent with the terms of the underlying transactions, generally
one year or less. The forward foreign exchange contracts that relate to firm,
foreign currency sales and purchase commitments are designated and effective as
hedges of firm, identifiable foreign currency commitments, and accordingly, the
gains and losses resulting from the impact of currency exchange rate movements
on these contracts are not recognized in operations until the underlying hedged
transactions are recognized. Upon recognition, such gains and losses are
recorded in operations as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the underlying
transactions in the period in which these transactions are recognized.
Unrealized gains and losses resulting from the impact of currency exchange rate
movements on forward foreign exchange contracts designated to offset certain
non-U.S. dollar denominated assets and liabilities are recognized as other
income or expense in the period in which the exchange rates change and offset
the foreign currency gains and losses on the underlying exposures being hedged.
The contract amounts of forward foreign exchange contracts outstanding were $178
million and $140 million at October 30, 1999 and October 31, 1998, respectively.

The Company also may periodically enter into foreign currency option contracts
to offset certain probable anticipated, but not firmly committed, foreign
currency transactions related to the sale of product during the ensuing nine
months. When the dollar strengthens significantly against the foreign
currencies, the decline in value of future currency cash flows is partially
offset by the gains in value of the purchased currency options designated as
hedges. Conversely, when the dollar weakens, the increase in value of future
foreign currency cash flows is reduced only by the premium paid to acquire the
options. The Company's foreign currency option contracts are primarily
denominated in Japanese yen and generally have maturities that do not exceed six
months. These foreign currency option contracts are designated and effective as
hedges of anticipated foreign currency sales transactions, and accordingly, the
premium cost and any realized gains associated with these contracts are deferred
and included in the consolidated balance sheet as prepaid expenses and accrued
liabilities, respectively, until such time as the underlying sales transactions
are recognized. Upon recognition, such premium costs and any realized gains are
recorded in sales as a component of the underlying sales transactions being
hedged. The contract amounts of foreign currency option contracts outstanding
were $39 million and

                              ANALOG DEVICES, INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

$26 million, at October 30, 1999 and October 31, 1998, respectively. Deferred
gains or losses attributable to foreign currency option contracts were not
material at October 30, 1999 and October 31, 1998.

The Company uses currency swap agreements to hedge the value of its net
investment in certain of its foreign subsidiaries. Realized and unrealized gains
and losses on such agreements related to the net foreign investment being hedged
are recognized in the cumulative translation adjustment component of
stockholders' equity, with the related amounts due to or from counterparties
included in accrued liabilities or other current assets. The contract amount of
currency swap agreements outstanding, which were principally denominated in
Japanese yen, was $10 million at October 30, 1999 and October 31, 1998. The
currency swap agreement outstanding at October 30, 1999 has a remaining maturity
of 4 months and is expected to remain in effect until expiration.

The Company enters into interest rate swap and cap agreements to manage its
exposure to interest rate movements by effectively converting a portion of its
debt and certain financing arrangements from fixed to variable rates. Maturity
dates of interest rate swap and cap agreements generally match those of the
underlying debt or financing arrangements. These agreements, which have
maturities of up to eight years, involve the exchange of fixed rate payments for
variable rate payments without the exchange of the underlying principal amounts.
Variable rates are based on six-month U.S. dollar LIBOR and are reset on a
semiannual basis. The differential between fixed and variable rates to be paid
or received is accrued as interest rates change in accordance with the
agreements and recognized over the life of the agreements as an adjustment to
interest expense. The notional principal amounts of interest rate swap and cap
agreements outstanding were approximately $50 million at October 30, 1999 and
October 31, 1998.

The cash requirements of the above-described financial instruments approximate
their fair value. Cash flows associated with these financial instruments are
classified consistent with the cash flows from the transactions being hedged.

Derivative financial instruments involve, to a varying degree, elements of
market and credit risk not recognized in the consolidated financial statements.
The market risk associated with these instruments resulting from currency
exchange rate or interest rate movements is expected to offset the market risk
of the underlying transactions, assets and liabilities being hedged. The
counterparties to the agreements relating to the Company's foreign exchange and
interest rate instruments consist of a number of major international financial
institutions with high credit ratings. 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 contract or notional amounts of derivative
financial instruments provide one measure of the volume of these transactions,
they do not represent the amount of the Company's exposure to credit risk. The
amounts potentially subject to credit risk (arising from the possible inability
of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts) are generally limited to
the amounts, if any, by which the counterparties' obligations under the
contracts exceed the obligations of the Company to the counterparties.

i. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company
using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies.
However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to
develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein
are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in
a current market exchange.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its
fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments-The carrying amounts of these
items are a reasonable estimate of their fair value due to the short term to
maturity and readily available market for these types of investments.

Long-term investments-The fair value of long-term investments is based on quoted
market values.

Short-term borrowings-The carrying amounts of these variable-rate borrowings
approximate fair value due to the short period of time to maturity.

Long-term debt-The fair value of long-term debt is estimated based on current
interest rates available to the Company for debt instruments with similar terms,
degrees of risk and remaining maturities.

Interest rate swap and cap agreements-The fair value of interest rate swap and
cap agreements is obtained from dealer quotes. These values represent the
estimated amount the Company would receive or pay to terminate the agreements
taking into consideration current interest rates.

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts-The estimated fair value of forward
foreign currency exchange contracts is based on the estimated amount at which
they could be settled based on forward market exchange rates.

Foreign currency option contracts and currency swap agreements-The fair values
of foreign currency option contracts and currency swap agreements are obtained
from dealer quotes. These values represent the estimated net amount the Company
would receive or pay to terminate the agreements.

j. USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates relate to
the useful lives of fixed assets, allowances for doubtful accounts and customer
returns, inventory reserves, potential reserves relating to litigation matters,
accrued liabilities and other reserves. Actual results could differ from those
estimates, and such differences may be material to the financial statements.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

k. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of
credit risk consist principally of investments and trade accounts receivable.

The Company maintains cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments with
high credit quality financial institutions and monitors the amount of credit
exposure to any one financial institution.

The Company sells its products to distributors and original equipment
manufacturers involved in a variety of industries including industrial
automation, instrumentation, military/aerospace and, to an increasing degree,
communications, computers and peripherals, and high-performance consumer
electronics. The Company has adopted credit policies and standards to
accommodate growth in these markets. The Company performs continuing credit
evaluations of its customers' financial condition and although the Company
generally does not require collateral, letters of credit may be required from
its customers in certain circumstances. Reserves are provided for estimated
amounts of accounts receivable that may not be collected.

l. CONCENTRATION OF OTHER RISKS

The semiconductor industry is characterized by rapid technological change,
competitive pricing pressures and cyclical market patterns. The Company's
financial results are affected by a wide variety of factors, including general
economic conditions worldwide, economic conditions specific to the semiconductor
industry, the timely implementation of new manufacturing technologies, the
ability to safeguard patents and intellectual property in a rapidly evolving
market and reliance on assembly and test subcontractors, third-party wafer
fabricators and independent distributors. In addition, the semiconductor market
has historically been cyclical and subject to significant economic downturns at
various times. The Company is exposed to the risk of obsolescence of its
inventory depending on the mix of future business. As a result, the Company may
experience significant period-to-period fluctuations in future operating results
due to the factors mentioned above or other factors.

m. REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue from product sales to end users is recognized upon shipment. As further
explained in Note 5, commencing in 1998, revenue on shipments to all
distributors is deferred until products are resold by the distributors to end
users. Prior to 1998, revenue on most shipments to domestic distributors was
deferred until resale to end users because arrangements with these distributors
included returns and price concessions that could not be reasonably estimated.
Revenue on all shipments to international distributors and certain shipments to
domestic distributors were recognized upon shipment to the distributor, with
appropriate provision of reserves for returns and allowances.

n. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

In the first quarter of fiscal 1999 the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 130, (FAS 130), "Reporting Comprehensive Income". FAS
130 establishes new rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive income
and its components. Components of comprehensive income include net income and
certain transactions that have generally been reported in the consolidated
statement of shareholders' equity. Other comprehensive income is comprised of
net income, currency translation adjustments and available-for-sale securities
valuation adjustments.

o. INCOME TAXES

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences
between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are
measured using the enacted income tax rates and laws that will be in effect when
the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Additionally, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are separated into current and noncurrent amounts based
on the classification of the related assets and liabilities for financial
reporting purposes.

p. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company grants stock options for a fixed number of shares to employees with
an exercise price equal to the fair value of the shares at the date of grant.
The Company accounts for stock option grants in accordance with APB Opinion No.
25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and accordingly, recognizes no
compensation expense for the stock option grants.

q. EARNINGS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK

Basic earnings per share is computed based only on the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is
computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
the period, plus the dilutive effect of future issues of common stock relating
to stock option programs and convertible debt financing. In calculating diluted
earnings per share, the dilutive effect of stock options is computed using the
average market price for the period. The following table sets forth the
computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

r. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, (FAS 133), "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities", which required adoption in periods
beginning after June 15, 1999. FAS 133 was subsequently amended by Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No.
133" and will now be effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000,
with earlier adoption permitted. The Company will adopt FAS 133 on a cumulative
basis during fiscal 2001, as required. The Company is currently evaluating the
effect of adopting FAS 133 and has not determined the impact of FAS 133 on its
financial statements. In March 1998, Statement of Position 98-1, (SOP 98-1),
"Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software Developed for or Obtained for
Internal Use" was issued. The Company will adopt SOP 98-1 in fiscal 2000. The
Company does not expect SOP 98-1 to have a material impact on the results of
operations or financial position. In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange
Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 101, (SAB 101), "Revenue Recognition
in Financial Statements." SAB 101 summarizes the application of generally
accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements.
The Company will adopt SAB 101 in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 and does not
expect SAB 101 to have a material effect on its financial position or results of
operations.

3. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

During the second quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company acquired two DSP tools
companies, White Mountain DSP, Inc. (WM) of Nashua, New Hampshire, and Edinburgh
Portable Compilers Limited (EPC), of Edinburgh, Scotland. The total cost of
these acquisitions was approximately $21 million in cash and $2 million in
common stock of the Company, with additional cash consideration of up to a
maximum of $10 million (to be accounted for as additional goodwill) payable if
the acquired companies achieve certain revenue and operational objectives. These
acquisitions were accounted for as purchases, and the excess of the purchase
price over the fair value of the assets acquired was allocated to existing
technology, workforce in place, trade names and goodwill, which are being
amortized on the straight-line basis over periods ranging from six to ten years.
In connection with these acquisitions, the Company recorded a charge of $5.1
million representing the write-off of in-process research and development.

Pro forma results of operations for WM and EPC have not been provided herein as
they were not material to the Company on either an individual or an aggregate
basis. The results of operations of each acquisition are included in the
Company's consolidated statement of income from the date of each acquisition.

During fiscal 1998, the Company completed the sale of its disk drive IC business
to Adaptec, Inc. The Company received approximately $27 million in cash for the
disk drive product line and, after providing for the write-off of inventory,
fixed assets and other costs incurred to complete the transaction, recorded a
net gain of approximately $13 million. The Company also entered into other
arrangements with Adaptec that provided for payments to the Company aggregating
$13 million, of which $3 million was earned in fiscal 1999 and $10 million was
earned in fiscal 1998, for assisting Adaptec in research and development
efforts.

4. INDUSTRY AND GEOGRAPHIC SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, (FAS
131), "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" in
fiscal 1999. The Company operates in two segments: the design, manufacture and
marketing of a broad range of integrated circuits, which comprises approximately
97% of the Company's revenue, and the design, manufacture and marketing of a
range of assembled products, which accounts for the remaining 3% of the
Company's revenue. Effectively, the Company operates in one reportable segment.

5. ACCOUNTING CHANGE - RECOGNITION OF REVENUE ON CERTAIN SALES TO DISTRIBUTORS

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company changed its accounting method
for recognizing revenue on all shipments to international distributors and
certain shipments to domestic distributors. The change was made with an
effective date of November 2, 1997 (the beginning of fiscal 1998). While the
Company has historically deferred revenue on most shipments made to domestic
distributors until the products were resold by the distributors to end users, it
recognized revenue on shipments to international distributors and certain
shipments to domestic distributors upon shipment to the distributors, net of
appropriate reserves for returns and allowances. As a result of this accounting
change, revenue recognition on shipments to distributors worldwide is deferred
until the products are resold to the end users. The Company believes that
deferral of revenue and related gross margin on shipments to distributors until
the product is shipped by the distributors is a more meaningful measurement of
results of operations because it better conforms to the substance of the
transaction considering the changing business environment in the international
marketplace; is consistent with industry practice; and will, accordingly, better
focus the entire organization on sales to end users and, therefore, is a
preferable method of accounting. The cumulative effect in 1998 of the change in
accounting principle was a charge of approximately $37 million (net of $20
million of income taxes) or $0.21 per diluted share. The estimated pro forma
effect of the accounting change on the prior years' results is as follows:



                                                                               1998                   1997

6. RESTRUCTURING CHARGE

The Company recorded a restructuring charge of $17 million during the third
quarter of fiscal 1998. Of this charge, $7 million related to a worldwide
workforce reduction of approximately 350 employees, which was completed during
the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998, in the manufacturing, selling and general and
administrative areas. In addition, the Company performed a review of its
business strategy and concluded that the key to success in the DSP market was to
focus on opportunities in the general-purpose DSP market that could provide
consistent growth, while at the same time being more selective in pursuing
vertical market DSP opportunities. As a result of this review, the Company
scaled back its efforts in some of the higher volume, lower margin, shorter life
cycle product areas and wrote off $10 million, which was the carrying value of
specific assets associated with these businesses.

7. INVESTMENTS

Investments at October 30, 1999 and October 31, 1998 were as follows:



                                                     1999                1998

                                                  ==========          ==========


In January 1999, the Company concluded an agreement to sell to other WaferTech
partners 78% of its 18% equity ownership in WaferTech for cash equal to the
carrying value of the 78% equity ownership at October 31, 1998. During fiscal
1999, the Company invested an additional $4 million in WaferTech. The Company no
longer exercises significant influence over WaferTech's operating and financial
policies and, accordingly, accounts for its remaining 4% investment under the
cost method. Changes in the value of the investment are not recognized unless an
impairment in the value of the investment is deemed by management to be "other
than temporary."

The Company has an equity investment in Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing
Pte., Ltd., (CSM), in Singapore of approximately $27 million which represents a
less than 5% ownership interest. During fiscal 1999, CSM's stock became publicly
traded. As a result, the Company changed the classification of its equity
investment to available-for-sale. Previously, the investment was accounted for
under the cost method.

Other investments consist primarily of long-term investments in mutual funds and
bank money market funds, which are related to the Company's deferred
compensation plan and are largely offset by a corresponding noncurrent liability
to the plan participants. These investments are classified as trading.

Investments are stated at fair value, which is based on market quotes, interest
rates or management estimates, as appropriate. Adjustments to fair value of
investments classified as available-for-sale are recorded as an increase or
decrease in stockholders' equity. Adjustments to fair value of and income
pertaining to other investments are recorded in operating expense.

8. ACCRUED LIABILITIES

Accrued liabilities at October 30, 1999 and October 31, 1998 consisted of the
following:

As of March 11, 1999, the Company had converted $229,967,000 of the $230 million
principal amount of its 3 1/2% Convertible Subordinated Notes (Notes) due 2000
into an aggregate of 10,983,163 shares of the Company's common stock, and the
remaining Notes were redeemed by a cash payment of $33,000. This conversion did
not have an impact on diluted earnings per share.

Simultaneous with the sale of the 6 5/8% Notes, the Company entered into an
interest rate swap and cap agreement for the term of the Notes having a notional
principal amount of $40 million whereby the effective net interest rate on $40
million of the Notes will be the six-month LIBOR rate (up to a maximum of 7%)
plus 1.4%. For the year ended October 30, 1999, the net effective interest rate
on $40 million of the Notes was 7.3% after giving effect to the interest rate
swap agreement.

The Company has a revolving credit agreement with several banks that commits
them to lend up to $60 million. The Company did not borrow against this
agreement at any time during fiscal 1999 or fiscal 1998. There was $2.3 million
and $0.2 million of foreign currency borrowings outstanding at October 30, 1999
and October 31, 1998, respectively, which were at prevailing market rates for
the respective currencies. Borrowings under the Company's credit agreement and
lines of credit are generally due within six months.

10. LEASE COMMITMENTS

The Company leases certain of its facilities and equipment under various
operating and capital leases that expire at various dates through 2030. The
lease agreements frequently include renewal and purchase provisions and require
the Company to pay taxes, insurance and maintenance costs.

Total rental expense under operating leases was approximately $17 million in
fiscal 1999, $16 million in fiscal 1998 and $13 million in fiscal 1997.

The following is a schedule of future minimum lease payments under capital
leases and rental payments required under long-term operating leases at October
30, 1999:

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LITIGATION

The Company was a defendant in a federal lawsuit brought in Arizona by the
Lemelson Medical, Education & Research Foundation, L.P. (Lemelson). On July 31,
1998, Lemelson commenced an action in federal court against the Company and 26
other companies alleging infringement of 16 patents allegedly covering various
manufacturing processes and techniques used in the fabrication of semiconductor
products. Lemelson served the Company with a complaint on November 24, 1998
seeking unspecified damages, treble damages for willful infringement and
injunctive relief. Subsequent to fiscal 1999, the Company entered into a
settlement agreement with Lemelson that was not material.

The Company is a defendant in a federal lawsuit brought in California by Linear
Technology Corporation (LTC). On June 26, 1997, LTC filed suit against the
Company, Impala Linear Corporation, Toyoda Automatic Loom Works, Ltd., Maxim
Integrated Products, Inc. and Unitrode Corporation alleging patent infringement
and seeking injunctive relief and unspecified damages. The parties are presently
engaged in discovery. The case was originally scheduled for trial on liability
issues beginning on September 7, 1999. The original district judge recused
himself and the case has not yet been rescheduled for trial. While the Company
can give no assurance that it will prevail in this litigation, it believes that
resolution of this litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's consolidated financial position, although an unfavorable outcome could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or cash
flow in the quarter, or annual period in which this matter is resolved.

Patent infringement suits are pending against the Company by Sextant Avionique,
S.A. in France and the United States and Commissariat A. L'energie Atomique
C.E.A. in France, claiming that the Company's accelerometer infringes certain
patents. In the United States proceeding commenced by Sextant Avionique, S.A. on
August 8, 1995, the federal district court entered judgment following trial in
favor of the Company finding the Company did not infringe Sextant's patents.
Sextant appealed the decision and the case was heard on appeal. The parties are
awaiting the appellate court's determination. In the French proceeding commenced
by Sextant Avionique, S.A., the French court found that the Company infringed
Sextant's French patents, and therefore, unless the decision is reversed, the
Company will be unable to manufacture or sell any infringing accelerometers in
France. The Company does not believe that the French court's decision will have
any material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or
consolidated results of operations.

On January 18, 2000, the Company became aware that Silicon Laboratories, Inc.
had named ADI as a defendant in a lawsuit filed in the United States District
Court for the Western District of Texas, which alleges misappropriation of trade
secrets and patent infringement by Analog. As of January 21, 2000, the Company
had not yet been served by the plaintiff and therefore has not had the
opportunity to review the plaintiff's complaint. Accordingly, the Company is not
in a position to assess the validity of the allegations or the effect of the
lawsuit on the Company.

From time to time as a normal incidence of the nature of the Company's business,
various claims, charges and litigation are asserted or commenced against the
Company arising from, or related to, contractual matters, patents, trademarks,
personal injury, environmental matters, product liability, and personnel and
employment disputes. As to such claims and litigation, the Company can give no
assurance that it will prevail. However, the Company does not believe that these
matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated
financial position, although an adverse outcome of any of these matters could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated results of
operations or cash flow in the quarter, or annual period in which one or more of
these matters are resolved.

WAFER SUPPLY AGREEMENTS

The Company maintains a deposit of $20 million with Chartered Semiconductor
Manufacturing Pte., Ltd., (CSM). This deposit is classified in the balance sheet
line item "Other assets." Under the terms of this agreement, the deposit will
guarantee access to certain quantities of sub-micron wafers through fiscal 2004.
If the Company does not purchase the minimum quantities under the agreement, the
deposit will be forfeited for the value of the wafer shortfall up to the total
amount of $20 million. The outstanding balance of the deposit is refunded in
proportion to the Company's purchases of wafers from CSM and, at this time, the
Company expects to have the entire deposit refunded.

12. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

STOCK PLANS

In fiscal 1998, the stockholders approved the 1998 Stock Option Plan, which
provides for the issuance of nonstatutory and incentive stock options to
purchase up to 15,000,000 shares of common stock. Officers, employees,
directors, consultants and advisors of the Company and its subsidiaries are
eligible to be granted options under this plan at a price not less than 100%
(110% in the case of incentive stock options granted to 10% or greater
stockholders) of the fair market value of the common stock at the time the
option is granted. The Company's 1988 Stock Option Plan was terminated upon
adoption of the 1998 Stock Option Plan; however, options to purchase common
stock remain outstanding under the plan. There are no remaining options
outstanding under the Company's 1980 Stock Option Plan.

While the Company may grant options to employees, which become exercisable at
different times or within different periods, the Company has generally granted
options to employees that are exercisable on a cumulative basis in annual
installments of 33 1/3% each on the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the
date of grant.

Under the 1994 Director Option Plan, which was amended in 1998, each
non-employee director is granted annually a non-statutory option to purchase
10,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market
value on the date of grant. Up to 1999, each newly elected non-employee director
received a grant of an option to purchase 10,500 shares of Common Stock upon his
or her election to the Board (the "Initial Grant"). The 1994 Director Plan was
amended in 1999 whereby the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the
Initial Grant was increased from 10,500 to 30,000. A total of 550,000 shares of
common stock may be issued under this plan. These options are exercisable on a
cumulative basis in annual installments of 33 1/3% each on the first, second and
third anniversaries of the date of grant. The Company also has options
outstanding under the 1992 Director Option that are exercisable on a cumulative
basis in annual installments of 33 1/3% each on the third, fourth and fifth
anniversaries of the date of grant.

Information with respect to activity under the stock option plans is set forth

OPTION AMENDMENT

In September 1998 the Board of Directors approved a stock option program
amendment pursuant to which all employees with stock options granted during the
period beginning December 1, 1996 and ending on August 3, 1998 could elect to
reduce the option exercise price to $14.75 per share (equal to the then fair
market value). Upon such election, the vesting schedule for the affected options
was reset, whereby one-third vest on September 8, 2001, one-third on September
8, 2002 and the final one-third on September 8, 2003. A total of 8,221,498
options with exercise prices ranging from $22.25 to $34.25 per share were
amended under the program. The activity as a result of this option program
amendment is presented in the preceding table as cancellations and subsequent
grants.

The following table summarizes information about options outstanding at October
30, 1999:

The Company has an employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) that allows eligible
employees to purchase, through payroll deductions, shares of the Company's
common stock at 85% of the fair market value at specified dates. Employees
purchased 656,400 shares in 1999 (602,500 and 579,200 in 1998 and 1997,
respectively) for $12.9 million ($11.8 million and $10.2 million in 1998 and
1997, respectively). At October 30, 1999, approximately 2,201,000 common shares
remained available for issuance under the stock purchase plan.

Under the 1991 Restricted Stock Plan, a maximum of 2,700,000 shares of common
stock was authorized for awards by the Company to key employees for nominal
consideration. This plan succeeded the Company's 1978 Restricted Stock Plan that
provided for the issuance of up to 7,372,800 shares of common stock. Shares
awarded from both plans are restricted as to transfer, usually for a period of
five years and, under certain conditions, may be subject to repurchase by the
Company at the original purchase price per share. There were no additional
shares awarded under the restricted stock plans in fiscal 1999. Shares awarded
under the Company's restricted stock plans, net of cancellations, for fiscal
1998 and fiscal 1997 were 217,500 and 168,000, respectively. The fair market
value of the shares at the date of award was $6,293,000 and $4,002,000 in fiscal
1998 and 1997, respectively and was accounted for as deferred compensation and
is being amortized over the restricted period. During 1999, 1998 and 1997,
$2,799,000, $2,918,000 and $2,309,000, respectively, of such compensation was
charged to expense. At October 30, 1999, there were 597,500 shares of common
stock available for issuance under the 1991 Restricted Stock Plan.

As of October 30, 1999, a total of 34,332,881 common shares were reserved for
issuance under the Company's stock plans.

COMMON STOCK REPURCHASE

In May and October of 1998, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to
repurchase up to 4 million and 8 million shares, respectively, of its common
stock over the succeeding 12 months. At October 31, 1998 the Company had
purchased 4,400,000 shares of its common stock an average purchase price of
$19.13 per share. The Company did not purchase any shares in fiscal 1999. The
repurchased shares will be held as treasury shares and will be available for
issuance under the Company's stock option plans, employee stock purchase plan
and other benefit plans.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

As permitted under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (FAS
123), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the Company has elected to
follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees," and related Interpretations, in accounting for stock-based awards
to employees. Under APB 25, the Company generally recognized no compensation
expense with respect to such awards.

Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by
FAS 123 for awards granted after October 28, 1995 as if the Company had
accounted for its stock-based awards to employees under the fair value method of
FAS 123. The fair value of the Company's stock-based awards to employees was
estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option
valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded
options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In
addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective
assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Because the
Company's stock-based awards to employees have characteristics significantly
different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective
input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's
opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single
measure of the fair value of its stock-based awards to employees. The fair value
of the Company's stock-based awards to employees was estimated assuming no
expected dividends and the following weighted average assumptions:

The effects on pro forma disclosures of applying FAS 123 are not likely to be
representative of the effects on pro forma disclosures of future years. Because
FAS 123 is applicable only to options granted subsequent to October 28, 1995,
the pro forma effect will not be fully reflected until fiscal 2000.

PREFERRED STOCK

The Company has 471,934 authorized shares of $1.00 par value Preferred Stock.
The Board of Directors is authorized to fix designations, relative rights,

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE RIGHTS

In March 1998, the Board of Directors adopted a Stockholder Rights Plan (the
Stockholder Rights Plan) that replaced a plan adopted by the Board in 1988.
Pursuant to the Stockholder Rights Plan, each share of the Company's Common
Stock (Common Stock) has an associated right (the Rights). Under certain
circumstances, each Right would entitle the registered holder to purchase from
the Company one one-thousandth share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred
Stock at a Purchase Price of $180 in cash, subject to adjustment.

The Rights are not exercisable and cannot be transferred separately from the
Common Stock until ten business days (or such later date as may be determined by
the Board of Directors) after (i) the public announcement that a person or group
of affiliated or associated persons has acquired (or obtained rights to acquire)
beneficial ownership of 15% or more of Common Stock or (ii) the commencement of
a tender offer or exchange offer that would result in a person or group
beneficially owning 20% or more of the outstanding Common Stock. If and when the
Rights become exercisable, each holder of a Right shall have the right to
receive, upon exercise, that number of Common Stock (or in certain
circumstances, cash property or other securities of the Company) that equals the
price of the Right divided by 50% of the current market price (as defined in the
Stockholder Rights Plan) per share of Common Stock at the date of the occurrence
of such event. In the event at any time after any person becomes an acquiring
person, (i) the Company is consolidated with, or merged with and into, another
entity and the Company is not the surviving entity of such consolidation or
merger or if the Company is the surviving entity, but shares of its outstanding
common stock are changed or exchanged for stock or securities or cash or any
other property, or (ii) 50% or more of the Company's assets or earning power is
sold or transferred, each holder of a Right shall thereafter have the right to
receive upon exercise, that number of shares of common stock of the acquiring
company that equals the exercise price of the Right divided by 50% of the
current market price of such common stock at the date of the occurrence of the
event.

The Rights have certain anti-takeover effects, in that they would cause
substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire a significant
interest in the Company on terms not approved by the Board of Directors. The
Rights expire on March 17, 2008 but may be redeemed by the Company for $.001 per
right at any time prior to the tenth day following a person's acquisition of 15%
or more of the Company's common stock. So long as the Rights are not separately
transferable, each new share of Common Stock issued will have a Right associated
with it.

13. RETIREMENT PLANS

The Company and its subsidiaries have various savings and retirement plans
covering substantially all employees. The Company maintains a defined
contribution plan for the benefit of its eligible United States employees. This
plan provides for Company contributions of up to 5% of each participant's total
eligible compensation. In addition, the Company contributes an amount equal to

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company's practice is to reinvest indefinitely the earnings of certain
international subsidiaries. Accordingly, no U.S. income taxes have been provided
for approximately $588,048,000 of unremitted earnings of international
subsidiaries.

The Company had recorded a valuation allowance to reflect the estimated amount
of deferred tax assets that may not be realized due to the expiration of book
and tax capital losses. The balance for the valuation allowance for deferred
assets was $0 at October 30, 1999 and October 31, 1998, and $5.6 million at
November 1, 1997.


The significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities
for the fiscal years ended October 30, 1999 and October 31, 1998 are as follows:



                                                                         1999                 1998

                REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Analog Devices, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Analog Devices,
Inc. as of October 30, 1999 and October 31, 1998, and the related consolidated
statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended October 30, 1999. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Analog
Devices, Inc. at October 30, 1999 and October 31, 1998, and the consolidated
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended October 30, 1999, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.

As discussed in Notes 2(m) and 5 to the consolidated financial statements, in
the fiscal year ended October 31, 1998, the Company changed its method for
recognizing revenue on certain shipments to distributors.
