NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets of Fairchild Semiconductor
Corporation (the "Company") as of August 30, 1998 and May 31, 1998 and the
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Cash Flows for the
three-month periods ended August 30, 1998 and August 24, 1997 were prepared by
the Company. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only
normal recurring items) necessary to present fairly the financial position and
results of operations of the Company. Interim results of operations are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. This
report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements
and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended May 31, 1998.

Note 3 - Restructuring charge
In the first quarter of fiscal 1999, in connection with management's
plan to reduce costs and improve operating efficiencies, the Company recorded a
pre-tax restructuring charge of approximately $4.5 million. The restructuring
charge consisted of $0.8 million related to non-cash asset impairments and $3.7
million of employee separation costs. The charge for employee separation
arrangements accrues for the termination and other severance costs associated
with the approximately 600 salaried, hourly and temporary employees severed as a
result of this action, a reduction of approximately 10% of the Company's
payroll. Through the first quarter of fiscal 1999, approximately $2.1 million of
these costs have been paid with the remaining $1.6 million of accruals to be
expended by the end of fiscal 1999.
Note 4 - Long-term debt
Effective August 25, 1998, the Company executed a Second Amendment to
its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, modifying certain restrictive
financial and operating covenants with which (as modified) the Company was in
compliance at August 30, 1998. All other terms and conditions of the Credit
Agreement remained unchanged.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
Overview
Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation (the "Company"), is a leading
designer, manufacturer and supplier of high-performance logic, non-volatile
memory, discrete power and signal technology and analog and mixed signal
semiconductors, serving the telecommunications, consumer, industrial, personal
systems and automotive markets.
Results of Operations
The Company incurred a net loss of $14.3 million in the first quarter
of fiscal 1999, compared to net income of $14.5 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 1998. Fiscal 1999 first quarter net loss includes a net loss of $0.3
million for Raytheon Semiconductor ("Raytheon" or "Analog"), which was not
acquired until the third quarter of fiscal 1998. Excluding a one-time
restructuring charge of $4.5 million, Fairchild had an operating loss for the
first three months of fiscal 1999 of $1.4 million as compared to operating
income of $33.3 million in the same period last year. Analog operations broke
even for the first three months of fiscal 1999. The decrease is primarily
attributable to lower trade and contract manufacturing revenues and a
corresponding deterioration in margins resulting from soft market conditions,
due to excess personal computer inventories in the sales channels and adverse
effects on semiconductor demand driven by economic uncertainty in Southeast
Asia. These forces have combined to cause excess capacity in the semiconductor
industry resulting in price and margin erosion. Excluding depreciation and
amortization of $23.3 million and $20.0 million in the first quarters of fiscal
1999 and 1998, respectively, and one-time charges, earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") were $21.9 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 1999 compared to $53.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal
1998. Excluding Analog, EBITDA was $19.7 million for the first three months of
fiscal 1999, a 63% reduction from the comparable period of fiscal 1998. EBITDA
is presented because the Company believes that it is a widely accepted financial
indicator of an entity's ability to incur and service debt. EBITDA should not be
considered as an alternative to net income, operating income, or other
consolidated operations and cash flow data prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, as an indicator of the operating performance of
the Company, or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.
Revenues
The Company's revenues consist of trade sales to unaffiliated customers
(93.2% and 79.5% of total revenues in the first quarters of fiscal 1999 and
1998, respectively) and revenues from contract manufacturing services provided
to National Semiconductor ("National") (6.8% and 20.5% of total revenues in the
first quarters of fiscal 1999 and 1998, respectively).
Trade revenues decreased 14.9% to $135.1 million in the first quarter
of fiscal 1999 compared with $158.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1998.
Trade sales for the three months ended August 30, 1998 include those of Analog.
Excluding Analog, trade sales decreased 25.5% over the comparable period in
fiscal 1998. This decline impacted all product groups and is the result of
continued industry-wide market softness, which began in the second half of
fiscal 1998. Logic, Discrete and Memory trade sales decreased by 23.3%, 18.8%
and 41.4%, respectively, in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 over the first
quarter of fiscal 1998. Geographically, excluding Analog, 37%, 22% and 41% of
trade sales were derived from North America, Europe and Asia/Pacific,
respectively, in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 compared to 36%, 19% and 45%
in the first quarter of fiscal 1998. All regions experienced decreases in trade
sales in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 compared to the first quarter of
fiscal 1998. Trade sales decreased by 23.5%, 13.9% and 32.1% in North America,
Europe and Asia/Pacific, respectively. Contract manufacturing revenues decreased
sharply in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 to $9.9 million compared to $40.8
million in the first quarter of fiscal 1998, reflecting reduced demand from
National.
7
Gross Profit
Gross profit decreased 50.5% to $30.4 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 1999 compared to $61.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1998.
Excluding the effect of Raytheon, gross trade profit decreased 60.1% in the
first quarter of fiscal 1999 over the first quarter of fiscal 1998. As a
percentage of trade sales, gross trade profits were 21.3% in the first quarter
of fiscal 1999, compared to 32.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 1998. The
decrease in gross trade profit as a percentage of trade sales was due to lower
average selling prices and decreased factory utilization due to soft market
conditions. Contract manufacturing gross profit decreased 85.1% to $1.6 million
in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 compared to $10.7 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 1998. Contract manufacturing gross profit for the first
quarter of fiscal 1999 includes $6.2 million of fixed cost reimbursement under
the Company's manufacturing agreements with National.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses ("R&D") were $9.2 million, or 6.8% of
trade sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 1999, compared to $7.1 million, or
4.5% of trade sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 1998. The increase in R&D
expenses is driven by R&D costs incurred by Analog in fiscal 1999 which the
Company did not incur in fiscal 1998. R&D efforts are focused on the Company's
growth products: CMOS Logic, DMOS, EEPROM and Analog. In the first quarters of
fiscal 1999 and 1998, R&D expenditures were 9.3% and 7.3% of trade sales,
respectively, for these growth products, and 0.8% and 0.8% of trade sales,
respectively, for the Company's mature products (Bipolar Logic, Bipolar
Discretes and EPROM).
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") were $22.6
million, or 16.7% of trade sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 1999, compared
to $21.0 million, or 13.2% of trade sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 1998.
The increase in SG&A expenses is primarily the result of the incremental SG&A
expenses of Analog, which the Company did not incur in the first quarter of
fiscal 1998.
Restructuring
The Company incurred a pre-tax restructuring charge of approximately
$4.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1999. The charge consisted of $0.8
million related to non-cash asset impairments and $3.7 million of employee
separation costs which are expected to be substantially expended by the end of
fiscal 1999.
Interest, Net
Interest, net was $11.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1999,
compared to $11.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1998. The increase is
principally the result of indebtedness incurred to fund the Raytheon
acquisition, which occurred in the third quarter of fiscal 1998.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense (benefit) was $(3.5) million for the first quarter
of fiscal 1999, compared to $7.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1998.
The effective tax rates for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 and 1998 were 19.7%
and 35.0%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate is due to the
Company's inability to carry-back current year net operating losses due to the
short time the Company has operated as a stand-alone entity.
8
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of August 30, 1998, the Company's cash and cash equivalents balance
was $5.0 million, a decrease of $1.5 million from May 31, 1998. In addition, the
Company had $113.4 million available under its Revolving Credit Facility at
August 30, 1998.
During the three months ended August 30, 1998, the Company's operations
used $5.3 million in cash compared to $33.7 million generated from operating
activities in the first three months of fiscal 1998. The decrease in cash
provided by operating activities reflects a decrease in net income adjusted for
noncash items of $32.2 million as well as a decrease in cash flows from changes
in operating assets and liabilities of $6.8 million. Cash used in investing
activities during the first three months of fiscal 1999 totaled $12.8 million
compared to $13.0 million in the first three months of fiscal 1998. Capital
expenditures in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 were being made principally to
purchase and install the Company's enterprise-wide information system whereas in
the first quarter of fiscal 1998, capital purchases were being made primarily to
increase capacity in the Company's manufacturing facilities. Cash provided by
financing activities of $16.6 million for the first three months of fiscal 1999
was the result of net proceeds from the Company's Revolving Credit Facility.
Cash used in financing activities of $2.7 million for the first three months of
fiscal 1998 was due to repayments of long-term debt.
The Company expects that its existing cash together with funds
available from its amended Senior Credit Facilities and funds generated from
operations will be sufficient to meet its anticipated operating requirements and
to fund its research and development and capital expenditures for the next
twelve months. Capital expenditures for the balance of fiscal 1999 will be
primarily made for the completion of the enterprise software system
implementation and to increase assembly and test capacity.
The Company utilizes financial instruments to hedge its overall
exposure to the effects of foreign currency and interest rate fluctuations. The
Company utilizes short-term forward and option contracts to hedge currency
exposure when deemed necessary for expenses denominated in Malaysian ringgit and
Philippine peso, as well as revenues denominated in Japanese yen and the major
European currencies. The devaluation of several currencies in Southeast Asia
against the U.S. dollar and the recent currency restrictions imposed by the
Malaysian government have not had, nor does the Company presently expect these
events to have, a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations
or financial condition. The Company currently benefits from lower
dollar-denominated expenses incurred by its manufacturing operations in
Southeast Asia, and the fact that its sales in that region (excluding Japan) are
denominated in U.S. dollars. As discussed in greater depth in "Outlook and
Business Risks," recent economic developments and the associated currency
devaluations have softened demand in that region, thereby negatively affecting
the Company's revenues and profitability. Deferred gains from hedging
transactions were immaterial to the Company's operating results in the first
quarters of fiscal 1999 and 1998. The Company does not speculate in these
financial instruments.
Outlook and Business Risks
The statements contained under this heading and elsewhere in
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations", other than statements of historical facts, are forward-looking
statements based on current expectations and management's estimates, which
involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those
set forth in or contemplated by such forward-looking statements.
The following factors may affect the Company's operating results for
fiscal 1999: (i) the potential effect of the Company's substantially leveraged
financial condition on its liquidity, its ability to fund capital expenditures,
working capital, debt service and research and development and its ability to
withstand adverse general economic, market or competitive conditions and
developments; (ii) restrictive covenants contained in the Company's debt
instruments that could limit its ability to borrow
9
additional funds, dispose of or acquire assets or fund capital expenditures;
(iii) the highly cyclical and competitive nature of the semiconductor industry
and the potential for continued softness in demand; (iv) the Company's
dependence on continued demand for the end-products such as personal computers,
telecommunications, automotive, and consumer and industrial electronic goods
that incorporate the Company's products; (v) the need to design, develop,
manufacture, market and support new products in order to remain competitive in
the Company's markets; (vi) the ability to successfully integrate Raytheon and
other potential acquisitions into the Company's operations and the resultant
risk of losing key customers or employees of the acquired operation; (vii) the
Company's dependence on sales to National Semiconductor; (viii) the Company's
dependence on the availability and cost of raw materials used in its products
and upon key subcontractors providing it with wafer fabrication, assembly and
test services; (ix) the Company's reliance on complex manufacturing processes
and its sensitivity to maintaining yields, efficiencies and continuous
operations; (x) uncertainties and legal risks associated with the dependence on,
and potential disputes concerning, patents and other intellectual property
rights; and (xi) foreign currency and other risks associated with operating a
global business.
The industry is currently experiencing soft market conditions, which
began in the second half of fiscal 1998, due to the Asian financial crisis and
an inventory correction in the personal computer market, resulting in excess
capacity in the semiconductor industry as a whole. These factors have combined
to cause severe price pressures and reduced demand, which will continue to
negatively impact the Company's trade revenues and gross profit in the second
quarter of fiscal 1999 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 1998. In
response, the Company has undertaken cost reduction initiatives, including
factory shutdowns and headcount reductions. Despite these actions and a recent
upswing in order rates, the Company expects its trade revenues and gross profit
as a percent of sales in the second quarter of fiscal 1999 to remain
substantially below the comparable period of fiscal 1998. No assurance can be
given that order rates will continue to improve, nor that such cost reduction
measures will produce improved gross profit in the subsequent periods of fiscal
1999 and beyond.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998, National informed the Company
that its demand would be significantly lower in fiscal 1999 than in fiscal 1998.
This has resulted in significantly lower contract manufacturing revenues in the
first quarter of fiscal 1999 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1998 and
will result in substantially lower contract manufacturing revenues throughout
fiscal 1999 as compared to fiscal 1998. Such reduced demand will negatively
impact factory utilization, particularly in the 6-inch fab in South Portland,
Maine. National, under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement (the
"Agreement"), is obligated to purchase an aggregate of $330.0 million of
contract manufacturing services during the 39 month period which began March 11,
1997, including a minimum of $90.0 million of contract manufacturing services in
fiscal 1999. In addition, National is obligated to cover a contractually
agreed-upon amount of fixed costs in the Company's 6-inch fab in South Portland,
Maine in fiscal 1999. While National's ordering and payment schedules for fiscal
1999 remain under discussion, National has reaffirmed its commitment to remain
in compliance with the terms of the Agreement.
The combination of soft market conditions and reduced demand from
National will result in a net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 1999. In
addition, start-up issues with the shipping and logistics modules of the
Company's enterprise software system have caused a temporary increase in
delinquent backlog; however, the Company has experienced no significant
cancellations of backlog, and expects the problem to be resolved by the end
of the second quarter. No assurance can be given that such start-up issues
will not have a further negative effect on trade revenues and profit in the
second quarter. Should prices, order rates and the Company's ability to serve
its backlog not improve during the second quarter or National not comply with
its obligations under the Agreement, the Company may experience a loss in the
third quarter of Fiscal Year 1999 and in subsequent periods as well. In light
of the foregoing conditions and uncertainties, the Company expects
substantially lower profits in fiscal 1999 as compared to fiscal 1998 (and
potentially a net loss in fiscal 1999).
10
The Company's assembly and test facilities, as well as certain
subcontractors for wafer fabrication and assembly and test services, are located
in Southeast Asia and Japan. Reliance on these facilities, as well as
subcontractors located in this region of the world, entails certain risks, both
political and economic, including political instability, asset seizures or
nationalizations, currency controls and exchange rate fluctuations. While the
Company has not experienced any significant disruptions in its operations in
that part of the world, no assurance can be given that such continued economic
and political instability would not result in an adverse effect on the Company's
operations or financial condition.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company commenced its
enterprise software system implementation project for the purpose of separating
from National's business systems. The system, which became operational for
several of the Company's critical business processes in the first quarter of
fiscal 1999, is year 2000 compliant. Additional modules of the system are
scheduled to be implemented throughout fiscal 1999. The Company's business is
dependent upon its information systems as an integral part of all major business
processes. As the Company begins the implementation of critical operational and
logistical modules, there is a risk that these implementations could be delayed,
could experience difficulties or in fact may not be successful and could
adversely affect future results of operations and cash flows. Additionally,
internal resources have been redeployed to identify, test and correct year 2000
problems in other systems throughout the Company, including those systems
embedded in the Company's machinery and equipment. The Company is also reviewing
the year 2000 readiness and compliance of its principal suppliers of products
and services, in order to identify and assess any negative impacts that such
non-compliances could have on the Company. In addition, the Company is working
with its customers to identify potential year 2000 issues with its products. To
date, none have been identified. Management expects that its assessments will be
completed by December 31, 1998. During the first quarters of fiscal 1999 and
1998, respectively, incremental amounts incurred and charged to expense to
identify, test and correct such other year 2000 problems were immaterial to the
financial statements. Future incremental expenditures are currently estimated to
be approximately $2.0 million, the majority of which should be incurred before
the end of fiscal 1999. Although management believes the Company's systems will
be year 2000 compliant, the failure of the Company's suppliers and customers to
address the year 2000 issue could result in disruption to the Company's
operations and have a significant adverse impact on its results of operations,
the extent of which the Company has not yet estimated. The Company is not
actively engaged in preparing contingency plans in the event that key suppliers
or customers fail to become year 2000 compliant. However, the Company, in the
ordinary course of business, seeks to expand its customer base to lessen
dependence on any one customer for a significant portion of its revenues, and
seeks second sources of supply for its key products and services where
appropriate.
