MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL
CONDITION
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net sales of $1,648.3 million for 1993 rose by 9 percent from sales of $1,514.5
million for 1992. This growth was principally related to a sharp increase in
sales of flash memory devices and higher sales in most other product lines
partially offset by a decline in Am386(R) microprocessor sales. AMD's non-X86
business grew approximately 23 percent compared to 1992. Even though volume
shipments did not commence until the second half of 1993, the company achieved
substantial sales of Am486(TM) devices in 1993. However, revenues generated by
Am486 products were insufficient to offset declining sales of Am386 devices.
Net sales in 1992 increased by 23 percent from sales of $1,226.6 million in
1991, primarily due to significant growth in Am386 microprocessor sales. Net
sales for the rest of the product lines were relatively flat, except for
network and telecommunications products, and embedded processors, which rose by
21 percent from 1991 to 1992.
Sales of CMOS products continued to grow in both absolute dollars and as a
percentage of sales from 1991 through 1993. Sales of products manufactured with
CMOS process technology accounted for approximately 76 percent of net sales in
1993, 70 percent in 1992 and 56 percent in 1991. Sales to international
customers were 54 percent in 1993, and 55 percent in 1992 and 1991. The
European market showed strong growth in 1993, while the Asia-Pacific market
decreased slightly as compared to 1992.
Am386 and Am486 microprocessors were AMD's most significant X86 products in
1993. Since its introduction in 1991, the Am386 family has been a major
contributor to AMD revenues. Am386 family sales ramped up to their highest
levels in 1992; however, this product has been on a downward trend through 1993
because of its maturing life cycle. Over the past three years, the Am386 family
has experienced significant price erosion in response to intense competition
and the introduction of more advanced technology. Nevertheless, unit shipments
reached their peak in the first quarter of 1993. Management anticipates Am386
microprocessor revenue will continue on its downward trend in 1994, resulting
from both unit-shipment and average-selling-price declines, since the market
has transitioned to 486 technology as the microprocessor standard.
The company's Am386 and Am486 products have been the subject of litigation
with Intel Corporation (see 1993 Annual Report on Form 10K, Item 3, Legal
Proceedings). An unfavorable decision in the 287, 386 or 486 microcode
litigation could result in a material monetary damages award to Intel and/or
preclude the company from continuing to produce those Am386 and Am486 products
adjudicated to contain any copyrighted Intel microcode. Therefore, such
litigations could have a materially adverse impact on the financial condition
and results of operations of the company.
During 1993, the company's X86 business transitioned from Am386 to Am486
products. The company began shipments of its Am486DX microprocessors during the
second quarter of 1993. Since this time, Am486DX unit shipments have grown
significantly, exceeding 550,000 units, while average selling prices have
remained relatively constant. Management anticipates a further increase in
Am486DX unit shipments in 1994; however, as volume increases, normal price
declines are anticipated due to competitive pressures. The company has
initiated an aggressive manufacturing plan in the Submicron Development Center
(SDC); nevertheless, Am486 product demand is expected to exceed production
capacity during 1994. In February 1994, the company entered into a foundry
agreement with Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) for AMD's Am486
microprocessor family. The agreement is for two years with an option for
extension at the end of that period. However, both parties have certain rights
to terminate this agreement earlier in the event of adverse developments in the
company's microprocessor-related litigations. Initial shipments of Am486
products from wafers manufactured by DEC are expected to begin in the fourth
quarter of 1994. The company anticipates that shipments of Am486
microprocessors from the foundry will reach an annual run-rate of 2 million
units in the first half of 1995. AMD may enter into additional foundry
arrangements in order to supplement internal capacity based on business
conditions. Regardless of these foundry arrangements, the company's production
capacity is expected to increase in 1995 due to the completion of its 700,000
square-foot submicron semiconductor manufacturing complex in Austin, Texas (Fab
25).
An adverse result in the 287 microcode litigation or the 486 microcode
litigation could preclude the company from shipping its Am486DX products
adjudicated to contain any copyrighted Intel microcode. In that event, the
company's revenues and earnings will be materially adversely impacted until the
company is able to manufacture and introduce new members of its Am486 family in
lieu of the DX that obtain the same level of market acceptance and
profitability currently generated by the Am486DX.
The company is in the process of developing new Am486 products. Development
of such Am486 products is expected to be completed by the end of 1994.
The company is also currently developing its next generation of
microprocessors, referred to as the K series, based on superscalar RISC-type
architecture. Development of these products is expected to be completed in the
fourth quarter of 1994 or early 1995.
In addition to the above-mentioned litigations, the future outlook for AMD's
microprocessor business is highly dependent upon microprocessor market
conditions, which are subject to both demand and price elasticity. Future
growth will rely on the market demand of Am486 products and AMD's future
generation microprocessors.
Revenues of network and telecommunication products achieved record levels in
1993, growing 30 percent from 1992 and 58 percent from 1991. Growth was
particularly strong in telecommunications products, driven by higher European
market demand in 1993. Management expects continued strong growth in network
products driven by Ethernet products in 1994. Sales of embedded processors in
1993 rose 22 percent as compared to 1992 and 46 percent as compared to 1991.
This growth was primarily attributable to record sales of both 29K(TM) RISC
microprocessor and microcontroller products.
Sales of flash memory devices grew substantially from 1991 to 1993. However,
in the fourth quarter of 1993, flash sales decreased as compared to the
immediate prior quarter due
14
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL
CONDITION
primarily to pricing pressures caused by increased competition. These pricing
pressures are expected to continue in 1994. Management anticipates flash memory
unit shipments will resume growth in the first quarter of 1994, as the company
ramps up the production of its new 4-megabit flash memory devices introduced in
the fourth quarter of 1993. The company plans to meet projected long-term
demand for flash memory through a manufacturing joint venture with Fujitsu
Limited of Japan, which is expected to begin volume production in 1995.
EPROM sales declined from 1992 because of lower unit shipments due to
capacity constraints created by allocating internal capacity to flash memory
devices. However, in the fourth quarter of 1993, EPROM revenue grew
considerably as compared to the third quarter of 1993 due to higher unit
shipments produced by increased foundry capacity. Management anticipates this
demand will continue in 1994, and increased EPROM foundry production will
expand current capacity levels consistent with market demand in 1994.
Sales of programmable logic devices (PLDs) rose slightly in 1993 from 1992
and 1991 due to an increase in sales of CMOS PLDs, which currently represent a
substantial portion of total PLD sales. Sales of CMOS PLDs in 1993 grew
significantly from 1992 and 1991, with MACH(R) family products (mid-density
PLDs) acting as the driving force. However, in the fourth quarter, CMOS PLD
sales declined as compared to the immediate prior quarter. The company believes
that one of the factors causing this CMOS PLD sales decline may have been
customers' temporary inventory build-up. During 1993, bipolar PLD sales
declined as compared to 1992 and 1991. Management anticipates flat PLD sales
in 1994 with strong growth in MACH family products offset by declining bipolar
PLD sales.
Cost of sales of $789.6 million for 1993 contributed to a gross margin of 52
percent as compared to a gross margin of 51 percent in 1992 and 46 percent in
1991. These gross margin improvements were related to a richer product mix,
improved capacity utilization, and better manufacturing yields which more than
offset declining Am386 device prices and increased manufacturing costs. Gross
margins may decrease in 1994 due to increased competition, increased foundry
costs principally related to EPROMs, changes in product mix and the impact of
litigation.
Research and development expense for 1993 increased to $262.8 million from
$227.9 million in 1992 and $213.8 million in 1991. This increase is mainly due
to higher spending on process and product development in the SDC and its
supporting engineering organizations, and microprocessor development. Research
and development expense exceeded 15 percent of net sales in each of the last
three years. The company anticipates a slight increase in research and
development expense in 1994.
Marketing, general and administrative expense was $290.9 million for 1993,
$270.2 million for 1992, and $244.9 million for 1991. The increase from 1992
to 1993 was primarily attributable to increased legal expenses relating to
litigation with Intel, and microprocessor advertising rebates. The incremental
change from 1991 to 1992 was mainly related to higher sales commissions and
advertising expense and larger bonus and profit-sharing accruals. Marketing,
general and administrative expense was 18 percent of sales in 1993 and 1992 and
20 percent in 1991.
In summary, total operating expenses were $1,343.2 million in 1993, $1,244.5
million in 1992 and $1,117.5 million in 1991. Operating expenses as a
percentage of sales were on a downward trend from 1991 through 1993. As a
result of this trend, operating income as a percentage of sales rose to 19
percent in 1993 as compared to 18 percent in 1992 and 9 percent in 1991.
Although the company is continuing to focus on cost-containment, operating
expenses may rise in 1994 due to further increases in depreciation and to
foundry expenses, which are dependent on product demand.
Interest and other income was $16.5 million in 1993, down from $18.9 million
in 1992, and $57.0 million in 1991. While cash balances increased, interest
income declined to $16.0 million in 1993 from $16.6 million in 1992, due to
lower interest rates during 1993. Interest income increased by $8.0 million
from 1991 because of higher cash available for investment. Interest and other
income included the net gain on sale of assets for all three years. A net gain
of $46.1 million was realized in 1991 on the sale or disposition of assets,
primarily attributable to the sale of 3.5 million shares of Xilinx, Inc. Net
interest expense was $3.8 million in 1993, down from $17.2 million in 1992 and
$20.9 million in 1991 due to lower average outstanding debt and lower interest
rates.
Provision for taxes on income was $89.0 million in 1993, $26.6 million in
1992 and zero in 1991. The 1993 income tax provision increased to 28 percent
from 10 percent in the prior year as book net operating loss carryforwards were
fully utilized in 1992. The 1991 income tax provision included a reduction of
previously provided taxes recorded in deferred income taxes as a result of the
settlement of various tax audits during the year. Management anticipates that
the provision for taxes on income will be between 30 and 32 percent in 1994.
Effective December 28, 1992, the company changed its method of accounting
for income taxes to the liability method required by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS No. 109). As permitted by SFAS No. 109,
prior periods' financial statements have not been restated. A valuation
allowance of approximately $26 million was provided at December 26, 1993, for
certain deferred tax assets related to stock-option deductions. The company
believes that the realization of remaining deferred tax assets (approximately
$100 million at December 26, 1993) is more likely than not to be realized
because of offsetting deferred tax liabilities (approximately $65 million at
December 26, 1993) and potential tax carrybacks. There was no effect on net
income by adopting SFAS No. 109 in 1993.
The company recorded net income before preferred stock dividends of $228.8
million in 1993, $245.0 million in 1992 and $145.3 million in 1991. After
preferred stock dividends of $10.4 million for each of the three years, the
primary net income per common share was $2.30 for 1993, $2.57 for 1992 and
$1.53 for 1991.
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
15
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL
CONDITION
fluctuations in product demand, and the ability to 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 the following factors: market acceptance and
timing of new products, trends in the personal computer marketplace, capacity
constraints, intense price competition, interruption of manufacturing materials
supply, negative changes in international economic conditions and decisions in
legal disputes relating to intellectual property rights.
Due to the factors noted above, the company's future operations, financial
condition and stock price may be subject to volatility. In addition, a
shortfall in revenue 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
The company's financial condition improved during 1993. Cash and cash
equivalents and temporary cash investments rose by $157.1 million to $488.2
million from 1992 to 1993. Net cash provided from operating activities was
offset by the purchase of property, plant and equipment of $323.7 million in
1993 to expand manufacturing capacity and also by the purchase of temporary
cash investments. Capital acquisitions have been on an upward trend in each of
the three years, and this trend is expected to continue in excess of $500
million in 1994 mainly for Fab 25 (see following discussion). In summary,
positive cash flow of $8.4 million was generated in 1993 as compared to
negative cash flow of $101.9 in 1992. This cash flow improvement was due to
higher net cash provided by operating activities, proceeds from stock issuances
to employees and Fujitsu Limited in 1993 and retirement of long-term debt in
1992.
Restricted cash totaling approximately $33.2 million was pledged by the
company to stay execution of a $27.4 million judgment, plus interest, in favor
of Brooktree Corporation. In the first quarter of 1993, the company and
Brooktree Corporation settled all pending litigation and agreed that AMD would
pay Brooktree $26.8 million. AMD made full payment on this settlement in the
second quarter of 1993.
In 1993, the company's current ratio grew to 2.12 from 2.09 in 1992 and 1.38
in 1991. Working capital grew by $124.5 million from $385.1 million in 1992 to
$509.6 million in 1993. This growth is primarily due to an increase in
temporary cash investments and accounts receivable resulting from higher sales
that more than offset higher accounts payable in 1993.
The company is currently involved in litigations with Intel Corporation (see
Note 12 of the Consolidated Financial Statements and 1993 Annual Report on Form
10K, Item 3, Legal Proceedings). While it is impossible to predict the
resolutions of the AMD/Intel litigations, there could be a material adverse
effect on the financial condition, or trends in results of operations of the
company, or the ability to raise necessary capital, or some combination of the
foregoing if the outcome of the Intel litigations either results in an award to
Intel of material monetary damages, or the company's intellectual property
rights are not sustained with regard to the Am386 or the Am486 products such
that the company is precluded from producing and selling Am386, Am486 and
future generations of microprocessors that are adjudicated to contain Intel
intellectual property, or from selling such products at competitive prices.
In July 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 billion when fully
equipped. The first phase of construction and initial equipment installation is
expected to cost approximately $400 million through 1994.
Volume production is 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 "Fujitsu-AMD Semiconductor Limited (FASL)." The
forecasted joint venture costs are denominated in yen and therefore are subject
to change due to fluctuations of foreign exchange rates. 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 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. During 1993, the company's investment in FASL was immaterial; however,
management anticipates this investment will increase substantially, to
approximately $135 million in 1994. The company is also required under the
terms of the joint venture to contribute approximately one-half of such
additional amounts as may be necessary to sustain FASL's operations. The
facility, which will be capable of producing flash memory devices utilizing
CMOS process technology, is expected to begin operations in the fourth quarter
of 1994. Volume production is expected to begin in the first half of 1995.
As of the end of 1993, the company had the following financing arrangements:
unsecured committed bank lines of credit of $105 million, unutilized; long-term
secured equipment lease lines of $110 million, of which $65 million were
utilized; and short-term, unsecured uncommitted bank credit in the amount of
$83 million, of which $31 million was outstanding.
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 changes and litigation outcomes.
Management believes that, absent unfavorable litigation outcomes, 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 next several years.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 26, 1993, December 27, 1992, and December 29, 1991
1. 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 26, 1993. This
compares with a 52-week fiscal year for 1992 and 1991, which ended on December
27 and 29, 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. Realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses, which
have not been material, are included in results of operations.
Cash Equivalents. Cash equivalents consist of short-term financial instruments
which are readily convertible to cash and generally have original maturities of
three months or less at the time of acquisition.
Temporary Cash Investments. Temporary cash investments consist of commercial
paper, time deposits, certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances and
marketable direct obligations of the United States Treasury, maturing within
one year. Investments in time deposits and certificates of deposit are acquired
from banks having combined capital, surplus and undivided profits of not less
than $200 million. Investments in commercial paper of industrial firms and
financial institutions are rated A1, P1 or better. Temporary cash investments
are carried at cost which approximates market.
Inventories. Inventories are stated principally at standard costs adjusted to
approximate the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) 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." AMD's share
of the joint venture is 49.95 percent and the investment is being accounted for
under the equity method. As of December 26, 1993, the amount invested in the
joint venture and the company's share of its results of operations were
immaterial.
Pursuant to a cross-equity provision between AMD and Fujitsu Limited, the
company purchased $10.8 million of Fujitsu Limited shares, with certain resale
restrictions. This investment is accounted for under the cost method. Under the
same provision, Fujitsu Limited has purchased 1 million shares of AMD common
stock and is required to purchase an additional 3.5 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." As permitted by SFAS No. 109, the company has elected not to restate
its financial statements for any periods prior to December 28, 1992. There was
no effect of adopting SFAS No. 109 on net income for the year ended December
26, 1993.
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.
Off-Balance-Sheet Risk. The company enters into various off-balance-sheet
financial transactions, including currency-forward contracts and interest rate
swaps to hedge its currency and interest-rate exposures. These instruments
involve, to a varying degree, elements of market and interest rate risk not
recognized in the consolidated financial statements.
Gains and losses associated with currency rate changes on forward contracts
are recorded currently in income unless the contract hedges a firm commitment,
in which case any gains and losses are deferred and included as a component of
the related transaction. Generally, the interest element of the forward
contract is recognized over the life of the contract.
As of December 26, 1993, the company had approximately $33.8 million in net
forward contracts outstanding. Based on quotes from brokers, the carrying
amounts of these contracts approximate their fair values.
While the contract or notional amounts often are used to express the volume
of these transactions, the amounts potentially subject to credit risk 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.
The company controls credit risk through credit approvals, limits, and
monitoring procedures. Credit rating policies similar to those for investments
are followed for off-balance-sheet transactions.
20
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Concentrations of Credit Risk. Financial instruments which potentially expose
the company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of investments
and trade receivables. The company places its investments with
high-credit-quality financial institutions and, by policy, limits the amount of
credit exposure to any one financial institution. 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. Due to the company's credit evaluation and
collection process, bad debt expenses have been insignificant. The company
performs in-depth credit evaluations for all customers and requires advanced
payments or secures transactions when deemed necessary.
Financial Presentation. Certain prior-year amounts on the Consolidated
Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the 1993
presentation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
3. SALE OF 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 $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 preferred 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 $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 depository and 3,450,000 depository shares
have been issued and are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Each depository
share represents one-tenth of a preferred share, with the holder entitled,
proportionately, to all the rights and preferences of the underlying preferred
stock.
4. STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN
In February 1990, the company adopted a stockholder rights plan. The plan is
intended to enhance stockholders' value by encouraging potential acquirers to
negotiate directly with the company's Board of Directors, and to protect
stockholders from unfair or coercive takeover practices. 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.
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.

million and $.3 million for 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively, of stock option
deduction benefits recorded as a credit to shareholders' equity.
Under SFAS No. 109, deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of tax
carryforwards and temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets
and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for
income tax purposes. Significant components of the company's deferred tax
assets and liabilities as of December 26, 1993 and December 28, 1992 as
restated under SFAS No. 109 are as follows:

No provision has been made for income taxes on approximately $203 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 $71 million would accrue.
For federal income tax purposes, the company has general business credit
carryforwards of $19.0 million which will expire from 2000 to 2002. The company
also has alternative minimum tax credits of $11.3 million that can be carried
forward indefinitely.
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
1994 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 to
net income of approximately $5.1 million ($.05 per share) in 1993.
6. 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 26,
1993, 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.

Xilinx, Inc.
In December 1991, a net gain of $46.1 million on the sale or other
disposition of assets was realized, primarily attributable to the sale of 3.5
million shares of Xilinx, Inc. stock. Prior to the sale, the company owned 21

10. 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 10
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 26, 1993, 2,739 employees were eligible and participating in the
plans.

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 26, 1993, 5,621 employees were eligible to participate in
the plan and 1,361,252 common shares remained available for issuance under the
plan. A summary of stock purchased under the plan is shown below.

Board of Directors has authorized semiannual contributions. Profit sharing
contributions were $33.9 million in 1993, $30.0 million in 1992 and $12.1
million in 1991.
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 $3.2 million, $2.7 million and $2.6 million for 1993, 1992
and 1991, respectively. There are three investment funds in which each employee
may invest contributions in increments of 10 percent.
Restricted Stock Award Plan. The company established the 1987 restricted stock
award plan under which up to 2 million shares of common stock may be issued to
employees, subject to terms and conditions determined at the discretion of the
Board of Directors. The company entered into agreements to issue 19,000 and
564,650 shares in 1992 and 1991, respectively. To date, agreements covering
210,212 shares have been canceled without issuance and 1,049,964 shares have
been issued pursuant to prior agreements. At December 26, 1993, agreements
covering 235,000 shares were outstanding under the plan and 715,036 shares
remained available for future awards. Outstanding awards vest under varying
terms within five years. As of December 26, 1993, there were 186 employees
eligible and participating in the plan.
11. COMMITMENTS
The company leases certain of its facilities under agreements which expire at
various dates through 2010. The company also leases certain of its
manufacturing and office equipment for terms ranging from three to six years.
Rent expense was $31.9 million, $29.4 million and $29.7 million in 1993, 1992
and 1991, respectively.
For each of the next five years and beyond, non-cancelable long-term
operating lease obligations and commitments to purchase manufacturing supplies

12. CONTINGENCIES
AMD/INTEL LITIGATIONS
AMD is currently involved in the following disputes with Intel Corporation: (1)
the AMD/Intel Technology Exchange Agreement Arbitration, (the "Arbitration");
(2) the 287 Microcode Litigation; (3) the 386 Microcode Litigation; (4) the 486
Microcode Litigation; (5) the Intel Business Interference Case; (6) the Intel
Antitrust Case, and (7) the International Trade Commission Proceeding ("ITC
Proceeding").
Technology Agreement Arbitration. A 1982 technology exchange agreement (the
"1982 Agreement") between Advanced Micro Devices and Intel Corporation has been
the subject of a dispute which was submitted to Arbitration through the
Superior Court of Santa Clara County, California, and it is now at the
California Supreme Court on appeal. The dispute centers around issues relating
to whether Intel breached its agreement with AMD, whether that breach injured
AMD, and what the remedies should be for the injuries caused to AMD. The
California Supreme Court is expected to render its decision by the end of 1994.
The company believes it has the right to use Intel technology to manufacture
and sell AMD's microprocessor products based on a variety of factors including:
(i) the 1982 Agreement, (ii) the Arbitrator's award in the Arbitration which is
pending review by the California Supreme Court and (iii) the terms of the 1976
patent and copyright agreement providing AMD patent and copyrights to Intel
products (the "1976 Agreement"). An unfavorable decision by the California
Supreme Court could materially adversely affect the company's financial
condition and results of operations as well as other AMD/Intel Microcode
Litigations discussed herein. The AMD/Intel Litigations involve multiple
interrelated and complex issues of fact and law. Therefore, the ultimate
outcome of the AMD/Intel Litigations cannot presently be determined.
Accordingly, no provision for any liability that may result upon the
adjudication of the AMD/Intel Litigations has been made in the company's
financial statements.
Microcode Litigations. Intel Corporation has filed three suits against the
company, alleging copyright infringement involving AMD's use of Intel microcode
in the Am80C287(TM) math coprocessors, the Am386 microprocessors and the Am486
microprocessors. The suits generally allege that the company violated
copyrights on Intel microcode and concern two agreements between Intel and the
company: (1) the 1976 Agreement and (2) the 1982 Agreement. The Microcode
Litigations are all in various stages of litigation.
Depending on the result and the status of the Microcode Litigations, an
unfavorable decision in any single or combination of the Microcode Litigations
could result in a material monetary damages award to Intel and/or preclude the
company from continuing to produce Am386 and Am486 products containing Intel
copyrighted microcode, and thus could materially adversely impact the company's
financial condition and results of operations. The AMD/Intel Litigations
involve multiple interrelated and complex issues of fact and law. Therefore,
the ultimate outcome of the AMD/Intel Litigations cannot presently be
determined. Accordingly, no provision for any liability that may result upon
the adjudication of the AMD/Intel Litigations has been made in the company's
financial statements.
Intel Antitrust, Business Interference and ITC Cases. The company filed an
antitrust suit against Intel Corporation in 1991, alleging that Intel engaged
in a series of unlawful acts designed to secure and maintain a monopoly in iAPX
microprocessor chips ("Intel Antitrust Case"). AMD seeks significant monetary
damages (which may be trebled) and an injunction requiring Intel to license the
80386 and 80486 to AMD, or other appropriate relief.
In November 1992, the company filed an action in the Superior Court of
California against Intel for tortious interference with prospective economic
advantage, violation of California's Unfair Competition Act, breach of contract
and declaratory relief arising out of Intel's efforts to require licensees of
an Intel patent to pay royalties if they purchased 386 and 486 microprocessors
from suppliers of those components other than Intel (the "Business Interference
Case"). No trial date has been set.
The United States International Trade Commission Proceeding ("ITC
Proceeding") was filed by Intel Corporation in May 1993, against Twinhead, a
Taiwan-based manufacturer which is a customer of both AMD and Intel. Intel
claims that Twinhead induces computer end-users to infringe on what is known as
the Crawford '338 patent when its computers, containing non-Intel 386 and 486
microprocessors, are used with multi-tasking software such as Windows, Unix or
OS/2. Intel seeks a permanent exclusion order from entry into the United States
of certain Twinhead personal computers and an order directing Twinhead to cease
and desist from demonstrating, testing or otherwise using such computers in the
United States. AMD's dispute with Intel in the Intel Business Interference Case
(discussed above) requests a declaration that the Crawford '338 patent is
invalid; accordingly, AMD intervened in the ITC Proceeding as a real party in
interest by filing a motion with the ITC to intervene on the side of the
respondents, and such motion was granted. The company has vigorously contested
the relief Intel seeks. An unfavorable outcome in the ITC Proceeding could have
an adverse effect on the company's ability to sell microprocessors to Twinhead
and other computer manufacturers in Taiwan and potentially, other countries.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Cleanup 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. There is no indication, however, that any public drinking water
supplies have been affected. The chemicals released into the groundwater were
commonly in use in the semiconductor industry in the wafer fabrication process
prior to 1979.
27
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 Cleanup 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 Semiconductors, (formerly Signetics
Company) in various combinations and degrees of responsibility.
The company has not yet determined to what extent the costs of any related
remedial actions will be covered by insurance. The three sites 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, plus penalties - which are 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.
SHAREHOLDERS AND SECURITIES CLASS ACTIONS
In Re Advanced Micro Devices Securities Litigation. In September 1993 five
class actions were filed, purportedly on behalf of purchasers of the company's
stock, alleging that the company and various of its officers and directors
violated sections of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5
promulgated thereunder, by issuing allegedly false and misleading statements
concerning the circumstances surrounding the company's development of microcode
for one of its Am486 microprocessor products. The complaints also alleged that
the company's conduct constituted fraud and negligent misrepresentation.
The five cases were consolidated and an amended class action complaint was
filed containing the allegations described above and an additional allegation
that the company made false and misleading statements about its revenues and
earnings during the third quarter of its 1993 fiscal year. The amended
complaint seeks damages in an unspecified amount. The company believes that the
ultimate outcome of this litigation will not have a material adverse effect
upon the financial condition or trends in results of operations of the company.
George A. Bilunka, et al. v. Sanders, et al. In September 1993, an AMD
shareholder, George A. Bilunka, purported to commence an action derivatively on
the company's behalf against all of the company's directors and certain of the
company's officers. The company is named as a nominal defendant. This purported
derivative action essentially alleges that the individual defendants breached
their fiduciary duties to the company by causing or permitting the company to
make allegedly false and misleading statements about the development of
microcode for one of the company's Am486 microprocessor products. Damages are
sought against the individual defendants in an unspecified amount. The company
believes that the ultimate outcome of this litigation will not have a material
adverse effect upon the financial condition or trends in results of operations
of the company.
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.
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 overall trends in the results of operations of the
company.
13. DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of
each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate
that value:
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The carrying amount approximates fair value.
Temporary Cash Investments
The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of
these instruments.
Short-Term Debt
The carrying values of these variable-rate borrowings approximate fair values
due to their short-term nature.
Long-Term Debt
The company has a 9.88 percent, $2.6 million mortgage with principal and
interest payable in monthly installments through April 2007. The fair value for
this mortgage loan is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on an
estimated interest rate of 9 percent for similar types of borrowing
arrangements. The company also obtained $20.9 million long-term borrowings at
the end of 1993. Due to the recent acquisition of these borrowings, the
carrying amounts approximate their fair value.
The estimated fair values of the company's financial instruments are as
follows:
1993
----------------------
CARRYING FAIR
Thousands AMOUNT VALUE
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash and cash equivalents $ 60,423 $ 60,423
Temporary investments 427,775 427,775
Short-term debt:
Notes payable 30,994 30,994
Long-term debt 23,494 24,321

Devices, Inc. as of December 26, 1993 and December 27, 1992, and the related
consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 26, 1993. 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 generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Advanced Micro
Devices, Inc. as of December 26, 1993, and December 27, 1992, and the
consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 26, 1993, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in note 12 to the financial statements, the company is a
defendant in various lawsuits with Intel Corporation regarding intellectual
property rights. The ultimate outcome of these lawsuits cannot presently be
determined. Accordingly, no provision for any liability that may result has
been made in the consolidated financial statements.
