BUSINESS GENERAL Seagate Technology, Inc. (herein "Seagate Technology", "Seagate" or the "Company") designs, manufactures and markets a broad line of rigid magnetic disc drives for use in computer systems ranging from notebook computers and desktop personal computers to workstations and supercomputers as well as in multimedia applications such as digital video and video-on-demand. The Company's products include approximately 100 rigid disc drive models with form factors from 2.5 to 5.25 inches and capacities from 170 megabytes to 9 gigabytes. The Company sells its products to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") for inclusion in their computer systems or subsystems, and to distributors, resellers and dealers. The Company has pursued a strategy of vertical integration and accordingly designs and manufactures rigid disc drive components including recording heads, discs, substrates, motors and custom integrated circuits. It also assembles certain of the key subassemblies for use in its products including printed circuit board and head stack assemblies. The Company's products are currently manufactured primarily in the Far East with limited production in the United States. In addition to pursuing its core rigid disc drive business, the Company is broadening its business strategy as a data technology company to more fully address the markets for storage, retrieval and management of data. In this regard, the Company has implemented a strategy to establish itself as a leading supplier of selected magnetic recording components, including thin-film heads, to other manufacturers. In line with this strategy the Company, in December 1994, acquired Applied Magnetics Corporation's tape head subsidiary, a manufacturer of magnetic recording tape heads for digital data storage. The Company has also invested in, and continues to investigate opportunities to invest in software activities (see Software Expansion, below). Finally, the Company's broadened strategy may include expanding its traditional rigid disc drive business to include other forms of data storage and retrieval, such as flash memory, where the Company has made a significant investment in SunDisk Corporation ("SunDisk"), a flash memory company. The Company anticipates that this broadened strategy may include additional acquisitions of, investments in and strategic alliances regarding complementary businesses, products and technologies. Neither the components business, the software business nor the investment in SunDisk was material to the Company's results of operations for fiscal 1995. SOFTWARE EXPANSION The Company is seeking to leverage its name recognition, existing presence in international markets, distribution channels and OEM relationships by offering software products directed towards the client/server environment. The Company anticipates that users of computer systems will increasingly rely upon client/server network computing environments and believes that as this reliance increases, users will demand software that more efficiently and securely manages and provides access to data across computer networked environments. As such, the Company is broadening its core competencies to include software products to meet these requirements. In May 1994 Seagate acquired Crystal Computer Services, Inc., a Vancouver, Canada based developer and marketer of data access and reporting software for the Windows platform. These products are sold as Crystal Reports, Crystal Reports Pro and Crystal Reports Server. In July 1994 the Company established an equity position in Dragon Systems, Inc., a Massachusetts based developer of advanced speech recognition technology and products for PC/workstation platforms. The Dragon family of products consists of dictation command and control programs, and developer's tools, including Dragon Dictate, Dragon Talk->To, and Dragon VoiceTools. 1 In August 1994 the Company acquired Palindrome Corporation, an Illinois based developer and marketer of storage management software for Novell NetWare based networks and enterprise LANs. Palindrome provides data protection and management software including disaster recovery planning, backup archiving, migration, hierarchical storage management (HSM), library and robotics control, and centralized management. In February 1995 Seagate acquired Network Computing, Inc., a California based developer and marketer of solutions for proactively managing NetWare file servers, workstations and SNMP devices. Its LANAlert product provides for automated monitoring and alerting of file servers and workstations. In March 1995 the Company acquired NetLabs Inc., a California based developer and marketer of network management software solutions for UNIX-based networks. NetLabs markets an integrated suite of application software products that enable users to automate and simplify the monitoring of network status and performance, detect problems, issue alerts and initiate corrective action, track inventory, and manage changes in network operation. In May 1995 the Company acquired Frye Computer Systems Inc., a Massachusetts based developer and marketer of network management software solutions for PC LANs. Fryes line of products, THE FRYE UTILITIES FOR NETWORKS, includes an integrated set of product modules providing solutions for complicated network management problems. In June 1995 the Company acquired Creative Interaction Technologies, Inc. (CIT), a North Carolina based network management software company. CIT makes AshWin, a batch scheduler for heterogeneous client/server computing. Seagate intends to continue its expansion into software and other complementary businesses and is actively pursuing discussions with companies that fit with its strategy. Key to the Company's software expansion success is acquiring companies that possess technology, development personnel and management providing long-term growth potential. However, implementation of this broadened strategy entails risks of entering markets in which the Company may have limited or no experience. In addition, such broadened strategy could result in the diversion of management's attention from the core rigid disc drive business which could adversely impact the core business. The broadened strategy has entailed and may continue to entail acquisitions of, or investments in, businesses, products and technologies. Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including difficulties in the assimilation of the operations and products of the acquired businesses and the potential loss of key employees or customers of the acquired businesses. RIGID DISC DRIVE TECHNOLOGY Magnetic disc drives are used in computer systems to record, store and retrieve digital information. Most computer applications require access to a greater volume of data than can economically be stored in the random access memory of the computer's central processing unit (commonly known as "semiconductor" memory). This information can be stored on a variety of storage devices, including rigid disc drives, flexible disc drives, magnetic tape drives, optical disc drives and semiconductor memory. Rigid disc drives provide access to large volumes of information faster than optical disc drives, flexible disc drives or magnetic tape drives and at substantially lower cost than high-speed semiconductor memory. Although products vary, all rigid disc drives incorporate the same basic technology. Inside a sealed housing, one or more rigid discs are attached to a spindle assembly that rotates the discs at a high constant speed around a hub. The discs, or media, are the components on which data is stored and from which it is retrieved. Each disc typically consists of a substrate of finely machined aluminum or glass with a magnetic layer of a "thin-film" metallic material. 2 Read/write heads, mounted on an arm assembly similar in concept to that of a record player, fly extremely close to each disc surface, and record data on and retrieve it from concentric tracks in the magnetic layers of the rotating discs. Areal density is a measure of storage capacity per square inch on the recording surface of a disc. It represents the number of bits of information on a linear inch of the recording track (called bits per inch or bpi) multiplied by the number of recording tracks on a radial inch of the disc. With the proliferation of multimedia applications, the demand for increased areal densities has and continues to increase at an accelerating rate since sound and moving pictures require many times the storage capacity of simple text. The Company is aggressively pursuing a range of technologies to increase areal densities across the entire range of its products including the use of advanced signal processing techniques such as PRML (Partial Response Maximum Likelihood) read/write channels, advanced servo systems, higher precision mechanics and a more advanced head technology. Today, all Seagate drives use inductive thin-film heads, which are based on semiconductor processing technology. However, to attain greater areal densities, the Company currently has under development magneto-resistive ("MR") thin-film heads to be incorporated into its recently announced 8 GB Barracuda drive, the ST18771, as well as into future products. MR heads have discrete read and write structures which take advantage of special magnetic properties in certain metals to achieve significantly higher storage capacities. There can be no assurance that the Company's development efforts will be successful. See "Product Development." Upon instructions from the drive's electronic circuitry, a head positioning mechanism (an "actuator") guides the heads to the selected track of a disc where the data will be recorded or retrieved. The disc drive communicates with the host computer through an internal controller. Disc drive manufacturers may use one or more of several industry standard interfaces, such as IPI (Intelligent Peripheral Interface), SCSI (Small Computer System Interface), ATA (AT Attachment), PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International Association) or proprietary interfaces, such as EISA (Extended Industry Standard Architecture). Rigid disc drive performance is commonly measured by four key characteristics: average seek time (commonly expressed in milliseconds), which is the time needed to position the heads over a selected track on the disc surface; internal data transfer rate (commonly expressed in Megabits per second), which is the rate at which data is transferred to and from the disc; storage capacity (commonly expressed in Megabytes), which is the amount of data that can be stored on the disc; and spindle rotational speed (commonly expressed in revolutions per minute), which has an effect on average latency or access to data. MARKET OVERVIEW Rigid disc drives are used in a broad range of computer systems as well as multimedia applications such as digital video and video-on-demand. The Company defines the major computer system markets to include mobile computers, personal computers, mid-range systems and high-end applications. Users of computer systems are increasingly demanding additional data storage capacity with higher performance in order to (i) use more sophisticated applications software, including database management, CAD/CAM/CAE, desktop publishing and enhanced graphics applications, and (ii) operate in multi-user, multitasking and multimedia environments. PERSONAL AND MOBILE COMPUTERS Desktop and portable personal computers are used in a number of environments, ranging from homes to businesses and multi-user networks. Software applications are primarily word processing, spreadsheet, desktop publishing, database management, multimedia and other related applications. The Company believes the minimum storage requirements in the past year for entry-level personal computers were generally 270 megabytes ("MB") to 540 MB of formatted capacity with average seek times of 15 milliseconds ("msec") or less. As the personal computer market has matured, users of 3 personal computers have become increasingly price sensitive. The Company's objective for the desktop and portable personal computer market is to design drives for high-volume, low-cost manufacture. Smaller footprint microcomputers, such as portable, laptop, notebook and sub-notebook computers require rigid disc drives in form factors of 2.5 inches or less that emphasize durability and low power consumption in addition to capacity and other performance characteristics found in their desktop functional equivalents. Personal digital assistants, hand-held and pen-based computers may use 1.8 or 2.5 inch hard disc drives or flash memory in the form of a PCMCIA card for additional memory. These applications also emphasize low power consumption as well as very high degrees of durability. MID-RANGE SYSTEMS Mid-range systems include high performance microcomputers, technical workstations, servers and departmental minicomputers. Applications are characterized by compute- and data-intensive solutions, such as CAD/CAM/CAE, network management, larger database management systems, scientific applications and small to medium-sized business applications such as materials requirement planning, payroll, general ledger systems and related management reports. Mid-range systems typically require rigid disc drive storage capacities from 1 gigabyte ("GB") to 4 GB per drive and average seek times of less than 12 msec. Mid-range systems typically use 3.5 and 5.25 inch disc drives. Due to the leading edge characteristics required by end-users of mid-range systems, manufacturers of such systems emphasize performance as well as price as the key selling points. HIGH-END APPLICATIONS Large systems include mainframes and supercomputers. Typical applications are medium and large business management systems, transaction processing, parallel processing applications and other applications requiring intensive data manipulation. Also inclusive in high-end applications are systems designed for video-on-demand and near-line storage. Users of these systems generally require capacities of 1 GB to 9 GB per drive with average seek times of less than 12 msec. End-users of large systems are less concerned than users of smaller systems with the size, weight, power consumption and absolute cost of the drive. As with mid-range systems, disc drive products are typically designed into these systems by the OEM with emphasis on performance, reliability and capacity. In this arena, data storage subsystems are used containing large numbers of spindles. Data integrity is paramount, so high device reliability and maintainability are key features. Mainframe, supercomputer and digital video systems also benefit from very high device data rates (up to ten times that in small computer systems). PRODUCTS The Company's products include approximately 100 rigid disc drive models with form factors from 2.5 to 5.25 inches and capacities from 170 megabytes to 9 gigabytes. The Company provides more than one product at some capacity points and differentiates products on a price/performance and form factor basis. The Company believes that its broad range of rigid disc drives is particularly appealing to customers, such as large OEMs, which require a wide variety of drive capacities, performance levels and interfaces. Producing for several market segments also broadens the Company's customer base and reduces the Company's reliance on any one segment of the computer market. The Company continues to devote its resources to developing products with industry leading performance characteristics and to being among the first to introduce such products to market. The Company continuously seeks to enhance its market presence in emerging segments of the rigid disc drive market by drawing on its established capabilities in high-volume, low-cost production. The Company believes it offers the broadest range of disc storage products available. MOBILE COMPUTING Announcement of the Company's first 2.5 inch family of drives was made in November 1990 with the ST9096 family. The Company has continued to expand its 2.5 inch family with two different form 4 factors, the 19mm high form factor which is designed to address the highest capacity segment of the mobile computing market, and the 12.5mm high form factor which is designed to address the sub-notebook market. In November 1992 the Company introduced a patented shock sensing technology called SafeRite-TM-. SafeRite technology allows for a much higher specification of operating shock and helps to prevent the drive from writing data "off track". This technology is available in all of the Company's 2.5 inch drives. In October 1993 the Company announced its ST9550 family, later renaming it the "Marathon" family. This 19mm height family was introduced in 455 MB and 341 MB versions. Recent additions to this family include the ST9655, the ST9420, and the ST9816, with formatted capacities of 520 MB, 420 MB and 816 MB respectively. The ST9655 and the ST9420 went into volume production during the first and fourth quarters of fiscal 1995, respectively. The ST9816 is expected to begin volume production in the first quarter of fiscal 1996. In January 1994 the 12.5mm high ST9300 family (Marathon "SL") was announced with 262, 210 and 131 MB versions. Volume production of the Marathon SL products began in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1994. Future plans for the 2.5 inch family of drives include continued higher capacities and lower cost designs. DESKTOP COMPUTING In January 1995 the Company began volume shipments of the newest Medalist xe product, the Medalist 545xe (ST3660). This 545 MB drive ended the fiscal year as one of the Company's highest unit volume products. The Medalist xe family of 3.5 inch low-profile cost-effective disc drives features capacity points ranging from 214 MB to 545 MB of formatted capacity. The design was leveraged from the earlier ST3290 and ST3144 products that had been shipping in volume in 1993. The Medalist xe family, formerly the ST3491 family, began volume shipments in the third quarter of fiscal 1994. Also in January 1995 the Company announced two new additions to the Decathlon family: the ST5850 and the ST51080. These drives have 850 MB and 1.08 GB of formatted capacity, respectively. Volume production of the ST5850 began in the third quarter of fiscal 1995. The ST51080 is expected to begin volume production in the first quarter of fiscal 1996. The Decathlon family of disc drives was first introduced in October 1993. The Decathlon family features a 3.5 inch, 19mm high profile which targets the emerging ultra-low profile PCs. This family also enables a mini-array package whereby up to six drives can be mounted in the space of one 5.25 inch full height drive. In addition to its unique form factor, the Company believes the Decathlon family offers the most energy efficient design in its class, providing advanced power savings for "Green PCs" and Energy Star systems. Volume production of the first product in this family, the ST5660 with 545 MB of formatted capacity, commenced in the first quarter of fiscal 1995. In May 1995 the Company announced another expansion of the Medalist family to include a higher performance series of products with 1.6 GB and 2 GB formatted capacities. As of June 1995, the Medalist 2140 (2 GB) is the highest capacity ATA disc drive announced in the industry. These new products are directed to the growing capacity and cost-effective requirements of the PC market. They are scheduled for volume production in the second quarter of fiscal 1996. The Medalist family now features drives with capacity points ranging from 700 MB to 2 GB. MID-RANGE SYSTEMS In October 1992 the Company expanded its low-profile 3.5 inch mid-range product line with the ST31200, a high performance drive with 1 GB of formatted capacity that began production during the first quarter of fiscal 1994. In October 1993 the Company expanded that product family to a 2 GB formatted capacity platform with the family name of Hawk. The Hawk 2 went into production the fourth quarter of fiscal 1994. In January 1994 the Hawk 4, 3.5 inch half-height 4 GB formatted capacity drive, was announced. Volume production began in the first quarter of fiscal 1995. In February 1995 the Company announced the Hawk 2XL in 1 GB and 2 GB versions. The Hawk 2XL features PRML read channels and embedded servos and is designed to provide a balance of price and 5 performance. Volume production of the Hawk 2XL is scheduled to begin in the first quarter of fiscal 1996. The Company plans to continue designing and manufacturing for the higher capacity, high performance and cost sensitive requirements of this market. HIGH-END COMPUTING High-end applications range from digital video, video-on-demand, high-end file servers, mainframes and minicomputers to supercomputers. Two new product families have been introduced by the Company to address this wide range of applications. The Barracuda family of 3.5 inch drives, first introduced in October 1992, had the highest rotational speed of any drives produced at that time. Since then three additional products have been added to the family. The Barracuda 4 and Barracuda 2-2HP were introduced in October 1993. The Barracuda 4 is a 4 GB formatted capacity, 7200 RPM drive in the half-height form factor. Volume production commenced in the first quarter of fiscal 1995. The Barracuda 2-2HP is a 2 GB formatted capacity high-performance drive in the half-height form factor featuring the 2 head parallel design which doubles the data transfer rate. Volume production of this product began in the first quarter of fiscal 1995. In January 1994 the Company announced the Barracuda 2, a 3.5 inch low-profile, one-inch high, 2 GB formatted capacity disc drive. Volume production of this product also began in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1994. In May 1995 the Company announced the Barracuda 4 LP, a 4 GB formatted capacity, high-performance drive in the low-profile form factor. The Barracuda 4 LP is scheduled for volume production in the second quarter of fiscal 1996. Also announced in May 1995 was the Barracuda 8. This 8.7 GB drive is the third generation of ultrahigh performance disc drives in the 7200 RPM, 3.5 inch Barracuda family. The Barracuda 4 LP and the Barracuda 8 incorporate three new technologies into the Barracuda family. The new technologies are MR heads, a PRML data channel and a high-performance embedded servo. These technologies allow for greater areal densities and result in increased capacity per disc. The Barracuda 8 is scheduled for volume production in the second quarter of fiscal 1996. Addressing the high-end 5.25 inch market the Company has continued to leverage its Elite product line. The Elite 3, with 2.9 GB of formatted capacity began volume shipments in August 1992. To address the emerging digital video and near-line storage applications the Company introduced the Elite 9 in October 1993. The Elite 9 leverages the established design of the Elite family to an expanded 9 GB of formatted capacity. Volume production began in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1994. OTHER PRODUCTS In January 1993 the Company established an equity position in SunDisk, a California-based designer, marketer and manufacturer of solid-state flash memory devices. These devices are designed for both integrated (embedded) applications and removable applications. The flash devices range from 1.8 MB to 175 MB and are best suited for highly rugged, power-sensitive environments. The Company offers warranty and out-of-warranty repair service to users of its disc drives. The Company also designs and manufactures disc drive components, primarily thin-film heads, principally for use in its own products but also for sale to other disc drive manufacturers. MARKETING AND CUSTOMERS The Company sells its products to OEMs and distributors. OEM customers incorporate Seagate disc drives into computer systems for resale. OEMs either manufacture and assemble computer system components into computer systems; purchase components to build their systems; or purchase complete computer systems and integrate the hard disc drives and other hardware and software. Distributors typically resell Seagate disc drives to small OEMs, dealers and other resellers. Certain resellers to which the Company directly sells its products also resell Seagate drives as part of enhanced packages (e.g., an add-on kit for a computer or as part of their own computers). Shipments to OEMs were 72%, 68% and 70% of net sales in fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. No customer accounted 6 for 10% or more of consolidated net sales in 1995 and 1994. During fiscal 1993 sales to Sun Microsystems, Inc. accounted for approximately 11% of the Company's consolidated net sales. No other customer accounted for 10% or more of consolidated net sales in 1993. OEMS -- OEM customers typically enter into purchase agreements with the Company. These agreements provide for pricing, volume discounts, order lead times, product support obligations and other terms and conditions, usually for periods of 12 to 24 months, although product support obligations generally extend substantially beyond this period. These master agreements typically do not commit the customer to buy any minimum quantity of products. Deliveries are scheduled only after receipt of purchase orders. In addition, with limited lead time, customers may cancel or defer most purchase orders without significant penalty. Anticipated orders from many of Seagate's customers have in the past failed to materialize or OEM delivery schedules have been deferred as a result of changes in their business needs. Such order fluctuations and deferrals have had a material adverse effect on the Company's operations in the past, and there can be no assurance that the Company will not experience such effects in the future. DISTRIBUTORS -- The Company's distributors, located throughout the world, generally enter into non-exclusive agreements for the redistribution of the Company's products. Distributors typically furnish the Company with a non-binding indication of their near-term requirements. Product deliveries are generally scheduled based on a weekly confirmation by the distributor of its requirements for that week. The agreements typically provide the distributors with price protection with respect to their inventory of Seagate drives at the time of a reduction by Seagate in its selling price for the drives, and also provide limited rights to return the product. SERVICE AND WARRANTY -- Seagate warrants its products against defects in design, materials and workmanship by the Company generally for three to five years depending upon the capacity category of the disc drive, with the higher capacity products being warranted for the longer periods. Warranty periods for disc drives have been increasing and may continue to increase. The Company's products are refurbished or repaired at facilities located in the United States, Singapore and Thailand. SALES OFFICES -- The Company maintains sales offices throughout the United States and in Australia, England, France, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Germany and Sweden. Foreign sales are subject to certain controls and restrictions, including, in the case of certain countries, approval by the office of Export Administration of the United States Department of Commerce. BACKLOG In view of customers' rights to cancel or defer orders with little or no penalty, the Company believes backlog in the disc drive industry can be misleading. The Company's backlog includes only those orders for which a delivery schedule has been specified by the customer. Substantially all orders shown as backlog at June 30, 1995 were scheduled for delivery within six months. Because many customers place large orders for delivery throughout the year, and because of the possibility of customer cancellation of orders or changes in delivery schedules, the Company's backlog as of any particular date is not indicative of the Company's potential sales for any succeeding fiscal period. The Company's order backlog at June 30, 1995 was approximately $1,103,000,000 compared with approximately $739,000,000 at July 1, 1994. MANUFACTURING The Company's business objectives require it to establish manufacturing capacity in anticipation of market demand. The key elements of the Company's manufacturing strategy are: high-volume, low-cost assembly and test; vertical integration of selected components; and key vendor relationships. The highly competitive disc drive industry requires that the Company manufacture significant volumes of high-quality drives at low unit cost. To do this, the Company must achieve high manufacturing yields and obtain uninterrupted access to high-quality components in required volumes at competitive prices. 7 The Company is currently in the early stages of automating certain of its manufacturing processes. In the coming year it expects several such processes to become substantially automated. The Company believes its competitors' level of automation is significantly greater than its own. Manufacturing of the Company's rigid disc drives is a complex process, requiring a "clean room" environment, the assembly of precision components within narrow tolerances and extensive testing to ensure reliability. The first step in the manufacturing of a rigid disc drive is the assembly of the actuator mechanism, heads, discs, and spindle motor in a housing to form the head-disc assembly (the "HDA"). The assembly of the HDA involves a combination of manual and semiautomated processes. After the HDA is assembled and servo writing has been completed, automated testing equipment subjects the HDA to several tests aimed at ensuring that it meets all of the Company's specifications for quality and performance. Upon completion of assembly and testing, circuit boards are added to the HDA and the completed unit is again tested prior to packaging and shipment. The Company uses statistical process control in an effort to continually improve its manufacturing processes. Final assembly and test operations of the Company's disc drives take place primarily at facilities located in Singapore, Thailand, Minnesota and Oklahoma. The Company has also announced plans to establish a disc drive manufacturing operation in the Republic of Ireland that will begin production in mid-October, 1995. Subassembly and component operations are performed at the Company's facilities in Singapore, Thailand, Minnesota, California, Malaysia, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Indonesia. In addition, independent entities manufacture or assemble components for the Company in the United States, Europe and various Far East countries including Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, China, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand. The cost, quality and availability of certain components including head, media, spindle motors, actuator motors, printed circuit boards and custom semiconductors are critical to the successful production of disc drives. The Company's design and vertical integration have allowed it to internally manufacture substantial percentages of its critical components. The Company's objectives of vertical integration are to maintain control over component technology, quality and availability, and to reduce costs. The Company believes that its strategy of vertical integration gives it an advantage over other disc drive manufacturers. However, this strategy entails a high level of fixed costs and requires a high volume of production to be successful. During periods of decreased production, these high fixed costs in the past have had and in the future could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations. Thin-film sliders are fabricated and assembled into head gimbal assemblies at the Company's facilities. Spindle motors are sourced principally from outside vendors in the Far East, although the Company is increasing its internal motor manufacturing capabilities. Actuator motors are sourced both from outside vendors and internally. The vast majority of the high-volume surface-mount printed circuit assemblies are assembled internally. The Company evaluates the need for second sources on a case-by-case basis and, where it is deemed desirable and feasible to do so, secures multiple sources for components. The Company has experienced production delays when unable to obtain sufficient quantities of certain components or assembly capacity. The Company maintains component inventory levels adequate for its short-term needs. However, an inability to obtain essential components, if prolonged, would adversely affect the Company's business. Because of the significant fixed costs associated with the production of its products and components and the industry's history of declining prices, the Company must continue to produce and sell its disc drives in significant volume, continue to lower manufacturing costs and carefully monitor inventory levels. Toward these ends, the Company continually evaluates its components and manufacturing processes as well as the desirability of transferring volume production of disc drives and related components between facilities, including transfer overseas to countries where labor costs and other manufacturing costs are significantly lower than in the U.S., principally Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and China. In addition, the Company is considering expanding its manufacturing operations into other third world countries. Frequently, transfer of production of a product to a different facility requires qualification of such new facility by certain of the Company's OEM customers. There can be 8 no certainty that such changes and transfers will be implemented on a cost-effective basis without delays or disruption in the Company's production and without adversely affecting the Company's results of operations. Although offshore operations are subject to certain inherent risks, including delays in transportation, changes in governmental policies, tariffs, import/export regulations, and fluctuations in currency exchange rates in addition to geographic limitations on management controls and reporting, the Company has not had any significant adverse experience in this regard and has significant experience in the offshore production of its products. Certain of the Far East countries in which the Company operates have experienced political unrest and the Company's operations have been adversely affected for short periods of time. PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT The Company's strategy for new products emphasizes developing and introducing on a timely basis products that offer functionality and performance equal to or better than competitive product offerings. The rigid disc drive industry is characterized by ongoing, rapid technological change, relatively short product life cycles and rapidly changing user needs. The Company believes that its future success will depend upon its ability to develop, manufacture and market products which meet changing user needs, and which successfully anticipate or respond to changes in technology and standards on a cost-effective and timely basis. Accordingly, the Company is committed to the development of new component technologies, new products, and the continuing evaluation of alternative technologies. The Company is presently concentrating its product development efforts on new disc drives and improved disc drive components as described below. The Company develops new disc drive products and the processes to produce them at four locations: Scotts Valley and Simi Valley, California; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; and Bloomington, Minnesota. Generally speaking, Scotts Valley and Simi Valley are responsible for development of 3.5 inch, 2.5 inch and smaller form factor drives intended for desktop, laptop, notebook and sub-notebook personal computer systems; Oklahoma City is responsible for development of 3.5 inch disc drives with capacities and interfaces intended for use in minicomputers, supermicrocomputers, workstations and file servers; and Bloomington is responsible for 3.5 inch and 5.25 inch products principally intended for use in systems ranging from workstations and superminicomputers to mainframe and supercomputers as well as new markets such as digital video and video-on-demand. The Company has focused its components research and development efforts in four main areas: motors, heads, media and ASICs (application specific integrated circuits). The major emphasis of this R&D is reduced size and power consumption, improved performance and reliability, and reduced cost. Disc drive customers require new products to have greater reliability with ever decreasing defective parts per million ("DPPMs") and ever increasing mean time between failures ("MTBFs"). The principal areas of research and development relating to motors are improved bearings, smaller form factors, lower power requirements, quieter operation, higher reliability, improved magnets and lower cost. The Company's head research and development efforts are focused on increasing recording densities, reducing the size and mass of the slider, developing suspensions and assembly technology for reduced head size, reducing the cost and increasing the reliability. This research and development includes substantial effort to develop and manufacture magneto-resistive ("MR") heads and advanced air bearing sliders for high areal density and small form factor products. There can be no assurance that the Company's MR head development effort will be successful and a failure of the Company to successfully manufacture and market products incorporating MR head technology in a timely manner could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and results of operations. Media research and development efforts are focused on higher performance materials for increased areal density and better substrate and surface topographies for lower flying height applications, improved head/disc separation margin and increased reliability. 9 ASIC development has been and will continue to be focused on optimizing the architecture for system performance, cost and reliability. In addition, the focus has been and will continue to be on reducing the number of parts, the amount of power consumption, and the size, and increasing areal densities by use of advanced signal processing techniques such as PRML (Partial Response Maximum Likelihood) read/write channels. The Company designs nearly all of its ASICs for motor and actuator control and manufactures some of these circuits. It designs many of the other ASICs in the drive such as interface and read/write, and procures these from third parties. In addition to developing new products and components, the Company devotes significant resources to product engineering aimed at improving manufacturing processes, lowering manufacturing costs and increasing volume production of new and existing products. Process engineering groups are located with the disc drive development groups and the reliability engineering groups in locations listed above; however, most of the Company's volume production is done in locations remote from these groups and the development of the volume processes are completed at the volume manufacturing sites. No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to successfully complete the design or introduction of new products in a timely manner, that the Company will be able to manufacture new products in volume with acceptable manufacturing yields, or successfully market these products, or that these products will perform to specifications on a long-term basis. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 1995, July 1, 1994 and July 2, 1993 the Company's product development expenses were $220,024,000, $171,907,000 and $154,005,000 respectively. PATENTS AND LICENSES The Company has been issued over 460 U.S. patents and approximately 370 foreign patents relating to certain of its disc drive components and manufacturing processes. The Company also has approximately 254 U.S. and 250 foreign patent applications pending. Due to the rapid technological change that characterizes the rigid disc drive industry, the Company believes that the improvement of existing products, reliance upon trade secrets and unpatented proprietary know-how and development of new products are generally more important than patent protection in establishing and maintaining a competitive advantage. Nevertheless, the Company believes that patents are of value to its business and intends to continue its efforts to obtain patents, when available, in connection with its research and development program. There can be no assurance that any patents obtained will provide substantial protection or be of commercial benefit to the Company, or that their validity will not be challenged. Because of rapid technological development in the disc drive industry, it is possible that certain of the Company's products could involve infringement of existing patents. The rigid disc drive industry has been characterized by significant litigation relating to patent and other intellectual property rights. From time to time, the Company receives claims that certain of its products infringe patents of third parties. Although the Company has been able to resolve some such claims or potential claims by obtaining licenses or rights under the patents in question without a material adverse affect on the Company, other such claims are pending which if resolved unfavorably to the Company could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business. For a description of current disputes see the "Litigation" note to the Company's consolidated financial statements. In addition, the costs of engaging in intellectual property litigation may be substantial regardless of outcome. The Company has patent cross licenses with Areal Technology, Hewlett-Packard Company, NEC Corporation, Toshiba Corporation, Hitachi, Ltd., Quantum Corporation, Western Digital Corporation, Ceridian Corporation (formerly Control Data Corporation), IBM, Maxtor Corporation, Read-Rite Corporation, Applied Magnetics Corporation and Headway Technologies, Inc., and is licensed under certain Unysis, Bull and Bull SA disc drive and controller patents by virtue of such companies' former ownership of Magnetic Peripherals Inc., now merged into the Company. Additionally, the Company has agreements in principle with other major disc drive companies. 10 COMPETITION The rigid disc drive industry is intensely competitive, with manufacturers competing for a limited number of major customers. The principal competitive factors in the rigid disc drive market include product quality and reliability, form factor, storage capacity, price per unit, price per megabyte, product performance, production volume capability and responsiveness to customers. The relative importance of these factors varies with different customers and for different products. The Company believes that it is generally competitive as to these factors. The Company has experienced and expects to continue to experience intense competition from a number of domestic and foreign companies, some of which have far greater resources than the Company. In addition to independent rigid disc drive manufacturers, the Company also faces competition from present and potential customers, including IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Toshiba, NEC and Fujitsu Limited who continually evaluate whether to manufacture their own drives or purchase them from outside sources. These manufacturers also sell drives to third parties which results in direct competition with the Company. Product life cycles are relatively short in the disc drive industry. The Company expects its competitors to offer new and existing products at prices necessary to gain or retain market share and customers. To remain competitive, the Company believes it will be necessary to continue to reduce its prices and aggressively enhance its product offerings. In addition to the foregoing, the ability of the Company to compete successfully will also depend on its ability to provide timely product introductions and to continue to reduce production costs. The Company's establishment and ongoing expansion of production facilities in Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and China are directed toward such cost reductions. The Company's four development centers and market-focused design strategies are structured for time-to-market product introductions. The introduction of products using alternative technologies could be a significant source of competition. For example, optical recording and high-speed semiconductor memory could compete with the Company's products in the future. Although optical disc technologies are attractive for certain archival and imaging applications, they have lower performance and are more costly than magnetic disc drives and the Company does not believe that they will be competitive with magnetic disc drives in the near future in markets requiring on-line, random access, non-volatile mass storage. Semiconductor memory (SRAM and DRAM) is much faster than magnetic disc drives, but currently is volatile (i.e., subject to loss of data in the event of power failure) and much more costly. Flash EE prom, a nonvolatile semiconductor memory, is currently much more costly and, while it has higher read performance than disc drives, it has lower write performance. Flash EE prom could become competitive in the near future for applications requiring less storage capacity (i.e., less than 40 MB) than is required in the Company's more traditional computer related market place. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and/or similar state agencies have identified the Company as a potentially responsible party with respect to environmental conditions at several different sites to which hazardous wastes had been shipped or from which they were released. These sites were acquired by the Company from Ceridian Corporation ("Ceridian") (formerly Control Data Corporation) in fiscal 1990. Other parties have also been identified at certain of these sites as potentially responsible parties. Many of these parties either have shared or likely will share in the costs associated with the sites. Investigative and/or remedial activities are ongoing at such sites. The Company's portion of the estimated cost of investigation and remediation of known contamination at the sites to be incurred after June 30, 1995 was approximately $14,900,000. Through June 30, 1995 the Company had recovered approximately $2,500,000 from Ceridian through its indemnification and cost sharing agreements with Ceridian and, in addition, expects to recover approximately $9,800,000 from Ceridian over the next 30 years. After deducting the expected recoveries from Ceridian, the expected aggregate undiscounted liability was approximately $5,100,000 at 11 June 30, 1995 with payments expected to begin in 1999. The total liability for all sites recorded by the Company after considering the estimated effects of inflation, reimbursements by Ceridian and discounting was approximately $3,000,000 at June 30, 1995. The Company believes that the indemnification and cost-sharing agreements entered into with Ceridian and the reserves that the Company has established with respect to its future environmental costs are such that, based on present information available to it, future environmental costs related to currently known contamination will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. EMPLOYEES From July 1, 1994 to June 30, 1995, the number of persons employed worldwide by the Company increased from approximately 53,000 to approximately 65,000. Approximately 55,000 of the Company's employees were located in the Company's Far East operations as of June 30, 1995. In addition, the Company makes use of supplemental employees, principally in manufacturing, who are hired on an as-needed basis. Management believes that the future success of the Company will depend in part on its ability to attract and retain qualified employees at all levels, of which there can be no assurance. The Company believes that its employee relations are good. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES Seagate's executive offices are located in Scotts Valley, California.

STOCK AND DIVIDEND INFORMATION The Company's common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "SEG". Until December 12, 1994 the Company's stock traded on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "SGAT". The price range per share, reflected in the above tables, is the highest and lowest sale prices for the Company's stock as reported by the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq, as applicable, during each quarter. The Company's present policy is to retain its earnings to finance future growth. The Company has never paid cash dividends and has no present intention to pay cash dividends. At June 30, 1995 there were approximately 4,552 shareholders of record. 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the five-year summary of selected financial data and the Company's consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto. All references to years represent fiscal years unless otherwise noted. BUSINESS The Company designs, manufactures and markets a broad line of rigid magnetic disc drives and disc drive components for use in computer systems ranging from notebook computers and desktop personal computers to workstations and supercomputers as well as in multimedia applications such as digital video and video-on-demand. The Company sells its products to original equipment manufacturers for inclusion in their computer systems or subsystems, and to distributors, resellers and dealers. The Company has pursued a strategy of vertical integration and accordingly designs and manufactures rigid disc drive components including recording heads, discs, substrates, motors and custom integrated circuits. It also assembles certain of the key subassemblies for use in its products including printed circuit board and head stack assemblies. The Company has also invested in, and continues to investigate opportunities to invest in software activities. The Company anticipates that users of computer systems will increasingly rely upon client/server network computing environments and believes that as this reliance increases, users will demand software that more efficiently and securely manages and provides access to data across computer networked environments. As such, the Company is broadening its core competencies to include software products to meet these requirements. OPERATIONS The following table sets forth certain items in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income as a percentage of net sales for each of the three years ended June 30, 1995.

1995 VS 1994 Net sales in 1995 were 30% higher than those reported in 1994. The increase was primarily due to a higher level of unit shipments and a shift in mix to the Company's higher priced products partially offset by a continuing decline in the average unit sales prices of the Company's products as a result of competitive market conditions. The rigid disc drive industry in which the Company operates is characterized by declining unit sales prices over the life of a product and the Company believes this characteristic will continue. The increase in gross margin as a percentage of net sales over the prior year was primarily due to a shift in mix to the Company's newer, higher capacity disc drives, an increase in units produced resulting in lower overhead costs per unit and a reduction in material costs partially offset by a decline in the average unit sales prices of the Company's products as a result of the competitive market conditions described above. Effective January 1, 1995, the European Union ("EU") established a new General System of Preferences (GSP). Under this revised code certain products which had been exempt from customs duties under the previous GSP rules, including hard disc drives imported into the EU from Singapore, again became subject to such duties (although at a rate lower than Most Favored Nation [MFN] duties). In addition, during calendar 1995 Singapore is progressively losing its status as a beneficiary country under GSP. As a result, hard disc drives produced in Singapore and imported into the EU will realize no reduction from full MFN customs duties after December 31, 1995. The imposition of such customs duties could negatively impact revenues or increase costs and adversely impact gross margins depending upon the extent to which such duties are absorbed by the Company. 4 Product development expenses increased by $48,117,000 (28%) compared with 1994, primarily due to increases in salaries and related costs, ongoing product development expenses of the recently acquired businesses, and costs incurred in connection with joint development agreements with Sony Corporation, Japan and Headway Technologies, Inc., as well as an overall increase in the Company's product development efforts. Marketing and administrative expenses increased by $37,117,000 (18%) compared with 1994, primarily due to ongoing marketing and administrative expenses of the Company's recently acquired businesses and increases in salaries and related costs, advertising and promotion and telephone expenses partially offset by decreases in the provision for bad debts, legal expenses and travel and entertainment expenses. Amortization of goodwill and other intangibles increased by $10,368,000 (81%) compared with 1994, primarily due to additional goodwill and other intangibles arising from various investments in and acquisitions of businesses in 1995 (see Acquisitions note to consolidated financial statements). The $70,360,000 charge for in-process research and development in 1995 consists of one time write-offs incurred in connection with the acquisitions of Palindrome Corporation, Network Computing, Inc., Netlabs Inc., Frye Computer Systems, Inc. and Creative Interaction Technologies, Inc. The Company intends to continue its expansion into software and other complementary businesses and is actively pursuing discussions with companies that fit with its strategy. As a result, the Company expects that it will continue to incur charges for in-process research and development as it acquires businesses. Net other income increased by $26,088,000 compared with 1994, primarily due to higher interest income from higher levels of average invested cash and higher interest rates, partially offset by higher interest expense from higher average debt outstanding. The provision for income taxes increased from $96,476,000 in 1994 to $149,257,000 in 1995 primarily due to the increase in pre-tax earnings in 1995 and an increase in the Company's effective tax rate from 30% in 1994 to 36% in 1995. The increase in the effective tax rate was due to the $70,360,000 write-off of in-process research and development incurred in connection with the acquisitions of software companies (see Acquisitions note to consolidated financial statements) that is not deductible for domestic tax purposes. The Company's Far East manufacturing operations in Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia operate under various tax holidays which expire in whole or in part during fiscal years 1997 and 1999. The Company provided income taxes at the U.S. statutory rate 5 in 1995 on approximately 59% of earnings from foreign subsidiaries compared with approximately 61% of such earnings in 1994. A substantial portion of the earnings from the foreign subsidiaries is free of foreign taxes. The net impact of these tax holidays was to increase net income by approximately $46,989,000 ($0.51 per share, fully diluted) in 1995, approximately $29,624,000 ($0.35 per share, fully diluted) in 1994, and approximately $28,543,000 ($0.37 per share, fully diluted) in 1993. The Company's effective tax rate before the write-off of in-process research and development was 30%. While the Company expects the fiscal year 1996 effective tax rate to approximate 30%, the actual effective tax rate may be higher than 30% if the Company incurs additional non-deductible charges in connection with future acquisitions. OTHER MATTERS The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and/or similar state agencies have identified the Company as a potentially responsible party with respect to environmental conditions at several different sites to which hazardous wastes had been shipped or from which they were released. These sites were acquired by the Company from Ceridian Corporation ("Ceridian") (formerly Control Data Corporation) in fiscal 1990. Other parties have also been identified at certain of these sites as potentially responsible parties. Many of these parties either have shared or likely will share in the costs associated with the sites. Investigative and/or remedial activities are ongoing at such sites. The Company's portion of the estimated cost of investigation and remediation of known contamination at the sites to be incurred after June 30, 1995 was approximately $14,900,000. Through June 30, 1995 the Company had recovered approximately $2,500,000 from Ceridian through its indemnification and cost sharing agreements with Ceridian and, in addition, expects to recover approximately $9,800,000 from Ceridian over the next 30 years. After deducting the expected recoveries from Ceridian, the expected aggregate undiscounted liability was approximately $5,100,000 at June 30, 1995 with payments expected to begin in 1999. The total liability for all sites recorded by the Company after considering the estimated effects of inflation, reimbursements by Ceridian and discounting was approximately $3,000,000 at June 30, 1995. The Company believes that the indemnification and cost-sharing agreements entered into with Ceridian and the reserves that the Company has established with respect to its future environmental costs are such that, based on 6 present information available to it, future environmental costs related to currently known contamination will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. The effect of inflation on operating results has been insignificant. The Company believes this is due to the absence of any significant inflation factors in the industry in which the Company participates. Gains and losses resulting from translation of foreign financial statements into U.S. dollars have not had a significant effect on the results from operations. The Company may enter into foreign currency forward exchange and option contracts to manage exposure related to certain foreign currency commitments, certain foreign currency denominated balance sheet positions and anticipated foreign currency denominated expenditures. Gains and losses on contracts to hedge identifiable foreign currency commitments are deferred and accounted for as part of the related foreign currency transaction. Gains and losses on all other forward exchange and option contracts are included in income currently. Transaction gains and losses have not been material. 1994 VS 1993 Net sales in 1994 were 15% higher than those reported in 1993. The increase over 1993 was primarily due to a higher level of unit shipments and a shift in mix to the Company's higher priced products partially offset by a continuing decline in the average unit sales prices of the Company's products as a result of competitive market conditions. Although price erosion for the Company's lower capacity products slowed considerably during the last half of 1994, price erosion for the Company's higher capacity products became more severe during this time period, particularly due to more aggressive marketing of disc drives into the merchant market channels by large OEM computer manufacturers. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of net sales from the prior year was primarily due to a decline in the average unit sales prices of the Company's products as a result of the competitive market conditions described above, partially offset by a shift in mix to the Company's newer, higher capacity disc drives, lower unit overhead costs resulting from increased unit production and reduced material costs. Product development expenses increased by $17,902,000 (12%) compared with 1993, primarily due to an increased level of new product introductions and increased salaries and related costs partially offset by decreased material costs. 7 Marketing and administrative expenses decreased by $13,377,000 (6%) compared with 1993. The decrease in expenses from 1993 was primarily due to a decrease in the provision for bad debts partially offset by net increases in other expense categories including legal expenses and salaries and related costs. Net other income increased by $8,220,000 compared with 1993, primarily due to higher interest income from higher levels of average invested cash partially offset by higher interest expense from higher average debt outstanding. The provision for income taxes increased from $76,002,000 in 1993 to $96,476,000 in 1994 primarily due to the increase in pre-tax earnings in 1994 and an increase in the Company's effective tax rate from 28% in 1993 to 30% in 1994. The Company provided income taxes at the U.S. statutory rate in 1994 on approximately 61% of earnings from foreign subsidiaries compared with approximately 59% of such earnings in 1993. A substantial portion of the earnings from the foreign subsidiaries is free of foreign taxes. Effective July 3, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109). As permitted by SFAS 109, the Company elected not to restate the financial statements of any prior years. The change had no effect on pretax income from continuing operations; however, the cumulative effect of the change increased net income by $3,000,000 or $.04 per share. The change was not material; therefore, the Company recorded the cumulative effect of the change as a reduction of income tax expense for the quarter ended October 1, 1993. In August 1993, the President signed the Revenue Reconciliation Act of 1993 which, among other things, increased the U.S. statutory rate to 35% from 34% retroactive to January 1, 1993. Net income was decreased and provision for income taxes was increased by approximately $2,900,000 for the quarter ended October 1, 1993 to adjust the net deferred tax liabilities for the cumulative impact of this rate change. OTHER MATTERS The effect of inflation on operating results has been insignificant. The Company believes this is due to the absence of any significant inflation factors in the industry in which the Company participates. Gains and losses resulting from translation of foreign financial statements into U.S. dollars have not had a significant effect on the results from operations. Transaction gains and losses resulting from hedging activities have not been material. 8 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At June 30, 1995, the Company's cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $1,246,626,000, a decrease of $86,916,000 from the prior year-end balances. This decrease was primarily a result of the Company's additions to property, equipment and leasehold improvements, its business acquisitions and equity investments and the repurchase by the Company of 4,457,500 shares of its common stock, largely offset by cash provided by operating activities and proceeds from the exercise of stock options and stock sales under the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The Company's cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments are being maintained in short-term liquid investments until required for other purposes. In May 1993 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" (SFAS 115), which requires a change in the method used to account for certain investments. The Company adopted SFAS 115 effective July 2, 1994. The cumulative effect as of July 2, 1994 of the adoption of SFAS 115 did not have a material effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. In December 1993, the Company completed an offering of $270,750,000 principal amount of 5% convertible subordinated debentures due 2003. The proceeds of the offering are being used to further strengthen the Company's financial position and to provide the Company with additional financial flexibility to take advantage of business opportunities as they arise. Such opportunities have thus far included the acquisitions of and investment in, complementary businesses, products and technologies. At June 30, 1995, accounts receivable were $567,747,000, an increase of $175,516,000 from the July 1, 1994 balance. This increase was primarily a result of the Company's higher sales volume. As of June 30, 1995, the Company had a domestic credit facility consisting of a $50 million line of credit. There were no borrowings under this line of credit at June 30, 1995 although approximately $11 million had been utilized for letters of credit. Additionally, the Company had approximately $33 million of non-domestic lines of credit which can be used for borrowings as well as letters of credit, bankers' guarantees and overdraft facilities. Although there were no borrowings under these lines at June 30, 1995, approximately $3 million had been utilized for bankers' guarantees and letters of credit. The Company also had approximately $27 million of lines of credit worldwide which can be used for letters of credit and bankers' guarantees, but not borrowings. Of the $27 million, approximately $6 million had been utilized at June 30, 1995. 9 The Company made investments in property and equipment in 1995 totaling $364 million. This amount comprised $147 million for manufacturing facilities and equipment related to the Company's sub-assembly and disc drive final assembly and test facilities in the U.S. and Far East, $137 million for manufacturing facilities and equipment for the thin-film head operations in the U.S., Malaysia and Northern Ireland, $55 million for expansion of the Company's thin-film media operations in California and $25 million for other purposes. The Company presently anticipates investments of approximately $950 million in property and equipment in 1996. The Company plans to finance these investments from existing cash balances and cash flows from operations. During the year ended June 30, 1995 the Company acquired 4,457,500 shares of its common stock for approximately $113 million. The repurchase of these shares was in connection with a stock repurchase program announced in July 1994 in which up to 7,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock may be acquired in the open market. The purpose of the stock repurchase program is to enhance shareholder value. The repurchase program also provides shares to be issued under the Company's employee stock plans and thereby reduces dilution from such plans. The Company is uncertain as to whether any further repurchases of its shares will be made in the foreseeable future. The Company anticipates that users of computer systems will increasingly rely upon client/server network computing environments and believes that as this reliance increases, users will demand software that more efficiently and securely manages data across computer networked environments. As such, the Company is broadening its core competencies to include software products that meet these requirements. During the year ended June 30, 1995, the Company acquired Palindrome Corporation, a storage management software company, and Network Computing, Inc., NetLabs Inc., Frye Computer Systems, Inc., and Creative Interaction Technologies, Inc., all network management software companies. The Company is also pursuing a strategy to establish itself as a leading supplier of selected magnetic recording components, including thin-film heads, to other manufacturers. In line with this strategy, the Company, during the year ended June 30, 1995, acquired Applied Magnetics Corporation's tape head subsidiary, a manufacturer of magnetic recording tape heads for digital data storage. The total cost of all businesses acquired during the year ended June 30, 1995, including acquisition costs, was $142,052,000 net of cash acquired. The Company intends to continue its expansion into software and other 10 complementary businesses and is actively pursuing discussions with companies that fit with its strategy. The Company plans to finance this expansion primarily through cash flows from operations and existing cash balances. However, it is also possible that the Company may utilize funds raised through equity or debt financing. The Company believes that its cash balances together with cash flows from operations and its borrowing capacity will be sufficient to meet its working capital needs for the foreseeable future. 11 CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS

15 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries after eliminations. The Company operates and reports financial results on a fiscal year of 52 or 53 weeks ending on the Friday closest to June 30. Accordingly, fiscal 1995 ended on June 30, 1995, fiscal 1994 ended on July 1, 1994 and fiscal 1993 ended on July 2, 1993. All fiscal years comprised 52 weeks. All references to years in these notes to consolidated financial statements represent fiscal years unless otherwise noted. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for most of the Company's foreign operations. Gains and losses on the translation into U.S. dollars of amounts denominated in foreign currencies are included in net income for those operations whose functional currency is the U.S. dollar and as a separate component of shareholders' equity for those operations whose functional currency is the local currency. The Company may enter into foreign currency forward exchange and option contracts to manage exposure related to certain foreign currency commitments, certain foreign currency denominated balance sheet positions and anticipated foreign currency denominated expenditures. Gains and losses on contracts to hedge identifiable foreign currency commitments are deferred and accounted for as part of the related foreign currency transaction. Gains and losses on all other forward exchange and option contracts are included in income currently. Transaction gains and losses have not been material. REVENUE RECOGNITION AND PRODUCT WARRANTY Revenue from sales of products is generally recognized upon shipment to customers. The Company warrants its products against defects in design, materials and workmanship generally for three to five years depending upon the capacity category of the disc drive, with the higher capacity products being warranted for the longer periods. A provision for estimated future costs relating to warranty expense is recorded when products are shipped. INVENTORY Inventories are valued at the lower of standard cost (which approximates actual cost using the first-in, first-out method) or market. PROPERTY, EQUIPMENT, AND LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS Land, equipment, buildings and leasehold improvements are stated at cost. Equipment and buildings are depreciated using the straight-line method over the 16 estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated life of the asset or the remaining term of the lease. INCOME TAXES The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109), effective July 3, 1993. Under SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured by applying enacted tax rates and laws to taxable years in which such differences are expected to reverse. In 1993, income tax expense was determined using Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 11 (APB 11). NET INCOME PER SHARE Primary net income per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the year. Common stock equivalents consist of stock options. Fully diluted net income per share further assumes the conversion of the Company's 5% and 6-3/4% convertible subordinated debentures for the period they were outstanding. CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity of 90 days or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates fair value. The Company's short-term investments comprise readily marketable debt securities with remaining maturities of more than 90 days at the time of purchase. Where the remaining maturity is more than one year the securities are classified as short-term investments as the Company's intention is to convert them into cash within one year. Effective July 2, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". In accordance with the Statement, prior period financial statements have not been restated to reflect the change in accounting principle. The cumulative effect as of July 2, 1994 of the adoption of SFAS No. 115 did not have a material effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. The Company has classified its entire investment portfolio as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in shareholders' equity. The amortized cost of debt securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Such amortization is included in interest income. Realized gains and losses are included in other income (expense). The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. 17 CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK The Company designs, manufactures and markets a line of rigid magnetic disc drives for sale throughout the world to original equipment manufacturers, distributors, resellers and dealers. Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily accounts receivable, cash equivalents and short-term investments. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and, generally, requires no collateral from its customers. The allowance for non-collection of accounts receivable is based upon the expected collectibility of all accounts receivable. The Company places its cash equivalents and short-term investments in investment grade, short-term debt instruments and limits the amount of credit exposure to any one commercial issuer. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired companies over the estimated fair value of the tangible and intangible net assets acquired. Goodwill and other intangibles are being amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from eight months to fifteen years. Accumulated amortization was $82,265,000 and $59,421,000 as of June 30, 1995 and July 1, 1994, respectively. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The following is a summary of available-for-sale securities at June 30, 1995:
Gross Gross Amortized Unrealized Unrealized Cost Gain Loss Fair Value In thousands ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corporate Bonds $374,999 $523 $(58) $375,464 U.S. Government Obligations 201,482 615 (116) 201,981 Commercial Paper 218,734 45 (10) 218,769 Money Market Instruments 112,151 515 -- 112,666 Municipal Bonds 72,200 46 -- 72,246 Taxable Auction Rate Preferred Stock 108,099 -- (546) 107,553 ---------- ------- ----- ---------- Total $1,087,665 $1,744 $(730) $1,088,679 ---------- ------- ----- ---------- ---------- ------- ----- ---------- Included in short-term investments $544,432 Included in cash and cash equivalents 544,247 ---------- Total $1,088,679 ---------- ----------
18 The gross realized gains and losses on the sale of available-for-sale securities were immaterial for the year ended June 30, 1995. The fair value of the Company's investment in debt securities at June 30, 1995, by contractual maturity, is as follows (in thousands):
Due in less than 1 year $680,214 Due in 1 to 2-1/2 years 188,246 -------- Total $868,460 -------- --------
FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value. The fair values of short-term investments, convertible subordinated debentures (See Long-Term Debt and Lines of Credit footnote) and foreign currency forward exchange and option contracts are estimated based on quoted market prices. The fair value of the Company's 7.7% note payable approximated its carrying value. The carrying values and fair values of the Company's financial instruments are as follows:
In thousands June 30, 1995 July 1, 1994 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Carrying Estimated Carrying Estimated amount fair value amount fair value ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cash and cash equivalents $702,194 $702,194 $804,717 $804,717 Short-term investments 544,432 544,432 528,825 528,825 5% convertible subordinated debentures 270,750 422,370 270,750 249,090 6 3/4% convertible subordinated debentures 266,838 280,180 266,838 224,811 7.7% note payable 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 Foreign currency forward exchange and option contracts -- (4,142) -- (946)
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company may enter into foreign currency forward exchange and option contracts to manage exposure related to certain foreign currency commitments, certain foreign currency denominated balance sheet positions and anticipated foreign currency denominated expenditures. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. At June 30, 1995, 19 the Company had forward exchange contracts totaling $114,000,000 maturing over the next twelve months for the purchase of Singapore dollars in support of the expansion and modernization of its Singapore facility. In addition, at June 30, 1995, the Company had approximately $60,000,000 of forward contracts for the purchase of Malaysian Ringets, $56,000,000 of forward contracts for the purchase of Singapore dollars, and had written option contracts amounting to $140,000,000 for the purchase of Singapore dollars, all to be utilized for ongoing operating requirements. The Malaysian forward contracts mature over the next six months, the Singapore forward contracts mature over the next three months, and the written option contracts for Singapore dollars mature over the next fifteen months. The unrealized deferred loss on the Company's foreign exchange contracts as of June 30, 1995, was not material. While the contract or notional amounts of the Company's forward exchange and option contracts 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 exceed the obligations of the Company. The Company controls credit risk through credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures. Credit rating criteria for off-balance-sheet transactions are similar to those for investments. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Accounts receivable are summarized below:

Equipment and leasehold improvements include assets under capitalized leases. Lease amortization is included in depreciation expense. In 1993, the Company reduced the number of years over which certain equipment is depreciated, resulting in additional depreciation expense of approximately $15,000,000. Depreciation expense was $163,771,000, $138,208,000 and $155,018,000 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. ACCRUED WARRANTY Accrued warranty of $103,246,000 and $66,105,000 is included in accrued expenses in 1995 and 1994, respectively, and accrued warranty of $116,833,000 and $72,515,000 is included in other liabilities in 1995 and 1994, respectively. 21 LONG-TERM DEBT AND LINES OF CREDIT Long-term debt consisted of the following:

The Company's 6-3/4% convertible subordinated debentures due 2012 are convertible into 6,278,541 shares of common stock at $42.50 per share at any time prior to maturity. Sinking fund payments begin in 1998 in an amount sufficient to retire annually 5% of the aggregate principal amount of debentures issued, calculated to retire 70% of the debentures prior to maturity. The Company's 5% convertible subordinated debentures due 2003 are convertible into 10,314,286 shares of common stock at $26.25 per share at any time prior to maturity. Subsequent to November 2, 1996 the debentures are redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, initially at 103.5% and thereafter at prices 22 declining to 100% at maturity, together with accrued interest. These debentures were issued in an offering not registered or required to be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended and therefore were offered only to "qualified institutional buyers" and "accredited investors" as defined by the applicable Securities and Exchange Commission regulations. These debentures are traded in the Private Offerings, Resales and Trading through Automated Linkages ("PORTAL") Market. In 1994 holders of the 5% convertible subordinated debentures due 2003 exercised their registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock of the Company into which such debentures are convertible. In 1995 the Company filed a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to register such shares of common stock. At June 30, 1995, the fair value of the Company's 6-3/4% convertible subordinated debentures, based on the New York Stock Exchange quoted market price, was approximately $280,180,000. At June 30, 1995, the fair value of the Company's 5% convertible subordinated debentures was approximately $422,370,000 based on the quoted market price from brokers of these securities. The aggregate fair value of the Company's other long-term debt approximated its carrying value at June 30, 1995. The Company maintains an unsecured domestic credit facility consisting of a $50 million line of credit under a credit agreement with four banks which expires in June 1997. Borrowings under this agreement bear interest, as defined in the agreement, at (1) the higher of the agent bank's prime rate (9% at June 30, 1995) or the federal funds rate or (2) at the option of the Company, an adjusted certificate of deposit rate or the London Interbank Offered Rate. The credit agreement provides for a commitment fee and restrictions on dividend payments and includes certain financial covenants. Through its overseas subsidiaries, the Company has short-term credit and overdraft borrowing facilities totaling approximately $33 million. Additionally, the Company had approximately $27 million in lines of credit worldwide which can be used for letters of credit and banker's guarantees, but not borrowings. Any borrowings or other utilization under these facilities are guaranteed by the parent company. For virtually all of the borrowing lines, interest is at the banks' prime rates. While there were no borrowings under these lines of credit at June 30, 1995, portions of the credit lines had been utilized to cover outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees as required in various supplier agreements, 23 and for forward purchases and sales of foreign currencies. As of June 30, 1995, the Company had available to it combined unused borrowing capacity of $69 million under its lines of credit worldwide. 24 STOCK OPTION AND STOCK PURCHASE PLANS Options granted under the Company's stock option plans are granted at fair market value, expire ten years from the date of the grant and generally vest in four equal annual installments, commencing one year from the date of the grant. Following is a summary of stock option activity for the three years ended June 30, 1995:

25 At June 30, 1995, options to purchase 1,923,533 shares of common stock were exercisable. In 1990, the Company established the Executive Stock Program and the grant of rights to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $.01 per share to each of three officers and directors of the Company. Subsequently, two of those officers/directors resigned, one in 1991 and the other in 1992. As a result of those resignations the Company repurchased 750,000 of the shares at their original purchase price, canceled the shares, and reversed the associated amortization of deferred compensation. The difference between the fair market value of the shares at the date of grant and the exercise price was recorded as deferred compensation in the financial statements and was charged to operations over a four year period. The amount charged to operations was $460,000, and $1,843,000 in 1994 and 1993, respectively. The Company also maintains an Employee Stock Purchase Plan. A total of 6,800,000 shares of common stock have been authorized for issuance under the Purchase Plan. The Purchase Plan permits eligible employees who have completed thirty days of employment prior to the inception of the offering period to purchase common stock through payroll deductions at the lower of 85% of the fair market value of the common stock at the beginning or at the end of each six-month offering period. Under the plan, 422,699, 558,988 and 482,698 shares of common stock were issued in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Common stock reserved for future issuance under the Company's Stock Option and Stock Purchase Plans aggregated 12,806,384 shares at June 30, 1995. In July 1995 the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the 1991 Incentive Stock Option plan to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance thereunder by 6,000,000, subject to shareholder approval at the 1995 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. EMPLOYEE PROFIT SHARING AND EXECUTIVE BONUS PLANS The Company allocates a certain percentage of quarterly pre-tax profits to its Employee Profit Sharing Plan which is currently distributed to employees, excluding officers, employed for the full quarter. The Company also allocates a certain percentage of quarterly pre-tax profits to its Executive Bonus Plan. Distributions to corporate officers under this plan are subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors. Charges to operations for these Plans during 1995, 1994 and 1993 were $54,130,000, $34,487,000, and $26,155,000, respectively. 26 INCOME TAXES The provision for income taxes consisted of the following:
In thousands 1995 1994 1993 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deferred Liability Method Method ---------------- -------- Federal Current $129,203 $40,280 $35,687 Deferred (16,020) 34,351 26,077 -------- ------- ------- 113,183 74,631 61,764 -------- ------- ------- State Current 27,280 13,907 13,526 Deferred (8,762) (894) (2,669) -------- ------- ------- 18,518 13,013 10,857 -------- ------- ------- Foreign Current 11,033 8,981 1,223 Deferred 6,523 (149) 2,158 -------- ------- ------- 17,556 8,832 3,381 -------- ------- ------- Provision for Income Taxes $149,257 $96,476 $76,002 -------- ------- ------- -------- ------- -------
The income tax benefit related to the exercise of stock options reduces taxes currently payable and is credited to additional paid-in capital. Such amounts approximated $20,553,000, $19,938,000 and $4,122,000 for 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. 27 Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities were as follows:
In thousands June 30, 1995 July 1, 1994 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DEFERRED TAX ASSETS Receivable reserves $ 17,876 $ 15,268 Inventory valuation accounts 13,496 9,017 Accrued compensation and benefits 21,787 14,382 Warranty reserves 85,214 54,132 Foreign net operating loss carryforwards 13,208 11,129 Other reserves and accruals 19,764 25,903 Accrued taxes 10,114 5,787 Other 10,181 6,325 --------- --------- Total Deferred Tax Assets 191,640 141,943 Valuation allowance (19,139) (17,522) --------- --------- Net Deferred Tax Assets $ 172,501 $ 124,421 --------- --------- DEFERRED TAX LIABILITIES Unremitted income of foreign subsidiaries $(245,206) $(199,766) Acquisition related items (31,248) (25,099) Property reserves (3,494) (12,242) Other (9,515) (10,331) --------- --------- Total Deferred Tax Liabilities (289,463) (247,438) --------- --------- Net Deferred Tax Liabilities $(116,962) $(123,017) --------- --------- --------- ---------
28 The valuation allowance has been provided for deferred tax assets related to foreign net operating loss carryforwards and future tax benefits related to the merger with Crystal Computer Services, Inc. not realized as of the combination date. The valuation allowance increased by $1,617,000 and $9,666,000 in 1995 and 1994, respectively. The differences between the provision for income taxes at the U.S. statutory rate and the effective rate are summarized as follows:

29 The Company's Far East manufacturing operations in Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia operate under various tax holidays which expire in whole or in part during fiscal years 1997 and 1999. Certain tax holidays may be extended if certain conditions are met. The net impact of these tax holidays was to increase net income by approximately $46,989,000 ($0.51 per share, fully diluted) in 1995, approximately $29,624,000 ($0.35 per share, fully diluted) in 1994, and approximately $28,543,000 ($0.37 per share, fully diluted) in 1993. Cumulative undistributed earnings of the Company's Far East subsidiaries for which no income taxes have been provided aggregated approximately $751,489,000 at June 30, 1995. These earnings are considered to be permanently invested in non-U.S. operations. Additional taxes of approximately $263,021,000 would have to be provided if these earnings were repatriated to the U.S. The United States Tax Court's decision concerning the federal audit for the fiscal years 1983 through 1987 became final during fiscal 1995. The Company has paid substantially all of the related tax and interest for this period. The result of the Tax Court's decision did not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. In 1994, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") concluded a field audit of the Company's income tax returns for the fiscal years 1988 through 1990 and issued to the Company a "Notice of Deficiency" (the "Notice") for those fiscal years. The majority of the proposed adjustments to income in those fiscal years related to the allocation of income between the Company and its foreign subsidiaries. The proposed adjustments to income and tax credits in the Notice resulted in proposed tax deficiencies of approximately $66,000,000 plus penalties and interest. The proposed income adjustments would also eliminate tax net operating loss and tax credit carryovers that have been used to offset taxable income and tax liabilities in other fiscal years. The impact on tax net operating losses and tax credit carryovers from the adjustments proposed in the Notice would result in additional taxes of approximately $22,000,000 for the three years ended July 2, 1993 plus interest. The Company on June 7, 1994 filed a Petition in the United States Tax Court entitled Seagate Technology, Inc. and Consolidated Subsidiaries v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue, Docket No. 9535-94, contesting these proposed deficiencies and related penalties. The IRS filed its Answer on August 4, 1994. The Company believes that the likely outcome of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. 30 The Company's federal income tax returns for the fiscal years 1991, 1992 and 1993 are presently under examination by the IRS. Certain foreign and state tax returns for fiscal years 1990 through 1994 are also under examination by taxing authorities. The Company believes that adequate amounts of tax have been provided for any final assessments which may result from these examinations. RESTRUCTURING COSTS In 1993, restructuring costs in the amount of $15,000,000 were provided for a consolidation of the Company's worldwide manufacturing and repair activities. This was a result of the Company's continuing aggressive pursuit of product cost reductions, particularly through improvements in its manufacturing processes and more efficient utilization of its most cost-effective manufacturing sites. BUSINESS SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION The Company operates principally in a single line of business: The design, development, manufacture and sale of a broad line of rigid magnetic disc drives and disc drive components for use in computer systems ranging from notebook computers and desktop personal computers to workstations and supercomputers as well as in multimedia applications such as digital video and video-on-demand. The following tables summarize the Company's operations in different geographic areas:

Sales and transfers between geographic areas are accounted for at arm's length prices which, in general, provide a profit after coverage of all manufacturing costs. Income from operations is net sales less operating expenses. The identifiable assets by geographic area are those assets used in the Company's operations in each area. The Company's European operations have not been disclosed as a separate geographic area because European sales are recorded by subsidiaries in other geographic areas and European identifiable assets are less than 10% of consolidated assets. 32 No customer accounted for 10% or more of consolidated net sales in 1995 or 1994. In 1993 one customer accounted for more than 10% of consolidated net sales for a total of $326,235,000. Net foreign currency transaction gains (losses) included in the determination of net income were $5,086,000, $4,164,000 and $(3,553,000) for 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. LITIGATION SECURITIES LITIGATION In 1988 a series of lawsuits were filed in Federal Court for the Northern District of California against the Company, alleging violations of the federal securities laws on behalf of a class of purchasers of the Company's securities. These lawsuits have been the subject of much pretrial proceedings, which have had the net effect of narrowing the claims made against the Company. On February 8, 1995 the Court granted defendants summary judgment completely dismissing all claims against the Company. On March 31, 1995 the Court also denied plaintiffs' motion for reconsideration of the summary judgment decision. Plaintiffs have appealed this judgment to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. In 1991 another series of lawsuits were filed in Federal Court for the Northern District of California against the Company, alleging violations of the federal securities laws on behalf of a class of purchasers of the Company's securities. Discovery is continuing and the trial date has been continued to October 7, 1996. The Company believes the 1988 and 1991 series of securities lawsuits are without merit and intends to vigorously contest them. The Company believes that the outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and/or similar state agencies have identified the Company as a potentially responsible party with respect to environmental conditions at several different sites to which hazardous wastes had been shipped or from which they were released. These sites were acquired by the Company from Ceridian Corporation ("Ceridian") (formerly Control Data Corporation) in fiscal 1990. Other parties have also been identified at certain of these sites as potentially responsible parties. Many of these parties either have shared or likely will share in the costs associated with the sites. Investigative and/or remedial activities are ongoing at such sites. The Company's portion of the estimated cost of investigation and remediation of known contamination at the sites to be incurred after June 30, 1995 was approximately $14,900,000. Through June 30, 1995 the Company 33 had recovered approximately $2,500,000 from Ceridian through its indemnification and cost sharing agreements with Ceridian and, in addition, expects to recover approximately $9,800,000 from Ceridian over the next 30 years. After deducting the expected recoveries from Ceridian, the expected aggregate undiscounted liability was approximately $5,100,000 at June 30, 1995 with expected payments of approximately $600,000 in 1999, $304,000 in 2000 and the remainder thereafter. Approximately $14,000,000 of the $14,900,000 total estimated costs described above is attributable to one site in Omaha, Nebraska. In 1994 the Company sold the Omaha property; however, the Company retains responsibility for and has indemnified the buyer with respect to all environmental contamination existing on the site at the time of sale. IT Corporation, a nationally known environmental consulting firm, has provided consulting services to Ceridian and the Company for the Omaha site for several years and has assisted the Company in estimating the liability related to the cost of remediation. This liability is based on a plan of investigation and remediation developed by IT Corporation pursuant to a Consent Order entered into by the Company and the EPA in 1990. The extent of contamination in the groundwater has been investigated and generally defined. According to the plan, the likely technology for remediation of groundwater at the facility will be pumping and treatment, while remediation of soils will most likely be accomplished by soil vapor extraction. A substantial portion of the Omaha liability was discounted by applying a risk free rate of 6% to the expected payments to be made by the Company over the next 30 years. None of the liabilities for any of the other sites has been discounted. The total liability for all sites recorded by the Company after considering the estimated effects of inflation, reimbursements by Ceridian and discounting was approximately $3,000,000 at June 30, 1995. The Company believes that the indemnification and cost-sharing agreements entered into with Ceridian and the reserves that the Company has established with respect to its future environmental costs are such that, based on present information available to it, future environmental costs related to currently known contamination will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. PATENT LITIGATION In November 1992, Rodime, PLC ("Rodime") filed a complaint in Federal Court for the Central District of California, alleging infringement of U.S. Patent No. B1 4,638,383 and various state law unfair competition claims. No trial date has been scheduled. 34 On April 17, 1995 the Court granted the Company's motion for summary judgment that certain of the Company's products did not infringe any claims of Rodime's patent. With this Order only three (3) of the Company's products (ST157, ST325 and ST351) remain accused in this action. The Company currently has under submission with the Court another motion for summary judgment seeking a judgment that the remaining three products do not infringe the Rodime patent. In addition, the Company earlier filed a number of other motions for summary judgment directed to issues other than non-infringement, and certain of these motions have been denied. However, at the Court's suggestion the Company has requested further argument on certain of these motions. In the related action of Quantum Corporation v. Rodime, PLC, a partially dispositive motion for summary judgment was granted by the District Court of Minnesota resulting in a final judgment of invalidity of certain claims of Rodime's U.S. Patent No. B1 4,638,383. Rodime appealed this adverse judgment to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and the oral argument of this appeal was heard on November 10, 1994. The Court of Appeals has yet to render a decision on this appeal. If the district court's ruling is upheld, it will establish precedent for the Company's defense, eliminating certain products from the case. It is the opinion of the Company's patent counsel that the Company's products do not infringe any valid claims of the Rodime patent in suit and thus the Company refused Rodime's offer of a license for its patents. However, many other companies, such as IBM, Conner Peripherals, Hewlett-Packard and a number of Japanese companies have reportedly made payments to and taken licenses from Rodime. On October 5, 1994, a patent infringement action was filed against the Company by an individual James M. White in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California for alleged infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 4,673,996 and 4,870,519. Both patents relate to air bearing sliders. Prior to the filing of the lawsuit, the Company filed a Petition for Reexamination of U.S. Patent No. 4,673,996 with the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("PTO") and this Petition was granted shortly after the lawsuit was filed. Subsequently, the Company filed a Petition for Reexamination of U.S. Patent No. 4,870,519. This second petition has also been granted by the PTO. The District Court stayed the action pending the outcome of the reexaminations. It is the opinion of the Company's patent counsel that the claims of the two White patents are invalid for the reasons set forth in the two Petitions for Reexamination. In May 1995, Personal Computer Peripherals Corporation (PCPC) filed a complaint against one of the Company's newly acquired subsidiaries, Palindrome Corporation, and a number of other unrelated defendants, -35- alleging infringement of U.S. Patent No. 5,133,066. The patent relates to a computer program for backing up data and program files on computer network systems. On July 31, 1995, without the Company having answered the PCPC complaint, PCPC voluntarily dismissed the patent infringement action against Palindrome without prejudice. OTHER LITIGATION Amstrad PLC ("Amstrad") initiated a lawsuit against the Company in London, England on December 11, 1992 concerning the Company's sale of allegedly defective disc drives to Amstrad. The Company replied to the allegations made against it by Amstrad by denying all material points of Amstrad's claim and asserting many affirmative defenses. Discovery is continuing and a trial date has been set for April 1996 with various earlier dates for exchange of fact and expert statements.
