EXPLANATORY NOTE

     

This Amendment No. 2 to the Lam Research Corporation Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 25, 2000 is solely to make the following corrections to the previously filed Form 10-K, as amended:

1. The "Operating Results- Restructuring Charges" section to Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" is amended to correct the table summarizing activity relating to the fiscal 1998 restructuring. Due to a typographical error, the table summarizing activity relating to the fiscal 1999 restructing was incorrectly inserted in place of the table relating to the fiscal 1998 restructuring. The correct table was included in the printed Form 10-K that was distributed to its stockholders prior to its annual meeting.

2. The "Exhibit Index" has been revised to reflect that the Company is filing its complete Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, with this Amendment No.2 to the Form 10-K; and to delete certain previously filed agreements that were no longer in effect as of the filing date of the Form 10-K and which had been entered into more than two years prior to such filing date.

3. Exhibit 3.1 has been replaced to file as one exhibit the Company's Certificate of Incorporation reflecting the last amendment which effected that previously disclosed March 2000 stock split. The previously disclosed Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock is filed hereto as Exhibit 3.3.

Results of Operations - Restructuring Charges

During our first fiscal 1997 quarter ended September 30, 1996, we projected and announced that revenues would be lower than previous quarters due to a projected 20% general market decline. Our revenues during that quarter fell to $299.2 million, a decrease of 24% from the prior quarter. We assessed that market conditions would remain depressed and, therefore, that our revenues would continue to be adversely affected. Accordingly, and as announced on August 26, 1996, we organizationally restructured our business units into a more centralized structure and cut our workforce by approximately 11%.

Our quarterly revenue would eventually decline to $233.3 million in the March 1997 quarter, 40% lower than the peak reached in the quarter ended June 1996. Subsequently, in the latter part of calendar 1997, the industry rebounded quickly and entered into what eventually became a short-lived upturn cycle. During the June 1997 quarter, our revenues grew back to $282.6 million and reached $292.1 million by the December 1997 quarter. However, our outlook in late January 1998 was that the industry was again entering into a steep downturn brought on by depressed DRAM pricing and the Asia financial crisis. We therefore announced a further set of restructuring activities in a news release on February 12, 1998. At that time, our assessment related to industry conditions was that our revenues for the March and June 1998 quarters would decline by approximately 20%. Our restructuring plans aligned our cost structure to this level of revenues by exiting part of our Chemical Vapor Deposition ("CVD") business and all of our Flat Panel Display ("FPD") business, consolidating our manufacturing facilities and substantially reducing our remaining infrastructure and workforce. Our actual June 1998 revenues were in line with those expectations; however, by the mid-June 1998 time-frame the industry conditions further deteriorated and the outlook for future quarters significantly worsened. We projected revenues to drop to a run rate of approximately $180 million per quarter and determined we needed once more to reduce our cost structure in line with the projected reductions in revenue. Accordingly, another separate restructuring plan was developed and announced in June 1998 and we exited the remainder of our CVD operations. As a result of the restructurings in fiscal 1998, we reduced our global workforce by approximately 28%.

Our revenue outlook in June 1998 was based on our projection that the worldwide wafer fabrication industry would deteriorate from a quarterly revenue amount of $4.2 billion to $3.2 billion, or a 25% decline. The semiconductor equipment market contracted beyond what was anticipated, to quarterly revenues of $2.6 billion as reported by Dataquest, an independent industry analysis firm. Our shortfall of revenues during the September 1998 quarter declined in line with the industry as a whole, and resulted in lower than anticipated revenues, falling to $142.2 million. At that point in time, we projected that our quarterly revenues would remain closer to the $140-$150 million level for at least the next several quarters. This necessitated another restructuring plan and further cost reductions via employee terminations, facilities consolidation and a contraction of operating activities, all of which resulted in the additional write-off of plant-related assets. This plan was announced and publicly communicated on November 12, 1998. As a result of the fiscal 1999 restructuring, we further reduced our global workforce by approximately 15%.

Beginning in late fiscal 1999, there were indications of a recovery in the semiconductor industry. On a global basis, semiconductor makers began adding new capacity to address an increase in the demand for semiconductors. In addition to new capacity, the semiconductor industry accelerated a migration to new materials such as copper and the new interconnect processes required to implement them. In early calendar year 2000, we concluded that the upturn would be sustainable and that it was likely to continue through the end of the calendar year.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2000 we completed certain elements of our restructuring activities in accordance with our previously established and announced plans. As a result of the stronger than anticipated recovery of the semiconductor capital equipment market, we were able to recover approximately $18.9 million of the restructuring charges recorded in prior periods. Of this amount $1.4 million was recovered due to outplacement services guaranteed by us for terminated employees and other exit costs not being utilized. Another $5.6 million was recovered because we were able to reoccupy or successfully sublease certain manufacturing and administrative facilities under long term operating leases. We also recovered $3.1 million through the sale of our previously abandoned and written off facility in Korea. Additionally, we will utilize leasehold improvements of $5.5 million in certain manufacturing and administration facilities under operating leases which have been reoccupied as a result of the stronger than anticipated rebound in business. Approximately $0.8 million was recovered from the salvage of CVD inventories previously segregated and written off due to requests from former customers to purchase certain piece parts. The remaining $2.5 million was recovered due to certain customers not utilizing system return credits they requested and which were issued as a result of the decision to exit the CVD and FPD businesses.

As a result of the continued growth of the semiconductor capital equipment market, we recovered an additional $17.0 million of restructuring charges during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000 at which time we completed the remaining elements of our restructuring plan. Of this amount, $9.5 million was recovered due to lower severance and termination costs than we had planned for certain employees and executives. Another $3.9 million was recovered from successful subleasing or occupancy of certain manufacturing and administrative facilities due to the aforementioned faster and more robust than anticipated industry recovery. We also recovered approximately $1.4 million from the sale of more CVD and FPD inventory. Another $1.9 million was recovered as a result of customers not utilizing system return credits they had originally requested. Additionally, we will utilize leasehold improvements of $0.3 million in certain manufacturing and administration facilities under operating leases which have been reoccupied as a result of the stronger than anticipated rebound in business

Severance and Benefits relates to the salary and fringe benefit expense for involuntarily terminated employees representing approximately 15% of the global workforce. Prior to the date of the financial statements, management, with the proper level of authority, approved and committed us to a plan of termination and determined the benefits the employees being terminated would receive. Prior to the financial statement date, the expected termination benefits were communicated to employees in enough detail that they could determine their type and amount of benefit. The termination of employees occurred shortly after the plan of restructuring was finalized.

Lease Payments on Vacated Facilities relates to 24 months of rent and common area maintenance expense for the vacated facilities. We also estimated given the then-current real estate market conditions, that it would take approximately 24 months to sub-lease our vacated facilities in Fremont, California.

We wrote-off all leasehold improvements used in the excess facilities, computer equipment, furniture and fixtures related to the involuntarily terminated employees, and other assets deemed to have no future use as a result of the restructuring.

Credits on Returned Equipment relate to the charge associated with the requirement by certain of our customers to return their previously purchased CVD systems and spare parts. The majority of the Credit on Return Equipment reserve balance of $1.7 million as of June 25, 2000 will be utilized by the end of the current calendar year 2000.

Severance and Benefits relates to the salary and fringe benefit expense of the involuntarily terminated employees of the CVD and FPD operations which were exited, the shutdown of the Wilmington, Massachusetts manufacturing facility, and the employees impacted by the overall across the board reduction of the employee base. Prior to the date of the financial statements, management, with the proper level of authority, approved and committed us to a plan of termination and determined the benefits the employees being terminated would receive. Prior to the financial statement date, the expected termination benefits were communicated to employees in enough detail that they could determine their type and amount of benefit. The 1998 restructuring plans resulted in our reducing our global workforce by approximately 28%. The termination of employees occurred shortly after the plan of restructuring was finalized.

The Severance and Benefits reserve balance of $1.9 million as of June 25, 2000 will be utilized to make scheduled cash payments through the remainder of those former employees' separation contracts.

Lease Payments on Vacated Facilities, which were included in the restructuring charge relates to remaining rent and common area maintenance on the closed Wilmington, Massachusetts manufacturing facility. We also estimated, given the then-current real estate market conditions, that it would take approximately 24 months to sub-lease our excess facilities in Fremont, California. Therefore, we included 24 months of rent and common area maintenance expense related to excess facilities in our restructuring charge. Subsequently, we have subleased our excess facilities, and the remainder represents fixed commitments that will be utilized.

We wrote-off all fixed assets relating to the operations which were exited, leasehold improvements for the excess facilities, computer equipment, furniture and fixtures related to the involuntarily terminated employees and other assets deemed to have no future use as a result of the restructuring.

The inventory write-off, which was included in the restructuring charge, related to inventory from the operations which were exited. The inventory write-off included raw materials on hand and inventory scheduled to be purchased under non- cancelable commitments from suppliers, spare parts, work-in-process and finished goods related to the products from the exited operations.

Credits on Returned Equipment relates to the charge associated with the requirement by certain of our customers to return their previously purchased CVD systems and spare parts. During fiscal 1999, we recorded an adjustment to the restructuring reserve of $1.5 million for the sale of a previously written-off machine. The remainder of the reserve was reversed during fiscal 2000.

Other Exit Costs relates to the net book value of licensing and manufacturing agreements related to the restructured operations which, as a direct result of the restructuring plan has no future economic benefit to us.

The Severance and Benefits reserve balance of $0.4 million as of June 25, 2000 will be utilized to make scheduled periodic cash payments through the remainder of those former employees' separation contracts.

Lease Payments on Vacated Facilities relate to rent and common area maintenance expense for the vacated facilities.

We wrote-off all leasehold improvements used in vacated facilities, computer equipment, furniture and fixtures related to the involuntarily terminated employees, and other assets deemed to have no future use as a result of the restructuring.
