OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL RESULTS
Second Quarter of the 2006 Financial Year
|
|
|
|
|
Infineon achieved positive EBIT in the second quarter after
four quarters of losses. EBIT increased significantly to
Euro 28 million from an EBIT loss of
Euro 122 million in the prior quarter, primarily due
to a return to positive EBIT in the Memory Products segment and
improved EBIT in the Automotive, Industrial and Multimarket
segment. |
|
|
|
Second quarter revenues increased strongly to
Euro 1.99 billion, up 19 percent sequentially,
reflecting significantly higher sales in the Memory Products and
the Automotive, Industrial and Multimarket segments. |
|
|
|
Net loss in the second quarter was Euro 26 million
compared to a net loss of Euro 183 million in the
prior quarter. |
|
|
|
Total revenues for the first half of the 2006 financial year
were Euro 3.67 billion, up 7 percent from
Euro 3.42 billion in the same period last year. EBIT
in the first half of the 2006 financial year was negative
Euro 94 million, a decrease from positive
Euro 94 million in the same period last year. |
For the second quarter of the 2006 financial year, Infineon
Technologies AG reported revenues of Euro 1,993 million, an
increase of 19 percent sequentially and 24 percent
year-on-year. The sequential increase in revenues was driven
mainly by the Memory Products segment and also by the
Automotive, Industrial and Multimarket segment. As expected,
revenues in the Communication Solutions segment decreased
moderately compared to the prior quarter.
EBIT in the second quarter of the 2006 financial year
increased significantly to positive Euro 28 million as
compared to negative Euro 122 million in the prior quarter,
driven primarily by improved EBIT in the Memory Products
segment, which achieved positive EBIT after a loss in the first
quarter. The company recorded a very strong EBIT increase in the
Automotive, Industrial and Multimarket segment that more than
offset the small EBIT loss increase in the Communication
Solutions segment.
Net loss amounted to Euro 26 million in the second
quarter of the 2006 financial year, compared to net loss of
Euro 183 million in the previous quarter and Euro 114
million in the same quarter last year.
Basic and diluted loss per share decreased to
Euro 0.03 in the second quarter of the 2006 financial year,
from Euro 0.25 in the previous quarter and Euro 0.15
in the same quarter last year.

Business Groups 2006 Second Quarter Performance
and Outlook
Revenues
Segment revenue developments during the second quarter of the
2006 financial year as compared to the previous quarter and the
second quarter of the 2005 financial year were as follows:
|
|
|
Net Sales by Segments for the
Second Quarter of the Financial Year
(in million Euro)
|
|
The
Automotive, Industrial and Multimarket segments second
quarter revenues were Euro 733 million, increasing
12 percent sequentially and 16 percent year-on-year.
The sequential increase resulted primarily from higher than
expected demand and improved operating performance in all
business units. This was primarily due to higher sales in power
semiconductors, in products from the ASIC & Design
Solutions business used in computer peripherals and due to very
strong demand and improved product mix in the security and
chip-card business.
Communication
Solutions revenues decreased sequentially to
Euro 308 million in the second quarter, down 8 percent
from the previous quarter and 7 percent year-on-year. The
decrease was primarily due to a decline in demand for baseband
components, which was not fully offset by significantly higher
revenues in the companys broadband access business.
The Memory Products
segments second quarter revenues were Euro 928
million, increasing 37 percent sequentially and
47 percent year-on-year. The significant sequential
increase was due to strong growth in bit-shipments and a slight
increase in average selling prices. The latter was driven mainly by higher pricing and
shipments of DDR2 memories and a higher share of specialty
products within the bit-shipments compared to the previous
quarter.
|
Second quarter revenues in the Other Operating Segments
were Euro 22 million, significantly increasing from
Euro 2 million in the prior quarter and from Euro 4
million in the same quarter last year. The increase resulted
primarily from the first consolidation of ALTIS, the
companys joint venture with IBM, at the end of the prior
quarter.
Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT)
EBIT developments during the second quarter of the 2006
financial year as compared to the previous quarter and the
second quarter of the 2005 financial year were as follows:
The Automotive, Industrial and Multimarket segments
second quarter EBIT increased to Euro 74 million from
Euro 51 million in the previous quarter and Euro 36
million in the same quarter last year. The significant
quarter-over-quarter increase was driven primarily by the
increased sales with a marked improvement in particular in the
EBIT loss of the security and chip-card business. Overall, the
segments EBIT as a percentage of revenues reached ten
percent despite ongoing expenses for the phase-out of production
at the Munich-Perlach facility and start-up costs for the new
production site in Kulim, Malaysia.
The Communication Solutions segments EBIT loss
increased to Euro 29 million during the second quarter from
Euro 21 million in the previous quarter, but significantly
decreased from a loss of Euro 142 million in the same
quarter last year. The EBIT loss increased sequentially due to
the sales decline. In its broadband access business, the company
reported another increase in operating results in the second
quarter of the 2006 financial year.
The Memory Products segments second quarter EBIT
results significantly improved to positive Euro 30 million
from an EBIT loss of Euro 118 million in the previous
quarter and positive Euro 17 million in the same quarter
last year. The sequential EBIT turn around resulted from a
strong reduction in cost-per-bit as a result of significantly
higher bit-shipments and slightly higher average selling prices.
2
Other Operating Segments second quarter EBIT
results remained relatively unchanged when compared to the first
quarter. EBIT results decreased to a loss of Euro 2 million
in the second quarter from a break-even level in the prior
quarter and positive Euro 11 million in the same quarter
last year.
In Corporate and Reconciliation, EBIT loss in the second
quarter of the 2006 financial year increased to Euro 45
million from Euro 34 million in the prior quarter and
Euro 39 million in the same quarter last year. The
sequential EBIT loss increase was primarily due to costs
incurred in connection with the carve-out of the companys
Memory Products segment and the move to Infineons new
headquarters, Campeon.
Expenses
Expenditures for Research and Development in the second
quarter totaled Euro 306 million, slightly decreasing from
Euro 311 million in the prior quarter. As a percentage of
revenues, research and development expenses decreased
sequentially to 15 percent of revenues from 19 percent
of revenues.
Expenses for SG&A (Selling, General &
Administrative) in the second quarter slightly increased to
Euro 179 million from Euro 173 million in the prior
quarter. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A decreased to
9 percent of revenues from 10 percent of revenues in
the prior quarter.
Liquidity
Free cash flow, representing cash flows from operating
and investing activities excluding purchases or sales of
marketable securities, improved in the second quarter of the
2006 financial year to a net outflow of Euro 113 million
from a net outflow of Euro 175 million in the previous
quarter. The primary reason for the increase was higher cash
flows provided by operating activities, which increased from
Euro 102 million in the previous quarter to Euro 194
million in the second quarter of the 2006 financial year. Gross
cash position as of March 31, 2006, representing cash and
cash equivalents and marketable securities, increased
sequentially from Euro 1.9 billion to Euro 2.1
billion. Net cash position, defined as gross cash position less
short and long-term debt, decreased sequentially from
Euro 161 million to Euro 40 million as of the end
of the second quarter of the 2006 financial year.
Outlook for the Third Quarter of the 2006 Financial Year
With the last quarter being ahead of expectations and normal
seasonality, Infineon anticipates revenues in the Automotive,
Industrial and Multimarket segment to normalize in the third
quarter of the 2006 financial year and stay within the range of
the second quarter. The company expects revenues in its
automotive and industrial businesses to reach the second
quarters high levels. Sales in the security and chip-card
business are anticipated to decline slightly to more normal
levels compared to the second quarter. In line with more or less
flat revenues, the company anticipates the segments EBIT
to stay within the range of the prior quarter. The EBIT guidance
is before taking into account the effect from corporate overhead
expenses that will remain with the companys two logic
segments following the legal separation of its Memory Products
segment. The exact amounts cannot be quantified at this stage.
In the third quarter of the 2006 financial year, Infineon
expects revenues of its Communication Solutions segment
to decline compared to the second quarter. The company will no
longer benefit from revenues of Fiber Optics products after the
Fiber Optics divestiture. On the other hand, the company also
expects a return to more normalized revenue levels in broadband
access. With operating results driven predominantly by revenue
development, the company anticipates the segments EBIT
loss to increase in the third quarter. The EBIT guidance is
before taking into account the effect from corporate overhead
expenses that will remain with the companys two logic
segments following the legal separation of its Memory Products
segment. The exact amounts cannot be quantified at this stage.
In the third quarter of the 2006 financial year, compared to the
very high second quarter level especially in the Automotive,
Industrial and Multimarket segment, Infineon expects revenues
and EBIT in the two logic segments combined to decline.
Effective May 1, 2006, the company separated its Memory
Products segment into a stand-alone legal company called
Qimonda AG. In this segment, Infineon expects to grow its
bit production by approximately 10 percent in the third
quarter of the 2006 financial year. The third quarter EBIT will
be influenced by benefits from corporate overhead expenses that
will remain with the companys two logic segments following
the legal separation of its Memory Products segment, offset in
part by the establish-
3
ment of the Qimonda proprietary corporate infrastructure. The
exact amounts cannot be quantified at this stage.
On March 17, 2006 Inotera Memories, Inc., the
companys joint venture with Nanya Technology Corporation,
successfully completed an Initial Public Offering on the
Taiwanese stock exchange for an issuance price of NT dollar 33
per share. In conjunction with this Initial Public Offering, the
company realized a dilution gain of approximately Euro 30
million, which will be reflected in non operating income within
the Memory Products segments EBIT in the third quarter of
the 2006 financial year. Infineons ownership interest
after the Initial Public Offering stands at 41.4 percent.
In the third quarter of the 2006 financial year, the company
expects the EBIT loss of the Corporate and Reconciliation
segment to increase compared to the second quarter, due to costs
expected to be incurred in connection with the carve-out of the
companys Memory Products segment.
In addition to the dilution gain referred to above, the company
expects charges in the third quarter, mainly reflecting
restructuring of the joint venture ALTIS as already announced by
them, as well as other items. Overall, the company does not
expect a major impact on group results out of the above
mentioned events.

Infineon Technologies AG and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements
(euro in millions, except where otherwise stated)
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of
Infineon Technologies AG and its subsidiaries
(Infineon or the Company) as of and for
the three and six months ended March 31, 2005 and 2006,
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America
(U.S. GAAP). Accordingly, certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in annual financial statements
have been condensed or omitted. In addition, although the
condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30,
2005 was derived from audited financial statements, it does not
include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. In the
opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to
present fairly the financial position, results of operations and
cash flows of the interim periods presented. All such
adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of
operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative
of results for the full financial year. The accompanying
condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements
for the year ended September 30, 2005. The accounting
policies applied in preparing the accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements are consistent with those for
the year ended September 30, 2005 (see note 2).
The preparation of the accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent amounts and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual
results could differ materially from those estimates.
All amounts herein are shown in millions of euro
(
) other than percentages, shares, per share amounts
or where otherwise stated. The accompanying condensed
consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2006, the
condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three
and six months then ended, and the condensed consolidated
statements of cash flows for the six months then ended are also
presented in U.S. dollars ($), solely for the
convenience of the reader, at the rate of one
euro = $1.2139, the U.S. Federal Reserve noon
buying rate on March 31, 2006.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 151, Inventory
Costs an amendment of ARB No. 43,
Chapter 4, which clarifies the accounting for
abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling
costs, and wasted material (spoilage), requiring that such costs
be recognized as current period charges and requiring the
allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory based on
the normal capacity of the production facilities. The Company
adopted SFAS No. 151 with effect from October 1,
2005, which did not have a significant impact on its
consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123
(revised 2004) Share-Based Payments.
SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) requires public entities
to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange
for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair
value of the award and recognize the cost over the period during
which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for
the award. SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) eliminates the
alternative method of accounting for employee share-based
payments previously available under Accounting Principles Board
(APB) No. 25 Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees. The Securities and Exchange
Commission issued guidance on April 14, 2005 announcing
that public companies are required to adopt
SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) by their first financial
year beginning after June 15, 2005.
Effective October 1, 2005, the Company adopted
SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) under the modified
prospective application method. Under this application, the
Company records stock-based compensation expense for all awards
granted on or after the date of adoption and for the portion of
previously granted awards that remained unvested at the date of
adoption. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant
date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as
expense over the period during which the employee is required to
provide service in exchange for the award. Prior period

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154,
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.
SFAS No. 154 replaces APB Opinion No. 20,
Accounting Changes, and SFAS No. 3,
Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial
Statements, and changes the requirements for the
accounting and reporting of a change in accounting principle.
The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 154 for
accounting changes and error corrections that occur after
September 30, 2006. The Companys results of
operations and financial condition will only be impacted
following the adoption of SFAS No. 154 if it
implements changes in accounting principle that are addressed by
the standard or corrects accounting errors in future periods.
In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47,
Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement
Obligations, which clarifies that an entity is
required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a
conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value can be
reasonably estimated even though uncertainty exists about the
timing and (or) method of settlement. The Company is required to
adopt Interpretation No. 47 prior to the end of its 2006
financial year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact
that the adoption of Interpretation No. 47 will have on its
consolidated financial position and results of operations.
3. Acquisitions
In April 2001, the Company established the Infineon Technologies
Flash joint venture (then called Ingentix) in which
the Company held a 51 percent ownership interest with
Saifun Semiconductors Ltd. (Saifun). In the 2003
financial year, the Company increased its ownership interest to
70 percent by contributing additional capital and
converting existing shareholder loans to equity. The joint
venture operated through two companies, Infineon Technologies
Flash GmbH & Co. KG, located in Dresden, Germany, and
Infineon Technologies Flash Ltd., located in Netanya, Israel.
During December 2004, Saifun and Infineon modified their
cooperation agreement. As a consequence, the Company consummated
the acquisition of Saifuns remaining 30 percent share
in the Infineon Technologies Flash joint venture in January 2005
and was granted a license for the use of Saifun
NROM®
technologies, in exchange for $95 million to be paid in
quarterly instalments over 10 years and additional purchase
consideration primarily in the form of net liabilities assumed
aggregating to 7. The
assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded based upon
their estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition.
The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values
of the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed
amounted to
7 and was allocated to goodwill. The Company has
sole ownership and responsibility for the business and started
to account for its entire financial results in the second
quarter of the 2005 financial year.

4. Divestitures
On December 23, 2004 the Company agreed to sell its venture
capital activities, reflected in the Other Operating Segment, to
Cipio Partners, a venture capital company. Under the terms of
the agreement, the Company sold its interest in Infineon
Ventures GmbH including the majority of the venture investments
held within. The transaction closed on February 23, 2005.
As a result of the sale, the Company realized a gain before tax
of 13 during the quarter ended March 31, 2005, which
was recorded in other non-operating income.
On April 29, 2004, the Company entered into an agreement
with Finisar Corporation (Finisar) to sell the fiber
optics business, reflected in the Communication Solutions
segment. The agreement was amended on October 11, 2004,
pursuant to which the Company would receive 110 million
shares in Finisar in exchange for its fiber optics business and
financial assistance with restructuring measures to be taken in
future periods. The final number of Finisar shares that the
Company would receive would have been subject to adjustment for
changes in working capital of the fiber optics business.
Additionally, the agreement contained a three-year non-compete
clause and limited the aggregate indemnification liability to
20% of the consideration paid by Finisar. The purchase agreement
would be terminated by mutual consent if the transaction were
not to be consummated by March 31, 2005.
On January 11, 2005, the Company decided to terminate the
agreement with Finisar dated October 11, 2004. On
January 25, 2005, Finisar and the Company entered into a
new agreement under which Finisar acquired certain assets of the
Companys fiber optics business. Under the terms of the new
agreement, the Company received 34 million shares of
Finisars common stock valued at
40 as consideration
for the sale of inventory, fixed assets and intellectual
property associated with the design and manufacture of fiber
optic transceivers. The Company also agreed to provide Finisar
with contract manufacturing services under a separate supply
agreements for up to one year following the close. The
transaction did not require shareholder or regulatory approval
and closed on January 31, 2005. As a result of the
transaction, the Company realized a gain before tax of
21 during the quarter ended March 31, 2005, which
was recorded in other operating income. Following the
transaction, the Companys equity interest in Finisar was
approximately 13%.
On April 8, 2005, the Company sold to VantagePoint Venture
Partners its entire share interest in Finisars common
stock. As a result of the sale, the Company recorded an
other-than-temporary impairment of
8 in other non-operating expense during the second
quarter of the 2005 financial year, to reduce the
investments carrying value to the net sale proceeds.
The Company retained ownership of its remaining fiber optics
businesses consisting of
bi-directional fiber
transmission (BIDI) components for Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH)
applications, parallel optical components (PAROLI) and plastic
optical fiber (POF) components that are used in automotive
applications which were reclassified from held for sale to held
and used during the second quarter of financial year 2005, and
were restructured. The reclassification of the retained fiber
optic businesses into the held and used category was measured at
the lower of their carrying amount before they were classified
as held for sale, adjusted for depreciation expense that would
have been recognized had the retained fiber optic businesses
been continuously classified as held and used, or the fair value
of the assets at January 25, 2005. Accordingly, the Company
recognized an impairment charge of
34 in other operating expenses during the three months
ended March 31, 2005.
5. Licenses
On November 10, 2004, the Company and ProMOS Technologies
inc. (ProMOS) reached an agreement regarding
ProMOS license of the Companys previously
transferred technologies, pursuant to which ProMOS may continue
to produce and sell products using those technologies and to
develop its own processes and products. The Company has no
continuing future involvement with the licensing of these
products to ProMOS. As full consideration, ProMOS agreed to pay
the Company $156 million in four instalments through
April 30, 2006, against which the Companys accrued
payable for DRAM products from ProMOS of $36 million was
offset. The parties agreed to withdraw their respective claims,
including arbitration. The present value of the settlement
amounted to 118 and was recognized as license income during the first
quarter of the 2005 financial year.

Infineon Technologies AG and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements
(euro in millions, except where otherwise stated)
On March 18, 2005 the Company and Rambus Inc.
(Rambus) reached an agreement settling all claims
between them and licensing the Rambus patent portfolio for use
in current and future Company products. Rambus granted to the
Company a worldwide license to existing and future Rambus
patents and patent applications for use in the Companys
memory products. In exchange for this worldwide license, the
Company agreed to pay $50 million in quarterly instalments
of $6 million between November 15, 2005 and
November 15, 2007. As of March 31, 2005, the Company
recorded a license and corresponding liability in the amount of
37, representing the estimated present value of the
minimum future license payments. After November 15, 2007,
and only if Rambus enters into additional specified licensing
agreements with certain other DRAM manufacturers, the Company
would make additional quarterly payments which may accumulate up
to a maximum of an additional $100 million. The agreement
also provides the Company an option for acquiring certain other
licenses. All licenses provide for the Company to be treated as
a most-favored customer of Rambus. The Company
simultaneously granted to Rambus a fully-paid perpetual license
for memory interfaces. In addition to the licenses, the two
companies agreed to the immediate dismissal of all pending
litigation and released each other from all existing legal
claims.

At March 31, 2006, the Company had in Germany tax loss
carry-forwards of
2,471 (relating to
both trade and corporate tax, plus an additional loss
carry-forward applicable only to trade tax of
1,159); in other
jurisdictions the Company had tax loss carry-forwards of
270 and tax effected
credit carry-forwards of 108. Such tax loss carry-forwards and tax effected
credit carry-forwards are generally limited to use by the
particular entity that generated the loss or credit and do not
expire under current law. The benefit for tax credits is
accounted for on the flow-through method when the individual
legal entity is entitled to the claim.
Pursuant to SFAS No. 109, the Company has assessed its
deferred tax asset and the need for a valuation allowance. Such
an assessment considers whether it is more likely than not that
some portion or all of the deferred tax assets may not be
realized. The assessment requires considerable judgment on the
part of management, with respect to, among other factors,
benefits that could be realized from available tax strategies
and future taxable income, as well as other positive and
negative factors. The ultimate realization of deferred tax
assets is dependent upon the Companys ability to generate
the appropriate character of future taxable income sufficient to
utilize loss carry-forwards or tax credits before their
expiration. Since the Company had incurred a cumulative loss in
certain tax jurisdictions over a three-year period as of
March 31, 2006, the impact of forecasted future taxable
income is excluded from such an assessment, pursuant to the
provisions of SFAS No. 109. For these tax
jurisdictions, the assessment was therefore only based on the
benefits that could be realized from available tax strategies
and the reversal of temporary differences in future periods.
8. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share (EPS) is calculated
by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of
ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is
calculated by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted
average number of ordinary shares outstanding plus all
additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding if
potentially dilutive instruments or ordinary share equivalents
had been issued.

The computation of basic and diluted EPS for the three and six
months ended March 31, 2005 and 2006, is as follows (shares

The weighted average of potentially dilutive instruments that

computations, because the exercise price was greater than the
average market price of the ordinary shares during the period or
were otherwise not dilutive, include 41.2 million and
54.3 million shares underlying employee stock options for
the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2006,
respectively, and include 39.2 million and
51.4 million shares underlying employee stock options for
the six months ended March 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively.
Additionally, 86.5 million ordinary shares issuable upon
the conversion of the subordinated convertible notes at
March 31, 2005 and 2006, were not included in the
computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share as their impact
would have been antidilutive.

11. Long-term Investments,
net
On November 13, 2002, the Company entered into agreements
with Nanya relating to a strategic cooperation in the
development of DRAM products and the foundation of a joint
venture (Inotera, held directly and indirectly through the
Companys investment in Hwa-Keng Investment Corp.) to
construct and operate a 300-millimeter manufacturing facility in
Taiwan. Pursuant to several agreements, the Company and Nanya
had developed advanced 90-nanometer and have been developing 75-
and 58-nanometer technology. The new 300-millimeter
manufacturing facility is funded by Inotera and employs the
technology developed under the aforementioned agreements to
manufacture DRAM products and
15
its capacity is anticipated to be completed in three phases.
During the year ended September 30, 2004 Inotera completed
the construction and started mass production. The second phase
was completed in the 2005 financial year, while the third phase
is anticipated to be completed in the 2006 financial year. The
first 300-millimeter wafer memory products using the new
58-nanometer process are expected to leave the production line
in 2008. The joint venture partners are obliged to each purchase
one-half of the facilitys production based, in part, on
market prices. At March 31, 2006, the Companys direct
and indirect ownership interest in Inotera was 41.4%.
On October 7, 2004, Inoteras application for public
company status was accepted by the Taiwanese Securities and
Futures Bureau. Since April 2005, Inotera has been listed on the
Gre-Tai market in Taiwan. On October 26, 2005, Inotera
submitted an application for an initial public offering of its
common stock to the Taiwanese stock exchange which was
subsequently approved. On January 5, 2006, Inotera received
listing approval from the Taiwanese Securities and Futures
Bureau. On March 17, 2006 Inotera successfully completed an
initial public offering (IPO) on the Taiwanese stock
exchange of 200 million ordinary shares, representing 7.97%
of its outstanding share capital before IPO, for an issuance
price of NT$33 per share. As a result, the Companys
ownership interest was diluted to 41.4% while its proportional
share of Inoteras equity increased by approximately 30, which gain the Company will reflect as part of
non-operating income during the three months ended June 30,
2006 (see note 22).
In December 2005, the Company further amended its agreements
with International Business Machines Corporation
(IBM) in respect of its joint venture ALTIS
Semiconductor S.N.C. (ALTIS) in Essonnes, France,
and extended its product purchase agreement with ALTIS through
2009. Pursuant to the December 2005 amendment, the Company
granted to IBM an option to require the Company to acquire
four-fifths of IBMs 50% interest in the joint venture (or
a total of 40% of the outstanding shares of ALTIS) at any time
after April 1, 2006 and prior to January 1, 2009. In
connection with the exercise of such option, IBM would be
required to make a payment to the Company to settle the
respective interests of the parties. In addition, the Company
granted to IBM a second option to require the Company to acquire
up to four-fifths of IBMs 50% interest in the joint
venture (or a total of 40% of the outstanding shares of ALTIS)
in increments of 10% after April 1, 2006 and prior to
January 1, 2009. The amendment also permits IBM to sell its
interest in ALTIS to a third party meeting certain specified
criteria.
Under the December 2005 amendment, the Company and IBM also
agreed a number of administrative matters regarding the
governance and management of ALTIS, as well as related
cost-allocation and accounting matters. The Company and IBM
continue to evaluate the future business model of ALTIS, and
have agreed that they will reach a decision on this matter no
later than January 1, 2009. As previously agreed, the
Company will increase the percentage of the output of ALTIS that
it purchases to 87.5% in 2006 and 100% in 2007 and beyond.
The Company evaluated the amendment in accordance with FASB
Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003),
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities
an interpretation of ARB No. 51 and concluded
that it held an interest in a variable interest entity in which
the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary.
Accordingly, the Company began to fully consolidate ALTIS
following the December 19, 2005 amendment whereby
IBMs 50% ownership interest has been reflected as a
minority interest.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the Company
engaged an independent third party to assist in the valuation of
net assets consolidated of ALTIS. As a result of the valuation,
assets and liabilities consolidated were adjusted to the amounts
presented in the table above.
Pro forma financial information relating to the consolidation of
ALTIS is not material to the results of operations and financial
position of the Company and has been omitted.
12. Other Assets
During the three months ended March 31, 2005, as a result
of the combination of sustained negative cash flows and updated
market expectations, the Company revised the forecasted returns
for the Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) reporting
unit within the Communication Solutions segment.
Accordingly, the Company tested the reporting units
goodwill for impairment using a present value technique based on
discounted estimated future cash flows pursuant to
SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets, and recognized an impairment
charge of 12 in other operating expenses during the second quarter
of the 2005 financial year to reduce the reporting units
goodwill to its estimated fair value.

On January 24, 2006, the Company drew down
$345 million from one of its existing long-term credit
facilities. The proceeds were primarily intended to refinance
the ramp-up of the Companys
300-millimeter
production facility in Richmond.
The Company has established independent financing arrangements
with several financial institutions, in the form of both short
and long-term credit facilities, which are available for
anticipated funding purposes.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the grant
date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Prior to the
adoption of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), the Company
relied on historical volatility measures when estimating the
fair value of stock options granted to employees. Following the
implementation of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), the
Company uses a combination of implied volatilities from traded
options on the Companys stock and historical volatility
when estimating the fair value of stock options granted to
employees, as it believes that this methodology better reflects
the expected future volatility of its stock. The expected life
of options granted is estimated based on historical experience.
Beginning on the date of adoption of SFAS No. 123
(revised 2004), forfeitures are estimated based on historical
experience; prior to the date of adoption, forfeitures were
recorded as they
19
occurred. The risk-free rate is based on treasury note yields at
the time of grant for the estimated life of the option. The
Company has not made any dividend payments in the six months
ended March 31, 2006 nor does it have plans to pay
dividends in the foreseeable future.
The following weighted-average assumptions were used in the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model:

Stock-Based Compensation Expense |
Total compensation cost for the Companys stock option
plans in the three and six months ended March 31, 2006 was 7 and 14, respectively. Cost
of goods sold, SG&A (selling, general and administrative
expenses), and research and development expenses included
stock-based compensation of 2, 3 and 2 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 4, 6 and 4 for the six months ended March 31, 2006, respectively. The amount of
stock-based compensation cost which was capitalized and remained
in inventory for the three and six months ended March 31,
2006 was immaterial. Stock-based compensation expense does not
reflect any income tax benefits, since stock options are granted
in tax jurisdictions where the expense is not deductible for tax
purposes. In addition, stock-based compensation expense did not
have a significant cash flow effect during the three and six
months ended March 31, 2006, since no material exercises of
stock options occurred during the period. As of March 31,
2006, there was a total of 26 in unrecognized compensation cost related to
unvested stock options which is expected to be recognized over a
weighted-average period of 1.72 years.
Prior to the 2006 financial year, the Company applied the
provisions of APB No. 25, as permitted under
SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation Transition and Disclosure an amendment
of SFAS No. 123.
If the Company had accounted for stock option grants and
employee stock purchases under its plans according to the fair
value method of SFAS No. 123, and thereby recognized
compensation expense based on the above fair values over the
respective option vesting periods, net income (loss) and
earnings (loss) per share would have been reduced to the pro
forma amounts indicated below, pursuant to the provision of
SFAS No. 148:

transactions is to reduce the Companys market risk of
interest rate and exchange rate fluctuations to its foreign
currency denominated net future cash flows. The Company does not
enter into derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

Commitments and Contingencies |
In September 2004, the Company entered into a plea agreement
with the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of
Justice (DOJ) in connection with its ongoing
investigation of alleged antitrust violations in the DRAM
industry. Pursuant to this plea agreement, the Company agreed to
plead guilty to a single count related to the pricing of DRAM
between July 1, 1999 and June 15, 2002, and to pay a
fine of $160 million. The fine plus accrued interest is to
be paid in equal annual installments through 2009. On
October 25, 2004, the plea agreement was accepted by the
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of
California. Therefore, the matter has been fully resolved as
between the Company and the DOJ, subject to the Companys
obligation to cooperate with the DOJ in its ongoing
investigation of other participants in the DRAM industry. The
charges by the DOJ related to DRAM-product sales to six Original
Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) customers that
manufacture computers and servers. The Company has entered into
settlement agreements with five of these OEM customers and is
considering the possibility of a settlement with the remaining
OEM customer, which purchased only a very small volume of DRAM
from the Company.
Subsequent to the commencement of the DOJ investigation, a
number of purported class action lawsuits were filed against the
Company, its principal U.S. subsidiary and other DRAM
suppliers.
Sixteen cases were filed between June 2002 and September 2002 in
the following U.S. federal district courts: one in the
Southern District of New York, five in the District of Idaho,
and ten in the
23
Northern District of California. Each of the federal district
court cases purports to be on behalf of a class of individuals
and entities who purchased DRAM directly from various DRAM
suppliers in the United States of America during a specified
time period, which was originally alleged to have commenced on
or after October 1, 2001 (Direct U.S. Purchaser
Putative Class). The complaints allege price-fixing in
violation of the Sherman Act and seek treble damages in
unspecified amounts, costs, attorneys fees, and an
injunction against the allegedly unlawful conduct. In September
2002, the Judicial Panel on Multi-District Litigation ordered
that the foregoing federal cases be transferred to the
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California
for coordinated or consolidated pre-trial proceedings as part of
a Multi-District Litigation (MDL). In October 2003
and June 2005, the plaintiffs filed amended complaints, which
together allege that the unlawful conduct commenced on
approximately April 1, 1999 and continued through at least
June 30, 2002. In September 2005, Infineon and its
affiliate entered into a definitive agreement with counsel to
the Direct Putative U.S. Purchaser Class (subject to
approval by the U.S. District Court for the Northern
District of California and to an opportunity for individual
class members to opt out of the settlement) and has secured
individual settlements with eight direct customers in addition
to those OEMs identified by the DOJ. The court has scheduled the
trial to begin on February 26, 2007. The hearing on the
motion for preliminary court approval of the settlement
agreement is scheduled for May 10, 2006. The hearing on
plaintiffs motion for class certification is scheduled for
May 17, 2006.
Sixty-four additional cases were filed between August 2,
2002 and October 12, 2005 in numerous federal and state
courts throughout the United States of America. Each of these
state and federal cases (except a case filed in the
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of
Pennsylvania in May 2005) purports to be on behalf of a class of
individuals and entities who indirectly purchased DRAM in the
United States of America during specified time periods
commencing in or after 1999. The Eastern District of
Pennsylvania case purporting to be on behalf of a class of
foreign individuals and entities who directly purchased DRAM
outside of the United States of America from July 1999 through
at least June 2002, was dismissed with prejudice and without
leave to amend on March 1, 2006. Plaintiffs in that case
have filed a notice of appeal, but no schedule has yet been set
for the appeal. The 64 complaints variously allege violations of
the Sherman Act, Californias Cartwright Act, various other
state laws, unfair competition law and unjust enrichment and
seek treble damages in generally unspecified amounts,
restitution, costs, attorneys fees and an injunction
against the allegedly unlawful conduct. In response to a
petition filed by one of the plaintiffs, a judge appointed by
the Judicial Council of California subsequently ordered that the
then-pending California state cases be coordinated for pre-trial
purposes and recommended that they be transferred to San
Francisco County Superior Court for coordinated or consolidated
pre-trial proceedings. Subsequently, 23 of the state and federal
court cases and the U.S. District Court for the Eastern
District of Pennsylvania case were ordered transferred to the
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California
for coordinated and consolidated pre-trial proceedings as part
of the MDL described above. After this transfer, the plaintiffs
dismissed two of the transferred state court cases. Two
additional transferred state court cases were subsequently
remanded back to their relevant state courts. 19 of the 23
transferred cases are currently pending in the MDL. The
plaintiffs in the indirect purchaser cases outside California
have agreed to stay proceedings in those cases pending
resolution of the MDL-proceedings. The Company is defending
against these actions vigorously.
In November 2005, the Company and its principal
U.S. subsidiary entered into an agreement with the attorney
general of the State of California tolling until June 15,
2006 any applicable time periods within which California and
numerous other state attorneys general must file claims arising
from their investigation of alleged antitrust violations in the
DRAM industry. The Companys principal U.S. subsidiary
has also received Civil Investigative Demands and Subpoenas from
the attorneys general of the States of Washington, New York, New
Jersey, Minnesota and Florida requesting documents and other
information relating to their investigations, and the
Companys principal U.S. subsidiary has provided
documents and information in response to those requests.
In April 2003, the Company received a request for information
from the European Commission (the Commission) to
enable the Commission to assess the compatibility with the
Commissions rules on competition of certain practices of
which the Commission has become aware in the European market for
DRAM products. The Company has reassessed the matter after its
plea agreement with the DOJ and made an accrual during the 2004
financial year for a probable minimum fine that may be imposed
as a result of the Commissions investigation. Any fine
actually imposed by the Commission may be significantly higher
than the reserve established, although the Company cannot more
accurately esti-
24
mate the amount of such actual fine. The Company is fully
cooperating with the Commission in its investigation.
In May 2004, the Canadian Competition Bureau advised the
Companys U.S. subsidiary that it and its affiliated
companies are among the targets of a formal inquiry into alleged
violations of the Canadian Competition Act. No compulsory
process (such as subpoenas) has been commenced. The Company is
cooperating with the Competition Bureau in its inquiry.
Between October 2004 and February 2005, four putative class
proceedings were filed in the Canadian provinces of Ontario,
Quebec and British Columbia against the Company, its principal
U.S. subsidiary and other DRAM manufacturers on behalf of
all direct and indirect purchasers resident, respectively, in
Canada (in the case commenced in the province Ontario), the
province of Quebec and British Columbia who purchased DRAM or
products containing DRAM between July 1999 and June 2002,
seeking damages, punitive damages, investigation costs, interest
and legal costs. Plaintiffs primarily allege conspiracy to
unduly restrain competition and to illegally fix the price of
DRAM. Infineon intends to defend itself vigorously against these
proceedings.
Between September 30, 2004 and November 4, 2004, seven
securities class action complaints were filed against Infineon
and three of its current or former officers (of which one
officer was subsequently dropped) in the U.S. District
Courts for the Northern District of California and the Southern
District of New York. The plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed the
New York cases, and on June 30, 2005 filed a consolidated
amended complaint in California on behalf of a putative class of
purchasers of Infineons publicly-traded securities, who
purchased them during the period from March 13, 2000 to
July 19, 2004, effectively combining all lawsuits. The
consolidated amended complaint added Infineons
U.S. affiliate and four then-current or former employees of
Infineon and its affiliate as defendants. It alleges violations
of the U.S. securities laws and asserts that the defendants
made materially false and misleading public statements about
Infineons historical and projected financial results and
competitive position because they did not disclose
Infineons alleged participation in DRAM price-fixing
activities and that, by fixing the price of DRAM, defendants
manipulated the price of Infineons securities, thereby
injuring its shareholders. The plaintiffs seek unspecified
compensatory damages, interest, costs and attorneys fees.
Infineon, its affiliate and the two Infineon officers filed
motions to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint. A
decision on the motions to dismiss is currently pending.
Infineon believes these claims are without merit and is
vigorously defending itself in this action. Because this action
is in its initial stages, the Company is unable to provide an
estimate of the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome to Infineon
or of the amount or range of potential loss arising from the
action. If the outcome of this action is unfavorable or if the
Company incurs substantial legal fees in defending this action,
it may have a material adverse effect on the Companys
financial condition and results of operations. Infineons
directors and officers insurance carrier has denied
coverage in the class action and Infineon filed suit against the
carrier in December 2005.
In late 2002, MOSAID Technologies Inc. (MOSAID)
alleged that the Company was violating 11 DRAM-related
U.S. patents of MOSAID. In December 2002, the Company filed
an action in the U.S. District Court for the Northern
District of California seeking a declaratory judgment that the
Company was not violating such patents. On February 7,
2003, MOSAID filed a counter-suit opposing the Companys
motion for declaratory judgment and seeking damages for the
alleged patent infringement. On November 3, 2003, MOSAID
announced that it had filed an amended counterclaim to add two
new patents to its previous claims. This matter has since been
consolidated under the federal multidistrict litigation rules
with another lawsuit filed by MOSAID against Samsung Electronics
Co. Ltd. (Samsung) in the U.S. District Court
for the District of New Jersey. On April 1, 2005, the
U.S. District Court issued a summary judgment order that
the Companys products did not infringe most of
MOSAIDs asserted claims, leaving the infringement of only
two claims in one patent still to be determined. A trial date
for the claims has not yet been scheduled. On February 9,
2006, MOSAID filed a notice of appeal with respect to those
patent claims on which the court had granted summary judgement
of non-infringement. A hearing on this notice and related claim
construction issues is expected to be held in the second half of
2006. On April 6, 2005, MOSAID filed an additional lawsuit
in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of
Texas, alleging that the Companys DRAM products infringe
one or more claims of three MOSAID patents. A trial on this
issue has been scheduled for October 2006. The Company intends
to vigorously defend against MOSAIDs claims.
On March 5, 2005, Tessera Technologies, Inc.
(Tessera) filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District
Court for the Eastern District of Texas, alleging that the
Companys products containing ball grid array
25
packages infringe five Tessera patents. On April 13, 2005,
Tessera amended its complaint to allege that the Company and
Micron violated U.S. antitrust law, Texas unfair
competition law, and Texas business tort law by conspiring to
harm the market for Rambus DRAM (RDRAM) chips,
thereby injuring Tesseras ability to license chip
packaging technology for RDRAM chips. A trial has been scheduled
for August 2006. The Company intends to vigorously defend
against Tesseras claims.
Liabilities related to legal proceedings are recorded when it is
probable that a liability has been incurred and the associated
amount can be reasonably estimated. Where the estimated amount
of loss is within a range of amounts and no amount within the
range is a better estimate than any other amount or the range
cannot be estimated, the minimum amount is accrued. As of
March 31, 2006, the Company had accrued liabilities in the
amount of 140 related to the antitrust investigations and related
antitrust and securities civil claims described above. As
additional information becomes available, the potential
liability related to these matters will be reassessed and the
estimates revised, if necessary. These accrued liabilities would
be subject to change in the future based on new developments in
each matter, or changes in circumstances, which could have a
material adverse effect on the Companys results of
operations, financial position and cash flows.
An adverse final resolution of the antitrust investigations or
related civil claims or the securities class action lawsuits
described above could result in substantial financial liability
to, and other adverse effects upon the Company, which would have
a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations
and financial condition. Irrespective of the validity or the
successful assertion of the above-referenced claims, the Company
could incur significant costs with respect to defending against
or settling such claims, which could have a material adverse
effect on its results of operations, financial position and cash
flows.
An adverse final resolution in the MOSAID or Tessera lawsuits
could result in significant financial liabilities to, and other
adverse effects upon the Company, which would have a material
adverse effect on the Companys results of operations,
financial position and cash flows.
The Company is subject to various other lawsuits, legal actions,
claims and proceedings related to products, patents and other
matters incidental to its businesses. The Company has accrued a
liability for the estimated costs of adjudication of various
asserted and unasserted claims existing as of the balance sheet
date. Based upon information presently known to management, the
Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of such
other pending matters will have a material adverse effect on the
Companys financial position, although the final resolution
of such matters could have a material adverse effect on the
Companys results of operations or cash flows in the year
of settlement.
In connection with the Companys formation, Siemens
retained certain facilities located in the U.S. and certain
related environmental liabilities. Businesses contributed to the
Company by Siemens historically conducted operations at certain
of these facilities and, under applicable law, could be required
to contribute to the environmental remediation of these
facilities despite their retention by Siemens. Siemens has
provided guarantees to certain third parties and governmental
agencies, and all involved parties have recognized Siemens as
the responsible party for all applicable sites. No assessments
have been made of the extent of environmental remediation, if
any, that could be required, and no claims have been made
against the Company in this regard. The Company believes its
potential exposure, if any, to liability for remediating the
U.S. facilities retained by Siemens is therefore low.
On December 23, 2003, the Company entered into a long-term
operating lease agreement with MoTo Objekt Campeon GmbH &
Co. KG (MoTo) to lease an office complex constructed
by MoTo south of Munich, Germany. The office complex, called
Campeon, enables the Company to centralize the majority of its
Munich-area employees in one central physical working
environment. MoTo was responsible for the construction, which
was completed in the second half of 2005. The Company has no
obligations with respect to financing MoTo and has provided no
guarantees related to the construction. The Company occupied
Campeon under an operating lease arrangement in October 2005 and
has moved employees to this new location. The complex was leased
for a period of 20 years. After year 15, the Company has a
non-bargain purchase option to acquire the complex or otherwise
continue the lease for the remaining period of five years.
Pursuant to the agreement, the Company placed a rental deposit
of 75 in escrow, which was included in restricted cash as
of March 31, 2006. Lease payments are subject to limited
adjustment based on specified financial ratios related to the
Company. The
26
agreement was accounted for as an operating lease, in accordance
with SFAS No. 13, with monthly lease payments expensed
on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company has received government grants and subsidies related
to the construction and financing of certain of its production
facilities. These amounts are recognized upon the attainment of
specified criteria. Certain of these grants have been received
contingent upon the Company maintaining compliance with certain
project-related requirements for a specified period after
receipt. The Company is committed to maintaining these
requirements. Nevertheless, should such requirements not be met,
as of March 31, 2006, a maximum of 546 of these subsidies could be refundable.
The Company has guarantees outstanding to external parties of
231 as of
March 31, 2006. In addition, the Company, as parent
company, has in certain customary circumstances guaranteed the
settlement of certain of its consolidated subsidiaries
obligations to third parties. Such obligations are reflected as
liabilities in the consolidated financial statements by virtue
of consolidation. As of March 31, 2006, such inter-company
guarantees, principally relating to certain consolidated
subsidiaries third-party debt, aggregated 1,634, of which
1,340 relates to convertible notes issued.

Operating Segment and Geographic Information |
The Company has reported its operating segment and geographic
information in accordance with SFAS No. 131,
Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information.
The Company operates primarily in three major operating
segments, two of which are application focused: Automotive,
Industrial and Multimarket, and Communication Solutions; and one
of which is product focused: Memory Products. Further, certain
of the Companys remaining activities for product lines
sold, for which there are no continuing contractual commitments
subsequent to the divestiture date, as well as new business
activities also meet the SFAS No. 131 definition of an
operating segment, but do not meet the requirements of a
reportable segment as specified in SFAS No. 131.
Accordingly, these segments are combined and disclosed in the
Other Operating Segments category pursuant to
SFAS No. 131.
The following table presents selected segment data for the three
and six months ended March 31, 2005 and 2006:

Certain items are included in corporate and reconciliation and
are not allocated to the segments, consistent with the
Companys internal management reporting. These include
certain corporate headquarters costs, certain incubator
and early stage technology investment costs, non-recurring gains
and specific strategic technology initiatives. Additionally,
restructuring charges and employee stock-based compensation
expense are included in corporate and reconciliation and not
allocated to the segments for internal or external reporting
purposes, since they arise from corporate directed decisions not
within
27
the direct control of segment management. Furthermore, legal
costs associated with intellectual property and product matters
are recognized by the segments when paid, which can differ from
the period originally recognized by corporate and
reconciliation. For the three months ended March 31, 2005
and 2006 corporate and reconciliation includes unallocated
excess capacity costs of 4 and
5, respectively,
restructuring charges of 23 and
3, respectively, and
stock-based compensation expense of 0 and
7, respectively. For
the six months ended March 31, 2005 and 2006 corporate and
reconciliation includes unallocated excess capacity costs of
8 and
9, respectively,
restructuring charges of
25 and
5, respectively, and
stock-based compensation expense of
0 and
14, respectively.

Revenues from external customers are based on the
customers billing location. No single customer accounted
for more than 10% of the Companys sales during the three
and six months ended March 31, 2006. Except for sales to
Siemens, which are discussed in note 17, no single customer
accounted for more than 10% of the Companys sales during
the three and six months ended March 31, 2005. Sales to
Siemens are made primarily by the non-memory product segments.
The Company defines EBIT as earnings (loss) before interest and
taxes. The Companys management uses EBIT, among other
measures, to establish budgets and operational goals, to manage
the Companys business and to evaluate its performance. The
Company reports EBIT information because it believes that it
provides investors with meaningful information about the
operating performance of the Company and especially about the
performance of its separate operating segments.
EBIT is determined as follows from the condensed consolidated
statements of operations, without adjustment to the
U.S. GAAP amounts presented:

On April 3, 2006, Siemens disposed of its remaining
shareholding in the Company. Transactions between the Company
and Siemens subsequent to this date will no longer be reflected
as Related Party transactions.
On April 4, 2006, ALTIS publicly announced a restructuring
plan aimed at maintaining competitiveness of the site by
reducing costs, downsizing its workforce, and revising work
shifts. As part of the restructuring, ALTIS expects to terminate
approximately 320 employees. The exact amount of the
restructuring charges can not be estimated at this time due to
the early stage of negotiations with the works council.

On April 25, 2006, the Company announced a restructuring
plan of its Chip Card back-end activities aimed at streamlining
the organization and product portfolio, and downsizing its
workforce. As part of the restructuring, the Company expects to
terminate approximately 170 employees. The exact amount of the
restructuring charges can not be estimated at this time since
negotiations with the works council have not yet commenced.
Effective May 1, 2006, Infineon separated its memory
products business from the remainder of its activities and
placed the memory products business in a stand-alone legal
company called Qimonda AG (Qimonda). As a result,
effective May 1, 2006, substantially all of the memory
products-related assets and liabilities, operations and
activities of Infineon were contributed to Qimonda, a wholly
owned subsidiary of Infineon, with the exception of certain
rights relating to intellectual property. In conjunction with
the separation of its memory products business, the Company
entered into a contribution agreement and various other service
agreements with Qimonda. In cases where physical contribution
(ownership transfer) of assets and liabilities are not feasible
or cost effective, the monetary value will be transferred in the
form of cash or debt.
On April 28, 2006, Inotera received approval from the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange to offer global depositary shares to
be traded on the Euro MTF market.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)
Gross and Net Cash Position
Infineon defines gross cash position as cash and cash
equivalents and marketable securities, and net cash position as
gross cash position less short and long-term debt. Since
Infineon holds a substantial portion of its available monetary
resources in the form of readily marketable securities, which
for U.S. GAAP purposes are not considered to be
cash, it reports its gross cash position to provide
investors with an understanding of the Companys overall
liquidity. The gross and net cash positions are determined as
follows from the condensed consolidated balance sheets, without
adjustment to the U.S. GAAP amounts presented:

Free Cash Flow
Infineon defines free cash flow as cash from operating and
investing activities excluding purchases or sales of marketable
securities. Since Infineon holds a substantial portion of its
available monetary resources in the form of readily available
marketable securities, and operates in a capital intensive
industry, it reports free cash flow to provide investors with a
measure that can be used to evaluate changes in liquidity after
taking capital expenditures into account. Free cash flow is not
intended to represent the residual cash flow available for
discretionary expenditures, since debt service requirements or
other non-discretionary expenditures are not deducted. Free cash
flow is determined as follows from the condensed consolidated
statements of cash flows, without adjustment to the
U.S. GAAP amounts presented:

Backlog
Most standard products, such as memory products, are not ordered
on a long-term, fixed-price contract basis due to changing
market conditions. It is common industry practice to permit
major customers to change the date on which products are
delivered or to cancel existing orders. For these reasons, the
Company believes that the backlog at any time of standard
products such as memory products is not a reliable indicator of
future sales. Orders for customized logic products vary
depending on customer needs and industry conditions, capacity
and demand, while many customers request logistics agreements
based on rolling forecasts. As a result, the Company does not
place too much reliance on backlog to manage its business and
does not use it to evaluate performance. Due to possible changes
in customer delivery schedules, cancellation of orders and
potential delays in product shipments, the Companys
backlog as of any particular date may not be indicative of
actual sales for any later period.

As a company, we face numerous risks incidental to our business.
We face risks that are inherent to companies in the
semiconductor industry, as well as operational, financial and
regulatory risks that are unique to us. Risks relating to the
semiconductor industry include the cyclical nature of the
market, which suffers from periodic downturns and industry
overcapacity. Our production related risks include the need to
match our production capacity with demand, and to avoid
interruptions in manufacturing and supplies. We may be exposed
to claims from others that we infringe their intellectual
property rights or that we are liable for damages under
warranties. We are the subject of governmental antitrust
investigations and civil claims related to those antitrust
investigations. Financial risks include our need to have access
to sufficient capital and governmental subsidies. Our regulatory
risks include potential claims for environmental remediation. We
face numerous risks due to the international nature of our
business, including volatility in foreign countries and exchange
rate fluctuations.
These and other material risks that we face are described in
detail in the Risk Factors section of our Annual
Report on
Form 20-F, which
we have filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission. A copy of our most recent
Form 20-F is
available at the Investor Relations section of our website
http://www.infineon.com/investor, as well as on the SECs
website, http://www.sec.gov.
We encourage you to read the detailed description of the risks
that we face in our
Form 20-F. The
occurrence of one or more of the events described in the Risk
Factors section of the
Form 20-F could
have a material adverse effect on our company and our results of
operations, which could result in a drop in our share price.

Forward-looking Statements |
This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements.
Statements that are not historical facts, including statements
about our beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking
statements.
These forward-looking statements include statements relating to
future developments of the world semiconductor market,
especially the market for memory products, Infineons
future growth, the benefits of research and development
alliances and activities, our planned levels of future
investment in the expansion and modernization of our production
capacity, the introduction of new technology at our facilities,
the transitioning of our production processes to smaller
structures, cost savings related to such transitioning and other
initiatives, our successful development of technology based on
industry standards, our ability to offer commercially viable
products based on our technology, our ability to achieve our
cost savings and growth targets, and the impact of our carve-out
of the Memory Products business and any further corporate
reorganization measures in that regard. These statements are
based on current plans, estimates and projections, and you
should not place too much reliance on them.
These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they
are made, and we undertake no obligation to update any of them
in light of new information or future events. These
forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and are
subject to a number of uncertainties, including trends in demand
and prices for semiconductors generally and for our products in
particular, the success of our development efforts, both alone
and with our partners, the success of our efforts to introduce
new production processes at our facilities and the actions of
our competitors, the availability of funds for planned expansion
efforts, the outcome of antitrust investigations and litigation
matters, as well as other factors. We caution you that these and
a number of other important factors could cause actual results
or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any
forward-looking statement. These factors include those
identified under the heading Risk Factors in the
Infineon Form 20-F
annual report.
