Maxtor Corporation (Maxtor or the Company) was organized in 1982 and
develops, manufactures and markets mass-storage products for desktop and
mobile computer systems. Products range from 2.5-inch mobile storage
products to 3.5-inch ATA drives for the desktop in capacities up to 2.0
gigabytes.
In November 1994, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary,
IMS International Manufacturing Services, Ltd., whose primary business
was contract manufacturing for electronic original equipment manufacturers
(OEMs). The Company's printed circuit board (PCB) assembly plant in Hong
Kong formed the foundation of the business, and a second plant was added
in Thailand in May 1995. In early June 1996, the Company reorganized
all of the operations under a wholly-owed Delaware subsidiary, International
Manufacturing Services, Inc. (IMS). IMS not only supplies the Company,
but a variety of external customers, with PCB assemblies, sub-assemblies
and fully integrated box-build products. In May 1996, the Company
entered into an agreement to sell a majority interest in IMS to
certain IMS management and other investors (collectively, "Buyer"). At
completion of the transaction in June 1996, the Company received $25
million in cash and $20 million in notes from IMS, and retained a 23.5%
ownership interest in IMS. Pursuant to the Agreements, the Company made
various representations and warranties as to itself and IMS and has agreed
to indemnify Buyer for any breaches thereof. Generally, in the event
that losses from such breaches when aggregated exceed $500,000, Buyer
shall be entitled to indemnification for all losses, including the
first $500,000 up to a maximum total of $17,500,000, provided that
tax and environmental representations are not subject to the liability
limit.
In January 1996, Hyundai Acquisition, Inc. (HAI) acquired by a cash
tender offer for $6.70 per share 32,044,065 shares of the Company's common
stock (the Acquisition). With the 19,480,000 Class A shares already
owned, HAI owned over 90% of the Company's outstanding voting capital. On
January 11,1996, HAI was merged into the Company in a short form merger
(the Merger), and the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Hyundai
Electronics America (HEA). Shares of common stock outstanding immediately
prior to the Acquisition and Merger which were not owned by HEA or its
affiliates were converted into the right to receive $6.70 in cash per
share pursuant to the Merger. As the Merger, trading of Maxtor common
stock on the NASDAQ National Market was suspended. Currently, there is
no public market for the Company's equity securities. The Company's
5.75% convertible subordinated Debentures, due 2012, remain publicly
traded.
The Agreement and Plan of Merger was filed as an exhibit to the
Company's Schedule 14D-9, as amended. See the Company's Schedule 14D-9
for further information concerning the tender offer and merger.
In May 1995, the Company entered into a definitive manufacturing
agreement with Hyundai Electronics Industries Company, Limited (HEI).
Under the terms of the agreement, HEI manufactures Maxtor-designed hard
disk drives for the Company at a site in Korea. Production at the Korean
manufacturing site has commenced during the first fiscal quarter of 1997.
PRODUCTS
The Company's financial results continue to be heavily dependent on
the success of certain products. The Company's strategy in part is
focused on accelerating the end-of-life of certain older 3.5-inch desktop
products and replacing them with new 3.5-inch products developed on lower-
cost platforms, and introducing its family of 2.5-inch disk drives
for OEM notebook manufacturers.
Industry Characteristics
Data storage manufacturers continually strive for larger storage
capacities, higher performance and lower cost. Short product life cycles
also increase the importance of the Company's ability to successfully
manage product transitions. During fiscal year 1996, the Company has
successfully managed certain product transitions. However, certain new
products introduced by competitors, as well as those introduced by the
Company, tend to displace older products. The failure to adequately
manage product transitions could result in the loss of market
opportunities, decreased sales of existing products, cancellation of
products or product lines, the accumulation of obsolete and excess
inventory, and unanticipated charges related to obsolete capital equipment.
The Company's ability to anticipate market trends and to successfully
develop, manufacture in volume and sell new products in a timely manner and
at favorable gross margins will be important factors affecting the
Company's future results. There can be no assurance that the Company will
be successful in such efforts.
Desktop Personal Computer Products
The 7000 SeriesTM of 3.5-inch disk drives addresses the demand for
desktop personal computer (PC) disk drives and presently includes a broad
range of capacity points from 541 megabytes (MB) to 2.0 gigabytes
(GB). Current product offerings primarily consist of products which were
introduced
during fiscal year 1996.
The value line of 7000 Series 3.5-inch drives was designed to meet the
needs of the highly price-sensitive entry level to mid-range desktop PC
market. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1995, the Company added
the 850MB 7850AV and the 425MB 7425AV disk drives, while phasing out
the initial offerings of the 540MB 7540AV and the 270MB 7270AV. The
7850AV combined the low-cost electronics architecture of previously
introduced 7000 Series value line of drives with the integrated heads,
disks and channel technology developed for the high-end ExcaliburTM
71260A and 71050A products. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year
1996, the Company phased out the value line while ramping shipments of
higher capacity drives which still provide the lowcost initiatives of the
value line.
Another extension to its 7000 Series, the Excalibur Family of products,
is intended to address the high-end PC market's storage-intensive
applications, such as CAD/CAE and multimedia. The 1.2GB Excalibur
71260A and 1.0GB Excalibur 71050A disk drives feature enhanced IDE
interface, allowing the Company's 7000 Series to be used in ATA systems.
During the second quarter of fiscal year 1996, the Company decided to phase
out the Excalibur Family due to pressures from competitors with lower
manufacturing costs and better performing products.
In May 1995, the Company announced the DurangoTM Family of products, the
next extension of the 7000 Series of 3.5-inch disk drives. The Durango
Family of products is available in capacities of 541MBs, 1.0GBs and 1.6GBs.
This family of products offers ATA disk aerial density of 400 M/bits per
square
inch through a refinement of thin film head technology referred to as
proximity recording, which reduces head flying height and improves head/media
interface signal quality. The 1.6GB drive in particular is intended to
meet the increasing storage demands of power-users to fully utilize
Internet services and operate storage-intensive multimedia applications.
The Company commenced volume production of this family of products by the
end of the first quarter of fiscal year 1996.
In the third quarter of fiscal year 1996, the Company began volume
shipments of the latest extension to the 7000 Series which addresses
the growing capacity and cost effective requirements of the PC market.
Initial offerings included the 1.3GB 71336AP/A, 1.6GB 71670AP/A and the
2.0GB 72004AP/A. The drives are ATA/IDE interface compatible and use
the same technological advances developed in the Company's previous
generation of 7000 Series drives. With the 72004AP/A, the Company became
the first disk drive manufacturer to announce volume shipments of a 2.0GB,
three platter, 3.5 inch drive.
During fiscal years 1996, 1995 and 1994, the 7000 Series drives accounted
for 93%, 91% and 67% of the Company's revenue, respectively.
Notebook Computer Products
In June 1996, the Company announced its MobileMax Family of high-capacity
2.5inch disk drives for the portable computer market. Introduced with
capacities of 840MB, 1.01GB, and 1.35GB, these drives meet the
increasing storage requirements of the notebook and sub-notebook computer
market. The Company has successfully reduced the Z-height, or thickness,
of ultra-high capacity 2.5-inch drives from the industry standard 19mm to
just 12.5mm, enabling original equipment manufacturers to design the
next generation of highcapacity notebook and sub-notebook computer systems
that are slimmer, lighter and more powerful. The Company commenced
shipment of this family of products in the first fiscal quarter of 1997.
MARKETING AND CUSTOMERS
The Company markets and sells its products through a direct sales force
to OEMs, distributors and other emerging sales channels such as
computer specialty retailers and computer superstores. As the market for
Maxtor's products has become increasingly segmented, diverse sales
channels have developed for different products.
Market demand for the Company's products generally follows the demand
cycles experienced in the personal computer (PC) industry, which
typically rise during the late summer and fall months, peak during the
winter months and drop off in the spring and early summer months of the
calendar year. The Company is currently experiencing weakness in the market
similar to trends occurring in the PC industry. However, market demand is
highly volatile and there can be no assurances that the demand cycle will
follow historical trends.
As a result of volatile business conditions in the PC industry, including
the trend toward consolidation among PC manufacturers, sales to OEMs have
become increasingly important to the success of the disk drive industry
participants. Shipments to OEMs were 61% of revenues in fiscal 1996,
as compared to approximately one-half of revenues in 1995 and 1994. The
Company attributes this growth primarily to the Company's ability to be
among the first to market at the industry's most recent key capacity
points. Although the Company intends to continue in its efforts to
increase its share of the OEM market for disk drives, particularly in the
marketing of its new products, there can be no assurance that the Company
will be successful in such efforts.
Although OEM revenues have increased as a percentage of total
revenues compared to fiscal years 1995 and 1994 as mentioned above, the
Company is still heavily dependent upon the distribution channel.
Distributors generally market the Company's products to value-added
resellers, dealers and small OEMs. Additionally, the Company currently
sells its retail-packaged
products directly and through distributors to major retail computer
superstores, warehouse clubs, dealers, aggregators and catalog houses.
The Company's distributors are located worldwide, and its retailers are
generally located in the United States and Canada. The Company believes
that distributors and retailers are important in supporting a large
aftermarket, and that the market for replacement drives in particular
should result in the growth of retail sales. Sales to distributors and
retailers accounted for approximately 39% of total revenue in fiscal 1996,
and approximately one-half of total revenues in fiscal 1995 and 1994. The
Company's dependence on distributors and retailers is greater than most
other disk drive producers. This dependence subjects the Company to certain
pricing pressures and other factors unique to distribution, including
historically higher levels of product returns compared to the levels of
returns experienced with OEM customers.
During fiscal years 1996 and 1995, no customer accounted for more than 10%
of the Company's revenue. During fiscal year 1994, sales to one
customer accounted for approximately 24% of the Company's revenue.
The Company's export sales represented 41%, 48% and 43% of total revenue
in fiscal years 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Approximately 60%, 53%,
and 53% of export sales were to Europe, while 35%, 38% and 35% of export
sales were to Asia Pacific in fiscal years 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.
For financial data relating to major customers and geographic
information refer to Part II, Item 8, Footnote 4 on page 29.
MANUFACTURING AND SUPPLIERS
The Company has sought to maintain the flexibility necessary to
accommodate the continuous changes in product mix and volume requirements
that result from the short product life cycles characteristic of the disk
drive industry. The Company accomplished this by a relatively low level
of vertical integration and utilizing capital equipment for the manufacture
of multiple product lines.
The Company's disk drive manufacturing operations consist primarily of
the final assembly of high-level subassemblies and testing of completed
products. The Company manufactures disk drive products in volume
production at its manufacturing facility located in Singapore and conducts
all PCB assembly in IMS's facilities in Hong Kong and Thailand. Upon
the sale of a majority interest in IMS, the Company entered into a
manufacturing services agreement with IMS for its PCB assembly parts. In
May 1995, the Company entered into a definitive manufacturing agreement
with Hyundai Electronics Industries Company, Limited (HEI). Under the
terms of the agreement, HEI manufactures Maxtor-designed hard disk
drives for the Company at a site in Korea. Production at the Korean
manufacturing site has commenced during the first fiscal quarter of 1997.
In addition to risks typically associated with the concentration of
vital operations, foreign manufacturing is subject to additional
risks, including changes in governmental policies, transportation delays
and interruptions, and the imposition of tariffs and export controls. A
disruption of manufacturing operations at the Company's facilities could
have an adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and
customer relations.
Pilot production of the Company's products, and cost reduction, quality
and product improvement engineering on current products are conducted
in the Company's Longmont, Colorado facilities. When a new product or
a design change to a current product is ready for volume production, it is
transferred from the Longmont, Colorado facilities to the Company's
Asia Pacific manufacturing facilities.
The Company's manufacturing processes require large volumes of high-
quality components supplied by outside suppliers. The Company periodically
receives communication from vendors that they may be unable to supply
required volumes of certain key components. While the Company has
qualified and continues to qualify multiple sources for many components,
it is reliant on, and
will continue to be reliant on, single sources for many semi-custom and
custom integrated circuits and other key components. Generally, the Company
does not have long-term supply agreements with most of its single source
vendors, some of which are companies with limited financial and operational
resources. In light of current industry conditions, including consolidation of
competitors and decreased demand for hard disk storage products, the
Company is reassessing its requirements for volume components.
The Company intends to continue to pursue qualification of alternative
sources for single source components where practical. However, the Company
believes that it will have to continue to utilize leading edge components
which may only be available from a single source. The Company will
continue to aggressively work with its vendor base to minimize its
component supply exposure. There can be no assurance, however, that
the Company will be successful in such efforts or that in the future the
Company's vendors will meet the Company's needs for required volumes of
high-quality components in a timely and cost effective manner.
The quality and yield of the Company's products is highly dependent on
the Company's ability to obtain high-quality components and sub-
assemblies, and its internal manufacturing processes. In the past, the
Company's operating results have been affected by production delays and
quality problems resulting from its inability to obtain certain key
components and by the failure of certain components to meet requisite
quality standards. The Company has implemented a number of programs to
improve the quality of its key
components and subassemblies, and its internal manufacturing processes. As
a result of these efforts, the Company continues to strive to improve the
quality of its products. The Company believes that it must continue to
focus on product quality to improve its competitive position in the disk
drive industry.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
As previously mentioned, the Company participates in an industry that
is characterized by rapid technological change and short product life
cycles. The Company's ability to compete effectively will depend on,
among other things, its ability to anticipate such change. To compete
effectively, the Company has and will continue to devote substantial
resources to developing high-quality products which address the needs of
expanding segments of the disk drive market and which can be produced
in volume on a cost effective basis.
The Company has focused its efforts on developing products that
incorporate components which may be shared by a broad range of products,
thereby reducing the time to develop a product and the cost of
components. The Company believes that the integration of low-cost
manufacturing design into the development of a broad range of the
Company's products, combined with its ability to utilize common platforms
and electronics within product families, will enable the Company to compete
more effectively.
The Company believes that success in developing smaller form
factors, increasing storage capacities, increasing performance and
lowering cost depends in part on developing and incorporating new data
storage technologies into the Company's products. While the Company
believes that it needs to utilize new technologies in order to achieve
technology and product
leadership, to the extent that such development efforts result in
more advanced technology and components, it may be more difficult to
transition disk drives to volume manufacturing or to obtain acceptable
production yields.
In order to effectively implement its product strategy, the Company intends
to continue to make significant investments in R&D. In fiscal years 1996,
1995 and 1994, the Company's R&D expenses amounted to $94.7 million, $60.8
million, and $97.2 million, respectively. The Company believes that it
must continue to make substantial investments in R&D since the timely
introduction and transition to volume production of new products is
essential to its success.
COMPETITION
The Company presently competes primarily with independent manufacturers of
3.5inch disk drives, including Quantum, Seagate Technology and Western
Digital. The Company also competes directly and indirectly with disk drive
divisions of large computer manufacturers such as Fujitsu, Hewlett-Packard,
Hitachi, NEC, Toshiba and IBM. Should other major OEMs develop disk
drive manufacturing capabilities, the demand for the Company's products
could be reduced.
The disk drive industry is experiencing a number of changes that will
affect the competitive position of companies now and in the future. A
number of companies, including Maxtor, have either merged or been
acquired,
thereby reducing the number of competitors in the market. Examples include
not only the Maxtor / HEA Acquisition, but the Seagate / Conner
merger, and the Singapore Technologies acquisition of the disk drive
business of Micropolis. The surviving companies are better positioned
from a market share and financial resources availability perspective.
During 1996, the Company expects that the industry will experience a
turbulent period as the effects of this consolidation takes hold. The
merging of separate product lines and the elimination of duplication could
force a sell off of less profitable product families which could have a
significant impact on financial performance of drive companies. As a
result of the above factors and the effects of weaker seasonal demand,
discussed previously in "Marketing and Customers," the Company has
experienced lower than expected revenues during the first quarter of fiscal
1997. Any change in this trend in the second half of fiscal 1997 is
dependent on stronger OEM PC demand and successful introduction of
new products by the Company. Further, the Company expects this trend to
continue into the foreseeable future. During calendar 1997, the Company
anticipates a higher degree of stability within in the industry as product
families are merged and unprofitable products eliminated. However,
there can be no assurance that the industry will experience a higher
degree of stability and that the Company will be successful in addressing
the issues raised in the new competitive environment.
Short product life cycles also increase the importance of the
Company's ability to successfully manage product transitions. During fiscal
year 1996, the Company successfully managed certain product transitions,
however, certain new products introduced by competitors, as well as those
introduced by the Company, tend to displace older products. The failure
to adequately manage product transitions could result in the loss of
market opportunities, decreased sales of existing products, cancellation
of products or product lines, the accumulation of obsolete and excess
inventory, and unanticipated charges related to obsolete capital
equipment. The Company's ability to anticipate market trends and to
successfully develop, manufacture in volume and sell new products in a
timely manner and at favorable gross margins will be important factors
affecting the Company's future results. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be successful in such efforts.
When competitors introduce products which offer greater capacity,
better performance, lower prices or any combination of these factors, and
when the Company's new products are not brought to market on a timely
basis, the selling price of its older products generally must be reduced
in order to compete effectively with competitors' new products. Due to the
narrowness of the Company's product offerings relative to its competition,
any delay in bringing a product to market will have a more significant
adverse effect on the Company's results of operations than a similar delay
would have on its competitors' results of operations. The Company
expects to continue to experience price erosion for certain products in
fiscal year 1997. There can be no assurance that price erosion will not
increase substantially.
BACKLOG
The Company's sales are primarily made for delivery of standard
products according to standard purchase orders. Delivery dates are
specified
by purchase orders. Such orders may be subject to change or cancellation by
the customer without significant penalties. The quantity actually
purchased, as well as the shipment schedules, therefore, are frequently
revised to reflect changes in the customer's needs. At times when price
competition is intense and price moves are frequent, the Company believes
that most customers may place purchase orders below their projected
needs, or delay placing or even cancel purchase orders with the
expectation that future price reductions may occur. Conversely, at times
when industry-wide production is believed to be insufficient to meet
demand, the Company believes that certain customers may place purchase
orders beyond their projected needs in order to maintain a greater
portion of product allocation. In light of these factors, backlog as of
any particular date may not be indicative of the Company's actual revenues
for any succeeding period, and, therefore, are not material to an
evaluation of the Company's future revenue.
PATENTS AND LICENSES
The Company has been granted approximately 145 U.S. and foreign
patents related to disk drive products and technology. The Company has
additional patents pending in the United States and foreign countries. The
Company has entered into cross-license agreements with certain of its
competitors and has discussed entering into cross-licenses with others.
As in other sectors of the electronics industry, the disk drive industry
has been characterized by significant litigation relating to patent and
other intellectual property rights. Many patents have been issued in the
United States and foreign countries covering disk drive products and
their manufacture. These patents have been issued both to competitors
of
the Company and to parties who are not disk drive vendors. The
Company has received notices from competitors and other patent
holders claiming infringement by the Company and litigation has been
commenced related to one such claim, made by Rodime plc (Rodime) and
described below. There can be no assurance that other litigation will not
be commenced based upon such claims or that additional claims of patent
infringement will not be made against the Company in the future, nor can
there be any assurance that the Company would be able to obtain a
license under the patents asserted or that any such license, if
available, would be offered on terms acceptable to the Company. Adverse
resolution of litigation based upon claims of patent infringement could
subject the Company to substantial liabilities and require the Company to
refrain from manufacturing or selling certain of its products in the
country where the patents were issued.
As part of the acquisition of the MiniScribe business in June 1990,
the Company was assigned a patent license agreement between MiniScribe and
Rodime plc, a United Kingdom company, covering patents related to 3.5-
inch disk drives. The Company believes that the assignment was valid.
However, Rodime has taken the position that the assignment was invalid and
that the assignment would not in any event cover 3.5-inch drives
manufactured and sold by the Company before the acquisition of
MiniScribe's assets. See Legal Proceedings.
WARRANTY AND SERVICE
The Company currently warrants its products against defects in parts and
labor for varying periods from the date of shipment with an additional
three months allowed for distributors to account for "shelf life". All
products currently in production are warranted for a period of 36 months
after shipment.
Products are generally repaired or refurbished by the Company's
Singapore facility. The Company operates a European drive exchange center in
Ireland, a domestic drive exchange center in San Jose, California, and an
Asian drive exchange center in Singapore.
EMPLOYEES
As of June 1, 1996, the Company had approximately 8,940 employees, of
whom approximately 1,180 were located in the United States, 70 in Europe and
7,690 in Asia Pacific.
The Company believes that its future success will depend on its ability
to continue to attract and retain a team of highly motivated and
skilled individuals. None of the Company's employees are represented by
a labor organization. The Company believes that its employee relations are
positive.
INDUSTRY SEGMENTS, FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC OPERATIONS AND EXPORT SALES,
AND FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The Company operates in a single industry segment: the
development, manufacture and marketing of data storage products for desktop
and notebook computer systems. It has a worldwide sales, service and
distribution network. The Company markets and sells its products through a
direct sales force to OEMs, distributors and other emerging sales
channels. For financial information relating to foreign and domestic
operations and export sales refer to Part II, Item 8, Footnote 4, on page
29.
Item 2. PROPERTIES
During fiscal year 1996, Company's administrative offices were located in
San Jose, California, and its research and development facilities were
located in Longmont, Colorado. These facilities are leased. As of March
30, 1996, the Company's manufacturing facilities include a disk drive
manufacturing facility in Singapore and the IMS PCB assembly facilities in
Hong Kong and Thailand. The Company owns and occupies a 384,000 square-
foot building in Singapore which is situated on land leased through the
year 2016 (subject to an option to renew for an additional 30 years).
All other facilities located in Singapore, Hong Kong and Thailand, as
well as sales offices located in the United States, Europe and Asia
Pacific, are leased.
All of the Company's facilities are well maintained and are suitable for
the advanced technological products and services of the Company.
In May 1996, the Company announced that new research and
development operations have commenced at the San Jose site, requiring
additional space in San Jose. The Company is currently reviewing its
space requirements and intends to move into a larger facility near its
current location during the fiscal year 1997. Other than that previously
discussed, the Company believes that its current facilities are sufficient
to meet its expected requirements.
Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
As part of the acquisition of the MiniScribe business in June 1990,
the Company was assigned a patent license agreement between MiniScribe and
Rodime plc (Rodime) covering patents related to 3.5-inch disk drives. The
Company believes that the assignment was valid; however, Rodime has taken
the position that the assignment was invalid and would not in any event
cover 3.5-inch drives manufactured and sold by the Company before
the acquisition of MiniScribe's assets. In February 1993, Maxtor
commenced an action for declaratory relief in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
in Denver, Colorado seeking a judgment that the assignment was valid.
Rodime filed a denial and counterclaim for patent infringement. In April
1994, the relevant claims
of the Rodime patent at issue in Rodime's counterclaims were declared
invalid in litigation between Rodime and another disk drive manufacturer.
The litigation between the Company and Rodime was then stayed pending an
appeal by Rodime. In November 1995, the Federal Circuit affirmed the
earlier court decision, and in February 1996, Rodime filed a petition
with the U.S. Supreme Court requesting review of the Federal Circuit's
opinion. The litigation remains stayed pending action by the Supreme Court.
In November 1995, three separate actions (Wacholder v. Gallo, et al.,
Silver v. Maxtor, et al., and Barrington v. Gallo, et al.) were filed in the
Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, in and for New Castle County.
Each of the foregoing actions generally alleged a breach of fiduciary
duty by the Company's directors in connection with the offer to purchase
the Company by HEA and sought class certification, preliminary and
permanent injunctive relief to prevent the acquisition, and damages and
attorneys' fees. These actions were subsequently consolidated with a
similar California action (Campanella v. Maxtor, et al.). Thereafter,
following negotiations among counsel to parties to the consolidated
action, an agreement in principle for settlement was reached. A
memorandum of understanding was executed by the parties which provided
that in exchange for certain additional disclosures to the Company's
shareholders regarding the circumstances of the tender offer, the
foregoing actions would be settled, subject to completion of confirmatory
discovery, approval by the Court of Chancery, and payment by the Company
of plaintiffs' counsel fees and costs in an amount not to exceed $315,000.
The Company anticipates that settlement documents will be submitted to the
Court of Chancery by the end of June, 1996, and a date for hearing should
be set by late summer 1996.
In March 1996, a pro se complaint was filed in the Southern District of
New York by Morton Berman (Berman v. Maxtor Corporation, et al.). The
complaint alleged certain claims arising out of violation of U.S.
Securities law, Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organization Act of
1970, and common law doctrines of fraud, negligence and negligent
misrepresentation, against the Company and several former and current
executive officers of the Company. In April 1996, a motion for dismissal was
filed on behalf of the Company andthe other defendants. In June 1996, Berman
filed papers opposing the
motion and the Company replied. Also in June 1996, Berman filed a motion
to amend his complaint and the Company opposed the motion, requesting that
the court defer adjudication of Berman's motion to amend until it ruled
upon the Company's motion to dismiss.
Certain other claims, including other patent infringement claims, against
the Company have arisen in the course of its business. There is
presently no litigation involving such claims, and the Company believes
the outcome of these claims, and the claims described above, will not have
a material adverse effect, if any, on the Company's financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
Item 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
At a special meeting of the sole stockholder held May 14, 1996, an Amended
and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, Amended and Restated Bylaws, and
the Company's 1996 Stock Option Plan were approved.

Item 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED
STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
In January 1996, Hyundai Acquisition, Inc. (HAI) acquired by a cash
tender offer for $6.70 per share 32,044,065 shares of the Company's common
stock (the Acquisition). With the 19,480,000 Class A shares already
owned, HAI owned over 90% of the Company's outstanding voting capital.
On January 11, 1996, HAI was merged into the Company in a short form
merger (the Merger), and the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of
Hyundai Electronics America (HEA). Shares of common stock outstanding
immediately prior to the Acquisition and Merger which were not owned by
HEA or its affiliates were converted into the right to receive $6.70 in
cash per share pursuant to the Merger. As of the Merger, trading of
Maxtor common stock on the NASDAQ National Market
was suspended. Currently, there is no public market for the Company's
equity securities. The Company's 5.75% convertible subordinated
Debentures, due 2012, remain publicly traded.
The Agreement and Plan of Merger was filed as an exhibit to the
Company's Schedule 14D-9, as amended. See the Company's Schedule 14D-9
for
further information concerning the tender offer and merger.
In June 1996, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with HEA
whereby HEA exchanged 600 shares of Common Stock for 58,208,955 shares of
Series
A Preferred Stock, $.01 par value. As of June 28, 1996, 58,208,955 shares
of Series A Preferred Stock and no shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value,
were issued and outstanding.
The price range per common share of the Company's Common Stock through the

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.
General
Since its inception in 1982, the Company has been subject to the
highly cyclical nature of the disk drive industry. The industry is subject
to rapid technological change and short product life cycles. The industry
is intensely competitive and significant price erosion is typical during a
product life cycle. At times, the industry is subject to excess
production capacity and component cost pressures as a result of
key component shortages. Specifically, with the overall growth
experienced by the disk drive industry in fiscal 1996 and 1995, shortages
of certain key components for the industry have increased. In addition to
being impacted by these industry factors, the Company has been less
successful in the past several years than its competitors in
managing product transitions and has been unable to bring certain
products to market in a timely and cost effective manner. Further,
many of the Company's competitors have had broader product lines than
the Company with which to compete in this environment.
As a result of the factors discussed above and others, the Company
has incurred operating losses during each of the last thirteen consecutive
fiscal quarters, including the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1995 for
which the Company reported net income of approximately $1.1 million as a
result of a nonrecurring gain of approximately $10 million from the sale of
the Company's interest in Maxoptix Corporation. Primarily as a result of
continuing pricing pressures, serious shortages of certain key components,
product cost and timeto-market issues with regard to certain products,
the Company was not profitable during fiscal year 1996.
Industry Characteristics
Data storage manufacturers continually strive for larger storage
capacities, higher performance and lower cost. Short product life cycles
also increase the importance of the Company's ability to successfully
manage product transitions. During fiscal year 1996, the Company has
successfully managed certain product transitions. However, certain new
products introduced by competitors, as well as those introduced by the
Company, tend to displace older products. The failure to adequately
manage product transitions could result in the loss of market
opportunities, decreased sales of existing products, cancellation of
products or product lines, the accumulation of obsolete and excess
inventory, and unanticipated charges related to
obsolete capital equipment. The Company's ability to anticipate market
trends and to successfully develop, manufacture in volume and sell new
products in a timely manner and at favorable gross margins will be
important factors affecting the Company's future results. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be successful in such efforts.
When competitors introduce products which offer greater capacity,
better performance, lower prices or any combination of these factors, and
when the Company's new products are not brought to market on a timely
basis, the selling price of its older products generally must be reduced
in order to compete effectively with competitors' new products.
Also due to the narrowness of the Company's product offerings relative to
its competition,
any delay in bringing a product to market will have a more significant
adverse effect on the Company's results of operations than a similar delay
would have on its competitors' results of operations. The Company
continues to
experience price erosion for certain products in fiscal year 1997. There
can be no assurance that price erosion will not increase substantially.
Manufacturing Characteristics
The Company's manufacturing processes require large volumes of high-
quality components supplied by outside suppliers. The Company periodically
receives communication from vendors that they may be unable to supply
required volumes of certain key components. While the Company has
qualified and continues to qualify multiple sources for many components,
it is reliant on, and will continue to be reliant on, single sources
for many semi-custom and custom integrated circuits and other key
components. Generally, the Company does not have long-term supply
contracts with most of its single source vendors, some of which are
companies with limited financial and operational resources.
In light of current industry conditions, including consolidation of
competitors and decreased demand for hard disk storage products, the
Company is reassessing its requirements for volume components.
The Company intends to continue to pursue qualification of alternative
sources for single source components where practical. However, the Company
believes that it will have to continue to utilize leading edge components
which may only be available from a single source. The Company will
continue to aggressively work with its vendor base to minimize its
component supply exposure. There can be no assurance, however, that
the Company will be successful in such efforts or that in the future the
Company's vendors will meet the Company's needs for required volumes of
high-quality components in a timely and cost effective manner.
The quality and yield of the Company's products is highly dependent on
the Company's ability to obtain high-quality components and sub-
assemblies, and its internal manufacturing processes. In the past, the
Company's operating results have been affected by production delays and
quality problems resulting from its inability to obtain certain key
components and by the failure of certain components to meet requisite
quality standards. The Company has implemented a number of programs to
improve the quality of its key components and subassemblies, and its
internal manufacturing processes. As a result of these efforts, the
Company continues to strive to improve the quality of its products. The
Company believes that it must continue to focus on product quality to
improve its competitive position in the disk drive industry. However,
there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in
improving or maintaining its current quality standards.
FISCAL YEAR 1996 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR 1995
Revenue and Gross Margin
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
(In millions) March 30, March 25,
Fiscal year ended 1996 1995 Change
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Revenue $ 1,269.0 $ 906.8 $ 362.2
Gross margin $ 72.7 $ 56.1 $ 16.6
As a percentage of revenue 5.7% 6.2%
Net loss $ (122.8) $ (82.2) $ (40.6)
Net loss per share $ (2.97) $ (1.63) $ (1.34)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Revenue for fiscal year 1996 increased by 39.9% from the prior fiscal
year primarily due to an increase in unit shipments of approximately 30%
and a shift in product mix to higher-capacity product offerings which
had higher average unit selling prices.
During fiscal year 1996 and 1995, the Company did not have any customer
which accounted for 10% or greater of the Company's revenue.
Gross margin as a percentage of revenue decreased to 5.7% for fiscal year
1996 from 6.2% for fiscal year 1995. Although the shift of the Company's
products sold was toward the higher capacity products which generally
have higher average selling prices per unit, the increase in margins which
resulted from this shift was more than offset by intense pricing pressures
on certain lower capacity products without corresponding decreases in
manufacturing costs. In addition, the Company had lower than expected
volumes during fiscal 1996 due to shortages of certain key components,
contributing to higher than expected manufacturing costs.
The Company will continue its efforts to reduce its average unit
manufacturing costs. However, there can be no assurance that average unit
selling prices will not decline at a more rapid rate or that the Company
will be successful in its efforts to improve gross margin. In addition,
given the cyclical nature of the disk drive industry and the Company's
dependence on the success of certain products, as discussed earlier, there
can be no assurance that the Company will be able to improve or maintain its
current gross margin.
Operating expenses
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
(In millions) March 30, March 25,

As a percentage of revenue 6.5% 9.0%
Restructuring and other $ 4.5 $ (10.2) $ 14.7
As a percentage of revenue 0.4% (1.1%)
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Research and development (R&D) expenses increased in fiscal 1996 from
the prior fiscal year primarily due to the Company's continued commitment to
make substantial investments in R&D since the timely introduction and
transition to volume production of new products is essential to its
future success. Spending increased primarily in areas related to
staffing and engineering tooling needed for the development of new
products.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased as a
percentage of revenue in fiscal year 1996 as compared to 1995 primarily
due to the increase in the revenue base and the Company's ongoing effort
to control costs and expenditures. SG&A spending in absolute dollars
increased slightly primarily as a result of increased marketing costs.
The Company's
ongoing efforts to control costs and expenditures will continue into future
quarters, however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be
successful in such efforts.
Restructuring and other expenses increased during fiscal year 1996 compared
to the previous fiscal year due to two events. First, during the fourth
quarter of fiscal 1996, restructuring and other expenses of $4,500,000 were
primarily due to professional fees incurred related to the acquisition of
the Company by HEA. Effective January 1996, HEA acquired by a cash tender
offer of $6.70 per share all of the outstanding shares of the Company's
common stock which were not owned by HEA or its affiliates and the
Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of HEA. Second, the Company
recorded a gain of approximately $10.0 million, offsetting restructuring and
other expenses during the third quarter of fiscal year 1995, when the
Company entered into an agreement for the sale of the Company's
interest in Maxoptix to Kubota Electronics America
Corporation, a Delaware company, whose ultimate parent is Kubota
Corporation (Kubota). Prior to the sale, Maxtor and Kubota owned 67% and
33% interests in Maxoptix, respectively. The transaction was completed
during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1995.
At March 30, 1996, the Company had no significant accrued
restructuring charges remaining relating to the restructuring activities
which commenced in the third quarter of fiscal year 1994. On March 25,
1995, the Company had $502,000 of accrued restructuring charges
remaining related to recurring payments under certain non-
cancelable operating leases which were
substantially paid during fiscal year 1996.
Interest expense and interest income
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
(In millions) March 30, March 25,
Fiscal year ended 1996 1995 Change
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interest expense $ 11.8 $ 8.4 $ 3.4
Interest income $ 1.2 $ 4.2 $ (3.0)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interest expense increased by 40.5% in fiscal year 1996 as compared to
fiscal year 1995, even though the average interest rate incurred on total
borrowings decreased, due to a substantial increase in short-term borrowings
required in order to fund the Company's operations. The Company had
$96 million of borrowings on the $100 million unsecured, revolving line of
credit arranged by Citicorp Securities Inc. outstanding as of March 30,
1996, and expects to maintain approximately the same or higher levels of
borrowings during the next fiscal year.
In December 1995, the Company also entered into a $100 secured
bridge financing facility with HEA. As of March 30, 1996, $65 million of
borrowings were outstanding under this facility. Interest income
decreased in fiscal year 1996 due to the lack of available cash for
investing purposes.
Provision for income taxes
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
(In millions) March 30, March 25,
Fiscal year ended 1996 1995 Change
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Provision for income taxes $ 2.8 $ 2.0 $ 0.8
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
The provision for income taxes consists primarily of foreign taxes.
The Company's effective tax rate for fiscal years 1996 and 1995 differs
from the combined federal and state rates due to the repatriation of
foreign earnings absorbed by current year losses, and the Company's U.S.
operating losses
not providing current tax benefits, offset in part by the tax savings
associated with the Company's Singapore operations and valuation
of temporary differences. Income from the Singapore and Thailand
operations is not taxable in Singapore or Thailand, as a result of the
Company's pioneer tax status in both locations.
FISCAL YEAR 1995 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR 1994
Revenue and Gross Margin

Net income (loss) per share $ (1.63) $ (8.00) $ 6.37
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Revenue for fiscal year 1995 decreased by 21.3% from the prior fiscal
year generally as a result of competitive pricing pressures, offset in part
by an increase in unit volumes and a shift in product mix to higher-
capacity product offerings. Average unit selling prices, in terms of
megabyte per dollar, dropped substantially during fiscal year 1995. The
rate of sequential quarter-to-quarter decline in average unit selling
prices ranged
from approximately 15% - 20% for the first two quarters of fiscal year
1995, to less than 10% for the third quarter of fiscal year 1995, and
intensified again during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1995 to
approximately 15%. Unit volumes increased modestly during fiscal year
1995 with the most significant growth occurring during the second half of
the fiscal year.
During fiscal year 1995, the Company did not have any customer which
accounted for 10% or greater of the Company's revenue. During fiscal year
1994, the Company had one customer which accounted for approximately
24% of the Company's revenue.
Gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased to 6.2% for fiscal year
1995 from (4.5%) for fiscal year 1994. During fiscal year 1994, the
Company recorded special charges amounting to $68.9 million in Cost
of Revenue consisting of estimated costs associated with the
termination of certain products, a reduction in manufacturing capacity,
write downs of inventory and equipment that were no longer productive,
and related future commitments to third parties. Excluding the special
charges of $68.9 million, gross margin for fiscal year 1994 was 1.4%.
The increase in gross margin for fiscal year 1995 as compared to the
prior fiscal year, excluding special charges of $68.9 million, was
primarily attributable to a shift in product mix to higher-capacity,
higher-margin products and a modest increase in unit volume, offset in part
by competitive pricing pressures. The increase in gross margin also is
the result of the Company's decision in the third quarter of the
prior fiscal year to discontinue certain unprofitable products.
During the first half of fiscal year 1995, product mix was primarily
comprised of the Company's older, lower-capacity products which were nearing
end-of-life and generally contributing at a zero gross margin. The
Company's product mix for the second half of fiscal year 1995 primarily was
comprised of its valueline 7000 Series one-inch drives which were developed
on a lower-cost platform and, to a lesser extent, the new, higher-capacity,
higher-margin, 850
megabyte - 1.2 gigabyte drives shipped in volume during the fourth quarter.
In part
offsetting the improvement in gross margin, the Company recorded a charge
of $6.4 million to Cost of Revenue during the fourth quarter of fiscal year
1995 for the write down of inventory and fixed assets, and expensing
certain commitments to third parties associated with the Company's 1.8-
inch product line. The charge resulted from the Company's decision
during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1995 to discontinue
manufacturing and curtail development efforts related to this particular
product line in favor of mainstream disk drive products with stronger
market and revenue potential.

Research and development (R&D) expenses decreased from the prior fiscal
year primarily due to the consolidation of the Company's R&D
activities in Longmont, Colorado during the fourth quarter of fiscal year
1994 in connection with the Company's restructuring plan. This
consolidation eliminated the need for certain facilities in San Jose,
California, and also resulted in a substantial reduction in headcount
associated with R&D and related activities previously conducted in San
Jose.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased as a
percentage of revenue in fiscal year 1995 compared to the prior fiscal year
primarily due to the decline in the revenue base. SG&A spending in
absolute dollars increased modestly as a result of higher advertising costs
and an increase in bad debt expense, offset in part by lower general and
administrative costs, particularly headcount related, as a result of the
Company's restructuring plan initiated during fiscal year 1994.
Restructuring and other: During the third quarter of fiscal year 1995
the Company entered into an agreement for the sale of the Company's
interest in Maxoptix to Kubota Electronics America Corporation, a Delaware
company, whose ultimate parent is Kubota Corporation (Kubota). Prior to
the sale, Maxtor and Kubota owned 67% and 33% interests in Maxoptix,
respectively. The transaction was completed during the fourth quarter of
fiscal year 1995. As consideration for the sale, the Company received
$1.5 million in cash and was relieved of certain liabilities. The
Company recorded a gain of approximately $10.0 million on the sale.
During fiscal year 1994, the Company experienced significant production
delays with certain product lines as a result of both design and vendor
problems and determined that it was unable to bring to market profitable
successor products to certain existing products. The Company therefore
decided to discontinue certain products and manufacturing activities, and
recorded special charges amounting to $68.9 million in Cost of Revenue in
the third quarter of fiscal year 1994. The charges consisted of
estimated costs associated with the termination of certain products, a
reduction in manufacturing capacity, write downs of inventory and
equipment that were no longer productive, and related future commitments
to third parties. The charges were comprised of approximately $45.4
million of inventory-related expenses, approximately
$19.8 million of equipment-related expenses, and approximately $3.7 million of
other associated expenses. As of March 25, 1995, all actions were
substantially completed related to the $68.9 million special charges. As of
March 30, 1996, no amounts remained accrued for payments related to these
special charges.
The Company recorded a restructuring charge of $19.5 million in the
third quarter of fiscal year 1994. The restructuring plan provided
for the consolidation and streamlining of certain operations and
administration. The plan provided for a worldwide headcount reduction
of
approximately
500 employees, which was substantially completed during February 1994.
The Company's research and development activities were consolidated at
its Longmont, Colorado facilities, which eliminated the need for
certain facilities in San Jose, California. In addition, the Company's
actions
eliminated the need for certain manufacturing facilities in Singapore.
The charge consisted of approximately $11.8 million in estimated costs related
to the worldwide reduction in headcount and approximately $7.7 million
associated with facility consolidations, including lease and other
obligations on certain facility leases.
As of March 25, 1995, the Company completed all of its restructuring
actions related to the $19.5 million restructuring charges taken in fiscal
1994. As a result of these actions, worldwide headcount was reduced by
approximately 500 employees from manufacturing, research and development,
sales, marketing and administrative functions, and facilities space was
reduced by approximately 350,000 square feet. The Company's savings from
operations as a result of these actions amounted to approximately $9.0
million per quarter, beginning with the quarter ended March 26, 1994.
Certain actions were completed at a cost which was slightly higher or
lower than originally estimated. On a net basis, total actual costs
were lower than originally estimated by approximately $0.2 million.
The net adjustment of approximately $0.2 million was recorded to
Restructuring and Other during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1995 upon
completion of the Company's restructuring actions.

outstanding during fiscal year 1995 as compared to the prior fiscal year.
Interest income increased as a result of higher cash and short-term
investments balances during fiscal year 1995 as compared to the prior
fiscal year.
Provision for income taxes

- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Provision for income taxes $ 2.0 $ 1.9 $ 0.1
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
The provision for income taxes consists primarily of foreign taxes.
The Company's effective tax rate for fiscal year 1995 differs from the
combined federal and state rate due to the repatriation of foreign earnings
absorbed by current year losses and the Company's U.S. operating losses
not providing current tax benefits, offset in part by the tax savings
associated with the Company's Singapore operations and valuation of
temporary differences. Income from the Singapore operations is not taxable
in Singapore as a result of the Company's pioneer tax status. The
Company's effective tax rate for fiscal year 1994 is below the combined
federal and state rate due to the repatriation of foreign earnings
absorbed by current year losses, the Company's U.S. operating losses not
providing current tax benefits and valuation of temporary differences,
offset in part by the tax savings associated with the Company's Singapore
operations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- ----------------------------------------------------
March 30,
(In millions) 1996
- ----------------------------------------------------
Cash and cash equivalents $ 52.8
Short-term borrowings 110.6
Net cash used in operating activities 132.8
Net cash used in investing activities 61.2
Net cash provided by financing activities 150.3
- -----------------------------------------------------
As of March 30, 1996, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of
$52.8 million as compared to $96.5 million as of March 25, 1995, a decrease
of $43.7 million. The Company had no short-term investments as of March
30, 1996 as compared to $12.0 million as of March 25, 1995, a decrease of
$12.0 million. The combined decrease in the Company's cash and cash
equivalents, and shortterm investments of $55.7 million was primarily
the result of operating losses.
Net cash used in operating activities during fiscal year 1996 was
primarily attributable to the net loss less non-cash depreciation and
amortization totaling approximately $77.6 million and an increase in
inventory of
$66.3 million. Inventories increased by $66.3 million in fiscal 1996 as
compared to fiscal 1995 as a result of year end raw materials purchases in
anticipation of shortages of certain key components in order to meet the
first fiscal quarter 1997 build demands and the product mix of finished
goods moving from lower capacity, lower cost products to higher capacity,
higher cost products.
Net cash used in investing activities during the fiscal year 1996
was primarily attributable to $72.7 million of capital expenditures offset
in part by $12.0 million in proceeds from short-term investments. A
majority of the capital expenditures activity related to the acquisition of
manufacturing and engineering equipment to develop new products and enhance
the productivity of the Singapore manufacturing facility.
Net cash provided by financing activities during the fiscal 1996
primarily reflects $145.6 million in net proceeds from short-term
borrowings, drawn under available credit lines and $7.7 million common
stock issued under the Company's stock purchase and stock option plans.
On August 31, 1995, the Company established a $100 million
unsecured, revolving line of credit through Citicorp Securities Inc. and
syndicated among ten banks, which is guaranteed by Hyundai Electronics
Industries Co., Ltd. (HEI). This $100 million line of credit is a 364-
day committed facility, renewable annually up to three years, that is
used primarily for general operating purposes. As of March 30, 1996, $96
million of borrowings and $1 million in letters of credit were
outstanding.
On December 29, 1995, the Company established a $100 million secured
bridge financing facility with HEA to provide additional working capital
financing through the Merger transition period. This credit facility
provided for draw downs up to $100 million and had a first priority
secured interest in all of the Company's accounts receivable. As of
March 30, 1996, $65 million of borrowings were outstanding under this
facility. All outstanding principal and accrued interest was due and paid
on April 10, 1996.
On January 31, 1996, the Company signed a one year credit facility in
the amount of $13.8 million to be used for capital equipment requirements
at the Singapore facility. This credit facility is guaranteed by HEI
and all outstanding amounts of principal and accrued interest are due and
payable on February 2, 1997.
On March 30, 1996, the Company entered into an accounts
receivable securitization program with Citicorp Securities, Inc. Under this
program, the Company may make a repeating cumulative sale of its qualified
trade accounts receivable up to $100 million on a non-recourse basis. The
proceeds from the sale of these receivables received on April 10, 1996 were
used to pay down the entire secured bridge financing facility on that date,
as described above.
On April 10, 1996, the Company obtained a new $100 million intercompany
line of credit from HEA. This line of credit allows for draw downs up
to $100 million and interest is payable quarterly. All outstanding
amounts of principal and accrued interest are due and payable on April 10,
1997. As of June 28, 1996, $65 million was outstanding.
In June 1996, the Company entered into a volume purchase agreement with
a supplier to build certain key components. Under the terms of this
agreement, the Company has agreed to advance up to $20 million to the
supplier, by December 31, 1996, to finance purchases of certain
equipment required to manufacture product volumes as committed under this
agreement. Such advances will be repaid to the Company in the form of
price discounts and are secured by the equipment purchased.
The liquidity of the Company was adversely affected during fiscal year 1996
by significant losses from operations and liquidity has been
significantly reduced compared to the same period last year. The Company
is implementing ongoing measures with the goal of improving liquidity.
In addition to attempting to improve operating margins on product
sales throughthe introduction of new products and reduction of manufacturing
costs, the
Company remains focused on controlling other operating expenses. However,
the Company believes that it must continue to make substantial investments
in R&D since the timely introduction and transition to volume production
of new products is essential to its future success.
The Company expects that it will require alternative sources of
liquidity, including additional sources of financing in fiscal 1997.
The Company recognizes that given the uncertainties of the disk drive
industry and the risks inherent in accomplishing the above measures, or if
the results of those measures do not meet expectations, it may be
prudent to seek additional sources of financing. The Company is
engaged in ongoing discussions with various parties, including HEI,
HEA and certain financial institutions regarding additional sources of
financing. While the Company believes that additional sources of
financing will be available, there can be no assurance that financing will
be available on terms which are favorable to the Company.
Subject to unforeseen changes in general business conditions, the
Company believes that the combination of the measures described above
and other available actions, together with its balances of cash and cash
equivalents, expected cash flow from operations, equipment financing and
line of credit borrowing capabilities (supported by HEA) will be
sufficient to fund the Company's working capital and capital expenditure
requirements through fiscal year 1997.
DIVIDEND POLICY
The Company has never paid cash dividends on its capital stock. The
Company does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the near future. Under
the terms of the Company's lines of credit facilities, the Company may not
declare or pay any dividends without the prior consent of its lenders.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Maxtor Corporation (Maxtor or the Company) and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated. Maxtor Corporation operates as a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Hyundai Electronics America (HEA).
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements
and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments
The Company considers all highly liquid investments, which are purchased
with a maturity of three months or less,to be cash equivalents. Other short-
term investments consists of floating rate notes, certificates of deposit
and commercial paper. The Company generally purchases investments with a
maturity from three to twelve months.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (computed on a first-in, first-
out basis) or market.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization are provided on the straight-line basis over
the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are generally from three to
five years, except for buildings which are depreciated over thirty years.
Assets under capital leases and leasehold improvements are amortized over
the shorter of the asset life or the remaining lease term. Capital lease
amortization is included with depreciation expense.
Revenue recognition and product warranty
Revenue is recognized upon product shipment. Revenue from sales to
certain distributors is subject to agreements providing limited rights of
return, as well as price protection on unsold merchandise. Accordingly,
the Company records reserves upon shipment for estimated returns,
exchanges and credits for price protection. The Company also provides
for the estimated cost to repair or replace products under warranty at the
time of sale.
Accounting for income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes"
(SFAS No. 109).
Net loss per share
Net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of shares
of common and Class A common stock outstanding during each of fiscal years
1996, 1995 and 1994.
Foreign currency translation and foreign currency financial instruments
The functional currency for all foreign operations is the U.S. dollar.
As such, all material foreign exchange gains or losses are included in
the determination of net loss. Approximately $1,086,000, $1,014,000, and
$865,000 of net foreign exchange losses were included in net loss in fiscal
years 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively. To reduce the impact of
foreign currency fluctuations on the Company's monetary asset and
liability positions, the Company enters into foreign currency forward
exchange contracts. Gains and losses on the foreign currency forward
contracts are deferred and offset by gains and losses on the underlying
hedged exposures. See Note 2 for further disclosure regarding the
Company's derivative financial instruments.
Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of accounts receivable,
cash equivalents and short-term investments. The Company's products are
sold worldwide to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), distributors,
and other emerging sales channels such as computer specialty
retailers and computer superstores. Concentration of credit risk with
respect to the Company's trade receivables is limited by the Company's
ongoing credit evaluation process and the geographical dispersion of
sales transactions, therefore the Company generally requires no collateral
from its customers. The allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable
is based upon the expected collectibility of all accounts receivable. The
Company has cash equivalent and short-term investment policies that
limit the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution
and restrict placement of these investments to financial
institutions evaluated as highly credit-worthy.
Fiscal year
The Company maintains a 52/53-week fiscal year cycle. Fiscal year 1996
was comprised of 53 weeks. Fiscal years 1995 and 1994 were each comprised
of 52 weeks. The Company's fiscal year ends on the last Saturday of March.
2. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Investments
The following is a summary of the Company's investments by major
security type:
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
March 30, March 25,
(In thousands) 1996 1995
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Money market instruments $ 32,070 $ 78,194
Floating rate notes - 11,998
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ 32,070 $ 90,192
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Included in cash and cash equivalents $ 32,070 78,194
Included in short-term investments - 11,998
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ 32,070 $ 90,192
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
At March 30, 1996 and March 25, 1995, all investments in debt and
equity securities are classified as available-for-sale and as such are
carried at fair market value. Realized gains and losses and declines in
value judged to be other than temporary are included in interest
income. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific
identification method. As of and for the years ended March 30, 1996 and
March 25, 1995, realized and unrealized gains and losses on available-for-
sale investments were not material.
Fair value disclosures
The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, and short-term
investments approximate cost due to the short period of time to
maturity or due to floating rate resets on investments. The
carrying values of the note receivable and the investment in affiliate,
both of which are classified in other assets, approximate their fair
values. The fair value of the Company's fixed rate debt is estimated based
on the current rates offered to the Company for similar debt instruments of
the same remaining maturities. The fair value of the Company's variable
rate debt approximates its carrying value as these instruments are adjusted
periodically during the course of the year at market rates. The fair value
of the Company's convertible subordinated debentures is based on quoted
market prices. The fair value of foreign currency forward exchange

Derivative financial instruments
The Company enters into currency forward contracts to manage foreign
currency exchange risk associated with the Company's manufacturing
operations in Singapore. The Company's policy is to hedge all material
transaction and translation exposures on a quarterly basis. Contracts are
generally entered into at the end of each fiscal quarter to reduce foreign
currency exposures for the following fiscal quarter. Contracts generally
have maturities of three months or less. Any gains or losses on these
instruments are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation", and are
generally included in Cost of Revenue. Unrealized gains or losses on
foreign currency forward contracts that are designated and effective as
hedges of firm commitments, are deferred and recorded in the same period
as the underlying transaction. Notional amounts of outstanding currency
forward contracts were $2,659,000 and $33,769,000, for fiscal years ended
1996 and 1995, respectively.
3. JOINT VENTURE
In March 1989, the Company and Kubota Corporation (Kubota) organized a
jointlyowned corporation, Maxoptix Corporation (Maxoptix). On December 26,
1994, the Company entered into an agreement for the sale of the Company's
interest in Maxoptix to Kubota Electronics America Corporation, a Delaware
company, whose ultimate parent is Kubota. Prior to the sale, Maxtor and
Kubota owned 67% and 33% interests in Maxoptix, respectively. The
transaction was completed on February 18, 1995. As consideration for the
sale, the Company received $1.5 million in cash and was relieved of certain
liabilities. The Company recorded a gain of approximately $10.0 million on
the sale. The results of operations of Maxoptix for fiscal years 1995 and
1994 were immaterial to the Company's statements of operations, balance
sheets and statements of cash flows.
4. MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
The Company operates in a single industry segment: the design, manufacture
and sale of data storage products for desktop and notebook computer systems.
It has a world-wide sales, service and distribution network. The Company
markets and sells its products through a direct sales force to OEMs,
distributors and other emerging sales channels such as computer
specialty retailers and computer superstores.
During fiscal year 1996 and 1995 no customer accounted for more than 10%
of the Company's revenue. One customer accounted for approximately 24% of
the Company's revenue in fiscal year 1994.
The Company's export sales represented 41%, 48% and 43% of total revenue
in fiscal years 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Approximately 60%, 53%,
and 53% of export sales were to Europe, while 35%, 38% and 35% of export
sales were to Asia Pacific in fiscal years 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Operations outside the United States primarily consist of manufacturing
plants in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Thailand that produce subassemblies
and final assemblies for the Company's disk drive products. The geographic
breakdown of the Company's activities for each of the three fiscal years
in the period ended March 30, 1996 is presented in the following table:

amounts that are above cost. Such transfers are eliminated in the
consolidated financial statements. Identifiable assets are those assets
that can be directly associated with a particular geographic location
through acquisition and/or utilization. In determining each of the
geographic locations' income (loss) from operations and identifiable
assets, the expenses and assets relating to general corporate or
headquarter activities are included in the amounts for the geographic
locations where they were incurred, acquired or utilized.

Later years 80,000
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total $ 276,576
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 5.75% Convertible Subordinated Debentures (Debentures) originally
were convertible at any time prior to maturity, unless previously
redeemed, into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion rate
of 25 shares per each $1,000 principal amount of Debentures (equivalent to
a conversion price of $40 per share), subject to adjustment in certain
events. Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture governing the Debentures,
dated March 1, 1987, upon the closing of the Merger under the Agreement and
Plan of Merger, dated November 2, 1995, between HEA and the Company,
Debenture holders were entitled to receive a conversion in lieu of shares
of common stock of the Company the same consideration per share received by
holders of common stock at the closing of the Merger. A First
Supplemental Indenture, dated January 11, 1996, accordingly provides
that each $1,000 principal amount of Debentures may be convertible to
25 shares of common stock of the Company (equivalent to a conversion
price of $40 per share), which is immediately converted into a cash payment
equal to $6.70 times 25 shares of common stock of the Company.
Interest on the Debentures is payable on March 1 and September 1 of each
year. The Debentures, at the option of the Company, are redeemable at
100.575% of the principal amount as of March 30, 1996 and thereafter at
prices adjusting to the principal amount on or after March 1, 1997, plus
accrued interest. The Debentures are entitled to a sinking fund of
$5,000,000 principal amount of Debentures, payable annually beginning
March 1, 1998, which is calculated to retire at least 70% of the Debentures
prior to maturity. The Debentures are subordinated in right to payment to
all senior indebtedness.
On August 31, 1995, the Company established a $100 million
unsecured, revolving line of credit through Citicorp Securities Inc. and
syndicated among ten banks, which is guaranteed by Hyundai Electronics
Industries Co., Ltd. (HEI). This $100 million line of credit is a 364-
day committed facility, renewable annually up to three years, that is
used primarily for general operating purposes. As of March 30, 1996,
$96 million of borrowings and $1 million in letters of credit were
outstanding.
On December 29, 1995, the Company established a $100 million secured
bridge financing facility with HEA to provide additional working capital
financing through the Merger transition period. This credit facility
provided for draw downs up to $100 million and had a first priority
secured interest in all of the Company's accounts receivable. As of
March 30, 1996, $65 million of borrowings were outstanding under this
facility. All outstanding principal and accrued interest was due and paid
on April 10, 1996.
On March 30, 1996, the Company entered into a accounts
receivable securitization program with Citicorp Securities, Inc. Under this
program, the Company can make a repeating sale of its qualified trade accounts
receivables up to $100 million on a non-recourse basis. The proceeds from
the sale of these receivables received on April 10, 1996 were used to pay
down the entire secured bridge financing facility on that date, as described
above.
On January 31, 1996, the Company signed a one year credit facility in
the amount of $13.8 million to be used for capital equipment requirements
at the Singapore facility. This credit facility is guaranteed by HEI
and all outstanding amounts of principal and accrued interest are due and
payable on February 2, 1997.
On April 10, 1996, the Company obtained a new $100 million intercompany
line of credit from HEA. This line of credit allows for draw downs up
to $100 million and interest is payable quarterly. All outstanding
amounts of principal and accrued interest are due and payable on April 10,
1997. As of June 28, 1996, $65 million was outstanding.
The Company leases certain equipment under long-term leases. These
leases have been accounted for as installment purchases and, accordingly,
capitalized costs of $1,676,975 and $1,845,000 have been included in
machinery and equipment at March 30, 1996 and March 25, 1995,
respectively. Accumulated amortization of the leased equipment amounted to
$1,490,055 and $1,352,000 at March 30, 1996 and March 25, 1995,
respectively.
6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company leases certain of its principal facilities and certain
machinery and equipment under operating lease arrangements. The future
minimum annual rental commitments as of March 30, 1996 are as follows:
Fiscal year ending (In thousands)
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1997 $ 9,974
1998 6,507
1999 4,181

2001 1,001
Later years 14,443
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total $ 38,998
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The above commitments extend through fiscal year 2016. Rental expense
was approximately $11,960,000, $16,998,000 and $15,668,000 for fiscal years
1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
As part of the acquisition of the MiniScribe business in June 1990,
the Company was assigned a patent license agreement between MiniScribe and
Rodime plc (Rodime) covering patents related to 3.5-inch disk drives. The
Company believes that the assignment was valid; however, Rodime has taken the
position that the assignment was invalid and would not in any event
cover 3.5-inch drives manufactured and sold by the Company before the
acquisition of MiniScribe's assets. In February 1993, Maxtor commenced an
action for declaratory relief in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Denver, Colorado
seeking a judgment that the assignment was valid.
Rodime filed a denial and
counterclaim for patent infringement. In April 1994, the relevant claims
of the Rodime patent at issue in Rodime's counterclaims were declared
invalid in litigation between Rodime and another disk drive manufacturer.
The litigation between the Company and Rodime was then stayed pending an
appeal by Rodime. In November 1995, the Federal Circuit affirmed the
earlier court decision, and in February 1996, Rodime filed a petition
with the U.S. Supreme Court requesting review of the Federal Circuit's
opinion. The litigation remains stayed pending action by the Supreme
Court.
In November 1995, three separate actions (Wacholder v. Gallo, et al.,
Silver v. Maxtor, et al., and Barrington v. Gallo, et al.) were filed in the
Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, in and for New Castle County.
Each of the foregoing actions generally alleged a breach of fiduciary
duty by the Company's directors in connection with the offer to purchase
the Company by Hyundai Electronics America and sought class
certification, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent
the acquisition, and damages and attorneys' fees. These actions were
subsequently consolidated with a similar California action (Campanella
v. Maxtor, et al.). Thereafter, following negotiations among counsel to
parties to the consolidated action, an agreement in principle for
settlement was reached. A memorandum of understanding was executed by the
parties which provided that in exchange for certain additional disclosures
to the Company's shareholders regarding the circumstances of the tender
offer, the foregoing actions would be settled, subject to completion of
confirmatory discovery, approval by the Court of Chancery, and payment by
the Company of plaintiffs' counsel fees and costs in an amount not to
exceed $315,000. The Company anticipates that settlement documents will be
submitted to the Court of Chancery by the end of June, 1996, and a date
for hearing should be set by late summer 1996.
In March 1996, a pro se complaint was filed in the Southern District of
New York by Morton Berman (Berman v. Maxtor Corporation, et al.). The
complaint alleged certain claims arising out of violation of U.S.
Securities law, Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organization Act of
1970, and common law doctrines of fraud, negligence and negligent
misrepresentation, against the Company and several former and current
executive officers of the Company. In
April 1996, a motion for dismissal was filed on behalf of the Company and
the other defendants. In June 1996, Berman filed papers opposing the
motion and the Company replied. Also in June 1996, Berman filed a motion
to amend his complaint and the Company opposed the motion, requesting that
the court defer adjudication of Berman's motion to amend until it ruled
upon the Company's motion to dismiss.
Certain other claims, including other patent infringement claims, against
the Company have arisen in the course of its business. There is
presently no litigation involving such claims, and the Company believes
the outcome of these claims, and the claims described above, will not have
a material adverse effect, if any, on the Company's financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In January 1996, Hyundai Acquisition, Inc. (HAI) acquired by a cash
tender offer for $6.70 per share 32,044,065 shares of the Company's common
stock (the Acquisition). With the 19,480,000 Class A shares already
owned, HAI owned
over 90% of the Company's outstanding voting capital. On January 11,
1996, HAI was merged into the Company in a short form merger (the Merger),
and the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Hyundai Electronics
America (HEA). Shares of common stock outstanding immediately prior to the
Acquisition and Merger which were not owned by HEA or its affiliates were
converted into the right to receive $6.70 in cash per share pursuant to
the Merger. As of the Merger, trading of Maxtor common stock on the
NASDAQ National Market was suspended. Currently, there is no public
market for the Company's equity securities. The Company's 5.75%
convertible subordinated Debentures, due
2012, remain publicly traded.
In May 1995, the Company entered into a definitive manufacturing
agreement with HEI. Under the terms of the agreement, HEI manufactures
Maxtor-designed hard disk drives for the Company at a site in Korea.
Production at the Korean manufacturing site has commenced during the first
quarter of fiscal 1997..
8. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (DEFICIT)
At the time of the Merger, the Company canceled its employee stock
purchase plan and stockholder rights plan.
Stock options
Effective as of the Merger, the Company's Fiscal 1988, 1992, 1995 Stock
Option Plans and the 1986 and 1996 Outside Directors Stock Option Plans
terminated and were subsequently replaced by the Company's 1996 Stock
Option Plan (the Plan).The Plan was approved by the Board of Directors
in May 1996 and
provides for a maximum of 10,272,168 shares to be reserved for grant.
Options under the Plan expire ten years from the date of grant.
The Plan generally provides for non-qualified stock options and
incentive stock options to be granted to eligible employees, consultants,
and directors of the Company at a price not less than 85% of the fair
market value at the date of grant, as determined by the Board of Directors.
Any person who is not an employee may be granted only a non-qualified stock
option.
Options granted under the Plan vest over a four-year period with 25%
vesting at the first anniversary date of the grant date and 6.25%
each quarter thereafter. The vesting schedule begins February 1, 1996
or hiring date, whichever is later.

continue to apply APB No. 25 for purposes of determining net income and to
adopt the pro forma disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 for fiscal
1997. The adoption of SFAS No. 123 is not expected to have a material
effect on the financial statements of the Company.

The provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by
applying the U.S. statutory rate of 35% for fiscal years 1996, 1995 and
1994 to income (loss) before income taxes. The principal reasons for this
difference are as follows:

Deferred income taxes reflect the tax effect of temporary differences
between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial
reporting purposes and the amounts used for income taxes purposes. The
significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities
under SFAS No. 109 are as follows:

Approximately $16,590,000 of the valuation allowance is attributable to
stock options, the benefit of which will be credited to additional paid-in
capital when realized.
Pretax income from foreign operations was approximately
$95,900,000, $62,200,000 and $61,000,000 in fiscal years 1996, 1995 and
1994, respectively. The Company currently enjoys a tax holiday for its
operations in Singapore that has been extended until June 30, 1997.
The net impact of this tax holiday was to decrease net loss by
approximately $22,763,000 in fiscal 1996 and $15,000,000 in each of
fiscal years 1995 and 1994, respectively. This equates to $0.55, $0.29
and $0.47 per share fully diluted, for fiscal years 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.
At March 30, 1996, for federal income tax purposes, the Company had
net operating loss carryforwards of $293,000,000 which will expire
beginning in fiscal year 1997 and tax credit carryforwards of
approximately $18,300,000 which will expire beginning in fiscal year
1999. Certain changes in stock
ownership can result in a limitation on the amount of net operating loss
and tax credit carryovers that can be utilized each year. The Company
determined it has undergone such an ownership change. Consequently,
utilization of approximately $271,000,000 of net operating loss
carryforwards and the deduction equivalent of approximately $18,300,000
of tax credit carryforwards will be limited to approximately $22,400,000 per
year.
The acquisition of the Company by Hyundai, more fully described in the
related party transaction footnote, resulted in the Company becoming part
of the HEA consolidated group for federal income tax purposes during
January 1996. As a result, the Company's loss for the post-acquisition
period will be computed in accordance with a tax sharing agreement which
will be entered into between the Company and HEA. The Company has not
recorded any tax benefit in its financial statements for the amount of
the post-change net operating loss to be included in the HEA consolidated
income tax return.
10. SPECIAL ITEMS AND RESTRUCTURING
In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1995, the Company recorded a
nonrecurring gain of approximately $10.0 million related to the sale of
the Company's interest in Maxoptix to Kubota (see Note 3).
During fiscal year 1994, the Company experienced significant production
delays with certain product lines as a result of both design and vendor
problems and determined that it was unable to bring to market profitable
successor products to certain existing products. The Company therefore
decided to discontinue certain products and manufacturing activities, and
recorded special charges amounting to $68.9 million in Cost of Revenue in
the third quarter of fiscal year 1994. The charges consisted of
estimated costs associated with the termination of certain products, a
reduction in manufacturing capacity, write downs of inventory and
equipment that were no longer productive, and related future commitments
to third parties. The charges were comprised of approximately $45.4
million of inventory-related expenses, approximately $19.8 million of
equipment-related expenses, and approximately $3.7 million of other
associated expenses. As of March 25, 1995, all actions were
substantially completed related to the $68.9 million special charges. As of
March 30, 1996, no amounts remained accrued for payments related to these
special charges.
The Company recorded a restructuring charge of $19.5 million in the
third quarter of fiscal year 1994. The restructuring plan provided
for the consolidation and streamlining of certain operations and
administration. The plan provided for a worldwide headcount reduction
of approximately
500 employees, which was substantially completed during February 1994.
The Company's research and development activities were consolidated at
its Longmont, Colorado facilities, which eliminated the need for
certain facilities in San Jose, California. In addition, the Company's
actions eliminated the need for certain manufacturing facilities in
Singapore. The
charge consisted of approximately $11.8 million in estimated costs related
to the worldwide reduction in headcount and approximately $7.7 million
associated with facility consolidations, including lease and other
obligations on certain facility leases.
As of March 25, 1995, the Company completed all of its restructuring
actions related to the $19.5 million restructuring charges taken in fiscal
1994. As a
result of these actions, worldwide headcount was reduced by approximately
500 employees from manufacturing, research and development, sales,
marketing and administrative functions and facilities space was reduced
by approximately 350,000 square feet. The Company's savings from
operations as a result of these actions amounted to approximately $9.0
million per quarter, beginning with the quarter ended March 26, 1994.
Certain actions were completed at a cost which was slightly higher or
lower than originally estimated. On a net basis, total actual costs
were lower than originally estimated by approximately $0.2 million.
The net adjustment of approximately $0.2 million was recorded to
Restructuring and Other during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1995 upon
completion of the Company's restructuring actions.
The following table presents a roll-forward reconciliation of the activity
in the restructuring accrual balance from December 25, 1993 to March 30,

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENT (UNAUDITED)
In June 1996, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with HEA
whereby HEA exchanged 600 shares of Common Stock for 58,208,955 shares of
Series A Preferred Stock, $.01 par value. As of June 28, 1996, 58,208,955
shares of Series A Preferred Stock and no shares of Common Stock, $.01 par
value, were issued and outstanding. As of such date, none of the
outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock were held
by persons other than HEA.
In November 1994, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary,
IMS International Manufacturing Services, Ltd., whose primary business
was contract manufacturing for electronic original equipment manufacturers
(OEMs). The Company's printed circuit board (PCB) assembly plant in Hong
Kong formed the foundation of the business, and a second plant was added
in Thailand in May 1995. In early June 1996, the Company reorganized
all of the operations under a wholly-owed Delaware subsidiary, International
Manufacturing Services, Inc. (IMS). IMS not only supplies the Company,
but a variety of external customers, with PCB assemblies, sub-assemblies
and fully integrated box-build products. In May 1996, the Company
entered into an agreement to sell a majority interest in of IMS to
certain IMS management and other investors. At completion of the
transaction in June 1996, the Company received $25 million in cash and
$20 million in notes from IMS, and retained a 23.5% ownership interest in
IMS. Pursuant to the Agreements, the Company made various
representations and warranties as to itself and IMS and has agreed
to indemnify Buyer for any breaches thereof. Generally, in the event that
losses from such breaches when aggregated exceed $500,000, Buyer shall be
entitled to indemnification for all losses, including the first $500,000 up
to a maximum total of $17,500,000, provided that tax and environmental
representations are not subject to the liability limit.
REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Maxtor Corporation (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hyundai Electronics
America) as of March 30, 1996 and March 25, 1995, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and
cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended
March 30, 1996. Our audits also included the financial statement
schedule listed in the Index at Item 14(a). These financial statements
and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial
position of Maxtor Corporation at March 30, 1996 and March 25,
1995, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows
for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended March 30, 1996,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in
our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered
in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole,
presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth
therein.

(1) Effective as of the Merger with Hyundai Electronics America (HEA),
the Company's Fiscal 1988, 1992, 1995 Stock Option Plans and the 1986
and 1996 Outside Directors Stock Option Plans terminated. Immediately
prior to the merger date, vesting of all options was accelerated to
100%. Shares of each outstanding option were immediately canceled and
a net payment of $6.70 per share less the exercise price per share was
issued. There were no options outstanding at fiscal year ended March
30, 1996 by executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table.
(2) These amounts represent the number of option share
outstanding immediately prior to the Merger, subsequent to the
acceleration of all unvested option shares, which were canceled
pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger with HEA in
lieu of a cash payment of $6.70 per share less the exercise price per
share.
(3) These amounts represent the cash payments disbursed for options
canceled pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger
with HEA, calculated as the difference between $6.70 per share and
the exercise price per share times the number of the stock options
outstanding on the date of the Merger.
Item 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
In June 1996, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with HEA
whereby HEA exchanged 600 shares of Common Stock for 58,208,955 shares of
Series A Preferred Stock, $.01 par value. As of June 28, 1996, 58,208,955
shares of Series A Preferred Stock and no shares of Common Stock, $.01 par
value, were issued and outstanding. As of such date, none of the
outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock were held
by persons other than HEA.
In January 1996, Hyundai Acquisition, Inc. (HAI) acquired by a cash
tender offer for $6.70 per share 32,044,065 shares of the Company's common
stock (the Acquisition). With the 19,480,000 Class A shares already
owned, HAI owned over 90% of the Company's outstanding voting capital.
On January 11, 1996, HAI was merged into the Company in a short form
merger (the Merger), and the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of
Hyundai Electronics America (HEA). Shares of common stock outstanding
immediately prior to the Acquisition and Merger which were not owned by
HEA or its affiliates were converted into the right to receive $6.70 in
cash per share pursuant to the Merger. As of the Merger, trading of
Maxtor common stock on the NASDAQ National Market was suspended.
Currently, there is no public market for the Company's equity
securities. The Company's 5.75% convertible subordinated Debentures,
due
2012, remain publicly traded.
The Agreement and Plan of Merger was filed as an exhibit to the
Company's
Schedule 14D-9, as amended. See the Company's Schedule 14D-9 for
further information concerning the tender offer and merger.

Statements, Footnote 5, page 31.
For information concerning severance arrangements with officers of

Compensation, page 41.
In May 1995, the Company entered into a manufacturing and purchase
agreement pursuant to which HEI manufactures Maxtor-designed hard disk
drives for the Company. The additional manufacturing capacity provided
by HEI supplements the Company's production capacity at its manufacturing
plant in Singapore, and the two companies intend to participate in an
ongoing exchange of technology to enable HEI to assume a leadership
role in disk drive manufacturing and to enable Maxtor to obtain
high-quality, low-cost manufacturing capacity.
On November 2, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors approved an
Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") by and among the
Company, Hyundai Acquisition, Inc. ("HAI"), and HEA. On November 8, 1995,
HAI commenced a tender offer for all outstanding shares of the Company
for a purchase price of $6.70 per share. Upon expiration of the tender
offer on January 5, approximately 94% of the outstanding shares of the
Company had been tendered and accepted for payment by HAI. Accordingly,
on January 11, 1996, the merger of HAI into the Company was
effected under Delaware General
Corporation Law and pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, and
the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of HEA.
It is the Company's policy to enter into indemnification agreements with its
officers and directors, (the "Agreements"). Pursuant to the Agreements, the
Company has agreed to indemnify its officers and directors to the maximum
extent permitted under Delaware law.

Form S-8 (effective July 13, 1990) under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, the undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows, which
undertaking shall be incorporated by reference into the Company's
Registration Statements on Form S-8 Nos. 33-2206, 33-18323, 33-18324, 33-
21514, 33-21518, 33-28427 and 33-32190.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in
the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection
with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be
signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the
