PART I
------
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Items 1 and 3 of this 10-K contain forward-looking statements concerning our
development efforts, strategy, new product introductions, backlog and
litigation. These statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties including
those discussed throughout this document as well as under "Factors Affecting
Future Operating Results" in Item 7.
GENERAL
Xilinx, Inc. (Xilinx or the Company) designs, develops and markets complete
programmable logic solutions, including advanced integrated circuits (ICs),
software design tools, predefined system functions delivered as cores of logic
and field engineering support. Our programmable logic devices (PLDs) include
field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and complex programmable logic devices
(CPLDs). These devices are standard products that our customers program to
perform desired logic functions. Our products are designed to provide high
integration and quick time-to-market for electronic equipment manufacturers
primarily in the telecommunications, networking, computing, industrial and
consumer markets. Our products are sold globally through a network of
independent sales representatives, distributors, and to original equipment
manufacturers ("OEMs").
Competitive pressures compel manufacturers of electronic systems to accelerate
their products' introduction to market. Customer requirements for improved
functionality, performance, reliability and lower cost are addressed through the
use of components that integrate ever larger numbers of logic gates onto a
single integrated circuit. Such integration often results in greater speed,
smaller die size, lower power consumption and reduced costs. The rapid
proliferation of the Internet and wireless communication networks continues to
fuel the demand for more complex integrated circuits. At the same time,
tremendous pressure is placed on electronic equipment manufacturers' product
life cycles. Due to their inherent complexity and reprogrammability, our PLDs
enable electronic equipment manufacturers to effectively respond to these
evolving market trends.
We were organized in California in February 1984 and in November 1985 were
reorganized to incorporate our research and development limited partnership. In
April 1990, we reincorporated in Delaware. Our corporate facilities and
executive offices are located at 2100 Logic Drive, San Jose, California 95124
and our website is www.xilinx.com.
Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest March 31. For ease of
presentation, March 31 has been utilized as the fiscal year-end for all
financial statement captions. Fiscal 2000 ended on April 1, 2000 while fiscal
1999 and 1998 ended on April 3, 1999 and March 28, 1998, respectively.
PRODUCTS
Integral to the future success of our business is the timely introduction of new
products which address customer requirements and compete effectively on the
basis of price, functionality, and performance. Delays in developing new
products with anticipated technological advances or delays in commencing volume
shipments of new products could have an adverse effect on our financial
condition and results of operations. In addition, there can be no assurance
that such products, if introduced, will gain market acceptance or respond
effectively to new technological changes or product introductions by other
companies.
Programmable Logic Devices
We currently classify our product offerings into four categories by
manufacturing process technology. Base products consist of our mature product
families that are currently manufactured on technologies of 0.6-micron process
and older. Base products include the XC3000, XC3100, and XC4000 families.
Mainstream products are currently manufactured on 0.35 and 0.5-micron
technologies and include the XC4000E, XC4000EX, XC4000XL, XC5200, XC9500,
XC9500XL, Spartan(TM) and CoolRunner(R) product lines. Advanced products include
Our newest technologies manufactured on 0.25-micron and smaller processes, which
include the XC4000XV, XC4000XLA, Spartan XL, Spartan-II, Virtex(TM), and
Virtex-E product lines. Support products comprise the fourth product
category, and include serial proms, HardWire devices, and software.
Virtex FPGAs:
The Virtex FPGA series, announced in October 1998, is the industry's first
million-gate FPGA. Nine Virtex devices are currently in production. The Virtex
devices are found in traditional programmable logic applications such as
networking or telecommunications, and in applications like storage area
networks, routers, high end servers, switching equipment, cellular base stations
and High Definition Television (HDTV) infrastructure. The Virtex devices range
from 50,000 to 1,000,000- system gate densities with 200 MHz chip-to-chip
performance and offer system-level integration capabilities. The Virtex family
delivers the first fully programmable alternative to high density system-level
Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC) design.
The Virtex-E FPGA family includes a two million system gate device and supports
twice the system-gate density and 50 percent higher I/O performance than the
original Virtex FPGAs. Four family members are currently in production,
including the new XCV2000E device which began shipping in the third quarter
fiscal year 2000. The Virtex-E family will consist of 11 members, from 50,000
system gates to 3.2 million system gates. The new Virtex-E FPGAs, delivering new
performance and density attributes that were only previously addressed by ASIC
solutions, are targeted for next generation networking and telecommunication
applications.
Virtex-E FPGAs are the first programmable logic devices delivered on 0.18-micron
process technology, which was developed by Taiwan's United Microelectronics
Corporation (UMC) with our assistance. The improved process directly
contributes to a substantial performance gain. The Virtex-E family also
represents the industry's first programmable logic architecture with 210 million
transistors on a single device.
XC4000 FPGAs:
The XC4000XL family has 11 members shipping in volume ranging in density from
2,000 to 180,000 system gates. The XC4000XLA family expands on the XC4000XL
architecture with reduced power consumption and improved performance making it
the industry's highest performance 3.3-volt FPGA family. The XC4000XLA family
has eight members shipping in volume and ranges in density from 30,000 to
180,000 system gates. The XC4000XV is a 2.5-volt FPGA family that utilizes
0.25-micron technology. The family has four members with up to 500,000 system
gates.
Spartan FPGAs:
The Xilinx Spartan and SpartanXL FPGA families are derived from the XC4000
architecture. These families feature low-cost ASIC replacement with densities
ranging from 5,000 to 40,000 system gates. In January 2000, we announced the
Spartan-II family, our newest generation of high-volume FPGAs. Spartan-II
devices are designed to be low cost programmable replacements for ASICs and
application specific standard products (ASSPs). New features in the Spartan-II
family address a larger range of high-volume applications and open up new market
opportunities for programmable logic.
CPLDs:
The XC9500XL family offers in-system programmability for both 3.3-volt and
5.0-volt systems. The XC9500XV is the industry's first 2.5-volt CPLD family
with significantly reduced power consumption.
In August 1999 we acquired Philips Semiconductors' line of low-power complex
programmable logic devices (CPLDs) called the CoolRunner family of devices. We
also purchased Philips Semiconductors' XPLA Professional suite of design tools.
The CoolRunner line is the first family of CPLD products to combine very low
power with high speed, high density, and high I/O counts in a single device.
CoolRunner CPLDs also use far less dynamic power during actual operation
compared to conventional CPLDs, an important feature for today's mobile
computing applications.
Software, Cores & Support
We offer complete software design tool solutions which enable customers to
implement their design specifications into our PLDs. These software design
tools combine powerful technology with a flexible, easy to use graphical
interface to help achieve the best possible designs within each customer's
project schedule, regardless of the designer's experience level.
We offer two complementary software design tool solutions. Xilinx Foundation
Series software provides designers with a complete, ready-to-use design solution
based on industry-standard hardware description languages (HDLs) and is easy to
learn and use. For those customers new to designing with PLDs or desiring a low
cost approach, we offer this fully integrated software solution. The Alliance
Series is tailored for designers who want maximum flexibility to integrate
programmable logic design into their existing EDA environment and methodology.
With interfaces to over fifty EDA vendors, Alliance Series Software allows users
to select tools with which they are most familiar, thereby increasing their
productivity and shortening their end products' design cycle.
addition, we offer CPLD WebPACK(TM) solutions, which are a collection of free
downloadable software modules. Customers can register and download any of the
WebPACK(TM) modules to complete Xilinx XC9500 or CoolRunner Series CPLD designs.
We also offer intellectual property cores of logic for commonly used complex
functions such as digital signal processing (DSP), bus interfaces, processors
and peripheral interfaces. Using logic cores, available from Xilinx and third
party AllianceCORE partners, customers can shorten development time, reduce
design risk and obtain superior performance for their designs. Additionally,
our CORE Generator system allows customers to implement intellectual property
cores into our PLDs. It offers a simple user interface, complete cataloging of
available cores, easy selection of parameter-based cores optimized for our
FPGAs, and features an interface to third-party system level DSP design tools.
The CORE Generator is shipped with our software design tools and is also
available via our web site.
Our software design tools operate on desktop computer platforms, including
personal computers with Microsoft Windows '95, '98 and NT operating systems, and
workstations from IBM, HP and Sun Microsystems.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Our research and development activities are primarily directed towards the
design of new integrated circuits, the development of new software design tools
and cores of logic, the development of advanced semiconductor manufacturing
processes, as well as ongoing cost reductions and performance improvements in
existing products. Our primary areas of focus have been: to introduce the
industry's first programmable system integration solution (Virtex devices), a
low-cost ASIC replacement FPGA solution (Spartan devices), to extend the
performance and density range of the industry's most popular FPGA series
(XC4000XLA/XV families), to increase segment share in the CPLD market segment
(XC9500XL/XV & CoolRunner families), and release new versions of software design
tools and cores of logic.
Our research and development challenge is to continue to develop new products
that create cost-effective solutions for customers. In fiscal 2000, 1999, and
1998, our research and development expenses were $123.6 million, $90.9 million,
and $80.5 million, respectively. We expect we will continue to make substantial
investments in research and development. We believe technical leadership is
essential to our future success and we are committed to continuing a significant
level of research and development effort. However, there can be no assurance
that any of our research and development efforts will be successful, timely or
cost-effective.
MARKETING AND SALES
We sell our products through several industrial distributors: direct sales to
manufacturers by independent sales representative firms, sales through
franchised domestic distributors, and sales through foreign distributors. In
order to provide service to existing customers and reach potential customers, we
also utilize a direct sales management organization and field applications
engineers (FAEs). Our independent representatives generally address larger OEM
customers and act as a direct sales force, while distributors serve the balance
of our customer base. Our sales and customer support personnel support all
channels and consult with customers about their plans, ensuring that the right
software and devices are selected at the beginning of a customer's project.
Avnet, Inc., and VEBA distribute our products worldwide, and Nu Horizons
Electronics provides additional regional sales coverage. From time to time, we
may add or terminate distributors from our selling organization as we deem
appropriate given the level of business. We believe distributors provide a
cost-effective means of reaching a broad range of customers. Since our PLDs are
standard products, they do not present many of the inventory risks to
distributors as compared to custom gate arrays, and they simplify the
requirements for distributor technical support.
We changed our accounting method during fiscal 1999 for recognizing revenue on
all shipments to international distributors. While we previously deferred
revenue on shipments to domestic distributors until the product was sold to the
end user, we recognized revenue upon shipment to international distributors, net
of estimated reserves for returns and allowances. Following the accounting
change, revenue recognition on shipments to distributors worldwide is deferred
until the products are sold to the end customer. Distributors have certain
rights of return and price protection privileges on unsold product until the
product is sold.
BACKLOG AND CUSTOMERS
As of March 31, 2000, our backlog of purchase orders scheduled for delivery
within the next three months was $174.3 million, after adjustments for estimated
discounts. Backlog as of March 31, 1999 was $122.0 million, after adjustments
for estimated discounts. Backlog amounts for both years include orders to
distributors, which may receive price adjustments upon sale to end customers.
Also, orders constituting our current backlog are subject to changes in delivery
schedule or to cancellation at the option of the purchaser without significant
penalty. Accordingly, although useful for scheduling production, backlog as of
any particular date may not be a reliable measure of revenues for any future
period.
No end customer accounted for more than 10% of revenues in fiscal years 2000,
1999, or 1998. (See Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in
Item 8 for geographic sales information.)
WAFER FABRICATION
We do not directly manufacture processed wafers used for our products. Over the
last several years, the majority of our wafer purchases have been manufactured
by United Microelectronics Corporation, (UMC), UMC affiliated companies
including our former joint venture, USIC, Seiko Epson Corporation (Seiko), and
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacture Company (TSMC). Precise terms with respect to
the volume and timing of wafer production and the pricing of wafers produced by
the semiconductor foundries are determined by periodic negotiations between
Xilinx and these wafer foundry partners.
Our strategy is to focus our resources on creating new integrated circuits and
software design tools and on market development rather than on wafer
fabrication. We continuously evaluate opportunities to enhance foundry
relationships and/or obtain additional capacity from both our main suppliers as
well as other suppliers of leading-edge process technologies. As a result, we
have entered into agreements with UMC and Seiko as discussed below.
Xilinx, United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC) and other parties entered into
a joint venture to construct a wafer fabrication facility in Taiwan, known as
United Silicon Inc. (USIC). (See Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements in Item 8.) We made a total cumulative investment of $107.1 million
in USIC. In January 2000, our equity position in USIC was converted into shares
of UMC which are publicly traded on the Taiwan Stock Exchange. We retain
monthly guaranteed wafer capacity rights in UMC as long as we retain a
percentage of our UMC shares. (See Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements in Item 8.)
In fiscal 1997, we signed a wafer purchasing agreement with Seiko. (See Note 2
of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8.) This agreement was
amended in fiscal 1998 and provided for an advance to Seiko for $150.0 million.
In conjunction with the agreement, $60.0 million was paid in fiscal 1997 and an
additional $90.0 million was paid in fiscal 1998. Repayment of this advance is
made in the form of wafer deliveries, which began during the fourth quarter of
fiscal 1998. Specific wafer pricing is in U.S. dollars and is based upon the
prices of similar wafers manufactured by other, specifically identified,
leading-edge foundry suppliers.
SORT, ASSEMBLY AND TEST
Wafers purchased by us are sorted by the wafer foundry, independent sort
subcontractors or by us. Sorted wafers are assembled by subcontractors in
facilities in Pacific Rim countries. During the assembly process, the wafers
are separated into individual die, which are then assembled into various package
types. Following assembly, the packaged units are tested by independent test
subcontractors or by Xilinx personnel at our San Jose or Dublin, Ireland
facilities.
PATENTS AND LICENSES
Through March 31, 2000, we held over 400 issued United States patents and we
maintain an active program of filing for additional patents in the areas of
software, IC architecture and design. We intend to vigorously protect our
intellectual property. We believe that failure to enforce our patents or to
effectively protect our trade secrets could have an adverse effect on our
financial condition and results of operations. In the future, we may incur
litigation expenses to enforce our intellectual property rights against third
parties. There is no assurance that any such litigation would be successful.
(See Legal Proceedings in Item 3 and Note 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements in Item 8.)
We have acquired various software licenses that permit us to grant object code
sublicenses to our customers for certain third party software programs licensed
with our software design tools. In addition, we have licensed certain software
for internal use in product design.
EMPLOYEES
Xilinx's employee population grew 30% during the past year. As of March 31,
2000, Xilinx had 1,939 employees compared to 1,491 at the end of the prior year.
None of our employees are represented by a labor union. We have not experienced
any work stoppages and believe we maintain good employee relations.
COMPETITION
Our PLDs compete in the logic industry. The industries in which we compete are
intensely competitive and are characterized by rapid technological change,
product obsolescence and continuous price erosion. We expect increased
competition, both from our primary competitors, Altera Corporation, and Lattice
Semiconductor Corporation and from a number of new companies that may enter our
market. We believe that important competitive factors in the programmable logic
industry include:
- product pricing;
- product performance, reliability and density;
- the adaptability of products to specific applications;
- ease of use and functionality of software design tools;
- functionality of predefined cores of logic; and
- the ability to provide timely customer service and support.
Our strategy for expansion in the logic market includes continued introduction
of new product architectures which address high volume, low cost applications as
well as high performance, leading-edge density applications. In addition, we
anticipate continued price reductions proportionate with our ability to lower
the manufacturing cost for established products. However, we cannot assure that
we will be successful in achieving these strategies.
Our major sources of competition are comprised of several elements:
- providers of high density programmable logic products characterized by
FPGA-type architectures;
- providers of high volume and low cost FPGAs as programmable replacement
for ASICs and application specific standard products (ASSPs).;
- providers of high speed, low density CPLD devices;
- the manufacturers of custom gate arrays;
- providers of competitive software development tools;
- other providers of new or emerging programmable logic products.
We compete with high density programmable logic suppliers on the basis of device
performance, the ability to deliver complete solutions to customers, device
power consumption and customer support by taking advantage of the primary
characteristics of our PLD product offerings which include: flexibility, high
speed implementation, quick time-to-market and system level capabilities. We
compete with ASIC manufacturers on the basis of lower design costs, shorter
development schedules, reduced inventory risk and field upgradability. The ASIC
market segment has been declining, and ASICs are being replaced by other logic
options. The primary attributes of ASICs are high density, high speed and low
production costs in high volumes. We continue to develop lower cost
architectures intended to narrow the gap between current ASIC production costs
(in high volumes) and PLD production costs. As PLDs have increased in density
and performance and decreased in cost due to the advanced manufacturing
processes, they have become more directly competitive with ASICs. With the
introduction of our Spartan family, which is Xilinx's low cost programmable
replacement for ASICs, we seek to grow by directly competing with other
companies in the ASIC segment. Many of the companies in the ASIC segment have
substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources than Xilinx.
Consequently, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in competing
in the ASIC segment. Competition among PLD suppliers and manufacturers of new or
emerging programmable logic products is based primarily on price, performance,
design, customer support, software utility and the ability to deliver complete
solutions to customers. Some of our current or potential competitors have
substantially greater financial, manufacturing, marketing, distribution and
technical resources than we do. To the extent that our efforts to compete are
not successful, our financial condition and results of operations could be
materially adversely affected.
The benefits of programmable logic have attracted a number of companies to this
market. We recognize that different applications require different programmable
technologies, and we are developing architectures, processes and products to
meet these varying customer needs. Recognizing the increasing importance of
standard software solutions, we have developed common software design tools that
support the full range of integrated circuit products. We believe that
automation and ease of design are significant competitive factors in the PLD
segment.
Several companies, both large and small, have introduced products that compete
with ours or have announced their intention to enter the PLD segment. Some of
our competitors may possess innovative technology, which could prove superior to
our technology in certain applications. In addition, we anticipate potential
competition from suppliers of logic products based on new technologies. Some of
our current or potential competitors have substantially greater financial,
manufacturing, marketing and technical resources than we do. This additional
competition could adversely affect our financial condition and results of
operations.
We could also face competition from our licensees. Under a license from us,
Lucent Technologies has rights to manufacture and market our XC3000 FPGA
products and also employ that technology to provide additional high density FPGA
products. Seiko Epson has rights to manufacture some of our products and market
them in Japan and Europe, but is not currently doing so. We granted a license
to use certain of our patents to Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). AMD produced
certain programmable logic devices under that license through its wholly owned
subsidiary, Vantis. In June 1999, AMD sold the Vantis subsidiary to Lattice
Semiconductor Corporation.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On June 7, 1993, we filed suit against Altera Corporation (Altera) in the United
States District Court for the Northern District of California for infringement
of certain of our patents. Subsequently, Altera filed suit against Xilinx,
alleging that certain of our products infringe certain Altera patents. Fact and
expert discovery have been completed in both cases, which have been
consolidated. Both Altera and Xilinx filed motions with the Court for summary
judgement with respect to certain of the issues pending in the litigation. In
October 1999, the Court ruled on all but one of the motions. As a result of
those rulings, Altera is left with one claim against Xilinx, which remains the
subject of a Company motion for summary judgment. A ruling on this motion is
pending. The Court's rulings also dismissed certain claims by us, leaving intact
claims of infringement under two Company patents by Altera. The remaining claims
against Altera will be decided at a trial scheduled to begin in October, 2000.
If the remaining claim against Xilinx survives the motion for summary judgment,
it will be decided at a trial, which is currently scheduled to commence on June
19, 2000.
On April 20, 1995, Altera filed an additional suit against Xilinx in the Federal
District Court in Delaware, alleging that our XC5200 family infringes an Altera
patent. We answered the Delaware suit denying that the XC5200 family infringes
the patent in suit, asserting certain affirmative defenses and counterclaiming
that the Altera Max 9000 family infringes certain of our patents. The Delaware
suit was transferred to the United States District Court for the Northern
District of California.
On July 22, 1998, Altera and Joseph Ward, a former Xilinx employee, filed suit
against Xilinx in Superior Court in Santa Clara County, California, arising out
of our efforts to prevent disclosure of certain Company confidential
information. Altera's suit requests declaratory relief and claims Xilinx
engages in unfair business practices and interference with contractual
relations. On September 10, 1998 we filed cross claims against Altera and Ward
for unfair competition and breach of contract, among other claims, in the
California action. On October 20, 1998, Altera and Ward filed crossclaims
against Xilinx for malicious prosecution of civil action and defamation. On
September 15, 1999, the Court dismissed all of our claims against Altera and Mr.
Ward, finding that we were unable to show any damages we suffered as a result of
any actions by Mr. Ward. Claims against Xilinx are still pending.
The ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be determined at this time.
Management believes that it has meritorious defenses to such claims and is
defending them vigorously. The foregoing is a forward-looking statement subject
to risks and uncertainties, and the future outcome of these matters could differ
materially due to the uncertain nature of each legal proceeding and because the
lawsuits are still in the pre-trial stages.
On May 31, 2000, Altera filed an additional suit against Xilinx in the Federal
District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging that certain
Xilinx products, including our Virtex(tm) FPGAs, infringe three Altera patents.
Altera's suit requests unspecified monetary damages as well as issuance of an
injunction to prevent Xilinx from selling allegedly infringing parts. Xilinx
has not yet had the opportunity to fully review this latest suit and investigate
the facts related thereto, and therefore can make no comment as to its likely
outcome.
On July 31, 1998, the Lemelson Foundation Partnership (Lemelson) filed a lawsuit
in the United States District Court in Phoenix, Arizona against the Company and
twenty-five (25) other United States semiconductor companies for infringement of
certain of its patents. During the third quarter of fiscal 1999, we entered
into a license settlement with Lemelson. In response, Lemelson dismissed with
prejudice all claims against us.
There are no other pending legal proceedings of a material nature to which we
are a party or of which any of our property is the subject. We know of no legal
proceedings contemplated by any governmental authority or agency.

-------------- ---------- ------- -------- ------- --------
Net revenues . $1,020,993 54.2% $661,983 7.9% $613,593
</TABLE>
Xilinx's net revenue increased 54.2% in fiscal 2000 compared to fiscal 1999.
The increase was primarily due to the significant growth in XC4000XL, XC4000XLA,
XC9500, Spartan(TM), and Virtex product lines, which was partially offset by
decreased revenues in our mature XC4000 family. The 7.9% increase in fiscal
1999 over 1998 was primarily due to the penetration in high-growth end markets
attributable to the XC4000EX, XC4000XL and XC9500 product lines.
We classify our product offerings into four categories by semiconductor
manufacturing process technology. These four product categories are adjusted on
a regular basis to accommodate corresponding changes in our technology.
Advanced products include our newest technologies manufactured on 0.25-micron
and smaller processes, which include the XC4000XV, XC4000XLA, Spartan XL,
Spartan-II, Virtex, and Virtex-E product lines. Advanced products represented
26.7% and 3.1% of total revenues in fiscal 2000 and 1999. The significant
increases in revenues of advanced products were due to the introduction and
strong market acceptance of XC4000XLA, Spartan XL and Virtex products.
Mainstream products are currently manufactured on 0.35 and 0.5-micron
technologies and include the XC4000E, XC4000EX, XC4000XL, XC5200, XC9500,
XC9500XL, Spartan and CoolRunner product lines. Mainstream products represented
52.6% of total revenues in fiscal 2000 and 63.0% in fiscal 1999. Increases in
revenues of 28.7% were attributable mainly to growth in the XC4000XL, Spartan,
and XC9500 product lines, along with the acquisition of CoolRunner and
introduction of XC9500XL. Base products consist of our mature product families
that are currently manufactured on technologies of 0.6-micron and older; this
includes the XC2000, XC3000, XC3100, XC4000 and XC7000 families. Base products
represented 12.3% of total revenues in fiscal 2000, as compared to 22.2% in
fiscal 1999. Our Support products make up the remainder of our product
offerings and include serial proms, HardWire, and software. Support products
represented 8.4% and 11.7% of total revenues in fiscal 2000 and 1999,
respectively. Revenues of Base products decreased 14.5% as customers migrated
to newer product offerings while revenues of Support products increased slightly
due to increased revenues from serial proms. No end customer accounted for more
than 10% of revenues in fiscal 2000, 1999 or 1998. The revenue by technology
for the years ended March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 was as follows:

</TABLE>
In order to compete effectively, we pass on to customers manufacturing cost
reductions by reducing prices to the extent that we can maintain acceptable
returns. Price erosion has been common in the semiconductor industry, as
advances in both architecture and manufacturing process technology have
permitted continual reductions in unit cost. We have historically been able to
offset much of the revenue declines of our mature technologies with increased
revenues from newer technologies, although no assurance can be given that we can
continue to do so in the future.
International revenues represented approximately 33%, 32%, and 38% of total
revenues for fiscal years 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. International
revenues are derived from customers in Europe, Japan and Asia Pacific/Rest of
World which represented approximately 20%, 8%, and 5% of our worldwide revenues,
respectively, in fiscal 2000 as compared to approximately 21%, 7% and 4% in
fiscal 1999. In fiscal 1998, Europe, Japan and Asia Pacific/Rest of World
represented approximately 22%, 10% and 5% of worldwide revenues, respectively.
Europe, Japan and Asia Pacific/Rest of World experienced significant revenue
growth in fiscal 2000 as compared to fiscal 1999 due to wider adoption of our
new products in consumer and telecommunication applications and the economic
recovery in Japan and the Asia Pacific region. Japan and Asia Pacific/Rest of
World experienced revenue declines in fiscal 1999 as compared to 1998 primarily
due to a weak economic environment in those regions during fiscal 1999. (See
Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for revenue by geography
for the three years ended March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998.)
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999, we changed our accounting method for
recognizing revenue on all shipments to international distributors. The change
was made retroactive to the beginning of fiscal 1999. While we previously
deferred revenue on shipments to domestic distributors until the products were
sold to the end user, we recognized revenue upon shipment to international
distributors, net of appropriate reserves for returns and allowances. Following
the accounting change, revenue recognition on shipments to distributors
worldwide is deferred until the products are sold to the end customer. We
believe that deferral of revenue on shipments to distributors until the product
is shipped by the distributor to an end customer is a more meaningful
measurement of results of operations as it better conforms to the substance of
the transaction considering the changing business environment in the
international marketplace, is consistent with industry practice, and
accordingly, it will focus us better on end customer sales; therefore it is a
preferable method of accounting. The cumulative effect of the change in
accounting method for prior years was a charge of $26.6 million, net of $12.0
million in taxes, or $0.09 net income per diluted share.
GROSS MARGIN

Percentage of revenue. 62.4% 62.0% 62.4%
</TABLE>
During fiscal 2000, our gross margin percentage increased slightly from the
prior year as efficiencies from increased production volumes resulted in
decreased costs as a percentage of revenue. In fiscal 1999, our gross margin
percentage declined from fiscal 1998 as a result of a non-recurring royalty
payment made pursuant to a license settlement with Lemelson Foundation
Partnership which was partially offset by lower wafer prices from wafer
suppliers, manufacturing process technology improvements, and improved yields
that offset selling price reductions. (See Note 12 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.) We recognize that ongoing price reductions for our
integrated circuits are a significant element in expanding the demand for our
products. Management believes that a gross margin objective of approximately
62% of revenues is consistent with expanding demand while realizing acceptable
returns, although there can be no assurance that future gross margins can remain
in this range.

Percentage of revenue. 12.1% 13.7% 13.1%
</TABLE>
We increased our expenditures in research and development as we have done each
year during our sixteen-year history. The increase in research and development
expenditures from fiscal 1999 to 2000 was due to designing and developing new
product architectures of complex, high density devices including wafer
purchases, development of advanced process technologies using 0.22-micron and
0.18-micron technologies, software development, increased labor-related costs,
and testing of new products, along with increased costs associated with the
acquisition of the CoolRunner CPLD business. (See Note 13 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.) The increase in research and development
expenses from fiscal 1998 to 1999 was due to increased labor-related expenses
along with increased costs associated with the assets purchased from MI
Acquisition LLP. (See Note 13 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.)
We remain committed to a significant level of research and development effort in
order to maintain our technology leadership in the programmable logic
marketplace. Through March 31, 2000, we have received over 400 issued U.S.
patents and we maintain an active program of filing for additional patents in
the areas of IC architecture, circuit design , and software.
SALES, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

Percentage of revenue. 18.3% 20.3% 21.0%
</TABLE>
The 39.0% increase in sales, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2000
was primarily attributable to increased personnel and facilities expenses,
increased marketing expenses, increased outside sales commissions and sales
incentives on higher revenues. Sales, general and administrative expenses
increased 4.4% in fiscal 1999 over 1998 due to increased marketing expenses and
increased sales commissions on higher revenues from U.S. distributors along with
increased personnel costs. Although total sales, general and administrative
expenses increased, they decreased as a percent of revenue because of strong
revenue growth and improved operational efficiencies. We remain committed to
controlling administrative expenses. However, the timing and extent of future
legal costs associated with the ongoing enforcement of our intellectual property
rights are not readily predictable and may significantly increase in the future.
CAPITAL GAIN FROM MERGER OF USIC WITH UMC
In January 2000, our equity position in United Silicon Inc. (USIC) was converted
into shares of UMC which are publicly traded on the Taiwan Stock Exchange. We
recognized a gain of $674.7 million ($398.1 million net of taxes) in our fiscal
2000 fourth quarter as a result of the merger of USIC with UMC. The gain
represents the appreciation of our investment in USIC. As a result of this
merger, we own approximately 222 million UMC shares, which represent
approximately 2% of the combined UMC Group. We retain equivalent wafer capacity
rights in UMC as we previously had in USIC, as long as we retain a percentage of
our shares of UMC common stock. If our holdings fall below that percentage, our
wafer capacity rights would be decreased prorated by the UMC shares we hold.
Due to restrictions imposed by UMC and the Taiwan Stock Exchange, the majority
of our UMC shares may not be sold until July 2000. These regulatory
restrictions will gradually expire between July 2000 and January 2004.

Percentage of revenue. 2.7% 1.1% 1.1%
</TABLE>
We earn interest income on our cash, cash equivalents and short-term and
long-term investments. The amount of interest earned is a function of the
balance of cash invested as well as prevailing interest rates. In fiscal 1999
and 1998, we incurred interest expense on the $250.0 million 5 1/4 % convertible
subordinated notes, which were fully converted in February 1999.
Average cash and investment balances increased 58% from the prior year while
interest rates remained relatively flat from fiscal 1999 to fiscal 2000. The
268% increase in interest and other income in fiscal 2000 from fiscal 1999 was
primarily due to the $11.2 million decrease in interest expense related to the
redemption of the convertible notes in February 1999 and increased interest
income on higher average cash and investment balances. In 1999, average cash
and investment balances decreased slightly from the prior year while interest
rates increased moderately, keeping interest income constant from fiscal 1998 to
fiscal 1999. The 10.4% increase in interest and other income in fiscal 1999 was
primarily due to the decrease in interest expense related to the redemption of
the convertible notes offset partially by an increase in foreign currency
exchange losses. The amount of net interest and other income in the future will
continue to be impacted by the level of our average cash and investment balance,
prevailing interest rates, the balances of any debt outstanding, and foreign
currency exchange rates.

</TABLE>
* The total provision for taxes on income in fiscal 2000 was $378.0 million,
including $276.6 million in capital gains tax on the UMC merger. The combined
rate for the fiscal year 2000 was 36.9%.
The tax rates in fiscal 2000 and 1999 were lower than fiscal 1998 because of the
R&D tax credit and increased profits from foreign operations where the tax rate
is lower than the U.S. rate.
JOINT VENTURE EQUITY CONVERTED TO UMC SHARES
We recorded our proportional ownership of the net income (loss) of USIC, a wafer
fabrication joint venture located in Taiwan, as joint venture equity income
(loss) prior to the conversion of USIC shares to UMC shares. In fiscal 2000,
net gains were generated as USIC began to realize volume wafer production and
shipments. The fiscal 1999 net loss was a result of the continued ramp up in
production of the wafer fabrication facility. Net income in fiscal 1998 was
primarily attributable to foreign exchange gains as well as interest earned on
the USIC investment portfolio.
As a result of the conversion of our equity position in USIC to shares of UMC in
January 2000, as discussed above, we will no longer record joint venture equity
income.
INFLATION
To date, the effects of inflation upon our financial results have not been
significant. We cannot assure, however, inflation will not affect us materially
in the future.
FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our financial condition as of March 31, 2000 continued to be strong with total
current assets exceeding total current liabilities by 4.3 times. At March 31,
1999, total current assets exceeded total current liabilities by 3.9 times. We
have used a combination of equity and debt financing and cash flow from
operations to support on-going business activities, secure acquisitions and
investments in complementary technologies, obtain facilities and capital
equipment, and finance inventory and accounts receivable. Additionally, our
investment in UMC is available for future sale, subject to restrictions.
CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS
Our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments increased by $205.3
million in fiscal 2000 as we continued to generate positive cash flows from
operations. Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments represented 25.9%
of total assets at March 31, 2000. During fiscal 2000, we generated cash flow
of $341.1 million from operating activities and $89.1 million from financing
activities, offset by $398.2 million of cash used for investing activities.
Investing activities during fiscal 2000 included $231.7 million in net purchases
of investments, $143.7 million expenditures for property, plant and equipment,
and $22.8 million for the purchase of Philips' CPLD business. Financing
activities during 2000 included $84.3 million in proceeds from sales of common
stock under employee option and stock purchase plans and $10.0 million from
sales of put warrants partially offset by $5.3 million of treasury stock
acquisitions.
RECEIVABLES
Receivables increased 103% from $66.5 million at the end of fiscal 1999 to
$135.0 million at the end of fiscal 2000. This increase was primarily
attributable to an increased level of shipments.
INVENTORIES
Inventories increased 152% from $52.0 million at March 1999 to $131.3 million at
March 2000. Inventory levels increased during fiscal 2000 due to increased
inventory requirements to support revenue growth and a planned build up of
inventory for newer products. Additionally, inventory levels, measured as days
of sales, declined at distributors compared to the prior fiscal year end due to
the timing of shipments. We attempt to maintain sufficient levels of inventory
in various product, package and speed configurations to meet anticipated
customer demand. On the other hand, we also wish to minimize the handling costs
associated with maintaining higher inventory levels and to fully realize the
opportunities for cost reductions associated with architecture and manufacturing
process advancements. We continually strive to balance these two objectives to
provide excellent customer response at a competitive cost.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
During 2000, we invested $143.7 million in property and equipment, as compared
to $40.9 million in 1999. Primary investments in fiscal 2000 were for corporate
building and land purchases, software development tools and semiconductor design
tools, and test and manufacturing equipment at each of our manufacturing and
test locations.
CURRENT LIABILITIES
Current liabilities increased from $167.2 million at the end of fiscal 1999 to
$244.7 million at the end of fiscal 2000. The increase was primarily
attributable to the increase in accounts payable and deferred income on
shipments to distributors. The increase in accounts payable was a result of
business expansion and the increase in deferred income on shipments to
distributors was due to increased inventory build up at distributors in response
to higher customer demand.
LONG-TERM DEBT AND LINES OF CREDIT
In fiscal 1999, we converted in full $250.0 million of 5 1/4% Convertible
Subordinated Notes due 2002 for a total of 19.6 million shares of common stock
at a price of $12.75 per share. We have credit facilities for up to $46.2
million of which $6.2 million is intended to meet occasional working capital
requirements for our Ireland manufacturing facility. At March 31, 2000 and
1999, no borrowings were outstanding under the lines of credit. (See Note 5 of
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.)
STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Stockholders' equity grew by 202% in fiscal 2000 to $1,776.7 million. The
increase of $897.3 million was attributable to $652.5 million in net income,
$196.5 million related to the issuance of common stock from employee stock plans
and the tax benefit from stock options, $43.6 million from unrealized gains on
available-for-sale securities and our cumulative translation adjustment, and
$10.0 million related to the sale of put warrants partially offset by the $5.3
million used to acquire treasury stock.
SUMMARY OF LIQUIDITY
We anticipate that existing sources of liquidity and cash flow from operations
will be sufficient to satisfy our cash needs for the foreseeable future.
However, the risk factors discussed below could affect our cash positions
adversely. We will continue to evaluate opportunities for investments to obtain
additional wafer capacity, procurement of additional capital equipment and
facilities, development of new products, and potential acquisitions of
businesses, products or technologies that would complement our businesses. We
may use available cash or other sources of funding for such purposes.
FACTORS AFFECTING FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS
----------------------------------------------
The semiconductor industry is characterized by rapid technological change,
intense competition and cyclical market patterns. Cyclical market patterns are
characterized by several factors, including:
- reduced product demand;
- limited visibility of demand for products beyond three months;
- accelerated erosion of average selling prices; and
- tight capacity availability.
Our results of operations are affected by several factors. These factors include
general economic conditions, conditions specific to technology companies and to
the semiconductor industry in particular, decreases in average selling prices
over the life of particular products and the timing of new product introductions
(by us, our competitors and others.) In addition, our results of operations are
affected by the ability to manufacture sufficient quantities of a given product
in a timely manner, the timely implementation of new manufacturing technologies,
the ability to safeguard patents and intellectual property from competitors, the
impact of new technologies which result in rapid escalation of demand for some
products in the face of equally steep declines in demand for others, and the
inability to predict the success of our customers' products in their markets.
Market demand for our products, particularly for those most recently introduced,
can be difficult to predict, especially in light of customers' demands to
shorten product lead times and minimize inventory levels. Unpredictable market
demand could lead to revenue volatility if we were unable to provide sufficient
quantities of specified products. In addition, any difficulty in achieving
targeted wafer production yields could adversely affect our financial condition
and results of operations. We attempt to identify changes in market conditions
as soon as possible; however, the dynamics of the market make prediction of and
timely reaction to such events difficult. Due to these and other factors, our
past results, including those described in this report, are much less reliable
predictors of the future than with companies in many older, more stable and less
dynamic industries. Based on the factors noted herein, we may experience
substantial period-to-period fluctuations in future operating results.
Our future success depends in a large part on the continued service of our key
technical, sales, marketing and management personnel and on our ability to
continue to attract and retain qualified employees. Particularly important are
those highly skilled design, process, software and test engineers involved in
the manufacture of existing products and the development of new products and
processes. The competition for such personnel is intense, and the loss of key
employees could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and
results of operations.
Sales and operations outside of the United States subject us to the risks
associated with conducting business in foreign economic and regulatory
environments. Our financial condition and results of operations could be
adversely affected by unfavorable economic conditions in countries in which we
do significant business and by changes in foreign currency exchange rates
affecting those countries. For example, we have sales and operations in Asia
Pacific and Japan. Past economic weakness in these markets adversely affected
revenues, and such conditions may occur in the future. Customers may face
reduced access to capital and exchange rate fluctuations may adversely affect
their ability to purchase our products. In addition, our ability to sell at
competitive prices may be diminished. Currency instability may increase credit
risks as the weak currencies may impair our customers' ability to repay existing
obligations. Any or all of these factors could adversely affect our financial
condition and results of operations in the near future.
Our financial condition and results of operations are becoming increasingly
dependent on the global economy. Any instability in worldwide economic
environments could lead to a contraction of capital spending by our customers.
Additional risks to us include government regulation of exports, imposition of
tariffs and other potential trade barriers, reduced protection for intellectual
property rights in some countries and generally longer receivable collection
periods. Moreover, our financial condition and results of operations could be
affected in the event of political conflicts in Taiwan where our main foundry
partner, UMC, is located.
Our business is also subject to the risks associated with the imposition of
legislation and regulations relating specifically to the import or export of
semiconductor products. We cannot predict whether quotas, duties, taxes or
other charges or restrictions will be imposed by the United States or other
countries upon the import or export of our products in the future or what
effect, if any, such actions would have on our financial condition and results
of operations.
We do not directly manufacture our silicon wafers. Presently, all of our wafers
are manufactured by our foundry partners in Taiwan by UMC and in Japan by Seiko.
We depend on our foundry partners to deliver reliable silicon wafers, with
acceptable yields, in a timely manner. If our foundry partners are unable to
produce and deliver silicon wafers that meet our specifications, including
acceptable yields, our results of operation could be adversely affected.
Our foundry partners in Taiwan and Japan and many of our operations in
California are centered in areas that have been seismically active in the recent
past. Should there be a major earthquake in our operating locations in the
future, our operations, including our manufacturing activities, may be
disrupted. This type of disruption could result in our inability to ship
products in a timely manner, thereby materially adversely affecting our
financial condition and results of operations.
The securities of many high technology companies have historically been subject
to extreme price and volume fluctuations, which may adversely affect the market
price of our common stock.
DEPENDENCE UPON INDEPENDENT MANUFACTURERS AND SUBCONTRACTORS
We do not manufacture the semiconductor wafers used for our products. During
the past several years, most of our wafers have been manufactured by UMC and
Seiko, with recent wafers also manufactured by USIC until its merger into UMC.
We are dependent upon these suppliers and others to produce wafers with
competitive performance and cost attributes which include transitioning to
advanced manufacturing process technologies, producing wafers at acceptable
yields and delivering them in a timely manner. While the timeliness, yield and
quality of wafer deliveries have met our requirements to date, we cannot
guarantee that our wafer suppliers will not experience future manufacturing
problems, including delays in the realization of advanced manufacturing process
technologies. Additionally, disruption of operations at these foundries for any
reason, including natural disasters such as fires, floods, or earthquakes, as
well as disruptions in access to adequate supplies of electricity, natural gas
or water could cause delays in shipments of our products, and could have a
material adverse effect on our results of operations. We are also dependent on
subcontractors to provide semiconductor assembly services. Any prolonged
inability to obtain wafers or assembly services with competitive performance and
cost attributes, adequate yields or timely delivery, or any other circumstance
that would require us to seek alternative sources of supply, could delay
shipments and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and
results of operations.
Our growth will depend in large part upon our ability to obtain additional wafer
fabrication capacity and assembly services from suppliers that are cost
competitive. We consider various alternatives in order to secure additional
wafer capacity. These alternatives include, without limitation, equity
investments in, or loans, deposits, or other financial commitments to
independent wafer manufacturers. We also consider the use of contracts which
commit us to purchase specified quantities of wafers over extended periods. We
are currently able to obtain wafers from existing suppliers in a timely manner.
However, at times we have been unable, and may in the future be unable, to fully
satisfy customer demand because of production constraints, including the ability
of suppliers and subcontractors to provide materials and services to satisfy
customer delivery dates, as well as our ability to process products for
shipment. In addition, a significant increase in general industry demand or any
interruption of supply could reduce our supply of wafers or increase our cost of
such wafers. These events could have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition and results of operations.
DEPENDENCE ON NEW PRODUCTS
Our success depends in large part on our ability to develop and introduce new
products which address customer requirements and compete effectively on the
basis of price, density, functionality and performance. The success of new
product introductions is dependent upon several factors, including:
- timely completion of new product designs;
- ability to utilize advanced manufacturing process technologies;
- achieving acceptable yields;
- availability of supporting software design tools;
- utilization of predefined cores of logic;
- market acceptance; and
- successful deployment of systems by our customers.
We cannot assure that our product development efforts will be successful or that
our new products will achieve market acceptance. Revenues relating to our
mature products are expected to decline in the future. As a result, we will be
increasingly dependent on revenues derived from newer products along with cost
reductions on current products. We rely primarily on obtaining yield
improvements and corresponding cost reductions in the manufacture of existing
products and on introducing new products which incorporate advanced features and
other price/performance factors that enable us to increase revenues while
maintaining consistent margins. To the extent that such cost reductions and new
product introductions do not occur in a timely manner, or to the extent that our
products do not achieve market acceptance at prices with higher margins, our
financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely
affected.
COMPETITION
See "competition" discussed in Item 1.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
We rely upon patent, trademark, trade secret and copyright law to protect our
intellectual property. We cannot assure that such intellectual property rights
can be successfully asserted in the future or will not be invalidated,
circumvented or challenged. From time to time, third parties, including our
competitors, have asserted patent, copyright and other intellectual property
rights to technologies that are important to us. We cannot assure that third
parties will not assert infringement claims against us in the future, that
assertions by third parties will not result in costly litigation or that we
would prevail in such litigation or be able to license any valid and infringed
patents from third parties on commercially reasonable terms. Litigation,
regardless of its outcome, could result in substantial costs and diversion of
our resources. Any infringement claim or other litigation against us or by us
could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of
operations. (See Part II - Other Information, Item 1 - Legal Proceedings for a
discussion of litigation between Xilinx and Altera Corporation.)
EURO CURRENCY
Beginning in 1999, 11 member countries of the European Union established fixed
conversion rates between their existing sovereign currencies and adopted the
Euro as their common legal currency. During the three-year transition, the Euro
will be available for non-cash transactions and legacy currencies will remain
legal tender. We are continuing to assess the Euro's impact on our business.
We are reviewing the ability of our accounting and information systems to handle
the conversion, the ability of foreign banks to report on dual currencies, the
legal and contractual implications of agreements, as well as reviewing our
pricing strategies. We expect that any additional modifications to our
operations and systems will be completed on a timely basis and do not believe
the conversion will have a material adverse impact on our operations. However,
we cannot assure that we will be able to successfully modify all systems and
contracts to comply with Euro requirements.
LITIGATION
We are currently engaged in several legal matters. (See Legal Proceedings in
Item 3 and Note 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8.)
ITEM 7A. MARKET RATE RISKS
Interest Rate Risk - Our exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to our
investment portfolio. (See Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.) Our primary aim with our investment portfolio is to invest
available cash while preserving principal and meeting liquidity needs. The
portfolio includes tax-advantaged municipal bonds, tax-advantaged auction rate
preferred municipal bonds, commercial paper, and U.S. Treasury securities. In
accordance with our investment policy, we place investments with high credit
quality issuers and limit the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer.
These securities are subject to interest rate risk and will decrease in value if
market interest rates increase. A hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates
would result in a $2.8 million and $1.5 million (less than 0.3% for both years)
decrease in the fair value of our available-for-sale securities as of the end of
fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively. In addition, we have historically had the
ability and have the intent to hold our securities until maturity and therefore,
do not expect to recognize an adverse impact on income or cash flows, although
there can be no assurance of this.
Foreign currency risk - We use forward currency exchange contracts to reduce
financial market risks. Our sales to Japanese customers are denominated in yen
while our purchases of processed silicon wafers from Japanese foundries are
primarily denominated in U.S. dollars. Gains and losses on foreign currency
forward contracts that are designated and effective as hedges of anticipated
transactions, for which a firm commitment has been attained, are deferred and
included in the basis of the transaction in the same period that the underlying
transactions are settled. Gains and losses on any instruments not meeting the
above criteria would be recognized in income in the current period. A 15%
adverse change in yen exchange rates, based on historical average rate
fluctuations, would have had approximately a 1.0% adverse impact on revenue for
fiscal years 2000, 1999 and 1998. In fiscal 2000, we have also begun to share
the yen exchange rate risk with some of our Japanese customers through risk
sharing agreements. As we will continue to have a net yen exposure in the near
future, we will continue to mitigate the exposure through yen hedging contracts.
However, no currency forward contracts were outstanding as of March 31, 2000.
Our investments in several subsidiaries and in the UMC securities are recorded
in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As these foreign currency denominated
investments are translated at each month end during consolidation, fluctuations
of exchange rates between the foreign currency and the U.S. dollar increase or
decrease the value of those investments. If permanent changes occur in exchange
rates after an investment is made, the investment's value will increase or
decrease accordingly. These fluctuations are recorded within stockholders'
equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Also, as our
subsidiaries maintain investments denominated in other than local currencies,
exchange rate fluctuations will occur.

XILINX, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Xilinx designs, develops and markets complete programmable logic solutions,
including advanced integrated circuits, software design tools, predefined system
functions delivered as cores of logic and field engineering support. The wafers
used to manufacture our products are obtained from independent wafer
manufacturers located in Taiwan and Japan. We are dependent upon these
manufacturers to produce and deliver wafers on a timely basis. We are also
dependent on subcontractors, located in the Asia Pacific region, to provide
semiconductor assembly services. Xilinx is a global company with manufacturing
and test facilities in the United States and Ireland and sales offices
throughout the world. We derive approximately one-third of our revenues from
international sales, primarily in Europe and Japan.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND CONCENTRATIONS OF RISK
Basis of presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Xilinx and our wholly owned subsidiaries after elimination of all intercompany
transactions. Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest March 31. For ease
of presentation, March 31 has been utilized as the fiscal year-end for all
financial statement captions. Fiscal 2000 and 1998 were 52-week years ended on
April 1, 2000 and March 28, 1998, respectively. Fiscal 1999 was a 53-week year
ended on April 3, 1999.
Certain amounts from the prior years have been reclassified to conform to the
current year presentation.
Cash equivalents and investments
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit with banks and investments
in money market instruments and U.S. Treasury notes with minimal interest rate
risk and original maturities of 90 days or less when acquired. Short-term
investments consist of tax-advantaged municipal bonds, commercial papers and
tax-advantaged auction rate preferred municipal bonds with maturities greater
than 90 days but less than one year from the balance sheet date. Restricted
investments consisted of certificates of deposit held as collateral relating to
leases for our facilities. In December 1999, we exercised our option to
purchase three buildings previously leased at our San Jose corporate facility.
The restricted investment of $34.4 million was used to purchase the buildings.
(See Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.) Long-term
investments consist of U.S. Treasury notes, government agency bonds and
tax-advantaged municipal bonds with maturities greater than one year, unless
funds are specifically identified for current operations. We invest our cash,
cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments through various banks and
investment banking institutions. This diversification of risk is consistent
with our policy to maintain liquidity and ensure the collectibility of
principal.
Management classifies investments as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity at
the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designation at each balance sheet
date, although classification is not generally changed. Securities are
classified as held-to-maturity when we have the positive intent and the ability
to hold the securities until maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are carried
at cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to
maturity. Such amortization, as well as any interest on the securities, is
included in interest income. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair
value with the unrealized gains or losses, net of tax, included as a component
of accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders' equity. Realized
gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary on
available-for-sale securities are included in other income. The fair values for
marketable debt and equity securities are based on quoted market prices. The
cost of securities matured or sold is based on the specific identification
method.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market
(estimated net realizable value) and are comprised of the following at March 31,
2000 and 1999:

</TABLE>
Advances for wafer purchases
In fiscal 1997, we signed an agreement with Seiko Epson, a primary wafer
supplier. This agreement was amended in fiscal 1998 providing for an advance to
Seiko Epson of $150.0 million. In conjunction with the agreement, $60.0 million
was paid in fiscal 1997 and an additional $90.0 million was paid in fiscal 1998.
Repayment of this advance is made in the form of wafer deliveries, which began
during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998. The advance payment provision also
provides for interest to be paid to us in the form of free wafers. Related
interest income has been accrued and the accrued balance is offset as free
wafers are received. Through March 31, 2000, we have received $134.3 million in
wafers against this advance, of which $6.8 million was in the form of free
wafers. Specific wafer pricing is in U.S. dollars and is based upon foundries
with comparable technology, products and volume, and prices quoted by specific
research firms for foundry prices for similar wafers.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation for financial
reporting purposes is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets of three to five years for machinery, equipment,
furniture and fixtures and up to thirty years for buildings. Depreciation
expenses totaled $33.3 million, $27.5 million and $28.0 million for fiscal year
2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue from product sales upon transfer of title to OEMs and end
users. Reserves for sales returns and allowances are recorded at the time of
shipment. As further explained in Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements, commencing in fiscal 1999, revenue on shipments to all distributors
is deferred until products are sold by the distributors to end users. Prior to
fiscal 1999, revenue on shipments to domestic distributors was deferred until
resale to end users because arrangements with these distributors included
returns and price protection privileges which could not be reasonably estimated.
Revenue on all shipments to international distributors was recognized upon
shipment to the distributor, with appropriate provision of reserves for returns
and allowances.
Foreign currency translation
The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for our Ireland manufacturing
facility. Assets and liabilities that are not denominated in the functional
currency are remeasured into U.S. dollars, and the resulting gains or losses are
included in "Interest income and other". The functional currency is the local
currency for each of our other foreign subsidiaries. Assets and liabilities are
translated at month-end exchange rates, and statements of operations are
translated at the average exchange rates during the year. Exchange gains or
losses arising from translation of foreign currency denominated assets and
liabilities are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive
income in stockholders' equity.
Derivative financial instruments
As part of our ongoing asset and liability management activities, we
periodically enter into certain derivative financial arrangements to reduce
financial market risks. These instruments are used to hedge foreign currency,
equity and interest rate market exposures of underlying assets and liabilities.
We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
We use forward currency exchange contracts to reduce financial market risks.
Our sales to Japanese customers are denominated in yen while our purchases of
processed silicon wafers from Japanese foundries are primarily denominated in
U.S. dollars. Gains and losses on foreign currency forward contracts that are
designated and effective as hedges of anticipated transactions, for which a firm
commitment has been attained, are deferred and included in the basis of the
transaction in the same period that the underlying transactions are settled.
Gains and losses on any instruments not meeting the above criteria would be
recognized in income in the current period. No currency forward contracts were
outstanding as of March 31, 2000.
In fiscal 1999, our two and a half year interest rate swap agreement terminated.
The interest rate swap agreement was in place in order to mitigate the interest
rate risks whereby the long-term debt fixed interest rate liability was matched
against our short-term variable interest rate assets. The liability interest
rate swap agreement involved the exchange of fixed interest rate payments for
variable interest rate payments over the life of the agreement without an
exchange of the notional amount. The differential to be paid or received as the
variable interest rate changes was accrued and recognized as interest expense.
The related amounts payable or receivable from the third party was included in
other liabilities or assets. For the period of time the swap was outstanding,
the fair value of the swap agreement and changes in the fair value as a result
of changes in market interest rates were not material. (See Note 5 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.)
Employee stock plans
We account for our stock option and employee stock purchase plans in accordance
with provisions of the Accounting Principles Board's Opinion No. 25 (APB 25),
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." In addition, we disclose pro forma
information related to our stock plans according to Financial Accounting
Standards Board's Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation"
(FASB 123). (See Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.)
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in United States requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of net revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Such estimates relate to the useful lives of fixed assets and intangible assets,
allowances for doubtful accounts, pricing adjustments, customer returns,
international distributor sell-through, potential reserves relating to
litigation matters as well as other accruals or reserves. Actual results may
differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the
financial statements.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, (FASB 133), "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities," which requires adoption in fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000 while earlier adoption is permitted at the
beginning of any fiscal quarter. We are required to adopt by fiscal 2002. The
effect of adopting the Standard is currently being evaluated but is not expected
to have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations or financial
position. FASB 133 will require us to recognize all derivatives on the balance
sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair
value through income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of
the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives will either be offset
against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm
commitments through earnings or recognized in accumulated other comprehensive
income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective
portion, if any, of a derivative's change in fair value will be immediately
recognized in earnings.
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued SEC Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (SAB 101), "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements." SAB 101 summarizes certain of the SEC's views in applying
generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial
statements. We have completed our review of SAB 101 and believe that our
current revenue recognition policy is consistent with the guidance of SAB 101.
Concentrations of credit risk
We attempt to mitigate the concentration of credit risk in our trade receivables
with respect to the high-technology industry with our credit evaluation process,
relatively short collection terms, distributor agreements, sales among various
end-user applications throughout the high-technology market and the geographical
dispersion of sales. We generally do not require collateral. Bad debt
write-offs have been insignificant for all years presented.
Concentration of other risks
The semiconductor industry is characterized by rapid technological change,
intense competitive pressure and cyclical market patterns. Our results of
operations are affected by a wide variety of factors, including general economic
conditions, conditions specifically relating to technology companies and the
semiconductor industry, decreases in average selling prices over the life of any
particular product, the timing of new product introductions (by us, our
competitors and others), the ability to manufacture sufficient quantities of a
given product in a timely manner, the timely implementation of new manufacturing
process technologies, the ability to safeguard patents and intellectual property
from competitors, and the impact of new technologies resulting in rapid
escalation of demand for some products in the face of equally steep decline in
demand for others. Based on the factors noted herein, we may experience
substantial period-to-period fluctuations in future operating results.
NOTE 3. ACCOUNTING CHANGE - DEFERRED REVENUE RECOGNITION ON SALES TO
INTERNATIONAL DISTRIBUTORS
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999, we changed our accounting method for
recognizing revenue on all shipments to international distributors. The change
was made retroactive to the beginning of fiscal 1999. While we previously
deferred revenue on shipments to domestic distributors until the products were
sold to the end user, we recognized revenue upon shipment to international
distributors, net of appropriate reserves for returns and allowances. Following
the accounting change, revenue recognition on shipments to distributors
worldwide is deferred until the products are sold to the end customer. We
believe that deferral of revenue on shipments to distributors until the product
is shipped by the distributor to an end customer is a more meaningful
measurement of results of operations as it better conforms to the substance of
the transaction considering the changing business environment in the
international marketplace, and is consistent with industry practice. The
cumulative effect of the change in accounting method for prior years was a
charge of $26.6 million, net of $12.0 million in taxes, or $0.09 net income per
diluted share.
NOTE 4. JOINT VENTURE
Xilinx, United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC) and other parties entered into
a joint venture to construct a wafer fabrication facility in Taiwan, known as
United Silicon Inc. (USIC). We had a 20% equity ownership in USIC and had the
right to receive up to 31.25% of the wafer capacity from this facility. We
accounted for this investment using the equity method of accounting with a
one-month lag in recording our share of results for the entity. In fiscal 2000
net gains were generated as USIC entered volume wafer production and shipment,
while the fiscal 1999 net loss was a result of the continued ramp up in
production of the wafer fabrication facility. The fiscal 1998 net income
resulted primarily from favorable foreign currency exchange gains as well as
interest earned on the USIC investment portfolio. Through the second quarter of
fiscal 1998, equity income was immaterial and remained classified in "Interest
income and other."
In January 2000, our equity position in USIC was converted into shares of UMC
which are publicly traded on the Taiwan Stock Exchange. We recognized a gain of
$674.7 million ($398.1 million net of taxes) in our fiscal 2000 fourth quarter
as a result of the merger of USIC with UMC. The gain represents the
appreciation of our investment in USIC. As a result of this merger, we own
approximately 222 million shares of UMC common stock, which represent
approximately 2% of the combined UMC Group. We retain equivalent wafer capacity
rights in UMC as we previously had in USIC, as long as we retain a
percentage of our shares of UMC common stock. If our holdings fall below this
level, our wafer capacity rights would be decreased prorated by the UMC shares
we hold.
Due to restrictions imposed by UMC and the Taiwan Stock Exchange, the majority
of our UMC shares may not be sold until July 2000. These regulatory
restrictions will gradually expire between July 2000 and January 2004. At March
31, 2000, the restricted portion of our UMC investment totaled $396.5 million.

At March 31, 1999, held to maturity investments totaled $34.4 million held in a
restricted certificate of deposit for which cost approximated market value. In
fiscal 2000, we sold the held-to-maturity investment of $34.4 million, resulting
in no gain or loss, in order to purchase three buildings at our San Jose
corporate facility. No investments were held to maturity as of March 31, 2000.
Derivatives
In fiscal 2000, we utilized forward currency contracts to protect against the
net yen exposure created when we began purchasing most of our wafers from
Japanese suppliers in U.S. dollars yet continued to invoice Japanese customers
in yen. Realized losses of $ 0.5 million in fiscal 2000 and $2.3 million in
fiscal 1999 were offset against revenue when there was a firm commitment,
otherwise they were included in "Interest income and other. " At March 31, 2000
and 1999, no commitments under foreign currency forward or option contracts were
outstanding.
In fiscal 1997, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a third
party in order to reduce risk related to movements in interest rates. Under the
agreement, we effectively converted the fixed rate interest payments related to
$125.0 million of our convertible long-term debt to variable rate interest
payments without the exchange of the underlying principal amounts. We received
fixed interest rate payments (equal to 5.935%) from the third party and were
obligated to make variable rate payments (equal to the three month Libor rate)
to the third party during the term of the agreement. In fiscal 1999, the
interest rate swap agreement terminated, resulting in an immaterial gain. For
the period of time the swap was outstanding, the fair value of the swap
agreement and changes in the fair value as a result of changes in market
interest rates were not material.
In fiscal 1997, we entered into foreign exchange forward contracts to minimize
the impact of future exchange fluctuations on the U.S. dollar cost of investing
in the USIC joint venture. The contracts required us to exchange U.S. dollars
for New Taiwan dollars and matured within one year. The contracts were
accounted for as a hedge of an identifiable foreign currency commitment.
Lines of Credit
We have $40 million available under a syndicated bank revolving credit line
agreement, which expires in March 2001. Under this agreement, borrowings bear
interest at the prime rate or 0.625% over the Libor rate. Additionally, our
Ireland manufacturing facility has an additional $6.2 million available under a
multicurrency credit line, which expires in November 2000. Under this
agreement, borrowings bear interest at the bank's prime rate or 0.75% over the
Euribor rate. At March 31, 2000, no borrowings were outstanding under any
credit lines. We are in full compliance with the agreement's required covenants
and financial ratios. The agreements prohibit the payment of cash dividends
without prior bank approval.
In fiscal 1999, we converted in full $250.0 million of 5 1/4 % Convertible
Subordinated Notes due 2002 for a total of 19.6 million shares of common stock
at a price of $12.75 per share.
NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS
We lease some of our manufacturing and office facilities under operating leases
that expire at various dates through December 2014. Lease agreements for
certain corporate facilities contain payment provisions, which allow for changes
in rental amounts based upon interest rate changes. The approximate future
minimum lease payments under operating leases are as follows:

Rent expense was approximately $7.3 million for fiscal 2000, and $4.5 million
each for fiscal years 1999 and 1998. The increased rent expense is due to
expansion at our corporate facility.
During fiscal 1998, we entered into an agreement for a facility to be built on
property adjacent to our corporate facilities which was completed in fiscal
2000. Upon signing the lease agreement, we paid the lessor $31.3 million for
prepaid rent and an option to purchase the facility. The rent prepayment
covered one year and was discounted to its present value. We exercised the
lease agreement's purchase option in fiscal 2000 and the prepaid purchase option
was considered payment in full.
In December 1999, we exercised another option to purchase three buildings
previously leased at our San Jose corporate facility. The restricted investment
of $34.4 million related to certain collateral requirements on the building
leases was used to purchase the three buildings.
NOTE 7. NET INCOME PER SHARE
Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period. In computing
diluted net income per share, the average stock price for the period is used in
determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of
stock options. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted
average common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding.
The computation of basic net income per share for all years presented is derived
from the information on the face of the income statement, and there are no
reconciling items in either the numerator or denominator. Additionally, there
are no reconciling items in the numerator used to compute diluted net income per
share. The total shares used in the denominator of the diluted net income per
share calculation includes 26.8 million, 15.8 million and 25.1 million
incremental common shares attributable to outstanding options for fiscal years
2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Before the long-term debt was converted to equity in the amount of approximately
19.6 million shares, they were not included in the calculation of diluted net
income per share, as their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect for
all periods presented. Outstanding options to purchase approximately 0.3
million, 9.6 million and 7.4 million shares, for the fiscal years 2000, 1999 and
1998, respectively, under the Company's Stock Option Plans were not included in
the treasury stock calculation to derive diluted net income per share as their
inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect. In addition, the put warrants
disclosed in Note 9 did not have any impact on basic or diluted net income per
share in the year ended March 31, 2000 as their inclusion would have had an
anti-dilutive effect.
NOTE 8. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 (FASB 130),
"Reporting Comprehensive Income" in the first quarter of fiscal 1999. FASB 130
established standards for the reporting and disclosure of comprehensive income
and its components; however, the disclosure has no impact on our consolidated
results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Comprehensive income
is defined as the change in equity of a company during a period resulting from
certain transactions and other events and circumstances, excluding transactions
resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. The
difference between net income and comprehensive income for Xilinx is from
foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains or losses on our
available-for-sale securities.
The components of comprehensive income for the fiscal years 2000, 1999 and 1998
are as follows:

NOTE 9. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
In December 1999, Xilinx shareholders voted to approve an amendment to the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized
shares from 300 million to 500 million. The Company's Certificate of
Incorporation also provides for 2 million shares of undesignated preferred
stock.
Treasury stock and put options
We authorized a stock buyback program in December 1997 whereby up to 8 million
shares of our common stock could be purchased in the open market from time to
time as market and business conditions warranted. This program was completed in
November 1998. In April and September 1998, additional stock repurchase
programs were authorized to each buyback up to 12 million shares of our common
stock. We have reissued treasury shares repurchased in response to Employee
Stock Option exercises and Employee Qualified Stock Purchase Plan requirements
as well as in conjunction with our redemption of convertible debt. During
fiscal 2000 and 1999, we repurchased a total of 0.2 million and 11.2 million
shares of common stock for $5.3 million and $113.8 million, respectively. In
fiscal 2000 and 1999, 0.5 million and 16.8 million shares were reissued,
respectively. We were not holding any treasury shares as of March 31, 2000. In
conjunction with the stock repurchase program, during fiscal 2000, we sold put
warrants that entitle the holder of each warrant to sell to us, by physical
delivery, one share of common stock at a specified price, ranging from $33 to
$42 per share. The outstanding put warrants will expire at various dates
through October 2000. As of March 31, 2000, we have 1.2 million shares of
outstanding put warrants.
Stock split
On October 18, 1999, our Board of Directors approved a 2 for 1 split of our
Common Stock, which was effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend. On
December 27, 1999, shareholders of record as of December 17, 1999 received one
additional share of Common Stock for every share held. Shares, per share
amounts, common stock at par value, and additional paid-in capital have been
restated to reflect the stock split for all periods presented.
Stockholder Rights Plan
In October 1991, we adopted a stockholder rights plan and declared a dividend
distribution of one preferred stock purchase right for each outstanding share of
common stock. The rights become exercisable based upon the occurrence of
certain conditions including acquisitions of Company stock, tender or exchange
offers and certain business combination transactions of the Company. In the
event one of the conditions is triggered, each right entitles the registered
holder to purchase a number of shares of preferred stock of the Company or,
under limited circumstances, of the acquirer. The rights are redeemable at the
Company's option, under certain conditions, for $.01 per right and expire on
October 4, 2001.
Employee Stock Option Plans
Under existing stock option plans (Option Plans), options reserved for future
issuance to employees and directors of the Company total 83.9 million shares as
of March 31, 2000. Options to purchase shares of our common stock under the
Option Plans are granted at 100% of the fair market value of the stock on the
date of grant. Options granted to date expire ten years from date of grant and
vest at varying rates over four or five years.
A summary of our Option Plans activity, and related information are as follows:

At March 31, 1999, 31.9 million options were exercisable at an average price of
$6.42.
Employee Qualified Stock Purchase Plan
Under our 1990 Employee Qualified Stock Purchase Plan (Stock Purchase Plan),
qualified employees can elect to have up to 15 percent of their annual earnings
withheld, up to a maximum of $21,250, to purchase our common stock at the end of
six-month enrollment periods. The purchase price of the stock is 85% of the
lower of the fair market value at the beginning of the twenty-four month
offering period or at the end of each six-month purchase period. Almost all
employees are eligible to participate. Under this plan, 2.3 million and 1.6
million shares were issued during 2000 and 1999, respectively, and 9.4 million
shares were available for issuance at March 31, 2000.
Stock-Based Compensation
As permitted under FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" (FASB 123), we have elected to continue to follow Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB
25) and related Interpretations in accounting for our stock-based awards to
employees. Under APB 25, the Company generally recognizes no compensation
expense with respect to such awards.
Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by
FASB 123 and has been determined as if we had accounted for awards to employees
under the fair value method of FASB 123. The fair value of stock options and
stock purchase plan rights under the Option Plans and Stock Purchase Plan was
estimated as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The
Black-Scholes model was originally developed for use in estimating the fair
value of traded options and requires the input of highly subjective assumptions
including expected stock price volatility. Our stock options and stock purchase
plan rights have characteristics significantly different from those of traded
options, and changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect
the fair value estimate. The fair value of stock options and stock purchase
plan rights granted in fiscal years 2000, 1999 and 1998 were estimated at the
date of grant assuming no expected dividends and the following weighted average
assumptions.
<TABLE>

</TABLE>
For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of stock-based
awards is amortized against pro forma net income over the stock-based awards'
vesting period. Had we accounted for stock-based awards to employees under FASB
123, our net income would have been $560.3 million, $65.2 million, and $95.6
million in 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. Basic net income per share would
have been $1.73, $0.22, and $0.32 in 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively, while
diluted net income per share would have been $1.60, $0.21, and $0.31,
respectively.
Calculated under FASB 123, the weighted-average fair value of the stock options
granted during 2000, 1999, and 1998 was $18.87, $6.90, and $5.34 per share,
respectively. The weighted-average fair value of stock purchase rights granted
under the Stock Purchase Plan during 2000, 1999, and 1998 were $18.19, $4.98,
and $3.63 per share, respectively.

The tax benefits associated with the disqualifying dispositions of stock options
or employee stock purchase plan shares reduced taxes currently payable by $112.1
million, $34.9 million, and $16.1 million for fiscal 2000, 1999, and 1998,
respectively. Such benefits are credited to additional paid-in capital when
realized. Pretax income from foreign operations was $106.4 million, $61.2
million, and $55.5 million for fiscal years 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively.
Unremitted foreign earnings that are considered to be permanently invested
outside the United States and on which no deferred taxes have been provided,
accumulated to approximately $111.7 million as of March 31, 2000. The residual
U.S. tax liability, if such amounts were remitted, would be approximately $27.9

NOTE 12. LITIGATION
On June 7, 1993, we filed suit against Altera Corporation (Altera) in the United
States District Court for the Northern District of California for infringement
of certain of our patents. Subsequently, Altera filed suit against Xilinx,
alleging that certain of our products infringe certain Altera patents. Fact and
expert discovery have been completed in both cases, which have been
consolidated. Both Altera and Xilinx filed motions with the Court for summary
judgement with respect to certain of the issues pending in the litigation. In
October 1999, the Court ruled on all but one of the motions. As a result of
those rulings, Altera is left with one claim against Xilinx, which remains the
subject of a Company motion for summary judgment. A ruling on this motion is
pending. The Court's rulings also dismissed certain claims by us, leaving intact
claims of infringement under two Company patents by Altera. The remaining claims
against Altera will be decided at a trial scheduled to begin in October, 2000.
If the remaining claim against Xilinx survives the motion for summary judgment,
it will be decided at a trial, which is currently scheduled to commence on June
19, 2000.
On April 20, 1995, Altera filed an additional suit against Xilinx in the Federal
District Court in Delaware, alleging that our XC5200 family infringes an Altera
patent. We answered the Delaware suit denying that the XC5200 family infringes
the patent in suit, asserting certain affirmative defenses and counterclaiming
that the Altera Max 9000 family infringes certain of our patents. The Delaware
suit was transferred to the United States District Court for the Northern
District of California.
On July 22, 1998, Altera and Joseph Ward, a former Xilinx employee, filed suit
against Xilinx in Superior Court in Santa Clara County, California, arising out
of our efforts to prevent disclosure of certain Company confidential
information. Altera's suit requests declaratory relief and claims Xilinx
engages in unfair business practices and interference with contractual
relations. On September 10, 1998 we filed cross claims against Altera and Ward
for unfair competition and breach of contract, among other claims, in the
California action. On October 20, 1998, Altera and Ward filed crossclaims
against Xilinx for malicious prosecution of civil action and defamation. On
September 15, 1999, the Court dismissed all of our claims against Altera and Mr.
Ward, finding that we were unable to show any damages we suffered as a result of
any actions by Mr. Ward. Claims against Xilinx are still pending.
The ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be determined at this time.
Management believes that it has meritorious defenses to such claims and is
defending them vigorously. The foregoing is a forward-looking statement subject
to risks and uncertainties, and the future outcome of these matters could differ
materially due to the uncertain nature of each legal proceeding and because the
lawsuits are still in the pre-trial stages.
On July 31, 1998, the Lemelson Foundation Partnership (Lemelson) filed a lawsuit
in the United States District Court in Phoenix, Arizona against the Company and
twenty-five (25) other United States semiconductor companies for infringement of
certain of its patents. During the third quarter of fiscal 1999, we entered
into a license settlement with Lemelson. In response, Lemelson dismissed with
prejudice all claims against us.
There are no other pending legal proceedings of a material nature to which we
are a party or of which any of our property is the subject. We know of no legal
proceedings contemplated by any governmental authority or agency.
NOTE 13. WRITE-OFF OF IN-PROCESS TECHNOLOGY
We completed the acquisition of Philips Semiconductors' line of low-power
complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs) on August 2, 1999. The total cost,
including acquisition related fees, was approximately $22.8 million. The
purchase price allocation, based on an independent appraisal, resulted in a $4.6
million charge to research and development in the second quarter of fiscal 2000.
The acquired in-process technology represents the appraised value of
technologies in the development stage that had not yet reached technological
feasibility and does not have alternative future uses.
In January 1999, we acquired certain assets of MI Acquisition LLP, for a total
purchase price of $6.8 million. The purchase price allocation, based on an
independent appraisal, resulted in a $3.6 million charge to research and
development in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999 for acquired in-process
technology. The acquired in-process technology represents the appraised value
of technology in the development stage that had not yet reached technological
feasibility and does not have alternative future uses.
NOTE 14. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On May 31, 2000, Altera filed an additional suit against Xilinx in the Federal
District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging that certain
Xilinx products, including our Virtex(tm) FPGAs, infringe three Altera patents.
Altera's suit requests unspecified monetary damages as well as issuance of an
injunction to prevent Xilinx from selling allegedly infringing parts. Xilinx
has not yet had the opportunity to fully review this latest suit and investigate
the facts related thereto, and therefore can make no comment as to its likely
outcome.
REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Xilinx, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Xilinx, Inc. as
of March 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related consolidated statements of income,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended March 31, 2000. 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 auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. 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 Xilinx,
Inc. at March 31, 2000 and 1999, and the consolidated results of its operations
and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31,
2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when

presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
As discussed in Notes 2 and 3 to the consolidated financial statements, in the
fiscal year ended March 31, 1999, the Company changed its method of recognizing
