NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except share data)
(1) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of MEMC Electronic
Materials, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company), in the opinion of management,
include all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring items) necessary to
present fairly the Company's financial position and results of operations and
cash flows for the periods presented. The consolidated financial statements are
presented in accordance with the requirements of Regulation S-X and consequently
do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles. This report on Form 10-Q, including unaudited consolidated financial
statements, should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual report to
shareholders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999, which contains the
Company's audited financial statements for such year and the related
management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations. Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 2000.
(2) Earnings (loss) per share
The numerator for basic and diluted loss per share calculations is net loss for
all periods presented. The denominator for the basic and diluted loss per share
calculations for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 is
the same within each period (the weighted average shares outstanding for each
respective period). The Company had 2,859,157 options outstanding at June 30,
2000 which were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share due to
the net loss incurred during the three and six month periods ended June 30,
2000.
(3) Inventories
Inventories consist of the following:
June 30, December 31,
2000 1999
Raw materials and supplies $ 44,225 $ 49,537
Goods in process 27,637 23,493
Finished goods 27,367 25,389
---------- ----------

(4) Restructuring Costs
During 1998, the Company recorded a charge to operations of $121,670 related to
the decisions to close its small diameter wafer facility in Spartanburg, South
Carolina, withdraw from its 60%-owned joint venture in a small diameter wafer
operation in China and to forego construction of a new 200 millimeter wafer
facility at its 75%-owned joint venture in Malaysia. Restructuring activity
since the provision for restructuring costs was recorded is as follows:

========= ========= ======== ========
Substantially all of the dismantling and related costs, and the personnel costs
included in the $10,469 restructuring reserve are related to the Spartanburg
facility. Approximately twenty-five percent of the reserve is expected to be
utilized by December 31, 2000. Timing for utilization of the remainder of the
reserve is primarily dependent on the timing of the sale of the Spartanburg
facility.
(5) Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive loss for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 was $15,721
and $48,212, respectively. Comprehensive loss for the six months ended June 30,
2000 and 1999 was $50,182 and $107,086, respectively. The Company's only
adjustment from net loss to comprehensive loss was foreign currency translation
adjustments in all periods presented.
<PAGE>
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
Net Sales. Net sales increased 19% to $201 million for the second quarter of
2000 from $168 million for the second quarter of 1999. The increase was
primarily attributable to a 13% increase in product volume and modest price
increases in the second quarter of 2000 compared to the second quarter of 1999.
Net sales increased 20% to $394 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000
from $328 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The increase was
primarily attributable to a 17% increase in product volume and modest price
increases. On a geographic basis, product volumes for the three and six-month
periods ended June 30, 2000 increased by double digit percentages in all regions
except the U.S. market as compared to the three and six-month periods ended June
30, 1999. Product volumes for the U.S. market showed moderate increase in the
three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 compared to the corresponding
June 30, 1999 periods.
The Company expects to see moderate increases in product volume as well as
modest increases in average selling prices in the next quarter. Coupled with
continued cost reductions, the Company's near-term target is to achieve a
positive operating profit.
Gross Margin. Gross margin improved to 13% in the second quarter of 2000 from
negative 1% for the second quarter of 1999. Gross margin improved to 10% in the
six months ended June 30, 2000 from negative 5% in the six months ended June 30,
1999. The increase in gross margin in both the three and six -month periods
ended June 30, 2000 compared to the corresponding June 30, 1999 periods was
primarily attributable to significantly higher volumes coupled with modest price
increases and significant cost reductions. The Company expects continued, but
gradual, improvements in its cost structure in the next few quarters. Advanced
large diameter and epitaxial products represented 54% and 51% of product volume
for the second quarters of 2000 and 1999, respectively.
Research and development expenses in the 2000 second quarter totaled $18
million, compared to $20 million in the year-ago period. Research and
development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2000 were $38 million,
compared to $41 million in the year-ago period. The decrease in expenses is
primarily a result of additional 300 mm sales from the Company's pilot line,
which sales are being offset against the related research and development
expenses.
Income Taxes. The Company realized an income tax benefit at the rate of 27% for
both the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and an income tax
benefit at the rate of 31% for both the three and six-month periods ended June
30, 1999. The reduced rate of income tax benefit is primarily a result of
changes in the composition of the Company's worldwide taxable income. The
Company expects an effective tax rate for the year 2000 consistent with the
first six months.
Equity in Income (Loss) of Joint Ventures. Equity in income (loss) of joint
ventures was $2 million in the second quarter of 2000, as compared to a loss of
$4 million in the second quarter of 1999. The Company's share of the income of
Posco Huls Co., Ltd. (PHC), the Company's 40%-owned, unconsolidated joint
venture in South Korea, was $1 million in the second quarter of 2000 compared to
a loss of $2 million in the second quarter of 1999. PHC's return to
profitability was primarily due to a significant increase in product volume. The
Company's share of the income of Taisil Electronic Materials Corporation
(Taisil), the Company's 45%-owned, unconsolidated joint venture in Taiwan, was
$1 million in the second quarter 2000 compared to a loss of $2 million in the
second quarter of 1999. Taisil's improved income was primarily due to a
significant increase in average selling price and a 7% increase in product
volume in the second quarter of 2000 compared to second quarter of 1999.
<PAGE>
Equity in income (loss) of joint ventures was $1 million in the six months ended
June 30, 2000, as compared to loss of $8 million in the six months ended June
30, 1999. The Company's share of the income of PHC was $0.5 million in the six
months ended June 30, 2000 compared to a loss of $4 million in the six months
ended June 30, 1999. PHC's income was primarily due to a significant increase in
product volume in the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to the six months
ended June 30, 1999. The Company's share of the income of Taisil was $0.5
million in the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to a loss of $4 million
in the six months ended June 30, 1999. Taisil's income was primarily due to a
significant increase in product volume and an increase in average selling price
in the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to the six months ended June 30,
1999.
Net Loss. Net loss for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 was
approximately $16 million and $39 million, respectively. The reduction in net
loss for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was primarily a result of
increased gross margin of $28 million and a $6 million increase in joint venture
income partially offset by a reduced income tax benefit. The Company had a net
loss of $0.22 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 on approximately
69.6 million shares outstanding compared to a net loss of $.58 per share for the
quarter ended June 30, 1999 on 67.3 million weighted average shares outstanding.
Net loss for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 was
approximately $43 million and $90 million, respectively. The reduction in net
loss for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was primarily a result of increased
gross margin of $56 million and joint venture income increasing $9 million
partially offset by a reduced income tax benefit. The Company had a net loss of
$0.62 per share for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000 on approximately
69.6 million shares outstanding compared to a net loss of $1.63 per share for
the six-month period ended June 30, 1999 on 54.8 million weighted average shares
outstanding.
The weighted average shares outstanding reflect the issuance of 15.4 million
shares of common stock in a private placement to VEBA Zweite
Verwaltungsgesellschaft mbH in March 1999 and 13.6 million shares of common
stock in connection with the Company's rights offering in April 1999.
<PAGE>
Liquidity and Capital Resources.
At June 30, 2000, the Company had $17 million of cash and cash equivalents
compared to $29 million at December 31, 1999.
Cash flows used in operating activities decreased to $13 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 from $73 million for six months ended June 30, 1999.
This $60 million improvement was due primarily to a reduction in operating
losses.
Accounts receivable of $132 million at June 30, 2000 increased $20 million, or
18%, from $112 million at December 31, 1999. This increase was primarily
attributable to the 10% increase in net sales during the second quarter 2000
over fourth quarter 1999. Days' sales outstanding were 60 days at June 30, 2000
compared to 56 days at December 31, 1999 based upon annualized sales for the
respective immediately preceding quarters.
Inventories increased $1 million, or 1%, from December 31, 1999 to $99 million
at June 30, 2000. This increase was primarily due to increased customer managed
inventories. Total related inventory reserves for obsolescence, lower of cost or
market issues, or other impairments were $15 million at June 30, 2000, compared
to $17 million at December 31, 1999. Quarter-end inventories as a percentage of
annualized quarterly net sales declined 1% to 12% for the period ended June 30,
2000 compared to the period ended December 31, 1999.
The Company's net deferred tax assets increased $24 million in the first six
months of 2000 to $221 million at June 30, 2000. The Company provides for income
taxes on a quarterly basis based on an estimated annual effective tax rate. The
Company estimates that net operating loss carryforwards increased $14 million in
the six months ended June 30, 2000. Management believes it is more likely than
not that, with its projections of future taxable income and after consideration
of the valuation allowance, the Company will generate sufficient taxable income
to realize the benefits of the net deferred tax assets existing at June 30,
2000. In order to realize the net deferred tax assets existing at June 30, 2000,
the Company will need to generate future taxable income of approximately $615
million over the next 20 years. There can be no assurance, however, that the
Company will generate sufficient taxable income to realize the full benefit of
the existing net deferred tax assets.
At December 31, 1999, the Company's net operating loss carryforwards totaled
$647 million, of which $7 million will expire in 2001; $13 million will expire
in 2002; $29 million will expire in 2003; $9 million will expire in 2004; $14
million will expire in 2012; $322 million will expire in 2018; and $253 million
will expire in 2019.
On June 16, 2000, VEBA AG, which through its affiliates is the majority
shareholder and principal lender of the Company, merged with VIAG AG. The
VEBA/VIAG group, now known as E.ON AG, has stated that its core businesses will
be energy and specialty chemicals. E.ON AG's stated intent is to systematically
and optimally divest certain non-core businesses, including the Company. The
Company intends to work closely with E.ON AG to effectuate an orderly
divestiture process that preserves and optimizes the value of the Company. A
decrease of ownership interest of E.ON AG and its affiliates may result in
annual limitations for federal income tax purposes of the Company's ability to
use its tax loss carryforwards under Internal Revenue Code Section 382.
Net cash used in investing activities decreased $2 million to $21 million in the
six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to the six months ended June 30, 1999.
For the six months ended June 30, 2000, cash used by investing activities
reflected slightly increased spending on capital projects offset by a reduction
in equity infusions in joint ventures and a reduction in notes receivable from
affiliates. The capital expenditures in the first six months of 2000 primarily
related to the implementation of SAP worldwide and to maintenance capital. The
Company expects to continue to tightly control capital expenditures in 2000. At
June 30, 2000, the Company had $12 million of committed capital expenditures
related to the implementation of SAP worldwide and various manufacturing and
technology projects.
<PAGE>
The Company made no equity infusions into joint ventures in the six months ended
June 30, 2000, compared to an equity infusion of $12 million in the six months
ended June 30, 1999. Although to date Taisil has an accumulated deficit, the
Company does not consider its investment in Taisil to be impaired as of June 30,
2000 based on Taisil's increasing product volumes and capacity utilization,
improving operating results, positive operating cash flow generated in 1999 and
in the first two quarters of 2000, and positive net income in the quarter ended
June 30, 2000.
Cash flows provided by financing activities decreased to $23 million in the six
months ended June 31, 2000 from $113 million in the six months ended June 31,
1999. The 2000 financing activities consisted primarily of issuance of debt by
the Company. In the six months ended June 30, 1999, the financing activities
consisted primarily of stock offerings partially offset by repayment of
short-term and long-term debt.
At June 30, 2000, the Company maintained $947 million of committed long-term
loan agreements, of which $907 million was outstanding. The Company also
maintained $53 million of short-term lines of credit, of which less than $1
million was outstanding at June 30, 2000. The Company's weighted average cost of
borrowing was 8.1% at June 30, 2000 and 7.8% at December 31, 1999. Total debt
outstanding increased to $908 million at June 30, 2000 from $892 million at
December 31, 1999. The total debt to total capital ratio at June 30, 2000 was
68% as compared to 65% at December 31, 1999.
The silicon wafer industry is highly capital intensive. The Company's capital
needs depend on numerous factors, including its profitability and investment in
capital expenditures and research and development. Management believes that the
liquidity provided by existing cash balances and credit facilities, together
with cash generated from operations, will be sufficient to satisfy commitments
for capital expenditures and operating cash requirements through 2000. If,
however, the Company's future financial performance fails to meet management's
current expectations, then the Company may require additional financing in order
to satisfy planned capital expenditures and operating cash requirements for
2000. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available on terms
acceptable to the Company.
Historically, the Company has funded its operations primarily through loans from
E.ON AG and its affiliates, internally generated funds, and issuances of common
stock. To a lesser extent, the Company has raised funds by borrowing money from
commercial banks. Under its credit facilities with E.ON AG and its affiliates,
the Company cannot pledge any of its assets to secure additional financing
without the consent of E.ON AG and its affiliates.
The Company's loans from E.ON AG and its affiliates begin to mature in 2001. The
Company does not currently anticipate having sufficient funds from operations to
repay these loans upon maturity commencing in 2001, and will need to seek and
obtain replacement financing. The Company is currently engaged in discussions
with its financial advisors regarding additional sources of capital. There can
be no assurance that such capital will be available on terms acceptable to the
Company or that the Company will be able to refinance its loans with E.ON AG and
its affiliates upon maturity. If the Company fails to repay the loans when due
the Company will be in default under the loans and E.ON AG and its affiliates
could accelerate all amounts outstanding under the loans. This would have a
material adverse effect on the Company.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 requires the recognition of
all derivatives as assets or liabilities within the balance sheet, and requires
both the derivatives and the underlying exposure to be recorded at fair value.
Any gain or loss resulting from changes in fair value will be recorded as part
of the results of operations, or as a component of comprehensive income or loss,
depending upon the intended use of the derivative. In July 1999, the Financial
Accountings Standards Board changed the effective date of SFAS No. 133 to all
fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company does
not believe that the implementation of this Statement will have a material
effect on its financial condition or results of operations.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.
This Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking" statements within the meaning of the
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including those concerning: the
utilization of the restructuring reserve; future pricing; future product
volumes; continued cost improvements; near-term target of a positive operating
profit; expected effective income tax rate; liquidity through 2000; tight
control of capital expenditures in 2000; the Company's ability to generate
future taxable income as it relates to the realization of the net deferred tax
asset; the Company's intention to work closely with E.ON AG to effect an orderly
divestiture process that preserves and optimizes the value of the Company;
expectation that the Company will not have sufficient funds from operations to
repay loans from E.ON AG and its affiliates upon maturity; and the impact of the
implementation of SFAS No. 133. Such statements involve certain risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in
the forward-looking statements. Potential risks and uncertainties include such
factors as: market demand for silicon wafers; utilization of manufacturing
capacity; ability of the Company to reduce manufacturing costs; demand for
semiconductors generally; changes in the pricing environment; general economic
conditions; competitors' actions; changes in currency exchange rates; changes in
the components of worldwide taxable income; technological changes; changes in
product specifications and manufacturing processes; accuracy of management's
assumptions regarding the dismantling and sale of the Spartanburg facility;
changes in the plans and intentions of third parties, including E.ON AG; changes
in financial market conditions; changes in interest rates; and other risks
described in the Company's filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
including the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1999.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Market risks relating to the Company's operations result primarily from changes
in interest rates and changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company enters into
currency forward contracts to minimize its transactional currency risks. The
Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading
purposes. There have been no significant changes in the Company's holdings of
interest rate sensitive or foreign currency exchange rate sensitive instruments
since December 31, 1999.
