Our net sales in the six months ended March 31, 2007
increased by
551 million, or
34%, from
1,606 million in
the six months ended March 31, 2006 to
2,157 million in
the six months ended March 31, 2007. Primarily responsible
for this increase were:
|
|
|
|
|
slight increases in our average selling prices for DRAM
products, and |
|
|
|
substantially higher bit shipments. |
Offsetting these increases in part were
|
|
|
|
|
decreases related to exchange rate effects. |
Price increases: During the six months ended
March 31, 2007, prices for DRAM products remained stable
until the end of December 2006, but declined significantly
thereafter, especially towards the end of the three months ended
March 31, 2007. We believe that this price decline was
driven by seasonal demand weakness, the effects of an earlier
build-up of inventories at original equipment manufacturers
(OEMs) ahead of the introduction of the new Windows Vista
computer operating system and capacity conversions from NAND to
DRAM by some competitors, following severe price erosion in the
NAND Flash area.
During the six months ended March 31, 2006, by contrast,
average selling prices (for DDR2 memories in particular) first
declined very substantially until the end of December 2005, due,
we believe, to a mismatch caused by high worldwide production of
DDR2 memories for which OEMs had not yet produced enough logic
chipsets. DDR2 prices then started to rebound in the following
three months ended March 31, 2006 as the corresponding
chipsets became more available, however, the initial decline in
prices depressed our revenues for the six months ended
March 31, 2006.
Overall the average selling prices of our DRAM products were 4%
higher in the six months ended March 31, 2007 as compared
to the six months ended March 31, 2006.
We nevertheless continue to expect that prices for standard DRAM
products will decline over time in line with the long-term trend
across the industry as a whole. Such declines can sometimes be
severe, as we experienced towards the end of March 2007. We
intend to mitigate the impact of declining prices by reducing
our unit costs and continuing to diversify our product mix. In
the three months ended March 31, 2007, the share of bit
shipments to non-PC applications was 50 percent due to
seasonality in the consumer and infrastructure markets and
stronger than expected bit growth in the PC market.
Increase in bit shipments. Our bit shipments increased by
44% during the six months ended March 31, 2007 compared to
the six months ended March 31, 2006 due to increasing
manufacturing output and improved demand in all geographical
regions. The shift to higher density products continued in the
quarter ending March 31, 2007. In the six months ended
March 31, 2007, 81% of total bit shipments were of 512Mb
DRAMs, compared to 70% in the six months ended March 31,
2006. During the six months ended March 31, 2007, close to
60% of our capacities were converted to the 90nm and below
technology nodes, compared to approximately 13% for the six
months ended March 31, 2006. With the ramp-down of our
flash business we have shifted additional capacities to DRAM.

Exchange rate effects. The U.S. dollar weakened against
the euro in the first six months of financial year 2007, with
the average exchange rate for the period 9% lower than it was
for the corresponding period of our 2006 financial year. This
unfavorable U.S. dollar to euro exchange rate negatively
affected our revenues during the six months ended March 31,
2007. We have calculated the effects of this translation risk as
follows: we would have achieved
185 million more
in net sales in the six months ended March 31, 2007, had
the average exchange rates we used to translate our non-euro
denominated sales into euros been the same in the six months
ended March 31, 2007 as they were in the six months ended
March 31, 2006.
The following table sets forth our sales by region for the
periods indicated.

The increased sales in Japan resulted from an increase in the
consumer business combined with a strong growth of specialty
products, in particular for graphics applications, during the
six months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease in sales in
North America for the three months ended March 31, 2007, as
compared to the previous period, was primarily caused by OEM
customers shifting their production to Asia. For practical
purposes, the Rest of Europe region also includes other
countries and territories in the rest of the world outside of
the listed main geographic regions with aggregate sales
representing no more than 2% of total sales in any period.

Cost of goods sold increased by
212 million, or
15%, from
1,396 million in
the six months ended March 31, 2006 to
1,608 million in
the six months ended March 31, 2007. Nevertheless, as a
percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold decreased from 87%
to 75% over the same period. The absolute increase in our cost
of goods sold was due primarily to:
|
|
|
|
|
substantially higher bit shipments; |
|
|
|
increased purchases from foundries; and |
|
|
|
effects from inventory revaluation and reserves. |
Offsetting these increases in part were:
|
|
|
|
|
improvements in our productivity; and |
|
|
|
exchange rate effects. |
2
Higher bit shipments. The 44% increase in bit shipments
in the six months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the six
months ended March 31, 2006 was due primarily to the
ramp-up of production volumes at our Richmond 300mm facility and
higher purchases from foundries and joint ventures.
Increased purchases from foundries. We report as cost of
goods sold the cost of inventory purchased from our joint
ventures and other associated and related companies such as
Inotera. Our purchases from these affiliated entities amounted
to 274 million in
the six months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to
196 million in
the six months ended March 31, 2006. In addition, we
purchased
431 million of
inventory from our foundry partners Winbond, SMIC and Infineon
in the six months ended March 31, 2007 compared to
361 million in
the six months ended March 31, 2006. In the six months
ended March 31, 2007, we sourced 33% of our chips from
these partners as compared to 32% during the six months ended
March 31, 2006.
Inventory revaluation and reserves. We value our
inventory on a quarterly basis at the lower of cost or market
value. If the market price declines below the full production
cost of a particular product, then all inventories of that
product are written down to its market price. For some of our
products, the significant price decline towards the end of March
2007 resulted in the write-down of inventory to market value of
33 million in the
three months ended March 31, 2007 in accordance with our
policy.
Improved productivity. Similar to our 2006 financial
year, we achieved productivity improvements through the
increased conversion of capacities to 90nm, 80nm and 75nm
process technologies and the increasing share of our chips
produced on 300mm wafers. The ramp-up of 300mm capacities at our
Richmond facility, our joint venture Inotera and our foundry
partners SMIC and Winbond contributed to the increased share of
production on 300mm wafers. Measured in wafer starts, 72% of our
total production (including capacity sourced from our strategic
and foundry partners) was on 300mm wafers in the six months
ended March 31, 2007 as compared to 65% of our production
in the six months ended March 31, 2006. We believe that
productivity improvements, together with a larger sales volume
over which our fixed costs are spread, permitted us to achieve a
percentage increase in costs that was below the percentage
increase in bit shipments.
Exchange rate effects. The relative decrease of the
exchange rate of the U.S. dollar against the euro in the six
months ended March 31, 2007, as compared to the equivalent
period one year earlier, decreased the euro value of our costs
that are denominated in U.S. dollars by approximately
102 million. This
means that we would have incurred approximately
102 million more
in costs of goods sold in our six months ended March 31,
2007, had the average exchange rates we used to translate our
non-euro expenses into euros been the same in the six months
ended March 31, 2007 as they were in the six months ended
March 31, 2006. However, considered together with the
decrease in our net sales due to foreign exchange effects,
foreign currency movements overall had a negative net effect on
our gross margin during the six months ended March 31, 2007.
Our gross margin increased to 25% during the six months ended
March 31, 2007, from 13% in the six months ended
March 31, 2006, primarily due to higher average selling
prices from a more diversified product mix and lower production
cost per unit resulting from increased manufacturing
productivity.
While average selling prices, especially for standard DRAM
products, generally decline over time, they can display
significant volatility from period to period. Our gross margin
suffers in periods in which prices decline faster than we can
reduce our unit costs and is stronger during periods when prices
decrease more slowly or increase. Due to the significant decline
in average selling prices towards the end of March 2007, our
gross margin decreased from 30% for the three months ended
December 31, 2006 to 20% for the three months ended
March 31, 2007.

In the six months ended March 31, 2007, research and
development expenses decreased by 10% to
193 million, from
215 million in
the six months ended March 31, 2006, due to the substantial
completion of R&D work on our 80nm and 75nm technology and
the development of the first products using these technologies.
However, we do expect our R&D expenses to increase in the
current and future quarters as we continue to invest in the
technologies that support the next generation of our products.

During the six months ended March 31, 2007, selling,
general and administrative expenses decreased by 19% compared to
the same period in the prior year. The primary reason for the
decline was that during the six months ended March 31, 2007
the combined costs under our post carve-out service agreements
with Infineon and to build out our corporate functions were less
than the costs Infineon allocated to us for the six months ended
March 31, 2006. We also incurred lower costs in the six
months ended March 31, 2007 than we did for the same period
one year earlier for special projects, such as our carve-out and
IPO.

Other operating (expense) income, net contains various
items related to our operations, and may fluctuate from period
to period due to the more or less infrequent nature of these
items, which include subsidies, grants, insurance proceeds and
accruals for legal matters. Other operating expenses, net for
the six months ended March 31, 2006 related principally to
charges from our settlement of an antitrust investigation by the
U.S. Department of Justice and related actions as well as a
related ongoing investigation in Europe. Other operating income,
net in the six months ended March 31, 2007 related
primarily to subsidies and the proceeds from insurance claims.

In both periods, Inotera contributed most of our equity in
earnings from associated companies, which increased in the three
and six months ended March 31, 2007, primarily due to the
increased volume production by Inotera and the generally
improved DRAM pricing environment compared to the
4
three and six month periods ended March 31, 2006. Our
equity in this ventures earnings has been sensitive to
fluctuations in the price of DRAM and we adjust our equity in
earnings by the inter-company profit contained in our unsold
inventory that we purchased from Inotera.

Other non-operating income, net consists of various items from
period to period not directly related to our principal
operations, including gains and losses on sales of marketable
securities. In the six months ended March 31, 2007, other
non-operating income related principally to valuation of
derivatives, dividend income and a gain of
2 million on the
sale of our investment in Ramtron, whereas in the six months
ended March 31, 2006, other non-operating income related
principally to foreign currency transaction gains.

Interest expense mainly relates to interest on short-term debt
due to Infineon, while we earn interest income on cash and cash
equivalents and marketable securities. Our interest expense
decreased during the three and six month periods ended
March 31, 2007, due to our lower average borrowings from
Infineon, as we repaid
184 million of
outstanding debt to Infineon during the three months ended
March 31, 2007 and a total of
296 million of
outstanding debt to Infineon during the six months ended
March 31, 2007. Additionally, due to investments in
marketable securities and increasing interest rates, our
interest income increased.

In the six months ended March 31, 2007, our effective rate
was lower than our combined statutory tax rate. This resulted
from tax credits, non-taxable income and income in jurisdictions
with lower than average corporate tax rates. In the six months
ended March 31, 2006, our effective tax rate did not fully
reflect our loss for the period due to tax benefits that could
not be recognized, because for certain jurisdictions losses
prior to our carve-out could not be used to offset taxable
income after our
carve-out.
In China, as a result of enacted tax reform legislation, a new
uniform income tax regime will become effective from
January 1, 2008. We are evaluating the implications of
these changes on our effective tax rate and deferred tax assets
and liabilities.
Our net result increased from a net loss of
136 million in
the six months ended March 31, 2006 to net income of
234 million in
the six months ended March 31, 2007.

Percentage changes from September 30, 2006 to
March 31, 2007. |
As of March 31, 2007, our current assets decreased slightly
as compared to September 30, 2006 primarily due to lower
trade accounts receivables, as a result of lower revenues and
faster collections in March 2007 compared to September 2006, and
reduced other current assets, as a result of lower sales tax
(VAT) receivables from the aforementioned lower sales.
These effects were partially offset by investments made in
marketable securities pending use in capital expenditures and
the build-up of inventories resulting from bit production growth
exceeding bit shipments during the six months ended
March 31, 2007. Non-current assets were comparatively
stable because increases from the combined effect of capital
expenditures for our capacity expansion and equity in earnings
of Inotera were practically offset by depreciation recorded
during the six months ended March 31, 2007
As of March 31, 2007, current liabilities decreased
substantially compared to September 30, 2006 primarily as a
result of the further repayment of
296 million on
our short-term loan due to Infineon during the six month ended
March 31, 2007, and reduced trade accounts payable due to
comparatively lower capital expenditures in the three months
ended March 31, 2007 compared to the three months ended
September 30, 2006. In addition, a portion of long-term
debt as of September 30, 2006 ap-
6
proaching current maturity was classified as part of current
liabilities as of March 31, 2007, and is mainly responsible
for the decrease in non-current liabilities.
As of March 31, 2007, our shareholders equity
increased to
4,048 million,
principally due to our net income of
234 million,
which was partially offset by foreign currency translation
losses affecting equity of
69 million during
the six months ended March 31, 2007.

Our operating cash flow improved substantially from an outflow
of 5 million in
the six months ended March 31, 2006 to an inflow of
724 million in
the six months ended March 31, 2007, primarily due to our
return to profitability after the six months ended
March 31, 2006. We earned net income of
234 million in
the six months ended March 31, 2007. Depreciation and
amortization decreased by
15 million mainly
as a result of lower capital expenditures and certain equipment
reaching the end of its depreciable life prior to the 2007
financial year. Our operating cash flow during the three and six
months ended March 31, 2007 benefited from the faster
collection of trade accounts receivable.
Cash used in investing activities reflect the capital
expenditures we made as we continued to invest in Property,
Plant & Equipment (PP&E) during all periods. Our cash
used in investing activities was higher in the six months ended
March 31, 2007 as purchases of marketable securities offset
a temporary decrease in our investment in PP&E.
Cash used in financing activities during the three months ended
March 31, 2007 refers principally to the repayment of
296 million of
short-term debt to Infineon. During the six months ended
March 31, 2006, financing was principally provided by
investments by and advances from Infineon.
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure which is
determined as follows from our combined and consolidated
statements of cash flows:

Our free cash flow was positive in the three and six months
ended March 31, 2007 mainly due to our profitable
operations and capital expenditures that were lower than cash
provided from operating activities.

Our capital expenditures for the six months ended March 31,
2007, consisted primarily of equipment upgrades at our 300mm
facility in Dresden and capacity expansion at our 300mm fab in
Richmond, Virginia. Depending on market conditions, we expect
capital expenditures of up to
1 billion for the
2007 financial year. In March 2007, we announced plans to expand
capacity at our back-end manufacturing facility in Suzhou, China
for which we expect capital expenditures of
250 million over
the next three years. We also plan to invest up to
150 million over
the next five years to build a new DRAM module manufacturing
facility in Johor, Malaysia. In April 2007, we also announced
plans to construct a new front-end manufacturing facility in
Singapore, for which we plan to invest approximately
2 billion over
the next five years.
Outlook for the Third Quarter and 2007 Financial Year
We expect our bit production to grow by 8 to 12 percent in
the third quarter of our 2007 financial year, mainly based on
additional capacities from the 300mm line in Richmond and the
Inotera Joint Venture and continued productivity improvements as
a result of the conversion of more capacities to 80nm technology
and below. We expect our share of bit-shipments to non-PC
applications to be more than 50 percent for the third
quarter of our 2007 financial year.
For the full 2007 financial year, we expect bit demand for DRAM
to be driven by the continued strong growth in consumer and
communication applications and by the conversion to the Windows
Vista operating system. For the 2007 calendar year, we expect
the market measured in bits to grow between 60 and
70 percent, in line with most market analyst expectations
such as Gartner and iSuppli. We intend to increase bit
production in line with this overall market growth. Due to the
stronger than expected bit shipment growth in the PC market, we
now expect our share of bit-shipments to non-PC applications to
be more than 50 percent for the full 2007 financial year, and
expect the trend of stronger demand for PC-related products to
continue.

Description of Business, Formation and Basis of
Presentation |
Qimonda AG and its subsidiaries (collectively, the
Company or Qimonda) is one of the
worlds leading suppliers of semiconductor memory products.
It designs memory technologies and develops, manufactures,
markets and sells a large variety of memory products on a
module, component and chip level. Qimonda has operations,
investments and customers located mainly in Europe, Asia and
North America. The Company is a majority owned subsidiary of
Infineon Technologies AG (Infineon). The financial
year-end for the Company is September 30.
Effective May 1, 2006, substantially all the memory
products-related assets and liabilities, operations and
activities of Infineon (the Memory Products
business) were contributed to the Company (the
Formation). In conjunction with the Formation the
Company entered into a contribution agreement and various other
service agreements with Infineon. In cases where physical
contribution (ownership transfer) of assets and liabilities were
not feasible or cost effective, the monetary value was
transferred in the form of cash or debt.
On August 9, 2006 the Company completed its IPO on the New
York Stock Exchange through the issuance of 42 million
ordinary shares, which are traded as American Depositary Shares
(ADSs) under the symbol QI. In addition, Infineon
sold 6.3 million shares upon exercise of the
underwriters over-allotment option. As a result,
Infineons ownership interest in the Company decreased to
85.9%.
At the Formation the Companys operations in Japan and
Korea were initially held in trust for Qimondas benefit by
Infineon until the legal transfer to Qimonda takes place. The
Companys Korea operations were legally transferred to
Qimonda in October 2006. Infineon transferred the Japan
operations into a separate legal entity and contributed
additional equity of
12 during the three
months ended December 31, 2006. Although the Japan entity
is still held in trust pending its legal transfer, Qimonda has
all beneficial rights of ownership. The Companys
investment in Inotera Memories Inc. (Inotera),
previously held in trust by Infineon, was transferred to Qimonda
in March 2007 (see note 7). The Companys investments
in Advanced Mask Technology Center GmbH & Co.
(AMTC) and Maskhouse Building Administration GmbH
& Co. KG (BAC) is intended to be transferred by
Infineon after approval by the other shareholders in the
venture, although pursuant to the AMTC and BAC limited
partnership agreement, such consent may not be unreasonably
withheld. The accompanying financial statements include the
results of operations of these activities for all periods
presented.
The accompanying condensed combined and consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(U.S. GAAP). The accompanying financial statements are
condensed, because certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in annual financial statements have been
condensed or omitted. In addition, the condensed consolidated
balance sheet as of September 30, 2006 was derived from
audited financial statements and condensed for comparative
purposes. In the opinion of management, the accompanying
condensed combined and consolidated financial statements contain
all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial
position, results of operations and cash flows of the interim
periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal
recurring nature. The results of operations for any interim
period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full
financial year. The accompanying condensed combined and
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the audited combined and consolidated financial statements
for the year ended September 30, 2006. The accounting
policies applied in preparing the accompanying condensed
combined financial statements are consistent with those for the
year ended September 30, 2006 (see note 2).
The accompanying combined and consolidated financial statements
are presented on a combined basis for periods prior to the
Formation and on a consolidated basis for all periods thereafter.

Qimonda AG and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Combined and Consolidated
Financial Statements
(euro in millions, except where otherwise stated)
Periods prior to the Formation are presented on a
carve-out basis and comprise the combined historical
financial statements of the transferred Memory Products business
assuming that the Company had existed as a separate legal
entity. These combined financial statements have been derived
from the consolidated financial statements and historical
accounting records of Infineon, employing the methods and
assumptions set forth below. Substantially all of the assets,
liabilities, operations and activities of the Memory Products
business are those that comprised the Memory Products segment of
Infineon during the financial periods presented prior to the
Formation.
All amounts herein are shown in millions of euro (or
) except
where otherwise stated. The accompanying balance sheet as of
March 31, 2007, and the statements of operations and cash
flows for the periods then ended are also presented in
U.S. dollars ($), solely for the convenience of
the reader, at the rate of
1 = $1.3374, the
Federal Reserve noon buying rate on March 30, 2007, the
last currency trading day in March 2007. The U.S. dollar
convenience translation amounts have not been audited.
Through the Formation, the combined statements of operations
were prepared on a carve-out basis and reflect all revenues and
expenses that are attributable to the Memory Products business.
Operating expenses or revenues of the Memory Products business
specifically identified as pertaining to the Memory Products
business were charged or credited directly to it without
allocation or apportionment. This is the case for all of the
revenues appearing on the combined statements of operations.
Operating expenses that Infineon incurred were allocated to the
Memory Products business to the extent that they were related
and indirectly attributable to it.
Allocations from Infineon during the three and six months ended
March 31, 2006 and 2007 are reflected in the combined
statements of operations as follows:

In connection with the Formation, the Company entered into
several service agreements with Infineon. As a result, costs are
no longer allocated after the Formation, but rather charged on
the basis of these agreements (see note 13).
For periods prior to the Formation, the income tax expense
reflected in the accompanying combined and consolidated
financial statements has been calculated as if the Company had
filed separate tax returns for each of the years presented. The
Companys future effective tax rate after the Formation may
differ from those indicated in the accompanying combined and
consolidated financial statements prior to the Formation.

|
Investments by and Advances from Infineon |
Because a direct ownership relationship did not exist among the
various entities comprising the Memory Products business prior
to the Formation, Infineons investments in and advances to
the Memory Products business represent Infineons interest
in the recorded net assets of the Memory Products business, and
are shown as business equity in lieu of shareholders
equity in the combined financial statements. Prior to the
Formation, net income (loss) of the Memory Products
business forms part of business equity (investments by and
advances from Infineon). Subsequent to the Formation net income
(loss) is attributed to retained earnings since the Company
exists as a separate legal entity. The effects of equity
transactions prior to Formation are included in
Investments by and advances from Infineon in the
accompanying combined and consolidated financial statements. At
the Formation, net
15
Qimonda AG and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Combined and Consolidated
Financial Statements
(euro in millions, except where otherwise stated)
investments by and advances from Infineon were contributed to
the company as equity, which is reflected as share capital and
as additional paid in capital in the accompanying combined and
consolidated statement of business/shareholders equity.
All inter-company transactions, including purchases of
inventory, charges and cost allocations for facilities,
functions and services performed by Infineon for the Memory
Products business are reflected in this amount.
The preparation of the accompanying combined and consolidated
financial statements requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, as well as disclosure of contingent amounts and
liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods
presented. Actual results could differ materially from such
estimates made by management. In addition, due to the
significant relationship between Infineon and the Company, the
terms of the carve-out transactions, the allocations and
estimations of assets and liabilities and of expenses and other
transactions between the Memory Products business and Infineon
may not be the same as those that would have resulted from
transactions among unrelated third parties. Management believes
that the assumptions underlying the combined and consolidated
financial statements are reasonable. However, these
transactions, allocations and estimates may not be indicative of
actual results that would have been obtained if the Company had
operated on a stand-alone basis, nor are they indicative of
future transactions or of the expenses or results of operations
of the Company. In addition, the process of preparing the
combined and consolidated financial statements does not permit
the revaluation of historical transactions to attempt to
introduce an arms-length relationship where one did not
exist at the time. Management believes that it is not
practicable to estimate what the actual costs of the Company
would have been on a stand-alone basis if it had operated as an
unaffiliated entity. Rather than allocating the expenses that
Infineon actually incurred on behalf of the Memory Products
business, management would have had to choose from a wide range
of estimates and assumptions that could have been made regarding
joint overhead, joint financing, shared processes and other
matters. Any of these assumptions may have led to unreliable
results and would not have been more useful as an indicator of
historical business development and performance than the methods
employed in preparing the combined and consolidated financial
statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 154, Accounting
Changes and Error Corrections. SFAS No. 154
replaces the Accounting Principles Board (APB)
Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and
SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in
Interim Financial Statements, and changes the requirements
for the accounting and reporting of a change in accounting
principle. The Company adopted SFAS No. 154 on
October 1, 2006. The adoption of SFAS No. 154 did
not have a significant impact on the Companys consolidated
financial position or results of operations.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation 48,
Accounting for Income Tax Uncertainties which
defines the threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax return
positions in the financial statements as
more-likely-than-not to be sustained by the taxing
authority. The recently issued literature also provides guidance
on the derecognition, measurement and classification of income
tax uncertainties, along with any related interest and
penalties. Interpretation No. 48 also includes guidance
concerning accounting for income tax uncertainties in interim
periods and increases the level of disclosures associated with
any recorded income tax uncertainties. Interpretation
No. 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2006. The differences between the amounts
recognized in the statements of financial position prior to the
adoption of Interpretation No. 48 and the amounts reported
after adoption will be accounted for as a cumulative-effect
adjustment recorded to the beginning balance of retained
earnings. The Company is in the process of determining the
impact, if any, that the adoption of Interpretation No. 48
will have on its consolidated financial position and results of
operations.
In September 2006, the FASB released SFAS No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements, which provides
guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities.
SFAS No. 157 defines fair value,
16
Qimonda AG and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Combined and Consolidated
Financial Statements
(euro in millions, except where otherwise stated)
establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally
accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about
fair value measurements. The standard also responds to
investors requests for more information about the extent
to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value,
the information used to measure fair value, and the effect that
fair value measurements have on earnings. SFAS No. 157
will apply whenever another standard requires (or permits)
assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The standard
does not expand the use of fair value to any new circumstances.
SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements
issued for financial years beginning after November 15,
2007, and interim periods within those financial years.
SFAS No. 157 is effective for the Company for
financial years beginning after October 1, 2008, and
interim periods within those financial years. The Company is in
the process of evaluating the impact that the adoption of
SFAS No. 157 will have on its consolidated financial
position and results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158
Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension
and Other Postretirement Plans an amendment of FASB
Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R), which
requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded
status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a
multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of
financial position and to recognize changes in that funded
status in the year in which the changes occur through
comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in
unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization
(Recognition Provision). SFAS No. 158 also
requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as
of the date of its year-end statement of financial position,
with limited exceptions (Measurement Date
Provision). The Company currently measures the funded
status of its plans annually on June 30. The Recognition
Provision of SFAS No. 158 is effective for the Company
as of the end of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2007,
and the Measurement Date Provision is effective for the Company
as of the end of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2009.
As of September 30, 2006 the application of the Recognition
Provision of SFAS No. 158 would have resulted in an
increase in other long-term liabilities of
7, an increase in
non-current deferred tax assets of
3 and an increase in
accumulated other comprehensive loss of
4. The Company does
not expect the application of the Measurement Date Provision of
SFAS No. 158 annually on September 30 to have a
significant impact on its results of operations or financial
position.
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of
Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in
Current Year Financial Statements.
SAB No. 108 provides interpretive guidance on how the
effects of prior-year uncorrected misstatements should be
considered when quantifying misstatements in the current year
financial statements. SAB No. 108 requires registrants
to quantify misstatements using both an income statement
(rollover) and balance sheet (iron
curtain) approach and evaluate whether either approach
results in a misstatement that, when all relevant quantitative
and qualitative factors are considered, is material. If prior
year errors that had been previously considered immaterial now
are considered material based on either approach, no restatement
is required so long as management properly applied its previous
approach and all relevant facts and circumstances were
considered. If prior years are not restated, the cumulative
effect adjustment is recorded in opening accumulated earnings
(deficit) as of the beginning of the year of adoption.
SAB No. 108 is effective for fiscal years ending on or
after November 15, 2006, with earlier adoption encouraged.
The Company does not expect that the adoption of
SAB No. 108 will have a significant impact on its
consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159
The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities including an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115. SFAS No. 159 permits
entities to choose to measure certain financial assets and
liabilities and other eligible items at fair value, which are
not otherwise currently required to be measured at fair value.
Under SFAS No. 159, the decision to measure items at
fair value is made at specified election dates on an irrevocable
instrument-by-instrument basis. Entities electing the fair value
option would be required to recognize changes in fair value in
earnings and to expense upfront cost and fees associated with
the item for which the fair value option is elected. Entities
electing the fair value option are required to distinguish on
the face of the statement of financial position, the fair value
of assets and liabilities for which the fair value option has
been elected and similar assets and liabilities measured using
another measurement attribute. If elected,
SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of the
first fiscal year that begins after Novem-
17
Qimonda AG and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Combined and Consolidated
Financial Statements
(euro in millions, except where otherwise stated)
ber 15, 2007, with earlier adoption permitted provided that
the entity also early adopts all of the requirements of
SFAS No. 157. The Company is currently evaluating
whether to elect the option provided for in this standard.

In the three and six months ended March 31, 2007, the
Companys effective tax rate was lower than the combined
German statutory tax rate of 39%. This resulted from income in
jurisdictions with lower than average corporate tax rates. In
the three and six months ended March 31, 2006, the
effective tax rate did not fully reflect the income and loss,
respectively, for the period due to deferred tax benefits that
could not be recognized, because for certain jurisdictions
losses prior to the Formation could not be used to offset
taxable income after the Formation.
In China, as a result of enacted tax reform legislation, a new
uniform income tax regime will become effective from
January 1, 2008. The Company is evaluating the implications
of these changes on its effective tax rate and deferred tax
assets and liabilities.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share |
Basic earnings (loss) per share (EPS) is
calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted
average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.
In connection with the Formation, the ordinary shares
outstanding were increased to 300 million owned by Infineon
(see note 1). Accordingly, all applicable references to the
number of ordinary shares and per share information for periods
prior to the Formation have been restated to reflect the
300 million ordinary shares outstanding. On August 9,
2006 the Company completed its IPO on the New York Stock
Exchange through the issuance of 42 million ordinary
shares, which are traded as American Depositary Shares (ADSs).
The Company did not have any potentially dilutive instruments
outstanding for the three and six months ended
March 31, 2006. On November 24, 2006 the Company
granted 1.9 million stock options pursuant to the Qimonda
Stock Option Plan (see note 10). None of these options were
dilutive
18

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Combined and Consolidated
Financial Statements
(euro in millions, except where otherwise stated)
to EPS for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007.
According to the provisions of FAS 123(R) the Company accounts
for potentially dilutive effects from this stock-based
compensation program.
The computation of basic and diluted EPS for the three and six
months ended March 31, 2006 and 2007 is as follows (shares

In connection with the Formation, Infineon and Qimonda entered
into a trust agreement under which Infineon placed the Inotera
shares in trust for the Company until the shares could legally
be transferred. In March 2007, the Inotera shares (except for a
portion representing less than 1% of the total shares) were
transferred to Qimonda. The Inotera shares remain subject to
Taiwanese lock-up provisions related to the Inotera IPO through
January 2008, after which the remaining shares are to be
transferred to Qimonda.
If Infineon were to reduce its shareholding in the Company to a
minority level before the earlier of the fifth anniversary of
the Formation and the achievement of early mass production using
58nm process technology at its manufacturing site in Dresden,
the joint venture agreement with Nanya, as amended, could
require Qimonda to transfer these Inotera shares to Infineon.
The Company agreed
19
Qimonda AG and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Combined and Consolidated
Financial Statements
(euro in millions, except where otherwise stated)
with Infineon that, in this event, it would retransfer the
Inotera shares back to the trust. The trust agreement provides
for Infineon to again hold the Inotera shares in trust for
Qimonda until they could be retransferred back to the Company.
Hwa-Keng, a Taiwanese company, was formed for the purpose of
facilitating the distribution of Inotera shares to
Inoteras employees. As a result of the Inotera IPO,
Hwa-Kengs business purpose has been fulfilled and
therefore it has been dissolved. The dissolution did not have a
significant financial impact on the Company.
The limited partnership agreement relating to AMTC and BAC
requires prior written consent from the other partners before
Infineon can assign its partnership interest. In the case of a
transfer to an affiliate, such as Qimonda, the consent may not
be unreasonably withheld, but the interest must be transferred
back to Infineon should Infineon cease to be the majority
shareholder. Infineon is currently in the process of negotiating
with AMD and Toppan with the goal of reaching an agreement that
would allow the Company to retain the interest even if Infineon
ceases to be the majority shareholder.
On November 13, 2006 the Company sold its investment in
Ramtron through a private placement. As a result of the sale,
the Company recorded a gain of
2 as part of other
non-operating income during the three months ended
December 31, 2006.

Infineon Stock Option Plans |
In periods prior to the Formation, certain of the Companys
employees were granted Infineon stock options as Infineon
employees pursuant to Infineons stock option plans. The
aggregate number of such options outstanding were
13.9 million and 10.0 million (of which
8.0 million and 6.9 million were exercisable) as of
March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2007, respectively. If
such options are exercised, the employees are to be given
Infineon shares in exchange for payment of the exercise price to
Infineon. Accordingly, such options do not represent potential
dilutive instruments to the Company.
|
|
|
Fair value disclosures of Infineon Stock Option
Plans |
Effective October 1, 2005, the Company adopted
SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) under the modified
prospective application method, and accounts for stock option
grants to its employees under the Infineon stock option plans
according to the fair value method of SFAS No. 123
(revised 2004) from that date.
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the grant
date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Prior to the
adoption of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), the Company
relied on historical volatility measures when estimating the
fair value of stock options granted to employees. Following the
implementation of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004),
Infineon uses a combination of implied volatilities from traded
options on Infineons stock and historical volatility when
estimating the fair value of stock options granted to employees,
as it believes that this methodology better reflects the
expected future volatility of its stock. The expected life of
options granted is estimated based on historical experience.
Beginning on the date of adoption of SFAS No. 123
(revised 2004), forfeitures are estimated based on historical
experience; prior to the date of adoption, forfeitures were
recorded as they occurred. The risk-free rate is based on
treasury note yields at the time of grant for the estimated life
of the option. Infineon has not granted stock options to Qimonda
employees after March 1, 2006.
The following weighted-average assumptions were used in the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model for options granted during
the period indicated:

Qimonda Stock Option Plan |
On November 24, 2006, the Company granted 1,899,200 Qimonda
stock options to employees and the management board of the
Company. In addition, the supervisory board received 30,000
stock appreciation rights with the same conditions as Qimonda
stock options, except that they can only be settled in cash if
exercised, which results in their classification as a liability.
The option rights may be exercised within six years after their
grant, but not before the expiration of a vesting period that
will be at least three years. The exercise of each option is
subject to the condition that the performance of the
Companys ADSs on the New York Stock Exchange exceeds that
of the Philadelphia Semiconductor Sector (SOX) Index on at
least three consecutive days.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the grant
date using a specific Monte Carlo simulation based
option-pricing model. This model accounts for vesting conditions
relating to the SOX Index and its impact on fair value.
Following the implementation of SFAS No. 123(R), the
Company uses a combination of implied and historical
volatilities from traded options on the Companys peer
group when estimating the fair value of stock options granted to
employees, as it believes that this methodology better reflects
the expected future volatility of its stock. The peer group is a
group of publicly listed companies deemed to reflect
fundamentals of the Companys stock. Forfeitures are
estimated based on historical experience. The expected life and
expected vesting period of options granted are estimated based
on the simulation. The risk-free rate is based on treasury note
yields at the time of grant for the estimated life of the option.
The following assumptions were used in the Monte Carlo
simulation to determine the fair value of options granted during
the period:

The amount of stock-based compensation cost which was
capitalized and remained in inventories during the period ended
March 31, 2007 was immaterial. Stock-based compensation
expense does not reflect income tax benefits, since stock
options are primarily granted in tax jurisdictions where the
expense is not deductible for tax purposes. In addition,
stock-based compensation expense did not have a cash flow effect
during the six months ended March 31, 2007, since no
exercises of stock options occurred during the period. As of
March 31, 2007, for Infineon related stock options there
was a total of 4 in
unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock
options which is expected to be recognized over a remaining
total period of 3.0 years, and for Qimonda related stock
options there was a total of
5 in unrecognized
compensation expense related to unvested stock options which is
expected to be recognized over a remaining total period of
2.66 years.
As noted above, options on Infineon stock do not represent
potential dilutive instruments for Qimonda AG and accordingly,
they have no impact on diluted earnings (loss) per share
(see note 4). The Qimonda stock options did not cause a
dilutive effect in the period ended March 31, 2007 (see
note 4).

development center in France from the Memory Products business
to the Logic business of Infineon. The net book value of
10 was reflected as a
non-cash reduction to business equity as of October 1, 2005.
13. Related Parties
The Company has transactions in the normal course of business
with Infineon group companies, Siemens group companies and with
Related and Associated Companies (together, Related
Parties). The Company purchases certain of its raw
materials, especially chipsets from, and sells certain of its
products to, Related Parties. Purchases and sales to Related
Parties are generally based on market prices or manufacturing
cost plus a mark-up. Contributions by Infineon in connection
with the Formation and allocations by Infineon prior to that
date are explained in note 1. On April 3, 2006,
Siemens disposed of its remaining shareholding in Infineon.
Transactions between Qimonda and Siemens subsequent to this date
are no longer reflected as Related Party transactions.
Related Party receivables at September 30, 2006 and

Purchases from Infineon during the three and six months ended
March 31, 2006 and 2007 principally relate to products
purchased from the 200mm front-end manufacturing facility
located in Dresden, Germany (the Dresden 200mm Fab)
and are based on Infineons cost plus a margin.
Also included in purchases from Infineon are purchased services
under several service agreements entered into with Infineon in
conjunction with the Formation. These include general support
services (including sales support, logistics services,
purchasing services, human resources services, facility
management services, patent support, finance, accounting and
treasury support, legal services and strategy services), R&D
services and IT services. Transactions under these agreements
during the

In connection with the Formation, the Company entered into a
global service agreement with Infineon, whereby the parties
intend to provide standard support services to one another based
on actual costs plus a margin of 3 percent. The Company and
Infineon have also entered into a research and development
services agreement for the provision of research and development
services between the parties based on actual cost plus a margin
of 3 percent.
Under the master information technology cost sharing agreement,
Infineon and the Company generally agree to share costs of a
variety of information technology services provided by one or
both parties in the common interest and for the common benefit
of both parties. In general, the parties agree to share the
fixed costs of the services provided (accounting for
approximately 53% of total costs) roughly equally and to share
variable costs in a manner that reflects each partys
contribution to those costs. Under the master information
technology service agreement, Infineon and the Company agree to
provide information technology services to one another. In
general, under all of these agreements, the service recipient
pays a fee based on actual or estimated total costs incurred
plus a margin of 3% for the period from October 1, 2006 to
September 30, 2007 and thereafter as mutually agreed from
year to year.
In April 2006, Infineon and Qimonda entered into an agreement
for the production of wafers in the Dresden 200mm Fab. Pursuant
to the agreement, Infineon has agreed to manufacture certain
specified semiconductor memory products at the Dresden 200mm
Fab, using the Companys manufacturing technologies and
masks, and to sell them to the Company at prices specified in
the agreement. The Company is required under this agreement to
pay for idle costs resulting from its purchasing fewer wafers
from Infineon than agreed upon, if Infineon cannot otherwise
utilize the capacity. The Company is obliged to indemnify
Infineon against any third party claims based on or related to
any products manufactured for the Company under this agreement.
In addition, the Company is required to indemnify Infineon
against any intellectual property infringement claims related to
the products covered by the agreement. On January 26, 2007
Qimonda and Infineon extended their agreement for the production
of wafers in the Dresden 200mm Fab through September 30,
2009.
In addition, in the contribution agreement Infineon and Qimonda
agreed to share equally any potential restructuring costs
incurred in connection with the rampdown of production in the
Dresden 200mm Fab. Restructuring costs may include severance
payments and costs relating to lower levels of production in the
Dresden 200mm Fab. Although no restructuring plan has been
established or is currently anticipated, these costs could be
material and adversely affect the Companys financial
condition and results of operations.
14. Pension Plans
In February 2007, the Company established a uniform Qimonda
Pension Plan for Germany (Domestic plans) with
effect from October 1, 2006. The plan qualifies as a
defined benefit plan and, accordingly, the change from the
previous defined benefit plans is treated as a plan amendment
pursuant to SFAS No. 87. The Company believes that the
impact of this pension plan amendment on projected benefit
obligations and net periodic pension costs is immaterial. The
Company will measure
26
Qimonda AG and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Combined and Consolidated
Financial Statements
(euro in millions, except where otherwise stated)
the pension obligations on its regular measurement date
June 30, 2007 and report the related effects, if any, in
the three months ending September 30, 2007.
In foreign countries the Companys employees participate in
the pension plans of Infineon until they are transferred to the
Companys pension plans (collectively, Foreign
plans). The pension costs and liabilities included in the
accompanying combined and consolidated financial statements and
presented below include the portion of the Infineon pension
costs and liabilities that relate to the Companys
employees participating in the respective Infineon pension plans.
The components of net periodic pension cost for the three and
six months ended March 31, 2006 and 2007 are as follows:

Qimonda contributed 0
and 1, respectively,
to fund its pension plans during the three and six months ended
March 31, 2007. During the three and six months ended
March 31, 2006, the Company did not contribute funds to its
pension plans for periods prior to the Formation.
15. Financial Instruments
The Company periodically enters into financial instrument
contracts, including foreign currency forward contracts and
foreign currency options. The objective of these transactions is
to reduce the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on the
Companys foreign currency denominated net future cash
flows. The Company does not enter into derivatives for trading
or speculative purposes.
Prior to the Formation, the financial instruments of the Company
refer to those financial instruments that were specifically
identified with the Memory Products business. Derivative
contracts that Infineon entered into for group or corporate
purposes were not allocated to the Memory Products business for
purposes of the accompanying combined financial statements for
periods prior to the Formation, because there was no reasonable
allocation basis.

Contingencies
|
|
|
Contribution from Infineon |
These contingencies described below were assigned to the Company
pursuant to the contribution agreement entered into between
Infineon and the Company in connection with the Formation.
Under the contribution agreement, the Company is required to
indemnify Infineon, in whole or in part as specified below, for
any claim (including any related expenses) arising in connection
with the liabilities, contracts, offers, uncompleted
transactions, continuing obligations, risks, encumbrances and
other liabilities Infineon incurs in connection with the matters
described below.
The contribution agreement is based on the principle that all
potential liabilities and risks in connection with legal matters
existing as of the Formation date are generally to be borne by
the business unit which caused the risk or liability or where
the risk or liability arose. Except to the limited extent
described below for the securities class action litigation and
the settled Tessera litigation (for which the Company has
different arrangements), the Company has agreed to indemnify
Infineon for all liabilities arising in connection with all
legal matters specifically described below, including court
costs and legal fees. Infineon will not settle or otherwise
agree to any of these liabilities without the Companys
prior consent. Liabilities and risks relating to the securities
class action litigation, including court costs, will be equally
shared by Infineon and the Company, but only with respect to the
amount by which
28
Qimonda AG and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Combined and Consolidated
Financial Statements
(euro in millions, except where otherwise stated)
the total amount payable exceeds the amount of the corresponding
accrual that Infineon transferred to the Company at the
formation. Infineon has agreed not to settle this lawsuit
without the Companys prior consent. Any expenses incurred
in connection with the assertion of claims against the provider
of directors and officers (D & O) insurance
covering Infineons two current or former officers named as
defendants in the suit will also be equally shared. The D &
O insurance provider has so far refused coverage. The Company
has agreed to indemnify Infineon for 80% of the court costs and
legal fees relating to the recently settled litigation with
Tessera.
The Company has further agreed to pay 60% of the total license
fees payable by Infineon and the Company to which Infineon and
the Company may agree in connection with two cases in which
negotiations relating to licensing and cross-licensing were
ongoing at the time of the Formation, one of which is still
ongoing.
In accordance with the general principle that all potential
risks or liabilities are to be borne by the entity which caused
the risk or liability or where the risk or liability arose, the
indemnification provisions of the contribution agreement include
the following specific allocation keys with respect to claims or
lawsuits arising after the Formation:
|
|
|
|
|
liabilities arising in connection with intellectual property
infringement claims relating to memory products were fully
allocated to the Company. |
|
|
|
liabilities arising in connection with actual or alleged
antitrust violations with respect to DRAM products were fully
allocated to the Company. |
In September 2004, Infineon entered into a plea agreement with
the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice
(DOJ) in connection with its investigation of
alleged antitrust violations in the DRAM industry. Pursuant to
this plea agreement, Infineon agreed to plead guilty to a single
count of conspiring with other unspecified DRAM manufacturers to
fix the prices of DRAM products between July 1, 1999 and
June 15, 2002, and to pay a fine of $160 million. The
fine plus accrued interest is to be paid in equal annual
installments through 2009. On October 25, 2004, the plea
agreement was accepted by the U.S. District Court for the
Northern District of California. Therefore, the matter has been
fully resolved as between Infineon and the DOJ, subject to
Infineons obligation to cooperate with the DOJ in its
ongoing investigation of other participants in the DRAM
industry. The price fixing charges by the DOJ related to
DRAM-product sales to six Original Equipment Manufacturer
(OEM) customers that manufacture computers and
servers. Infineon has entered into settlement agreements with
five of these OEM customers and is considering the possibility
of a settlement with the remaining OEM customer, which purchased
only a very small volume of DRAM products from Infineon.
Subsequent to the commencement of the DOJ investigation, a
number of putative class action lawsuits were filed against
Infineon, its principal U.S. subsidiary and other DRAM suppliers.
Sixteen cases were filed between June 21, 2002 and
September 19, 2002 in the following U.S. federal district
courts: one in the Southern District of New York, five in the
District of Idaho, and ten in the Northern District of
California. Each of the federal district court cases purports to
be on behalf of a class of individuals and entities who
purchased DRAM directly from various DRAM suppliers in the
United States of America during a specified time period, which
was originally alleged to have commenced on or after
October 1, 2001 (Direct U.S. Purchaser Class).
The complaints allege price-fixing in violation of the Sherman
Act and seek treble damages in unspecified amounts, costs,
attorneys fees, and an injunction against the allegedly
unlawful conduct.
In September 2002, the Judicial Panel on Multi-District
Litigation ordered that the foregoing federal cases be
transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District
of California for coordinated or consolidated pre-trial
proceedings as part of a Multi-District Litigation
(MDL). In October 2003 and June 2005, the plaintiffs
filed amended complaints, which together allege that the
unlawful conduct commenced on approximately April 1, 1999
and continued through at least June 30, 2002. On
June 5, 2006, the Court issued an order certifying a direct
purchaser class.

Qimonda AG and Subsidiaries

(euro in millions, except where otherwise stated)
In September 2005, Infineon and its principal U.S. subsidiary
entered into a definitive settlement agreement with counsel to
the Direct U.S. Purchaser Class (subject to approval by the U.S.
District Court for the Northern District of California and to an
opportunity for individual class members to opt out of the
settlement) and has secured individual settlements with eight
direct customers in addition to those OEMs identified by the
DOJ. Under the terms of the settlement agreement Infineon agreed
to pay approximately $21 million. The Company recorded a
corresponding charge to other operating expense during the year
ended September 30, 2005. In addition to this settlement
payment, Infineon agreed to pay an additional amount if it is
proven that sales of DRAM products to the settlement class after
opt-outs during the settlement period exceeded
$208.1 million. The Company would also be responsible for
this payment. The additional amount payable is calculated by
multiplying the amount by which these sales exceed
$208.1 million by 10.53%. The Company does not currently
expect to pay any additional amount to the class. Before or on
October 3, 2006, a number of individuals and entities gave
notice that they were opting out of the Direct U.S. Purchaser
Class and settlements. The opt-out companies who have sued
Infineon to date are Unisys Corporation, Honeywell
International, Inc., All American Semiconductor Inc., Edge
Electronics, Inc., Jaco Electronics, Inc., and the DRAM Claims
Liquidation Trust, by its Trustee, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (all
described below).
The settlement was approved on November 1, 2006. The Court
entered final judgment and dismissed the class action claims
with prejudice on November 2, 2006. The Court retained
jurisdiction over the distribution of settlements amounts to the
class and disposition of the settlement fund.
On April 28, 2006, Unisys Corporation filed a complaint
against Infineon and its principal U.S. subsidiary, among other
DRAM suppliers, alleging state and federal claims for price
fixing and seeking recovery as both a direct and indirect
purchaser of DRAM. Unisys subsequently filed a consolidated
complaint with another plaintiff Sun Microsystems, Inc., against
the Infineon entities and other defendants, naming Infineon and
its principal U.S. subsidiary as defendants only as to the
claims by Unisys, and not the claims by Sun, with which Infineon
reached a settlement agreement in the financial year 2004/2005.
On May 5, 2006, Honeywell International, Inc. filed a
complaint against Infineon and its principal U.S. subsidiary,
among other DRAM suppliers, alleging a claim for price fixing
under federal law, and seeking recovery as a direct purchaser of
DRAM. Infineons principal U.S. subsidiary was served with
the Honeywell complaint on August 23, 2006. Infineon waived
service of the Honeywell complaint. Infineons principal
U.S. subsidiary was served with the Unisys complaint on
September 8, 2006. Infineon agreed to waive service in
exchange for an extended response date of December 5, 2006
for both Infineon entities. Both of these complaints were filed
in the Northern District of California, and have been related to
the MDL described above. On December 5, 2006, Infineon and
its principal U.S subsidiary, along with the other defendants,
jointly filed a motion to dismiss portions of the Unisys
complaint. Infineon and its principal U.S. subsidiary have
concluded documentation of a resolution with Honeywell that will
result in dismissal of its lawsuit against Infineon. Between
February 28, 2007 and March 8, 2007 four more opt-out
cases were filed by All American Semiconductor, Inc., Edge
Electronics, Inc., Jaco Electronics, Inc. and DRAM Claims
Liquidation Trust, by its Trustee, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. The
All American Semiconductor complaint alleges claims for
price-fixing under the Sherman Act. The Edge Electronics, Jaco
Electronics and DRAM Claims Liquidation Trust complaints allege
state and federal claims for price-fixing. All four of these
cases were filed in the Northern District and have been related
to the MDL described above. Infineons principal U.S.
subsidiary was served with a summons in the DRAM Claims
Liquidation Trust case, and has received an extension of time to
respond to the complaint until April 18, 2007. Infineon has
not yet formally accepted service of the DRAM Claims Liquidation
Trust case. Neither Infineon nor its principal U.S. subsidiary
have yet received service or waived service of the All American
Semiconductor, Jaco Electronics or Edge Electronics complaints.
As with Unisys and Honeywell, the claims of these plaintiffs are
not barred by Infineons settlement with the Direct U.S.
Purchaser Class, since they opted out of the Direct U.S.
Purchaser Class and settlement before or on October 3, 2006.
Sixty-four additional cases were filed between August 2,
2002 and October 12, 2005 in numerous federal and state
courts throughout the United States of America. Each of these
state and federal cases (except a case filed in the U.S.
District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania in May
2005 on behalf of foreign purchasers) purports to be on behalf
of a class of individuals and entities who indirectly
30
Qimonda AG and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Combined and Consolidated
Financial Statements
(euro in millions, except where otherwise stated)
purchased DRAM in the United States of America during specified
time periods commencing in or after 1999. The Eastern District
of Pennsylvania case purporting to be on behalf of a class of
foreign individuals and entities who directly purchased DRAM
outside of the United States of America from July 1999 through
at least June 2002, was dismissed with prejudice and without
leave to amend on March 1, 2006. Plaintiffs in that case
have filed a notice of appeal. On July 31, 2006, plaintiffs
filed their opening brief on appeal, and defendants filed their
joint opening brief on September 20, 2006. No hearing date
has yet been scheduled for the appeal. The complaints variously
allege violations of the Sherman Act, Californias
Cartwright Act, various other state laws, unfair competition law
and unjust enrichment and seek treble damages in generally
unspecified amounts, restitution, costs, attorneys fees
and an injunction against the allegedly unlawful conduct. The
California state cases were ordered transferred for coordinated
and consolidated pre-trial proceedings to the San Francisco
County Superior Court.
Subsequently, twenty-three of the state (outside California) and
federal court cases and the U.S. District Court for the Eastern
District of Pennsylvania case were ordered transferred to the
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California for
coordinated and consolidated pre-trial proceedings as part of
the MDL described above. After this transfer, the plaintiffs
dismissed two of the transferred cases. Two additional
transferred cases were subsequently remanded back to their
relevant state courts. Nineteen of the twenty-three transferred
cases are currently pending in the MDL. Further, the proceedings
of the plaintiffs in the indirect purchaser cases originated
outside California which have not been transferred to the MDL
are stayed in favor of proceedings on the indirect purchaser
cases pending as part of the MDL-proceedings. The defendants
have filed two motions for judgment on the pleadings directed at
several of the claims. A hearing on those motions took place on
December 6, 2006. The court has not yet ruled on these
motions. After these have been decided the indirect purchaser
plaintiffs in the case that is part of the MDL proceedings will
have the opportunity to file any motion for class certification.
On July 13, 2006, the New York state attorney general filed
an action in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District
of New York against Infineon, its principal U.S subsidiary and
several other DRAM manufacturers on behalf of New York
governmental entities and New York consumers who purchased
products containing DRAM beginning in 1998. The plaintiffs
allege violations of state and federal antitrust laws arising
out of the same allegations of DRAM price-fixing and artificial
price inflation practices discussed above, and seek recovery of
actual and treble damages in unspecified amounts, penalties,
costs (including attorneys fees) and injunctive and other
equitable relief. On October 23, 2006, the New York case
was made part of the MDL proceedings. On July 14, 2006, the
attorneys general of California, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas,
Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa,
Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota,
Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio,
Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee,
Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia and
Wisconsin filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the
Northern District of California against Infineon, its principal
U.S. subsidiary and several other DRAM manufacturers on behalf
of governmental entities, consumers and businesses in each of
those states who purchased products containing DRAM beginning in
1998. On September 8, 2006, the complaint was amended to
add claims by the attorneys general of Kentucky, Maine, New
Hampshire, North Carolina, the Northern Mariana Islands and
Rhode Island. This action is based on state and federal law
claims relating to the same alleged anticompetitive practices in
the sale of DRAM and plaintiffs seek recovery of actual and
treble damages in unspecified amounts, penalties, costs
(including attorneys fees) and injunctive and other
relief. Infineon and its principal U.S. subsidiary were served
with the New York complaint on July 13, 2006, and served
with the New York summons on September 29, 2006. Service of
the California (multi-state) complaint and summons was made on
July 14, 2006. On October 10, 2006 Infineon joined the
other defendants in filing motions to dismiss several of the
claims alleged in these two actions. A hearing on these motions
to dismiss was held on February 7, 2007. The court has not
yet ruled on these motions.
In April 2003, Infineon received a request for information from
the European Commission (the Commission) to enable
the Commission to assess the compatibility with the
Commissions rules on competition of certain practices of
which the Commission has become aware in the European market for
DRAM products. Infineon has reassessed the matter after its plea
agreement with the DOJ and
31
Qimonda AG and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Combined and Consolidated
Financial Statements
(euro in millions, except where otherwise stated)
made an accrual during the 2004 financial year for an amount
representing the probable minimum fine that may be imposed as a
result of the Commissions investigation. Any fine actually
imposed by the Commission may be significantly higher than the
reserve established, although Infineon cannot more accurately
estimate the amount of such actual fine. Infineon is fully
cooperating with the Commission in its investigation.
In May 2004, the Canadian Competition Bureau advised
Infineons principal U.S. subsidiary that it, its
affiliated companies and present and past directors, officers
and employees are among the targets of a formal inquiry into an
alleged conspiracy to prevent or lessen competition unduly in
the production, manufacture, sale or supply of DRAM, contrary to
the Canadian Competition Act. No compulsory process (such as
subpoenas) has been commenced. Infineon is cooperating with the
Competition Bureau in its inquiry.
Between December 2004 and February 2005, two putative class
proceedings were filed in the Canadian province of Quebec and
one was filed in each of Ontario and British Columbia against
Infineon, its principal U.S. subsidiary and other DRAM
manufacturers on behalf of all direct and indirect purchasers
resident in Canada who purchased DRAM or products containing
DRAM between July 1999 and June 2002, seeking damages,
investigation and administration costs, as well as interest and
legal costs. Plaintiffs primarily allege conspiracy to unduly
restrain competition and to illegally fix the price of DRAM. In
the British Columbia action, a hearing on the certification
motion has been scheduled for May 2007. In one Quebec class
action, preliminary motions are to be scheduled later in 2007;
the other Quebec action has been stayed pending developments in
the one that is going forward.
Between September 30, 2004 and November 4, 2004, seven
securities class action complaints were filed against Infineon
and three of its current or former officers (of which one
officer was subsequently dropped as a defendant and one of which
is currently the chairman of the Companys Supervisory
Board) in the U.S. District Courts for the Northern District of
California and the Southern District of New York. The plaintiffs
voluntarily dismissed the New York cases, and on June 30,
2005 filed a consolidated amended complaint in California on
behalf of a putative class of purchasers of Infineons
publicly-traded securities, who purchased them during the period
from March 13, 2000 to July 19, 2004, effectively
combining all lawsuits. The consolidated amended complaint added
Infineons principal U.S. subsidiary and four then-current
or former employees of Infineon and its affiliate as defendants.
It alleges violations of the U.S. securities laws and asserts
that the defendants made materially false and misleading public
statements about Infineons historical and projected
financial results and competitive position because they did not
disclose Infineons alleged participation in DRAM
price-fixing activities and that, by fixing the price of DRAM,
defendants manipulated the price of Infineons securities,
thereby injuring its shareholders. The plaintiffs seek
unspecified compensatory damages, interest, costs and
attorneys fees. Infineon, its principal U.S. subsidiary
and the two Infineon officers filed motions to dismiss the
consolidated amended complaint. In September 2006, the court
dismissed the complaint with leave to amend and in October 2006
the plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint. In March 2007
the plaintiffs have withdrawn the second amended complaint and
were granted a motion for leave to file a third amended
complaint. In the contribution agreement the Company entered
into with Infineon, the Company agreed to share any future
liabilities arising out of this lawsuit equally with Infineon,
including the cost of defending the suit.
Infineon believes these claims are without merit. The Company is
currently unable to provide an estimate of the likelihood of an
unfavorable outcome to Infineon or of the amount or range of
potential loss arising from these actions. If the outcome of
these actions is unfavorable or if Infineon incurs substantial
legal fees in defending these actions, it may have a material
adverse effect on the Companys financial condition and
results of operations. Infineons directors and
officers insurance carriers have denied coverage in the
securities class actions and Infineon filed suits against the
carriers in December 2005 and August 2006. Infineons claim
against one D&O insurance carrier was dismissed in November
2006 and Infineon filed an appeal against this decision.
Liabilities related to legal proceedings are recorded when it is
probable that a liability has been incurred and the associated
amount can be reasonably estimated. Where the estimated amount
of loss
32
Qimonda AG and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Combined and Consolidated
Financial Statements
(euro in millions, except where otherwise stated)
is within a range of amounts and no amount within the range is a
better estimate than any other amount or the range cannot be
estimated, the minimum amount is accrued. As of March 31,
2007, the Company had accrued liabilities in the amount of
114 related to
potential liabilities and risks with respect to the DOJ and
European antitrust investigations and the direct and indirect
purchaser litigation and settlements described above, as well as
for legal expenses relating to the securities class actions and
the Canadian antitrust investigation and litigation described
above. As additional information becomes available, the
potential liability related to these matters will be reassessed
and the estimates revised, if necessary. These accrued
liabilities would be subject to change in the future based on
new developments in each matter, or changes in circumstances,
which could have a material adverse effect on the Companys
results of operations and financial condition.
An adverse final resolution of the antitrust investigations or
related civil claims or the securities class action lawsuits
described above could result in substantial financial liability
to, and other adverse effects upon Infineon, and most likely the
Company, which would have a material adverse effect on the
Companys business, results of operations, financial
condition and cash flows. In each of these matters, the Company
is continuously evaluating the merits of its respective claims
and defending vigorously or seeking to arrive at alternative
resolutions in the best interests of the Company, as its deems
appropriate. Irrespective of the validity or the successful
assertion of the above referenced claims, the Company could
incur significant costs with respect to defending against or
settling such claims, which could have a material adverse effect
on its results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
The Company is subject to various other lawsuits, legal actions,
claims and proceedings related to products, patents and other
matters incidental to its businesses. The Company has accrued a
liability for the estimated costs of adjudication of various
asserted and unasserted claims existing as of the balance sheet
date. Based upon information presently known to management, the
Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of such
other pending matters will have a material adverse effect on the
Companys financial position, although the final resolution
of such matters could have a material adverse effect on the
Companys results of operations or cash flows at that time.
Infineon subsidiaries that were transferred to the Company as
part of the Formation have received government grants and
subsidies related to the construction and financing of certain
of its production facilities. These amounts are recognized upon
the attainment of specified criteria. Certain of these grants
have been received contingent upon the Company maintaining
compliance with certain project-related requirements for a
specified period after receipt. The Company is committed to
maintaining these requirements. Nevertheless, should such
requirements not be met, as of March 31, 2007, a maximum of
432 of these subsidies
could be refundable.
The Company has guarantees outstanding to external parties of
127 as of
March 31, 2007. Guarantees are mainly issued for the
payment of import duties, rentals of buildings, contingent
obligations related to government grants received and the
consolidated debt of subsidiaries. Such guarantees which relate
to Qimonda AG were transferred to the Company as part of the
Formation. The Company also agreed to indemnify Infineon against
any losses it may suffer under several guarantee and financing
arrangements that relate to its business but that could not be
transferred to it for legal, technical or practical reasons.
17. Operating Segment and
Geographic Information
The Company has one operating segment, Memory Products, which is
also its reportable segment, consistent with the manner in which
financial information is internally reported and used by the
Chief Operating Decision Maker for purposes of evaluating
business performance and allocating resources.

For practical purposes, the Rest of Europe region also includes
other countries and territories in the rest of the world outside
of the listed main geographic regions with aggregate sales
representing no more than 2% of total sales in any period.
The Company defines EBIT as earnings (loss) before interest and
taxes. The Companys management uses EBIT, among other
measures, to establish budgets and operational goals, to manage
the combined and consolidated Companys business and to
evaluate and report performance as part of the Infineon Group.
Because many operating decisions, such as allocations of
resources to individual projects, are made on a basis for which
the effects of financing the overall business and of taxation
are of marginal relevance, management finds a metric that
excludes the effects of interest on financing and tax expense
useful. In addition, in measuring operating performance,
particularly for the purpose of making internal decisions, such
as those relating to personnel matters, it is useful for
management to consider a measure that excludes items over which
the individuals being evaluated have minimal control, such as
enterprise-level taxation and financing. The Company reports
EBIT information because it believes that it provides investors
with meaningful information about the operating performance of
the Company in a manner similar to that which management uses to
assess and direct the business. EBIT is not a substitute for net
income, however, because the exclusion of interest and tax
expense is not appropriate when reviewing the overall
profitability of the Company.
EBIT is determined as follows from the combined and consolidated
statements of operations, without adjustment to the U.S. GAAP
amounts presented:

The above EBIT results prior to the Formation differ from the
Memory Products segment results previously reported by Infineon,
primarily due to allocations of Infineon corporate expenses
(reported by Infineon as part of its Corporate and
Reconciliation segment), since they arise from corporate
directed decisions not within the direct control of segment
management, which have been reallocated to the Company for
purposes of preparing the accompanying combined and consolidated
financial statements on a stand-alone basis.
18. Subsequent Events
On April 5, 2007, the court dismissed the Unisys complaint
with leave to amend for failing to give proper notice of its
claims. Unisys must file an amended complaint by May 4,
2007.
On April 10, 2007, Lin Packaging Technologies, Ltd. (Lin)
filed a lawsuit against Infineon Technologies AG, Infineon
Technologies North America Corp. and an additional DRAM
manufacturer in the U.S.
34
Qimonda AG and Subsidiaries

(euro in millions, except where otherwise stated)
District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, alleging that
certain DRAM products were infringing two Lin patents. On
April 16, 2007, Infineon Technologies North America Corp.
was served with the suit. Under the contribution agreement with
Infineon, the Company is required to indemnify Infineon for
claims (including any related expenses) arising in connection
with the aforementioned suit.
On April 25, 2007, the Company and SanDisk Corporation
entered into an agreement to jointly develop and manufacture
multichip packages (MCPs) utilizing SanDisks NAND flash
and controllers and Qimondas low power mobile DRAM. The
collaboration targets the fast growing need for high capacity,
integrated memory solutions of data-intensive mobile
applications. This agreement will be executed through a jointly
owned company based in Portugal, subject to the fulfilment of
certain closing conditions, in particular regulatory approvals.
On April 25, 2007, the Company announced plans to construct
a fully-owned 300mm front-end manufacturing facility in
Singapore. Depending on the growth and development of the world
semiconductor market, the Company plans to invest approximately
2 billion in the
facility over the next five years. The Company targets to
finance the initial capital expenditures for the building out of
its own cash flow and will utilize project-based financing
thereafter.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)
Gross and Net Cash Position
Qimonda defines gross cash position as cash and cash equivalents
and marketable securities, and net cash position as gross cash
position less short and long-term debt. Since after its
Formation, Qimonda holds a substantial portion of its available
monetary resources in the form of readily marketable securities,
which for U.S. GAAP purposes are not considered to be
cash, it reports its gross cash position to provide
investors with an understanding of its overall liquidity. The
gross and net cash positions are determined as follows from the
condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30,
2006 and March 31, 2007:

Return on Capital Employed (RoCE)
In addition to EBIT, the Qimonda management committed itself
from the 2007 financial year to put focus on measuring the
profitability of the Company compared to the capital that has
been required. Therefore the financial indicator Return on
Capital Employed (RoCE) was implemented to measure
this performance.
Earnings before interest, Capital Employed and RoCE are non-GAAP
financial measures. Reconciliations to the closest GAAP measures
net (loss) income, shareholders equity, and net
(loss) income to shareholders equity ratio,
respectively, are presented below. Capital Employed is the end
period shareholders equity less the net cash
(debt) position. RoCE is calculated as Earnings before
Interest (EBI) divided by Capital Employed. Quarterly RoCE
calculations are annualized for purposes of this ratio only,
which may exceed reported annual earnings and is not indicative
of expected earnings in any future period.
RoCE is determined as follows from the condensed consolidated
financial statements:

Free Cash Flow
Qimonda defines free cash flow as cash from operating and
investing activities excluding purchases or sales of marketable
securities. Free cash flow is not defined under U.S. GAAP and
may not be comparable with measures of the same or similar title
that are reported by other companies. Under SEC rules,
free cash flow is considered a non-GAAP financial
measure. It should not be
36
considered as a substitute for, or confused with, any U.S. GAAP
financial measure. We believe the most comparable U.S. GAAP
measure is net cash provided by operating activities. Since we
operate in a capital-intensive industry, we report free cash
flow to provide investors with a measure that can be used to
evaluate changes in liquidity after taking capital expenditures
into account. It is not intended to represent residual cash flow
available for discretionary expenditures, since debt service
requirements or other non-discretionary expenditures are not
deducted. The free cash flow is determined as follows from our
condensed combined and consolidated statements of cash flows:

As a company, we face numerous risks incidental to our business.
We face risks that are inherent to companies in the
semiconductor industry, as well as operational, financial and
regulatory risks that are unique to us. Risks relating to the
semiconductor industry include the cyclical nature of the
market, which suffers from periodic downturns and industry
overcapacity. Our production related risks include the need to
match our production capacity with demand, and to avoid
interruptions in manufacturing and supplies. We may be exposed
to claims from others that we infringe their intellectual
property rights or that we are liable for damages under
warranties. We are the subject of governmental antitrust
investigations and civil claims related to those antitrust
investigations. Financial risks include our need to have access
to sufficient capital and governmental subsidies, as well as
declines in our share price which may result in impairment
charges. Our regulatory risks include potential claims for
environmental remediation. We face numerous risks due to the
international nature of our business, including volatility in
foreign countries and exchange rate fluctuations.
These and other material risks that we face are described in
detail in the Risk Factors section of our annual
report on
Form 20-F for the
year ended September 30, 2006, which we have filed with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. A copy of our
Form 20-F is
available at the Investor Relations section of our website
http://www.qimonda.com, as well as on the SECs website,
http://www.sec.gov. We encourage you to read the detailed
description of the risks that we face in our
Form 20-F. The
occurrence of one or more of the events described in the Risk
Factors section of the
Form 20-F could
have a material adverse effect on our company and our results of
operations, which could result in a drop in our share price.
