NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

March 31, 2004

 

NOTE A BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Trikon Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2004.

 

The balance sheet at December 31, 2003 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

 

NOTE B RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued interpretation No. 46 (“FIN 46”), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB 51.” The primary objectives of this interpretation are to provide guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than through voting rights (“variable interest entities or “VIEs”) and how to determine when and which business enterprise (the “primary beneficiary”) should consolidate the variable interest entity.

 

This new model for consolidation applies to an entity in which either (i) the equity investors (if any) do not have a controlling financial interest, or (ii) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without receiving additional subordinated financial support from other parties. In addition, FIN 46 requires that the primary beneficiary, as well as all other enterprises with a significant variable interest in a variable interest entity, make additional disclosures. Certain disclosure requirements of FIN 46 were effective for financial statements issued after January 31, 2003. In December 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46-R”) to address certain FIN 46 implementation issues.

 

The provisions of FIN 46 were applicable for variable interests in entities obtained after January 31, 2003. Since the Company does not have any VIEs, the adoption of the provisions applicable to special purpose entities (“SPE”) and all other variable interests obtained after January 31, 2003 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations, or liquidity.

 

Effective from January 1, 2004, the Company adopted the provisions of FIN 46-R applicable to Non-SPEs created prior to February 1, 2003. Adoption of FIN 46-R had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations, or liquidity.

Generally, the Company’s products are sold with a standard warranty, the period of which varies from 12 to 24 months, depending on a number of factors including the specific equipment purchased. The Company accounts for the estimated warranty cost as a charge to cost of sales at the time it recognizes revenue. The warranty cost is based upon historic product performance and is based on a rolling 12-month average of the historic cost per machine per warranty month outstanding.
