In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated
condensed financial statements of Applied Materials, Inc. and
its subsidiaries (Applied or the Company) included herein have
been prepared on a basis consistent with the October 25,
2009 audited consolidated financial statements and include all
material adjustments, consisting of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary to fairly present the information set
forth therein. These unaudited interim consolidated condensed
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in Applied’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended October 25, 2009 (2009
Form 10-K).
Applied’s results of operations for the three months ended
January 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of future
operating results.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make judgments, estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ
materially from those estimates.
Applied’s fiscal year ends on the last Sunday in October of
each year. Fiscal 2010 contains 53 weeks, while fiscal 2009
contained 52 weeks, and the first fiscal quarter of 2010
contained 14 weeks, while the first fiscal quarter of 2009
contained 13 weeks.
Revenue
Recognition
Applied recognizes revenue when all four revenue recognition
criteria have been met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists; delivery has occurred or services have been rendered;
seller’s price to buyer is fixed or determinable; and
collectability is probable. Applied’s shipping terms are
customarily FOB Applied shipping point or equivalent terms.
Applied’s revenue recognition policy generally results in
revenue recognition at the following points: (1) for all
transactions where legal title passes to the customer upon
shipment, Applied recognizes revenue upon shipment for all
products that have been demonstrated to meet product
specifications prior to shipment; the portion of revenue
associated with certain installation-related tasks is deferred,
and that revenue is recognized upon completion of the
installation-related tasks; (2) for products that have not
been demonstrated to meet product specifications prior to
shipment, revenue is recognized at customer technical
acceptance; (3) for transactions where legal title does not
pass at shipment, revenue is recognized when legal title passes
to the customer, which is generally at customer technical
acceptance; (4) for arrangements initiated prior to
fiscal 2010 containing multiple elements, the revenue relating
to the undelivered elements is deferred at their estimated
relative fair values until delivery of the deferred elements;
and (5) for arrangements initiated or materially modified
during fiscal 2010 containing multiple elements, the revenue
relating to the undelivered elements is deferred using the
relative selling price method utilizing estimated sales prices
until delivery of the deferred elements. Applied limits the
amount of revenue recognition for delivered elements to the
amount that is not contingent on the future delivery of products
or services, future performance obligations or subject to
customer-specified return or adjustment. In cases where Applied
has sold products that have been demonstrated to meet product
specifications prior to shipment, Applied believe
