NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 27, 2008
(Unaudited)

 

1. Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States (U.S.) generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and applicable regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of financial position and results of operations have been included. Our operating results for the quarter and nine months ended June 27, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future quarters and the fiscal year ending September 26, 2008. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 28, 2007, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and the risk factors contained therein.

 

The preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires the use of estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and contingencies. These estimates include, but are not limited to, estimates related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, tangible and intangible long-lived asset valuation, warranty and other obligations, contingent liabilities and litigation. Estimates are updated on an ongoing basis and are evaluated based on historical experience and current circumstances. Changes in facts and circumstances in the future may give rise to changes in these estimates which may cause actual results to differ from current estimates.

 

Aviza Technology, Inc.’s (the “Company” or “Aviza”) current fiscal year will end on September 26, 2008 and includes 52 weeks. We close our fiscal quarters on the last Friday of December, March, June and September.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

3. Stock-Based Compensation

 

Effective October 1, 2005, we adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment , or SFAS 123(R). SFAS 123(R) establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. Accordingly, stock-based compensation cost is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period. The measurement of stock-based compensation cost is based on several criteria including, but not limited to, the valuation model used and associated input factors such as expected term of the award, stock price volatility, dividend rate, risk-free interest rate and award cancellation rate. The input factors used in the valuation model are based on subjective future expectations combined with management judgment. If there is a difference between the assumptions used in determining stock-based compensation costs and the actual factors, which become known over time, we may change future input factors used

Table of Contents

 

in determining stock-based compensation costs. These changes may materially impact our results of operations in the periods over which such costs are expensed.

 

The fair value of each option is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. We estimate the expected stock price volatility and expected life of our options based on historical data and representative peer group data. We use historical data to estimate forfeiture rates. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield with similar expected life.

 

Under our stock option plans, we may grant options to purchase up to a maximum of 6,644,000 shares of common stock, including outstanding options to employees, directors and consultants at a price not less than the fair market value on the date of the grant. These options generally vest over two to five years and generally expire seven to ten years from the date of the grant.

 

We recognized stock-based compensation expense of $456,000 and $1,451,000 during the quarter and nine months ended June 27, 2008, respectively, and $616,000 and $1,530,000 during the quarter and nine months ended June 29, 2007, respectively. Due to uncertainty surrounding the realization of the income tax benefit related to stock based compensation expense, there is no related income tax benefit recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for the quarter and nine months ended June 27, 2008 and June 29, 2007, respectively, as a full valuation allowance has been provided against the deferred tax asset.

 

The fair value of our stock options granted in the quarter and nine months ended June 27, 2008 and June 29, 2007, respectively, was estimated at the date of grant using the following weighted average assumptions:
