Item 12. RESULTS OF OPERATION AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
On September 4, 2003, National Semiconductor Corporation issued a news
release announcing earnings for the quarter ended August 24, 2003. The earnings
news release, which has been attached as Exhibit 99.1, contains Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Operations, Balance Sheets, and Statements of Cash
Flows that are presented in accordance with United States generally accepted
accounting principles, or GAAP.
The news release also contains information on operating results that
excludes special charges, miscellaneous gains, and the charge connected with an
accounting change. This operating results information is not presented in
accordance with GAAP and is provided as supplemental information because we
believe it gives investors additional information that will provide a better
understanding of the underlying performance of our business. The non-GAAP
results information should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute
for or superior to, the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP
that are contained in the news release.
The information in Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto shall not be deemed "filed"
for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
